(1) The annualized distribution rate is calculated as the current month’s distribution annualized and divided by the prior month’s net asset value (“NAV”), which is inclusive of all fees and expenses. The Company believes the annualized distribution rate is a useful measure of overall investment performance of our shares.
(2) Total return is calculated as the change in NAV per share during the respective periods plus any distributions per share declared in such periods and assumes any distributions are reinvested in the Company’s common shares in accordance with our distribution reinvestment plan. Total return for periods greater than one year are annualized. The Company believes total return is a useful measure of the overall investment performance of our shares.
As of December 31, 2025, the Company’s portfolio consisted of 3,889 properties with a weighted average lease term of 19 years and annual rental escalators of 2.2%. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company deployed over $5.4 billion at a weighted average cap rate of 8.1%* with average rental escalators of 2.3%*.
