The Company believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends in and in comparing its financial results with other similar companies, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors. These non-GAAP financial measures are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgments by management about which expense and income are excluded or included in determining these non-GAAP financial measures. Certain monetary amounts, percentages and other figures included in this presentation have been subject to rounding adjustments. Certain other amounts that appear in this presentation may not sum due to rounding.

Non-GAAP Measures and Definitions FFO, Core FFO, and AFFO FFO means funds from operations. It is a non-GAAP measure defined by NAREIT as net income (computed in accordance with GAAP). Our FFO is net income in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains (or losses) resulting from dispositions of properties, plus depreciation and amortization and impairment charges on depreciable real property. Core FFO means core funds from operations. Core FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as FFO adjusted to remove the effect of unusual and non-recurring items that are not expected to impact our operating performance or operations on an ongoing basis. These have included non-recurring severance and related charges and gains on insurance proceeds. AFFO means adjusted funds from operations. AFFO is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as Core FFO adjusted for GAAP net income related to non-cash revenues and expenses, such as straight-line rent, amortization of lease-related intangibles, capitalized interest expense, non-cash compensation expense, and amortization of deferred financing, amortization of above/below-market assumed debt, and amortization of loan origination costs. Historical cost accounting for real estate assets implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. In fact, real estate values historically have risen or fallen with market conditions. FFO is intended to be a standard supplemental measure of operating performance that excludes historical cost depreciation and valuation adjustments from net income. We consider FFO to be useful in evaluating potential property acquisitions and measuring operating performance. We further consider FFO, Core FFO and AFFO to be useful in determining funds available for payment of distributions. FFO, Core FFO and AFFO do not represent net income or cash flows from operations as defined by GAAP. You should not consider FFO, Core FFO and AFFO to be alternatives to net income as a reliable measure of our operating performance; nor should you consider FFO, Core FFO and AFFO to be alternatives to cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities (as defined by GAAP) as measures of liquidity. FFO, Core FFO and AFFO do not measure whether cash flow is sufficient to fund our cash needs, including principal amortization, capital improvements and distributions to stockholders. FFO, Core FFO and AFFO do not represent cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities as defined by GAAP. Further, FFO, Core FFO and AFFO as disclosed by other REITs might not be comparable to our calculations of FFO, Core FFO and AFFO. EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDAre and Annualized Adjusted EBITDAre EBITDA is computed by us as earnings before interest expense, income tax expense and depreciation and amortization. EBITDAre is the NAREIT definition of EBITDA (as defined above), but it is further adjusted to follow the definition included in a white paper issued in 2017 by NAREIT, which recommended that companies that report EBITDA also report EBITDAre. We compute EBITDAre in accordance with the definition adopted by NAREIT. NAREIT defines EBITDAre as EBITDA (as defined above) excluding gains (or losses) from sales of depreciable property and impairment charges on depreciable real property. Adjusted EBITDAre, as computed by us, is EBITDAre adjusted to exclude straight-line rent, non-cash compensation expense, non-recurring severance and related charges, and gain on insurance proceeds. 38
![slide39](https://capedge.com/proxy/8-K/0001798100-23-000056/ntstinvestorpresentation039.jpg)
Annualized Adjusted EBITDAre is Adjusted EBITDAre, plus adjustments for intraquarter investment activity, multiplied by four. We present EBITDA, EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre as they are measures commonly used in our industry. We believe that these measures are useful to investors and analysts because they provide supplemental information concerning our operating performance, exclusive of certain non-cash items and other costs. We use EBITDA and EBITDAre as measures of our operating performance and not as measures of liquidity. EBITDA, EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre do not include all items of revenue and expense included in net income, they do not represent cash generated from operating activities and they are not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash requirements; accordingly, they should not be considered alternatives to net income as a performance measure or cash flows from operations as a liquidity measure and should be considered in addition to, and not in lieu of, GAAP financial measures. Additionally, our computation of EBITDA and EBITDAre may differ from the methodology for calculating these metrics used by other equity REITs and, therefore, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other equity REITs. NOI, Cash NOI, and Normalized Cash NOI NOI means net operating income, and it is computed in accordance with GAAP. We compute NOI as net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding general and administrative expenses, interest expenses (or income), income tax expense, transaction costs, depreciation and amortization, gains (or losses) from the sales of depreciable property, real estate impairment losses, interest income on mortgage loans receivable, and other income (or expense). Cash NOI is computed by us as NOI excluding straight-line rent and amortization of lease-related intangibles. We believe NOI and Cash NOI provide useful and relevant information because they reflect only those income and expense items that are incurred at the property level and present such items on an unlevered basis. NOI and Cash NOI are not measurements of financial performance under GAAP, and our NOI and Cash NOI may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. You should not consider our NOI and Cash NOI as alternatives to net income or cash flows from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP. Normalized Cash NOI is computed by us as Cash NOI adjusted to remove recognized base rent from acquisitions and development that were completed during the period shown, and then replace the removed amount with an estimated equivalent ABR for the full period. It is further adjusted to remove base rent for properties disposed of during the period shown. Other Definitions ABR means annualized base rent. ABR is annualized contractual base rent in place as of the most recent quarter end for all leases that commenced as of that date, and annualized cash interest on mortgage loans receivable in place as of that date. Cash Yield is the annualized base rent contractually due from acquired properties, completed developments, and interest income from mortgage loans receivable, divided by the gross investment amount, or gross proceeds in the case of dispositions.

Defensive Category is considered by us to represent tenants that focus on necessity goods and essential services in the retail sector, including discount stores, grocers, drug stores and pharmacies, home improvement, automotive service and quick-service restaurants, which we refer to as defensive retail industries. The defensive sub-categories as we define them are as follows: (1) Necessity, which are retailers that are considered essential by consumers and include sectors such as drug stores, grocers and home improvement, (2) Discount, which are retailers that offer a low price point and consist of off-price and dollar stores, (3) Service, which consist of retailers that provide services rather than goods, including, tire and auto services and quick service restaurants, and (4) Other, which are retailers that are not considered defensive in terms of being considered necessity, discount or service, as defined by us. Investments are lease agreements in place at owned properties, properties that have leases associated with mortgage loans receivable, or in the case of master lease arrangements each property under the master lease is counted as a separate lease. Investment Grade (Rated) represents tenants, or tenants that are subsidiaries of a parent entity with a credit rating of BBB- (S&P/Fitch), Baa3 (Moody's) or NAIC2 (National Association of Insurance Commissioners) or higher. Investment Grade Profile (Unrated) represents tenants with investment grade credit metrics (more than $1.0 billion in annual sales and a debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio of less than 2.0x), but do not carry a published rating from S&P, Moody’s, Fitch or NAIC. Net Debt is a non-GAAP measure computed by us as the principal amount of total debt outstanding less cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash. Occupancy is expressed as a percentage, and it is the number of economically occupied properties divided by the total number of properties owned. Mortgage loans receivable and properties under development are excluded from the calculation. OP Units means operating partnership units not held by NETSTREIT. Pro forma Net Debt is a non-GAAP measure adjusted for the value of forward equity contracts as of the prior period end. Sub-Investment Grade (Rated) represents tenants or tenants that are subsidiaries of a parent entity (with such subsidiary making up at least 50% of the parent company total revenue), with a credit rating of BB+ (S&P/Fitch), Ba1 (Moody’s) or NAIC3 (National Association of Insurance Commissioners) or lower.
