NETSTREIT Corp. (NYSE: NTST) (the “Company”), today announced financial and operating results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2023.
“NETSTREIT had a strong second quarter completing $115 million in net investment activity at a blended cash yield of 6.8%. Our defensive net lease portfolio is benefiting from our focus on the highest credit quality U.S. retailers, which continue to provide us with ample investment opportunities via a variety of sourcing channels,” said Mark Manheimer, Chief Executive Officer of NETSTREIT. “In addition, we recently completed several debt transactions, which allowed us to substantially increase our liquidity profile, extend our nearest term debt maturity to 2027, and fix the interest rate on all our term loan facilities. With an improved balance sheet and a strong investment pipeline, we are increasing our 2023 AFFO per share guidance midpoint and our 2023 net investment activity guidance. Lastly, our board of directors has approved a 2.5% increase in our quarterly dividend to $0.205 per share.”

Certain of the forward-looking financial measures above are provided on a non-GAAP basis.
