Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Getty Realty Corp. reported strong first quarter 2026 results with higher earnings and a guidance increase. Net earnings rose to $26.6M, or $0.43 per diluted share, compared with $14.8M, or $0.25, a year earlier. Revenues from rental properties grew to $57.4M from $51.7M, as base rental income increased 12.5% to $55.8M, driven by acquisitions and rent escalations.

FFO increased to $42.7M, or $0.69 per share, from $31.7M, or $0.56, while AFFO rose to $39.0M, or $0.63 per share, from $33.8M, or $0.59. The company invested $30.3M across 29 properties at an 8.0% initial cash yield and expanded its committed investment pipeline to more than $125M for 43 properties.

Getty strengthened its balance sheet by receiving $250.0M from a private placement of senior unsecured notes, fully repaying borrowings on its $450.0M revolving credit facility, and advancing a follow-on equity program expected to raise in total about $301M in gross proceeds. It also extended leases covering $11.3M of annualized base rent, pushing weighted average lease term to 10.1 years and reducing near-term expirations. Reflecting this momentum, the company raised its 2026 AFFO guidance to a range of $2.50–$2.52 per diluted share.

Positive

  • Strong earnings and cash flow growth: Q1 2026 net earnings rose to $26.6M (from $14.8M), with FFO per share increasing to $0.69 and AFFO per share to $0.63, supported by a 12.5% rise in base rental income.
  • Improved guidance and visible growth pipeline: 2026 AFFO guidance was raised to $2.50–$2.52 per diluted share, while a committed investment pipeline of more than $125M across 43 properties offers clear runway for further portfolio and earnings expansion.
  • Balance sheet strengthening and reduced near-term risk: Getty received $250.0M from senior unsecured notes to repay its credit facility, is advancing roughly $301M of forward equity proceeds, extended leases on $11.3M of ABR, lengthened WALT to 10.1 years, and reduced 2026–2027 expirations to about 2.5% of ABR.

Negative

  • None.

Insights

Getty delivers strong Q1 growth, de-risks the balance sheet, and slightly lifts 2026 AFFO guidance.

Getty Realty posted meaningfully higher first quarter profitability. Net earnings increased from $14.8M to $26.6M, helped by rental property revenues rising to $57.4M. Base rental income grew 12.5%, reflecting newly acquired properties and contractual rent bumps, partially offset by dispositions.

Cash-flow metrics were solid: FFO rose to $42.7M ($0.69 per share) and AFFO to $39.0M ($0.63 per share). Environmental expenses turned into a sizable net credit, and there were non-recurring retirement and severance costs in general and administrative expenses, so some earnings tailwinds may not repeat in the same magnitude.

Strategically, the company invested $30.3M at an 8.0% initial cash yield and built a committed pipeline exceeding $125M across 43 properties. It also received $250.0M from new 2036 notes, repaid its credit facility, and advanced a follow-on equity program expected to generate roughly $301M in gross proceeds. Management nudged 2026 AFFO guidance to $2.50–$2.52 per share, signaling confidence in sustaining higher earnings with a largely fixed-rate, unsecured capital structure.

Funds From Operations financial
"Funds From Operations (“FFO”): $0.69 per share"
Funds from operations (FFO) measures the cash a real estate-focused company generates from its core property operations by adjusting net income to add back non-cash expenses like building depreciation and removing one-time gains or losses from property sales. Investors use FFO like a household’s monthly take-home pay—it's a clearer view of ongoing cash available to pay dividends, maintain properties and fund growth than raw accounting profit.
Adjusted Funds From Operations financial
"Adjusted Funds From Operations (“AFFO”): $0.63 per share"
Adjusted funds from operations is a financial measure that shows how much cash a real estate company generates from its property operations, excluding certain non-recurring items and accounting adjustments. It helps investors understand the company’s true cash flow ability to pay dividends or fund growth. This figure offers a clearer picture of ongoing financial performance by removing irregular or one-time factors that can distort regular income.
net lease REIT financial
"a net lease REIT focused on convenience and automotive retail real estate"
A net lease REIT is a company that owns income-producing real estate and rents it out under leases where the tenant pays most or all property costs such as taxes, insurance and maintenance. For investors, that structure can produce steady, more predictable rental income and lower landlord responsibilities, making these REITs similar to collecting rent from tenants who handle the bills — useful for income-focused portfolios and risk assessment.
sale-leaseback financial
"which the Company expects to acquire via sale-leaseback transactions at the end"
A sale-leaseback is a deal where an owner sells an asset—commonly real estate or equipment—to another party and immediately rents it back so they can keep using it. For investors, it matters because the seller converts a fixed asset into cash without disrupting operations, which can boost liquidity or pay down debt but also creates ongoing lease payments and long-term obligations that affect cash flow and the balance sheet.
forward sales agreements financial
"follow-on common stock offering in connection with forward sales agreements"
A forward sales agreement is a contract in which a seller agrees today to deliver an asset or future revenue at a set price on a specified future date, much like arranging now to sell next season’s crop at a fixed price. For investors this matters because it locks in future cash or reduces price uncertainty — providing predictable income but also limiting potential upside if market prices later move higher, and creating counterparty and delivery risk.
weighted average lease term financial
"increased the portfolio's weighted average lease term (WALT) to more than 10.0 years"
Weighted average lease term is the average remaining length of all leases in a property or group of properties, calculated so leases that pay more rent count more than small ones. It matters to investors because a longer weighted average lease term means steadier, more predictable rental income and less near-term risk of vacancies or renegotiations—think of it like the average remaining time on a group of paid subscriptions, weighted by subscription size.
Revenues from rental properties $57.4M
Net earnings $26.6M
FFO per share $0.69
AFFO per share $0.63
Base rental income growth 12.5% +12.5% YoY
2026 AFFO guidance range $2.50–$2.52 per diluted share
Guidance

Management increased 2026 AFFO guidance to $2.50–$2.52 per diluted share, incorporating completed transactions but excluding future acquisitions, dispositions, capital markets activities, and settlement of outstanding forward sale agreements.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

GETTY REALTY CORP. ANNOUNCES FIRST QUARTER 2026 RESULTS

- Expands Committed Investment Pipeline to More than $125 Million -

- Increases 2026 Full Year Earnings Guidance -

NEW YORK, NY, April 22, 2026 — Getty Realty Corp. (NYSE: GTY) (“Getty” or the “Company”), a net lease REIT focused on convenience and automotive retail real estate, announced today its financial and operating results for the quarter ended March 31, 2026.

First Quarter 2026 Highlights

Net earnings: $0.43 per share
Funds From Operations (“FFO”): $0.69 per share
Adjusted Funds From Operations (“AFFO”): $0.63 per share
Invested $30.3 million across 29 properties at an 8.0% initial cash yield
Extended leases totaling $11.3 million, or 5.0% of annualized base rent (ABR), and increased the portfolio's weighted average lease term (WALT) to more than 10.0 years
Raised gross proceeds of $129.9 million from a follow-on common stock offering in connection with forward sales agreements
Received gross proceeds of $250.0 million from a previously announced private placement of senior unsecured notes and repaid amounts outstanding under the Company’s revolving credit facility

“Getty had a productive first quarter highlighted by strong year-over-year earnings growth and an increase to our full year 2026 earnings guidance,” stated Christopher J. Constant, Getty’s President & Chief Executive Officer. ”Investment activity in the quarter reflected our efforts to continue diversifying our portfolio and, importantly, our opportunity set is as robust as we’ve seen in several quarters. We also executed multiple strategic lease extensions that reduced near-term lease expiration risk, and completed a well-timed forward equity offering that enhanced our liquidity profile to support our growing investment pipeline. We are very well positioned to execute our 2026 business plan.”

For the quarter ended March 31, 2026, base rental income grew 12.5% to $55.8 million, as compared to $49.6 million for the same period in 2025.

The growth in base rental income was driven by incremental revenue from recently acquired properties and contractual rent increases for in-place leases, partially offset by property dispositions.

The change in environmental expenses was primarily due to the removal of unknown reserve liabilities which had previously been accrued for certain properties. Environmental expenses vary from period to period and, accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed on the magnitude or the direction of changes in reported environmental expenses for any one period, or a comparison to prior periods.

The change in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to non-recurring costs related to the retirement of our former Chief Operating Officer, partially offset by decreases in stock-based compensation, professional fees, and certain transaction related costs.

Impairment charges result from (i) the accumulation of asset retirement costs at certain properties due to changes in estimated environmental liabilities, which increases the carrying values of these properties in excess of their fair values, and (ii) decreases in the carrying value of certain properties based on third-party indications of potential selling prices or reductions in estimated undiscounted cash flows expected to be received during the assumed holding period.

Portfolio Activities

Acquisitions and Development Funding

During the quarter ended March 31, 2026, the Company invested $30.3 million at an 8.0% initial cash yield, including:

The acquisition of 22 properties for $27.3 million, including 16 auto service centers and six drive-thru quick service restaurants.
Incremental development funding of $3.0 million for the construction of new-to-industry auto service centers and drive-thru quick service restaurants. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had advanced aggregate funding of $10.5 million for the development of new-to-industry properties that are either owned by the Company and under construction by its tenants, or which the Company expects to acquire via sale-leaseback transactions at the end of the respective construction periods.

Subsequent to quarter end, the Company invested $4.1 million, and, year-to-date, has invested a total of $34.4 million at an 8.0% initial cash yield.

Investment Pipeline

As of April 22, 2026, the Company had a committed investment pipeline of more than $125.0 million for the development and/or acquisition of 43 convenience and automotive retail properties. The Company expects to fund the majority of this investment activity, which includes transactions with 10 different tenants, over the next 3-12 months. While the Company has fully executed agreements for each transaction, the timing and amount of each investment is dependent on its counterparties and the schedules under which they are able to complete development projects and certain business acquisitions for which the Company is providing sale leaseback financing.

Redevelopments

As of March 31, 2026, the Company had signed leases for four redevelopment projects, including two sites under construction and two sites pending recapture from its net lease portfolio. Other potential projects are in various stages of feasibility planning.

Lease Extensions

As previously announced, during the first quarter, the Company extended the lease terms for five unitary leases totaling $11.3 million of ABR, or 5.0% of total ABR as March 31, 2026. This leasing activity contributed to improvements in the following portfolio metrics as of March 31, 2026:

The portfolio’s WALT increased to 10.1 years
ABR expiring in 2027 decreased by more than 70% to 1.6% of total ABR
Aggregate 2026 and 2027 lease expirations reduced to approximately 2.5% of total ABR

Dispositions

During the quarter ended March 31, 2026, the Company sold two properties for gross proceeds of $3.7 million and recorded a gain of $1.8 million on the dispositions.

Balance Sheet and Capital Markets

As of March 31, 2026, the Company had $1.0 billion of senior unsecured notes outstanding with a weighted average interest rate of 4.5% and a weighted average maturity of 6.0 years, and no amounts outstanding under its $450.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”).

Debt Capital Markets

As previously announced, in November 2025, the Company closed the private placement of $250.0 million of senior unsecured notes priced at a fixed rate of 5.76% and which mature on January 22, 2036 (the “2036 Notes”). The 2036 Notes funded in January 2026 and proceeds were used to repay amounts outstanding under the Revolver.

Equity Capital Markets

In February 2026, the Company completed a follow-on public offering of 4.0 million shares of common stock in connection with forward sales agreements. Upon settlement, the offering is anticipated to raise gross proceeds of approximately $129.9 million.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2026, the Company settled 650 thousand shares of common stock for net proceeds of approximately $19.9 million.

4

 


 

As of March 31, 2026, the Company had a total of approximately 5.5 million shares of common stock subject to outstanding forward sales agreements which, upon settlement, are anticipated to raise gross proceeds of approximately $171.5 million.

2026 Guidance

The Company is increasing its 2026 AFFO guidance to a range of $2.50 to $2.52 per diluted share from the prior range of $2.48 to $2.50 per diluted share. The Company’s outlook includes completed transaction activity as of the date of this release, but does not include prospective acquisitions, dispositions, or capital markets activities (including the settlement of outstanding forward sale agreements).

The guidance is based on current assumptions and is subject to risks and uncertainties more fully described in this press release and the Company’s periodic reports filed with the SEC.

AFFO per share is a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company does not provide a reconciliation of such forward-looking non-GAAP measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure because doing so would require unreasonable efforts due to the nature of the adjustments, which rely on assumptions and estimates that are subject to significant change throughout the year, necessary to calculate the non-GAAP measure.

About Getty Realty Corp.

Getty Realty Corp. is a publicly traded, net lease REIT specializing in the acquisition, financing and development of convenience, automotive and other single tenant retail real estate. As of March 31, 2026, the Company’s portfolio included 1,191 freestanding properties located in 45 states across the United States and Washington, D.C.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to measurements defined by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), the Company also focuses on Funds From Operations (“FFO”) and Adjusted Funds From Operations (“AFFO”) to measure its performance.

FFO and AFFO are generally considered by analysts and investors to be appropriate supplemental non-GAAP measures of the performance of REITs. FFO and AFFO are not in accordance with, or a substitute for, measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, FFO and AFFO are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. Neither FFO nor AFFO represent cash generated from operating activities calculated in accordance with GAAP and therefore these measures should not be

5

 


 

considered an alternative for GAAP net earnings or as a measure of liquidity. These measures should only be used to evaluate the Company’s performance in conjunction with corresponding GAAP measures.

FFO is defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) as GAAP net earnings before (i) depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, (ii) gains or losses on dispositions of real estate assets, (iii) impairment charges, and (iv) the cumulative effect of accounting changes.

The Company defines AFFO as FFO excluding (i) certain revenue recognition adjustments (defined below), (ii) certain environmental adjustments (defined below), (iii) stock-based compensation, (iv) amortization of debt issuance costs and (v) other non-cash and/or unusual items that are not reflective of the Company’s core operating performance.

Other REITs may use definitions of FFO and/or AFFO that are different than the Company’s and, accordingly, may not be comparable.

The Company believes that FFO and AFFO are helpful to analysts and investors in measuring the Company’s performance because both FFO and AFFO exclude various items included in GAAP net earnings that do not relate to, or are not indicative of, the core operating performance of the Company’s portfolio. Specifically, FFO excludes items such as depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, gains or losses on dispositions of real estate assets, and impairment charges. With respect to AFFO, the Company further excludes the impact of (i) deferred rental revenue (straight-line rent), the net amortization of above-market and below-market leases, adjustments recorded for the recognition of rental income from direct financing leases, and the amortization of deferred lease incentives (collectively, “Revenue Recognition Adjustments”), (ii) environmental accretion expenses, environmental litigation accruals, insurance reimbursements, legal settlements and judgments, and changes in environmental remediation estimates (collectively, “Environmental Adjustments”), (iii) stock-based compensation expense, (iv) amortization of debt issuance costs and (v) other items, which may include allowances for credit losses on notes and mortgages receivable and direct financing leases, losses on extinguishment of debt, retirement and severance costs, and other items that do not impact the Company’s recurring cash flow and which are not indicative of its core operating performance.

The Company pays particular attention to AFFO which it believes provides the most useful depiction of the core operating performance of its portfolio. By providing AFFO, the Company believes it is presenting information that assists analysts and investors in their assessment of the Company’s core operating performance, as well as the sustainability of its core operating performance with the sustainability of the core operating performance of other real estate companies. For a tabular reconciliation of FFO and AFFO to GAAP net earnings, see the table captioned “Reconciliation of Net Earnings to Funds From Operations and Adjusted Funds From Operations” included herein.
