Earnings Guidance The table below provides estimates for significant components of our 2026 earnings guidance. 2026 Guidance AFFO per share(1)(2) $4.54 to $4.58 Investment volume(3) $1.4 to $1.6 billion Disposition volume $25 to $75 million General and administrative expenses (% of adjusted revenue)(4)(5) 5.3% to 5.6% Non-reimbursable real estate expenses (% of adjusted revenue)(4) 1.0% to 1.5% Income and other tax expense $2 to $3 million Treasury stock method dilution(6) Approximately $0.01 The Company’s 2026 guidance is subject to risks and uncertainties more fully described in this press release and in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). (1) The Company does not provide guidance with respect to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure or provide reconciliations to GAAP from its forward-looking non-GAAP financial measure of AFFO per share guidance due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting the effect, timing and significance of certain amounts in the reconciliation that would be required by Item 10(e)(1)(i)(B) of Regulation S-K. Examples of these amounts include impairments of assets, gains and losses from sales of assets, and depreciation and amortization from new acquisitions or developments. In addition, certain non-recurring items may also significantly affect net income but are generally adjusted for in AFFO. Based on our historical experience, the dollar amounts of these items could be significant and could have a material impact on the Company’s GAAP results for the guidance period. (2) The Company's AFFO per share guidance utilizes the current forward SOFR curve to forecast interest expense related to any outstanding commercial paper notes and revolver borrowings during the year. (3) Reflects an increase from the prior 2026 investment volume guidance of $1.25 billion to $1.50 billion, issued on January 5, 2026. (4) Adjusted revenue equates to “Total Revenues” as presented in our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, excluding the amortization of above and below market lease intangibles. (5) Cash G&A expense is expected to be in a range of 3.7% to 4.0% of adjusted revenue. Cash G&A is defined as “General and administrative” expenses as presented in our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, less stock-based compensation expense. (6) Represents the estimated dilutive impact of the Company’s outstanding forward equity calculated in accordance with the treasury stock method, which is included in the AFFO per share guidance range. CEO Comments "We are pleased with our performance during 2025, investing approximately $1.55 billion to further strengthen our best‑in‑class retail portfolio,” said Joey Agree, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We paired this robust capital deployment with proactive balance sheet management, raising approximately $1.5 billion of long-term capital and achieving an A‑ issuer rating with a stable outlook from Fitch Ratings.

(“Nareit”) to mean net income computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains (or losses) from sales of real estate assets and/or changes in control, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization and any impairment charges on depreciable real estate assets, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values instead have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, most real estate industry investors consider FFO to be helpful in evaluating a real estate company’s operations. FFO should not be considered an alternative to net income as the primary indicator of the Company’s operating performance, or as an alternative to cash flow as a measure of liquidity. Further, while the Company adheres to the Nareit definition of FFO, its presentation of FFO is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures of other REITs due to the fact that all REITs may not use the same definition. Core Funds from Operations (“Core FFO”) The Company defines Core FFO as Nareit FFO with the addback of (i) noncash amortization of acquisition purchase price related to above- and below- market lease intangibles and discount on assumed debt and (ii) certain infrequently occurring items that reduce or increase net income in accordance with GAAP. Management believes that its measure of Core FFO facilitates useful comparison of performance to its peers who predominantly transact in sale-leaseback transactions and are thereby not required by GAAP to allocate purchase price to lease intangibles. Unlike many of its peers, the Company has acquired the substantial majority of its net-leased properties through acquisitions of properties from third parties or in connection with the acquisitions of ground leases from third parties. Core FFO should not be considered an alternative to net income as the primary indicator of the Company’s operating performance, or as an alternative to cash flow as a measure of liquidity. Further, the Company’s presentation of Core FFO is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures of other REITs due to the fact that all REITs may not use the same definition. Adjusted Funds from Operations (“AFFO”) AFFO is a non-GAAP financial measure of operating performance used by many companies in the REIT industry. AFFO further adjusts FFO and Core FFO for certain non-cash items that reduce or increase net income computed in accordance with GAAP. Management considers AFFO a useful supplemental measure of the Company’s performance, however, AFFO should not be considered an alternative to net income as an indication of its performance, or to cash flow as a measure of liquidity or ability to make distributions. The Company’s computation of AFFO may differ from the methodology for calculating AFFO used by other equity REITs, and therefore may not be comparable to such other REITs. AGREE REALTY CORPORATION RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES (In thousands, except share and per-share data) (Unaudited) Three months ended December 31, 2025 Mortgage notes payable, net $ 41,546 Unsecured term loan, net 348,074 Senior unsecured notes, net 2,584,608 Unsecured revolving credit facility and commercial paper notes 320,500 Total Debt per the Consolidated Balance Sheet $ 3,294,728 Unamortized debt issuance costs and discounts, net 28,650 Total Debt $ 3,323,378 Cash and cash equivalents $ (16,295 ) Cash held in escrows (4,327 ) Net Debt $ 3,302,756 Anticipated Net Proceeds from Forward Equity Offerings (716,058 ) Proforma Net Debt $ 2,586,698 Net Income $ 56,209 Interest expense, net 36,362 Income and other tax expense 260 Depreciation of rental real estate assets 42,427 Amortization of lease intangibles - in-place leases and leasing costs 20,367 Non-real estate depreciation 642 Provision for Impairment 1,600 (Gain) loss on sale or involuntary conversion of assets, net (2,047 ) EBITDAre $ 155,820 Run-Rate Impact of Investment, Disposition and Leasing Activity 4,405 Amortization of above (below) market lease intangibles, net 9,988 Recurring EBITDA $ 170,213 Annualized Recurring EBITDA $ 680,852 Total Debt per the Consolidated Balance Sheet to Annualized Net Income 14.8x Net Debt to Recurring EBITDA 4.9x Proforma Net Debt to Recurring EBITDA 3.8x Financial Measures Total Debt and Net Debt The Company defines Total Debt as debt per the consolidated balance sheet excluding unamortized debt issuance costs, original issue discounts and debt discounts. Net Debt is defined as Total Debt less cash, cash equivalents and cash held in escrows. The Company considers the non-GAAP measures of Total Debt and Net Debt to be key supplemental measures of the Company's overall liquidity, capital structure and leverage because they provide industry analysts, lenders and investors useful information in understanding our financial condition. The Company's calculation of Total Debt and Net Debt may not be comparable to Total Debt and Net Debt reported by other REITs that interpret the definitions differently than the Company. The Company presents Net Debt on both an actual and proforma basis, assuming the net proceeds of the Forward Offerings (see below) are used to pay down debt. The Company believes the proforma measure may be useful to investors in understanding the potential effect of the Forward Offerings on the Company's capital structure, its future borrowing capacity, and its ability to service its debt. Forward Offerings The Company has 9,619,245 shares remaining to be settled under the Forward Equity Offerings. Upon settlement, the offerings are anticipated to raise net proceeds of approximately $716.1 million based on the applicable forward sale price as of December 31, 2025. The applicable forward sale price varies depending on the offering. The Company is contractually obligated to settle the offerings by certain dates between June 2026 and May 2027. EBITDAre EBITDAre is defined by Nareit to mean net income computed in accordance with GAAP, plus interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, any gains (or losses) from sales of real estate assets and/or changes in control, any impairment charges on depreciable real estate assets, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. The Company considers the non-GAAP measure of EBITDAre to be a key supplemental measure of the Company's performance and should be considered along with, but not as an alternative to, net income or loss as a measure of the Company's operating performance. The Company considers EBITDAre a key supplemental measure of the Company's operating performance because it provides an additional supplemental measure of the Company's performance and operating cash flow that is widely known by industry analysts, lenders and investors. The Company’s calculation of EBITDAre may not be comparable to EBITDAre reported by other REITs that interpret the Nareit definition differently than the Company. Recurring EBITDA The Company defines Recurring EBITDA as EBITDAre with the addback of noncash amortization of above- and below- market lease intangibles, and after adjustments for the run-rate impact of the Company's investment and disposition activity for the period presented, as well as adjustments for non-recurring benefits or expenses. The Company considers the non-GAAP measure of Recurring EBITDA to be a key supplemental measure of the Company's performance and should be considered along with, but not as an alternative to, net income or loss as a measure of the Company's operating performance. The Company considers Recurring EBITDA a key supplemental measure of the Company's operating performance because it represents the Company's earnings run rate for the period presented and because it is widely followed by industry analysts, lenders and investors. Our Recurring EBITDA may not be comparable to Recurring EBITDA reported by other companies that have a different interpretation of the definition of Recurring EBITDA. Our ratio of net debt to Recurring EBITDA is used by management as a measure of leverage and may be useful to investors in understanding the Company’s ability to service its debt, as well as assess the borrowing capacity of the Company. Our ratio of net debt to Recurring EBITDA is calculated by taking annualized Recurring EBITDA and dividing it by our net debt per the consolidated balance sheet. Annualized Net Income Represents net income for the three months ended December 31, 2025, on an annualized basis.

The Company adopted the practical expedient in FASB ASC 842 that alleviates the requirement to separately present lease and non-lease components of lease contracts. As a result, all income earned pursuant to tenant leases is reflected as one line, “Rental Income,” in the consolidated statement of operations. The purpose of this table is to provide additional supplementary detail of Rental Income. (2) Represents contractual rentals and/or reimbursements as required by tenant lease agreements, recognized on an accrual basis of accounting. The Company believes that the presentation of contractual lease income is not, and is not intended to be, a presentation in accordance with GAAP. The Company believes this information is frequently used by management, investors, analysts and other interested parties to evaluate the Company’s performance. (3) Represents adjustments to recognize minimum rents on a straight-line basis, consistent with the requirements of FASB ASC 842. (4) In allocating the fair value of an acquired property, above- and below-market lease intangibles are recorded based on the present value of the difference between the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the leases at the time of acquisition and the Company's estimate of current market lease rates for the property.
