Jay Whitehurst, Chief Executive Officer, commented: “National Retail Properties posted steady, consistent results in the second quarter of 2019, highlighted by a solid quarter of acquisitions and a meaningful uptick in our occupancy rate. In July, we increased our common stock dividend by three percent to 51.5 cents per quarter, while maintaining our very conservative dividend payout ratio. 2019 will mark our 30th consecutive year of increased annual dividends, a feat matched by only two other REITs and by less than 90 public companies in the United States.” National Retail Properties invests primarily in high-quality retail properties subject generally to long-term, net leases.  As of June 30, 2019, the company owned 3,043 properties in 48 states with a gross leasable area of approximately 32.1 million square feet and with a weighted average remaining lease term of 11.4 years.  For more information on the company, visit nnnreit.com. Management will hold a conference call on August 1, 2019, at 10:30 a.m. ET to review these results.  The call can be accessed on the National Retail Properties web site live at https://nnnreit.nnnr.staging.findsomewinmore.com/.  For those unable to listen to the live broadcast, a replay will be available on the company’s web site.  In addition, a summary of any earnings guidance given on the call will be posted to the company’s web site.
