Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Accounting and Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited ~~consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2017~~Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with ~~U.S.~~accounting principles generally accepted ~~accounting principles~~in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for audited financial statements. The unaudited ~~consolidated financial statements~~Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim period presented. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, ~~2017~~2021 may not be indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, ~~2017.~~2021. Amounts as of December 31, ~~2016~~2020 included in the ~~consolidated financial statements~~Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been derived from the audited ~~consolidated financial statements~~Consolidated Financial Statements as of that date. The unaudited ~~consolidated financial statements,~~Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, included herein, should be read in conjunction with the audited ~~consolidated financial statements~~Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto, as well as ~~Management's~~Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, in ~~our~~the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2016.~~2020.

The unaudited ~~consolidated financial statements~~Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company, the Operating Partnership and its ~~wholly-owned~~wholly owned subsidiaries. The Company, as the sole general partner, held 99.5% and 99.4% of the Operating Partnership’s common equity as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, as well as the Series A preferred equity interest. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been ~~eliminated.~~eliminated, including the Company’s Series A preferred equity interest in the Operating Partnership.

Table of Contents

At September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the non-controlling interest in the Operating Partnership consisted of a 0.5% and 0.6% ownership interest in the Operating Partnership held by the Company’s founder and chairman, respectively. The Operating Partnership Common Units may, under certain circumstances, be exchanged for shares of common stock. The Company as sole general partner of the Operating Partnership has the option to settle exchanged Operating Partnership Common Units held by others for cash based on the current trading price of its shares. Assuming the exchange of all non-controlling Operating Partnership Common Units, there would have been 70,127,367 shares of common stock outstanding at September 30, 2021.

Significant Risks and Uncertainties

~~Use~~Currently, one of ~~Estimates~~the most significant risks and uncertainties continues to be the potential adverse effect of the current pandemic of the novel coronavirus, or COVID-19, and its variants. The COVID-19 pandemic has had repercussions across regional and global economies and financial markets. The outbreak of COVID-19 in many countries, including the United States, has significantly adversely impacted economic activity and has contributed to significant volatility and negative pressure in financial markets. The COVID-19 pandemic had resulted in a number of our tenants temporarily closing their stores and requesting rent deferrals or rent abatements during this pandemic. Although the duration and severity of this pandemic are still uncertain, there is reason to believe that the success of vaccination efforts in the U.S. will lead to a decline in COVID-19 cases and have a positive impact on businesses, as federal, state and local restrictions are lifted and individuals return to pre-pandemic activities.

The ~~preparation~~COVID-19 pandemic could still have material and adverse effects on our financial condition, results of ~~financial statements~~operations and cash flows in ~~conformity with GAAP requires management~~the near term due to, ~~make estimates~~but not limited to, the following:

●

reduced economic activity severely impacting our tenants’ businesses, financial condition and liquidity and which may cause tenants to be unable to fully meet their obligations to us. Certain tenants have sought to modify such obligations and may seek additional relief and additional tenants may seek modifications of such obligations, resulting in increases in uncollectible receivables and reductions in rental income;

●

the negative financial impact of the pandemic which could impact our future compliance with financial covenants of our credit facility and other debt agreements; and

●

weaker economic conditions which could cause us to recognize impairment in value of our tangible or intangible assets.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2021, the Company collected substantially all rent payments originally contracted for in the period. However, the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact our operations and ~~assumptions that affect~~those of our tenants will still depend on future developments which are still uncertain, including the ~~reported amounts~~scope, severity and remaining duration of ~~(1) assets and liabilities~~the pandemic, the actions taken to contain the pandemic or mitigate its impact, and the ~~disclosure of contingent assets~~direct and ~~liabilities as~~indirect economic effects of the ~~date of the financial statements,~~pandemic and ~~(2) revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.~~

~~Reclassification~~

Certain reclassifications of prior period amounts have been made in the consolidated financial statements and footnotes in order to conform to the current presentation. Prepaid rents are presented on the Balance Sheet as Deferred Revenue; in previously filed reports prepaid rents were presented in Accounts Payable - Operating. The classification of below-market lease intangibles are presented net of accumulated amortization as a Liability; in previously filed reports below-market lease intangibles were presented in Unamortized Deferred Expenses: Lease Intangibles, net with in-place and above-market lease intangibles. As of September 30, 2017, all fully amortized deferred financing costs attributable to the credit facility were written off. Cash held in escrows are presented on the Statement of Cash Flows in investing activities; in previously filed reports cash held in escrows were presented in operating activities.

However, as a result of ~~acquiring, developing~~the many uncertainties surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, we are still not able to fully predict the impact that it ultimately will have on our financial condition, results of operations and ~~managing retail real estate which is considered to be one reporting segment.

Real Estate Investments

The Company records the acquisition of real estate at cost, including acquisition and closing costs. For properties developed by the Company, all direct and indirect costs related to planning, development and construction, including interest, real estate taxes and other miscellaneous costs incurred during the construction period, are capitalized for financial reporting purposes and recorded as property under development until construction has been completed.

Assets are classified as real estate held for sale based on specific criteria as outlined in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 360, Property, Plant & Equipment. Properties classified as ~~“held~~real estate held for ~~sale”~~sale are recorded at the lower of their carrying value or their fair value, less anticipated

Table of Contents

selling costs. Any properties classified as held for sale are not depreciated. Assets are generally classified as real estate held for sale once management has actively engaged in marketing the asset and has received a firm purchase commitment that is expected to close within one year. The Company classified 3 operating properties as real estate held for sale at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the assets for which are separately presented in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Real estate held for sale consisted of the following as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 (in thousands):


	September 30, 2021		December 31, 2020

Total Real Estate Held for Sale, net	$	5,571	$	1,199

~~Accounting for~~ Acquisitions of Real Estate

The acquisition of property for investment purposes is typically accounted for as an asset acquisition. The Company allocates the purchase price to land, buildings and identified intangible assets and liabilities, based in each case on their relative estimated fair values and without giving rise to goodwill. Intangible assets and liabilities represent the value of in-place leases and above- or below-market leases. In making estimates of fair values, the Company may use a number of sources, including data provided by independent third parties, as well as information obtained by the Company as a result of its due diligence, including expected future cash flows of the property and various characteristics of the markets where the property is located.

In allocating the fair value of the identified intangible assets and liabilities of an acquired property, in-place lease intangibles are valued based on the Company’s estimates of costs related to tenant acquisition and the carrying costs that would be incurred during the time it would take to locate a tenant if the property were vacant, considering current market conditions and costs to execute similar leases at the time of the acquisition. 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. In the case of sale-leaseback transactions, it is typically assumed that the lease is not in-place prior to the close of the transaction.

Depreciation and Amortization

Land, buildings and improvements are recorded and stated at cost. The Company’s properties are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated remaining useful life of the assets, which are generally 40 years for buildings and 10 to 20 years for improvements. Properties classified as held for sale and properties under development or redevelopment are not depreciated. Major replacements and betterments, which improve or extend the life of the asset, are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives.

In-place lease intangible assets and the capitalized above- and below-market lease intangibles are amortized over the non-cancelable term of the lease unless the Company believes it is reasonably certain that the tenant will renew the lease for an option term, ~~whereby~~in which case the Company amortizes the value attributable to the renewal over the renewal period. In-place lease intangible assets are amortized to amortization expense and above- and below-market lease intangibles are amortized as a net adjustment to rental income. In the event of early lease termination, the remaining net book value of any above- or below-market lease intangible is recognized as an adjustment to rental income.

Table of Contents

The following schedule summarizes the Company’s amortization of lease intangibles for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended

Impairments

The Company reviews real estate investments and related lease intangibles for possible impairment when certain events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable through operations plus estimated disposition proceeds. Events or changes in circumstances that may occur include, but are not limited to, significant changes in real estate market conditions, estimated residual values and an expectation to sell assets before the end of the previously estimated life. Impairments are measured to the extent the current book value exceeds the estimated fair value of ~~identified intangible~~the asset less disposition costs for any assets classified as held for sale.

The valuation of impaired assets is determined using valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis, analysis of recent comparable sales transactions and ~~liabilities acquired~~purchase offers received from third parties, which are Level 3 inputs. The Company may consider a single valuation technique or multiple valuation techniques, as appropriate, when estimating the fair value of its real estate. Estimating future cash flows is ~~amortized to depreciation~~highly subjective and ~~amortization over the remaining term of the related leases.~~estimates can differ materially from actual results.

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Cash Held in Escrows

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and money market accounts. Cash held in escrows primarily relates to delayed like-kind exchange transactions pursued under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”). The account balances of cash and cash held in escrow periodically exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance coverage, and as a result, there is a concentration of credit risk related to amounts on deposit in excess of FDIC insurance coverage. WeThe Company had ~~$25.8~~$101.6 million and ~~$32.4~~$7.0 million in cash and cash held in escrow as of September 30, ~~2017~~2021 and December 31, ~~2016,~~2020, respectively, in excess of the FDIC insured limit.

Revenue Recognition and Accounts Receivable
The Company leases real estate to its tenants under long-term net leases which are accounted for as operating leases. Under this method, leases that have fixed and determinable rent increases are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Rental increases based upon changes in the consumer price indexes, or other variable factors, are recognized only after changes in such factors have occurred and are then applied according to the lease agreements. Certain leases also provide for additional rent based on tenants’ sales volumes. These rents are recognized when determinable after the tenant exceeds a sales breakpoint.

Recognizing rent escalations on a straight-line method results in rental revenue in the early years of a lease being higher than actual cash received, creating a straight-line rent receivable asset which is included in the Accounts Receivable –- Tenants line item in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The balance of straight-line rent receivables at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 was $37.9 million and $29.8 million, respectively. To the extent any of the tenants under these leases become unable to pay their contractual cash rents, the Company may be required to write down the straight-line rent receivable from those tenants, which would reduce rental income.

The Company reviews the collectability of charges under its ~~rent receivables for collectability~~tenant operating leases on a regular basis, taking into consideration changes in factors such as the tenant’s payment history, the financial condition of the tenant, business conditions in the industry in which the tenant operates and economic conditions in the area where the property is located. The Company’s assessment has specifically included the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, which represents a material risk to collectability (see Significant Risks and Uncertainties above). In the event that ~~the~~ collectability ~~of a receivable~~ with respect to any tenant ~~is in doubt, a provision for uncollectible amounts will be established or a direct write-off~~changes, the Company recognizes an adjustment to rental revenue. The Company’s review of ~~the specific rent receivable will be made. For~~collectability of charges under its operating leases also includes any accrued rental ~~revenues~~revenue related to the straight-line method of reporting rental ~~revenue,~~revenue. As of September 30, 2021, the Company ~~performs~~has 4 tenants where collection is no longer considered probable. For these tenants, the Company is recording rental income on a ~~periodic review of receivable balances~~cash basis and has written off any outstanding receivables, including straight-line rent receivables. These tenants had an immaterial impact to ~~assess~~Rental Income and Net Income for the ~~risk of uncollectible amounts~~three and ~~establish appropriate provisions.~~

The Company’s leases provide for reimbursement from tenants for common area maintenance (“CAM”), insurance, real estate taxes and other operating ~~expenses ("Operating Cost Reimbursement Revenue").~~expenses. A portion of ~~our Operating Cost Reimbursement Revenue~~the Company’s operating cost reimbursement revenue is estimated each period and is recognized as rental revenue in the period the recoverable costs are incurred and accrued. ~~Receivables from Operating Cost Reimbursement Revenue are included in our Accounts Receivable - Tenants line item in our consolidated balance sheets.~~ The balance of unbilled ~~Operating Cost Reimbursement Receivable~~operating cost reimbursement receivable at September 30, ~~2017~~2021 and December 31, ~~2016~~2020 was ~~$1.9~~$10.0 million and ~~$1.1~~$4.1 million, respectively.

The Company has adopted the practical expedient in FASB ASC Topic 842, Leases (“ASC 842”) that allows lessors to combine non-lease components from the lease component when the timing and pattern of transfer for the lease components and non-lease components are the same and the lease component is classified as an operating lease. As a result, all rentals and reimbursements earned pursuant to tenant leases are reflected as one line, “Rental Income,” in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income.

Rent Concessions – COVID-19

~~AGREE REALTY CORPORATION~~The Company has provided lease concessions to certain tenants in response to the impact of COVID-19, in the form of rent deferrals. The Company has made an election to account for such lease concessions consistent with how those concessions would be accounted for under ASC 842 if enforceable rights and obligations for those concessions had already existed in the leases. This election is available for concessions related to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic that do not result in a substantial increase in our rights as lessor, including concessions that result in the total payments required by the modified lease being substantially the same as or less than total payments required by the original lease.

Sales Tax

The Company collects various taxes from tenants and remits these amounts, on a net basis, to the applicable taxing authorities.

Earnings per Share

Earnings per share ~~have~~of common stock has been computed pursuant to the guidance in FASB ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share. The guidance requires the classification of the Company’s unvested restricted stock, which contain rights to receive non-forfeitable dividends, as participating securities requiring the two-class method of computing net income per share of common stock. In accordance with the two-class method, earnings per share has been computed by dividing the net income ~~after allocation~~less net income attributable to unvested restricted shares by the weighted average number of shares of common ~~shares outstanding.~~stock outstanding less unvested restricted shares. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average shares of common ~~shares~~stock and potentially dilutive ~~common shares~~securities outstanding in accordance with the treasury stock method.

Forward Equity Sales

The Company occasionally sells shares of common stock through forward sale agreements to enable the Company to set the price of such shares upon pricing the offering (subject to certain adjustments) while delaying the issuance of such shares and the receipt of the net proceeds by the Company.

To account for the forward sale agreements, the Company considers the accounting guidance governing financial instruments and derivatives. To date, the Company has concluded that its forward sale agreements are not liabilities as they do not embody obligations to repurchase its shares nor do they embody obligations to issue a variable number of shares for which the monetary value are predominantly fixed, varying with something other than the fair value of the shares, or varying inversely in relation to its shares. The Company then evaluates whether the agreements meet the derivatives and hedging guidance scope exception to be accounted for as equity instruments. The Company has concluded that the agreements are classifiable as equity contracts based on the following assessments: (i) none of the agreements’ exercise contingencies are based on observable markets or indices besides those related to the market for the Company’s own stock price and operations; and (ii) none of the settlement provisions precluded the agreements from being indexed to its own stock.

The Company also considers the potential dilution resulting from the forward sale agreements on the earnings per share calculations. The Company uses the treasury stock method to determine the dilution resulting from the forward sale agreements during the period of time prior to settlement.

Equity Offering Costs

Underwriting commissions and offering costs of equity offerings have been reflected as a reduction of additional paid-in-capital in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Income Taxes ~~(not presented in thousands)~~

For the periods covered in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company believes it has qualified as a REIT. Accordingly, no provision has been made for federal income taxes. Notwithstanding ~~the Company’s~~its qualification for taxation as a REIT, the Company is subject to certain state ~~and local~~ taxes on its income and real estate.

Earnings and profits that determine the taxability of distributions to stockholders differ from net income reported for financial reporting purposes due to differences in the estimated useful lives and methods used to compute depreciation and the carrying value (basis) of the investments in properties for tax purposes, among other things.

As a result, certain activities of the Company which occur within its TRS entities are subject to federal and state income taxes. AsAll provisions for federal income taxes in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are attributable to the Company’s TRS.

The Company regularly analyzes its various federal and state filing positions and only recognizes the income tax effect in its financial statements when certain criteria regarding uncertain income tax positions have been met. The Company believes that its income tax positions would more likely than not be sustained upon examination by all relevant taxing authorities. Therefore, no provisions for uncertain income tax positions have been recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Fair Values of Financial Instruments

The Company’s estimates of fair value of financial and non-financial assets and liabilities are based on the framework established in the fair value accounting ~~guidance.~~guidance, ASC 820 Fair Value Measurement. The framework specifies a hierarchy of valuation inputs, ~~which was~~ established to increase consistency, clarity and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures. The guidance describes a fair value hierarchy based ~~upon~~on three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value, two of which are considered observable and one that is considered unobservable. The following describes the three levels:

~~Level 1 –~~

~~Valuation is based upon quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.~~

~~Level 2 –~~

Valuation is based upon inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

~~Level 3 –~~

Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use at least one significant assumption not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques include option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques.

Level 1 – Valuation is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – Valuation is based on inputs other than Level 1 inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Note 3 – Leases

Tenant Leases

The Company is primarily focused on the ownership, acquisition, development and management of retail properties leased to industry leading tenants. As of September 30, 2021, the Company’s portfolio was approximately 99.6% leased and had a weighted average remaining lease term (excluding extension options) of approximately 9.5 years. A significant majority of its properties are leased to national tenants and approximately 66.9% of its annualized base rent was derived from tenants, or parent entities thereof, with an investment grade credit rating from S&P Global Ratings, Moody’s Investors Service, Fitch Ratings or the National Association of Insurance Commissioners.

Substantially all of the Company’s tenants are subject to net lease agreements. A net lease typically requires the tenant to be responsible for minimum monthly rent and actual property operating expenses incurred, including property taxes, insurance and maintenance. In addition, the Company’s tenants are typically subject to future rent increases based on fixed amounts or increases in the consumer price index and certain leases provide ~~guidance on determining~~for additional rent calculated as a percentage of the tenants’ gross sales above a specified level. Certain of the Company’s properties are subject to leases under which ~~changes~~it retains responsibility for specific costs and expenses of the property.

The Company’s land leases do not include any variable lease payments. These leases typically provide multi-year renewal options to extend their term as lessee at the Company’s option.

The mortgage loans encumbering the Company’s properties are generally non-recourse, subject to certain exceptions for which we would be liable for any resulting losses incurred by the lender. These exceptions vary from loan to loan, but generally include fraud or material misrepresentations, misstatements or omissions by the borrower, intentional or grossly negligent conduct by the borrower that harms the property or results in a loss to the lender, filing of a bankruptcy petition by the borrower, either directly or indirectly, and certain environmental liabilities. At September 30, ~~2017~~2021, there were no mortgage loans with partial recourse to the Company.

~~(Unaudited)~~The Company has entered into mortgage loans that are secured by multiple properties and contain cross-default and cross-collateralization provisions. Cross-collateralization provisions allow a lender to foreclose on multiple properties in the event that the Company defaults under the loan.

Note 79 – Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activity

Background

The Company is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. The Company principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of its core business activities. The Company manages economic risk, including interest rate, liquidity and credit risk primarily by managing the amount, sources and duration of its debt funding and, to a limited extent, the use of derivative instruments. For additional information regarding the leveling of ~~our~~the Company’s derivatives, ~~(refer~~refer to Note 910 – Fair Value ~~Measurements)~~Measurements.

The Company’s objective in using interest rate derivatives is to manage its exposure to interest rate movements and add stability to interest expense. To accomplish this objective, the Company uses interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed rate payments over the life of the agreement without exchange of the underlying notional amount.

The Company recognizes all changes in fair value for hedging instruments designated ~~these derivative instruments as~~and qualifying for cash flow ~~hedges. As such, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivatives designated, and that qualify as cash flow hedges, is recorded~~hedge accounting treatment as a component of other comprehensive income (loss). The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivative instrument is recognized directly in interest expense. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company has not recorded any hedge ineffectiveness in earnings. Amounts in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income ~~(Loss)~~(OCI).

Amounts reported in accumulated OCI related to currently outstanding interest rate derivatives ~~will be reclassified~~are recognized as an adjustment to ~~interest expense~~income as interest payments are made on the Company’s variable-rate debt.

Note 910 – Fair Value Measurements

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value

The Company accounts for fair values in accordance with ~~FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820~~~~Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure~~(ASC ~~820).~~820. ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820 applies to reported balances that are required or permitted to be measured at fair value under existing accounting pronouncements; accordingly, the standard does not require any new fair value measurements of reported balances.

ASC 820 emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement. Therefore, a fair value measurement should be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources

Table of Contents

independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs that are classified within Levels 1 and 2 of the hierarchy) and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions (unobservable inputs classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy).

Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs may include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, as well as inputs that are observable for the asset or liability (other than quoted prices), such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, which are typically based on an entity’s own assumptions, as there is little, if any, related market activity. In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls, is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

Derivative Financial Instruments

Currently, the Company uses interest rate swap agreements to manage its interest rate risk. The valuation of these instruments is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves.

To comply with the provisions of ASC 820, the Company incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both its own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. In adjusting the fair value of its derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, the Company has considered the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral postings, thresholds, mutual puts, and guarantees.

Although the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with its derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by itself and its counterparties. However, as of September 30, ~~2017,~~2021, the Company has assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions and has determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of its derivatives. As a result, the Company has determined that its derivative valuations in their entirety are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The table below presents the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, ~~2017~~2021 and December 31, ~~2016~~2020 (in thousands):

Other Financial Instruments

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, receivables and accounts payable and accrued liabilities are reasonable estimates of their fair values because of the short maturity of these financial instruments.

The Company estimated the fair value of ~~our~~its debt based on ~~our~~its incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements with the same remaining maturity and on the discounted estimated future cash payments to be made for other debt. The discount rate used to calculate the fair value of debt approximates current lending rates for loans and assumes the debt is outstanding through maturity. Since such amounts are estimates that are based on limited available market information for similar transactions, which is a Level 2 non-recurring measurement, there can be no assurance that the disclosed value of any financial instrument could be realized by immediate settlement of the instrument.

Fixed rate debt (including variable rate debt swapped to fixed, excluding the value of the derivatives) with carrying values of ~~$484.9 million~~$1.53 billion and ~~$386.9 million~~$1.13 billion as of September 30, ~~2017~~2021 and December 31, ~~2016,~~2020, respectively, had fair values of ~~approximately $499.8 million~~$1.63 billion and ~~$401.4 million,~~$1.28 billion, respectively. Variable rate debt’s fair value ~~is estimated to be equal to the~~had 0 remaining carrying ~~values of $0 and $14.0 million~~value as of September 30, ~~2017~~2021 and had a carrying value of $92.0 million at December 31, ~~2016, respectively.~~2020.

Note 1011 – Equity Incentive Plan

In May 2020, the Company’s stockholders approved the Agree Realty Corporation 2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2020 Plan”), which replaced the Agree Realty Corporation 2014 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the “2014 Plan”). The 2020 Plan provides for the award to employees, directors and consultants of the Company ~~estimates the fair value~~ of options, restricted stock, ~~grants at~~restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, performance awards (which may take the ~~date~~form of ~~grant~~performance units or performance shares) and ~~amortizes those amounts into expense on a straight line basis~~other awards to acquire up to an aggregate of 700,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. All subsequent awards of equity or ~~amount vested, if greater, over~~equity rights will be granted under the ~~appropriate vesting period.~~

2020 Plan, and no further awards will be made under the 2014 Plan. As of September 30, ~~2017, there was $6.8 million~~2021, 488,985 shares of ~~total unrecognized compensation costs related to~~common stock were available for issuance under the outstanding restricted stock, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 3.6 years. The Company used 0% for both the discount factor and forfeiture rate for determining the fair value2020 Plan.

Restricted Stock

Shares of restricted ~~stock.~~

common stock (“restricted shares”) have been granted to certain employees.

The holder of a restricted ~~stock~~share award is generally entitled at all times on and after the date of issuance of the restricted shares to exercise the rights of a stockholder of the Company, including the right to vote the shares and the right to receive dividends on the shares. The restricted shares vest over a five-year period based on continued service to the Company.

The Company estimates the fair value of restricted share grants at the date of grant and amortizes those amounts into expense on a straight-line basis or amount vested, if greater, over the appropriate vesting period. The Company recognized expense relating to restricted share grants of $0.8 million and $0.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively and $2.6 million and $2.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

As of September 30, 2021, there was $10.0 million of total unrecognized compensation costs related to the outstanding restricted stock, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 3.5 years. The Company used 0% for the forfeiture rate for determining the fair value of restricted stock. The intrinsic value of restricted shares redeemed was less than $0.1 million for each of the three months ended September 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020. The intrinsic value of restricted shares redeemed was $1.8 million and $1.6 million during the nine months end September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Performance Units and Shares

Performance units were granted to certain executive officers during 2020 and 2019, while performance shares were granted prior to those years. Performance units or shares are subject to a three-year performance period, at the conclusion of which shares awarded are to be determined by the Company’s total shareholder return compared to the constituents of the MSCI US REIT Index and a defined peer group. 50% of the award is based upon the total shareholder return percentile rank versus the constituents in the MSCI US REIT index for the three-year performance period; and 50% of the award is based upon TSR percentile rank versus a specified net lease peer group for the three-year performance period. Vesting of the performance units and shares following their issuance will occur ratably over a three-year period, with the initial vesting occurring immediately following the conclusion of the performance period such that all units and shares vest within five years of the original award date.

The grant date fair value of these awards is determined using a Monte Carlo simulation pricing model and compensation expense is amortized on an attribution method over a five-year period. Compensation expense related to performance units or shares is determined at the grant date and is not adjusted throughout the measurement or vesting periods.

The Monte Carlo simulation pricing model for issued grants utilizes the following assumptions: (i) expected term (equal to the remaining performance measurement period at the grant date), (ii) volatility (based on historical volatility), and (iii) risk-free rate (interpolated based on 2- and 3-year rates). The Company used 0% for the forfeiture rate for determining the fair value of performance shares. During the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 the following assumptions were used:


Nine Months Ended September 30,	2021		2020		2019
Expected term (years)	2.9		2.9		2.9
Volatility	33.9	%	18.4	%	19.7	%
Risk-free rate	0.2	%	1.3	%	2.5	%

The Company recognized expense related to performance units and shares for which the three-year performance period has not yet been completed of $0.1 million and $0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively and $0.8 million and $1.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020. As of September 30, 2021, there was $3.5 million of total unrecognized compensation costs related to performance units and shares for which the three-year performance period has not yet been completed, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 3.5 years.

The Company recognized ($0.1) million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and $0.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 of compensation expense related to performance units and shares for which the three-year performance period was completed. As of September 30, 2021, there was $0.2 million of total unrecognized compensation costs related to performance units and shares for which the three-year performance period has been completed, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.4 years.

Currently, one of the most significant factors, however, is the adverse effect of the current pandemic of the novel coronavirus, or COVID-19, on the financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and performance of the Company and its tenants, the real estate market and the global economy and financial markets. The extent to which COVID-19 impacts the Company and its tenants will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the scope, severity and duration of the pandemic, the actions taken to contain the pandemic or mitigate its impact, and the direct and indirect economic effects of the pandemic and containment measures, among others. Moreover, you should interpret many of the risks identified in this report, as well as the risks set forth below, as being heightened as a result of the ongoing and numerous adverse impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Additional factors which may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include, but are not limited to: the factors included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, including those set forth under the headings “Business,” “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”; global and national economic conditions and changes in general economic, financial and real estate market conditions; the financial failure of, or other default in payment by, tenants under their leases and the potential resulting vacancies; the Company’s concentration with certain tenants and in certain markets, which may make the Company more susceptible to adverse events; changes in ~~our~~the Company’s business strategy; risks that ~~our~~the Company’s acquisition and development projects will fail to perform as expected; adverse changes and disruption in the retail sector and the financing stability of the Company’s tenants, which could impact tenants’ ability to pay rent and expense reimbursement; the Company’s ability to pay dividends; risks relating to information technology and cybersecurity attacks, loss of confidential information and other related business disruptions; loss of key management personnel; the potential need to fund improvements or other capital expenditures out of operating cash flow; financing risks, such as the inability to obtain debt or equity financing on favorable terms or at all; the level and volatility of interest rates; ~~our~~the Company’s ability to renew or re-lease space as leases expire; limitations in the Company’s tenants’ leases on real estate tax, insurance and operating cost reimbursement obligations; loss or bankruptcy of one or more of the Company’s major tenants, and bankruptcy laws that may limit the Company’s remedies if a tenant becomes bankrupt and rejects its leases; potential liability for environmental contamination, which could result in substantial costs; the Company’s level of indebtedness, which could reduce funds available for other business purposes and reduce the Company’s operational flexibility; covenants in the Company’s credit agreements and unsecured notes, which could limit our ~~major tenants;~~flexibility and adversely affect our financial condition; credit market developments that may reduce availability under our revolving credit facility; an increase in market interest rates which could raise the Company’s interest costs on existing and future debt; a ~~failure~~decrease in interest rates, which may lead to additional competition for the acquisition of ~~our properties to generate additional income to offset increases in operating expenses; our ability to maintain our qualification as a~~ real estate ~~investment trust (“REIT”) for federal income tax purposes and~~or adversely affect the ~~limitations imposed on our business by our status as a REIT; and~~Company’s results of operations; the Company’s hedging strategies, which may not be successful in mitigating the Company’s risks associated with interest rates; legislative or regulatory changes, including changes to laws governing ~~REITs.

Overview

The Company is a fully integrated REIT primarily focused on the ownership, acquisition, development and management of retail properties net leased to industry leading tenants. The Company was founded in 1971 by its current Executive Chairman, Richard Agree, and its common stock was listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) in 1994. The Company’s assets are held by, and all of its operations are conducted through, directly or indirectly, ~~Agree Limited~~the Operating Partnership, ~~(the “Operating Partnership”),~~ of which the Company is the sole general partner. Refer to Note 1- Organization in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q for further information on the ownership structure. Under the partnership agreement of the Operating Partnership, the Company, as the sole general partner, has exclusive responsibility and discretion in ~~which it held a 98.8% interest as~~the management and control of ~~September 30, 2017.~~

the Operating Partnership. As of September 30, ~~2017,~~2021, the Company’s portfolio consisted of ~~425~~1,338 properties located in 4347 states and totaling approximately ~~8.3~~27.7 million square feet of gross leasable ~~area.~~ area (“GLA”).

As of September 30, ~~2017,~~2021, the Company’s portfolio was approximately ~~99.7%~~99.6% leased and had a weighted average remaining lease term of approximately ~~10.5~~9.5 years. A significant majority of our properties are leased to national tenants and approximately 66.9% of our annualized base rent was derived from tenants, or parent entities thereof, with an investment grade credit rating from S&P Global Ratings, Moody’s Investors Service, Fitch Ratings or the National Association of Insurance Commissioners. Substantially all of ~~the Company’s~~our tenants are subject to net lease agreements. A net lease typically requires the tenant to be responsible for minimum monthly rent and property operating expenses including property taxes, insurance and maintenance.

~~Third Quarter 2017 Highlights~~We elected to be taxed as a REIT for federal income tax purposes commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 1994. We believe that we have been organized and have operated in a manner that has allowed us to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes and we intend to continue operating in such a manner.

COVID-19

We continue to closely monitor the impact of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic on all aspects of our business and geographies, including how it is impacting our tenants and business partners. Although the duration and severity of this pandemic are still uncertain, there is reason to believe that the success of vaccination efforts in the U.S. is leading to a decline in COVID-19 cases and having a positive impact on businesses, as federal, state and local restrictions are lifted and individuals begin returning to pre-pandemic activities. However, we are still unable to predict the full impact that the COVID-19 pandemic will ultimately have on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows due to numerous uncertainties. These uncertainties include the scope, severity and duration of the pandemic, the actions taken to contain the pandemic or mitigate its impact and the direct and indirect economic effects of the pandemic and containment measures, among others. The outbreak of COVID-19 in many countries, including the United States, has significantly adversely impacted global economic activity and has contributed to significant volatility and negative pressure in financial markets. The global impact of the outbreak continues to rapidly evolve and, many countries, including the United States, have reacted by instituting quarantines, mandating business and school closures and restricting travel. Many states and cities, including where we own properties, have development sites and where our principal place of business is located, have also reacted by instituting quarantines, restrictions on travel, “shelter in place” rules, restrictions on types of business that may continue to operate, and/or restrictions on the types of construction projects that may continue. Although many of these jurisdictions have lifted some of these restrictions, the Company cannot predict whether and to what extent the restrictions will be reinstated, whether additional states and cities will implement similar restrictions or when restrictions currently in place will expire. As a result, the COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted almost every industry directly or indirectly, including industries in which the Company and our tenants operate. Further, the impacts of a potential worsening of global economic conditions and the continued disruptions to, and volatility in, the credit and financial markets, consumer spending as well as other unanticipated consequences remain unknown.

Table of Contents

We cannot predict the impact that COVID-19 will have on our tenants and other business partners; however, any material effect on these parties could adversely impact us.

Refer to Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Rent Concessions – COVID-19 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements within this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q regarding the Company’s accounting policies for rent concessions. Pursuant to the Company’s accounting elections, rental revenue continued to be recognized for tenants subject to deferral agreements, as long as such agreements did not result in a substantial increase in our rights as the lessor. Rent deferrals did not have a material impact on revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2021.

The continuing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our rental revenue for the remainder of 2021 and thereafter still cannot be fully determined at present. The situation surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic remains fluid, and we continue to actively manage our response in collaboration with tenants, government officials and business partners and to assess potential impacts to our financial position and operating results, as well as potential adverse developments in our business. For further information regarding the impact of COVID-19 on the Company, see Part I, Item 1A titled “Risk Factors” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Results of Operations

Overall

The Company’s real estate investment portfolio grew from approximately $3.0 billion in gross investment amount representing 1,027 properties with 21.0 million square feet of GLA as of September 30, 2020 to approximately $4.1 billion in gross investment amount representing 1,338 properties with 27.7 million square feet of GLA at September 30, 2021. The Company’s real estate investments were made throughout and between the periods presented and were not all outstanding for the entire period; accordingly, a portion of the increase in rental income between periods is related to recognizing revenue in 2021 on acquisitions that were made during 2020. Similarly, the full rental income impact of acquisitions made during 2021 to-date will not be seen until the remainder of 2021 and 2022.

Acquisitions

During the three months ended September 30, ~~2017,~~2021, the Company acquired 1480 retail net lease assets for approximately ~~$55.1~~$340.6 million, which includes acquisition and closing costs. These properties are located in 1228 states and are ~~100%~~ leased to 1249 different tenants operating in 920 diverse retail sectors for a weighted average lease term of approximately ~~11.2~~10.7 years. The underwritten ~~weighted average~~weighted-average capitalization rate on the Company’s third quarter ~~2017~~2021 acquisitions was approximately ~~7.4%~~6.2%.¹

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company acquired 219 retail net lease assets for approximately $1,075.1 million, which includes acquisition and closing costs. These properties are located in 40 states and are leased to 86 different tenants operating in 26 diverse retail sectors for a weighted average lease term of approximately 11.9 years. The underwritten weighted-average capitalization rate on the Company’s first nine month of 2021 acquisitions was approximately 6.2%.¹

Dispositions

During the three months ended September 30, 2021, the Company sold three properties for net proceeds of $11.5 million and recorded a net gain of $3.5 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company sold 13 properties for net proceeds of $46.8 million and recorded a net gain of $13.2 million.

¹When used within this discussion, “weighted-average capitalization rate” for acquisitions and dispositions is defined by the Company as the sum of contractual fixed annual rents computed on a straight-line basis over the primary lease terms and anticipated annual net tenant recoveries, divided by the purchase and sales prices.

Comparison of Three Months Ended September 30, 2021 to Three Months Ended September 30, 2020


	Three Months Ended				Variance
	September 30, 2021		September 30, 2020		(in dollars)		(percentage)
Rental Income	$	87,469	$	63,701	$	23,768	37	%
Real Estate Tax Expense	$	6,957	$	5,516	$	1,441	26	%
Property Operating Expense	$	3,189	$	2,108	$	1,081	51	%
Depreciation and Amortization Expense	$	24,488	$	17,327	$	7,161	41	%

The variances in rental income, real estate tax expense, property operating expense and depreciation and amortization expense shown above were due to the acquisitions and ownership of an increased number of properties during the three months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2020, as further described under Results of Operations - Overall above.

General and administrative expenses increased $0.9 million, or 20%, to $5.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $4.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The increase was primarily the result of increased employee headcount and increased compensation costs, partially offset by reversals of previously recognized compensation expense upon the departure of certain executive officers during the third quarter of 2021. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenue decreased to 6.5% in the third quarter of 2021 from 7.5% in the third quarter of 2020.

Interest expense increased $2.9 million, or 29%, to $13.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $10.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The increase in interest expense was primarily a result of higher levels of borrowings in the third quarter of 2021 in comparison to the third quarter of 2020, partially offset by a reduction in interest rates on certain debt. Borrowings increased in order to finance the acquisition and development of additional properties.

Gain on sale of assets increased $2.5 million, or 258%, to $3.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $1.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020. Gains on sales of assets are dependent on levels of disposition activity and the assets’ bases relative to their sales prices. As a result, such gains are not necessarily comparable period-to-period.

Income tax expense increased $0.1 million, or 27%, to $0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 compared to $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The increase in income tax expense was primarily due to the acquisition and the ownership of additional properties during the three months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2020.

Net income increased $15.4 million, or 72%, to $36.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $21.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The change was the result of the items discussed above. After allocation of income to preferred stockholders, net income attributable to common stockholders increased $15.1 million, or 71% to $36.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $21.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The allocation of income to the preferred stockholders began upon the September 2021 issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock – see Liquidity and Capital Resources - Equity below.

Interest expense increased $9.0 million, or 32%, to $37.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $28.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The increase in interest expense was primarily a result of higher levels of borrowings in the first nine months of 2021 in comparison to the first nine months of 2020, partially offset by a reduction in interest rates on certain debt.

Gain on sale of assets increased $5.6 million, or 74%, to $13.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $7.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Additionally, the Company recognized additional income tax expense of $0.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 relating to 2020 operations upon filing of annual tax returns in 2021.

In May 2021, the Company used the net proceeds from the offering of the 2028 Senior Unsecured Public Notes and the 2033 Senior Unsecured Public Notes (see Liquidity and Capital Resources – Debt - Senior Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility and Unsecured Term Loans below) to repay all amounts outstanding under its unsecured term loans and settle the related swap agreements. The Company incurred a charge of $14.6 million upon this repayment and settlement, including swap termination costs of $13.4 million and the write-off of previously unamortized debt issuance costs of $1.2 million.

Net income increased $21.4 million, or 31%, to $89.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $68.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company’s principal demands for funds include payment of operating expenses, payment of principal and interest on its outstanding indebtedness, dividends and distributions to our stockholders and holders of the units of the Operating Partnership (the “Operating Partnership Common Units”), and future property acquisitions and development.

The Company expects to meet its short-term liquidity requirements through cash provided from operations and borrowings under its revolving credit facility. As of September 30, 2021, available cash and cash equivalents, including cash held in escrow, was $102.8 million. As of September 30, 2021, the Company did not have an outstanding balance on its revolving credit facility and $500.0 million was available for future borrowings, subject to its compliance with covenants. The Company anticipates funding its long-term capital needs through cash provided from operations, borrowings under its revolving credit facility, the issuance of debt and common or preferred equity or other instruments convertible into or exchangeable for common or preferred equity.

We continually evaluate alternative financing and believe that we can obtain financing on reasonable terms. However, there can be no assurance that additional financing or capital will be available, or that the terms will be acceptable or advantageous to us. Our ability to access capital on favorable terms as well as to use cash from operations to continue to meet our liquidity needs, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, could be affected by various risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and other risks detailed in Part I, Item 1A titled “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 and in the other reports the Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC’). Additionally, refer to COVID-19 earlier in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis.

The full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our rental revenue and, as a result, future cash from operations cannot be determined at present.

Capitalization

As of September 30, 2021, the Company’s total enterprise value was approximately $6.3 billion. Total enterprise value consisted of $4.6 billion of common equity (based on the September 30, 2021 closing price of Company’s common stock on the NYSE of $66.23 per common share and assuming the conversion of Operating Partnership Common Units), $175.0 million of preferred equity (stated at liquidation value) and $1.5 billion of total debt including (i) no borrowings under its revolving credit facility; (ii) $1.5 billion of senior unsecured notes; (iii) $32.8 million of mortgage notes payable, less (iv) cash, cash equivalents and cash held in escrow of $102.8 million. The Company’s total debt to enterprise value was 24.6% at September 30, 2021.

At September 30, 2021, the non-controlling interest in the Operating Partnership consisted of a 0.5% ownership interest in the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership Common Units may, under certain circumstances, be exchanged for shares of Company common stock on a one-for-one basis. The Company, as sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, has the option to settle exchanged Operating Partnership Common Units held by others for cash based on the current trading price of our shares. Assuming the exchange of all Operating Partnership Common Units, there would have been 70,127,367 shares of common stock outstanding at September 30, 2021.

Equity

Shelf Registration

The Company may periodically offer one or more of these securities in amounts, prices and on terms to be announced when and if these securities are offered. The specifics of any future offerings, along with the use of proceeds of any securities offered, will be described in detail in a prospectus supplement, or other offering materials, at the time of any offering.

Preferred Stock Offering

In September 2021, the Company completed an underwritten public offering of depositary shares (the “Depositary Shares”), each representing 1/1,000th of a share of Series A Preferred Stock, which resulted in net proceeds to the Company of approximately $170.3 million, after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and costs payable by the Company.

Subsequent dividends on the Series A Preferred Shares will be in amount of $0.08854 per Depositary Share, equivalent to $1.0625 per annum.

The Company may not redeem the Series A Preferred Shares before September, 2026 except in limited circumstances to preserve its status as a real estate investment trust for federal income tax purposes and except in certain circumstances upon the occurrence of a change of control of the Company. Beginning in September, 2026, the Company, at its option, may redeem the Series A Preferred Shares, in whole or from time to time in part, by paying $25.00 per Depositary Share, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends.

Senior Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility

In December 2019, the Company entered into a Second Amended and Restated Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement provides for a $500.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility that matures on January 15, 2024 (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). It also provided for a $65 million unsecured term loan facility and a $35 million unsecured term loan facility. All amounts outstanding under these unsecured term loan facilities were repaid in May 2021 (see Unsecured Term Loan Facilities below) and cannot be reborrowed against. Subject to certain terms and conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement, the Company (i) may request additional lender commitments under any or all facilities of up to an additional aggregate amount of $500.0 million and (ii) may elect, for an additional fee, to extend the maturity date of the Revolving Credit Facility by six months up to two times, for a maximum maturity date of January 15, 2025. No amortization payments are required under the Credit Agreement, and interest is payable in arrears no less frequently than quarterly.

All borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility (except swing line loans) bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the option of the Company, (i) LIBOR plus a margin that is based upon the Company’s credit rating, or (ii) the Base Rate (which is defined as the greater of the rate of interest as publicly announced from time to time by PNC Bank, National Association, as its prime rate, the Federal Funds Open Rate plus 0.50%, or the Daily Eurodollar Rate plus 1.0%) plus a margin that is based upon the Company’s credit rating. The margins for the Revolving Credit Facility range in amount from 0.775% to 1.450% for LIBOR-based loans and 0.00% to 0.45% for Base Rate loans, depending on the Company’s credit rating. The margins for the Revolving Credit Facility are subject to improvement based on the Company’s leverage ratio, provided its credit rating meets a certain threshold.

The Company and Richard Agree, the Executive Chairman of the Company, are parties to a Reimbursement Agreement dated November 18, 2014 (the “Reimbursement Agreement”). Pursuant to the Reimbursement Agreement, Mr. Agree has agreed to reimburse the Company for any loss incurred under the Revolving Credit Facility in an amount not to exceed $14.0 million to the extent that the value of the Operating Partnership’s assets available to satisfy the Operating Partnership’s obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility is less than $14.0 million.

Unsecured Term Loan Facilities

In May 2021, the Company used the net proceeds from the offering of the 2028 Senior Unsecured Public Notes and the 2033 Senior Unsecured Public Notes (see Senior Unsecured Notes below) to repay all amounts outstanding under its unsecured term loans and settle the related swap agreements. The Company incurred a charge of $14.6 million upon this repayment and settlement, including swap termination costs of $13.4 million and the write-off of previously unamortized debt issuance costs of $1.2 million.

Senior Unsecured Notes

In May 2015, the Company and the Operating Partnership completed a private placement of $100.0 million principal amount of senior unsecured notes. The senior unsecured notes were sold in two series; $50.0 million of 4.16% notes due May 2025 (the “2025 Senior Unsecured Notes”) and $50.0 million of 4.26% notes due May 2027 (the “2027 Senior Unsecured Notes”).

Pursuant to the supplements, the Operating Partnership completed a private placement of $125.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 4.32% senior unsecured notes due September 2030 (the “2030 Senior Unsecured Notes”).

In October 2019, the Company and the Operating Partnership closed on a private placement of $125.0 million of 4.47% senior unsecured notes due October 2031. In March 2019, the Company entered into forward-starting interest rate swap agreements to fix the interest for $100.0 million of long-term debt until maturity. The Company terminated the swap agreements at the time of pricing the 2031 Senior Unsecured Notes, which resulted in an effective annual fixed rate of 4.41% for $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2031 Senior Unsecured Notes. Considering the effect of the terminated swap agreements, the blended all-in rate to the Company for the $125.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2031 Senior Unsecured Notes is 4.42%.

All of the senior unsecured notes described in the preceding paragraphs were sold to only institutional investors in private placements pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

In August 2020, the Operating Partnership completed an underwritten public offering of $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2.900% Notes due 2030 (the “2030 Senior Unsecured Public Notes”). The 2030 Senior Unsecured Public Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Agree Realty Corporation and certain wholly owned subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership. The terms of the 2030 Senior Unsecured Public Notes are governed by an indenture, dated August 17, 2020, among the Operating Partnership, the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (as amended and supplemented by an officer’s certificate dated August 17, 2020, the “Indenture”). The Indenture contains various restrictive covenants, including limitations on the ability of the guarantors and the issuer to incur additional indebtedness and requirements to maintain a pool of unencumbered assets. The Company terminated related swap agreements of $200.0 million that hedged the 2030 Senior Unsecured Public Notes. Considering the effect of the terminated swap agreements, the blended all-in rate to the Company for the $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2030 Senior Unsecured Notes is 3.50%.

In May 2021, the Operating Partnership completed an underwritten public offering of $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 2.000% Notes due 2028 (the “2028 Senior Unsecured Public Notes”) and $300.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 2.600% Notes due 2033 (the “2033 Senior Unsecured Public Notes”). The 2028 Senior Unsecured Public Notes and the 2033 Senior Unsecured Public Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Company and certain wholly owned subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership. The terms of the 2028 Senior Unsecured Public Notes and the 2033 Senior Unsecured Public Notes are governed by an indenture, dated August 17, 2020, among the Operating Partnership, the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (as amended and supplemented by an officer’s certificate dated May 14, 2021, the “Indenture”).

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Refer to Note 2 ~~to the September 30, 2017 Interim Consolidated Financial Statements.~~– Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in ~~conformity~~accordance with ~~U.S.~~accounting principles generally accepted ~~accounting principles~~in the United States (“GAAP”) requires the Company’s management to use judgment in the application of accounting policies, including making estimates and assumptions. Management bases estimates on the best information available at the time, its experience, and on various other assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. If management’s judgment or interpretation of the facts and circumstances relating to various transactions or other matters had been different, it is possible that different accounting principles would have been applied, resulting in a different presentation of the interim ~~consolidated financial statements.~~Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. From time to time, the Company may re-evaluate its estimates and assumptions. In the event estimates or assumptions prove to be different from actual results, adjustments are made in subsequent periods to reflect more current estimates and assumptions about matters that are inherently uncertain. A summary of the Company’s critical accounting policies is included in ~~our~~ its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, ~~2016.~~2020. The Company has not made any material changes to these policies during the periods covered by this ~~quarterly report.~~Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

~~Results of Operations~~

~~Comparison of Three Months Ended September 30, 2017 to Three Months Ended September 30, 2016~~

Total rental income increased $5.0 million, or 23%, to $27.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017, compared to $22.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The increase was attributable to the acquisition and development of additional net lease properties, which was partially offset by a small reduction in minimum rental income related to properties that were sold and other minimum rental income adjustments.

~~Percentage rents remained consistent with prior periods.~~

Operating cost reimbursements increased $1.0 million, or 51%, to $2.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017, compared to $1.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016. Operating cost reimbursements increased primarily due to higher levels of recoverable property operating expenses, including real estate taxes and increased property count. The portfolio recovery rate decreased to 91% for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to 112% for the three months ended September 30, 2016 due to reconciliations of property operating expenses and reimbursements.

~~Other income increased $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017, compared to $0 for the three months ended September 30, 2016.~~

Real estate taxes increased $0.6 million, or 46%, to $2.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017, compared to $1.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016.

Property operating expenses increased $0.7 million, or 451%, to $0.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017, compared to $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016.

In addition, the $100.0 million senior unsecured notes issued in September 2017 further increased the third-quarter 2017 interest expense.

~~Gains on the sale of assets decreased $3.9 million, to $0.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017, compared to $4.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016.~~

~~Liquidity and Capital Resources~~

The Company’s principal demands for funds include payment of operating expenses, payment of principal and interest on its outstanding indebtedness, distributions to its shareholders and future property acquisitions and development.

We expect to meet our short term liquidity requirements through cash provided from operations and borrowings under our senior unsecured revolving credit facility. As of September 30, 2017, there was a $0 balance on our senior unsecured revolving credit facility and a full availability of $250.0 million was available for future borrowings, subject to our compliance with covenants. We anticipate funding our long term capital needs through cash provided from operations, borrowings under our revolving credit facility, the issuance of debt and the issuance of common or preferred equity or other instruments convertible into or exchangeable for common or preferred equity.

On August 3, 2017, the Company entered into an uncommitted and unsecured $100 million private placement shelf agreement (the “AIG Shelf Agreement”) with AIG Asset Management (U.S.), LLC (“AIG”) and each AIG Affiliate named therein. The AIG Shelf Agreement allows us to issue senior unsecured notes to AIG at terms to be agreed upon at the time of any issuance during a three year issuance period ending in August 2020. As of September 30, 2017, no notes had been issued under the AIG Shelf Agreement.

The OP Units may, under certain circumstances, be exchanged for shares of common stock on a one-for-one basis. The Company, as sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, has the option to settle exchanged OP Units held by others for cash based on the current trading price of its shares. Assuming the exchange of all OP Units, there would have been 29,563,454 shares of common stock outstanding at September 30, 2017.

~~Unsecured Term Loan Facilities~~

The amended and restated credit agreement described below extended the maturity dates of the $65.0 million unsecured term loan facility and $35.0 million unsecured term loan facility (together, the “2024 Term Loan Facilities”) to January 2024. In connection with entering into the amended and restated credit agreement, the prior notes evidencing the existing $65.0 million unsecured term loan facility and $35.0 million unsecured term loan facility were canceled and new notes evidencing the 2024 Term Loan Facilities were executed. Borrowings under the unsecured term loan facility bear interest at a variable LIBOR plus 1.65% to 2.35%, depending on our leverage ratio. We utilized existing interest rate swaps to effectively fix the LIBOR rate (refer to Note 7 - Derivative and Hedging Activities).

In July 2016, the Company completed a $40.0 million unsecured term loan facility that matures in July 2023. Borrowings under the unsecured term loan facility are priced at LIBOR plus 165 to 225 basis points, depending on our leverage. We entered into an interest rate swap to fix LIBOR at 1.40% until maturity. As of September 30, 2017, $40.0 million was outstanding under the unsecured term loan facility, which is subject to an all-in interest rate of 3.05%.

In August 2016, the Company entered into a $20.3 million unsecured amortizing term loan that matures in May 2019. Borrowings under the unsecured amortizing term loan are priced at LIBOR plus 170 basis points. In order to fix LIBOR on the unsecured amortizing term loan at 1.92% until maturity, we have an interest rate swap agreement in place, which was assigned by the lender under the prior secured facility to the lender under the unsecured amortizing term loan. As of September 30, 2017, $19.5 million was outstanding under the unsecured amortizing term loan bearing an all-in interest rate of 3.62%.

~~Senior Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility~~

In December 2016, the Company amended and restated the credit agreement that governs our senior unsecured revolving credit facility and unsecured term loan facility to increase the aggregate borrowing capacity to $350.0 million. The agreement provides for a $250.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility, a $65.0 million unsecured term loan facility and a $35.0 million unsecured term loan facility. The unsecured revolving credit facility matures in January 2021 with options to extend the maturity date to January 2022. The unsecured term loan facilities mature in January 2024. We have the ability to increase the aggregate borrowing capacity under the credit agreement up to $500.0 million, subject to lender approval. Borrowings under the revolving credit facility bear interest at LIBOR plus 1.30% to 1.95%, depending on our leverage ratio. Additionally, we are required to pay an unused commitment fee at an annual rate of 0.15% or 0.25% of the unused portion of the revolving credit facility, depending on the amount of borrowings outstanding. The credit agreement contains certain financial covenants, including a maximum leverage ratio, a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio and a maximum percentage of secured debt to total asset value.

~~Mortgage Notes Payable~~

As of September 30, 2017, the Company had total mortgage indebtedness of $68.2 million, with a weighted average term to maturity of 3.7 years. Including our mortgages that have been swapped to a fixed interest rate, our weighted average interest rate on mortgage debt was 3.9%.

~~Dividends~~

~~During the quarter ended September 30, 2017, we declared a quarterly dividend of $0.505 per share. The cash dividend was paid on October 13, 2017 to holders of record on September 30, 2017.~~

~~Inflation~~

The Company’s leases typically contain provisions to mitigate the adverse impact of inflation on its results of operations. Tenant leases generally provide for limited increases in rent as a result of fixed increases or increases in the consumer price index. Certain Company’s leases contain clauses enabling it to receive percentage rents based on tenants’ gross sales, which generally increase as prices rise. During times when inflation is greater than increases in rent, rent increases will not keep up with the rate of inflation.

Substantially all of the Company’s properties are leased to tenants under long-term net leases, which require the tenant to pay certain operating expenses for a property, thereby reducing the Company’s exposure to operating cost increases resulting from inflation. Inflation may have an adverse impact on the Company’s tenants.

~~Funds from Operations~~

Funds from Operations (“FFO” or “Nareit FFO”)

FFO is defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, Inc. (“~~NAREIT”~~Nareit”) to mean net income computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains (or losses) from sales of ~~property,~~real estate assets and/or changes in control, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization and any impairment charges on a depreciable real estate ~~asset,~~assets, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Management uses FFO as a supplemental measure to conduct and evaluate the Company business because there are certain limitations associated with using GAAP net income by itself as the primary measure of the Company’s operating performance. 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, ~~management believes that the presentation of operating results for~~most real estate ~~companies that use historical cost accounting is insufficient by itself.~~

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~~ Nareit

Table of Contents

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.

~~Adjusted~~Core Funds from Operations (“Core FFO”)

The Company defines Core FFO as Nareit FFO with the addback of (i) noncash amortization of above- and below- market lease intangibles and (ii) certain infrequently occurring items that reduce or increase net income in accordance with GAAP. Under Nareit’s definition of FFO, lease intangibles created upon acquisition of a net lease must be amortized over the remaining term of the lease. The Company believes that by recognizing amortization charges for above- and below-market lease intangibles, the utility of FFO as a financial performance measure can be diminished. 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,~~performance; however, AFFO should not be considered an alternative to net income as an indication of ~~the Company’s~~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. ~~Note that, during the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company adjusted its calculation~~

Table of AFFO to exclude non-recurring capitalized building improvements and to include non-real estate related depreciation and amortization. Management believes that these changes provide a more useful measure of operating performance in the context of AFFO.Contents

ITEM 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

~~Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk~~

~~We are~~

The Company is exposed to interest rate risk primarily through borrowing activities. There is inherent roll-over risk for borrowings as they mature and are renewed at current market rates. The extent of this risk is not quantifiable or predictable because of the variability of future interest rates and ~~our~~the Company’s future financing requirements.

~~Our~~The Company’s interest rate risk is monitored using a variety of techniques. The table below presents the principal payments and the weighted average interest rates on outstanding debt, by year of expected maturity, to evaluate the expected cash flows and sensitivity to interest rate changes. Average interest rates shown reflect the impact of the swap agreements described later in this section.

The table above incorporates those exposures that exist as of September 30, ~~2017;~~2021; it does not consider those exposures or positions which could arise after that date. As a result, ~~our~~the Company’s ultimate realized gain or loss with respect to interest rate fluctuations will depend on the exposures that arise during the period and interest rates.

~~We seek~~The Company seeks to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower the overall borrowing costs by closely monitoring ~~our~~its variable rate debt and converting such debt to fixed rates when we deem such conversion advantageous. From time to time, wethe Company may enter into interest rate swap agreements or other interest rate hedging contracts. While these agreements are intended to lessen the impact of rising interest rates, they also expose us to the risks that the other parties to the agreements will not perform. WeThe Company could incur significant costs associated with the settlement of the agreements, the agreements will be unenforceable and the underlying transactions will fail to qualify as ~~highly-effective~~highly effective cash flow hedges under GAAP guidance.

In ~~April 2012,~~May 2021 and July 2021, the Company entered into ~~an amortizing~~ forward-starting interest rate swap agreement to hedge against changes in future cash flows resulting from changes in interest rates on $22.3 million in variable-rate borrowings. Under the terms of the interest rate swap agreement, the Company receives from the counterparty interest on the notional amount based on 1 month LIBOR and pays to the counterparty a fixed rate of 1.92%. This swap effectively converted $22.3 million of variable-rate borrowings to fixed-rate borrowings from July 1, 2013 to May 1, 2019. As of September 30, 2017, this interest rate swap was valued as a liability of approximately $0.1 million.

~~In December 2012, the Company entered into~~ interest rate swap agreements to hedge against changes in future cash flows resulting from changes in interest rates ~~on $25.0 million in variable-rate borrowings. Under the terms of the interest rate swap agreement, the Company receives~~ from the ~~counterparty interest on~~trade date through the ~~notional amount based on 1 month LIBOR and pays~~forecasted issuance date of $300.0 million of long-term debt.

As of September 30, ~~2017, this~~2021, these interest rate ~~swap was valued as an asset of approximately $0.1 million.~~

In September 2013, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement to hedge against changes in future cash flows resulting from changes in interest rates on $35.0 million in variable-rate borrowings. Under the terms of the interest rate swap agreement, the Company receives from the counterparty interest on the notional amount based on 1 month LIBOR and pays to the counterparty a fixed rate of 2.20%.
