Agree Realty reported strong portfolio-driven top-line and earnings growth for the quarter: rental income rose 19% year-over-year to $200,676,000 and net income increased 32% to $62,231,000. Funds from operations also expanded to $125,579,000 (FFO per diluted $1.04) while liquidity remained ample at over $2.28 billion, though interest expense and total debt increased following a $250.0 million draw on the 2031 Unsecured Term Loan and higher commercial paper outstanding.
The parts that mattered.

And the other side of it.
The offsets in the same document — the things a summary that only listed the good news would have left out.
- Rising interest expense
- Interest expense, net increased $5.2 million (17%) to $36,000,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 (from $30,800,000 in the prior-year period), driven by higher borrowings and the May 2025 $400.0 million 2035 Senior Unsecured Public Notes.
- Higher absolute debt outstanding
- Total principal amount outstanding increased to $3,722,262,000 as of March 31, 2026 (from $3,323,378,000 at December 31, 2025), including $469,650,000 of Commercial Paper Notes outstanding at March 31, 2026.
- Low cash on hand relative to liabilities
- Cash and cash equivalents (including cash held in escrow) were $31,200,000 as of March 31, 2026 while short-term obligations include $469,650,000 of Commercial Paper Notes and near-term principal/interest commitments.
- Reliance on unsettled forward equity
- Liquidity includes $1.37 billion of unsettled forward equity as of March 31, 2026; the Company has not settled the April 2025 follow-on offering (5,175,000 shares) and anticipates net proceeds of approximately $384.5 million upon settlement, creating execution / market risk.
- Commercial paper roll-over and interest-rate exposure
- Commercial Paper Notes outstanding were $469,650,000 (weighted-average maturity < one month) and the Company states a hypothetical 100-basis-point move would change annual interest expense by $4.7 million, highlighting roll-over risk.
- Material capex / development commitments
- The Company reported 15 development or DFP projects completed or under construction with anticipated total costs of approximately $112,000,000, which will require funding from operations or capital markets.
