SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This quarterly report on Form 10-Q (the "Form 10-Q") contains forward-looking statements, which relate to future events or the future performance or financial condition of Fortress Net Lease REIT (the "Company," "we," "us," or "our"). We intend such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). Some of the statements in this Form 10-Q constitute forward-looking statements because they relate to future events or our future performance or financial condition. The forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q may include statements as to:
•our future operating results;
•our business prospects and the prospects of the assets in which we may invest;
•the impact of the investments that we expect to make;
•our ability to raise sufficient capital to execute our investment strategy;
•our ability to source adequate investment opportunities to efficiently deploy capital;
•our current and expected financing arrangements and investments;
•the effect of global and national economic and market conditions generally upon our operating results, including, but not limited to, changes with respect to inflation, interest rate changes and supply chain disruptions, and changes in government rules, regulations and fiscal policies;
•the adequacy of our cash resources, financing sources and working capital;
•the timing and amount of cash flows, distributions and dividends, if any, from our investments;
•our contractual arrangements and relationships with third parties;
•actual and potential conflicts of interest with FNLR Management LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the "Adviser"), or any of its affiliates;
•the dependence of our future success on the general economy and its effect on the assets in which we may invest;
•our use of financial leverage;
•the ability of the Adviser to locate suitable investments for us and to monitor and administer our investments;
•the ability of the Adviser or its affiliates to attract and retain highly talented professionals;
•our ability to structure investments in a tax-efficient manner and the effect of changes to tax legislation and our tax position; and
•our tax status and the tax status and attributes of entities and assets in which we may invest.
i
In addition, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "may," "will," "should," "expect," "anticipate," "target," "project," "estimate," "intend," "continue" or "believe" or the negatives thereof or other variations thereon or comparable terminology, although not all forward-looking statements include these words. The forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those implied or expressed in the forward-looking statements for any reason, including the factors set forth in "Item 1A. Risk Factors," "Item 2. Financial Information-Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and elsewhere in our Registration Statement on Form 10 initially filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on February 1, 2024 (as amended, the "Form 10"). Other factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially include:
•changes in the economy, particularly those affecting the real estate industry;
•risks associated with possible disruption in our operations or the economy generally due to terrorism, natural disasters, epidemics or other events having a broad impact on the economy;
•investing in commercial real estate assets involves certain risks, including but not limited to: tenants' inability to pay rent; increases in interest rates and lack of availability of financing; tenant turnover and vacancies; and changes in supply of or demand for similar properties in a given market;
•adverse conditions in the areas where our investments or the properties underlying such investments are and may be located and local real estate conditions;
•limitations on our business and our ability to satisfy requirements to maintain our exclusion from registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or to maintain our qualification as a real estate investment trust (a "REIT"), for U.S. federal income tax purposes;
•certain economic events may cause our shareholders to request that we repurchase their shares, and if we decide to satisfy any or all of such requests, our cash flow and our results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected. Further, our board of trustees may make exceptions to, modify or suspend our share repurchase plan (including to make exceptions to the repurchase limitations or purchase fewer shares than such repurchase limitations) if it deems such action to be in our best interest;
•distributions are not guaranteed and may be funded from sources other than cash flow from operations, including, without limitation, borrowings, offering proceeds (including from sales of our shares or units of our Operating Partnership (as defined below)), and the sale of our assets, and we have no limits on the amounts we may fund from such sources;
•the purchase and repurchase prices for our shares are generally based on our prior month's net asset value ("NAV") and are not based on any public trading market. The Adviser will value our properties monthly, based on current material market data and other information deemed relevant, subject to the review and confirmation for reasonableness by our independent valuation advisor. The valuation of properties is inherently subjective and our NAV may not accurately reflect the actual price at which our properties could be liquidated on any given day;
•future changes in laws or regulations and conditions in our operating areas;
•our limited opportunities to increase rents under long-term leases with tenants;
•our ability to raise additional funds to enable us to make additional investments and diversify the risk profile of our portfolio;
•our ability to capitalize on potential investment opportunities, or identify and purchase suitable properties on attractive terms;
•our ability to integrate newly acquired investments into our existing portfolio or otherwise effectively manage our assets or growth;
•our ability to accurately identify or adequately evaluate potential risks in volatile investing environments with limited market liquidity or price transparency;
•the impact of macroeconomic and/or microeconomic developments on our tenants and potential tenants;
i
•risks associated with the construction and renovation of our properties;
•our ability to adequately maintain properties in accordance with the terms of the applicable leases or agreements;
•the advent of any future epidemics, pandemics, or any other public health crises;
•risks associated with the termination or expiration of leases and tenant defaults, which may be further exacerbated in the case whereby a single tenant is the counterparty to more than a single property;
•risks associated with our use of single master leases and the enforceability of any such master leases under applicable law and/or in bankruptcy proceedings;
•risks associated with investing outside of the United States;
•the incurrence of contingent liabilities as a result of our investments, including our assumption of default risk or other third-party risks;
•our use of financing arrangements, including seller financing, secured and unsecured leveraged and other one-off financing solutions, could subject us to financial covenants and other covenants that could restrict our operations;
•our ability to forecast correlations between the value of our portfolio and the direction of exchange rates, interest rates and the price of securities in order to effectively or appropriately mitigate risks associated with our investments;
•risks associated with our hedging program, including our use of options and forward trading;
•our ability to accurately predict the pre-determined fixed repurchase price vis-à-vis the fair value of a property as of a future date;
•certain risks associated with limitations on our remedies under bankruptcy laws;
•our limited rights and liquidity associated with our investments in non-controlling equity positions and other real-estate related interests;
•system failures and cybersecurity breaches;
•substantial compliance costs that may be required to meet the constantly evolving legal and regulatory landscape for data protection and privacy;
•competition in our markets, which may prevent our ability to increase the occupancy and rental rates of our properties;
•potential misconduct and unauthorized conduct from third-party providers;
•substantial capital expenditures that may be required to comply with regulations and/or to obtain necessary permits and licenses to invest in certain properties;
•our ability to maintain our qualification as a REIT requires us to annually distribute at least 90% of our taxable income, and therefore, we may not be able to fund future capital needs, including financing for acquisitions, from our operating cash flow, and may need to rely on third-party sources for capital;
•our properties and properties underlying our investments may have design, construction or other defects or problems that require unforeseen capital expenditures, special repair or maintenance expenses, or the payment of damages to third parties, which may also affect their valuations;
•compliance with state and local laws, statutes, regulations and ordinances relating to pollution, the protection of the environment and human health and safety;
•our ability to obtain insurance for our properties at competitive market rates;
ii
•any limitations on our recourse under purchase and sale agreements to acquire properties;
•risks associated with joint ventures;
•risks associated with litigation or threatened litigation for damages that occur on, or liabilities derived from, the acquisition, ownership and disposition of our properties;
•risks associated with our relationship with Fortress Investment Group LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Fortress"), and the Adviser; and
•changes to United States federal income tax laws.
Although we believe that the assumptions on which these forward-looking statements are based are reasonable, any of those assumptions could prove to be inaccurate, and as a result, the forward-looking statements based on those assumptions could also be inaccurate. In light of these and other uncertainties, the inclusion of a forward-looking statement in this Form 10-Q should not be regarded as a representation by us that our plans and objectives will be achieved.
You should read this Form 10-Q and the documents that we reference herein and have filed as exhibits hereto with the understanding that our actual future results, levels of activity, performance and achievements may be materially different from what we expect. We qualify all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Form 10-Q. Except as required by applicable law, we do not plan to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q, whether as a result of any new information, future events or otherwise.
For more information regarding these and other risks and uncertainties that we face, see the section entitled "Item 1A. Risk Factors" in our Form 10 and any such updated factors included in our periodic filings with the SEC, which are accessible on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov. These factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read in conjunction with the other cautionary statements that are included in this document (or our other filings).

Fortress Net Lease REIT
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
|
(Unaudited)
|
1. Organization and Business Purpose
Fortress Net Lease REIT ("FNLR" or the "Company") was formed on January 24, 2023 (the "Date of Formation") as a Maryland statutory trust and intends to qualify as a real estate investment trust ("REIT") for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The Company was organized to invest primarily in single-tenant commercial real estate properties subject to long-term net leases with investment grade and other creditworthy tenants or guarantors located in the United States and, to a lesser extent, Canada, Europe or other jurisdictions as the Company sees fit. The Company, through FNLR GP LLC (a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company), is the sole general partner of FNLR OP LP, a Delaware limited partnership ("FNLR OP"), and FNLR SLP LLC (the "Special Limited Partner"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Fortress Investment Group LLC ("Fortress"), owns a special limited partner interest in FNLR OP. Substantially all of the Company's business is conducted through FNLR OP. The Company and FNLR OP are externally managed by FNLR Management LLC (the "Adviser"), an affiliate of Fortress.
The Company's principal business is the acquisition, ownership and leasing of single tenant properties subject to long-term net leases with creditworthy tenants or guarantors. The principal business and operations are not distinguished by geography or property type for purposes of measuring performance. Accordingly, the Company has only one reportable segment. As of September 30, 2024, the Company owned 20investments in real estate, of which four are subject to build-to-suit leases, and 16for which the Company executed triple net lease agreements to fully lease the properties. All acquisitions are industrial or retail properties located in the United States.
On May 1, 2023, the Company initiated the offering of its shares through a continuous private placement offering, under Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Company is authorized to issue an unlimited number of common shares of beneficial interests, par value $0.01 per share. The share classes have different upfront selling commissions, dealer manager fees and ongoing shareholder servicing fees. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had received aggregate proceeds of $652.1 million from the sales of shares of its common stock through this initial offering.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The Company believes the following significant accounting policies, among others, affect its more significant estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements.
Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Management believes it has made all necessary adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring items, so that the condensed consolidated financial statements are presented fairly and that estimates made in preparing its condensed consolidated financial statements are reasonable and prudent. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company's registration statement on Form 10 for the period from January 24, 2023 (Date of Formation) through December 31, 2023initially filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on February 1, 2024 (as amended, the "Form 10").
The Company consolidates all entities in which it has a controlling financial interest through majority ownership or voting rights and variable interest entities whereby the Company is the primary beneficiary. In determining whether the Company has a controlling financial interest in a partially owned entity and the requirement to consolidate the accounts of that entity, the Company considers whether the entity is a variable interest entity ("VIE") and whether it is the primary beneficiary. The Company is the primary beneficiary of a VIE when it has (i) the power to direct the most significant activities impacting the economic performance of the VIE and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits significant to the VIE.
FNLR OP is considered to be a VIE. The Company consolidates this entity because it has the ability to direct the most significant activities of the entity such as purchases, dispositions, financings, budgets and overall operating plans. The
11
Company meets the VIE disclosure exemption criteria, as the Company's interest in FNLR OP is considered a majority voting interest.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may ultimately differ materially from those estimates.
Investments in Real Estate
In accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, the Company determines whether the acquisition of a property qualifies as a business combination, which requires that the assets acquired and liabilities assumed constitute a business. If the property acquired does not constitute a business, the Company accounts for the transaction as an asset acquisition. The guidance for business combinations states that when substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets to be acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets, the asset or set of assets is not a business. All property acquisitions to date have been accounted for as asset acquisitions.
Whether the acquisition of a property acquired is considered a business combination or asset acquisition, the Company recognizes the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquired entity. In addition, for transactions that are business combinations, the Company evaluates the existence of goodwill or a gain from a bargain purchase. The Company capitalizes acquisition-related costs associated with asset acquisitions.
Upon acquisition of a property, the Company assesses the fair value of acquired tangible and intangible assets (including land, buildings, tenant improvements, "above-market" and "below-market" leases, acquired in-place leases, other identifiable intangible assets and assumed liabilities) and allocates the purchase price to the acquired assets and assumed liabilities on a relative fair value basis. The Company assesses and considers fair value based on estimated cash flow projections that utilize discount and/or capitalization rates that it deems appropriate, as well as other available market information. Estimates of future cash flows are based on a number of factors including the historical operating results, known and anticipated trends, and market and economic conditions.
The fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired property considers the value of the property as if it were vacant. The Company records acquired above-market and below-market leases at their fair values (using a discount rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) equal to the difference between (1) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to each in-place lease and (2) management's estimate of fair market lease rates for each corresponding in-place lease, measured over a period equal to the remaining term of the lease for above-market leases and the initial term plus the term of any below-market fixed rate renewal options for below-market leases. The Company records acquired in-place lease values based on the Company's evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant's lease. Factors to be considered include costs to execute similar leases or estimated carrying costs during hypothetical expected lease-up periods considering current market conditions. In estimating costs to execute similar leases, the Company considers leasing commissions, legal and other related expenses. In estimating carrying costs, the Company includes real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses, if any, and estimates of lost rentals at market rates during the expected lease-up periods, depending on local market conditions. The Company also considers an allocation of purchase price of other acquired intangibles, including acquired in-place leases that may have a customer relationship intangible value, including but not limited to, the nature and extent of the existing relationship with the tenants, the tenants' credit quality and expectations of lease renewals.
The cost of building and improvements includes the purchase price of the Company's properties and any acquisition-related costs, along with any subsequent improvements to such properties. The Company's investments in real estate are stated at cost and are generally depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated remaining useful lives of the assets as follows:
|
Description
|
Depreciable Life
|
Buildings
|
35-40 years
|
Tenant improvements
|
25 years
|
Land improvements
|
1-14 years
|
In-place lease intangibles
|
Over lease term
|
12
The Company determines a tenant improvement's depreciable useful life as the shorter of the tenant's lease term or the economic useful life associated with the tenant improvement.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recognized depreciation expense in the amount of $3.0million and $5.5million, respectively, as Depreciation and amortization expense on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company did notrecognize any depreciation expense during the three months ended September 30, 2023or the period from January 24, 2023 (Date of Formation) through September 30, 2023.
The Company capitalizes certain costs related to the development of real estate, including pre-construction costs, construction costs, real estate taxes and insurance. Additionally, the Company capitalizes interest costs related to development activities. Capitalization of these costs begin when the activities and related expenditures commence and cease when the project is substantially complete and ready for its intended use at which time the project is placed in service and depreciation commences but no later than one year after substantial completion.
The Company reviews real estate properties for impairment quarterly or when there is an event or change in circumstances that indicates an impaired value. Since cash flows on real estate properties considered to be "long-lived assets to be held and used" are evaluated on an undiscounted basis to determine whether an asset has been impaired, the Company's strategy of holding properties over the long term directly decreases the likelihood of recording an impairment loss. If the Company's strategy changes or market conditions otherwise dictate an earlier sale date, an impairment loss may be recognized, and such loss could be material to our results. If the Company determines that an impairment has occurred, the affected assets must be reduced to their fair value. No impairments occurred during the periods presented.
Definite-lived intangible lease assets are recorded as Intangible assets on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and amortized at lease commencement over the life of the lease. The amortization of in-place leases is recorded as an adjustment to Depreciation and amortization expense on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recognized amortization expense in the amount of $1.0million and $1.8 million, respectively, as Depreciation and amortization expense on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company did notrecognize any amortization expense during the three months ended September 30, 2023 or the period from January 24, 2023 (Date of Formation) through September 30, 2023.
The Company reviews indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually or when there is an event or change in circumstances that indicate a decrease in value. If there are qualitative factors that indicate it is more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired, the Company calculates the fair value of the asset and will record the impairment charge if the carrying amount exceeds the fair value. This new cost basis will be used for future periods when recording subsequent loss and cannot be written up to a higher value as a result of increases in fair value. No impairments occurred during the periods presented.
Rental Revenue
The Company accounts for rental revenue in accordance with ASC 842, Leases. Rental revenue primarily consists of fixed contractual base rent arising from the tenant leases at our properties under operating leases. Revenue under leases that are deemed probable of collection is recognized as revenue on a straight-line basis over the non-cancelable term of the related leases. The Company begins to recognize revenue upon the acquisition of the related property or when a tenant takes possession of the leased space. Base rent arising from tenant leases at our properties is recognized on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease, including any rent steps or abatement provisions. For leases that are deemed not probable of collection, revenue is recorded as the lesser of (i) the amount which would be recognized on a straight-line basis or (ii) cash that has been received from the tenant, with any tenant and deferred rent receivable balances charged as a direct write-off against rental revenue in the period of the change in the collectability determination. Our estimate of collectability includes, but is not limited to, factors such as the tenant's payment history, financial condition, industry and geographic area. These estimates could differ materially from actual results.
Income Taxes
The Company qualifies to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes commencing with the year ending December 31, 2023. The Company's qualification as a REIT will depend upon its ability to meet, on a continuing basis, through actual investment and operating results, various complex requirements under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), relating to, among other things, the sources of the Company's gross income, the composition and value of the Company's assets, the Company's distribution levels and the diversity of ownership of the Company's capital shares. The Company believes that it is organized in conformity with the requirements for qualification as a REIT under the Code and that its intended manner of operation has enabled the Company to meet the requirements for qualification and

taxation as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes commencing with the Company's taxable year ended December 31, 2023.
As a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on its net taxable income that it distributes currently to its shareholders. Under the Code, REITs are subject to numerous organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that they distribute each year at least 90% of their REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding any net capital gains. If the Company fails to qualify for taxation as a REIT in any taxable year and does not qualify for certain statutory relief provisions, the Company's income for that year will be taxed at regular corporate rates, and the Company would be disqualified from taxation as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year during which the Company ceased to qualify as a REIT. Even if the Company qualifies as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes, it may still be subject to state and local taxes on its income and assets and to U.S. federal income and excise taxes on its undistributed income.
Deferred Charges
The Company's deferred charges include financing costs for legal and other loan costs incurred by the Company for its financing agreements. In accordance with ASC 835, Interest, the Company records deferred financing costs as a component of Other assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and amortize using the straight-line method over the term of the applicable financing agreements.
Derivatives and Hedging Activities
The Company uses an interest rate swap to limit exposure to changes in interest rates, primarily on the variable interest rate debt disclosed in "Note 7 - Debt." The Company does not use derivative instruments for speculative or trading purposes. The interest rate swap qualifies as a cash flow hedge under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging,and is recorded at fair value in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets in Other liabilities. Gains and losses due to changes in fair value are recorded in Other comprehensive income and subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged transaction affects earnings. Amounts reported in Other comprehensive income for interest rate swaps will be reclassified to Interest expense when the periodic swap settlements are made each calendar quarter end.
Fair Value Measurement
In accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, the Company defines fair value based on the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or the exit price that would be paid to transfer or settle a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company uses a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value. The fair value hierarchy consists of the three broad levels described below:
•Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity has the ability to access.
•Level 2 - Observable inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
•Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets and liabilities. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs. Due to the inherent uncertainty of these estimates, these values may differ materially from the values that would have been used had a ready market for these investments existed.
The Company's interest rate swap is valued by the Adviser utilizing a pricing model and valuation provided by the counterparty. The rates used are publicly available and therefore these instruments are generally classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. As of September 30, 2024, the fair value of the interest rate swap was ($106,046). The Company did not hold any derivatives as of December 31, 2023.
Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings/(loss) per share of common shares is determined by dividing net income attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. All classes of common shares are allocated income/(loss) at the same rate per share and receive the same gross distribution per share before class-
14
specific fees and accruals/allocations. To the extent that class-specific fees and accruals/allocations are applicable they will be deducted to arrive at class specific net income/(loss) per share and net distribution rate per share. Diluted earnings/(loss) per share is computed by dividing net earnings/(loss) attributable to shareholders for the period by the weighted average number of common shares and common share equivalents outstanding (unless their effect is antidilutive) for the period. There are no common share equivalents outstanding that would have a dilutive effect as a result of the net earnings/(loss), and accordingly, the weighted average number of common shares outstanding is identical for both basic and diluted shares.
Share-Based Compensation
Each of the trustees who are not affiliated with the Adviser or Fortress will receive $100,000 of Class E shares for services provided. The annual award of common shares will vest one year from the date of grant and will be based on the then-current per share transaction price of Class E shares at the time of issuance. The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation. See "Note 9 - Equity" for additional information regarding share-based compensation.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In November of 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2023-07, "Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures."The amendments are intended to increase reportable segment disclosure requirements primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. ASU 2023-07 is effective on a retrospective basis for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on the disclosures within its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Advanced Organizational and Offering Costs
The Adviser agreed to advance all of the organization and offering costs on behalf of the Company (including legal, marketing, due diligence, administrative, accounting, transfer agent fees and other expenses attributable to the Company's organization) through November 1, 2024. Such costs will be reimbursed to the Adviser on a pro-rata basis over a 60-month period beginning November 1, 2024, the first anniversary of the date on which the Company broke escrow for its private offering, and are recorded as a component of Due to affiliate on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Approximately $14.9 million and $9.2 million of reimbursable costs were payable to the Adviser at September 30, 2024and December 31, 2023, respectively.
Accrued Management Fee
The Company will pay the Adviser a management fee ranging from 1.00% to 1.25% of net asset value ("NAV") per annum payable monthly. However, the Adviser has waived the management fee for six months for certain investors measured from the later of (i) the day on which such shareholder first purchased any waiver-eligible shares and (ii) if applicable, the
17
day on which such shares were released from escrow (such later date in respect of any investor, the "Issuance Date"). The management fee paid to the Adviser in respect of any Class E Shares will be waived by the Adviser for periods following the time that the Company qualifies as a "publicly offered REIT" for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
The management fee may be paid, at the Adviser's election, in cash, Class E shares or Class E units of FNLR OP. To date, the Adviser has elected to receive the management fee in the Company's common shares, resulting in a non-cash expense.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company issued 97,734 and 113,804Class E shares, respectively, and recognized management fees of $1.3 millionand $1.7 million, respectively, on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company did notissue shares or incur management fees during the period from January 24, 2023 (Date of Formation) through September 30, 2023.
Performance Participation Allocation
The Special Limited Partner holds a performance participation interest in FNLR OP that entitles it to receive an allocation of total return. This allocation is an expense to the Company as it represents a liability payable for services rendered relating to ongoing operations of the Company. Total return is defined as total distributions plus the change in the Company's NAV per share, adjusted for subscriptions and repurchases. The Special Limited Partner is entitled to an allocation from FNLR OP equal to (i) for the Class F-S units, Class F-D units, Class F-I units (including Class F-I X units which are eligible for a waiver of performance participation allocation), Class B units and Class E units of FNLR OP, 10% of total return and (ii) for the Class C units of FNLR OP, 5% of total return in each case, after the other unit holders have received a total return of 5% (after recouping any loss carryforward amount). The allocation of the performance participation interest is measured on a calendar year basis, made annually and accrued monthly, and is payable in Class A units of FNLR OP, Class E shares or cash at the election of the Special Limited Partner. The Special Limited Partner has waived the performance participation for six months for certain investors measured from the applicable Issuance Date. In addition, the Special Limited Partner's performance participation interest with respect to Class E units of FNLR OP will be waived by the Special Limited Partner following the time that the Company qualifies as a "publicly offered REIT" for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recognized $642,282 and $796,459, respectively, of performance participation allocation expense in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company did notrecognize any performance participation allocation expense during the period from January 24, 2023 (Date of Formation) through September 30, 2023.

(1)Class F-I X, Class B-X and Class D-X represent Class F-I, Class B and Class D shares, respectively, that are currently entitled to a fee waiver, as described in the Form 10.
Share and Unit Repurchases
The Company has adopted a share repurchase plan whereby, subject to certain limitations, shareholders may request, on a monthly basis, that the Company repurchase all or any portion of their shares. The aggregate NAV of total repurchases of the Company's common shares under the Company's share repurchase plan and redemptions of Operating Partnership units is limited to no more than 2% of the Company's aggregate NAV per month (measured using the aggregate NAV attributable to shareholders as of the end of the immediately preceding month) and no more than 5% of the Company's aggregate NAV per calendar quarter (measured using the average aggregate NAV attributable to shareholders as of the end of the immediately preceding three months). Shares or units issued to the Adviser and its affiliates as payment for
20
management fees or as reimbursements of expenses or for the Special Limited Partner's performance participation interest are subject to the repurchase plan but exempt from the redemption limitations.
The Company is not obligated to repurchase any shares or units, including shares or units held by the Adviser acquired as payment of the Adviser's management fee or held by the Special Limited Partner for its performance participation interest, and may choose to repurchase fewer shares than have been requested to be repurchased, or none at all, in its discretion at any time. Further, the Company's board of trustees may make exceptions to, modify or suspend the Company's share repurchase plan (including to make exceptions to the repurchase limitations or purchase fewer shares than such repurchase limitations) if it deems such action to be in the Company's best interest. In the event that the Company determines to repurchase some but not all of the shares submitted for repurchase during any month, shares repurchased at the end of the month will be repurchased on a pro-rata basis.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company repurchased 296,640 shares of common shares for a total of $3.0 million. The Company had no unfulfilled repurchase requests during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
The Company had norepurchase requests from January 24, 2023 (Date of Formation) through September 30, 2023.
Distributions
The Company generally intends to distribute substantially all of its taxable income, which does not necessarily equal net income in accordance with GAAP, to its shareholders each year to comply with the REIT provisions of the Code. Each class of common shares receive the same gross distribution per share during the period the Adviser and Special Limited Partner have waived the management fee and performance participation allocation, respectively.

11. Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings/(loss) per common share is determined by dividing net income/(loss) attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. All classes of common shares are allocated income/(loss) at the same rate per share and receive the same gross distribution per share before class-specific fees and accruals/allocations. To the extent that class-specific fees and accruals/allocations are applicable they will be deducted to arrive at class specific net income/(loss) per share and net distribution rate per share.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
References herein to "Fortress Net Lease REIT," "we," "us," "our," "FNLR," and the "Company" refer to Fortress Net Lease REIT, together with its consolidated subsidiaries, unless the context specifically requires otherwise.
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-Q. In addition to historical data, this discussion contains forward-looking statements about our business, operations and financial performance based on current expectations that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Our actual results may differ materially from those in this discussion as a result of various factors, including but not limited to those discussed under "Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" and in "Item 1A.-Risk Factors" in our Form 10.
Overview
Fortress Net Lease REIT invests primarily in single-tenant, net leased assets. We own all or substantially all of our assets through FNLR OP LP, a subsidiary of the Company (the "Operating Partnership"). FNLR GP LLC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership. We are externally managed by FNLR Management, LLC. The Company's principal business is the acquisition, ownership, financing and leasing of single-tenant commercial real estate properties subject to long-term net leases with investment grade and other creditworthy tenants or guarantors, and our management does not distinguish our principal business, or group our operations, by geography or property type for purposes of measuring performance. Accordingly, we have only one reportable segment.
The Company was formed on January 24, 2023 (the "Date of Formation") as a Maryland statutory trust; however, no activity occurred until we acquired our first property on September 28, 2023.
The Company is a non-listed, perpetual life REIT that has elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Code for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The Company generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income taxes on our taxable income to the extent we annually distribute all of our net taxable income to shareholders and maintain our qualification as a REIT.
As of September 30, 2024, we have received aggregate proceeds of $652.1 million from the sale of our common shares. The Company has contributed the proceeds to the Operating Partnership in exchange for a corresponding number of Operating Partnership units that correspond to the classes of our shares sold. The Operating Partnership has primarily used the proceeds to make investments in real estate as further described below under "-Investment Portfolio." The Company intends to continue selling shares on a monthly basis.
Market Conditions and Trends
The Company's businesses are materially affected by conditions in the financial markets and economic conditions in the U.S. and, to a lesser extent, elsewhere in the world.
During the thirdquarter of 2024, the persistence of both elevated inflation and interest rates, in conjunction with geopolitical uncertainty (including the conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the conflict in the Middle East, including between Israel and Hamas and other developing conflicts), and uncertainty around future capital availability continued to weigh on industry deal activity and market valuations.
However, industry transaction volumes increased slightly compared to the previous quarter and are expected to continue to grow. Our real estate business, focused on triple net leases, continued to deploy significant capital. Our investors continue to benefit from the inflation-mitigating characteristics and long term risk adjusted returns of the net lease structure, including contractually guaranteed and highly predictable net rent growth and long-duration income flows across the portfolio.
We are continuing to closely monitor developments related to the macroeconomic factors that have contributed to market volatility, and to assess the impact of these factors on financial markets and on our business. Our future results may be adversely affected by slowdowns in fundraising activity and the pace of capital deployment. It remains difficult to predict the ultimate effects of these events on the financial markets, overall economy, and our financial statements. See "Item 1A. Risk Factors - Risks Related to Our Business and Operations" in our Form 10.
24
Recent Developments
Since September 30, 2024, through and including the date hereof, we (i) have acquired three industrial properties and one retail property located across the United States for $206.9 million and $3.2 million, respectively, (ii) amended the Credit Facilities (as defined below) and (iii) issued and sold an aggregate of 10,662,355 common shares in our private offering, resulting in proceeds of $107.3million(see "Item 1. Financial Statements-Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements-Note 12. Subsequent Events-Acquisitions" and the section titled "Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds").
First Amendment to Revolving Credit and Term Loan Facilities
On October 18, 2024, FNLR OP LP, as borrower (the "Borrower"), the Company, as guarantor, the other guarantors party thereto (together with the Company, the "Guarantors" and, collectively with the Borrower, the "Loan Parties"), entered into that certain First Amendment to Credit Agreement and New Lender Joinder Agreement (the "First Amendment") with Bank of America, N.A. ("BofA"), as sole lender under that certain Credit Agreement dated August 13, 2024, among the Loan Parties and BofA (the "Credit Agreement"), immediately prior to the effectiveness of the First Amendment, each of Capital One, National Association, KeyBank National Association, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, and Goldman Sachs Bank USA, as new revolving credit lenders and new term lenders, and BofA, as administrative agent (in such capacity, the "Administrative Agent") and as the sole L/C Issuer under the Credit Agreement, pursuant to which (i) the aggregate commitments to the revolving credit facility pursuant to the Credit Agreement increased from $120.0 million to $350.0 million, of which $25.0 million is available for standby letters of credit (the "Revolving Credit Facility") and (ii) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the term loan pursuant to the Credit Agreement increased from $5.0 million to $100.0 million (the "Term Loan Facility" and, together with the Revolving Credit Facility, the "Credit Facilities"). Subject to the terms and conditions of the Credit Facilities, all commitments and amounts outstanding under the Credit Facilities will be due and payable in full on October 17, 2025 (the "Maturity Date"). The First Amendment increased the number of one year extensions of the Maturity Date the Borrower may request from one option to three options.
The obligations of the Loan Parties under the Credit Facilities are secured by (i) a pledge of the equity interests of certain of the Company's subsidiaries, (ii) the rights to receive income, gain, profits or other items of each Loan Party that is a pledgor and (iii) all proceeds of the foregoing, in each case subject to certain exclusions set forth in the Credit Facilities At the option of the Borrower, the Credit Facilities will bear interest at either (i) a rate equal to term secured overnight financing rate ("SOFR") or daily simple SOFR plus a margin rate ranging from 1.40% to 1.90% or (ii) a base rate based on the highest of (A) Federal Funds Rate plus half of 1%, (B) BofA's prime rate, (C) Term SOFR plus 1.00% and (D) 1.00%. The Revolving Credit Facility is subject to a per annum fee based on the daily unused portion of the facility ranging from 0.15% to 0.25% and is payable quarterly in arrears. The Credit Facilities are prepayable, in whole or in part, at any time without premium or penalty.
The Credit Facilities contain various restrictions and covenants applicable to the Loan Parties that are customary for syndicated credit facilities, including restrictions on the Company's ability to incur indebtedness, incur liens and make certain investments. Among other requirements, the Loan Parties may not exceed certain debt limitations and must ensure compliance with certain financial ratios.
The Credit Facilities also contain customary events of default. If an event of default under the Credit Facilities occurs and is continuing, then the Administrative Agent may declare any outstanding obligations under the Credit Facilities to be immediately due and payable. In addition, if the Borrower becomes the subject of voluntary or involuntary proceedings under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law, then any outstanding obligations under the Credit Facilities will automatically become due and payable.
Acquisition of Industrial Portfolio
On October 23, 2024, a subsidiary of the Company entered into an agreement for the purchase and sale of real estate (the "Syngenta Purchase Agreement") with certain subsidiaries of Syngenta AG (the "Syngenta Seller"), pursuant to which a subsidiary of the Company acquired a portfolio of three industrial properties from the Syngenta Seller for an aggregate purchase price of $206.9 million (such transaction, the "Syngenta Acquisition," and such properties, the "Acquired Syngenta Properties"). The Syngenta Acquisition was consummated substantially concurrently with the execution of the Syngenta Purchase Agreement and upon the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, and was financed using proceeds from the Company's continuous private offering and the Credit Facilities.
25
The Acquired Syngenta Properties include one property located in Vero Beach, Florida, one property located in Lone Tree, Iowa and one property located in Waterloo, Nebraska. Upon closing of the Syngenta Acquisition, the Acquired Syngenta Properties were leased back to the Syngenta Seller pursuant to an absolute triple net master lease.
The Syngneta Purchase Agreement contains customary representations and warranties for a transaction of this type. Subject to the provisions of the Syngenta Purchase Agreement, the parties have agreed to indemnify each other from the certain losses resulting from breaches of their respective representations, warranties and covenants set forth in the Syngenta Purchase Agreement.
Amended Offering Documents
On November 14, 2024, the Company's board of directors authorized the Company to (i) cancel the Class B and Class C common shares (none of which were outstanding), (ii) rename the Class D common shares as "Class D-S common shares" and (iii) offer and sell new classes of common shares to be designated the "Class S common shares", "Class D common shares" and "Class I common shares". The Class S, Class D and Class I common shares will pay a 1.25% management fee and a 12.5% performance participation interest.
Emerging Growth Company Status
We are and will remain an "emerging growth company" as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the "JOBS Act") until the earlier of (a) the last day of the fiscal year (i) following the fifth anniversary of the date of an initial public offering pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, (ii) in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.235 billion, or (iii) in which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of our shares that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the date of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter, and (b) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt during the prior three-year period. For so long as we remain an "emerging growth company" we are eligible to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not "emerging growth companies" including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. We cannot predict if investors will find our shares less attractive because we may rely on some or all of these exemptions.
In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an "emerging growth company" can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an "emerging growth company" can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We will take advantage of the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards, which may make it more difficult for investors and securities analysts to evaluate us since our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates.

The following details the adjustments to reconcile accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") equity and total partners' capital of the Operating Partnership to our NAV:
•The Adviser agreed to advance certain organization and offering costs on our behalf through November 1, 2024. The Adviser will be reimbursed for such costs on a pro-rata basis over a 60-month period beginning November 1, 2024, the first anniversary of the date on which the Company broke escrow for its private offering. Under GAAP, organization costs have been accrued as a liability. For purposes of calculating NAV, such costs will be recognized as paid over the 60-month reimbursement period.
•Investments in real estate, net are presented at their depreciated cost basis in the GAAP condensed consolidated financial statements. For purposes of calculating NAV, operating properties will be initially valued at cost and subsequently measured at fair value. Properties under development are recorded at the transaction price plus gross fundings, which include construction interest paid to the Company until the applicable construction is completed.
•The Company depreciates investments in real estate and amortize certain other assets and liabilities in accordance with GAAP. Such depreciation and amortization is not recorded for purposes of calculating our NAV.
•The Company recognizes rental revenue on a straight-line basis under GAAP. Such straight-line rent adjustments are excluded for purposes of calculating NAV.
•Under GAAP, we accrue the ongoing shareholder servicing fee as an offering cost at the time we sell Class F-S shares. For purposes of calculating NAV, we recognize the ongoing servicing fee as a reduction of NAV on a monthly basis.

Distributions
Beginning on November 30, 2023, we declared monthly distributions for each class of our common shares, which are generally paid four days after month-end. The net distribution may vary for each class based on the applicable shareholder servicing fee, which is deducted from the monthly distribution per share and paid directly to the Dealer Manager for further remittance to the applicable distributor.

(2)See "Funds from Operations" below for a description of Funds from Operations. Refer to below for reconciliations of these amounts to GAAP net income and for considerations on how to review these metrics.
Funds from Operations
We believe funds from operations ("FFO") is a meaningful non-GAAP supplemental measure of our operating results. Our condensed consolidated financial statements are presented using historical cost accounting which, among other things, requires depreciation of real estate investments to be calculated on a straight-line basis. As a result, our operating results imply that the value of our real estate investments have decreased over time. However, we believe that the value of our real estate investments will fluctuate over time based on market conditions and, as such, depreciation under historical cost accounting may be less informative as a measure of our performance. FFO is an operating measure defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") that is broadly used in the REIT industry. FFO, as defined by NAREIT and presented below, is calculated as net income or loss (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding (i) depreciation and amortization, (ii) impairment of investments in real estate, (iii) net gains or losses from sales of real estate, and (iv) similar adjustments for non-controlling interests and unconsolidated entities.
FFO should not be considered more relevant or accurate than GAAP net income (loss) in evaluating our performance. In addition, FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) as an indication of our performance or as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as an indication of our liquidity, but rather should be reviewed in conjunction with these and other GAAP measurements. Further, FFO is not intended to be used as liquidity measures indicative of cash flow available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to make distributions to our shareholders. In addition, our methodology for calculating FFO may differ from the methodologies employed by other companies to calculate the same or similar supplemental performance measures, and accordingly, our reported FFO may not be comparable to the FFO reported by other companies.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity
We believe we have sufficient liquidity to operate our business, with immediate liquidity comprised of cash and cash equivalents of $3.3 million and $58.0 million available under the Credit Facilities as of September 30, 2024. In addition to our immediate liquidity, we obtain incremental liquidity through the sale of our common shares, from which we generated proceeds of $536.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. We may incur indebtedness secured by our real estate and real estate debt investments, borrow money through unsecured financings, or incur other forms of indebtedness. We may also generate incremental liquidity through the sale of our real estate and other real estate investments.
Our primary liquidity needs are to fund our investments, make distributions to our shareholders, repurchase common shares pursuant to our share repurchase plan, pay operating expenses, fund capital expenditures, and repay indebtedness. Our operating expenses include, among other things, the management fee we pay to the Adviser and the performance participation allocation that the Operating Partnership pays to the Special Limited Partner, both of which will impact our liquidity to the extent the Adviser or the Special Limited Partner elect to receive such payments in cash, or subsequently redeem shares or Operating Partnership units previously issued to them.
Our cash needs for acquisitions and other capital investments will be funded primarily from the sale of common shares and through the incurrence or assumption of debt. We plan on fulfilling our outstanding commitment obligations for properties under development from the sale of common shares. Other potential future sources of capital include secured or unsecured financings from banks or other lenders and proceeds from the sale of assets. If necessary, we may use financings or other sources of capital in the event of unforeseen significant capital expenditures. We continue to believe that our current liquidity position is sufficient to meet the need of our expected investment activity.
Capital Resources
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we issued and sold 53,548,642 common shares, consisting of 633,858 Class F-S shares, 24,552,183 Class F-I shares, 28,213,182 Class D shares and 149,421 Class E shares, to accredited investors in our private offering, amounting to proceeds of $536.8 million as payment for such shares, including shares issued pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan. Additionally, 113,804 of Class E common shares were also issued as a payment of $1.2 million of management fees incurred. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company repurchased 296,640 shares of common shares for a total of $3.0 million.
As of September 30, 2024, we had received aggregate proceeds of $652.1 million from the issuance and sale of common shares in our private offering and pursuant to our distribution reinvestment program. As of September 30, 2024, after giving effect to shares issued pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan, share transfers, conversions, and redemptions, we had an aggregate of 65,220,729 common shares outstanding, consisting of 633,858 Class F-S shares, 27,758,881 Class F-I shares, 36,476,175 Class D shares and 351,815 Class E shares.

Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of our financial statements in accordance with GAAP involve significant judgments and assumptions and require estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain. These judgments will affect our reported amounts of assets and liabilities and our disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. With different estimates or assumptions, materially different amounts could be reported in our condensed consolidated financial statements. The following is a summary of our significant accounting policies that we believe are the most affected by our judgments, estimates, and assumptions. See "Item 1. Financial Statements-Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements-Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates" for further descriptions of the below accounting policies.
Investments in Real Estate
We expect that most of our acquisitions will qualify as asset acquisitions rather than business combinations pursuant to ASC 805, Business Combinations. Upon the acquisition of a property, we assess the fair value of the acquired tangible and intangible assets (including land, buildings, tenant improvements, "above-market" and "below-market" leases, acquired in-place leases, other identified intangible assets and assumed liabilities) and we allocate the purchase price to the acquired assets and assumed liabilities, on a relative fair value basis. The most significant portion of the allocation is to buildings, land, and construction in process and requires the use of market based estimates and assumptions. We assess and consider fair value based on estimated cash flow projections that utilize appropriate discount and/or capitalization rates, as well as other available market information. Estimates of future cash flows are based on a number of factors including historical operating results, known and anticipated trends, and market and economic conditions.
The fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired property considers the value of the property as if it were vacant. We also consider an allocation of purchase price of other acquired intangibles, including acquired in-place leases that may have intangible value, such as customer relationships, including (but not limited to) the nature and extent of the existing relationship with the tenants, the tenants' credit quality and expectations of lease renewals.
Acquired above-market and below-market leases are recorded at their fair values (using a discount rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) equal to the difference between (1) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to each in-place lease and (2) management's estimate of fair market lease rates for each corresponding in-place lease, measured over a period equal to the remaining term of the lease for above-market leases and the initial term plus the term of any below-market fixed rate renewal options for below-market leases.
37
Other intangible assets acquired include amounts for in-place lease values that are based on our evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant's lease. Factors to be considered include estimates of carrying costs during hypothetical expected lease-up periods considering current market conditions, and costs to execute similar leases. In estimating carrying costs, we include real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses, if any, and estimates of lost rentals at market rates during the expected lease-up periods, depending on local market conditions. In estimating costs to execute similar leases, we consider leasing commissions, legal and other related expenses.
Impairment of Investments in Real Estate and Intangible Assets
We review real estate properties for impairment each quarter or when there is an event or change in circumstances that indicates an impaired value. If the carrying amount of the real estate investment is no longer recoverable and exceeds the fair value of such investment, an impairment loss is recognized. The impairment loss is recognized based on the excess of the carrying amount of the asset over its fair value. The evaluation of anticipated future cash flows is highly subjective and is based in part on assumptions regarding future occupancy, rental rates and capital requirements that could differ materially from actual results. Since cash flows on real estate properties considered to be "long-lived assets to be held and used" are considered on an undiscounted basis to determine whether an asset has been impaired, our strategy of holding properties over the long term directly decreases the likelihood of recording an impairment loss. If our strategy changes or market conditions otherwise dictate an earlier sale date, an impairment loss may be recognized, and such loss could be material to our results. If we determine that an impairment has occurred, the affected assets must be reduced to their fair value.
We review indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually or when there is an event or change in circumstances that indicates a decrease in value. If there are qualitative factors that indicate it is more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired, we calculate the fair value of the asset and record the impairment charge if the carrying amount exceeds the fair value. This new cost basis will be used for future periods when recording subsequent income or loss and cannot be written up to a higher value as a result of increases in fair value.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements may be issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or other standard setting bodies that will be adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. The Company believes that the impact of the recently issued standards that are not yet effective and not adopted will not have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
The primary components of our market risk are related to interest rates, credit risk, credit market values, liquidity and foreign currency exchange rates. While we do not seek to avoid risk completely, we believe that risk can be quantified from historical experience, and we seek to actively manage that risk, to earn sufficient compensation to justify taking those risks and to maintain capital levels consistent with the risks we undertake.
Interest Rate Risk
Through our investment portfolio and floating rate leverage facilities that we may use to finance our investment portfolio, we are exposed to risk from changes in interest rates and inflation. An increase in interest rates could increase the cost of variable rate debt that we may incur in the future, which may affect our ability to make distributions or payments to our investors. During times when inflation is greater than the increases in rent provided by many of our leases, rent increases will not keep up with the rate of inflation, which could cause the value of our properties to decline. Increased costs may have an adverse impact on our tenants if increases in their operating expenses exceed increases in revenue, which may adversely affect the tenants' ability to pay rent owed to us, which in turn could materially and adversely affect us. Inflationary expectations or periods of rising inflation could also be accompanied by rising prices of commodities that are critical to the construction and/or operation of real estate properties. The market value of our investments could potentially decline in value in times of higher inflation rates. Some of our investments could have income linked to inflation, whether by regulation or contractual arrangement or other means. However, as inflation could affect both income and expenses, any increase in income could potentially not be sufficient to cover increases in expenses. Moreover, as inflation increases, the real value of our investments and distributions therefrom can decline. If we are unable to increase the revenue and profits of our investments at times of higher inflation, we could be unable to pay out higher distributions to
38
shareholders to compensate for the relative decrease in the value of money, thereby affecting the expected return of investors.
We generally expect to mitigate this exposure to interest rate risk by purchasing or selling various financial instruments, including interest rate cap or collar agreements and interest rate swap agreements. While we have not experienced any significant credit losses since we commenced operations, in the event of a significant rising interest rate environment and/or economic downturn, tenant vacancies or defaults could increase and result in losses, which could adversely affect our operating results and liquidity, including our ability to pay any debt obligations we may incur. However, our interest rate hedging strategies may not eliminate all of our interest rate risk due to, among other things, uncertainties in the timing and/or amounts of inflation or the general interest rate environment and/or unequal, inaccurate, or unavailable hedges to offset changes in future interest rates.
Credit Risk
We are exposed to credit risk in our investments with respect to a tenant's ability to make required rent payments to us. We intend to manage this risk by employing a credit-first approach to understanding the financial wherewithal of a tenant prior to entering into a lease and by actively monitoring the macro- and micro-economic and industry trends that impact our tenants as well as their financial statements when available.
Market Value Risks
We may also be exposed to market value risk with respect to the fair value of our investments, including debt securities, and borrowings due to changes in market conditions, including real estate property values, interest rates and property cash flows. The fair value of our investments may fluctuate, therefore the amount we will realize upon any repayment, sale, or an alternative liquidation event is unknown. Within the parameters of our valuation guidelines, the valuation methodologies used to value our properties and certain of our investments will involve subjective judgments and projections and may not be accurate. Valuation methodologies will also involve assumptions and opinions about future events, which may or may not turn out to be correct. Valuations and appraisals of our properties and other investments will be only estimates of fair value. Ultimate realization of the value of an asset depends to a great extent on economic, market and other conditions beyond our control and the control of the Adviser and our independent valuation advisor. In addition, commercial property values are subject to volatility and may be adversely affected by a number of factors, including, but not limited to national, regional and local economic conditions; local real estate conditions; changes or continued weakness in specific industry segments; construction quality, age and design; demographic factors; and retroactive changes to building or similar codes and/or tax and legal considerations.
Liquidity Risk
Market disruptions may lead to a significant decline in transaction activity in all or a significant portion of the asset classes in which we intend to invest and may at the same time lead to a significant contraction in short-term and long-term debt and equity funding sources. A decline in liquidity of real estate and real estate-related investments, as well as a lack of availability of observable transaction data and inputs, may make it more difficult to sell our investments or determine their fair values. As a result, we may be unable to sell investments, or only be able to sell investments at a price that may be materially different from the fair values presented. In addition, a decline in market value of our assets may have particular adverse consequences in instances where we borrowed money based on the fair value of our assets.
Foreign Currency Risk
Any of our investments that may be denominated in a foreign currency will also be subject to risks related to fluctuations in exchange rates. We generally expect to mitigate this exposure by hedging the net currency exposure of our foreign currency assets to the U.S. Dollar. As a result, we expect to reduce our exposure to changes in portfolio value related to changes in foreign exchange rates. However, our currency hedging strategies may not eliminate all of our currency risk due to, among other things, uncertainties in the timing and/or amounts of payments received on the related investments, and/or unequal, inaccurate, or unavailable hedges to offset changes in future exchange rates.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
An evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our "disclosure controls and procedures" (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act), as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form
39
10-Q was made under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Co-Chief Executive Officers ("Co-CEOs"), who are our principal executive officers, and our Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), who is our principal financial officer. Based upon this evaluation, our Co-CEOs and CFO have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (a) are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by SEC rules and forms and (b) include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Co-CEOs and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the period covered by this report, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) identified in connection with the evaluation described above that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
From time to time, we, the Adviser or Fortress may be a party to certain legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, including proceedings relating to the enforcement of our rights under contracts with our portfolio companies. We may also be subject to regulatory proceedings. While the outcome of these legal or regulatory proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, we may incur significant costs and expenses in connection with any such proceedings.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
For information regarding factors that could affect our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity, see the risk factors discussed in "Item 1A. Risk Factors" in our Form 10.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
Except as previously reported by the Company on its current reports on Form 8-K, the Company did not sell any securities during the period covered by this Form 10-Q that were not registered under the Securities Act.
Share Repurchases
The Company has adopted a share repurchase plan whereby, subject to certain limitations, shareholders may request, on a monthly basis, that the Company repurchase all or any portion of their shares. The aggregate NAV of total repurchases of the Company's common shares under the Company's share repurchase plan and redemptions of Operating Partnership units is limited to no more than 2% of the Company's aggregate NAV per month (measured using the aggregate NAV attributable to shareholders as of the end of the immediately preceding month) and no more than 5% of the Company's aggregate NAV per calendar quarter (measured using the average aggregate NAV attributable to shareholders as of the end of the immediately preceding three months). Shares or units issued to the Adviser and its affiliates as payment for management fees or as reimbursements of expenses or for the Special Limited Partner's performance participation interest are not subject to these repurchase plan but exempt from the redemption limitations.
The Company is not obligated to repurchase any shares and may choose to repurchase fewer shares than have been requested to be repurchased, or none at all, in its discretion at any time. Further, the Company's board of trustees may make exceptions to, modify or suspend the Company's share repurchase plan (including to make exceptions to the repurchase limitations or purchase fewer shares than such repurchase limitations) if it deems such action to be in the Company's best interest. In the event that the Company determines to repurchase some but not all of the shares submitted for repurchase during any month, shares repurchased at the end of the month will be repurchased on a pro-rata basis.
The Company had no repurchase requests from the Date of Formation to September 30, 2024.
