GTYGTY

Getty Realty disposed of seven properties in Q4 2025 and saw its rent coverage ratio drop from 2.6x to 2.5x on lower fuel margins. The firm delivered 12% annualized base rent growth for 2025, 5% Q4 AFFO per share gains and holds a $100 million pipeline—80% auto service—funding by end-2026.

1. Q4 2025 Dispositions and Rent Coverage

Getty Realty disposed of seven properties in the fourth quarter and saw its rent coverage ratio decline from 2.6x to 2.5x as fuel margins normalized in the convenience store portfolio. Occupancy remained at 99.7% with full rent collections, reinforcing overall tenant health despite the coverage dip.

2. Base Rent and AFFO Growth

The company reported a 12% increase in annualized base rent for 2025 and achieved 5% AFFO per share growth in Q4, driving a full-year AFFO gain of 3.8%. These results reflect strength in new leases and rent escalations across its convenience and non-fuel assets.

3. $100 Million Investment Pipeline

Getty Realty has $100 million of investments under contract—approximately 80% in auto service properties such as collision centers and oil change locations, with the balance in CNG, drive-throughs and car washes. Roughly 80% is earmarked for development funding over the next 12 months, with the rest closing as acquisitions within 60 to 90 days.

4. Portfolio Diversification and Expenses

Non-fuel and non-convenience assets now represent 30% of annual base rent, reflecting a strategic diversification away from pure gas station exposure. The company incurred elevated legal and professional fees in 2025 that temporarily raised the G&A ratio, but these costs are deemed non-recurring.
