Peer Comparison

1. Industry-wide analysis: The real estate investment trust (REITs) industry as a whole faced challenges in 2024, with the recovery of the leasing market slower than expected, leading to fluctuations in the operating revenue of many companies. Overall, the industry's rental income was generally affected by the economic slowdown and intensified market competition, with many REITs reporting a year-on-year decline in operating revenue.

2. Peer evaluation analysis: Compared with other companies in the industry, GNL's operating revenue decline was relatively small, but its revenue structure changes and future rental growth potential still need attention. Other peers may maintain stable or growing revenue due to stronger market positions or better asset portfolios, and GNL needs to take measures to enhance its competitiveness.

Summary

In 2024, Global Net Lease faced multiple challenges, leading to a decline in operating revenue. Intensified market competition and economic environment fluctuations were the main reasons, and the failure to sign new rental contracts further limited revenue growth. Although the sale of properties brought net gains, the overall revenue structure needs attention, and future improvement measures need to be actively sought.
