spk06: I'm pleased to report a strong fourth quarter of results, which represents the successful culmination of our first full calendar year as a publicly traded company. I'm incredibly proud of all that my colleagues accomplished in 2021, and most importantly, the results we were able to deliver for our shareholders. Execution across all facets of our business translated into 9.2% growth in AFFO per share over our annualized Q4 2020 results. which we view as an accurate proxy for full year 2020 performance following our IPO in late September 2020. This outstanding result was driven by strong same-store portfolio performance, robust and accretive external growth, as well as prudent capital markets execution and balance sheet management. During 2021, we collected 100% of contractual runs owed, and average occupancy for the year was 99.8%. These near perfect operating results coupled with our best in class annual rent escalations of 2% helped generate strong same store portfolio growth year over year. On an external growth front, our diversified investment strategy provided the flexibility to navigate what was a record setting year in the net lease transaction market. Despite heightened levels of demand and competition, we were able to close over $650 million of accretive acquisition opportunities diversified across all of our core property types at a weighted average initial cash cap rate of 6.3% and a 15.9 year weighted average lease term and 1.5% weighted average annual rent escalations. The B&L story truly shone through in all of our 2021 accomplishments. We delivered on our defensive growth strategy during the year and continued to remain laser focused on best in class diversification across all facets of the business during the year. Industrial assets led the way in 2021 comprising 47% of our transaction volume. Retail assets were second at 26% followed by healthcare at 23% and restaurant at 4%. Our top tenant exposures declined by 40 basis points to 2.1% and our top 10 and top 20 tenant exposures declined by 120 and 140 basis points respectively. All of these statistics demonstrate that we can continue to meaningfully grow earnings per share while not feeling pressured to overly concentrate with any one tenant or in any single sector. Growth in 2021 was supported by outstanding execution in the capital markets, including an inaugural follow-on equity offering, a debut 10-year public bond offering, and routine equity issuance through our newly established ATM program. These actions have positioned us to continue to execute on our defensive growth strategy in 2022, as we look to deliver another year of solid results for our shareholders. Now, turning to B&L's recent performance, during the fourth quarter, we invested $147.5 million in 36 properties at a weighted average initial cash cap rate of 6%. Q4 marks the first quarter since our IPO in which we acquired properties across all of our core property types, including industrial, healthcare, investment-grade retail, and restaurants. The leases include 1.5% annual rent escalations and 14.2 years of remaining lease term, translating into a weighted average gap cap rate of 6.6%. I'd now like to provide additional detail regarding a few key transactions completed during the fourth quarter. During the quarter, we acquired five industrial facilities and four separate transactions for a total of $60 million at a weighted average cash cap rate of 5.9%. The leases include a weighted average 1.9 annual rent escalations and a weighted 15.3 year lease term included in these acquisitions are two additional investments in the food processing space that are critical to the tenants operations as evidenced by the significant renovations undertaken in the past two years by these tenants we are thrilled to continue to add additional food manufacturing and associated cold storage exposure to our industrial segment of the portfolio have historically found strong risk-adjusted returns in this space that are highly complementary to our overall portfolio construction we also added five casual dining restaurants in a sale and leaseback transaction with a well-established and growing regional casual dining operator located in houston texas these five restaurant locations were purchased in addition to the company's small corporate headquarters for 28.5 million dollars all of the properties are master leased and include 1.5% annual rent escalations over a new 20-year lease term. This transaction represents our first investment in the casual dining space since the onset of the COVID pandemic. We have meticulously followed the space over the past two years, closely monitoring how different concepts within our existing restaurant portfolio performed during and recovered from a period of temporary distress. We are growing increasingly more comfortable with the space as operating and financial trends continue to recover to pre-pandemic levels. Each of the five restaurant locations purchased during the fourth quarter currently exhibit strong rent-to-sales and rent-to-coverage ratios. We're excited to make a return to investing in the casual dining space and with this attractive risk-adjusted opportunity. Finally, we acquired $42 million of investment-grade retail assets during the quarter comprised of 22 properties and a weighted average cash cap rate of 5.8%. The investments include three existing B&L tenants, And the properties are located in geographically diverse markets across Michigan, Georgia, Kentucky, and Tennessee. The leases have a weighted average remaining lease term of 10.3 years and include 50 basis points of weighted average annual rent escalations. Many of the properties were built in the last five years and include upgraded construction consistent with their respective concepts, modern redesigns. We have generally focused on growing our investment grade retail exposure over the past year. This quarter's activity includes a mix of single site acquisitions and a larger portfolio that helped bolster the results with long weighted average lease terms and annual rent escalations. An average asset size of approximately $2 million, coupled with tenant and geographic diversification, makes this a highly attractive opportunity to add significant investment grade exposure without taking on outsized concentration risk. Acquisitions completed during the fourth quarter bring total volume for 2021 to $654.7 million at a weighted average cash cap rate of 6.3%, consistent with the midpoint of our last guidance update for the year. 2022 is off an exciting start and is currently on pace to be one of the strongest beginnings to a year with respect to acquisition volumes in our nearly 15-year history of investing in net lease real estate. Since quarter end, we've closed 32.9 million of transactions and currently have over 200 million of opportunities under our control, which we define as under contract or executed letter of intent. I'm pleased to announce our initial 2022 acquisition guidance range of $700 to $800 million, which reflects approximately 16% growth over our year-ending gross asset value at the midpoint of the range. Our asset base relative to many of our larger peers allows us to generate meaningful growth and results at highly achievable levels of acquisitions. Our diversified investment strategy will continue to provide flexibility to source accretive opportunities without sacrificing our underwriting standards in 2022. Ryan will provide additional detail regarding further guidance updates in just a few moments. During the fourth quarter, we sold six properties for $15.8 million. These sales continued to reflect our disposition strategy, primarily focused on risk mitigation and included three vacant property sales and the disposal of three lower performing automotive retail sites at a 7.5% cap rate. We continue to monitor the portfolio closely with heightened level of focus placed on the current macroeconomic outlook and how that could impact our tenants. Best-in-class diversification by property type, industry, tenant, and geography act as a natural defensive hedge amid expectations of both rising inflation and interest rates. Our portfolio has been deliberately constructed and is uniquely positioned to weather any singular tenant credit event. Diversification has proven beneficial throughout many challenging economic environments, including most recently the COVID pandemic. In addition, our best in class portfolio weighted average minimum rent escalation of 2% will help generate better same store growth during a period of higher inflation relative to many others in the net lease space. As of December 31, 2021, all but two of our properties were subject to a lease and our properties were occupied by 204 different commercial tenants with no single tenant accounting for more than 2.1% of ABR. I'll now turn the call over to Ryan to provide additional detail on our Q4 and fiscal 2021 results, recent capital markets activity, and our initial guidance for 2022.
spk05: Thanks, Chris. During the fourth quarter, we generated AFFO of $58.7 million, or $0.34 per share, which represents 3% growth on a per share basis quarter over quarter. Our fourth quarter results were largely driven by revenue generated from late Q3 acquisitions as well as acquisitions completed within the quarter. Please note that 134.6 million of acquisitions were closed during the month of December, many of which were closed in the final weeks of 2021. We expect these acquisitions to act as a tailwind for our Q1 2022 results. During the quarter, we incurred total G&A expense of 8.5 million, which includes 7.5 million of cash expenses. Now turning to our full year 2021 results, we generated AFFO of $216 million or $1.31 per share, which as Chris mentioned, represents growth of 9.2% over our annualized Q4 2020 results, landing at the midpoint of our last guidance update. During the year, we incurred $36.4 million of total G&A expenses, which includes $4.7 million of stock-based compensation, and 1.3 million of one-time severance costs, resulting in 30.4 million of cash expenses. Full-year cash G&A came in just above the low end of our last guidance update. As for capital markets activities, during the fourth quarter, we sold approximately 1.1 million shares of common stock at a weighted average share price of $26.26 per share for total net proceeds of 27.3 million through our ATM program, which was established in the third quarter of 2021. We view the ATM as an important component of our overall capital market strategy and expect to continue to utilize the program to match fund acquisitions and control our leverage profile in an efficient manner. Subsequent to year end, we also amended and restated our revolving credit facility, upsizing the capacity to 1 billion, extending its maturity date to March 2026, and reducing the applicable margin to 85 basis points based on our BBB or BAA2 ratings. The amendment also provided for a $500 million supplement for Canadian dollar and other foreign currency borrowings, which we expect to utilize to primarily fund potential future acquisition opportunities in Canada. As of year end, our net debt was approximately $1.7 billion, resulting in a net debt to annualized adjusted EBITDA RE of 5.1 times. We continue to target a conservative leverage profile of less than six times on a net debt to annualized adjusted EBITDA RE basis. Our liquidity profile remains highly robust, with only approximately 10% of our $1 billion revolver utilized as of year end. Subsequent to year end, S&P global ratings reaffirmed our BBB rating with a stable outlook. Now turning to our initial full year guidance for 2022. We expect to report AFFO per diluted share between $1.38 and $1.42, which represents an implied growth rate of 6.9% at the midpoint of our guidance range when compared to our 2021 full year results of $1.31 per share. Our initial 2022 guidance range is based on the following key assumptions. Acquisition volume between 700 and 800 million representing growth of 14.6% over our 2021 gross acquisition volume at the midpoint of the range. Disposition volume between 75 and 100 million consistent with our 2021 disposition volume. And total cash G&A between 31 and $33 million representing growth of approximately 5% over our 2021 cash G&A at the midpoint of the range. As a reminder, our per share results for the year are sensitive to both the timing and amount of acquisition, disposition, and capital markets activity that occur throughout the year. Finally, at our board meeting held on February 17th, our directors declared a 26.5 cent dividend per common share in OP units. to holders of record as of March 31st, payable on or before April 15th. We will continue to evaluate future increases to our dividend with our board on a quarterly basis. With that, I will turn it back over to Chris for closing remarks.
spk06: Thank you, Ryan. I want to reiterate how pleased I am with all we accomplished in 2021 and how we are currently positioned to continue to deliver strong results for our shareholders in 2022. I'm confident that our robust pipeline of diverse and creative acquisition opportunities and our expanded access to multiple capital sources will only help propel our momentum in 2022 further. This concludes our prepared remarks. Operator, you can now open the line for questions.
spk02: Absolutely. The first question is from the line of John Kim. John, please proceed.
spk08: Has there been any impact on pricing or certainly either for your guidance or for the market overall? on what's happened in the market so far as far as interest rates and re-share prices for net lease companies?
spk06: Sure. You know, I will probably sound like a little bit of a broken record on what you heard from some of the other net lease folks in the last couple of weeks, but where we sit today, just sort of being 45 or 50 days into some of the, call it New Year's adjustments that we've seen to share prices and to rising debt costs, we haven't seen a a meaningful change, I'd say, from our perspective. Cap rates stabilized a little bit towards the end of the fourth quarter and into this year, so there wasn't that persistent downward march. But at the same time, we haven't seen any widening out of pricing at this point. Again, things you've probably heard before, but I think are very true for us today, the lag in which we're negotiating transactions. It is a real thing and takes a while for the market to catch up. And logically, it seems like there should be some winding out to account for the changes in cost of capital that the space has experienced. But things that we're closing now, we were actively working on in October and November timeframe. So some of that is just going to take a little ways to work its way through the system. And certainly the competition on the private side still remains pretty robust. For us, at the moment, we haven't seen any meaningful change in pricing, but we continue to monitor it and focus on our spreads on a daily basis to make sure we're in a good spot.
spk08: Chris, can you quantify what the portfolio premiums are today for industrial and whether or not you see the same impact in healthcare and retail? Sure, I'll actually let John jump in on there and he can talk a little bit about that. Sorry, John, can you repeat that? I'm having an audio problem too. Oh, no worries. Portfolio premiums, we're seeing it in industrial, but I'm wondering if you're also seeing it in healthcare and retail and other asset classes that you look at and if you can quantify what those portfolio premiums are.
spk07: Yeah, no, absolutely. We're certainly seeing portfolio premiums. something that we've been talking about the last few weeks at our investment committees in terms of our strategy for the year, looking for opportunities where we can focus on one-off, both in the retail IG and other places where we aren't going to be seeing that. In terms of quantifying, that's a little hard. It depends on what sort of asset class you're talking about, but anything from 20 to 25, even up to 50 basis points of premium on a portfolio wouldn't be out of the question on some of these things. So that's why we continue to think that the diversified investment strategy, focusing on granular assets and having the opportunity to be able to go after both the small retail IG strategy, as well as some of the smaller healthcare and industrial assets and healthcare assets that don't fit within some of our peers' strategies, just given the volumes that they're looking to do, we think is a real differentiator for us and our ability to hit our goals for the year.
spk08: And on your cold storage investments, are there anything about the lease structures where you would take on additional operational or capex risks versus your standard industrial lease?
spk07: No, they fall right in line with the standard industrial lease. Our cold storage assets are pretty different from some of the pure play cold storage folks, really more owner-operated type of assets that Chris talked about in his remarks relative to the food production and distribution space.
spk06: And a lot of times, thank you just to build on that the cold storage spaces, you know, proportion of the building where food processing might be happening and 50% 50% might be cold storage as well for longer term storage. So it's a little bit of a different mix, but but an incredibly important part of the industrial chain.
spk08: Appreciate the color. Thank you. Thanks, John.
spk02: Thank you, Mr. Kim. The next question is from the line of Caitlin Burrells with Goldman Sachs. Please proceed.
spk01: Hi, good afternoon. Maybe just on acquisition volumes, the 700 to 800 million of assumed acquisition volumes for 22 is up about 15% from last year. So can you go through what you expect the team will do differently this year in order to achieve that and speak to your confidence? For example, have you hired people, plan to focus on larger deals, less competition, or what could just help drive that increased activity?
spk07: Yeah, Caitlin, I think a lot of it has to do with the team sort of settling into roles. We went through some changes last year in how we were focusing on new opportunities. The team itself has had over a year now of getting back into the swing of things. As you recall from leading up to the IPO, we were out of the acquisitions market for about a year before then. So there was a little bit of getting back into things. flow of things and sort of Q4 of 19, Q1, Q2 of 21, excuse me, of Q4 of 20 and Q1, Q2 of 21. And so now we feel like we're hitting on all cylinders. You know, the sort of average quarter for us over the last four quarters is in that 190 million range. So we feel very comfortable about what this team can do. The team we think can easily do up to a billion in a year. So we think we're a little short of that in terms of our overall goal, but we certainly could expand from there. And so I think it's just really sort of flowing with the team and gelling a little bit better as we've had more opportunities. And then if you look at the individual strategies, we continue to be looking at the portfolios. But, you know, we love the ability to add some scale through the portfolios, but we want to be mindful of the portfolio premiums that are out there. So as much as we're chasing the larger portfolios and those opportunities, We really like some of the larger single-site assets that are out on the market and continue to be right in our wheelhouse in the industrial and healthcare space. And then we also really like the opportunity to go really granular and focus on the individual retail and those IG assets that we have. And I think all of that culminates into what you see is that strong pipeline heading into Q1 and then looking at that sort of call it $175 million for Q2 through Q4 from there.
spk01: Got it. Okay. And then just in terms of timing, I know a single year doesn't necessarily matter so much, but I know peers in the past have pointed out that a given year's earnings can be heavily impacted by the pace of acquisitions and that 4Q ends up often being the most active. But looking at year 21 activity, it doesn't look like acquisitions necessarily built over the course of the year. And I think you guys even just said that 1Q was off to kind of a stronger start than you may normally think for 1Q. So Just wondering what your experience has been with seasonality of acquisitions and pace or not, and what kind of pace is assumed for this year?
spk07: Yeah, I think the seasonality is something that we're actually trying to combat a little bit. We certainly in our past saw that a lot where, you know, a huge portion of our acquisition volume happened in the fourth quarter. And as you just pointed out, Caitlin, that wasn't the case this year. We started focusing on Q1 acquisitions in about the November timeframe with the intention of trying to smooth that out so we didn't have the same type of seasonality that you would traditionally see with a big, huge fourth quarter and then a very light first quarter. And that's something that we're starting to do now. You know, the first quarter for us is pretty well baked in terms of how we think it's going to shake out. And so we've already have and started a couple of weeks ago shifting our focus with our acquisition folks and with our investment committee to think about all right, what are those things that we can hit early in Q2 and throughout Q2? And we'll continue that type of cadence throughout the entire year, looking to make sure that we're constantly taking that 90 to 120 day outlook, carrying it through and trying to smooth that process out a little bit and avoid what has been historically some of that seasonality.
spk01: And maybe just the last one, I know that office hasn't historically been part of your kind of core target acquisition types, but in the quarter you guys did do the small restaurant portfolio with their office so just wondering if you could talk about that a little and to what extent you think that office property being part of the portfolio limited potential other competition and how that does end up working out well for broadstone and maybe um to what extent you think there are other opportunities like that out there in restaurants or otherwise when office might be lumped in hey caitlin it's chris um you know it's interesting i could
spk06: continually gave the example that we might do an industrial portfolio with a small office mixed into it, and then we turn out to do a restaurant deal that has their corporate office sitting across the parcel from it. So I guess you should never predict too much as to what will happen. But I think from our view on the office front, there is still the opportunity to have certain examples like we had in the fourth quarter on sort of a mixed sale lease back where you might pick up an office and you underwrite the entire group. It hasn't happened quite as much as we expected during the year, but it was a differentiator for us in that transaction with the restaurant operator. And clearly everybody was focused on that piece of it and our willingness to be creative and wrap it into the master lease and have that exposure was important for us. know i think here and there it can continue to prop up and and then if there was a larger diversified portfolio that would also be fine you know in general we did take a hard look at the office space again in leading up to our board meeting and our real estate investment committee and you know hadn't hadn't really seen anything that particularly um was attractive um relative to the to the broader opportunity sets and some of the other property types and and we obviously are continuing to be cautious so We wanted to make sure we weren't missing anything, but didn't really find anything that was a particularly good fit there. And then as we just continue to look at our own portfolio, we would expect one office sale later in the year. And we'll talk about that when we get there. But otherwise, just continuing to monitor the utilization levels and the tenants that way. So that's where we are in office at the moment.
spk01: Got it. Okay, thanks.
spk02: Thank you for your question. The next question comes from the line of Kim Ben Kim, The Truth. Please proceed.
spk09: Thanks. Good afternoon. So, Chris, coming out of IPO over a year ago, I mean, you guys hit your stride and the cost of capital only moved in one direction, improving. And lately, obviously, that's kind of reversed. So, as a new public CEO, I was wondering if you had any high-level observations or lessons learned and how you think about um, funding your business, you know, in the, in the reality where your cost of capital isn't as quite as, uh, quite as attractive.
spk06: Yeah, absolutely. I mean, sort of talked about it a little bit earlier. I mean, from our view, um, there is always a very intense, uh, focus on, on the risk adjusted spreads that we're investing at. And, um, clearly that changes each and every day, depending on what's going on with the share price and whether we're issuing equity or where the debt markets are and whatnot. And, you know, I've seen some spread compression there. I think where we sit today, we feel like some of the choices we made to maintain a low leverage profile and have a lot of flexibility there to be, you know, what, 5.1 times this quarter and still having the ability to go to, you know, our target in the mid fives gives us that cost of capital flexibility and having capital on hand to continue to invest. As we move forward, we really need to continue to think about and make sure that the spreads we're putting on the board for Q1 and Q2 make sense both from a risk-adjusted perspective and from a capital markets perspective. It's really about using all those tools that we gained by coming public and adjusting in real time. That's a big part of what our acquisition team and what John and the investment committee are always focusing on is not only where our capital was priced when we raised recent blocks of it, but where we are going to be investing that 90 and 120 days out. And so it's a dynamic process and one that we continue to adjust to. And we feel good that where we are today and where our acquisition opportunity lies and resides, that we can hit those acquisition goals based on what we see in the market without taking any outsized risk and
spk05: know changing our our acquisition parameters and so that gives us some good confidence going into the year and implicit in your guidance are you assuming leverage um stays relatively flat um i'll let ryan jump in there sure um hey kevin i'd say we're assuming that leverage isn't about the mid fives okay
spk09: And the last one for me, your coverage ratio for your restaurant segment declined a little bit. Just wondering if you can provide some details around that.
spk06: Sure. Had a conversation with our credit team on that. Really what we saw just during the quarter and the numbers you're seeing printed there, just as a reminder, because there's a lag in reporting, are Q3 numbers from the tenants. And really what we saw was a little bit of a reversion from the fast food or cash or quick service side there. Those guys were running in an aggregate more of like a four times coverage, which is astronomical. And it's in our experience. And I think they just with a little bit of a slowdown and drive through business was came back to like a little bit of a high three zone. And that saw a portfolio adjustment at, uh by the that 0.3 that you referenced and you know from our perspective three 3.2 times coverage is still exceptionally strong and we'd be um you know even comfortable below that but uh that was just a little bit of change that they we we heard from uh tenants during the quarter okay thank you thanks kevin thank you mr kim the next question is from the line of ronald camden
spk02: With Morgan Stanley, please proceed.
spk03: Hey, just going back to the sort of the pipeline and just focusing on industrials a little bit, you know, can you talk about sort of light manufacturing and sort of what the cap rate trends are there? Because I know you've talked a little bit about sort of cap rate compression, I guess. I just want to zoom in on the industrial space specifically. Thanks.
spk07: Mm-hmm.
spk06: Go ahead, John.
spk07: Hey, Ron. Yeah, I would say... We continue to see, at least in terms of the type of industrial that we traditionally have gone after, we're looking at mid fives. Overall, in terms of the industrial space, there still continues to be some opportunities in the high fives, low sixes. We also look at some things in the low fives, but overall, I'd say sort of the average that we're looking at for the types of things that we go after and like for our portfolio, it's probably more in that mid five range.
spk03: Great. And then, you know, the other question was, you know, obviously you've talked about looking at different asset classes, you know, outside of the four that you're doing, but would you also look at ground leases? Is that something that you guys have looked at in the past that you would consider? Just curious what your thoughts are on ground leases.
spk07: Yeah, we've done a deep dive on ground leases. It actually was a topic at our board meetings and investment committee recently. It's something that we think is really interesting because, but it's one for us right now that we are really only looking at on an opportunistic basis. You know, we have a handful in the portfolio already, but nothing significant to material to talk about there. But, you know, as we come across potential opportunities, we certainly are looking at them, but it's not something that we're currently thinking about as something more programmatic.
spk03: Great. That's it for me. Thanks so much.
spk06: Thanks, Ron.
spk02: Thank you, Mr. Kempner. Once again, ladies and gentlemen, to ask a question, please press star followed by one. Again, to ask a question, press star one. We have a follow-up question from the line of Caitlin Burrows. Please proceed.
spk01: Hi again. Could you just go through, you mentioned the split of property types for acquisitions in 2021 was over 50% industrial, maybe like mid 20s for retail and healthcare with just a little restaurant. Can you go through how you expect that to change this year and what will drive it? Is it just where the opportunities are, cap rate differences or something else?
spk06: Yeah, absolutely. So we were, as you said, about 50% industrial. I would probably expect that to be reasonably in line. I mean, I think by virtue of some of the industrial assets being a little bit chunkier on a per-site basis, that shows through pretty well. Restaurants was pretty low at 4%. That probably moves its way up with just some of the things that we've been thinking about in the pipeline and whatnot. And then as we continue to be focused on sort of our small one-off retail investment grade program, that could also have a little bit of movement there. At the moment, John referenced that we're definitely focused and looking for more healthcare opportunities, but don't have any specifically in the pipeline. So that could be a laggard. And I think that's probably more of a supply issue on that front with sort of our unique focus on the few different verticals there. I would expect industrial to be consistent healthcare to perhaps be a little bit on the low side and restaurant and retail maybe climbing a little bit.
spk01: And then just on the dispositions, I know you mentioned earlier that you could dispose of an office property this year. Maybe could you go through the other potential dispositions that are anticipated in guidance? And would you say that it's more a function of kind of portfolio management rather than necessarily funding acquisitions? That's correct, yes. characteristics of the properties you're going to sell.
spk06: Absolutely. So no, I agree. I agree. It is more of a portfolio management exercise. So embedded in our thinking and disposition plan for the year is that one office asset and then kind of consistent with 2021, a few restaurant assets that are in mass releases that might be on the weaker side and an opportunity to tighten those up and bring our coverage ratios up a little bit further. And then we're also uh looking at selling uh two of our vacant assets as well um and so those would sort of round out the the dispo plan is where the where the team sits today and then we um you know continue to think about others but uh but i think that encompasses the guidance range we gave you got it okay thanks yep thank you mr rose there are no additional questions waiting in the queue i will now pass the conference back to chris zarnecki
spk02: for closing remarks.
spk06: Wonderful. Thank you so much. Appreciate everybody taking some time to hear what was a very exciting and fulfilling year here at Broadstone Net Lease. We're very excited about where 2022 is going and look forward to seeing you all soon, either in person on some of the conferences or on the Q1 earnings call in May. We'll talk to you soon. Thank you.
spk02: Ladies and gentlemen, that concludes the Broadstone Net Lease fourth quarter conference call. Enjoy the rest of your day.
