Here are 1-2 brief analogies to describe Getty Realty (GTY):

• Realty Income for gas stations and convenience stores.
• National Retail Properties (NNN) for automotive service locations.

• Commercial Property Leasing: Getty Realty provides the service of leasing its diverse portfolio of strategically located real estate properties to operators primarily in the motor fuel and convenience store industries.

Getty Realty (GTY) primarily sells to other companies, specifically operators of convenience stores, gas stations, and other automotive properties. As a real estate investment trust (REIT), GTY leases its properties to these companies.

Based on their 2023 10-K filing, Getty Realty has a diversified tenant base with no single tenant accounting for more than 10% of its annualized contractual rent. Its major customers, comprising some of its largest tenants, include:

• EG America, LLC: A subsidiary of EG Group, a private company headquartered in the UK.
• 7-Eleven, Inc.: A subsidiary of Seven & i Holdings Co., Ltd. (TYO: 3382). While 7-Eleven, Inc. itself is not publicly traded in the U.S., its Japanese parent company is.
• Alimentation Couche-Tard Inc. (operating brands such as Couche-Tard and Circle K): TSX: ATD (Parent company listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange).

• Parkland Corporation: TSX: PKI.

The accelerating global transition to electric vehicles (EVs) poses a clear emerging threat to Getty Realty. As EV adoption increases and governments and automakers commit to phasing out internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles, the long-term demand for gasoline is expected to decline significantly. Getty Realty's portfolio is heavily concentrated in properties leased to gas station and convenience store operators, whose core business relies on gasoline sales. A substantial decrease in gasoline demand directly threatens the profitability and viability of these tenant businesses, potentially leading to declining rental income, lease defaults, and reduced asset values for GTY's properties, which are specifically designed and optimized for gasoline sales. While some sites may be repurposed for EV charging or other uses, this often requires significant capital investment and may not yield equivalent rental income, fundamentally challenging the existing business model reliant on petroleum-based fuel sales.

Getty Realty (GTY) specializes in the acquisition, financing, and development of convenience, automotive, and other single-tenant retail real estate across the United States. Its primary focus areas include convenience stores, gas stations, and car washes.

Getty Realty (GTY) is anticipated to drive future revenue growth over the next 2-3 years through several key strategies:

• Strategic Property Acquisitions and Investments: Getty Realty consistently invests in acquiring new convenience and automotive retail properties, including convenience stores, car washes, auto service centers, and drive-thru quick service restaurants (QSRs). For instance, in the third quarter of 2025, the company invested $56.3 million across 29 properties, with an additional $103.4 million subsequent to the quarter end.

Approximately 99.2% of their leases are subject to rent escalation, with an average annual rent escalation rate of about 1.8%. This provides a stable and predictable organic growth in rental revenue from its existing portfolio.
• Portfolio Diversification and Expansion: The company is actively diversifying its portfolio across various property types within the convenience and automotive retail sectors, such as car washes, auto service, and drive-thru QSRs, beyond its traditional convenience stores. This strategy allows Getty Realty to tap into new growth markets and reduce concentration risk, with a focus on acquiring strong real estate in the top 50 markets across the United States.
• Expansion with Existing and New Tenants: Getty Realty focuses on expanding its relationships with existing tenants and attracting new tenants to its portfolio. This approach leverages direct tenant relationships and underwriting expertise to identify new opportunities, contributing to a diversified tenant base and sustained occupancy rates.
