FrontView REIT Announces Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2024 Results and Initiates 2025 Guidance

In This Article:

DALLAS, March 19, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--FrontView REIT, Inc. (NYSE: FVR) (the "Company", "FrontView", "we", "our", or "us"), today announced its operating results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2024.

MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY

Stephen Preston, Co-CEO, Co-President, and Chairman, commented, "We are pleased to report a very successful first quarter as a public company, demonstrating our ability to drive growth by acquiring over $100 million in high-quality assets at above-market cap rates. Our differentiated sourcing strategy and focus on transacting outside of the competitive public peer landscape—where we instead compete with less sophisticated buyers—continue to pay off. Unlike many public peers facing increased competition, we are benefiting from elevated cap rates in our niche market, partially driven by the stickiness of interest rates for players in the space. This dynamic, coupled with our disciplined approach, enabled us to already lock in forecasted Q1 2025 acquisitions at attractive yields. We are initiating 2025 AFFO per share guidance of $1.20 to $1.26 and remain focused on delivering superior risk-adjusted returns for our shareholders."
