Acquisitions completed during the quarter had a weighted-average remaining lease term of 8.8 years, with 68.7% of the properties occupied by investment grade rated tenants and 11.9% occupied by tenants with investment grade profiles (unrated tenants with more than $1.0 billion in annual sales and a debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio of less than 2.0x)
For the fourth quarter, the Company completed 12 dispositions for a total aggregate contractual sales price of $37 million, which equates to a 6.6% cash capitalization rate on occupied properties

As a result of NETSTREIT's investment and asset management activities, the Company's tenant diversification and tenant risk profile was enhanced throughout 2020. The Company's ABR exposure to its largest tenant (7-Eleven, Baa1/AA- rated) was 8.9% as of December 31, 2020, as compared to 11.8% for its largest tenant (CVS Health, Baa2/BBB rated) as of December 31, 2019.
The Company's exposure to the casual dining sector was reduced from 4.5% to 2.2% over the same time period
The Company continues to have no exposure to any theater, health club or early childhood education tenants.
Balance Sheet:
Ended the year with no outstanding balance on the Company's revolving line of credit and a cash balance, including funds in 1031 exchange accounts, of $93 million
Completed a LIBOR swap to hedge floating rate exposure on the entire balance of the Company's $175 million outstanding term loan through its December 2024 maturity
"After a landmark year in which we completed our 144A private offering, created a public company platform, and closed our initial public offering, we are very pleased with all we have accomplished at NETSTREIT in 2020. Our portfolio operations, including collections, remain extremely strong and reflect the portfolio quality and defensive asset characteristics that are at the core of our strategy. Further, our performance in 2020 on both acquisitions and dispositions provides us with a significantly larger, more resilient and diversified asset base to support outsized growth as we begin 2021," said Mark Manheimer, Chief Executive Officer of NETSTREIT. "We are very proud of our entire team and could not have achieved our success in 2020 without their hard work. We believe we enter the new year very well positioned to further build on our accomplishments."
The Company is introducing the following external growth targets for full year 2021:
The Company expects net acquisition activity, inclusive of dispositions, to total $320 million
The Company expects to continue to review its portfolio and complete opportunistic dispositions to further improve portfolio diversification and mitigate risk
