Theater Industry Update 

For the third quarter 2022, we collected approximately 85% of the contractual rent⁽¹⁾ across our theater portfolio as Cineworld Group plc ("Cineworld"), the parent entity of the entities that lease certain of our theater properties, including Regal Cinemas, commenced Chapter 11 reorganization proceedings during the month of September 2022 and, as is customary in this jurisdiction pursuant to the proceedings of the bankruptcy court, was not yet required to pay rent for the month of September. However, for the month of October 2022, we have collected all of the contractual rent across our theater portfolio.

As of September 2022, we had cumulative reserves of $23.5 million on properties leased to Cineworld and its affiliates. These reserves, representing a reduction of rental revenue, primarily relate to contractual rent and expense recoveries recorded during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and exclude straight-line rent reserves. Total receivables from Cineworld and its affiliates were $31.0 million at September 30, 2022, net of reserves and excluding straight line rent receivables, and include both deferred contractual rent and deferred expense recoveries.

⁽¹⁾ We define contractual rent as the monthly aggregate cash amount charged to clients, inclusive of monthly base rent receivables. Charged amounts have not been adjusted for any COVID-19 related rent relief granted and includes contractual rent from any clients in bankruptcy.

Dividend Increases 

In September 2022, we announced the 100^th consecutive quarterly dividend increase, which is the 117^th increase in the amount of the dividend since our listing on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) in 1994. The annualized dividend amount as of September 30, 2022 was $2.976 per share. The amount of monthly dividends paid per share increased 5.1% to $0.7425, as compared to $0.7065 for the three months ended September 30, 2021. We distributed $458.6 million in common stock dividends to stockholders during the three months ended September 30, 2022, representing 76.0% of our AFFO of $603.6 million.

Real Estate Portfolio Update

As of September 30, 2022, our portfolio consisted of 11,733 properties located in all 50 U.S. states, Puerto Rico, the U.K. and Spain, and leased to 1,147 clients doing business in 79 industries. We own an actively managed, diversified portfolio of commercial properties under long-term, net lease agreements with a weighted average remaining lease term of approximately 8.8 years. Our portfolio of commercial real estate has historically provided dependable rental revenue supporting the payment of monthly dividends. As of September 30, 2022, portfolio occupancy was 98.9% with 131 properties available for lease or sale, as compared to 98.9% as of June 30, 2022 and 98.8% as of September 30, 2021.

Same Store Rental Revenue
The following summarizes our same store rental revenue for 9,645 properties under lease (dollars in millions):

	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,				% Increase
	2022		2021		2022		2021		Three Months		Nine Months
Rental revenue	$              612.3		$              606.4		$           1,844.2		$          1,801.5		1.0 %		2.4 %

 

For purposes of comparability, same store rental revenue is presented on a constant currency basis using the exchange rate as of September 30, 2022 of 1.11 GBP/USD. None of the properties in Spain met our same store pool definition for the periods presented.

Beginning with the first quarter of 2022, properties acquired through the merger with VEREIT were considered under each element of our Same Store Pool criterion, except for the requirement that the property be owned for the full comparative period. If the property was owned by VEREIT for the full comparative period and each of the other criteria were met, the property was included in our same store property pool. For the definition of Same Store Pool, please see the Glossary to our Supplemental Operating and Financial Data for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, which is available on our corporate website at www.realtyincome.com/investors/quarterly-and-annual-results, for.

Our calculation of same store rental revenue includes rent deferred for future payment as a result of lease concessions we granted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and recognized under the practical expedient provided by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB). Beginning with the first quarter of 2022, properties acquired through the merger with VEREIT were considered under each element of our Same Store Pool criterion, except for the requirement that the property be owned for the full comparative period. If the property was owned by VEREIT for the full comparative period and each of the other criterion were met, the property was included in our same store property pool. Our calculation of same store rental revenue also includes uncollected rent for which we have not granted a lease concession. If these applicable amounts of rent deferrals and uncollected rent were excluded from our calculation of same store rental revenue, the increase for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 relative to the comparable period for 2021 would have been 0.3% and 2.5%, respectively.

Property Dispositions
The following summarizes our property dispositions, excluding our proportionate share of net proceeds from the disposition of properties by our unconsolidated industrial partnerships (dollars in millions):

		Three Months Ended September 30, 2022		Nine Months Ended  September 30, 2022
Properties sold		34		138
Net sales proceeds		$                               142.2		$                                    414.4
Gain on sales of real estate		$                                 42.6		$                                      93.4

During the three months ended September 30, 2022, all seven properties owned by our industrial partnerships acquired in connection with the VEREIT merger were sold. The gross purchase price for the properties was $905.0 million and we collected $113.5 million of net proceeds (after mortgage defeasance and closing costs) during the three months ended September 30, 2022, representing our proportionate share of partnership distributions.

Liquidity and Capital Markets

Capital Raising
During the three months ended September 30, 2022, we raised approximately $0.7 billion of proceeds from the sale of common stock at a weighted average price of $73.05 per share, primarily through the sale of approximately 9.5 million shares common stock pursuant to forward sale agreements through our ATM program. As of September 30, 2022, there were approximately 20.0 million shares of common stock subject to forward sale agreements through our ATM program, representing approximately $1.3 billion in gross proceeds (assuming full physical settlement of all outstanding shares of common stock, subject to such forward sale agreements and certain assumptions made with respect to settlement dates), which have been executed at a weighted average initial price of $66.70 per share but not settled. We currently expect to fully settle the outstanding forward sale agreements during the three months ended December 31, 2022.

In October 2022, we issued $750.0 million of 5.625% senior unsecured notes due 2032. The public offering price for the notes was 99.879% of the principal amount for an effective semi-annual yield to maturity of 5.641%. In conjunction with the pricing of this offering, we executed a $600 million U.S. Dollar-to-Euro 10-year cross currency swap, resulting in the receipt of approximately €612 million in proceeds and an effective fixed-rate, Euro-denominated semi-annual yield to maturity of approximately 4.7%. Additionally, we terminated forward starting interest rate swaps totaling $500 million in notional value previously entered into, recognizing a cash settlement gain of approximately $72 million. Giving effect to these contemporaneous transactions, we expect to recognize an effective semi-annual yield to maturity of 3.93% on the overall transaction, including the recognition of the cash settlement gain.

Revolving Credit Facility and Commercial Paper Program
We have a $4.25 billion unsecured revolving credit facility that matures in June 2026 and includes two six-month extensions that can be exercised at our option. The revolving credit facility also has a $1.0 billion expansion feature, which is subject to obtaining lender commitments.

In July 2022, we amended our U.S. dollar-denominated unsecured commercial paper program to increase the maximum aggregate amount of outstanding notes from $1.0 billion to $1.5 billion and established a new Euro-denominated unsecured commercial paper program, which permits us to issue additional unsecured commercial notes up to a maximum aggregate amount of $1.5 billion (or foreign currency equivalent) in U.S. dollars or other foreign currencies. We use our unsecured revolving credit facility as a liquidity backstop for the repayment of the notes issued under these programs.

Liquidity
As of September 30, 2022, we had $2.5 billion of liquidity, consisting of cash and cash equivalents balance of approximately $187.7 million, including £97.8 million denominated in Sterling and €9.6 million denominated in Euro, and $2.3 billion of availability under our revolving credit facility, after deducting $723.8 million in commercial paper borrowings. In addition, there are approximately 20.0 million shares of common stock sold pursuant to forward sale confirmations which we intend to settle during the fourth quarter of 2022, representing approximately $1.3 billion in gross proceeds.

The Annualized Pro Forma Adjustments, which includes transaction accounting adjustments in accordance with U.S GAAP, consists of adjustments to incorporate Adjusted EBITDAre from properties we acquired or stabilized during the applicable quarter and removes Adjusted EBITDAre from properties we disposed of during the applicable quarter, giving pro forma effect to all transactions as if they occurred at the beginning of the applicable period. Our calculation includes all adjustments consistent with the requirements to present Adjusted EBITDAre on a pro forma basis in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X. The annualized Pro Forma Adjustments are consistent with the debt service coverage ratio calculated under financial covenants for our senior unsecured notes. The Annualized Pro Forma Adjustments consist of $68.6 million from properties we acquired or stabilized during the quarter and removes $36.9 million from properties we disposed of during the quarter.
