MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY

"We continue to perform well on a number of fronts, with same store rent growth reaching a new high and increased expectations for the investment volume we can achieve this year," said Jason Fox, Chief Executive Officer of W. P. Carey. "And the outperformance of our stock has enabled us to enter into additional equity forwards at prices that partly offset the impact of higher interest rates on our investment spreads.

"With ample liquidity and cap rates moving higher, we're confident in our ability to continue successfully navigating a dynamic market backdrop during the latter half of the year. We're also on track to close our merger with CPA:18 on August 1, and expect to be to the high end of our original accretion estimates — which, along with our performance year to date, is reflected in our raised full-year AFFO guidance.

"Lastly, amid an uncertain economic outlook, we believe we remain uniquely positioned within net lease, given the inflation protection inherent in our portfolio and the proven stability of its cash flows."

 

QUARTERLY FINANCIAL RESULTS

Revenues

  • Total Company: Revenues, including reimbursable costs, for the 2022 second quarter totaled $344.4 million, up 7.7% from $319.7 million for the 2021 second quarter.
      
  • Real Estate: Real Estate revenues, including reimbursable costs, for the 2022 second quarter were $339.8 million, up 7.9% from $314.8 million for the 2021 second quarter, due primarily to higher lease revenues resulting from net acquisitions and rent escalations, partly offset by the impact of a stronger U.S. dollar relative to foreign currencies, primarily the euro.

Note: Starting with the 2021 fourth quarter, income from direct financing leases and loans receivable are presented on a separate line item on the consolidated statements of income (for both current and prior year periods). Prior to the 2021 fourth quarter, the Company presented income from direct financing leases within lease revenues and income from loans receivable within lease termination income and other.

Net Income Attributable to W. P. Carey

  • Net income attributable to W. P. Carey for the 2022 second quarter was $127.7 million, up 6.2% from $120.2 million for the 2021 second quarter. Net income from Real Estate attributable to W. P. Carey was $123.2 million, which increased due primarily to a non-cash mark-to-market gain of $15.4 million recognized on our investment in common stock of Watermark Lodging Trust (WLT), a higher aggregate gain on sale of real estate and the impact of net acquisitions and rent escalations, partly offset by the net impact of a stronger U.S. dollar relative to foreign currencies, primarily the euro, and impairment charges recognized during the current year period.

Adjusted Funds from Operations (AFFO)

  • AFFO for the 2022 second quarter was $1.31 per diluted share, up 3.1% from $1.27 per diluted share for the 2021 second quarter, driven by the company's Real Estate segment, which generated AFFO of $1.27 per diluted share, primarily reflecting higher lease revenues resulting from net investment activity and rent escalations. These increases were partly offset by the net impact of a stronger U.S. dollar relative to foreign currencies, primarily the euro, and accrued dividends received during the prior year period on preferred shares of WLT, which were redeemed in the 2022 first quarter.

Note: Further information concerning AFFO and Real Estate AFFO, which are both non-GAAP supplemental performance metrics, is presented in the accompanying tables and related notes.

Dividend

  • As previously announced, on June 16, 2022, the Company's Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $1.059 per share, equivalent to an annualized dividend rate of $4.236 per share. The dividend was paid on July 15, 2022 to stockholders of record as of June 30, 2022.
 

AFFO GUIDANCE

  • For the 2022 full year, the Company has raised and narrowed its guidance for total AFFO to between $5.22 and $5.30 per diluted share, including Real Estate AFFO with a guidance range of between $5.13 and $5.21 per diluted share, based on the following key assumptions:

(i)   investments for the Company's Real Estate portfolio of between $1.75 billion and $2.25 billion, which has been revised higher;

(ii)  dispositions from the Company's Real Estate portfolio of between $250 million and $350 million, which is unchanged;

(iii)  total general and administrative expenses of between $88 million and $91 million, which has been revised higher; and

(iv)  includes the expected impact of the Company's proposed merger with CPA:18

Note: The Company does not provide guidance on net income. The Company only provides guidance on total AFFO (and Real Estate AFFO) and does not provide a reconciliation of this forward-looking non-GAAP guidance to net income due to the inherent difficulty in quantifying certain items necessary to provide such reconciliation as a result of their unknown effect, timing and potential significance. Examples of such items include impairments of assets, gains and losses from sales of assets, and depreciation and amortization from new acquisitions.

 

REAL ESTATE

Investments

  • Year to date, the Company has completed investments totaling $1.1 billion, including $477.8 million during the 2022 second quarter and $307.6 million subsequent to quarter end, comprising sale-leasebacks totaling $281.9 million and the completion of a $25.7 million capital investment.
      
  • Currently, the Company has four capital investments and commitments totaling $97.4 million and construction loan funding of $37.7 million, scheduled to be completed during the remainder of 2022, for an aggregate total of $135.1 million.

Dispositions

  • During the 2022 second quarter, the Company disposed of eight properties for gross proceeds of $92.7 million, bringing total disposition proceeds for the six months ended June 30, 2022 to $119.4 million.

COVID-19 Update on Rent Collections

  • The Company received over 99.6% of contractual base rent that was due in the 2022 second quarter.

Composition

  • As of June 30, 2022, the Company's net lease portfolio consisted of 1,357 properties, comprising 161 million square feet leased to 356 tenants, with a weighted-average lease term of 11.0 years and an occupancy rate of 99.1%. In addition, the Company owned 19 self-storage operating properties and one hotel operating property, totaling approximately 1.4 million square feet.

 

BALANCE SHEET AND CAPITALIZATION

"At-The-Market" (ATM) Program

  • During the 2022 second quarter, the Company issued 491,068 shares of common stock under its ATM program at a weighted-average price of $81.70 per share, for net proceeds of $39 million.
      
  • This activity brought issuances under the Company's ATM program during the six months ended June 30, 2022 to 2,740,295 shares of common stock at a weighted-average price of $80.79 per share, for net proceeds of approximately $218 million.

 Forward Equity

  • During the 2022 second quarter, the Company used forward sale agreements under its ATM program to sell 3,674,187 shares of common stock at a weighted-average gross price of $83.98 per share, all of which remain available for settlement, for anticipated net proceeds of approximately $301 million.
      
  • As of June 30, 2022, the Company continued to have 3,925,000 shares available for settlement pursuant to forward sale agreements previously entered into, for anticipated net proceeds of approximately $285 million.

Increase in Capacity of Senior Unsecured Credit Facility

  • As previously announced, during the 2022 second quarter, the Company entered into a Second Amendment to its Credit Agreement, exercising a portion of the Accordion Feature on its Senior Unsecured Credit Facility to increase (i) the amount outstanding on its Term Loan by £120 million to £270 million (approximately $350 million USD equivalent) and (ii) the amount outstanding on its Delayed Draw Term Loan by €118.5 million to €215 million (approximately $230 million USD equivalent), thereby increasing the total capacity of the Senior Unsecured Credit Facility from approximately $2.1 billion to approximately $2.4 billion.
      
  • The Company used the proceeds from this increase in capacity to partially repay amounts outstanding under its Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility. There were no other changes to the terms of the Credit Agreement.

Green Bond Allocation Report

  • Since quarter end, on July 27, 2022, the Company published an allocation report regarding the $350 million of green bonds it issued in October 2021, reporting that proceeds were 100% allocated to eligible green projects and entirely to properties with either BREEAM "Very Good" or LEED "Gold" ratings, or better.

 

PROPOSED MERGER WITH CPA:18

  • As previously announced, on July 26, 2022, the Company's proposed merger with CPA:18 was approved by the stockholders of CPA:18, in a transaction initially estimated to be valued at approximately $2.7 billion and expected to add approximately $2.0 billion of assets after proposed asset sales, the substantial majority of which have been completed.
      
  • The Company currently expects the proposed merger to close on August 1, 2022.

Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements and COVID-19 Update on Rent Collections

Certain of the matters discussed in this communication constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, both as amended by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The forward-looking statements include, among other things, statements regarding the intent, belief or expectations of the Company and can be identified by the use of words such as "may," "will," "should," "would," "will be," "goals," "believe," "project," "expect," "anticipate," "intend," "estimate" "opportunities," "possibility," "strategy," "maintain" or the negative version of these words and other comparable terms. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding: the statements made by Mr. Jason Fox regarding our investment volume and the potential benefits of an inflationary environment and any other comments made by representatives of WPC; the anticipated benefits of the proposed merger with CPA:18; our ability to close the proposed merger; the impact of the proposed merger on our earnings and on our credit profile; the strategic rationale and transaction benefits; and other statements that are not historical facts.

These statements are based on the current expectations of our management, and it is important to note that our actual results could be materially different from those projected in such forward-looking statements. There are a number of factors that could have material adverse effects on our future results, performance or achievements and cause our actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. These factors include, but are not limited to, the timing of consummation of the proposed merger, the ability to achieve anticipated benefits and savings, risks related to the potential disruption of management's attention due to the pending merger, operating results and businesses generally, the outcome of any legal proceedings related to the proposed merger and the general risks associated with the respective businesses of W. P. Carey and CPA:18 including the general volatility of the capital markets, terms and employment of capital, the volatility of W. P. Carey's share price, changes in the real estate investment trust industry, interest rates or general economy, potential adverse effects or changes to the relationships with W. P. Carey or CPA:18 tenants, employees, service providers or other parties resulting from the announcement or completion of the proposed merger, unpredictability and severity of catastrophic events, including but not limited to the risks related to the effects of pandemics and global outbreaks of contagious diseases (such as the current COVID-19 pandemic) and domestic or geopolitical crises, such as terrorism, military conflict (including the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the global response to it), war or the perception that hostilities may be imminent, political instability or civil unrest, or other conflict. Discussions of some of these other important factors and assumptions are contained in W. P. Carey's filings with the SEC and are available at the SEC's website at http://www.sec.gov, including Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in W. P. Carey's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, and Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors in W. P. Carey's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2022. Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this communication, unless noted otherwise. Except as required under the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations of the SEC, W. P. Carey does not undertake any obligation to release publicly any revisions to the forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this communication or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

In addition, given the significant uncertainty regarding the duration and severity of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company is unable to predict its tenants' continued ability to pay rent. Therefore, information provided regarding historical rent collections should not serve as an indication of expected future rent collections.

Additional Information and Where to Find It

Non-GAAP Financial Disclosure

Funds from Operations (FFO) and Adjusted Funds from Operations (AFFO)

Due to certain unique operating characteristics of real estate companies, as discussed below, the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, Inc. (NAREIT), an industry trade group, has promulgated a non-GAAP measure known as FFO, which we believe to be an appropriate supplemental measure, when used in addition to and in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP, to reflect the operating performance of a REIT. The use of FFO is recommended by the REIT industry as a supplemental non-GAAP measure. FFO is not equivalent to, nor a substitute for, net income or loss as determined under GAAP.

We define FFO, a non-GAAP measure, consistent with the standards established by the White Paper on FFO approved by the Board of Governors of NAREIT, as restated in December 2018. The White Paper defines FFO as net income or loss computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains or losses from sales of property, impairment charges on real estate, gains or losses on changes in control of interests in real estate and depreciation and amortization from real estate assets; and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and jointly owned investments. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and jointly owned investments are calculated to reflect FFO.

We also modify the NAREIT computation of FFO to adjust GAAP net income for certain non-cash charges, such as amortization of real estate-related intangibles, deferred income tax benefits and expenses, straight-line rent and related reserves, other non-cash rent adjustments, non-cash allowance for credit losses on loans receivable and direct financing leases, stock-based compensation, non-cash environmental accretion expense, amortization of discounts and premiums on debt and amortization of deferred financing costs. Our assessment of our operations is focused on long-term sustainability and not on such non-cash items, which may cause short-term fluctuations in net income but have no impact on cash flows. Additionally, we exclude non-core income and expenses, such as gains or losses from extinguishment of debt and merger and acquisition expenses. We also exclude realized and unrealized gains/losses on foreign currency exchange rate movements (other than those realized on the settlement of foreign currency derivatives), which are not considered fundamental attributes of our business plan and do not affect our overall long-term operating performance. We refer to our modified definition of FFO as AFFO. We exclude these items from GAAP net income to arrive at AFFO as they are not the primary drivers in our decision-making process and excluding these items provides investors a view of our portfolio performance over time and makes it more comparable to other REITs that are currently not engaged in acquisitions, mergers and restructuring, which are not part of our normal business operations. AFFO also reflects adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and jointly owned investments. We use AFFO as one measure of our operating performance when we formulate corporate goals, evaluate the effectiveness of our strategies and determine executive compensation.

We believe that AFFO is a useful supplemental measure for investors to consider as we believe it will help them to better assess the sustainability of our operating performance without the potentially distorting impact of these short-term fluctuations. However, there are limits on the usefulness of AFFO to investors. For example, impairment charges and unrealized foreign currency losses that we exclude may become actual realized losses upon the ultimate disposition of the properties in the form of lower cash proceeds or other considerations. We use our FFO and AFFO measures as supplemental financial measures of operating performance. We do not use our FFO and AFFO measures as, nor should they be considered to be, alternatives to net income computed under GAAP, or as alternatives to net cash provided by operating activities computed under GAAP, or as indicators of our ability to fund our cash needs.
