FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

W. P. Carey Announces Second Quarter 2013 Financial Results

New York, NY – August 6, 2013 – W. P. Carey Inc. (NYSE: WPC), a real estate investment trust (“REIT”), today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2013.

During the second quarter of 2013, the Company:

·                  Reported Funds from operations—as adjusted (“AFFO”) of $1.05 per diluted share

·                  Acquired three properties for approximately $113 million

·                  Structured $305 million of investments on behalf of the Managed REITs

·                  Raised its annualized dividend rate to $3.36 per share, WPC’s 49th consecutive quarterly increase

Subsequent to the second quarter, the Company:

·                  Announced a merger agreement with Corporate Property Associates 16 – Global Incorporated (“CPA®:16 – Global”)

·                  Structured $196 million of investments on behalf of the Managed REITs through August 1, 2013

·                  Entered into a new unsecured term loan agreement of $300 million and used the proceeds primarily to repay the $250 million outstanding on its existing Revolving Credit Facility on July 31, 2013

QUARTERLY RESULTS

·                  AFFO for the second quarter of 2013 was $72.6 million or $1.05 per diluted share, compared to $27.8 million or $0.68 per diluted share for the second quarter of 2012. AFFO for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $144.9 million or $2.07 per diluted share, compared to $67.9 million or $1.66 per diluted share for the comparable period in 2012. The increased AFFO in the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the same periods in 2012 was primarily due to income from the properties we acquired in our merger with CPA®:15 on September 28, 2012 (the “CPA®:15 Merger”) partially offset by the cessation of asset management revenue received from CPA®:15 after the CPA®:15 Merger was completed. Per share data for the 2013 periods also reflects the issuance of 28.2 million shares in connection with the CPA®:15 Merger to the stockholders of CPA®:15. Further information concerning AFFO, a non-GAAP supplemental performance metric, is presented in the accompanying tables and related notes.

·                  Total revenues net of reimbursed expenses for the second quarter of 2013 were $103.6 million, compared to $46.6 million for the second quarter of 2012. Total revenues net of reimbursed expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2013 were $204.1 million, compared to $96.2 million for the comparable period in 2012. Reimbursed expenses are excluded from total revenues because they have no impact on net income.

·                  Net Income for the second quarter of 2013 was $43.2 million, compared to $31.8 million for the same period in 2012. Net Income for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $57.3 million, compared to $44.1 million for the prior year period.

·                  For the quarter ended June 30, 2013, we received approximately $15.6 million in cash distributions from our equity ownership in the CPA® REITs including $8.7 million in Available Cash distributions related to our special general partnership interests in the CPA® REITs.

Proposed Merger with CPA®:16 – GLOBAL

·                  On July 25, 2013, we announced that our Board of Directors and the Board of Directors of our publicly held, non-traded REIT affiliate CPA®:16 – Global, had each unanimously approved a merger agreement pursuant to which CPA®:16 – Global will merge with and into a subsidiary of W. P. Carey in a transaction valued at approximately $4.0 billion, including debt.

·                  Following the proposed merger, the combined company is expected to have an equity market capitalization of approximately $6.5 billion and a total enterprise value of approximately $10.1 billion. The combined portfolio will consist of more than 700 properties with 86 million square feet of corporate real estate leased to 231 companies around the world.

·                  The proposed merger is subject to SEC review and the approvals of the stockholders of each of W. P. Carey and CPA®:16 – Global. CPA®:16 – Global has a 30-day go-shop period. We currently expect that the closing will occur in the first quarter of 2014, although there can be no assurance that the transaction will close at such time, if at all.

Non-GAAP Financial Disclosure

Funds from operations (“FFO”) is a non-GAAP measure defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”). NAREIT defines FFO as net income or loss (as computed in accordance with GAAP) excluding: depreciation and amortization expense from real estate assets, impairment charges on real estate, gains or losses from sales of depreciated real estate assets and extraordinary items; however FFO related to assets held for sale, sold or otherwise transferred and included in the results of discontinued operations are included. These adjustments also incorporate the pro rata share of unconsolidated subsidiaries. FFO is used by management, investors and analysts to facilitate meaningful comparisons of operating performance between periods and among our peers. Although NAREIT has published this definition of FFO, companies often modify this definition as they seek to provide financial measures that meaningfully reflect their distinctive operations. We modify the NAREIT computation of FFO to include other adjustments to GAAP net income to adjust for certain non-cash charges such as amortization of intangibles, deferred income tax benefits and expenses, straight-line rents, stock compensation, gains or losses from extinguishment of debt and deconsolidation of subsidiaries and unrealized foreign currency exchange gains and losses. 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 expenses related to the CPA®:15 Merger and realized gain/losses on foreign exchange and 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 as they are not the primary drivers in our decision making process and excluding those items provides investors a view of our portfolio performance over time and make it more comparable to other REITs which are currently not engaged in acquisitions and mergers. 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 because it will help them to better assess the sustainability of our operating performance without potentially distorting the 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.
