The calculation to determine net income for a real estate company includes impairments and/or gains from the sales of investment properties. Impairments and/or gains on property sales vary from quarter to quarter. This variance can significantly impact net income and period to period comparisons.

FFO Available to Common Stockholders

Funds from Operations (FFO), for the quarter ended December 31, 2013, increased 73.9% to $124.5 million as compared to $71.6 million for the same quarter in 2012. FFO per share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2013, increased 13.0% to $0.61 as compared to $0.54, for the same quarter in 2012.

Normalized Funds from Operations, which is based on FFO adjusted to add back ARCT merger-related costs, for the quarter ended December 31, 2013, increased 68.4% to $124.6 million as compared to $74.0 million, for the same quarter in 2012. Normalized FFO per share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2013, increased 8.9% to $0.61 as compared to $0.56, for the same quarter in 2012.

AFFO Available to Common Stockholders

AFFO, in 2013, increased 68.9% to $463.1 million as compared to $274.2 million for 2012. AFFO per share, for 2013, increased 17.0% to $2.41 as compared to $2.06 for 2012.

The company considers FFO, normalized FFO, and AFFO to be appropriate supplemental measures of a Real Estate Investment Trust’s (REIT’s) operating performance. Realty Income defines FFO consistent with the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trust’s (NAREIT’s) definition, as net income available to common stockholders, plus depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, plus impairments of real estate, reduced by gains on sales of investment properties and extraordinary items. Normalized FFO adds back merger-related costs for the acquisition of ARCT. AFFO further adjusts Normalized FFO for unique revenue and expense items, which the company believes are not as pertinent to the measurement of the company’s ongoing operating performance. See the reconciliation of net income available to common stockholders to FFO, normalized FFO and AFFO on page seven.

CEO Comments on Operating Results

Commenting on Realty Income’s results and real estate operations, Chief Executive Officer, John P. Case said, “We are pleased to report record results for the fourth quarter and for 2013. Revenue significantly increased to over $778 million in 2013, contributing to a 19.3% increase in normalized FFO per share, to $2.41, and a 17% increase in AFFO per share, to $2.41. Record earnings growth also allowed us to increase the dividends paid per share to our shareholders in 2013 by 21.2%, the largest increase in the company’s history. Additionally, our existing portfolio of 3,896 properties continues to perform well with occupancy increasing to 98.2% at the end of 2013, as compared to 97.2% at the end of 2012. We also realized same store rent increases of 1.8% for the fourth quarter, and 1.4% for 2013.

“We completed $1.5 billion in acquisitions for 2013, of which $145.3 million were closed during the fourth quarter. The weighted average remaining lease term of the properties acquired in 2013 was 14 years, and 84% of the acquisitions were retail properties. Including our acquisition of American Realty Capital Trust in January 2013, we invested approximately $4.7 billion in real estate, the highest level of acquisitions in the company’s 45-year history. We funded the 2013 acquisitions by issuing $3.2 billion of common stock, $820 million in unsecured notes with an average maturity of 10 years, and assuming approximately $630 million of existing debt.

We also expanded our unsecured credit facility to $1.5 billion from $1.0 billion, providing us with additional liquidity to fund acquisitions. We are currently anticipating approximately $1.2 billion in acquisitions for 2014. As of February 12, 2014, we have borrowing capacity of approximately $917 million on the credit facility to fund additional property investment activities.”

FFO and AFFO Commentary

Realty Income’s FFO and AFFO per share has historically tended to be stable and fairly predictable because of the long-term leases that are the primary source of the company’s revenue. There are, however, several factors that can cause FFO and AFFO per share to vary from levels that have been anticipated by the company. These factors include, but are not limited to, changes in interest rates and occupancy rates, periodically accessing the capital markets, the level and timing of property and entity acquisitions and dispositions, lease rollovers, the general real estate market, and the economy.

2014 Earnings Estimates

FFO per share for 2014 should range from $2.53 to $2.58 per share, an increase of 5% to 7% over 2013 FFO per share of $2.41. FFO per share for 2014 is based on a net income per share range of $0.84 to $0.89, plus estimated real estate depreciation of $1.76 per share, and reduced by potential estimated gains on sales of investment properties of $0.07 per share (in accordance with NAREIT’s definition of FFO).

AFFO per share for 2014 should range from $2.53 to $2.58 per share, an increase of 5% to 7% over the 2013 AFFO per diluted share of $2.41. AFFO further adjusts FFO for unique revenue and expense items, which are not as pertinent to the measurement of the company’s ongoing operating performance.
