MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY

“During the third quarter, we made progress towards two of our core business strategies — funding accretive acquisitions through an appropriate mix of equity and unsecured debt, and further diversifying our non-traded product offerings,” said W. P. Carey President and CEO, Trevor Bond. “In particular, we achieved an important milestone with the successful completion of our inaugural public equity offering. And we took steps to expand the product lineup of our Investment Management business to include a second non-traded lodging REIT and a non-traded BDC. Throughout, we remained focused on generating stable and growing dividend income for our shareholders through disciplined investing, as we have done for over forty years.”


FINANCIAL RESULTS

Revenues

Total Company: Revenues, excluding reimbursable costs, for the 2014 third quarter totaled $175.0 million, down 14.7% from $205.2 million for the 2014 second quarter, due primarily to lower revenues from the Managed REITs, excluding reimbursable costs. Compared to the 2013 third quarter, revenues, excluding reimbursable costs, increased 65.6% from $105.7 million, due primarily to additional real estate revenues from properties acquired in the Company’s merger with CPA®:16 – Global, which closed on January 31, 2014 (the CPA®:16 Merger).

Real Estate Ownership: Real estate revenues, excluding reimbursable tenant costs, for the 2014 third quarter were $157.9 million, down 7.7% from $171.0 million for the 2014 second quarter, due primarily to lower lease termination income. Compared to the 2013 third quarter, real estate revenues, excluding reimbursable tenant costs, increased 107.2% from $76.2 million, due primarily to additional lease revenues from properties acquired in the CPA®:16 Merger.

Investment Management: Revenues from the Managed REITs, excluding reimbursable costs, for the 2014 third quarter were $17.0 million, down 50.3% from $34.2 million for the 2014 second quarter and down 42.4% from $29.5 million for the 2013 third quarter. In each case, the decline was due primarily to lower structuring revenue resulting from reduced acquisition activity on behalf of the Managed REITs.

Adjusted Funds from Operations (AFFO)

AFFO for the 2014 third quarter was $114.4 million, or $1.13 per diluted share, down 6.4% and 6.6%, respectively, from AFFO of $122.2 million, or $1.21 per diluted share, for the 2014 second quarter, due primarily to lower structuring revenue resulting from reduced investment activity on behalf of the Managed REITs.

Compared to the 2013 third quarter, AFFO and AFFO per diluted share increased 60.9% and 9.7%, respectively, from $71.1 million, or $1.03 per diluted share, due primarily to additional real estate revenues from properties acquired in the CPA®:16 Merger.

Note: Further information concerning AFFO, a non-GAAP supplemental performance metric, is presented in the accompanying tables and related notes.

Dividend

As previously announced, on September 18, 2014 the Company’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.94 per share, equivalent to an annualized dividend rate of $3.76 per share, which was paid on October 15, 2014 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on September 30, 2014. The dividend represented a 4.4% increase over the 2014 second quarter and was the Company’s 54th consecutive quarterly increase.

AFFO GUIDANCE

2014: The Company has raised its 2014 full year AFFO guidance range to $4.70 to $4.86 per diluted share, up from its previously announced range of $4.62 to $4.82 per diluted share, based on assumed full year 2014 total acquisition volume of approximately $2.9 billion to $3.2 billion, including approximately $1.9 billion to $2.2 billion on behalf of the Managed REITs.

2015: For the full year 2015, the Company currently expects to report AFFO of between $4.76 and $5.02 per diluted share, based on assumed full year 2015 total acquisition volume of approximately $2.4 billion to $3.1 billion, including approximately $2.0 billion to $2.5 billion on behalf of the Managed REITs, and dispositions from its owned real estate portfolio of approximately $100 million to $200 million. The Company expects to update its 2015 AFFO guidance in connection with the release of its quarterly earnings.


BALANCE SHEET AND CAPITALIZATION

Equity Offering

As previously announced, on September 30, 2014 the Company successfully completed its inaugural public equity offering of 4,600,000 shares of common stock, which included the full exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase an additional 600,000 shares of its common stock.

Total net proceeds from the offering, after underwriting discounts and offering expenses, were approximately $282 million, which the Company used primarily to reduce the balance outstanding under its revolving credit facility.

During the 2014 third quarter, the Company completed two investments for $163.3 million, bringing total acquisitions for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 to $252.7 million, including acquisition related-costs and fees.

Total dispositions for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 were $298.7 million, including transaction related-costs and fees, as part of the Company’s active capital recycling program, with a goal of extending the average lease term through reinvestment, improving portfolio credit quality, increasing the asset criticality factor within the portfolio and/or executing strategic dispositions of assets.

Composition

As of September 30, 2014, the Company’s owned portfolio consisted of 688 net-leased properties, comprising 80.8 million square feet leased to 215 tenants, and four operating properties.

In September 2014, the Company filed registration statements with the SEC regarding a new non-traded business development company (BDC).

W. P. Carey Inc. 9/30/2014 Earnings Release 8-K 11



__________
(a)
Represents primarily unrealized gains and losses from foreign exchange and derivatives, as well as amounts for the amortization of contracts.
(b)
Amount for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 includes reported merger costs as well as income tax expense incurred in connection with the CPA®:16 Merger. Income tax expense incurred in connection with the CPA®:16 Merger represents the current portion of income tax expense including the permanent difference incurred upon recognition of deferred revenue associated with the accelerated vesting of shares previously issued by CPA®:16 – Global for asset management and performance fees.
(c)
Prior to the second quarter of 2013, this amount was insignificant and therefore not included in the AFFO calculation.

Non-GAAP Financial Disclosure

Funds from Operations, or FFO, is a non-GAAP measure defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or 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 real estate-related 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 acquisition expenses and non-core expenses such as merger expenses. Merger expenses are related to the CPA®:16 Merger. We also exclude realized gains or 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 not currently engaged in acquisitions, mergers, and restructuring, which are not part of our normal business operations. 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 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 earnings computed under GAAP or as alternatives to cash from operating activities computed under GAAP or as indicators of our ability to fund our cash needs.
