MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY

“For the 2016 second quarter we generated AFFO per diluted share of $1.24, bringing AFFO for the first half of the year to $2.55, on pace with our full year guidance range,” said Mark J. DeCesaris, Chief Executive Officer of W. P. Carey. “Our second quarter results reflect the inherent variability in the timing of deal closings, resulting in a lower contribution from Investment Management compared to the prior-year period. However, the higher-quality recurring income streams that we value most continued to grow year-over-year in each of our businesses. Specifically, lease revenues grew through a combination of acquisitions and contractual rent escalations, and growth in assets under management generated both higher asset management fees and additional income from our partnership interests in the Managed REITs.
 
“During the quarter, our focus was firmly on the day-to-day operation of our business, making progress on each of our key priorities. Operational efficiency improved as a result of our cost reduction initiative. We closed two accretive investments for our Owned Real Estate portfolio and made headway with our disposition plan. Within Investment Management, we raised additional capital amid an industry adapting to new regulations. We also utilized our ATM program and undertook significant investor outreach to ensure continued access to capital markets and diversity in our capital sources.”


FINANCIAL RESULTS

Revenues

Total Company: Revenues excluding reimbursable costs (net revenues) for the 2016 second quarter totaled $198.8 million, down 11.4% from $224.3 million for the 2015 second quarter, due primarily to lower net revenues from Investment Management, partly offset by higher net revenues from Owned Real Estate.

Owned Real Estate: Owned Real Estate revenues excluding reimbursable tenant costs (net revenues from Owned Real Estate) for the 2016 second quarter were $176.4 million, up 1.3% from $174.1 million for the 2015 second quarter, due primarily to additional lease revenues from properties acquired since the start of the 2015 second quarter and contractual rent escalations on existing properties.

Investment Management: Investment Management revenues excluding reimbursable costs (net revenues from Investment Management) for the 2016 second quarter were $22.3 million, down 55.6% from $50.2 million for the 2015 second quarter, due primarily to lower structuring revenue resulting from reduced investment activity on behalf of the Managed REITs during the current-year period, partly offset by higher asset management revenue as a result of growth in assets under management.

Net Income Attributable to W. P. Carey

Net income attributable to W. P. Carey for the 2016 second quarter was $51.7 million, down 18.3% compared to $63.3 million for the 2015 second quarter, due primarily to impairment charges recognized in the current-year period and lower structuring revenue within Investment Management, partly offset by the aggregate gain on sale of real estate recognized in the current-year period and lower general and administrative expenses.

W. P. Carey Inc. 6/30/2016 Earnings Release 8-K – 2



Adjusted Funds from Operations (AFFO)

AFFO for the 2016 second quarter was $1.24 per diluted share, down 5.3% compared to $1.31 per diluted share for the 2015 second quarter. The decrease was due primarily to lower structuring revenues, net of associated costs, resulting from lower investment activity on behalf of the Managed REITs during the current-year period, partly offset by additional lease revenues from both properties acquired since the start of the 2015 second quarter and contractual rent escalations on existing properties, higher asset management fees and distributions of available cash from the Company’s interests in the operating partnerships of the Managed REITs, and lower general and administrative expenses.

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 June 16, 2016, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.9800 per share, equivalent to an annualized dividend rate of $3.92 per share. The dividend was paid on July 15, 2016 to stockholders of record as of June 30, 2016.


AFFO GUIDANCE

For the 2016 full year, the Company affirms that it expects to report AFFO of between $5.00 and $5.20 per diluted share based on the following key assumptions:

(i)
acquisitions for the Company’s Owned Real Estate portfolio of between $400 million and $600 million;

(ii)
dispositions from the Company’s Owned Real Estate portfolio of between $650 million and $850 million; and

(iii)
acquisitions on behalf of the Managed REITs of between $1.8 billion and $2.3 billion.

W. P. Carey Inc. 6/30/2016 Earnings Release 8-K – 10



Non-GAAP Financial Disclosure

Due to certain unique operating characteristics of real estate companies, as discussed below, the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, Inc., or 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 revised in February 2004. 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, 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. Our FFO calculation complies with NAREIT’s policy described above.

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 non-core income and expenses such as property acquisition and other expenses, which includes costs recorded related to our formal strategic review, certain lease termination income, and expenses related to restructuring and other compensation-related expenses resulting from a reduction in headcount and employment severance arrangements. We also exclude realized gains/losses on foreign exchange transactions, 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 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 which are currently not 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 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 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.
