MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY

“I’m pleased to report that we generated AFFO per diluted share of $1.38 during the second quarter, up 11% from the prior year period, and we are currently on track to be above the midpoint of our full year guidance range," said Mark J. DeCesaris, Chief Executive Officer of W. P. Carey. “Given the inherent unevenness of transaction timing, the bulk of acquisitions and dispositions for our owned portfolio are expected to occur towards the end of the year, resulting in little to no impact on our overall 2017 results.”

“Amid a challenging acquisition environment, we are remaining disciplined and not chasing deals that do not meet our risk-reward criteria. As a result, our investments year-to-date have been primarily build-to-suit expansions and we continue to focus on generating accretive opportunities within our portfolio — through such expansions, renovations and follow-on deals with existing tenants — where we are able to extend lease terms and enhance criticality, often at above-market yields.”


BUSINESS SEGMENT COMPONENTS REVISED

As a result of its decision to exit all non-traded retail fundraising activities as of June 30, 2017, the Company has revised how it views and therefore presents its two business segments. Equity income earned through its ownership interests in the Managed REITs and its special member interests in the operating partnerships of the Managed REITs are now recognized within its Investment Management segment. Previously, these items were recognized within its Owned Real Estate segment. For purposes of comparability, segment financial statements for all periods presented have been revised to reflect this change.


QUARTERLY FINANCIAL RESULTS

Revenues

Total Company: Revenues excluding reimbursable costs (net revenues) for the 2017 second quarter totaled $202.7 million, up 2.0% from $198.8 million for the 2016 second quarter, due primarily to higher net revenues from Investment Management, partly offset by lower 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 2017 second quarter were $168.7 million, down 4.4% from $176.4 million for the 2016 second quarter, due primarily to lower lease revenues resulting from planned dispositions.

Investment Management: Investment Management revenues excluding reimbursable costs (net revenues from Investment Management) for the 2017 second quarter were $34.0 million, up 52.5% from $22.3 million for the 2016 second quarter, due primarily to higher structuring revenues resulting from increased investment activity on behalf of the Managed Programs and higher asset management fees 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 2017 second quarter was $64.3 million, up 24.4% compared to $51.7 million for the 2016 second quarter, due primarily to $35.4 million of impairment charges recorded during the prior-year period, higher net revenues from Investment Management and lower interest expense, partly offset by a lower gain on sale of real estate, higher provision for income taxes, restructuring expenses recorded during the current-year period and lower net revenues from Owned Real Estate.


W. P. Carey Inc. 6/30/2017 Earnings Release 8-K – 2


Adjusted Funds from Operations (AFFO)

AFFO for the 2017 second quarter was $1.38 per diluted share, up 11.3% from $1.24 per diluted share for the 2016 second quarter, due primarily to (i) higher structuring revenues; (ii) lower interest expense; (iii) lower general and administrative expenses; and (iv) higher asset management fees. These factors were partly offset by lower lease revenues resulting from planned dispositions.

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, 2017, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $1.00 per share, equivalent to an annualized dividend rate of $4.00 per share. The dividend was paid on July 14, 2017 to stockholders of record as of June 30, 2017.


AFFO GUIDANCE

For the 2017 full year, the Company affirms that it expects to report AFFO of between $5.10 and $5.30 per diluted share.

Note: The Company does not provide guidance on net income. The Company only provides guidance on 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.


BALANCE SHEET AND CAPITALIZATION

Delayed Draw Term Loan

On June 8, 2017, the Company drew down in full €88.7 million (equivalent to $100.0 million) under its delayed draw term loan and used the proceeds to pay down amounts then outstanding under its revolving line of credit, bringing the aggregate amount outstanding as of June 30, 2017 on term loans under its senior unsecured credit facility to €325.0 million (equivalent to $370.9 million).

“At-The-Market” (ATM) Offering Program

During and subsequent to the 2017 second quarter, the Company issued 345,253 shares of common stock under its ATM offering program at a weighted-average price of $67.78 per share, for net proceeds of $22.9 million.


OWNED REAL ESTATE

Investments

During the 2017 second quarter, the Company completed investments totaling $60.3 million, including transaction-related costs and fees, comprised of three completed expansion projects at a cost totaling $54.3 million and one acquisition for $6.0 million, bringing total investment activity for the first half of 2017 to $63.6 million.

Dispositions

During the 2017 second quarter, the Company disposed of five properties for total gross proceeds of $20.1 million, before transaction-related costs and fees, bringing total dispositions for the first half of 2017 to $73.0 million.

As of June 30, 2017, the Company’s Owned Real Estate portfolio consisted of 895 net lease properties, comprising 86.6 million square feet leased to 214 tenants, and two hotel operating properties.

W. P. Carey Inc. 6/30/2017 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 expenses related to the formal strategic review that we completed in May 2016), certain lease termination income, expenses related to restructuring and other compensation-related expenses resulting from a reduction in headcount and employee severance arrangements, primarily during the first quarter of 2016 and the second quarter of 2017, and accruals for estimated one-time legal settlement expenses. 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 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 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.
