MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY

"Our business continues to gather momentum. During the second quarter, we added several high-quality industrial sale-leasebacks to our portfolio, creatively converted the bulk of our self-storage operating assets to net leases, further accessed the capital markets and prepaid additional mortgage debt," said Jason Fox, Chief Executive Officer of W. P. Carey. "We have revised our AFFO guidance to reflect our current expectations for investment timing, along with the deleveraging we've done this year. Looking ahead, our investment opportunity set remains broad and our cost of capital enables us to pursue a wide range of opportunities."

 

QUARTERLY FINANCIAL RESULTS

Revenues

• Total Company: Revenues, including reimbursable costs, for the 2019 second quarter totaled $305.2 million, up 51.8% from $201.1 million for the 2018 second quarter.
  
  
• Real Estate: Real Estate revenues, including reimbursable costs, for the 2019 second quarter were $291.5 million, up 67.6% from $173.9 million for the 2018 second quarter, due primarily to additional lease revenues from properties acquired in the Company's merger with CPA:17 on October 31, 2018 (the CPA:17 Merger) and net acquisitions.
  
  Note: While it has no impact on net income or AFFO, in accordance with Accounting Standards Update 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which the Company has adopted effective as of January 1, 2019, operating expenses reimbursed by tenants are included within lease revenues on the consolidated statements of income (for both current and prior year periods). Prior to that date the Company presented revenues excluding reimbursable costs.
  
  
• Investment Management: Investment Management revenues, including reimbursable costs, for the 2019 second quarter were $13.7 million, down 49.6% from $27.2 million for the 2018 second quarter, due primarily to the cessation of asset management revenue previously earned from CPA:17.

Net Income Attributable to W. P. Carey

• Net income attributable to W. P. Carey for the 2019 second quarter was $66.0 million, down 12.8% from $75.7 million for the 2018 second quarter. Net income from Investment Management attributable to W. P. Carey decreased, due primarily to the cessation of Investment Management revenues and distributions previously earned from CPA:17. Net income from Real Estate attributable to W. P. Carey increased, due primarily to properties acquired in the CPA:17 Merger and net acquisitions. The increase in revenues from properties acquired in the CPA:17 Merger and acquisitions was partly offset by corresponding increases in depreciation and amortization, interest expense and property expenses.

Adjusted Funds from Operations (AFFO)

• AFFO for the 2019 second quarter was $1.22 per diluted share, down 7.6% from $1.32 per diluted share for the 2018 second quarter. AFFO from the Company's Real Estate segment (Real Estate AFFO) increased, due primarily to the accretive impact of properties acquired in the CPA:17 Merger and net acquisitions. AFFO from the Company's Investment Management segment declined, due primarily to the cessation of Investment Management revenues and distributions previously earned from CPA:17.
  
  Note: Further information concerning AFFO and Real Estate AFFO, which are both non-GAAP supplemental performance metrics, is presented in the accompanying tables and related notes.

Dividend

• As previously announced, on June 13, 2019 the Company's Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $1.034 per share, equivalent to an annualized dividend rate of $4.136 per share. The dividend was paid on July 15, 2019 to stockholders of record as of June 28, 2019.

 

AFFO GUIDANCE

• For the 2019 full year, the Company has narrowed its AFFO guidance range and currently expects to report total AFFO of between $4.95 and $5.05 per diluted share, including Real Estate AFFO of between $4.70 and $4.80 per diluted share, based on the following key assumptions, which are unchanged:

(i)   investments for the Company's Real Estate portfolio of between $750 million and $1.25 billion;

(ii)   dispositions from the Company's Real Estate portfolio of between $500 million and $700 million; and

(iii)  total general and administrative expenses of between $75 million and $80 million.

Note: The Company does not provide guidance on net income. The Company only provides guidance on total AFFO (and Real Estate 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

Bond Issuance

• On June 14, 2019, the Company completed an underwritten public offering of $325 million aggregate principal amount of 3.850% Senior Unsecured Notes due July 15, 2029. Net proceeds from the offering were used primarily to reduce amounts outstanding under the Company's unsecured revolving credit facility.

"At-The-Market" (ATM) Program

• During the 2019 second quarter, the Company issued 1,116,217 shares of common stock under its ATM program at a weighted-average price of $80.33 per share, for net proceeds of $88.3 million.
  
  
• This activity brought issuances under the Company's ATM program during the first half of 2019 to 5,169,840 shares of common stock, at a weighted-average price of $77.06 per share, for net proceeds of $392.1 million.

Mortgage / Secured Debt Prepayment

• During the 2019 second quarter, the Company prepaid mortgage debt totaling $293.7 million, with a weighted-average interest rate of approximately 5.2%.
  
  
• This activity brought mortgage debt prepaid during the first half of 2019 to $493.3 million, with a weighted-average interest rate of approximately 5.1%.

 

REAL ESTATE

Investments

• During the 2019 second quarter, the Company completed investments totaling $155.2 million, consisting of four acquisitions for $123.5 million in aggregate and three completed capital investment projects at a total cost of $31.7 million, bringing total investment volume for the first half of 2019 to $394.7 million, including transaction-related costs.
  
  
• Subsequent to quarter end, the Company completed two additional investments totaling $45.2 million, bringing total investment volume year to date to $439.9 million, including transaction-related costs.
  
  
• As of June 30, 2019, the Company had six capital investment projects outstanding for an expected total investment of approximately $183.7 million, of which four projects totaling $95.9 million are currently expected to be completed during 2019.

Conversion of Self-Storage Operating Properties to Net Leases

• During the 2019 second quarter, the Company entered into net lease agreements with Extra Space Storage Inc. for 36 self-storage operating properties, the vast majority of which the Company acquired in the CPA:17 Merger.
  
  
• Pursuant to these agreements, 22 self-storage operating properties were converted to net leases on June 1, 2019, at which time we began recognizing lease revenues on the properties and ceased recognizing operating property revenues and expenses.
  
  
• Subsequent to quarter end, on August 1, 2019, an additional five self-storage operating properties were converted to net leases. The remaining nine self-storage operating properties included in this transaction, which were non-stabilized, are expected to convert to net leases upon stabilization over the next three years.

Dispositions

• During the 2019 second quarter, the Company disposed of five properties for gross proceeds of $17.0 million, bringing total disposition proceeds for the first half of 2019 to $21.9 million.

Composition

• As of June 30, 2019, the Company's net lease portfolio consisted of 1,198 properties, comprising 136.6 million square feet leased to 320 tenants, with a weighted-average lease term of 10.4 years and an occupancy rate of 98.2%. In addition, the Company owned 24 self-storage and two hotel operating properties, totaling approximately 2.0 million square feet.

__________

(a)	FFO and AFFO are non-GAAP measures. See below for a description of FFO and AFFO.
(b)	AFFO amount for the three months ended June 30, 2019 is primarily comprised of unrealized losses on derivatives of $(0.3) million, gains from foreign currency movements of $0.7 million, loss on extinguishment of debt of $(3.0) million and loss on marketable securities of $(3.1) million. Real Estate AFFO amount for the three months ended June 30, 2019 is primarily comprised of unrealized losses on derivatives of $(0.3) million, gains from foreign currency movements of $0.7 million, loss on extinguishment of debt of $(3.0) million and loss on marketable securities of $(3.3) million. Beginning in the second quarter of 2019, we aggregated (gain) loss on extinguishment of debt and realized (gains) losses on foreign currency (both of which were previously disclosed as separate AFFO adjustment line items), as well as certain other adjustments, within this line item, which is comprised of adjustments related to Other gains and (losses) on our consolidated statements of income. Prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
(c)	Amounts for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and six months ended June 30, 2019 include a current tax benefit, which is excluded from AFFO as it was incurred as a result of the CPA:17 Merger.
(d)	Amounts are primarily comprised of costs incurred in connection with the CPA:17 Merger.

 

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. (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 restated in December 2018. 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, gains or losses on changes in control of interests in 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-based compensation, non-cash environmental accretion expense and amortization of deferred financing costs. 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 gains or losses from extinguishment of debt, restructuring and related compensation expenses and merger and acquisition expenses. We also exclude realized and unrealized gains/losses on foreign currency 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. AFFO also reflects adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and jointly owned investments. 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 income computed under GAAP or as alternatives to net cash provided by operating activities computed under GAAP or as indicators of our ability to fund our cash needs.
