MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY
"We generated strong third quarter results across several areas of our business, raising our expectations for full-year AFFO per share, driven by Real Estate AFFO per share that is on track for year-over-year growth of just over 6%," said Jason Fox, Chief Executive Officer of W. P. Carey.
"While cap rates have been slow to adjust to sharply higher interest rates, deal pricing is increasingly getting more interesting, and our balance sheet puts us in a position of strength to deploy capital at appropriate spreads — having raised debt and equity capital at attractive prices and armed with over $2 billion of liquidity.
"We also continue to benefit from our sector-leading same-store rent growth, which reached a new high during the quarter, driven by inflation. As current CPI numbers flow through to rents, we expect our same-store growth to move even higher in 2023, and to continue seeing the benefits into 2024."
QUARTERLY FINANCIAL RESULTS
Revenues
- Total Company: Revenues, including reimbursable costs, for the 2022 third quarter totaled $383.6 million, up 17.7% from $325.8 million for the 2021 third quarter.
- Real Estate: Real Estate revenues, including reimbursable costs, for the 2022 third quarter were $382.1 million, up 19.1% from $320.8 million for the 2021 third quarter, due primarily to additional lease revenues and operating property revenues from properties acquired in the CPA:18 Merger, higher lease revenues resulting from net investment activity and rent escalations, and higher lease termination income and other revenues, partly offset by the impact of a stronger U.S. dollar relative to foreign currencies, primarily the euro.
Note: Starting with the 2021 fourth quarter, income from direct financing leases and loans receivable are presented on a separate line item on the consolidated statements of income (for both current and prior year periods). Prior to the 2021 fourth quarter, the Company presented income from direct financing leases within lease revenues and income from loans receivable within lease termination income and other.
Net Income Attributable to W. P. Carey
- Net income attributable to W. P. Carey for the 2022 third quarter was $104.9 million, down 24.3% from $138.5 million for the 2021 third quarter. Net income from Real Estate attributable to W. P. Carey was $111.4 million, which decreased due primarily to a mark-to-market gain recognized on the Company's shares of Lineage Logistics of $52.9 million during the prior year period and the net impact of a stronger U.S. dollar relative to foreign currencies, primarily the euro, which more than offset the impact of net investment activity (including properties acquired in the CPA:18 Merger) and rent escalations. Net loss from Investment Management attributable to W. P. Carey was $6.4 million, reflecting a $29.3 million impairment charge recognized on goodwill within that segment since Investment Management revenues are expected to be minimal going forward following the CPA:18 Merger. The Company also recognized a $33.9 million gain on change in control of interests in connection with the CPA:18 Merger.
Adjusted Funds from Operations (AFFO)
- AFFO for the 2022 third quarter was $1.36 per diluted share, up 9.7% from $1.24 per diluted share for the 2021 third quarter, driven by the company's Real Estate segment, which generated AFFO of $1.34 per diluted share, primarily reflecting the net impact of investment activity, rent escalations, higher lease termination income and other revenues, and the net impact of properties acquired in the CPA:18 Merger, including additional interest expense from mortgages on properties acquired in the CPA:18 Merger. This was partly offset by the net impact of a stronger U.S. dollar relative to foreign currencies, primarily the euro.
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 September 15, 2022, the Company's Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $1.061 per share, equivalent to an annualized dividend rate of $4.244 per share. The dividend was paid on October 14, 2022 to stockholders of record as of September 30, 2022.
AFFO GUIDANCE
- For the 2022 full year, the Company has raised its guidance for total AFFO and narrowed the range to between $5.25 and $5.31 per diluted share, including Real Estate AFFO of between $5.16 and $5.22 per diluted share, based on the following key assumptions:
(i) investments for the Company's Real Estate portfolio of between $1.5 billion and $2.0 billion, which has been revised lower;
(ii) dispositions from the Company's Real Estate portfolio of between $200 million and $300 million, which has been revised lower; and
(iii) total general and administrative expenses of between $88 million and $90 million, which has been revised lower.
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.
CPA:18 MERGER
- On August 1, 2022, the Company completed its merger with CPA:18 (the CPA:18 Merger), which added approximately $2.2 billion of real estate assets.
REAL ESTATE
Investments
- During the 2022 third quarter, the Company completed investments totaling $474.8 million, bringing total investment volume for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 to $1.3 billion (excluding properties acquired in the CPA:18 Merger).
- The Company currently has two capital investments and commitments totaling $37.7 million and construction loan funding of $25.9 million scheduled to be completed during the fourth quarter, for an aggregate total of $63.6 million.
Dispositions
- During the 2022 third quarter, the Company disposed of three properties for gross proceeds of $56.7 million, bringing total disposition proceeds for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 to $176.1 million.
Rent Collections
- The Company received over 99.3% of contractual base rent that was due in the 2022 third quarter.
Composition
- As of September 30, 2022, the Company's net lease portfolio consisted of 1,428 properties, comprising 175 million square feet leased to 391 tenants, with a weighted-average lease term of 10.9 years and an occupancy rate of 98.9%. In addition, the Company owned 84 self-storage operating properties, two student housing operating properties and one hotel operating property, totaling approximately 6.6 million square feet.
BALANCE SHEET AND CAPITALIZATION
Bond Issuances
- As previously announced, on September 28, 2022, the Company completed private placement offerings of (i) €150 million aggregate principal amount of 3.41% Senior Notes due September 28, 2029 and (ii) €200 million aggregate principal amount of 3.70% Senior Notes due September 28, 2032.
Forward Equity
- During the 2022 third quarter, the Company used forward sale agreements under its ATM program to sell 1,863,850 shares of common stock at a weighted-average gross price of $86.46 per share, all of which remain available for settlement, for anticipated net proceeds of approximately $159 million.
- During the 2022 third quarter, the Company settled a portion of its outstanding forward sale agreements, issuing 1,337,500 shares of common stock for net proceeds of $97 million.
- As of September 30, 2022, the Company therefore had an aggregate of $642 million in anticipated net proceeds available for settlement pursuant to forward sale agreements.
Cash Received for Shares of WLT
- In October 2022, all outstanding shares of Watermark Lodging Trust (WLT) common stock were acquired by a private real estate fund. As of the date of acquisition, the Company owned 12,208,243 shares of WLT common stock for which it received $82.6 million in cash and as a result has no remaining interest in WLT.

Non-GAAP Financial Disclosure
Funds from Operations (FFO) and Adjusted Funds from Operations (AFFO)
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 or other assets incidental to the company's main business, 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.
We also modify the NAREIT computation of FFO to adjust GAAP net income for certain non-cash charges, such as amortization of real estate-related intangibles, deferred income tax benefits and expenses, straight-line rent and related reserves, other non-cash rent adjustments, non-cash allowance for credit losses on loans receivable and direct financing leases, stock-based compensation, non-cash environmental accretion expense, amortization of discounts and premiums on debt 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 and merger and acquisition expenses. We also exclude realized and unrealized gains/losses on foreign currency exchange rate movements (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 that 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.
