MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY

"We've had a productive start to the year, closing $375 million of investments and building a strong deal pipeline, which positions us well in relation to our investment guidance," said Jason Fox, Chief Executive Officer of W. P. Carey. "We also made excellent progress toward completing our office exit strategy and addressing recent tenant-specific issues, further strengthening our well-diversified portfolio. We believe that we have a distinct advantage both in terms of deploying the substantial capital we've amassed into new investments and the strength of our rent escalations, putting us on a path to generate future growth based off the new baseline AFFO set in 2024."

QUARTERLY FINANCIAL RESULTS

Note: Effective January 1, 2024, the Company no longer separately analyzes its business between real estate operations and investment management operations, and instead views the business as one reportable segment. As a result of this change, the Company has conformed prior period segment information to reflect how it currently views its business.

Revenues

•Revenues, including reimbursable costs, for the 2024 first quarter totaled $389.8 million, down 8.9% from $427.8 million for the 2023 first quarter.

◦Lease revenues decreased primarily as a result of (i) executing the Company's strategic plan to exit the office assets within its portfolio, including the NLOP Spin-Off in November 2023 and dispositions under the Office Sale Program during 2023 and the 2024 first quarter, and (ii) the reclassification of lease revenues during the 2023 first quarter for a portfolio of 78 U-Haul self-storage net lease properties (the U-Haul portfolio) in conjunction with the exercise of a purchase option on the portfolio. These two items more than offset the impact of higher lease revenues from net investment activity and rent escalations.

◦Income from finance leases and loans receivable increased primarily as a result of the reclassification of lease revenues for the U-Haul portfolio during the 2023 first quarter (as described above), which was sold during the 2024 first quarter. This reclassification had no impact on total revenues.

◦Operating property revenues decreased primarily as a result of the sale of eight hotel operating properties during 2023 (out of 12 hotel properties that converted from net lease to operating upon lease expiration during the 2023 first quarter).

◦Other lease-related income decreased primarily as a result of higher lease termination income during the 2023 first quarter in connection with the sales of two properties.

Net Income Attributable to W. P. Carey

•Net income attributable to W. P. Carey for the 2024 first quarter was $159.2 million, down 45.9% from $294.4 million for the 2023 first quarter, due primarily to lower gain on sale of real estate.

Adjusted Funds from Operations (AFFO)

•AFFO for the 2024 first quarter was $1.14 per diluted share, down 13.0% from $1.31 per diluted share for the 2023 first quarter, primarily reflecting the impact of the NLOP Spin-Off and the Office Sale Program, as well as lower other lease-related income, which more than offset the impact of net investment activity and rent escalations.

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

W. P. Carey Inc. 3/31/2024 Earnings Release 8-K - 2

Dividend

•On March 14, 2024, the Company reported that its Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.865 per share, equivalent to an annualized dividend rate of $3.46 per share. The dividend was paid on April 15, 2024 to shareholders of record as of March 28, 2024.

AFFO GUIDANCE

2024 AFFO Guidance

•For the 2024 full year, the Company affirms its expectation that it will report AFFO of between $4.65 and $4.75 per diluted share, based on the following key assumptions, which are substantially unchanged:

(i) investment volume of between $1.5 billion and $2.0 billion;

(ii) disposition volume of between $1.2 billion and $1.4 billion, including:

(a) substantial completion of the Company's strategic plan to exit office, including anticipated asset sales under the Office Sale Program totaling between $550 million and $600 million during the first half of 2024;

(b) completion of the U-Haul purchase option during the 2024 first quarter, which generated gross proceeds of $464 million; and

(c) other dispositions totaling between $150 million and $350 million; and

(iii) total general and administrative expenses of between $100 million and $103 million.

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.

REAL ESTATE

Investments

•Year to date, the Company completed investments totaling $374.5 million, including $280.3 million during the 2024 first quarter and $94.2 million subsequent to quarter end, comprising a 1.2 million square foot distribution facility located in Commercial Point, Ohio.

•The Company currently has six capital investments and commitments totaling $66.4 million scheduled to be completed during 2024.

W. P. Carey Inc. 3/31/2024 Earnings Release 8-K - 3

Dispositions

•During the 2024 first quarter, the Company disposed of 153properties for gross proceeds totaling $889.2 million, comprising:

◦The disposition of 72 properties under an asset sale program (the Office Sale Program) for gross proceeds totaling $410.5 million, primarily from the sale of a portfolio of 70 office properties net leased to the State of Andalusia (the State of Andalusia portfolio) for $359.3 million, and

◦The disposition of 81 non-Office Sale Program properties for gross proceeds totaling $478.6 million, primarily from the sale of the U-Haul portfolio for $464.1 million through the completion of a purchase option on the portfolio.

•The Company is nearing completion of the strategic plan it announced on September 21, 2023 to exit the office assets within its portfolio, primarily through:

◦The spin-off of 59 office properties into Net Lease Office Properties, a separate publicly-traded REIT (the NLOP Spin-Off), completed on November 1, 2023; and

◦The disposition of 87 properties retained by W. P. Carey under the Office Sale Program.

•To date, the Company has sold 80 properties under the Office Sale Program for gross proceeds totaling approximately $630.8 million. Seven office properties generating $17.2 million of ABR and representing 1.3% of total ABR remain to be sold under the program, which are targeted for sale during the first half of 2024.

Contractual Same-Store Rent Growth

•As of March 31, 2024, contractual same store rent growth was 3.1% year over year, on a constant currency basis.

Lease Restructuring

•On February 15, 2024, the Company entered into a lease restructuring for a 35-property retail portfolio in Germany leased to Hellweg, including a rent abatement for the 2024 first quarter, a €4.0 million rent reduction commencing on April 1, 2024 (resulting in annual rent of €23.3 million) and a seven-year extension of the lease term to February 2044.

Occupancy

•As of March 31, 2024, the Company's net lease portfolio occupancy rate was 99.1%, up 100 basis points from 98.1% as of December 31, 2023, due primarily to the lease-up of an approximately 1.6 million square foot warehouse property located in University Park, Illinois.

Composition

•As of March 31, 2024, the Company's net lease portfolio consisted of 1,282 properties, comprising 168 million square feetleased to 335 tenants, with a weighted-average lease term of 12.2 years and an occupancy rate of 99.1%. In addition, the Company owned 89 self-storage operating properties, five hotel operating properties and two student housing operating properties, totaling approximately 7.3 million square feet.

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 (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 the sale of certain real estate, 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 on the same basis.

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 finance 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, merger and acquisition expenses, and spin-off 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.
