PART I

Item 1. Business.

General Development of Business

W. P. Carey Inc. (“W. P. Carey”), is an internally-managed diversified REIT that, together with our consolidated subsidiaries and predecessors, is an internally-managed diversified REIT and a leading owner of commercial real estate, net-leased to companies located primarily in the United States and Northern and Western Europe on a long-term basis. The vast majority of our revenues originate from lease revenue provided by our real estate portfolio, which is comprised primarily of single-tenant industrial, warehouse, office, retail, and self-storage facilities that are critical to our tenants’ operations. Our portfolio is comprised of 1,3041,424 properties, net-leased to 352336 tenants in 2426 countries. As of December 31, 2021,2023, approximately 63%58% of our contractual minimum annualized base rent (“ABR”) was generated by properties located in the United States and approximately 35%37% was generated by properties located in Europe. As of that same date, our portfolio included 2096 operating properties, comprised of 1989 self-storage properties, five hotels, and one hotel.

We also earn fees and other income by managing the portfolios of two remaining non-traded investment programs through our investment management business. We no longer sponsor new investment programs.student housing properties.

In September 2023, we announced a plan to exit the office assets within our portfolio by (i) spinning-off 59 office properties into Net Lease Office Properties, a Maryland real estate investment trust (“NLOP”), so that it became a separate publicly-traded REIT (the “Spin-Off”), and (ii) implementing an asset sale program to dispose of 87 office properties retained by us (the “Office Sale Program”), which is targeted to be completed in the first half of 2024. Seventy-nine of the 87 office properties have been sold as of the date of this Report, for gross proceeds of approximately $608.1 million (Note 19).

On November 1, 2023, we completed the Spin-Off, contributing 59 office properties to NLOP (Note 3). Following the closing of the Spin-Off, NLOP operates as a separate publicly-traded REIT, which we externally manage pursuant to certain advisory agreements (the “NLOP Advisory Agreements”).

On August 1, 2022, one of our former investment programs, Corporate Property Associates 18 – Global Incorporated (“CPA:18 – Global”), merged with and into one of our indirect subsidiaries (the “CPA:18 Merger”), which added approximately $2.2 billion of real estate assets to our portfolio (Note 4).

Founded in 1973, we became a publicly traded company listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) in 1998 and reorganized as a REIT in 2012. Our shares of common stock are listed on the NYSE under the ticker symbol “WPC.” Headquartered in New York, we also have offices in Dallas, London, and Amsterdam. For discussion of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, see Item 1A. Risk Factors and Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Significant Developments.

Narrative Description of Business

Business Objectives and Strategy

Our primary business objective is to invest in a diversified portfolio of high-quality, mission-critical assets subject to long-term net leases with built-in rent escalators for the purpose of generating stable cash flows, enabling us to grow our dividend and increase long-term stockholder value.

Our investment strategy primarily focuses on owning and actively managing a diverse portfolio of commercial real estate that is net-leased to credit-worthy companies. We review and evaluate the fundamental value of the underlying real estate. We believe that many companies prefer to lease rather than own their corporate real estate because it allows them to deploy their capital more effectively into their core competencies. We specialize in sale-leaseback transactions, where we acquire a company’s critical real estate and then lease it back to them on a long-term, triple-net basis, which requires them to pay substantially all of the costs associated with operating and maintaining the property (such as real estate taxes, insurance, and facility maintenance). Compared to other types of real estate investments, sale-leaseback transactions typically produce a more predictable income stream and require minimal capital expenditures, which in turn generate revenues that provide our stockholders with a stable, growing source of income.

We believe that diversification across property type, tenant, tenant industry, and geographic location, as well as diversification of our lease expirations and scheduled rent increases, are vital aspects of portfolio risk management and accordingly have constructed a portfolio of real estate that we believe is well-diversified across each of these categories. We capitalize on our large portfolio and existing tenant relationships through accretive expansions, renovations, and follow-on deals. We actively

manage our real estate portfolio to monitor tenant credit quality and lease renewal risks. We also maintain ample liquidity, a conservative capital structure, and access to multiple forms of capital.

Our business operates in two segments: Real Estate and Investment Management, as described herein and in Note 1. Our Real Estate segment generates the vast majority of our earnings through the lease revenues we earn from our real estate investments. Through our Investment Management segment, we earnWe have historically earned asset management fees and other compensation from the management of $2.7 billion of assetsnon-traded real estate investment programs through our Investment Management segment.

As used herein, “Managed Programs” refers to CPA:18 – Global”)Global (through August 1, 2022) and (ii) Carey European Student Housing Fund I, L.P. (“CESH”). On April 13, 2020, two of our former investment programs, Carey Watermark Investors Incorporated (“CWI 1”) and Carey Watermark Investors 2 Incorporated (“CWI 2”) (together, the “CWI REITs”), merged in an all-stock transaction (the “CWI 1 and CWI 2 Merger”). Following the close of the
W. P. Carey 2021 10-K3


CWI 1 and CWI 2 Merger, our advisory agreements with CWI 1 and CWI 2 were terminated and CWI 2 was renamed Watermark Lodging Trust, Inc. (“WLT”) (Note 3). As used herein, “Managed REITs” refers to CPA:18 – Global and the CWI REITs (through April 13, 2020). We refer to the Managed REITs and CESH as the “Managed Programs.” We continue to act as the advisor to the two remaining Managed ProgramsCESH and currently expect to do so through the end of their respectiveits life cyclescycle. We also act as the advisor to NLOP pursuant to the NLOP Advisory Agreements (Note 35).

We intend to operate our business in a manner that is consistent with the maintenance of our status as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. In addition, we expect to manage our investments in order to maintain our exemption from registration as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

Investment Strategies

When considering potential net-lease investments for our real estate portfolio, we review various aspects of a transaction to determine whether the investment and lease structure will satisfy our investment criteria. We generally analyze the following main aspects of each transaction:

Tenant/Borrower Evaluation — We evaluate each potential tenant or borrower for creditworthiness, typically considering factors such as management experience, industry position and fundamentals, operating history, and capital structure. We also rate each asset based on its market, liquidity, and criticality to the tenant’s operations, as well as other factors that may be unique to a particular investment. We seek opportunities where we believe the tenant may have a stable or improving credit profile or credit potential that has not been fully recognized by the market. We define creditworthiness as a risk-reward relationship appropriate to our investment strategies, which may or may not coincide with ratings issued by the credit rating agencies. We have a robust internal credit rating system and may designate subsidiaries of non-guarantor parent companies with investment grade ratings as “implied investment grade.”

Properties Critical to Tenant/Borrower Operations — We generally focus on properties and facilities that we believe are critical to the ongoing operations of the tenant. We believe that these properties generally provide better protection, particularly in the event of a bankruptcy, since a tenant/borrower is less likely to risk the loss of a critically important lease or property in a bankruptcy proceeding or otherwise.

Diversification — We attempt to diversify our portfolio to avoid undue dependence on any one particular tenant, borrower, collateral type, geographic location, or industry. By diversifying our portfolio, we seek to reduce the adverse effect of a single underperforming investment or a downturn in any particular industry or geographic region. While we do not set any fixed diversity metrics in our portfolio, we believe that it is well-diversified.

Lease Terms — Generally, the net-leased properties we invest in are leased on a full-recourse basis to the tenants or their affiliates. In addition, the vast majority of our leases provide for scheduled rent increases over the term of the lease (see Our Portfolio below). These rent increases are either fixed (i.e., mandated on specific dates) or tied to increases in inflation indices (e.g., the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) or similar indices in the jurisdiction where the property is located), but may contain caps or other limitations, either on an annual or overall basis. In the case of retail stores and hotels, the lease may provide for participation in the gross revenues of the tenant above a stated level, which we refer to as percentage rent.

Real Estate Evaluation — We review and evaluate the physical condition of the property and the market in which it is located. We consider a variety of factors, including current market rents, replacement cost, residual valuation, property operating history, demographic characteristics of the location and accessibility, competitive properties, and suitability for re-leasing. We obtain third-party environmental and engineering reports and market studies when required. When considering an investment outside the United States, we will also consider factors particular to a country or region, including geopolitical risk, in addition to the risks normally associated with real property investments. See Item 1A. Risk Factors.

W. P. Carey 2023 10-K4


Transaction Provisions to Enhance and Protect Value — When negotiating leases with potential tenants, we attempt to include provisions that we believe help to protect the investment from material changes in the tenant’s operating and financial characteristics, which may affect the tenant’s ability to satisfy its obligations to us or reduce the value of the investment. Such provisions include covenants requiring our consent for certain activities, requiring indemnification protections and/or security deposits, and requiring the tenant to satisfy specific operating tests. We may also seek to enhance the likelihood that a tenant will satisfy their lease obligations through a letter of credit or guaranty from the tenant’s parent or other entity. Such credit enhancements, if obtained, provide us with additional financial security. However, in markets where competition for net-lease transactions is strong, some or all of these lease provisions may be difficult to obtain.
W. P. Carey 2021 10-K4



Competition — We face active competition from many sources, both domestically and internationally, for net-lease investment opportunities in commercial properties. In general, we believe that our management’s experience in real estate, credit underwriting, and transaction structuring will allow us to compete effectively for commercial properties. However, competitors may be willing to accept rates of return, lease terms, other transaction terms, or levels of risk that we find unacceptable.

Asset Management

We believe that proactive asset management is essential to maintaining and enhancing property values. Important aspects of asset management include entering into new or modified transactions to meet the evolving needs of current tenants, re-leasing properties, credit and real estate risk analysis, building expansions and redevelopments, repositioning assets, sustainability and efficiency analysis and retrofits, and strategic dispositions. We regularly engage directly with our tenants and form long-term working relationships with their decision makers in order to provide proactive solutions and to obtain an in-depth, real-time understanding of tenant credit.

We monitor compliance by tenants with their lease obligations and other factors that could affect the financial performance of our real estate investments on an ongoing basis, which typically involves ensuring that each tenant has paid real estate taxes and other expenses relating to the properties it occupies and is maintaining appropriate insurance coverage. To ensure such compliance at our properties, we often engage the expertise of third parties to complete property inspections. We also review tenant financial statements and undertake regular physical inspections of the properties to verify their condition and maintenance. Additionally, we periodically analyze each tenant’s financial condition, the industry in which each tenant operates, and each tenant’s relative strength in its industry. The in-depth understanding of our tenants’ businesses and direct relationships with their management teams provides strong visibility into potential issues as well as additional investment opportunities. Our business intelligence platform provides real-time surveillance and early warning, allowing asset managers to work with tenants to enforce lease provisions, and where appropriate, consider lease modifications. Our proactive asset management philosophy has proven particularly applicable during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Financing Strategies

We believe in maintaining ample liquidity, a conservative capital structure, and access to multiple forms of capital. We preserve balance sheet flexibility and liquidity by maintaining significant capacity on our $1.8$2.0 billion unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility”), as well as any amounts available to us under our term loanloans (“Unsecured Term Loan”) and delayed draw term loan (“Delayed Draw Term Loan”Loans”), which, together with our Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility, we refer to collectively as our “Senior Unsecured Credit Facility.” We generally use the Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility to fund our immediate capital needs, including new acquisitions and the repayment of secured mortgage debt as we continue to unencumber assets. We seek to replace short-term financing with more permanent forms of capital, including, but not limited to, common stock, unsecured debt securities, bank debt, and proceeds from asset sales. When evaluating which form of capital to pursue, we take into consideration multiple factors, including our corporate leverage levels and targets, and the most attractive source of capital available to us. We may choose to issue unsecured debt securities and bank debt denominated in foreign currencies in part to fund international acquisitions, unencumber assets, and mitigate our exposure to fluctuations in exchange rates. We strive to maintain an investment grade rating, which places limitations on the amount of leverage acceptable in our capital structure. Although we expect to continue to have access to a wide variety of capital sources and maintain our investment grade rating, there can be no assurance that we will be able to do so in the future.

Risks Related to Our Portfolio and Ownership of Real Estate

We face an increasingly competitive marketplace for investments.

The net lease financing market is perceived as a relatively conservative investment vehicle and there has been increasing capital inflows into our sector; accordingly, we face escalating competition for investments, both domestically and internationally. We compete for investments with many other financial institutions and investors, including other REITs, private equity firms, pension funds, and financereal estate companies. Operating in a competitive marketplace for investments could have a negative impact on our revenue growth. Our competitors may accept greater risk, or lower returns, or a combination thereof allowing them to offer more attractive terms when pursuing investment opportunities. Access to prospective tenants. Further capital inflows intoand the cost of that capital could further impact the returns we generate from investments relative to our sector will place additional pressure oncompetitors and impair our ability to execute transactionsinvest accretively. For example, high interest rates and the returns that we can generate from investments. In particular, private equity real estate investors have raised record amounts of capital in recent periods, which is expected to be deployed into acquisitions that are contributing to an increasingly competitive marketplace.

In addition, expectations of rising interest ratescosts may increase our cost of capital whilerelative to our competitors and place additional pressure on investment spreads if capitalization rates (which generally respond to higher interest rates on a lag) could remain lowconstant or continue to decline, thereby placing additional pressure on investment spreads throughout the net lease sector. Finally, the vast majority of our current investments aredecline.

Our portfolio is concentrated in single-tenant commercial properties that are subject to triple-net leases. Many factors, including changes in tax laws or accounting rules, may make these types of sale-leaseback transactions less attractive to potential sellersindustrial, warehouse and lessees, which could negatively affect our ability to increase these types of investments.retail properties.

We are not required to meet any diversification standards; therefore, our investments may become subject to concentration risks.

Subject to our intention to maintain our qualification as a REIT, we are not required to meet anyproperty-type, tenant or geographic diversification standards. Therefore, our investments may become concentrated inby type, tenant or geographic location, which could subject us to significant risks (e.g., COVID-19 has negatively impacted certain sectors more harshly than others) with potentially adverse effects on our investment objectives.

Because we invest in properties located outside the United States, we are exposed to additional risks.

We have invested, and may continue to invest, in properties located outside the United States. At December 31, 2021,2023, our real estate properties located outside of the United States represented 37%42% of our ABR. These investments may be affected by factors particular to the local jurisdiction where the property is located and may expose us to additional risks, including:

enactment of laws relating to foreign ownership of property (including expropriation of investments), or laws and regulations relating to our ability to repatriate invested capital, profits, or cash and cash equivalents back to the United States;
legal systems where the ability to enforce contractual rights and remedies may be more limited than under U.S. law;

tax requirements vary by country and existing foreign tax laws and interpretations may change (e.g., the on-going implementation of the European Union’s Anti-Tax Avoidance Directives)Directives and the new global minimum tax (“Pillar Two”)), which may result in additional taxes on our international investments;investments or additional taxes as a result of Pillar Two;

The failure of our compliance and internal control systems to properly mitigate such additional risks, or of our operating infrastructure to support such international investments, could result in operational failures, regulatory fines, or other governmental sanctions. We may engage third-party asset managers in international jurisdictions to monitor compliance with legal requirements and lending agreements. Failure to comply with applicable requirements may expose us, our operating subsidiaries, or the entities we manage to additional liabilities. Our operations in the United Kingdom, the European Economic Area, and other countries are subject to significant compliance, disclosure, and other obligations.
In addition, the lack of publicly available information in certain jurisdictions could impair our ability to analyze transactions and may cause us to forego an investment opportunity. It may also impair our ability to receive timely and accurate financial information from tenants necessary to meet reporting obligations to financial institutions or governmental and regulatory agencies. Certain of these risks may be greater in less developed countries. Further, our expertise to date is primarily in the United States and certain countries in Europe. We have less experience in other international markets and may not be as familiar with the potential risks to investments in these areas, which could cause us and the entities we manage to incur losses.

We are also subject to potential fluctuations in exchange rates between foreign currencies and the U.S. dollar because we translate revenue denominated in foreign currency into U.S. dollars for our financial statements (our principal exposure is to the euro). Our results of our foreign operations are adversely affected by a stronger U.S. dollar relative to foreign currencies (i.e., absent other considerations, a stronger U.S. dollar will reduce both our revenues and our expenses).

Inflation and high interest rates may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

Since 2021, inflation and interest rates have been elevated compared to recent years. Inflation and high interest rates could have an adverse impact on our financial condition. Our leases typically require tenants to pay all property operating expenses and increases in those property-level expenses at our leased properties generally do not affect us. However, increased operating expenses at properties not subject to full triple-net leases could cause us to incur additional operating expenses. Inflation could also impact other costs incurred by the company including general and administrative costs and foreign income taxes. While the vast majority of leases contain rent escalators, including inflation-linked rent escalators, these costs could increase at a rate higher than our rental and other revenue.

High interest rates could also increase the cost of our existing variable-rate debt, new debt obligations entered into in the future and potentially impair our ability to arrange third-party financing, including refinancing maturing debt in part or in full as it comes due. If we are unable to find alternative credit arrangements or other funding in a high interest environment, our business needs may not be adequately met. Certain financial covenants could also be affected as a result of higher operating and debt service costs, which may place restrictions on our liquidity. In the event an increase in our costs is not sufficiently offset by contractual rent increases or increases in other revenue, we may be required to implement measures to conserve cash or preserve liquidity.

Furthermore, tenants and potential tenants of our properties may also be adversely impacted by inflation and high interest rates, which could negatively impact our tenants’ ability to pay rent and the demand for our properties.

A significant amount of our leases will expire within the next five years and we may have difficulty re-leasing or selling our properties if tenants do not renew their leases.

Within the next five years, approximately 24%Approximately 21% of our leases, based on our ABR as of December 31, 2021,2023, are due to expire.expire within the next five years. If these leases are not renewed or if the properties cannot be re-leased on terms that yield comparable payments, our lease revenues could be substantially adversely affected. In addition, when attempting to re-lease such properties, we may incur significant costs and the terms of any new or renewed leases will depend on prevailing market conditions at that time. We may also seek to sell such properties and incur losses due to prevailing market conditions. Some of our properties are designed for the particular needs of a tenant; thus, we may be required to renovate or make rent concessions in order to lease the property to another tenant. If we need to sell such properties, we may have difficulty selling it to a third party due to the property’s unique design. Real estate investments are generally less liquid than many other financial assets, which may limit our ability to quickly

adjust our portfolio in response to changes in economic or other conditions. These and other limitations may adversely affect returns to our stockholders.

Certain of our leases permit tenants to purchase a property at a predetermined price, which could limit our realization of any appreciation or result in a loss.

Under our existing leases, certain tenants have a right to repurchase the properties they lease from us. The purchase price may be a fixed price or it may be based on a formula or the market value at the time of exercise. If a tenant exercises its right to purchase the property and the property’s market value has increased beyond that price, we would not be able to fully realize the appreciation on that property. Additionally, if the price at which the tenant can purchase the property is less than our carrying value (e.g., where the purchase price is based on an appraised value), we may incur a loss. In addition, we may also be unable to reinvest proceeds from these dispositions in investments with similar or better investment returns.

Our ability to control the management of our net-leased properties is limited, which limits our ability to manage property deterioration risks and could impact our ESG ratings and our ability to make ESG disclosures.

The lack of direct control over our net-leased properties due to the fact that tenants or managers of net-leased properties are responsible for maintenance and other day-to-day management of the properties. If a property is not adequately maintained in accordance with the terms of the applicable lease, we may incur expenses for deferred maintenance expenditures or other liabilities once the property becomes free of the lease. While our leases generally provide for recourse against the tenant in these instances, a bankrupt or financially troubled tenant may be more likely to defer maintenance and it may be more difficult to enforce remedies against such a tenant. Although we endeavor to monitor compliance by tenants with their lease obligations and other factors that could affect the financial performance of our properties on an ongoing basis, we may not always be able to ascertain or forestall deterioration in the condition of a property or the financial circumstances of a tenant.

This lack of control over our net-leased properties also makes it difficult for us to collect property-level environmental metrics and to enforce sustainability initiatives, which may impact our ability to comply with certain ESG disclosure requirements (such as the SEC’s expected new ESG disclosure rules) or engage effectively with established ESG frameworks and standards, such as the Global Real Estate Sustainability Benchmarks, the Task Force for Climate-Related Financial Disclosures and the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board. If we are unable to successfully collect the data necessary to comply with ESG disclosure requirements, we may be subject to increased regulatory risk; and if such data is incomplete or unfavorable, our relationship with our investor base, our stock price, our ESG ratings and our access to capital may be negatively impacted.

The value of our real estate is subjectWe may be materially adversely affected by laws, regulations or other issues related to fluctuation.climate change as well as by potential physical impacts related to climate change.

We are subject to alllaws and regulations related to climate change. For example, the SEC has proposed climate change rules which are expected to be approved in 2024 and, as proposed, would require us to provide extensive information including greenhouse gas emissions and certain climate-related financial metrics in our audited financial statements. The State of California has also enacted new climate change disclosure requirements, including emissions requirements. In addition, the general risks associated with the ownership of real estate, which include:European Union Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (“CSRD”) became effective in 2023 and requires expansive disclosures on various sustainability topics.

While the revenues from our leases are not directly dependent upon the value of the real estate owned, significant declines in real estate values could adversely affect us in many ways, including a decline in the residual values of properties at lease expiration, possible lease abandonment by tenants, and a decline in the attractiveness of triple-net lease transactions to potential sellers.new equipment.

Because mostIn addition to the laws and regulations surrounding climate change, the potential physical impacts of climate change on our operations are highly uncertain.

These changes may result in physical damage to, or a decrease in demand for, our properties are occupiedlocated in the areas affected by a single tenant,these conditions and may adversely impact out tenants’ abilities to fulfill their obligations under their leases.

MostThe direct and indirect impact on us and our tenants from severe weather, flooding, and other effects of climate change, and the economic and reputational impacts of the transition to non-carbon based energy, could adversely affect our financial condition, operating results, and cash flows.

Our properties have historically been impacted by severe weather, but the effects have been small or moderate in scope. In the future, the adverse impacts from hurricanes, water shortages, changing sea levels, flooding, wildfires and other severe weather conditions are occupied bylikely to worsen as a single tenant; therefore, the successresult of our investments is materially dependent on the financial stability of these tenants. Revenues from several of our tenants/guarantors constitute a significant percentage of our lease revenues. Our top ten tenants accounted for approximately 20% of total ABR at December 31, 2021. Lease payment defaults by tenants could negatively impact our net income and reduce the amounts available for distribution to stockholders.
The bankruptcy or insolvency of tenants may cause a reductionclimate change. These events have resulted in our revenue and an increase in our expenses.
We have had, and may in the future have, tenants file for bankruptcy protection. Bankruptcy or insolvency of a tenant could lead to the loss of lease or interestresult in property damage and principal payments, an increase in the carrying cost of the property,closures and litigation. If one or a series of bankruptcies or insolvencies is significant enough (more likely during a period of economic downturn), it could lead to a reduction in the value of our shares and/or a decrease in our dividend. Under U.S. bankruptcy law, a tenant that is the subject of bankruptcy proceedings has the option of assuming or rejecting any unexpired lease. If the tenant rejects the lease, any resulting claim we have for breach of the lease (excluding collateral securing the claim) will be treated as a general unsecured claim and the maximum claim will be capped. In addition, due to the long-term nature of our leases and, in some cases, terms providing for the repurchase of a property by the tenant, a bankruptcy court could recharacterize a net lease transaction as a secured lending transaction. Insolvency laws outside the United States may be more or less favorable to reorganization or the protection of a debtor’s rights as in the United States. In circumstances where the bankruptcy laws of the United States are considered to be more favorable to debtors and/or their reorganization, entities that are not ordinarily perceived as U.S. entities may seek to take advantage of U.S. bankruptcy laws.

The continued disruption and reduced economic activity caused by COVID-19 may severely affect our tenants’ businesses, financial condition and liquidity, leading to an increase in tenant bankruptcy or insolvency. In addition, a portion of our tenants may fail to meet their obligations to us in full (or at all), or may otherwise seek modifications of such obligations. Certain jurisdictions may also enact laws or regulations that impact or alter our ability to collect rent under our existing least terms. The ultimate extent to which COVID-19 will continue toadversely impact the operations of our tenants. Even if these events do not directly impact our properties, they have impacted and may continue to impact us and our tenants will depend on future developments, which remain uncertainthrough increases in insurance, energy or other costs. In addition, the ongoing transition to non-carbon based energy presents certain risks for us and cannot be predicted with confidence. our tenants, including risks related to high energy costs and energy shortages, among other things. Changes in laws or regulations, including federal, state, or local laws, relating to climate change could result in increased capital expenditures to improve the energy efficiency of our properties.

Because we are subject to possible liabilities relating to environmental matters, we could incur unexpected costs and our ability to sell or otherwise dispose of a property may be negatively impacted.
 
We have invested, and may in the future invest, in real properties historically or currently used for industrial, manufacturing, and other commercial purposes, and some of our tenants may handle hazardous or toxic substances, generate hazardous wastes, or discharge regulated pollutants to the environment. Buildings and structures on the properties we purchase may have known or suspected asbestos-containing building materials. We may invest in properties located in countries that have adopted laws or observe environmental management standards that are less stringent than those generally followed in the United States, which may pose a greater risk that releases of hazardous or toxic substances have occurred. We therefore may own properties that have known or potential environmental contamination as a result of historical or ongoing operations, which may expose us to liabilities under environmental laws. Some of these laws could impose the following on us:
 
responsibility and liability for the cost of investigation and removal or remediation (including at appropriate disposal facilities) of hazardous or toxic substances in, on, or migrating from our property, generally without regard to our knowledge of, or responsibility for, the presence of these contaminants;
liability for claims by third parties based on damages to natural resources or property, personal injuries, or costs of removal or remediation of hazardous or toxic substances in, on, or migrating from our property; and
responsibility for managing asbestos-containing building materials and third-party claims for exposure to those materials.
 
Costs relating to investigation, remediation, or removal of hazardous or toxic substances, or for third-party claims for damages, may be substantial and could exceed any amounts estimated and recorded within our consolidated financial statements. The presence of hazardous or toxic substances at any of our properties, or the failure to properly remediate a contaminated property, could (i) give rise to a lien in favor of the government for costs it may incur to address the contamination or (ii) otherwise adversely affect our ability to sell or lease the property or to borrow using the property as collateral. In addition, environmental liabilities, or costs or operating limitations imposed on a tenant by environmental laws, could affect its ability to make rental

The value of our real estate is subject to fluctuation.
We are subject to all of the general risks associated with the ownership of real estate, which include:

adverse changes in general or local economic conditions, including changes in interest rates or foreign exchange rates;
changes in the supply of, or demand for, similar or competing properties;
competition for tenants and changes in market rental rates;
the ongoing need for capital improvements;
Federal Reserve short term rate decisions;

increased operating costs, which may not necessarily be offset by increased rents, including insurance premiums, utilities and real estate taxes, due to inflation and other factors;
exposure to environmental losses and the effects of climate change; and
civil unrest, acts of war, terrorism, acts of God, including earthquakes, hurricanes and other natural disasters (which may result in uninsured losses) and other factors beyond our control.

The bankruptcy or insolvency of tenants may cause a reduction in our revenue and an increase in our expenses.
We have had, and may in the future have, tenants file for bankruptcy protection.

We may not achieve some or all the expected benefits of the Spin-Off and the Office Sale Program.

We may not be able to achieve the full strategic and financial benefits expected to result from the Spin-Off and the Office Sale Program, or such benefits may be delayed due to a variety of circumstances, not all of which may be under our control. We may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the Spin-Off or the Office Sale Program for a variety of reasons, including, among others: (i) the transactions may not generate the anticipated improvements in our cost of or access to capital; and (ii) we may be subject to unexpected costs related to the Spin-Off, including as a result of our indemnification obligations under the Separation and Distribution Agreement or obligations related to indebtedness associated with the transfer of NLOP assets and any guaranties related thereto. Failure to achieve some or all the benefits expected to result from the Spin-Off and the Office Sale Program, or a delay in realizing such benefits, may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We may acquire or develop properties or acquire other real estate related companies, and this may create risks.

We may acquire or develop properties or acquire other real estate related companies when we believe that an acquisition or development is consistent with our business strategies. We may not succeed in consummating desired acquisitions or in completing developments on time or within budget. When we do pursue a project or acquisition, we may not succeed in leasing newly developed or acquired properties at rents sufficient to cover the costs of acquisition or development and operations. Difficulties in integrating acquisitions may prove costly or time-consuming and could divert management’s attention from other activities. Acquisitions or developments in new markets or industries where we do not have the same level of market knowledge may result in poorer than anticipated performance. We may also abandon acquisition or development opportunities that management has begun pursuing and consequently fail to recover expenses already incurred and will have devoted management’s time to a matter not consummated. Furthermore, our acquisitions of new properties or companies will expose us to the liabilities of those properties or companies, some of which we may not be aware of at the time of the acquisition. In addition, development of our existing properties presents similar risks.

Risks Related to Our Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our level of indebtedness could have significant adverse consequences and our cash flow may be insufficient to meet our debt service obligations.

Our consolidated indebtedness as of December 31, 20212023, was approximately $6.8$8.1 billion, representing a consolidated debt to gross assets ratio of approximately 40.1%41.6%. This consolidated indebtedness was comprised of (i) $5.7$6.0 billion in Senior Unsecured Notes (as defined in Note 1012), (ii) $721.2$403.8 million outstanding under our Senior Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility (as defined in Note 1012), (iii) $1.1 billion outstanding under our Unsecured Term Loans (as defined in Note 12), and (iii) $368.5(iv) $579.1 million in non-recourse mortgage loans on various properties. Our level of indebtedness could have significant adverse consequences on our business and operations, including the following:

it may increase our vulnerability to changes in economic conditions (including increases in interest rates) and limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and/or industry;
we may be at a disadvantage compared to our competitors with comparatively less indebtedness;
we may be unable to hedge our debt, or such hedges may fail or expire, leaving us exposed to potentially volatile interest or currency exchange rates;
any default on our secured indebtedness may lead to foreclosures, creating taxable income that could hinder our ability to meet the REIT distribution requirements imposed by the Internal Revenue Code; and
we may be unable to refinance our indebtedness or obtain additional financing as needed or on favorable terms.

Our ability to generate sufficient cash flow determines whether we will be able to (i) meet our existing or potential future debt service obligations; (ii) refinance our existing or potential future indebtedness; and (iii) fund our operations, working capital, acquisitions, capital expenditures, and other important business uses. Our future cash flow is subject to many factors beyond our control and we cannot assure you that our business will generate sufficient cash flow from operations, or that future sources of cash will be available to us on favorable terms, to meet all of our debt service obligations and fund our other important business uses or liquidity needs. As a result, we may be forced to take other actions to meet those obligations, such as selling properties, raising equity, or delaying capital expenditures, any of which may not be feasible or could have a material adverse effect on us. In addition, despite our substantial outstanding indebtedness and the restrictions in the agreements governing our indebtedness, we may incur significantly more indebtedness in the future, which would exacerbate the risks discussed above.

The anticipated replacement of the London Inter-bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) with an alternative reference rate may cause disruptions that will have an adverse effect on us.

In July 2017, the Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”), the authority that regulates LIBOR, announced that it intends to stop compelling banks to submit rates for the calculation of LIBOR after 2021. As a result, the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York organized the Alternative Reference Rates Committee, which identified the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) as its preferred alternative to USD LIBOR in derivatives and other financial contracts. On November 30, 2020, the FCA announced a partial extension of this deadline, indicating its intention to cease the publication of the one-week and two-month USD LIBOR settings immediately following December 31, 2021, and the remaining USD LIBOR settings immediately following the LIBOR publication on June 30, 2023. While we expect LIBOR to be available in substantially its current form until at least such date, it is possible that LIBOR will become unavailable prior to that point; in which case, the risks associated with the transition to an alternative reference rate will be accelerated and magnified. The introduction of an alternative rate also may create additional basis risk and increased volatility as alternative rates are phased in and utilized in parallel with LIBOR.

We have financial contracts that are indexed to LIBOR and have transitioned certain non-USD LIBOR base rates phased out at the end of 2021 to their respective alternative reference rates. Our Senior Unsecured Credit Facility contains provisions that contemplate alternative methods to establishing a base rate upon LIBOR’s retirement. We expect to manage the transition to alternative reference rates using the language set forth in our agreements and through potential modifications to our debt and derivative instruments. In some instances, transitioning to an alternative reference rate may require negotiations with lenders and other counterparties, which could present challenges if we disagree regarding the method of transition. We continue to monitor and evaluate the risks related to potential changes in LIBOR availability, which include potential changes to financial products and market practices, borrowing rates, interest obligations, and the value of debt and derivative instruments. We are not able to predict when LIBOR will ultimately cease to be published or how SOFR will be calculated and implemented as an
W. P. Carey 20212023 10-K 1112


alternative reference rate to USD LIBOR. In addition, there is no guarantee that the transition period will not result in general financial market disruptions, significant increases in benchmark rates or borrowing costs to borrowers, any of which could have an adverse effect on our financing costs, liquidity, results of operations, and overall financial condition.

Restrictive covenants in our credit agreement and indentures may limit our ability to expand or fully pursue our business strategies.

The credit agreement for our Senior Unsecured Credit Facility and the indentures governing our Senior Unsecured Notes contain financial and operating covenants that, among other things, require us to meet specified financial ratios and may limit our ability to take specific actions, even if we believe them to be in our best interest (e.g., subject to certain exceptions, our ability to consummate a merger, consolidation, or a transfer of all or substantially all of our consolidated assets to another person is restricted). These covenants may restrict our ability to expand or fully pursue our business strategies. Our ability to comply with these and other provisions of our debt agreements may be affected by changes in our operating and financial performance, changes in general business and economic conditions, adverse regulatory developments, or other events beyond our control. The breach of any of these covenants could result in a default under our indebtedness, which could result in the acceleration of the maturity of such indebtedness and potentially other indebtedness. If any of our indebtedness is accelerated prior to maturity, we may not be able to repay such indebtedness or refinance such indebtedness on favorable terms, or at all.

A downgrade in our credit ratings could materially adversely affect our business and financial condition as well as the market price of our Senior Unsecured Notes.

We plan to manage our operations to maintain investment grade status with a capital structure consistent with our current profile,profile. In September 2022 our rating was upgraded by Moody’s to Baa1 and in January 2023 our rating was upgraded by S&P Global Ratings to BBB+, but there can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain our current credit ratings. Our credit ratings could change based upon, among other things, our historical and projected business, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations, and prospects. These ratings are subject to ongoing evaluation by credit rating agencies and we cannot provide any assurance that our ratings will not be changed or withdrawn by a rating agency in the future. If any of the credit rating agencies downgrades or lowers our credit rating, or if any credit rating agency indicates that it has placed our rating on a “watch list” for a possible downgrading or lowering, or otherwise indicates that its outlook for our rating is negative, it could have a material adverse effect on our costs and availability of capital, which could in turn have a material adverse effect on us and on our ability to satisfy our debt service obligations (including those under our Senior Unsecured Credit Facility, our Senior Unsecured Notes, or other similar debt securities that we issue) and to pay dividends on our common stock. Furthermore, any such action could negatively impact the market price of our Senior Unsecured Notes.

Some of our properties are encumbered by mortgage debt, which could adversely affect our cash flow.
 
At December 31, 2021,2023, we had $368.5$579.1 million of property-level mortgage debt on a non-recourse basis, which limits our exposure on any property to the amount of equity invested in the property. If we are unable to make our mortgage-related debt payments as required, a lender could foreclose on the property or properties securing its debt. Additionally, lenders for our mortgage loan transactions typically incorporated various covenants and other provisions (including loan to value ratio, debt service coverage ratio, and material adverse changes in the borrower’s or tenant’s business) that can cause a technical loan default. Accordingly, if the real estate value declines or the tenant defaults, the lender would have the right to foreclose on its security. If any of these events were to occur, it could cause us to lose part or all of our investment, which could reduce the value of our portfolio and revenues available for distribution to our stockholders.
 
Some of our property-level financing may also require us to make a balloon payment at maturity. Our ability to make such balloon payments may depend upon our ability to refinance the obligation or sell the underlying property. When a balloon payment is due, however, we may be unable to refinance the balloon payment on terms as favorable as the original loan, make the payment with existing cash or cash resources, or sell the property at a price sufficient to cover the payment. Our ability to accomplish these goals will be affected by various factors existing at the relevant time, such as the state of national and regional economies, local real estate conditions, available mortgage or interest rates, availability of credit, our equity in the mortgaged properties, our financial condition, the operating history of the mortgaged properties, and tax laws. A refinancing or sale could affect the rate of return to stockholders and the projected disposition timeline of our assets.

The issuance of any such classes or series of common stock or preferred stock could also have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control transaction that might otherwise be in the best interests of our stockholders.
Certain provisions of Maryland law could inhibit changes in control.
Certain provisions of the Maryland General Corporation Law (“MGCL”) may have the effect of inhibiting a third party from making a proposal to acquire us or impeding a change of control that could provide our stockholders with the opportunity to realize a premium over the then-prevailing market price of our common stock, including:
“business combination” provisions that, subject to limitations, prohibit certain business combinations between us and an “interested stockholder” (defined generally as any person who beneficially owns 10% or more of the voting power of our outstanding voting stock), or an affiliate thereof, for five years after the most recent date on which the stockholder becomes an interested stockholder, and thereafter imposes special appraisal rights and supermajority voting requirements on these combinations; and
“control share” provisions that provide that holders of “control shares” of our company (defined as outstanding voting shares which, when aggregated with all other shares owned or controlled by the stockholder, entitle the stockholder to exercise one of three increasing ranges of voting power in electing directors) acquired in a “control share acquisition” (defined as the direct or indirect acquisition of ownership or control of issued and outstanding “control shares”) have no voting rights except to the extent approved by our stockholders by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of all the votes entitled to be cast on the matter, excluding all interested shares.shares; and
our charter empowers our Board, without stockholder approval, to increase or decrease the aggregate number of shares of our stock or the number of shares of stock of any class or series that we have authority to issue, classify any unissued shares of common stock or preferred stock, reclassify any previously classified, but unissued, shares of common stock or preferred stock into one or more classes or series of stock, and issue such shares of stock so classified or reclassified, and our Board may determine the relative rights, preferences, and privileges of any class or series of common stock or preferred stock issued, including terms that could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control transaction.
 
The statuteMGCL permits various exemptions from its provisions, including business combinations that are exempted by a board of directors prior to the time that the “interested stockholder” becomes an interested stockholder. Our Board has, by resolution, exempted any business combination between us and any person who is an existing, or becomes in the future, an “interested stockholder.” Consequently, the five-year prohibition and the supermajority vote requirements will not apply to business combinations between us and any such person. As a result, such person may be able to enter into business combinations with us that may not be in the best interest of our stockholders, without compliance with the supermajority vote requirements and the other provisions of the statute. Additionally, this resolution may be altered, revoked, or repealed in whole or in part at any time and we may opt back into the business combination provisions of the MGCL. If this resolution is revoked or repealed, the statute may discourage others from trying to acquire control of us and increase the difficulty of consummating any offer. In the

Risks Related to our REIT Structure
 
While we believe that we are properly organized as a REIT in accordance with applicable law, we cannot guarantee that the Internal Revenue Service will find that we have qualified as a REIT.
 
We believe that we are organized in conformity with the requirements for qualification as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code beginning with our 2012 taxable year and that our current and anticipated investments and plan of operation will enable us to meet and continue to meet the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT. Investors should be aware, however, that the Internal Revenue Service or any court could take a position different from our own. Given the highly complex nature of the rules governing REITs, the ongoing importance of factual determinations, and the possibility of future changes in our circumstances, no assurance can be given that we will qualify as a REIT for any particular year.
 
Furthermore, our qualification and taxation as a REIT will depend on our satisfaction of certain asset, income, organizational, distribution, stockholder ownership, and other requirements on a continuing basis. Our ability to satisfy the quarterly asset tests under applicable Internal Revenue Code provisions and Treasury Regulations will depend on the fair market values of our assets, some of which are not susceptible to a precise determination. Our compliance with the REIT income and quarterly asset requirements also depends upon our ability to successfully manage the composition of our income and assets on an ongoing basis. While we believe that we will satisfy these tests, we cannot guarantee that this will be the case on a continuing basis.

If we fail to remain qualified as a REIT, we would be subject to federal income tax at corporate income tax rates and would not be able to deduct distributions to stockholders when computing our taxable income.
If, in any taxable year, we fail to qualify for taxation as a REIT and are not entitled to relief under the Internal Revenue Code, we will:
not be allowed a deduction for distributions to stockholders in computing our taxable income;
be subject to federal and state income tax, including any applicable alternative minimum tax (for taxable years ending prior to January 1, 2018), on our taxable income at regular corporate rate; and
be barred from qualifying as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year when we were disqualified.
Any such corporate tax liability could be substantial and would reduce the amount of cash available for distributions to our stockholders, which in turn could have an adverse impact on the value of our common stock. This adverse impact could last for five or more years because, unless we are entitled to relief under certain statutory provisions, we will be taxed as a corporation beginning the year in which the failure occurs and for the following four years.
If we fail to qualify for taxation as a REIT, we may need to borrow funds or liquidate some investments to pay the additional tax liability. Were this to occur, funds available for investment would be reduced. REIT qualification involves the application of highly technical and complex provisions of the Internal Revenue Code to our operations, as well as various factual determinations concerning matters and circumstances not entirely within our control. There are limited judicial or administrative interpretations of these provisions. Although we plan to continue to operate in a manner consistent with the REIT qualification rules, we cannot assure you that we will qualify in a given year or remain so qualified.

If we fail to remain qualified as a REIT, we would be subject to federal income tax at corporate income tax rates and would not be able to deduct distributions to stockholders when computing our taxable income.
W. P. Carey 2021 10-K14


If, in any taxable year, we fail to qualify for taxation as a REIT and are not entitled to relief under the Internal Revenue Code, we will:

not be allowed a deduction for distributions to stockholders in computing our taxable income;
be subject to federal and state income tax, including a 15% corporate minimum tax on certain corporations and a 1% excise tax on certain stock repurchases by certain corporations, among other changes, on our taxable income at regular corporate rate; and
be barred from qualifying as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year when we were disqualified.

If we fail to make required distributions, we may be subject to federal corporate income tax.
 
We intend to declare regular quarterly distributions, the amount of which will be determined, and is subject to adjustment, by our Board. To continue to qualify and be taxed as a REIT, we will generally be required to distribute at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (determined without regard to the dividends-paid deduction and excluding net capital gain) each year to our stockholders. Generally, we expect to distribute all, or substantially all, of our REIT taxable income. If our cash available for distribution falls short of our estimates, we may be unable to maintain the proposed quarterly distributions that approximate our taxable income and we may fail to qualify for taxation as a REIT. In addition, our cash flows from operations may be insufficient to fund required distributions as a result of differences in timing between the actual receipt of income and the recognition of income for federal income tax purposes or the effect of nondeductible expenditures (e.g., capital expenditures, payments of compensation for which Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code denies a deduction, the creation of reserves, or required debt service or amortization payments). To the extent we satisfy the 90% distribution requirement, but distribute less than 100% of our REIT taxable income, we will be subject to federal corporate income tax on our undistributed taxable income. We will also be subject to a 4.0% nondeductible excise tax if the actual amount that we pay out to our stockholders for a calendar year is less than a minimum amount specified under the Internal Revenue Code. In addition, in order to continue to qualify as a REIT, any C corporation earnings and profits to which we succeed must be distributed as of the close of the taxable year in which we accumulate or acquire such C corporation’s earnings and profits.
 
W. P. Carey 2023 10-K15


Because certain covenants in our debt instruments may limit our ability to make required REIT distributions, we could be subject to taxation.
 
Our existing debt instruments include, and our future debt instruments may include, covenants that limit our ability to make required REIT distributions. If the limits set forth in these covenants prevent us from satisfying our REIT distribution requirements, we could fail to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a REIT. If the limits set forth in these covenants do not jeopardize our qualification for taxation as a REIT, but prevent us from distributing 100% of our REIT taxable income, we will be subject to federal corporate income tax, and potentially a nondeductible excise tax, on the retained amounts.
 
Because we are required to satisfy numerous requirements imposed upon REITs, we may be required to borrow funds, sell assets, or raise equity on terms that are not favorable to us.
 
In order to meet the REIT distribution requirements and maintain our qualification and taxation as a REIT, we may need to borrow funds, sell assets, or raise equity, even if the then-prevailing market conditions are not favorable for such transactions. If our cash flows are not sufficient to cover our REIT distribution requirements, it could adversely impact our ability to raise short- and long-term debt, sell assets, or offer equity securities in order to fund the distributions required to maintain our qualification and taxation as a REIT. Furthermore, the REIT distribution requirements may increase the financing we need to fund capital expenditures, future growth, and expansion initiatives, which would increase our total leverage.
 
In addition, if we fail to comply with certain asset ownership tests at the end of any calendar quarter, we must generally correct the failure within 30 days after the end of the calendar quarter or qualify for certain statutory relief provisions to avoid losing our REIT qualification. As a result, we may be required to liquidate otherwise attractive investments. These actions may reduce our income and amounts available for distribution to our stockholders.

Because the REIT rules require us to satisfy certain rules on an ongoing basis, our flexibility or ability to pursue otherwise attractive opportunities may be limited.
 
To qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, we must continually satisfy tests concerning, among other things, the sources of our income, the nature and diversification of our assets, the amounts we distribute to our stockholders, and the ownership of our common stock. Compliance with these tests will require us to refrain from certain activities and may hinder our ability to make certain attractive investments, including the purchase of non-qualifying assets, the expansion of non-real estate activities, and investments in the businesses to be conducted by our taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRSs”), thereby limiting our opportunities and the flexibility to change our business strategy. Furthermore, acquisition opportunities in domestic and international markets may be adversely affected if we need or require target companies to comply with certain REIT requirements prior to closing on acquisitions. Also, please see the risk “There can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain cash dividends” below.

W. P. Carey 2021 10-K15


Because the REIT provisions of the Internal Revenue Code limit our ability to hedge effectively, the cost of our hedging may increase and we may incur tax liabilities.
 
The REIT provisions of the Internal Revenue Code limit our ability to hedge assets and liabilities that are not incurred to acquire or carry real estate. Generally, income from hedging transactions that have been properly identified for tax purposes (which we enter into to manage interest rate risk with respect to borrowings to acquire or carry real estate assets) and income from certain currency hedging transactions related to our non-U.S. operations, do not constitute “gross income” for purposes of the REIT gross income tests (such a hedging transaction is referred to as a “qualifying hedge”). In addition, if we enter into a qualifying hedge, but dispose of the underlying property (or a portion thereof) or the underlying debt (or a portion thereof) is extinguished, we can enter into a hedge of the original qualifying hedge, and income from the subsequent hedge will also not constitute “gross income” for purposes of the REIT gross income tests. To the extent that we enter into other types of hedging transactions, the income from those transactions is likely to be treated as non-qualifying income for purposes of the REIT gross income tests. As a result of these rules, we may need to limit our use of advantageous hedging techniques or implement those hedges through a TRS. This could increase the cost of our hedging activities because our TRSs could be subject to tax on income or gains resulting from such hedges or expose us to greater interest rate risks than we would otherwise want to bear. In addition, losses in any of our TRSs generally will not provide any tax benefit, except for being carried forward for use against future taxable income in the TRSs.

W. P. Carey 2023 10-K16


We use TRSs, which may cause us to fail to qualify as a REIT.
 
To qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, we hold our non-qualifying REIT assets and conduct our non-qualifying REIT income activities in or through one or more TRSs. The net income of our TRSs is not required to be distributed to us. Income that is not distributed to us by our domestic TRSs will generally not be subject to the REIT income distribution requirement. However, certain income that is not distributed to us by our foreign TRSs may be deemed distributed to us by operation of certain provisions of the U.S. TaxInternal Revenue Code and generally subject to REIT income distribution requirements. In addition, there may be limitations on our ability to accumulate earnings in our TRSs and the accumulation or reinvestment of significant earnings in our TRSs could result in adverse tax treatment. In particular, if the accumulation of cash in our TRSs causes the fair market value of our TRS interests and certain other non-qualifying assets to exceed 20% of the fair market value of our assets, we would lose tax efficiency and could potentially fail to qualify as a REIT.

Because the REIT rules limit our ability to receive distributions from TRSs, our ability to fund distribution payments using cash generated through our TRSs may be limited.
 
Our ability to receive distributions from our TRSs is limited by the rules we must comply with in order to maintain our REIT status. In particular, at least 75% of our gross income for each taxable year as a REIT must be derived from real estate-related sources, which principally includes gross income from the leasing of our properties. Consequently, no more than 25% of our gross income may consist of dividend income from our TRSs and other non-qualifying income types. Thus, our ability to receive distributions from our TRSs is limited and may impact our ability to fund distributions to our stockholders using cash flows from our TRSs. Specifically, if our TRSs become highly profitable, we might be limited in our ability to receive net income from our TRSs in an amount required to fund distributions to our stockholders commensurate with that profitability.
 
Transactions with our TRSs could cause us to be subject to a 100% penalty tax on certain income or deductions if those transactions are not conducted on an arm’s-length basis.
 
The Internal Revenue Code limits the deductibility of interest paid or accrued by a TRS to its parent REIT to assure that the TRS is subject to an appropriate level of corporate taxation. The Internal Revenue Code also imposes a 100% excise tax on certain transactions between a TRS and its parent REIT that are not conducted on an arm’s-length basis. We will monitor the value of investments in our TRSs in order to ensure compliance with TRS ownership limitations and will structure our transactions with our TRSs on terms that we believe are arm’s-length to avoid incurring the 100% excise tax described above. There can be no assurance, however, that we will be able to comply with the TRS ownership limitation or be able to avoid application of the 100% excise tax.

We may be subject to a limitation on our deductions for business interest expense.

In addition, the deduction for net business interest is generally limited to 30% of the borrower’s adjusted taxable income (excluding non-business income, net operating losses, business interest income, and, for taxable years beginning before January 1, 2022, computed without regard to depreciation and amortization). This limitation on the deductibility of net business interest could result in additional taxable income for us and our subsidiaries that are C corporations, including our TRSs, unless we or our subsidiaries qualify as real estate companies and elect not to be subject to such limitation in exchange for using longer depreciation periods that may otherwise be available.

Because distributions payable by REITs generally do not qualify for reduced tax rates, the value of our common stock could be adversely affected.
 
Certain distributions payable by domestic or qualified foreign corporations to individuals, trusts, and estates in the United States are currently eligible for federal income tax at a maximum rate of 20% plus the 3.8% Medicare tax on net investment income, if
W. P. Carey 2021 10-K16


applicable. Distributions payable by REITs, in contrast, are generally not eligible for this reduced rate, unless the distributions are attributable to dividends received by the REIT from other corporations that would otherwise be eligible for the reduced rate. This more favorable tax rate for regular corporate distributions could cause qualified investors to perceive investments in REITs to be less attractive than investments in the stock of corporations that pay distributions, which could adversely affect the value of REIT stocks, including our common stock.

W. P. Carey 2023 10-K17


Even if we continue to qualify as a REIT, certain of our business activities will be subject to corporate level income tax and foreign taxes, which will continue to reduce our cash flows, and we will have potential deferred and contingent tax liabilities.
 
Even if we qualify for taxation as a REIT, we may be subject to certain (i) federal, state, local, and foreign taxes on our income and assets (including alternative minimum taxes for taxable years ending prior to January 1, 2018);assets; (ii) taxes on any undistributed income and state, local, or foreign income; and (iii) franchise, property, and transfer taxes. In addition, we could be required to pay an excise or penalty tax under certain circumstances in order to utilize one or more relief provisions under the Internal Revenue Code to maintain qualification for taxation as a REIT, which could be significant in amount.
 
Any TRS assets and operations would continue to be subject, as applicable, to federal and state corporate income taxes and to foreign taxes in the jurisdictions in which those assets and operations are located. Any of these taxes would decrease our earnings and our cash available for distributions to stockholders.
 
We will also be subject to a federal corporate level tax at the highest regular corporate rate (currently 21%) on all or a portion of the gain recognized from a sale of assets formerly held by any C corporation that we acquire on a carry-over basis transaction occurring within a five-year period after we acquire such assets, to the extent the built-in gain based on the fair market value of those assets on the effective date of the REIT election is in excess of our then tax basis. The tax on subsequently sold assets will be based on the fair market value and built-in gain of those assets as of the beginning of our holding period. Gains from the sale of an asset occurring after the specified period will not be subject to this corporate level tax. We expect to have only a de minimis amount of assets subject to these corporate tax rules and do not expect to dispose of any significant assets subject to these corporate tax rules.

Because dividends received by foreign stockholders are generally taxable, we may be required to withhold a portion of our distributions to such persons.
 
Ordinary dividends received by foreign stockholders that are not effectively connected with the conduct of a U.S. trade or business are generally subject to U.S. withholding tax at a rate of 30%, unless reduced by an applicable income tax treaty. Additional rules with respect to certain capital gain distributions will apply to foreign stockholders that own more than 10% of our common stock.

The tax imposed on REITs engaging in “prohibited transactions” may limit our ability to engage in transactions which would be treated as sales for federal income tax purposes.

A REIT’s net income from prohibited transactions is subject to a 100% penalty tax. In general, prohibited transactions are sales or other dispositions of property, other than foreclosure property, held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of business, unless certain safe harbor exceptions apply. Although we do not intend to hold any properties that would be characterized as held for sale to customers in the ordinary course of our business, such characterization is a factual determination and no guarantee can be given that the IRS would agree with our characterization of our properties or that we will always be able to satisfy the available safe harbors.
 
The ability of our Board to revoke our REIT election, without stockholder approval, may cause adverse consequences for our stockholders.
 
Our organizational documents permit our Board to revoke or otherwise terminate our REIT election, without the approval of our stockholders, if it determines that it is no longer in our best interest to continue to qualify as a REIT. If we cease to be a REIT, we will not be allowed a deduction for dividends paid to stockholders in computing our taxable income and we will be subject to federal income tax at regular corporate rate and state and local taxes, which may have adverse consequences on the total return to our stockholders.

Federal and state income tax laws governing REITs and related interpretations may change at any time, and any such legislative or other actions affecting REITs could have a negative effect on us and our stockholders.

Federal and state income tax laws governing REITs or the administrative interpretations of those laws may be amended at any time. Federal, state, and foreign tax laws are under constant review by persons involved in the legislative process, at the Internal Revenue Service and the U.S. Department of the Treasury, and at various state and foreign tax authorities. Changes to tax laws, regulations, or administrative interpretations, which may be applied retroactively, could adversely affect us or our stockholders. We cannot predict whether, when, in what forms, or with what effective dates, the tax laws, regulations, and administrative
W. P. Carey 2023 10-K18


interpretations applicable to us or our stockholders may be changed. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that any such change will not significantly affect our ability to qualify for taxation as a REIT or the federal income tax consequences to you or us.

W. P. Carey 2021 10-K17


Risks Related to Our Overall Business

We are subject to the volatility of the capital markets, which may impact our ability to deploy capital.

The trading volume and market price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly and be adversely impacted in response to a number of factors.factors, including disruption in the banking industry, continued inflation, and other macroeconomic developments. Therefore, our current or historical trading volume and share prices are not indicative of the number of shares of our common stock that will trade going forward or how the market will value shares of our common stock in the future. In addition, the capital markets may experience extreme volatility, disruption and periods of dislocation (e.g., during pandemics or a global financial crisis), which could make it more difficult for us to raise capital. Since net-lease REITs must be able to deploy capital with agility and consistency, if we cannot access the capital markets upon favorable terms or at all, we may be required to liquidate one or more investments, including when an investment has not yet realized its maximum return, which could also result in adverse tax consequences and affect our ability to capitalize on acquisition opportunities and/or meet operational needs. Moreover, market turmoil could lead to decreased consumer confidence and widespread reduction of business activity, which may materially and adversely impact us, including our ability to acquire and dispose of properties.

Future issuances of debt and equity securities may negatively affect the market price of our common stock.

We may issue debt or equity securities or incur additional borrowings in the future. Future issuances of debt securities would increase our interest costs and rank senior to our common stock upon our liquidation, and additional issuances of equity securities would dilute the holdings of our existing common stockholders (and any preferred stock may rank senior to our common stock for the purposes of making distributions), both of which may negatively affect the market price of our common stock. However, our future growth will depend, in part, upon our ability to raise additional capital, including through the issuance of debt and equity securities. Because our decision to issue additional debt or equity securities or incur additional borrowings in the future will depend on market conditions and other factors beyond our control, we cannot predict or estimate the amount, timing, nature, or success of our future capital raising efforts. Thus, common stockholders bear the risk that our future issuances of debt or equity securities, or our incurrence of additional borrowings, will negatively affect the market price of our common stock.

There can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain cash dividends.

In September 2023, we announced that we were resetting our dividend policy, targeting an AFFO payout ratio of approximately 70% to 75%. Our ability to continue to pay dividends in the future may be adversely affected by the risk factors described in this Report. More specifically, while we expect to continue our current dividend practices, we can give no assurance that we will be able to maintain dividend levels in the future for various reasons, including the following:

there is no assurance that rents from our properties will increase or that future acquisitions will increase our cash available for distribution to stockholders, and we may not have enough cash to pay such dividends due to changes in our cash requirements, capital plans, cash flow, or financial position;
our Board, in its sole discretion, determines the amount and timing of any future dividend payments to our stockholders based on a number of factors, therefore our dividend levels are not guaranteed and may fluctuate; and
the amount of dividends that our subsidiaries may distribute to us may be subject to restrictions imposed by state law or regulators, as well as the terms of any current or future indebtedness that these subsidiaries may incur.

Furthermore, certain agreements relating to our borrowings may, under certain circumstances, prohibit or otherwise restrict our ability to pay dividends to our common stockholders. Future dividends, if any, are expected to be based upon our earnings, financial condition, cash flows and liquidity, debt service requirements, capital expenditure requirements for our properties, financing covenants, and applicable law. If we do not have sufficient cash available to pay dividends, we may need to fund the shortage out of working capital or revenues from future acquisitions, if any, or borrow to provide funds for such dividends, which would reduce the amount of funds available for investment and increase our future interest costs. Our inability to pay dividends, or to pay dividends at expected levels, could adversely impact the market price of our common stock.

We may make investments in asset classes or countries outside of our core investment strategy which may be perceived as complicating our strategy relative to our peers.

We may need to expand beyond our current asset class mix to grow our portfolio. As a result, we intend, to the extent that market conditions warrant, to seek to grow our business by increasing our investments in existing businesses, pursuing new investment strategies (including investment opportunities in new asset classes), developing new types of investment structures and becauseproducts, and expanding into new geographic markets and businesses. Introducing new types of investment structures and products could increase the complexities involved in managing such investments, including to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements and terms of the likelihood that materially different amounts wouldinvestment. Making investments in assets classes or countries outside of our core investment strategy may also be recorded under different conditions or using different assumptions.

Failure to recruit from a diverse pool of qualified candidates, particularly in light of recent labor shortages triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic, could negatively impact the dynamic growth of our company. In addition, the nature of our executive officers’ experience and the extent of the relationships they have developed with real estate professionals and financial institutions are important to the success of our business. We cannot provide any assurances regarding their continued employment with us. The loss of the services of certain of our executive officers could detrimentally affect our business and prospects, and a sustained labor shortage or increased turnover rates among our employees, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic or other factors, could increase costs and materially adversely affect our business.operations.

The occurrence of cyber incidents, or a deficiency in our cyber security, could negatively impact our business by causing a disruption to our operations, a compromise or corruption of our confidential information, and/or damage to our business relationships, all of which could negatively impact our financial results.
 
A cyber incident is considered to be any adverse event that threatens the confidentiality, integrity, or availability of our information resources, which could be an intentional attack or an unintentional accident or error. We use informationInformation technology, communication networks, and other computer resources are essential for us to carry out important operational activities and to maintain our business records. With the advent of remote work environments and technologies, we face heightened cybersecurity risks as our employees and counterparties increasingly depend on the internet and face greater exposure to malware and phishing attacks. These heightened cybersecurity risks may increase our vulnerability to cyber-attacks and cause disruptions to our internal control procedures.

In addition, we may store or come into contact with sensitive information and data. If we or our third-party service providers fail to comply with applicable privacy or data security laws in handling this information, including the General Data Protection Regulation and the California Consumer Privacy Act, we could face significant legal and financial exposure to claims of governmental agencies and parties whose privacy is compromised, including sizable fines and penalties.

We have implemented processes, procedures, and controls, which are reviewed periodically and are intended to address ongoing and evolving cyber security risks, butrisks. However, these measures as well as our increased awareness of a risk of a cyber incident, do not guarantee that our financial results will not be negatively impacted by such an incident.incident, especially in light of the fact that it is not always possible to anticipate, detect, or recognize threats to our systems. The primary risks that could directly result from the occurrence of a cyber incident include operational interruption, damage to our relationship with our tenants, expensive remediation efforts, liability exposure under federal and state law, and private data exposure. A significant and extended disruption could damage our business or reputation; cause a loss of revenue; have an adverse effect on tenant relations; cause an unintended or unauthorized public disclosure; or lead to the misappropriation of proprietary, personal identifying and confidential information; all of which could result in us incurring significant expenses to address and remediate or otherwise resolve these kinds of issues. There can be no assurance that the insurance we maintain to cover some of these risks will be sufficient to cover the losses from any future breaches of our systems.

Our business may continueFurther information relating to be adversely affected by COVID-19.

We are unable to predict the impact of ongoing disruptions caused by additional surges of COVID-19 transmission.

Management and Board Oversight

We are committed to cybersecurity and vigilantly protecting all our resources and information from unauthorized access. Our cybersecurity approach incorporates a layered portfolio of comprehensive employee training programs, multiple resources to manage and monitor the evolving threat landscape, effective Board oversight of cybersecurity risks and knowledgeable teams responsible for preventing and detecting cybersecurity risks.

As part of the Board’s oversight of risk management, the Board reviews our cyber-risks with management and the actions we are taking to mitigate such risks. These actions include implementing industry-recognized practices for protecting systems, third-party monitoring of certain systems and cybersecurity training for employees. Board oversight of risk is also performed as needed between meetings through the Audit Committee and communications between management and the Board. The Board receives periodic education around cybersecurity risks and best practices.

Additionally, the Audit Committee, which consists solely of independent directors, is responsible for overseeing cybersecurity risks and related initiatives. The Audit Committee reviews our enterprise risk and cybersecurity risks. It also reviews the steps management has taken to protect against threats to our information systems and security and receives updates on cybersecurity on a quarterly basis.

Our information technology team is led by our Chief Information Officer who has extensive experience working with information security systems. Our information technology team consists of individuals with expertise in assessing, preventing and addressing cybersecurity risk and is responsible for executing our cybersecurity program as well as communicating regularly with senior management, our cybersecurity governance committee, the Audit Committee and the Board. Our cybersecurity governance committee, comprised of our Chief Financial Officer, Chief Legal Officer, Chief Information Officer, Head of Internal Audit and senior members of our information technology team are responsible for developing and maintaining our cybersecurity policies and standards, monitoring ongoing compliance and program updates, and ensuring our information security is aligned with our business objectives and strategies.

Processes for Assessing, Identifying and Managing Material Risks from Cybersecurity Threats

Our cybersecurity program focuses on (1) preventing and preparing for cybersecurity incidents, (2) detecting and analyzing cybersecurity incidents and (3) containing, eradicating, recovering from and reporting cybersecurity events.

Prevention and Preparation

We employ a variety of measures to prevent threats related to privacy, information technology security and cybersecurity, which include password protection, frequent mandatory password change events, multi-factor authentication, internal phishing testing, vulnerability scanning and penetration testing.

Our information technology and internal audit teams utilize frameworks based on industry standards to identify and mitigate information security risks and oversee an active cybersecurity training program. For example, in January 2023, our information technology team held a tabletop exercise with senior management to consider different cybersecurity scenarios. Our information technology team also recently worked with various third-party consultants to update our incident response plan.

In addition, our information technology team conducts routine security assessments as well as ongoing cybersecurity training campaigns for employees to enhance awareness and increase vigilance for the various types of cybersecurity attacks to which they may be exposed. Our internal audit team evaluates and monitors our internal controls over systems access in an effort to mitigate information security risks that may result from unauthorized access to systems and data.

Third-party vendors are vetted through our service delivery program to ensure they have an established cybersecurity program. We have also engaged our managed security provider to manage a supply chain defense subscription that will help obtain clear visibility into cybersecurity risks across third party vendors by proactively identifying, prioritizing, and driving remediation for cyber risks posed by critical business partners. Our managed security provider’s risk operations center will escalate certain alerts regarding third-party vendors directly to the appropriate business partners thus providing direct collaboration with third parties, saving time and improving risk reduction while safeguarding our relationships with such third parties.

W. P. Carey 2023 10-K21


Detection and Analysis

Cybersecurity incidents may be detected through a variety of means, including but not limited to automated event-detection notifications or similar technologies which are monitored by our managed cybersecurity provider, notifications from employees, vendors or service providers, and notifications from third party information technology system providers. Once a potential cybersecurity incident is identified, including a third party cybersecurity event, the incident response team designated pursuant to our incident response plan follows the procedures set forth in the plan to investigate the potential incident, such as determining the nature of the event (e.g., ransomware or personal data breach) and assessing the severity of the event and sensitivity of any compromised data.

Containment, Eradication, Recovery, and Reporting

In the event of a cybersecurity incident, the incident response team is initially focused on containing the cybersecurity incident as quickly and efficiently as possible, consistent with the procedures in the incident response plan. Containment procedures may include shutting down systems; disconnecting systems from a network, disabling specific ports, protocols, services, functions, etc., disabling access to compromised systems; examining code in a controlled environment and making forensic backups of affected systems for possible legal action for third party forensic analysis.

Once a cybersecurity incident is contained, the focus shifts to remediation. Eradication and recovery activities depend on the nature of the cybersecurity incident. They may include returning affected systems to an operationally ready state, confirming that the affected systems are functioning normally and implementing, as necessary, additional monitoring to look for future related activity.

We have relationships with a number of third party service providers to assist with cybersecurity containment and remediation efforts, including outside legal counsel, vendors and external insurance brokers.

In the event of a cybersecurity incident, we intend to follow the steps outlined in our incident response plan, including notifying our senior management, as appropriate.

Following the conclusion of an incident, we, with the assistance of the incident response team, will generally reassess the effectiveness of the cybersecurity program and incident response plan, make adjustments as appropriate and report to our senior management and our Audit Committee on these matters.

Cybersecurity Risks

As of December 31, 2023, we are not aware of any material cybersecurity incidents that impacted the Company in the last three years. However, we routinely face risks of potential incidents, whether through cyber-attacks or cyber intrusions over the Internet, ransomware and other forms of malware, computer viruses, attachments to emails, phishing attempts, extortion or other scams. For a discussion of these risks, see Item 1A. Risk Factors — The occurrence of cyber incidents, or a deficiency in our cyber security, could negatively impact our business by causing a disruption to our operations, a compromise or corruption of our confidential information, and/or damage to our business relationships, all of which could negatively impact our financial results.

Significant Developments

COVID-19Strategic Office Exit

We continueIn September 2023, we announced a plan to actively engageexit the office assets within our portfolio by (i) spinning-off 59 office properties into NLOP, so that it became a separate publicly-traded REIT, and (ii) implementing the Office Sale Program, which is targeted to be completed in discussions with our tenants regarding the impactfirst half of 2024.

NLOP Spin-Off

On November 1, 2023, we completed the Spin-Off of 59 office properties into NLOP, as described in further detail in Note 3. Following the closing of the COVID-19 pandemic on their business operations, liquidity, and financial position. ThroughSpin-Off, NLOP operates as a separate publicly-traded REIT, for which we serve as advisor pursuant to the NLOP Advisory Agreements executed in connection with the Spin-Off.

Office Sale Program

In addition to the Spin-Off, 87 of our office properties will be sold under the Office Sale Program, which is targeted to be completed in the first half of 2024. These properties generated ABR totaling approximately $76 million as of the date of the Office Sale Program announcement. Seventy-nine of the 87 office properties have been sold as of the date of this Report, we have received from tenants over 99.8%for gross proceeds of contractual base rent due during the fourth quarter of 2021 (based on contractual minimum annualized base rent (“ABR”approximately $608.1 million (Note 19) as of September 30, 2021). Given the ongoing uncertainty surrounding the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, we are unable to predict its effect on our tenants’ continued ability to pay rent. Therefore, information provided in this Report regarding rent collections should not serve as an indication of expected future rent collections.

Terms and Definitions

Pro Rata Metrics —The portfolio information above contains certain metrics prepared on a pro rata basis. We refer to these metrics as pro rata metrics. We have a number ofcertain investments usually with our affiliates, in which our economic ownership is less than 100%. On a full consolidation basis, we report 100% of the assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses of those investments that are deemed to be under our control or for which we are deemed to be the primary beneficiary, even if our ownership is less than 100%. Also, for all other jointly owned investments, which we do not control, we report our net investment and our net income or loss from that investment. On a pro rata basis, we generally present our proportionate share, based on our economic ownership of these jointly owned investments, of the portfolio metrics of those investments. Multiplying each of our jointly owned investments’ financial statement line items by our percentage ownership and adding or subtracting those amounts from our totals, as applicable, may not accurately depict the legal and economic implications of holding an ownership interest of less than 100% in our jointly owned investments.

ABR ABR represents contractual minimum annualized base rent for our net-leased properties and reflects exchange rates as of December 31, 2021.2023. If there is a rent abatement, we annualize the first monthly contractual base rent following the free rent period. ABR is not applicable to operating properties.

For the year ended December 31, 20212023 as compared to 2020,2022, depreciation and amortization expense for net-leased properties and self-storage operating properties increased primarily due to the impact of net acquisition activity and(including properties acquired in the strengthening of foreign currencies (primarily the euro) in relation to the U.S. dollar between the periods,CPA:18 Merger (Note 4)), partially offset by in-place lease intangible assets recorded on certain net-leased self-storage properties becoming fully amortized during 2020.

Beginning with the second quarterimpact of 2020, corporate depreciation and amortization expense is fully recognized within our Real Estate segment, consistent with the segment allocation changes described below under Spin-Off (General and AdministrativeNote 3).

General and Administrative

Beginning with the second quarter of 2020, general and administrative expenses attributed to our Investment Management segment are comprised of the incremental costs of providing services to the Managed Programs, which are fully reimbursed by those funds (resulting in no net expense for us). All other general and administrative expenses are attributed torecognized within our Real Estate segment. Previously, general and administrative expenses were allocated based on time incurred by our personnel for the Real Estate and Investment Management segments. In light of the termination of the advisory agreements with CWI 1 and CWI 2 in connection with the WLT management internalization (Note 3), we now view essentially all assets, liabilities, and operational expenses as part of our Real Estate segment, other than incremental activities that are expected to wind down as we manage CPA:18 – Global and CESH through the end of their respective life cycles (Note 2). This change between the segments had no impact on our consolidated financial statements.

For the year ended December 31, 20212023 as compared to 2020,2022, general and administrative expenses allocated to our Real Estate segment increased by $11.8$7.1 million, primarily due to (i) higher incentive compensation expense, (ii) lower overheadincreased employee benefits expense, increased professional fees and expenses resulting from the assets acquired in the CPA:18 Merger (Note 4), and no longer receiving reimbursements from WLT following the termination of all services provided under the transition services agreement, and (iii) the change in methodology for allocation of expenses between our Real Estate and Investment Management segments discussed above.CPA:18 – Global.

Gain on Change in Control of Interests

In connection with the CPA:18 Merger, during the year ended December 31, 2022, we acquired the remaining interests in four investments in which we already had a joint interest and accounted for under the equity method. Due to the change in control of these four jointly owned investments, we recorded a gain on change in control of interests of $11.4 million reflecting the difference between our carrying values and the preliminary estimated fair values of our previously held equity interests on August 1, 2022. Subsequent to the CPA:18 Merger, we consolidated these wholly owned investments (Note 4).

Provision for) Benefit fromfor Income Taxes

For the year ended December 31, 2021, we recorded a2023 as compared to 2022, provision for income taxes of $28.7 million, compared to a benefit from income taxes of $18.5 million recognized during the year ended December 31, 2020, within our Real Estate segment. During the year ended December 31, 2020, we recognized a deferred tax benefit of $37.2segment increased by $23.0 million, primarily due to (i) higher current taxes as a result of the release of arent increases driven by CPI adjustments at existing international properties, (ii) deferred tax liability relating to our investment in shares of Lineage Logistics (Note 13), which converted to a REITbenefits recognized during the prior year period related to the release of valuation allowances on certain foreign properties, and is therefore no longer subject to federal and state income taxes. In addition,(iii) the impact of international taxes increased due to acquisitions and various new tax laws and regulations.property acquisitions.

Asset Management and Other Revenue
 
Asset management and other revenue includes asset management revenue, structuring revenue, and other advisory revenue. During the periods presented, we earned asset management revenue from (i) NLOP (since the Spin-Off on November 1, 2023 (Note 3)) based on an annual fee of $7.5 million, which will be proportionately reduced following the disposition of a portfolio property, (ii) CESH based on its gross assets under management at fair value, and (iii) CPA:18 – Global (prior to the CPA:18 Merger) based on the value of its real estate-related assets under management, (ii) the CWI REITs, prior to the CWI 1 and CWI 2 Merger (Note 3), based on the value of their lodging-related real estate assets under management, and (iii) CESH based on its gross assets under management at fair value. Asset management revenue may increase or decrease depending upon changes in the Managed Programs’ asset bases as a result of purchases, sales, or changes in the appraised value of the real estate-related and lodging-related assets in their investment portfolios.management. For 2021,2023, we received asset management feesrevenue from (i) CPA:18 – Global in shares of its common stock,NLOP and (ii) CESH in cash. Asset management revenues from NLOP and CESH are expected to decline as assets are sold.

Other Advisory Income and Reimbursements
We
Under the advisory agreement with NLOP, we earn structuringa base administrative amount of approximately $4.0 million annually, for certain administrative services, including day-to-day management services, investor relations, accounting, tax, legal, and other advisory revenue when we structure new investments on behalf of the Managed Programs. Since we no longer raise capital for new or existing funds, and we no longer serve as advisor to CWI 1 and CWI 2 (Note 3), structuring and other advisory revenue has recently been and is expected to be insignificant going forward.
For the year ended December 31, 2020, structuring and other advisory revenue was comprised of $0.3 million for structuring a mortgage refinancing on behalf of CWI 2 and $0.2 million related to increasesadministrative matters, paid in build-to-suit funding commitments for certain CPA:18 – Global investments.cash.

Beginning with the second quarter of 2020, general and administrative expenses attributed to ourImpairment Charges — Investment Management segment are comprised of the incremental costs of providing services to the Managed Programs, which are fully reimbursed by those funds (resulting in no net expense for us). All other general and administrative expenses are attributed to our Real Estate segment. Previously, general and administrative expenses were allocated basedGoodwill

In addition, beginning with the second quarter of 2020, stock-based compensation expense and corporate depreciation and amortization expensegoodwill are more fully recognized within our Real Estate segment. In light of the termination of the advisory agreements with CWI 1 and CWI 2described in connection with the WLT management internalization (Note 310), we now view essentially all assets, liabilities, and operational expenses as part of our Real Estate segment, other than incremental activities that are expected to wind down as we manage CPA:18 – Global and CESH through the end of their respective life cycles (Note 2). These changes between the segments had no impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Benefit from (Provision for) Income Taxes

For the year ended December 31, 2021 as compared to 2020,2023 we recorded a benefit from income taxes within our Investment Management segment decreased by $2.0 million. Duringof $0.4 million, compared to a provision for income taxes of $6.3 million recognized during the year ended December 31, 2020, we recognized (i) a deferred tax benefit of $6.3 million as a result of the other-than-temporary impairment charges that we recognized on our equity method investments in CWI 1 and CWI 2 during the period, (ii) a current tax benefit of $4.7 million as a result of carrying back certain net operating losses in accordance with the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) that was enacted on March 27, 2020, and (iii) deferred tax expense of $8.3 million due to the establishment of a valuation allowance since we do not expect our Investment Management segment to realize its deferred tax assets.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Sources and Uses of Cash During the Year

We use the cash flow generated from our investments primarily to meet our operating expenses, service debt, and fund dividends to stockholders. Our cash flows fluctuate periodically due to a number of factors, which may include, among other things: the timing of our equity and debt offerings; the timing of purchases and sales of real estate; the timing of the repayment of mortgage loans, our Senior Unsecured Notes, and our Unsecured Term Loans; the timing of our receipt of lease revenues; the timing and amount of other lease-related payments; the timing of settlement of foreign currency transactions; changes in foreign currency exchange rates; the receipt of asset management fees in either shares of the common stock of CPA:18 – Global or cash;and the timing of distributions from equity investments in the Managed Programsmethod investments. We no longer receive certain fees and real estate; and the receipt of distributions of Available Cash from CPA:18 – Global.Global following the completion of the CPA:18 Merger on August 1, 2022 (Note 4). Despite these fluctuations, we believe that we will generate sufficient cash from operations to meet our normal recurring short-term and long-term liquidity needs. We may also use existing cash resources, available capacity under our Senior Unsecured Credit Facility, proceeds from term loans or other bank debt, proceeds from dispositions of properties (including expected proceeds from the exercise of purchase options and the Office Sale Program (Note 1)), and the issuance of additional debt or equity securities, such as issuances of common stock through our Equity Forwards and ATM Program (Note 1214), in order to meet theseour short-term and long-term liquidity needs. We assess our ability to access capital on an ongoing basis. Our sources and uses of cash during the period are described below.

Our cash resources can be used for working capital needs and other commitments and may be used for future investments.

Cash Requirements and Liquidity
 
As of December 31, 2021,2023, we had $165.4(i) $633.9 million of cash and cash equivalents and (ii) approximately $1.4$1.6 billion of available capacity under our Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility (net of amounts reserved for standby letters of credit totaling $1.2$6.5 million), and available proceeds under our Equity Forwards of approximately $293.7 million (based on 3,925,000 remaining shares outstanding and a net offering price of $74.84 as of that date). Our Senior Unsecured Credit Facility includes (i) a $1.8$2.0 billion Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility and(scheduled to mature on February 14, 2029), (ii) our Unsecured Term Loans due 2028 totaling $576.5 million outstanding (scheduled to mature on February 14, 2028), and (iii) our Unsecured Term Loan due 2026 totaling $310.6$549.1 million outstanding (scheduled to mature on April 24, 2026), as of December 31, 20212023 (Note 1012), and is scheduled to mature on February 20, 2025.. As of December 31, 2021,2023, scheduled debt principal payments total $45.8$1.3 billion during 2024 and $707.3 million through December 31, 2022 and $236.7 million through December 31, 2023, and our Senior Unsecured Notes do not start to mature until April 2024during 2025 (Note 1012).

During the next 12 months following December 31, 20212023 and thereafter, we expect that our significant cash requirements will include:

paying dividends to our stockholders;
funding acquisitions of new investments (Note 6);
funding future capital commitments (Note 6) and tenant improvement allowances;
making scheduled principal and balloon payments on our debt obligations, including (i) $500 million of senior notes due in April 2024 and (ii) €500 million of senior notes due in July 2024 (Note 1012);
making scheduled interest payments on our debt obligations (future interest payments total $884.3$939.6 million, with $169.6$229.4 million due during the next 12 months; interest on unhedged variable-rate debt obligations was calculated using the applicable annual variable interest rates and balances outstanding at December 31, 2021);
funding future capital commitments and tenant improvement allowances (Note 4)2023); and
other normal recurring operating expenses.

We expect to fund these cash requirements through cash generated from operations, cash received from dispositions of properties, the use of our cash reserves or unused amounts on our Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility (as described above), proceeds from term loans or other bank debt, issuances of common stock through our Equity Forwards and/or ATM Program (Note 1214), and potential issuances of additional debt or equity securities. We may also choose to pursue the acquisitions of new investments and prepayments ofprepay certain of our non-recourse mortgage loan obligations, depending on our capital needs and improvements in market conditions at that time.

Our liquidity could be adversely affected by unanticipated costs and greater-than-anticipated operating expenses, and the adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.expenses. To the extent that our working capital reserve is insufficient to satisfy our cash requirements, additional funds may be provided from cash from operations to meet our normal recurring short-term and long-term liquidity needs. We may also use existing cash resources, available capacity under our Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility, mortgage loan proceeds, and the issuance of additional debt or equity securities to meet these needs. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts our liquidity and debt covenants will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence. The potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our tenants and properties could also have a material adverse effect on our liquidity and debt covenants.

Certain amounts disclosed above are based on the applicable foreign currency exchange rate at December 31, 2021.2023.

Environmental Obligations

In connection with the purchase of many of our properties, we required the sellers to perform environmental reviews. We believe, based on the results of these reviews, that our properties were in substantial compliance with federal, state, and foreign environmental statutes at the time the properties were acquired. However, portions of certain properties have been subject to some degree of contamination, principally in connection with leakage from underground storage tanks, surface spills, or other on-site activities. In most instances where contamination has been identified, tenants are actively engaged in the remediation process and addressing identified conditions. We believe that the ultimate resolution of any environmental matters should not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, liquidity, or results of operations. We record environmental obligations within Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities in the consolidated financial statements. See Item 1A. Risk Factors for further discussion of potential environmental risks.

Critical Accounting Estimates
 
Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2. Many of these accounting policies require judgment and the use of estimates and assumptions when applying these policies in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. On a quarterly basis, we evaluate these estimates and judgments based on historical experience as well as other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates are subject to change in the future if underlying assumptions or factors change. Certain accounting policies, while significant, may not require the use of estimates. ThoseBelow is a summary of certain critical accounting estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. Please also refer to our accounting policies that require significant estimation and/or judgment are described under Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates in Note 2. The proposed accounting changes that may potentially impact our business are also described under Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements in Note 2.

Accounting for Acquisitions

In accordance with the guidance for business combinations and asset acquisitions, we recognize the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquired entity. When we acquire properties with leases classified as operating leases, we allocate the purchase price to the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities acquired based on their estimated fair values.

The tangible assets consist of land, buildings, and site improvements. The intangible assets and liabilities include the above- and below-market value of leases and the in-place leases, which includes the value of tenant relationships. The recorded allocations of tangible and intangible assets incorporate discount rates, capitalization rates, interest rates, market rents, leasing commissions, and certain other assumptions and estimates. We use considerable judgment in developing such assumptions and estimates, and significant increases or decreases in these key assumptions and estimates would result in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement of the real estate assets being acquired.

Impairments of Real Estate

For real estate assets held for investment and related intangible assets in which an impairment indicator is identified, we follow a two-step process to determine whether an asset is impaired and to determine the amount of the charge. First, we compare the carrying value of the property’s asset group to the estimated future net undiscounted cash flow that we expect the property’s asset group will generate, including any estimated proceeds from the eventual sale of the property’s asset group. The undiscounted cash flow analysis requires us to make our best estimate of market rents, residual values, and holding periods. We estimate market rents and residual values using market information from outside sources such as third-party market research, external appraisals, broker quotes, or recent comparable sales.

As our investment objective is to hold properties on a long-term basis, holding periods used in the undiscounted cash flow analysis are generally ten years, but may be less if our intent is to hold a property for less than ten years. Depending on the assumptions made and estimates used, the future cash flow projected in the evaluation of long-lived assets and associated intangible assets can vary within a range of outcomes. We consider the likelihood of possible outcomes in determining our estimate of future cash flows and, if warranted, we apply a probability-weighted method to the different possible scenarios. If the future net undiscounted cash flow of the property’s asset group is less than the carrying value, the carrying value of the property’s asset group is considered not recoverable. We then measure the impairment loss as the excess of the carrying value of the property’s asset group over its estimated fair value.

Supplemental Financial Measures
 
In the real estate industry, analysts and investors employ certain non-GAAP supplemental financial measures in order to facilitate meaningful comparisons between periods and among peer companies. Additionally, in the formulation of our goals and in the evaluation of the effectiveness of our strategies, we use Funds from Operations (“FFO”) and AFFO, which are non-GAAP measures defined by our management. We believe that these measures are useful to investors to consider because they may assist them to better understand and measure the performance of our business over time and against similar companies. A description of FFO and AFFO and reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures are provided below.
 
Funds from Operations and Adjusted Funds from Operations
 
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 salesthe sale of property,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.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 direct financingfinance 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, and spin-off expenses. We also exclude realized and unrealized gains/losses on foreign currency exchange transactionsrate 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.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
 
Market Risk
 
Market risk is the exposure to loss resulting from changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, and equity prices. The primary market risks that we are exposed to are interest rate risk and foreign currency exchange risk; however, we do not use derivative instruments to hedge credit/market risks or for speculative purposes. From time to time, we may enter into foreign currency collars to hedge our foreign currency cash flow exposures.

We are also exposed to further market risk as a result of tenant concentrations in certain industries and/or geographic regions, since adverse market factors (such as the COVID-19 pandemic) can affect the ability of tenants in a particular industry/region to meet their respective lease obligations. In order to manage this risk, we view our collective tenant roster as a portfolio and we attempt to diversify such portfolio so that we are not overexposed to a particular industry or geographic region.

Interest Rate Risk
 
The values of our real estate and related fixed-rate debt obligations, as well as the values of our unsecured debt obligations, are subject to fluctuations based on changes in interest rates. The value of our real estate is also subject to fluctuations based on local and regional economic conditions (including the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic) and changes in the creditworthiness of lessees, which may affect our ability to refinance property-level mortgage debt when balloon payments are scheduled, if we do not choose to repay the debt when due. Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors, including governmental monetary and tax policies, domestic and international economic and political conditions, and other factors beyond our control. An increase in interest rates would likely cause the fair value of our owned and managed assets to decrease, which would create lower revenues from managed assets and lower investment performance for the Managed Programs.decrease. Increases in interest rates may also have an impact on the credit profile of certain tenants.

We are exposed to the impact of interest rate changes primarily through our borrowing activities. To limit this exposure, we generally seek long-term debt financing on a fixed-rate basis. However, from timewe are subject to time, we orvariable-rate interest on our joint investment partners obtained,Unsecured Term Loans, Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility, and may in the future obtain, variable-ratecertain of our non-recourse mortgage loans and, as a result, wedebt. We have entered into, and may continue to enter into, interest rate swap agreements or interest rate cap agreements with counterparties.counterparties related to certain of our variable-rate debt. See Note 911 for additional information on our interest rate swaps and caps.
 
At December 31, 2021, a significant portion (approximately 88.6%) of our long-term debt either bore interest at fixed rates or was swapped or capped to a fixed rate. Our debt obligations are more fully described in Note 1012 and Liquidity and Capital Resources — Summary of Financing in Item 7 above. The following table presents principal cash flows based upon expected maturity dates of our debt obligations outstanding at December 31, 20212023 (in thousands):

The estimated fair value of our fixed-rate debt and our variable-rate debt that currently bears interest at fixed rates or has effectively been converted to a fixed rate through the use of interest rate swaps, or that has been subject to interest rate caps, is affected by changes in interest rates. Annual interest expense on our unhedged variable-rate debt that does not bear interest at fixed rates at December 31, 20212023 would increase or decrease by $3.9$6.9 million for our euro-denominated debt, by $3.4 million for our British pound sterling-denominated debt, by $3.7 million for our euro-denominated debt, and by $0.2 million for our Japanese yen-denominated debt for each respective 1% change in annual interest rates.

W. P. Carey 20212023 10-K 4750


Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
 
We own international investments, primarily in Europe, Canada, and Japan, and as a result are subject to risk from the effects of exchange rate movements in various foreign currencies, primarily the euro, the British pound sterling, the Canadian dollar, and the Japanese yen, and certain other currencies which may affect future costs and cash flows. We have obtained, and may in the future obtain, non-recourse mortgage financing in the local currency. We have also completed several offerings of euro-denominated senior notes, and have borrowed under our Senior Unsecured Credit Facility in foreign currencies, including the euro, British pound sterling, and Japanese yen (Note 1012). Volatile market conditions arising from the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 global pandemic, as well as othercertain macroeconomic factors may result in significant fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. To the extent that currency fluctuations increase or decrease rental revenues, as translated to U.S. dollars, the change in debt service (comprised of principal and interest, excluding balloon payments), as translated to U.S. dollars, will partially offset the effect of fluctuations in revenue and, to some extent, mitigate the risk from changes in foreign currency exchange rates. We estimate that, for a 1% increase or decrease in the exchange rate between the euro, British pound sterling, or Japanese yen and the U.S. dollar, there would be a corresponding change in the projected estimated cash flow (scheduled future rental revenues, net of scheduled future debt service payments for the next 12 months) for our consolidated foreign operations at December 31, 20212023 of $2.5$2.6 million, $0.6$0.3 million, and less than $0.1 million, respectively, excluding the impact of our derivative instruments.

In addition, we may use currency hedging to further reduce the exposure to our equity cash flow. We are generally a net receiver of these currencies (we receive more cash than we pay out), and therefore our foreign operations benefit from a weaker U.S. dollar and are adversely affected by a stronger U.S. dollar, relative to the foreign currency.

We enter into foreign currency collars to hedge certain of our foreign currency cash flow exposures. See Note 911 for additional information on our foreign currency collars.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Concentrations of credit risk arise when a number of tenants are engaged in similar business activities or have similar economic risks or conditions that could cause them to default on their lease obligations to us. We regularly monitor our portfolio to assess potential concentrations of credit risk. While we believe our portfolio is well-diversified, it does contain concentrations in certain areas.

For the year ended December 31, 2021,2023, our consolidated portfolio had the following significant characteristics in excess of 10%, based on the percentage of our consolidated total revenues:

65%66% related to domestic operations; and
35%34% related to international operations.

At December 31, 2021,2023, our net-lease portfolio, which excludes our operating properties, had the following significant property and lease characteristics in excess of 10% in certain areas, based on the percentage of our ABR as of that date:

63%58% related to domestic properties;
37%42% related to international properties;
26%32% related to industrial facilities, 24%26% related to warehouse facilities, 20% related to office facilities, and 18%21% related to retail facilities; and
22%23% related to the retail stores industry (including automotive dealerships).

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of W. P. Carey Inc.

Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of W. P. Carey Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 20212023 and 2020,2022, and the related consolidated statements of income, of comprehensive income, of equity and of cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2021,2023, including the related notes and financial statement schedules listed in the accompanying index (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”).

The Company’s management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in Management’s Report on Internal Control Overover Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A. Our responsibility is to express opinions on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.

Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
W. P. Carey 20212023 10-K 5053



Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Critical Audit Matters

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (i) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Purchase Price Allocation for Asset Acquisitions

As described in Notes 2 4, and 56 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company completed real estate acquisitions for total consideration of $1.5$1.2 billion during the year ended December 31, 2021.2023. For acquired properties with leases classified as operating leases, management allocatedallocates the purchase price to the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities based on their estimated fair values. Management determines the fair value of real estate under the income approach using either the discounted cash flow method or the direct capitalization method. For the discounted cash flow method, the fair value of real estate is determined (i) by applying a discounted cash flow analysis to the estimated net operating income for each property in the portfolio during the remaining anticipated lease term and (ii) by the estimated residual value, which is based on a hypothetical sale of the property upon expiration of a lease factoring in the re-tenanting of such property at estimated market rental rates, and applying a selected capitalization rate. For the direct capitalization method, the fair value of real estate is determined (i) by the stabilized estimated net operating income for each property in the portfolio and (ii) a selected capitalization rate. For any acquisitions that do not qualify as sale-leaseback transactions, management records above- and below-market lease intangible assets and liabilities for acquired properties based on the present value, using a discount rate reflecting the risks associated with the leases acquired. For acquired properties with tenants in place, management records in-place lease intangible assets based on the estimated value ascribed to the avoidance of costs of leasing the properties for the remaining primary in-place lease terms.

The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the purchase price allocation for acquisitions is a critical audit matter are (i) the significant judgment by management to determinewhen developing the estimated fair value measurements of tangible and intangible assets and liabilities to allocate the purchase price, which resulted inprice; (ii) a high degree of auditor judgment, and subjectivity in performing procedures relating to these fair value measurements; (ii) significant auditor judgment, subjectivity and effort in performing procedures and evaluating audit evidencemanagement’s significant assumptions related to the significant assumptions used in the fair value measurement of the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities, specifically the capitalization rates, market rental rates and discount rates;rates used in the discounted cash flow method for tangible and intangible assets and capitalization rates used in the direct capitalization method for tangible assets; and (iii) the audit effort involved the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge.

Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to purchase price allocations for acquisitions, including controls over management’s valuationdevelopment of the estimated fair value of the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities and controls over the review of thesignificant assumptions related to capitalization rates, market rental rates and discount rates assumptions.rates. These procedures also included, among others, for a sample of acquisitions (i) reading the executed purchase agreements and leasing documents; (ii) using professionals with specialized skill and knowledge to assist in testing management’s process for estimatingdeveloping the estimated fair value of tangible and intangible assets and liabilities byliabilities; (iii) evaluating the appropriateness of the valuation methodsdiscounted cash flow and direct capitalization methods; (iv) testing the completeness and accuracy of underlying data used in the discounted cash flow and direct capitalization methods; (v) evaluating the reasonableness of the significant assumptions relatingused by management related to the capitalization rates, market rental rates and discount rates which involved considering comparable market dataused in the discounted cash flow method for tangible and other industry factors; (iii)intangible assets and capitalization rates used in the direct capitalization method for tangible assets. Professionals with specialized skill and knowledge were used to assist in evaluating (i) the accuracyappropriateness of the purchase price allocation;discounted cash flow and (iv) testingdirect capitalization methods and (ii) the completenessreasonableness of the significant assumptions related to capitalization rates, market rental rates, and accuracy of data provided by management.discount rates.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1. Business and Organization
 
W. P. Carey Inc. (“W. P. Carey”) is a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that, together with our consolidated subsidiaries, invests primarily in operationally-critical, single-tenant commercial real estate properties located in the United States and Northern and Western Europe that are leased on a long-term basis. We earn revenue principally by leasing the properties we own to companies on a triple-net lease basis, which generally requires each tenant to pay the costs associated with operating and maintaining the property.

Founded in 1973, our shares of common stock are listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “WPC.”

We elected to be taxed as a REIT under Section 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code effective as of February 15, 2012. As a REIT, we are not subject to federal income taxes on income and gains that we distribute to our stockholders as long as we satisfy certain requirements, principally relating to the nature of our income and the level of our distributions, as well as other factors. We also own real property in jurisdictions outside the United States through foreign subsidiaries and are subject to income taxes on our pre-tax income earned from properties in such countries. Through

In September 2023, we announced a plan to exit the office assets within our taxable REIT subsidiariesportfolio by (i) spinning-off 59 office properties into Net Lease Office Properties (“TRSs”NLOP”), we also earn revenue as the advisor to certain non-traded investment programs. We hold all of ourso that it became a separate publicly-traded real estate assets attributableinvestment trust (the “Spin-Off”), and (ii) implementing an asset sale program to our Real Estate segment underdispose of 87 office properties retained by us (the “Office Sale Program”), which is targeted to be completed in the REIT structure, while the activities conducted by our Investment Management segment subsidiaries have been organized under TRSs.first half of 2024.

On April 13, 2020, two ofNovember 1, 2023, we completed the non-traded REITs that we advised, Carey Watermark Investors Incorporated (“CWI 1”) and Carey Watermark Investors 2 Incorporated (“CWI 2”) (together, the “CWI REITs”), merged in an all-stock transaction, with CWI 2 as the surviving entity (the “CWI 1 and CWI 2 Merger”). Following the close of the CWI 1 and CWI 2 Merger, our advisory agreements with CWI 1 and CWI 2 were terminated, CWI 2 was renamed Watermark Lodging Trust, Inc. (“WLT”), and we beganSpin-Off, contributing 59 office properties to provide certain services to WLT pursuant to a transition services agreement (which was terminated on October 13, 2021). At December 31, 2021, we were the advisor to the following entitiesNLOP (Note 3):. Following the closing of the Spin-Off, NLOP operates as a separate publicly-traded REIT, which we externally manage pursuant to certain advisory agreements (the “NLOP Advisory Agreements”).

On August 1, 2022, a non-traded REIT that we previously advised, Corporate Property Associates 18 – Global Incorporated (“CPA:18 – Global”), a publicly owned, non-traded REIT that primarily invests in commercial real estate properties; merged with and into one of our indirect subsidiaries (the “CPA:18 Merger”) (Note 4). At December 31, 2023, we referwere the advisor to CPA:18 – Global together with the CWI REITs as the “Managed REITs” (as used throughout this Report, the term “Managed REITs” does not include CWI 1 and CWI 2 after April 13, 2020); and

(“CESH”), a limited partnership formed for the purpose of developing, owning, and operating student housing properties and similar investments in Europe (Note 35); we. We refer to CPA:18 – Global (prior to the Managed REITsCPA:18 Merger) and CESH collectively as the “Managed Programs.”

We no longer raise capital for new or existing funds, but currently expect to continue managing CPA:18 – Global and CESH through the end of their respective life cycles (Note 3).

On August 31, 2021, CPA:18 – Global reported that its independent directors intended to begin the process of evaluating possible liquidity alternatives for its shareholders, including a transaction involving us or one of our subsidiaries. There can be no assurance that any such liquidity transaction will occur in the near future or at all.

Reportable Segments

Real Estate — Lease revenues from our real estate investments generate the vast majority of our earnings. We invest primarily in commercial properties located in the United States and Northern and Western Europe, which are leased to companies on a triple-net lease basis. At December 31, 2021,2023, our owned portfolio was comprised of our full or partial ownership interests in 1,3041,424 properties, totaling approximately 156173 million square feet (unaudited), substantially all of which were net leased to 352336 tenants, with a weighted-average lease term of 10.811.7 years and an occupancy rate of 98.5%98.1% (unaudited). In addition, at December 31, 2021,2023, our portfolio was comprised of full or partial ownership interests in 2096 operating properties, including 1989 self-storage properties, five hotels, and 1 hotel,two student housing properties, totaling approximately 1.47.3 million square feet (unaudited).

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Accounting for Acquisitions

In accordance with the guidance for business combinations, we determine whether a transaction or other event is a business combination, which requires that the assets acquired and liabilities assumed constitute a business. If the assets acquired are not a
W. P. Carey 2023 10-K64


Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
business, we account for the transaction or other event as an asset acquisition. Under both methods, we recognize the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquired entity. In addition, for transactions that are business combinations, we evaluate the existence of goodwill or a gain from a bargain purchase. We capitalize acquisition-related costs and fees associated with asset acquisitions. We immediately expense acquisition-related costs and fees associated with business combinations. All transaction costs incurred during the reporting period were capitalized since our acquisitions were classified as asset acquisitions.acquisitions (excluding the CPA:18 Merger).
 
Purchase Price Allocation of Tangible Assets When we acquire properties with leases classified as operating leases, we allocate the purchase price to the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities acquired based on their estimated fair values. The tangible assets consist of land, buildings, and site improvements. The intangible assets include the above- and below-market value of leases and the in-place leases, which includes the value of tenant relationships. Land is typically valued utilizing the sales comparison (or market) approach. Buildings are valued, as if vacant, using the cost and/or income approach. TheUnder the cost approach, the fair value of real estate is based on estimated costs to construct a vacant building with similar characteristics. Under the income approach, we use either the discounted cash flow method or the direct capitalization method. For the discounted cash flow method, the fair value of real estate is determined (i) by applying a discounted cash flow analysis to the estimated net operating income for each property in the portfolio during the remaining anticipated lease term and (ii) by the estimated residual value, which is based on a hypothetical sale of the property upon expiration of a lease factoring in the re-tenanting of such property at estimated market rental rates, and applying a selected capitalization rate. For the direct capitalization method, the fair value of real estate is determined (i) by the stabilized estimated net operating income for each property in the portfolio and (ii) a selected capitalization rate.

Assumptions used in the model are property-specific where this information is available; however, when certain necessary information is not available, we use available regional and property-type information. Assumptions and estimates include the following:

a discount rate or internal rate of return;
market rents, growth factors of rents, and market lease term;
a capitalization raterates to be applied to an estimate of market rent at the beginning and/or the end of the market lease term;
the marketing period necessary to put a lease in place;
carrying costs during the marketing period; and
leasing commissions and tenant improvement allowances.

The discount rates and residual capitalization rates used to value the properties are selected based on several factors, including:

the creditworthiness of the lessees;
industry surveys;
property type;
property location and age;
current lease rates relative to market lease rates; and
anticipated lease duration.
W. P. Carey 2021 10-K60


Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

In the case where a tenant has a purchase option deemed to be favorable to the tenant, or the tenant has long-term renewal options at rental rates below estimated market rental rates, we generally include the value of the exercise of such purchase option or long-term renewal options in the determination of residual value.

The remaining economic life of leased assets is estimated by relying in part upon third-party appraisals of the leased assets and industry standards. Different estimates of remaining economic life will affect the depreciation expense that is recorded.

Purchase Price Allocation of Intangible Assets and Liabilities For acquired properties that do not qualify as sale-leaseback transactions, wWee record above- and below-market lease intangible assets and liabilities for acquired properties based on the present value (using a discount rate reflecting the risks associated with the leases acquired including consideration of the credit of the lessee) of the difference between (i) the contractual rents to be paid pursuant to the leases negotiated or in place at the time of acquisition of the properties and (ii) our estimate of fair market lease rates for the property or equivalent property, both of which are measured over the estimated lease term, which includes renewal options that have rental rates below estimated market rental rates. We discount the difference between the estimated market rent and contractual rent to a present value using an interest rate reflecting our current assessment of the risk associated with the lease acquired, which includes a consideration of the credit of the lessee. When we enter into sale-leaseback transactions with above- or below-market leases, the intangibles
W. P. Carey 2023 10-K65


Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
will be accounted for as loan receivables or prepaid rent liabilities, respectively. We measure the fair value of below-market purchase option liabilities we acquire as the excess of the present value of the fair value of the real estate over the present value of the tenant’s exercise price at the option date. We determine these values using our estimates or by relying in part upon third-party valuations conducted by independent appraisal firms.

We amortize the above-market lease intangible as a reduction of lease revenue over the remaining contractual lease term. We amortize the below-market lease intangible as an increase to lease revenue over the initial term and any renewal periods in the respective leases. We include the value of below-market leases in Below-market rent and other intangible liabilities in the consolidated financial statements.

The value of anyFor acquired properties with tenants in place, we record in-place lease isintangible assets based on the estimated to be equalvalue ascribed to the acquirer’s avoidance of costs as a result of having tenants in place, that would be necessary to leaseleasing the propertyproperties for a lease term equal to the remaining primary in-place lease term and the value of investment grade tenancy.terms. The cost avoidance is derived first by determining the in-place lease term on the subject lease. Then, based on our review of the market, the cost to be borne by a property owner to replicate a market lease to the remaining in-place term is estimated. These costs consist of: (i) rent lost during downtime (i.e., assumed periods of vacancy), (ii) estimated expenses that would be incurred by the property owner during periods of vacancy, (iii) rent concessions (i.e., free rent), (iv) leasing commissions, and (v) tenant improvements allowances given to tenants. We determine these values using our estimates or by relying in part upon third-party valuations. We amortize the value of in-place lease intangibles to depreciation and amortization expense over the remaining initial term of each lease. The amortization period for intangibles does not exceed the remaining depreciable life of the building.

If a lease is terminated, we charge the unamortized portion of above- and below-market lease values to rental income and in-place lease values to amortization expense. If a lease is amended, we will determine whether the economics of the amended lease continue to support the existence of the above- or below-market lease intangibles.

Purchase Price Allocation of Debt When we acquire leveraged properties, the fair value of the related debt instruments is determined using a discounted cash flow model with rates that take into account the credit of the tenants, where applicable, and interest rate risk. Such resulting premium or discount is amortized over the remaining term of the obligation. We also consider the value of the underlying collateral, taking into account the quality of the collateral, the credit quality of the tenant, the time until maturity and the current interest rate.

Purchase Price Allocation of Goodwill In the case of a business combination, after identifying all tangible and intangible assets and liabilities, the excess consideration paid over the fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired and assumed, respectively, represents goodwill. We allocate goodwill to the respective reporting units in which such goodwill arises. Goodwill acquired in certain business combinations was attributed to the Real Estate segment which comprises 1one reporting unit. In the event we dispose of a property or an investment that constitutes a business under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) from a reporting unit with goodwill, we allocate a portion of the reporting unit’s goodwill to that business in determining the gain or loss on the disposal of the business. The amount of goodwill allocated to the business is based on the relative fair value of the business to the fair value of the reporting unit. As part of purchase accounting for a business, we record any deferred tax assets and/or liabilities resulting from the difference between the tax basis and GAAP basis of the investment
W. P. Carey 2021 10-K61


Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
in the taxing jurisdiction. Such deferred tax amount will be included in purchase accounting and may impact the amount of goodwill recorded depending on the fair value of all of the other assets and liabilities and the amounts paid.

Financing Arrangements — In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 310, Receivables and ASC 842, Leases, real estate assets acquired through a sale-leaseback transaction are accounted for as a financing arrangement if the investment does not meet the criteria for sale-leaseback accounting. We record such investments within Net investments in direct financingfinance leases and loans receivable on the consolidated balance sheets. Rent payments from these investments are included within Income from direct financingfinance leases and loans receivable on the consolidated statements of income.

Impairments
 
Real Estate We periodically assess whether there are any indicators that the value of our long-lived real estate and related intangible assets may be impaired or that their carrying value may not be recoverable. These impairment indicators include, but are not limited to, vacancies, an upcoming lease expiration, a tenant with credit difficulty, the termination of a lease by a tenant, or a likely disposition of the property.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
For real estate assets held for investment and related intangible assets in which an impairment indicator is identified, we follow a two-step process to determine whether an asset is impaired and to determine the amount of the charge. First, we compare the carrying value of the property’s asset group to the estimated future net undiscounted cash flow that we expect the property’s asset group will generate, including any estimated proceeds from the eventual sale of the property’s asset group. The undiscounted cash flow analysis requires us to make our best estimate of market rents, residual values, and holding periods. We estimate market rents and residual values using market information from outside sources such as third-party market research, external appraisals, broker quotes, or recent comparable sales.

As our investment objective is to hold properties on a long-term basis, holding periods used in the undiscounted cash flow analysis are generally ten years, but may be less if our intent is to hold a property for less than ten years. Depending on the assumptions made and estimates used, the future cash flow projected in the evaluation of long-lived assets and associated intangible assets can vary within a range of outcomes. We consider the likelihood of possible outcomes in determining our estimate of future cash flows and, if warranted, we apply a probability-weighted method to the different possible scenarios. If the future net undiscounted cash flow of the property’s asset group is less than the carrying value, the carrying value of the property’s asset group is considered not recoverable. We then measure the impairment loss as the excess of the carrying value of the property’s asset group over its estimated fair value.

Assets Held for Sale We generally classify real estate assets that are subject to operating leases as held for sale when we have entered into a contract to sell the property, all material due diligence requirements have been satisfied, we received a non-refundable deposit, and we believe it is probable that the disposition will occur within one year. When we classify an asset as held for sale, we compare the asset’s fair value less estimated cost to sell to its carrying value, and if the fair value less estimated cost to sell is less than the property’s carrying value, we reduce the carrying value to the fair value less estimated cost to sell. We will continue to review the property for subsequent changes in the fair value, and may recognize an additional impairment charge, if warranted.

Direct Financing Leases — This policy was superseded by Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses, which we adopted on January 1, 2020 and which is described below under Credit Losses. Prior to this adoption, we periodically assessed whether there were any indicators that the value of our net investments in direct financing leases may have been impaired. When determining a possible impairment, we considered the collectibility of direct financing lease receivables for which a reserve would have been required if any losses were both probable and reasonably estimable. In addition, we determined whether there had been a permanent decline in the estimate of the residual value of the property. If this review indicated a permanent decline in the fair value of the asset below its carrying value, we recognized an impairment charge.
Equity Method Investments We evaluate our equity method investments on a periodic basis to determine if there are any indicators that the value of our equity investment may be impaired and whether or not that impairment is other-than-temporary. To the extent an impairment has occurred and is determined to be other-than-temporary, we measure the charge as the excess of the carrying value of our investment over its estimated fair value, which is determined by calculating our share of the estimated fair market value of the underlying net assets based on the terms of the applicable partnership or joint-venture agreement. For our investment in CPA:18 – Global, we calculate the estimated fair value of our investment using its most recently published net asset value per share (“NAV”) multiplied by the number of shares owned. For our equity investments in real estate, we

calculate the estimated fair value of the underlying investment’s real estate or net investment in direct financing lease as described in Real Estate and Direct Financing Leases above. The fair value of the underlying investment’s debt, if any, is calculated based on market interest rates and other market information. The fair value of the underlying investment’s other financial assets and liabilities (excluding net investment in direct financing leases) have fair values that generally approximate their carrying values.
 
Goodwill We evaluate goodwill for possible impairment at least annually or upon the occurrence of a triggering event. Such a triggering event within our Investment Management segment dependsdepended on the timing and form of liquidity events for the Managed Programs (Note 34, Note 5). To identify any impairment, we first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value. This assessment is used as a basis to determine whether it is necessary to calculate reporting unit fair values. If necessary, we calculate the estimated fair value of the Investment Management reporting unit by utilizing a discounted cash flow analysis methodology and available NAVs.net asset values. We calculate the estimated fair value of the Real Estate reporting unit by utilizing our market capitalization and the aforementioned fair value of the Investment Management segment. Impairments, if any, will be the difference between the reporting unit’s fair value and carrying amount, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill.

Credit Losses

We adopted ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses on January 1, 2020, which replaces the “incurred loss” model with an “expected loss” model, resulting in the earlier recognition of credit losses even if the risk of loss is remote. This standard applies to financial assets measured at amortized cost and certain other instruments, including net investments in direct financing leases and loans receivable. This standard does not apply to receivables arising from operating leases, which are within the scope of Topic 842. We adopted ASU 2016-13 using the modified retrospective method, under which we recorded a cumulative-effect adjustment as a charge to retained earnings of $14.8 million on January 1, 2020, which is reflected within our consolidated statements of equity.

The allowance for credit losses, which is recorded as a reduction to Net investments in direct financingfinance leases and loans receivable on our consolidated balance sheets, is measured on a pool basis by credit ratings (Note 57), using a probability of default method based on the lessees’ respective credit ratings, the expected value of the underlying collateral upon its repossession, and our historical loss experience related to other direct financing leases. Included in our model are factors that incorporate forward-looking information. If we determine that a finance lease no longer shares risk characteristics with other finance leases in the pool, we evaluate the finance lease for expected credit losses on an individual basis. Allowance for credit losses is included in our consolidated statements of income within Other gains and (losses).

Other Accounting Policies

Basis of Consolidation Our consolidated financial statements reflect all of our accounts, including those of our controlled subsidiaries. The portions of equity in consolidated subsidiaries that are not attributable, directly or indirectly, to us are presented as noncontrolling interests. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

When we obtain an economic interest in an entity, we evaluate the entity to determine if it should be deemed a VIE and, if so, whether we are the primary beneficiary and are therefore required to consolidate the entity. We apply accounting guidance for consolidation of VIEs to certain entities in which the equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. Fixed price purchase and renewal options within a lease, as well as certain decision-making rights within a loan or joint-venture agreement, can cause us to consider an entity a VIE. Limited partnerships and other similar entities that operate as a partnership will be considered a VIE unless the limited partners hold substantive kick-out rights or participation rights. Significant judgment is required to determine whether a VIE should be consolidated. We review the contractual arrangements provided for in the partnership agreement or other related contracts to determine whether the entity is considered a VIE, and to establish whether we have any variable interests in the VIE. We then compare our variable interests, if any, to those of the other variable interest holders to determine which party is the primary beneficiary of the VIE based on whether the entity (i) has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIE and (ii) has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The liabilities of these VIEs are non-recourse to us and can only be satisfied from each VIE’s respective assets.

At December 31, 20212023 and 2020,2022, our 8six and 7five unconsolidated VIEs, respectively, included our interests in (i) 6 and 5three unconsolidated real estate investments, respectively, which we account for under the equity method of accounting (we do not consolidate these entities because we are not the primary beneficiary and the nature of our involvement in the activities of these entities allows us to exercise significant influence on, but does not give us power over, decisions that significantly affect the economic performance of these entities), and (ii) 2two unconsolidated investments in equity securities, which we accounted for as investments in shares of the entities at fair value. As of December 31, 20212023 and 2020,2022, the net carrying amount of our investments in these entities was $581.3$729.8 million and $425.3$693.4 million, respectively, and our maximum exposure to loss in these entities was limited to our investments. In addition, we have a variable interest in NLOP, which we also deem a VIE, as of December 31, 2023, due to our guarantee of a non-recourse mortgage loan with approximately $19 million principal balance outstanding as of December 31, 2023 encumbering a property that was derecognized in the Spin-Off (Note 3); we do not expect to have to perform under this guarantee. Should we have to perform, the Separation and Distribution Agreement (as defined in Note 3) includes an indemnification provision, for which we could recover any amounts paid under the guarantee.

Leases

As a Lessee: Right-of-use (“ROU”) assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments under the lease. We determine if an arrangement contains a lease at contract inception and determine the classification of the lease at commencement. Operating and financing lease ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. We do not include renewal options in the lease term when calculating the lease liability unless we are reasonably certain we will exercise the option. Variable lease payments are excluded from the ROU assets and lease liabilities and are recognized in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred. Our variable lease payments consist of increases as a result of the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) or other comparable indices, taxes, and maintenance costs. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Below-market ground lease intangible assets and above-market ground lease intangible liabilities are included as a component of ROU assets. See Note 46 for additional disclosures on the presentation of these amounts in our consolidated balance sheets.

The implicit rate within our operating leases is generally not determinable and, as a result, we use our incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date to determine the present value of lease payments. The determination of our incremental borrowing rate requires judgment. We determine our incremental borrowing rate for each lease using estimated baseline mortgage rates. These baseline rates are determined based on a review of current mortgage debt market activity for benchmark securities across domestic and international markets, utilizing a yield curve. The rates are then adjusted for various factors, including level of collateralization and lease term.

As a Lessor: We combine non-lease components (lease arrangements that include common area maintenance services) with related lease components (lease revenues), since both the timing and pattern of transfer are the same for the non-lease component and related lease component, the lease component is the predominant component, and the lease component would otherwise be classified as an operating lease. For (i) operating lease arrangements involving real estate that include common area maintenance services and (ii) all real estate arrangements that include real estate taxes and insurance costs, we present these amounts within lease revenues in our consolidated statements of income. We record amounts reimbursed by the lessee in the period in which the applicable expenses are incurred, if the reimbursements are deemed collectible.

W. P. Carey 2021 10-K64Net investments in sales-type leases are accounted for under ASC 842, Leases. Upon lease commencement or lease modification, we assess lease classification to determine whether the lease should be classified as an operating, direct financing, or sales-type lease. If the lease is determined to be a sales-type lease, we record a net investment in the lease, which is equal to the sum of the lease payments receivable and the unguaranteed residual value, discounted at the rate implicit in the lease. Any difference between the fair value of the asset and the net investment in the lease is considered a gain on sale of real estate and recognized upon execution of the lease.

Cloud computing arrangement costs follow the internal-use software accounting guidance to determine which implementation costs to capitalize as assets or expense as incurred. Capitalized internal-use software development costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the software’s estimated useful life, which is three to seven years. Capitalized implementation costs related to a service contract will be amortized over the term of the hosting arrangement beginning when the component of the hosting arrangement is ready for its intended use. Periodically, we reassess the useful life considering technology, obsolescence, and other factors.

Other Assets and Liabilities We include prepaid expenses, deferred rental income, tenant receivables, deferred charges, escrow balances held by lenders, restricted cash balances, marketable securities, derivative assets, other intangible assets, corporate fixed assets, our investment in shares of Lineage Logistics (a cold storage REIT) (Note 810), our investment in shares of Guggenheim Credit Income Fund (“GCIF”) (Note 810), and office lease ROU assets in Other assets, net. We include derivative liabilities, amounts held on behalf of tenants, operating lease liabilities, and deferred revenue in Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities.

Revenue Recognition, Real Estate Leased to Others We lease real estate to others primarily on a triple-net leased basis, whereby the tenant is generally responsible for operating expenses relating to the property, including property taxes, insurance, maintenance, repairs, and improvements.

Substantially all of our leases provide for either scheduled rent increases, periodic rent adjustments based on formulas indexed to changes in the CPI or similar indices, or percentage rents. CPI-based adjustments are contingent on future events and are therefore not included as minimum rent in straight-line rent calculations. We recognize rents from percentage rents as reported by the lessees, which is after the level of sales requiring a rental payment to us is reached. Percentage rents were insignificant for the periods presented.

For our operating leases, we recognize future minimum rental revenue on a straight-line basis over the non-cancelable lease term of the related leases and charge expenses to operations as incurred (Note 46). We record leases accounted for under the direct financing method as a net investment in direct financing leases (Note 57). The net investment is equal to the cost of the leased assets. The difference between the cost and the gross investment, which includes the residual value of the leased asset and the future minimum rents, is unearned income. We defer and amortize unearned income to income over the lease term so as to produce a constant periodic rate of return on our net investment in the lease.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Revenue from contracts under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers is recognized when, or as, control of promised goods or services is transferred to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. At contract inception, we assess the services promised in our contracts with customers and identify a performance obligation for each promise to transfer to the customer a good or service (or bundle of goods or services) that is distinct. To identify the performance obligations, we consider all of the services promised in the contract regardless of whether they are explicitly stated or are implied by customary business practices. ASC 606 does not apply to our lease revenues, which constitute a majority of our revenues, but primarily applies to revenues generated from our hotel operating properties and our Investment Management segment.

Revenue from contracts for our Real Estate segment primarily represented hotel operating property revenues of $7.2$76.2 million, $5.9$12.0 million, and $29.4$7.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, 2020, and 2019, respectively. respectively, generated from 13 hotels located in the United States (12 of which were reclassified from net leases to operating properties in the first quarter of 2023 (Note 6); eight of these properties were sold during year ended December 31, 2023 (Note 17)).

Such operating property revenues are primarily comprised of revenues from room rentals and from food and beverage services at our hotel operating properties during those years. We identified a single performance obligation for each distinct service. Performance obligations are typically satisfied at a point in time, at the time of sale, or at the rendering of the service. Fees are generally determined to be fixed. Payment is typically due immediately following the delivery of the service. Revenue from contracts under ASC 606 from our Investment Management segment is discussed in Note 3.

Lease revenue (including straight-line lease revenue) is only recognized when deemed probable of collection. Collectibility is assessed for each tenant receivable using various criteria including credit ratings (Note 5), guarantees, past collection issues, and the current economic and business environment affecting the tenant. If collectibility of the contractual rent stream is not deemed probable, revenue will only be recognized upon receipt of cash from the tenant.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Asset Retirement Obligations — Asset retirement obligations relate to the legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development, and/or normal operation of a long-lived asset. The fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation is recorded in the period in which it is incurred or at the point of acquisition of an asset with an assumed asset retirement obligation, and the cost of such liability is recorded as an increase in the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset by the same amount. The liability is accreted each period and the capitalized cost is depreciated over the estimated remaining life of the related long-lived asset. Revisions to estimated retirement obligations result in adjustments to the related capitalized asset and corresponding liability.

In order to determine the fair value of the asset retirement obligations, we make certain estimates and assumptions including, among other things, projected cash flows, the borrowing interest rate, and an assessment of market conditions that could significantly impact the estimated fair value. These estimates and assumptions are subjective.

Depreciation We compute depreciation of building and related improvements using the straight-line method over the estimated remaining useful lives of the properties (not to exceed 40 years) and furniture, fixtures, and equipment. We compute depreciation of tenant improvements using the straight-line method over the lesser of the remaining term of the lease or the estimated useful life.

Stock-Based Compensation We have granted restricted share awards (“RSAs”), restricted share units (“RSUs”), and performance share units (“PSUs”) to certain employees, independent directors, and nonemployees. Grants were awarded in the name of the recipient subject to certain restrictions of transferability and a risk of forfeiture. Stock-based compensation expense for all equity-classified stock-based compensation awards is based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with current accounting guidance for share-based payments, which includes awards granted to certain nonemployees. We recognize these compensation costs for only those shares expected to vest on a straight-line basis over the requisite service or performance period of the award. We include stock-based compensation within Additional paid-in capital in the consolidated statements of equity and Stock-based compensation expense in the consolidated statements of income.

Foreign Currency Translation and Transaction Gains and Losses We have interests in international real estate investments primarily in Europe, Canada, and Japan, and the primary functional currencies for those investments are the euro, the British pound sterling, the Canadian dollar, and the Japanese yen. We perform the translation from these currencies to the U.S. dollar for assets and liabilities using current exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and for revenue and expense accounts using the average exchange rate during the month in which the transaction occurs. We report the gains and losses resulting from such translation as a component of other comprehensive income in equity. These translation gains and losses are released to net income (within Gain on sale of real estate, net, in the consolidated statements of income) when we have substantially exited from all investments in the related currency.

A transaction gain or loss (measured from the transaction date or the most recent intervening balance sheet date, whichever is later), realized upon settlement of a foreign currency transaction generally will be included in net income for the period in which the transaction is settled. Also, foreign currency intercompany transactions that are scheduled for settlement, consisting primarily of accrued interest and the translation to the reporting currency of intercompany debt that is short-term or has scheduled principal payments, are included in the determination of net income (within Other gains and (losses) in the statements of income).

The translation impact of foreign currency transactions of a long-term nature (that is, settlement is not planned or anticipated in the foreseeable future), in which the entities involved in the transactions are consolidated or accounted for by the equity method in our consolidated financial statements, are not included in net income but are reported as a component of other comprehensive income in equity.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Derivative Instruments We measure derivative instruments at fair value and record them as assets or liabilities, depending on our rights or obligations under the applicable derivative contract. Derivatives that are not designated as hedges must be adjusted to fair value through earnings. For derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges, the change in fair value of the derivative is recognized in Other comprehensive income (loss) until the hedged transaction affects earnings. Gains and losses on the cash flow hedges representing hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness are recognized in earnings over the life of the hedge on a systematic and rational basis, as documented at hedge inception in accordance with our accounting policy election. Such gains and losses are recorded within Other gains and (losses) or Interest expense in our consolidated statements of income. The earnings recognition of excluded components is presented in the same line item as the hedged transactions. For derivatives designated and that qualify as a net investment hedge, the change in the fair value and/or the net settlement of the derivative is reported in Other comprehensive income (loss) as part of the cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment. Amounts are reclassified out of Other comprehensive income (loss) into earnings (within Gain on sale of real estate, net, in our consolidated statements of income) when the hedged investment is either sold or substantially liquidated. In accordance with fair value measurement guidance, counterparty credit risk is measured on a net portfolio position basis.

Segment Allocation Changes Beginning with the second quarter of 2020, general and administrative expenses attributed to our Investment Management segment are comprised of the incremental costs of providing services to the Managed Programs, which are fully reimbursed by those funds (resulting in no net expense for us). All other general and administrative expenses are attributed to our Real Estate segment. Previously, general and administrative expenses were allocated based on time incurred by our personnel for the Real Estate and Investment Management segments. In addition, beginning with the second quarter of 2020, stock-based compensation expense and corporate depreciation and amortization expense are fully recognized within our Real Estate segment. In light of the termination of the advisory agreements with CWI 1 and CWI 2 in connection with the WLT management internalization (Note 3), we now view essentially all assets, liabilities, and operational expenses as part of our Real Estate segment, other than incremental activities that are expected to wind down as we manage CPA:18 –Global and CESH through the end of their respective life cycles. These changes between the segments had no impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In addition, our investments in WLT, and income recognized from our investments in WLT, are included within our Real Estate segment, since we are not the advisor to that company. Previously, our investments in CWI 1 and CWI 2, and income recognized from our investments in CWI 1 and CWI 2, were included within our Investment Management segment (Note 3).
Income Taxes We conduct business in various states and municipalities primarily within North America and Europe, and as a result, we or one or more of our subsidiaries file income tax returns in the United States federal jurisdiction and various state and foreign jurisdictions. We derive most of our REIT income from our real estate operations under our Real Estate segment. Our domestic real estate operations are generally not subject to federal tax, and accordingly, no provision has been made for U.S. federal income taxes in the consolidated financial statements for these operations. These operations may be subject to certain state and local taxes, as applicable. We conductPrior to the CPA:18 Merger, we conducted our Investment Management operations primarily through TRSs. In general, a TRS may perform additional services for our tenants and generally may engage in any real estate or non-real estate-related business. These operations are subject to federal, state, local, and foreign taxes, as applicable. Our financial statements are prepared on a consolidated basis including these TRSs and include a provision for current and deferred taxes on these operations.

Significant judgment is required in determining our tax provision and in evaluating our tax positions. We establish tax reserves based on a benefit recognition model, which could result in a greater amount of benefit (and a lower amount of reserve) being initially recognized in certain circumstances. Provided that the tax position is deemed more likely than not of being sustained, we recognize the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being ultimately realized upon settlement. We derecognize the tax position when it is no longer more likely than not of being sustained.

Our earnings and profits, which determine the taxability of distributions to stockholders, differ from net income reported for financial reporting purposes due primarily to differences in depreciation, including hotel properties, and timing differences of rent recognition and certain expense deductions, for federal income tax purposes.

W. P. Carey 2023 10-K72


Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
We recognize deferred income taxes in certain of our subsidiaries taxable in the United States or in foreign jurisdictions. Deferred income taxes are generally the result of temporary differences (items that are treated differently for tax purposes than for GAAP purposes as described in Note 1416). In addition, deferred tax assets arise from unutilized tax net operating losses, generated in prior years. Deferred income taxes are computed under the asset and liability method. The asset and liability method requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between tax bases and financial bases of assets and liabilities. We provide a valuation allowance against our

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
deferred income tax assets when we believe that it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the deferred income tax asset may not be realized. Whenever a change in circumstances causes a change in the estimated realizability of the related deferred income tax asset, the resulting increase or decrease in the valuation allowance is included in deferred income tax expense (benefit).

Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income available to common stockholders as adjusted for unallocated earnings attributable to the nonvested RSUs by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share reflects potentially dilutive securities (RSAs, RSUs, PSUs, and shares available for issuance under our Equity Forwards and ATM Forwards) using the treasury stock method, except when the effect would be anti-dilutive.

Reference Rate Reform — During the first quarter of 2023, we applied the guidance in ASC 848, Reference Rate Reform and elected the practical expedient to transition certain contracts that reference London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), including our Senior Unsecured Credit Facility (Note 12) and certain derivative instruments. The application of this guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
 
Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and the disclosure of contingent amounts in our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Note 3.4. Merger with CPA:18 – Global

CPA:18 Merger

On February 27, 2022, we and certain of our subsidiaries entered into a merger agreement with CPA:18 – Global, pursuant to which CPA:18 – Global would merge with and into one of our indirect subsidiaries in exchange for shares of our common stock and cash, subject to approval by the stockholders of CPA:18 – Global. The CPA:18 Merger and related transactions were approved by the stockholders of CPA:18 – Global on July 26, 2022 and completed on August 1, 2022.

At the effective time of the CPA:18 Merger, each share of CPA:18 – Global common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the CPA:18 Merger was canceled and, in exchange for cancellation of such share, the rights attaching to such share were converted automatically into the right to receive (i) 0.0978 shares of our common stock and (ii) $3.00 in cash, which we refer to herein as the Merger Consideration. Each share of CPA:18 – Global common stock owned by us or any of our subsidiaries immediately prior to the effective time of the CPA:18 Merger was automatically canceled and retired, and ceased to exist, for no Merger Consideration. In exchange for the 141,099,002 shares of CPA:18 – Global common stock that we and our subsidiaries did not previously own, we paid total merger consideration of approximately $1.6 billion, consisting of (i) the issuance of 13,786,302 shares of our common stock with a fair value of $1.2 billion, based on the closing price of our common stock on August 1, 2022 of $87.46 per share, (ii) cash consideration of $423.3 million, and (iii) cash of $0.1 million paid in lieu of issuing any fractional shares of our common stock. Pursuant to the terms of the definitive merger agreement, in connection with the closing of the CPA:18 Merger, we waived certain back-end fees that we would have otherwise been entitled to receive from CPA:18 – Global upon its liquidation pursuant to the terms of our pre-closing advisory agreement with CPA:18 – Global.
W. P. Carey 2023 10-K75


Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Immediately prior to the closing of the CPA:18 Merger, CPA:18 – Global’s portfolio was comprised of full or partial ownership interests in 42 leased properties (including seven properties in which we already owned a partial ownership interest), substantially all of which were net leased with a weighted-average lease term of 7.0 years, an occupancy rate of 99.3% (unaudited), and an estimated contractual minimum annualized base rent (“ABR”) totaling $81.0 million, as well as 65 self-storage operating properties and two student housing operating properties totaling 5.1 million square feet (unaudited). The related property-level debt was comprised of non-recourse mortgage loans with an aggregate consolidated fair value of approximately $900.2 million with a weighted-average annual interest rate of 5.1% as of August 1, 2022. From the closing of the CPA:18 Merger through December 31, 2022, lease revenues, operating property revenues, and net income from properties acquired were $42.7 million, $39.2 million, and $12.3 million, respectively.

Two of the net lease properties that we acquired in the CPA:18 Merger were classified as Assets held for sale, with an aggregate fair value of $85.0 million at acquisition. From the closing of the CPA:18 Merger through December 31, 2022, lease revenues from these properties totaled $4.9 million. We sold one of these properties in August 2022 for total proceeds, net of selling costs, of $44.5 million, and recognized a loss on sale of $0.2 million (Note 17). We sold the other property in October 2023 for total proceeds, net of selling costs, of $29.5 million (Note 17).

Purchase Price Allocation

We accounted for the CPA:18 Merger as a business combination under the acquisition method of accounting. After consideration of all applicable factors pursuant to the business combination accounting rules, we were considered the “accounting acquirer” due to various factors, including the fact that our stockholders held the largest portion of the voting rights in the combined company upon completion of the CPA:18 Merger. Costs related to the CPA:18 Merger have been expensed as incurred and classified within Merger and other expenses in the consolidated statements of income, totaling $17.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2022.
The purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, based upon their fair values at August 1, 2022. See Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows — Supplemental Non-Cash Investing and Financing Activities for a summary of the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the CPA:18 Merger.

Goodwill

The $172.3 million of goodwill recorded in the CPA:18 Merger was primarily due to the premium we paid over CPA:18 – Global’s estimated fair value. Management believes the premium is supported by several factors, including that the CPA:18 Merger (i) concludes our exit from the non-traded REIT business, (ii) adds a high-quality diversified portfolio of net lease assets that is well-aligned with our existing portfolio, (iii) enhances certain portfolio metrics, and (iv) adds an attractive portfolio of self-storage operating properties.

The fair value of the 13,786,302 shares of our common stock issued in the CPA:18 Merger as part of the consideration paid for CPA:18 – Global of $1.6 billion was derived from the closing market price of our common stock on the acquisition date. As required by GAAP, the fair value related to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as well as the shares exchanged, has been computed as of the date we gained control, which was the closing date of the CPA:18 Merger, in a manner consistent with the methodology described above.

Goodwill is not deductible for income tax purposes.

Equity Investments

During the third quarter of 2022, we recognized a gain on change in control of interests of approximately $22.5 million, which was the difference between the carrying value of approximately $65.8 million and the fair value of approximately $88.3 million of our previously held equity interest in 8,556,732 shares of CPA:18 – Global’s common stock.

The CPA:18 Merger also resulted in our acquisition of the remaining interests in four investments in which we already had a joint interest and accounted for under the equity method. Upon acquiring the remaining interests in these investments, we owned 100% of these investments and thus accounted for the acquisitions of these interests utilizing the purchase method of accounting. Due to the change in control of the four jointly owned investments that occurred, we recorded a gain on change in control of interests of approximately $11.4 million during the third quarter of 2022, which was the difference between our

Performance Obligations and Significant Judgments

The fees earned pursuant to our advisory agreements are considered variable consideration. For the agreements that include multiple performance obligations, including asset management and investment structuring services, revenue is allocated to each performance obligation based on estimates of the price that we would charge for each promised service if it were sold on a standalone basis.

Judgment is applied in assessing whether there should be a constraint on the amount of fees recognized, such as amounts in excess of certain threshold limits with respect to the contract price or any potential clawback provisions included in certain of our arrangements. We exclude fees subject to such constraints to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of those amounts will occur.

CESH1.0%In cashBased on gross assets at fair value

For CWI 1 and CWI 2 (prior to the closingdisposition of the CWI 1 and CWI 2 Merger on April 13, 2020), we earned asset management fees of 0.5% and 0.55%, respectively, of the average market values of their respective investment portfolios, paid in shares of their common stock and Class A common stock, respectively. We were required to pay 20% and 25% of such fees to the subadvisors of CWI 1 and CWI 2, respectively.a portfolio property.

The performance obligation for asset management services is satisfied over time as services are rendered. The time-based output method is used to measure progress over time, as this is representative of the transfer of the services. We are compensated for our services on a monthly or quarterly basis. However, these services represent a series of distinct daily services under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Accordingly, we satisfy the performance obligation and resolve the variability associated with our fees on a daily basis. We apply the practical expedient and, as a result, do not disclose variable consideration attributable to wholly or partially unsatisfied performance obligations as of the end of the reporting period.

In providing asset management services, we are reimbursed for certain costs. Direct reimbursement of these costs does not represent a separate performance obligation. Payment for asset management services is typically due on the first business day following the month of the delivery of the service.

Structuring and Other Advisory Revenue
Under the terms of the advisory agreements with the Managed Programs, we may earn revenue for structuringIncome and negotiating investments. For CPA:18 – Global and CESH, we may earn fees of 4.5% and 2.0%, respectively, of the total aggregate cost of the investments or commitments made. For CWI 1 and CWI 2 (prior to the closing of the CWI 1 and CWI 2 Merger on April 13, 2020), we were entitled to fees for structuring investments and loan refinancings. We were required to pay 20% and 25% of such fees to the subadvisors of CWI 1 and CWI 2, respectively.
The performance obligation for investment structuring services is satisfied at a point in time upon the closing of an investment acquisition, when there is an enforceable right to payment, and control (as well as the risks and rewards) has been transferred. Determining when control transfers requires management to make judgments that affect the timing of revenue recognized. Payment is due either on the day of acquisition (current portion) or deferred, as described above (Note 5). We do not believe the deferral of the fees represents a significant financing component.Reimbursements

Under the advisory agreement with NLOP, we earn a base administrative amount of approximately $4.0 million annually, for certain administrative services, including day-to-day management services, investor relations, accounting, tax, legal, and other administrative matters, paid in cash.

For CPA:18 – Global, such costs (excluding those related to our legal transactions group, our senior management, and our investments team) are charged to CPA:18 – Global based on the average of the trailing 12-month aggregate reported revenues of the Managed Programs and us, and personnel costs are capped at 1.0% of CPA:18 – Global’s pro rata lease revenues for 2021, 2020, and 2019; for the legal transactions group, costs are charged according to a fee schedule. For the CWI REITs, the reimbursements were based on actual expenses incurred, excluding those related to our senior management, and allocated between the CWI REITs based on the percentage of their total pro rata hotel revenues for the most recently completed quarter. Reimbursements from the CWI REITs ceased following the closing of the CWI 1 and CWI 2 Merger on April 13, 2020; after that date, we began recording reimbursements from WLT pursuant to a transition services agreement (described below) based on actual expenses incurred.

CWI 1 and CWI 2 Merger

On October 22, 2019, CWI 1 and CWI 2 announced that they had entered into a definitive merger agreement under which the two companies intended to merge in an all-stock transaction, with CWI 2 as the surviving entity. The CWI 1 and CWI 2 Merger was approved by the stockholders of CWI 1 and CWI 2 on April 8, 2020 and closed on April 13, 2020. Subsequently, CWI 2 was renamed WLT, as described in Note 1. In connection with the CWI 1 and CWI 2 Merger, we entered into an internalization agreement and a transition services agreement. Immediately following the closing of the CWI 1 and CWI 2 Merger, (i) the advisory agreements with each of CWI 1 and CWI 2 and each of their respective operating partnerships terminated, (ii) the subadvisory agreements with the subadvisors for CWI 1 and CWI 2 were terminated, (iii) pursuant to the internalization agreement, two of our representatives were appointed to the board of directors of WLT (however both representatives resigned from the board of directors of WLT on April 29, 2020), and (iv) we provided certain transition services at cost to WLT, pursuant to a transition services agreement. On October 13, 2021, all services provided under the transition services agreement were terminated.

In accordance with the merger agreement, at the effective time of the CWI 1 and CWI 2 Merger, each issued and outstanding share of CWI 1’s common stock (or fraction thereof), was converted into the right to receive 0.9106 shares (the “exchange ratio”) of CWI 2 Class A common stock. As a result, we exchanged 6,074,046 shares of CWI 1 common stock for 5,531,025 shares of CWI 2 Class A common stock.

Pursuant to the internalization agreement, the operating partnerships of each of CWI 1 and CWI 2 redeemed the special general partner interests that we previously held, for which we received 1,300,000 shares of CWI 2 preferred stock with a liquidation preference of $50.00 per share and 2,840,549 shares in CWI 2 Class A common stock (which was a non-cash investing activity). In connection with this redemption, we recognized a non-cash net gain on sale of $33.0 million, which was included within (Losses) earnings from equity method investments in the consolidated statements of income for the year ended December 31, 2020. This net gain on sale was recorded based on:

an allocation of $34.3 million of goodwill within our Investment Management segment in accordance with ASC 350, Intangiblesgoodwill and other, since the WLT management internalization resulted in a sale of a portion of our Investment Management business (the allocation of goodwill was based on the relative fair value of the portion of the Investment Management business sold) (Note 6); and
the carrying value of our previously held equity investments in the operating partnerships of CWI 1 and CWI 2 (Note 7), which totaled $0.5 million on the date of the merger.

We accounted for our investment in shares of WLT (formerly CWI 2) preferred stock as available-for-sale debt securities, which is included in Other assets, net in the consolidated financial statements, at fair value. We classified this investment as Level 3 because we primarily used a discounted cash flow valuation model that incorporates unobservable inputs to determine its fair value. In January 2022, WLT redeemed in full our 1,300,000 shares of its preferred stock for gross proceeds of $65.0 million (based on the liquidation preference of $50.00 per share, as described above) (Note 17). Since this redemption was based on market conditions that existed as of December 31, 2021, during the year ended December 31, 2021, we recognized an unrealized gain on our investment in preferred shares of WLT of $18.7 million, which was recognized within Other comprehensive income (loss) in the consolidated financial statements. The fair value of our investment in preferred shares of WLT approximated its carrying value, which was $65.0 million and $46.3 million as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively (Note 8).

Prior to the closing of the CWI 1 and CWI 2 Merger, we owned 3,836,669 shares of CWI 2 Class A common stock. Following the closing of the CWI 1 and CWI 2 Merger, execution of the internalization agreement, and CWI 2 being renamed WLT, we own 12,208,243 shares of WLT common stock, which we account for as an equity method investment. We follow the hypothetical liquidation at book value (“HLBV”) model and recognize within equity income our proportionate share of WLT’s earnings based on our ownership of common stock of WLT, after giving effect to preferred dividends owed by WLT. We record our investment in shares of common stock of WLT on a one quarter lag. Our investment in shares of common stock of WLT, which is included in Equity method investments in the consolidated financial statements (as an equity method investment in real estate), had a carrying value of $33.4 million and $44.2 million as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively (Note 7).

Loans to Affiliates

From time to time, our Boardboard of directors (our “Board”) has approved the making of secured and unsecured loans or lines of credit from us to certain of the Managed Programs, at our sole discretion, generally for the purpose of facilitating acquisitions or for working capital purposes.

The principal outstanding balance on our line of credit to CPA:18 – Global was $21.1 million as of December 31, 2020. In July 2022, CPA:18 – Global repaid the $16.0 million principal outstanding in full during the year ended December 31, 2021. In the fourth quarter of 2021, the maturity date of thisbalance on its line of credit was extended from March 31, 2022 to March 31, 2023. In January 2022, we loaned $13.0 million toin full.

No such line of credit with and into one of our wholly owned subsidiaries (the “CPA:17 Merger”), which we accounted for as a business combination under the acquisition method of accounting. The purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, based upon their preliminary fair values at October 31, 2018. We identified certain measurement period adjustmentsCESH existed during the third quarter of 2019 that impacted the provisional accounting (resulting in a $15.8 million increase in Goodwill (Note 6)). As a result, during 2019, we recorded a loss on change in control of interests of $8.4 million on the purchase of the remaining interest in a real estate investment from CPA:17 – Global in the CPA:17 Merger (Note 5).reporting period.

Other

At December 31, 2021,2023, we owned interests in 10eight jointly owned investments in real estate, (including our investment in shares of common stock of WLT, as described above), with the remaining interests held by affiliates or third parties. We consolidate four such investments and account for 9 suchthe remaining four investments under the equity method of accounting (Note 79) and consolidate the remaining investment.. In addition, we owned stock of CPA:18 – Global and limited partnership units of CESH at that date. We accounted for our investment in CPA:18 – Global under the equity method of accounting and elected to account for our investment in CESH under the fair value option (Note 79).

As a result of this fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates, the carrying value of our Land, buildings and improvements subject to operating leases decreased— net lease and other increased by $244.1$129.9 million from December 31, 20202022 to December 31, 2021.2023.

See Note 3 for a description of land, buildings and improvements derecognized in connection with the Spin-Off.

See Note 7 for a description of land, buildings and improvements reclassified to net investments in sales-type leases during the year ended December 31, 2023.

On January 31, 2023, the master lease expired on certain hotel properties previously classified as net-lease properties, which converted to operating properties. As a result, in February 2023, we reclassified 12 consolidated hotel properties with an aggregate carrying value of $164.6 million from Land, buildings and improvements — net lease and other to Land, buildings and improvements — operating properties. Effective as of that time, we began recognizing operating property revenues and expenses from these properties, whereas previously we recognized lease revenues from these properties.

In connection with changes in lease classifications due to extensions of the underlying leases, we reclassified 7five properties with an aggregate carrying value of $76.9$25.4 million from Net investments in direct financingfinance leases and loans receivable to Land, buildings and improvements subject to operating leases— net lease and other during 20212023 (Note 57).

As discussed in Note 4, we acquired 39 consolidated properties subject to existing operating leases in the CPA:18 Merger, which increased the carrying value of our Land, buildings and improvements — net lease and other by $881.6 million during the year ended December 31, 2022.

Depreciation expense, including the effect of foreign currency translation, on our buildings and improvements subject to operating leases was $286.4$325.8 million, $258.9$299.4 million, and $229.0$286.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020,2023, 2022, and 2019,2021, respectively.

During 2021, we determined that the tenant/seller in the January 2020 acquisition of an industrial facility in Aurora, Oregon, would not be able to secure an easement on the property. As a result, the tenant/seller forfeited $5.0 million of the initial purchase price that we held back at the time of acquisition, the release of which was contingent on securing the easement. Since we previously accounted for this as a contingent liability and included the $5.0 million holdback within our capitalized real estate, we reduced the carrying value of Land, buildings and improvements subject to operating leases by this amount during 2021 and removed the corresponding liability from Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets.

As described above under Land, Buildings and Improvements — Net Lease and Other, on January 31, 2023, the master lease expired on certain hotel properties previously classified as net-lease properties, which converted to operating properties. As a result, in February 2023, we reclassified 12 consolidated hotel properties with an aggregate carrying value of $164.6 million from Land, buildings and improvements — net lease and other to Land, buildings and improvements — operating properties. We sold eight of these hotel properties during the third and fourth quarters of 2023. As a result of these dispositions, the carrying value of our Land, buildings and improvements — operating properties decreased by $89.7 million from December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2023 (Note 17).

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the U.S. dollar weakened against the British pound sterling, resulting in an increase of $5.1 million in the carrying value of our Land, buildings and improvements — operating properties from December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2023.

During the year ended December 31, 2023, we completed a student housing development project and reclassified $25.5 million from real estate under construction to buildings and improvements attributable to operating properties.

Depreciation expense, including the effect of foreign currency translation, on our buildings and improvements attributable to operating properties was $2.7$29.8 million, $2.8$11.6 million, and $6.9$2.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, 2020, and 2019, respectively.

Net Investments in Sales-Type Leases

On February 28, 2023, the tenant occupying our portfolio of 78 net-lease self-storage properties located in the United States provided notice of its intention to exercise its option to repurchase the properties. The purchase price will be calculated using the U.S. CPI as of the closing date. In accordance with ASC 842, Leases, we reclassified these net-lease assets to net investments in sales-type leases totaling $451.4 million on our consolidated balance sheets (based on the present value of remaining rents and estimated purchase price, using the CPI rates as of the exercise notice date), since the tenant provided notice of its intention to exercise its purchase option. In connection with this transaction, we reclassified the following amounts to Net investments in finance leases and loans receivable: (i) $393.7 million from Land, buildings and improvements — net lease and other, (ii) $36.6 million from In-place lease intangible assets and other, (iii) $22.4 million from Above-market rent intangible assets, (iv) $18.5 million from Below-market rent and other intangible liabilities, net, and (v) $159.0 million from Accumulated depreciation and amortization.

On October 31, 2023, we entered into an agreement to sell our portfolio of 70 office properties located in Spain to the tenant occupying the properties. In accordance with ASC 842, Leases, we reclassified these net-lease assets to net investments in sales-type leases totaling $348.6 million on our consolidated balance sheets (based on the estimated purchase price and the foreign currency exchange rate of the euro on the agreement date), since this agreement resulted in a lease modification. In connection with this transaction, we reclassified the following amounts to Net investments in finance leases and loans receivable: (i) $269.0 million from Land, buildings and improvements — net lease and other, (ii) $57.4 million from In-place lease intangible assets and other, (iii) $21.7 million from Other assets, net, and (iv) $76.4 million from Accumulated depreciation and amortization.

Loans Receivable

In August 2023, one of our secured loans receivable was repaid to us for $28.0 million. In connection with this repayment, we received an $0.6 million prepayment penalty from the borrower, which was included in Income from finance leases and loans receivable in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023. This secured loan receivable was initially acquired in the CPA:18 Merger (Note 4).

During the year ended December 31, 2023, we recorded an allowance for credit losses of $0.8 million on our sale-leaseback transactions accounted for as loans receivable due to changes in economic conditions.

In September 2022, one of our secured loans receivable was repaid to us for $34.0 million. In connection with this repayment, we recorded a release of allowance for credit losses of $10.5 million since the loan principal was fully repaid.

During the year ended December 31, 2022, we entered into one sale-leaseback, which was deemed to be a loan receivable, at a cost of $19.8 million

At both December 31, 2021 and 2020, we had 2 secured loans receivable related to a domestic investment with an aggregate carrying value of $24.1 million (net of allowance for credit losses of $12.6 million), which are included in Net investments in direct financing leases and loans receivable in the consolidated financial statements. In the first quarter of 2021, we entered into an agreement with the borrowers, who agreed to pay us at maturity a total of $3.7 million of unpaid interest due over the previous year. We did not recognize this interest in the consolidated financial statements due to uncertainty of collectibility. Earnings from our loans receivable are included in Income from direct financingfinance leases and loans receivable in the consolidated financial statements, and totaled $4.3$19.1 million, $1.0$21.2 million, and $6.2$4.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, 2020, and 2019, respectively. We did not recognize income from our secured loans receivable during the second, third, or fourth quarters of 2020, since such income was deemed uncollectible as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic (Note 2).
 
Credit Quality of Finance Receivables
 
We generally invest in facilities that we believe are critical to a tenant’s business and therefore have a lower risk of tenant default. During the year ended December 31, 2023, we reclassified certain assets to net investments in sales-type leases (which are considered finance receivables), as described above under Net Investments in Sales-Type Leases. At both December 31, 20212023 and 2020, other than uncollected income from our secured loans receivable (as noted above),2022, no material balances of our finance receivables were past due. Other than the lease extensions noted above under Net Investments in Direct Financing Leases above,, there were no material modifications of finance receivables during the year ended December 31, 2021.2023.

We evaluate the credit quality of our finance receivables utilizing an internal five-point credit rating scale, with one representing the highest credit quality and five representing the lowest. A credit quality of one through three indicates a range of investment grade to stable. A credit quality of four through five indicates a range of inclusion on the watch list to risk of default. The credit quality evaluation of our finance receivables is updated quarterly. We believe the credit quality of our deferred acquisition fees receivable falls under category one, as CPA:18 – Global is expected to have the available cash to make such payments (Note 3).

A summary of our finance receivables by internal credit quality rating, excluding our deferred acquisition fees receivable (Note 3) and allowance for credit losses, is as follows (dollars in thousands):

Current accounting guidance requires that we test for the recoverability of goodwill at the reporting unit level. The test for recoverability must be conducted at least annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable. We performed (i) our annual test for impairment in October 20212023 and (ii) a test for impairment in connection with the Spin-Off in November 2023, for goodwill recorded in both segmentsour Real Estate segment and found no impairment indicated.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 7.9. Equity Method Investments

We own interests in (i) the Managed Programs, (ii) certain unconsolidated real estate investments with CPA:18 – Global and third parties and (iii) WLT.in the Managed Programs. We account for our interests in these investments under the equity method of accounting (i.e., at cost, increased or decreased by our share of earnings or losses, less distributions, plus contributions and other adjustments required by equity method accounting, such as basis differences) or at fair value by electing the equity method fair value option available under GAAP.

We classify distributions received from equity method investments using the cumulative earnings approach. In general, distributions received are considered returns on the investment and classified as cash inflows from operating activities. If, however, the investor’s cumulative distributions received, less distributions received in prior periods determined to be returns of investment, exceeds cumulative equity in earnings recognized, the excess is considered a return of investment and is classified as cash inflows from investing activities.

Interests in Unconsolidated Real Estate Investments

We own equity interests in properties that are generally leased to companies through noncontrolling interests in partnerships and limited liability companies that we do not control but over which we exercise significant influence. The underlying investments are jointly owned with third parties. We account for these investments under the equity method of accounting. Operating results of our unconsolidated real estate investments are included in the Real Estate segment.

The following table sets forth our ownership interests in our equity method investments in real estate, excluding the Managed Programs, and their respective carrying values (dollars in thousands):

(c)This investment is reported using the hypothetical liquidation at book value model, which may be different than pro rata ownership percentages, primarily due to the capital structure of the partnership agreement.

We received aggregate distributions of $29.1 million, $27.8 million, and $18.6 million from our unconsolidated real estate investments for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively. At December 31, 2023 and 2022, the aggregate unamortized basis differences on our unconsolidated real estate investments were $18.0 million and $19.1 million, respectively.

Las Vegas Retail Complex

On June 10, 2021, we entered into an agreement to fund a construction loan of approximately $261.9 million for a retail complex in Las Vegas, Nevada, at an interest rate of 6.0% and term of 36 months. Through December 31, 2023, we funded $231.4 million, with the remaining amount expected to be funded in 2024. We hold a purchase option for two net-leased units at the complex upon its completion, as well as an equity purchase option to acquire a 47.5% equity interest in the partnership that owns the borrower. As of the agreement date, we did not deem the exercise of the purchase options to be reasonably certain.

W. P. Carey 2023 10-K92


Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
In accordance with ASC 810, Consolidation, we determined that this loan will not be consolidated, but due to the characteristics of the arrangement (including our participation in expected residual profits), the risks and rewards of the agreement are similar to those associated with an investment in real estate rather than a loan. Therefore, the loan will be treated as an implied investment in real estate (i.e., an equity method investment in real estate) for accounting purposes in accordance with the acquisition, development and construction arrangement sub-section of ASC 310, Receivables. Equity income from this investment was $12.8 million and $10.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, which was recognized within Earnings (losses) from equity method investments in our consolidated statements of income.

Managed Programs
We own interests in the Managed Programs and account for these interests under the equity method because, as their advisor, we do not exert control over, but we do have the ability to exercise significant influence over, the Managed Programs.

We received distributions from our investment in the CWI 1 operating partnership during the year ended December 31, 2019 of $7.1 million (Note 3). We did not receive such a distribution during 2020 (through April 13, 2020), as a result of the adverse effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on the operations of CWI 1.

CWI 2We received distributions from this investment during the years ended December 31, 2020 (through April 13, 2020, the date of the CWI 1 and CWI 2 Merger (Note 3)) and 2019 of $0.5 million and $1.6 million, respectively.

We record our investment in CESH on a one quarter lag; therefore, the balance of our equity method investment in CESH recorded as of December 31, 2021 is based on the estimated fair value of our investment as of September 30, 2021. We received distributions from this investment during the year ended December 31, 2021 of $1.3 million. We did not receive distributions from this investment during the years ended December 31, 2020 or 2019.

At December 31, 2021 and 2020, the aggregate unamortized basis differences on our unconsolidated real estate investments were $7.9 million and $16.1 million, respectively. This decrease was primarily due to an other-than-temporary impairment charge that we recognized on an equity method investment in real estate during the year ended December 31, 2021, as described above and in Note 8.

CESHWe have elected to account for our investment in 2.43% of CESH at fair value by selecting the equity method fair value option available under GAAP. We record our investment in CESH on a one quarter lag; therefore, the balance of our equity method investment in CESH recorded as of December 31, 2023 is based on the estimated fair value of our investment as of September 30, 2023. The carrying amount of our investment in CESH was $1.3 million and $2.2 million as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Note 8.10. Fair Value Measurements
 
The fair value of an asset is defined as the exit price, which is the amount that would either be received when an asset is sold or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The guidance establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers are: Level 1, for which quoted market prices for identical instruments are available in active markets, such as money market funds, equity securities, and U.S. Treasury securities; Level 2, for which there are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the instrument, such as certain derivative instruments including interest rate caps, interest rate swaps, and foreign currency collars; and Level 3, for securities that do not fall into Level 1 or Level 2 and for which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring us to develop our own assumptions.

Items Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The methods and assumptions described below were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument. For significant Level 3 items, we have also provided the unobservable inputs.

Derivative Assets and Liabilities — Our derivative assets and liabilities, which are included in Other assets, net and Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities, respectively, in the consolidated financial statements, are comprised of foreign currency collars, interest rate swaps, interest rate caps, and stock warrants (Note 911).

The valuation of our derivative instruments (excluding stock warrants) is determined using a discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, as well as observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves, spot and forward rates, and implied volatilities. We incorporate credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both our own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. In adjusting the fair value of our derivative instruments for the effect of nonperformance risk, we have considered the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral postings, thresholds, mutual puts, and guarantees. These derivative instruments were classified as Level 2 as these instruments are custom, over-the-counter contracts with various bank counterparties that are not traded in an active market.

W. P. Carey 2023 10-K93


Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
The stock warrants were measured at fair value using valuation models that incorporate market inputs and our own assumptions about future cash flows. We classified these assets as Level 3 because these assets are not traded in an active market.

W. P. Carey 2021 10-K87


Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Equity Method Investment in CESH We have elected to account for our investment in CESH, which is included in Equity method investments in the consolidated financial statements, at fair value by selecting the equity method fair value option available under GAAP (Note 79). We classified this investment as Level 3 because we primarily used valuation models that incorporate unobservable inputs to determine its fair value.

Investment in Shares of Lineage Logistics We have elected to apply the measurement alternative under ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments — Overall (Subtopic 825-10) to account for our investment in shares of Lineage Logistics (a cold storage REIT), which is included in Other assets, net in the consolidated financial statements. Under this alternative, the carrying value is adjusted for any impairments or changes in fair value resulting from observable transactions for similar or identical investments in the issuer. We classified this investment as Level 3 because it is not traded in an active market. During the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020,2022 and 2019,2021, we recognized non-cash unrealized gains on our investment in shares of Lineage Logistics totaling $76.3 million, $48.3$38.6 million and $32.9$76.3 million, respectively, due to secondary market transactions at a higher price per share, which was recorded within Other gains and (losses) in the consolidated financial statements. In addition, during the year ended December 31, 2021,2022, we received a cash dividenddividends of $6.4$4.3 million from our investment in shares of Lineage Logistics, which was recorded within Non-operating income in the consolidated financial statements. See Note 14 for further discussion of the impact of Lineage Logistics’s conversion to a REIT during the first quarter of 2020. In addition, in October 2020, we purchased additional shares of Lineage Logistics for $95.5 million. The fair value of this investment was $366.3 million and $290.0$404.9 million at both December 31, 20212023 and 2020, respectively.2022.

Investment in Shares of GCIF We account for our investment in shares of GCIF, which is included in Other assets, net in the consolidated financial statements, at fair value. We classified this investment as Level 2 because we used a quoted price from an inactive market to determine its fair value. During the year ended December 31, 2021,2023, we received liquidating distributions from our investment in shares of GCIF totaling $1.5$1.0 million, which reduced the cost basis of our investment (in March 2021, GCIF announced its intention to liquidate and to distribute substantially all of its assets). During the year ended December 31, 2021, we redeemed a portion of our investment in shares of GCIF for approximately $0.8 million and recognized a net loss of $0.1 million, which was included within Other gains and (losses) in the consolidated statements of income. In addition, during the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019, we received distributions from our investment in shares of GCIF totaling less than $0.1 million, $0.6 million, and $2.0 million, respectively, which were recorded within Non-operating income in the consolidated financial statements. During the year ended December 31, 2021, we recognized unrealized gains on our investment in shares of GCIF totaling $0.6 million, which was recognized within Other gains and (losses) in the consolidated financial statements. The fair value of our investment in shares of GCIF was $4.3$0.8 million and $6.1$1.7 million at December 31, 20212023 and 2020,2022, respectively.

Investment in Preferred Shares of WLT We account for our investment in preferred shares of WLT (Note 3), which is included in Other assets, net in the consolidated financial statements, as available-for-sale debt securities at fair value. The fair value was primarily determined by a discounted cash flow approach based on a weighted-average probability analysis of certain redemption options. We classified this investment as Level 3 because the discounted cash flow valuation model incorporates unobservable inputs to determine its fair value, including a cash flow discount rate of 15% as of December 31, 2020. In January 2022, WLT redeemed in full our 1,300,000 shares of its preferred stock for gross proceeds of $65.0 million (based on the liquidation preference of $50.00 per share), as described in Note 3 and Note 17. Since this redemption was based on market conditions that existed as of December 31, 2021, during the year ended December 31, 2021, we recognized an unrealized gain on our investment in preferred shares of WLT of $18.7 million, which was recognized within Other comprehensive income (loss) in the consolidated financial statements. In January 2022, in connection with this redemption, we reclassified this $18.7 million unrealized gain from Accumulated other comprehensive loss to Other gains and (losses) in the consolidated financial statements (Note 14). During the year ended December 31, 2021,2022, we received cash dividends of $4.9$0.9 million from our investment in preferred shares of WLT, which was recorded within Non-operating income in the consolidated financial statements. The fair value

Investment in Common Shares of WLT — In January 2022, we reclassified our investment in 12,208,243 shares of common stock of WLT from equity method investments to equity securities, since we no longer had significant influence over WLT, following the redemption of our investment in preferred shares of WLT, as described above. As a result, we accounted for this investment, which was $65.0included in Other assets, net in the consolidated financial statements, at fair value. We classified this investment as Level 3 because it is not traded in an active market. We recognized non-cash unrealized gains of $49.2 million and $46.3 million ason our investment in shares of common stock of WLT during the year ended December 31, 20212022, reflecting the most recently published net asset value of WLT, which was recorded within Other gains and 2020, respectively.(losses) in the consolidated financial statements. WLT completed its previously announced sale to private real estate funds in October 2022 and we received $82.6 million in cash proceeds. Upon completion of this transaction, we have no remaining interest in WLT.

We did not have any transfers into or out of Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 category of measurements during either the years ended December 31, 20212023 or 2020.2022. Gains and losses (realized and unrealized) recognized on items measured at fair value on a recurring basis included in earnings are reported within Other gains and (losses) on our consolidated financial statements.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Impairment charges, and their related triggering events and fair value measurements, recognized during 2021, 2020,2023, 2022, and 20192021 were as follows:

Land, BuildingsReal Estate and ImprovementsIntangibles

The impairment charges described below are reflected within Impairment charges — real estate in our consolidated statements of income.

2023 — During the year ended December 31, 2023, we recorded an impairment charge of $47.3 million related to the 59 properties that were contributed to NLOP in the Spin-Off (Note 3). The fair value measurements for certain of these properties were determined by estimating discounted cash flows using the following unobservable inputs:

Market rents ranging from $6 per square foot to $65 per square foot;
Cash flow discount rates ranging from 6.5% to 12.0%; and Intangibles
Terminal capitalization rates ranging from 5.5% to 12.0%.

Additionally, the fair value measurements for certain of these properties approximated their estimated selling prices.

The fair value measurements for the non-recourse mortgages encumbering certain of the properties that were contributed to NLOP were determined using a discounted cash flow model that estimates the present value of the future loan payments by discounting such payments at current estimated market interest rates. The estimated market interest rates consider interest rate risk and the value of the underlying collateral, which includes quality of the collateral, the credit quality of the tenant/obligor, and the time until maturity.

In addition, during the year ended December 31, 2023, we recognized impairment charges totaling $39.1 million on three office properties in order to reduce their carrying values to their estimated fair values, which approximated their estimated selling prices. We sold one of these properties in October 2023.

2022 — During the year ended December 31, 2022, we recognized impairment charges totaling $39.1 million on 11 properties in order to reduce their carrying values to their estimated fair values, as follows:

$12.4 million on three properties based on their estimated selling prices; we sold one of these properties in August 2022, one in March 2023, and one in January 2024 (Note 19);
$10.9 million on a property due to changes in expected cash flows related to the existing tenant’s lease expiration in 2023. The fair value measurement was determined by estimating discounted cash flows using two significant unobservable inputs, which were the cash flow discount rate (14.0%) and terminal capitalization rate (11.0%); we sold this property in November 2023;
$9.3 million on six Pendragon PLC properties in order to reduce the carrying values of the properties to their estimated fair values. The fair value measurements for the properties were determined using a direct capitalization rate analysis; the capitalization rate for the various scenarios ranged from 4.75% to 10.00%. In March 2022, we entered into a transaction to restructure certain leases with Pendragon PLC (a tenant at certain automotive dealerships in the United Kingdom). Under this restructuring, we extended the leases on 30 properties by 11 years (no change to rent) and entered into an agreement to dispose of 12 properties, with the tenant continuing to pay rent until the earlier of sale date or certain specified dates over the following 12 months; four of these properties were sold during 2022; and
$6.5 million on a property due to a potential property vacancy.

2021 — During the year ended December 31, 2021, we recognized impairment charges totaling $24.2 million on 2two properties in order to reduce the carrying values of the properties to their estimated fair values, as follows:

$16.3 million on a property due to the existingformer tenant’s non-renewal of its lease expiring in 2022; the fair value measurement was determined by estimating discounted cash flows using four significant unobservable inputs, which were the cash flow discount rate (range of 7.00% to 9.00%), terminal capitalization rate (range of 6.00% to 7.00%), estimated market rents (range of $10 to $11 per square foot), and estimated capital expenditures ($100 per square foot); we sold this property in September 2022; and
$7.9 million on a property due to a lease termination and resulting vacancy; the fair value measurement for the property was based on the sales prices for comparable properties.properties; we sold this property in March 2023.

Investment Management Goodwill

The impairment charges described below are reflected within Impairment charges — Investment Management goodwill in our consolidated statements of income.

2022 — During the year ended December 31, 2020, we recognized impairment charges totaling $35.8 million on 6 properties in order to reduce the carrying values of the properties to their estimated fair values, as follows:

$16.0 million on 2 properties leased to the same tenant, due to potential property vacancies; the fair value measurements for the properties were determined using a direct capitalization rate analysis based on the probability of vacancy versus the tenant continuing in the lease; the capitalization rate for the various scenarios ranged from 6% to 11%;
$12.6 million on an international property due to a tenant bankruptcy; the fair value measurement for the property was determined by using a probability-weighted approach of lease restructure and vacancy scenarios;
$3.4 million on an international property based on its estimated selling price; the property was sold in September 2020;
$2.8 million on an international property due to a lease expiration and resulting vacancy; the fair value measurement for the property approximated its estimated selling price; and
$1.0 million on a property based on its estimated selling price; the property was sold in September 2021.

2019 During the year ended December 31, 2019,2022, we recognized an impairment charge of $1.3$29.3 million on a propertygoodwill within our Investment Management segment in order to reduce theits carrying value of the property to its estimated fair value. The fair value measurement for this property approximated its estimated selling price, and this property was sold in February 2020.of $0, since future Investment Management cash flows are expected to be minimal following the CPA:18 Merger (Note 4).

Equity Method Investments

The other-than-temporary impairment charges described below are reflected within (Losses) earningsEarnings (losses) from equity method investments in our consolidated statements of income.

2021 — During the year ended December 31, 2021, we recognized an other-than-temporary impairment charge of $6.8 million on a jointly owned real estate investment to reduce the carrying value of our investment to its estimated fair value, which declined due to changes in expected cash flows related to the existing tenant’s lease expiration in 2028. The fair value measurement was determined by estimating discounted cash flows using three significant unobservable inputs, which were the cash flow discount rate (5.75%), residual discount rate (7.50%), and residual capitalization rate (6.75%).

2020 — During the year ended December 31, 2020, we recognized other-than-temporary impairment charges of $27.8 million and $19.3 million on our equity method investments in CWI 1 and CWI 2, respectively, to reduce the carrying values of our investments to their estimated fair values, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which had an adverse effect on the operations of CWI 1 and CWI 2. The fair value measurements were estimated based on implied asset value changes and changes in market capitalizations for publicly traded lodging REITs, all of which was obtained from third-party market data.

During the year ended December 31, 2020, we recognized an other-than-temporary impairment charge of $8.3 million on a jointly owned real estate investment to reduce the carrying value of our investment to its estimated fair value, which declined due to an uncertain probability of lease renewal with the tenant at the international office facility owned by the investment (lease expiration is in May 2023). The fair value measurement was determined by relying on an estimate of the fair market value of the property and the related mortgage loan, both provided by a third party.

Net Investments in Direct Financing Leases

2019 During the year ended December 31, 2019, we recognized impairment charges totaling $31.2 million on 5 properties accounted for as Net investments in direct financing leases, primarily due to a lease restructuring, based on the cash flows expected to be derived from the underlying assets (discounted at the rate implicit in the lease), in accordance with ASC 310, Receivables.

Note 9.11. Risk Management and Use of Derivative Financial Instruments

Risk Management

In the normal course of our ongoing business operations, we encounter economic risk. There are four main components of economic risk that impact us: interest rate risk, credit risk, market risk, and foreign currency risk. We are primarily subject to interest rate risk on our interest-bearing liabilities, including our Senior Unsecured Credit Facility (Note 1012) and unhedged variable-rate non-recourse mortgage loans. Credit risk is the risk of default on our operations and our tenants’ inability or unwillingness to make contractually required payments. Market risk includes changes in the value of our properties and related loans, Senior Unsecured Notes, and other securities, and the shares or limited partnership units we hold in the Managed Programs, due to changes in interest rates or other market factors. We own investments in North America, Europe, and Japan and are subject to risks associated with fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates.

Derivative Financial Instruments

When we use derivative instruments, it is generally to reduce our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rate movements. We have not entered into, and do not plan to enter into, financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. In addition to entering into derivative instruments on our own behalf, we may also be a party to derivative instruments that are embedded in other contracts, and we may be granted common stock warrants by lessees when structuring lease transactions, which are considered to be derivative instruments. The primary risks related to our use of derivative instruments include a counterparty to a hedging arrangement defaulting on its obligation and a downgrade in the credit quality of a counterparty to such an extent that our ability to sell or assign our side of the hedging transaction is impaired. While we seek to mitigate these risks by entering into hedging arrangements with large financial institutions that we deem to be creditworthy, it is possible that our hedging transactions, which are intended to limit losses, could adversely affect our earnings. Furthermore, if we terminate a hedging arrangement, we may be obligated to pay certain costs, such as transaction or breakage fees. We have established policies and procedures for risk assessment and the approval, reporting, and monitoring of derivative financial instrument activities.

We measure derivative instruments at fair value and record them as assets or liabilities, depending on our rights or obligations under the applicable derivative contract. Derivatives that are not designated as hedges must be adjusted to fair value through earnings. For derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges, the change in fair value of the derivative is recognized in Other comprehensive income (loss) until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. Gains and losses on the cash flow hedges representing hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness are recognized in earnings over the life of the hedge on a systematic and rational basis, as documented at hedge inception in accordance with our accounting policy election. Such gains and losses are recorded within Other gains and (losses) or Interest expense in our consolidated statements of income. The earnings recognition of excluded components is presented in the same line item as the hedged transactions. For derivatives designated and that qualify as a net investment hedge, the change in the fair value and/or the net settlement of the

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
derivative is reported in Other comprehensive income (loss) as part of the cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment. Amounts are reclassified out of Other comprehensive income (loss) into earnings (within Gain on sale of real estate, net, in our consolidated statements of income) when the hedged net investment is either sold or substantially liquidated.

All derivative transactions with an individual counterparty are governed by a master International Swap and Derivatives Association agreement, which can be considered as a master netting arrangement; however, we report all our derivative instruments on a gross basis on our consolidated financial statements. At both December 31, 20212023 and 2020,2022, no cash collateral had been posted nor received for any of our derivative positions.

Interest Rate Swaps and Caps

We are exposed to the impact of interest rate changes primarily through our borrowing activities. To limit this exposure, we generally seek long-term debt financing on a fixed-rate basis. However, from time to time, we or our investment partners have obtained, and may in the future obtain, variable-rate (i) non-recourse mortgage loans and (ii) unsecured term loans (Note 12), and, as a result, we have entered into, and may continue to enter into, interest rate swap agreements or interest rate cap agreements with counterparties. Interest rate swaps, which effectively convert the variable-rate debt service obligations of a loan to a fixed rate, are agreements in which one party exchanges a stream of interest payments for a counterparty’s stream of cash flow over a specific period. The notional, or face, amount on which the swaps are based is not exchanged. Interest rate caps limit the effective borrowing rate of variable-rate debt obligations while allowing participants to share in downward shifts in interest rates. Our objective in using these derivatives is to limit our exposure to interest rate movements.

The interest rate swaps and caps that our consolidated subsidiaries had outstanding at December 31, 20212023 are summarized as follows (currency in thousands):

Foreign Currency Collars

We are exposed to foreign currency exchange rate movements, primarily in the euro and, to a lesser extent, the British pound sterling the Norwegian krone, and certain other currencies. In order to hedge certain of our foreign currency cash flow exposures, we enter into foreign currency collars. A foreign currency collar consists of a written call option and a purchased put option to sell the foreign currency at a range of predetermined exchange rates. A foreign currency collar guarantees that the exchange rate of the currency will not fluctuate beyond the range of the options’ strike prices. Our foreign currency collars have maturities of 6259 months or less.

Credit Risk-Related Contingent Features

We measure our credit exposure on a counterparty basis as the net positive aggregate estimated fair value of our derivatives, net of any collateral received. No collateral was received as of December 31, 2021.2023. At December 31, 2021,2023, our total credit exposure and the maximum exposure to any single counterparty was $18.4$10.3 million and $4.9$2.6 million, respectively.

Some of the agreements we have with our derivative counterparties contain cross-default provisions that could trigger a declaration of default on our derivative obligations if we default, or are capable of being declared in default, on certain of our indebtedness. At December 31, 2021,2023, we had not been declared in default on any of our derivative obligations. The estimated fair value of our derivatives in a net liability position was $2.2$5.9 million and $25.1$1.7 million at December 31, 20212023 and 2020,2022, respectively, which included accrued interest and any nonperformance risk adjustments. If we had breached any of these provisions at December 31, 20212023 or 2020,2022, we could have been required to settle our obligations under these agreements at their aggregate termination value of $2.3$6.0 million and $25.6$1.7 million, respectively.

Net Investment Hedges

BorrowingsCertain borrowings under our Senior Unsecured Notes, Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility, and Unsecured Term Loans (all as defined in Note 1012) denominated in euro, British pounds sterling, or Japanese yen are designated as, and are effective as, economic hedges of our net investments in foreign entities.

Exchange rate variations impact our financial results because the financial results of our foreign subsidiaries are translated to U.S. dollars each period, with the effect of exchange rate variations being recorded in Other comprehensive income (loss) as part of the cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment. As a result, changes in the value of our borrowings under our euro-denominated senior notes and changes in the value of our euro, Japanese yen, and British pound sterling borrowings under our Senior Unsecured Credit Facility, related to changes in the spot rates, will be reported in the same manner as foreign currency translation adjustments, which are recorded in Other comprehensive income (loss) as part of the cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment. Such (losses) gains (losses) related to non-derivative net investment hedges were $255.9$(121.8) million, $(280.4)$214.3 million, and $33.4$255.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020,2023, 2022, and 2019,2021, respectively.

Earnings Per Share

Under current authoritative guidance for determining earnings per share, all nonvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends are considered to be participating securities and therefore are included in the computation of earnings per share under the two-class method. The two-class method is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for each class of common shares and participating security according to dividends declared (or accumulated) and participation rights in undistributed earnings. We apply the two-class method of computing earnings per share because during prior years, certain of our nonvested RSUs contained rights to receive non-forfeitable dividend equivalents or dividends. The calculation of earnings per share below excludes the income attributable to the nonvested participating RSUs from the numerator and such nonvested shares in the denominator. The following table summarizes basic and diluted earnings (dollars in thousands):

Forward Equity Offering

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
We determined that our ATM Forwards met the criteria for equity classification and were therefore exempt from derivative accounting. We recorded the ATM Forwards at fair value at inception, which we determined to be zero. Subsequent changes to fair value are not required under equity classification.

From time to time, we have entered into underwriting agreements and forward sale agreements with syndicates of banks acting as underwriters, forward sellers, and/or forward purchasers in connection with public offerings of our common stock.stock (the “Equity Forwards”). At the closing of these transactions, the offered shares were borrowed from third parties by the banks acting as forward purchasers and sold to the underwriters for distribution at the respective gross offering prices. As a result of this forward construct, we did not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares at the closing of each offering, but rather at later settlement dates. We have determined that the forward sale agreements meet the criteria for equity classification and are therefore exempt from derivative accounting. We recorded the forward sale agreements at fair value at inception, which we determined to be zero. Subsequent changes to fair value are not required under equity classification.

2017 Share Incentive Plan

We maintain the 2017 Share Incentive Plan, which authorizes the issuance of up to 4,000,000 shares of our common stock. The 2017 Share Incentive Plan provides for the grant of various stock- and cash-based awards, including (i) share options, (ii) RSUs, (iii) PSUs, (iv) RSAs, and (v) dividend equivalent rights. At December 31, 2021, 2,638,3672023, 1,646,877 shares remained available for issuance under the 2017 Share Incentive Plan, which is more fully described in the 2019 Annual Report.
Employee Share Purchase Plan
We sponsor an employee share purchase plan (“ESPP”) pursuant to which eligible employees may contribute up to 10% of compensation, subject to certain limits, to purchase our common stock semi-annually at a price equal to 90% of the fair market value at certain plan defined dates. Compensation expense under this plan for each of the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019 was less than $0.1 million. Cash received from purchases under the ESPP during the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019 was $0.3 million, $0.4 million, and $0.3 million, respectively.

(a)The grant date fair value of shares vested during the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021 2020, and 2019 was $21.4$36.1 million, $24.0$26.5 million, and $39.4$21.4 million, respectively. Employees have the option to take immediate delivery of the shares upon vesting or defer receipt to a future date pursuant to previously made deferral elections. At December 31, 20212023 and 2020,2022, we had an obligation to issue 1,104,0201,196,955 and 986,8591,181,947 shares, respectively, of our common stock underlying such deferred awards, which is recorded within Total stockholders’ equity as a Deferred compensation obligation of $49.8$62.0 million and $42.0$57.0 million, respectively.
(b)Vesting and payment of the PSUs is conditioned upon certain company and/or market performance goals being met during the relevant three-year performance period. The ultimate number of PSUs to be vested will depend on the extent to which the performance goals are met and can range from zero to 3three times the original awards. As a result, we recorded adjustments to reflect the number of shares expected to be issued when the PSUs vest.
W. P. Carey 20212023 10-K 102108


Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(c)The grant date fair value of RSAs and RSUs reflect our stock price on the date of grant on a 1-for-oneone-for-one basis. The grant date fair value of PSUs was determined utilizing (i) a Monte Carlo simulation model to generate an estimate of our future stock price over the three-year performance period and (ii) future financial performance projections.period. To estimate the fair value of PSUs granted during the year ended December 31, 2021,2023, we used a risk-free interest rate of 0.2%3.8%, an expected volatility rate of 36.7%38.2%, and assumed a dividend yield of zero.
(d)At December 31, 2021,2023, total unrecognized compensation expense related to these awards was approximately $25.5$41.9 million, with an aggregate weighted-average remaining term of 1.71.9 years.

At the end of each reporting period, we evaluate the ultimate number of PSUs we expect to vest (based upon the extent to which we have met and expect to meet the performance goals) and where appropriate, revise our estimate and associated expense. We do not revise the associated expense on PSUs expected to vest based on market performance. Upon vesting, the RSUs and PSUs may be converted into shares of our common stock. Both the RSUs and PSUs carry dividend equivalent rights. Dividend equivalent rights on RSUs issued under the predecessor employee plan are paid in cash on a quarterly basis, whereas dividend equivalent rights on RSUs issued under the 2017 Share Incentive Plan are accrued and paid in cash only when the underlying shares vest, which is generally on an annual basis. Dividend equivalents on PSUs accrue during the performance period and are converted into additional shares of common stock at the conclusion of the performance period to the extent the PSUs vest. Dividend equivalent rights are accounted for as a reduction to retained earnings to the extent that the awards are expected to vest.

In connection with the Spin-Off (Note 3), each RSU and PSU outstanding at November 1, 2023 received an equitable adjustment equal to the ratio of the five-day volume weighted average per-share price of our common stock prior to the Spin-Off divided by the five-day volume weighted average per-share of our common stock following the Spin-Off. Concurrently, our Board approved amending the performance vesting conditions assigned to the 2021 and 2022 PSU outstanding awards. The equitable adjustment and the amended performance vesting conditions were considered modifications in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation. As a result, we compared the fair value of each award immediately prior to the modification to the fair value immediately after the modification to measure incremental compensation cost, if any. The modification resulted in minimal incremental fair value. The table above is inclusive of these adjustments.

Employee Share Purchase Plan

We sponsor an employee share purchase plan (“ESPP”) pursuant to which eligible employees may contribute up to 10% of compensation, subject to certain limits, to purchase our common stock semi-annually at a price equal to 90% of the fair market value at certain plan defined dates. Compensation expense under this plan for each of the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021 was less than $0.1 million. Cash received from purchases under the ESPP during the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021 was $0.3 million, $0.2 million, and $0.3 million, respectively.

Profit-Sharing Plan
 
We sponsor a qualified profit-sharing plan and trust that generally permits all employees, as defined by the plan, to make pre-tax contributions into the plan. We are under no obligation to contribute to the plan and the amount of any contribution is determined by and at the discretion of our Board. In December 2021, 2020,2023, 2022, and 2019,2021, our Board determined that the contribution to the plan for each of those respective years would be 10% of an eligible participant’s cash compensation, up to the legal maximum allowable in each of those years of $33,000 for 2023, $30,500 for 2022, and $29,000 for 2021, $28,500 for 2020, and $28,000 for 2019.2021. For the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020,2023, 2022, and 2019,2021, amounts expensed for contributions to the trust were $2.2$2.6 million, $1.9$2.3 million, and $2.1$2.2 million, respectively, which were included in General and administrative expenses in the consolidated financial statements. The profit-sharing plan is a deferred compensation plan and is therefore considered to be outside the scope of current accounting guidance for stock-based compensation.

Total deferred tax liabilities(181,277)(179,761)
Net Deferred Tax Liability$(162,132)$(158,508)

Our deferred tax assets and liabilities are primarily the result of temporary differences related to the following:

Basis differences between tax and GAAP for certain international real estate investments. For income tax purposes, in certain acquisitions, we assume the seller’s basis, or the carry-over basis, in the acquired assets. The carry-over basis is typically lower than the purchase price, or the GAAP basis, resulting in a deferred tax liability with an offsetting increase to goodwill or the acquired tangible or intangible assets;
Timing differences generated by differences in the GAAP basis and the tax basis of assets such as those related to capitalized acquisition costs, straight-line rent, prepaid rents, and intangible assets, as well as unearned and deferred compensation;
Basis differences in equity investments represents fees earned in shares recognized under GAAP into income and deferred for U.S. taxes based upon a share vesting schedule; and
Tax net operating losses in certain subsidiaries, including those domiciled in foreign jurisdictions, that may be realized in future periods if the respective subsidiary generates sufficient taxable income. Certain net operating losses and interest carryforwards were subject to limitations as a result of the CPA:1718 Merger, and thus could not be applied to reduce future income tax liabilities.

As of December 31, 2021,2023, U.S. federal and state net operating loss carryforwards were $21.0$17.3 million and $12.7$11.3 million, respectively, which will begin to expire in 2033. As of December 31, 2021,2023, net operating loss carryforwards in foreign jurisdictions were $84.2$70.2 million, which will begin to expire in 2022.2024.

The net deferred tax liability in the table above is comprised of deferred tax asset balances, net of certain deferred tax liabilities and valuation allowances, of $16.3$18.5 million and $15.1$20.5 million at December 31, 20212023 and 2020,2022, respectively, which are included in Other assets, net in the consolidated balance sheets, and other deferred tax liability balances of $145.6$180.7 million and $145.8$179.0 million at December 31, 20212023 and 2020,2022, respectively, which are included in Deferred income taxes in the consolidated balance sheets.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Our taxable subsidiaries recognize tax positions in the financial statements only when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on examination by the relevant taxing authority based on the technical merits of the position. A position that meets this standard is measured at the largest amount of benefit that will more likely than not be realized on settlement. A liability is established for differences between positions taken in a tax return and amounts recognized in the financial statements.

At December 31, 20212023 and 2020,2022, we had unrecognized tax benefits as presented in the table above that, if recognized, would have a favorable impact on our effective income tax rate in future periods. These unrecognized tax benefits are recorded as liabilities within Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. We recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. At December 31, 20212023 and 2020,2022, we had approximately $2.1$1.3 million and $1.7$1.6 million, respectively, of accrued interest related to uncertain tax positions.

Income Taxes Paid

Income taxes paid were $44.3$38.6 million, $43.5$42.6 million, and $35.3$44.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020,2023, 2022, and 2019,2021, respectively.

Real Estate Operations

We elected to be taxed as a REIT under Section 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code effective as of February 15, 2012. In order to maintain our qualification as a REIT, we are required, among other things, to distribute at least 90% of our REIT net taxable income to our stockholders and meet certain tests regarding the nature of our income and assets. As a REIT, we are not subject to federal income taxes on our income and gains that we distribute to our stockholders as long as we satisfy certain requirements, principally relating to the nature of our income and the level of our distributions, as well as other factors. We believe that we have operated, and we intend to continue to operate, in a manner that allows us to continue to qualify as a REIT. We conduct business primarily in North America and Europe, and as a result, we or one or more of our subsidiaries file income tax returns in the United States federal jurisdiction and various state, local, and foreign jurisdictions.

Investment Management Operations

We conductPrior to the CPA:18 Merger, we conducted our investment management services in our Investment Management segment through TRSs. Our use of TRSs enablesenabled us to engage in certain businesses while complying with the REIT qualification requirements and also allowsallowed us to retain income generated by these businesses for reinvestment without the requirement to distribute those earnings. Certain of our inter-company transactions that have been eliminated in consolidation for financial accounting purposes arewere also subject to taxation. Periodically, shares in the Managed REITs that are payable to our TRSs in consideration of services rendered are distributed from TRSs to us.

Tax authorities in the relevant jurisdictions may select our tax returns for audit and propose adjustments before the expiration of the statute of limitations. Our tax returns filed for tax years 20162018 through 20202022 or any ongoing audits remain open to adjustment in the major tax jurisdictions.

Note 15.17. Property Dispositions

We have an active capital recycling program, with a goal of extending the average lease term through reinvestment, improving portfolio credit quality through dispositions and acquisitions of assets, increasing the asset criticality factor in our portfolio, and/or executing strategic dispositions of assets. We may decide to dispose of a property when it is vacant as a result of tenants vacating space, tenants electing not to renew their leases, tenant insolvency, or lease rejection in the bankruptcy process. In such cases, we assess whether we can obtain the highest value from the property by selling it, as opposed to re-leasing it. We may also sell a property when we receive an unsolicited offer or negotiate a price for an investment that is consistent with our strategy for that investment.investment or, in certain instances, when we sell a property back to the tenant. When it is appropriate to do so, we classify the property as an asset held for sale on our consolidated balance sheet.

In addition, we implemented the Office Sale Program in September 2023, which is targeted to be completed in the first half of 2024 (Note 1).

All property dispositions are recorded within our Real Estate segment and are also discussed in Note 46 and . These dispositions exclude properties contributed to NLOP in the Spin-Off (Note 53).

2023 — During the year ended December 31, 2023, we sold 31 properties for total proceeds, net of selling costs, of $446.4 million, and recognized a net gain on these sales totaling $80.7 million (inclusive of income taxes totaling $1.6 million recognized upon sale). Eight of the properties sold during 2023 were hotel operating properties.

This disposition activity includes the sale of eight properties under the Office Sale Program for total proceeds, net of selling costs, of $216.9 million, resulting in a net gain on these sales totaling $3.6 million.

2022 — During the year ended December 31, 2022, we sold 23 properties for total proceeds, net of selling costs, of $234.7 million, and recognized a net gain on these sales totaling $43.5 million (inclusive of income taxes totaling $5.3 million recognized upon sale). This disposition activity included two properties acquired in the CPA:18 Merger, one of which was classified as assets held for sale and sold in August 2022 (Note 4).

2021 — During the year ended December 31, 2021, we sold 24 properties for total proceeds, net of selling costs, of $163.6 million, and recognized a net gain on these sales totaling $40.4 million (inclusive of income taxes totaling $4.7 million recognized upon sale).

2020 — During the year ended December 31, 2020, we sold 22 properties for total proceeds, net of selling costs, of $366.5 million (inclusive of $4.7 million attributable to a noncontrolling interest), and recognized a net gain on these sales totaling $109.4 million (inclusive of income taxes totaling $3.0 million recognized upon sale and $0.6 million attributable to a noncontrolling interest). Disposition activity included the sale of 1 of our 2 hotel operating properties in January 2020 for total proceeds, net of selling costs, of $103.5 million (inclusive of $4.7 million attributable to a noncontrolling interest).

2019 — During the year ended December 31, 2019, we sold 14 properties for total proceeds, net of selling costs, of $308.0 million and recognized a net gain on these sales totaling $10.9 million (inclusive of income taxes totaling $1.2 million recognized upon sale).

In June 2019, a loan receivable was repaid in full to us for $9.3 million, which resulted in a net loss of $0.1 million.

In October 2019, we transferred ownership of 6 properties and the related non-recourse mortgage loan, which had an aggregate asset carrying value of $42.3 million and a mortgage carrying value of $43.4 million (including a $13.8 million discount on the mortgage loan), respectively, on the date of transfer, to the mortgage lender, resulting in a net gain of $8.3 million (outstanding principal balance was $56.4 million and we wrote off $5.6 million of accrued interest payable).

In addition, in December 2019, we transferred ownership of a property and the related non-recourse mortgage loan, which had an aggregate asset carrying value of $10.4 million and a mortgage carrying value of $8.2 million (including a $0.5 million discount on the mortgage loan), respectively, on the date of transfer, to the mortgage lender, resulting in a net loss of $1.0 million (outstanding principal balance was $8.7 million and we wrote off $0.9 million of accrued interest payable).

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(b)Beginning with the second quarter of 2020, general and administrative expenses attributed to our Investment Management segment are comprised of the incremental costs of providing services to the Managed Programs, which are fully reimbursed by those funds (resulting in no net expense for us). All other general and administrative expenses are attributed to our Real Estate segment. Previously, general and administrative expenses were allocated based on time incurred by our personnel for the Real Estate and Investment Management segments. In addition, beginning with the second quarter of 2020, stock-based compensation expense and corporate depreciation and amortization expense are fully recognized within our Real Estate segment. In light of the termination of the advisory agreements with CWI 1 and CWI 2 in connection with the WLT management internalization (Note 3), we now view essentially all assets, liabilities, and operational expenses as part of our Real Estate segment, other than incremental activities that are expected to wind down as we manage CPA:18 – Global and CESH through the end of their respective life cycles (Note 2). These changes between the segments had no impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Our portfolio is comprised of domestic and international investments. At December 31, 2021,2023, our international investments within our Real Estate segment were comprised of investments in Poland, Germany, Spain, the Netherlands, Poland, the United Kingdom, Canada, Italy, France, Denmark, Croatia, Denmark, Canada,Norway, Mexico, Finland, Mexico, Norway,Belgium, Lithuania, Mauritius, Hungary, Slovakia, Portugal, Lithuania, the Czech Republic, Sweden, Slovakia, Austria, Japan, Latvia, and Estonia. We sold our only remaining investment in Belgium during 2021. No tenant or international country individually comprised at least 10% of our total lease revenues for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020,2023, 2022, or 2019,2021, or at least 10% of our total long-lived assets at December 31, 20212023 or 2020.2022.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.

None.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our disclosure controls and procedures include internal controls and other procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in this and other reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the required time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms; and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. It should be noted that no system of controls can provide complete assurance of achieving a company’s objectives and that future events may impact the effectiveness of a system of controls.

Our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, after conducting an evaluation, together with members of our management, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2021,2023, have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were effective as of December 31, 20212023 at a reasonable level of assurance.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate.

We assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting at December 31, 2021.2023. In making this assessment, we used criteria set forth in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on our assessment, we concluded that, at December 31, 2021,2023, our internal control over financial reporting is effective based on those criteria.

The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 20212023 has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, and in connection therewith, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP has issued an attestation report on the Company’s effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021,2023, as stated in their report in Item 8.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

W. P. Carey 2023 10-K140
