Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Report”), including Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in Item 2 of Part I of this Report, contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words “believe,” “project,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “strategy,” “plan,” “may,” “should,” “will,” “would,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” and similar expressions. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding: our corporate strategy and estimated or future economic performance and results, including our expectations surrounding the impact of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic on our business, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations, and prospects; our future capital expenditure and leverage levels, debt service obligations, and plans to fund our liquidity needs; prospective statements regarding our access to the capital markets, including our “at-the-market” program (“ATM Program”) and settlement of our forward equity offering;Equity Forwards (as defined herein); the outlook for the investment programs that we manage, including possible liquidity events for those programs; statements that we make regarding our ability to remain qualified for taxation as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”); and the impact of recently issued accounting pronouncements and regulatory activity.

These statements are based on the current expectations of our management. It is important to note that our actual results could be materially different from those projected in such forward-looking statements. There are a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from these forward-looking statements. Other unknown or unpredictable risks or uncertainties, like the risks related to the effects of pandemics and global outbreaks of contagious diseases (such as the current COVID-19 pandemic) or the fear of such outbreaks, could also have material adverse effects on our business, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations, and prospects. You should exercise caution in relying on forward-looking statements as they involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may materially affect our future results, performance, achievements, or transactions. Information on factors that could impact actual results and cause them to differ from what is anticipated in the forward-looking statements contained herein is included in this Report, as well as in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including but not limited to those described in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019,2020, as filed with the SEC on February 21, 202012, 2021 (the “2019“2020 Annual Report”). Moreover, because we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment, new risks are likely to emerge from time to time. Given these risks and uncertainties, potential investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements as a prediction of future results, which speak only as of the date of this Report, unless noted otherwise. Except as required by federal securities laws and the rules and regulations of the SEC, we do not undertake to revise or update any forward-looking statements.

All references to “Notes” throughout the document refer to the footnotes to the consolidated financial statements of the registrant in Part I, Item 1. Financial Statements (Unaudited).

W. P. CAREY INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

Note 1. Business and Organization
 
W. P. Carey Inc. (“W. P. Carey”) is a 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 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 our taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRSs”), we also earn revenue as the advisor to certain non-traded investment programs. We hold all of our real estate assets attributable to our Real Estate segment under the REIT structure, while the activities conducted by our Investment Management segment subsidiaries have been organized under TRSs.

On April 13, 2020, two of 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 began to provide certain services to WLT pursuant to a transition services agreement.agreement (which was terminated on October 13, 2021). As a result, at September 30, 2020,2021, we were the advisor to the following entities (Note 3):

Corporate Property Associates 18 – Global Incorporated (“CPA:18 – Global”), a publicly owned, non-traded REIT that primarily invests in commercial real estate properties; we refer 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
Carey European Student Housing Fund I, L.P. (“CESH”), a limited partnership formed for the purpose of developing, owning, and operating student housing properties and similar investments in Europe; we refer to the Managed REITs 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).

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 September 30, 2020,2021, our owned portfolio was comprised of our full or partial ownership interests in 1,2151,264 properties, totaling approximately 142152 million square feet, substantially all of which were net leased to 351358 tenants, with a weighted-average lease term of 10.6 years and an occupancy rate of 98.9%98.4%. In addition, at September 30, 2020,2021, our portfolio was comprised of full or partial ownership interests in 20 operating properties, including 19 self-storage properties and 1 hotel, totaling approximately 1.4 million square feet.

Investment Management — Through our TRSs, we manage portfolios ofthe real estate investmentsinvestment portfolios for the Managed Programs, for which we earn asset management revenue. We may earn incentive revenue and receive other compensation through our advisory agreements with certain of the Managed Programs, including in connection with providing a liquidity eventsevent for CPA:18 – Global’s stockholders. In addition, we include equity income generated through our (i) ownership of shares and limited partnership units of the Managed Programs (Note 7) and (ii) special general partner interest in the operating partnership of CPA:18 – Global through(through which we participate in its cash flows (Note 3)), in our Investment Management segment.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
At September 30, 2020,2021, the Managed Programs owned all or a portion of 5158 net-leased properties (including certain properties in which we also have an ownership interest), totaling approximately 10.211.3 million square feet, substantially all of which were leased to 6466 tenants, with an occupancy rate of approximately 98.9%98.8%. The Managed Programs also had interests in 7266 operating properties (totaling approximately 5.95.1 million square feet in the aggregate) and 124 active build-to-suit projects at the same date.

Note 2. Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

Our interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not necessarily include all information and footnotes necessary for a fair statement of our consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”).

In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial information for the interim periods presented in this Report reflects all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statementpresentation of financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. Our interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes for the year ended December 31, 2019,2020, which are included in the 20192020 Annual Report, as certain disclosures that would substantially duplicate those contained in the audited consolidated financial statements have not been included in this Report. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of operating results for an entire year.

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.

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. There have been no significant changes in our VIE policies from what was disclosed in the 20192020 Annual Report.

During the nine months endedAt both September 30, 2020, we had a net decrease of 5 entities considered to be consolidated VIEs, primarily related to disposition activity and certain lease amendments, partially offset by acquisition activity.

At September 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, we considered 13 and 1812 entities to be VIEs, respectively, of which we consolidated 64 and 11,5, respectively, as we are considered the primary beneficiary. The following table presents a summary of selected financial data of the consolidated VIEs included in our consolidated balance sheets (in thousands):

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
At both September 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, our 8 and 7 unconsolidated VIEs, respectively, included our interests in 6 and 5 unconsolidated real estate investments, respectively, which we account for under the equity method of accounting, and 2 unconsolidated entities,investments in equity securities, which we accounted for as investments in shares of the entities at fair value. 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. As of September 30, 2020,2021, and December 31, 2019,2020, the net carrying amount of our investments in these entities was $340.6$584.8 million and $298.3$425.3 million, respectively, and our maximum exposure to loss in these entities was limited to our investments.

COVID-19Reclassifications

The global COVID-19 pandemic has created significant uncertaintyCertain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

Asset management revenue and economic disruption, bothstructuring and other advisory revenue are now included within Asset management and other revenue in the near-term and likely longer-term. The extent to which this pandemic could affect our financial condition, liquidity, and resultsconsolidated statements of operations is difficult to predict and depends on evolving factors, including: duration, scope, government actions, and other social responses.income.

We are closely monitoringcurrently present Non-operating income on its own line item in the impact of COVID-19 on all aspects of our business, including the safety and health of our employees, our portfolio, and tenant credit health (including our tenants’ ability to pay rent), as well as our liquidity, capital allocation, and balance sheet management. We continue to actively engage in discussions with our tenants regarding the impact of COVID-19 on their business operations, liquidity, prospects, and financial position.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, approximately $5.5 million and $14.0 million, respectively, of rent was not collected as a result of COVID-19, which reduced lease revenues in our consolidated statements of income, for those periods. These amounts include $3.8 millionwhich was previously included within Other gains and $7.9 million, respectively,(losses). Non-operating income primarily consists of rent that has been contractually deferredrealized gains and losses on derivative instruments, dividends from equity securities, and interest income on our cash deposits and loans to future periods. In addition, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to the same periods in 2019, for our remaining hotel operating property, revenues decreased by $3.3 million and $8.1 million, respectively, and expenses decreased by $1.8 million and $4.3 million, respectively, due to the adverse effect of COVID-19 on the hotel’s operations.affiliates.

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 withinbetween 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).

Revenue Recognition

There have been no significant changes in our policies for revenue from contracts under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606 from what was disclosed in the 20192020 Annual Report. 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 $0.6$2.4 million and $7.4$0.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 20202021 and 2019,2020, respectively, and $5.3$4.9 million and $21.5$5.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 20202021 and 2019,2020, respectively (NoteNote 15). 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.

RecentRecently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Pronouncements Adopted as of September 30, 2020

In June 2016,March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses. ASU 2016-13 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 loans receivable and net investments in direct financing leases. This standard does not apply to receivables arising from operating leases, which are within the scope of Topic 842.

We adopted ASU 2016-13 on January 1, 2020 using the modified retrospective method, under which we recorded a cumulative-effect adjustment as a charge to retained earnings of $14.8 million, which is reflected within our consolidated statement of equity.

The allowance for credit losses, which is recorded as a reduction to Net investments in direct financing leases on our consolidated balance sheets, was measured on a pool basis by credit ratings (Note 5), 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. Allowance for credit losses is included in our consolidated statements of income within Other gains and (losses).

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. ASU 2020-04 contains practical expedients for reference rate reform-related activities that impact debt, leases, derivatives, and other contracts. The guidance in ASU 2020-04 is optional and may be elected over time as reference rate reform activities occur. DuringOn January 7, 2021, the first quarter of 2020, we elected to apply theFASB issued ASU 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope, which clarifies that certain optional expedients and exceptions in Topic 848 for contract modifications and hedge accounting expedients relatedapply to probability andderivatives that are affected by the assessments of effectiveness for futuretransition. We have evaluated our contracts that are referenced to London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) indexed cash flowsor other reference rates expected to assume thatbe discontinued and we expect to account for any necessary modifications with a replacement reference rate using the index upon which future hedged transactions will be based matchesexpedients and exceptions provided for in ASU 2020-04 and ASU 2021-01. We are evaluating the indeximpact these standards may have on the corresponding derivatives. Application of these expedients preserves the presentation of derivatives consistent with past presentation. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

CWI 1 and CWI 2 Merger

Background and Closing

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.


W. P. Carey 9/30/2020 10-Q12


Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
In connection with the CWI 1 and CWI 2 Merger, we entered into an internalization agreement and a transition services agreement, which were filed by us as exhibits to a Form 8-K filed with the SEC on October 22, 2019. 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 provide certain transition services at cost to WLT for, what is currently expected to be, a period of approximately 12 months from closing, pursuant to a transition services agreement.

Consideration Received

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 Equity in earnings (losses) of equity method investments in the Managed Programs and real estate in the consolidated statements of income for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. This net gain on sale was recorded based on:

a fair value of $46.3 million for the 1,300,000 shares of CWI 2 preferred stock that we received (Note 8);
a fair value of $11.6 million for the 2,840,549 shares in CWI 2 common stock that we received (Note 7);
a gain recognized on the redemption of the noncontrolling interest in the special general partner interests previously held by the respective subadvisors for CWI 1 and CWI 2 of $9.9 million (which is included within Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests in our consolidated statements of income and Redemption of noncontrolling interest in our consolidated statements of equity);
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 account 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. The fair value of our investment in preferred shares of WLT approximated its carrying value, which was $46.3 million as of September 30, 2020 (Note 8). We will accrue and record dividend income on these preferred shares of 5% per annum, pursuant to the internalization agreement, only recognizing such income when deemed collectible. We did not record dividend income on our investment in preferred shares of WLT during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020.

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 investments in the Managed Programs and real estate in the consolidated financial statements (as an equity method investment in real estate), had a carrying value of $48.4 million as of September 30, 2020 (Note 7).

We were required to pay 20% and 25% of such fees to the subadvisors of CWI 1 and CWI 2, respectively.

Structuring and Other Advisory Revenue
 
Under the terms of the advisory agreements with the Managed Programs, we may earn revenue for structuring and negotiating investments.

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, and (iii) we provided certain transition services at cost to WLT generally for a period of 12 months from closing. On October 13, 2021, all services provided under the transition services agreement were terminated.

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 common stock and preferred stock of WLT (which was a non-cash investing activity), as disclosed in Note 7 and Note 8, respectively. In connection with this redemption, we recognized a non-cash net gain on sale of $33.0 million, which was included within Earnings (losses) from equity method investments in the consolidated statements of income for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. This net gain on sale included a gain recognized on the redemption of the noncontrolling interest in the special general partner interests previously held by the respective subadvisors for CWI 1 and CWI 2 of $9.9 million (which is included within Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests in our consolidated statements of income and Redemption of noncontrolling interest in our consolidated statements of equity).

Loans to Affiliates

From time to time, our board of directors (“the 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.

In addition, the loan agreements with CWI 1 and CWI 2 were terminated upon completion of the CWI 1 and CWI 2 Merger on April 13, 2020. In July 2020, we provided CPA:18 – Global with a short-term unsecured revolving line of credit (with a maximum authorized loan amount of $25.0 million), which had not been drawn upon as of September 30, 2020.

CPA:17 Merger

On October 31, 2018, Corporate Property Associates 17 – Global Incorporated (“CPA:17 – Global”), a former affiliate, merged 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 adjustments during the third quarter of 2019 that impacted the provisional accounting. As a result, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 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.2021.

During the nine months ended September 30, 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 2019, respectively.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 the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and removed the corresponding liability from Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets.

We did not recognize income from our loans receivable during the three months ended September 30, 2020, since such income was deemed uncollectible as a result of the COVID-19 (Note 2).pandemic.
 
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. At both September 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, other than uncollected income from our loans receivable (as noted above), no material balances of our finance receivables were past due. Other than the lease modifications noted under Net Investments in Direct Financing Leases above, there were no material modifications of finance receivables during the nine months ended September 30, 2020.2021.

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.

Note 7. Equity Method Investments in the Managed Programs and Real Estate
 
We own interests in (i) the Managed Programs, (ii) certain unconsolidated real estate investments with CPA:18 – Global and third parties, and (iii) WLT. 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. DistributionsIn 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.
 
The following table presents Equity in earnings (losses) of equity method investments in the Managed Programs and real estate, which represents our proportionate share of the income or losses of these investments, as well as certain adjustments related to other-than-temporary impairment charges and amortization of basis differences related to purchase accounting adjustments (in thousands):

This decrease was primarily due to the other-than-temporary impairment charge that we recognized on an equity method investment in real estate during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, as described above and in Note 8.

Las Vegas Retail Complex

On June 10, 2021, we entered into an agreement to fund a construction loan of approximately $224.3 million for a retail complex in Las Vegas, Nevada, at an interest rate of 6.0% and term of 36 months. Through September 30, 2021, we funded $93.5 million, with the remaining amount expected to be funded over the 15 to 22 months following closing. We hold a purchase option for 2 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.

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 (as 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. Interest income from this investment was $1.4 million and $1.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, which was recognized within Earnings (losses) from equity method investments in our consolidated statements of income.

Note 8. 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.


W. P. Carey 9/30/2020 10-Q24


Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
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 9).

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.

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.

Equity Method Investment in CESH We have elected to account for our investment in CESH, which is included in Equity method investments in the Managed Programs and real estate in the consolidated financial statements, at fair value by selecting the equity method fair value option available under GAAP (Note 7). 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 a Cold Storage OperatorLineage 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 aLineage Logistics (a cold storage operator,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 three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, weWe recognized non-cash unrealized gains on our investment in shares of a cold storage operatorLineage Logistics totaling $52.9 million and $76.3 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, and $48.8 million during both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, due to additional outside investmentsa secondary market transaction at a higher price per share, which waswere recorded within Other gains and (losses) in the consolidated financial statements. In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we received a cash dividend of $6.4 million from our investment in shares of Lineage Logistics, which was recorded within Non-operating income in the consolidated financial statements. See Note 13 for further discussion of the impact of this cold storage operator’sLineage Logistics’s conversion to a REIT during the first quarter of 2020. The fair value of this investment approximated its carrying value, which was $195.0$366.3 million and $146.2$290.0 million at September 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, respectively. In October 2020, we purchased additional shares of this cold storage operator for $95.5 million (Note 16).

Investment in Shares of GCIF We account for our investment in shares of Guggenheim Credit Income Fund (“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 nine months ended September 30, 2020,2021, we redeemed a portion of our investment in shares of GCIF for approximately $3.7$0.8 million and recognized a net loss of $0.4$0.1 million, which was included within Other gains and (losses) in the consolidated statements of income. DistributionsDuring the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we received liquidating distributions from our investment in shares of earningsGCIF totaling $1.4 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). In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, we received distributions from our investment in shares of GCIF totaling less than $0.1 million and unrealized gains or losses recognized on GCIF are$0.5 million, respectively, which were recorded within Other gains and (losses)Non-operating income in the consolidated financial statements. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020,2021, we recognized unrealized lossesgains on our investment in shares of GCIF totaling $0.3$0.6 million, due to a decreasewhich was recognized within Other gains and (losses) in the net asset value of the investment.consolidated financial statements. The fair value of our investment in shares of GCIF approximated its carrying value, which was $7.7$4.4 million and $12.2$6.1 million at September 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, 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 September 30, 2021. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, we received cash dividends of $0.8 million and $4.1 million, respectively, from our investment in preferred shares of WLT, which was recorded within Non-operating income in the consolidated financial statements. The fair value of our investment in preferred shares of WLT approximated its carrying value, which was $46.3 million as of both September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we recognized other-than-temporaryThe impairment charges of $27.8 million and $19.3 million on our equity investments in CWI 1 and CWI 2, respectively, to reduce the carrying values of our investments to their estimated fair values, due to the ongoing 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.

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 Intangiblesestimated capital expenditures ($100 per square foot).

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we recognized impairment charges totaling $16.0 million on 2 properties leased to the same tenant in order to reduce the carrying values of the properties to their estimated fair values, due to potential property vacancies. The fair value measurements for the properties were determined byusing a direct capitalization rate analysis.analysis based on the probability of vacancy versus the tenant continuing in the lease; the capitalization rate for the various scenarios ranged from 6.25% to 11.00%.

In addition, we recognized an impairment charge of $3.4 million on a property in order to reduce the carrying value of the property to its estimated fair value. The fair value measurement for this property approximated its estimated selling price; it was sold in September 2020.

Note 9. 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 and Senior Unsecured Notes (Note 10). 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, as well as changes in the value of ourSenior Unsecured Notes, 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.

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, non-recourse mortgage loans 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 September 30, 20202021 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 Danish krone, 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 62 months or less.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
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 September 30, 2020,2021, 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 $14.4$3.0 million and $9.6$25.1 million at September 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, respectively, which included accrued interest and any nonperformance risk adjustments. If we had breached any of these provisions at September 30, 20202021 or December 31, 2019,2020, we could have been required to settle our obligations under these agreements at their aggregate termination value of $14.8$3.0 million and $9.9$25.6 million, respectively.

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 (loss) income (loss) as part of the cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment.

(a)The grant date fair value of RSAs and RSUs reflect our stock price on the date of grant on a one-for-one1-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. To estimate the fair value of PSUs granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2020,2021, we used a risk-free interest rate of 1.6%0.2%, an expected volatility rate of 15.2%36.7%, and assumed a dividend yield of 0.zero.
(b)The grant date fair value of shares vested during the nine months ended September 30, 20202021 was $23.7$21.4 million. 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 September 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, we had an obligation to issue 986,8591,104,020 and 893,713986,859 shares, respectively, of our common stock underlying such deferred awards, which is recorded within Total stockholders’ equity as a Deferred compensation obligation of $42.0$49.8 million and $37.3$42.0 million, respectively.
(c)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 0zero to 3 times the original awards. As a result, we recorded adjustments at September 30, 20202021 to reflect the number of shares expected to be issued when the PSUs vest.
(d)At September 30, 2020,2021, total unrecognized compensation expense related to these awards was approximately $23.2$30.9 million, with an aggregate weighted-average remaining term of 1.81.9 years.

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. During the prior year period, certain of our nonvested RSUs contained rights to receive non-forfeitable dividend equivalents or dividends, respectively, and therefore we apply the two-class method of computing earnings per share. 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 (in thousands, except share amounts)(dollars in thousands):

At the closing of these transactions, the offered shares of common stock at an initial forward sale price of $68.35 per share. The underwriters were granted a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 712,500 shares of common stock at the initial forward sale price, which they fully exercised on June 18, 2020. Therefore, at closing on June 22, 2020, the forward purchasers borrowed from third parties by the banks acting as forward purchasers and sold to the underwriters an aggregate of 5,462,500 shares of common stock, whichfor distribution at the underwriters sold at arespective gross offering price of $70.00 per share, for gross proceeds of approximately $382.4 million.prices. As a result of this forward construct, we did not receive any proceeds from the sale of such shares at closing.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, we settled a portionclosing of the equity forwards by physically delivering 1,488,291 and 2,951,791 shares, respectively, of common stock to certain forward purchasers for net proceeds of $99.8 million and $199.7 million, respectively, which were primarily used to partially pay down amounts outstanding under our Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility and for general corporate purposes. As of September 30, 2020, 2,510,709 shares remained outstanding under the forward sale agreements.each offering, but rather at later settlement dates. We expect to settle the forward sale agreements in full within 18 months of the offering date via physical delivery of the outstanding shares of common stock in exchange for cash proceeds, although we may elect cash settlement or net share settlement for all or a portion of our obligations under the forward sale agreements, subject to certain conditions. The forward sale price that we will receive upon physical settlement of the agreements will be (i) subject to adjustment on a daily basis based on a floating interest rate factor equal to a specified daily rate less a spread (i.e., if the specified daily rate is less than the spread on any day, the interest rate factor will result in a daily reduction of the applicable forward sale price) and (ii) decreased based on amounts related to expected dividends on shares of our common stock during the term of the forward sale agreements.

Wehave 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.

We refer to our three forward equity offerings presented below as the June 2020 Equity Forwards, June 2021 Equity Forwards, and August 2021 Equity Forwards (collectively, the “Equity Forwards”) (gross offering proceeds at closing in thousands):

Dividends Declared

During the third quarter of 2020,2021, our Board declared a quarterly dividend of $1.044$1.052 per share, which was paid on October 15, 20202021 to stockholders of record as of September 30, 2020.2021.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020,2021, we declared dividends totaling $3.126$3.150 per share.

Note 13. Income Taxes

We elected to be treated as a REIT and believe that we have been organized and have operated in such a manner to maintain our qualification as a REIT for federal and state income tax purposes. As a REIT, we are generally not subject to corporate level federal income taxes on earnings distributed to our stockholders. Since inception, we have distributed at least 100% of our taxable income annually and intend to do so for the tax year ending December 31, 2020.annually. Accordingly, we have not included any provisions for federal income taxes related to the REIT in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 20202021 and 2019.

In light of the COVID-19 outbreak during the first quarter of 2020, we are monitoring domestic and international tax considerations and the potential impact on our consolidated financial statements. The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) (U.S. federal legislation enacted on March 27, 2020 in response to COVID-19) provides that net operating losses incurred in 2018, 2019, or 2020 may be carried back to offset taxable income earned during the five-year period prior to the year in which the net operating loss was incurred. As a result, we recognized a $4.7 million current tax

benefit during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 by carrying back certain net operating losses, which is included within current tax benefit described below.2020.

Certain of our subsidiaries have elected TRS status. A TRS may provide certain services considered impermissible for REITs and may hold assets that REITs may not hold directly. 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. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include an interim tax provision for our TRSs and foreign subsidiaries, as necessary, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 20202021 and 2019.2020. Current income tax expense was $8.9$9.0 million and $5.2$8.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 20202021 and 2019,2020, respectively, and $19.3$26.5 million and $8.3$19.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. As a result of the U.S. federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and 2019, respectively. Provision for income taxes forEconomic Security Act (“CARES Act”), which was enacted on March 27, 2020 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we recognized a $4.7 million current tax benefit during the nine months ended September 30, 20192020 by carrying back certain net operating losses, which is included awithin current tax benefit of approximately $6.3 million due to a change in tax position for state and local taxes.expense described above.

Our TRSs and foreign subsidiaries are subject to U.S. federal, state, and foreign income taxes. As such,There have been no significant changes in our deferred tax assets and liabilities are established for temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of assets and liabilities at the enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences reverse. A valuation allowance for deferred tax assets is provided if we believe that it is more likely than not that we will not realize the tax benefit of deferred tax assets based on available evidence at the time the determination is made. A change in circumstances may cause us to change our judgment about whether the tax benefit of a deferred tax asset will more likely than not be realized. We generally report any changepolicies from what was disclosed in the valuation allowance through our income statement in the period in which such changes in circumstances occur. The majority of our deferred tax assets relate to the timing difference between the financial reporting basis and tax basis for stock-based compensation expense. The majority of our deferred tax liabilities relate to differences between the tax basis and financial reporting basis of the assets acquired in acquisitions in which the tax basis of such assets was not stepped up to fair value for income tax purposes.2020 Annual Report. Deferred income tax benefit was $2.9$0.7 million and $1.0$2.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 20202021 and 2019,2020, respectively, and $47.4$3.0 million and $3.2$47.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 20202021 and 2019,2020, respectively. Benefit from income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 included a deferred tax benefit of $37.2 million as a result of the release of a deferred tax liability relating to our investment in shares of a cold storage operatorLineage Logistics (Note 8), which converted to a REIT during the current year period and is therefore no longer subject to federal and state income taxes, as well as a deferred tax benefit of $6.5 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 (Note 8).

Note 14. 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 make a decisiondecide 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. When it is appropriate to do so, we classify the property as an asset held for sale on our consolidated balance sheet. All property dispositions are recorded within our Real Estate segment.

20202021 During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, we sold 5 and 17 properties, respectively, for total proceeds, net of selling costs, of $28.3 million and $126.7 million, respectively, and recognized a net gain on these sales totaling $1.7 million and $30.9 million, respectively (inclusive of income taxes totaling $3.8 million recognized upon sale during the nine months ended September 30, 2021).

2020 During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, we sold 4 and 8 properties, respectively, for total proceeds, net of selling costs, of $62.9 million and $168.0 million (inclusive of $4.7 million attributable to a noncontrolling interest), respectively, and recognized a net gain on these sales totaling $20.9 million and $32.7 million (inclusive of $0.6 million attributable to a noncontrolling interest), respectively (inclusive of income taxes totaling $3.1 million and $3.0 million, respectively, recognized upon sale). 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), which was held for sale as of December 31, 2019 (Note 4).

2019 — During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, we sold 4 and 9 properties, respectively, for total proceeds, net of selling costs, of $13.9 million and $26.5 million, respectively, and recognized a net gain on these sales totaling $0.1 million and $0.7 million, respectively (inclusive of income taxes totaling $0.2 million for both periods recognized upon sale).

In addition, 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.

W. P. Carey 9/30/2021 10-Q40


Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
(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 withinbetween the segments had no impact on our consolidated financial statements.
(c)Following the WLT management internalization and redemption of the special general partner interests in CWI 1 and CWI 2 on April 13, 2020, we no longer own equity investments in those funds, which were previously included within our Investment Management segment (Note 2, Note 3, Note 7). Our investment in shares of common stock of WLT is included within our Real Estate segment (as an equity method investment in real estate) (Note 7). In addition, we allocated $34.3 million of goodwill within our Investment Management segment during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, since the WLT management internalization resulted in a sale of a portion of our Investment Management business (Note 3, Note 6).

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
 
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is intended to assist in understanding our financial statements and the reasons for changes in certain key components of our financial statements from period to period. This item also provides our perspective on our financial position and liquidity, as well as certain other factors that may affect our future results. The discussion also breaks down the financial results of our business by segment to provide a better understanding of how these segments and their results affect our financial condition and results of operations. Our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with the 20192020 Annual Report and subsequent reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Business Overview
As described in more detail in1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Refer to Item 1 of the 20192020 Annual Report we arefor a diversified net lease REIT with a portfoliodescription of operationally-critical, commercial real estate that includes 1,215 net lease properties covering approximately 142 million square feet and 20 operating properties as of September 30, 2020. We invest in high-quality single tenant industrial, warehouse, office, retail, and self-storage properties subject to long-term net leases with built-in rent escalators. Our portfolio is located primarily in the United States and Northern and Western Europe, and we believe it is well-diversified by tenant, property type, geographic location, and tenant industry.

We also earn fees and other income by managing the portfolios of the Managed Programs through our investment management business. 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 1, Note 3).

Significant Developments

Issuance of Senior Unsecured Notes

On October 14, 2020,15, 2021, we completed an underwritten public offering of $500.0$350.0 million of 2.400%2.450% Senior Notes due 2031,2032, at a price of 99.099%99.048% of par value.value, in our inaugural green bond offering. These 2.400%2.450% Senior Notes due 20312032 have a 10.3-year term and are scheduled to mature on February 1, 2031.2032. We intend to usefully allocate an amount equal to the net proceeds from this offering to recently completed or future eligible green projects in the issuance of these 2.400% Senior Notes due 2031categories outlined in our green financing framework, which is designed to repay certain indebtedness, including amounts outstanding under our Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility (which was used in part to repay secured mortgage debt outstanding), to fund potential future acquisitions, and for general corporate purposesalign with the International Capital Markets Association Green Bond Principles 2021 (Note 16).

Board of Directors Change

On September 18, 2020, we announced that Ms. Tonit M. Calaway, age 52, was appointed to our Board. Please see our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on September 18, 2020 for additional information.

COVID-19

We are closely monitoring the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on all aspects of our business, including the safety and health of our employees, our portfolio, and tenant credit health (including our tenants’ ability to pay rent), as well as our liquidity, capital allocation, and balance sheet management.

One of our core principles is our proactive approach to asset management. As such, we continue to actively engage in discussions with our tenants regarding the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on their business operations, liquidity, and financial position. Through the date of this Report, we received from tenants approximately 98%over 99.5% of contractual base rent that was due during the third quarter of 20202021 (based on contractual minimum annualized base rent (“ABR”) as of June 30, 2020) and approximately 99% of contractual base rent that was due in October (based on ABR as of September 30, 2020)2021).

Given the significantongoing uncertainty around the duration and severity of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, we are unable to predict the impact it will have on our tenants’ continued ability to pay rent. Therefore, information provided in this Report regarding recent rent collections should not serve as an indication of expected future rent collections.

Please see Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors in this Report for information about the global COVID-19 pandemic.


W. P. Carey 9/30/2020 10-Q44



As of September 30, 2020, we had $152.2 million of cash and cash equivalents, approximately $1.6 billion of available capacity under our Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility (net of amounts reserved for standby letters of credit totaling $20.1 million), and available proceeds under our forward sale agreements of approximately $166.1 million (based on 2,510,709 remaining shares outstanding and a net offering price of $66.14 as of that date). Our Senior Unsecured Credit Facility, which we amended and restated on February 20, 2020, includes a $1.8 billion Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility and Unsecured Term Loans outstanding totaling $304.2 million as of September 30, 2020 (Note 10), and is scheduled to mature on February 20, 2025. As of September 30, 2020, scheduled debt principal payments total $28.7 million through December 31, 2020 and $172.8 million through December 31, 2021, and our Senior Unsecured Notes do not start to mature until January 2023 (Note 10).

The potential impact of COVID-19 on our tenants and properties could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations, and prospects.

These 0.950% Senior Notes due 2030 have a 9.2-year term and are scheduled to mature on June 1, 2030.

Investment Management

CWI 1 and CWI 2 Merger

On April 13, 2020, the CWI 1 and CWI 2 Merger closed (Note 3).

In connection with the termination of our advisory agreements with CWI 1 and CWI 2, 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 fair value of $46.3 million and 2,840,549 shares in CWI 2 Class A common stock with a fair value of $11.6 million; in connection with this redemption, we recognized a non-cash net gain on sale of $33.0 million, which was included within Equity in earnings (losses) of equity method investments in the Managed Programs and real estate in the consolidated statements of income for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The carrying value of our investment in WLT preferred stock (formerly CWI 2 preferred stock) was $46.3 million as of September 30, 2020, and is included within Other assets, net on our consolidated balance sheets as available-for-sale debt securities (Note 8).
We exchanged our 6,074,046 shares of CWI 1 common stock for 5,531,025 shares of CWI 2 Class A common stock, based on the exchange ratio set forth in the merger agreement. In addition, 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. Together with the 2,840,549 shares in CWI 2 Class A common stock received (as described above), following the closing of the CWI 1 and CWI 2 Merger (and CWI 2 being renamed WLT), we own 12,208,243 shares of WLT Class A common stock, which we account for as an equity method investment and which had a carrying value of $48.4 million as of September 30, 2020 (Note 7). The aggregate carrying value of our investments in preferred shares and shares of common stock of WLT totaled approximately $94.7 million as of September 30, 2020.

Assets Under Management

As of September 30, 2020,2021, we managed total assets of approximately $2.8$2.7 billion on behalf of CPA:18 – Global and CESH. We expect that the vast majority of our Investment Management earnings going forward will continue to be generated from asset management fees and our ownership interests in CPA:18 – Global and CESH.


W. P. Carey 9/30/2020 10-Q46



Dividends to Stockholders

We declared cash dividends totaling $3.126$3.150 per share during the nine months ended September 30, 2020,2021, comprised of three quarterly dividends per share of $1.040, $1.042,$1.048, $1.050, and $1.044.$1.052 (Note 12).

Pro Rata Metrics — The portfolio information above contains certain metrics prepared under theon a pro rata consolidation method.basis. We refer to these metrics as pro rata metrics. We have a number of investments, usually with our affiliates, in which our economic ownership is less than 100%. Under theOn a full consolidation method,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. Under theOn a pro rata consolidation method,basis, we 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 September 30, 2020.2021. 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.

Results of Operations
 
We operate in two reportable segments: Real Estate and Investment Management. We evaluate our results of operations with a primary focus on increasing and enhancing the value, quality, and number of properties in our Real Estate segment. We focus our efforts on accretive investing and improving portfolio quality through re-leasing efforts, including negotiation of lease renewals, or selectively selling assets in order to increase value in our real estate portfolio. Through our Investment Management segment, we expect to continue to earn fees and other income from the management of the portfolios of the remaining Managed Programs until those programs reach the end of their respective life cycles.

Property level contribution is a non-GAAP measure that we believe to be a useful supplemental measure for management and investors in evaluating and analyzing the financial results of our net-leased and operating properties included inThe following table presents revenues within our Real Estate segment over time. Property level contribution presents our lease and operating property revenues, less property expenses, reimbursable tenant costs, and depreciation and amortization. We believe that Property level contribution allows for meaningful comparison between periods of the direct costs of owning and operating our net-leased assets and operating properties. While we believe that Property level contribution is a useful supplemental measure, it should not be considered as an alternative to Net income from Real Estate attributable to W. P.

Existing Net-Leased PropertiesLease Revenues

Existing net-leased propertiesproperties” are those that we acquired or placed into service prior to January 1, 20192020 and that were not sold or held for sale during the periods presented. For the periods presented, there were 1,1261,138 existing net-leased properties, which includes 27 self-storage properties that were reclassified from operating properties to net-leased properties during the year ended December 31, 2019 as a result of entering into net-lease agreements during the second quarter of 2019. properties.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 20202021 as compared to the same periods in 2019, for these 27 properties,2020, lease revenues increased by $0.6 million and $10.2 million, respectively, depreciation and amortization decreased by $5.4 million (due to the in-place lease intangible assets recorded on certain of these 27 properties becoming fully amortized during 2020) and increased by $4.2 million, respectively, and property expenses decreased by less than $0.1 million and increased by $0.4 million, respectively, within Existing Net-Leased Properties.

In addition to the increases in lease revenues due to the reclassification of 27 self-storage properties from operating properties to net-leased properties, described above, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to the same periods in 2019, lease revenues from existing net-leased properties increased by $1.9 million and $7.3 million, respectively, related to scheduled rent increases and by $1.5 million and $4.2 million, respectively, due to new leases. Additionally, for the three months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to the same period in 2019, lease revenues from existing net-leased properties increased by $4.6 million as a result of the strengthening of foreign currencies (primarily the euro) in relation to the U.S. dollar between the periods. These increases were partially offset by decreases of $5.4 million and $13.8 million, respectively, due to rents not collected as a result of COVID-19 (including reimbursable tenant costs).

For the three months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to the same period in 2019, depreciation and amortization expense from existing net-leased properties decreased due to decline from the 27 self-storage properties described above, partially offset by the impact of the strengthening of foreign currencies (primarily the euro) in relation to the U.S. dollar between the periods. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to the same period in 2019, depreciation and amortization expense from existing net-leased properties increased due to the impactfollowing items (in millions):

Property expenses from existing net-leased properties increased primarily due to tenant vacancies during 2019 and 2020 (which resulted in property expenses no longer being reimbursable), and certain reimbursable expenses being deemed not collectible as a result of COVID-19.

Recently Acquired Net-Leased Properties

Recently acquired net-leased propertiesproperties” are those that we acquired or placed into service subsequent to December 31, 20182019 and that were not sold or held for sale during the periods presented. Since January 1, 2019,2020, we acquired 3033 investments comprised(comprised of 5287 properties and six land parcels under buildings that we already own) and placed threetwo properties into service.

Existing “Net-leased properties sold or held for sale” include (i) 17 net-leased properties disposed of during the nine months ended September 30, 2021; (ii) three net-leased properties classified as held for sale at September 30, 2021 (Note 4); and (iii) 21 net-leased properties disposed of during the year ended December 31, 2020.

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 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 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 withinbetween the segments had no impact on our consolidated financial statements.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 20202021 as compared to the same periodsperiod in 2019,2020, general and administrative expenses allocated to our Real Estate segment increased by $5.4$10.5 million, and $7.6 million, respectively, primarily due to (i) lower overhead reimbursements from WLT following the termination of most services provided under the transition services agreement (Note 3), (ii) higher incentive compensation expense, and (iii) the change in methodology for allocation of expenses between our Real Estate and Investment Management segments discussed above.

Impairment Charges

Our impairment charges are more fully described in Note 8.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to the same periods in 2020, property expenses, excluding reimbursable tenant costs, increased by $1.8 million and $2.8 million, respectively, primarily due to tenant vacancies during 2020 and 2021 (which resulted in property expenses no longer being reimbursable) and higher property tax assessments at certain properties.

Stock-based Compensation Expense

Beginning with the second quarter of 2020, stock-based compensation expense is 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 believe that this allocation methodology is appropriate, as described above (Note 2). This change withinbetween the segments had no impact on our consolidated financial statements.

For the threenine months ended September 30, 20202021 as compared to the same period in 2019,2020, stock-based compensation expense allocated to our Real Estate segment increased by $1.1$9.3 million, primarily due to the changechanges in methodologyprojected payout for allocation of expenses between our Real Estate and Investment Management segments discussed above.PSUs.

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) CPA:18 – Global 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. For 2020, (i) we received asset management fees from CPA:18 – Global 50% in cash and 50% in shares of its common stock through March 31, 2020; effective as of April 1, 2020,2021, we receive asset management fees from (i) CPA:18 – Global in shares of its common stock, (ii) we primarily received asset management fees from the CWI REITs in shares of their common stock through April 13, 2020 (the date of the CWI 1 and CWI 2 Merger), and (iii) we receive asset management fees from(ii) CESH in cash.

Structuring and Other Advisory Revenue

We earn structuring 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 is expected to be insignificant going forward.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, structuring and other advisory revenue was primarily comprised of $0.3 million for structuring a mortgage refinancing on behalf of CWI 2 and $0.2 million related to increases in build-to-suit funding commitments for certain CPA:18 – Global investments. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, structuring and other advisory revenue was primarily comprised of $2.3 million for structuring an investment in a new student housing development project on behalf of CPA:18

Operating Expenses

General and Administrative, Stock-based Compensation Expense, and Depreciation and Amortization

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 withinbetween the segments had no impact on our consolidated financial statements.

As discussed in Note 3, certain personnel costs and overhead costs are charged to the remaining Managed Programs and reimbursed to us in accordance with their respective advisory agreements. In addition, following the closing of the CWI 1 and CWI 2 Merger on April 13, 2020, we began recording reimbursements from WLT within our Investment Management segment pursuant to a transition services agreement. As of the date of this Report, all services provided under the transition services agreement have terminated, except for certain information systems and data services.

Subadvisor Fees

Pursuant to the terms of the subadvisory agreements we had with the third-party subadvisors in connection with both CWI 1 and CWI 2, we paid a subadvisory fee equal to 20% of the amount of fees paid to us by CWI 1 and 25% of the amount of fees paid to us by CWI 2, including but not limited to: acquisition fees, asset management fees, loan refinancing fees, property management fees, and subordinated disposition fees, each as defined in the advisory agreements we had with each of CWI 1 and CWI 2. We also paid to each subadvisor 20% and 25% of the net proceeds resulting from any sale, financing, or recapitalization or sale of securities of CWI 1 and CWI 2, respectively, by us, the advisor. Upon completion of the CWI 1 and CWI 2 Merger on April 13, 2020 (Note 3), the subadvisory agreements were terminated, and we no longer pay subadvisory fees.

(b)(c)During the nine months ended September 30, 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 ongoingadverse effect of the COVID-19 pandemic which had an adverse effect on the operations of CWI 1 and CWI 2 (Note 8).
(c)(d)Immediately following the closing of the CWI 1 and CWI 2 Merger, in connection with the redemption of the special general partner interests that we previously held in CWI 1 and CWI 2, we recognized a non-cash net gain on sale of $33.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 which reflects the allocation of $34.3 million of goodwill within our Investment Management segment, since the WLT management internalization resulted in a sale of a portion of our Investment Management business (Note 3, Note 6).

Distributions of Available Cash received and earned from the Managed REITs fluctuate based on the timing of certain events, including acquisitions and dispositions.
(e)We did not receive distributions of Available Cash from CWI 1 and CWI 2 during 2020 (through April 13, 2020, the date of the CWI 1 and CWI 2 Merger), as a result of the adverse effect of COVID-19 on the operations of CWI 1 and CWI 2.

(Provision for) Benefit from Income Taxes

For the ninethree months ended September 30, 20202021 as compared to the same period in 2019, benefit from2020, provision for income taxes within our Investment Management segment decreased by $3.5 million.$1.8 million, primarily due to current tax expense of $1.3 million recognized during the prior year period as a result of a change in tax position for federal taxes.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we recognized a provision for income taxes of less than $0.1 million, compared to a benefit from income taxes of $4.1 million recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, within our Investment Management segment. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we recognized (i) a deferred tax benefit of $6.5 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, (Note 8), (ii) a current tax benefit of $4.7 million as a result of carrying back certain net operating losses in accordance with the CARES Act that was enacted on March 27, 2020, (Note 13), (iii) deferred tax expense of $6.1 million due to the establishment of a valuation allowance since we do not expect our Investment Management segment to realize its deferred tax assets, and (iv) one-time current taxes of $2.6 million incurred during the current year period upon the recognition of taxable income associated with the accelerated vesting of shares

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Sources and Uses of Cash During the Period
 
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 and 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 the asset management fees in either shares of the common stock of the Managed ProgramsCPA:18 – Global or cash; the timing of distributions from equity investments in the Managed Programsmethod investments; and real estate; the receipt of distributions of Available Cash from CPA:18 – Global; the timing of settlement of foreign currency transactions; and changes in foreign currency exchange rates.Global. 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 dispositions of properties, and the issuance of additional debt or equity securities, such as issuances of common stock through our forward sale agreements and ATM Program (Note 12), in order to meet these needs. We assess our ability to access capital on an ongoing basis. Our sources and uses of cash during the period are described below.

(b)The impact of our derivative instruments is reflected in the weighted-average interest rates.

Cash Resources
 
At September 30, 2020,2021, our cash resources consisted of the following:
 
cash and cash equivalents totaling $152.2$129.7 million. Of this amount, $80.1$67.2 million, at then-current exchange rates, was held in foreign subsidiaries, and we could be subject to restrictions or significant costs should we decide to repatriate these amounts;
our Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility, with available capacity of approximately $1.6$1.5 billion (net of amounts reserved for standby letters of credit totaling $20.1$18.8 million);
available proceeds under our forward sale agreements of approximately $166.1$538.9 million (based on 2,510,7097,187,500 remaining shares outstanding and a weighted-average net offering price of $66.14$74.97 per share as of September 30, 2020)2021); and
unleveraged properties that had an aggregate asset carrying value of $9.5approximately $11.6 billion at September 30, 2020,2021, although there can be no assurance that we would be able to obtain financing for these properties.

Historically, we have also accessed the capital markets through additional debt and equity offerings, such as the issuance of Senior Unsecured Notes (denominated in both U.S. dollars and euros), and equity offerings, including the $500.0$350.0 million of 2.400%2.450% Senior Notes due 2031 that we2032 issued in October 20202021 that was our inaugural green bond offering (NoteNote 16), and the shares of common stock issued under our equity forward offering and ATM Programs.. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020,2021, we issued 1,488,291(i) €525.0 million of 0.950% Senior Notes due 2030 and 2,951,791$425.0 million of 2.250% Senior Notes due 2033 (Note 10), (ii) 6,535,709 shares

respectively, of common stock under our forward sale agreementsEquity Forwards for aggregate net proceeds of $457.2 million, and (iii) 4,225,624 shares of common stock under our ATM Program for net proceeds of $99.8$302.5 million and $199.7 million, respectively.(Note 12). As of September 30, 2020, $616.62021, we had approximately $538.9 million of available proceeds under our forward sales agreements and $310.1 million remained available for issuance under our current ATM Program (Note 12).

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 September 30, 2020,2021, we had $152.2$129.7 million of cash and cash equivalents, approximately $1.6$1.5 billion of available capacity under our Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility (net of amounts reserved for standby letters of credit totaling $20.1$18.8 million), and available proceeds under our forward sale agreements of approximately $166.1$538.9 million (based on 2,510,7097,187,500 remaining shares outstanding and a weighted-average net offering price of $66.14$74.97 per share as of that date). Our Senior Unsecured Credit Facility which we amended and restated on February 20, 2020, includes a $1.8 billion Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility and Unsecured Term Loans outstanding totaling $304.2$312.6 million as of September 30, 20202021 (Note 10), and is scheduled to mature on February 20, 2025. As of September 30, 2020,2021, scheduled debt principal payments total $28.7$5.7 million through December 31, 20202021 and $172.8$317.5 million through December 31, 2021,2022, and our Senior Unsecured Notes do not start to mature until January 2023April 2024 (Note 10).

During the next 12 months following the date of this Report,September 30, 2021 and thereafter, we expect that our significant cash requirements will include funding capital commitments such as construction projects; include:

paying dividends to our stockholders; making scheduled interest payments on the Senior Unsecured Notes (including the $500.0 million of 2.400% Senior Notes due 2031 that we issued in October 2020 (
Note 16)) andmaking scheduled principal and balloon payments on our mortgage loan obligations;debt obligations (Note 10);
making scheduled interest payments on our debt obligations (future interest payments total $857.5 million, with $175.4 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 September 30, 2021);
funding future capital commitments and tenant improvement allowances (Note 4); 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), issuances of common stock through our forward sale agreements and/or ATM Program (Note 12), and potential issuances of additional debt or equity securities. We may also choose to pursue the acquisitions of new investments and prepayments of

certain of our non-recourse mortgage loan obligations, depending on our capital needs and improvements in current market conditions.conditions at that time.

Our liquidity could be adversely affected by unanticipated costs, greater-than-anticipated operating expenses, and the adverse impact of COVID-19.the continuing COVID-19 pandemic. 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, (as described above), mortgage loan proceeds, and the issuance of additional debt or equity securities (as described above) 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.

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 sales of property, impairment charges on real estate, gains or losses on changes in control of interests in real estate, and depreciation and amortization from real estate assets; and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and jointly owned investments. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and jointly owned investments are calculated to reflect FFO.

We also modify the NAREIT computation of FFO to adjust GAAP net income for certain non-cash charges, such as amortization of real estate-related intangibles, deferred income tax benefits and expenses, straight-line rent and related reserves, other non-cash rent adjustments, non-cash allowance for credit losses on loans receivable and direct financing leases, and other assets, stock-based compensation, non-cash environmental accretion expense, amortization of discounts and premiums on debt, and amortization of deferred financing costs. Our assessment of our operations is focused on long-term sustainability and not on such non-cash items, which may cause short-term fluctuations in net income but have no impact on cash flows. Additionally, we exclude non-core income and expenses, such as gains or losses from extinguishment of debt and merger and acquisition expenses. We also exclude realized and unrealized gains/losses on foreign currency exchange transactions (other than those realized on the settlement of foreign currency derivatives), which are not considered fundamental attributes of our business plan and do not affect our overall long-term operating performance. We refer to our modified definition of FFO as AFFO. We exclude these items from GAAP net income to arrive at AFFO as they are not the primary drivers in our decision-making process and excluding these items provides investors a view of our portfolio performance over time and makes it more comparable to other REITs 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.


W. P. Carey 9/30/20202021 10-Q 6763




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.

Carey — Real Estate (after April 13, 2020) in place of our pro rata share of net income from our ownership of shares of CWI 1, CWI 2, and WLT, as applicable. We did not receive any such distributions during the second or third quarter of 2020, due to the adverse effect of COVID-19.

While we believe that FFO and AFFO are important supplemental measures, they should not be considered as alternatives to net income as an indication of a company’s operating performance. These non-GAAP measures should be used in conjunction with net income as defined by GAAP.

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 generally 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.

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic both in the UnitesUnited States and globally continues to cause uncertainty and volatility in financial markets, including interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. The outbreak is expected to have a continued adverse impact on market conditions for the foreseeable future and has triggered a period of global economic slowdown with no known duration. At September 30, 2020,2021, our net-lease portfolio (which excludes operating properties) had the following concentrations (as a percentage of our ABR) for property types with heightened risk as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic:

17.4%17.2% related to retail facilities (primarily from do-it-yourself, grocery, convenience, and wholesale stores);
1.7% related to hotel (net lease) properties; and
1.5% related to fitness facilities, theaters, and restaurants.

There may be an impact across all industries and geographic regions in which our tenants operate as a result of COVID-19.the COVID-19 pandemic. Given the significant uncertainty around the duration and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic, we are unable to predict the impact it will have on our tenants’ continued ability to pay rent.

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 COVID-19)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. 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 time to time, we or our joint investment partners obtained, and may in the future obtain, variable-rate non-recourse mortgage loans 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. See Note 9 for additional information on our interest rate swaps and caps.


W. P. Carey 9/30/2021 10-Q67



At September 30, 2020,2021, a significant portion (approximately 91.0%90.7%) 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 10 and Liquidity and Capital Resources — Summary of Financing in Item 2 above. The following table presents principal cash flows based upon expected maturity dates of our debt obligations outstanding at September 30, 20202021 (in thousands):

(b)Amounts after 20222023 are primarily comprised of principal payments for our Senior Unsecured Notes (Note 10).

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 September 30, 20202021 would increase or decrease by $2.1$3.9 million for our British pound sterling-denominated debt, by $1.7$2.1 million for our euro-denominated debt, by $1.6 million for our U.S. dollar-denominated debt, and by $0.2 million for our Japanese yen-denominated debt, for each respective 1% change in annual interest rates.

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 Danish krone, the Canadian dollar, and the Japanese yen, 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 fiveseveral 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 10). Volatile market conditions arising from the COVID-19 global pandemic 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 our consolidated foreign operations at September 30, 20202021 of $29.7$2.6 million, $5.2$0.6 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 9 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. There have been no material changes in our concentration of credit risk from what was disclosed in the 20192020 Annual Report.

Item 4. 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 September 30, 2020,2021, have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were effective as of September 30, 20202021 at a reasonable level of assurance.

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.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

We are including the following additional risk factor, which should be read in conjunction with our description of risk factors provided in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in our 2019 Annual Report.

Our business may be adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.

We face risks related to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, which has severely impacted, and is likely to continue to adversely impact, global economies. The COVID-19 pandemic has evolved rapidly and often unpredictably, triggering a period of economic slowdown of unknown duration. The multifaceted impact and fluidity of this situation is without precedent in modern history. We are closely monitoring the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on all aspects of our business, including the financial condition of our tenants and our portfolio metrics. The ongoing economic downturn and market volatility has already eroded the financial conditions of certain of our tenants and operating properties. Given the significant uncertainty around the duration and severity of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, we are unable to predict the impact that it will have on our tenants’ continued ability to pay rent. Therefore, information provided regarding historical rent collections should not serve as an indication of expected future rent collections.

It is likely that the COVID-19 pandemic will continue to cause severe economic, market, and other disruptions worldwide. The breadth and duration of business disruptions related to COVID-19, as well as its impact on the U.S. economy and consumer confidence, remains undetermined. The spread of COVID-19 has caused continuing volatility in U.S. and international debt and equity markets, which can also negatively impact consumer confidence. We cannot assure you that conditions in the bank lending, capital, and other financial markets will not further deteriorate as a result of the pandemic, causing our access to capital and other sources of funding to become constrained, which could adversely affect our ability to meet our financial covenants, as well as the terms or even availability of future borrowings, renewals, and refinancings. Rapid changes in laws and regulatory policies, including the effects of government fiscal and monetary policies, could subject us to additional market volatility and risks.

Any preventative actions related to COVID-19 that we or governmental authorities may take could result in business disruptions; however, failure to take a cautious approach could exacerbate the crisis and subject us to risks arising from potential legal liabilities. Consequently, the COVID-19 pandemic presents material risks with respect to our performance, including to our business, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations, prospects, and ability to maintain our current dividends, as well as the estimated fair values of our investments and properties. The extent to which COVID-19 impacts our results and operations will depend on future developments, including new information that may emerge concerning COVID-19 and potential vaccines or treatments, the duration of the outbreak, and actions taken to contain COVID-19 or mitigate its impacts, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence.
