W. P. Carey Announces Third Quarter Financial Results
New York, NY — November 8, 2011 — Investment firm W. P. Carey & Co. LLC (NYSE: WPC) today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2011.
QUARTERLY RESULTS
• | Funds from operations—as adjusted (AFFO) for the third quarter of 2011 increased compared to the third quarter of 2010, to $41.6 million or $1.03 per diluted share from $27.6 million or $0.69 per diluted share, respectively. AFFO for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 increased to $153.6 million or $3.80 per diluted share compared to $94.6 million or $2.38 per diluted share for the prior year period. |
• | Cash flow from operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 increased to $62.7 million compared to $52.3 million for the prior year period, while adjusted cash flow from operating activities increased to $74.5 million in the current year period compared to $64.9 million in the same period last year. |
• | Total revenues net of reimbursed expenses for the third quarter of 2011 increased to $63.7 million from $42.8 million for the third quarter of 2010. Total revenues net of reimbursed expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 increased to $223.8 million from $144.8 million for the prior year period. Reimbursed expenses are excluded from total revenues because they have no impact on net income. |
• | Net Income for the third quarter of 2011 was $25.2 million, compared to $16.3 million for the same period in 2010. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, net income was $130.0 million, compared to $54.2 million for the comparable period in 2010. |

(“Metro Italy”), a subsidiary of Metro AG, the world’s fourth largest retailer. Metro AG has guaranteed Metro Italy’s obligations under the leases. |

Non-GAAP Financial Disclosure
EBITDA as disclosed represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. We believe that EBITDA is a useful supplemental measure to investors and analysts for assessing the performance of our business segments, although it does not represent net income that is computed in accordance with GAAP, because it removes the impact of our capital structure and asset base from our operating results and because it is helpful when comparing our operating performance to that of companies in our industry without regard to such items, which can vary substantially from company to company. Accordingly, EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income as an indicator of our financial performance. EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Therefore, we use EBITDA as one measure of our operating performance when we formulate corporate goals, evaluate the effectiveness of our strategies, and determine executive compensation.

(a) | Effective January 1, 2011, we include our equity investments in the REITs in our real estate ownership segment. The equity income (loss) from the REITs that is now included in our real estate ownership segment represents our proportionate share of the revenue less expenses of the properties held by the REITs. This treatment is consistent with that of our directly-owned properties. Results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 have been adjusted to reflect this reclassification. | |
(b) | Represents gain recognized on the purchase of the remaining interests in two ventures from CPA®:14, which we had previously accounted for under the equity method. In connection with purchasing these properties, we recognized a net gain of $27.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 to adjust the carrying value of our existing interests in these ventures to their estimated fair values. |
Non-GAAP Financial Disclosure
Funds from operations (FFO) is a non-GAAP financial measure that is commonly used by investors and analysts in evaluating real estate companies. Although the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT) has published a definition of FFO, real estate companies often modify this definition as they seek to provide financial measures that meaningfully reflect their operations. FFO or funds from operations — as adjusted (AFFO) should not be considered as an alternative to net income as an indication of a company’s operating performance or to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of its liquidity but should be used in conjunction with GAAP net income. FFO or AFFO disclosed by other REITs may not be comparable to our AFFO calculation.
NAREIT’s definition of FFO adjusts GAAP net income to exclude depreciation and gains/losses from the sales of properties and adjusts for FFO applicable to unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. We calculate AFFO in accordance with this definition and then include other adjustments to GAAP net income to adjust for certain non-cash charges such as amortization of intangibles, deferred income tax benefits and expenses, straight-line rents, stock compensation, impairment charges on real estate and unrealized foreign currency exchange gains and losses. We exclude these items from GAAP net income as they are not the primary drivers in our decision making process. 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 that have no impact on cash flows, and we therefore use AFFO as one measure of our operating performance when we formulate corporate goals, evaluate the effectiveness of our strategies, and determine executive compensation. As a result, we believe that AFFO is a useful supplemental measure for investors to consider because it will help them to better understand and measure the performance of our business over time without the potentially distorting impact of these short-term fluctuations.

(a) | We take a substantial portion of our asset management revenue in shares of the CPA® REIT funds. To the extent we receive distributions in excess of the equity income that we recognize, we include such amounts in our evaluation of cash flow from core operations. | |
(b) | Represents noncontrolling interests’ share of distributions made by ventures that we consolidate in our financial statements. | |
(c) | Timing differences arising from the payment of certain liabilities and the receipt of certain receivables in a period other than that in which the item is recognized in determining net income may distort the actual cash flow that our core operations generate. We adjust our GAAP cash flow from operating activities to record such amounts in the period in which the item was actually recognized. | |
(d) | Amounts represent termination and subordinated disposition revenue, net of a 45% tax provision, earned in connection with the CPA®:14/16 Merger. This revenue is generally earned in connection with events that provide liquidity or alternatives to the CPA® REIT shareholders. In determining cash flow generated from our core operations, we believe it is more appropriate to normalize cash flow for the impact of the net revenue earned in connection with the CPA®:14/16 Merger. |
Non-GAAP Financial Disclosure
Adjusted cash flow from operating activities refers to our cash provided by operating activities, as determined in accordance with GAAP, adjusted primarily to reflect timing differences between the period an expense is incurred and paid, to add cash distributions that we receive from our investments in unconsolidated real estate joint ventures in excess of our equity investment in the joint ventures, and to subtract cash distributions that we make to our noncontrolling partners in real estate joint ventures that we consolidate. We hold a number of interests in real estate joint ventures, and we believe that adjusting our GAAP cash provided by operating activities to reflect these actual cash receipts and cash payments may give investors a more accurate picture of our actual cash flow than GAAP cash provided by operating activities alone and that it is a useful supplemental measure for investors to consider. We also believe that adjusted cash flow from operating activities is a useful supplemental measure for assessing the cash flow generated from our core operations, and we use this measure when evaluating distributions to shareholders and as one measure of our operating performance when we determine executive compensation. Adjusted cash flow from operating activities should not be considered as an alternative to cash provided by operating activities computed on a GAAP basis as a measure of our liquidity. Adjusted cash flow from operating activities may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
