Strategic
| |
| • | Actively exploring the potential separation of the Company into more focused entities aligned with its core competencies |
MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY
“I’m pleased to report that AFFO per diluted share increased 5.3% compared to the same quarter last year, due primarily to the positive net impact of acquisitions within our owned real estate portfolio and growth in assets under management within our investment management business,” said Trevor Bond, Chief Executive Officer of W. P. Carey.
“In addition, as part of our ongoing internal strategic review, we are evaluating the potential to create long-term value by separating our core competencies into more focused entities with distinct strategies, which we believe will provide enhanced opportunities for growth. Accordingly, the board has authorized management to actively explore such a transformation.”
FINANCIAL RESULTS
Revenues
| |
| • | Total Company: Revenues excluding reimbursable costs (net revenues) for the 2015 third quarter totaled $198.2 million, up 12.6% from $176.0 million for the 2014 third quarter, due primarily to additional lease revenues from properties acquired since the start of the 2014 third quarter and higher asset management revenue resulting from growth in assets under management. |
| |
| • | Real Estate Ownership: Real estate revenues excluding reimbursable tenant costs (net revenues from real estate ownership) for the 2015 third quarter were $175.8 million, up 10.6% from $159.0 million for the 2014 third quarter, due primarily to additional lease revenues from properties acquired since the start of the 2014 third quarter. |
| |
| • | Investment Management: Revenues from the Managed Programs excluding reimbursable costs (net revenues from the Managed Programs) for the 2015 third quarter were $22.3 million, up 31.2% from $17.0 million for the 2014 third quarter, due primarily to higher asset management revenue resulting from growth in assets under management. |
Adjusted Funds from Operations (AFFO)
| |
| • | AFFO for the 2015 third quarter was $1.19 per diluted share, up 5.3% compared to $1.13 per diluted share for the 2014 third quarter, due primarily to (i) the positive net impact of properties acquired for our owned real estate portfolio since the beginning of the 2014 third quarter; and (ii) higher assets under management within our investment management business resulting in increases to both asset management fees and distributions of available cash from the Company’s interests in the operating partnerships of the Managed REITs. These were partly offset by a stronger U.S. dollar, primarily relative to the euro, net of realized hedging gains and higher general and administrative expenses. |
| |
| • | Note: Further information concerning AFFO, a non-GAAP supplemental performance metric, is presented in the accompanying tables and related notes. |
Dividend
| |
| • | As previously announced, on September 17, 2015, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.955 per share, equivalent to an annualized dividend rate of $3.82 per share. The dividend was paid on October 15, 2015, to stockholders of record as of September 30, 2015. |

Non-GAAP Financial Disclosure
Funds from Operations, or FFO, is a non-GAAP measure defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT. NAREIT defines FFO as net income or loss (as computed in accordance with GAAP) excluding: depreciation and amortization expense from real estate assets, impairment charges on real estate, gains or losses from sales of depreciated real estate assets, and extraordinary items; however, FFO related to assets held for sale, sold, or otherwise transferred and included in the results of discontinued operations are included. These adjustments also incorporate the pro rata share of unconsolidated subsidiaries. FFO is used by management, investors and analysts to facilitate meaningful comparisons of operating performance between periods and among our peers. Although NAREIT has published this definition of FFO, companies often modify this definition as they seek to provide financial measures that meaningfully reflect their distinctive operations.
We modify the NAREIT computation of FFO to include other adjustments to GAAP net income to adjust for certain non-cash charges such as amortization of real estate-related intangibles, deferred income tax benefits and expenses, straight-line rents, stock compensation, gains or losses from extinguishment of debt and deconsolidation of subsidiaries, and unrealized foreign currency exchange gains and losses. 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 acquisition expenses and non-core expenses such as merger expenses. Merger expenses are related to the CPA®:16 Merger. We also exclude realized gains or losses on foreign exchange 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 as they are not the primary drivers in our decision making process and excluding those items provides investors a view of our portfolio performance over time and make it more comparable to other REITs not currently engaged in acquisitions, mergers and restructuring, which are not part of our normal business operations. We use AFFO as one measure of our operating performance when we formulate corporate goals, evaluate the effectiveness of our strategies and determine executive compensation.
We believe that AFFO is a useful supplemental measure for investors to consider because 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 earnings computed under GAAP or as alternatives to cash from operating activities computed under GAAP or as indicators of our ability to fund our cash needs.
