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 expectations surrounding the impact of the broader macroeconomic environment and the ability of tenants to pay rent; our 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”); 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 other 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 fluctuating interest rates, the impact of inflation and tariffs on our tenants and us, the effects of pandemics and global outbreaks of contagious diseases, and domestic or geopolitical crises, such as terrorism, military conflict, war or the perception that hostilities may be imminent, political instability or civil unrest, or other conflict, 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, 2024, as filed with the SEC on February 12, 2025 (the “2024 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” or the “Company”) 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 that are leased on a long-term basis. We earn revenue principally by leasing the properties we own to companies on a triple-net lease basis, which generally requires each tenant to pay the costs associated with operating and maintaining the property.

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

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

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 March 31, 2025, our portfolio was comprised of our full or partial ownership interests in 1,614 properties, totaling approximately 177 million square feet, substantially all of which were net leased to 366 tenants, with a weighted-average lease term of 12.3 years and an occupancy rate of 98.3%. In addition, at March 31, 2025, our portfolio was comprised of 84 operating properties, including 78 self-storage properties, four hotels, and two student housing properties, totaling approximately 6.4 million square feet.

We operate as one reportable segment. Our business is characterized as investing primarily in operationally-critical, single-tenant commercial real estate properties that are principally leased on a long-term basis. These economic characteristics are similar across various property types, geographic locations, and industries in which our tenants operate and therefore considered one operating segment. Our consolidated operating results, including net income, are regularly reviewed, in the aggregate, by our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) to evaluate performance and allocate resources, which can be found on our consolidated financial statements.

Our revenues are largely derived from the long-term leases that we execute with tenants. These revenues are classified as either Lease revenues (Note 4) or Income from finance leases and loans receivable (Note 5) in accordance with ASC 842, Leases.

Our operating expenses are regularly reviewed by our CODM. All expenses are reviewed, but our CODM is regularly provided with the following significant expenses, which are included in our consolidated financial statements and require no additional disaggregation: General and administrative expenses, Property expenses, excluding reimbursable tenant costs, Interest expense, and Provision for income taxes.

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 complete 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 presentation 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, 2024, which are included in the 2024 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.

W. P. Carey 3/31/2025 10-Q – 8

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

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 2024 Annual Report.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we had a net increase of one entity classified as a VIE, primarily due to entering into a tax-deferred like-kind exchange under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code (“1031 Exchange”) that has not yet been completed.

At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we considered 15 and 14 entities, respectively, to be VIEs, of which we consolidated ten and nine, 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):


	March 31, 2025		December 31, 2024
Land, buildings and improvements — net lease and other	$	543,941	$	468,484

At both March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, our five unconsolidated VIEs included our interests in (i) two unconsolidated real estate investments, which we account for under the equity method of accounting (we do not consolidate these entities because we are not the primary beneficiary and the nature of our involvement in the activities of these entities allows us to exercise significant influence on, but does not give us power over, decisions that significantly affect the economic performance of these entities), (ii) two unconsolidated investments in equity securities, which we accounted for as investments in shares of the entities at fair value, and (iii) one construction loan investment, which we accounted for as a secured loan receivable. As of March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the net carrying amount of our investments in these entities was $578.6 million and $576.2 million, respectively, and our maximum exposure to loss in these entities was limited to our investments.

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 2024 Annual Report. ASC 606 does not apply to our lease revenues, which constitute a majority of our revenues, but primarily applies to (i) revenues generated from our hotel operating properties and (ii) investment management revenues. Revenue from contracts primarily represented hotel operating property revenues of $8.2 million and $10.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, generated from five hotels located in the United States (one of which was sold during the second quarter of 2024). Investment management revenue from contracts under ASC 606 is discussed in Note 3.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. ASU 2023-09 requires public companies to annually (i) disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation disclosure and (ii) provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold (if the effect of those reconciling items is equal to or greater than five percent of the amount computed by multiplying pre-tax income or loss by the applicable statutory income tax rate). ASU 2023-09 also requires entities to disclose their income tax payments to international, federal, state, and local jurisdictions, among other changes. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

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.

Other than the lease extensions noted under Net Investments in Direct Financing Leases above, there were no material modifications of finance receivables during the three months ended March 31, 2025.

We evaluate the credit quality of our finance receivables utilizing an internal five-point credit rating scale, with one representing the highest credit quality and five representing the lowest. A credit quality of one through three indicates a range of investment grade to stable. A credit quality of four through five indicates a range of inclusion on the watch list to risk of default. The credit quality evaluation of our finance receivables is updated quarterly.

A summary of our finance receivables by internal credit quality rating, excluding our allowance for credit losses, is as follows (dollars in thousands):

We received aggregate distributions of $9.0 million and $4.1 million from our unconsolidated real estate investments for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the aggregate unamortized basis differences on our unconsolidated real estate investments were $16.2 million and $16.5 million, respectively. We did not receive distributions from CESH during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.

Las Vegas Retail Complex

On June 10, 2021, we entered into an agreement to fund a construction loan of approximately $261.9 million (as of March 31, 2025) for a retail complex in Las Vegas, Nevada. Through March 31, 2025, we funded $248.9 million, including $1.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, $5.0 million of this construction loan was repaid to us (which is included in the aggregate distributions from our unconsolidated real estate investments describe above). The outstanding principal on this loan was $243.9 million as of March 31, 2025. In April 2025, we funded $2.0 million for this construction loan (Note 15).

On February 27, 2025, we exercised our option to purchase a 47.50% ownership interest in the partnership that owns the Las Vegas Retail Complex for $5.0 million. Effective as of that date, we began recognizing our proportionate share of revenues and expenses from this jointly owned investment.

Equity income from this investment (including interest income from the construction loan and our proportionate share of earnings from the 47.50% equity interest) was $4.3 million and $3.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, which was recognized within Earnings 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.

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, and interest rate caps (Note 9).

The valuation of our derivative instruments 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.

Equity Method Investment in CESH — We have elected to account for our investment in CESH, which is included in Equity method investments in the consolidated financial statements, at fair value by selecting the equity method fair value option available under GAAP (Note 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 Lineage — We have elected to apply the measurement alternative under ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments — Overall (Subtopic 825-10) to account for our investment in 5,546,547 shares of Lineage (a cold storage REIT), which is included in Other assets, net in the consolidated financial statements. Under this alternative, the carrying value is adjusted for any impairments or changes in fair value resulting from observable transactions for similar or identical investments in the issuer. We classified this investment as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy because shares of Lineage are actively traded on an open market, and we make an adjustment to the value of our investment based on the promote value that the sponsor of our investment is entitled to. Since we were a legacy investor in Lineage prior to their public offering completed in July 2024, our ownership interest is subject to settlement at the discretion of Lineage over a three-year period, during which we will have the option to settle our investment in the form of cash or common stock. If our investment is not settled by Lineage during the three-year period, our investment will convert to common shares.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, we recognized dividends of $2.8 million and $3.0 million, respectively, from our investment in shares of Lineage, which was recorded within Non-operating income in the consolidated financial statements. The fair value of this investment was $270.8 million and $270.9 million at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

Other than the transfer of our investment in shares of Lineage from Level 3 to Level 2 noted above, we did not have any transfers into or out of Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 category of measurements during either the three months ended March 31, 2025 or 2024. Gains and losses (realized and unrealized) recognized on items measured at fair value on a recurring basis included in earnings are reported within Other gains and (losses) on our consolidated financial statements.

__________

(a)The carrying value of Senior Unsecured Notes, net (Note 10) includes unamortized deferred financing costs of $29.3 million and $30.2 million at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The carrying value of Non-recourse mortgages, net includes unamortized deferred financing costs of $0.5 million at both March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

(b)The carrying value of Senior Unsecured Notes, net includes unamortized discount of $29.2 million and $29.9 million at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The carrying value of Non-recourse mortgages, net includes unamortized discount of $3.8 million and $4.4 million at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

(c)For those Senior Unsecured Notes for which there are no observable market prices (specifically, our private placement Senior Unsecured Notes (Note 10)), we used a discounted cash flow model that estimates the present value of future loan payments by discounting such payments at current estimated market interest rates. We consider these notes to be within the Level 3 category. For all other Senior Unsecured Notes, we determined the estimated fair value using observed market prices in an open market, which may experience limited trading volume. We consider these notes to be within the Level 2 category.

(d)We determined the estimated fair value of our non-recourse mortgage loans using a discounted cash flow model that estimates the present value of the future loan payments by discounting such payments at current estimated market interest rates. The estimated market interest rates consider interest rate risk and the value of the underlying collateral, which includes quality of the collateral, the credit quality of the tenant/obligor, and the time until maturity.

We estimated that our other financial assets and liabilities, including amounts outstanding under our Senior Unsecured Credit Facility and Unsecured Term Loan due 2029 (Note 10), but excluding finance receivables (Note 5), had fair values that approximated their carrying values at both March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

Items Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis (Including Impairment Charges)

We periodically assess whether there are any indicators that the value of our real estate investments may be impaired or that their carrying value may not be recoverable. There have been no significant changes in our impairment policies from what was disclosed in the 2024 Annual Report.

2025 — During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we recognized an impairment charge of $6.9 million on one property in order to reduce its carrying value to its estimated fair value, which approximated its estimated selling price.

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 (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, Senior Unsecured Notes, and other securities, due to changes in interest rates or other market factors. We own investments in North America, Europe, and Japan and are subject to risks associated with fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates.

Derivative Financial Instruments

There have been no significant changes in our derivative financial instrument policies from what was disclosed in the 2024 Annual Report. At both March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, no cash collateral had been posted nor received for any of our derivative positions.

Interest Rate Swaps and Caps

We are exposed to the impact of interest rate changes primarily through our borrowing activities. To limit this exposure, we generally seek long-term debt financing on a fixed-rate basis. However, from time to time, we have obtained, and may in the future obtain, variable-rate (i) non-recourse mortgage loans and (ii) unsecured term loans (Note 10) 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.

				$	27

__________

(a)Fair value amounts are based on the exchange rate of the euro at March 31, 2025, as applicable.

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 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 59 months or less.

The following table presents the foreign currency collars that we had outstanding at March 31, 2025 (currency in thousands):


Foreign Currency Derivatives	Number of Instruments	Notional Amount		Fair Value at March 31, 2025
Designated as Cash Flow Hedging Instruments
Foreign currency collars	48	287,000	EUR	$	7,815

Credit Risk-Related Contingent Features

We measure our credit exposure on a counterparty basis as the net positive aggregate estimated fair value of our derivatives, net of any collateral received. No collateral was received as of March 31, 2025. At March 31, 2025, our total credit exposure and the maximum exposure to any single counterparty was $9.8 million and $1.9 million, respectively.

Some of the agreements we have with our derivative counterparties contain cross-default provisions that could trigger a declaration of default on our derivative obligations if we default, or are capable of being declared in default, on certain of our indebtedness. At March 31, 2025, we had not been declared in default on any of our derivative obligations. The estimated fair value of our derivatives in a net liability position was $2.3 million and $0.9 million at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, which included accrued interest and any nonperformance risk adjustments. If we had breached any of these provisions at March 31, 2025 or December 31, 2024, we could have been required to settle our obligations under these agreements at their aggregate termination value of $2.3 million and $0.9 million, respectively.

Net Investment Hedges

Certain borrowings under our Senior Unsecured Notes, Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility, and Unsecured Term Loans (all as defined in Note 10) denominated in euro, British pounds sterling, or Japanese yen are designated as, and are effective as, economic hedges of our net investments in foreign entities.

Exchange rate variations impact our financial results because the financial results of our foreign subsidiaries are translated to U.S. dollars each period, with the effect of exchange rate variations being recorded in Other comprehensive (loss) income as part of the cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment. As a result, changes in the value of our designated 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 as part of the cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment. Such (losses) gains related to non-derivative net investment hedges were $(160.5) million and $88.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Note 10. Debt

Term Loan Agreement

On March 31, 2025, we refinanced our €500.0 million term loan (our “Unsecured Term Loan due 2029”), extending the maturity date by three years to April 24, 2029, with an option to extend the term loan by up to an additional year, subject to certain customary conditions. Pursuant to the credit agreement, the Unsecured Term Loan due 2029 borrowing rate at March 31, 2025 was 80 basis points over EURIBOR. In conjunction with the refinancing of the Unsecured Term Loan due 2029, we executed variable-to-fixed interest rate swaps that fix the floating rate component of the per annum interest rate at 2.00% through the end of 2027, for a total annual interest rate of approximately 2.80% as of March 31, 2025 (inclusive of the current spread). The Unsecured Term Loan due 2029 is incorporated into the Senior Unsecured Credit Facility, which is described below.

Senior Unsecured Credit Facility

As of both March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had a multi-currency senior unsecured credit facility, comprised of (i) a $2.0 billion unsecured revolving credit facility maturing on February 14, 2029 (our “Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility”), (ii) a £270.0 million term loan maturing on February 14, 2028 (our “GBP Term Loan due 2028”), and (iii) a €215.0 million term loan maturing on February 14, 2028 (our “EUR Term Loan due 2028”). We have an option to extend each of these term loans by up to an additional year, subject to certain customary conditions. The GBP Term Loan due 2028 borrowing rate at March 31, 2025 was 80 basis points over SONIA. On March 31, 2025, we executed variable-to-fixed interest rate swaps that fix the floating rate component of the per annum interest rate on our GBP Term Loan due 2028 at 3.92% through the end of 2027, for a total per annum interest rate of approximately 4.72% as of March 31, 2025 (inclusive of the current spread). We refer to these term loans collectively as the “Unsecured Term Loans due 2028.” We refer to our Unsecured Term Loan due 2029 and Unsecured Term Loans due 2028 collectively as our “Unsecured Term Loans.” We refer to our Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility and our Unsecured Term Loans collectively as our “Senior Unsecured Credit Facility.”

As of March 31, 2025, the aggregate principal amount (of revolving and term loans) available under the Senior Unsecured Credit Facility was able to be increased up to an amount not to exceed the U.S. dollar equivalent of $4.35 billion, subject to the conditions to increase set forth in our credit agreement.

At March 31, 2025, our Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility had available capacity of approximately $1.8 billion (net of amounts reserved for standby letters of credit totaling $4.9 million). We currently incur an annual facility fee of 0.125% of the total commitment on our Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility based on (i) our credit ratings of BBB+ and Baa1 or (ii) the “Leverage Ratio” (as defined in the credit agreement for our Senior Unsecured Credit Facility), which is included within Interest expense in our consolidated statements of income.

Senior Unsecured Notes

As set forth in the table below, we have euro and U.S. dollar-denominated senior unsecured notes outstanding with an aggregate principal balance outstanding of $6.3 billion at March 31, 2025 (the “Senior Unsecured Notes”).

Interest on the Senior Unsecured Notes is payable annually or semi-annually in arrears. The Senior Unsecured Notes can be redeemed at par within three months of their respective maturities, or we can call the notes at any time for the principal, accrued interest, and a make-whole amount based upon the applicable government bond yield plus 20 to 35 basis points (except for our 3.410% Senior Notes due 2029 and 3.700% Senior Notes due 2032, which are subject to different repayment provisions).

Note 11. Commitments and Contingencies

At March 31, 2025, we were not involved in any material litigation. Various claims and lawsuits arising in the normal course of business are pending against us.

We maintain several stock-based compensation plans, which are more fully described in the 2024 Annual Report. There have been no significant changes to the terms and conditions of any of our stock-based compensation plans or arrangements during the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Restricted and Conditional Awards

Nonvested restricted share awards (“RSAs”), restricted share units (“RSUs”), and performance share units (“PSUs”) at March 31, 2025 and changes during the three months ended March 31, 2025 were as follows:


	RSA and RSU Awards			PSU Awards
	Shares	Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value		Shares	Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value
Nonvested at January 1, 2025	559,603	$	70.26	551,533	$	101.20
Granted (a)	265,288	56.86		227,702	74.78

Nonvested at March 31, 2025 (d)	632,554	$	63.88	576,501	$	94.38

__________

(a)The grant date fair value of RSAs and RSUs reflect our stock price on the date of grant on a one-for-one basis. The grant date fair value of PSUs was determined utilizing a Monte Carlo simulation model to generate an estimate of our future stock price over the three-year performance period. To estimate the fair value of PSUs granted during the three months ended March 31, 2025, we used a risk-free interest rate of 4.3%, an expected volatility rate of 21.5%, and assumed a dividend yield of zero.

(b)The grant date fair value of shares vested during the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $40.9 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 March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had an obligation to issue 1,604,382 and 1,391,456 shares, respectively, of our common stock underlying such deferred awards, which is recorded within Total stockholders’ equity as a Deferred compensation obligation of $97.0 million and $78.5 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 zero to three times the original awards. As a result, we recorded adjustments at March 31, 2025 to reflect the number of shares expected to be issued when the PSUs vest.

(d)At March 31, 2025, total unrecognized compensation expense related to these awards was approximately $61.2 million, with an aggregate weighted-average remaining term of 2.1 years.

Earnings Per Share

The following table summarizes basic and diluted earnings (dollars in thousands):


	Three Months Ended March 31,

ATM Program and Forward Equity

On May 2, 2022, we established a continuous “at-the-market” offering program (“ATM Program”) with a syndicate of banks, pursuant to which shares of our common stock having an aggregate gross sales price of up to $1.0 billion may be sold (i) directly through or to the banks acting as sales agents or as principal for their own accounts or (ii) through or to participating banks or their affiliates acting as forward sellers on behalf of any forward purchasers pursuant to a forward sale agreement. We did not issue any shares of our common stock pursuant to our ATM Program during the reporting period.

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. Accordingly, we have not included any provisions for federal income taxes related to the REIT in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.

Certain of our subsidiaries have elected taxable REIT subsidiary (“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 months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.

Current income tax expense was $12.4 million and $10.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Deferred income tax benefit was $0.8 million and $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Note 14. Property Dispositions

All property dispositions are also discussed in Note 4 and Note 5.

2025 — During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we sold nine properties for total proceeds, net of selling costs, of $126.7 million and recognized a net gain on these sales totaling $43.8 million (inclusive of income taxes totaling less than $0.1 million recognized upon sale).

2024 — During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we sold 153 properties for total proceeds, net of selling costs, of $868.4 million and recognized a net gain on these sales totaling $15.4 million (inclusive of income taxes totaling $3.1 million recognized upon sale).

Note 15. Subsequent Events

Acquisitions

In April 2025, we completed two acquisitions totaling approximately $171.0 million. They are as follows:

•$42.9 million for a portfolio of four industrial facilities (three in Germany, one in Spain); and

•$128.0 million for a cold storage facility in Santa Fe Springs, California.

Construction Loan Funding

In April 2025, we funded construction loans totaling $2.5 million. They are as follows:

•$2.0 million for the Las Vegas Retail Complex, which is accounted for as an equity method investment (Note 7); and

•$0.5 million for construction loans accounted for as secured loans receivable (Note 5).

Dispositions

In April 2025, we sold four international properties for gross proceeds totaling approximately $23.0 million. Three of these properties were leased to our tenant, Hellweg, and held for sale as of March 31, 2025 (Note 4).

__________

(a)Amounts for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 include $16.3 million and $807.5 million, respectively, of proceeds from the sales of net investments in sales-type leases (U-Haul and State of Andalusia portfolios sold during the prior-year period) (Note 5). Such proceeds are included within Net cash provided by operating activities in accordance with ASC 842, Leases.

(b)We consider Adjusted funds from operations (“AFFO”), a supplemental measure that is not defined by GAAP (a “non-GAAP measure”), to be an important measure in the evaluation of our operating performance. See Supplemental Financial Measures below for our definition of this non-GAAP measure and a reconciliation to its most directly comparable GAAP measure.

Revenues

Total revenues increased for the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to net investment activity and the impact of certain lease restructurings.

Net Income Attributable to W. P. Carey

Net income attributable to W. P. Carey decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to higher losses from remeasurement of foreign debt and a higher non-cash allowance for credit loss on finance leases and loans receivable, partially offset by higher gain on sale of real estate.

AFFO

AFFO increased for the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to the impact of net investment activity, rent escalations, and leasing activity, partially offset by lower interest income on cash deposits.

Terms and Definitions

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

ABR — ABR represents contractual minimum annualized base rent for our net-leased properties and reflects exchange rates as of March 31, 2025. 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 and is presented on a pro rata basis.

Results of Operations

We evaluate our results of operations with a primary focus on increasing and enhancing the value, quality, and number of our properties. 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.

Operating Expenses

Depreciation and Amortization

For the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024, depreciation and amortization expense increased primarily due to the impact of property acquisition activity.

General and Administrative

For the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024, general and administrative expenses decreased by $0.9 million, primarily due to lower professional fees.

Impairment Charges — Real Estate

Our impairment charges on real estate are more fully described in Note 8.

Merger and Other Expenses

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, merger and other expenses are primarily comprised of the write-off of a value added tax receivable that was previously recorded in connection with an international investment.

Other Income and Expenses, and Provision for Income Taxes

Interest Expense

For the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024, interest expense increased by $0.2 million, primarily due to higher outstanding balances and interest rates on our Senior Unsecured Notes, partially offset by (i) lower interest rates on our Unsecured Term Loans, (ii) the reduction of our mortgage debt outstanding by prepaying or repaying at or close to maturity a total of $284.8 million of non-recourse mortgage loans with a weighted-average interest rate of 4.4% since January 1, 2024 (Note 10), and (iii) lower outstanding balances on our Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility.

The following table presents certain information about our outstanding debt (dollars in thousands):

Gain on Sale of Real Estate, Net

Gain on sale of real estate, net, consists of gains and losses on the sale of properties that were (i) disposed of, (ii) subject to the exercise of a purchase option, or (iii) subject to a purchase agreement resulting in a lease modification during the reporting period, as more fully described in Note 4, Note 5 and Note 14.

Other Gains and (Losses)

Other gains and (losses) primarily consists of gains and losses on (i) the mark-to-market fair value of equity securities, (ii) extinguishment of debt, (iii) foreign currency exchange rate movements (except those foreign currency-denominated unsecured debt instruments that were designated as net investment hedges (Note 9)), and (iv) changes in the non-cash allowance for credit losses on loans receivable and finance leases. The timing and amount of such gains or losses cannot always be estimated and are subject to fluctuation.

The following table presents other gains and (losses) (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2025		2024		Change
Other Gains and (Losses)
Net realized and unrealized losses on foreign currency exchange rate movements (a)	$	(27,935)	$	(1,107)	$	(26,828)
Change in allowance for credit losses on finance receivables (Note 5)	(12,331)		4,003		(16,334)

Other	(191)		(199)		8
	$	(42,197)	$	13,839	$	(56,036)

__________

(a)Remeasurement of certain monetary assets and liabilities that are held by our subsidiaries in currencies other than their functional currency are included in other gains and (losses), including certain foreign currency-denominated unsecured debt instruments that are not designated as net investment hedges. This includes foreign currency-denominated intercompany loans to our foreign subsidiaries that are scheduled for settlement. Beginning in the first quarter of 2023, our intercompany loans subject to remeasurement were hedged by certain of our foreign currency-denominated unsecured debt that we de-designated as net investment hedges.

(b)We acquired a secured loan receivable with a fair value of $13.3 million in our merger with a former affiliate, Corporate Property Associates 17 – Global Incorporated, in October 2018, for which the outstanding principal of $24.0 million was fully repaid to us in March 2024 (Note 5). Therefore, we recorded a $10.7 million gain on repayment of this secured loan receivable during the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Non-Operating Income

Non-operating income primarily consists of interest income on our cash deposits, realized gains and losses on derivative instruments, and dividends from equity securities.

The following table presents non-operating income (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2025		2024		Change
Non-Operating Income

	$	7,910	$	15,505	$	(7,595)

__________

(a)Decrease for the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024 is due to lower cash deposit balances as a result of investment activity and debt repayments.

W. P. Carey 3/31/2025 10-Q – 42

Earnings from Equity Method Investments

Our equity method investments are more fully described in Note 7. The following table presents earnings from equity method investments (in thousands):

Earnings from Johnson Self Storage (b)	—		1,136		(1,136)
	$	5,378	$	4,864	$	514

__________

(a)Increase is due to (i) funding of the construction loan portion of this investment since January 1, 2024, which has an interest rate of 6.0%, and (ii) the acquisition of a 47.50% equity interest in the partnership that owns this investment on February 27, 2025 (Note 7).

(b)On September 1, 2024, we acquired the remaining 10% controlling interest in the Johnson Self Storage jointly owned investment, bringing our ownership interest to 100%. Following this acquisition, we no longer recognize equity income from this consolidated investment.

Provision for Income Taxes

For the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024, provision for income taxes increased by $3.0 million, primarily due to higher current taxes and a deferred tax benefit recognized during the prior year period, both as a result of an international lease restructuring.

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, our Senior Unsecured Notes, and our Unsecured Term Loans; the timing of our receipt of lease revenues; the timing and amount of other lease-related payments; the timing of settlement of foreign currency transactions; changes in foreign currency exchange rates; and the timing of distributions from equity method investments. Despite these fluctuations, we believe that we will generate sufficient cash from operations to meet our normal recurring short-term liquidity needs. We may also use existing cash resources, available capacity under our Senior Unsecured Credit Facility, proceeds from term loans or other bank debt, proceeds from dispositions of properties, and the issuance of additional debt or equity securities, such as issuances of common stock through our ATM Program (Note 12), in order to meet our short-term and long-term liquidity needs. We assess our ability to access capital on an ongoing basis. Our sources and uses of cash during the period are described below.

Operating Activities — Net cash provided by operating activities decreased by $762.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to $807.5 million of proceeds received from the sales of net investments in sales-types leases during the prior year period (Note 5), partially offset by an increase in cash flow generated from net investment activity, scheduled rent increases at existing properties, and leasing activity.

Investing Activities — Our investing activities are generally comprised of real estate-related transactions (purchases and sales) and funding for build-to-suit activities and other capital expenditures on real estate.

Financing Activities — Our financing activities are generally comprised of borrowings and repayments under our Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility and Unsecured Term Loans, issuances and repayments of the Senior Unsecured Notes, payments of non-recourse mortgage loans, issuances of common equity, and payments of dividends to stockholders.

(a)Aggregate debt balance includes unamortized discount, net, totaling $41.4 million and $39.3 million as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, and unamortized deferred financing costs totaling $30.3 million and $30.9 million as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

(b)Includes non-recourse mortgages subject to variable-to-fixed interest rate swaps totaling $44.4 million and $43.5 million as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

Cash Resources

At March 31, 2025, our cash resources consisted of the following:

•cash and cash equivalents totaling $187.8 million. Of this amount, $149.9 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 $1.8 billion (net of amounts reserved for standby letters of credit totaling $4.9 million); and

•unleveraged properties that had an aggregate asset carrying value of approximately $14.1 billion at March 31, 2025, although there can be no assurance that we would be able to obtain financing for these properties.

We may also access the capital markets through additional debt (denominated in both U.S. dollars and euros) and equity offerings, as well as term loans and other bank debt.

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

W. P. Carey 3/31/2025 10-Q – 44

Cash Requirements and Liquidity

As of March 31, 2025, we had (i) $187.8 million of cash and cash equivalents and (ii) approximately $1.8 billion of available capacity under our Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility (net of amounts reserved for standby letters of credit totaling $4.9 million). As of March 31, 2025, scheduled debt principal payments total $150.9 million during the remainder of 2025 and $1.0 billion during 2026 (Note 10).

During the next 12 months following March 31, 2025 and thereafter, we expect that our significant cash requirements will include:

•paying dividends to our stockholders;

•funding acquisitions of new investments (Note 4);

•funding future capital commitments (Note 4) and tenant improvement allowances;

•making scheduled principal and balloon payments on our debt obligations

•making scheduled interest payments on our debt obligations (future interest payments total $1.3 billion, with $245.1 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 March 31, 2025); and

•other normal recurring operating expenses.

We expect to fund these cash requirements through cash generated from operations, cash received from dispositions of properties, the use of our cash reserves or unused amounts on our Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility (as described above), proceeds from term loans or other bank debt, issuances of common stock through our ATM Program (Note 12), and potential issuances of additional debt or equity securities.

Our liquidity could be adversely affected by an unanticipated disruption to our operating cash flow, which could include interrupted rent collections or greater-than-anticipated operating expenses. To the extent that our working capital reserve is insufficient to satisfy our cash requirements, additional funds may be provided from cash from operations to meet our normal recurring short-term and long-term liquidity needs. We may also use existing cash resources, available capacity under our Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility, mortgage loan proceeds, and the issuance of additional debt or equity securities to meet these needs.

Certain amounts disclosed above are based on the applicable foreign currency exchange rate at March 31, 2025.

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 (“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.

W. P. Carey 3/31/2025 10-Q – 45

We define FFO, a non-GAAP measure, consistent with the standards established by the White Paper on FFO approved by the Board of Governors of NAREIT, as restated in December 2018. The White Paper defines FFO as net income or loss computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains or losses from the sale of certain real estate, impairment charges on real estate or other assets incidental to the company’s main business, gains or losses on changes in control of interests in real estate, and depreciation and amortization from real estate assets; and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and jointly owned investments. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and jointly owned investments are calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis.

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

We believe that AFFO is a useful supplemental measure for investors to consider as we believe it will help them to better assess the sustainability of our operating performance without the potentially distorting impact of these short-term fluctuations. However, there are limits on the usefulness of AFFO to investors. For example, impairment charges and unrealized foreign currency exchange rate 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.

__________

(a)Equity income, including amounts that are not typically recognized for FFO and AFFO, is recognized within Earnings from equity method investments on the consolidated statements of income. This represents adjustments to equity income to reflect FFO and AFFO on a pro rata basis.

(b)Adjustments disclosed elsewhere in this reconciliation are on a consolidated basis. This adjustment reflects our FFO or AFFO on a pro rata basis.

(c)Primarily comprised of gains and losses on extinguishment of debt, the mark-to-market fair value of equity securities, foreign currency exchange rate movements, and changes in the non-cash allowance for credit losses on loans receivable and finance leases.

(d)Amount for the three months ended March 31, 2024 is primarily comprised of the write-off of a value added tax receivable that was previously recorded in connection with an international investment.

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. FFO and AFFO, or similarly titled measures disclosed by other REITs, may not be comparable to our FFO and AFFO measures.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Market Risk

Market risk is the exposure to loss resulting from changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, and equity prices. The primary market risks that we are exposed to are interest rate risk and foreign currency exchange risk; however, we do not use derivative instruments to hedge credit/market risks or for speculative purposes.

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 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 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 assets to decrease. Increases in interest rates may also have an impact on the credit profile of certain tenants.

We are exposed to the impact of interest rate changes primarily through our borrowing activities. To limit this exposure, we generally seek long-term debt financing on a fixed-rate basis. However, we are subject to variable-rate interest on our Unsecured Term Loans and Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility. We have entered into, and may continue to enter into, interest rate swap agreements or interest rate cap agreements with counterparties related to certain of our variable-rate debt (Note 10). See Note 9 for additional information on our interest rate swaps and caps.

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 March 31, 2025 (in thousands):


	2025 (Remainder)		2026		2027		2028		2029		Thereafter		Total		Fair Value
Fixed-rate debt (a) (b)	$	150,934	$	981,716	$	550,697	$	963,093	$	1,039,675	$	3,814,150	$	7,500,265	$	7,079,107
Variable-rate debt (a)	$	—	$	—	$	—	$	232,523	$	205,129	$	—	$	437,652	$	469,112

__________

(a)Amounts are based on the exchange rate at March 31, 2025, as applicable.

(b)Amounts include non-recourse mortgages and unsecured term loans subject to variable-to-fixed interest rate swaps. Amounts 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 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 March 31, 2025 would increase or decrease by $2.3 million for our euro-denominated debt, by $1.9 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.

W. P. Carey 3/31/2025 10-Q – 48

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, the Japanese yen, and certain other currencies which may affect future costs and cash flows. We have obtained, and may in the future obtain, non-recourse mortgage financing in the local currency. We have also completed several offerings of euro-denominated senior notes, and have borrowed under our Senior Unsecured Credit Facility and Unsecured Term Loan due 2029 in foreign currencies, including the euro, British pound sterling, and Japanese yen (Note 10). Volatile market conditions arising from certain macroeconomic factors may result in significant fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. To the extent that currency fluctuations increase or decrease rental revenues, as translated to U.S. dollars, the change in debt service (comprised of principal and interest, excluding balloon payments), as translated to U.S. dollars, will partially offset the effect of fluctuations in revenue and, to some extent, mitigate the risk from changes in foreign currency exchange rates. We estimate that, for a 1% increase or decrease in the exchange rate between the euro, British pound sterling, or Danish krone and the U.S. dollar, there would be a corresponding change in the projected estimated cash flow (scheduled future rental revenues, net of scheduled future debt service payments for the next 12 months) for our consolidated foreign operations at March 31, 2025 of $2.1 million, $0.3 million, and $0.2 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 2024 Annual Report.
