CEO Comments

“We are pleased with our continued success and the company’s position of strength as we enter the fourth quarter,” said John P. Case, Realty Income’s Chief Executive Officer. “During the third quarter, we completed $410 million in high-quality acquisitions at attractive investment spreads to our cost of capital. Year-to-date, we have completed approximately $1.1 billion in acquisitions and we continue to see an active pipeline of investment opportunities. As a result, we are raising our 2016 acquisitions guidance to approximately $1.5 billion from our prior estimate of $1.25 billion. Our portfolio remains healthy with occupancy in excess of 98%. During the third quarter, we were quite active on the re-leasing front with 47 properties re-leased, recapturing 105% of expiring rent. Based on the positive results from our operating performance, we are tightening and raising the midpoint of our 2016 AFFO per share guidance from $2.85 - $2.90 to $2.87 - $2.89.”

“In October, we successfully accessed the capital markets, completing a $600 million, 10-year senior unsecured bond offering at an effective yield to maturity of 3.15%, which is the lowest yield we have achieved in our company’s history for a 10-year bond offering. We believe the pricing of the transaction reflects our excellent financial condition and the favorable outlook for our company.”

Net Income Available to Common Stockholders

Net income available to common stockholders for the quarter ended September 30, 2016 was $70.3 million, as compared to $60.7 million for the same quarter in 2015. Net income per share for the quarter ended September 30, 2016 was $0.27, as compared to $0.26 for the same quarter in 2015.

The calculation to determine net income for a real estate company includes impairments, gains on property sales and/or fair value adjustments on interest rate swaps. These items can vary from quarter to quarter and can significantly impact net income and period to period comparisons.

Funds From Operations Available to Common Stockholders (FFO)

FFO for the quarter ended September 30, 2016 increased 16.1% to $188.3 million, as compared to $162.2 million for the same quarter in 2015. FFO per share for the quarter ended September 30, 2016 increased 5.8% to $0.73, as compared to $0.69 for the same quarter in 2015.

FFO for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 increased 12.9% to $535.6 million, as compared to $474.5 million for the same period in 2015. FFO per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 increased 2.9% to $2.11, as compared to $2.05 for the same period in 2015. FFO for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was impacted by a non-cash loss of $5.8 million, or $0.02 per share, resulting from fair value adjustments on our interest rate swaps. FFO for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was also impacted by a non-cash loss of $7.1 million, or $0.03 per share, resulting from fair value adjustments on our interest rate swaps. Each quarter we adjust the carrying value of our interest rate swaps to fair value. The changes in the fair value of our interest rate swaps are recorded to interest expense.

Adjusted Funds From Operations Available to Common Stockholders (AFFO)

AFFO for the quarter ended September 30, 2016 increased 12.5% to $186.6 million, as compared to $165.8 million for the same quarter in 2015. AFFO per share for the quarter ended September 30, 2016 increased 2.9% to $0.72, as compared to $0.70 for the same quarter in 2015.

AFFO for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 increased 13.9% to $543.4 million, as compared to $477.0 million for the same period in 2015. AFFO per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 increased 3.9% to $2.14, as compared to $2.06 for the same period in 2015.

The company considers FFO and AFFO to be appropriate supplemental measures of a Real Estate Investment Trust’s (REIT’s) operating performance. Realty Income defines FFO consistent with the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trust’s (NAREIT’s) definition, as net income available to common stockholders, plus depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, plus impairments of real estate, and reduced by gains on sales of investment properties. AFFO further adjusts FFO for unique revenue and expense items, which the company believes are not as pertinent to the measurement of the company’s ongoing operating performance. Presentation of the information regarding FFO and AFFO is intended to assist the reader in comparing the operating performance of different REITs, although it should be noted that not all REITs calculate FFO and AFFO in the same way, so comparisons with other REITs may not be meaningful. FFO and AFFO should not be considered as alternatives to reviewing our cash flows from operating, investing, and financing activities. In addition, FFO and AFFO should not be considered as measures of liquidity, our ability to make cash distributions, or our ability to pay interest payments. See the reconciliations of net income available to common stockholders to FFO and AFFO on pages six and seven of this press release.

Dividend Increases

In September 2016, Realty Income announced the 76 th consecutive quarterly dividend increase, which is the 88 th increase in the amount of the dividend since the company’s listing on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) in 1994.

2016 Earnings Guidance

We estimate FFO per share for 2016 of $2.83 to $2.88, an increase of 2.2% to 4.0%, respectively, over 2015 FFO per share of $2.77. FFO per share for 2016 is based on a net income per share range of $1.16 to $1.21, plus estimated real estate depreciation of $1.75 per share, and reduced by potential estimated gains on sales of investment properties of $0.08 per share (in accordance with NAREIT’s definition of FFO).

We estimate AFFO per share for 2016 of $2.87 to $2.89, an increase of 4.7% to 5.5%, respectively, over 2015 AFFO per share of $2.74. AFFO further adjusts FFO for unique revenue and expense items, which are not as pertinent to the measurement of Realty Income’s ongoing operating performance.
