REALTY INCOME CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 30, 2013

(unaudited)

1. Management Statement

The consolidated financial statements of Realty Income Corporation (“Realty Income”, the “Company”, “we”, “our” or “us”) were prepared from our books and records without audit and include all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary to present a fair statement of results for the interim periods presented. Readers of this quarterly report should refer to our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012, which are included in our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as certain disclosures that would substantially duplicate those contained in the audited financial statements have not been included in this report.

We report, in discontinued operations, the results of operations of properties that have either been sold or are classified as held for sale. As a result, certain of the 2012 balances have been reclassified on our consolidated statements of income and statements of cash flows to conform to the 2013 presentation. Due to the significance of recent acquisitions, we have separately reported acquired lease intangible assets and liabilities, which were previously reported in 2012 as a portion of other assets, net and other liabilities, net, respectively, on our consolidated balance sheets.

At September 30, 2013, we owned 3,866 properties, located in 49 states and Puerto Rico, containing over 61.2 million leasable square feet.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Procedures

A. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Realty Income and other entities for which we make operating and financial decisions (i.e., control), after elimination of all material intercompany balances and transactions. We consolidate entities that we control and record a noncontrolling interest for the portion that we do not own. Noncontrolling interest that was created or assumed as part of a business combination was recognized at fair value as of the date of the transaction (see notes 4 and 12). We have no unconsolidated investments.

B. We have elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code. We believe we have qualified and continue to qualify as a REIT. Under the REIT operating structure, we are permitted to deduct dividends paid to our stockholders in determining our taxable income. Assuming our dividends equal or exceed our taxable income, we generally will not be required to pay federal corporate income taxes on such income. Accordingly, no provision has been made for federal income taxes in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, except for federal income taxes of our taxable REIT subsidiaries, which are included in discontinued operations. The income taxes recorded on our consolidated statements of income represent amounts paid by Realty Income for city and state income and franchise taxes.

C. We recognize an allowance for doubtful accounts relating to accounts receivable for amounts deemed uncollectible. We consider tenant specific issues, such as financial stability and ability to pay rent, when determining collectability of accounts receivable and appropriate allowances to record. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $417,000 at September 30, 2013 and $448,000 at December 31, 2012.

D. We allocate a portion of goodwill to our property sales, which results in a reduction of the carrying amount of our goodwill. In order to allocate goodwill to the carrying amount of properties that we sell, we utilize a relative fair value approach based on the original methodology for allocating goodwill. As we sell properties, our goodwill will likely continue to gradually decrease over time.

Table of Contents

E. Under the amendments issued in conjunction with ASU No. 2011-08, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other (Topic 350), an entity, through an assessment of qualitative factors, is not required to calculate the estimated fair value of a reporting unit, in connection with the two-step goodwill impairment test, unless the entity determines that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount. Despite the issuance of ASU No. 2011-08, we elected to continue testing goodwill for impairment during the second quarter of each year as well as when events or circumstances occur, indicating that our goodwill might be impaired. During our tests for impairment of goodwill during the second quarters of 2013 and 2012, we determined that the estimated fair values of our reporting units exceeded their carrying values. We did not have an impairment on our existing goodwill in 2013 and 2012.

4. American Realty Capital Trust, Inc. (ARCT)

A. Acquisition

On January 22, 2013, we completed our acquisition of ARCT for approximately $3.2 billion. Each outstanding share of ARCT common stock was converted into the right to receive a combination of: (i) $0.35 in cash and (ii) 0.2874 shares of our common stock, resulting in the issuance of a total of 45,573,144 shares of our common stock to ARCT shareholders, valued at a per share amount of $44.04, which was the closing price of our common stock on January 22, 2013. In connection with the closing of the ARCT acquisition, we repaid and terminated the amounts then outstanding of approximately $552.9 million under ARCT’s revolving credit facility and term loan.

The acquisition of ARCT is expected to provide immediate and long-term benefits to Realty Income, including accretion to net earnings, growth in the size of our real estate portfolio, diversification of industries and property type, increase in the percentage of investment grade tenants, and larger size and scope of our Company, which increases competitive advantages in the net-lease marketplace.

With this acquisition, we added 515 properties to our portfolio. The preliminary allocation of the purchase price reflects aggregate consideration of approximately $2.1 billion, as calculated below (in thousands):

Consideration associated with equity issued (1)	$	2,027,753
Cash consideration paid to previous owners of ARCT	56,216
Total purchase consideration	$	2,083,969

(1) Includes the value associated with the issuance of the Tau Operating Partnership units discussed in 4.C. below.

We have accounted for the ARCT acquisition in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, and are in the process of completing our allocation of the purchase price for this acquisition, which we expect to finalize later this year. The following table summarizes our preliminary purchase price allocation, which represents our current best estimate of acquisition date fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed (in thousands):

Table of Contents

Assets:
Real estate	$	2,672,053
Acquired lease intangible assets	562,339
Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and other assets, net	42,275
Total Assets	3,276,667

Liabilities:
Lines of credit payable	317,207
Term loan	235,000
Mortgages payable	538,960
Acquired lease intangible liabilities	78,711
Accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other liabilities, net	22,820
Total Liabilities	1,192,698

Estimated fair value of net assets acquired	$	2,083,969

The final allocation of the purchase price will be based on our assessment of the fair value of the acquired assets and liabilities using both Level 2 and 3 inputs. The final purchase price allocation may be different from the estimates above. Measurement period adjustments were made to the first two quarters of 2013 to adjust preliminary real estate values to reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date. We consider these measurement period adjustments to be immaterial to our consolidated financial statements.

Investments in Real Estate Properties. We will estimate the fair value generally by applying an income approach methodology using both direct capitalization and discounted cash flow analysis. Key assumptions include capitalization and discount rates. Our valuations will be based, in part, on valuations prepared by an independent valuation firm.

Acquired Lease Intangibles. The fair value of in-place leases will be calculated based upon our estimate of the costs to obtain tenants in each of the applicable markets. An asset or liability will be recognized for acquired leases with favorable or unfavorable rents based on our estimate of current market rents in each of the applicable markets. Our valuations of the intangible assets will be based, in part, on valuations prepared by an independent valuation firm.

Debt. The fair value of debt will be estimated based on contractual future cash flows discounted using borrowing spreads and market interest rates that would be available to us for the issuance of debt with similar terms and remaining maturities.

B. Transaction Costs

In connection with our acquisition of ARCT, we expect to incur total merger-related transaction costs of approximately $21 million, which include, but are not limited to, advisor fees, legal fees, accounting fees, printing fees and transfer taxes. During the first nine months of 2013, we incurred $12.9 million of the estimated $21 million of total merger-related transaction costs, which are included in income from continuing operations. In 2012, we incurred $7.9 million of these total merger-related transaction costs.

C. Noncontrolling interests and preferred units

Consideration associated with equity issued includes the value of common and preferred partnership units issued in Tau Operating Partnership, L.P., or Tau Operating Partnership, the consolidated subsidiary which owns properties acquired through the ARCT acquisition. Since the date of acquisition, Realty Income and its subsidiaries hold a 99.3% interest in the Tau Operating Partnership.

Table of Contents

The common units do not have voting rights, are entitled to monthly distributions equal to the amount paid to common stockholders of Realty Income, and are redeemable in cash or Realty Income common stock at our option and at a conversion ratio of one to one. Noncontrolling interests with redemption provisions that permit the issuer to settle in either cash or common stock, at the option of the issuer, were evaluated to determine whether temporary or permanent equity classification on the balance sheet was appropriate. We evaluated this guidance and determined that the common units meet the requirements to qualify for presentation as permanent equity. See note 12 for the change in the carrying value of these common units from January 22, 2013 through September 30, 2013.

The Tau Operating Partnership preferred units have also been recorded at fair value as of the date of acquisition. Since they are redeemable at a fixed price on a determinable date, we have classified them in other liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet. Payments on these preferred units are made monthly at a rate of 2% per annum and are included in interest expense. As of September 30, 2013, the preferred units have a carrying value of $6.75 million.

D. Litigation

See note 23 for a discussion of certain legal proceedings related to our acquisition of ARCT.

5. Investments in Real Estate

We acquire the land, buildings and improvements that are necessary for the successful operations of commercial enterprises.

A. Acquisitions during the First Nine Months of 2013 and 2012

During the first nine months of 2013, we invested $1.37 billion in 407 new properties and properties under development or expansion (excluding ARCT), with an estimated initial weighted average contractual lease rate of 7.0%. The 407 new properties and properties under development or expansion are located in 40 states, will contain over 8.0 million leasable square feet, and are 100% leased with a weighted average lease term of 14.1 years. The tenants occupying the new properties operate in 21 industries and the property types consist of 84.1% retail, 10.4% office, 3.1% industrial and distribution, and 2.4% manufacturing, based on rental revenue.

During the first nine months of 2013, we also completed our acquisition of ARCT for $3.2 billion, which added 515 properties to our real estate portfolio. The 515 properties are located in 44 states and Puerto Rico, contain over 16.0 million leasable square feet, and are 100% leased with a weighted average lease term of 12.2 years. The 69 tenants, occupying the 515 properties acquired, operate in 28 industries and the property types consist of 53.5% retail, 32.0% industrial and distribution, and 14.5% office, based on rental revenue. We recorded ARCT merger-related transaction costs of $12.9 million in the first nine months of 2013.

Our combined total investment in real estate assets, including the ARCT acquisition, during the first nine months of 2013, was $4.52 billion. None of our investments, during the first nine months of 2013, caused any one tenant to be 10% or more of our total assets at September 30, 2013.

Additionally, in September 2013, we purchased a property for $45.4 million in San Diego, California, which will serve as our new corporate headquarters. We plan on relocating to this facility during the second half of 2014.

The $4.52 billion invested during the first nine months of 2013, was allocated as follows: $769.4 million to land, $3.10 billion to buildings and improvements, $765.3 million to intangible assets related to leases, $13.5 million to other assets, net, and $143.4 million to intangible liabilities related to leases and other assumed liabilities. We also recorded mortgage premiums of $28.4 million associated with the mortgages acquired. There was no contingent consideration associated with these acquisitions.

Table of Contents

The properties acquired during the first nine months of 2013 generated total revenues of $148.1 million and income from continuing operations of $36.0 million.

The purchase price allocation for $3.43 billion of the $4.52 billion invested by us in the first nine months of 2013 is based on a preliminary measurement of fair value that is subject to change. The allocation for these properties represents our current best estimate of fair value and we expect to finalize the valuations and complete the purchase price allocations in 2013. In the first nine months of 2013, we finalized the purchase price allocations for $106.4 million invested in the second half of 2012 and $1.09 billion invested in the first nine months of 2013. There were no material changes to our consolidated financial statements as a result of the finalization of these purchase price allocations.

During the first nine months of 2012, we invested $717.6 million in 245 new properties and properties under development or expansion, with an estimated initial weighted average contractual lease rate of 7.1%. These 245 new properties and properties under development or expansion, are located in 34 states, contain over 7.0 million leasable square feet, and are 100% leased with a weighted average lease term of 13.7 years. The tenants occupying the new properties operate in 20 industries and the property types consist of 77.0% retail, 16.4% industrial and distribution, 5.4% manufacturing, and 1.2% office, based on rental revenue.

The estimated initial weighted average contractual lease rate for a property is generally computed as estimated contractual net operating income which, in the case of a net-leased property, is equal to the aggregate base rent under the lease for the first full year of each lease, divided by the total cost of the property. Since it is possible that a tenant could default on the payment of contractual rent, we cannot provide assurance that the actual return on the funds invested will remain at the percentages listed above.

In the case of a property under development or expansion, the estimated initial weighted average contractual lease rate is computed as follows: estimated net operating income (which is calculated by multiplying the capitalization rate determined by the lease by our projected total investment in the property, including land, construction and capitalized interest costs) for the first full year of each lease, divided by such projected total investment in the property. Of the $4.52 billion we invested in the first nine months of 2013, $28.8 million was invested in 19 properties under development or expansion with an estimated initial weighted average contractual lease rate of 8.5%.

B. Acquisition Transaction Costs

Acquisition transaction costs of $1.7 million and $1.4 million, respectively, were recorded to general and administrative expense on our consolidated statements of income for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, and September 30, 2012.

C. Investments in Existing Properties

During the first nine months of 2013, we capitalized $5.9 million of costs on existing properties in our portfolio, consisting of $1.1 million for re-leasing costs and $4.8 million for building and tenant improvements. In comparison, during the first nine months of 2012, we capitalized $4.5 million of costs on existing properties in our portfolio, consisting of $1.2 million for re-leasing costs and $3.3 million for building and tenant improvements.

D. Properties with Existing Leases

Of the $4.52 billion we invested in the first nine months of 2013, approximately $4.25 billion was used to acquire 756 properties with existing leases. Associated with these 756 properties, we recorded $596.4 million as the intangible value of the in-place leases, $177.8 million as the intangible value of above-market leases and $116.0 million as the intangible value of below-market leases. The value of the in-place and above-market leases is recorded to acquired lease intangible assets, net on our consolidated balance sheet, and the value of the below-market leases is recorded to acquired lease intangible liabilities, net on our consolidated balance sheet. The values recorded to a majority of these intangible values, during the first nine months of 2013, are based on a preliminary measurement of fair value that is subject to change.

Table of Contents

The values of the in-place leases are amortized as depreciation and amortization expense. The amounts amortized to expense for all of our in-place leases, for the first nine months of 2013 and 2012, were $46.4 million and $10.3 million, respectively.

The values of the above-market and below-market leases are amortized as rental revenue on our consolidated statements of income. All of these amounts are amortized over the term of the respective leases. The amounts amortized as a net decrease to rental revenue for capitalized above-market and below-market leases, for the first nine months of 2013 and 2012, were $6.2 million and $1.4 million, respectively.

If a lease were to be terminated prior to its stated expiration, all unamortized amounts relating to that lease would be recorded to revenue or expense as appropriate.

The following table presents the estimated impact during the next five years and thereafter related to the net decrease to rental revenue from the amortization of the acquired above-market and below-market lease intangibles and the increase to amortization expense from the amortization of the in-place lease intangibles for properties owned at September 30, 2013 (in thousands):

E. Pro Forma Information

The following pro forma total revenue and income from continuing operations, for the first nine months of 2013 and 2012, assumes all of our property acquisitions, including ARCT, for the first nine months of 2013 occurred on January 1, 2012. This pro forma supplemental information does not include: (1) the impact of any synergies or lower borrowing costs that we have or may achieve as a result of the acquisitions, or any strategies that management has or may consider in order to continue to efficiently manage our operations, and (2) ARCT’s historical operational costs, including general and administrative costs and property expenses. Additionally, this information does not purport to be indicative of what our operating results would have been, had the acquisitions occurred on January 1, 2012, and may not be indicative of future operating results. For purposes of calculating these pro-forma amounts, we assumed that merger-related costs of approximately $12.4 million, which represent the estimated merger-related costs incurred after consummation of our ARCT acquisition, occurred on January 1, 2012. Other than the item specified above, no material, non-recurring pro-forma adjustments were included in the calculation of this information.

6. Credit Facility

We have a $1 billion unsecured acquisition credit facility, with an initial term that expires in May 2016, and includes, at our election, a one-year extension option. Under this credit facility, our current investment grade credit ratings provide for financing at the London Interbank Offered Rate, commonly referred to as LIBOR, plus 1.075% with a facility commitment fee of 0.175%, for all-in drawn pricing of 1.25% over LIBOR. The borrowing rate is not subject to an interest rate floor or ceiling. We also have other interest rate options available to us under this credit facility. Our credit facility is unsecured and, accordingly, we have not pledged any assets as collateral for this obligation. On October 29, 2013, our credit facility was increased by $500 million to $1.5 billion and the available borrowing capacity under our acquisition credit facility was approximately $1.4 billion, after expansion of the credit facility and paying down borrowings with proceeds from our stock offering in October 2013 (see note 23). All other material business terms of the credit facility remain unchanged.

At September 30, 2013, credit facility origination costs of $6.4 million are included in other assets, net, on our consolidated balance sheet. These costs are being amortized over the remaining term of our current $1 billion credit facility.

At September 30, 2013, we had a borrowing capacity of $531.6 million available on our credit facility (subject to customary conditions to borrowing) and an outstanding balance of $468.4 million, as compared to an outstanding balance of $158.0 million at December 31, 2012.

The weighted average interest rate on outstanding borrowings under our credit facility was 1.3%, during the first nine months of 2013, and 1.6% during the first nine months of 2012. At September 30, 2013, the effective interest rate was 1.3%. Our current and prior credit facilities are and were subject to various leverage and interest coverage ratio limitations. At September 30, 2013, we remain in compliance with these covenants.

7. Mortgages Payable

During the first nine months of 2013, we assumed mortgages totaling $630.0 million, excluding net premiums. The mortgages are secured by the properties on which the debt was placed. Of the $630.0 million of mortgages assumed during the first nine months of 2013, approximately $608.8 million is considered non-recourse with limited customary exceptions for items such as bankruptcy, misrepresentation, fraud, misapplication of payments, environmental liabilities, failure to pay taxes, insurance premiums, liens on the property and uninsured losses. Approximately $6.6 million has full recourse to Realty Income, and the remaining $14.6 million of the assumed debt is not guaranteed by and is non-recourse to Realty Income. We expect to pay off the mortgages as soon as prepayment penalties have declined to a level that will make it economically feasible to do so. We intend to continue to primarily identify property acquisitions that are free from mortgage indebtedness. In August 2013, we repaid one mortgage in full for $11.7 million.

During the first nine months of 2013, aggregate net premiums totaling $28.4 million were recorded upon assumption of the mortgages for above-market interest rates, as compared to net premiums totaling $7.1 million recorded in 2012. Amortization of these net premiums is recorded as a reduction to interest expense over the remaining term of the respective mortgages, using a method that approximates the effective-interest method.

These mortgages contain customary covenants, such as limiting our ability to further mortgage each applicable property or to discontinue insurance coverage, without the prior consent of the lender. At September 30, 2013, we remain in compliance with these covenants.

Table of Contents

As a result of assuming mortgages payable, we incurred deferred financing costs of $211,000 in the first nine months of 2013 and $1.1 million in all of 2012, which are classified as part of other assets, net, on our consolidated balance sheets. The balance of these deferred financing costs was $1.3 million at September 30, 2013 and $1.5 million at December 31, 2012 which is being amortized over the remaining term of each mortgage.

The following is a summary of all our mortgages payable as of September 30, 2013, and December 31, 2012, respectively (dollars in thousands):

		Weighted	Weighted	Weighted
		Average	Average	Average
		Stated	Effective	Remaining	Remaining		Unamortized		Mortgage
	Number of	Interest	Interest	Years Until	Principal		Premium		Payable
As Of	Properties(1)	Rate(2)	Rate(3)	Maturity	Balance		Balance		Balance
9/30/13	229	5.4%	4.0%	4.1	$	779,684	$	31,373	$	811,058
12/31/12	11	5.8%	4.4%	4.8	$	165,927	$	9,941	$	175,868

(1) At September 30, 2013, there were 50 mortgages on 229 properties, while at December 31, 2012, there were 13 mortgages on 11 properties. The mortgages require monthly payments, with principal payments due at maturity. The mortgages are at fixed interest rates, except for: (1) a $23.6 million mortgage maturing on June 10, 2015 with a floating variable interest rate calculated as the sum of the current one month LIBOR plus 4.5%, not to exceed an all-in interest rate of 5.5%, (2) a $8.3 million mortgage maturing on September 3, 2021, with a floating interest rate calculated as the sum of the current one month LIBOR plus 2.4%, and (3) a $32.4 million mortgage maturing on April 10, 2017, which is fixed at 5.07% through December 28, 2015, but is reset to the greater of 4.0%, or the two-year swap rate plus 2.75% thereafter. As part of the $8.3 million mortgage payable assumed in 2012, we also acquired an interest rate swap which essentially fixes the interest rate on this mortgage payable at 6.0%. As part of the $32.4 million mortgage payable assumed in 2013, we have the opportunity to prepay the mortgage at par on December 28, 2015, prior to the variable interest rate reset. As part of two mortgages totaling $8.8 million and maturing on December 28, 2013, we also acquired an $8.8 million note receivable, upon which we receive interest income at a stated rate of 8.1% through December 28, 2013.

(2) Stated interest rates ranged from 2.5% to 8.3% at September 30, 2013, while stated interest rates ranged from 2.6% to 8.3% at December 31, 2012.

(3) Effective interest rates ranged from 2.4% to 9.2% at September 30, 2013, while effective interest rates ranged from 2.7% to 8.3% at December 31, 2012.

The following table summarizes the maturity of mortgages payable, excluding net premiums of $31.4 million, as of September 30, 2013 (dollars in millions):

8. Term Loan

In January 2013, in conjunction with our acquisition of ARCT, we entered into a $70 million senior unsecured term loan maturing January 21, 2018. Borrowing under the term loan bears interest at the current one month LIBOR, plus 1.2%. In conjunction with this term loan, we also acquired an interest rate swap, which essentially fixes our per annum interest rate on the term loan at 2.15%. The interest rate swap has a nominal value at September 30, 2013. As a result of entering into our term loan, we incurred deferred financing costs of $303,000, which are being amortized over the remaining term of the term loan. The net balance of these deferred financing costs was $263,000, which are classified as part of other assets, net, on our consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2013.

As of September 30, 2013, the weighted average interest rate of our notes and bonds payable was 4.9% and the weighted average remaining years until maturity was 7.9 years.

B. Note Repayment

In March 2013, we repaid the $100 million of outstanding 5.375% notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, using proceeds from our March 2013 common stock offering and our credit facility.

C. Note Issuance

In July 2013, we issued $750 million of 4.65% senior unsecured notes due August 2023, or the 2023 Notes. The price to the investors for the 2023 Notes was 99.775% of the principal amount for an effective yield of 4.678% per annum. The total net proceeds of approximately $741.4 million from these offerings were used to repay all outstanding borrowings under our acquisition credit facility, and the remaining proceeds were used for other general corporate purposes and working capital, including additional property acquisitions. Interest is paid semiannually on the 2023 Notes.

10. Issuance and Redemption of Preferred Stock

A. In February 2012, we issued 14.95 million shares of our 6.625% Monthly Income Class F Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock at a price of $25.00 per share, including 1.95 million shares purchased by the underwriters upon the exercise of their overallotment option. In April 2012, we issued an additional 1.4 million shares of our Class F preferred stock at a price of $25.2863 per share. After aggregate underwriting discounts and other offering costs of $13.8 million, we received net proceeds of $395.4 million for the February and April offerings combined, of which $127.5 million was used to redeem all of our outstanding 7.375% Monthly Income Class D Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock and the balance was used to repay a portion of the borrowings under our credit facility. Beginning February 15, 2017, the Class F preferred shares are redeemable, at our option, for $25 per share. The initial dividend of $0.1702257 per share was paid on March 15, 2012 and covered 37 days. Thereafter, dividends of $0.138021 per share are paid monthly in arrears on the Class F preferred stock.

B. We redeemed all of the 5.1 million shares of our 7.375% Monthly Income Class D Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock in March 2012 for $25.00 per share, plus accrued dividends. We incurred a charge of $3.7 million for the first nine months of 2012, representing the Class D preferred stock original issuance costs that we paid in 2004.

11. Issuance of Common Stock

In March 2013, we issued 17,250,000 shares of common stock at a price of $45.90 per share, including 2,250,000 shares purchased by the underwriters upon the exercise of their overallotment option. After underwriting discounts and other offering costs of $36.7 million, the net proceeds of $755.1 million were used to redeem our 5.375% notes in March 2013 and repay borrowings under our acquisition credit facility, which were used to fund property acquisitions, including our acquisition of ARCT.

In connection with our January 2013 acquisition of ARCT, as described in note 4, we issued a total of 45,573,144 shares of our common stock to ARCT shareholders and we received 208,709 shares of our common stock that were previously held by ARCT. The closing price per share of our common stock on the date of the ARCT acquisition was $44.04. The total value of the 45,573,144 common shares was approximately $2 billion.

12. Noncontrolling Interests

In June 2013, we completed the acquisition of a portfolio of properties by issuing units in a newly formed entity, Realty Income, L.P. The units issued as consideration for the acquisition represent a

2.2% ownership in Realty Income, L.P. at September 30, 2013. Realty Income holds the remaining 97.8% interests in this entity, and consolidates the entity.

The Realty Income, L.P. units do not have voting rights, are entitled to monthly distributions equal to the amount paid to common stockholders of Realty Income, and are redeemable in cash or Realty Income common stock, at our option, and at a conversion ratio of one to one, subject to certain exceptions. Noncontrolling interests with redemption provisions that permit the issuer to settle in either cash or common stock, at the option of the issuer, were evaluated to determine whether temporary or permanent equity classification on the balance sheet was appropriate. We evaluated this guidance and determined that the units meet the requirements to qualify for presentation as permanent equity.

The following table represents the change in the carrying value of all noncontrolling interests, including Tau Operating Partnership units which are discussed in note 4, through September 30, 2013 (dollars in thousands):

	Tau Operating			Realty Income, L.P.
	Partnership units(1)			units(2)			Total
Fair value of units issued	$	13,962		$	22,600		$	36,562
Distributions	(518		)	(388		)	(906		)
Allocation of net income	153			269			422
Carrying value at September 30, 2013	$	13,597		$	22,481		$	36,078

(1)	Tau Operating Partnership units issued on January 22, 2013.
(2)	Realty Income, L.P. units issued on June 27, 2013.

13. Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The disclosure for assets and liabilities measured at fair value requires allocation to a three-level valuation hierarchy. This valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. Categorization within this hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Table of Contents

We believe that the carrying values reflected on our consolidated balance sheets reasonably approximate the fair values for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, escrow deposits, loans receivable, lines of credit payable, term loan and all other liabilities, due to their short-term nature or interest rates and terms that are consistent with market, except for our notes receivable issued in connection with property sales or acquired in connection with an acquisition, mortgages payable and our senior notes and bonds payable, which are disclosed below (dollars in millions):

	Carrying value per		Estimated fair
At September 30, 2013	balance sheet		value
Notes receivable issued in connection with property sales	$	19.2	$	21.1
Note receivable issued in connection with an acquisition	8.8		8.8
Mortgages payable assumed in connection with acquisitions	811.1		798.1
Notes payable	3,200.0		3,369.1

	Carrying value per		Estimated fair
At December 31, 2012	balance sheet		value
Notes receivable issued in connection with property sales	$	19.3	$	20.5
Note receivable issued in connection with an acquisition	8.8		8.8
Mortgages payable assumed in connection with acquisitions	175.9		176.7
Notes payable	2,550.0		2,827.1

The estimated fair values of our notes receivable, issued in connection with property sales or acquired in connection with an acquisition, and our mortgages payable have been calculated by discounting the future cash flows using an interest rate based upon the current 5-year, 7-year or 10-year Treasury yield curve, plus an applicable credit-adjusted spread. Because this methodology includes unobservable inputs that reflect our own internal assumptions and calculations, the measurement of estimated fair values, related to our notes receivable and mortgages payable, is categorized as level three on the three-level valuation hierarchy.

The estimated fair value of our notes payable is based upon indicative market prices and recent trading activity of our senior notes and bonds payable. Because this methodology includes inputs that are less observable by the public and are not necessarily reflected in active markets, the measurement of the estimated fair values, related to our notes payable, is categorized as level two on the three-level valuation hierarchy.

14. Gain on Sales of Investment Properties

$106.1 million, which resulted in a gain of $50.5 million. The results of operations for these properties have been reclassified as discontinued operations.

In comparison, during the third quarter of 2012, we sold 11 investment properties for $15.8 million, which resulted in a gain of $2.0 million. During the first nine months of 2012, we sold 30 investment properties for $34.3 million, which resulted in a gain of $6.0 million. The results of operations for these properties have been reclassified as discontinued operations.

15. Discontinued Operations

We review long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. A provision is made for impairment if estimated future operating cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) plus estimated disposition proceeds (undiscounted) are less than the current book value of the property. Key factors that we estimate in this analysis include projected rental rates, estimated holding periods, capital expenditures and property sales capitalization rates. If a property is classified as held for sale, it is carried at the lower of carrying cost or estimated fair value, less estimated cost to sell.

Table of Contents

For the third quarter of 2013, we recorded total provisions for impairment of $76,000 on one sold property in the restaurant-casual dining industry. For the first nine months of 2013, we recorded total provisions for impairment of $3.0 million on seven sold properties, and two properties classified as held for sale, in the following industries: one in the automotive parts industry, two in the automotive service industry, two in the child care industry, one in the grocery store industry, one in the pet supplies and services industry, and two in the restaurant-casual dining industry. These provisions for impairment are included in income from discontinued operations on our consolidated statement of income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, we recorded total provisions for impairment of $667,000 on two properties, one in the convenience store industry and one in the automotive tire services industry, both of which were sold during 2012.

Operations from 22 Realty Income investment properties and two owned by our wholly owned taxable REIT subsidiary, Crest Net Lease, Inc., or Crest, investment properties classified as held for sale at September 30, 2013, plus properties previously sold, are reported as discontinued operations. Their respective results of operations have been reclassified as income from discontinued operations on our consolidated statements of income. We do not depreciate properties that are classified as held for sale.

No debt was assumed by buyers of our investment properties, or repaid as a result of our investment property sales, and we do not allocate interest expense to discontinued operations related to real estate held for investment. We allocate interest expense related to borrowings specifically attributable to Crest. The interest expense amounts allocated to Crest are included in income from discontinued operations.

The following is a summary of income from discontinued operations on our consolidated statements of income (dollars in thousands):

We are current in our obligations to pay dividends on our Class E and Class F preferred stock.

C. Tau Operating Partnership Common Units

As part of our acquisition of ARCT, we issued 317,022 common partnership units of Tau Operating Partnership. These common units are entitled to monthly distributions equivalent to the per common share amounts paid to the common stockholders of Realty Income. For the first nine months of 2013, we paid eight monthly distributions to holders of these common units totaling $1.4501461 per unit, or $460,000, and at September 30, 2013, a monthly distribution of $0.1818542 per common unit was payable and was paid in October 2013.

D. Realty Income, L.P. units

In June 2013, we issued 534,546 common partnership units of Realty Income, L.P. These common units are entitled to monthly distributions equivalent to the per common share amount paid to the common stockholders of Realty Income. For the first nine months of 2013, we paid three monthly distributions to holders of these common units totaling $0.5446251 per unit, or $291,000, and at September 30, 2013, a monthly distribution of $0.1818542 per common unit was payable and was paid in October 2013.

17. Net Income Per Common Share

Basic net income per common share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted net income per common share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders for the period by the weighted average number of common shares that would have been outstanding assuming the issuance of common shares for all potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the reporting period.

19. Segment Information

We evaluate performance and make resource allocation decisions on an industry by industry basis. For financial reporting purposes, we have grouped our tenants into 48 activity segments. All of the properties are incorporated into one of the applicable segments. Because almost all of our leases require the tenant to pay operating expenses, revenue is the only component of segment profit and loss we measure.

The following tables set forth certain information regarding the properties owned by us, classified according to the business of the respective tenants, as of September 30, 2013 (dollars in thousands):

20. Common Stock Incentive Plan

In 2012, our Board of Directors adopted and stockholders approved the Realty Income Corporation 2012 Incentive Award Plan, or the 2012 Plan, to enable us to motivate, attract and retain the services of directors, employees and consultants considered essential to our long-term success. The 2012 Plan offers our directors, employees and consultants an opportunity to own stock in Realty Income or rights that will reflect our growth, development and financial success. Under the terms of the 2012 Plan, the aggregate number of shares of our common stock subject to options, restricted stock, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock units and other awards, will be no more than 3,985,734 shares. The 2012 Plan has a term of 10 years from the date it was adopted by the Board of Directors.

The amount of share-based compensation costs recognized in general and administrative expense on our consolidated statements of income was $6.7 million during the third quarter of 2013, $2.2 million during the third quarter of 2012, $14.2 million during the first nine months of 2013, and $7.8 million during the first nine months of 2012.

The following table summarizes our common stock grant activity under the 2012 Plan and the previous 2003 Incentive Award Plan of Realty Income Corporation, or the 2003 Plan. Our common stock grants vest over periods ranging from immediately to five years.

(1) Grant date fair value.

During the first nine months of 2013, we issued 402,296 shares of common stock under the 2012 Plan. These shares vest over the following service periods: 25,662 vested immediately, 62,989 vest over a service period of one year, 12,000 vest over a service period of three years, 77,180 shares vest over a service period of four years, and 173,011 vest over a service period of five years. Additionally, 51,454 shares of performance-based common stock was granted, of which 12,864 shares may vest at the end of 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016, if certain performance metrics are reached.

As of September 30, 2013, the remaining unamortized share-based compensation expense totaled $20.4 million, which is being amortized on a straight-line basis over the service period of each applicable award.

Due to a historically low turnover rate, we do not estimate a forfeiture rate for our nonvested shares. Accordingly, unexpected forfeitures will lower share-based compensation expense during the applicable period. Under the terms of our 2012 and 2003 Plans, we pay non-refundable dividends to the holders of our nonvested shares. Applicable accounting guidance requires that the dividends paid to holders of these nonvested shares be charged as compensation expense to the extent that they relate to nonvested shares that do not or are not expected to vest. However, since we do not estimate forfeitures given our historical trends, we did not record any compensation expense related to dividends paid in the first nine months of 2013 or 2012.

The Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors approved, effective July 1, 2013, the accelerated vesting of each restricted stock award that had originally been granted with ten-year vesting to five years. On July 1, 2013, 212,827 restricted shares vested due to this acceleration, resulting in additional compensation expense of $3.7 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013.

In connection with his appointment to Chief Executive Officer in September 2013, John Case was granted 77,180 shares of restricted common stock that vest over a service period of four years. Additionally, Mr. Case was granted a performance-based restricted stock award of 51,454 shares of our restricted common stock. A portion of this performance-based award will vest each year on December 31, 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016, up to an aggregate of 12,864 shares of our common stock each year based on the achievement of seven annual performance metrics.

21. Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan

In March 2011, we established a Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan, or the DSPP, to provide our common stockholders, as well as new investors, with a convenient and economical method of purchasing our common stock and reinvesting their distributions. The DSPP also allows our current stockholders to buy additional shares of common stock by reinvesting all or a portion of their distributions.

Table of Contents

The DSPP authorizes up to 6,000,000 common shares to be issued. During the first nine months of 2013, we issued 89,975 shares and raised approximately $3.9 million under the DSPP. During the first nine months of 2012, we issued 55,598 shares and raised approximately $2.2 million under the DSPP. From the inception of the DSPP through September 30, 2013, we have issued 205,178 shares and raised approximately $8.1 million.

In March 2013, we updated our DSPP so that we are now paying for a majority of the plan-related fees, which were previously paid by the investors.

22. Commitments and Contingencies

In the ordinary course of business, we are party to various legal actions which we believe are routine in nature and incidental to the operation of our business. We believe that the outcome of the proceedings will not have a material adverse effect upon our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

At September 30, 2013, we have contingent payments of $1.9 million for tenant improvements and leasing costs. In addition, as of September 30, 2013, we had committed $8.8 million under construction contracts, which is expected to be paid in the next twelve months.

23. Subsequent Events

In October 2013, we declared the following dividends, which will be paid in November 2013:

- $0.1818542 per share to our common stockholders;

- $0.140625 per share to our Class E preferred stockholders; and

- $0.138021 per share to our Class F preferred stockholders.

In October 2013, we issued 9,775,000 shares of common stock at a price of $40.63 per share, including 1,275,000 shares purchased by the underwriters upon the exercise of their option to purchase additional shares. After underwriting discounts and other estimated offering costs of $18.8 million, the net proceeds of approximately $378.4 million were used to repay a portion of the borrowings under our acquisition credit facility, which were used to fund property acquisitions.

In October 2013, we amended our credit facility by increasing the borrowing capacity by $500 million to $1.5 billion. All other material business terms of the credit facility remain unchanged.

A discussion of certain legal proceedings related to our acquisition of ARCT, including the consolidated class action in the Circuit Court for Baltimore City, Maryland captioned In re American Capital Realty Trust, Inc. Shareholder Litigation, No. 24-C-12-005306 (the “Maryland State Action”), can be found under Part I, Item 3 “Legal Proceedings” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. By order dated July 23, 2013, the Maryland state court preliminarily approved the settlement set forth in the stipulation of the parties, preliminarily certified the class, and set a settlement hearing for October 24, 2013, at 9:30 a.m. Pursuant to the Maryland state court’s preliminary approval order, ARCT provided notice to its stockholders regarding the proposed settlement. At the settlement hearing on October 24, 2013, the Maryland state court certified the class, approved the settlement set forth in the stipulation as fair, reasonable, and adequate to ARCT’s shareholders, and entered final judgment dismissing the Maryland State Action with prejudice. In addition, the Maryland state court approved $512,751 in plaintiffs’ attorneys’ fees and expenses, to be paid pursuant to the parties’ stipulation, of which, approximately 25% would be paid by Realty Income and the remainder to be paid by ARCT’s insurer.

THE COMPANY

Realty Income Corporation, The Monthly Dividend Company®, or Realty Income, is a publicly traded real estate company with the primary business objective of generating dependable monthly cash dividends from a consistent and predictable level of cash flow from operations. Our monthly dividends are supported by the cash flow from our portfolio of properties leased to commercial enterprises. We have in-house acquisition, leasing, legal, credit research, real estate research, portfolio management and capital markets expertise. Over the past 44 years, Realty Income and its predecessors have been acquiring and owning freestanding commercial properties that generate rental revenue under long-term lease agreements.

In 1994, Realty Income was listed upon the New York Stock Exchange, or NYSE, and we elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, requiring us to distribute dividends to our stockholders aggregating at least 90% of our taxable income (excluding net capital gains).

We seek to increase distributions to stockholders and funds from operations, or FFO per share, through both active portfolio management and the acquisition of additional properties.

Generally, our portfolio management efforts seek to achieve:

· Contractual rent increases on existing leases;

· Rent increases at the termination of existing leases, when market conditions permit; and

· The active management of our property portfolio, including re-leasing vacant properties, and selectively selling properties, thereby mitigating our exposure to certain tenants and markets.

In acquiring additional properties, our strategy is primarily to acquire properties that are:

· Freestanding, single-tenant locations;

· Leased to regional and national commercial enterprises; and

· Leased under long-term, net-lease agreements.

At September 30, 2013, we owned a diversified portfolio:

· Of 3,866 properties;

· With an occupancy rate of 98.1%, or 3,793 properties leased and only 73 properties available for lease;

· Leased to 200 different commercial enterprises doing business in 47 separate industries;

· Located in 49 states and Puerto Rico;

· With over 61.2 million square feet of leasable space; and

· With an average leasable space per property of approximately 15,800 square feet.

Of the 3,866 properties in the portfolio, 3,846, or 99.5%, are single-tenant properties, and the remaining 20 are multi-tenant properties. At September 30, 2013, of the 3,846 single-tenant properties, 3,774 were leased with a weighted average remaining lease term (excluding rights to extend a lease at the option of the tenant) of approximately 10.9 years.

Investment Philosophy

We typically acquire properties under long-term leases with regional and national retailers and other commercial enterprises. We believe that owning an actively managed, diversified portfolio of commercial properties under long-term, net leases produces consistent and predictable income. Our acquisition and investment activities generally focus on businesses providing goods and services that satisfy basic consumer and business needs. Net leases typically require the tenant to be responsible for monthly rent and property operating expenses including property taxes, insurance and maintenance. In general, our net-lease agreements:

· Are for initial terms of 10 to 20 years;

Table of Contents

· Require the tenant to pay minimum monthly rent and property operating expenses (taxes, insurance and maintenance); and

· Provide for future rent increases based on increases in the consumer price index (typically subject to ceilings), additional rent calculated as a percentage of the tenants’ gross sales above a specified level, or fixed increases.

We believe that a portfolio of properties under long-term leases, coupled with the tenant’s responsibility for property expenses, generally produces a more predictable income stream than many other types of real estate portfolios, while continuing to offer the potential for growth in rental income.

We estimate that approximately 40% of our annualized rental revenue comes from properties leased to investment grade companies or their subsidiaries. At September 30, 2013, our top 15 tenants represent approximately 44% of our annualized revenue and eight of these 15 tenants have investment grade credit ratings.

Investment Strategy

When identifying new properties for acquisition, we generally focus on providing capital to owners and operators of commercial enterprises by acquiring the real estate they consider important to the successful operation of their business.

We primarily focus on acquiring properties leased to commercial enterprises based on the following guidelines:

· Tenants with reliable and sustainable cash flow;

· Tenants with revenue and cash flow from multiple sources;

· Large owners and users of real estate;

· Real estate that is critical to the tenant’s ability to generate revenue (i.e. they need the property in which they operate in order to conduct their business);

· Real estate and tenants that are willing to sign a long-term lease (10 or more years); and

· Property transactions where we can achieve an attractive spread over our cost of capital.

Historically, our investment focus has primarily been on retail enterprises that have a service component because we believe the lease revenue from these types of businesses is more stable. Because of this investment focus, for the quarter ended September 30, 2013, approximately 59.9% of our retail rental revenue was derived from tenants with a service component in their business. We believe these service-oriented businesses would generally be difficult to duplicate over the Internet and that our properties will continue to perform well relative to competition from Internet-based businesses.

Credit Strategy

We typically acquire and lease properties to regional and national commercial enterprises and believe that within this market we can achieve an attractive risk-adjusted return. Since 1970, our occupancy rate at the end of each year has never been below 96%.

We believe the principal financial obligations of most commercial enterprises typically include their bank and other debt, payment obligations to suppliers and real estate lease obligations. Because we typically own the land and building in which a tenant conducts its business or which are critical to the tenant’s ability to generate revenue, we believe the risk of default on a tenant’s lease obligations is less than the tenant’s unsecured general obligations. It has been our experience that since tenants must retain their profitable and critical locations in order to survive; in the event of reorganization they are less likely to reject a lease for a profitable and critical location because this would terminate their right to use the property. Thus, as the property owner, we believe we will fare better than unsecured creditors of the same tenant in the event of reorganization. If a property is rejected by the tenant during reorganization, we own the property and can either lease it to a new tenant or sell the property. In addition, we believe that the risk of default on the real estate leases can be further mitigated by monitoring the performance of the tenants’ individual locations and considering whether to sell locations that are weaker performers.

Table of Contents

In order to qualify for inclusion in our portfolio, new property acquisitions must meet stringent investment and credit requirements. The properties must generate attractive current yields and the tenant must meet our credit profile. We have established a four-part analysis that examines each potential investment based on:

· Industry, company, market conditions and credit profile;

· Store profitability for retail locations, if profitability data is available;

· The importance of the real estate location to the operations of the company’s business; and

· Overall real estate characteristics, including property value, replacement costs and comparative rental rates.

Prior to entering into any transaction, our investment professionals, assisted by our research department, conduct a review of a tenant’s credit quality. The information reviewed may include reports and filings, including any public credit ratings, financial statements, debt and equity analyst reports, and reviews of corporate credit spreads, stock prices, market capitalization and other financial metrics. We conduct additional due diligence, including additional financial reviews of the tenant and a more comprehensive review of the business segment and industry in which the tenant operates. We continue to monitor our tenants’ credit quality on an ongoing basis by reviewing the available information previously discussed, and providing summaries of these findings to management.

Acquisition Strategy

We seek to invest in industries in which several, well-organized, regional and national commercial enterprises are capturing market share through service, quality control, economies of scale, strong consumer brands, advertising, and the selection of prime locations. Our acquisition strategy is to act as a source of capital to regional and national commercial enterprises by acquiring and leasing back their real estate locations. In addition, we frequently acquire large portfolios of properties net leased to multiple tenants in a variety of industries. We undertake thorough research and analysis to identify what we consider to be appropriate industries, tenants and property locations for investment. Our research expertise is instrumental to uncovering net-lease opportunities in markets where our real estate financing program adds value. In selecting potential investments, we generally seek to acquire real estate that has the following characteristics:

· Properties that are freestanding, commercially-zoned with a single tenant;

· Properties that are important locations for regional and national commercial enterprises;

· Properties that we deem to be profitable for the tenants and/or can generally be characterized as important to the operations of the company’s business;

· Properties that are located within attractive demographic areas, relative to the business of our tenants, with high visibility and easy access to major thoroughfares; and

· Properties that can be purchased with the simultaneous execution or assumption of long-term, net-lease agreements, offering both current income and the potential for rent increases.

Portfolio Management Strategy

The active management of the property portfolio is an essential component of our long-term strategy. We continually monitor our portfolio for any changes that could affect the performance of the industries, tenants and locations in which we have invested. We also regularly analyze our portfolio with a view toward optimizing its returns and enhancing our credit quality.

Our executives regularly review and analyze:

· The performance of the various industries of our tenants; and

· The operation, management, business planning and financial condition of our tenants.

Table of Contents

We have an active portfolio management program that incorporates the sale of assets when we believe the reinvestment of the sale proceeds will:

· Generate higher returns;

· Enhance the credit quality of our real estate portfolio;

· Extend our average remaining lease term; or

· Decrease tenant or industry concentration.

At September 30, 2013, we classified real estate with a carrying amount of $17.3 million as held for sale on our balance sheet. During the first nine months of 2013, we sold 53 investment properties for $106.1 million. For the remainder of 2013, we intend to continue our active disposition efforts to further enhance the credit quality of our real estate portfolio and anticipate exceeding $125 million in property sales for all of 2013. We intend to invest these proceeds into new property acquisitions, if there are attractive opportunities available. However, we cannot guarantee that we will sell properties during the next 12 months at our estimated values or be able to invest the property sale proceeds in new properties.

Impact of Real Estate and Credit Markets

In the commercial real estate market, property prices generally continue to fluctuate. Likewise, during certain periods, the U.S. credit markets have experienced significant price volatility, dislocations and liquidity disruptions, which may impact our access to and cost of capital. We continually monitor the commercial real estate and U.S. credit markets carefully and, if required, will make decisions to adjust our business strategy accordingly.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

Increases in Monthly Dividends to Common Stockholders

We have continued our 44-year policy of paying monthly dividends. Monthly dividends per common share increased by $0.0291667 in February 2013 to $0.1809167, increased by $0.0003125 in April 2013 to $0.1812292 per share, increased by $0.0003125 in July 2013 to $0.1815417, and increased by $0.0003125 in October 2013 to $0.1818542 per share. The increase in October 2013 was our 64th consecutive quarterly increase and the 73rd increase in the amount of our dividend since our listing on the NYSE in 1994. In the first ten months of 2013, we paid one monthly cash dividend per common share of $0.15175, two monthly cash dividends per common share in the amount of $0.1809167, three monthly cash dividends per common share in the amount of $0.1812292, three monthly cash dividends per common share in the amount of $0.1815417, and one monthly cash dividend per common share in the amount of $0.1818542, totaling $1.7837503 per common share. In October 2013, we declared dividends of $0.1818542 per share, which will be paid in November 2013.

The current monthly dividend of $0.1818542 per share represents a current annualized dividend of $2.1822504 per share, and an annualized dividend yield of approximately 5.5% based on the closing sale price of our common stock on the NYSE of $39.75 on September 30, 2013. Although we expect to continue our policy of paying monthly dividends, we cannot guarantee that we will maintain our current level of dividends, that we will continue our pattern of increasing dividends per share, or what our actual dividend yield will be in any future period.

Acquisitions during the Third Quarter of 2013

During the third quarter of 2013, we invested $502.7 million in 219 new properties and properties under development or expansion, with an estimated initial weighted average contractual lease rate of 7.1%. The 219 new properties and properties under development or expansion are located in 33 states, will contain over 2.8 million leasable square feet and are 100% leased, with an average lease term of 14.7 years. The tenants occupying the new properties operate in 15 industries and the property types consist of 80.7% retail, 18.9% office, and 0.4% industrial and distribution, based on rental revenue.

Table of Contents

Acquisitions during the First Nine Months of 2013

During the first nine months of 2013, we invested $1.37 billion in 407 new properties and properties under development or expansion (excluding American Realty Capital Trust, Inc., or ARCT), with an estimated initial weighted average contractual lease rate of 7.0%. The 407 new properties and properties under development or expansion are located in 40 states, will contain over 8.0 million leasable square feet, and are 100% leased with a weighted average lease term of 14.1 years. The tenants occupying the new properties operate in 21 industries and the property types consist of 84.1% retail, 10.4% office, 3.1% industrial and distribution, and 2.4% manufacturing, based on rental revenue.

During the first nine months of 2013, we also completed our acquisition of ARCT for approximately $3.2 billion. Each outstanding share of ARCT common stock was converted into the right to receive a combination of: (i) $0.35 in cash and (ii) 0.2874 shares of our common stock, resulting in the issuance of a total of approximately 45.6 million shares of our common stock to ARCT shareholders, valued at a per share amount of $44.04, which was the closing sale price of our common stock on January 22, 2013. In connection with the acquisition, at the closing we terminated and repaid the amounts then outstanding of approximately $552.9 million under ARCT’s revolving credit facility and term loan. In connection with our acquisition of ARCT, we assumed approximately $516.3 million of mortgages payable. We incurred merger costs of $12.9 million and $5.5 million, respectively in the first nine months of 2013 and 2012. We anticipate that the total merger costs will be approximately $21 million.

The acquisition of ARCT provided immediate and long-term benefits to Realty Income, including accretion to net earnings, growth in the size of our real estate portfolio, diversification of industries and property type, increase in the percentage of investment grade tenants, and larger size and scope of our company, which increases competitive advantages in the net-lease marketplace.

Our acquisition of ARCT added 515 properties to our real estate portfolio. The 515 properties are located in 44 states and Puerto Rico, contain over 16.0 million leasable square feet and are 100% leased with a weighted average lease term of 12.2 years. The 69 tenants, occupying the 515 properties acquired, operate in 28 industries and the property types consist of 53.5% retail, 32.0% industrial and distribution, and 14.5% office, based on rental revenue.

Our combined total investment in real estate assets during the first nine months of 2013 was $4.52 billion. None of our real estate investments, during the first nine months of 2013, caused any one tenant to be 10% or more of our total assets at September 30, 2013.

In the case of a property under development or expansion, the estimated initial weighted average contractual lease rate is computed as follows: estimated net operating income (which is calculated by multiplying the capitalization rate determined by the lease by our projected total investment in the property, including land, construction and capitalized interest costs) for the first full year of each lease, divided by such projected total investment in the property. Of the $4.52 billion we invested in the first nine months of 2013, $28.8 million was invested in 19 properties under development or expansion, with an estimated initial weighted average contractual lease rate of 8.5%. We may continue to pursue development or expansion opportunities under similar arrangements in the future.

John P. Case Appointed Chief Executive Officer (CEO)

On September 3, 2013, we announced that our Board of Directors had appointed John P. Case to the position of CEO of the Company. Mr. Case, who had previously served as President and Chief Investment Officer, succeeds Tom A. Lewis, who retired as our CEO. Mr. Lewis, who had been our CEO since 1997, will remain with us until early next year to assist with the transition, and continues to serve as Vice Chairman of our Board of Directors. With this appointment, Mr. Case became only the third CEO in Realty Income’s 44-year history.

Portfolio Discussion

Leasing Results

At September 30, 2013, we had 73 properties available for lease out of 3,866 properties in our portfolio, which represents a 98.1% occupancy rate. Since December 31, 2012, when we reported 84 properties available for lease and a 97.2% occupancy rate, we:

· Leased 20 properties;

· Sold 14 properties available for lease; and

· Have 23 new properties available for lease.

During the first nine months of 2013, 98 properties with expiring leases were leased to either existing or new tenants. The annual rent on these leases was $12.4 million, as compared to the previous rent on these same properties of $12.1 million. At September 30, 2013, our average annualized rental revenue was approximately $13.27 per square foot on the 3,793 leased properties in our portfolio. At September 30, 2013, we classified 24 properties with a carrying amount of $17.3 million as held for sale on our balance sheet.

Investments in Existing Properties

In the third quarter of 2013, we capitalized costs of $2.6 million on existing properties in our portfolio, consisting of $369,000 for re-leasing costs and $2.2 million for building and tenant improvements. In the third quarter of 2012, we capitalized costs of $2.1 million on existing properties in our portfolio, consisting of $521,000 for re-leasing costs and $1.6 million for building and tenant improvements.

In the first nine months of 2013, we capitalized costs of $5.9 million on existing properties in our portfolio, consisting of $1.1 million for re-leasing costs and $4.8 million for building and tenant improvements. In the first nine months of 2012, we capitalized costs of $4.5 million on existing properties in our portfolio, consisting of $1.2 million for re-leasing costs and $3.3 million for building and tenant improvements. As part of our re-leasing costs, we pay leasing commissions and sometimes provide tenant rent concessions. Leasing commissions are paid based on the commercial real estate industry standard and any rent concessions provided are minimal. We do not consider the collective impact of the leasing commissions or tenant rent concessions to be material to our financial position or results of operations.

The majority of our building and tenant improvements relate to roof repairs, HVAC improvements, and parking lot resurfacing and replacements. It is not customary for us to offer significant tenant improvements on our properties as tenant incentives. The amounts of our capital expenditures can vary significantly, depending on the rental market, credit worthiness, and the willingness of tenants to pay higher rents over the terms of the leases.

Amendment to Credit Facility

In October 2013, we amended our credit facility by increasing the borrowing capacity by $500 million to $1.5 billion. On October 29, 2013, the available borrowing capacity under our acquisition credit facility was approximately $1.4 billion, after the expansion of the credit facility and paying down borrowings with proceeds from our stock offering in October 2013. All other material business terms of the credit facility remain unchanged.

Table of Contents

Note Issuance

In July 2013, we issued $750 million of 4.65% senior unsecured notes due August 2023, or the 2023 Notes. The price to the investors for the 2023 Notes was 99.775% of the principal amount for an effective yield of 4.678% per annum. The total net proceeds of approximately $741.4 million from these offerings were used to repay all outstanding borrowings under our acquisition credit facility, and the remaining proceeds were used for general corporate purposes, including additional property acquisitions. Interest is paid semiannually on the 2023 Notes.

Accelerated Stock Vesting

The Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors approved, effective July 1, 2013, the accelerated vesting of each restricted stock award that had originally been granted with ten-year vesting to five years. On July 1, 2013, 212,827 restricted shares vested as a result of this acceleration, resulting in additional compensation expense of $3.7 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013.

Issuance of Common Stock

In March 2013, we issued 17,250,000 shares of common stock at a price of $45.90 per share. After underwriting discounts and other offering costs of $36.7 million, the net proceeds of $755.1 million were used to redeem our 5.375% notes in March 2013 and repay borrowings under our acquisition credit facility, which were used to fund property acquisitions, including our acquisition of ARCT.

In connection with our January 2013 acquisition of ARCT, we issued a total of 45,573,144 shares of our common stock to ARCT shareholders and redeemed 208,709 shares of our common stock that were previously held by ARCT.

Note Repayment

In March 2013, we repaid the $100 million of outstanding 5.375% notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, using proceeds from our March 2013 common stock offering and our credit facility.

Term Loan

In January 2013, in conjunction with our acquisition of ARCT, we entered into a $70 million senior unsecured term loan maturing January 21, 2018, to partially repay the then outstanding ARCT term loan. Borrowing under the term loan bears interest at LIBOR, plus 1.20%. In conjunction with this term loan, we also acquired an interest rate swap which essentially fixes our per annum interest rate on the term loan at 2.15%.

Noncontrolling Interests

As consideration for two separate acquisitions during the first nine months of 2013, partnership interests of Tau Operating Partnership, L.P. and Realty Income, L.P. were issued to third parties. These units (discussed in the following paragraphs below) do not have voting rights, are entitled to monthly distributions equal to the amount paid to our common stockholders, and are redeemable in cash or our common stock, at our option and at a conversion ratio of one to one, subject to certain exceptions. As the general partner for each of these partnerships, we have operating and financial control over these entities and consolidate them in our financial statements and recorded as noncontrolling interests the partnership units held by third parties.

Table of Contents

Issuance of Common and Preferred Units

In connection with our acquisition of ARCT in January 2013, we issued 317,022 common partnership units and 6,750 preferred partnership units. These common units are entitled to monthly distributions equivalent to the per common share amounts paid to the common stockholders of Realty Income. The preferred units have a par value of $1,000, and are entitled to monthly payments at a rate of 2% per annum, or $135,000 per year.

Universal Shelf Registration

In February 2013, we filed a shelf registration statement with the SEC, which is effective for a term of three years and will expire in February 2016. This replaces our prior shelf registration statement. In accordance with SEC rules, the amount of securities to be issued pursuant to this shelf registration statement was not specified when it was filed and there is no specific dollar limit. The securities covered by this registration statement include (1) common stock, (2) preferred stock, (3) debt securities, (4) depositary shares representing fractional interests in shares of preferred stock, (5) warrants to purchase debt securities, common stock, preferred stock or depositary shares, and (6) any combination of these securities. We may periodically offer one or more of these securities in amounts, prices and on terms to be announced when and if the securities are offered. The specifics of any future offerings, along with the use of proceeds of any securities offered, will be described in detail in a prospectus supplement, or other offering materials, at the time of any offering.

Net Income Available to Common Stockholders

Net income available to common stockholders was $41.1 million in the third quarter of 2013, compared to $27.0 million in the third quarter of 2012, an increase of $14.1 million. On a diluted per common share basis, net income was $0.21 in the third quarter of 2013, compared to $0.20 in the third quarter of 2012.

Net income available to common stockholders was $149.8 million in the first nine months of 2013, compared to $86.0 million in the first nine months of 2012, an increase of $63.8 million. On a diluted per common share basis, net income available to common stockholders was $0.80 in the first nine months of 2013, as compared to $0.65 in the first nine months of 2012. Net income available to common stockholders in the first nine months of 2013 includes $12.9 million of merger-related costs for the acquisitions of ARCT, which represents $0.07 on a diluted per common share basis, and $3.7 million for accelerated vesting of restricted shares that occurred in July 2013 from ten-year vesting to five years, which represents $0.02 on a diluted per common share basis. Net income available to common stockholders in the first nine months of 2012 includes $5.5 million of merger-related costs for the acquisition of ARCT, which represents $0.04 on a diluted per common share basis, and a $3.7 million charge for the excess of redemption value over carrying value of the Class D preferred shares, which represents $0.03 on a diluted per common share basis.

The calculation to determine net income available to common stockholders includes gains from the sale of properties. The amount of gains varies from period to period based on the timing of property sales and can significantly impact net income available to common stockholders.

Gains from the sale of properties during the third quarter of 2013 were $6.2 million, as compared to $2.0 million during the third quarter of 2012. Gains from the sale of properties during the first nine months of 2013 were $50.5 million, as compared to $6.0 million during the first nine months of 2012.

Funds from Operations Available to Common Stockholders (FFO) and Normalized Funds from Operations Available to Common Stockholders (Normalized FFO)

In the third quarter of 2013, our FFO increased by $52.5 million, or 82.8%, to $115.9 million, compared to $63.4 million in the third quarter of 2012. On a diluted per common share basis, FFO was $0.59 in the third quarter of 2013 and $0.48 in the third quarter of 2012, an increase of 22.9%.

Table of Contents

In the first nine months of 2013, our FFO increased by $135.2 million, or 71.4%, to $324.5 million, compared to $189.3 million in the first nine months of 2012. On a diluted per common share basis, FFO was $1.72 in the first nine months of 2013, and $1.42 in the first nine months of 2012, an increase of 21.1%. FFO, in the first nine months of 2013, includes $12.9 million of merger-related costs, which represents $0.07 on a diluted per common share basis, and $3.7 million for accelerated vesting of restricted shares that occurred in July 2013 from ten-year vesting to five years, which represents $0.02 on a diluted per common share basis. FFO, in the first nine months of 2012, includes $5.5 million of merger-related costs, which represents $0.04 on a diluted per common share basis, and a $3.7 million charge for the excess of redemption value over carrying value of the shares of our Class D preferred stock, which represents $0.03 on a diluted per common share basis.

We define normalized FFO as FFO excluding the merger-related costs for our acquisition of ARCT. In the third quarter of 2013, our normalized FFO increased by $47.2 million, or 68.5%, to $116.1 million, compared to $68.9 million in the third quarter of 2012. On a diluted per common share basis, normalized FFO was $0.59 in the third quarter of 2013 and $0.52 in the third quarter of 2012, an increase of 13.5%. In the first nine months of 2013, our normalized FFO increased by $142.6 million, or 73.2%, to $337.4 million, as compared to $194.8 million in the first nine months of 2012. On a diluted per common share basis, normalized FFO was $1.79 in the first nine months of 2013, as compared to $1.47 in the first nine months of 2012, an increase of 21.8%.

See our discussion of FFO and normalized FFO (which are not financial measures under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP), later in this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” which includes a reconciliation of net income available to common stockholders to FFO and normalized FFO.

Adjusted Funds from Operations Available to Common Stockholders (AFFO)

In the third quarter of 2013, our AFFO increased by $49.4 million, or 72.1%, to $117.9 million, compared to $68.5 million in the third quarter of 2012. On a diluted common share basis, AFFO was $0.60 in the third quarter of 2013, and $0.52 in the third quarter of 2012, an increase of 15.4%.

In the first nine months of 2013, our AFFO increased by $136.1 million, or 67.6%, to $337.4 million, compared to $201.3 million in the first nine months of 2012. On a diluted per common share basis, AFFO was $1.79 in the first nine months of 2013, and $1.52 in the first nine months of 2012, an increase of 17.8%.

See our discussion of AFFO (which is not a financial measure under GAAP), later in this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” which includes a reconciliation of net income available to common stockholders to FFO, normalized FFO and AFFO.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Capital Philosophy

Historically, we have met our long-term capital needs by issuing common stock, preferred stock and long-term unsecured notes and bonds. Over the long term, we believe that common stock should be the majority of our capital structure. However, we may issue additional preferred stock or debt securities from time to time. We may issue common stock when we believe that our share price is at a level that allows for the proceeds of any offering to be accretively invested into additional properties. In addition, we may issue common stock to permanently finance properties that were financed by our credit facility or debt securities. However, we cannot assure you that we will have access to the capital markets at times and at terms that are acceptable to us.

Table of Contents

Our primary cash obligations, for the current year and subsequent years, are included in the “Table of Obligations,” which is presented later in this section. We expect to fund our operating expenses and other short-term liquidity requirements, including property acquisitions and development costs, payment of principal and interest on our outstanding indebtedness, property improvements, re-leasing costs and cash distributions to common and preferred stockholders, primarily through cash provided by operating activities, borrowing on our $1 billion credit facility, and periodically through public securities offerings.

Conservative Capital Structure

We believe that our stockholders are best served by a conservative capital structure. Therefore, we seek to maintain a conservative debt level on our balance sheet and solid interest and fixed charge coverage ratios. At September 30, 2013, our total outstanding borrowings of senior unsecured notes, term loan, mortgages payable and credit facility borrowings were $4.55 billion, or approximately 35.0% of our total market capitalization of $13.02 billion.

We define our total market capitalization at September 30, 2013 as the sum of:

· Shares of our common stock outstanding of 196,334,470, plus total common units of 851,568, multiplied by the closing sales price of our common stock on the NYSE of $39.75 per share on September 30, 2013, or $7.84 billion;

· Aggregate liquidation value (par value of $25 per share) of the Class E preferred stock of

$220 million;

· Aggregate liquidation value (par value of $25 per share) of the Class F preferred stock of $408.8 million;

· Outstanding borrowings of $468.4 million on our credit facility;

· Outstanding mortgages payable of $811.1 million;

· Outstanding borrowings of $70.0 million on our term loan; and

· Outstanding senior unsecured notes and bonds of $3.2 billion.

Cash Reserves

We are organized to operate as an equity REIT that acquires and leases properties and distributes to stockholders, in the form of monthly cash distributions, a substantial portion of our net cash flow generated from leases on our properties. We intend to retain an appropriate amount of cash as working capital. At September 30, 2013, we had cash and cash equivalents totaling $10.0 million.

We believe that our cash and cash equivalents on hand, cash provided from operating activities, and borrowing capacity is sufficient to meet our liquidity needs for the next twelve months. We intend, however, to use permanent or long-term capital to fund property acquisitions and to repay future borrowings under our credit facility.

$1.5 Billion Acquisition Credit Facility

Prior to October 29, 2013, we had a $1.0 billion unsecured acquisition credit facility, with an initial term that expires in May 2016, and includes, at our election, a one-year extension option. On October 29, 2013, we amended our credit facility to increase the borrowing capacity by $500 million to $1.5 billion. All other material business terms of the credit facility remain unchanged. Under this credit facility, our current investment grade credit ratings provide for financing at the London Interbank Offered Rate, commonly referred to as LIBOR, plus 1.075% with a facility commitment fee of 0.175%, for all-in drawn pricing of 1.25% over LIBOR. The borrowing rate is not subject to an interest rate floor or ceiling. We also have other interest rate options available to us. Our credit facility is unsecured and, accordingly, we have not pledged any assets as collateral for this obligation. At September 30, 2013, we had a borrowing capacity of $531.6 million available on our credit facility (subject to customary conditions to borrowing) and an outstanding balance of $468.4 million. On October 29, 2013, the available borrowing capacity under our acquisition credit facility was approximately $1.4 billion, after the expansion of the credit facility and paying down borrowings with proceeds from our stock offering in October 2013. The interest rate on borrowings outstanding under our credit facility, at September 30, 2013, was 1.3% per annum. We must comply with various financial and other covenants in our credit facility. At September 30, 2013, we remain in compliance with these covenants.

We expect to use our credit facility to acquire additional properties and for other corporate purposes. Any additional borrowings will increase our exposure to interest rate risk. We regularly review our credit facility and may seek to extend or replace our credit facility, to the extent we deem appropriate.

We generally use our credit facility for the short-term financing of new property acquisitions. Thereafter, when capital is available on acceptable terms, we generally seek to refinance those borrowings with the net proceeds of long-term or permanent financing, which may include the issuance of common stock, preferred stock or debt securities. We cannot assure you, however, that we will be able to obtain any such refinancing, or that market conditions prevailing at the time of the refinancing will enable us to issue equity or debt securities upon acceptable terms.

Mortgage Debt

As of September 30, 2013, we had $779.7 million of mortgages payable, which were assumed in connection with our property acquisitions. Included in this amount is $515.0 million of mortgages payable assumed in connection with the ARCT acquisition. Additionally, at September 30, 2013, we had net premiums totaling $31.4 million on these mortgages, of which $17.9 million is in connection with the ARCT acquisition. During the first nine months of 2013, we made $16.2 million of principal payments. As of September 30, 2013, the weighted average stated interest rate of our mortgages payable was 5.4% and the weighted average remaining years until maturity was 4.1 years.

We expect to pay off the mortgages payable as soon as prepayment penalties have declined to a level that will make it economically feasible to do so. We intend to continue to primarily identify property acquisitions that are free from mortgage indebtedness. In August 2013, we repaid one mortgage in full for $11.7 million.

Term Loan

In January 2013, in conjunction with our acquisition of ARCT, we entered into a $70 million senior unsecured term loan maturing in January 2018. Borrowing under the term loan bears interest at LIBOR, plus 1.20%. In conjunction with this term loan, we also acquired an interest rate swap which essentially fixes our per annum interest rate on the term loan at 2.15%.

$100 million of our 5.375% notes, at maturity, by utilizing proceeds from our March common stock offering and our credit facility.

All of our outstanding notes and bonds have fixed interest rates. Interest on all of our senior note and

Table of Contents

bond obligations is paid semiannually. All of these notes and bonds contain various covenants. At September 30, 2013, we remain in compliance with these covenants.

The following is a summary of the key financial covenants for our senior unsecured notes, as defined and calculated per the terms of our notes. These calculations, which are not based on U.S. GAAP measurements, are presented to investors to show our ability to incur additional debt under the terms of our notes only and are not measures of our liquidity or performance. The actual amounts as of September 30, 2013 are:

Note Covenants	Required	Actual

Limitation on incurrence of total debt	< 60% of adjusted assets	45.8%
Limitation on incurrence of secured debt	< 40% of adjusted assets	8.2%
Debt service coverage (trailing 12 months)(1)	> 1.5 x	3.5x
Maintenance of total unencumbered assets	> 150% of unsecured debt	227.8%

(1)This covenant is calculated on a pro forma basis for the preceding four-quarter period on the assumption that: (i) the incurrence of any Debt (as defined in the covenants) incurred by us since the first day of such four-quarter period and the application of the proceeds therefrom (including to refinance other Debt since the first day of such four-quarter period), (ii) the repayment or retirement of any of our other Debt since the first day of such four-quarter period, and (iii) any acquisition or disposition by us of any asset or group of assets since the first day of such four-quarters had in each case occurred on October 1, 2012, and subject to certain additional adjustments. Such pro forma ratio has been prepared on the basis required by that debt service covenant, reflects various estimates and assumptions and is subject to other uncertainties, and therefore does not purport to reflect what our actual debt service coverage ratio would have been had transactions referred to in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of the preceding sentence occurred as of October 1, 2012, nor does it purport to reflect our debt service coverage ratio for any future period. In addition, as noted above, the debt service coverage ratio set forth under the caption “Actual” in the above table does not give effect to the repayment of a portion of our acquisition credit facility using the net proceeds from the issuance of our common stock in October 2013. The following is our calculation of debt service coverage at September 30, 2013 (in thousands, for trailing twelve months):

Net income	$	220,252
Plus: interest expense	158,865
Plus: provision for taxes	1,884
Plus: depreciation and amortization	265,550
Plus: provisions for impairment	7,500
Plus: pro forma adjustments	118,157
Less: gain on sales of investment properties	(54,330		)
Income available for debt service, as defined	$	717,878
Total pro forma debt service charge	$	203,108
Debt service coverage ratio	3.5

Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio

Fixed charge coverage ratio is calculated in exactly the same manner as the debt service coverage ratio, except that preferred stock dividends are also added to the denominator. We consider fixed charge coverage ratio to be an appropriate supplemental measure of a company’s ability to make its interest and preferred stock dividend payments. Our calculation of the fixed charge coverage ratio may be different from the calculation used by other companies and, therefore, comparability may be limited. This information should not be considered as an alternative to any GAAP liquidity measures. Below is our calculation of fixed charges at September 30, 2013 (in thousands, for trailing twelve months):

Income available for debt service, as defined	$	717,878
Pro forma debt service charge plus preferred stock dividends	245,037
Fixed charge coverage ratio	2.9

Credit Agency Ratings

The borrowing interest rates under our credit facility are based upon our ratings assigned by credit rating agencies. We are currently assigned the following investment grade corporate credit ratings on our senior unsecured notes and bonds: Fitch Ratings has assigned a rating of BBB+ with a “stable” outlook, Moody’s Investors Service has assigned a rating of Baa1 with a “stable” outlook, and Standard & Poor’s Ratings Group has assigned a rating of BBB+ with a “stable” outlook.

Based on our current ratings, the current facility interest rate is LIBOR plus 1.075% with a facility commitment fee of 0.175%, for all-in drawn pricing of 1.25% over LIBOR. The credit facility provides that the interest rate can range between: (i) LIBOR plus 1.85% if our credit rating is lower than BBB-/Baa3 and (ii) LIBOR plus 1.00% if our credit rating is A-/A3 or higher. In addition, our credit facility provides for a facility commitment fee based on our credit ratings, which range from (i) 0.45% for a rating lower than BBB-/Baa3, and (ii) 0.15% for a credit rating of A-/A3 or higher.

We also issue senior debt securities from time to time and our credit ratings can impact the interest rates charged in those transactions. If our credit ratings or ratings outlook change, our cost to obtain debt financing could increase or decrease.

The credit ratings assigned to us could change based upon, among other things, our results of operations and financial condition. These ratings are subject to ongoing evaluation by credit rating agencies and we cannot assure you that our ratings will not be changed or withdrawn by a rating agency in the future if, in its judgment, circumstances warrant. Moreover, a rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold our debt securities, preferred stock or common stock.

(1) The initial term of the credit facility expires in May 2016 and includes, at our option, a one-year extension.

(2) Excludes non-cash net premiums recorded on the mortgages payable. The unamortized balance of these net premiums at September 30, 2013, is $31.4 million.

(3) Interest on the term loan, notes, bonds and mortgages payable has been calculated based on outstanding balances as of September 30, 2013 through their respective maturity dates.

(4) Realty Income currently pays the ground lessors directly for the rent under the ground leases.

(5) Our tenants, who are generally sub-tenants under ground leases, are responsible for paying the rent under these ground leases. In the event a tenant fails to pay the ground lease rent, we are primarily responsible.

(6) “Other” consists of $8.8 million of commitments under construction contracts and $1.9 million of contingent payments for tenant improvements and leasing costs.

Our credit facility and notes payable obligations are unsecured. Accordingly, we have not pledged any assets as collateral for these obligations.

Preferred Stock and Preferred Units Outstanding

In 2006, we issued 8.8 million shares of our 6.75% Monthly Income Class E Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock. Beginning December 7, 2011, shares of Class E preferred stock were redeemable at our option for $25.00 per share, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends. Dividends on shares of Class E preferred stock are paid monthly in arrears.

In February 2012, we issued 14.95 million shares of our 6.625% Monthly Income Class F Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock at $25.00 per share. In April 2012, we issued an additional 1.4 million shares of Class F Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock at $25.2863 per share. Beginning February 15, 2017, shares of our Class F preferred stock are redeemable at our option for $25.00 per share, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends. Dividends on the shares of Class F preferred shares are paid monthly in arrears.

We are current in our obligations to pay dividends on our Class E and Class F preferred stock.

As part of our acquisition of ARCT in January 2013, we issued 6,750 partnership units. Payments on these preferred units are made monthly in arrears at rate of 2% per annum, or $135,000 per year, and are included in interest expense.

No Unconsolidated Investments

We have no unconsolidated investments, nor do we engage in trading activities involving energy or commodity contracts.

Dividend Policy

Distributions are paid monthly to our common, Class E preferred and Class F preferred stockholders if, and when, declared by our Board of Directors.

Distributions are paid monthly to the limited partners holding common units of Tau Operating Partnership, L.P. and Realty Income, L.P., each on a per unit basis that is generally equal to the amount paid per share to our common stockholders.

In order to maintain our status as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, we generally are required to distribute dividends to our stockholders aggregating annually at least 90% of our taxable income (excluding net capital gains), and we are subject to income tax to the extent we distribute less than 100% of our taxable income (including net capital gains). In 2012, our cash distributions to preferred and common stockholders totaled $275.8 million, or approximately 130.9% of our taxable income of $210.7 million. Our taxable income reflects non-cash deductions for depreciation and amortization. Our taxable income is presented to show our compliance with REIT dividend requirements and is not a measure of our liquidity or operating performance. We intend to continue to make distributions to our stockholders that are sufficient to meet this dividend requirement and that will reduce or eliminate our exposure to income taxes. Furthermore, we believe our funds from operations are more than sufficient to support our current level of cash distributions to our stockholders. Our cash distributions to common stockholders, for the first nine months of 2013, totaled $298.5 million, representing 88.5% of our adjusted funds from operations available to common stockholders of $337.4 million. In comparison, our 2012 cash distributions to common stockholders totaled $236.3 million, representing 86.2% of our adjusted funds from operations available to common stockholders of $274.2 million.

The Class E preferred stockholders receive cumulative distributions at a rate of 6.75% per annum on the $25.00 per share liquidation preference (equivalent to $1.6875 per annum per share). The Class F preferred stockholders receive cumulative distributions at a rate of 6.625% per annum on the $25.00 per share liquidation preference (equivalent to $1.65625 per annum per share). Dividends on our Class E and Class F preferred stock are current.

Table of Contents

Future distributions will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend on, among other things, our results of operations, FFO, normalized FFO, AFFO, cash flow from operations, financial condition, capital requirements, the annual distribution requirements under the REIT provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, our debt service requirements and any other factors the Board of Directors may deem relevant. In addition, our credit facility contains financial covenants that could limit the amount of distributions payable by us in the event of a default, and which prohibit the payment of distributions on the common or preferred stock in the event that we fail to pay when due (subject to any applicable grace period) any principal or interest on borrowings under our credit facility.

Distributions of our current and accumulated earnings and profits for federal income tax purposes generally will be taxable to stockholders as ordinary income, except to the extent that we recognize capital gains and declare a capital gains dividend, or that such amounts constitute “qualified dividend income” subject to a reduced rate of tax. The maximum federal income tax rate of non-corporate taxpayers for “qualified dividend income” is generally 20%. In general, dividends payable by REITs are not eligible for the reduced tax rate on qualified dividend income, except to the extent that certain holding requirements have been met with respect to the REIT’s stock and the REIT’s dividends are attributable to dividends received from certain taxable corporations (such as our taxable REIT subsidiaries) or to income that was subject to tax at the corporate or REIT level (for example, if we distribute taxable income that we retained and paid tax on in the prior taxable year).

Distributions in excess of earnings and profits generally will first be treated as a non-taxable reduction in the stockholders’ basis in their stock, but not below zero. Distributions in excess of that basis, generally, will be taxable as a capital gain to stockholders who hold their shares as a capital asset. Approximately 24.5% of the distributions to our common stockholders, made or deemed to have been made in 2012, were classified as a return of capital for federal income tax purposes. We estimate that in 2013, between 15% and 25% of the distributions may be classified as a return of capital.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Critical Accounting Policies

Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, and are the basis for our discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations. Preparing our consolidated financial statements requires us to make a number of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. We believe that we have made these estimates and assumptions in an appropriate manner and in a way that accurately reflects our financial condition. We continually test and evaluate these estimates and assumptions using our historical knowledge of the business, as well as other factors, to ensure that they are reasonable for reporting purposes. However, actual results may differ from these estimates and assumptions. This summary should be read in conjunction with the more complete discussion of our accounting policies and procedures included in note 2 to our consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

In order to prepare our consolidated financial statements according to the rules and guidelines set forth by GAAP, many subjective judgments must be made with regard to critical accounting policies. One of these judgments is our estimate for useful lives in determining depreciation expense for our properties. Depreciation on a majority of our buildings and improvements is computed using the straight–line method over an estimated useful life of 25 to 35 years. If we use a shorter or longer estimated useful life, it could have a material impact on our results of operations. We believe that 25 to 35 years is an appropriate estimate of useful life.

When acquiring a property for investment purposes, we allocate the fair value of real estate acquired to: (1) land, (2) building and improvements, and (3) indentified intangible assets and liabilities, based in each case on their estimated fair values. Intangible assets and liabilities consist of above-market or below-market lease value of in-place leases, the value of in-place leases, and tenant relationships, as applicable. In addition, any assumed mortgages receivable or payable and any assumed or issued noncontrolling interests are recorded at their estimated fair values.

Table of Contents

Another significant judgment must be made as to if, and when, impairment losses should be taken on our properties when events or a change in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. A provision is made for impairment if estimated future operating cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) plus estimated disposition proceeds (undiscounted) are less than the current book value of the property. Key inputs that we estimate in this analysis include projected rental rates, estimated holding periods, capital expenditures, and property sales capitalization rates. If a property is held for sale, it is carried at the lower of carrying cost or estimated fair value, less estimated cost to sell. The carrying value of our real estate is the largest component of our consolidated balance sheet. Our strategy of primarily holding properties, long-term, directly decreases the likelihood of their carrying values not being recoverable, thus requiring the recognition of an impairment. However, if our strategy, or one or more of the above assumptions were to change in the future, an impairment may need to be recognized. If events should occur that require us to reduce the carrying value of our real estate by recording provisions for impairment, they could have a material impact on our results of operations.

The following is a comparison of our results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012.

Rental Revenue

Rental revenue was $195.4 million for the third quarter of 2013, as compared to $116.8 million for the third quarter of 2012, an increase of $78.6 million, or 67.3%. The increase in rental revenue in the third quarter of 2013 compared to the third quarter of 2012 is primarily attributable to:

· The 906 properties (24.1 million square feet) acquired by Realty Income in 2013, which generated $61.6 million of rent in the third quarter of 2013;

· The 423 properties (10.5 million square feet) acquired by Realty Income in 2012, which generated $20.3 million of rent in the third quarter of 2013 compared to $5.9 million of rent in the third quarter of 2012, an increase of $14.4 million;

· Same store rents generated on 2,360 properties (17.5 million square feet) during the third quarter of 2013 and 2012, increased by $1.4 million, or 1.3%, to $109.6 million from $108.2 million;

· A net increase of $634,000 relating to the aggregate of (i) rental revenue from properties (177 properties comprising 1.6 million square feet) that were available for lease during part of 2013 or 2012, (ii) rental revenue for six properties under development, (iii) rental revenue for 22 properties re-leased with rent-free periods, and (iv) lease termination settlements, which, in aggregate, totaled $2.3 million in the third quarter of 2013 compared to $1.6 million in the third quarter of 2012; and

· A net increase in straight-line rent and other non-cash adjustments to rent of $556,000 in the third quarter of 2013 as compared to the third quarter of 2012.

Rental revenue was $543.6 million for the first nine months of 2013, as compared to $339.6 million for the first nine months of 2012, an increase of $204.0 million, or 60.1%. The increase in rental revenue in the first nine months of 2013 compared to the first nine months of 2012 is primarily attributable to:

· The 906 properties (24.1 million square feet) acquired by Realty Income in 2013, which generated $144.0 million of rent in the first nine months of 2013;

· The 423 properties (10.5 million square feet) acquired by Realty Income in 2012, which generated $60.5 million of rent in the first nine months of 2013 compared to $7.4 million of rent in the first nine months of 2012, an increase of $53.1 million;

· Same store rents generated on 2,360 properties (17.5 million square feet) during the first nine months of 2013 and 2012, increased by $4.2 million, or 1.3%, to $328.4 million from $324.2 million;

· A net increase of $967,000 relating to the aggregate of (i) rental revenue from properties (177 properties comprising 1.6 million square feet) that were available for lease during part of 2013 or 2012, (ii) rental revenue for six properties under development, (iii) rental revenue for 22 properties re-leased with rent-free periods, and (iv) lease termination settlements, which, in aggregate, totaled $6.7 million in the first nine months of 2013 compared to $5.8 million in the first nine months of 2012; and

Table of Contents

· A net increase in straight-line rent and other non-cash adjustments to rent of $1.8 million in the first nine months of 2013 as compared to the first nine months of 2012.

For purposes of determining the same store rent property pool, we include all properties that were owned for the entire year-to-date period, for both the current and prior year except for properties during the current or prior year that; (i) were available for lease at any time, (ii) were under development, (iii) we have made an additional investment in, (iv) were involved in eminent domain and rent was reduced, and (v) were re-leased with rent-free periods. Each of the exclusions from the same store pool is separately addressed within the applicable sentences above explaining the changes in rental revenue for the period.

Of the 3,866 properties in the portfolio at September 30, 2013, 3,846, or 99.5%, are single-tenant properties and the remaining 20 are multi-tenant properties. Of the 3,846 single-tenant properties, 3,774, or 98.1%, were net leased with a weighted average remaining lease term (excluding rights to extend a lease at the option of the tenant) of approximately 10.9 years at September 30, 2013. Of our 3,774 leased single-tenant properties, 3,414, or 90.5%, were under leases that provide for increases in rents through:

· Primarily base rent increases tied to a consumer price index (typically subject to ceilings);

· Percentage rent based on a percentage of the tenants’ gross sales;

· Fixed increases; or

· A combination of two or more of the above rent provisions.

Percentage rent, which is included in rental revenue, was $339,000 in the third quarter of 2013, and $170,000 in the third quarter of 2012 (excluding percentage rent reclassified to discontinued operations of $10,000 in the third quarter of 2013 and 2012). Percentage rent was $1.4 million in the first nine months of 2013, and $1.0 million in the first nine months of 2012 (excluding percentage rent reclassified to discontinued operations of $40,000 in the first nine months of 2013 and $16,000 in the first nine months of 2012). Percentage rent, in the third quarter and first nine months of 2013, was less than 1% of rental revenue, and we anticipate percentage rent to continue to be less than 1% of rental revenue for the remainder of 2013.

Our portfolio of real estate, leased primarily to regional and national commercial enterprises under net leases, continues to perform well and to provide dependable lease revenue supporting the payment of monthly dividends to our stockholders. At September 30, 2013, our portfolio of 3,866 properties was 98.1% leased with 73 properties available for lease, as compared to 84 properties available for lease at December 31, 2012 and September 30, 2012. It has been our experience that approximately 2% to 4% of our property portfolio will be unleased at any given time; however, it is possible that the number of properties available for lease could exceed these levels in the future.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization was $80.9 million for the third quarter of 2013, as compared to $37.0 million for the third quarter of 2012. Depreciation and amortization was $221.6 million for the first nine months of 2013, as compared to $105.8 million for the first nine months of 2012. The increase in depreciation and amortization was primarily due to the acquisition of properties in 2013 and 2012, including the 515 properties acquired as part of our acquisition of ARCT, which was partially offset by property sales in those same periods. As discussed in the section entitled “Funds from Operations Available to Common Stockholders and Normalized Funds from Operations Available to Common Stockholders” and “Adjusted Funds from Operations Available to Common Stockholders,” depreciation and amortization is a non-cash item that is added back to net income available to common stockholders for our calculation of FFO, normalized FFO, and AFFO.

Interest Expense

Interest expense was $49.7 million for the third quarter of 2013, as compared to $29.7 million for the third quarter of 2012. Interest expense was $130.3 million for the first nine months of 2013, as compared to $87.5 million for the first nine months of 2012. The increase in interest expense was primarily due to an increase in borrowings attributable to the issuance in October 2012 of our 2.00% senior unsecured notes due January 2018, the October 2012 issuance of our 3.25% senior unsecured notes due October 2022, the July 2013 issuance of our 4.65% senior unsecured notes due August 2023, and an increase in mortgages payable and higher credit facility borrowings, which were partially offset by lower average interest rates.

The following is a summary of the components of our interest expense (dollars in thousands):

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses increased by $7.3 million to $16.6 million, in the third quarter of 2013, as compared to $9.3 million in the third quarter of 2012. Included in general and administrative expenses are acquisition transaction costs (excluding ARCT) of $882,000 during the third quarter of 2013, as compared to $795,000 for the third quarter of 2012. General and administrative expenses increased by $12.5 million to $40.3 million, in the first nine months of 2013, as compared to $27.8 million in the first nine months of 2012. Included in general and administrative expenses are acquisition transaction costs (excluding ARCT) of $1.7 million, during the first nine months of 2013, as compared to $1.4 million for the first nine months of 2012. Even though general and administrative expenses increased, during the first nine months of 2013, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenue decreased. The increase in expense was primarily due to increases in employee costs, including the accelerated vesting of restricted shares in July 2013, and higher costs as a result of our

Property Expenses

Property expenses consist of costs associated with unleased properties, non-net leased properties and general portfolio expenses. Expenses related to unleased properties and non-net leased properties include, but are not limited to, property taxes, maintenance, insurance, utilities, property inspections, bad debt expense and legal fees. General portfolio costs include, but are not limited to, insurance, legal, property inspections, and title search fees. At September 30, 2013, 73 properties were available for lease, as compared to 84 at December 31, 2012 and September 30, 2012.

Property expenses were $5.9 million in the third quarter of 2013, and $1.5 million in the third quarter of 2012. Property expenses were $12.7 million in the first nine months of 2013, and $5.2 million in the first nine months of 2012. The increase in property expenses is primarily attributable to higher maintenance and utilities, insurance costs, property taxes, and ground rent expenses as a result of our acquisition of ARCT.

Income Taxes

Income taxes were $671,000 in the third quarter of 2013, as compared to $405,000 in the third quarter of 2012. Income taxes were $2.1 million in the first nine months of 2013, as compared to $1.2 million in the first nine months of 2012. These amounts are for city and state income and franchise taxes paid by Realty Income.

Merger-Related Costs

Merger-related costs include, but are not limited to, advisor fees, legal fees, accounting fees, printing fees and transfer taxes related to our acquisition of ARCT. Merger-related costs were $240,000, for the third quarter of 2013, and $12.9 million for the first nine months of 2013. On a diluted per common share basis, this expense represented $0.07 for the first nine months of 2013. Merger-related costs were $5.5 million for the third quarter and first nine months of 2012, or $0.04 per diluted common share.

Discontinued Operations

Operations from 22 Realty Income investment properties and two Crest investment properties classified as held for sale at September 30, 2013, plus properties previously sold, have been classified as discontinued operations. The following is a summary of income from discontinued operations on our consolidated statements of income (dollars in thousands):

Crest’s Assets and Property Sales

At September 30, 2013, Crest had an inventory of four properties, two of which are classified as held for investment. In addition to the four properties, Crest also held notes receivable of $18.8 million at September 30, 2013 and $18.9 million at December 31, 2012.

During the first nine months of 2013 and 2012, Crest did not buy or sell any properties and did not record any provisions for impairment.

Gain on Sales of Investment Properties by Realty Income

During the third quarter of 2013, we sold 19 investment properties for $22.4 million, which resulted in a gain of $6.2 million. During the first nine months of 2013, we sold 53 investment properties for $106.1 million, which resulted in a gain of $50.5 million. The results of operations for these properties have been reclassified as discontinued operations.

Provisions for Impairment on Realty Income Investment Properties

Preferred Stock Dividends

Preferred stock dividends totaled $10.5 million in the third quarters of 2013 and 2012, $31.4 million in the first nine months of 2013, and $30.4 million in the first nine months of 2012.

Excess of Redemption Value over Carrying Value of Preferred Shares Redeemed

When we redeemed our Class D preferred stock in March 2012, we incurred a charge of $3.7 million for the excess of redemption value over the carrying value. This charge, representing the Class D preferred stock original issuance cost that was paid in 2004, was recorded as a reduction to net income available to common stockholders when the shares were redeemed during the first quarter of 2012. On a diluted per common share basis, this charge was $0.03.

Net Income Available to Common Stockholders

Net income available to common stockholders was $41.1 million, in the third quarter of 2013, an increase of $14.1 million, as compared to $27.0 million in the third quarter of 2012. Net income available to common stockholders was $149.8 million, in the first nine months of 2013, an increase of $63.8 million as compared to $86.0 million in the first nine months of 2012. Net income available to common stockholders, in the first nine months of 2013, includes $12.9 million of merger-related costs for the acquisition of ARCT, which represents $0.07 on a diluted per common share basis, and $3.7 million for accelerated vesting of restricted shares that occurred in July 2013 from ten-year vesting to five years, which represents $0.02 on a diluted per common share basis. Net income available to common stockholders, in the first nine months of 2012, includes $5.5 million of merger-related costs related to the acquisition of ARCT, which represents $0.04 on a diluted per common share basis, and a $3.7 million charge for the excess of redemption value over carrying value of the Class D preferred shares, which represents $0.03 on a diluted per common share basis.

Gains from the sale of investment properties, during the third quarter of 2013, were $6.2 million, as compared to $2.0 million of gains recognized during the third quarter of 2012. Gains from the sale of investment properties, during the first nine months of 2013, were $50.5 million, as compared to $6.0 million of gains recognized during the first nine months of 2012.

FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS AVAILABLE TO COMMON STOCKHOLDERS (FFO) AND NORMALIZED FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS AVAILABLE TO COMMON STOCKHOLDERS (Normalized FFO)

FFO for the third quarter of 2013 increased by $52.5 million, or 82.8%, to $115.9 million, as compared to $63.4 million for the third quarter of 2012. FFO for the first nine months of 2013 increased by $135.2 million, or 71.4%, to $324.5 million, as compared to $189.3 million for the first nine months of 2012. FFO for the first nine months of 2013 includes $12.9 million for merger-related costs related to our acquisition of ARCT, and $3.7 million for accelerated vesting of restricted shares that occurred in July 2013 from ten-year vesting to five years. FFO for the first nine months of 2012 includes $5.5 million of merger-related costs, which represents $0.04 on a diluted per common share basis, and a $3.7 million charge associated with the Class D preferred stock redemption in March 2012.

We define normalized FFO as FFO excluding the merger-related costs for our 2013 acquisition of ARCT. Normalized FFO for the third quarter of 2013 increased by $47.2 million, or 68.5%, to $116.1 million, as compared to $68.9 million for the third quarter of 2012. Normalized FFO for the first nine months of 2013 increased by $142.6 million, or 73.2%, to $337.4 million, as compared to $194.8 million for the first nine months of 2012.

The following is a reconciliation of net income available to common stockholders (which we believe is the most comparable GAAP measure) to FFO and normalized FFO. Also presented is information regarding distributions paid to common stockholders and the weighted average number of common shares used for the basic and diluted computation per share (dollars in thousands, except per share amounts):

We define FFO, a non-GAAP measure, consistent with the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trust’s definition, as net income available to common stockholders, plus depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, plus impairments of depreciable real estate assets, reduced by gains on sale of investment properties and extraordinary items. We define normalized FFO, a non-GAAP measure, as FFO excluding the merger-related costs for our 2013 acquisition of ARCT.

We consider FFO and normalized FFO to be appropriate supplemental measures of a REIT’s operating performance as they are based on a net income analysis of property portfolio performance that adds back items such as depreciation and impairments for FFO, and adds back merger-related costs, for normalized FFO. The historical accounting convention used for real estate assets requires straight-line depreciation of buildings and improvements, which implies that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values historically rise and fall with market conditions, presentations of operating results for a REIT, using historical accounting for depreciation, could be less informative. The use of FFO is recommended by the REIT industry as a supplemental performance measure. In addition, FFO is used as a measure of our compliance with the financial covenants of our credit facility.

ADJUSTED FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS AVAILABLE TO COMMON STOCKHOLDERS (AFFO)

AFFO for the third quarter of 2013 increased by $49.4 million, or 72.1%, to $117.9 million, as compared to $68.5 million in the third quarter of 2012. AFFO for the first nine months of 2013 increased by $136.1 million, or 67.6%, to $337.4 million, as compared to $201.3 million in the first nine months of 2012. We consider AFFO to be an appropriate supplemental measure of our performance. Most companies in our industry use a similar measurement, but they may use the term “CAD” (for Cash Available for Distribution), “FAD” (for Funds Available for Distribution) or other terms.

(2) Includes the amortization of costs incurred and capitalized when our notes were issued in March 2003, November 2003, March 2005, September 2005, September 2006, September 2007, June 2010, June 2011, October 2012, and July 2013. Additionally, this includes the amortization of deferred financing costs incurred and capitalized in connection with our assumption of the mortgages payable and the issuance of our term loan. The deferred financing costs are being amortized over the lives of the respective mortgages and term loan. No costs associated with our credit facility agreements or annual fees paid to credit rating agencies have been included.

(3) Includes straight-line rent revenue and the amortization of above and below-market leases.

We believe the non-GAAP financial measure AFFO provides useful information to investors because it is a widely accepted industry measure of the operating performance of real estate companies that is used by industry analysts and investors who look at and compare those companies. In particular, AFFO provides an additional measure to compare the operating performance of different REITs without having to account for differing depreciation assumptions and other unique revenue and expense items which are not pertinent to measuring a particular company’s on-going operating performance. Therefore, we believe that AFFO is an appropriate supplemental performance metric, and that the most appropriate GAAP performance metric to which AFFO should be reconciled is net income available to common stockholders.

Presentation of the information regarding FFO, normalized 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, normalized FFO and AFFO in the same way, so comparisons with other REITs may not be meaningful. Furthermore, FFO, normalized FFO and AFFO are not necessarily indicative of cash flow available to fund cash needs and should not be considered as alternatives to net income as an indication of our performance. FFO, normalized FFO and AFFO should not be considered as alternatives to reviewing our cash flows from operating, investing, and financing activities. In addition, FFO, normalized FFO and AFFO should not be considered as measures of liquidity, of our ability to make cash distributions, or of our ability to pay interest payments.

PROPERTY PORTFOLIO INFORMATION

At September 30, 2013, we owned a diversified portfolio:

· Of 3,866 properties;

· With an occupancy rate of 98.1%, or 3,793 properties leased and only 73 properties available for lease;

· Leased to 200 different commercial enterprises doing business in 47 separate industries;

· Located in 49 states and Puerto Rico;

· With over 61.2 million square feet of leasable space; and

· With an average leasable space per property of approximately 15,800 square feet.

At September 30, 2013, of our 3,866 properties, 3,774 were leased under net-lease agreements. A net lease typically requires the tenant to be responsible for minimum monthly rent and property operating expenses including property taxes, insurance and maintenance. In addition, our tenants are typically subject to future rent increases based on increases in the consumer price index (typically subject to ceilings), additional rent calculated as a percentage of the tenants’ gross sales above a specified level, or fixed increases.

As a result of our 2013 acquisitions, the following industry table has been modified from similar tables we have prepared in the past to reflect the changes below:

· Five new industries were added: (1) “government services,” (2) “health care,” (3) “jewelry,” (4) “other manufacturing,” and (5) “electrical utilities” and

· Some properties previously included in the “other” industry were reclassified to both the “health care” and “government services” industries to better reflect the industry in which the tenant operates.

IMPACT OF INFLATION

Tenant leases generally provide for limited increases in rent as a result of increases in the tenants’ sales volumes, increases in the consumer price index (typically subject to ceilings), or fixed increases. We expect that inflation will cause these lease provisions to result in rent increases over time. During times when inflation is greater than increases in rent, as provided for in the leases, rent increases may not keep up with the rate of inflation.

Of our 3,866 properties in the portfolio, approximately 97.6% or 3,774 are leased to tenants under net leases where the tenant is responsible for property expenses. Net leases tend to reduce our exposure to rising property expenses due to inflation. Inflation and increased costs may have an adverse impact on our tenants if increases in their operating expenses exceed increases in revenue.

IMPACT OF RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

As of September 30, 2013, the impact of recent accounting pronouncements on our business is not considered to be material.

We maintain a corporate website at www.realtyincome.com. On our website we make available, free of charge, copies of our annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, Form 3s, Form 4s, Form 5s, current reports on Form 8-K, and amendments to those reports, as soon as reasonably practicable after we electronically file these reports with the SEC. None of the information on our website is deemed to be a part of this report.

We are committed to providing an enjoyable, diverse and safe working atmosphere for our employees, to upholding our responsibilities as a public company operating for the benefit of our shareholders and to being mindful of the environment. As The Monthly Dividend Company®, we believe our primary responsibility is to provide a dividend return to our shareholders. How we manage and use the physical, human and financial resources that enable us to acquire and own the real estate, which provides us with the lease revenue to pay monthly dividends, demonstrates our commitment to corporate responsibility.

Social Responsibility and Ethics. We are committed to being socially responsible and conducting our business according to the highest ethical standards. Our employees enjoy compensation that is in line with those of our peers and competitors, including generous healthcare benefits for employees and their families; participation in a 401K plan with a matching contribution by Realty Income; competitive vacation and time-off benefits; paid maternity leave and an infant-at-work program for new parents. Our employees also have access to members of our Board of Directors to report any suspicion of misconduct, by any member of our senior management or executive team. We also have a long-standing commitment to equal employment opportunity and adhere to all Equal Employer Opportunity Policy guidelines.

Table of Contents

With respect to our vendors and tenants we apply the principles of full and fair disclosure in all of our business dealings, as outlined in our Corporate Code of Business Ethics. We are also committed to dealing fairly with all of our customers, suppliers and competitors.

Corporate Governance. We believe that nothing is more important than a company’s reputation for integrity and serving as a responsible fiduciary for its shareholders. We are committed to managing the company for the benefit of our shareholders and are focused on maintaining good corporate governance. Practices that illustrate this commitment include:

· Our Board of Directors is comprised of six independent, non-employee directors and two employee directors (one who is our Chief Executive Officer and the other is our retired Chief Executive Officer and Vice Chairman of the Board)

· Our Board of Directors is elected on an annual basis

· We employ a majority vote standard for elections

· Our Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors works with independent consultants, in conducting annual compensation reviews for our key executives, and compensates each individual based on reaching certain performance metrics that determine the success of our company

· We adhere to all other corporate governance principles outlined in our “Corporate Governance Guidelines” document.

Environmental Practices. Our focus on energy related matters is demonstrated by how we manage our day-to-day activities in our corporate headquarters building. With respect to other properties that we own, which are net-leased to our tenants who are responsible for maintaining the buildings, we encourage energy conservation and environmental sustainability practices wherever possible. In our headquarters building we promote energy conservation and encourage the following practices:

· Powering down office equipment at the end of the day

· Setting fax and copier machines to “energy saver mode”

· Encouraging employees to use “duplex” copy mode to reduce paper usage whenever possible

· Employing an automated “lights out” system that is activated 24/7

· Programming HVAC to only operate during normal business operating hours

In addition, our headquarters building was constructed according to the State of California energy standards and we have installed solar panels on our roof to fulfill our energy requirements. All of the windows on our building are dual-paned to increase energy efficiency and reduce our carbon footprint.

With respect to recycling and reuse practices, we encourage the use of recycled products and the recycling of materials during our operations. Recycling bins are placed in all areas where materials are regularly disposed of and at the individual desks of our employees. Cell phones, wireless devices and office equipment are recycled or donated whenever possible. We also continue to pursue a paperless environment since this reduces costs and saves trees. As a result, we encourage file-sharing networks and environments to produce and edit documents in order to reduce the dissemination of hard copy documents.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We are exposed to interest rate changes primarily as a result of our credit facility, term loan, and long-term notes and bonds used to maintain liquidity and expand our real estate investment portfolio and operations. Our interest rate risk management objective is to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flow and to lower our overall borrowing costs. To achieve these objectives we issue long-term notes and bonds, primarily at fixed rates.

In order to mitigate and manage the effects of interest rate risks on our operations, we may utilize a variety of financial instruments, including interest rate swaps and caps. The use of these types of instruments to hedge our exposure to changes in interest rates carries additional risks, including counterparty credit risk, the enforceability of hedging contracts and the risk that unanticipated and

Table of Contents

significant changes in interest rates will cause a significant loss of basis in the contract. To limit counterparty credit risk we will seek to enter into such agreements with major financial institutions with favorable credit ratings. There can be no assurance that we will be able to adequately protect against the foregoing risks or realize an economic benefit that exceeds the related amounts incurred in connection with engaging in such hedging activities. We do not enter into any derivative transactions for speculative or trading purposes.

The following table presents by year of expected maturity, the principal amounts, average interest rates, and estimated fair values of our fixed and variable rate debt as of September 30, 2013. This information is presented to evaluate the expected cash flows and sensitivity to interest rate changes (dollars in millions):

Expected Maturity Data

			Weighted average				Weighted average

Totals (1)	$	3,915.8	5.00	%	$	602.3	1.62	%
Fair Value (2)	$	4,103.5			$	602.1

(1) Excludes net premiums recorded on mortgages payable. The unamortized balance of these net premiums is $31.4 million at September 30, 2013.

(2) We base the estimated fair value of the fixed rate senior notes at September 30, 2013 on the indicative market prices and recent trading activity of our notes payable. We base the estimated fair value of our fixed rate and variable rate mortgages at September 30, 2013 on the current 5-year, 7-year or 10-year Treasury yield curve, plus an applicable credit-adjusted spread. We believe that the carrying value of the credit facility balance and term loan balance reasonably approximate their estimated fair values at September 30, 2013.

The table incorporates only those exposures that exist as of September 30, 2013. It does not consider those exposures or positions that could arise after that date. As a result, our ultimate realized gain or loss, with respect to interest rate fluctuations, would depend on the exposures that arise during the period, our hedging strategies at the time, and interest rates.

All of our outstanding notes and bonds have fixed interest rates. All of our mortgages payable, except three, have fixed interest rates. Interest on our credit facility and term loan balance is variable. However, the variable interest rate feature on our term loan has been mitigated by an interest rate swap agreement. Based on our credit facility balance of $468.4 million at September 30, 2013, a 1% change in interest rates would change our interest costs by $4.7 million per year.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In

Table of Contents

designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

As of and for the quarter ended September 30, 2013, we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective and were operating at a reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Controls

There were no changes to our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2013 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. As of September 30, 2013, there were no material weaknesses in our internal controls, and therefore, no corrective actions were taken.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

Internal control over financial reporting cannot provide absolute assurance of achieving financial reporting objectives because of its inherent limitations. Internal control over financial reporting is a process that involves human diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgment and breakdowns resulting from human failures. Internal control over financial reporting also can be circumvented by collusion or improper management override. Because of such limitations, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.
