Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Report”), including Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in Item 2 of Part I of this Report, contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words “believe,” “project,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “strategy,” “plan,” “may,” “should,” “will,” “would,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” and similar expressions. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding: the Proposed Merger (as defined herein), including the impact thereof; our corporate strategy and estimated or future economic performance and results, including our expectations surrounding the impact of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic on our business, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations, and prospects; our future capital expenditure and leverage levels, debt service obligations, and plans to fund our liquidity needs; prospective statements regarding our access to the capital markets, including our “at-the-market” program (“ATM Program”) and settlement of our Equity Forwards (as defined herein); the outlook for the investment programs that we manage, including possible liquidity events for those programs; statements that we make regarding our ability to remain qualified for taxation as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”); and the impact of recently issued accounting pronouncements and regulatory activity.
These statements are based on the current expectations of our management. It is important to note that our actual results could be materially different from those projected in such forward-looking statements. There are a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from these forward-looking statements. Other unknown or unpredictable risks or uncertainties, like the risks related to the effects of pandemics and global outbreaks of contagious diseases (such as the current COVID-19 pandemic) or the fear of such outbreaks, could also have material adverse effects on our business, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations, and prospects. You should exercise caution in relying on forward-looking statements as they involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may materially affect our future results, performance, achievements, or transactions. Information on factors that could impact actual results and cause them to differ from what is anticipated in the forward-looking statements contained herein is included in this Report, as well as in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including but not limited to those described in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, as filed with the SEC on February 11, 2022 (the “2021 Annual Report”), and in Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors herein. Moreover, because we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment, new risks are likely to emerge from time to time. Given these risks and uncertainties, potential investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements as a prediction of future results, which speak only as of the date of this Report, unless noted otherwise. Except as required by federal securities laws and the rules and regulations of the SEC, we do not undertake to revise or update any forward-looking statements.
All references to “Notes” throughout the document refer to the footnotes to the consolidated financial statements of the registrant in Part I, Item 1. Financial Statements (Unaudited).

W. P. CAREY INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
Note 1. Business and Organization
W. P. Carey Inc. (“W. P. Carey”) is a REIT that, together with our consolidated subsidiaries, invests primarily in operationally-critical, single-tenant commercial real estate properties located in the United States and Northern and Western Europe on a long-term basis. We earn revenue principally by leasing the properties we own to companies on a triple-net lease basis, which generally requires each tenant to pay the costs associated with operating and maintaining the property.
Founded in 1973, our shares of common stock are listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “WPC.”
On February 27, 2022, we, Corporate Property Associates 18 – Global Incorporated (“CPA:18 – Global”) (a publicly owned, non-traded REIT that primarily invests in commercial real estate properties and is advised by us), CPA:18 Limited Partnership (a subsidiary of CPA:18 – Global, “CPA:18 LP”), and certain of our subsidiaries entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which CPA:18 – Global will merge with and into one of our indirect subsidiaries in exchange for shares of our common stock and cash (the “Proposed Merger”). The Proposed Merger and related transactions were approved by the stockholders of CPA:18 – Global at a special meeting on July 26, 2022. We currently expect the transaction to close on August 1, 2022.
Subject to the terms and conditions contained in the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Proposed Merger, each share of CPA:18 – Global common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Proposed Merger will be canceled and, in exchange for cancellation of such share, the rights attaching to such share will be converted automatically into the right to receive (i) 0.0978 shares of our common stock and (ii) $3.00 in cash, which we refer to herein as the Merger Consideration. Each share of CPA:18 – Global common stock owned by us or any of our subsidiaries immediately prior to the effective time of the Proposed Merger will automatically be canceled and retired, and will cease to exist, for no Merger Consideration.
We elected to be taxed as a REIT under Section 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code effective as of February 15, 2012. As a REIT, we are not subject to federal income taxes on income and gains that we distribute to our stockholders as long as we satisfy certain requirements, principally relating to the nature of our income and the level of our distributions, as well as other factors. We also own real property in jurisdictions outside the United States through foreign subsidiaries and are subject to income taxes on our pre-tax income earned from properties in such countries. Through our taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRSs”), we also earn revenue as the advisor to certain non-traded investment programs. We hold all of our real estate assets attributable to our Real Estate segment under the REIT structure, while the activities conducted by our Investment Management segment subsidiaries have been organized under TRSs.
•CPA:18 – Global; and
•Carey European Student Housing Fund I, L.P. (“CESH”), a limited partnership formed for the purpose of developing, owning, and operating student housing properties and similar investments in Europe.
We refer to CPA:18 – Global and CESH collectively as the “Managed Programs.” We no longer raise capital for new or existing funds, but currently expect to continue managing CPA:18 – Global and CESH through the end of their respective life cycles (Note 3).
Reportable Segments
Real Estate — Lease revenues from our real estate investments generate the vast majority of our earnings. We invest primarily in commercial properties located in the United States and Northern and Western Europe, which are leased to companies on a triple-net lease basis. At June 30, 2022, our owned portfolio was comprised of our full or partial ownership interests in 1,357 properties, totaling approximately 161 million square feet, substantially all of which were net leased to 356 tenants, with a weighted-average lease term of 11.0 years and an occupancy rate of 99.1%. In addition, at June 30, 2022, our portfolio was comprised of full or partial ownership interests in 20 operating properties, including 19 self-storage properties and one hotel, totaling approximately 1.4 million square feet.
W. P. Carey 6/30/2022 10-Q – 9
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
Investment Management — Through our TRSs, we manage the real estate investment portfolios for the Managed Programs, for which we earn asset management revenue. We may earn incentive revenue and receive other compensation through our advisory agreements with certain of the Managed Programs, including in connection with providing a liquidity event for CPA:18 – Global’s stockholders. In addition, we include equity income generated through our (i) ownership of shares and limited partnership units of the Managed Programs (Note 7) and (ii) special general partner interest in the operating partnership of CPA:18 – Global (through which we participate in its cash flows (Note 3)), in our Investment Management segment.
At June 30, 2022, the Managed Programs owned all or a portion of 46 net-leased properties (including certain properties in which we also have an ownership interest), totaling approximately 9.7 million square feet, substantially all of which were leased to 47 tenants, with an occupancy rate of approximately 99.3%. The Managed Programs also had interests in 66 operating properties (totaling approximately 5.1 million square feet in the aggregate) and two active build-to-suit projects at the same date.
Note 2. Basis of Presentation
Basis of Presentation
Our interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not necessarily include all information and footnotes necessary for a complete statement of our consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial information for the interim periods presented in this Report reflects all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. Our interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes for the year ended December 31, 2021, which are included in the 2021 Annual Report, as certain disclosures that would substantially duplicate those contained in the audited consolidated financial statements have not been included in this Report. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of operating results for an entire year.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and the disclosure of contingent amounts in our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Basis of Consolidation
Our consolidated financial statements reflect all of our accounts, including those of our controlled subsidiaries. The portions of equity in consolidated subsidiaries that are not attributable, directly or indirectly, to us are presented as noncontrolling interests. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
When we obtain an economic interest in an entity, we evaluate the entity to determine if it should be deemed a VIE and, if so, whether we are the primary beneficiary and are therefore required to consolidate the entity. There have been no significant changes in our VIE policies from what was disclosed in the 2021 Annual Report.
W. P. Carey 6/30/2022 10-Q – 10
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
At both June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we considered 14 entities to be VIEs, of which we consolidated six, as we are considered the primary beneficiary. The following table presents a summary of selected financial data of the consolidated VIEs included in our consolidated balance sheets (in thousands):
June 30, 2022 | December 31, 2021 | ||||||||||

Total liabilities | 44,233 | 46,302 |
At both June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, our eight unconsolidated VIEs included our interests in (i) six unconsolidated real estate investments, which we account for under the equity method of accounting (we do not consolidate these entities because we are not the primary beneficiary and the nature of our involvement in the activities of these entities allows us to exercise significant influence on, but does not give us power over, decisions that significantly affect the economic performance of these entities), and (ii) two unconsolidated investments in equity securities, which we accounted for as investments in shares of the entities at fair value. As of June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, the net carrying amount of our investments in these entities was $612.9 million and $581.3 million, respectively, and our maximum exposure to loss in these entities was limited to our investments.
Reclassifications
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
We currently present Income from direct financing leases and loans receivable on its own line item in the consolidated statements of income. Previously, income from direct financing leases was included within Lease revenues and income from loans receivable was included within Lease termination income and other in the consolidated statements of income.
Revenue Recognition
There have been no significant changes in our policies for revenue from contracts under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606 from what was disclosed in the 2021 Annual Report. ASC 606 does not apply to our lease revenues, which constitute a majority of our revenues, but primarily applies to revenues generated from our hotel operating properties and our Investment Management segment. Revenue from contracts for our Real Estate segment primarily represented hotel operating property revenues of $3.3 million and $1.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $5.4 million and $2.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively (Note 15). Revenue from contracts under ASC 606 from our Investment Management segment is discussed in Note 3.
Lease revenue (including straight-line lease revenue) is only recognized when deemed probable of collection. Collectibility is assessed for each tenant receivable using various criteria including credit ratings (Note 5), guarantees, past collection issues, and the current economic and business environment affecting the tenant. If collectibility of the contractual rent stream is not deemed probable, revenue will only be recognized upon receipt of cash from the tenant.

Note 3. Agreements and Transactions with Related Parties
Proposed Merger with CPA:18 – Global
Advisory Agreements and Partnership Agreements with the Managed Programs
We currently have advisory agreements with CPA:18 – Global and CESH, pursuant to which we earn fees and are entitled to receive reimbursement for certain fund management expenses. We no longer raise capital for new or existing funds, but we currently expect to continue to manage CPA:18 – Global and CESH and earn various fees (as described below) through the end of their respective life cycles. We have partnership agreements with CPA:18 – Global and CESH, and under the partnership agreement with CPA:18 – Global, we are entitled to receive certain cash distributions from its operating partnership. Upon the expected completion of the Proposed Merger, the advisory agreement and partnership agreement with CPA:18 – Global will be terminated, after which we will no longer receive fees and distributions from CPA:18 – Global.
The merger between Carey Watermark Investors Incorporated (“CWI 1”) and Carey Watermark Investors 2 Incorporated (“CWI 2”), two former affiliates (the “CWI 1 and CWI 2 Merger”), closed on April 13, 2020 and is discussed in detail in the 2021 Annual Report. Subsequently, CWI 2 was renamed Watermark Lodging Trust, Inc. (“WLT”). In connection with the CWI 1 and CWI 2 Merger, we entered into a transition services agreement, under which we provided certain transition services at cost to WLT generally for a period of 12 months from closing. On October 13, 2021, all services provided under the transition services agreement were terminated.
The following tables present a summary of revenue earned, reimbursable costs, and distributions of Available Cash received/accrued from the Managed Programs and WLT for the periods indicated, included in the consolidated financial statements (in thousands):

Structuring and Other Advisory Revenue
Under the terms of the advisory agreements with the Managed Programs, we may earn revenue for structuring and negotiating investments. For CPA:18 – Global and CESH, we may earn fees of 4.5% and 2.0%, respectively, of the total aggregate cost of the investments or commitments made.
Reimbursable Costs from Affiliates
The existing Managed Programs reimburse us in cash for certain personnel and overhead costs that we incur on their behalf. For CPA:18 – Global, such costs (excluding those related to our legal transactions group, our senior management, and our investments team) are charged to CPA:18 – Global based on the average of the trailing 12-month aggregate reported revenues of the Managed Programs and us, and personnel costs are capped at 1.0% of CPA:18 – Global’s pro rata lease revenues for both 2022 and 2021. For CESH, reimbursements are based on actual expenses incurred.
Distributions of Available Cash
We are entitled to receive distributions of up to 10% of the Available Cash (as defined in CPA:18 – Global’s partnership agreement) from the operating partnership of CPA:18 – Global, payable quarterly in arrears.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
Back-End Fees and Interests in the Managed Programs
Under our advisory agreements with certain of the Managed Programs, we may also receive compensation in connection with providing liquidity events for their stockholders. Such back-end fees or interests include or may include disposition fees, interests in disposition proceeds, and distributions related to ownership of shares or limited partnership units in the Managed Programs. There can be no assurance as to whether or when any back-end fees or interests will be realized. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, upon consummation of the Proposed Merger, we have agreed to waive certain back-end fees that we would have been entitled to receive from CPA:18 – Global upon its liquidation pursuant to the terms of our advisory agreement and partnership agreement with CPA:18 – Global.
Other Transactions with Affiliates
Loans to Affiliates
From time to time, our board of directors has approved the making of secured and unsecured loans or lines of credit from us to certain of the Managed Programs, at our sole discretion, generally for the purpose of facilitating acquisitions or for working capital purposes.
The principal outstanding balance on our line of credit to CPA:18 – Global was $16.0 million as of June 30, 2022. No amounts were outstanding as of December 31, 2021. In July 2022, CPA:18 – Global repaid the principal outstanding balance in full.
Other
At June 30, 2022, we owned interests in nine jointly owned investments in real estate, with the remaining interests held by affiliates or third parties. We account for eight such investments under the equity method of accounting (Note 7) and consolidate the remaining investment. In addition, we owned stock of CPA:18 – Global and limited partnership units of CESH at that date. We accounted for our investment in CPA:18 – Global under the equity method of accounting and elected to account for our investment in CESH under the fair value option (Note 7).
Note 4. Land, Buildings and Improvements and Assets Held for Sale
Land, Buildings and Improvements — Operating Leases

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the U.S. dollar strengthened against the euro, as the end-of-period rate for the U.S. dollar in relation to the euro decreased by 8.3% to $1.0387 from $1.1326. As a result of this fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates, the carrying value of our Land, buildings and improvements subject to operating leases decreased by $328.8 million from December 31, 2021 to June 30, 2022.
In connection with a change in lease classification due to termination of the underlying lease, we reclassified one property with an aggregate carrying value of $17.3 million from Net investments in direct financing leases and loans receivable to Land, buildings and improvements during the six months ended June 30, 2022 (Note 5).
Depreciation expense, including the effect of foreign currency translation, on our buildings and improvements subject to operating leases was $73.0 million and $69.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $145.0 million and $136.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

(a)During the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, we recorded a net reversal of allowance for credit losses of $1.0 million and $6.2 million, respectively, on our net investments in direct financing leases due to changes in expected economic conditions and improved credit quality for certain tenants, which was included within Other gains and (losses) in our consolidated statements of income. In addition, during the six months ended June 30, 2022, we reduced the allowance for credit losses balance by $4.7 million, in connection with the reclassification of a property from Net investments in direct financing leases and loans receivable to Land, buildings and improvements subject to operating leases, as described below.
Income from direct financing leases, which is included in Income from direct financing leases and loans receivable in the consolidated financial statements, was $13.3 million and $16.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $27.2 million and $33.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we reclassified one property with an aggregate carrying value of $17.3 million from Net investments in direct financing leases and loans receivable to Land, buildings and improvements subject to operating leases in connection with a change in lease classification due to termination of the underlying lease. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the U.S. dollar strengthened against the euro, resulting in a $31.0 million decrease in the carrying value of Net investments in direct financing leases and loans receivable from December 31, 2021 to June 30, 2022.
Loans Receivable

In the first quarter of 2021, we entered into an agreement with the borrowers for our two secured loans receivable, who agreed to pay us at maturity a total of $3.7 million of unpaid interest due over the previous year. We did not recognize this interest in the consolidated financial statements due to uncertainty of collectibility.

Credit Quality of Finance Receivables
We generally invest in facilities that we believe are critical to a tenant’s business and therefore have a lower risk of tenant default. At both June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, other than uncollected income from our secured loans receivable (as noted above), no material balances of our finance receivables were past due. Other than the lease termination noted under Net Investments in Direct Financing Leases above, there were no material modifications of finance receivables during the six months ended June 30, 2022.
We evaluate the credit quality of our finance receivables utilizing an internal five-point credit rating scale, with one representing the highest credit quality and five representing the lowest. A credit quality of one through three indicates a range of investment grade to stable. A credit quality of four through five indicates a range of inclusion on the watch list to risk of default. The credit quality evaluation of our finance receivables is updated quarterly.
A summary of our finance receivables by internal credit quality rating, excluding our allowance for credit losses, is as follows (dollars in thousands):

Note 7. Equity Method Investments
We own interests in the Managed Programs and certain unconsolidated real estate investments with CPA:18 – Global and third parties. We account for our interests in these investments under the equity method of accounting (i.e., at cost, increased or decreased by our share of earnings or losses, less distributions, plus contributions and other adjustments required by equity method accounting, such as basis differences) or at fair value by electing the equity method fair value option available under GAAP.
We classify distributions received from equity method investments using the cumulative earnings approach. In general, distributions received are considered returns on the investment and classified as cash inflows from operating activities. If, however, the investor’s cumulative distributions received, less distributions received in prior periods determined to be returns of investment, exceeds cumulative equity in earnings recognized, the excess is considered a return of investment and is classified as cash inflows from investing activities.

Managed Programs
We own interests in the Managed Programs and account for these interests under the equity method because, as their advisor, we do not exert control over, but we do have the ability to exercise significant influence over, the Managed Programs.

Effective as of March 1, 2022, we began receiving asset management revenue from CPA:18 – Global in cash in light of the Proposed Merger (Note 1).
(b)Investment is accounted for at fair value.
CPA:18 – Global — We received distributions from this investment during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 of $1.1 million and $0.9 million, respectively. We received distributions from our investment in the CPA:18 – Global operating partnership during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 of $5.4 million and $3.3 million, respectively (Note 3).
CESH — We have elected to account for our investment in CESH at fair value by selecting the equity method fair value option available under GAAP. We record our investment in CESH on a one quarter lag; therefore, the balance of our equity method investment in CESH recorded as of June 30, 2022 is based on the estimated fair value of our investment as of March 31, 2022. We received distributions from this investment during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 of $1.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively.
At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the aggregate unamortized basis differences on our equity method investments in the Managed Programs were $22.0 million and $23.3 million, respectively.
Interests in Other Unconsolidated Real Estate Investments and WLT
We own equity interests in properties that are generally leased to companies through noncontrolling interests in partnerships and limited liability companies that we do not control but over which we exercise significant influence. The underlying investments are jointly owned with affiliates or third parties. We account for these investments under the equity method of accounting. In addition, we own shares of WLT common stock, which we accounted for under the equity method of accounting as of December 31, 2021, but was reclassified to equity securities at fair value within Other assets, net on our consolidated balance sheets in January 2022, as described in Note 8. Operating results of our unconsolidated real estate investments are included in the Real Estate segment.

(a)On June 10, 2021, we entered into an agreement to fund a construction loan of approximately $261.9 million (as of June 30, 2022) for a retail complex in Las Vegas, Nevada. Through June 30, 2022, we funded $141.0 million, including $37.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022. Interest income from this investment was $3.4 million and $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, which was recognized within Earnings (losses) from equity method investments in our consolidated statements of income.
(b)The carrying value of this investment is affected by fluctuations in the exchange rate of the euro.
(c)This investment is reported using the hypothetical liquidation at book value (“HLBV”) model, which may be different than pro rata ownership percentages, primarily due to the capital structure of the partnership agreement.
(d)The carrying value of this investment is affected by fluctuations in the exchange rate of the Norwegian krone.
(e)We recognized our $4.6 million proportionate share of an impairment charge recorded on this investment during the six months ended June 30, 2022, which was reflected within Earnings (losses) from equity method investments in our consolidated statements of income. The estimated fair value of the investment is based on the estimated selling price of the international office facility owned by the investment, and the fair value of the non-recourse mortgage encumbering the property also approximates the fair value of the property.
(f)We own 12,208,243 shares of common stock of WLT, which we accounted for as an equity method investment in real estate as of December 31, 2021, but was reclassified to equity securities at fair value within Other assets, net on our consolidated balance sheets in January 2022 (Note 8).
We received aggregate distributions of $18.4 million and $11.1 million from our other unconsolidated real estate investments for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the aggregate unamortized basis differences on our unconsolidated real estate investments were $7.6 million and $7.9 million, respectively.
Note 8. Fair Value Measurements
The fair value of an asset is defined as the exit price, which is the amount that would either be received when an asset is sold or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The guidance establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers are: Level 1, for which quoted market prices for identical instruments are available in active markets, such as money market funds, equity securities, and U.S. Treasury securities; Level 2, for which there are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the instrument, such as certain derivative instruments including interest rate caps, interest rate swaps, and foreign currency collars; and Level 3, for securities that do not fall into Level 1 or Level 2 and for which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring us to develop our own assumptions.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
Items Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
The methods and assumptions described below were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument. For significant Level 3 items, we have also provided the unobservable inputs.
Derivative Assets and Liabilities — Our derivative assets and liabilities, which are included in Other assets, net and Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities, respectively, in the consolidated financial statements, are comprised of foreign currency collars, interest rate swaps, interest rate caps, and stock warrants (Note 9).
The valuation of our derivative instruments (excluding stock warrants) is determined using a discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, as well as observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves, spot and forward rates, and implied volatilities. We incorporate credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both our own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. In adjusting the fair value of our derivative instruments for the effect of nonperformance risk, we have considered the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral postings, thresholds, mutual puts, and guarantees. These derivative instruments were classified as Level 2 as these instruments are custom, over-the-counter contracts with various bank counterparties that are not traded in an active market.
The stock warrants were measured at fair value using valuation models that incorporate market inputs and our own assumptions about future cash flows. We classified these assets as Level 3 because these assets are not traded in an active market.
Equity Method Investment in CESH — We have elected to account for our investment in CESH, which is included in Equity method investments in the consolidated financial statements, at fair value by selecting the equity method fair value option available under GAAP (Note 7). We classified this investment as Level 3 because we primarily used valuation models that incorporate unobservable inputs to determine its fair value.
Investment in Shares of Lineage Logistics — We have elected to apply the measurement alternative under Accounting Standards Update 2016-01, Financial Instruments — Overall (Subtopic 825-10) to account for our investment in shares of Lineage Logistics (a cold storage REIT), which is included in Other assets, net in the consolidated financial statements. Under this alternative, the carrying value is adjusted for any impairments or changes in fair value resulting from observable transactions for similar or identical investments in the issuer. We classified this investment as Level 3 because it is not traded in an active market. We recognized non-cash unrealized gains on our investment in shares of Lineage Logistics of $23.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021, due to a secondary market transaction at a higher price per share, which was recorded within Other gains and (losses) in the consolidated financial statements. In addition, during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, we received cash dividends of $4.3 million and $6.4 million, respectively, from our investment in shares of Lineage Logistics, which was recorded within Non-operating income in the consolidated financial statements. The fair value of this investment was $366.3 million at both June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.
Investment in Shares of GCIF — We account for our investment in shares of Guggenheim Credit Income Fund (“GCIF”), which is included in Other assets, net in the consolidated financial statements, at fair value. We classified this investment as Level 2 because we used a quoted price from an inactive market to determine its fair value. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we received liquidating distributions from our investment in shares of GCIF totaling $1.1 million, which reduced the cost basis of our investment (in March 2021, GCIF announced its intention to liquidate and to distribute substantially all of its assets). The fair value of our investment in shares of GCIF was $3.3 million and $4.3 million at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.
Investment in Preferred Shares of WLT — In January 2022, WLT redeemed in full our 1,300,000 shares of its preferred stock for gross proceeds of $65.0 million (based on the liquidation preference of $50.00 per share). In connection with this redemption, we reclassified an unrealized gain on this investment of $18.7 million from Accumulated other comprehensive loss to Other gains and (losses) in the consolidated financial statements (Note 12). Prior to this redemption, we accounted for this investment, which was included in Other assets, net in the consolidated financial statements, as available-for-sale debt securities at fair value (Level 3). During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we received cash dividends of $0.9 million from our investment in preferred shares of WLT, which was recorded within Non-operating income in the consolidated financial statements. The fair value of our investment in preferred shares of WLT was $65.0 million as of December 31, 2021.
W. P. Carey 6/30/2022 10-Q – 23
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
Investment in Common Shares of WLT — In January 2022, we reclassified our investment in 12,208,243 shares of common stock of WLT from equity method investments to equity securities, since we no longer have significant influence over WLT, following the redemption of our investment in preferred shares of WLT, as described above. As a result, we account for this investment, which is included in Other assets, net in the consolidated financial statements, at fair value. We classified this investment as Level 3 because it is not traded in an active market. The carrying value of this investment was $33.4 million as of December 31, 2021, which was included within Equity method investments in the consolidated financial statements. We recognized non-cash unrealized gains of $43.4 million on our investment in common shares of WLT during the six months ended June 30, 2022, reflecting the most recently published net asset value of WLT, which was recorded within Other gains and (losses) in the consolidated financial statements. The fair value of our investment in common shares of WLT was $76.8 million as of June 30, 2022.
We did not have any transfers into or out of Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 category of measurements during either the six months ended June 30, 2022 or 2021. Gains and losses (realized and unrealized) recognized on items measured at fair value on a recurring basis included in earnings are reported within Other gains and (losses) on our consolidated financial statements.

(a)The carrying value of Senior Unsecured Notes, net (Note 10) includes unamortized deferred financing costs of $25.6 million and $28.7 million at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The carrying value of Non-recourse mortgages, net includes unamortized deferred financing costs of less than $0.1 million at both June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.
(b)The carrying value of Senior Unsecured Notes, net includes unamortized discount of $26.0 million and $29.2 million at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The carrying value of Non-recourse mortgages, net includes unamortized discount of $0.4 million and $0.8 million at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.
(c)We determined the estimated fair value of the Senior Unsecured Notes using observed market prices in an open market, which may experience limited trading volume.
(d)We determined the estimated fair value of our non-recourse mortgage loans using a discounted cash flow model that estimates the present value of the future loan payments by discounting such payments at current estimated market interest rates. The estimated market interest rates consider interest rate risk and the value of the underlying collateral, which includes quality of the collateral, the credit quality of the tenant/obligor, and the time until maturity.
We estimated that our other financial assets and liabilities, including amounts outstanding under our Senior Unsecured Credit Facility (Note 10), but excluding finance receivables (Note 5), had fair values that approximated their carrying values at both June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.
Items Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis (Including Impairment Charges)
We periodically assess whether there are any indicators that the value of our real estate investments may be impaired or that their carrying value may not be recoverable. There have been no significant changes in our impairment policies from what was disclosed in the 2021 Annual Report.

Impairment charges, and their related triggering events and fair value measurements, recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 were as follows:
Land, Buildings and Improvements and Intangibles
The impairment charges described below are reflected within Impairment charges in our consolidated statements of income.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, we recognized impairment charges totaling $6.2 million on two properties in order to reduce their carrying values to their estimated fair values, which approximated their estimated selling prices.
During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we recognized an impairment charge of $10.9 million on a property in order to reduce its carrying value to its estimated fair value, which declined due to changes in expected cash flows related to the existing tenant’s lease expiration in 2023. The fair value measurement was determined by estimating discounted cash flows using two significant unobservable inputs, which were the cash flow discount rate (14.0%) and terminal capitalization rate (11.0%)
In March 2022, we entered into a transaction to restructure certain leases with Pendragon PLC (a tenant at certain automotive dealerships in the United Kingdom). Under this restructuring, we extended the leases on 30 properties by 11 years (no change to rent) and entered into an agreement to dispose of 12 properties, with the tenant continuing to pay rent until the earlier of sale date or certain specified dates over the following 12 months. As a result, during the six months ended June 30, 2022, we recognized impairment charges totaling $9.3 million on six of these properties in order to reduce the carrying values of the properties to their estimated fair values. The fair value measurements for the properties were determined using a direct capitalization rate analysis; the capitalization rate for the various scenarios ranged from 4.75% to 10.00%.
Equity Method Investments
The other-than-temporary impairment charges described below are reflected within Earnings (losses) from equity method investments in our consolidated statements of income.
During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we recognized an other-than-temporary impairment charge of $6.8 million on a jointly owned real estate investment to reduce the carrying value of our investment to its estimated fair value, which declined due to changes in expected cash flows related to the existing tenant’s lease expiration in 2028. The fair value measurement was determined by estimating discounted cash flows using three significant unobservable inputs, which were the cash flow discount rate (5.75%), residual discount rate (7.50%), and residual capitalization rate (6.75%).

Note 9. Risk Management and Use of Derivative Financial Instruments
Risk Management
In the normal course of our ongoing business operations, we encounter economic risk. There are four main components of economic risk that impact us: interest rate risk, credit risk, market risk, and foreign currency risk. We are primarily subject to interest rate risk on our interest-bearing liabilities, including our Senior Unsecured Credit Facility (Note 10) and unhedged variable-rate non-recourse mortgage loans. Credit risk is the risk of default on our operations and our tenants’ inability or unwillingness to make contractually required payments. Market risk includes changes in the value of our properties and related loans, Senior Unsecured Notes, other securities, and the shares or limited partnership units we hold in the Managed Programs, due to changes in interest rates or other market factors. We own investments in North America, Europe, and Japan and are subject to risks associated with fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates.
Derivative Financial Instruments
There have been no significant changes in our derivative financial instrument policies from what was disclosed in the 2021 Annual Report. At both June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, no cash collateral had been posted nor received for any of our derivative positions.

Interest Rate Swaps and Caps
We are exposed to the impact of interest rate changes primarily through our borrowing activities. To limit this exposure, we generally seek long-term debt financing on a fixed-rate basis. However, from time to time, we or our investment partners have obtained, and may in the future obtain, variable-rate, non-recourse mortgage loans and, as a result, we have entered into, and may continue to enter into, interest rate swap agreements or interest rate cap agreements with counterparties. Interest rate swaps, which effectively convert the variable-rate debt service obligations of a loan to a fixed rate, are agreements in which one party exchanges a stream of interest payments for a counterparty’s stream of cash flow over a specific period. The notional, or face, amount on which the swaps are based is not exchanged. Interest rate caps limit the effective borrowing rate of variable-rate debt obligations while allowing participants to share in downward shifts in interest rates. Our objective in using these derivatives is to limit our exposure to interest rate movements.
The interest rate swaps and caps that our consolidated subsidiaries had outstanding at June 30, 2022 are summarized as follows (currency in thousands):
Interest Rate Derivatives | Number of Instruments | Notional Amount | Fair Value at June 30, 2022 (a) | ||||||||||||||||||||

__________
(a)Fair value amounts are based on the exchange rate of the euro at June 30, 2022, as applicable.
Foreign Currency Collars
We are exposed to foreign currency exchange rate movements, primarily in the euro and, to a lesser extent, the British pound sterling, the Norwegian krone, and certain other currencies. In order to hedge certain of our foreign currency cash flow exposures, we enter into foreign currency collars. A foreign currency collar consists of a written call option and a purchased put option to sell the foreign currency at a range of predetermined exchange rates. A foreign currency collar guarantees that the exchange rate of the currency will not fluctuate beyond the range of the options’ strike prices. Our foreign currency collars have maturities of 62 months or less.
The following table presents the foreign currency collars that we had outstanding at June 30, 2022 (currency in thousands):

Credit Risk-Related Contingent Features
We measure our credit exposure on a counterparty basis as the net positive aggregate estimated fair value of our derivatives, net of any collateral received. No collateral was received as of June 30, 2022. At June 30, 2022, our total credit exposure and the maximum exposure to any single counterparty was $43.8 million and $8.5 million, respectively.
W. P. Carey 6/30/2022 10-Q – 28
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
Some of the agreements we have with our derivative counterparties contain cross-default provisions that could trigger a declaration of default on our derivative obligations if we default, or are capable of being declared in default, on certain of our indebtedness. At June 30, 2022, we had not been declared in default on any of our derivative obligations. The estimated fair value of our derivatives in a net liability position was $2.2 million at December 31, 2021, which included accrued interest and any nonperformance risk adjustments (there was no such liability balance at June 30, 2022). If we had breached any of these provisions at December 31, 2021, we could have been required to settle our obligations under these agreements at their aggregate termination value of $2.3 million.
Net Investment Hedges
Borrowings under our Senior Unsecured Notes, Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility, and Unsecured Term Loans (all as defined in Note 10) denominated in euro, British pounds sterling, or Japanese yen are designated as, and are effective as, economic hedges of our net investments in foreign entities.
Exchange rate variations impact our financial results because the financial results of our foreign subsidiaries are translated to U.S. dollars each period, with the effect of exchange rate variations being recorded in Other comprehensive (loss) income as part of the cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment. As a result, changes in the value of our borrowings under our euro-denominated senior notes and changes in the value of our euro, Japanese yen, and British pound sterling borrowings under our Senior Unsecured Credit Facility, related to changes in the spot rates, will be reported in the same manner as foreign currency translation adjustments, which are recorded in Other comprehensive (loss) income as part of the cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment. Such gains (losses) related to non-derivative net investment hedges were $236.4 million and $(44.5) million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $313.3 million and $98.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Note 10. Debt
Senior Unsecured Credit Facility
On February 20, 2020, we entered into the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Facility, which had capacity of approximately $2.1 billion, comprised of (i) a $1.8 billion unsecured revolving credit facility for our working capital needs, acquisitions, and other general corporate purposes (our “Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility”), (ii) a £150.0 million term loan (our “Term Loan”), and (iii) a €96.5 million delayed draw term loan (our “Delayed Draw Term Loan”). We refer to our Term Loan and Delayed Draw Term Loan collectively as the “Unsecured Term Loans” and the entire facility collectively as our “Senior Unsecured Credit Facility.”
The Senior Unsecured Credit Facility includes the ability to borrow in certain currencies other than U.S. dollars and has a maturity date of February 20, 2025. The aggregate principal amount (of revolving and term loans) available under the Senior Unsecured Credit Facility may be increased up to an amount not to exceed the U.S. dollar equivalent of $2.75 billion, subject to the conditions to increase set forth in our Credit Agreement, as described above.
In April 2022, we entered into a Second Amendment to the Credit Agreement to increase the Term Loan to £270.0 million and the Delayed Draw Term Loan to €215.0 million, thereby increasing the total capacity of our Senior Unsecured Credit Facility to approximately $2.4 billion. There were no other changes to the terms of our Credit Agreement. We used the approximately $300 million of proceeds from this increase in the capacity of our Unsecured Term Loans to partially repay amounts outstanding under our Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility.
At June 30, 2022, our Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility had available capacity of approximately $1.4 billion (net of amounts reserved for standby letters of credit totaling $0.6 million). We incur an annual facility fee of 0.20% of the total commitment on our Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility, which is included within Interest expense in our consolidated statements of income.

Senior Unsecured Notes
As set forth in the table below, we have euro and U.S. dollar-denominated senior unsecured notes outstanding with an aggregate principal balance outstanding of $5.5 billion at June 30, 2022 (the “Senior Unsecured Notes”).
We redeemed the €500.0 million of 2.0% Senior Notes due 2023 in March 2021. In connection with this redemption, we paid a “make-whole” amount of $26.2 million (based on the exchange rate of the euro as of the date of redemption) and recognized a loss on extinguishment of $28.2 million, which is included within Other gains and (losses) on our consolidated statements of income for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
Interest on the Senior Unsecured Notes is payable annually in arrears for our euro-denominated senior notes and semi-annually for U.S. dollar-denominated senior notes. The Senior Unsecured Notes can be redeemed at par within three months of their respective maturities, or we can call the notes at any time for the principal, accrued interest, and a make-whole amount based upon the applicable government bond yield plus 20 to 35 basis points.

Covenants
The Credit Agreement, each of the Senior Unsecured Notes, and certain of our non-recourse mortgage loan agreements include customary financial maintenance covenants that require us to maintain certain ratios and benchmarks at the end of each quarter. There have been no significant changes in our debt covenants from what was disclosed in the 2021 Annual Report. We were in compliance with all of these covenants at June 30, 2022.
Non-Recourse Mortgages
At June 30, 2022, the weighted-average interest rate for our total non-recourse mortgage notes payable was 3.8% (fixed-rate and variable-rate non-recourse mortgage notes payable were 4.8% and 1.9%, respectively), with maturity dates ranging from August 2022 to September 2031.
Repayments
During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we (i) prepaid a non-recourse mortgage loan of $10.4 million and (ii) repaid a non-recourse mortgage loan at maturity with a principal balance of approximately $2.5 million. We recognized a net loss on extinguishment of debt of $1.1 million on these repayments, which is included within Other gains and (losses) on our consolidated statements of income.

Note 11. Commitments and Contingencies
At June 30, 2022, we were not involved in any material litigation. Various claims and lawsuits arising in the normal course of business are pending against us. The results of these proceedings are not expected to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.
Note 12. Stock-Based Compensation and Equity
Stock-Based Compensation
We maintain several stock-based compensation plans, which are more fully described in the 2021 Annual Report. There have been no significant changes to the terms and conditions of any of our stock-based compensation plans or arrangements during the six months ended June 30, 2022. We recorded stock-based compensation expense of $9.8 million and $9.0 million during the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $17.6 million and $14.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, which was included in Stock-based compensation expense in the consolidated financial statements.

Restricted and Conditional Awards
Nonvested restricted share awards (“RSAs”), restricted share units (“RSUs”), and performance share units (“PSUs”) at June 30, 2022 and changes during the six months ended June 30, 2022 were as follows:
RSA and RSU Awards | PSU Awards | ||||||||||||||||||||||
Shares | Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value | Shares | Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value | ||||||||||||||||||||

Nonvested at June 30, 2022 (d) | 377,396 | $ | 75.65 | 520,935 | $ | 89.53 |
__________
(a)The grant date fair value of RSAs and RSUs reflect our stock price on the date of grant on a one-for-one basis. The grant date fair value of PSUs was determined utilizing (i) a Monte Carlo simulation model to generate an estimate of our future stock price over the three-year performance period and (ii) future financial performance projections. To estimate the fair value of PSUs granted during the six months ended June 30, 2022, we used a risk-free interest rate of 1.2%, an expected volatility rate of 36.7%, and assumed a dividend yield of zero.
(b)The grant date fair value of shares vested during the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $25.2 million. Employees have the option to take immediate delivery of the shares upon vesting or defer receipt to a future date pursuant to previously made deferral elections. At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had an obligation to issue 1,181,947 and 1,104,020 shares, respectively, of our common stock underlying such deferred awards, which is recorded within Total stockholders’ equity as a Deferred compensation obligation of $57.0 million and $49.8 million, respectively.
(c)Vesting and payment of the PSUs is conditioned upon certain company and/or market performance goals being met during the relevant three-year performance period. The ultimate number of PSUs to be vested will depend on the extent to which the performance goals are met and can range from zero to three times the original awards. As a result, we recorded adjustments at June 30, 2022 to reflect the number of shares expected to be issued when the PSUs vest.
(d)At June 30, 2022, total unrecognized compensation expense related to these awards was approximately $47.5 million, with an aggregate weighted-average remaining term of 2.2 years.

ATM Program
On May 2, 2022, we established a continuous “at-the-market” offering program (“ATM Program”) with a syndicate of banks, pursuant to which shares of our common stock having an aggregate gross sales price of up to $1.0 billion may be sold (i) directly through or to the banks acting as sales agents or as principal for their own accounts or (ii) participating banks or their affiliates acting as forward sellers on behalf of any forward purchasers pursuant to a forward sale agreement (our “ATM Forwards”). Effective as of that date, we terminated a prior ATM Program that was established on August 9, 2019.
Our prior ATM Program is discussed in the 2021 Annual Report. The following table sets forth certain information regarding the issuance of shares of our common stock under our prior ATM Program during the periods presented (net proceeds in thousands):

Net proceeds | $ | 39,101 | $ | 162,292 | $ | 218,095 | $ | 302,512 |
Forward Equity
We expect to settle the ATM Forwards in full on or prior to the maturity date of each ATM Forward via physical delivery of the outstanding shares of common stock in exchange for cash proceeds. However, subject to certain exceptions, we may also elect to cash settle or net share settle all or any portion of our obligations under any ATM Forwards. The forward sale price that we will receive upon physical settlement of the ATM Forwards will be (i) subject to adjustment on a daily basis based on a floating interest rate factor equal to a specified daily rate less a spread (i.e., if the specified daily rate is less than the spread on any day, the interest rate factor will result in a daily reduction of the applicable forward sale price) and (ii) decreased based on amounts related to expected dividends on shares of our common stock during the term of the ATM Forwards.
We determined that our ATM Forwards meet the criteria for equity classification and are therefore exempt from derivative accounting. We recorded the ATM Forwards at fair value at inception, which we determined to be zero. Subsequent changes to fair value are not required under equity classification.
In addition, we refer to our three forward equity offerings presented below as the June 2020 Equity Forwards, June 2021 Equity Forwards, and August 2021 Equity Forwards (collectively, the “Equity Forwards”), which are discussed in the 2021 Annual Report.

__________
(a)We expect to settle the Equity Forwards in full within 18 months of the respective agreement dates via physical delivery of the outstanding shares of common stock in exchange for cash proceeds, although we may elect cash settlement or net share settlement for all or a portion of our obligations under the Equity Forwards, subject to certain conditions.
(b)Includes 712,500, 787,500, and 675,000 shares of common stock purchased by certain underwriters in connection with the June 2020 Equity Forwards, June 2021 Equity Forwards, and August 2021 Equity Forwards, respectively, upon the exercise of 30-day options to purchase additional shares.
(c)All remaining outstanding shares were settled during the three months ended June 30, 2021.
(d)All remaining outstanding shares were settled during the three months ended December 31, 2021.
(e)We sold shares under our ATM Forwards during the second quarter of 2022. We did not settle any of the shares sold and therefore did not receive any proceeds from such sales.

Dividends Declared
During the second quarter of 2022, our Board declared a quarterly dividend of $1.059 per share, which was paid on July 15, 2022 to stockholders of record as of June 30, 2022.
During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we declared dividends totaling $2.116 per share.
Note 13. Income Taxes
We elected to be treated as a REIT and believe that we have been organized and have operated in such a manner to maintain our qualification as a REIT for federal and state income tax purposes. As a REIT, we are generally not subject to corporate level federal income taxes on earnings distributed to our stockholders. Since inception, we have distributed at least 100% of our taxable income annually. Accordingly, we have not included any provisions for federal income taxes related to the REIT in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.
Certain of our subsidiaries have elected TRS status. A TRS may provide certain services considered impermissible for REITs and may hold assets that REITs may not hold directly. We also own real property in jurisdictions outside the United States through foreign subsidiaries and are subject to income taxes on our pre-tax income earned from properties in such countries. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include an interim tax provision for our TRSs and foreign subsidiaries, as necessary, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.
W. P. Carey 6/30/2022 10-Q – 36
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
Current income tax expense was $6.6 million and $9.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $14.9 million and $17.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Deferred income tax benefit (expense) was $0.4 million and $(0.2) million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $1.6 million and $2.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Note 14. Property Dispositions
We have an active capital recycling program, with a goal of extending the average lease term through reinvestment, improving portfolio credit quality through dispositions and acquisitions of assets, increasing the asset criticality factor in our portfolio, and/or executing strategic dispositions of assets. We may decide to dispose of a property when it is vacant as a result of tenants vacating space, tenants electing not to renew their leases, tenant insolvency, or lease rejection in the bankruptcy process. In such cases, we assess whether we can obtain the highest value from the property by selling it, as opposed to re-leasing it. We may also sell a property when we receive an unsolicited offer or negotiate a price for an investment that is consistent with our strategy for that investment. When it is appropriate to do so, we classify the property as an asset held for sale on our consolidated balance sheet. All property dispositions are recorded within our Real Estate segment and are also discussed in Note 4.
2022 — During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, we sold eight and 14 properties, respectively, for total proceeds, net of selling costs, of $88.4 million and $115.1 million, respectively, and recognized a net gain on these sales totaling $31.1 million and $42.4 million, respectively (inclusive of income taxes totaling less than $0.1 million for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, recognized upon sale).
2021 — During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, we sold ten and 12 properties, respectively, for total proceeds, net of selling costs, of $85.0 million and $98.4 million, respectively, and recognized a net gain on these sales totaling $19.8 million and $29.2 million, respectively (inclusive of income taxes totaling $3.7 million and $3.8 million, respectively, recognized upon sale).

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is intended to assist in understanding our financial statements and the reasons for changes in certain key components of our financial statements from period to period. This item also provides our perspective on our financial position and liquidity, as well as certain other factors that may affect our future results. The discussion also breaks down the financial results of our business by segment to provide a better understanding of how these segments and their results affect our financial condition and results of operations. Our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with the 2021 Annual Report and subsequent reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Refer to Item 1 of the 2021 Annual Report for a description of our business.
Significant Developments
Proposed Merger with CPA:18 – Global
On February 27, 2022, we, CPA:18 – Global, CPA:18 LP, and certain of our subsidiaries entered into the Merger Agreement, pursuant to which CPA:18 – Global will merge with and into one of our indirect subsidiaries in exchange for shares of our common stock and cash (Note 1). The Proposed Merger and related transactions were approved by the stockholders of CPA:18 – Global at a special meeting on July 26, 2022. We currently expect the transaction to close on August 1, 2022.
Financial Highlights
During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we completed the following (as further described in the consolidated financial statements):
Real Estate
Investments
•We funded approximately $37.3 million for a construction loan to build a retail complex in Las Vegas, Nevada, during the six months ended June 30, 2022. Through June 30, 2022, we have funded $141.0 million (Note 7).
•We committed to fund two build-to-suit or expansion projects totaling $24.9 million. We currently expect to complete the projects in 2022 and 2023 (Note 4).
Dispositions
•As part of our active capital recycling program, we disposed of 14 properties for total proceeds, net of selling costs, of $115.1 million (Note 14).
•In January 2022, WLT redeemed in full our 1,300,000 shares of its preferred stock for gross proceeds of $65.0 million (Note 8).
Financing and Capital Markets Transactions
•On May 2, 2022, we established a $1.0 billion ATM Program, under which we may issue shares directly or defer delivery to a later date through our ATM Forwards. As of June 30, 2022, we had approximately $301.0 million of available proceeds under our ATM Forwards (Note 12).
•We issued 2,740,295 shares of our common stock under our prior ATM Program at a weighted-average price of $80.79 per share, for net proceeds of $218.1 million (Note 12).
•In April 2022, we increased the Term Loan to £270.0 million and the Delayed Draw Term Loan to €215.0 million, thereby increasing the total capacity of our Senior Unsecured Credit Facility to approximately $2.4 billion. We used the approximately $300 million of proceeds from this increase in the capacity of our Unsecured Term Loans to partially repay amounts outstanding under our Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility (Note 10).
W. P. Carey 6/30/2022 10-Q – 41
Investment Management
Assets Under Management
•As of June 30, 2022, we managed total assets of approximately $2.5 billion on behalf of CPA:18 – Global and CESH. The vast majority of our Investment Management earnings are generated from asset management fees and our ownership interests in CPA:18 – Global and CESH. However, subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, upon consummation of the Proposed Merger, we will no longer receive fees and distributions from CPA:18 – Global, and as a result, Investment Management earnings are expected to decline in future periods (Note 1).
Dividends to Stockholders
We declared cash dividends totaling $2.116 per share during the six months ended June 30, 2022, comprised of two quarterly dividends per share of $1.057 and $1.059 (Note 12).

W. P. Carey 6/30/2022 10-Q – 42
Revenues
Total revenues increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the same periods in 2021. Real Estate revenue increased primarily due to higher lease revenues (substantially as a result of property acquisition activity and rent escalations, partially offset by the impact of the weakening euro and British pound sterling, as well as property dispositions) and higher lease termination and other income for the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021 (Note 4).
Net Income Attributable to W. P. Carey
Net income attributable to W. P. Carey increased for the three months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021. Net income from Real Estate attributable to W. P. Carey increased primarily due to a non-cash unrealized gain recognized on our investment in common shares of WLT (Note 8), a higher aggregate gain on sale of real estate (Note 14), and the impact of real estate acquisitions, partially offset by the impact of the weakening euro and British pound sterling, and impairment charges recognized during the current year period.
Net income attributable to W. P. Carey increased for the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021. Net income from Real Estate attributable to W. P. Carey increased primarily due to a lower loss on extinguishment of debt (Note 10), non-cash unrealized gains recognized on our investment in common shares of WLT (Note 8), the impact of real estate acquisitions, and a higher aggregate gain on sale of real estate, partially offset by the impact of the weakening euro and British pound sterling, higher impairment charges (Note 8), and a non-cash unrealized gain recognized on our investment in shares of Lineage Logistics during the prior year period (Note 8).
AFFO
AFFO increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the same periods in 2021, primarily due to higher lease revenues from net investment activity and rent escalations, partially offset by the impact of the weakening euro and British pound sterling, as well as the cessation of cash dividends from our investment in preferred shares of WLT following the redemption of that investment in January 2022 (Note 8).

Rent Collections

Terms and Definitions
Pro Rata Metrics — The portfolio information above contains certain metrics prepared on a pro rata basis. We refer to these metrics as pro rata metrics. We have a number of investments, usually with our affiliates, in which our economic ownership is less than 100%. On a full consolidation basis, we report 100% of the assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses of those investments that are deemed to be under our control or for which we are deemed to be the primary beneficiary, even if our ownership is less than 100%. Also, for all other jointly owned investments, which we do not control, we report our net investment and our net income or loss from that investment. On a pro rata basis, we generally present our proportionate share, based on our economic ownership of these jointly owned investments, of the portfolio metrics of those investments. Multiplying each of our jointly owned investments’ financial statement line items by our percentage ownership and adding or subtracting those amounts from our totals, as applicable, may not accurately depict the legal and economic implications of holding an ownership interest of less than 100% in our jointly owned investments.
ABR — ABR represents contractual minimum annualized base rent for our net-leased properties and reflects exchange rates as of June 30, 2022. If there is a rent abatement, we annualize the first monthly contractual base rent following the free rent period. ABR is not applicable to operating properties.

Results of Operations
We operate in two reportable segments: Real Estate and Investment Management. We evaluate our results of operations with a primary focus on increasing and enhancing the value, quality, and number of properties in our Real Estate segment. We focus our efforts on accretive investing and improving portfolio quality through re-leasing efforts, including negotiation of lease renewals, or selectively selling assets in order to increase value in our real estate portfolio. Through our Investment Management segment, we expect to continue to earn fees and other income from the management of the portfolios of the remaining Managed Programs until those programs reach the end of their respective life cycles. Refer to Note 15 for tables presenting the comparative results of our Real Estate and Investment Management segments.

Lease Revenues
“Existing net-leased properties” are those that we acquired or placed into service prior to January 1, 2021 and that were not sold or held for sale during the periods presented. For the periods presented, there were 1,108 existing net-leased properties.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the same periods in 2021, lease revenues from existing net-leased properties increased due to the following items (in millions):

(b)Primarily related to (i) straight-line rent adjustments as a result of contractual rental revenue from certain leases being deemed probable of collection and (ii) write-offs of above/below-market rent intangibles.
“Recently acquired net-leased properties” are those that we acquired or placed into service subsequent to December 31, 2020 and that were not sold or held for sale during the periods presented. Since January 1, 2021, we acquired 36 investments (comprised of 129 properties and six land parcels under buildings that we already own) and placed one property into service.
W. P. Carey 6/30/2022 10-Q – 51
“Net-leased properties sold or held for sale” include (i) 14 net-leased properties disposed of during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and (ii) 24 net-leased properties disposed of during the year ended December 31, 2021. Our dispositions are more fully described in Note 14.
Income from Direct Financing Leases and Loans Receivable
We currently present Income from direct financing leases and loans receivable on its own line item in the consolidated statements of income. Previously, income from direct financing leases was included within Lease revenues and income from loans receivable was included within Lease termination income and other in the consolidated statements of income. Prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the same periods in 2021, income from direct financing leases and loans receivable increased due to the following items (in millions):

Operating Property Revenues and Expenses
For the periods presented, we recorded operating property revenues from 11 operating properties, comprised of ten self-storage operating properties (which excludes nine self-storage properties accounted for under the equity method) and one hotel operating property. For our hotel operating property, revenues and expenses increased by (i) $1.5 million and $1.1 million, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021, and (ii) $3.0 million and $2.0 million, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021, reflecting higher occupancy as the hotel’s business recovers from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the same periods in 2021, depreciation and amortization expense for net-leased properties increased primarily due to the impact of net acquisition activity, partially offset by the weakening of foreign currencies (primarily the euro and British pound sterling) in relation to the U.S. dollar between the periods.
General and Administrative
All general and administrative expenses are attributed to our Real Estate segment.
For the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021, general and administrative expenses allocated to our Real Estate segment increased by $1.4 million, primarily due to higher compensation expense.
Property Expenses, Excluding Reimbursable Tenant Costs
For the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021, property expenses, excluding reimbursable tenant costs, increased by $2.9 million, primarily due to higher carrying costs related to tenant vacancies (which resulted in property expenses no longer being reimbursable) and costs associated with repositioning certain properties.
Stock-based Compensation Expense
Stock-based compensation expense is fully recognized within our Real Estate segment.
For the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021, stock-based compensation expense allocated to our Real Estate segment increased by $3.2 million, primarily due to changes in the projected payout for PSUs.

Interest Expense
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the same periods in 2021, interest expense decreased by $2.8 million and $8.4 million, respectively, primarily due to (i) the weakening of foreign currencies (primarily the euro and British pound sterling) in relation to the U.S. dollar between the periods, (ii) the reduction of our mortgage debt outstanding by prepaying or repaying at or close to maturity a total of $790.7 million of non-recourse mortgage loans with a weighted-average interest rate of 4.9% since January 1, 2021 (Note 10), and (iii) the redemption of the €500.0 million of 2.0% Senior Notes due 2023 in March 2021, partially offset by three senior unsecured notes issuances totaling $1.4 billion (based on the exchange rate of the euro on the date of issuance for our euro-denominated senior unsecured notes) with a weighted-average interest rate of 1.7% completed since January 1, 2021.

All of our foreign currency-denominated unsecured debt instruments were designated as net investment hedges during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

__________
(a)Increases for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the same periods in 2021 are primarily due to higher occupancy and unit rates at these self-storage facilities.
(b)Increase for the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021 is primarily due to higher rent collections at these retail properties, where certain rents were previously disputed and subsequently collected.
(c)Losses for the prior year periods were primarily due to the adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on WLT’s operations. We recorded losses from this investment on a one quarter lag. This investment was reclassified to equity securities at fair value within Other assets, net on our consolidated balance sheets in January 2022 (Note 8).

Provision for Income Taxes
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the same periods in 2021, provision for income taxes within our Real Estate segment decreased by $3.2 million and $2.7 million, respectively, primarily due to a one-time deferred tax expense recognized on a foreign property during the prior year periods and tax benefits recognized on certain foreign properties during the current year periods as a result of a tax court ruling.
Investment Management
We earn revenue as the advisor to the Managed Programs. For the periods presented, we acted as advisor to the following Managed Programs: CPA:18 – Global and CESH. The CWI 1 and CWI 2 Merger closed on April 13, 2020, and as a result, CWI 2 was renamed Watermark Lodging Trust, Inc., for which we provided certain services pursuant to a transition services agreement, which was terminated on October 13, 2021 (Note 3).
We no longer raise capital for new or existing funds, but we currently expect to continue managing CPA:18 – Global and CESH and earn the various fees described below through the end of their respective life cycles. Upon the expected completion of the Proposed Merger, we will no longer receive fees and distributions from CPA:18 – Global, and as a result, Investment Management earnings are expected to decline in future periods (Note 1). As of June 30, 2022, we managed total assets of approximately $2.5 billion on behalf of the Managed Programs.

Asset Management and Other Revenue
Asset management and other revenue includes asset management revenue, structuring revenue, and other advisory revenue. During the periods presented, we earned asset management revenue from (i) CPA:18 – Global based on the value of its real estate-related assets under management and (ii) CESH based on its gross assets under management at fair value. Asset management revenue may increase or decrease depending upon changes in the Managed Programs’ asset bases as a result of purchases, sales, or changes in the appraised value of the assets in their investment portfolios. For 2022, we receive asset management fees from (i) CPA:18 – Global in shares of its common stock through February 28, 2022; effective as of March 1, 2022, we receive asset management fees from CPA:18 – Global in cash in light of the Proposed Merger (Note 3), and (ii) CESH in cash.
We earn structuring and other advisory revenue when we structure new investments on behalf of the Managed Programs. Since we no longer raise capital for new or existing funds, structuring and other advisory revenue has recently been and is expected to be insignificant going forward.

(a)We are entitled to receive distributions of up to 10% of the Available Cash from the operating partnership of CPA:18 – Global, as defined in its operating partnership agreement (Note 3). Distributions of Available Cash received and earned from CPA:18 – Global fluctuate based on the timing of certain events, including acquisitions and dispositions.
(b)Increase for the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021 was due to an increase of $3.3 million from our investment in shares of CPA:18 – Global.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Sources and Uses of Cash During the Period
We use the cash flow generated from our investments primarily to meet our operating expenses, service debt, and fund dividends to stockholders. Our cash flows fluctuate periodically due to a number of factors, which may include, among other things: the timing of our equity and debt offerings; the timing of purchases and sales of real estate; the timing of the repayment of mortgage loans and receipt of lease revenues; the timing and amount of other lease-related payments; the timing of settlement of foreign currency transactions; changes in foreign currency exchange rates; the receipt of asset management fees in either shares of the common stock of CPA:18 – Global or cash; the timing of distributions from equity method investments; and the receipt of distributions of Available Cash from CPA:18 – Global. Despite these fluctuations, we believe that we will generate sufficient cash from operations to meet our normal recurring short-term and long-term liquidity needs. We may also use existing cash resources, available capacity under our Senior Unsecured Credit Facility, proceeds from dispositions of properties, and the issuance of additional debt or equity securities, such as issuances of common stock through our Equity Forwards and ATM Program (Note 12), in order to meet these needs. We assess our ability to access capital on an ongoing basis. Our sources and uses of cash during the period are described below.
Operating Activities — Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $48.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021, primarily due to an increase in cash flow generated from net investment activity and scheduled rent increases at existing properties, higher lease termination and other income, and lower interest expense.
Investing Activities — Our investing activities are generally comprised of real estate-related transactions (purchases and sales) and funding for build-to-suit activities and other capital expenditures on real estate. In addition to these types of transactions, during the six months ended June 30, 2022, we used $26.0 million to fund short-term loans to the Managed Programs, while $10.0 million of such loans were repaid (Note 3). We also received $8.1 million in distributions from equity method investments.
Financing Activities — Our financing activities are generally comprised of borrowings and repayments under our Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility, issuances of the Senior Unsecured Notes, payments and prepayments of non-recourse mortgage loans, and payments of dividends to stockholders. In addition to these types of transactions, during the six months ended June 30, 2022, we received $218.1 million in net proceeds from the issuance of shares under our prior ATM Program (Note 12).

(a)Aggregate debt balance includes unamortized discount, net, totaling $28.2 million and $30.9 million as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, and unamortized deferred financing costs totaling $25.7 million and $28.8 million as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.
(b)The impact of our interest rate swaps and caps is reflected in the weighted-average interest rates.
Cash Resources
At June 30, 2022, our cash resources consisted of the following:
•cash and cash equivalents totaling $103.6 million. Of this amount, $65.1 million, at then-current exchange rates, was held in foreign subsidiaries, and we could be subject to restrictions or significant costs should we decide to repatriate these amounts;
•our Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility, with available capacity of approximately $1.4 billion (net of amounts reserved for standby letters of credit totaling $0.6 million);
•available proceeds under our Equity Forwards of approximately $285.0 million (based on 3,925,000 remaining shares outstanding and a net offering price of $72.61 per share as of June 30, 2022);
•available proceeds under our ATM Forwards of approximately $301.0 million (based on 3,674,187 shares outstanding and a weighted-average net offering price of $81.93 per share as of June 30, 2022); and
•unleveraged properties that had an aggregate asset carrying value of approximately $12.4 billion at June 30, 2022, although there can be no assurance that we would be able to obtain financing for these properties.
W. P. Carey 6/30/2022 10-Q – 59
Historically, we have also accessed the capital markets through additional debt (denominated in both U.S. dollars and euros) and equity offerings. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we issued 2,740,295 shares of common stock under our prior ATM Program for net proceeds of $218.1 million (Note 12). As of June 30, 2022, we had approximately $285.0 million of available proceeds under our Equity Forwards (Note 12). As of June 30, 2022, we had approximately $301.0 million of available proceeds under our ATM Forwards (Note 12).
Our cash resources can be used for working capital needs and other commitments and may be used for future investments.
Cash Requirements and Liquidity
As of June 30, 2022, we had (i) $103.6 million of cash and cash equivalents, (ii) approximately $1.4 billion of available capacity under our Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility (net of amounts reserved for standby letters of credit totaling $0.6 million), (iii) available proceeds under our Equity Forwards of approximately $285.0 million (based on 3,925,000 remaining shares outstanding and a net offering price of $72.61 per share as of that date), and (iv) available proceeds under our ATM Forwards of approximately $301.0 million (based on 3,674,187 remaining shares outstanding and a weighted-average net offering price of $81.93 per share as of that date). Our Senior Unsecured Credit Facility includes a $1.8 billion Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility and Unsecured Term Loans outstanding totaling $548.3 million as of June 30, 2022 (Note 10), and is scheduled to mature on February 20, 2025. As of June 30, 2022, scheduled debt principal payments total $30.7 million through December 31, 2022 and $209.0 million through December 31, 2023, and our Senior Unsecured Notes do not start to mature until April 2024 (Note 10).
During the next 12 months following June 30, 2022 and thereafter, we expect that our significant cash requirements will include:
•paying dividends to our stockholders;
•making scheduled interest payments on our debt obligations (future interest payments total $798.3 million, with $171.6 million due during the next 12 months; interest on unhedged variable-rate debt obligations was calculated using the applicable annual variable interest rates and balances outstanding at June 30, 2022);
•other normal recurring operating expenses.
We expect to fund these cash requirements through cash generated from operations, cash received from dispositions of properties, the use of our cash reserves or unused amounts on our Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility (as described above), issuances of common stock through our Equity Forwards and/or ATM Program (Note 12), and potential issuances of additional debt or equity securities. We may also choose to pursue prepayments of certain of our non-recourse mortgage loan obligations, depending on our capital needs and market conditions at that time.
Our liquidity could be adversely affected by unanticipated costs, greater-than-anticipated operating expenses, and the adverse impact of the continuing COVID-19 pandemic. To the extent that our working capital reserve is insufficient to satisfy our cash requirements, additional funds may be provided from cash from operations to meet our normal recurring short-term and long-term liquidity needs. We may also use existing cash resources, available capacity under our Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility, mortgage loan proceeds, and the issuance of additional debt or equity securities to meet these needs. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts our liquidity and debt covenants will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence. The potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our tenants and properties could also have a material adverse effect on our liquidity and debt covenants.
Certain amounts disclosed above are based on the applicable foreign currency exchange rate at June 30, 2022.

Supplemental Financial Measures
In the real estate industry, analysts and investors employ certain non-GAAP supplemental financial measures in order to facilitate meaningful comparisons between periods and among peer companies. Additionally, in the formulation of our goals and in the evaluation of the effectiveness of our strategies, we use Funds from Operations (“FFO”) and AFFO, which are non-GAAP measures defined by our management. We believe that these measures are useful to investors to consider because they may assist them to better understand and measure the performance of our business over time and against similar companies. A description of FFO and AFFO and reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures are provided below.
Funds from Operations and Adjusted Funds from Operations
Due to certain unique operating characteristics of real estate companies, as discussed below, the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, Inc. (“NAREIT”), an industry trade group, has promulgated a non-GAAP measure known as FFO, which we believe to be an appropriate supplemental measure, when used in addition to and in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP, to reflect the operating performance of a REIT. The use of FFO is recommended by the REIT industry as a supplemental non-GAAP measure. FFO is not equivalent to, nor a substitute for, net income or loss as determined under GAAP.
We define FFO, a non-GAAP measure, consistent with the standards established by the White Paper on FFO approved by the Board of Governors of NAREIT, as restated in December 2018. The White Paper defines FFO as net income or loss computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains or losses from sales of property, impairment charges on real estate, gains or losses on changes in control of interests in real estate, and depreciation and amortization from real estate assets; and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and jointly owned investments. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and jointly owned investments are calculated to reflect FFO.
We also modify the NAREIT computation of FFO to adjust GAAP net income for certain non-cash charges, such as amortization of real estate-related intangibles, deferred income tax benefits and expenses, straight-line rent and related reserves, other non-cash rent adjustments, non-cash allowance for credit losses on loans receivable and direct financing leases, stock-based compensation, non-cash environmental accretion expense, amortization of discounts and premiums on debt, and amortization of deferred financing costs. Our assessment of our operations is focused on long-term sustainability and not on such non-cash items, which may cause short-term fluctuations in net income but have no impact on cash flows. Additionally, we exclude non-core income and expenses, such as gains or losses from extinguishment of debt and merger and acquisition expenses. We also exclude realized and unrealized gains/losses on foreign currency exchange rate movements (other than those realized on the settlement of foreign currency derivatives), which are not considered fundamental attributes of our business plan and do not affect our overall long-term operating performance. We refer to our modified definition of FFO as AFFO. We exclude these items from GAAP net income to arrive at AFFO as they are not the primary drivers in our decision-making process and excluding these items provides investors a view of our portfolio performance over time and makes it more comparable to other REITs that are currently not engaged in acquisitions, mergers, and restructuring, which are not part of our normal business operations. AFFO also reflects adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and jointly owned investments. We use AFFO as one measure of our operating performance when we formulate corporate goals, evaluate the effectiveness of our strategies, and determine executive compensation.
We believe that AFFO is a useful supplemental measure for investors to consider as we believe it will help them to better assess the sustainability of our operating performance without the potentially distorting impact of these short-term fluctuations. However, there are limits on the usefulness of AFFO to investors. For example, impairment charges and unrealized foreign currency losses that we exclude may become actual realized losses upon the ultimate disposition of the properties in the form of lower cash proceeds or other considerations. We use our FFO and AFFO measures as supplemental financial measures of operating performance. We do not use our FFO and AFFO measures as, nor should they be considered to be, alternatives to net income computed under GAAP, or as alternatives to net cash provided by operating activities computed under GAAP, or as indicators of our ability to fund our cash needs.

__________
(a)Amount for the six months ended June 30, 2022 includes our $4.6 million proportionate share of an impairment charge recognized on an equity method investment in real estate (Note 7). Amount for the six months ended June 30, 2021 includes a non-cash other-than-temporary impairment charge of $6.8 million recognized on an equity method investment in real estate (Note 8).
(b)Equity income, including amounts that are not typically recognized for FFO and AFFO, is recognized within Earnings (losses) from equity method investments on the consolidated statements of income. This represents adjustments to equity income to reflect FFO and AFFO on a pro rata basis.
(c)Adjustments disclosed elsewhere in this reconciliation are on a consolidated basis. This adjustment reflects our FFO or AFFO on a pro rata basis.
(d)Primarily comprised of gains and losses on extinguishment of debt, the mark-to-market fair value of equity securities, and foreign currency exchange rate movements, as well as non-cash allowance for credit losses on loans receivable and direct financing leases.
(e)Amounts for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 are primarily comprised of costs incurred in connection with the Proposed Merger (Note 1) and/or reversals of estimated liabilities for German real estate transfer taxes that were previously recorded in connection with mergers in prior years.
While we believe that FFO and AFFO are important supplemental measures, they should not be considered as alternatives to net income as an indication of a company’s operating performance. These non-GAAP measures should be used in conjunction with net income as defined by GAAP. FFO and AFFO, or similarly titled measures disclosed by other REITs, may not be comparable to our FFO and AFFO measures.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Market Risk
Market risk is the exposure to loss resulting from changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, and equity prices. The primary market risks that we are exposed to are interest rate risk and foreign currency exchange risk; however, we do not use derivative instruments to hedge credit/market risks or for speculative purposes. From time to time, we may enter into foreign currency collars to hedge our foreign currency cash flow exposures.
We are also exposed to further market risk as a result of tenant concentrations in certain industries and/or geographic regions, since adverse market factors (such as the COVID-19 pandemic) can affect the ability of tenants in a particular industry/region to meet their respective lease obligations. In order to manage this risk, we view our collective tenant roster as a portfolio and we attempt to diversify such portfolio so that we are not overexposed to a particular industry or geographic region.
Interest Rate Risk
The values of our real estate and related fixed-rate debt obligations, as well as the values of our unsecured debt obligations, are subject to fluctuations based on changes in interest rates. The value of our real estate is also subject to fluctuations based on local and regional economic conditions (including the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic) and changes in the creditworthiness of lessees, which may affect our ability to refinance property-level mortgage debt when balloon payments are scheduled, if we do not choose to repay the debt when due. Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors, including governmental monetary and tax policies, domestic and international economic and political conditions, and other factors beyond our control. An increase in interest rates would likely cause the fair value of our assets to decrease. Increases in interest rates may also have an impact on the credit profile of certain tenants.
We are exposed to the impact of interest rate changes primarily through our borrowing activities. To limit this exposure, we generally seek long-term debt financing on a fixed-rate basis. However, from time to time, we or our joint investment partners obtained, and may in the future obtain, variable-rate non-recourse mortgage loans and, as a result, we have entered into, and may continue to enter into, interest rate swap agreements or interest rate cap agreements with counterparties. See Note 9 for additional information on our interest rate swaps and caps.
At June 30, 2022, a significant portion (approximately 85.0%) of our long-term debt either bore interest at fixed rates or was swapped or capped to a fixed rate. Our debt obligations are more fully described in Note 10 and Liquidity and Capital Resources — Summary of Financing in Item 2 above. The following table presents principal cash flows based upon expected maturity dates of our debt obligations outstanding at June 30, 2022 (in thousands):
2022 (Remainder) | 2023 | 2024 | 2025 | 2026 | Thereafter | Total | Fair Value | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Fixed-rate debt (a) (b) | $ | 18,392 | $ | 87,272 | $ | 1,043,216 | $ | 498,911 | $ | 901,421 | $ | 3,185,790 | $ | 5,735,002 | $ | 5,191,465 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Variable-rate debt (a) | $ | 12,325 | $ | 91,047 | $ | 13,599 | $ | 967,563 | $ | — | $ | — | $ | 1,084,534 | $ | 1,081,834 |
__________
(a)Amounts are based on the exchange rate at June 30, 2022, as applicable.
(b)Amounts after 2023 are primarily comprised of principal payments for our Senior Unsecured Notes (Note 10).
The estimated fair value of our fixed-rate debt and our variable-rate debt that currently bears interest at fixed rates or has effectively been converted to a fixed rate through the use of interest rate swaps, or that has been subject to interest rate caps, is affected by changes in interest rates. Annual interest expense on our unhedged variable-rate debt that does not bear interest at fixed rates at June 30, 2022 would increase or decrease by $5.2 million for our euro-denominated debt, by $3.3 million for our British pound sterling-denominated debt, by $1.5 million for our U.S. dollar-denominated debt, and by $0.2 million for our Japanese yen-denominated debt, for each respective 1% change in annual interest rates.
W. P. Carey 6/30/2022 10-Q – 65
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
We own international investments, primarily in Europe, Canada, and Japan, and as a result are subject to risk from the effects of exchange rate movements in various foreign currencies, primarily the euro, the British pound sterling, the Canadian dollar, and the Japanese yen, which may affect future costs and cash flows. We have obtained, and may in the future obtain, non-recourse mortgage financing in the local currency. We have also completed several offerings of euro-denominated senior notes, and have borrowed under our Senior Unsecured Credit Facility in foreign currencies, including the euro, British pound sterling, and Japanese yen (Note 10). Volatile market conditions arising from the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 global pandemic, as well as other macroeconomic factors, may result in significant fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. To the extent that currency fluctuations increase or decrease rental revenues, as translated to U.S. dollars, the change in debt service (comprised of principal and interest, excluding balloon payments), as translated to U.S. dollars, will partially offset the effect of fluctuations in revenue and, to some extent, mitigate the risk from changes in foreign currency exchange rates. We estimate that, for a 1% increase or decrease in the exchange rate between the euro, British pound sterling, or Japanese yen and the U.S. dollar, there would be a corresponding change in the projected estimated cash flow (scheduled future rental revenues, net of scheduled future debt service payments for the next 12 months) for our consolidated foreign operations at June 30, 2022 of $2.6 million, $0.4 million, and less than $0.1 million, respectively, excluding the impact of our derivative instruments.
In addition, we may use currency hedging to further reduce the exposure to our equity cash flow. We are generally a net receiver of these currencies (we receive more cash than we pay out), and therefore our foreign operations benefit from a weaker U.S. dollar and are adversely affected by a stronger U.S. dollar, relative to the foreign currency.
We enter into foreign currency collars to hedge certain of our foreign currency cash flow exposures. See Note 9 for additional information on our foreign currency collars.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Concentrations of credit risk arise when a number of tenants are engaged in similar business activities or have similar economic risks or conditions that could cause them to default on their lease obligations to us. We regularly monitor our portfolio to assess potential concentrations of credit risk. While we believe our portfolio is well-diversified, it does contain concentrations in certain areas. There have been no material changes in our concentration of credit risk from what was disclosed in the 2021 Annual Report.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our disclosure controls and procedures include internal controls and other procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in this and other reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the required time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms; and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. It should be noted that no system of controls can provide complete assurance of achieving a company’s objectives and that future events may impact the effectiveness of a system of controls.
Our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, after conducting an evaluation, together with members of our management, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2022, have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were effective as of June 30, 2022 at a reasonable level of assurance.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1A. Risk Factors
We are including the following additional risk factor, which should be read in conjunction with our description of risk factors provided in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in our 2021 Annual Report:
Risks Related to Our Proposed Merger with CPA:18 – Global
Failure to complete the Proposed Merger could negatively affect us.
It is possible that the Proposed Merger may not be completed. The parties’ respective obligations to complete the Proposed Merger are subject to the satisfaction or waiver of specified conditions, some of which are beyond the control of CPA:18 – Global and us. If the Proposed Merger is not completed, we may be subject to a number of material risks, including the following:
•we will have incurred substantial costs and expenses related to the Proposed Merger, such as legal, accounting, and financial advisor fees, which will be payable by us even if the Proposed Merger is not completed, and are only subject to reimbursement from CPA:18 – Global under certain limited circumstances; and
•we may be required to pay CPA:18 – Global’s out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the Proposed Merger if the Merger Agreement is terminated under certain circumstances.
The future results of the combined company will suffer if the combined company does not effectively manage its expanded operations following the Proposed Merger.
Following the Proposed Merger, the combined company may continue to expand its operations through additional acquisitions and other strategic transactions, some of which may involve complex challenges. The future success of the combined company will depend, in part, upon its ability to manage its expansion opportunities, integrate new operations into its existing business in an efficient and timely manner, successfully monitor its operations, costs, regulatory compliance and service quality, and maintain other necessary internal controls. There can be no assurance that the combined company’s expansion or acquisition opportunities will be successful, or that the combined company will realize its expected operating efficiencies, cost savings, revenue enhancements, synergies or other benefits.
Goodwill resulting from the consummation of the Proposed Merger may adversely affect the combined company’s results of operations.
Potential impairment of goodwill resulting from the Proposed Merger could adversely affect the combined company’s financial condition and results of operations. The combined company will assess its goodwill and other intangible assets and long-lived assets for impairment annually and more frequently when required by GAAP. The combined company will be required to record an impairment charge if circumstances indicate that the asset carrying values exceed their fair values the combined company’s assessment of goodwill, other intangible assets, or long-lived assets could indicate that an impairment of the carrying value of such assets may have occurred that could result in a material, non-cash write-down of such assets, which could have a material adverse effect on its results of operations and future earnings.
