Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, or 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: capital markets; tenant credit quality; the general economic outlook; our expected range of Adjusted funds from operations, or AFFO; our corporate strategy; our capital structure; our portfolio lease terms; our international exposure and acquisition volume, including the effects of the United Kingdom’s referendum to approve an exit from the European Union; our expectations about tenant bankruptcies and interest coverage; statements regarding estimated or future economic performance and results, including our underlying assumptions, occupancy rate, credit ratings, and possible new acquisitions and dispositions by us and our investment management programs; the Managed Programs discussed herein, including their earnings; statements that we make regarding our ability to remain qualified for taxation as a real estate investment trust, or REIT; the impact of a recently issued pronouncement regarding accounting for leases; the amount and timing of any future dividends; our existing or future leverage and debt service obligations; our ability to sell shares under our “at the market” program and the use of proceeds from that program; our future prospects for growth; our projected assets under management; our future capital expenditure levels; our future financing transactions; our estimates of growth; and our plans to fund our future liquidity needs. 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 factors could also have material adverse effects on our business, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations, AFFO, 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, or the SEC, including but not limited to those described in Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, as filed with the SEC on February 24, 2017, or the 2016 Annual Report. Moreover, because we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment, new risks are likely to emerge from time to time. Given these risks and uncertainties, potential investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements as a prediction of future results, which speak only as of the date of this Report, unless noted otherwise. Except as required by federal securities laws and the rules and regulations of the SEC, we do not undertake to revise or update any forward-looking statements.

All references to “Notes” throughout the document refer to the footnotes to the consolidated financial statements of the registrant in Part I, Item 1. Financial Statements (Unaudited).

W. P. CAREY INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

Note 1. Business and Organization

W. P. Carey Inc., or W. P. Carey, is, together with its consolidated subsidiaries, a REIT that provides long-term financing via sale-leaseback and build-to-suit transactions for companies worldwide and manages a global investment portfolio. We invest primarily in commercial properties domestically and internationally. We earn revenue principally by leasing the properties we own to single corporate tenants, primarily on a triple-net lease basis, which generally requires each tenant to pay substantially all of the costs associated with operating and maintaining the property.

Originally founded in 1973, we reorganized as a REIT in September 2012 in connection with our merger with Corporate Property Associates 15 Incorporated. We refer to that merger as the CPA^®:15 Merger. On January 31, 2014, Corporate Property Associates 16 – Global Incorporated, or CPA^®:16 – Global, merged with and into us, which we refer to as the CPA^®:16 Merger. Our shares of common stock are listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “WPC.”

We have elected to be taxed as a REIT under Section 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code. As a REIT, we are not generally subject to United States federal income taxation other than from our taxable REIT subsidiaries, or TRSs, 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 hold all of our real estate assets attributable to our Owned Real Estate segment under the REIT structure, while the activities conducted by our Investment Management segment subsidiaries have been organized under TRSs.

Through our TRSs, we also earn revenue as the advisor to publicly owned, non-listed REITs, which are sponsored by us under the Corporate Property Associates, or CPA^®,brand name and invest in similar properties. At March 31, 2017, we were the advisor to Corporate Property Associates 17 – Global Incorporated, or CPA^®:17 – Global, and Corporate Property Associates 18 – Global Incorporated, or CPA^®:18 – Global. We refer to CPA^®:17 – Global and CPA^®:18 – Global together as the CPA^® REITs.

At March 31, 2017, we were also the advisor to Carey Watermark Investors Incorporated, or CWI 1, and Carey Watermark Investors 2 Incorporated, or CWI 2, two publicly owned, non-listed REITs that invest in lodging and lodging-related properties. We refer to CWI 1 and CWI 2 together as the CWI REITs and, together with the CPA^® REITs, as the Managed REITs (Note 3).

At March 31, 2017, we also served as the advisor to Carey Credit Income Fund, or CCIF, a business development company, or BDC, and feeder funds of CCIF, or the CCIF Feeder Funds, which are also BDCs (Note 3). We refer to CCIF and the CCIF Feeder Funds collectively as the Managed BDCs.

At March 31, 2017, we were also the advisor to Carey European Student Housing Fund I, L.P., or CESH I, a limited partnership formed for the purpose of developing, owning, and operating student housing properties and similar investments in Europe. We refer to the Managed REITs, Managed BDCs, and CESH I collectively as the Managed Programs.

Reportable Segments

Owned Real Estate — We own and invest in commercial properties principally in North America, Europe, Australia, and Asia that are then leased to companies, primarily on a triple-net lease basis. We also own two hotels, which are considered operating properties. We earn lease revenues from our wholly-owned and co-owned real estate investments that we control. In addition, we generate equity income through co-owned real estate investments that we do not control and through our ownership of shares and limited partnership units of the Managed Programs (Note 6). Through our special member interests in the operating partnerships of the Managed REITs, we also participate in their cash flows (Note 3). At March 31, 2017, our owned portfolio was comprised of our full or partial ownership interests in 900 properties, totaling approximately 86.6 million square feet, substantially all of which were net leased to 214 tenants, with an occupancy rate of 99.1%.

Investment Management — Through our TRSs, we structure and negotiate investments and debt placement transactions for the Managed REITs and CESH I, for which we earn structuring revenue, and manage their portfolios of real estate investments, for which we earn asset management revenue. We also earn asset management revenue from CCIF based on the average of its gross assets at fair value. We may earn disposition revenue when we negotiate and structure the sale of properties on behalf of the Managed REITs, and we may also earn incentive revenue and receive other compensation through our advisory agreements with certain of the Managed Programs, including in connection with providing liquidity events for the Managed REITs’ stockholders. At March 31, 2017, CPA^®:17 – Global and CPA^®:18 – Global collectively owned all or a portion of 445

properties, including certain properties in which we have an ownership interest. Substantially all of these properties, totaling approximately 51.6 million square feet, were net leased to 213 tenants, with an average occupancy rate of approximately 99.8%. The Managed REITs and CESH I also had interests in 161 operating properties, totaling approximately 19.8 million square feet in the aggregate.

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 fair statement of our consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or 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 statement 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, 2016, which are included in the 2016 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 and our tenancy-in-common interest as described below. 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 variable interest entity, or VIE, and, if so, whether we are the primary beneficiary and are therefore required to consolidate the entity. We apply accounting guidance for consolidation of VIEs to certain entities in which the equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. Fixed price purchase and renewal options within a lease, as well as certain decision-making rights within a loan or joint-venture agreement, can cause us to consider an entity a VIE. Limited partnerships and other similar entities that operate as a partnership will be considered a VIE unless the limited partners hold substantive kick-out rights or participation rights. Significant judgment is required to determine whether a VIE should be consolidated. We review the contractual arrangements provided for in the partnership agreement or other related contracts to determine whether the entity is considered a VIE, and to establish whether we have any variable interests in the VIE. We then compare our variable interests, if any, to those of the other variable interest holders to determine which party is the primary beneficiary of the VIE based on whether the entity (i) has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIE and (ii) has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The liabilities of these VIEs are non-recourse to us and can only be satisfied from each VIE’s respective assets.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

At March 31, 2017, we considered 29 entities VIEs, 22 of which we consolidated as we are considered the primary beneficiary. The following table presents a summary of selected financial data of the consolidated VIEs included in the consolidated balance sheets (in thousands):



	March 31, 2017		December 31, 2016
Net investments in properties	$	781,413	$	786,379
Net investments in direct financing leases	37,904		60,294
In-place lease and tenant relationship intangible assets, net	179,492		182,177
Above-market rent intangible assets, net	70,245		71,852
Total assets	1,113,291		1,150,093

Non-recourse debt, net	$	164,660	$	406,574
Total liabilities	239,591		548,659

At both March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, our seven unconsolidated VIEs included our interests in six unconsolidated real estate investments and one unconsolidated entity among our interests in the Managed Programs, all of 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. As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the net carrying amount of our investments in these entities was $151.9 million and $152.9 million, respectively, and our maximum exposure to loss in these entities was limited to our investments.

At March 31, 2017, we had an investment in a tenancy-in-common interest in various underlying international properties. Consolidation of this investment is not required as such interest does not qualify as a VIE and does not meet the control requirement for consolidation. Accordingly, we account for this investment using the equity method of accounting. We use the equity method of accounting because the shared decision-making involved in a tenancy-in-common interest investment provides us with significant influence on the operating and financial decisions of this investment.

At times, the carrying value of our equity investments may fall below zero for certain investments. We intend to fund our share of the jointly owned investments’ future operating deficits should the need arise. However, we have no legal obligation to pay for any of the liabilities of such investments nor do we have any legal obligation to fund operating deficits. At March 31, 2017, none of our equity investments had carrying values below zero.

On April 20, 2016, we formed a limited partnership, CESH I, for the purpose of developing, owning, and operating student housing properties and similar investments in Europe. CESH I commenced fundraising in July 2016 through a private placement with an initial offering of $100.0 million and a maximum offering of $150.0 million. Through August 30, 2016, the financial results and balances of CESH I were included in our consolidated financial statements, and we had collected $14.2 million of net proceeds on behalf of CESH I from limited partnership units issued in the private placement primarily to independent investors. On August 31, 2016, we determined that CESH I had sufficient equity to finance its operations and that we were no longer considered the primary beneficiary, and as a result we deconsolidated CESH I and began to account for our interest in it at fair value by electing the equity method fair value option available under U.S. GAAP. The deconsolidation did not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations. Following the deconsolidation, we continue to serve as the advisor to CESH I (Note 3).

Reclassifications

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. In connection with our adoption of Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, as described below, we retrospectively reclassified Payments for withholding taxes upon delivery of equity-based awards and exercises of stock options from Net cash provided by operating activities to Net cash used in financing activities within our consolidated statements of cash flows.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). ASU 2014-09 is a comprehensive new revenue recognition model requiring a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount reflecting the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 does not apply to our lease revenues, which constitute a majority of our revenues, but will apply to reimbursed tenant costs and revenues generated from our operating properties and our Investment Management business. We will adopt this guidance for our annual and interim periods beginning January 1, 2018 using one of two methods: retrospective restatement for each reporting period presented at the time of adoption, or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying this guidance recognized at the date of initial application. We have not decided which method of adoption we will use. We are evaluating the impact of the new standard and have not yet determined if it will have a material impact on our business or our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). ASU 2016-02 outlines a new model for accounting by lessees, whereby their rights and obligations under substantially all leases, existing and new, would be capitalized and recorded on the balance sheet. For lessors, however, the accounting remains largely unchanged from the current model, with the distinction between operating and financing leases retained, but updated to align with certain changes to the lessee model and the new revenue recognition standard. The new standard also replaces existing sale-leaseback guidance with a new model applicable to both lessees and lessors. Additionally, the new standard requires extensive quantitative and qualitative disclosures. ASU 2016-02 is effective for U.S. GAAP public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years; for all other entities, the final lease standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Early application will be permitted for all entities. The new standard must be adopted using a modified retrospective transition of the new guidance and provides for certain practical expedients. Transition will require application of the new model at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented. The ASU is expected to impact our consolidated financial statements as we have certain operating office and land lease arrangements for which we are the lessee. We are evaluating the impact of the new standard and have not yet determined if it will have a material impact on our business or our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. ASU 2016-09 amends Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Based Compensation to simplify various aspects of how share-based payments are accounted for and presented in the financial statements including (i) reflecting income tax effects of share-based payments through the income statement, (ii) allowing statutory tax withholding requirements at the employees’ maximum individual tax rate without requiring awards to be classified as liabilities, and (iii) permitting an entity to make an accounting policy election for the impact of forfeitures on the recognition of expense. ASU 2016-09 is effective for public business entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within that reporting period, with early adoption permitted.

We adopted ASU 2016-09 as of January 1, 2017 and elected to account for forfeitures as they occur, rather than to account for them based on an estimate of expected forfeitures. This election was adopted using a modified retrospective transition method, with a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings. The related financial statement impact of this adjustment is not material. Depending on several factors, such as the market price of our common stock, employee stock option exercise behavior, and corporate income tax rates, the excess tax benefits associated with the exercise of stock options and the vesting and delivery of restricted share awards, or RSAs, restricted share units, or RSUs, and performance share units, or PSUs, could generate a significant income tax benefit in a particular interim period, potentially creating volatility in Net income attributable to W. P. Carey and basic and diluted earnings per share between interim periods. Under the former accounting guidance, windfall tax benefits related to stock-based compensation were recognized within Additional paid-in capital in our consolidated financial statements. Under ASU 2016-09, these amounts are reflected as a reduction to Provision for income taxes. For reference, windfall tax benefits related to stock-based compensation recorded in Additional paid-in capital for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 were $6.7 million and $12.5 million, respectively. Windfall tax benefits related to stock-based compensation recorded as a deferred tax benefit for the three months ended March 31, 2017 were $2.2 million.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses. ASU 2016-13 introduces a new model for estimating credit losses based on current expected credit losses for certain types of financial instruments, including loans receivable, held-to-maturity debt securities, and net investments in direct financing leases, amongst other financial instruments. ASU 2016-13 also modifies the impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities and expands the disclosure requirements regarding an entity’s assumptions, models, and methods for estimating the allowance for losses. ASU 2016-13 will be effective for public business entities in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

those fiscal years, with early application of the guidance permitted. We are in the process of evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2016-13 on our consolidated financial statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. ASU 2016-15 intends to reduce diversity in practice for certain cash flow classifications, including, but not limited to (i) debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs, (ii) contingent consideration payments made after a business combination, (iii) proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims, and (iv) distributions received from equity method investees. ASU 2016-15 will be effective for public business entities in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early application of the guidance permitted. We are in the process of evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2016-15 on our consolidated financial statements, and will adopt the standard for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2018.

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-17, Consolidation (Topic 810): Interests Held through Related Parties That Are under Common Control. ASU 2016-17 changes how a reporting entity that is a decision maker should consider indirect interests in a VIE held through an entity under common control. If a decision maker must evaluate whether it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE, it will only need to consider its proportionate indirect interest in the VIE held through a common control party. ASU 2016-17 amends ASU 2015-02, which we adopted on January 1, 2016, and which currently directs the decision maker to treat the common control party’s interest in the VIE as if the decision maker held the interest itself. ASU 2016-17 is effective for public business entities in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We adopted ASU 2016-17 as of January 1, 2017 on a prospective basis. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash. ASU 2016-18 intends to reduce diversity in practice for the classification and presentation of changes in restricted cash on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-18 requires that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Therefore, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-18 will be effective for public business entities in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. We are in the process of evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2016-18 on our consolidated financial statements, and will adopt the standard for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2018.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business. ASU 2017-01 intends to clarify the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. Under the current implementation guidance in Topic 805, there are three elements of a business: inputs, processes, and outputs. While an integrated set of assets and activities, collectively referred to as a “set,” that is a business usually has outputs, outputs are not required to be present. ASU 2017-01 provides a screen to determine when a set is not a business. The screen requires that when substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired (or disposed of) is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, the set is not a business. ASU 2017-01 will be effective for public business entities in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. We elected to early adopt ASU 2017-01 on January 1, 2017 on a prospective basis. While our acquisitions have historically been classified as either business combinations or asset acquisitions, certain acquisitions that were classified as business combinations by us likely would have been considered asset acquisitions under the new standard. As a result, transaction costs are more likely to be capitalized since we expect most of our future acquisitions to be classified as asset acquisitions under this new standard. In addition, goodwill that was previously allocated to businesses that were sold or held for sale will no longer be allocated and written off upon sale if future sales were deemed to be sales of assets and not businesses.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. ASU 2017-04 removes step 2 of the goodwill impairment test, which requires a hypothetical purchase price allocation. A goodwill impairment will now be the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. All other goodwill impairment guidance will remain largely unchanged. Entities will continue to have the option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine if a quantitative impairment test is necessary. ASU 2017-04 will be effective for public business entities in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years in which a goodwill impairment test is performed, with early adoption permitted. We are in the process of evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2017-04 on our consolidated financial statements.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

In February 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-05, Other Income – Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets (Subtopic 610-20). ASU 2017-05 clarifies that a financial asset is within the scope of Subtopic 610-20 if it meets the definition of an in substance nonfinancial asset. The amendments define the term “in substance nonfinancial asset,” in part, as a financial asset promised to a counterparty in a contract if substantially all of the fair value of the assets (recognized and unrecognized) that are promised to the counterparty in the contract is concentrated in nonfinancial assets. If substantially all of the fair value of the assets that are promised to the counterparty in a contract is concentrated in nonfinancial assets, then all of the financial assets promised to the counterparty are in substance nonfinancial assets within the scope of Subtopic 610-20. This amendment also clarifies that nonfinancial assets within the scope of Subtopic 610-20 may include nonfinancial assets transferred within a legal entity to a counterparty. For example, a parent company may transfer control of nonfinancial assets by transferring ownership interests in a consolidated subsidiary. ASU 2017-05 is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early application permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2017-05 on our consolidated financial statements and have not yet determined the method by which we will adopt the standard.

Note 4. Net Investments in Properties

Real Estate

Real estate, which consists of land and buildings leased to others, at cost, and which are subject to operating leases, and real estate under construction, is summarized as follows (in thousands):



	March 31, 2017			December 31, 2016
Land	$	1,111,911		$	1,128,933
Buildings	4,078,343			4,053,334
Real estate under construction	19,583			21,859
Less: Accumulated depreciation	(508,624		)	(472,294		)
	$	4,701,213		$	4,731,832

During the three months ended March 31, 2017, the U.S. dollar weakened against the euro, as the end-of-period rate for the U.S. dollar in relation to the euro increased by 1.4% to $1.0691 from $1.0541. As a result of this fluctuation in foreign exchange rates, the carrying value of our real estate increased by $26.4 million from December 31, 2016 to March 31, 2017.

Depreciation expense, including the effect of foreign currency translation, on our real estate was $35.4 million and $34.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Real Estate Under Construction

During the three months ended March 31, 2017, we capitalized real estate under construction totaling $15.4 million, including accrual activity of $2.4 million, primarily related to construction projects on our properties. As of March 31, 2017, we had two construction projects in progress, and as of December 31, 2016, we had three construction projects in progress. Aggregate unfunded commitments totaled approximately $123.1 million and $135.2 million as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

During the three months ended March 31, 2017, we fully funded and completed an expansion project in Windsor, Connecticut at a cost totaling $3.3 million. In addition, we placed into service amounts totaling $17.8 million related to partially completed build-to-suit projects or other expansion projects during the three months ended March 31, 2017.

Dispositions of Real Estate

During the three months ended March 31, 2017, we sold a parcel of vacant land and transferred ownership of two properties to the related mortgage lender, excluding the sale of one property that was classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2016 (Note 15). As a result, the carrying value of our real estate decreased by $31.6 million from December 31, 2016 to March 31, 2017.

Future Dispositions of Real Estate

During the year ended December 31, 2016, two tenants exercised options to repurchase the properties they are leasing from us in accordance with their lease agreements during 2017 for an aggregate of $21.6 million. At March 31, 2017, the properties had an aggregate asset carrying value of $16.1 million. There was no accounting impact during 2017 or 2016 related to the exercise of these options. We currently expect that one of these repurchases will be completed in the second quarter of 2017 and the other will be completed in the third quarter of 2017, but there can be no assurance that either will be completed within those timeframes.

Operating Real Estate

At both March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, Operating real estate consisted of our investments in two hotels. Below is a summary of our Operating real estate (in thousands):

Real estate, net	$	7,048	$	—
Intangible assets, net	7,716		—
Net investments in direct financing leases	—		26,247

At March 31, 2017, we had one property classified as Assets held for sale with a carrying value of $14.8 million.

At December 31, 2016, we had one property classified as Assets held for sale with a carrying value of $26.2 million. In addition, there was a deferred tax liability of $2.5 million related to this property as of December 31, 2016, which is included in Deferred income taxes in the consolidated balance sheets. The property was sold during the three months ended March 31, 2017 (Note 15).

Note 5. Finance Receivables

Assets representing rights to receive money on demand or at fixed or determinable dates are referred to as finance receivables. Our finance receivables portfolio consists of our Net investments in direct financing leases, notes receivable, and deferred acquisition fees. Operating leases are not included in finance receivables as such amounts are not recognized as an asset in the consolidated financial statements.

Net Investments in Direct Financing Leases

Interest income from direct financing leases, which was included in Lease revenues in the consolidated financial statements, was $16.2 million and $18.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, the U.S. dollar weakened against the euro, resulting in a $4.9 million increase in the carrying value of Net investments in direct financing leases from December 31, 2016 to March 31, 2017.

Note Receivable

At March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we had a note receivable with an outstanding balance of $10.2 million and $10.4 million, respectively, representing the expected future payments under a sales type lease, which was included in Other assets, net in the consolidated financial statements. Earnings from our note receivable are included in Lease termination income and other in the consolidated financial statements.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Deferred Acquisition Fees Receivable

As described in Note 3, we earn revenue in connection with structuring and negotiating investments and related mortgage financing for the CPA^® REITs. A portion of this revenue is due in equal annual installments over three years, provided the CPA^® REITs meet their respective performance criteria. Unpaid deferred installments, including accrued interest, from the CPA^® REITs were included in Due from affiliates in the consolidated financial statements.

Credit Quality of Finance Receivables

We generally seek investments in facilities that we believe are critical to a tenant’s business and that we believe have a low risk of tenant default. As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we had allowances for credit losses of $13.5 million and $13.3 million, respectively, on a single direct financing lease, including the impact of foreign currency translation. This allowance was established in the fourth quarter of 2015. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, we increased the allowance by $7.1 million, which was recorded in Property expenses, excluding reimbursable tenant costs in the consolidated financial statements, due to a decline in the estimated amount of future payments we will receive from the tenant, including the possible early termination of the direct financing lease. At both March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, none of the balances of our finance receivables were past due. There were no modifications of finance receivables during the three months ended March 31, 2017.

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 was last updated in the first quarter of 2017. We believe the credit quality of our deferred acquisition fees receivable falls under category one, as the CPA^® REITs are expected to have the available cash to make such payments.

A summary of our finance receivables by internal credit quality rating, excluding our deferred acquisition fees receivable, is as follows (dollars in thousands):



	Number of Tenants / Obligors at		Carrying Value at
Internal Credit Quality Indicator	March 31, 2017	December 31, 2016	March 31, 2017		December 31, 2016

Note 6. Equity Investments in the Managed Programs and Real Estate

We own interests in certain unconsolidated real estate investments with the Managed Programs and also own interests in the Managed Programs. 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 U.S. GAAP.

Managed Programs

We own interests in the Managed Programs and account for these interests under the equity method because, as their advisor and through our ownership of their common stock, we do not exert control over, but we do have the ability to exercise significant influence on, the Managed Programs. Operating results of the Managed REITs and CESH I are included in the Owned Real Estate segment and operating results of CCIF are included in the Investment Management segment.

This investment represents a tenancy-in-common interest, whereby the property is encumbered by the debt for which we are jointly and severally liable. The co-obligor is CPA^®:17 – Global and the amount due under the arrangement was approximately $69.0 million at March 31, 2017. Of this amount, $10.4 million represents the amount we agreed to pay and is included within the carrying value of the investment at March 31, 2017.

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, foreign currency forward contracts, and foreign currency collars; and Level 3, for securities that do not fall into Level 1 or Level 2 and for which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring us to develop our own assumptions.

Items Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The methods and assumptions described below were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument. For significant Level 3 items, we have also provided the unobservable inputs along with their weighted-average ranges.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Money Market Funds — Our money market funds, which are included in Cash and cash equivalents in the consolidated financial statements, are comprised of government securities and U.S. Treasury bills. These funds were classified as Level 1 as we used quoted prices from active markets to determine their fair values.

Derivative Assets — Our derivative assets, which are included in Other assets, net in the consolidated financial statements, are comprised of foreign currency forward contracts, foreign currency collars, interest rate swaps, interest rate caps, and stock warrants (Note 9). The foreign currency forward contracts, foreign currency collars, interest rate swaps, and interest rate caps were measured at fair value using readily observable market inputs, such as quotations on interest rates, and 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.

Derivative Liabilities — Our derivative liabilities, which are included in Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities in the consolidated financial statements, are comprised of interest rate swaps and foreign currency collars (Note 9). These derivative instruments were measured at fair value using readily observable market inputs, such as quotations on interest rates, and were classified as Level 2 because they are custom, over-the-counter contracts with various bank counterparties that are not traded in an active market.

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest — We account for the noncontrolling interest in W. P. Carey International, LLC, or WPCI, held by a third party as a redeemable noncontrolling interest (Note 13). We determined the valuation of redeemable noncontrolling interest using widely accepted valuation techniques, including comparable transaction analysis, comparable public company analysis, and discounted cash flow analysis. We classified this liability as Level 3.

Equity Investment in CESH I — We have elected to account for our investment in CESH I at fair value by selecting the equity method fair value option available under U.S. GAAP (Note 6). The fair value of our equity investment in CESH I approximated its carrying value as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

We did not have any transfers into or out of Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 category of measurements during either the three months ended March 31, 2017 or 2016. Gains and losses (realized and unrealized) included in earnings are reported within Other income and (expenses) on our consolidated financial statements.

Our other financial instruments had the following carrying values and fair values as of the dates shown (dollars in thousands):



		March 31, 2017				December 31, 2016
	Level	Carrying Value		Fair Value		Carrying Value		Fair Value
Senior Unsecured Notes, net ^(a) ^{(b) (c)}	2	$	2,343,062	$	2,401,798	$	1,807,200	$	1,828,829
Non-recourse debt, net ^{(a) (b) (d)}	3	1,386,542		1,399,650		1,706,921		1,711,364
Note receivable ^(d)	3	10,152		9,856		10,351		10,046

__________


(a)	The carrying value of Senior Unsecured Notes, net includes unamortized deferred financing costs of $15.6 million and $12.1 million at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. The carrying value of Non-recourse debt, net includes unamortized deferred financing costs of $1.4 million and $1.3 million at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.


(b)	The carrying value of Senior Unsecured Notes, net includes unamortized discount of $10.4 million and $7.8 million at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. The carrying value of Non-recourse debt, net includes unamortized discount of $0.4 million and $0.2 million at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.


(c)	We determined the estimated fair value of the Senior Unsecured Notes (Note 10) using quoted market prices in an open market with limited trading volume where available. In cases where there was no trading volume, we determined the estimated fair value using a discounted cash flow model using a rate that reflects the average yield of similar market participants.

(d)

We determined the estimated fair value of these financial instruments 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 take into account 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.



	W. P. Carey 3/31/2017 10-Q – 27

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

We estimated that our other financial assets and liabilities (excluding net investments in direct financing leases) had fair values that approximated their carrying values at both March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

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. For investments in real estate held for use for which an impairment indicator is identified, we follow a two-step process to determine whether the investment is impaired and to determine the amount of the charge. First, we compare the carrying value of the property’s asset group to the future undiscounted net cash flows that we expect the property’s asset group will generate, including any estimated proceeds from the eventual sale of the property’s asset group. If this amount is less than the carrying value, the property’s asset group is considered to be not recoverable. We then measure the impairment charge as the excess of the carrying value of the property’s asset group over the estimated fair value of the property’s asset group, which is primarily determined using market information such as recent comparable sales, broker quotes, or third-party appraisals. If relevant market information is not available or is not deemed appropriate, we perform a future net cash flow analysis, discounted for inherent risk associated with each investment. We determined that the significant inputs used to value these investments fall within Level 3 for fair value reporting. As a result of our assessments, we calculated impairment charges based on market conditions and assumptions that existed at the time. The valuation of real estate is subject to significant judgment and actual results may differ materially if market conditions or the underlying assumptions change.

We did not recognize any impairment charges during the three months ended March 31, 2017 or 2016.

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 and Senior Unsecured Notes (Note 10). 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, as well as changes in the value of our 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, Australia, and Asia and are subject to risks associated with fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates.

Derivative Financial Instruments

When we use derivative instruments, it is generally to reduce our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rate movements. We have not entered into, and do not plan to enter into, financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. In addition to entering into derivative instruments on our own behalf, we may also be a party to derivative instruments that are embedded in other contracts, and we may be granted common stock warrants by lessees when structuring lease transactions, which are considered to be derivative instruments. The primary risks related to our use of derivative instruments include a counterparty to a hedging arrangement defaulting on its obligation and a downgrade in the credit quality of a counterparty to such an extent that our ability to sell or assign our side of the hedging transaction is impaired. While we seek to mitigate these risks by entering into hedging arrangements with large financial institutions that we deem to be creditworthy, it is possible that our hedging transactions, which are intended to limit losses, could adversely affect our earnings. Furthermore, if we terminate a hedging arrangement, we may be obligated to pay certain costs, such as transaction or breakage fees. We have established policies and procedures for risk assessment and the approval, reporting, and monitoring of derivative financial instrument activities.

We measure derivative instruments at fair value and record them as assets or liabilities, depending on our rights or obligations under the applicable derivative contract. Derivatives that are not designated as hedges must be adjusted to fair value through earnings. For a derivative designated, and that qualified, as a cash flow hedge, the effective portion of the change in fair value of the derivative is recognized in Other comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. For a derivative designated, and that qualified, as a net investment hedge, the effective portion of the change in the fair value and/or the net settlement of the derivative is reported in Other comprehensive income as part of the cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of any derivative is immediately recognized in earnings.

(a)	These interest rate swaps do not qualify for hedge accounting; however, they do protect against fluctuations in interest rates related to the underlying variable-rate debt.

All derivative transactions with an individual counterparty are governed by a master International Swap and Derivatives Association agreement, which can be considered as a master netting arrangement; however, we report all our derivative instruments on a gross basis on our consolidated financial statements. At both March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, 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 attempt to obtain mortgage financing on a long-term, fixed-rate basis. However, from time to time, we or our investment partners may 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.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

The interest rate swaps and caps that our consolidated subsidiaries had outstanding at March 31, 2017 are summarized as follows (currency in thousands):

				$	(2,030	)

__________


(a)	Fair value amounts are based on the exchange rate of the euro at March 31, 2017, as applicable.


(b)	This interest rate swap does not qualify for hedge accounting; however, it does protect against fluctuations in interest rates related to the underlying variable-rate debt.

Foreign Currency Contracts and Collars

We are exposed to foreign currency exchange rate movements, primarily in the euro and, to a lesser extent, the British pound sterling, the Australian dollar, and certain other currencies. We manage foreign currency exchange rate movements by generally placing our debt service obligation on an investment in the same currency as the tenant’s rental obligation to us. This reduces our overall exposure to the net cash flow from that investment. However, we are subject to foreign currency exchange rate movements to the extent that there is a difference in the timing and amount of the rental obligation and the debt service. Realized and unrealized gains and losses recognized in earnings related to foreign currency transactions are included in Other income and (expenses) in the consolidated financial statements.

In order to hedge certain of our foreign currency cash flow exposures, we enter into foreign currency forward contracts and collars. A foreign currency forward contract is a commitment to deliver a certain amount of currency at a certain price on a specific date in the future. 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. By entering into forward contracts and holding them to maturity, we are locked into a future currency exchange rate for the term of the contract. 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 forward contracts and foreign currency collars have maturities of 77 months or less.

The following table presents the foreign currency derivative contracts we had outstanding at March 31, 2017, which were designated as cash flow hedges (currency in thousands):



	Number of Instruments	Notional Amount		Fair Value at March 31, 2017

Credit Risk-Related Contingent Features

We measure our credit exposure on a counterparty basis as the net positive aggregate estimated fair value of our derivatives, net of any collateral received. No collateral was received as of March 31, 2017. At March 31, 2017, our total credit exposure and the maximum exposure to any single counterparty was $45.1 million and $23.3 million, respectively.

Some of the agreements we have with our derivative counterparties contain cross-default provisions that could trigger a declaration of default on our derivative obligations if we default, or are capable of being declared in default, on certain of our indebtedness. At March 31, 2017, 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 $2.5 million and $3.3 million at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, which included accrued interest and any nonperformance risk adjustments. If we had breached any of these provisions at March 31, 2017 or December 31, 2016, we could have been required to settle our obligations under these agreements at their aggregate termination value of $2.8 million and $3.3 million, respectively.

Net Investment Hedges

At March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the amounts borrowed in euro outstanding under our Revolver (Note 10) were €84.0 million and €272.0 million, respectively. In addition, at March 31, 2017, the amount borrowed in euro outstanding under our Amended Term Loan Facility (Note 10) that was designated as a net investment hedge was €80.0 million. Additionally, we have issued two sets of euro-denominated senior notes, each with a principal amount of €500.0 million, which we refer to as the 2.0% Senior Notes and 2.25% Senior Notes (Note 10). These borrowings are designated as, and are effective as, economic hedges of our net investments in foreign entities. Variability in the exchange rates of the foreign currencies with respect to the U.S. dollar impacts our financial results as the financial results of our foreign subsidiaries are translated to U.S. dollars each period, with the effect of changes in the foreign currencies to U.S. dollar exchange rates being recorded in Other comprehensive income as part of the cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment. As a result, the borrowings in euro under our Revolver, Amended Term Loan Facility (for the amount designated as a net investment hedge), 2.0% Senior Notes, and 2.25% Senior Notes are recorded at cost in the consolidated financial statements and all changes in the value related to changes in the spot rates will be reported in the same manner as a translation adjustment, which is recorded in Other comprehensive income as part of the cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment.

At March 31, 2017, we also had foreign currency forward contracts that were designated as net investment hedges, as discussed in “Derivative Financial Instruments” above.

Note 10. Debt

Senior Unsecured Credit Facility

As of December 31, 2016, we had a senior credit facility that provided for a $1.5 billion unsecured revolving credit facility, or our Revolver, and a $250.0 million term loan facility, or our Prior Term Loan Facility, which we refer to collectively as the Senior Unsecured Credit Facility. At December 31, 2016, the Senior Unsecured Credit Facility also permitted (i) up to $750.0 million under our Revolver to be borrowed in certain currencies other than the U.S. dollar, (ii) swing line loans up to $50.0 million under our Revolver, and (iii) the issuance of letters of credit under our Revolver in an aggregate amount not to exceed $50.0 million. On January 26, 2017, we exercised our option to extend our Prior Term Loan Facility by an additional year to January 31, 2018.

On February 22, 2017, we amended and restated our Senior Unsecured Credit Facility to increase its capacity to approximately $1.85 billion, which is comprised of $1.5 billion under our Revolver, a €236.3 million term loan, or our Amended Term Loan Facility, and a $100.0 million delayed draw term loan, or our Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility. We refer to our Prior Term Loan Facility, Amended Term Loan Facility, and Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility collectively as the Term Loan Facilities or the Term Loans. The Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility may be drawn within one year and allows for borrowings in U.S. dollars, euros, or British pounds sterling. On February 22, 2017, we drew down in full our €236.3 million Amended Term Loan Facility and repaid in full, and terminated, our $250.0 million Prior Term Loan Facility.

The maturity date of the Revolver is February 22, 2021. We have two options to extend the maturity date of the Revolver by six months, subject to the conditions provided in the Third Amended and Restated Credit Facility dated February 22, 2017, as amended, or the Credit Agreement. The maturity date of both the Amended Term Loan Facility and Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility (if drawn upon) is February 22, 2022. The Senior Unsecured Credit Facility is being used for working capital needs, for acquisitions, and for other general corporate purposes.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

The Credit Agreement also permits (i) a sub-limit for up to $1.0 billion under the Revolver to be borrowed in certain currencies other than U.S. dollars, (ii) a sub-limit for swing line loans of up to $75.0 million under the Revolver, and (iii) a sub-limit for the issuance of letters of credit under the Revolver in an aggregate amount not to exceed $50.0 million. The aggregate principal amount (of revolving and term loans) available under the Credit Agreement may be increased up to an amount not to exceed the U.S. dollar equivalent of $2.35 billion, and may be allocated as an increase to the Revolver, the Amended Term Loan Facility, or the Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility, or if the Amended Term Loan Facility has been terminated, an add-on term loan, in each case subject to the conditions to increase provided in the Credit Agreement. In connection with the amendment and restatement of our Senior Unsecured Credit Facility, we capitalized deferred financing costs totaling $8.5 million, which is being amortized to Interest expense over the remaining terms of the Revolver and Amended Term Loan Facility.

At March 31, 2017, our Revolver had unused capacity of $1.3 billion, excluding amounts reserved for outstanding letters of credit. As of March 31, 2017, our lenders had issued letters of credit totaling $0.6 million on our behalf in connection with certain contractual obligations, which reduce amounts that may be drawn under our Revolver by the same amount. We also incur a facility fee of 0.20% of the total commitment on our Revolver and a fee of 0.20% on the unused commitments under our Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility prior to the draw or termination of such commitments.

Senior Unsecured Notes

As set forth in the table below, we have senior unsecured notes outstanding with an aggregate principal balance outstanding of $2.4 billion at March 31, 2017. We refer to these notes collectively as the Senior Unsecured Notes.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Interest on the Senior Unsecured Notes is payable annually in arrears for our euro-denominated notes and semi-annually for U.S. dollar-denominated 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 30 to 35 basis points.

(a)	Aggregate balance excludes unamortized deferred financing costs totaling $15.6 million and $12.1 million, and unamortized discount totaling $10.4 million and $7.8 million, at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

Proceeds from the issuances of each of these notes were used primarily to partially pay down the amounts then outstanding under our Revolver. In connection with the offering of the 2.25% Senior Notes in January 2017, we incurred financing costs totaling $4.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2017, which are included in Senior unsecured notes, net in the consolidated financial statements and are being amortized to Interest expense over the term of the 2.25% Senior Notes.

Covenants

The Senior Unsecured Credit Facility, as amended, and each of the Senior Unsecured Notes include customary financial maintenance covenants that require us to maintain certain ratios and benchmarks at the end of each quarter. The Senior Unsecured Credit Facility also contains various customary affirmative and negative covenants applicable to us and our subsidiaries, subject to materiality and other qualifications, baskets, and exceptions as outlined in the Credit Agreement. We were in compliance with all of these covenants at March 31, 2017.

We may make unlimited Restricted Payments (as defined in the Credit Agreement), as long as no non-payment default or financial covenant default has occurred before, or would on a pro forma basis occur as a result of, the Restricted Payment. In addition, we may make Restricted Payments in an amount required to (i) maintain our REIT status and (ii) as a result of that status, not pay federal or state income or excise tax, as long as the loans under the Credit Agreement have not been accelerated and no bankruptcy or event of default has occurred.

Obligations under the Senior Unsecured Credit Facility may be declared immediately due and payable upon the occurrence of certain events of default as defined in the Credit Agreement, including failure to pay any principal when due and payable, failure to pay interest within five business days after becoming due, failure to comply with any covenant, representation or condition of any loan document, any change of control, cross-defaults, and certain other events as set forth in the Credit Agreement, with grace periods in some cases.

Non-Recourse Debt

At March 31, 2017, our mortgage notes payable bore interest at fixed annual rates ranging from 2.0% to 7.8% and variable contractual annual rates ranging from 0.9% to 6.9%, with maturity dates ranging from May 2017 to June 2027.

In January 2017, we repaid two international non-recourse mortgage loans at maturity with an aggregate principal balance of approximately $243.8 million encumbering a German investment, comprised of certain properties leased to Hellweg Die Profi-Baumärkte GmbH & Co. KG, or the Hellweg 2 Portfolio, which is jointly owned with our affiliate, CPA^®:17 – Global. In connection with this repayment, CPA^®:17 – Global contributed $80.5 million, which was accounted for as a contribution from a noncontrolling interest. Amounts are based on the exchange rate of the euro as of the date of repayment. The weighted-average interest rate for these mortgage loans on the date of repayment was 5.4%.



	W. P. Carey 3/31/2017 10-Q – 34

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

During the three months ended March 31, 2017, we prepaid non-recourse mortgage loans totaling $42.4 million, including a mortgage loan of $18.5 million encumbering a property that was sold in January 2017 (Note 15). Amounts are based on the exchange rate of the euro as of the date of repayment, as applicable. The weighted-average interest rate for these mortgage loans on their respective dates of prepayment was 4.6%. In connection with these payments, we recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of less than $0.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2017, which was included in Other income and (expenses) in the consolidated financial statements.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Impact

During the three months ended March 31, 2017, the U.S. dollar weakened against the euro, resulting in an aggregate increase of $22.7 million in the aggregate carrying values of our Non-recourse debt, net, Senior Unsecured Credit Facility, and Senior unsecured notes, net from December 31, 2016 to March 31, 2017.

Scheduled Debt Principal Payments

Scheduled debt principal payments during the remainder of 2017, each of the next four calendar years following December 31, 2017, and thereafter through 2027 are as follows (in thousands):

Note 11. Commitments and Contingencies

At March 31, 2017, 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. Restructuring and Other Compensation

In connection with the resignation of our then-chief executive officer, Trevor P. Bond, we and Mr. Bond entered into a letter agreement, dated February 10, 2016. Under the terms of the agreement, subject to certain conditions, Mr. Bond is entitled to receive the severance benefits provided for in his employment agreement and, subject to satisfaction of applicable performance conditions and proration, vesting of his outstanding unvested PSUs in accordance with their terms. In addition, the portion of his previously granted RSUs that were scheduled to vest on February 15, 2016, which would have been forfeited upon separation pursuant to their terms, were allowed to vest on that date. In connection with the separation agreement, we recorded $5.1 million of severance-related expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2016, which are included in Restructuring and other compensation in the consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, we entered into an agreement with Catherine D. Rice, our former chief financial officer, in connection with the termination of her employment, which provides for the continued vesting of her outstanding RSUs and PSUs pursuant to their terms as though her employment had continued through their respective vesting dates. In connection with the modification



	W. P. Carey 3/31/2017 10-Q – 35

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

of these award terms, we recorded incremental stock-based compensation expense of $2.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2016, which is included in Restructuring and other compensation in the consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, as part of a cost savings initiative, we undertook a reduction in force, or RIF, and realigned and consolidated certain positions within the company, resulting in employee headcount reductions. As a result of these reductions in headcount and the separations described above, during the three months ended March 31, 2016, we recorded $7.8 million of severance and benefits, $3.2 million of stock-based compensation, and $0.5 million of other related costs, which are all included in Restructuring and other compensation in the consolidated financial statements.

As of March 31, 2017, the accrued liability for these severance obligations was $2.6 million and is included within Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities in the consolidated financial statements.

Note 13. Stock-Based Compensation and Equity

Stock-Based Compensation

We maintain several stock-based compensation plans, which are more fully described in the 2016 Annual Report. There have been no significant changes to the terms and conditions of any of our stock-based compensation plans or arrangements during the three months ended March 31, 2017. During the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, we recorded stock-based compensation expense of $6.9 million and $9.8 million, respectively, of which $3.2 million was included in Restructuring and other compensation for the three months ended March 31, 2016 (Note 12).

Restricted and Conditional Awards

Nonvested RSAs, RSUs, and PSUs at March 31, 2017 and changes during the three months ended March 31, 2017 were as follows:



	RSA and RSU Awards				PSU Awards
	Shares		Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value		Shares		Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value
Nonvested at January 1, 2017	356,865		$	61.63	310,018		$	73.80
Granted ^(a)	176,651		61.66		107,934		75.39

Nonvested at March 31, 2017 ^(d)	379,974		$	61.53	292,105		$	76.43

__________

(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 three months ended March 31, 2017, we used a risk-free interest rate of 1.5%, an expected volatility rate of 17.1%, and assumed a dividend yield of zero.

(b)

The total fair value of shares vested during the three months ended March 31, 2017 was $19.2 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 March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we had an obligation to issue 1,152,606 and 1,217,274 shares, respectively, of our common stock underlying such deferred awards, which is recorded within W. P. Carey stockholders’ equity as a Deferred compensation obligation of $47.3 million and $50.2 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 to reflect the number of shares expected to be issued when the PSUs vest.


(d)	At March 31, 2017, total unrecognized compensation expense related to these awards was approximately $32.4 million, with an aggregate weighted-average remaining term of 2.3 years.



	W. P. Carey 3/31/2017 10-Q – 36

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

During the three months ended March 31, 2017, 109,802 stock options were exercised with an aggregate intrinsic value of $3.2 million. At March 31, 2017, there were 35,231 stock options outstanding, all of which were exercisable.

Earnings Per Share

Under current authoritative guidance for determining earnings per share, all nonvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to distributions are considered to be participating securities and therefore are included in the computation of earnings per share under the two-class method. The two-class method is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for each class of common shares and participating security according to dividends declared (or accumulated) and participation rights in undistributed earnings. Our nonvested RSUs and RSAs contain rights to receive non-forfeitable distribution equivalents or distributions, respectively, and therefore we apply the two-class method of computing earnings per share. The calculation of earnings per share below excludes the income attributable to the nonvested RSUs and RSAs from the numerator and such nonvested shares in the denominator. The following table summarizes basic and diluted earnings (in thousands, except share amounts):



	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2017			2016
Net income attributable to W. P. Carey	$	57,484		$	57,439
Net income attributable to nonvested RSUs and RSAs	(202		)	(189		)
Net income – basic and diluted	$	57,282		$	57,250

Weighted-average shares outstanding – basic	107,562,484			105,939,161
Effect of dilutive securities	201,795			466,292
Weighted-average shares outstanding – diluted	107,764,279			106,405,453

For the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, there were no potentially dilutive securities excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share.

At-The-Market Equity Offering Program

On March 1, 2017, we filed a prospectus supplement with the SEC pursuant to which we may offer and sell shares of our common stock, up to an aggregate gross sales price of $400.0 million, through an “at-the-market,” or ATM, offering program with a consortium of banks as sales agents. On that date, we also terminated a prior ATM program that was established on June 3, 2015, under which we could also offer and sell shares of our common stock, up to an aggregate gross sales price of $400.0 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, we did not issue any shares of our common stock under either our current or prior ATM program. As of March 31, 2017, $400.0 million remained available for issuance under our current ATM program.

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest

We account for the noncontrolling interest in WPCI held by a third party as a redeemable noncontrolling interest, because, pursuant to a put option held by the third party, we had an obligation to redeem the interest at fair value, subject to certain conditions. This obligation was required to be settled in shares of our common stock. On October 1, 2013, we received a notice from the holder of the noncontrolling interest in WPCI regarding the exercise of the put option, pursuant to which we were required to purchase the third party’s 7.7% interest in WPCI. Pursuant to the terms of the related put agreement, the value of that interest was determined based on a third-party valuation as of October 31, 2013, which is the end of the month that the put option was exercised. In March 2016, we issued 217,011 shares of our common stock to the holder of the redeemable noncontrolling interest, which had a value of $13.4 million at the date of issuance pursuant to a formula set forth in the put agreement. Through the date of this Report, the third party has not formally transferred his interests in WPCI to us pursuant to the put agreement because of a dispute regarding any amounts that may still be owed to him.

Note 14. 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 and intend to do so for the tax year ending December 31, 2017. Accordingly, we have not included any provisions for federal income taxes related to the REIT in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016.

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 months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016. Current income tax expense was $4.2 million and $3.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Our TRSs and foreign subsidiaries are subject to U.S. federal, state, and foreign income taxes. As such, deferred tax assets and liabilities are established for temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of assets and liabilities at the enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences reverse. A valuation allowance for deferred tax assets is provided if we believe that it is more likely than not that we will not realize the tax benefit of deferred tax assets based on available evidence at the time the determination is made. A change in circumstances may cause us to change our judgment about whether the tax benefit of a deferred tax asset will more likely than not be realized. We generally report any change in the valuation allowance through our income statement in the period in which such changes in circumstances occur. Deferred tax assets (net of valuation allowance) and liabilities for our TRSs and foreign subsidiaries were recorded, as necessary, as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016. The majority of our deferred tax assets relate to the timing difference between the financial reporting basis and tax basis for stock based compensation expense. The majority of our deferred tax liabilities relate to differences between the tax basis and financial reporting basis of the assets acquired in acquisitions treated as business combinations under GAAP and in which the tax basis of such assets was not stepped up to fair value for income tax purposes. Benefit from (provision for) income taxes included deferred income tax benefits of $5.6 million and $3.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Note 15. Property Dispositions

From time to time, we may decide to sell a property. 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 make a decision 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 Owned Real Estate segment.

The results of operations for properties that have been sold or classified as held for sale are included in the consolidated financial statements and are summarized as follows (in thousands):



	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2017			2016
Revenues	$	851		$	63,976
Expenses	(509		)	(32,871		)

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)


(a)	Amounts included net income attributable to noncontrolling interests of $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016. We did not recognize net income attributable to noncontrolling interests for properties that have been sold or classified as held for sale during the three months ended March 31, 2017.

2017 — During the three months ended March 31, 2017, we sold one property and a parcel of vacant land for total proceeds of $24.2 million, net of selling costs, and recognized a net gain on these sales of less than $0.1 million. The property was held for sale at December 31, 2016 (Note 4). In addition, in January 2017, we transferred ownership of two international properties and the related non-recourse mortgage loan, which had an aggregate asset carrying value of $31.3 million and an outstanding balance of $28.1 million (net of $3.8 million of cash held in escrow that was retained by the mortgage lender), respectively, on the dates of transfer, to the mortgage lender, resulting in a net loss of less than $0.1 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, we entered into a contract to sell an international property, which was classified as held for sale as of March 31, 2017 (Note 4).

2016 — During the three months ended March 31, 2016, we sold four properties and a parcel of vacant land for total proceeds of $103.7 million, net of selling costs, and recognized a net gain on these sales of $0.7 million, inclusive of amounts attributable to noncontrolling interests of $0.9 million.

In connection with those sales that constituted businesses, during the three months ended March 31, 2016 we allocated goodwill totaling $5.9 million to the cost basis of the properties for our Owned Real Estate segment based on the relative fair value at the time of the sale.

In the fourth quarter of 2015, we executed a lease amendment with a tenant in a domestic office building. The amendment extended the lease term an additional 15 years to January 31, 2037 and provided a one-time rent payment of $25.0 million, which was paid to us on December 18, 2015. The lease amendment also provided an option to terminate the lease effective February 29, 2016, with additional lease termination fees of $22.2 million to be paid to us on or five days before February 29, 2016 upon exercise of the option. The tenant exercised the option on January 1, 2016. The aggregate of the additional rent payment of $25.0 million and the lease termination fees of $22.2 million were amortized to lease termination income from the lease amendment date on December 4, 2015 through the end of the non-cancelable lease term on February 29, 2016, resulting in $15.0 million recognized during the year ended December 31, 2015 and $32.2 million recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2016 within Lease termination income and other in the consolidated financial statements. In addition, during the fourth quarter of 2015, we entered into an agreement to sell the property to a third party and the buyer placed a deposit of $12.7 million for the purchase of the property that was held in escrow. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, we sold the property for proceeds of $44.4 million, net of selling costs, and recognized a loss on the sale of $10.7 million.

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 provide the reader with information that will assist in understanding our financial statements and the reasons for changes in certain key components of our financial statements from period to period. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations also provides the reader with our perspective on our financial position and liquidity, as well as certain other factors that may affect our future results. The discussion also provides information about the financial results of the segments of our business 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 2016 Annual Report and subsequent reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Business Overview

As described in more detail in Item 1 of the 2016 Annual Report, we provide long-term financing via sale-leaseback and build-to-suit transactions for companies worldwide and, as of March 31, 2017, manage a global investment portfolio of 1,370 properties, including 900 net-leased properties and two operating properties within our owned real estate portfolio. Our business operates in two segments: Owned Real Estate and Investment Management.

Financial Highlights

During the three months ended March 31, 2017, we completed the following activities, as further described below and in the consolidated financial statements:


•	On January 19, 2017, we completed a public offering of €500.0 million of 2.25% Senior Notes, at a price of 99.448% of par value, issued by our wholly owned subsidiary, WPC Eurobond B.V., which are guaranteed by us. These 2.25% Senior Notes have a 7.5-year term and are scheduled to mature on July 19, 2024 (Note 10).

•

On February 22, 2017, we amended and restated our Senior Unsecured Credit Facility to increase its capacity to $1.85 billion, which is comprised of a $1.5 billion Revolver maturing in four years with two six-month extension options, a €236.3 million Amended Term Loan Facility maturing in five years, and a $100.0 million Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility also maturing in five years. The Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility may be drawn within one year and allows for borrowings in U.S. dollars, euros, or British pounds sterling. On that date, we also drew down in full our €236.3 million Amended Term Loan Facility and repaid in full, and terminated, our $250.0 million Prior Term Loan Facility (Note 10).


•	We reduced our mortgage debt outstanding by repaying at maturity or prepaying $286.1 million of non-recourse mortgage loans with a weighted-average interest rate of 5.3% (Note 10).


•	We structured new investments on behalf of the Managed Programs totaling $111.0 million, increasing our assets under management to $13.0 billion as of March 31, 2017.


•	We declared cash distributions totaling $0.9950 per share in the aggregate amount of $106.0 million.

Consolidated Results

Revenues and Net Income Attributable to W. P. Carey

Total revenues decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016, due to lower revenues within both our Owned Real Estate and Investment Management segments. Owned Real Estate revenue declined substantially due to lease termination income recognized during the prior year period related to a domestic property sold during that period, as well as lower lease revenues due to dispositions of properties since January 1, 2016 (Note 15), partially offset by lease revenues from properties acquired during 2016. Investment Management revenue declined primarily as a result of a decrease in structuring revenue due to lower investment volume for the Managed Programs during the current year period, partially offset by an increase in asset management revenue, primarily as a result of growth in assets under management for the Managed Programs.



	W. P. Carey 3/31/2017 10-Q – 45

Net income attributable to W. P. Carey increased slightly for the three months ended March 31, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016, driven by an improvement in net income from our Investment Management segment, partially offset by a decrease in net income from our Owned Real Estate segment. Within both segments, general and administrative expenses were lower in the current year period compared to the prior year period, primarily as a result of implementing cost savings initiatives, including the RIF, for which we recognized one-time restructuring and other compensation expense during the prior year period. In addition, during the prior year period, we incurred advisory expenses and professional fees within both segments in connection with our formal strategic review, which concluded in May 2016. Additionally, within our Investment Management segment, structuring revenue decreased, while asset management revenue increased. Net income from our Owned Real Estate segment decreased due to lower lease termination income and lease revenues, as described above, partially offset by lower depreciation and amortization expense, an allowance for credit losses recognized during the prior year period, and lower interest expense due to a lower weighted-average interest rate and lower average outstanding balance on our debt during the current year period.

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016, primarily due to lease termination income received in connection with the sale of a property during the three months ended March 31, 2016, a decrease in structuring revenue received in cash from the Managed Programs as a result of their lower investment volume during the current year period, and a decrease in cash flow as a result of property dispositions during 2016 and 2017. These decreases were partially offset by a decrease in interest expense, the lower general and administrative expenses in the current year period, as discussed above, and an increase in cash flow generated from properties acquired during 2016.

AFFO

AFFO decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016, primarily due to lower structuring revenue, lower lease revenues, and the lease termination income received in connection with the sale of a property during the prior year period, as described above, partially offset by lower interest expense, lower general and administrative expenses, and higher asset management revenue.

Owned Real Estate

Acquisitions

During the three months ended March 31, 2017, we fully funded and completed an expansion project at a cost totaling $3.3 million (Note 4).

Dispositions

During the three months ended March 31, 2017, we sold one property and a parcel of vacant land from our Owned Real Estate portfolio for total proceeds of $24.2 million, net of selling costs, and recorded a net gain on sale of real estate of less than $0.1 million. We also disposed of two properties with an aggregate carrying value of $31.3 million by transferring ownership to the mortgage lender, in satisfaction of mortgage loans encumbering the properties totaling $28.1 million (net of $3.8 million of cash held in escrow that was retained by the mortgage lender), resulting in a net gain of less than $0.1 million (Note 15).

Financing Transactions

During the three months ended March 31, 2017, we entered into the following financing transactions (Note 10):


•	On January 19, 2017, we completed a public offering of €500.0 million of 2.25% Senior Notes, at a price of 99.448% of par value, issued by our wholly owned subsidiary, WPC Eurobond B.V., which are guaranteed by us. These 2.25% Senior Notes have a 7.5-year term and are scheduled to mature on July 19, 2024.



	W. P. Carey 3/31/2017 10-Q – 46

•

In January 2017, we repaid two international non-recourse mortgage loans at maturity with an aggregate principal balance of approximately $243.8 million encumbering the Hellweg 2 Portfolio, which is jointly owned with our affiliate, CPA^®:17 – Global. In connection with this repayment, CPA^®:17 – Global contributed $80.5 million, which was accounted for as a contribution from a noncontrolling interest. Amounts are based on the exchange rate of the euro as of the date of repayment. The weighted-average interest rate for these mortgage loans on the date of repayment was 5.4%.

•

Composition

As of March 31, 2017, our Owned Real Estate portfolio consisted of 900 net-lease properties, comprising 86.6 million square feet leased to 214 tenants, and two hotels, which are classified as operating properties. As of that date, the weighted-average lease term of the net-lease portfolio was 9.6 years and the occupancy rate was 99.1%.

Investment Management

During the three months ended March 31, 2017, we managed CPA^®:17 – Global, CPA^®:18 – Global, CWI 1, CWI 2, CCIF, and CESH I. As of March 31, 2017, these Managed Programs had total assets under management of approximately $13.0 billion.

Investment Transactions

During the three months ended March 31, 2017, we structured new investments totaling $111.0 million on behalf of the Managed REITs and CESH I, from which we earned $3.8 million in structuring revenue.


•	CPA^®:18 – Global: We structured investments in two properties and two build-to-suit expansions on existing properties for an aggregate of $56.2 million, inclusive of acquisition-related costs. Approximately $48.9 million was invested internationally and $7.3 million was invested in the United States.


•	CESH I: We structured investments in two international student housing development projects for $43.3 million, inclusive of acquisition-related costs.


•	CPA^®:17 – Global: We structured an investment in one domestic property for $11.5 million, inclusive of acquisition-related costs.

Financing Transactions

During the three months ended March 31, 2017, we arranged financing totaling $143.0 million for CWI 2, $105.0 million for CPA^®:17 – Global, $32.4 million for CPA^®:18 – Global, and $15.5 million for CWI 1.



	W. P. Carey 3/31/2017 10-Q – 47

Regulatory Changes

On April 6, 2016, the Department of Labor, or DOL, issued its final regulation addressing when a person providing investment advice with respect to an employee benefit plan or individual retirement account is considered to be a fiduciary under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, or ERISA, and the Internal Revenue Code. This Fiduciary Rule significantly expands the class of advisers and the scope of investment advice that are subject to fiduciary standards, imposing the same fiduciary standards on advisers to individual retirement accounts that have historically only applied to plans covered under ERISA. The Fiduciary Rule also contains certain exemptions that allow investment advisers to receive compensation for providing investment advice under arrangements that would otherwise be prohibited due to conflicts of interest, such as the Best Interest Contract Exemption and the Principal Transaction Exemption. The Fiduciary Rule was scheduled to take effect on April 10, 2017. However, a memorandum issued by the new presidential administration on February 3, 2017 caused the DOL to seek a delay of the implementation date from the Office of Management and Budget, and on April 4, 2017, the DOL announced a 60-day delay of the applicability date to June 9, 2017. We will continue to monitor how the regulation may be implemented.

Investor Capital Inflows

The investor capital inflows for the funds managed by us during the three months ended March 31, 2017 were as follows:

•

CWI 2 commenced its initial public offering in the first quarter of 2015 and began to admit new stockholders on May 15, 2015. Through March 31, 2017, CWI 2 had raised approximately $821.9 million through its offering, of which $205.6 million was raised during the three months ended March 31, 2017. We earned $2.5 million in Dealer manager fees during the three months ended March 31, 2017 related to this offering. In March 2017, CWI 2 announced that its board of directors had determined to extend its offering through December 31, 2017. On March 31, 2017, CWI 2 suspended its offering in order to determine updated NAVs for its shares as of December 31, 2016 and, as a result, new offering prices for the extended offering. CWI 2 filed a registration statement with the SEC on April 14, 2017, and the registration statement was declared effective on April 27, 2017. Fundraising in connection with the extended offering commenced in May 2017.

•

Two CCIF Feeder Funds commenced their respective initial public offerings in the third quarter of 2015 and invest the proceeds that they raise in the master fund, CCIF. Through March 31, 2017, these funds have invested $182.9 million in CCIF, of which $57.8 million was invested during the three months ended March 31, 2017. We earned $0.8 million in Dealer manager fees during the three months ended March 31, 2017 related to this offering. One of the CCIF Feeder Funds, CCIF 2016 T, closed its offering on April 28, 2017.


•	CESH I commenced its private placement in July 2016. We earned less than $0.1 million in Dealer manager fees during the three months ended March 31, 2017 related to this offering.

Terms and Definitions

Pro Rata Metrics —The portfolio information above contains certain metrics prepared under the pro rata consolidation method. 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%. Under the full consolidation method, 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. Under the pro rata consolidation method, we present our proportionate share, based on our economic ownership of these jointly owned investments, of the portfolio metrics of those investments.

ABR — ABR represents contractual minimum annualized base rent for our net-leased properties and reflects exchange rates as of the date of this Report. 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: Owned 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 Owned Real Estate segment, as well as assets owned by the Managed Programs, which are managed by our Investment Management segment. We focus our efforts on improving underperforming assets through re-leasing efforts, including negotiation of lease renewals, or selectively selling assets in order to increase value in our real estate portfolio. The ability to increase assets under management by structuring investments on behalf of the Managed Programs is affected, among other things, by our ability to raise capital on behalf of the Managed Programs and our ability to identify and enter into appropriate investments and related financing on their behalf.

Lease Composition and Leasing Activities

As of March 31, 2017, 94.7% of our net leases, based on ABR, have rent increases, of which 67.9% have adjustments based on CPI or similar indices and 26.8% have fixed rent increases. CPI and similar rent adjustments are based on formulas indexed to changes in the CPI, or other similar indices for the jurisdiction in which the property is located, some of which have caps and/or floors. Over the next 12 months, fixed rent escalations are scheduled to increase ABR by an average of 1.9%, excluding leases that are set to expire within the next 12 months. We own international investments and, therefore, lease revenues from these investments are subject to exchange rate fluctuations in various foreign currencies, primarily the euro.

The following discussion presents a summary of rents on existing properties arising from leases with new tenants and renewed leases with existing tenants for the period presented and, therefore, does not include new acquisitions or properties placed into service for our portfolio during the period presented, as applicable.

During the three months ended March 31, 2017, we entered into one new lease for a total of approximately 0.1 million square feet of leased space. The average rent for the leased space is $16.44 per square foot. We provided a tenant improvement allowance for the new lease of $4.5 million. In addition, during the three months ended March 31, 2017, we extended eight leases with existing tenants for a total of approximately 1.3 million square feet of leased space. The estimated average new rent for the leased space is $3.74 per square foot, compared to the average former rent of $4.17 per square foot, reflecting current market conditions. We provided a tenant improvement allowance on three of these leases totaling $1.4 million.

Property level contribution is a non-GAAP measure that we believe to be a useful supplemental measure for management and investors in evaluating and analyzing the financial results of our net-leased and operating properties included in our Owned Real Estate segment over time. Property level contribution presents the lease and operating property revenues, less property expenses and depreciation and amortization. We believe that Property level contribution allows for meaningful comparison



	W. P. Carey 3/31/2017 10-Q – 57

between periods of the direct costs of owning and operating our net-leased assets and operating properties. When a property is leased on a net-lease basis, reimbursable tenant costs are recorded as both income and property expense and, therefore, have no impact on the Property level contribution. While we believe that Property level contribution is a useful supplemental measure, it should not be considered as an alternative to Net income from Owned Real Estate attributable to W. P. Carey as an indication of our operating performance.

Existing Net-Leased Properties

Existing net-leased properties are those that we acquired or placed into service prior to January 1, 2016 and that were not sold or held for sale during the periods presented. For the periods presented, there were 817 existing net-leased properties.

For the three months ended March 31, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016, property level contribution for existing net-leased properties increased by $5.4 million, primarily due to a decrease in property expenses of $6.4 million and a decrease in depreciation and amortization expense of $0.6 million, partially offset by a decrease in lease revenues of $1.6 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, we recorded an allowance for credit losses of $7.1 million on a direct financing lease due to a decline in the estimated amount of future payments we will receive from the tenant, including the possible early termination of the direct financing lease (Note 5), which was included in property expenses. Lease revenues decreased by $2.4 million as a result of a decrease in the average exchange rate of the U.S. dollar in relation to foreign currencies (primarily the euro) between the periods; by $1.1 million due to lease restructurings; and by $0.4 million due to lease expirations. These decreases were partially offset by increases of $1.1 million related to scheduled rent increases; $0.6 million related to completed build-to-suit or expansion projects; and $0.5 million due to new leases with existing tenants.

Recently Acquired Net-Leased Properties

Recently acquired net-leased properties are those that we acquired or placed into service subsequent to December 31, 2015. Since January 1, 2016, we acquired three investments, comprised of 66 properties, all of which were acquired subsequent to March 31, 2016.

For the three months ended March 31, 2017, property level contribution from recently acquired net-leased properties was $6.4 million, reflecting the results of operations of our investments completed during 2016.

Properties Sold or Held for Sale

In addition to the impact on property level contribution related to properties we sold or classified as held for sale during the periods presented, we recognized gains and losses on sale of real estate, lease termination income, and loss on extinguishment of debt. The impact of these transactions is described in further detail below and in Note 15.

During the three months ended March 31, 2017, we disposed of three properties, one of which was held for sale at December 31, 2016, and a parcel of vacant land. During the year ended December 31, 2016, we disposed of 33 properties and a parcel of vacant land.

In the fourth quarter of 2015, we executed a lease amendment with a tenant in a domestic office building. The amendment extended the lease term an additional 15 years to January 31, 2037 and provided a one-time rent payment of $25.0 million, which was paid to us on December 18, 2015. The lease amendment also provided an option to terminate the lease effective February 29, 2016, with additional lease termination fees of $22.2 million to be paid to us on or five days before February 29, 2016 upon exercise of the option. The tenant exercised the option on January 1, 2016. The aggregate of the additional rent payment of $25.0 million and the lease termination fees of $22.2 million were amortized to lease termination income from the lease amendment date on December 4, 2015 through the end of the non-cancelable lease term on February 29, 2016, resulting in $15.0 million recognized during the year ended December 31, 2015 and $32.2 million recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2016 within Lease termination income and other in the consolidated financial statements. During the fourth quarter of 2015, we entered into an agreement to sell the property to a third party. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, we sold the property. As a result of this lease termination and sale, we recognized accelerated amortization of below-market rent intangibles of $16.7 million in the first quarter of 2016, which was recorded as an adjustment to lease revenues. In addition, for the same property, we recognized accelerated amortization of in-place lease intangibles of $20.3 million in that quarter, which is included in depreciation and amortization expense.

Operating Properties

Operating properties consist of our investments in two hotels for all periods presented.

For the three months ended March 31, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016, property level contribution from operating properties was substantially unchanged.

Other Revenues and Expenses

Lease Termination Income and Other

2017 — For the three months ended March 31, 2017, lease termination income and other was $0.8 million, primarily consisting of income related to a lease termination during the period, as well as earnings from our note receivable (Note 5).

2016 — For the three months ended March 31, 2016, lease termination income and other was $32.5 million, primarily consisting of the $32.2 million of lease termination income related to a domestic property that was sold during the three months ended March 31, 2016, as discussed above (Note 15).

General and Administrative

As discussed in Note 3, certain personnel costs (i.e., those not related to our senior management, our legal transactions team, our broker-dealer, or our investments team) and overhead costs are charged to the CPA^® REITs and our Owned Real Estate Segment based on the trailing 12-month reported revenues of the Managed Programs and us, with the remainder borne by our Investment Management segment. Personnel costs related to our senior management, our legal transactions team, and our investments team are allocated to our Owned Real Estate Segment based on the trailing 12-month investment volume. We allocate personnel costs (excluding our senior management, our broker-dealer, and our investments team) and overhead costs to the CWI REITs, the Managed BDCs, and CESH I based on the time incurred by our personnel.

For the three months ended March 31, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016, general and administrative expenses in our Owned Real Estate segment, which excludes restructuring and other compensation expenses as described below, decreased by $1.3 million, primarily due to an overall decline in compensation expense and professional fees as a result of the reduction in headcount, including the RIF, and other cost savings initiatives implemented during 2016.

Stock-based Compensation Expense

For the three months ended March 31, 2017, stock-based compensation expense allocated to our Owned Real Estate segment was $2.0 million, substantially unchanged from the prior year period.

Property Acquisition and Other Expenses

For the three months ended March 31, 2017, property acquisition and other expenses were less than $0.1 million, which substantially consisted of immaterial acquisition-related costs incurred on certain investments completed in prior periods.

For the three months ended March 31, 2016, property acquisition and other expenses were $2.9 million, which substantially consisted of advisory expenses and professional fees within our Owned Real Estate segment in connection with the formal strategic review that we completed in May 2016.

Restructuring and Other Compensation

For the three months ended March 31, 2016, we recorded total restructuring and other compensation expenses of $11.5 million, of which $4.4 million was allocated to our Owned Real Estate segment. Included in the total was $5.1 million of severance related to the employment agreement with our former chief executive officer and $6.4 million related to severance, stock-based compensation, and other costs incurred as part of the employee terminations and RIF during the period (Note 12).

Interest Expense

For the three months ended March 31, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016, interest expense decreased by $6.4 million, primarily due to an overall decrease in our weighted-average interest rate, as well as an overall decrease in our average



	W. P. Carey 3/31/2017 10-Q – 59

outstanding debt balance. Our weighted-average interest rate was 3.8% and 4.1% during the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Our average outstanding debt balance was $4.2 billion and $4.6 billion during the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The weighted-average interest rate of our debt decreased primarily as a result of paying off certain non-recourse mortgage loans with unsecured borrowings, which bear interest at a lower rate than our mortgage loans (Note 10).

Equity in Earnings of Equity Method Investments in the Managed REITs and Real Estate

Equity in earnings of equity method investments in the Managed REITs and real estate is recognized in accordance with the investment agreement for each of our equity method investments. In addition, we are entitled to receive distributions of Available Cash (Note 3) from the operating partnerships of each of the Managed REITs. The net income of our unconsolidated investments fluctuates based on the timing of transactions, such as new leases and property sales, as well as the level of impairment charges. The following table presents the details of our Equity in earnings of equity method investments in the Managed REITs and real estate (in thousands):



	Three Months Ended March 31,

__________

(a)

We are entitled to receive distributions of our share of earnings up to 10% of the Available Cash from the operating partnerships of each of the Managed REITs, as defined in their respective operating partnership agreements (Note 3). Distributions of Available Cash received and earned from the Managed REITs increased in the aggregate, primarily as a result of new investments that they entered into during 2017 and 2016.


(b)	Decrease for the three months ended March 31, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016 was primarily due to our proportionate share of approximately $1.5 million of an impairment charge recognized by a jointly owned investment (Note 6).

Other Income and (Expenses)

Other income and (expenses) primarily consists of gains and losses on foreign currency transactions, derivative instruments, and extinguishment of debt. We make intercompany loans to a number of our foreign subsidiaries, most of which do not have the U.S. dollar as their functional currency. Remeasurement of foreign currency intercompany transactions that are scheduled for settlement, consisting primarily of accrued interest and short-term loans, are included in the determination of net income. We also recognize gains or losses on foreign currency transactions when we repatriate cash from our foreign investments. In addition, we have certain derivative instruments, including common stock warrants and foreign currency contracts, that are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes, for which realized and unrealized gains and losses are included in earnings. The timing and amount of such gains or losses cannot always be estimated and are subject to fluctuation.

2017 — For the three months ended March 31, 2017, net other income was less than $0.1 million. During the period, we recognized realized gains of $3.4 million related to foreign currency forward contracts and foreign currency collars and interest income of $0.6 million on our deposits. These gains were partially offset by net realized and unrealized losses of $2.5 million recognized on foreign currency transactions as a result of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, a net loss on extinguishment of debt totaling $0.9 million primarily related to the amendment and restatement of our Senior Unsecured Credit Facility (Note 10), and unrealized losses of $0.5 million recognized primarily on our common stock warrants.



	W. P. Carey 3/31/2017 10-Q – 60

2016 — For the three months ended March 31, 2016, net other income was $3.8 million. During the period, we recognized net realized and unrealized gains of $2.7 million recognized on foreign currency transactions as a result of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, realized gains of $2.0 million related to foreign currency forward contracts and foreign currency collars, and unrealized gains of $0.8 million recognized primarily on interest rate swaps that did not qualify for hedge accounting. These gains were partially offset by a loss on extinguishment of debt of $1.9 million related to the defeasance of a loan encumbering a property that was sold during the three months ended March 31, 2016.

Provision for Income Taxes

For the three months ended March 31, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016, provision for income taxes within our Owned Real Estate segment decreased by $0.6 million, primarily due to an increase of $1.0 million in deferred tax benefits primarily associated with basis differences on certain foreign properties, partially offset by an increase of $0.4 million in current federal, foreign, and state franchise taxes due to increases in taxable income on our domestic TRSs and foreign properties.

Gain on Sale of Real Estate, Net of Tax

Gain on sale of real estate, net of tax consists of gain on the sale of properties that were disposed of during the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 (Note 15).

2017 — During the three months ended March 31, 2017, we sold one property and a parcel of vacant land for net proceeds of $24.2 million and recognized a net gain on these sales, net of tax totaling $0.1 million. The property was held for sale at December 31, 2016 (Note 4). In addition, in January 2017, we transferred ownership of two international properties and the related non-recourse mortgage loan, which had an aggregate asset carrying value of $31.3 million and an outstanding balance of $28.1 million (net of $3.8 million of cash held in escrow that was retained by the mortgage lender), respectively, on the dates of transfer, to the mortgage lender, resulting in a net loss of less than $0.1 million.

2016 — During the three months ended March 31, 2016, we sold four properties and a parcel of vacant land for net proceeds of $103.7 million and recognized a net gain on these sales, net of tax totaling $0.7 million, inclusive of amounts attributable to noncontrolling interests of $0.9 million.

Investment Management

We earn revenue as the advisor to the Managed Programs. For the periods presented, we acted as advisor to the following affiliated Managed Programs: CPA^®:17 – Global, CPA^®:18 – Global, CWI 1, CWI 2 (since February 9, 2015), CCIF (since February 27, 2015), and CESH I (since June 3, 2016).

Reimbursable Costs from Affiliates

Reimbursable costs from affiliates represent costs incurred by us on behalf of the Managed Programs, consisting primarily of broker-dealer commissions, distribution and shareholder servicing fees, and marketing and personnel costs, which are reimbursed by the Managed Programs and are reflected as a component of both revenues and expenses.

For the three months ended March 31, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016, reimbursable costs from affiliates increased by $6.0 million, primarily due to an increase of $4.8 million of distribution and shareholder servicing fees and commissions paid to broker-dealers related to CWI 2’s initial public offering and an increase of $1.5 million of commissions



	W. P. Carey 3/31/2017 10-Q – 62

paid to broker-dealers related to the sale of the CCIF Feeder Funds’ shares. These funds had higher fundraising during the current year period. CCIF 2016 T’s offering closed on April 28, 2017. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $0.4 million in personnel costs reimbursed to us by the Managed Programs.

Asset Management Revenue

We earn asset management revenue from the Managed REITs based on the value of their real estate-related and lodging-related assets under management. We also earn asset management revenue from CCIF based on the average of its gross assets at fair value and from CESH I based on its gross assets at fair value. This asset management revenue may increase or decrease depending upon (i) increases in the Managed Programs’ asset bases as a result of new investments; (ii) decreases in the Managed Programs’ asset bases as a result of sales of investments; (iii) increases or decreases in the appraised value of the real estate-related and lodging-related assets in the investment portfolios of the Managed REITs and CESH I; and (iv) increases or decreases in the fair value of CCIF’s investment portfolio.

For the three months ended March 31, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016, asset management revenue increased by $2.8 million as a result of the growth in assets under management due to investment volume after March 31, 2016. Asset management revenue increased by $1.2 million from CCIF, $1.2 million from CWI 2, $0.3 million from CPA^®:18 – Global, and $0.1 million from CWI 1. In addition, we recognized asset management revenue of $0.1 million during the current year period from CESH I, which completed its first investment during the second quarter of 2016. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $0.2 million in asset management revenue from CPA^®:17 – Global, which sold 34 self-storage properties during 2016, resulting in a decrease in assets under management for that fund.

Structuring Revenue

We earn structuring revenue when we structure investments and debt placement transactions for the Managed REITs and CESH I. Structuring revenue is dependent on investment activity, which is subject to significant period-to-period variation.

For the three months ended March 31, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016, structuring revenue decreased by $8.9 million. Structuring revenue from CWI 2, CWI 1, CPA^®:18 – Global, and CPA^®:17 – Global decreased by $4.7 million, $3.2 million, $1.1 million, and $0.8 million, respectively, as a result of lower investment volume during the current year period. These decreases were partially offset by $0.9 million of structuring revenue recognized during the current year period from CESH I, which completed two investments during the period.

Dealer Manager Fees

As discussed in Note 3, we earn a dealer manager fee, depending on the class of common stock sold, of $0.30 or $0.26 per share sold, for the class A common stock and class T common stock, respectively, in connection with CWI 2’s initial public offering, which began in February 2015 and was suspended on March 31, 2017. As discussed above, the registration statement for CWI 2’s extended offering became effective on April 27, 2017, and the new dealer manager fees will be $0.36 and $0.31 per Class A and Class T Shares, respectively, for that offering. We receive dealer manager fees of 2.50% - 3.0% based on the selling price of each share sold in connection with the offerings of the CCIF Feeder Funds, which began in the fourth quarter of 2015. CCIF 2016 T’s offering closed on April 28, 2017. We also receive dealer manager fees of up to 3.0% of gross offering proceeds based on the selling price of each limited partnership unit sold in connection with CESH I’s private placement, which commenced in July 2016. We may re-allow a portion of the dealer manager fees to selected dealers in the offerings. Dealer manager fees that were not re-allowed were classified as Dealer manager fees in the consolidated financial statements. Dealer manager fees earned are generally offset by costs incurred in connection with the offerings, which are included in Dealer manager fees and expenses in the consolidated financial statements.

For the three months ended March 31, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016, dealer manager fees increased by $1.2 million, primarily due to an increase of $0.6 million in fees earned in connection with the sale of shares of the CCIF Feeder Funds and an increase of $0.6 million in fees earned in connection with the sale of CWI 2 shares in its initial public offering. These funds had higher fundraising during the current year period.

General and Administrative



	W. P. Carey 3/31/2017 10-Q – 63

Investment Management segment. Personnel costs related to our senior management, our legal transactions team, and our investments team are allocated to our Owned Real Estate Segment based on the trailing 12-month investment volume. We allocate personnel costs (excluding our senior management, our broker-dealer, and our investments team) and overhead costs to the CWI REITs, the Managed BDCs, and CESH I based on the time incurred by our personnel.

For the three months ended March 31, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016, general and administrative expenses in our Investment Management segment, which excludes restructuring and other compensation expenses as described below, decreased by $1.7 million, primarily due to an overall decline in compensation expense and professional fees as a result of the reduction in headcount, including the RIF, and other cost savings initiatives implemented during 2016. Also contributing to the decrease were lower commissions to investment officers during the current year period, which decreased by $0.5 million, resulting from lower investment volume on behalf of the Managed Programs.

Stock-based Compensation Expense

For the three months ended March 31, 2017, stock-based compensation expense allocated to our Investment Management segment was $5.0 million, substantially unchanged from the prior year period.

Dealer Manager Fees and Expenses

Dealer manager fees earned in the offerings that we manage for the Managed Programs are generally offset by costs incurred in connection with the offerings, which are included in Dealer manager fees and expenses in the consolidated financial statements.

For the three months ended March 31, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016, dealer manager fees and expenses decreased by less than $0.1 million, primarily due to a decrease of $0.4 million in expenses paid in connection with the CWI 2 initial public offering due to lower compensation expenses, partially offset by an increase of $0.4 million in expenses paid in connection with the sale of shares of the CCIF Feeder Funds.

Subadvisor Fees

As discussed in Note 3, we earn investment management revenue from CWI 1, CWI 2, CPA^®:18 – Global, and CCIF. Pursuant to the terms of the subadvisory agreements we have with the third-party subadvisors in connection with both CWI 1 and CWI 2, we pay a subadvisory fee equal to 20% of the amount of fees paid to us by CWI 1 and 25% of the amount of fees paid to us by CWI 2, including but not limited to: acquisition fees, asset management fees, loan refinancing fees, property management fees, and subordinated disposition fees, each as defined in the advisory agreements we have with each of CWI 1 and CWI 2. We also pay to each subadvisor 20% and 25% of the net proceeds resulting from any sale, financing, or recapitalization or sale of securities of CWI 1 and CWI 2, respectively, by us, the advisor. In addition, in connection with the multi-family properties acquired on behalf of CPA^®:18 – Global, we entered into agreements with third-party advisors for the acquisition and day-to-day management of the properties, for which we pay 30% of the initial acquisition fees and 100% of asset management fees paid to us by CPA^®:18 – Global. Pursuant to the terms of the subadvisory agreement we have with the third-party subadvisor in connection with CCIF, we pay a subadvisory fee equal to 50% of the asset management fees and organization and offering costs paid to us by CCIF.

For the three months ended March 31, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016, subadvisor fees decreased by $0.6 million, primarily due to a decrease of $0.6 million as a result of lower fees earned from CWI 1 and a decrease of $0.6 million as a result of lower fees earned from CWI 2. Both CWI 1 and CWI 2 completed investments during the prior year period but did not complete any investments during the current year period. These decreases were partially offset by an increase of $0.6 million as a result of an increase in fees earned from CCIF, which paid higher asset management fees to us during the current year period as compared to the prior year period.

Restructuring and Other Compensation

For the three months ended March 31, 2016, we recorded total restructuring and other compensation expenses of $11.5 million, of which $7.0 million was allocated to our Investment Management segment. Included in the total was $5.1 million of severance related to the employment agreement with our former chief executive officer and $6.4 million related to severance, stock-based compensation, and other costs incurred as part of the RIF during that period (Note 12).



	W. P. Carey 3/31/2017 10-Q – 64

Property Acquisition and Other Expenses

For three months ended March 31, 2016, we incurred advisory expenses and professional fees of $2.7 million within our Investment Management segment in connection with the formal strategic review that we completed in May 2016.

Equity in Earnings (Losses) of Equity Method Investment in CCIF

In December 2014, we acquired a $25.0 million interest in CCIF (Note 6).

For the three months ended March 31, 2017, we recognized equity in earnings of equity method investment in CCIF of $0.5 million, compared to equity in losses of equity method investment in CCIF of $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016. Equity in earnings recognized during the current year period reflected an increase in the fair value of investments owned by CCIF. Equity in losses recognized during the prior year period reflected a decrease in the fair value of investments owned by CCIF.

Benefit from Income Taxes

For the three months ended March 31, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016, benefit from income taxes within our Investment Management segment increased by $1.2 million, primarily due to a deferred windfall tax benefit of $2.2 million recognized during the current year period as a result of the adoption of ASU 2016-09 during the first quarter of 2017, under which such benefits are now reflected as a reduction to provision for income taxes (Note 2), partially offset by a decrease of $0.7 million in benefit from income taxes due to lower pre-tax losses recognized by the TRSs in our Investment Management segment.

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 distributions 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 receipt of proceeds from, and the repayment of, mortgage loans and receipt of lease revenues; the receipt of the annual installment of deferred acquisition revenue and interest thereon from the CPA^® REITs; the receipt of the asset management fees in either shares of the common stock or limited partnership units of the Managed Programs or cash; the timing and characterization of distributions from equity investments in the Managed Programs and real estate; the receipt of distributions of Available Cash from the Managed REITs; and changes in foreign currency exchange rates. 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, unused capacity under our Senior Unsecured Credit Facility, proceeds from dispositions of properties, proceeds of mortgage loans, net contributions from noncontrolling interests, and the issuance of additional debt or equity securities, such as sales of our stock through our ATM program, 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 decreased by $8.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016, primarily due to lease termination income received in connection with the sale of a property during the three months ended March 31, 2016, a decrease in structuring revenue received in cash from the Managed Programs as a result of their lower investment volume during the current year period, and a decrease in cash flow as a result of property dispositions during 2016 and 2017. These decreases were partially offset by a decrease in interest expense, lower general and administrative expenses in the current year period, and an increase in cash flow generated from properties acquired during 2016.



	W. P. Carey 3/31/2017 10-Q – 65

Investing Activities — Our investing activities are generally comprised of real estate-related transactions (purchases and sales) and capitalized property-related costs.

During the three months ended March 31, 2017, we used $22.8 million to fund short-term loans to the Managed Programs (Note 3), and $210.0 million of such loans made by us in prior periods were repaid during the current year period. We sold one property and a parcel of vacant land for net proceeds of $24.2 million. We used $13.0 million primarily to fund expansions on our existing properties. We also received $1.5 million in distributions from equity investments in the Managed Programs and real estate in excess of cumulative equity income. In addition, we used $1.3 million to invest in capital expenditures for owned real estate.

Financing Activities — During the three months ended March 31, 2017, gross borrowings under our Senior Unsecured Credit Facility were $778.8 million and repayments were $1.3 billion. We received $530.5 million in net proceeds from the issuance of the 2.25% Senior Notes in January 2017, which we used primarily to pay down the outstanding balance on our Revolver at that time (Note 10). In connection with the issuances of these notes and the amendment and restatement our Senior Unsecured Credit Facility in February 2017 (Note 10), we incurred financing costs totaling $12.5 million. We also made prepaid and scheduled non-recourse mortgage loan principal payments of $42.4 million and $257.4 million, respectively. We received contributions from noncontrolling interests totaling $80.5 million, primarily from an affiliate in connection with the repayment at maturity of mortgage loans encumbering the Hellweg 2 Portfolio (Note 10). We paid distributions to stockholders totaling $106.8 million related to the fourth quarter of 2016; and also paid distributions of $6.3 million to affiliates that hold noncontrolling interests in various entities with us.

Cash Resources

At March 31, 2017, our cash resources consisted of the following:


•	cash and cash equivalents totaling $152.8 million. Of this amount, $54.7 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 Revolver, with unused capacity of $1.3 billion, excluding amounts reserved for outstanding letters of credit;


•	our Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility, with a capacity of $100.0 million, which we have not drawn upon; and


•	unleveraged properties that had an aggregate carrying value of $3.4 billion at March 31, 2017, although there can be no assurance that we would be able to obtain financing for these properties.

We also have the ability to access the capital markets, in the form of additional bond and equity offerings, such as the €500.0 million of 2.25% Senior Notes issued in January 2017 (Note 10) and our ATM program, if necessary. During the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, we did not issue any shares of our common stock under either our current or prior ATM program (Note 13). As of March 31, 2017, $400.0 million remained available for issuance under our current ATM program.

Senior Unsecured Credit Facility

Our Senior Unsecured Credit Facility is more fully described in Note 10. A summary of our Senior Unsecured Credit Facility is provided below (in thousands):



	March 31, 2017				December 31, 2016
	Outstanding Balance		Maximum Available		Outstanding Balance		Maximum Available
Term Loan Facilities ^(a)	$	252,655	$	352,655	$	250,000	$	250,000
Revolver	192,804		1,500,000		676,715		1,500,000

__________


(a)	Outstanding balance excludes unamortized discount of $1.4 million at March 31, 2017. Outstanding balance also excludes unamortized deferred financing costs of $0.3 million and less than $0.1 million at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

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

Cash Requirements

During the next 12 months, we expect that our cash requirements will include payments to acquire new investments, funding capital commitments such as build-to-suit projects, paying distributions to our stockholders and to our affiliates that hold noncontrolling interests in entities we control, making scheduled interest payments on the Senior Unsecured Notes, scheduled mortgage loan principal payments, including mortgage balloon payments on our consolidated mortgage loan obligations, and prepayments of our consolidated mortgage loan obligations, as well as other normal recurring operating expenses.

We expect to fund future investments, build-to-suit commitments, any capital expenditures on existing properties, scheduled debt maturities on non-recourse mortgage loans and any loans to certain of the Managed Programs (Note 3) through cash generated from operations, cash received from dispositions of properties, the use of our cash reserves or unused amounts on our Revolver and Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility, and/or additional equity or debt offerings.

Our liquidity would be adversely affected by unanticipated costs and greater-than-anticipated operating expenses. To the extent that our working capital reserve is insufficient to satisfy our cash requirements, additional funds may be provided from cash from operations and from equity distributions in excess of equity income in real estate to meet our normal recurring short-term and long-term liquidity needs. We may also use existing cash resources, the proceeds of mortgage loans, unused capacity on our Revolver and Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility, net contributions from noncontrolling interests, and the issuance of additional debt or equity securities, such as through our ATM program, to meet these needs.

(a)

Excludes unamortized deferred financing costs totaling $17.3 million, the unamortized discount on the Senior Unsecured Notes of $10.4 million in aggregate, the unamortized discount on the Amended Term Loan Facility of $1.4 million, and the unamortized fair market value adjustment of $0.4 million resulting from the assumption of property-level debt in connection with both the CPA^®:15 Merger and the CPA^®:16 Merger (Note 10).


(b)	Our Senior Unsecured Notes are scheduled to mature from 2023 through 2026.


(c)	Our Revolver is scheduled to mature on February 22, 2021 unless otherwise extended pursuant to its terms. Our Amended Term Loan Facility is scheduled to mature on February 22, 2022.


(d)	Interest on unhedged variable-rate debt obligations was calculated using the applicable annual variable interest rates and balances outstanding at March 31, 2017.

(e)

Operating and other lease commitments consist primarily of rental obligations under ground leases and the future minimum rents payable on the leases for our principal offices. Pursuant to their respective advisory agreements with us, we are reimbursed by the Managed Programs for their share of overhead costs, which includes a portion of those future minimum rent amounts. Our operating lease commitments are presented net of $9.6 million, based on the allocation percentages as of March 31, 2017, which we estimate the Managed Programs will reimburse us for in full.


(f)	Capital commitments include (i) $123.1 million related to build-to-suit expansions and (ii) $25.6 million related to unfunded tenant improvements, including certain discretionary commitments.


(g)	Represents severance-related obligations to our former chief executive officer and other employees (Note 12).

Amounts in the table above that relate to our foreign operations are based on the exchange rate of the local currencies at March 31, 2017, which consisted primarily of the euro. At March 31, 2017, we had no material capital lease obligations for which we were the lessee, either individually or in the aggregate.

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, or 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.

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., or 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



	W. P. Carey 3/31/2017 10-Q – 68

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 revised in February 2004. 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, 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. Our FFO calculation complies with NAREIT’s policy described above.

We modify the NAREIT computation of FFO to include other adjustments to GAAP net income to adjust for certain non-cash charges such as amortization of real estate-related intangibles, deferred income tax benefits and expenses, straight-line rents, stock compensation, gains or losses from extinguishment of debt and deconsolidation of subsidiaries and unrealized foreign currency exchange gains and losses. Our assessment of our operations is focused on long-term sustainability and not on such non-cash items, which may cause short-term fluctuations in net income but have no impact on cash flows. Additionally, we exclude non-core income and expenses such as property acquisition and other expenses (which includes expenses related to the formal strategic review that we completed in May 2016), certain lease termination income, and restructuring and other compensation-related expenses resulting from a reduction in headcount and employee severance arrangements during the three months ended March 31, 2016. We also exclude realized gains/losses on foreign exchange transactions, 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 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 which are currently not engaged in acquisitions, mergers, and restructuring which are not part of our normal business operations. We use AFFO as one measure of our operating performance when we formulate corporate goals, evaluate the effectiveness of our strategies, and determine executive compensation.

We believe that AFFO is a useful supplemental measure for investors to consider 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 earnings computed under GAAP or as alternatives to cash from operating activities computed under GAAP or as indicators of our ability to fund our cash needs.

__________


(a)	Amount for the three months ended March 31, 2016 includes an adjustment of $15.6 million related to the acceleration of a below-market lease from a tenant of a domestic property that was sold during the period.

(b)

Amount for the three months ended March 31, 2016 includes an adjustment to exclude $27.2 million of the $32.2 million of lease termination income recognized in connection with a domestic property that was sold during the period, as such amount was determined to be non-core income (Note 15). Amount for the three months ended March 31, 2016 also reflects an adjustment to include $1.8 million of lease termination income received in December 2015 that represented core income for the three months ended March 31, 2016.


(c)	Represents primarily unrealized gains and losses from foreign exchange and derivatives.


(d)	Effective July 1, 2016, the amortization of debt premiums and discounts, which was previously included in Other amortization and non-cash items, is included in Amortization of deferred financing costs. Prior periods are retrospectively adjusted to reflect this change. Amortization of debt premiums and discounts for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was $0.6 million.


(e)	Amount for the three months ended March 31, 2016 is comprised of expenses related to our formal strategic review, which concluded in May 2016.


(f)	Amount for the three months ended March 31, 2016 represents restructuring and other compensation-related expenses resulting from a reduction in headcount, including the RIF, and employee severance arrangements (Note 12).

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 risks that we are exposed to are interest rate risk and foreign currency exchange risk. We are also exposed to further market risk as a result of tenant concentrations in certain industries and/or geographic regions, since adverse market factors can affect the ability of tenants in a particular industry/region to meet their respective lease obligations. In order to manage this risk, we view our collective tenant roster as a portfolio and we attempt to diversify such portfolio so that we are not overexposed to a particular industry or geographic region.

Generally, we do not use derivative instruments to hedge credit/market risks or for speculative purposes. However, from time to time, we may enter into foreign currency forward contracts and collars to hedge our foreign currency cash flow exposures.

Interest Rate Risk

The values of our real estate, related fixed-rate debt obligations, and our note receivable investments are subject to fluctuations based on changes in interest rates. The value of our real estate is also subject to fluctuations based on local and regional economic conditions and changes in the creditworthiness of lessees, which may affect our ability to refinance property-level mortgage debt when balloon payments are scheduled, if we do not choose to repay the debt when due. Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors, including governmental monetary and tax policies, domestic and international economic and political conditions, and other factors beyond our control. An increase in interest rates would likely cause the fair value of our owned and managed assets to decrease, which would create lower revenues from managed assets and lower investment performance for the Managed REITs. 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 historically attempted to obtain non-recourse mortgage financing on a long-term, fixed-rate basis. However, from time to time, we or our joint 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 lenders. Interest rate swap agreements effectively convert the variable-rate debt service obligations of a loan to a fixed rate, while interest rate cap agreements limit the underlying interest rate from exceeding a specified strike rate. Interest rate swaps are agreements in which one party exchanges a stream of interest payments for a counterparty’s stream of cash flows over a specific period, and interest rate caps limit the effective borrowing rate of variable-rate debt obligations while allowing participants to share in downward shifts in interest rates. These interest rate swaps and caps are derivative instruments that, where applicable, are designated as cash flow hedges on the forecasted interest payments on the debt obligation. The face amount on which the swaps or caps are based is not exchanged. Our objective in using these derivatives is to limit our exposure to interest rate movements. At March 31, 2017, we estimated that the total fair value of our interest rate swaps and cap, which are included in Other assets, net and Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities in the consolidated financial statements, was in a net liability position of $2.0 million (Note 9).

At March 31, 2017, a significant portion (approximately 86.8%) of our long-term debt either bore interest at fixed rates, was swapped or capped to a fixed rate, or bore interest at fixed rates that were scheduled to convert to then-prevailing market fixed rates at certain future points during their term. The annual interest rates on our fixed-rate debt at March 31, 2017 ranged from 2.0% to 7.8%. The contractual annual interest rates on our variable-rate debt at March 31, 2017 ranged from 0.9% to 6.9%. 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 outflows for the remainder of 2017, each of the next four calendar years following December 31, 2017, and thereafter, based upon expected maturity dates of our debt obligations outstanding at March 31, 2017 (in thousands):



	2017 (Remainder)		2018		2019		2020		2021		Thereafter		Total		Fair value
Fixed-rate debt ^(a)	$	188,757	$	134,759	$	86,473	$	174,704	$	117,578	$	2,797,777	$	3,500,048	$	3,544,873
Variable-rate debt ^(a)	$	5,623	$	131,021	$	13,189	$	42,999	$	232,677	$	277,334	$	702,843	$	700,323

__________


(a)	Amounts are based on the exchange rate at March 31, 2017, as applicable.



	W. P. Carey 3/31/2017 10-Q – 73

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 March 31, 2017 would increase or decrease by $5.5 million for each respective 1% change in annual interest rates. As more fully described under Liquidity and Capital Resources – Summary of Financing in Item 2 above, a portion of the debt classified as variable-rate debt in the tables above bore interest at fixed rates at March 31, 2017 but has interest rate reset features that will change the fixed interest rates to then-prevailing market fixed rates at certain points during their term. This debt is generally not subject to short-term fluctuations in interest rates.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

We own international investments, primarily in Europe, Australia, Asia, and Canada, 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 Australian dollar, and the Canadian dollar, which may affect future costs and cash flows. We manage foreign currency exchange rate movements by generally placing our debt service obligation to the lender and the tenant’s rental obligation to us in the same currency. This reduces our overall exposure to the net cash flow from that investment. 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. As part of our investment strategy, we make intercompany loans to a number of our foreign subsidiaries, most of which do not have the U.S. dollar as their functional currency. Remeasurement of foreign currency intercompany transactions that are scheduled for settlement, consisting primarily of accrued interest and short-term loans, are included in the determination of net income. For the three months ended March 31, 2017, we recognized net foreign currency transaction losses (included in Other income and (expenses) in the consolidated financial statements) of $2.6 million, primarily due to the weakening of the U.S. dollar relative to the euro during the period. The end-of-period rate for the U.S. dollar in relation to the euro at March 31, 2017 increased by 1.4% to $1.0691 from $1.0541 at December 31, 2016.

The June 23, 2016 referendum by voters in the United Kingdom to exit the European Union, a process commonly referred to as “Brexit,” adversely impacted global markets, including the currencies, and resulted in a sharp decline in the value of the British pound sterling and, to a lesser extent, the euro, as compared to the U.S. dollar. Volatility in exchange rates is expected to continue as the United Kingdom negotiates its likely exit from the European Union. As of March 31, 2017, 4.9% and 22.4% of our total ABR was from the United Kingdom and other European Union countries, respectively. We currently hedge a portion of our British pound sterling exposure and our euro exposure through the next five years, thereby significantly reducing our currency risk. Any impact from Brexit on us will depend, in part, on the outcome of tariff, trade, regulatory, and other negotiations. Although it is unknown what the result of those negotiations will be, it is possible that new terms may adversely affect our operations and financial results.

We enter into foreign currency forward contracts and collars to hedge certain of our foreign currency cash flow exposures. A foreign currency forward contract is a commitment to deliver a certain amount of foreign currency at a certain price on a specific date in the future. 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. By entering into forward contracts and holding them to maturity, we are locked into a future currency exchange rate for the term of the contract. A foreign currency collar guarantees that the exchange rate of the currency will not fluctuate beyond the range of the options’ strike prices. The estimated fair value of our foreign currency forward contracts and collars, which are included in Other assets, net and Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities in the consolidated financial statements, was in a net asset position of $44.9 million at March 31, 2017. We have obtained, and may in the future obtain, non-recourse mortgage financing in the local currency. We have also issued the euro-denominated 2.0% Senior Notes and 2.25% Senior Notes, and have borrowed under our Revolver and Amended Term Loan Facility in foreign currencies, including the euro and the British pound sterling. To the extent that currency fluctuations increase or decrease rental revenues, as translated to U.S. dollars, the change in debt service, 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.

__________


(a)	Amounts are based on the applicable exchange rates at March 31, 2017. Contractual rents and debt obligations are denominated in the functional currency of the country of each property.

(b)

We estimate that, for a 1% increase or decrease in the exchange rate between the euro and the U.S. dollar, there would be a corresponding change in the projected estimated cash flow at March 31, 2017 of $0.5 million. Amounts included the equivalent of $252.7 million borrowed in euro under our Amended Term Loan Facility, which is scheduled to mature on February 22, 2022; the equivalent of $89.8 million borrowed in euro under our Revolver, which is scheduled to mature on February 22, 2021 unless extended pursuant to its terms, but may be prepaid prior to that date pursuant to its terms; the equivalent of $534.6 million of 2.0% Senior Notes outstanding maturing in January 2023; and the equivalent of $534.6 million of 2.25% Senior Notes outstanding maturing in July 2024 (Note 10).


(c)	We estimate that, for a 1% increase or decrease in the exchange rate between the British pound sterling and the U.S. dollar, there would be a corresponding change in the projected estimated cash flow at March 31, 2017 of $4.1 million.


(d)	We estimate that, for a 1% increase or decrease in the exchange rate between the Australian dollar and the U.S. dollar, there would be a corresponding change in the projected estimated cash flow at March 31, 2017 of $2.1 million. There is no related mortgage loan on this investment.


(e)	Other foreign currencies for future minimum rents consist of the Canadian dollar, the Malaysian ringgit, the Swedish krona, the Norwegian krone, and the Thai baht.


(f)	Interest on unhedged variable-rate debt obligations was calculated using the applicable annual interest rates and balances outstanding at March 31, 2017.


(g)	Other foreign currencies for scheduled debt service payments consist of the Canadian dollar, the Malaysian ringgit, and the Thai baht.

As a result of scheduled balloon payments on certain of our international non-recourse mortgage loans, projected debt service obligations denominated in euros exceed projected lease revenues denominated in euros in 2018. In 2018, balloon payments denominated in euros totaling $117.8 million are due on three non-recourse mortgage loans that are collateralized by properties that we own. We currently anticipate that, by their respective due dates, we will have refinanced or repaid these loans using our cash resources, including unused capacity on our Revolver and Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility, as well as proceeds from dispositions of properties.

Projected debt service obligations denominated in euros exceed projected lease revenues denominated in euros in 2021 and thereafter, primarily due to amounts borrowed in euros under our Amended Term Loan Facility, Revolver, 2.0% Senior Notes, and 2.25% Senior Notes, as described above.

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 reasonably well diversified, it does contain concentrations in certain areas.

For the three months ended March 31, 2017, our consolidated portfolio had the following significant characteristics in excess of 10%, based on the percentage of our consolidated total revenues:


•	70% related to domestic properties; and


•	30% related to international properties.

At March 31, 2017, our net-lease portfolio, which excludes our operating properties, had the following significant property and lease characteristics in excess of 10% in certain areas, based on the percentage of our ABR as of that date:


•	67% related to domestic properties;


•	33% related to international properties;


•	30% related to industrial facilities, 25% related to office facilities, 16% related to retail facilities, and 14% related to warehouse facilities; and


•	17% related to the retail stores industry and 11% related to the consumer services industry.

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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or 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 March 31, 2017, have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were effective as of March 31, 2017 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.
