CEO Comments

"We continue to experience excellent momentum in our business," said John P. Case, Realty Income's Chief Executive Officer. "During the second quarter, we completed a near-record volume of acquisitions, executed attractively-priced capital markets transactions, and grew our portfolio occupancy from the first quarter. These activities contributed to record quarterly AFFO per share of $0.68, an increase of 6.3% year-over-year."

"We completed $721.3 million in acquisitions during the second quarter, achieving our second-highest quarterly volume of property-level acquisitions in the company's history. This brings us to $931.2 million in acquisitions completed during the first half of the year. We largely funded our year-to-date acquisition activities by raising $483.5 million of attractively-priced equity capital early in the year and executing a $250 million term loan at a fixed rate of 2.67% that comes due in 2020 when we have no scheduled unsecured debt maturities. We also recast and expanded our revolving credit facility this quarter to $2.0 billion, decreasing our all-in drawn borrowing costs by 20 basis points to LIBOR plus 1.05%. We are well-positioned with approximately $1.6 billion available on the facility to fund our future acquisition activities. We now estimate completing approximately $1.25 billion in acquisitions in 2015, an increase from our previous estimate of $1 billion."

"With the backdrop of our positive performance during the first half of the year, and the continued scalability of our business, we are raising and tightening our earnings guidance for the year from our previous AFFO per share estimate of $2.66 - $2.71. We now expect AFFO per share for 2015 of $2.69 - $2.73, representing year-over-year growth of 4.7% - 6.2%."

The calculation to determine net income for a real estate company includes impairments and/or gains on property sales. Impairments and/or gains on property sales vary from quarter to quarter. This variance can significantly impact net income and period to period comparisons.

Funds From Operations (FFO) Available to Common Stockholders
FFO for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 increased 12.0% to $159.5 million, as compared to $142.4 million for the same quarter in 2014. FFO per share for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 increased 7.8% to $0.69, as compared to $0.64 for the same quarter in 2014.

FFO for the six months ended June 30, 2015 increased 12.8% to $312.4 million, as compared to $276.9 million for the same period in 2014. FFO per share for the six months ended June 30, 2015 increased 5.4% to $1.36, as compared to $1.29 for the same period in 2014.

Adjusted Funds From Operations (AFFO) Available to Common Stockholders
AFFO for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 increased 12.7% to $159.1 million, as compared to $141.2 million for the same quarter in 2014. AFFO per share for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 increased 6.3% to $0.68, as compared to $0.64 for the same quarter in 2014.

AFFO for the six months ended June 30, 2015 increased 13.7% to $311.2 million, as compared to $273.8 million for the same period in 2014. AFFO per share for the six months ended June 30, 2015 increased 6.3% to $1.36, as compared to $1.28 for the same period in 2014.

The company considers FFO and AFFO to be appropriate supplemental measures of a Real Estate Investment Trust's (REIT's) operating performance. Realty Income defines FFO consistent with the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trust's (NAREIT's) definition, as net income available to common stockholders, plus depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, plus impairments of real estate, reduced by gains on sales of investment properties and extraordinary items. AFFO further adjusts FFO for unique revenue and expense items, which the company believes are not as pertinent to the measurement of the company's ongoing operating performance. See the reconciliations of net income available to common stockholders to FFO and AFFO on page six.

    We define AFFO as FFO adjusted for unique revenue and expense items, which the company believes are not as pertinent to the measurement of the company's ongoing operating performance.  Most companies in our industry use a similar measurement to AFFO, but they may use the term "CAD" (for Cash Available
     for Distribution) or "FAD" (for Funds Available for Distribution).
