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 decision to exit 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 recently issued accounting pronouncements; 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 estimated future growth; our projected assets under management; our future capital expenditure levels; our future financing transactions; 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, on a triple-net lease basis, which generally requires each tenant to pay 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 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. 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 September 30, 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 September 30, 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 September 30, 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 ( Note 3 ). We refer to the Managed REITs and CESH I collectively as the Managed Programs.

On June 15, 2017, our board of directors, or the Board, approved a plan to exit all non-traded retail fundraising activities carried out by our wholly-owned broker-dealer subsidiary, Carey Financial LLC, or Carey Financial, as of June 30, 2017. We currently expect to continue to manage all existing Managed Programs through the end of their respective natural life cycles ( Note 3 ).

In August 2017, we resigned as the advisor to Carey Credit Income Fund (known as Guggenheim Credit Income Fund since October 23, 2017), or CCIF, and by extension, its feeder funds, or the CCIF Feeder Funds, each of which is a business development company, or BDC ( Note 3 ). We refer to CCIF and the CCIF Feeder Funds collectively as the Managed BDCs. The board of trustees of CCIF approved our resignation and appointed CCIF’s subadvisor Guggenheim Partners Investment Management, LLC, or Guggenheim, as the interim sole advisor to CCIF, effective as of September 11, 2017. The shareholders of CCIF approved Guggenheim’s appointment as sole advisor on a permanent basis on October 20, 2017. The Managed BDCs were included in the Managed Programs prior to our resignation as their advisor.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Reportable Segments

As a result of our Board’s decision to exit all non-traded retail fundraising activities, described above, we have revised how we view and present a component of our two reportable segments. As such, beginning with the second quarter of 2017, we include equity income generated through our (i) ownership of shares and limited partnership units of the Managed Programs and (ii) special general partner interests in the operating partnerships of the Managed REITs in our Investment Management segment. Previously, these items were recognized within our Owned Real Estate segment. We also include our equity investments in the Managed Programs in our Investment Management segment. Both (i) earnings from our investment in CCIF and (ii) our investment in CCIF continue to be included in our Investment Management segment. Results of operations and assets by segment for prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

Owned Real Estate — We own and invest in commercial properties principally in North America, Europe, Australia, and Asia, which are 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 ( Note 7 ). At September 30, 2017 , our owned portfolio was comprised of our full or partial ownership interests in 890 properties, totaling approximately 85.9 million square feet, substantially all of which were net leased to 211 tenants, with an occupancy rate of 99.8% .

Investment Management — Through our TRSs, we structure and negotiate investments and debt placement transactions for the Managed Programs, for which we earn structuring revenue, and manage their portfolios of real estate investments, for which we earn asset management revenue. We also earned asset management revenue from CCIF based on the average of its gross assets at fair value through the effective date of our resignation as its advisor. 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.

In addition, we generate equity income through our ownership of shares and limited partnership units of the Managed Programs ( Note 7 ). Through our special general partner interests in the operating partnerships of the Managed REITs, we also participate in their cash flows ( Note 3 ). Our Board’s decision to exit all non-traded retail fundraising activities through Carey Financial as of June 30, 2017, as discussed above, will not affect the continuation of these current revenue streams. At September 30, 2017 , the CPA ^® REITs collectively owned all or a portion of 461 properties (including certain properties in which we have an ownership interest), totaling approximately 54.1 million square feet, substantially all of which were net leased to 207 tenants, with an occupancy rate of approximately 99.7% . The Managed Programs also had interests in 166 operating properties, totaling approximately 20.2 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.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

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.

At September 30, 2017 , we considered 28 entities to be VIEs, 21 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):



	September 30, 2017			December 31, 2016 ^(a)
Land, buildings and improvements	$	910,495		$	886,148
Net investments in direct financing leases	39,897			60,294
In-place lease and other intangible assets	265,852			245,480
Above-market rent intangible assets	102,432			98,043
Accumulated depreciation and amortization	(231,323		)	(184,710		)
Total assets	1,129,154			1,150,093

Non-recourse mortgages, net	$	128,659		$	406,574
Total liabilities	202,514			548,659

__________


(a)	In 2017, we reclassified certain line items in our consolidated balance sheets, as described below. As a result, prior period amounts for certain line items included within Net investments in real estate have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

At September 30, 2017 , our seven unconsolidated VIEs included our interests in six unconsolidated real estate investments, which we account for under the equity method of accounting, and one unconsolidated entity, which we account for under the cost method of accounting and is included within our Investment Management segment. At 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 accounted 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 September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , the net carrying amount of our investments in these entities was $152.8 million and $152.9 million , respectively, and our maximum exposure to loss in these entities was limited to our investments.

At September 30, 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



	W. P. Carey 9/30/2017 10-Q – 10

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

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 September 30, 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 . Prior to August 30, 2016, which is the date that 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), we had included CESH I’s financial results and balances in our consolidated financial statements. 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 GAAP. As of August 31, 2016, CESH I had assets totaling $30.3 million on our consolidated balance sheet, including $15.4 million in Cash and cash equivalents and $14.9 million in Other assets, net. In connection with the deconsolidation, we recorded offsetting amounts of $14.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 in Contributions from noncontrolling interests and Deconsolidation of affiliate in the consolidated statements of equity, and in Proceeds from limited partnership units issued by affiliate and Deconsolidation of affiliate in the consolidated statements of cash flows. We recognized a gain on deconsolidation of $1.9 million , which is included in Other income and (expenses) in the consolidated statements of income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 . 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 ).

Out-of-Period Adjustments

During the second quarter of 2016, we identified and recorded out-of-period adjustments related to adjustments to prior period income tax returns. We concluded that these adjustments were not material to our consolidated financial statements for any of the current or prior periods presented. The net adjustment is reflected as a $3.0 million reduction of our Benefit from income taxes in the consolidated statements of income for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 .

Reclassifications

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

In 2017, we reclassified in-place lease intangible assets, net, below-market ground lease intangible assets, net (previously included in Other assets, net), and above-market rent intangible assets, net to be included within Net investments in real estate in our consolidated balance sheets. The accumulated amortization on these assets is now included in Accumulated depreciation and amortization in our consolidated balance sheets. We also retitled the line item Real estate to Land, buildings and improvements in our consolidated balance sheets. In addition, we included the line item Operating real estate, which had previously appeared in our consolidated balance sheets, within Land, buildings and improvements in our consolidated balance sheets. Prior period balances have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

As a result of our Board’s decision to exit all non-traded retail fundraising activities as of June 30, 2017 ( Note 1 ), we have revised how we view and present a component of our two reportable segments. As such, effective since the second quarter of 2017, we include (i) equity in earnings of equity method investments in the Managed Programs and (ii) equity investments in the Managed Programs in our Investment Management segment. Results of operations and assets by segment for prior periods 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 primarily apply to revenues generated from our operating properties and our Investment Management business. We will adopt this guidance for our interim and annual 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. In addition, it also requires lessors to record gross revenues and expenses associated with activities that do not transfer services to the lessee (such as real estate taxes and insurance). Additionally, the new standard requires extensive quantitative and qualitative disclosures. 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. We will adopt this guidance for our interim and annual periods beginning January 1, 2019. 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, or ASC, 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 and nine months ended September 30, 2017 were $0.6 million and $3.6 million , respectively.

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



	W. P. Carey 9/30/2017 10-Q – 12

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 retrospectively 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 retrospectively 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 adopted ASU 2017-04 as of April 1, 2017 on a prospective basis. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact 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 in the process of evaluating the impact of ASU 2017-05 on our consolidated financial statements and will adopt the standard for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2018.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation — Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting . ASU 2017-09 clarifies when to account for a change to the terms and conditions of a share-based payment award as a modification. Under the new guidance, modification accounting is required only if the fair value, vesting conditions, or classification of the award (as equity or liability) changes as a result of the change in terms or conditions. ASU 2017-09 will be effective 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 2017-09 on our consolidated financial statements and will adopt the standard for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2018.

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities . ASU 2017-12 will make more financial and nonfinancial hedging strategies eligible for hedge accounting. It also amends the presentation and disclosure requirements and changes how companies assess hedge effectiveness. It is intended to more closely align hedge accounting with companies’ risk management strategies, simplify the application of hedge accounting, and increase transparency as to the scope and results of hedging programs. ASU 2017-12 will be effective in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. We are in the process of evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2017-12 on our consolidated financial statements.

Note 3. Agreements and Transactions with Related Parties

Advisory Agreements with the Managed Programs

We have advisory agreements with each of the Managed Programs, pursuant to which we earn fees and are entitled to receive reimbursement for fund management expenses, as well as cash distributions. The advisory agreements also entitled us to fees for serving as the dealer manager of the offerings of the Managed Programs. However, as previously noted, as of June 30, 2017, we ceased all active non-traded retail fundraising activities. We facilitated the orderly processing of sales of shares of the common stock and limited partnership units of CWI 2 and CESH I, respectively, through July 31, 2017 and closed their respective offerings on that date, and as a result, stopped receiving dealer manager fees after that date. In addition, in August 2017, we resigned as the advisor to CCIF, and our advisory agreement with CCIF was terminated, effective as of September 11, 2017, and as a result, we no longer earned any fees from CCIF after that date. We currently expect to continue to manage all existing Managed Programs through the end of their respective natural life cycles ( Note 1 ). The advisory agreements with each of the Managed REITs have terms of one year, may be renewed for successive one-year periods, and are currently scheduled to expire on December 31, 2017, unless otherwise renewed. The advisory agreement with CESH I, which commenced June 3, 2016, will continue until terminated pursuant to its terms.

Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursements

Under the expense support and conditional reimbursement agreement we had with each of the CCIF Feeder Funds, we and the CCIF subadvisor were obligated to reimburse the CCIF Feeder Funds 50% of the excess of the cumulative distributions paid to the CCIF Feeder Funds’ shareholders over the available operating funds on a monthly basis. Following any month in which the available operating funds exceeded the cumulative distributions paid to its shareholders, the excess operating funds were used to reimburse us and the CCIF subadvisor for any expense payment we made within three years prior to the last business day of such month that had not been previously reimbursed by the CCIF Feeder Fund, up to the lesser of (i) 1.75% of each CCIF Feeder Fund’s average net assets or (ii) the percentage of each CCIF Feeder Fund’s average net assets attributable to its common shares represented by other operating expenses during the fiscal year in which such expense support payment from us and the CCIF’s subadvisor was made, provided that the effective rate of distributions per share at the time of reimbursement was not less than such rate at the time of expense payment. The expense support and conditional reimbursement agreement we had with each of the CCIF Feeder Funds was terminated in connection with our resignation as the advisor to CCIF effective as of September 11, 2017.

Distributions of Available Cash

We are entitled to receive distributions of up to 10% of the Available Cash (as defined in the respective advisory agreements) from the operating partnerships of each of the Managed REITs, as described in their respective operating partnership agreements, payable quarterly in arrears. We are required to pay 20% and 25% of such distributions to the subadvisors of CWI 1 and CWI 2, respectively.

Back-End Fees and Interests in the Managed Programs

Under our advisory agreements with certain of the Managed Programs, we may also receive compensation in connection with providing liquidity events for their stockholders. For the Managed REITs, the timing and form of such liquidity events are at the discretion of each REIT’s board of directors, and in certain instances, we have waived these fees in connection with the liquidity events of prior programs that we managed. Therefore, there can be no assurance as to whether or when any of these back-end fees or interests will be realized.

Other Transactions with Affiliates

Loans to Affiliates

From time to time, our Board has approved the making of secured and unsecured loans from us to certain of the Managed Programs, at our sole discretion, with each loan at a rate equal to the rate at which we are able to borrow funds under our senior credit facility ( Note 10 ), generally for the purpose of facilitating acquisitions or for working capital purposes.

During the nine months ended September 30, 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 12.0% to $1.1806 from $1.0541 . As a result of this fluctuation in foreign exchange rates, the carrying value of our Land, buildings and improvements subject to operating leases increased by $160.5 million from December 31, 2016 to September 30, 2017 .

Depreciation expense, including the effect of foreign currency translation, on our Land, buildings and improvements subject to operating leases was $36.3 million and $35.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 , respectively, and $107.5 million and $107.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 , respectively. Accumulated depreciation of real estate is included in Accumulated depreciation and amortization in the consolidated financial statements.

In connection with changes in lease classifications due to extensions of the underlying leases, we reclassified six properties with an aggregate carrying value of $1.6 million from Net investments in direct financing leases to Land, buildings and improvements during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 ( Note 5 ).

Acquisition of Real Estate

On June 27, 2017, we acquired an industrial facility in Chicago, Illinois, which was deemed to be a real estate asset acquisition, at a total cost of $6.0 million , including land of $2.2 million , building of $2.5 million , and an in-place lease intangible asset of $1.3 million ( Note 6 ). We also committed to fund an additional $3.6 million of building improvements at that facility by June 2018.

Real Estate Under Construction

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 , we capitalized real estate under construction totaling $43.5 million , including net accrual activity of $6.8 million , primarily related to construction projects on our properties. As of September 30, 2017 , we had five construction projects in progress, and as of December 31, 2016 , we had three construction projects in progress. Aggregate unfunded commitments totaled approximately $109.6 million and $135.2 million as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , respectively.

Dispositions of Properties

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 , we sold nine properties and a parcel of vacant land, excluding the sale of one property that was classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2016 , and transferred ownership of two properties to the related mortgage lender ( Note 15 ). As a result, the carrying value of our Land, buildings and improvements subject to operating leases decreased by $72.4 million from December 31, 2016 to September 30, 2017 .

Future Dispositions of Properties

As of September 30, 2017 , two tenants exercised options to repurchase the properties they are leasing from us in accordance with their lease agreements for an aggregate of $23.1 million (the amount for one repurchase is based on the exchange rate of the euro as of September 30, 2017 ), but there can be no assurance that such repurchases will be completed. At September 30, 2017 , these two properties had an aggregate asset carrying value of $17.5 million .

Land, Buildings and Improvements — Operating Properties

At both September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , Land, buildings and improvements attributable to operating properties consisted of our investments in two hotels, which are summarized as follows (in thousands):

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

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, note 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 $16.8 million and $17.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 , respectively, and $49.3 million and $53.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 , respectively.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 , the U.S. dollar weakened against the euro, resulting in a $38.9 million increase in the carrying value of Net investments in direct financing leases from December 31, 2016 to September 30, 2017 . During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 , we sold an international investment accounted for as a direct financing lease that had a net carrying value of $1.7 million . During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 , we reclassified six properties with a carrying value of $1.6 million from Net investments in direct financing leases to Land, buildings and improvements in connection with changes in lease classifications due to extensions of the underlying leases ( Note 4 ).

Note Receivable

At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , we had a note receivable with an outstanding balance of $10.1 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.

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 December 31, 2016 , we had an allowance for credit losses of $13.3 million on a single direct financing lease investment, including the impact of foreign currency translation. This allowance was established in the fourth quarter of 2015. During the nine months ended September 30, 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 would receive from the tenant. We sold this direct financing lease investment in August 2017, as described above. At both September 30, 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 nine months ended September 30, 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 third 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):

Note 6. Goodwill and Other Intangibles

We have recorded net lease, internal-use software development, and trade name intangibles that are being amortized over periods ranging from three years to 40 years . In addition, we have several ground lease intangibles that are being amortized over periods of up to 99 years . In-place lease and below-market ground lease (as lessee) intangibles, at cost are included in In-place lease and other intangible assets in the consolidated financial statements. Above-market rent intangibles, at cost are included in Above-market rent intangible assets in the consolidated financial statements. Accumulated amortization of in-place lease, below-market ground lease (as lessee), and above-market rent intangibles is included in Accumulated depreciation and amortization in the consolidated financial statements. Internal-use software development and trade name intangibles are included in Other assets, net in the consolidated financial statements. Below-market rent, above-market ground lease (as lessee), and below-market purchase option intangibles are included in Below-market rent and other intangible liabilities, net in the consolidated financial statements.

In connection with our investment activity during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 ( Note 4 ), we recorded an in-place lease intangible asset of $1.3 million , which has an expected life of 21 years .

Goodwill within our Owned Real Estate segment increased by $7.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 due to foreign currency translation adjustments, from $572.3 million as of December 31, 2016 to $579.7 million as of September 30, 2017 . Goodwill within our Investment Management segment was $63.6 million as of September 30, 2017 , unchanged from December 31, 2016 . In connection with our Board’s decision to exit all non-traded retail fundraising activities ( Note 1 ), we performed a test for impairment during the second quarter of 2017 on goodwill recorded in our Investment Management segment, and no impairment was indicated.

Note 7. 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 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.

(a)

In August 2017, we resigned as the advisor to CCIF, effective as of September 11, 2017 ( Note 1 ). As such, we reclassified our investment in CCIF from Equity investments in the Managed Programs and real estate to Other assets, net in our consolidated balance sheets and account for it under the cost method, since we no longer share decision-making responsibilities with the third-party investment partner. Our cost method investment in CCIF had a carrying value of $23.3 million at September 30, 2017 and is included in our Investment Management segment.

Generally, the underlying investments are jointly owned with affiliates. We account for these investments under the equity method of accounting. Operating results of our unconsolidated real estate investments are included in the Owned Real Estate segment.

(d)	The carrying value of this investment is affected by fluctuations in the exchange rate of the yen.

We received aggregate distributions of $12.1 million and $12.4 million from our other unconsolidated real estate investments for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 , respectively. At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , the aggregate unamortized basis differences on our unconsolidated real estate investments were $7.1 million and $6.7 million , respectively.

Note 8. Fair Value Measurements

The fair value of an asset is defined as the exit price, which is the amount that would either be received when an asset is sold or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The guidance establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers are: Level 1, for which quoted market prices for identical instruments are available in active markets, such as money market funds, equity securities, and U.S. Treasury securities; Level 2, for which there are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the instrument, such as certain derivative instruments including interest rate caps, interest rate swaps, 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.

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.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Derivative Liabilities — Our derivative liabilities, which are included in Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities in the consolidated financial statements, are comprised of foreign currency collars and interest rate swaps ( 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.

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 GAAP ( Note 7 ). The fair value of our equity investment in CESH I approximated its carrying value as of September 30, 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 or nine months ended September 30, 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):



		September 30, 2017				December 31, 2016
	Level	Carrying Value		Fair Value		Carrying Value		Fair Value
Unsecured Senior Notes, net ^{(a) (b) (c)}	2	$	2,455,383	$	2,574,990	$	1,807,200	$	1,828,829

__________


(a)	The carrying value of Unsecured Senior Notes, net ( Note 10 ) includes unamortized deferred financing costs of $15.0 million and $12.1 million at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , respectively. The carrying value of Non-recourse mortgages, net includes unamortized deferred financing costs of $1.0 million and $1.3 million at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , respectively.


(b)	The carrying value of Unsecured Senior Notes, net includes unamortized discount of $10.2 million and $7.8 million at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , respectively. The carrying value of Non-recourse mortgages, net includes unamortized discount of $1.4 million and $0.2 million at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , respectively.


(c)	We determined the estimated fair value of the Unsecured Senior Notes 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.

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 September 30, 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 or nine months ended September 30, 2017 .

During the three months ended September 30, 2016 , we recognized impairment charges totaling $14.4 million , including an amount attributable to a noncontrolling interest of $0.6 million , on 18 properties, including a portfolio of 14 properties, in order to reduce the carrying values of the properties to their estimated fair values. The impairment charges recognized on the portfolio of 14 properties were in addition to charges recognized on the portfolio during the six months ended June 30, 2016 (as described below), based on the purchase and sale agreement for the portfolio. The fair value measurements for the properties, which totaled $158.8 million , approximated their estimated selling prices, less estimated costs to sell. We used available information, including third-party broker information and internal discounted cash flow models (Level 3 inputs), in determining the fair value of these properties. The portfolio of 14 properties was sold in October 2016. Of the other four properties, one was sold in December 2016, two were disposed of in January 2017, and one property, which was classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2016, was sold in January 2017.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2016 , we recognized impairment charges totaling $49.9 million , including an amount attributable to a noncontrolling interest of $0.6 million , on 18 properties in order to reduce the carrying values of the properties to their estimated fair values. In addition to the impairment charges of $14.4 million recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2016 , described above, we recognized impairment charges totaling $35.4 million on the portfolio of 14 properties during the six months ended June 30, 2016, in order to reduce the carrying values of the properties to their estimated fair values at that time. The fair value measurements for the properties, which totaled $158.8 million , approximated their estimated selling prices, less estimated costs to sell. We used available information, including third-party broker information and internal discounted cash flow models (Level 3 inputs), in determining the fair value of these properties.

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 Unsecured Senior 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



	W. P. Carey 9/30/2017 10-Q – 31

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

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 (loss) 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 (loss) 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.

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 September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , no cash collateral had been posted nor received for any of our derivative positions.

The following table sets forth certain information regarding our derivative instruments (in thousands):

See below for information on our purposes for entering into derivative instruments and for information on derivative instruments owned by unconsolidated investments, which are excluded from the tables above.

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.

(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 September 30, 2017 , which were designated as cash flow hedges (currency in thousands):

Credit Risk-Related Contingent Features

We measure our credit exposure on a counterparty basis as the net positive aggregate estimated fair value of our derivatives, net of any collateral received. No collateral was received as of September 30, 2017 . At September 30, 2017 , our total credit exposure and the maximum exposure to any single counterparty was $19.9 million and $13.5 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 September 30, 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 $6.5 million and $3.3 million at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , respectively, which included accrued interest and any nonperformance risk adjustments. If we had breached any of these provisions at September 30, 2017 or December 31, 2016 , we could have been required to settle our obligations under these agreements at their aggregate termination value of $6.8 million and $3.3 million , respectively.

Net Investment Hedges

At September 30, 2017 , the €236.3 million borrowed in euro outstanding under our Amended Term Loan was designated as a net investment hedge ( Note 10 ). Additionally, we have had two issuances 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 (loss) as part of the cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment. As a result, the borrowings in euro under our Amended Term Loan, 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 (loss) as part of the cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment.

At September 30, 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 Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility, and a $250.0 million term loan facility, or our Prior Term Loan, 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 Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility to be borrowed in certain currencies other than the U.S. dollar, (ii) swing line loans up to $50.0 million under our Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility, and (iii) the issuance of letters of credit under our Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility in an aggregate amount not to exceed $50.0 million . On January 26, 2017, we exercised our option to extend our Prior Term Loan 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 Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility, a €236.3 million term loan, or our Amended Term Loan, and a $100.0 million delayed draw term loan, or our Delayed Draw Term Loan. The Delayed Draw Term Loan allows for borrowings in U.S. dollars, euros, or British pounds sterling. We refer to our Prior Term Loan, Amended Term Loan, and Delayed Draw Term Loan collectively as the Unsecured Term Loans.

On February 22, 2017, we drew down our Amended Term Loan in full by borrowing €236.3 million (equivalent to $250.0 million ) to repay and terminate our $250.0 million Prior Term Loan. On June 8, 2017, we drew down our Delayed Draw Term Loan in full by borrowing €88.7 million (equivalent to $100.0 million ) to partially pay down the amounts then outstanding under our Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility.

The maturity date of the Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility is February 22, 2021. We have two options to extend the maturity date of the Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility 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

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Term Loan and Delayed Draw Term Loan is February 22, 2022. The Senior Unsecured Credit Facility is being used for working capital needs, for acquisitions, and for other general corporate purposes.

The Credit Agreement also permits (i) a sub-limit for up to $1.0 billion under the Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility 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 Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility, and (iii) a sub-limit for the issuance of letters of credit under the Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility 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 Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility, the Amended Term Loan, or the Delayed Draw Term Loan, or if the Amended Term Loan 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 Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility and Amended Term Loan.

At September 30, 2017 , our Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility had unused capacity of $1.3 billion , excluding amounts reserved for outstanding letters of credit. As of September 30, 2017 , our lenders had issued letters of credit totaling $0.1 million on our behalf in connection with certain contractual obligations, which reduce amounts that may be drawn under our Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility by the same amount. We also incur a facility fee of 0.20% of the total commitment on our Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility and a fee of 0.20% on the unused commitments under our Delayed Draw Term Loan prior to the draw or termination of such commitments.

Interest on the Unsecured Senior Notes is payable annually in arrears for our euro-denominated notes and semi-annually for U.S. dollar-denominated notes. The Unsecured Senior 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 $15.0 million and $12.1 million , and unamortized discount totaling $10.2 million and $7.8 million , at September 30, 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 the unsecured revolving credit facility that we had in place at that time. In connection with the offering of the 2.25% Senior Notes in January 2017, we incurred financing costs totaling $4.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 , which are included in Unsecured Senior 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 Unsecured Senior 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 September 30, 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 Mortgages

At September 30, 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 December 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 $90.3 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



	W. P. Carey 9/30/2017 10-Q – 38

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

interest rate for these mortgage loans on the date of repayment was 5.4% . During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 , we repaid additional loans at maturity with an aggregate principal balance of approximately $19.3 million .

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 , we prepaid non-recourse mortgage loans totaling $157.4 million , including $38.4 million encumbering properties that were disposed of during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 ( Note 15 ). Amounts are based on the exchange rate of the related foreign currency as of the date of repayment, as applicable. The weighted-average interest rate for these mortgage loans on their respective dates of prepayment was 5.5% . In connection with these payments, we recognized a gain on extinguishment of debt of $0.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 , which was included in Other income and (expenses) in the consolidated financial statements.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Impact

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 , the U.S. dollar weakened against the euro, resulting in an aggregate increase of $204.7 million in the aggregate carrying values of our Non-recourse mortgages, net, Senior Unsecured Credit Facility, and Unsecured Senior Notes, net from December 31, 2016 to September 30, 2017 .

Note 11. Commitments and Contingencies

At September 30, 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

Expenses Recorded During 2017

On June 15, 2017, our Board approved a plan to exit all non-traded retail fundraising activities carried out by our wholly-owned broker-dealer subsidiary, Carey Financial, as of June 30, 2017 ( Note 1 ). As a result, we incurred non-recurring charges to exit our fundraising activities, consisting primarily of severance costs. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 , we recorded $8.2 million of severance and benefits and $0.9 million of other related costs, which are all included in Restructuring and other compensation in the consolidated financial statements.



	W. P. Carey 9/30/2017 10-Q – 39

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Expenses Recorded During 2016

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 nine months ended September 30, 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 of these award terms, we recorded incremental stock-based compensation expense of $2.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 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 nine months ended September 30, 2016 , we recorded $8.2 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 September 30, 2017 , the accrued liability for these severance obligations recorded during 2016 and 2017 was $4.8 million , which 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

In June 2017, our shareholders approved the 2017 Share Incentive Plan, which replaced our predecessor plans for employees, the 2009 Share Incentive Plan, and for non-employee directors, the 2009 Non-Employee Directors’ Incentive Plan. No further awards will be granted under those predecessor plans, which are more fully described in the 2016 Annual Report. The 2017 Share Incentive Plan authorizes the issuance of up to 4,000,000 shares of our common stock, reduced by the number of shares (279,728) that were subject to awards granted under the 2009 Share Incentive Plan and the 2009 Non-Employee Directors’ Incentive Plan after December 31, 2016 and before the effective date of the 2017 Share Incentive Plan, which was June 15, 2017. The 2017 Share Incentive Plan provides for the grant of various stock- and cash-based awards, including (i) share options, (ii) RSUs, (iii) PSUs, (iv) RSAs, and (v) dividend equivalent rights.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 , we recorded stock-based compensation expense of $14.6 million and $18.2 million , respectively, of which $3.2 million was included in Restructuring and other compensation for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 ( Note 12 ).

Restricted and Conditional Awards

Nonvested RSAs, RSUs, and PSUs at September 30, 2017 and changes during the nine months ended September 30, 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 September 30, 2017 ^(d)	338,815		$	61.45	268,553		$	75.18

__________

(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 nine months ended September 30, 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 nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $20.5 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 September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , we had an obligation to issue 1,135,563 and 1,217,274 shares, respectively, of our common stock underlying such deferred awards, which is recorded within Total stockholders’ equity as a Deferred compensation obligation of $46.7 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 September 30, 2017 , total unrecognized compensation expense related to these awards was approximately $21.4 million , with an aggregate weighted-average remaining term of 1.9 years.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 , 2,475 and 134,709 stock options, respectively, were exercised with an aggregate intrinsic value of less than $0.1 million and $4.0 million , respectively. At September 30, 2017 , there were 10,324 stock options outstanding, all of which were exercisable and, if not exercised, will expire on December 31, 2017.

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. Certain of 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 participating 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 September 30,						Nine Months Ended September 30,

Weighted-average shares outstanding — diluted	108,143,694			107,468,029			107,947,490			106,853,174

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 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 from time to time, up to an aggregate gross sales price of $400.0 million , through a continuous “at-the-market,” or ATM, offering program with a consortium of banks acting 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 and nine months ended September 30, 2017 , we issued 15,500 and 345,253 shares, respectively, of our common stock under the current ATM program at a weighted-average price of $67.05 and $67.78 per share, respectively, for net proceeds of $0.9 million and $22.8 million , respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 , we issued 968,535 and 1,249,836 shares, respectively, of our common stock under the prior ATM program at a weighted-average price of $68.54 and $68.52 per share, respectively, for net proceeds of $65.2 million and $84.1 million , respectively. As of September 30, 2017 , $376.6 million remained available for issuance under our current ATM program.

Acquisition of Noncontrolling Interest

On May 24, 2017, we acquired the remaining 25% interest in an international jointly owned investment (which we already consolidated) from the noncontrolling interest holders for €2 , bringing our ownership interest to 100% . No gain or loss was recognized on the transaction. We recorded an adjustment of approximately $1.8 million to Additional paid-in capital in our consolidated statement of equity for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 related to the difference between the consideration transferred and the carrying value of the noncontrolling interest related to this investment. The property owned by the investment was sold on May 26, 2017 and we recognized a gain on sale of less than $0.1 million ( Note 15 ).

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest

We account for the noncontrolling interest in our subsidiary, W. P. Carey International, LLC, or 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



	W. P. Carey 9/30/2017 10-Q – 42

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

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.

During the third quarter of 2017 , we declared a quarterly distribution of $1.0050 per share, which was paid on October 16, 2017 to stockholders of record on October 2, 2017, in the aggregate amount of $107.4 million .

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 , we declared distributions totaling $3.00 per share in the aggregate amount of $320.3 million .

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 and nine months ended September 30, 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

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

through foreign subsidiaries and are subject to income taxes on our pre-tax income earned from properties in such countries. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include an interim tax provision for our TRSs and foreign subsidiaries, as necessary, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 . Current income tax expense was $3.0 million and $4.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 , respectively, and $11.1 million and $14.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 , respectively.

During the second quarter of 2016, we identified and recorded out-of-period adjustments related to adjustments to prior period income tax returns. This adjustment is reflected as a $3.0 million reduction of our Benefit from income taxes in the consolidated statements of income for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 ( Note 2 ), and is included in current income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 .

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 September 30, 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 in which the tax basis of such assets was not stepped up to fair value for income tax purposes. (Provision for) benefit from income taxes included deferred income tax benefits of $1.2 million and $1.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 , respectively, and $8.2 million and $19.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 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.

2017 — During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 , we sold five properties, and 11 properties and a parcel of vacant land, respectively, for total proceeds of $58.7 million and $102.5 million , respectively, net of selling costs, and recognized a net gain on these sales of $19.3 million and $22.7 million , respectively. In connection with the sale of a property in Malaysia in August 2017, and in accordance with ASC 830-30-40, Foreign Currency Matters , we reclassified $3.6 million of foreign currency translation losses from Accumulated other comprehensive loss to Gain on sale of real estate, net of tax (as a reduction to Gain on sale of real estate, net of tax), since the sale represented a disposal of our Malaysian investments ( Note 13 ). One of the properties sold during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 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 nine months ended September 30, 2017 , we entered into a contract to sell one international property, which was classified as held for sale as of September 30, 2017 ( Note 4 ).

2016 — During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 , we sold three properties, and ten properties and a parcel of vacant land, respectively, for total proceeds of $192.0 million and $392.6 million , respectively, net of selling costs, and recognized a net gain on these sales of $37.4 million and $39.9 million , respectively, including amounts attributable to noncontrolling interests of $0.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 . In April 2016, we transferred ownership



	W. P. Carey 9/30/2017 10-Q – 45

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

of a vacant international property and the related non-recourse mortgage loan, which had a carrying value of $39.8 million and an outstanding balance of $60.9 million , respectively, on the date of transfer, to the mortgage lender, resulting in a net gain of $16.4 million . In addition, in July 2016, a vacant domestic property with an asset carrying value of $13.7 million , which was encumbered by a $24.3 million non-recourse mortgage loan (net of $2.6 million of cash held in escrow that was retained by the mortgage lender), was foreclosed upon by the mortgage lender, resulting in a net gain of $11.6 million .

In connection with those sales that constituted businesses, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 we allocated goodwill totaling $18.0 million and $32.9 million , respectively, 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 nine months ended September 30, 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. In February 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 .

Note 16. Segment Reporting

We evaluate our results from operations through our two major business segments: Owned Real Estate and Investment Management.

As such, beginning with the second quarter of 2017, we include (i) equity in earnings of equity method investments in the Managed Programs and (ii) our equity investments in the Managed Programs in our Investment Management segment. Both (i) earnings from our investment in CCIF and (ii) our investment in CCIF continue to be included in our Investment Management segment.

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 September 30, 2017 , manage a global investment portfolio of 1,381 properties, including 890 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.

On June 15, 2017, our Board approved a plan to exit all non-traded retail fundraising activities carried out by our wholly-owned broker-dealer subsidiary, Carey Financial, effective as of June 30, 2017. We currently expect to continue to manage all existing Managed Programs through the end of their respective natural life cycles ( Note 1 ).

Financial Highlights

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 , we completed the following activities, as further described below and in the consolidated financial statements:


•	We capitalized and completed four construction projects at a cost totaling $59.0 million and acquired one investment for $6.0 million for our Owned Real Estate segment during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 ( Note 4 ).


•	As part of our active capital recycling program, we disposed of 13 properties and a parcel of vacant land from our Owned Real Estate portfolio for total proceeds of $130.6 million , net of selling costs ( Note 15 ).


•	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 Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility maturing in four years with two six-month extension options, a €236.3 million Amended Term Loan maturing in five years, and a $100.0 million Delayed Draw Term Loan also maturing in five years. On that date, we also drew down our Amended Term Loan in full by borrowing €236.3 million (equivalent to $250.0 million) and repaid in full, and terminated, our $250.0 million Prior Term Loan. On June 8, 2017, we drew down our Delayed Draw Term Loan in full by borrowing €88.7 million (equivalent to $100.0 million) ( Note 10 ).


•	We reduced our mortgage debt outstanding by repaying at maturity or prepaying $417.9 million of non-recourse mortgage loans with a weighted-average interest rate of 5.4% during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 ( Note 10 ).


•	In connection with our Board’s decision to exit all non-traded retail fundraising activities as of June 30, 2017, we recorded $1.4 million and $9.1 million of restructuring expenses during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 , respectively, primarily related to severance costs ( Note 1 , Note 12 ).


•	During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 , we issued 15,500 and 345,253 shares, respectively, of our common stock under the current ATM program at a weighted-average price of $67.05 and $67.78 per share, respectively, for net proceeds of $0.9 million and $22.8 million , respectively.

•

We structured new investments on behalf of the Managed Programs totaling $1.1 billion during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 , increasing our assets under management to $13.2 billion as of September 30, 2017 . In August 2017, we resigned as the advisor to CCIF, and our advisory agreement with CCIF was terminated, effective as of September 11, 2017. CCIF was included in the Managed Programs prior to our resignation as its advisor ( Note 1 ).


•	We declared cash distributions totaling $3.00 per share in the aggregate amount of $320.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 , comprised of three quarterly dividends per share declared of $0.9950 , $1.0000 , and $1.0050 .

__________

(a)

As a result of our Board’s decision to exit all non-traded retail fundraising activities as of June 30, 2017, we have revised how we view and present a component of our two reportable segments. As such, beginning with the second quarter of 2017, we include equity in earnings of equity method investments in the Managed Programs in our Investment Management segment ( Note 1 ). Earnings from our investment in CCIF continue to be included in our Investment Management segment. Results of operations for prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.


(b)	We consider Adjusted funds from operations, or AFFO, a supplemental measure that is not defined by GAAP, referred to as a non-GAAP measure, to be an important measure in the evaluation of our operating performance. See Supplemental Financial Measures below for our definition of this non-GAAP measure and a reconciliation to its most directly comparable GAAP measure.

Consolidated Results

Revenues and Net Income Attributable to W. P. Carey

Total revenues decreased for the three months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016 , due to decreases within both our Investment Management and Owned Real Estate segments. Investment Management revenue decreased primarily as a result of a decrease in structuring revenue and a decrease in dealer manager fees due to our exit from all non-traded retail fundraising activities ( Note 1 ), partially offset by an increase in asset management revenue as a result of growth in assets under management for the Managed Programs. Owned Real Estate revenue declined primarily due to a decrease in lease revenues due to dispositions of properties since July 1, 2016 ( Note 15 ).

Total revenues decreased for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016 , due to decreases within our Owned Real Estate segment, partially offset by increases within our Investment Management segment. Owned Real Estate revenue declined primarily due to lease termination income recognized during the prior year period related to a domestic property sold in February 2016, as well as a decrease in lease revenues due to dispositions of properties since January 1, 2016 ( Note 15 ), partially offset by an increase in lease revenues due to property acquisitions since January 1, 2016. Investment Management revenue increased primarily due to an increase in asset management revenue as a result of growth in assets under management for the Managed Programs, partially offset by a decrease in structuring revenue and a decrease in dealer manager fees due to our exit from all non-traded retail fundraising activities ( Note 1 ).

Net income attributable to W. P. Carey decreased for the three months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016 , primarily due to the lower aggregate gain on sale of real estate recognized during the current year period ( Note 15 ), as well as decreases in Owned Real Estate and Investment Management revenues. The decrease in Net income attributable to W. P. Carey was partially offset by lower interest expense during the current year period as compared to the same period in 2016. In addition, during the prior year period, we recognized impairment charges on certain international properties ( Note 8 ), as well as a related offsetting deferred tax benefit on those impairment charges, which reduced Net income attributable to W. P. Carey for the period.

Net income attributable to W. P. Carey decreased for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016 , primarily due to the lower aggregate gain on sale of real estate recognized during the current year period ( Note 15 ), as well as a decrease in Owned Real Estate revenues. During the current year period, we also recognized non-recurring restructuring expenses, primarily comprised of severance costs, related to our exit from all non-traded retail fundraising activities ( Note 12 ). The decrease in Net income attributable to W. P. Carey was partially offset by lower interest expense and general and administrative expenses during the current year period as compared to the same period in 2016. In addition, during the prior year period, we recognized impairment charges on certain international properties ( Note 8 ), as well as a related offsetting deferred tax benefit on those impairment charges, which reduced Net income attributable to W. P. Carey for the period. During the prior year period, we recognized one-time restructuring and other compensation expenses, consisting primarily of severance costs, related to the RIF ( Note 12 ), as well as an allowance for credit losses on a direct financing lease ( Note 5 ).

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016 , primarily due to an increase in cash flow generated from properties acquired during 2016 and 2017, a decrease in interest expense, and lower general and administrative expenses in the current year period. These increases were partially offset by lease termination income received in connection with the sale of a property during the prior year period and a decrease in cash flow as a result of property dispositions during 2016 and 2017.

AFFO

AFFO increased for the three months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016 , primarily due to lower interest expense, higher asset management revenue, and higher earnings from our equity interests in the Managed Programs, partially offset by lower structuring revenues, higher general and administrative expenses, and lower lease revenues.

In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 , we acquired an industrial facility in Chicago, Illinois for $6.0 million and committed to fund an additional $3.6 million of building improvements at that facility by June 2018.

Dispositions

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 non-recourse 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 nine months ended September 30, 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.

•

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 $90.3 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% .

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. Multiplying each of the jointly owned investments’ financial statement line items by our percentage ownership and adding those amounts to or subtracting those amounts from our totals, as applicable, may not accurately depict the legal and economic implications of holding an ownership interest of less than 100% in such jointly owned investments.

ABR — ABR represents contractual minimum annualized base rent for our net-leased properties and reflects exchange rates as of September 30, 2017 . 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 us through 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.

Lease Composition and Leasing Activities

As of September 30, 2017 , 68.9% of our net leases, based on ABR, have rent increase adjustments based on CPI or similar indices and 26.2% of our net leases, based on ABR, have fixed rent increases. These leases comprise 95.1% of our portfolio. 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 2.5% , 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 periods presented, as applicable.

During the three months ended September 30, 2017 , we entered into one new lease for approximately 3,000 square feet of leased space. The rent for the leased space is $22.50 per square foot. In addition, during the three months ended September 30, 2017 , we extended two leases with existing tenants for a total of approximately 0.1 million square feet of leased space. The average new rent for the leased space is $7.19 per square foot, compared to the average former rent of $7.18 per square foot.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 , we entered into five new leases for a total of approximately 0.4 million square feet of leased space. The average rent for the leased space is $14.92 per square foot. We provided tenant improvement allowances for the four new leases totaling $8.8 million . In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 , we extended 22 leases with existing tenants for a total of approximately 2.8 million square feet of leased space. The average new rent for the leased space is $5.27 per square foot, compared to the average former rent of $5.47 per square foot, reflecting current market conditions. We provided tenant improvement allowances on four of these leases totaling $4.0 million .

	W. P. Carey 9/30/2017 10-Q – 65

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 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.

During the three months ended September 30, 2017, certain of our properties were damaged by Hurricane Harvey and Hurricane Irma. As a result, we evaluated such properties to determine if any losses should be recognized. We determined that the damages incurred were immaterial, and as such, no losses have been recorded.

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 808 existing net-leased properties.

For the three months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016 , lease revenues from existing net-leased properties increased by $2.2 million as a result of an increase in the average exchange rate of the U.S. dollar in relation to foreign currencies (primarily the euro) between the periods, $1.3 million related to scheduled rent increases, $1.2 million due to new leases with existing tenants, and $0.8 million related to completed build-to-suit or expansion projects on existing properties. Depreciation and amortization expense from existing net-leased properties increased primarily as a result of an increase in the average exchange rate of the U.S. dollar in relation to foreign currencies (primarily the euro) between the periods.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016 , lease revenues from existing net-leased properties increased by $3.3 million related to scheduled rent increases, $2.8 million due to new leases with existing tenants, and $2.4 million related to completed build-to-suit or expansion projects on existing properties. These increases were partially offset by decreases of $2.2 million as a result of a decrease in the average exchange rate of the U.S. dollar in relation to foreign currencies (primarily the British pound sterling) between the periods, $1.0 million due to lease restructurings, and $1.0 million due to lease expirations.

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 four investments comprised of 67 properties, 51 of which we acquired during the second quarter of 2016, 15 of which we acquired during the fourth quarter of 2016, and one of which we acquired during the second quarter of 2017.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 , property level contribution from recently acquired net-leased properties increased by $2.6 million and $12.2 million , respectively, reflecting the results of operations of our investments completed during 2016 and 2017.

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, impairment charges, allowances for credit losses, and gain (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 September 30, 2017 , we disposed of five properties. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 , we disposed of 13 properties, one of which was held for sale at December 31, 2016 , and a parcel of vacant land. At September 30, 2017 , we had one property classified as held for sale ( Note 4 ). During the year ended December 31, 2016, we disposed of 33 properties and a parcel of vacant land.



	W. P. Carey 9/30/2017 10-Q – 66

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 nine months ended September 30, 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. In February 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 during the nine months ended September 30, 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 during that period, which is included in depreciation and amortization expense.

In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 , we recorded an allowance for credit losses of $7.1 million on an international direct financing lease investment that was sold in August 2017, which was included in property expenses, due to a decline in the estimated amount of future payments we would receive from the tenant ( Note 5 ).

Operating Properties

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

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same periods in 2016 , property expenses for operating properties increased due to increases in costs related to room and food services, property management, and marketing.

Other Revenues and Expenses

Lease Termination Income and Other

2017 — For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 , lease termination income and other was $4.2 million . We received proceeds from a bankruptcy settlement claim with a former tenant during both the second and third quarters of 2017 and recognized income during the first, second, and third quarters of 2017 related to a lease termination that occurred during the first quarter of 2017. Lease termination income and other also consists of earnings from our note receivable ( Note 5 ).

2016 — For the nine months ended September 30, 2016 , lease termination income and other was $34.6 million , primarily consisting of the $32.2 million of lease termination income related to a domestic property that was sold in February 2016, as discussed above ( Note 15 ).

General and Administrative

Beginning with the third quarter of 2017, personnel and rent expenses included within general and administrative expenses that are recorded by our Owned Real Estate segment will be allocated based on time incurred by our personnel for the Owned Real Estate and Investment Management segments. All other overhead costs are charged to our Investment Management segment based on the trailing 12-month reported revenues of the Managed Programs and us.

As discussed in Note 3 , certain personnel costs and overhead costs are charged to the CPA ^® REITs based on the trailing 12-month reported revenues of the Managed Programs and us. We allocate certain personnel and overhead costs to the CWI REITs based on the time incurred by our personnel. We allocate certain personnel costs based on the time incurred by our personnel to CESH I and, prior to our resignation as the advisor to CCIF in the third quarter of 2017, to the Managed BDCs.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same periods in 2016 , general and administrative expenses in our Owned Real Estate segment, which excludes restructuring and other compensation expenses as described below, increased by $3.8 million and $1.7 million , respectively, primarily due to the change in methodology for allocation of expenses between our Owned Real Estate and Investment Management segments ( Note 1 ).



	W. P. Carey 9/30/2017 10-Q – 67

Stock-based Compensation Expense

Beginning with the third quarter of 2017, stock-based compensation expense is being allocated to our Owned Real Estate and Investment Management segments based on time incurred by our personnel for those segments.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 , stock-based compensation expense allocated to our Owned Real Estate segment was $1.9 million and $4.7 million , respectively, substantially unchanged from the prior year periods.

Other Expenses

For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016 , other expenses decreased by $1.8 million , primarily due to advisory expenses and professional fees incurred during the prior year period within our Owned Real Estate segment in connection with the formal strategic review that we completed in May 2016.

Impairment Charges

Where the undiscounted cash flows for an asset are less than the asset’s carrying value when considering and evaluating the various alternative courses of action that may occur, we recognize an impairment charge to reduce the carrying value of the asset to its estimated fair value. Further, when we classify an asset as held for sale, we carry the asset at the lower of its current carrying value or its fair value, less estimated cost to sell. Our impairment charges are more fully described in Note 8 .

During the three months ended September 30, 2016 , we recognized impairment charges totaling $14.4 million , including an amount attributable to a noncontrolling interest of $0.6 million, on 18 properties, including a portfolio of 14 properties, in order to reduce the carrying values of the properties to their estimated fair values. The impairment charges recognized on the portfolio of 14 properties were in addition to charges recognized on the portfolio during the six months ended June 30, 2016 (as described below), based on the purchase and sale agreement for the portfolio. The fair value measurements for the properties approximated their estimated selling prices, less estimated costs to sell. The portfolio of 14 properties was sold in October 2016. Of the other four properties, one was sold in December 2016, two were disposed of in January 2017, and one property, which was classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2016, was sold in January 2017.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2016 , we recognized impairment charges totaling $49.9 million , including an amount attributable to a noncontrolling interest of $0.6 million, on 18 properties in order to reduce the carrying values of the properties to their estimated fair values. In addition to the impairment charges of $14.4 million recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2016, described above, we recognized impairment charges totaling $35.4 million on the portfolio of 14 properties during the six months ended June 30, 2016, in order to reduce the carrying values of the properties to their estimated fair values at that time. The fair value measurements for the properties approximated their estimated selling prices, less estimated costs to sell.

Restructuring and Other Compensation

For the nine months ended September 30, 2016 , we recorded total restructuring and other compensation expenses of $11.9 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 $6.8 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 and nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same periods in 2016 , interest expense decreased by $3.2 million and $14.1 million , respectively, primarily due to an overall decrease in our weighted-average interest rate, as well as an overall decrease in our average outstanding debt balances. Our weighted-average interest rate was 3.5% and 3.8% during the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 , respectively, and 3.6% and 3.9% during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 , respectively. Our average outstanding debt balance was $4.3 billion and $4.5 billion during the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 , respectively, and $4.3 billion and $4.6 billion during the nine months ended September 30, 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 ).

Other Income and (Expenses)

Other income and (expenses) primarily consists of gains and losses on foreign currency transactions, derivative instruments, and extinguishment of debt. Gains and losses on foreign currency transactions are recognized on the remeasurement of certain of our euro-denominated unsecured debt instruments that are not designated as net investment hedges. We make certain foreign currency-denominated 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 September 30, 2017 , net other expenses were $4.9 million . During the period, we recognized net realized and unrealized losses of $7.0 million on foreign currency transactions as a result of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and a net loss on extinguishment of debt totaling $1.6 million primarily related to the repayment of a non-recourse mortgage loan encumbering a domestic property that was sold in July 2017 ( Note 15 ). These losses were partially offset by realized gains of $2.3 million related to foreign currency forward contracts and foreign currency collars and interest income of $0.5 million primarily related to our loans to affiliates ( Note 3 ).

For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 , net other expenses were $6.2 million . During the period, we recognized net realized and unrealized losses of $16.4 million on foreign currency transactions as a result of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and unrealized losses of $1.1 million primarily on foreign currency collars prior to their maturities on various dates during the period, as well as on common stock warrants that we own in connection with certain investments. These losses were partially offset by realized gains of $8.6 million related to foreign currency forward contracts and foreign currency collars and interest income of $1.5 million primarily related to our loans to affiliates ( Note 3 ).

2016 — For the three months ended September 30, 2016 , net other income was $3.2 million . During the period, we recognized realized gains of $2.4 million related to foreign currency forward contracts and foreign currency collars and unrealized gains of $0.7 million recognized primarily on interest rate swaps that did not qualify for hedge accounting. In addition, we recognized a gain of $0.7 million in our Owned Real Estate segment on the deconsolidation of an affiliate, CESH I ( Note 2 ). These gains were partially offset by a net loss on extinguishment of debt of $2.1 million primarily related to the payoff of a non-recourse mortgage loan.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2016 , net other income was $7.7 million . During the period, we recognized realized gains of $6.4 million related to foreign currency forward contracts and foreign currency collars, unrealized gains of $3.2 million recognized primarily on interest rate swaps that did not qualify for hedge accounting, and interest income of $0.6 million primarily related to our loans to affiliates ( Note 3 ). In addition, we recognized a gain of $0.7 million in our Owned Real Estate segment on the deconsolidation of CESH I ( Note 2 ). These gains were partially offset by a net loss on extinguishment of debt of $3.9 million primarily related to the payoff of two non-recourse mortgage loans.

(Provision for) Benefit from Income Taxes

For the three months ended September 30, 2017 , as compared to the same period in 2016 , provision for income taxes within our Owned Real Estate segment increased by $1.0 million , primarily due to (i) a decrease of $0.7 million in deferred tax benefits, primarily associated with basis differences on certain foreign properties and (ii) an increase of $0.2 million in current federal, foreign, and state franchise taxes due to higher taxable income on our domestic TRSs and foreign properties.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 , we recognized a provision for income taxes of $6.7 million , compared to a benefit from income taxes of $6.8 million recorded during the same period in 2016 , within our Owned Real Estate segment. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016 , we recorded $19.7 million of deferred tax benefits associated with basis differences on certain foreign properties, primarily resulting from the impairment charges recorded in the period on certain international properties ( Note 8 ). In addition, current federal, foreign, and state franchise taxes decreased by $1.1 million due to decreases in taxable income generated by 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, net of tax that were disposed of during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 ( Note 15 ).

2017 — During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 , we sold five properties, and 11 properties and a parcel of vacant land, respectively, for net proceeds of $58.7 million and $102.5 million , respectively, and recognized a net gain on these sales, net of tax totaling $19.3 million and $22.7 million , respectively. In connection with the sale of a property in Malaysia in August 2017, and in accordance with ASC 830-30-40, Foreign Currency Matters, we reclassified $3.6 million of foreign currency translation losses from Accumulated other comprehensive loss to Gain on sale of real estate, net of tax (as a reduction to Gain on sale of real estate, net of tax), since the sale represented a disposal of our Malaysian investments ( Note 13 ). One of the properties sold during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 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 and nine months ended September 30, 2016 , we sold three properties, and ten properties and a parcel of vacant land, respectively, for net proceeds of $192.0 million and $392.6 million, respectively, and recognized a net gain on these sales, net of tax totaling $37.4 million and $39.9 million, respectively, including amounts attributable to noncontrolling interests of $0.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. In addition, in April 2016, we transferred ownership of a vacant international property and the related non-recourse mortgage loan, which had a carrying value of $39.8 million and an outstanding balance of $60.9 million, respectively, on the date of transfer, to the mortgage lender, resulting in a net gain of $16.4 million. Also, in July 2016, a vacant domestic property with an asset carrying value of $13.7 million , which was encumbered by a $24.3 million mortgage loan (net of $2.6 million of cash held in escrow that was retained by the mortgage lender), was foreclosed upon by the mortgage lender, resulting in a net gain of $11.6 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, CCIF (through September 10, 2017), and CESH I (since June 3, 2016). On June 15, 2017, our Board approved a plan to exit all non-traded retail fundraising activities carried out by our wholly-owned broker-dealer subsidiary, Carey Financial, as of June 30, 2017. We currently expect to continue to manage all existing Managed Programs through the end of their respective natural life cycles ( Note 1 ). In August 2017, we resigned as the advisor to CCIF, and our advisory agreement with CCIF was terminated, effective as of September 11, 2017. CCIF was included in the Managed Programs prior to our resignation as its advisor ( Note 1 ).

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 CESH I based on its gross assets at fair value. We also earned asset management revenue from CCIF based on the average of its gross assets at fair value prior to our resignation as the advisor to CCIF in the third quarter of 2017. 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; and (iii) increases or decreases in the appraised value of the real estate-related and lodging-related assets in the investment portfolios of the Managed Programs. Prior to our resignation as the advisor to CCIF in the third quarter of 2017, asset management revenue also increased or decreased depending on increases or decreases in the fair value of CCIF’s investment portfolio. For 2017, we receive asset management fees from the Managed REITs in shares of their common stock and from CESH I in cash. Prior to our resignation as the advisor to CCIF in the third quarter of 2017, we received asset management fees from CCIF in cash.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same periods in 2016 , asset management revenue increased by $2.0 million and $7.7 million , respectively, as a result of the growth in assets under management due to investment volume after September 30, 2016 . Asset management revenue increased by $0.9 million and $3.2 million , respectively, from CWI 2, $0.5 million and $3.1 million , respectively, from CCIF, $0.4 million and $1.0 million , respectively, from CPA ^® :18 – Global, $0.3 million and $0.7 million , respectively, from CESH I, and less than $0.1 million and $0.2 million , respectively, from CWI 1. These increases were partially offset by decreases of $0.1 million and $0.4 million , respectively, 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.



	W. P. Carey 9/30/2017 10-Q – 72

Structuring Revenue

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

For the three months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016 , structuring revenue decreased by $2.5 million . Structuring revenue from CWI 2 and CPA ^® :17 – Global decreased by $3.6 million and $1.1 million , respectively, as a result of lower investment and debt placement volume during the current year period. Structuring revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2017 also includes a $2.6 million adjustment related to a development deal for one of the Managed Programs, in accordance with ASC 605, Revenue Recognition . These decreases were partially offset by an increase of $3.5 million in structuring revenue from CWI 1 and $1.1 million of structuring revenue recognized during the current year period from CESH I.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016 , structuring revenue decreased by $3.0 million . Structuring revenue from CWI 2 and CPA ^® :18 – Global decreased by $5.4 million and $4.2 million , respectively, as a result of lower investment and debt placement volume during the current year period. Structuring revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 also includes a $2.6 million adjustment related to a development deal for one of the Managed Programs, in accordance with ASC 605, Revenue Recognition . These decreases were partially offset by $5.5 million of structuring revenue recognized during the current year period from CESH I and increases of $3.1 million and $0.7 million in structuring revenue from CPA ^® :17 – Global and CWI 1, respectively.

Reimbursable Costs from Affiliates

Reimbursable costs from affiliates represent costs incurred by us on behalf of the Managed Programs. During their respective offering periods, these costs consisted primarily of broker-dealer commissions, distribution and shareholder servicing fees, and marketing and personnel costs, which were reimbursed by the Managed Programs and were reflected as a component of both revenues and expenses. As a result of our exit from all non-traded retail fundraising activities, we will no longer incur offering-related expenses, including broker-dealer commissions, distribution and shareholder servicing fees, and marketing costs, on behalf of the Managed Programs.

For the three months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016 , reimbursable costs from affiliates decreased by $8.3 million , primarily due to a decrease of $5.2 million of distribution and shareholder servicing fees and commissions paid to broker-dealers related to the sale of the CCIF Feeder Funds’ shares, $2.0 million of commissions paid to broker-dealers related to CESH I’s private placement, and $1.4 million in distribution and shareholder servicing fees and commissions paid to broker-dealers related to CWI 2’s initial public offering, in each case due to our exit from all non-traded retail fundraising during the current year period, as described above. These decreases were partially offset by an increase of $0.4 million in overhead reimbursed to us by the Managed Programs.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016 , reimbursable costs from affiliates decreased by $1.0 million , primarily due to a decrease of $16.8 million of distribution and shareholder servicing fees and commissions paid to broker-dealers related to the sale of the CCIF Feeder Funds’ shares. This decrease was partially offset by an increase of $15.2 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 $0.3 million in overhead reimbursed to us by the Managed Programs.

Dealer Manager Fees

As discussed in Note 3 , we earned 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, through March 31, 2017, when CWI 2 suspended its offering in order to determine updated estimated NAVs as of December 31, 2016. As a result, CWI 2 had new offering prices and new dealer manager fees of $0.36 and $0.31 per Class A and Class T Shares, respectively, for its offering through its closing on July 31, 2017. We received 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 received 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 and closed in July 2017.



	W. P. Carey 9/30/2017 10-Q – 73

We re-allowed a portion of the dealer manager fees to selected dealers in the offerings and reflected those amounts as Dealer manager fees and expenses in the consolidated financial statements. As discussed above, on June 15, 2017, our Board approved a plan to exit all non-traded retail fundraising activities as of June 30, 2017, and as a result, we no longer receive dealer manager fees following the completion of those fundraising activities on July 31, 2017.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same periods in 2016 , dealer manager fees decreased due to our exit from all non-traded retail fundraising activities.

Other Advisory Revenue

For the three months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016 , other advisory revenue decreased by $0.4 million , primarily due to the completion of CESH I fundraising in July 2017 ( Note 2 ).

For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016 , other advisory revenue increased by $0.4 million , primarily due to the limited partnership units of CESH I received in connection with CESH I’s private placement, which commenced in July 2016 and closed in July 2017 ( Note 2 ).

General and Administrative

Beginning with the third quarter of 2017, personnel and rent expenses included within general and administrative expenses that are recorded by our Investment Management segment will be allocated based on time incurred by our personnel for the Owned Real Estate and Investment Management segments. All other overhead costs are charged to our Owned Real Estate segment based on the trailing 12-month reported revenues of the Managed Programs and us.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same periods in 2016 , general and administrative expenses in our Investment Management segment, which excludes restructuring and other compensation expenses as described below, decreased by $2.3 million and $6.6 million , respectively, primarily due to an overall decline in compensation expense as a result of the reduction in headcount, including the RIF and the impact of our exit from all active non-traded retail fundraising activities as of June 30, 2017, and other cost savings initiatives implemented during 2016 as well as the change in methodology for allocation of expenses between our Owned Real Estate and Investment Management segments ( Note 1 ).

Subadvisor Fees

As discussed in Note 3 , we earn investment management revenue from CWI 1, CWI 2, and CPA ^® :18 – Global, and, prior to our resignation as advisor, from 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 day-to-day management of the properties, for which we pay 100% of asset management fees paid to us by CPA ^® :18 – Global. Pursuant to the terms of the subadvisory agreement we had with the third-party subadvisor in connection with CCIF (prior to our resignation as the advisor to CCIF in the third quarter of 2017), we paid a subadvisory fee equal to 50% of the asset management fees and organization and offering costs paid to us by CCIF.



	W. P. Carey 9/30/2017 10-Q – 74

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same periods in 2016 , subadvisor fees increased by $0.4 million and $1.6 million , respectively, primarily due to increases of $0.7 million and $0.2 million , respectively, as a result of higher fees earned from CWI 1 and increases of $0.2 million and $1.5 million , respectively, as a result of higher fees earned from CCIF, each of which paid higher asset management fees to us during the current year periods as compared to the prior year periods. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same periods in 2016 , these increases were partially offset by decreases of $0.5 million and $0.2 million , respectively, as a result of lower fees earned from CWI 2 due to lower investment and debt placement volume during the current year periods.

Stock-based Compensation Expense

For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016 , stock-based compensation expense allocated to our Investment Management segment decreased by $0.7 million primarily due to the reduction in RSUs and PSUs outstanding as a result of a reduction in headcount related to our exit from all non-traded retail fundraising activities as of June 30, 2017 ( Note 12 ).

Restructuring and Other Compensation

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 , we recorded total restructuring expenses of $1.4 million and $9.1 million , respectively, related to our Board’s decision to exit all non-traded retail fundraising activities as of June 30, 2017. These expenses, all of which were allocated to the Investment Management segment, consist primarily of severance costs ( Note 1 , Note 12 ).

For the nine months ended September 30, 2016 , we recorded total restructuring and other compensation expenses of $11.9 million , of which $7.5 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 $6.8 million related to severance, stock-based compensation, and other costs incurred as part of the RIF during that period ( Note 12 ).

Other Expenses

For nine months ended September 30, 2016 , we incurred advisory expenses and professional fees of $2.4 million within our Investment Management segment in connection with the formal strategic review that we completed in May 2016.

Equity in Earnings of Equity Method Investments in the Managed Programs

Equity in earnings of equity method investments in the Managed Programs 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. Equity in earnings of our equity method investment in CCIF fluctuated based on changes in the fair value of investments owned by CCIF. Following our resignation as the advisor to CCIF, effective September 11, 2017, earnings from our cost method investment in CCIF are included in Other income and (expenses) in the consolidated financial statements ( Note 7 ). The following table presents the details of our Equity in earnings of equity method investments in the Managed Programs (in thousands):

__________

(a)

Decreases for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same periods in 2016 were primarily due to decreases of $1.1 million and $3.0 million , respectively, from our investment in shares of common stock of CPA ^® :17 – Global, which recognized significant gains on the sale of real estate during each of the prior year periods. In addition, we recognized equity in earnings of our equity method investment in CCIF of $1.1 million during the three months ended September 30, 2016 . We did not recognize any such earnings during the three months ended September 30, 2017 .

(b)

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 entered into by the Managed REITs during 2017 and 2016.

Other Income and (Expenses)

For both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 , we recognized a gain of $1.2 million in our Investment Management segment on the deconsolidation of CESH I ( Note 2 ).

(Provision for) Benefit from Income Taxes

For the three months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016 , provision for income taxes within our Investment Management segment decreased by $2.4 million , primarily due to the impact of lower pre-tax income recognized by our TRSs and a deferred windfall tax benefit of $0.6 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 ).

For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 , we recorded a benefit from income taxes of $3.8 million , compared to a provision for income taxes of $2.3 million recognized during the same period in 2016 , within our Investment Management segment. We recorded a benefit from income taxes during the current year period primarily due to a deferred windfall tax benefit of $3.6 million 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 ). We recognized a provision for income taxes during the prior year period primarily due to an out-of-period adjustment recorded during the period ( Note 2 ).

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 increased by $4.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016 , primarily due to an increase in cash flow generated from properties acquired during 2016 and 2017, a decrease in interest expense, and lower general and administrative expenses in the current year period. These increases were partially offset by lease termination income received in connection with the sale of a property during the prior year period and a decrease in cash flow as a result of property dispositions during 2016 and 2017.

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

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 , we used $123.5 million to fund short-term loans to the Managed Programs ( Note 3 ), while $229.7 million of such loans made by us in prior periods were repaid during the current year period. We sold 11 properties and a parcel of vacant land for net proceeds of $102.5 million . We used $36.7 million primarily to fund expansions on our existing properties. In addition, we used $10.8 million to invest in capital expenditures for owned real estate and $6.0 million to acquire an investment ( Note 4 ). We also received $6.5 million in distributions from equity investments in the Managed Programs and real estate in excess of cumulative equity income.

Financing Activities — During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 , gross borrowings under our Senior Unsecured Credit Facility were $1.2 billion and repayments were $1.6 billion , which included the impact of the amendment and restatement of our Senior Unsecured Credit Facility in February 2017 ( Note 10 ). We received the equivalent of $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 Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility 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 $12.7 million . We also made scheduled and prepaid non-recourse mortgage loan principal payments of $303.5 million and $157.4 million , respectively. Additionally, we paid distributions to stockholders totaling $322.4 million related to the fourth quarter of 2016, the first quarter of 2017, and the second quarter of 2017; and also paid distributions of $16.9 million to affiliates that hold noncontrolling interests in various entities with us. We received contributions from noncontrolling interests totaling $90.5 million , primarily from an affiliate in connection with the repayment at maturity of mortgage loans encumbering the Hellweg 2 Portfolio ( Note 10 ). In addition, we received $22.8 million in net proceeds from the issuance of shares under our ATM program ( Note 13 ).

(a)	Aggregate debt balance includes unamortized deferred financing costs totaling $16.2 million and $13.4 million as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , respectively, and unamortized discount totaling $12.9 million and $8.0 million as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , respectively.


(b)	The impact of our derivative instruments is reflected in the weighted-average interest rates.

Cash Resources

At September 30, 2017 , our cash resources consisted of the following:


•	cash and cash equivalents totaling $169.8 million . Of this amount, $84.3 million , at then-current exchange rates, was held in foreign subsidiaries, and we could be subject to restrictions or significant costs should we decide to repatriate these amounts;


•	our Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility, with unused capacity of $1.3 billion , excluding amounts reserved for outstanding letters of credit; and


•	unleveraged properties that had an aggregate asset carrying value of $4.4 billion at September 30, 2017 , although there can be no assurance that we would be able to obtain financing for these properties.

We also access the capital markets when necessary through additional debt and equity offerings, such as the €500.0 million of 2.25% Senior Notes that we issued in January 2017 ( Note 10 ) and our ATM program. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 , we issued 15,500 and 345,253 shares, respectively, of our common stock under the current ATM program at a weighted-average price of $67.05 and $67.78 per share, respectively, for net proceeds of $0.9 million and $22.8 million , respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 , we issued 968,535 and 1,249,836 shares, respectively, of our common stock under the prior ATM program at a weighted-average price of $68.54 and $68.52 per share,



	W. P. Carey 9/30/2017 10-Q – 78

respectively, for net proceeds of $65.2 million and $84.1 million , respectively. As of September 30, 2017 , $376.6 million remained available for issuance under our current ATM program ( Note 13 ).

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):



	September 30, 2017				December 31, 2016
	Outstanding Balance		Maximum Available		Outstanding Balance		Maximum Available
Unsecured Term Loans, net ^(a)	$	383,695	$	383,695	$	250,000	$	250,000
Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility	224,213		1,500,000		676,715		1,500,000

__________


(a)	Outstanding balance excludes unamortized discount of $1.3 million at September 30, 2017 . Outstanding balance also excludes unamortized deferred financing costs of $0.2 million and less than $0.1 million at September 30, 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 Unsecured Senior 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 Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility, issuances of shares through our ATM program, 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 Unsecured Revolving Credit 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.

Excludes unamortized deferred financing costs totaling $16.2 million , the unamortized discount on the Unsecured Senior Notes of $10.2 million in aggregate, the unamortized discount on the Unsecured Term Loans of $1.3 million , and the unamortized fair market value adjustment of $1.4 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 Unsecured Senior Notes are scheduled to mature from 2023 through 2026.


(c)	Our Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility is scheduled to mature on February 22, 2021 unless otherwise extended pursuant to its terms. Our Unsecured Term Loans are scheduled to mature on February 22, 2022.

(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 $11.3 million , based on the allocation percentages as of September 30, 2017 , which we estimate the Managed Programs will reimburse us for in full ( Note 3 ).


(f)	Capital commitments include (i) $109.6 million related to build-to-suit expansions and (ii) $30.1 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 September 30, 2017 , which consisted primarily of the euro. At September 30, 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 9/30/2017 10-Q – 80

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 certain lease termination income, restructuring and other compensation-related expenses resulting from a reduction in headcount and employee severance arrangements, and other expenses (which includes expenses related to the formal strategic review that we completed in May 2016 and accruals for estimated one-time legal settlement expenses). 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 to arrive at AFFO as they are not the primary drivers in our decision making process and excluding these items provides investors a view of our portfolio performance over time and makes it more comparable to other REITs 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.

	W. P. Carey 9/30/2017 10-Q – 84

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 September 30, 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 $1.6 million ( Note 9 ).



	W. P. Carey 9/30/2017 10-Q – 85

At September 30, 2017 , a significant portion (approximately 83.2% ) 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 September 30, 2017 ranged from 2.0% to 7.8% . The contractual annual interest rates on our variable-rate debt at September 30, 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 September 30, 2017 (in thousands):



	2017 (Remainder)		2018		2019		2020		2021		Thereafter		Total		Fair value
Fixed-rate debt ^(a)	$	38,805	$	135,368	$	86,143	$	178,496	$	116,682	$	2,911,666	$	3,467,160	$	3,572,112
Variable-rate debt ^(a)	$	1,979	$	142,795	$	13,241	$	43,051	$	267,322	$	408,374	$	876,762	$	874,357

__________


(a)	Amounts are based on the exchange rate at September 30, 2017 , as applicable.

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 September 30, 2017 would increase or decrease by $7.2 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 September 30, 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 nine months ended September 30, 2017 , we recognized net foreign currency transaction losses (included in Other income and (expenses) in the consolidated financial statements) of $15.9 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 September 30, 2017 increased by 12.0% to $1.1806 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 September 30, 2017 , 4.9% and 24.0% 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



	W. P. Carey 9/30/2017 10-Q – 86

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 $17.0 million at September 30, 2017 ( Note 9 ). 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 Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility and Unsecured Term Loans 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.

Scheduled future minimum rents, exclusive of renewals, under non-cancelable operating leases for our consolidated foreign operations as of September 30, 2017 for the remainder of 2017 , each of the next four calendar years following December 31, 2017 , and thereafter are as follows (in thousands):

Scheduled debt service payments (principal and interest) for our Unsecured Senior Notes, Senior Unsecured Credit Facility, and non-recourse mortgage notes payable for our consolidated foreign operations as of September 30, 2017 for the remainder of 2017 , each of the next four calendar years following December 31, 2017 , and thereafter are as follows (in thousands):

__________


(a)	Amounts are based on the applicable exchange rates at September 30, 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 September 30, 2017 of $2.2 million , excluding the impact of our derivative instruments. Amounts included the equivalent of $590.3 million of 2.0% Senior Notes outstanding maturing in January 2023; the equivalent of $590.3 million of 2.25% Senior Notes outstanding maturing in July 2024; the equivalent of $383.7 million borrowed in euro in aggregate under our Unsecured Term Loans, which are scheduled to mature on February 22, 2022; and the equivalent of $111.2 million borrowed in euro under our Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility, 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 ( 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 September 30, 2017 of $4.1 million , excluding the impact of our derivative instruments.


(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 September 30, 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 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 September 30, 2017 .



	W. P. Carey 9/30/2017 10-Q – 87

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 $130.1 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 Unsecured Revolving Credit 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 Unsecured Term Loans, Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility, 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 nine months ended September 30, 2017 , our consolidated portfolio had the following significant characteristics in excess of 10%, based on the percentage of our consolidated total revenues:


•	68% related to domestic operations; and


•	32% related to international operations.

At September 30, 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:


•	65% related to domestic properties;


•	35% 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


•	18% 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 September 30, 2017 , have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were effective as of September 30, 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.
