NEW YORK, NY -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 02/28/12 --
Investment firm W. P. Carey & Co. LLC (NYSE: WPC) today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and year-ended December 31, 2011.
QUARTERLY AND YEAR-END RESULTS
- Funds from operations -- as adjusted (AFFO) for the fourth quarter of 2011 was $35.2 million or $0.88 per diluted share, compared to $36.3 million or $0.90 per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2010. AFFO for the year ended December 31, 2011 was $188.9 million or $4.71 per diluted share, compared to $130.9 million or $3.27 per diluted share for 2010.
- Cash flow from operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2011 was $80.1 million, compared to $86.4 million for 2010, while adjusted cash flow from operating activities was $98.6 million for 2011, compared to $88.6 million for 2010.
- Total revenues net of reimbursed expenses for the fourth quarter of 2011 were $47.8 million, compared to $65.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2010. Total revenues net of reimbursed expenses for the year ended December 31, 2011 were $271.6 million, compared to $209.8 million in 2010. Reimbursed expenses are excluded from total revenues because they have no impact on net income.
- Net Income for the fourth quarter of 2011 was $9.1 million, compared to $19.8 million for the same period in 2010. For the year ended December 31, 2011, net income was $139.1 million, compared to $74.0 million for 2010. Results from operations in our investment management segment were significantly higher in 2011, primarily due to revenue recognized in connection with the merger between CPA®:14 and CPA®:16 - Global, which was completed in May.
- For the year ended December 31, 2011, we received approximately $34.9 million in cash distributions from our equity ownership in the CPA® REITs.
- Further information concerning AFFO and adjusted cash flow from operating activities -- non-GAAP supplemental performance metrics -- is presented in the accompanying tables and related notes.
PROPOSED MERGER OF W. P. CAREY AND CPA®:15 AND CONVERSION OF W. P. CAREY TO REIT
- On February 21, 2012, we announced that our Board of Directors had approved our conversion to a real estate investment trust ("REIT") and that our Board of Directors and the Board of Directors of our publicly held, non-traded REIT affiliate, Corporate Property Associates 15 Incorporated ("CPA®:15"), had unanimously approved a definitive merger agreement pursuant to which W. P. Carey will acquire CPA®:15 immediately following the REIT conversion. These transactions are subject to requiste shareholder approvals and other closing conditions. If the proposed merger is approved and the other closing conditions are satisfied, we currently expect that the closing will occur by the third quarter of 2012, although there can be no assurance of such timing.
CPA®:17 - GLOBAL ACTIVITY
- CPA®:17 - Global's follow-on offering was declared effective by the SEC in April 2011, and its initial public offering was terminated. We have raised more than $2 billion on behalf of CPA®:17 - Global since beginning fundraising in December 2007. The follow-on offering is for up to an additional $1 billion of CPA®:17 - Global's common stock.
- Investment volume for CPA®:17 - Global in the fourth quarter of 2011 was approximately $133.7 million.
- Fourth quarter transactions included acquisitions of nine self-storage properties totaling $26.0 million, and a $57.0 million construction financing package of three modern big-box retail sites in Croatia for Austrian developer BOP.
- In the first quarter of 2012, we completed a sale-leaseback with Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota, which included the acquisition of eight office facilities totaling approximately 1.1 million square feet.
CAREY WATERMARK INVESTORS ACTIVITY
- From the beginning of its initial public offering through February 24, 2012, our lodging-focused non-traded REIT offering has raised approximately $53 million.
ASSETS UNDER OWNERSHIP AND MANAGEMENT
- W. P. Carey is the advisor to the CPA® REITs and CWI, which had aggregate real estate assets of $9.5 billion and total assets of $9.8 billion as of December 31, 2011.
- As of December 31, 2011, the occupancy rate of W. P. Carey's 13 million square foot owned portfolio was approximately 93%. In addition, for the 106 million square feet owned by the CPA® REITs, the average occupancy rate was approximately 98% at that date.
DISTRIBUTIONS
- The W. P. Carey Board of Directors raised the quarterly cash distribution to $0.563 per share for the fourth quarter of 2011. The distribution -- our 43rd consecutive quarterly increase -- was paid on January 13, 2012 to shareholders of record as of December 31, 2011.
Commenting on the 2011 results, W. P. Carey President and CEO Trevor Bond noted, "With solid improvements in our key metrics, 2011 was a record year, during which we closed on more than $1 billion in transactions, expanded the diversity of our portfolios by geography and industry, and completed more than $645 million in financings and re-financings."
"In light of the proposed REIT conversion and merger with CPA®:15 announced last week, we believe we are entering 2012 with significant opportunities for advancing our overall business strategy of growing assets under ownership and enhancing shareholder value."

the REITs that is now included in our real estate ownership segment
represents our proportionate share of the revenue less expenses of the
properties held by the REITs. This treatment is consistent with that of our
directly-owned properties. Results for the three months ended as well as the
years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 have been adjusted to reflect this
reclassification.
Non-GAAP Financial Disclosure
EBITDA as disclosed represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. We believe that EBITDA is a useful supplemental measure to investors and analysts for assessing the performance of our business segments, although it does not represent net income that is computed in accordance with GAAP, because it removes the impact of our capital structure and asset base from our operating results and because it is helpful when comparing our operating performance to that of companies in our industry without regard to such items, which can vary substantially from company to company. Accordingly, EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income as an indicator of our financial performance. EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Therefore, we use EBITDA as one measure of our operating performance when we formulate corporate goals, evaluate the effectiveness of our strategies, and determine executive compensation.

(a) Effective January 1, 2011, we include our equity investments in the
REITs in our real estate ownership segment. The equity income (loss) from
the REITs that is now included in our real estate ownership segment
represents our proportionate share of the revenue less expenses of the
properties held by the REITs. This treatment is consistent with that of our
directly-owned properties. Results for the three months ended as well as the
years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 have been adjusted to reflect this
reclassification.
(b) The SEC Staff has recently advised that they take no position on the
inclusion or exclusion of impairment write-downs in arriving at Funds From
Operations ("FFO"). Since 2003, the National Association of Real Estate
Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") has taken the position that the exclusion of
impairment charges is consistent with its definition of FFO. Accordingly, we
have revised our computation of FFO to exclude impairment charges, if any,
in arriving at FFO for all periods presented.
(c) Represents gain recognized on purchase of the remaining interests in two
ventures from CPA®:14, which we had previously accounted for under the
equity method. In connection with purchasing these properties, we recognized
a net gain of $27.9 million during the year ended December 31, 2011 to
adjust the carrying value of our existing interests in these ventures to
their estimated fair values.
Non-GAAP Financial Disclosure
FFO is a non-GAAP measure defined by NAREIT. NAREIT defines FFO as net income or loss (as computed in accordance with GAAP) excluding: depreciation and amortization expense from real estate assets, impairment charges on real estate, gains or losses from sales of depreciated real estate assets and extraordinary items; however, FFO related to assets held for sale, sold or otherwise transferred and included in the results of discontinued operations are included. These adjustments also incorporate the pro rata share of unconsolidated subsidiaries. FFO is used by management, investors and analysts to facilitate meaningful comparisons of operating performance between periods and among our peers. Although NAREIT has published this definition of FFO, companies often modify this definition as they seek to provide financial measures that meaningfully reflect their distinctive operations.
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 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. We refer to our modified definition of FFO as AFFO. We exclude these items from GAAP net income as they are not the primary drivers in our decision making process. 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, and we therefore 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 because 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.

(a) We take a substantial portion of our asset management revenue in shares
of the CPA® REIT funds. To the extent we receive distributions in excess
of the equity income that we recognize, we include such amounts in our
evaluation of cash flow from core operations.
(b) Represents noncontrolling interests' share of distributions made by
ventures that we consolidate in our financial statements.
(c) Timing differences arising from the payment of certain liabilities and
the receipt of certain receivables in a period other than that in which the
item is recognized in determining net income may distort the actual cash
flow that our core operations generate. We adjust our GAAP cash flow from
operating activities to record such amounts in the period in which the item
was actually recognized.
(d) Amounts represent termination and subordinated disposition revenue, net
of costs and a 45% tax provision, earned in connection with the CPA®:14/16
Merger. This revenue is generally earned in connection with events that
provide liquidity or alternatives to the CPA® REIT shareholders. In
determining cash flow generated from our core operations, we believe it is
more appropriate to normalize cash flow for the impact of the net revenue
earned in connection with the CPA®:14/16 Merger.
Non-GAAP Financial Disclosure
Adjusted cash flow from operating activities refers to our cash provided by operating activities, as determined in accordance with GAAP, adjusted primarily to reflect timing differences between the period an expense is incurred and paid, to add cash distributions that we receive from our investments in unconsolidated real estate joint ventures in excess of our equity investment in the joint ventures, and to subtract cash distributions that we make to our noncontrolling partners in real estate joint ventures that we consolidate. We hold a number of interests in real estate joint ventures, and we believe that adjusting our GAAP cash provided by operating activities to reflect these actual cash receipts and cash payments may give investors a more accurate picture of our actual cash flow than GAAP cash provided by operating activities alone and that it is a useful supplemental measure for investors to consider. We also believe that adjusted cash flow from operating activities is a useful supplemental measure for assessing the cash flow generated from our core operations, and we use this measure when evaluating distributions to shareholders and as one measure of our operating performance when we determine executive compensation. Adjusted cash flow from operating activities should not be considered as an alternative to cash provided by operating activities computed on a GAAP basis as a measure of our liquidity. Adjusted cash flow from operating activities may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
