CORRECTION
(NOVEMBER 6, 2009) While preparing our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2009, we determined that there was an error in our earnings release dated November 5, 2009 regarding the calculation of the provision for income taxes for the third quarter of 2009. As a result, the provision for income taxes for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 was overstated by $0.5 million, and consequently our net income for each of those periods was understated by the same amount.
To mitigate any confusion from this correction, a copy of our November 5, 2009 earnings release, revised to reflect the above correction, is set forth below.
W. P. Carey Announces Third Quarter Financial Results
New York, NY — November 5, 2009 — Investment firm W. P. Carey & Co. LLC (NYSE: WPC) today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2009.
QUARTERLY AND NINE-MONTH RESULTS
  Cash flows from operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 increased to $49.4 million from $47.5 million for the prior year period.
 
  Adjusted cash flow from operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $71.3 million, compared to $70.1 million for the comparable period in 2008.
 
  Total revenues net of reimbursed expenses for the third quarter of 2009 were $47.7 million, compared to $55.2 million for the third quarter of 2008. Total revenues net of reimbursed expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 were $142.5 million, compared to $149.4 million for the comparable period in 2008. Reimbursed expenses are excluded from total revenues because they have no impact on net income.
 
  Net income for the third quarter of 2009 was $13.4 million, compared to $19.2 million for the same period in 2008. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, net income was $46.0 million, compared to $56.1 million for the comparable period in 2008.
 
  Funds from operations (FFO) for the third quarter of 2009 were $30.2 million or $0.75 per diluted share, compared to $33.5 million or $0.83 per diluted share for the comparable period in 2008. FFO for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $89.2 million or $2.24 per diluted share, compared to $90.6 million or $2.25 per diluted share for the comparable period in 2008.
 
  We incurred impairment charges of $2.4 million for the third quarter of 2009 and $4.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and our CPA® REITs incurred impairment charges of $54.1 million for the quarter and $108.7 million for the nine months. This reduced the amount of income we recognize from these equity investments by approximately $3.6 million for the third quarter and $6.4 million for the nine-month period. We received approximately $10.5 million in cash distributions from our equity ownership in the CPA® REITs for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.
 
  Further information concerning FFO and adjusted cash flow from operating activities, non-GAAP supplemental performance metrics, is presented in the accompanying tables.
INVESTMENT, FUNDRAISING AND FINANCING ACTIVITY
  Investment volume, for our own portfolio and on behalf of the CPA® REITs, for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $395.4 million, compared to $404.0 million for the comparable period in 2008.
 
  In the third quarter, we closed two international transactions on behalf of the REITs—a $93.6 million sale-leaseback with UK retailer Tesco plc, our first Hungarian transaction, and a $27.5 million build-to-suit transaction with UK public transport provider National Express for their main coach terminal and headquarters building.
 
  We continue to raise investor capital through our latest REIT offering, CPA®:17 — Global, so that we may take advantage of attractive investment opportunities that we believe are afforded by the current market environment. Through October 31, 2009, CPA®:17 — Global has raised more than $685 million of its up-to $2 billion offering. For the third quarter of 2009, we raised $124.6 million, compared to $100.3 million in the second quarter and $71.5 million in the first quarter of this year.

 

 


 

  Since the beginning of the credit crunch in September 2008, W. P. Carey and our CPA® REITs have secured more than $390 million in debt financings, including a $120 million loan with the Bank of China, New York Branch for The New York Times Company’s Midtown Manhattan headquarters that was purchased in March 2009.
ASSETS UNDER MANAGEMENT
  W. P. Carey is the advisor to the CPA® REITs, which had real estate assets of $7.9 billion and total assets of $8.4 billion as of September 30, 2009.
  As of September 30, 2009, the occupancy rate of our 16.7 million square foot owned portfolio was approximately 95%. In addition, for the 92.7 million square feet owned by the CPA® REITs, the occupancy rate was approximately 97%.
DISTRIBUTIONS
  The Board of Directors raised the quarterly cash distribution to $0.50 per share for the third quarter of 2009. The distribution was paid on October 15, 2009 to shareholders of record as of September 30, 2009. This was our 34th consecutive quarterly dividend increase.
 
  Over the past 36 years, W. P. Carey and the CPA® programs have paid more than $3 billion to investors over 800 cash distributions.
Gordon DuGan, President and CEO of W. P. Carey, said, “While our FFO for the quarter is down due to lower investment volume for the quarter, our adjusted cash flow year-to-date is up. Our fundraising for CPA®:17 — Global continued to increase in the third quarter and we are seeing a healthy investment pipeline today. We believe our fundraising efforts provide us the investment capital needed for future acquisitions, which will allow us to continue to grow our assets under management.”

Non-GAAP Financial Disclosure
EBITDA as disclosed represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. We believe that EBITDA is a useful supplemental measure for assessing the performance of our business segments, although it does not represent net income that is computed in accordance with GAAP. Accordingly, EBITDA should not be considered an alternative for net income as an indicator of our financial performance. EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

Non-GAAP Financial Disclosure
Funds from operations (FFO) is a non-GAAP financial measure that is commonly used in evaluating real estate companies. Although the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT) has published a definition of FFO, real estate companies often modify this definition as they seek to provide financial measures that meaningfully reflect their operations. FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income as an indication of a company’s operating performance or to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of its liquidity. It should be used in conjunction with GAAP net income. FFO disclosed by other REITs may not be comparable to our FFO calculation.
NAREIT’s definition of FFO adjusts GAAP net income to exclude depreciation and gains/losses from the sales of properties and adjusts for FFO applicable to unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. We calculate FFO in accordance with this definition and then 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, impairment charges on real estate and unrealized foreign currency exchange gains and losses. 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 that have no impact on cash flows.

Non-GAAP Financial Disclosure
Adjusted cash flow from operating activities is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents cash flow from operating activities on a GAAP basis adjusted for certain timing differences and deferrals as described below. We believe that adjusted cash flow from operating activities is a useful supplemental measure for assessing the cash flow generated from our core operations and is used in evaluating distributions to shareholders. Adjusted cash flow from operating activities should not be considered as an alternative for cash flow from 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.
 
     
(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 contributions/distributions made by ventures that we consolidate in our financial statements. This adjustment in the calculation of adjusted cash flow from operating activities was introduced during the fourth quarter of 2008 because we believe that it results in a more accurate presentation of this supplemental measure.
 
(c)   Timing differences arising from the payment of certain liabilities in a period other than that in which the expense 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 liability was actually incurred. We believe this is a fairer measure of determining our cash flow from core operations.
 
(d)   Amounts deferred in lieu of CPA®:16 — Global achieving its performance criterion, net of a 45% tax provision. In determining cash flow generated from our core operations, we believe it is more appropriate to normalize cash flow for the impact of CPA®:16 — Global achieving its performance criterion, rather than recognizing the entire deferred amount in the quarter in which the performance criterion was met (second quarter of 2007), as this revenue was actually earned over a three-year period.
 
(e)   In March 2008, we entered into a settlement with the SEC with respect to all matters relating to their investigation. As a result, we paid $30 million in the first quarter of 2008 and recognized an offsetting $9 million tax benefit in the same period.
