W. P. Carey is maintaining its expectation that it will report total AFFO of between $5.18 and $5.30 per diluted share, including Real Estate AFFO of between $5.03 and $5.15 per diluted share.
Positive Outlook
- Investments for the Company's Real Estate portfolio of between $1.5 billion and $2.0 billion, which is unchanged
- Dispositions from the Company's Real Estate portfolio of between $250 million and $350 million, which is unchanged
- Total general and administrative expenses of between $86 million and $89 million, which is unchanged
- Excludes the impact of the Company’s proposed merger with CPA:18
- Company expects the proposed merger to close in early August 2022
Challenges Ahead
- The Company does not provide guidance on net income.
- The Company only provides guidance on total AFFO (and Real Estate AFFO) and does not provide a reconciliation of this forward-looking non-GAAP guidance to net income due to the inherent difficulty in quantifying certain items necessary to provide such reconciliation as a result of their unknown effect, timing and potential significance.
- Examples of such items include impairments of assets, gains and losses from sales of assets, and depreciation and amortization from new acquisitions.
- The proposed merger and related transactions are subject to the satisfaction of a number of closing conditions set forth in the merger agreement, including approval by the stockholders of CPA:18.
- There can be no assurance that the merger will be completed at such time or at all.
