WP Carey Q3 2024 Earnings Report
Key Takeaways
W. P. Carey's Q3 2024 results showed a decrease in revenue and net income compared to the same period last year, primarily due to strategic exits from office assets and the disposition of the U-Haul portfolio. However, the company narrowed its AFFO guidance range for the full year and completed significant transactions, including the conversion of self-storage operating properties to net leases. The company is focusing on funding investments with existing cash and alternative capital sources, which supports AFFO growth in 2025.
AFFO guidance range narrowed to between $4.65 and $4.71 per diluted share.
Investment volume of $971.4 million completed year to date, with $167.0 million in Q3.
Completed dispositions of $1.2 billion year to date, including $81.8 million in Q3.
Contractual same-store rent growth of 2.8%.
