REALTY INCOME CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2026 (unaudited)
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Realty Income Corporation (“Realty Income,” the “Company,” “we,” “our” or “us”), a Maryland corporation, is an S&P 500 company and real estate partner to the world's leading companies®. The Company was founded in 1969 and our shares of common stock trade on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") under the symbol “O”.
As of March 31, 2026, we owned or held interests in a diversified portfolio of 15,571 properties located in all 50 states of the United States ("U.S."), the United Kingdom ("U.K."), and eight other countries in Europe.
Basis of Presentation. These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). Intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. The U.S. Dollar ("USD") is our reporting currency. Unless otherwise indicated, all dollar amounts are expressed in USD.
For our consolidated subsidiaries whose functional currency is not the USD, we translate their financial statements into USD at the time we consolidate those subsidiaries’ financial statements. Generally, assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. The resulting translation adjustments are included in 'Accumulated other comprehensive income' ("AOCI") on our consolidated balance sheets. Certain balance sheet items, primarily equity and capital-related accounts, are reflected at the historical exchange rate. Income statement accounts are translated using the average exchange rate for the period.
We and certain of our consolidated subsidiaries have intercompany and third-party debt that is not denominated in our functional currency. When the debt is remeasured to the functional currency of the entity, a gain or loss can result. The resulting adjustment is reflected in 'Foreign currency and derivative loss, net' in our consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. In the statement of cash flows, cash flows denominated in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rates in effect at the time of the respective cash flows or at average exchange rates for the period, depending on the nature of the cash flow items.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present a fair statement of results for the interim periods presented have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2026 are not necessarily an indication of the results that may be expected for the entire year. Readers of this quarterly report should refer to our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, which are included in our 2025 annual report on Form 10-K, as certain disclosures that would substantially duplicate those contained in the audited financial statements have not been included in this report.
Principles of Consolidation. These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Realty Income and all other entities in which we have a controlling financial interest. We evaluate whether we have a controlling financial interest in an entity in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 810, Consolidation.
Voting interest entities ("VOEs") are entities considered to have sufficient equity at risk and which the equity holders have the obligation to absorb losses, the right to receive residual returns and the right to make decisions about the entity’s activities. We consolidate voting interest entities in which we have a controlling financial interest, which we typically have through holding of a majority of the entity’s voting equity interests.
Variable interest entities ("VIEs") are entities that lack sufficient equity at risk or where the equity holders either do not have the obligation to absorb losses, do not have the right to receive residual returns, do not have the right to make decisions about the entity’s activities, or some combination of the above. A controlling financial interest in a VIE is present when an entity has a variable interest, or a combination of variable interests, that provides the entity with (i) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. An entity that meets both conditions above is deemed the primary beneficiary and consolidates the VIE. We reassess our initial evaluation of whether an entity is a VIE when certain reconsideration events occur. We reassess our determination of whether we are the primary beneficiary of a VIE on an ongoing basis based on current facts and circumstances.
-6-
As of March 31, 2026, we are considered the primary beneficiary of our U.S. Core Plus Fund (the "Fund"), our strategic partnership in joint venture with Apollo Global Management, Inc. ("Apollo"), Realty Income, L.P. and certain investments, including investments in joint ventures. Below is a summary of selected financial data of such consolidated VIEs, included on our consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 (in thousands):
| March 31, 2026 | December 31, 2025 | ||||||||||
Net real estate | $ | 6,755,640 | $ | 4,831,968 | |||||||
Total assets | $ | 7,772,142 | $ | 5,579,888 | |||||||
Total liabilities | $ | 395,944 | $ | 422,092 | |||||||
The portion of a consolidated entity not owned by us is recorded as a noncontrolling interest. Noncontrolling interests are reflected on our consolidated balance sheets as a component of equity. Noncontrolling interests that were created or assumed as part of a business combination or asset acquisition were recognized at fair value as of the date of the transaction. For further details, see note 9, Noncontrolling Interests.
Reclassification. The 'Other revenue' line item from prior periods has been broken out into the following line items: 'Interest income on financing receivables', 'Interest and dividend income on loans and preferred equity investments, and 'Other' to provide further detail on amounts included as 'Other' in our consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. Prior periods have been reclassified to conform with the current period’s presentation.
Use of Estimates. The consolidated financial statements were prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Net Income per Common Share. Basic net income per common share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted net income per common share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders, plus income attributable to dilutive shares and convertible common units for the period, by the weighted average number of common shares that would have been outstanding assuming the issuance of common shares for all dilutive common shares outstanding during the reporting period, including common shares required to satisfy the exchange obligation for convertible notes under the if-converted method, assuming all such convertible notes were converted at the beginning of the reporting period, or date of issuance, if later. The average closing price of our common stock for the reporting period is used as the basis for determining the dilutive effect on earnings per share. For further details, see note 15, Net Income per Common Share.
Income Taxes. We have elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust ("REIT"), under Section 856 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). We believe we have qualified and continue to qualify as a REIT. Under the REIT operating structure, we are permitted to deduct dividends paid to our stockholders in determining our taxable income. Assuming our dividends equal or exceed our taxable net income in the U.S., we generally will not be required to pay U.S. income taxes on such income. Accordingly, no provision has been made for federal income taxes in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, except for federal income taxes of our taxable REIT subsidiaries ("TRS"). A TRS is a subsidiary of a REIT that is subject to federal, state and local income taxes, as applicable. Our use of TRS entities enables us to engage in certain business activities while complying with the REIT qualification requirements and to retain any income generated by these businesses for reinvestment without the requirement to distribute those earnings. We are liable for taxes in our applicable international territories and have made the appropriate provisions in those territories. Therefore, the income taxes recorded in our consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income represent amounts for U.S. income taxes on our TRS entities, city and state income and franchise taxes, as well as income taxes for the applicable international territories.
We recognize deferred income tax in our taxable subsidiaries, including certain international jurisdictions. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are generally the result of temporary differences between book and tax accounting, such as timing differences caused by different useful lives used for depreciation. We provide for a valuation allowance for deferred income tax assets if we believe some or all of the deferred income tax assets may not be realized. We had $5.7 million and $4.3 million of net deferred tax liabilities as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, which are reported in 'Other liabilities' on our consolidated balance sheets.

Earnings and profits that determine the taxability of distributions to stockholders differ from net income reported for financial reporting purposes primarily due to differences in the estimated useful lives and methods used to compute depreciation and the carrying value (basis) of the investments in properties for tax purposes, among other things.
We regularly analyze our various international, federal and state filing positions and only recognize the income tax effect in our financial statements when certain criteria regarding uncertain income tax positions have been met. We believe that our income tax positions would more likely than not be sustained upon examination by all relevant taxing authorities. Therefore, no provisions for uncertain tax positions have been recorded on our consolidated financial statements.
Lease Revenue Recognition and Accounts Receivable. The majority of our leases are accounted for as operating leases. Under this method, leases that have fixed and determinable rent increases are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Any rental revenue contingent upon our client’s sales, or percentage rent, is recognized only after our client exceeds its sales breakpoint. Rental increases based upon changes in the consumer price indices are recognized only after the changes in the indexes have occurred and are then applied according to the lease agreements. Lease termination fees, which are included in rental revenue, are amortized over the remaining term of the lease until we have no continuing obligation to provide services to such former client. Contractually obligated rental revenue from our clients for recoverable real estate taxes and operating expenses are included in contractually obligated reimbursements by our clients, a component of rental revenue, in the period when such costs are incurred. Taxes and operating expenses paid directly by our clients are recorded on a net basis.
Other revenue includes certain property-related revenue not included in rental revenue and interest income recognized on financing receivables for certain leases with above-market terms.
We assess the probability of collecting substantially all of the lease payments to which we are entitled under the original lease contract as required under ASC 842, Leases. We assess the collectability of our future lease payments based on an analysis of creditworthiness, economic trends and other facts and circumstances related to the applicable clients. If we conclude the collection of substantially all of lease payments under a lease is less than probable, rental revenue recognized for that lease is limited to cash received going forward, existing operating lease receivables, including those related to straight-line rental revenue, must be written off as an adjustment to rental revenue, and no further operating lease receivables are recorded for that lease until such future determination is made that substantially all lease payments under that lease are now considered probable. If we subsequently conclude that the collection of substantially all lease payments under a lease is probable, a reversal of lease receivables previously written off is recognized.
In addition to the client-specific collectability assessment conducted, we may also recognize a general allowance, as a reduction to rental revenue, for our operating lease receivables which are not expected to be fully collectible. We had $5.3 million and $5.1 million of general allowance as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
Loans Receivable. Our acquired loans are classified as held for investment and are carried at their amortized cost basis. We recognize interest income on loans receivable using a method that approximates the effective-interest method. Direct costs associated with originating loans, along with any premium or discount, are deferred and amortized as an adjustment to interest income over the term of the loan using the effective interest method. When management identifies that the full recovery of the contractually specified payments of principal and interest of a loan is less than probable, we evaluate the expected loss amount and place it on non-accrual status. We have made an accounting policy election to record accrued interest on our loan portfolio separate from our loan receivable and other lending investments. These loans and the related interest receivable are presented in 'Other assets, net' on our consolidated balance sheets.
Acquisition, Development and Construction ("ADC") Arrangements. We originate loans to third-party borrowers for the acquisition, development, and construction of real estate. Each ADC arrangement is evaluated in accordance with ASC 310, Receivables, which involves the determination of whether an arrangement should be accounted for as a loan receivable or as an equity method investment. This analysis is applied only where the borrower entity is not subject to consolidation under ASC 810, Consolidation. Specifically, we first assess whether we are expected to receive more than 50% of the expected residual profits from the project, defined as profit above a reasonable lender return from the sale, refinancing, or other use of the property. If our expected participation in residual profits exceeds 50%, the arrangement must be accounted for as an equity method investment. If our
-8-
expected participation is 50% or less, we further evaluate whether the arrangement exhibits characteristics more consistent with a loan or an equity method investment. This evaluation involves judgment and considers various factors, including the significance of borrower equity in the project, loan-to-cost and loan-to-value metrics relative to market, the existence of guarantees or binding lease arrangements, and interest rate and fee terms relative to market, among others. We reassess the classification of each ADC arrangement if facts and circumstances subsequently change in a manner that could affect the initial classification. Any reclassification is applied prospectively. As of March 31, 2026, we have determined that all of our ADC loan arrangements have characteristics more consistent with a loan than an equity method investment, and accordingly account for them as loan receivables.
Financing Receivables. For properties we acquire that qualify as sale-leaseback transactions and for which the purchase price is in excess of the fair value of the real estate acquired, the difference is accounted for as financing receivables, presented within 'Other assets, net' on our consolidated balance sheets. Rent payments are allocated between rental income and the financing receivable. Interest income on the financing receivable is recognized using the interest rate implicit in the leaseback and presented within 'Interest income on financing receivables revenue' in our consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.
Allowance for Credit Losses. The allowance for credit losses, which is recorded as a reduction to loans receivable and financing receivable within 'Other assets, net' on our consolidated balance sheets, is measured using a probability of default method based on our clients respective credit ratings, our historical experience, and the expected value of the underlying collateral upon its repossession. If we determine a financing receivable no longer shares risk characteristics with other financing receivables in the pool, we evaluate the financing receivable for expected credit losses on an individual basis. Included in our model are factors that incorporate forward-looking information. The measurement of expected credit losses is also applicable to off-balance sheet credit exposures such as unfunded loan commitments. The allowance for credit losses attributed to unfunded commitments is included in 'Other liabilities' on our consolidated balance sheets. Changes in our allowance for credit losses are presented in 'Provisions for impairment' in our consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. For further details, see note 5, Investments in Loans and Financing Receivables.
Merger, Transaction, and Other Costs, Net. Merger, transaction, and other costs, net, includes (i) expensed acquisition costs, including certain costs incurred for credit investment loans, (ii) organization costs for potential strategic ventures and business lines, (iii) ongoing legal services incurred in fundraising of the Fund, (iv) merger-related transaction costs, and (v) other costs that do not align with the ongoing operations of our business. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we incurred $10.8 million of merger, transaction, and other costs, net consisting primarily of expensed acquisition costs and placement fees incurred in fundraising for the Fund.
Equity Offering Costs. Underwriting commissions and offering costs have been reflected as a reduction of additional paid-in capital on our consolidated balance sheets. Costs incurred in connection with the issuance of noncontrolling interests, including direct and incremental costs associated with forming joint ventures and admitting third-party investors, are capitalized as equity offering costs. Costs that are not directly attributable to the issuance of equity, such as fees associated with ongoing advisory, management, or other services, are expensed as incurred.
Recent Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted. In September 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2025-06, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software, which simplifies the capitalization guidance by removing references to software development project stages and further updates so that the guidance considers various software development methods. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. The amendments in this update permit an entity to apply the new guidance using a prospective, retrospective or modified transition approach. While we are currently evaluating the impact of this pronouncement, we do not expect it will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures, requiring all public business entities to provide additional disclosure of the nature of expenses included in the income statement. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, on a prospective basis, with early adoption permitted. While the adoption is not expected to have an impact on our financial statements, it is expected to result in incremental disclosures within the footnotes to our consolidated financial statements.

(4)USD-denominated other liabilities consists entirely of $0.8 million deferred rent on certain below-market leases.
The aggregate Sterling-denominated purchase price of the assets acquired during the three months ended March 31, 2026 included $15.2 million contingent consideration obligations related to leasing activities for four U.K. retail park properties acquired, all of which was deemed estimable and probable of payment and therefore was accrued as of March 31, 2026.
-11-
The properties acquired during the three months ended March 31, 2026 generated total revenue and net income of $5.4 million and $1.5 million, respectively.
B. Investments in Existing Properties
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we capitalized costs of $22.7 million on existing properties in our portfolio, consisting of $19.8 million for building improvements, $2.8 million for re-leasing costs, and $0.1 million for recurring capital expenditures. In comparison, during the three months ended March 31, 2025, we capitalized costs of $30.7 million on existing properties in our portfolio, consisting of $29.8 million for building improvements, $0.9 million for re-leasing costs, and less than $0.1 million for recurring capital expenditures.
C. Properties with Existing Leases
The value of the in-place and above-market leases is recorded to 'Lease intangible assets, net' on our consolidated balance sheets, and the value of the below-market leases is recorded to 'Lease intangible liabilities, net' on our consolidated balance sheets.
The values of the in-place leases are amortized as depreciation and amortization expense. The amounts amortized to expense for all of our in-place leases for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 were $204.3 million and $213.2 million, respectively.
The values of the above-market and below-market leases are amortized over the term of the respective leases, including any bargain renewal options, as an adjustment to rental revenue in our consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. The amounts amortized as a net decrease to rental revenue for capitalized above-market and below-market leases for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 were $6.1 million and $9.7 million, respectively.
The following table presents the estimated impact during the next five years and thereafter related to the amortization of the above-market and below-market lease intangibles and the amortization of the in-place lease intangibles as of March 31, 2026 (in thousands):

(1)As of March 31, 2026, the total carrying amount of the investments exceeded the underlying equity in net assets (i.e., basis difference) by $9.3 million. This basis difference is primarily due to the capitalized interest related to the data center and Passport Park development joint ventures.
(2)The joint venture with Digital Realty Trust, Inc. is expanding the capacity of its two data centers for the existing client, and our pro-rata share of the estimated costs for this second phase of the development was $190.4 million as of March 31, 2026.
(3)During each of the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, we recognized interest income of $13.0 million for 8.1% preferential cumulative distributions, included within 'Other' revenue in our consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. The unconsolidated entity had total debt outstanding of $3.0 billion as of March 31, 2026, all of which was non-recourse to us with limited customary exceptions.
(4)As of March 31, 2026, we held a 95.0% common equity interest in the joint venture with Trammell Crow Company ("TCC"), with $58.2 million in preferred equity. We have committed to investing an additional $77.7 million for development of three industrial facilities. We have determined that we are not the primary beneficiary of this VIE because significant activities affecting economic performance are shared. TCC is the managing member, and we do not have substantive kick-out rights. We will continuously evaluate whether we are the primary beneficiary as power to direct significant activities can change during the joint venture's life. Our maximum loss exposure is limited to our common and preferred equity investments and committed funding.

6. Credit Facilities and Commercial Paper Programs
A. RI Credit Facilities
We have $4.0 billion unsecured multicurrency revolving credit facilities, which include (a) a $2.0 billion unsecured multicurrency revolving credit facility, consisting of two tranches, that will mature in April 2027 and (b) a $2.0 billion unsecured multicurrency revolving credit facility, consisting of two tranches, that will mature in April 2029 (collectively, the “RI Credit Facilities”). The RI Credit Facilities also include two six-month extensions for each facility, which can be exercised at our option.
The RI Credit Facilities allow us to borrow (a) under the two-year revolving credit facility (i) in up to four currencies (including USD) under a $1.5 billion tranche thereunder and (ii) in up to 15 currencies (including USD) under a $500.0 million tranche thereunder, and (b) under the four-year revolving credit facility (i) in up to four currencies (including USD) under a $1.5 billion tranche thereunder and (ii) in up to 15 currencies (including USD) under a $500.0 million tranche thereunder. The aggregate capacity of the RI Credit Facilities can be increased to up to $5.0 billion pursuant to an accordion expansion feature, which is subject to obtaining lender commitments.
Under the RI Credit Facilities, our investment grade credit ratings as of March 31, 2026 provide for (i) USD borrowings at the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus 0.725% and (ii) British Pound Sterling ("GBP") borrowings at the SONIA plus 0.725%, and (iii) Euro ("EUR") borrowings at Euro Interbank Offered Rate (“EURIBOR”) plus 0.725%. A revolving credit facility commitment fee of 0.125% is payable on the total commitment amount. The credit agreement also provides flexibility to elect different interest rate tenors or daily rate options for each currency tranche.
As of March 31, 2026, we had a borrowing capacity of $2.2 billion available on our RI Credit Facilities (subject to customary conditions to borrowing) and an outstanding balance of $1.8 billion, including £606.5 million GBP and €841.0 million EUR borrowings. As of December 31, 2025, we had a borrowing capacity of $2.7 billion and an outstanding balance of $1.3 billion, including £597.0 million GBP and €444.0 million EUR borrowings.
The weighted average interest rate on outstanding borrowings under our RI Credit Facilities was 3.3% during the three months ended March 31, 2026. The weighted average interest rate on outstanding borrowings under our previous revolving credit facility was 4.5% during the three months ended March 31, 2025. As of March 31, 2026, the weighted average interest rate on outstanding borrowings under our RI Credit Facilities was 3.5%.
As of March 31, 2026, origination costs of $16.7 million for RI Credit Facilities are included in 'Other assets, net', as compared to $19.0 million as of December 31, 2025, on our consolidated balance sheets. These costs are being amortized over the remaining term of our RI Credit Facilities.

B. Fund Credit Facilities
The Fund has a $1.38 billion unsecured credit facility, which provides for (a) up to $1.0 billion unsecured revolving credit facility and (b) up to $380.0 million unsecured delayed draw term loan which is available to be drawn for twelve months after April 29, 2025 (the "Closing Date"). In April 2026, the availability period for the delayed draw term loan was extended to October 30, 2026 (collectively, the “Fund Credit Facilities”). The revolving credit facility under the Fund Credit Facilities matures in April 2029 and the delayed draw term loan under the Fund Credit Facilities matures in April 2028. The Fund Credit Facilities also include two six-month extensions for each facility, which can be exercised at our option. The aggregate amount under the Fund Credit Facilities can be increased to up to $2.0 billion pursuant to an accordion expansion feature, which is subject to obtaining lender commitments.
Borrowings under the Fund Credit Facilities bear interest at one-month term SOFR plus 1.050%. A revolving credit facility commitment fee of 0.150% is payable on the total commitment amount. In addition, a commitment fee of 0.20% is payable on undrawn delayed draw term loan commitments.
As of March 31, 2026, we had a borrowing capacity of $1.3 billion available on our Fund Credit Facilities (subject to customary conditions to borrowing) and an outstanding balance of $125.0 million under the unsecured revolving credit facility. As of December 31, 2025, we had a borrowing capacity of $1.2 billion and an outstanding balance of $182.0 million.
The weighted average interest rate on outstanding borrowings under our Fund Credit Facilities was 5.0% during the three months ended March 31, 2026. As of March 31, 2026, the weighted average interest rate on outstanding borrowings under our Fund Credit Facilities was 4.7%.
As of March 31, 2026, origination costs of $5.7 million for the Fund Credit Facilities are included in 'Other assets, net' as compared to $6.2 million as of December 31, 2025, on our consolidated balance sheets, and are being amortized over the remaining term of the facilities. An additional $3.0 million was allocated to the delayed draw term loan arrangement and will not be amortized until the loan is drawn.
C. Commercial Paper Programs
We have a USD-denominated unsecured commercial paper program, under which we may issue unsecured commercial paper notes up to a maximum aggregate amount outstanding of $1.5 billion, as well as a EUR-denominated unsecured commercial paper program, which permits us to issue additional unsecured commercial notes up to a maximum aggregate amount of $1.5 billion (or foreign currency equivalent). Our EUR-denominated unsecured commercial paper program may be issued in USD or various foreign currencies, including but not limited to, EUR, GBP, Swiss Francs, Yen, Canadian Dollars, and Australian Dollars, in each case, pursuant to customary terms in the European commercial paper market.
The commercial paper ranks pari passu in right of payment with all of our other unsecured senior indebtedness outstanding, exclusive of unexchanged bonds from our merger with VEREIT, Inc. in 2021 and unexchanged Spirit Realty Capital, Inc. (“Spirit”) bonds, including borrowings under our revolving credit facilities, our term loans and our outstanding senior unsecured notes (and is structurally subordinated to all our subsidiary debt). Proceeds from commercial paper borrowings are used for general corporate purposes.
As of March 31, 2026, the balance of borrowings outstanding under our commercial paper programs totaled $414.9 million, including €260.0 million of EUR borrowings, $96.0 million of USD borrowings, and £15.0 million of GBP borrowings, compared to $516.8 million outstanding commercial paper borrowings, including €407.0 million of EUR borrowings and $39.0 million of USD borrowings, as of December 31, 2025. The weighted average interest rate on outstanding borrowings under our commercial paper programs was 2.7% and 3.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. We use our revolving credit facilities as a liquidity backstop for the repayment of the notes issued under the commercial paper programs. The commercial paper borrowings generally carry a term of less than a year.
We regularly review our credit facilities and commercial paper programs and may seek to extend, renew, or replace our credit facilities and commercial paper programs, to the extent we deem appropriate.
D. Financial Covenants
Our credit facilities are subject to various leverage and interest coverage ratio limitations, and as of March 31, 2026, we were in compliance with the covenants under our credit facilities.

7. Term Loans
In March 2026, we closed a $693.9 million unsecured term loan due January 2036 at a fixed rate of 4.91% and executed a cross-currency swap on $500.0 million of proceeds for approximately €431.0 million, achieving an effective blended borrowing rate of 4.34%. As of March 31, 2026, the outstanding principal balance was $693.9 million.
Our term loan agreement governing our $1.5 billion multi-currency term loan provides for a £900.0 million Sterling-denominated term loan facility that will initially mature in January 2028, before giving effect to one twelve-month extension option. As of March 31, 2026, we had an outstanding balance of $1.2 billion. Our A3/A- credit ratings provide for a borrowing rate of 80 basis points over the applicable benchmark rate, which includes adjusted SOFR for USD-denominated loans and adjusted SONIA for GBP-denominated loans. In conjunction with the closing, we executed variable-to-fixed interest rate swaps, which fix the weighted average per annum interest rate at 4.3% over the two-year term.
In January 2024, in connection with the merger with Spirit (the "Merger"), we entered into an amended and restated term loan agreement that replaced Spirit's then-existing term loans with various lenders. Pursuant to the agreement, we borrowed an aggregate of $800.0 million, $300.0 million of which was repaid upon its maturity in August 2025. The remaining $500.0 million, due August 2027, is subject to interest rate swaps that fix the effective interest rate at 3.3%. We also entered into an amended and restated term loan agreement pursuant to which we borrowed $500.0 million, which was repaid upon its maturity in June 2025.
Deferred financing costs were $12.9 million as of March 31, 2026 and are included net of the term loans' principal balance, as compared to $9.4 million as of December 31, 2025 on our consolidated balance sheets. These costs are being amortized over the remaining term of the term loans. As of March 31, 2026, we were in compliance with the covenants contained in the term loans.

As of March 31, 2026, the weighted average interest rate on our notes and bonds payable was 3.9% and the weighted average remaining years until maturity was 5.9 years.
Interest incurred on the notes and bonds was $244.3 million and $219.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Our outstanding notes and bonds are unsecured; accordingly, we have not pledged any assets as collateral for these or any other obligations.
The notes and bonds contain various covenants, including: (i) a limitation on incurrence of any debt which would cause our debt to total adjusted assets ratio to exceed 60%; (ii) a limitation on incurrence of any secured debt which would cause our secured debt to total adjusted assets ratio to exceed 40%; (iii) a limitation on incurrence of any debt which would cause our debt service coverage ratio to be less than 1.5 times; and (iv) the maintenance at all times of total unencumbered assets not less than 150% of our outstanding unsecured debt. As of March 31, 2026, we were in compliance with these covenants.
B. Convertible Bond Issuance
In January 2026, we issued $862.5 million principal amount of 3.500% convertible senior notes due January 2029 in a private offering, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $845.1 million. We used approximately $101.9 million of the net proceeds to repurchase approximately 1.8 million shares of our common stock concurrently with the pricing of the offering. The notes are senior, unsecured obligations of Realty Income and accrue interest at a rate of 3.500% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears. The notes will mature on January 15, 2029, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted. Before October 15, 2028, noteholders have the right to convert their notes only upon the occurrence of certain events, including when the Company's stock price exceeds 130% of the applicable conversion price for a specified period, or upon the occurrence of certain corporate events, including a fundamental change. From and after October 15, 2028, noteholders may convert their notes at any time at their election until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date. Upon conversion, we are required to settle the principal amount in cash and may, at our election, settle any conversion premium in cash, shares of our common stock, or a combination thereof, based on the applicable conversion rate. The initial conversion rate is 14.4051 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes, which represents an initial conversion price of approximately $69.42 per share of common stock. The conversion rate will be subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events, including specified make-whole fundamental change events as defined in the indenture.
C. Note Repayments
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we repaid the following notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, upon maturity:

9. Noncontrolling Interests
As of March 31, 2026, we have 14 entities with noncontrolling interests that we consolidate, including the Fund, Apollo, Realty Income, L.P., and interests in consolidated property partnerships not wholly-owned by us.
We have an open-end, perpetual life private fund, which is consolidated by Realty Income. In March 2026, we closed our cornerstone equity capital raise round, securing $1.7 billion in commitments from third-party institutional investors, of which $167.5 million was committed during the three months ended March 31, 2026. During the same period, we called $638.0 million of capital. As of March 31, 2026, we owned approximately 38.5% of the outstanding limited partnership interests in the Fund.
In March 2026, we established our Managed Insurance and Retirement Annuity investment platform as a vehicle to pursue various co-investment opportunities with institutional investors. On March 31, 2026, we completed the formation of MDC Mercury 2604 Venture, LLC (the "Apollo JV") and entered into an Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement (the “JV Agreement”) with Apollo in connection with our Managed Insurance and Retirement Annuity strategic initiative. Pursuant to the JV Agreement, we contributed 492 net lease properties in exchange for 51,000,000 Class A Shares in the Apollo JV, and Apollo contributed $1.0 billion in cash in exchange for a noncontrolling equity interest of 49,000,000 Class B Shares in the Apollo JV (such contributions by Realty Income and Apollo, collectively, the "Apollo JV Transaction").
The Apollo JV is a variable interest entity ("VIE") under ASC 810 because the decision-making authority of the Manager (our wholly owned subsidiary, Realty Income Property Management Co I, LLC) is not conveyed through an equity interest, and the equity holders as a group therefore lack the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the Apollo JV's economic performance. We consolidate the Apollo JV as its primary beneficiary because we have both (i) the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect its economic performance through our role as the sole exclusive Manager that is exercisable independent of our equity ownership and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses and right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the Apollo JV through our 51% equity interest and other contractual arrangements. The Class B Shares are classified as permanent equity (noncontrolling interest) on our consolidated balance sheet because all redemption features are solely within our control.
The Apollo JV Transaction was accounted for as an issuance of noncontrolling interest in a consolidated subsidiary without a loss of control. We received $1.0 billion for Apollo’s initial capital contribution. The carrying amount of Apollo's 49% share of the net assets was $778.3 million, which was recognized as noncontrolling interest, with the difference of $221.7 million recorded as an increase to additional paid-in capital ("APIC"). Direct and incremental transaction costs of $20.6 million were recorded as a reduction of APIC.
The JV Agreement provides for, among other things, quarterly distributions of available cash flow to the Apollo JV’s members. Prior to Apollo achieving the Target IRR (as defined in the JV Agreement), the Class B Member will receive a default allocation of 55% of available cash flow, which may decrease to 49% if the Apollo JV’s NOI outperforms an upper level of certain performance metric, or increase to 60% if the Apollo JV’s NOI underperforms a lower level of certain performance metric. Because the parties' economic interests are not proportionate to their stated ownership percentages, we allocate income and loss attributable to the noncontrolling interest using the hypothetical liquidation at book value ("HLBV") method, taking into account any capital transactions between the Company and Apollo.
With respect to Realty Income, L.P., as of March 31, 2026, outstanding common partnership units in our operating partnership represented a 9.95% ownership interest. We hold the remaining 90.05% interest and consolidate the entity.

10. Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (the exit price).
ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, sets forth a fair value hierarchy that categorizes inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and lowest priority to unobservable inputs. Categorization within this hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
•Level 1 – Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities
•Level 2 – Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other market-corroborated inputs
•Level 3 – Inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement
We evaluate our hierarchy disclosures each quarter and depending on various factors, it is possible that an asset or liability may be classified differently from period to period. Changes in the type of inputs may result in a reclassification for certain assets. We have not historically had changes in classifications and do not expect that changes in classifications between levels will be frequent.

A. Financial Instruments Not Measured at Fair Value on our Consolidated Balance Sheets
The fair value of short-term financial instruments such as cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, escrow deposits, accounts payable, distributions payable, revolving credit facilities and commercial paper borrowings, and other liabilities approximate their carrying value in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, due to their short-term nature. The aggregate fair value of our term loans approximates carrying value due to the frequent repricing of the variable interest rate charged on the borrowing.
The following table reflects the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of our financial instruments not measured at fair value on our consolidated balance sheets (in millions):
| March 31, 2026 | December 31, 2025 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
Carrying value | Fair value | Carrying value | Fair value | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| Loans receivable | $ | 2,672.2 | $ | 2,676.3 | $ | 1,682.1 | $ | 1,684.8 | ||||||||||||||||||
Mortgages payable (1) | $ | 37.5 | $ | 37.1 | $ | 37.9 | $ | 37.6 | ||||||||||||||||||
Notes and bonds payable (1) | $ | 25,228.6 | $ | 24,162.7 | $ | 25,343.8 | $ | 24,647.5 | ||||||||||||||||||
(1) Excludes non-cash net premiums and discounts, and deferred financing costs.
The estimated fair values of our mortgage loan receivable, unsecured and other loans, private senior secured loans receivable, mortgages payable, and private senior notes payable have been calculated by discounting the future cash flows using an interest rate based upon the relevant input, such as forward interest rate curve, plus an applicable credit-adjusted spread. Because this methodology includes unobservable inputs that reflect our own internal assumptions and calculations, the measurement of estimated fair values related to the named financial instruments are categorized as level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
The estimated fair values of our publicly-traded senior secured loans receivable, publicly-traded senior notes and bonds payable are based upon indicative market prices and recent trading activity of each financial instrument. Because this methodology includes inputs that are less observable by the public and are not necessarily reflected in active markets, the measurement of the estimated fair values related to these financial instruments is categorized as level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair value estimation of secured loans receivable that are not publicly traded similarly incorporates less observable, market-corroborated inputs.
B. Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
For derivative assets and liabilities, we may utilize interest rate swaps, interest rate swaptions, and forward-starting swaps to manage interest rate risk, and cross-currency swaps and foreign currency forwards to manage foreign currency risk. The valuation of these instruments is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves, spot and forward rates, as well as option volatility.
Derivative fair values also include credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both our own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. In adjusting the fair value of our derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, we have considered the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral postings, thresholds, mutual puts, and guarantees.
-22-
Although we have determined that the majority of the inputs used to value our derivatives fall within level 2 on the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with our derivatives utilize level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads, to evaluate the likelihood of default by ourselves and our counterparties. However, as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of our derivative positions and determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of our derivatives. As a result, we determined that our derivative valuations in their entirety are classified as level 2. For more details on our derivatives, see note 11, Derivative Instruments.
C. Items Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis
Impairment of Real Estate Investments
Certain financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis and are subject to fair value adjustments only under certain circumstances, such as when an impairment write-down occurs.
Depending on impairment triggering events during the applicable period, impairments are typically recorded for properties sold, in the process of being sold, vacant, in bankruptcy, or experiencing difficulties with collection of rent.
The following table summarizes our provisions for impairment on real estate investments during the periods indicated below (dollars in millions):
| Three months ended March 31, | |||||||||||
| 2026 | 2025 | ||||||||||
| Carrying value prior to impairment | $ | 272.2 | $ | 208.7 | |||||||
| Less: total provisions for impairment of real estate | (90.2) | (97.4) | |||||||||
| Carrying value after impairment | $ | 182.0 | $ | 111.3 | |||||||
| Number of properties: | |||||||||||
| Classified as held for sale | 28 | 34 | |||||||||
| Classified as held for investment | 62 | 26 | |||||||||
| Sold | 23 | 21 | |||||||||
The valuation of impaired assets is determined by using widely accepted valuation techniques including income capitalization approach, using net operating income for each property and applying a weighted average capitalization rate of 8.6%, recent comparable sales transactions, broker opinions of value with discounts based on management judgment, and purchase offers received from third parties, which are level 3 inputs. We may consider a single valuation technique or multiple valuation techniques, as appropriate, when estimating the fair value of such real estate. Estimating future cash flows is highly subjective and estimates can differ materially from actual results.
11. Derivative Instruments
In the normal course of business, our operations are exposed to economic risks from interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. We may enter into derivative financial instruments to offset these underlying economic risks.
Derivatives Designated as Hedging Instruments - Cash Flow Hedges
We enter into foreign currency forward contracts to sell GBP and buy USD to hedge the foreign currency risk on interest payments on intercompany loans denominated in GBP. There are no amounts excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness for cash flow hedges of foreign exchange risk. We also execute variable-to-fixed interest rate swaps and use interest rate swaption agreements to add stability to interest expense and to manage our exposure to interest rate movements associated with our term loans or forecasted transactions. If it becomes probable that a forecasted transaction will not occur within the specific time period or within an additional two-month period thereafter, any related amounts deferred in AOCI are recognized immediately in earnings. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, and 2025, no such amounts were recognized through the caption entitled 'Interest' in our consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.
-23-
Derivatives Designated as Hedging Instruments - Fair Value Hedges
Periodically, we enter into and designate fixed-to-floating interest rate swaps to manage interest rate risk by managing our mix of fixed-rate and variable-rate debt. These swaps involve the receipt of fixed-rate amounts for variable interest rate payments over the life of the swaps without exchange of the underlying principal amount. We also designate some of our cross-currency swaps as fair value hedges as we use them to hedge foreign currency risk associated with changes in spot rates on foreign-denominated intercompany receivables and third-party debt. For these hedging instruments, we have elected to exclude the change in fair value of the cross-currency swaps attributable to the difference between the spot and forward prices from the assessment of hedge effectiveness (the "excluded component"). Changes in the fair value of the cross-currency swaps attributable to these excluded components are recorded to other comprehensive income and subsequently recognized in 'Foreign currency and derivative loss, net' on a systematic and rational basis, as net cash settlements and interest accruals on the respective cross currency swaps occur, over the remaining life of the hedging instruments.
Derivatives Designated as Hedging Instruments - Net Investment Hedges
To mitigate the foreign currency exchange rate variations associated with our investment in EUR-denominated foreign operations, we may enter into derivative instruments, such as cross-currency swaps that qualify as net investment hedges under the criteria prescribed in accordance with ASC 815-20, Hedging - General. We use the spot method of assessing hedge effectiveness and apply the consistent election to the excluded component by recognizing changes in the fair value of the hedging instruments attributable to the excluded component in the same manner as described above. Any difference between the change in the fair value of the excluded components and the amounts recognized in earnings is reported in other comprehensive income as part of the foreign cumulative translation adjustment. The gain or loss on the portion of the derivative instruments included in the assessment of effectiveness is reported in other comprehensive income as part of the 'Foreign currency translation adjustment' line item, to the extent the relationship is highly effective. If our net investment changes during a reporting period, the hedge relationship will be assessed for whether a de-designation is warranted (only if the hedge notional amount is outside of prescribed tolerance). Further, certain EUR-denominated bonds and borrowings under our revolving credit facilities and term loans may also be designated as, and are effective as, net investment hedges. Changes in the value of such borrowings, related to changes in the spot rates, will be recorded in the same manner as foreign currency translation adjustments. As of March 31, 2026, the total principal amount of foreign currency debt obligations designated as net investment hedges was $761.2 million.
Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments
We enter into foreign currency exchange swap agreements to reduce the effects of currency exchange rate fluctuations between the USD, our reporting currency, and GBP and EUR. These derivative contracts generally mature within one year and are not designated as hedge instruments for accounting purposes. As the currency exchange swap is not accounted for as a hedging instrument, the change in fair value is recorded in earnings through the caption entitled 'Foreign currency and derivative loss, net' in our consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we granted a total of 264,649 shares of restricted stock and restricted stock units under the Realty Income 2021 Incentive Award Plan (the "2021 Plan"). Restricted stock and restricted stock units granted to employees vest over a service period not exceeding four years, while those granted to directors vest over a period of up to three years based on each director's years of service, and are subject to the director’s continued service through each applicable vesting date.
As of March 31, 2026, the remaining unamortized share-based compensation expense related to restricted stock awards and units totaled $36.6 million, which is being amortized on a straight-line basis over the service period of each applicable award. The amount of share-based compensation is based on the fair value of the stock at the grant date. We define the grant date as the date the recipient and Realty Income have a mutual understanding of the key terms and conditions of the award, and the recipient of the grant begins to benefit from, or be adversely affected by, subsequent changes in the price of the shares.
B. Performance Shares
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we granted 246,900 performance shares, as well as dividend equivalent rights, to our executive officers. The performance shares are earned based on our Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”) performance relative to select industry indices and peer groups as well as achievement of certain operating metrics, and vest 50% as of the date of which the plan administrator determines the achievement of the applicable goals during the applicable three-year performance period and the remaining 50% on January 1 of the following year, subject to continued service.
As of March 31, 2026, the remaining share-based compensation expense related to the performance shares totaled $38.6 million. The performance shares are recognized on a tranche-by-tranche basis over the service period. The fair value of the performance shares was estimated on the date of grant using a Monte Carlo Simulation model.

17. Segment and Geographic Information
A. Segment Information
Our business is characterized as primarily owning and leasing commercial properties under long-term, net lease agreements (whereby clients are responsible for property taxes, insurance and maintenance costs), and these economic characteristics are similar across various property types, geographic locations, and industries in which our clients operate. Our chief operating decision maker ("CODM") is our President, Chief Executive Officer. Information reviewed by our CODM in evaluating performance and allocating resources is primarily operating results and cash flow analysis on a consolidated basis. Therefore, we operate and manage the business in one operating and reportable segment.
The CODM assesses performance and decides how to allocate resources based on net income that also is reported on the income statement as consolidated net income. The measure of segment assets is reported on the balance sheet as total consolidated assets. Our significant segment expenses include consolidated expense categories presented in our consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income, as well as additional significant segment expense categories reported within 'Property (including reimbursements)' and 'General and administrative' expense captions, as follows (in thousands):

18. Commitments and Contingencies
In the ordinary course of business, we are party to various legal actions which we believe are routine in nature and incidental to the operation of our business. We believe that the outcome of the proceedings will not have a material adverse effect upon our consolidated financial position or results of operations.
As of March 31, 2026, we had $736.3 million of commitments under construction contracts related to development projects, which have estimated rental revenue commencement dates between April 2026 and December 2028. In addition, as of March 31, 2026, we had commitments of $42.3 million for tenant improvements, recurring capital expenditures, and building improvements, and had accrued $15.2 million in contingent consideration obligations related to leasing activities at four U.K. retail park properties acquired in 2026.
-31-
In March 2026, we closed on a mezzanine loan entered into with a joint venture with a principal balance of $375.0 million. As of March 31, 2026, we have an obligation to fund up to $135.6 million over the term of the guarantee on third-party debt related to this loan, in the event of default. The guarantee is effective through the term of the related loan, which matures in March 2029 and has two 12-month extension options available. The guarantee requires fair value measurement. As such, we recorded the measured amount of $4.0 million as a liability at inception, which is included in 'Other liabilities' on our consolidated balance sheets.
As of March 31, 2026, we had approximately $390.1 million of unfunded loan commitments related to certain loan investments, under which we are committed to provide funding upon borrower request, subject to satisfaction of customary conditions. These commitments may be funded over the contractual commitment period and are generally intended to support the financing needs of the borrowers, including project development costs, operational expenditures, and interest obligations. These commitments are secured by the underlying real estate collateral or pledges of equity interests in the borrowing entities.
19. Subsequent Events
A. Dividends
In April 2026, we declared a dividend of $0.2705 per share to our common stockholders, which will be paid in May 2026.
B. U.S. Core Plus Fund
On April 1, 2026, we called an additional $310.0 million of capital from third-party investors and redeemed $183.8 million of the Company's units, resulting in an indirect ownership of 26.8% in the Fund.
On April 30, 2026, the Fund borrowed $177.0 million under its unsecured delayed draw term loan and used the proceeds to repay borrowings under its unsecured revolving credit facility.
C. Note Issuance
In April 2026, we issued $800.0 million of 4.750% senior unsecured notes due April 2033 (the "Notes"). The public offering price for the Notes was 98.261% of the principal amount for an effective yield to maturity of 5.047%. Interest is paid semi-annually. In connection with the issuance, we executed a $500 million U.S. Dollar-to-Euro 7-year cross currency swap, resulting in approximately €436 million of proceeds and an effective fixed-rate, Euro-denominated yield to maturity of approximately 4.07% and coupon rate of 3.81%. On a combined basis, the Notes and related swap resulted in an effective blended yield to maturity of approximately 4.44% and blended coupon rate of 4.16%.
D. ATM Forward Offerings
As of May 6, 2026, we had outstanding forward sale agreements under our ATM program for a total of 23.6 million shares of common stock, representing expected net proceeds of approximately $1.4 billion (assuming full physical settlement of such agreements), of which 2.8 million shares were sold in April 2026.

Our total portfolio of 15,571 properties as of March 31, 2026 had a weighted average remaining lease term (excluding rights to extend a lease at the option of the client) of approximately 8.7 years. Total portfolio annualized base rent (defined as our pro-rata share of contractual monthly base rent for all leases in place and exchange rates as of the balance sheet date, multiplied by 12) on our leases as of March 31, 2026 was $5.23 billion.
As of March 31, 2026, approximately 32.0% of our total portfolio annualized base rent comes from properties leased to our investment grade clients, their subsidiaries or affiliated companies. As of March 31, 2026, our top 20 clients (based on percentage of total portfolio annualized base rent) represented approximately 35.3% of our annualized base rent and 12 of these clients have investment grade credit ratings or are subsidiaries or affiliates of investment grade companies.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
Increases in Monthly Dividends to Common Stockholders
We have continued our 57-year history of paying monthly dividends by increasing the dividend twice during 2026. As of May 2026, we have paid 114 consecutive quarterly dividend increases and increased the dividend 134 times since our listing on the NYSE in 1994.
2026 Dividend increases | Month Declared | Month Paid | Monthly Dividend per share | Increase per share | |||||||||||||||||||
| 1st increase | Dec 2025 | Jan 2026 | $ | 0.2700 | $ | 0.0005 | |||||||||||||||||
| 2nd increase | Mar 2026 | Apr 2026 | $ | 0.2705 | $ | 0.0005 | |||||||||||||||||
The dividends paid per share during the three months ended March 31, 2026 totaled $0.8100, as compared to $0.7960 during the three months ended March 31, 2025, an increase of $0.0140, or 1.8%.
The monthly dividend of $0.2705 per share represents a current annualized dividend of $3.246 per share, and an annualized dividend yield of 5.3% based on the last reported sale price of our common stock on the NYSE of $61.18 on March 31, 2026. Although we expect to continue our policy of paying monthly dividends, we cannot guarantee that we will maintain our current level of dividends, that we will continue our pattern of increasing dividends per share, or what our actual dividend yield will be in any future period.
Investments
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we invested $2.8 billion; our pro-rata share was $2.6 billion at an initial weighted average cash yield of 7.1%, including investments in 194 properties, properties under development or expansion, unconsolidated entities, and loans. See notes 3, Investments in Real Estate, 4, Investments in Unconsolidated Entities, and 5, Investments in Loans and Financing Receivables to the consolidated financial statements for further details.
Establishment of Joint Venture with Apollo
In March 2026, we established our Managed Insurance and Retirement Annuity investment platform as a vehicle to pursue various co-investment opportunities with institutional investors. In connection with this initiative, on March 31, we closed a $1.0 billion strategic investment from Apollo in exchange for a 49% interest in a newly formed joint venture which owns an existing portfolio of 492 retail properties contributed by the Company.
Establishment of Joint Venture with GIC
In January 2026, we established a strategic relationship with GIC, a leading global institutional investor, including the formation of a build-to-suit development joint venture with total combined commitments of over $1.5 billion.
-34-
Dispositions
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we sold 97 properties with total net proceeds received of $188.0 million.
Equity Capital Raising
As of May 6, 2026, we had outstanding forward sale agreements under our ATM program for a total of 23.6 million shares of common stock, representing expected net proceeds of approximately $1.4 billion, of which 2.8 million shares were sold in April 2026 (assuming full physical settlement of such agreements).
Note Issuance
In April 2026, we issued $800.0 million of 4.750% senior unsecured notes due April 2033. In connection with the offering, we executed a $500 million U.S. Dollar-to-Euro 7-year cross currency swap, resulting in approximately €436 million of proceeds and a blended coupon rate of 4.16%. See note 19, Subsequent Events, to the consolidated financial statements for further details.
Term Loan Issuance
In March 2026, we closed a $693.9 million unsecured term loan due January 2036 at a fixed rate of 4.91% and executed a cross-currency swap on $500.0 million of proceeds for approximately €431.0 million, achieving an effective blended borrowing rate of 4.34%.
Convertible Bond Issuance
In January 2026, we issued $862.5 million principal amount of 3.500% convertible senior notes due January 2029 in a private offering, resulting in net proceeds of $845.1 million. We used approximately $101.9 million of the net proceeds to repurchase approximately 1.8 million shares of our common stock concurrently with the pricing of the offering.
Portfolio Discussion
Leasing Results
As of March 31, 2026, we had 172 properties available for lease or sale out of 15,571 properties in our portfolio, which represents a 98.9% occupancy rate based on the number of properties in our portfolio. Our property-level occupancy rates exclude properties with ancillary leases only, such as cell towers and billboards, and properties with possession pending, and include properties owned by unconsolidated joint ventures. Below is a summary of our portfolio activity for the period indicated below:
Three months ended March 31, 2026 | |||||
Properties available for lease as of December 31, 2025 | 173 | ||||
Lease expirations (1) | 320 | ||||
| Re-leases to same client | (220) | ||||
| Re-leases to new client | (23) | ||||
| Vacant dispositions | (78) | ||||
Properties available for lease as of March 31, 2026 | 172 | ||||
(1)Includes scheduled and unscheduled expirations (including leases rejected in bankruptcy), as well as future expirations resolved in the period indicated above.
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the new annualized base rent on re-leased units was $73.3 million, as compared to the previous annual rent of $70.9 million on the same units, representing a rent recapture rate of 103.4% on the re-leased units.
As part of our re-leasing costs, we pay leasing commissions to unrelated, third-party real estate brokers consistent with the commercial real estate industry standard, and sometimes provide rent concessions to our clients. We do not consider the collective impact of the leasing commissions or rent concessions to our clients to be material to our financial position or results of operations.
Impact of Inflation
Leases generally provide for limited increases in rent as a result of fixed increases, increases in the consumer price index, retail price index in the case of certain leases in the U.K. (typically subject to ceilings), or increases in clients’ sales volumes. We expect that inflation will cause these lease provisions to result in rent increases over time.
-35-
During times when inflation is greater than increases in rent, as provided for in the leases, rent increases may not keep up with the rate of inflation and other costs.
Moreover, our strategic focus on the use of net lease agreements reduces our exposure to rising property expenses due to inflation because the client is responsible for property expenses. Even though the utilization of net leases reduces our exposure to rising property expenses due to inflation, substantial inflationary pressures and increased costs may have an adverse impact on our clients if increases in their operating expenses exceed increases in revenue, which may adversely affect our clients' ability to pay rent. Additionally, inflationary periods may cause us to experience increased costs of financing, make it difficult to refinance debt at attractive rates or at all, and may adversely affect the properties we can acquire if the cost of financing an acquisition is in excess of our anticipated earnings from such property, thereby limiting the properties that can be acquired.
Impact of Real Estate and Capital Markets
In the commercial real estate market, property prices generally continue to fluctuate. Likewise, during certain periods, the global capital markets have experienced significant price volatility, dislocations, and liquidity disruptions, which may impact our access to and cost of capital. We continually monitor the commercial real estate and global capital markets carefully and, if required, will make decisions to adjust our business strategy accordingly.
Impact of Current Macroeconomic Conditions
We monitor developments related to macroeconomic factors that could have an adverse impact on our business and our clients. Our clients face challenges that may differ from or be additional to challenges we face, including potential changes in consumer confidence levels, behavior and spending and increased operational expenses, including potential impacts from changes in global trade policies. The extent of the future effects on our business, results of operations, cash flows, and growth strategies is highly uncertain and will ultimately depend on future developments, none of which can be predicted.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our primary cash obligations are included in the “Material Cash Requirements” table, which is presented later in this section. We expect to fund our operating expenses and other short-term liquidity requirements, including property acquisitions and development costs, payment of principal and interest on our outstanding indebtedness, property improvements, re-leasing costs, and cash distributions to common stockholders, primarily through a combination of the following:
•Cash and cash equivalents;
•Future cash flows from operations;
•Issuances of common stock or debt, or other securities offerings;
•Additional borrowings under our credit facilities or commercial paper programs, which are backstopped by our credit facilities;
•Short-term loans;
•Asset dispositions; and
•Credit investment repayments.
In addition to these sources of liquidity, we manage and own our interest in our perpetual life U.S. Core Plus Fund (the "Fund"). On January 1, 2026, within our Fund, we called $638.0 million of capital from third-party investors and redeemed $408.2 million of the Company's units, resulting in an indirect ownership of 38.5% in the Fund. On April 1, 2026, we called an additional $310.0 million of capital from third-party investors and redeemed $183.8 million of the Company's units, resulting in an indirect ownership of 26.8% in the Fund. We seek to hold additional closings during the life of the Fund. In March 2026, we also established a strategic relationship with Apollo, a high-growth, global alternative asset manager, and closed on $1.0 billion of gross proceeds in exchange for Apollo’s acquisition of a 49% interest in a joint venture that indirectly owns a diversified net lease portfolio comprised entirely of single-tenant retail properties. We intend to evaluate other opportunities to raise private capital in the future, including potentially through additional funds and/or joint venture opportunities.
We believe that our cash and cash equivalents on hand, cash provided from operating activities, and borrowing capacity are sufficient to meet our liquidity needs for the next twelve months. We intend, however, to use permanent or long-term capital to fund property acquisitions and to repay future borrowings under our credit facilities and commercial paper programs.
-36-
Long-Term Liquidity Requirements
Our primary goal is to deliver dependable monthly dividends to stockholders that increase over time. Historically, we have met our principal short-term and long-term capital needs, including the funding of high-quality real estate acquisitions, investments in loans to clients, property development, and capital expenditures by issuing common stock, long-term unsecured notes, and term loan borrowings. While the issuance of common stock has historically been an important component of our capital structure, we continue to broaden and diversify our sources of capital to reduce reliance on the public capital markets. This approach enhances capital availability across market cycles, improves cost‑of‑capital certainty, and increases financial flexibility. However, there can be no assurance that our efforts will be successful.
Capitalization
As of March 31, 2026, our total capitalization was $87.8 billion. Total capitalization consisted of $57.2 billion of common equity (based on the March 31, 2026 closing price on the NYSE of $61.18 and assuming the conversion of 2.7 million common units of Realty Income, L.P.), and total outstanding borrowings of $30.5 billion on our credit facilities, commercial paper, term loans, mortgages payable, and senior unsecured notes and bonds and our proportionate share of joint venture debt (excluding unamortized deferred financing costs, discounts, and premiums).
Share Repurchase Program
We are authorized to repurchase up to $2.0 billion in shares of our common stock under our share repurchase program, which will expire in January 2028. Repurchases under the repurchase program may be made at management’s discretion from time to time using a variety of methods, which may include open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, Rule 10b5-1 plans or otherwise, all in accordance with the rules of the SEC and other applicable legal requirements. The repurchase program does not obligate us to acquire any particular amount of common stock, and the repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time at our discretion. In January 2026, we repurchased 1.8 million shares of our common stock for $101.9 million under the repurchase program.
ATM Program
As of March 31, 2026, we had outstanding forward-sale agreements under our ATM program for a total of 20.8 million shares of common stock, representing approximately $1.2 billion in expected net proceeds, which have been executed at a weighted average price of $58.63 per share (assuming full physical settlement of all outstanding shares of common stock, subject to such forward sale agreements and certain assumptions made with respect to settlement dates). Additionally, as of March 31, 2026, we had 132.9 million shares remaining for future issuance under our ATM program. We anticipate maintaining the availability of our ATM program in the future, including the replenishment of authorized shares issuable thereunder.
Debt Financing Activities
As of March 31, 2026, our total outstanding borrowings of credit facilities, commercial paper, term loans, mortgages payable, and senior unsecured notes and bonds were $30.0 billion, with a weighted average maturity of 5.4 years and a weighted average interest rate of 3.8%. As of March 31, 2026, approximately 92% of our total debt was fixed rate debt. See notes 6 through 8 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information about our outstanding debt, along with our debt financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2026 below.
Term Loan Issuance
In March 2026, we closed a $693.9 million unsecured term loan due January 2036 with an affiliate of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. at a fixed rate of 4.91% and executed a cross-currency swap on $500.0 million of proceeds for approximately €431.0 million, achieving an effective blended borrowing rate of 4.34%.
Convertible Bond Issuance
In January 2026, we issued $862.5 million principal amount of 3.500% convertible senior notes due January 2029 in a private offering, resulting in net proceeds of $845.1 million. We used approximately $101.9 million of the net proceeds to repurchase approximately 1.8 million shares of our common stock concurrently with the pricing of the offering. The notes are senior, unsecured obligations of Realty Income and accrue interest at a rate of 3.500% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears. The notes will mature on January 15, 2029, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted.

Note Issuance
In April 2026, we issued $800.0 million of 4.750% senior unsecured notes due April 2033. See note 19, Subsequent Events, to the consolidated financial statements for further details. In connection with the offering, we executed a $500 million U.S. Dollar-to-Euro 7-year cross currency swap, resulting in approximately €436 million of proceeds and a blended coupon rate of 4.16%. See note 19, Subsequent Events, to the consolidated financial statements for further details.
Note Repayments
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we repaid the following notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, upon maturity:
| 2026 Repayments | Date of Issuance | Maturity Date | Principal amount (in millions) | |||||||||||||||||
5.050% Notes | January 2023 | January 2026 | $ | 500.0 | ||||||||||||||||
0.750% Notes | December 2020 | March 2026 | $ | 325.0 | ||||||||||||||||
Note Covenants
The following is a summary of the key financial covenants for our senior unsecured notes, as defined and calculated per the terms of our senior notes and bonds. These calculations, which are not based on accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"), are presented to investors to show our ability to incur additional debt under the terms of our senior notes and bonds as well as to disclose our current compliance with such covenants and are not measures of our liquidity or performance. The actual amounts as of March 31, 2026, are:
Note Covenants | Required | Actual | ||||||
Limitation on incurrence of total debt | < 60% of adjusted assets | 41.4 | % | |||||
Limitation on incurrence of secured debt | < 40% of adjusted assets | 0.2 | % | |||||
Debt service and fixed charge coverage (trailing 12 months) (1) | > 1.5x | 4.7x | ||||||
Maintenance of total unencumbered assets | > 150% of unsecured debt | 242.5 | % | |||||
(1) Our debt service coverage ratio is calculated on a pro forma basis for the preceding four-quarter period on the assumptions that: (i) the incurrence of any Debt (as defined in the covenants) by us since the first day of such four-quarter period and the application of the proceeds therefrom (including to refinance other Debt since the first day of such four-quarter period), (ii) the repayment or retirement of any of our Debt since the first day of such four-quarter period, and (iii) any acquisition or disposition by us of any asset or group since the first day of such four quarters and subject to certain additional adjustments. Such pro forma ratio has been prepared on the basis required by that debt service covenant, reflects various estimates and assumptions and is subject to other uncertainties, and therefore does not purport to reflect what our actual debt service coverage ratio would have been had transactions referred to in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of the preceding sentence occurred as of the first day of four-quarter period, nor does it purport to reflect our debt service coverage ratio for any future period. Fixed charge coverage is calculated in the same manner as the debt service coverage. The following is our calculation of debt service and fixed charge coverage as of March 31, 2026 (in thousands, for trailing twelve months):
Net income attributable to the Company | $ | 1,120,542 | |||
Plus: interest expense, excluding the amortization of deferred financing costs | 1,126,716 | ||||
Plus: provision for taxes | 95,883 | ||||
Plus: depreciation and amortization | 2,545,540 | ||||
Plus: provisions for impairment | 484,014 | ||||
Plus: pro forma adjustments | 232,491 | ||||
Less: provisions for gains from sales or joint ventures | (190,746) | ||||
Income available for debt service, as defined | $ | 5,414,440 | |||
Total pro forma debt service charge | $ | 1,150,398 | |||
| Debt service and fixed charge coverage ratio | 4.7x | ||||
Credit Agency Ratings
The borrowing interest rates under our revolving credit facilities are based upon our ratings assigned by credit rating agencies. As of March 31, 2026, we were assigned the following investment grade corporate credit ratings on our senior unsecured notes and bonds: Moody’s Investors Service has assigned a rating of A3 with a “stable” outlook and Standard & Poor’s Ratings Group has assigned a rating of A- with a “stable” outlook. In addition, we were assigned the following ratings on our commercial paper as of March 31, 2026: Moody's Investors Service has assigned a rating of P-2 and Standard & Poor's Ratings Group has assigned a rating of A-2.
-38-
Based on our credit rating agency ratings as of March 31, 2026, our credit facilities provide for (i) USD borrowings at Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") plus 0.725% and (ii) British Pound Sterling ("GBP") borrowings at the Sterling Overnight Indexed Average (“SONIA”) plus 0.725%, and (iii) Euro ("EUR") borrowings at a benchmark rate selected in accordance with the credit agreement. A revolving credit facility commitment fee of 0.125% is payable on the total commitment amount. The credit agreement also provides flexibility to elect different interest rate tenors or daily rate options for each currency tranche.
In addition, our credit facilities provide that the interest rates can range between: (i) SOFR/SONIA/Euro Interbank Offered Rate (“EURIBOR”), plus 1.40% if our credit rating is lower than BBB-/Baa3 or our senior unsecured debt is unrated and (ii) SOFR/SONIA/EURIBOR, plus 0.70% if our credit rating is A/A2 or higher. In addition, our credit facilities provide for a facility commitment fee based on our credit ratings, which ranges from: (i) 0.30% for a rating lower than BBB-/Baa3 or unrated, and (ii) 0.10% for a credit rating of A/A2 or higher.
We also issue senior debt securities from time to time and our credit ratings can impact the interest rates charged in those transactions. If our credit ratings or ratings outlook change, our cost to obtain debt financing could increase or decrease. The credit ratings assigned to us could change based upon, among other things, our results of operations and financial condition. These ratings are subject to ongoing evaluation by credit rating agencies, and we cannot assure you that our ratings will not be changed or withdrawn by a rating agency in the future if, in its judgment, circumstances warrant. Moreover, a rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold our debt securities or common stock.

(1) The initial terms of the RI Credit Facilities expire in April 2027 and April 2029 and include, at our option, two six-month extensions. The initial term of the Fund Credit Facilities expires in April 2029 and includes, at our option, two six-month extensions.
(2) Commercial paper programs outstanding were $414.9 million, maturing between April 2026 and June 2026.
(3) Interest on the commercial paper programs, term loans, mortgages payable, and senior unsecured notes and bonds has been calculated based on outstanding balances at period end through their respective maturity dates.
(4) We currently pay the ground lessors directly for the rent under certain ground lease arrangements.
(5) Our clients, who are generally sub-tenant clients under ground leases, are responsible for paying the rent under these ground leases.

In addition to the contractual obligation presented above, as of March 31, 2026, we had approximately $390.1 million of unfunded loan commitments related to certain loan investments. These commitments are not reflected in the table above, as the timing of the funding is dependent on borrower request and the satisfaction of customary conditions, and therefore cannot be reasonably estimated by period. See Note 18 Commitments and Contingencies to the consolidated financial statements for further details.
Investments in Unconsolidated Entities
As of March 31, 2026, our pro-rata share of secured debt of unconsolidated entities was approximately $659.2 million.

DIVIDEND POLICY
Distributions are paid monthly to holders of shares of our common stock.
Distributions are paid monthly to the limited partners holding common units of Realty Income, L.P., each on a per unit basis that is equal to the amount paid per share to our common stockholders (subject to the adjustment factor applicable to those units at the time of such distribution).
In order to maintain our status as a real estate investment trust ("REIT") for federal income tax purposes, we generally are required to distribute dividends to our stockholders aggregating annually at least 90% of our taxable income (excluding net capital gains), and we are subject to income tax to the extent we distribute less than 100% of our taxable income (including net capital gains). In 2025, our cash distributions to common stockholders totaled $2.92 billion, or approximately 159.0% of our estimated taxable income of $1.84 billion. Certain measures are available to us to reduce or eliminate our tax exposure as a REIT, and accordingly, no provision for U.S. federal income taxes, other than our taxable REIT subsidiaries (each, a "TRS"), has been made. Our estimated taxable income reflects non-cash deductions for depreciation and amortization. Our estimated taxable income is presented to show our compliance with REIT dividend requirements and is not a measure of our liquidity or operating performance. We intend to continue to make distributions to our stockholders that are sufficient to meet this dividend requirement and that will reduce or eliminate our exposure to income taxes. Furthermore, we believe our cash on hand and funds from operations are sufficient to support our current level of cash distributions to our stockholders. We distributed $0.81 per share to stockholders during the three months ended March 31, 2026, representing 71.7% of our diluted Adjusted Funds from Operations Available to Common Stockholders ("AFFO") per share of $1.13.
Future distributions will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend on, among other things, our results of operations, Funds from Operations Available to Common Stockholders ("FFO"), Normalized Funds from Operations Available to Common Stockholders ("Normalized FFO"), AFFO, cash flow from operations, financial condition, capital requirements, the annual distribution requirements under the REIT provisions of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), our debt service requirements, and any other factors the Board of Directors may deem relevant. In addition, our RI Credit Facilities contain financial covenants that could limit the amount of distributions payable by us in the event of a default, and which prohibit the payment of distributions on our common stock in the event that we fail to pay when due (subject to any applicable grace period) any principal or interest on borrowings under our RI Credit Facilities.
Distributions of our current and accumulated earnings and profits for federal income tax purposes generally will be taxable to stockholders as ordinary income, except to the extent that we recognize capital gains and declare a capital gains dividend, or that such amounts constitute “qualified dividend income” subject to a reduced rate of tax. The maximum tax rate of non-corporate taxpayers for “qualified dividend income” is generally 20%. In general, dividends payable by REITs are not eligible for the reduced tax rate on qualified dividend income, except to the extent that certain holding requirements have been met with respect to the REIT’s stock and the REIT’s dividends are attributable to dividends received from certain taxable corporations (such as our TRSs) or to income that was subject to tax at the corporate or REIT level (for example, if we distribute taxable income that we retained and paid tax on in the prior taxable year). However, non-corporate stockholders, including individuals, generally may deduct up to 20% of dividends from a REIT, other than capital gain dividends and dividends treated as qualified dividend income.
Distributions in excess of earnings and profits generally will first be treated as a non-taxable reduction in the stockholders’ basis in their stock, but not below zero. Distributions in excess of that basis generally will be taxable as a capital gain to stockholders. Approximately 33.6% of the distributions to our common stockholders, made or deemed to have been made in 2025, were classified as a return of capital for federal income tax purposes.

(1)For purposes of comparability, same store rental revenue is presented on a constant currency basis using the exchange rate as of March 31, 2026.
(2)Relates to the aggregate of (i) rental revenue from 262 properties that were available for lease during part of 2026 or 2025 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and (ii) rental revenue for 103 properties under development or completed developments that do not meet our same store pool definition for the three months ended March 31, 2026.
(3)"Other excluded revenue" primarily consists of reimbursements related to lease termination fees and other settlement income.
For purposes of determining the same store rent property pool, we include all properties that were owned for the entire year-to-date period, for both the current and prior year, except for properties during the current or prior year that; (i) were vacant at any time, (ii) were under development or redevelopment, or (iii) were involved in eminent domain and rent was reduced. Each of the exclusions from the same store pool are separately addressed within the applicable sentences above, explaining the changes in rental revenue for the period.
Of the 17,426 in-place leases in the portfolio, 13,972, or 80.2%, were under leases that provide for increases in rents through: base rent increases tied to inflation (typically subject to ceilings), percentage rent based on a percentage of the clients’ gross sales, fixed increases, or a combination of two or more of the aforementioned rent provisions.
Rent based on a percentage of our clients' gross sales, or percentage rent, was $4.2 million and $5.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Percentage rent represents less than 1% of rental revenue.
As of March 31, 2026, our portfolio of 15,571 properties was 98.9% leased with 172 properties available for lease or sale, as compared to 98.5% leased with 231 properties available for lease as of March 31, 2025. It has been our experience that approximately 1% to 4% of our property portfolio will be available for lease at any given time; however, it is possible that the number of properties available for lease or sale could increase in the future, given the nature of economic cycles and other unforeseen global events.
-41-
Rental Revenue (reimbursements)
A number of our leases provide for contractually obligated reimbursements from clients for recoverable real estate taxes and operating expenses. Contractually obligated reimbursements by our clients increased by $10.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to the same period in 2025, primarily due to higher reimbursable property taxes and maintenance due to growth in our portfolio.
Interest Income on Financing Receivables
Interest income on financing receivables decreased by $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to the same period in 2025, primarily due to lower interest income on certain sale-leaseback transactions.
Interest and Dividend Income on Loans and Preferred Equity Investments
Interest and dividend income on loans and preferred equity investments increased by $35.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to the same period in 2025, primarily driven by growth in our loan and preferred equity portfolio.
Other Revenue
Other revenue increased by $5.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to the same period in 2025, primarily due to higher solar electricity tax credits received during the quarter.

Interest expense increased by $23.6 million, or 8.8%, for the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to the same period in 2025, primarily due to higher average borrowings in 2026, as well as higher amortization of mortgage and note premiums and discounts and deferred financing costs. See notes to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding our indebtedness.
Property Expenses (excluding reimbursements)
Property expenses (excluding reimbursements) consist of costs associated with properties available for lease, non-net-leased properties and general portfolio expenses and include, but are not limited to, property taxes, maintenance, insurance, utilities, property inspections and legal fees.
Property expenses (excluding reimbursements) increased by $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to the same period in 2025, primarily due to the volume of asset acquisitions during the period resulting in higher repairs and maintenance costs, offset by lower insurance premiums.
Property Expenses (reimbursements)
Property expenses (reimbursements) consist of property taxes and operating costs paid on behalf of our clients. Property expenses (reimbursements) increased by $10.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to the same period in 2025, primarily due to higher reimbursable property taxes and maintenance due to growth in our portfolio.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses are expenditures related to the operations of our company, including employee-related costs, professional fees, and other general overhead costs associated with running our business.
General and administrative expenses increased by $14.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to the same period in 2025, primarily due to higher employee costs as we continue to invest in our people and our platform.
Provisions for Impairment
The following table summarizes our provisions for impairment during the periods indicated below (in thousands):

| Provisions for impairment | $ | 129,268 | $ | 116,589 | $ | 12,679 | |||||||||||
-43-
Provisions for impairment of real estate decreased by $7.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to the same period in 2025. The decrease is primarily due to larger impairments recorded in 2025 related to properties leased to clients in bankruptcy. The impairment charges in the current period primarily relate to properties that are vacant or more likely than not to be sold over the next twelve months.
Provisions for credit losses increased by $19.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to the same period in 2025, primarily due to higher initial expected credit losses on loans acquired during the three months ended March 31, 2026.
Merger, Transaction, and Other Costs, Net
Merger, transaction, and other costs, net increased by $10.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared with the same period in 2025, primarily due to expensed acquisition costs and placement fees incurred in fundraising for the Fund.

Foreign Currency and Derivative Loss, Net
We borrow in the functional currencies of the countries in which we invest. Net foreign currency gain and loss are primarily related to the remeasurement of intercompany debt from foreign subsidiaries and outstanding borrowings denominated in the local currencies we invest in. Derivative gain and loss are primarily related to mark-to-market adjustments on derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting and settlement of designated derivatives reclassified from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income ("AOCI").
Foreign currency and derivative loss, net increased by $14.5 million, primarily due to the impact of foreign currency fluctuations on our foreign-denominated assets and liabilities, as well as derivative instruments we executed to reduce the effect of these fluctuations.
Equity in Earnings of Unconsolidated Entities
Equity in earnings of unconsolidated entities decreased by $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to the same period in 2025, primarily attributable to a gain on sale from an easement within our data center joint venture recorded in 2025 with no comparable gain recorded in 2026.
Other Income, Net
Other income, net increased by $7.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to the same period in 2025, primarily due to a non-recurring insurance commutation gain realized during the quarter.
Income Taxes
Income taxes primarily consist of international income taxes accrued or paid by us and our subsidiaries, as well as state and local taxes. The increase of $10.5 million in income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to the same period in 2025 is primarily attributable to higher taxable income in the U.K. and Europe.

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests increased by $7.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to the same period in 2025, primarily attributable to the launch of the Fund in the fourth quarter of 2025.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
Adjusted Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization for Real Estate ("Adjusted EBITDAre")
Nareit established an EBITDA metric for real estate companies (i.e., EBITDA for real estate, or EBITDAre) it believed would provide investors with a consistent measure to help make investment decisions among certain REITs. Our definition of “Adjusted EBITDAre” is generally consistent with the Nareit definition, other than our adjustment to remove foreign currency and derivative gain and loss and merger, transaction, and other costs, net. We define Adjusted EBITDAre, a non-GAAP financial measure, for the most recent quarter as earnings (net income) before (i) interest expense, (ii) income taxes, (iii) depreciation and amortization, (iv) executive severance charge, (v) provisions for impairment, (vi) merger, transaction, and other costs, net, (vii) gain on sales of real estate, (viii) foreign currency and derivative gain and loss, net, and (ix) equity in earnings of unconsolidated entities. Our Adjusted EBITDAre may not be comparable to Adjusted EBITDAre reported by other companies or as defined by Nareit, and other companies may interpret or define Adjusted EBITDAre differently than we do. Management believes Adjusted EBITDAre to be a meaningful measure of a REIT’s performance because it provides a view of our operating performance, analyzes our ability to meet interest payment obligations before the effects of income tax, depreciation and amortization expense, provisions for impairment, gain on sales of real estate and other items, as defined above, that affect comparability, including the removal of non-recurring and non-cash items that industry observers believe are less relevant to evaluating the operating performance of a company. In addition, EBITDAre is widely followed by industry analysts, lenders, investors, rating agencies, and others as a means of evaluating the operating performance of business activities prior to servicing debt obligations. Management also believes the use of an Annualized Adjusted EBITDAre metric is meaningful because it represents our current earnings run rate for the period presented. Adjusted EBITDAre should be considered along with, but not as an alternative to net income as a measure of our operating performance. We define Annualized Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDAre as Annualized Adjusted EBITDAre, subject to certain adjustments to incorporate Adjusted EBITDAre from investments we acquired or stabilized during the applicable quarter and Adjusted EBITDAre from investments we disposed of during the applicable quarter, and include transaction accounting adjustments in accordance with U.S. GAAP, giving pro forma effect to all transactions as if they occurred at the beginning of the applicable quarter. Our calculation includes all adjustments consistent with the requirements to present Annualized Adjusted EBITDAre on a pro forma basis in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X. We believe Annualized Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDAre is a useful non-GAAP supplemental measure, as it excludes investments that were no longer owned at the balance sheet date and includes the annualized base rent from investments acquired during the quarter. Management also uses our ratio of Net Debt/Annualized Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDAre as measures of leverage in assessing our financial performance, which is calculated as net debt (which we define as total debt, excluding deferred financing costs and net discounts, less consolidated cash and cash equivalents), divided by Annualized Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDAre. The ratio of our net debt to our Annualized Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDAre is also used to determine vesting of performance share awards granted to our executive officers.

FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS AVAILABLE TO COMMON STOCKHOLDERS AND NORMALIZED FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS AVAILABLE TO COMMON STOCKHOLDERS
We define FFO, a non-GAAP measure, consistent with the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts' definition, as net income available to common stockholders, plus depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, plus provisions for impairments of depreciable real estate assets, and reduced by gain on property sales. We define Normalized FFO, a non-GAAP financial measure, as FFO excluding merger, transaction, and other costs, net. We define diluted FFO and diluted normalized FFO as FFO and normalized FFO adjusted for dilutive noncontrolling interests.
The following summarizes our FFO and Normalized FFO (in millions, except per share data):

(1) All per share amounts are presented on a diluted per common share basis.
We consider FFO and Normalized FFO to be appropriate supplemental measures of a REIT’s operating performance as they are based on a net income analysis of property portfolio performance that adds back items such as depreciation and impairments for FFO, and adds back merger, transaction, and other costs, net, for Normalized FFO. The historical accounting convention used for real estate assets requires straight-line depreciation of buildings and improvements, which implies that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values historically rise and fall with market conditions, presentations of operating results for a REIT, using historical accounting for depreciation, could be less informative.

ADJUSTED FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS AVAILABLE TO COMMON STOCKHOLDERS
We define AFFO, a non-GAAP measure, as FFO adjusted for unique revenue and expense items, which we believe are not as pertinent to the measurement of our ongoing operating performance. We define diluted AFFO as AFFO adjusted for dilutive noncontrolling interests.
The following summarizes our AFFO (in millions, except per share data):
| Three months ended March 31, | |||||||||||||||||
| 2026 | 2025 | % Change | |||||||||||||||
AFFO available to common stockholders | $ | 1,057.6 | $ | 949.7 | 11.4 | % | |||||||||||
AFFO per common share (1) | $ | 1.13 | $ | 1.06 | 6.6 | % | |||||||||||
(1) All per share amounts are presented on a diluted per common share basis.
We consider AFFO to be an appropriate supplemental measure of our performance. Most companies in our industry use a similar measurement, but they may use the term “CAD” (for Cash Available for Distribution), “FAD” (for Funds Available for Distribution) or other terms. Our AFFO calculations may not be comparable to AFFO, CAD or FAD reported by other companies, and other companies may interpret or define such terms differently than we do.
We believe the non-GAAP financial measure AFFO provides useful information to investors because it is a widely accepted industry measure of the operating performance of real estate companies that is used by industry analysts and investors who look at and compare those companies. In particular, AFFO provides an additional measure to compare the operating performance of different REITs without having to account for differing depreciation assumptions and other unique revenue and expense items which are not pertinent to measuring a particular company’s on-going operating performance. Therefore, we believe that AFFO is an appropriate supplemental performance metric, and that the most appropriate U.S. GAAP performance metric to which AFFO should be reconciled is net income available to common stockholders. Presentation of the information regarding FFO, Normalized FFO, and AFFO is intended to assist the reader in comparing the operating performance of different REITs, although it should be noted that not all REITs calculate FFO, Normalized FFO, and AFFO in the same way, so comparisons with other REITs may not be meaningful. Furthermore, FFO, Normalized FFO, and AFFO are not necessarily indicative of cash flow available to fund cash needs and should not be considered as alternatives to net income as an indication of our performance. FFO, Normalized FFO, and AFFO should not be considered as alternatives to reviewing our cash flows from operating, investing, and financing activities. In addition, FFO, Normalized FFO, and AFFO should not be considered as measures of liquidity, our ability to make cash distributions, or our ability to pay interest payments.

PROPERTY PORTFOLIO INFORMATION
As of March 31, 2026, most of the properties in our portfolio were leased under net lease agreements. A net lease typically requires the client to be responsible for monthly rent and certain property operating expenses including property taxes, insurance, and maintenance. In addition, clients of our properties typically pay rent increases based on: (1) fixed increases, (2) increases tied to inflation (typically subject to ceilings), or (3) additional rent calculated as a percentage of the clients' gross sales above a specified level.
We define total portfolio annualized base rent as our pro-rata share of contractual monthly base rent for all leases in place and exchange rates as of the balance sheet date, multiplied by 12, and excluding percentage rent and income on loans and preferred equity investments. If there is a rent abatement, we annualize the first monthly contractual base rent following the free rent period. Total annualized base rent has not been reduced to reflect reserves recorded as reductions to GAAP rental revenue in the periods presented. We believe total annualized base rent is a useful supplemental operating measure, as it excludes properties that were no longer owned at the balance sheet date and includes the annualized rent from properties acquired during the quarter.
Top 20 Industry Concentrations
We are engaged in a single business activity, which is the leasing of property to clients, generally on a net lease basis. That business activity spans various geographic boundaries and includes property types and clients engaged in various industries. Even though we have a single segment, we believe our investors continue to view diversification as a key component of our investment philosophy and so we believe it remains important to present certain information regarding our property portfolio classified according to the business of the respective clients, expressed as a percentage of our total portfolio annualized base rent:

IMPACT OF RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
For information on the impact of new accounting standards on our consolidated financial statements, see note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to our Consolidated Financial Statements.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and are the basis for our discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations. Preparing our consolidated financial statements requires us to make a number of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. We believe that we have made these estimates and assumptions in an appropriate manner and in a way that accurately reflects our financial condition. We continually test and evaluate these estimates and assumptions using our historical knowledge of the business, as well as other factors, to ensure that they are reasonable for reporting purposes. However, actual results may differ from these estimates and assumptions. There have been no material changes to the Critical Accounting Policies disclosed in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. This summary should be read in conjunction with the more complete discussion of our accounting policies and procedures included in note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to our consolidated financial statements in our annual report.
Item 3: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
We are exposed to economic risks from interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. A portion of these risks is hedged, but the risks may affect our financial statements.
Interest Rates
We are exposed to interest rate changes primarily as a result of our revolving credit facilities and commercial paper programs, term loans, mortgages payable, and long-term notes and bonds used to maintain liquidity and expand our real estate investment portfolio and operations. Our interest rate risk management objective is to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flow and to lower our overall borrowing costs. To achieve these objectives, we primarily issue long-term notes and bonds, primarily at fixed rates.
In order to mitigate and manage the effects of interest rate risks on our operations, we may utilize a variety of financial instruments, including interest rate swaps, interest rate swaptions, interest rate locks and caps. The use of these types of instruments to hedge our exposure to changes in interest rates carries additional risks, including counterparty credit risk, the enforceability of hedging contracts and the risk that unanticipated and significant changes in interest rates will cause a significant loss of basis in the contract. To limit counterparty credit risk, we will seek to enter into such agreements with major financial institutions with favorable credit ratings. There can be no assurance that we will be able to adequately protect against the foregoing risks or realize an economic benefit that exceeds the related amounts incurred in connection with engaging in such hedging activities. We do not enter into any derivative transactions for speculative or trading purposes.
The following table presents, by year of expected maturity, the principal amounts, average interest rates and estimated fair values of our fixed and variable rate debt as of March 31, 2026. This information is presented to evaluate the expected cash flows and sensitivity to interest rate changes.

Expected Maturity Data
The following table summarizes the maturity of our debt as of March 31, 2026 (dollars in millions):
| Consolidated Fixed Rate Debt | Consolidated Variable Rate Debt | End of Period Interest Rate (3) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Total (1) | $ | 2,383.4 | $ | 37.5 | $ | 25,228.6 | $ | 27,649.5 | $ | 1,769.2 | $ | 125.0 | $ | 414.9 | $ | 29,958.6 | 3.88% | 3.42% | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

(1)Excludes net discounts recorded on mortgages payable, net discounts recorded on notes payable, and deferred financing costs on term loans, mortgages payable, and notes payable.
(2)We base the estimated fair value of our fixed rate mortgages and private senior notes payable as of March 31, 2026, on the relevant forward interest rate curve, plus an applicable credit-adjusted spread. We base the estimated fair value of the publicly traded fixed rate senior notes and bonds as of March 31, 2026, on the indicative market prices and recent trading activity of our senior notes and bonds payable. We believe that the carrying values of the credit facilities, commercial paper borrowings, and term loans reasonably approximate their estimated fair values as of March 31, 2026.
(3)Calculated as the weighted average interest rate as of March 31, 2026. The weighted average interest rates reflect the effective fixed rate for floating rate debt that is fixed through interest rate swaps.
(4)In connection with our merger with Spirit in January 2024, we effectively assumed Spirit’s existing term loans and fixed rate swaps, which carry a weighted average fixed interest rate of 3.3% for our term loan maturing in August 2027. In November 2025, we entered into interest rate swaps, which fixed our per annum interest rate at 4.3% for our term loan initially maturing in January 2028. In March 2026, we closed a $693.9 million unsecured term loan due January 2036 at a fixed rate of 4.9%. Concurrently, we executed a cross-currency swap on $500.0 million of proceeds for approximately €431.0 million, achieving an effective blended borrowing rate of 4.34%.
The table above incorporates only those exposures that exist as of March 31, 2026. It does not consider those exposures or positions that could arise after that date. As a result, our ultimate realized gain or loss, with respect to interest rate fluctuations, would depend on the exposures that arise during the period, our hedging strategies at the time, and interest rates.
As of March 31, 2026, our outstanding mortgages payable, notes, and bonds had fixed interest rates. Interest on our credit facilities and commercial paper borrowings and term loans is variable. However, the variable interest rate feature on certain term loans has been mitigated by interest rate swap agreements, while one term loan bears a fixed contractual rate. As of March 31, 2026, a 1% change in interest rates on our variable-rate debt would change our interest rate costs by $23.1 million.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rates
We are exposed to foreign currency exchange variability related to investments in and earnings from our foreign investments. Foreign currency market risk is the possibility that our results of operations or financial position could be better or worse than planned because of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. We primarily hedge our foreign currency risk by borrowing in the currencies in which we invest thereby providing a natural hedge. We continuously evaluate and manage our foreign currency risk through the use of derivative financial instruments, including currency exchange swaps, and foreign currency forward contracts with financial counterparties where practicable. Such derivative instruments are viewed as risk management tools and are not used for speculative or trading purposes. Additionally, our inability to redeploy rent receipts from our international operations on a timely basis subjects us to foreign exchange risk.

Item 4: Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
We carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2026, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer.
Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of March 31, 2026 our disclosure controls and procedures were effective and were operating at a reasonable assurance level.
Changes in Internal Controls
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2026, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls
Internal control over financial reporting cannot provide absolute assurance of achieving financial reporting objectives because of its inherent limitations. Internal control over financial reporting is a process that involves human diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgment and breakdowns resulting from human failures. Internal control over financial reporting also can be circumvented by collusion or improper management override. Because of such limitations, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1A: Risk Factors
You should carefully consider the risks described in "Item 1A, Risk Factors" in Part I of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, as our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected by any of the risks and uncertainties described therein. There have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
