    Jason Wayne's questions to REALTY INCOME (O) leadership • Q2 2025

    Question

    Jason Wayne of Barclays asked for a breakdown of the increase in lease expirations by cause, such as bankruptcies, and inquired about the portfolio's exposure to Family Dollar after its separation from Dollar Tree.

    Answer

    CEO Sumit Roy did not provide a specific breakdown but noted a high 93% renewal rate suggests natural expirations were the main driver. He clarified that post-separation, the combined exposure is about 3% (2% Family Dollar, 1% Dollar Tree), with minimal near-term risk as only 10 basis points of leases for each brand expire through 2026.

    Jason Wayne's questions to W. P. Carey (WPC) leadership • Q1 2025

    Question

    Jason Wayne inquired about the reasons for the sequential decline in same-store growth in Europe, asking if it was driven by changes in the property pool or lease escalator structures.

    Answer

    CFO ToniAnn Sanzone attributed the change primarily to moderating CPI. She explained that a majority of leases have rent bumps in the first quarter based on prior months' inflation data, which had been trending lower. The decline was therefore more a function of lower inflation than any specific tenant or property-type issue.
