REALTY INCOME CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

~~September 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020

(unaudited)


1.	~~Management Statement~~Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements of Realty Income Corporation (“Realty Income”, the “Company”, “we”, “our” or “us”) were prepared from our books and records without audit and include all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary to present a fair statement of results for the interim periods presented. Readers of this quarterly report should refer to our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, ~~2018,~~2019, which are included in our ~~2018~~2019 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. Unless otherwise indicated, all dollar amounts are expressed in United States (U.S.) dollars.

At ~~September 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 we owned ~~5,964~~6,525 properties, located in 49 U.S. states, Puerto Rico and the United Kingdom (U.K.), consisting of ~~over 100.5~~approximately 106.0 million leasable square feet.

2.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Procedures and Recent Accounting Pronouncements

A. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Realty Income and other subsidiaries for which we make operating and financial decisions (i.e., control), after elimination of all material intercompany balances and transactions. We consolidate entities that we control and record a noncontrolling interest for the portion that we do not own. Noncontrolling interest that was created or assumed as part of a business combination or asset acquisition was recognized at fair value as of the date of the transaction (see note 10). We have no unconsolidated investments.

B. We have elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. 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, we generally will not be required to pay federal corporate 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. The income taxes recorded on our consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income represent amounts paid by Realty Income and its subsidiaries for city and state income and franchise taxes and for U.K. income taxes.

C. ~~We assign a portion~~The COVID-19 pandemic and the measures taken to limit its spread are negatively impacting the economy across many industries, including the industries in which some of ~~goodwill to~~ our ~~applicable property sales, which results~~tenants operate. These impacts may continue and increase in ~~a reduction~~severity as the duration of the ~~carrying amount~~pandemic lengthens, which may, in turn, adversely impact the fair value estimates of our ~~goodwill. In order to allocate goodwill to the carrying amount~~real estate and recording of ~~properties that~~impairments on our properties. As a result, we ~~sell, we utilize a relative~~are evaluating certain key assumptions involving fair value ~~approach based~~estimates of our real estate. We continue to evaluate the potential impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and the measures taken to limit its spread on our business and industry segments, as the situation continues to evolve and more information becomes available. However, as of March 31, 2020, we have determined that the COVID-19 pandemic and the measures taken to limit its spread have not had a material impact on our consolidated financial statements as of and for period ended March 31, 2020. Based on the ~~original methodology~~status of our business operations as of March 31, 2020, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we expect to remain in compliance with the financial covenants for ~~assigning goodwill. As we sell properties,~~ our ~~goodwill will likely continue to gradually decrease~~unsecured notes and credit facility over ~~time. Based on our analysis of goodwill during~~ the ~~second quarters of 2019 and 2018, respectively, we determined there was 0 impairment on our existing goodwill.~~next 12 months.

~~D. In February 2016,~~On April 8, 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, ~~issued ASU 2016-02 (Topic 842,~~ ~~Leases), which amended Topic 840,~~ ~~Leases. Under this amended topic,~~staff and FASB board members responded to questions about the accounting ~~applied by a lessor is largely unchanged from that applied~~for COVID-19 related rent concessions under Topic ~~840,~~842, Leases. The ~~large~~accounting for these rent concessions under Topic 842 depends on the enforceable rights and obligations of the parties under the original lease contract (including those arising from the laws of the jurisdiction governing the lease contract) and the nature of any changes to the terms and conditions of the contract. If a rent concession under these circumstances is required by the original lease contract (e.g. by a force majeure clause), the concession will generally be accounted for as a variable lease payment. In contrast, if the lessor is under no obligation to grant a rent concession, the lessor’s agreement to grant one should be accounted for as a lease modification.

The FASB staff has provided clarifying guidance for leases where the total lease cash flows will remain substantially the same or less than those after the COVID-19 related effects, though companies may choose to forgo the evaluation of the enforceable rights and obligations of the original lease contract as a practical expedient. Instead, the company would account for rent concessions, whatever their form (e.g. rent deferral, abatement or other), either (1) as if they are part of the enforceable rights and obligations of the parties under the existing lease contract; or (2) as a lease modification. If accounting for a concession as a lease modification, the full lease modification requirements under Topic 842 apply. Under either policy election, we must continue to assess the probability of collecting substantially all of the lease payments to which we are entitled under the original lease contract as required under Topic 842. If we conclude collection of substantially all lease payments is less than probable, rental revenue recognized is limited to cash received and existing operating lease receivables must be written off as an adjustment to rental revenue.

We assess collectability of our future lease payments based on an analysis of creditworthiness, economic trends, including the COVID-19 pandemic, and other facts and circumstances related to the applicable tenants. As we collect the majority of our rent in advance and at this time we do not have any tenant specific information that would change our assessment that collection of substantially all of the future lease payments under our existing leases ~~remain classified as operating leases,~~is probable, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our tenants' ability to pay rent did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2020. However, since the conversations regarding rent collections for tenants affected by COVID-19 are ongoing we do not currently know the types of concessions, if any, that will ultimately be granted and, we continue to recognize lease income on a generally straight-line basis over the lease term. Although primarily a lessor, we are also a lessee under several ground lease arrangements. We adopted this standard effective as of January 1, 2019 using the effective date method, and elected the practical expedients available for implementation under the standard. As a result, we recognize lease obligations for ground leases designated as operating and financing leases with corresponding right of use assets and liabilities (see note 3). Additionally, above-market rents on certain of our leases under which we are a lessor are accounted for as financing receivables amortizing over the lease term, and below-market rents on certain of our leases under which we are a lessor are accounted for as prepaid rent (see note 3). Also, as a result, have not yet made an election to proceed with option (1) or (2) above.

D. During the first three months of 2020, we reclassified 'Real estate held for sale, net', which was previously presented in 'Net real estate', into a new caption entitled 'Real estate and lease intangibles held for sale, net'. The reclassification out of 'Net real estate' incorporates intangibles held for sale into a more appropriate presentation of the ~~adoption of this standard, tenant reimbursable revenue and property expenses~~held for sale caption. Intangibles held for investment are ~~now presented on a gross basis as both tenant reimbursement revenue~~ included in ~~rental revenue,~~the captions entitled 'Lease intangible assets, net' and ~~as a reimbursable expense included~~'Lease intangible liabilities, net' in ~~property expenses, respectively, on our~~the consolidated ~~statements of income and comprehensive income. Property taxes and insurance paid directly by the lessee~~balance sheets. The December 31, 2019 balance sheet has been reclassified to a third party will continue to be presented on a net basis. These presentation changes had no impact on our results of operations. As a result, there was no restatement of prior issued financial statements and, similarly, no cumulative effect adjustment to opening

~~equity; however, we have elected to aggregate prior period tenant reimbursement revenue within rental revenue to be consistent with~~match the current period ~~presentation within the statements of income and comprehensive income.~~classification.

~~E. In connection with our acquisition of properties in the U.K. during the second quarter of 2019, we adopted accounting guidance applicable under Topic 830,~~ ~~Foreign Currency Matters~~. The functional currency of the U.K. subsidiaries holding the acquired properties is the British pound sterling. Assets and liabilities from our foreign-owned subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rate in effect at the consolidated balance sheet date. Equity accounts are translated at historical rates, except for retained earnings, whereas the impact is calculated via the income statement translation process. Revenue and expense accounts are translated using the weighted average exchange rates during the period. The cumulative translation adjustments from our U.K. subsidiaries are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income in the consolidated statements of equity. We have intercompany debt denominated in the British pound sterling, which is the same currency as the functional currency of our U.K. subsidiaries. When this debt is remeasured against the functional currency of the Company, which is the U.S. dollar, a gain or loss can result. Such transaction gains or losses realized upon settlement of a foreign currency transaction, which may include intercompany transactions, are included in net income under the caption ‘Foreign currency and derivative gains (losses), net'.

The initial average cash lease yield for a property is generally computed as estimated contractual first year cash net operating income, which, in the case of a net leased property, is equal to the aggregate cash base rent for the first full year of each lease, divided by the total cost of the property. Since it is possible that a tenant could default on the payment of contractual rent, we cannot provide assurance that the actual return on the funds invested will remain at the percentages listed above.

In the case of a property under development or expansion, the contractual lease rate is generally fixed such that rent varies based on the actual total investment in order to provide a fixed rate of return. When the lease does not provide for a fixed rate of return on a property under development or expansion, the initial average cash lease yield is computed as follows: estimated cash net operating income (determined by the lease) for the first full year of each lease, divided by our projected total investment in the property, including land, construction and capitalized interest costs.

B. Investments in Existing Properties

During the first ~~nine~~three months of ~~2019,~~2020, we capitalized costs of ~~$11.0~~$2.1 million on existing properties in our portfolio, consisting of ~~$1.9 million~~$138,000 for re-leasing costs ~~$577,000 for recurring capital expenditures~~ and ~~$8.5~~$2.0 million for non-recurring building improvements. In comparison, during the first ~~nine~~three months of ~~2018,~~2019, we capitalized costs of ~~$12.3~~$3.0 million on existing properties in our portfolio, consisting of ~~$2.8 million~~$323,000 for re-leasing costs, ~~$529,000~~$56,000 for recurring capital expenditures, and ~~$8.9~~$2.6 million for non-recurring building improvements.

C. Properties with Existing Leases

Of the ~~$2.0 billion~~$486.0 million we invested during the first ~~nine~~three months of ~~2019,~~2020, approximately ~~$1.23 billion~~$363.0 million was used to acquire ~~100~~39 properties with existing leases. In comparison, of the ~~$1.47 billion~~$519.5 million we invested during the first ~~nine~~three months of ~~2018,~~2019, approximately ~~$307.5~~$258.0 million was used to acquire ~~147~~53 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 first ~~nine~~three months of 2020 and 2019 ~~and 2018~~ were ~~$84.5~~$32.6 million and ~~$79.8~~$26.0 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 on 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 first ~~nine~~three months of 2020 and 2019 ~~and 2018~~ were ~~$14.3~~$8.2 million and

~~$12.4~~ $3.4 million, respectively. If a lease was to be terminated prior to its stated expiration, all unamortized amounts relating to that lease would be recorded to revenue or expense, as appropriate.

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 at ~~September 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 (dollars in thousands):

5.	Credit Facility

In August 2019, we amended and restated our unsecured credit facility, or our credit facility, in order to allow borrowings in multiple currencies under our revolving credit facility. The amended and restated credit agreement is otherwise substantively consistent with the prior credit agreement entered into in October 2018. Our credit facility consists ofWe have a $3.0 billion unsecured revolving credit facility with an initial term that expires in March 2023 and includes, at our option, 2 six-month ~~extensions and a $250.0 million unsecured term loan due March 2024.~~extensions. The revolving credit facility allows us to borrow in up to 14 currencies, including U.S. dollars, and has a $1.0 billion expansion ~~option.~~option, which is subject to obtaining lender commitments. Under our credit facility, our investment grade credit ratings as of ~~September 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 provide for financing at the London Interbank Offered Rate, commonly referred to as LIBOR, plus 0.775% with a facility commitment fee of 0.125%, for all-in drawn pricing of 0.90% over LIBOR. The borrowing rate is subject to an interest rate floor and may change if our investment grade credit ratings change. We also have other interest rate options available to us under our revolving credit facility. Our revolving credit facility is unsecured and, accordingly, we have not pledged any assets as collateral for this obligation.

At ~~September 30, 2019 and December~~March 31, ~~2018,~~2020, credit facility origination costs of ~~$12.3~~$10.3 million ~~and $14.2 million, respectively,~~ are included in other assets, net, as compared to $11.5 million at December 31, 2019, on our consolidated balance sheet. These costs are being amortized over the remaining term of our revolving credit facility.

At ~~September 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, we had 0a borrowing capacity of $2.4 billion available on our revolving credit facility (subject to customary conditions to borrowing) and an outstanding balance ~~on our $3.0 billion revolving credit facility,~~of $615.2 million, including £282.8 million Sterling, as compared to an outstanding balance of ~~$252.0~~$704.3 million, including £169.2 million Sterling, at December 31, ~~2018.~~2019.

On April 9, 2020, we borrowed an additional $1.2 billion on our revolving credit facility to increase our cash position to $1.25 billion as a conservative measure due to COVID-19. See Note 21, Subsequent Events.

The weighted average interest rate on outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility was ~~3.2%~~2.1% during the first ~~nine~~three months of ~~2019~~2020 and ~~2.8%~~3.3% during the first ~~nine~~three months of ~~2018.~~2019. At March 31, 2020 and December 31, ~~2018,~~2019, the weighted average interest rate on borrowings outstanding ~~borrowings~~ under our revolving credit facility was ~~3.2%.~~1.3% and 2.2%, respectively. Our revolving credit facility is subject to various leverage and interest coverage ratio limitations, and at ~~September 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, we were in compliance with the covenants on our revolving credit facility.


6.	Term Loans

In October 2018, in conjunction with entering into our current revolving credit facility, we entered into a $250.0 million senior unsecured term loan, which matures in March 2024. Borrowing under this term loan bears interest at the current one-month LIBOR, plus 0.85%. In conjunction with this term loan, we also entered into an interest rate swap, which effectively fixes our per annum interest on this term loan at 3.89%. ~~The terms of this term loan were not impacted by the amendment and restatement of our credit agreement in August 2019.~~

In June 2015, in conjunction with entering into our previous revolving credit facility, we entered into a $250.0 million senior unsecured term loan maturing in June 2020. Borrowing under this term loan bears interest at the current one-month LIBOR, plus 0.90%. In conjunction with this term loan, we also entered into an interest rate swap which effectively fixes our per annum interest rate on this term loan at 2.62%. ~~The terms~~Upon the maturity of this term loan, ~~were not impacted by the amendment and restatement of our credit agreement in August 2019.~~

~~In January 2013, in conjunction with our acquisition of American Realty Capital Trust, Inc., or ARCT,~~ we entered into a $70.0 million senior unsecured term loan with an initial maturity date of January 2018. Borrowing under this term loan bore interest at the current one-month LIBOR, plus 1.10%. In conjunction with this term loan, we also entered into an interest rate swap, which, until the interest rate swap's termination in January 2018, effectively fixed our per annum interest rate on this term loan at 2.05%. In 2018, we entered into 2 separate six–month extensions of this loan, during which periods the interest was born at the current one-month LIBOR, plus 0.90%. In January 2019, we paid offintend to either repay the outstanding principal ~~and interest~~with cash on ~~this~~hand, enter into an amendment to our current term loan, or enter into a new term loan.

Deferred financing costs of $1.2 million incurred in conjunction with the $250.0 million term loan maturing June 2020 and $1.1 million incurred in conjunction with the $250.0 million term loan maturing March 2024 are being amortized over the remaining terms of each respective term loan. The net balance of these deferred financing costs, which was ~~$1.1 million~~$849,000 at ~~September 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, and ~~$1.4 million~~$956,000 at December 31, ~~2018,~~2019, is included within term loans, net on our consolidated balance sheets.


7.	Mortgages Payable

During the first ~~nine~~three months of 2020, we made $1.7 million in principal payments. During the first three months of 2019, we made ~~$19.5~~$1.2 million in principal payments, including the repayment of 1 mortgage in full for $15.8 million. During the first nine months of 2018, we made $14.6 million in principal payments, including the repayment of 1 mortgage in full for $11.0 million.payments. NaN mortgages were assumed during the first ~~nine~~three months of ~~2019~~2020 or ~~2018.~~2019. Assumed mortgages are secured by the properties on which the debt was placed and are considered non-recourse debt with limited customary exceptions for items such as solvency, bankruptcy, misrepresentation, fraud, misapplication of payments, environmental liabilities, failure to pay taxes, insurance premiums, liens on the property, violations of the single purpose entity requirements, and uninsured losses.

Our mortgages contain customary covenants, such as limiting our ability to further mortgage each applicable property or to discontinue insurance coverage without the prior consent of the lender. At ~~September 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, we were in compliance with these covenants.

The balance of our deferred financing costs, which are classified as part of mortgages payable, net, on our consolidated balance sheets, was ~~$143,000~~$1.2 million at ~~September 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 and ~~$183,000~~$1.3 million at December 31, ~~2018.~~2019. These costs are being amortized over the remaining term of each mortgage.

10. Noncontrolling Interests

~~In January 2013,~~The 2 noncontrolling interests that we ~~completed our acquisition of ARCT. Equity issued as consideration for this transaction included common and preferred~~consolidate include an operating partnership, units issued by Tau Operating Partnership, L.P., or Tau Operating Partnership, the consolidated subsidiary which owns properties acquired through the ARCT acquisition. In January 2019, we redeemed all 317,022 remaining common units of Tau Operating Partnership for cash, and paid off the outstanding balance and interest on the $70.0 million senior unsecured term loan entered in January 2013 in conjunction with our acquisition of ARCT. Following the redemption, we hold 100% of the ownership interests of Tau Operating Partnership and continue to consolidate the entity. As part of this transaction, our taxable REIT subsidiary, Crest Net Lease, obtained a 0.11% interest in Tau Operating Partnership.

~~In June 2013, we completed the acquisition of a portfolio of properties by issuing common partnership units in~~ Realty Income, L.P. ~~as consideration for the acquisition. Additionally, in March 2019~~, and in March and April 2018, we completed the acquisitions of additional properties, by paying both cash and by issuing additional common partnership units in Realty Income, L.P as consideration for the acquisitions. At September 30, 2019, the remaining units from these issuances represent a ~~1.9% ownership in Realty Income, L.P. We hold the remaining 98.1% interests in this entity and consolidate the entity.~~

Neither of the common partnership units have voting rights. Both common partnership units are entitled to monthly distributions equal to the amount paid to common stockholders of Realty Income, and are redeemable in cash or Realty Income common stock, at our option, and at a conversion ratio of 1 to one, subject to certain exceptions. Noncontrolling interests with redemption provisions that permit the issuer to settle in either cash or common stock, at the option of the issuer, were evaluated to determine whether temporary or permanent equity classification on the balance sheet was appropriate. We determined that the units meet the requirements to qualify for presentation as permanent equity.

~~In 2016, we completed the acquisition of 2 properties by acquiring a controlling interest in 2 separate entities. In December 2018, we~~joint venture acquired all of the outstanding minority ownership interests associated with 1 of these entities. In July 2019, we acquired all of the outstanding minority ownership interest associated with the remaining entity.

11. Financial Instruments and 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 disclosure for assets and liabilities measured at fair value requires allocation to a three-level valuation hierarchy. This valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. Categorization within this hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

We believe that the carrying values reflected in our consolidated balance sheets reasonably approximate the fair values for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, escrow deposits, loans receivable, line of credit payable, term loans and all other liabilities, due to their short-term nature or interest rates and terms that are consistent with market, except for our mortgages payable assumed in connection with acquisitions and our senior notes and bonds payable, which are disclosed as follows (dollars in millions):


September 30, 2019	Carrying value		Estimated fair value
March 31, 2020					Carrying value		Estimated fair value
Mortgages payable assumed in connection with acquisitions ⁽¹⁾	$	278.9	$	289.5	$	406.7	$	410.3
Notes and bonds payable ⁽²⁾	6,287.1		6,839.7		6,041.2		6,008.4


December 31, 2018	Carrying value		Estimated fair value
December 31, 2019					Carrying value		Estimated fair value
Mortgages payable assumed in connection with acquisitions ⁽¹⁾	$	298.4	$	305.7	$	408.4	$	417.7
Notes and bonds payable ⁽²⁾	5,400.0		5,430.0		6,317.6		6,826.1

⁽¹⁾

Excludes non-cash net premiums recorded on the mortgages payable. The unamortized balance of these net premiums was ~~$3.3~~$2.6 million at ~~September 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, and ~~$4.4~~$3.0 million at December 31, ~~2018.~~2019. Also excludes deferred financing costs of ~~$143,000~~$1.2 million at ~~September 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 and ~~$183,000~~$1.3 million at December 31, ~~2018.~~2019.

⁽²⁾

Excludes non-cash original issuance premiums and discounts recorded on notes payable. The unamortized balance of the net original issuance premiums was ~~$6.6~~$6.2 million at ~~September 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, and ~~$10.5~~$6.3 million at December 31, ~~2018.~~2019. Also excludes deferred financing costs of ~~$37.3~~$34.3 million at ~~September 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 and ~~$33.7~~$35.9 million at December 31, ~~2018.~~2019.

The estimated fair values of our mortgages payable assumed in connection with acquisitions and private senior notes payable have been calculated by discounting the future cash flows using an interest rate based upon the relevant 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 our mortgages payable is categorized as level three on the three-level valuation hierarchy.

The estimated fair values of our publicly-traded senior notes and bonds payable are based upon indicative market prices and recent trading activity of our senior notes and bonds payable. 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 our notes and bonds payable is categorized as level two on the three-level valuation hierarchy.

~~We record interest~~In February 2020, we entered into 5 forward starting treasury rate ~~swaps on~~locks with notional amounts totaling $500.0 million. The treasury rate locks were entered into to hedge our exposure to the ~~consolidated balance sheet at fair value. Prior to our adoption~~changes in the 10-year US treasury rates in anticipation of ~~hedge accounting in October 2018,~~potential future debt offerings during the ~~change~~first half of 2020. These treasury rate locks are designated as cash flow hedges, with any changes in fair value ~~of interest rate swaps was recognized through interest~~

~~expense. Following adoption, changes to fair value are~~ recorded toin accumulated other comprehensive income, or AOCI.

In May 2019, we entered into 4 cross-currency swaps to exchange £130 million for $166 million maturing in May 2034, in order to hedge the foreign currency risk associated with our Sterling-denominated intercompany loan receivable from our consolidated foreign subsidiaries. These cross-currency swaps were designated as cash flow hedges on their trade date. Gains and losses, representing hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness, are recognized in earnings over the life of the hedges on a systematic and rational basis, as documented at hedge inception in accordance with our accounting policy election. The earnings recognition of excluded components is presented in foreign currency and derivative gains, net on our consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income, which is the same caption item as the hedged transactions.

We record interest rate swaps on the consolidated balances sheet at fair value. Changes to fair value are recorded to AOCI.

⁽⁵⁾	GBP fixed rates initially at 4.82% and escalating to 10.96%, and USD fixed rate at 9.755%.


⁽⁶⁾	These treasury rate locks were entered into during February 2020 to hedge our exposure to the changes in the 10-year US treasury rate on potential future debt offerings during the first half of 2020. In the event we do not execute a debt offering or offerings within the original contract maturity, we may elect to extend the maturity of all or a portion of these contracts.

We measure our derivatives at fair value and include the balances within other assets and accounts payable and accrued expenses on our consolidated balance sheets.

We have agreements with each of our derivative counterparties containing provisions under which we could be declared in default on our derivative obligations if repayment of our indebtedness is accelerated by the lender due to our default.

We utilize interest rate swap agreements to manage interest rate risk and cross-currency swaps 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.

To comply with the provisions of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, we incorporate 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.

Although we have determined that the majority of the inputs used to value our derivatives fall within level two on the three-level valuation hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with our derivatives utilize level three inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads, to evaluate the likelihood of default by ourselves and our counterparties. However, at ~~September 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 and December 31, ~~2018,~~2019, 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 two on the three-level valuation hierarchy.

Unrealized gains and losses in AOCI are reclassified to interest expense in the case of interest rate swaps and to foreign currency gains and losses, net in the case of cross-currency swaps, when the related hedged items are recognized. During the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, we reclassified ~~$890,000 and $2.0~~$1.6 million ~~respectively,~~ from AOCI as an increase to interest expense for our interest rate swaps and ~~$5.7~~$11.4 million ~~and $7.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019~~ for cross-currency swaps into foreign exchange gains. During the first ~~nine~~three months of ~~2018, there were no outstanding derivatives designated as hedges and accounted for through AOCI. As a result, there were no amounts to reclassify~~2019, we reclassified $678,000 from AOCI ~~during the first nine months of 2018.~~into interest expense.

We expect to reclassify ~~$5.7~~$12.0 million from AOCI as an increase to interest expense relating to interest rate swaps and ~~$1.9~~treasury locks and $2.1 million from AOCI to foreign currency gain relating to cross-currency swaps within the next twelve months.

12. Operating Leases

A. At ~~September 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, we owned ~~5,964~~6,525 properties in 49 U.S. states, Puerto Rico, and the U.K. Of the ~~5,964~~6,525 properties, ~~5,934,~~6,490, or 99.5%, are single-tenant properties, and the remaining are multi-tenant properties. At ~~September 30, 2019, 102~~March 31, 2020, 97 properties were available for lease or sale.

Substantially all of our leases are net leases where the tenant pays or reimburses us for property taxes and assessments, maintains the interior and exterior of the building and leased premises, and carries insurance coverage for public liability, property damage, fire and extended coverage.

Rent based on a percentage of a tenants’ gross sales, or percentage rents, for the ~~third quarter of 2019 and 2018 was $407,000 and $454,000, respectively. Percentage rents for the~~ first ~~nine~~three months of 2020 and 2019 ~~and 2018 were $4.5~~was $1.2 million and ~~$4.3~~$3.6 million, respectively.

~~At September 30, 2019, minimum future annual rents to be received on the operating leases for the next five years and thereafter are as follows (dollars in thousands):~~

2019 $ 358,249
2020 1,420,029
2021 1,376,492
2022 1,309,148
2023 1,227,605
Thereafter 8,346,953
Total $ 14,038,476

B. Major Tenants - No individual tenant’s rental revenue, including percentage rents, represented more than 10% of our total revenue for each of the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 and ~~2018.~~2019.

13. Gain on Sales of Real Estate

14. Impairments

We review long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. A provision is made for impairment if estimated future operating cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) plus estimated disposition proceeds (undiscounted) are less than the current book value of the property. Key factors that we utilize in this analysis include projected rental rates, estimated holding periods, ~~historical sales and re-leases,~~ capital expenditures and property sales capitalization rates. If a property is classified as held for sale, it is carried at the lower of carrying cost or estimated fair value, less estimated cost to sell, and depreciation of the property ceases.

The following table summarizes our provisions for impairment during the periods indicated below (dollars in millions):


	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,				Three Months Ended March 31,

16. 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 potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the reporting period.

The following is a reconciliation of the denominator of the basic net income per common share computation to the denominator of the diluted net income per common share computation:


	Three months ended September 30,		Nine months ended September 30,		Three Months Ended March 31,
	2019	2018	2019	2018	2020	2019

B. During the first ~~nine~~three months of 2019, we issued 89,322 ~~common partnership units of Realty Income, L.P. totaling $6.3 million, as partial consideration for an acquisition of properties.~~

~~C. During the first nine months of 2018, we issued 373,797~~ common partnership units of Realty Income, L.P. as partial consideration for an acquisition of properties, totaling ~~$18.8~~$6.3 million.

C. During the first three months of 2020, the fair value of net derivative liabilities decreased by $16.4 million.

D. ~~During~~Non-refundable deposits from 2019 of $14.8 million were applied to acquisitions during the first ~~nine~~three months of ~~2018, we completed the acquisition of a property using $7.5 million in funds that were held in a non-refundable escrow account.~~2020.

Per the requirements of ASU 2016-18 (Topic 230, Statement of Cash Flows), the following table provides a reconciliation of cash and cash equivalents reported within the consolidated balance sheets to the total of the cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash reported within the consolidated statements of cash flows (dollars in thousands):

18. Segment Information

We evaluate performance and make resource allocation decisions on an industry by industry basis. For financial reporting purposes, we have grouped our tenants into 4951 activity segments. All of the properties are incorporated into one of the applicable segments. Unless otherwise specified, all segments listed below are located within the U.S. Because almost all of our leases require the tenant to pay operating expenses, rental revenue is the only component of segment profit and loss we measure.

The following tables set forth certain information regarding the properties owned by us, classified according to the business of the respective tenants (dollars in thousands):

19. Common Stock Incentive Plan

In 2012, our Board of Directors adopted and stockholders approved the Realty Income Corporation 2012 Incentive Award Plan, or the 2012 Plan, to enable us to motivate, attract and retain the services of directors and employees considered essential to our long-term success. The 2012 Plan offers our directors and employees an opportunity to own our stock or rights that will reflect our growth, development and financial success. Under the terms of the 2012 plan, the aggregate number of shares of our common stock subject to options, restricted stock, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock units and other awards, will be no more than 3,985,734 shares. The 2012 Plan has a term of ten years from the date it was adopted by our Board of Directors.

The amount of share-based compensation costs recognized in general and administrative expense on our consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income was ~~$3.2 million during the third quarter of 2019, $3.9 million during the third quarter of 2018, $10.5~~$5.5 million during the first ~~nine~~three months of ~~2019~~2020 (including$1.8 million of accelerated share-based compensation costs for our former Chief Financial Officer ("CFO") upon his departure from the company), and ~~$12.5~~$2.8 million during the first ~~nine~~three months of ~~2018.~~2019. Upon the departure of our former CFO in the first quarter of 2020, we incurred a severance charge of $3.5 million, consisting of $1.6 million of cash, $1.8 million related to share–based compensation expense and $58,000 of professional fees.

A.Restricted Stock

During the first ~~nine~~three months of ~~2019,~~2020, we granted ~~81,927~~62,873 shares of common stock under the 2012 Plan. ~~This included 32,000 total~~These shares of restricted stock granted to the independent members of our Board of Directors in connection with our annual awards in May 2019, 20,000 shares of which vested immediately, 8,000 shares of which vest in equal parts over a three-year service period, and 4,000 shares of which vest over a one-year service period. With the exception of shares granted to our independent directors, shares granted to employees vest over a four-year service ~~period.~~period, with the exception of 4,541 shares granted to our former CFO, which vested upon his departure from the Company.

As of ~~September 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, the remaining unamortized share-based compensation expense related to restricted stock totaled ~~$11.3~~$12.4 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 and Restricted Stock Units

During the first ~~nine~~three months of ~~2019,~~2020, we granted ~~115,137~~98,844 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% on the first and second January 1 after the end of the three-year performance period, subject to continued service.

During the first ~~nine~~three months of ~~2019,~~2020, we also granted ~~5,482~~9,966 restricted stock units, all of which vest over a four-year service period. These restricted stock units have the same economic rights as shares of restricted stock.

As of ~~September 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, the remaining share-based compensation expense related to the performance shares and restricted stock units totaled ~~$10.6~~$15.6 million. The fair value of the performance shares were estimated on the date of grant using a Monte Carlo Simulation model. The performance shares are being recognized on a tranche-by-tranche basis over the service period. The amount of share-based compensation for the restricted stock units is based on the fair value of our common stock at the grant date. The restricted stock units are being recognized on a straight-line basis over the service period.

20. 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.

At ~~September 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, we had commitments of ~~$9.8~~$6.1 million for re-leasing costs, recurring capital expenditures, and non-recurring building improvements. In addition, as of ~~September 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, we had committed ~~$23.5~~$13.2 million under construction contracts related to development projects, which is expected to be paid in the next twelve months.

We have certain properties that are subject to ground leases which are accounted for as operating leases. At September 30, 2019, minimum future rental payments for the next five years and thereafter are as follows (dollars in millions):

⁽¹⁾	~~Realty Income currently pays the ground lessors directly for the rent under the ground leases.~~


⁽²⁾	Our tenants, who are generally sub-tenants under the ground leases, are responsible for paying the rent under these ground leases. In the event a tenant fails to pay the ground lease rent, we are primarily responsible for the rent payment.

⁽³⁾The range of discount rates used to calculate the present value of the lease payments is 3.09% to 5.50%. At September 30, 2019, the weighted average discount rate is 4.29% and the weighted average remaining lease term is 12.5 years. The discount rates are derived using a hypothetical corporate credit curve for the ground leases based on our outstanding senior notes and relevant market data. The discount rates are specific for individual leases primarily based on the lease term.

21. Subsequent Events

In ~~October 2019,~~April 2020, we declared a dividend of ~~$0.227~~$0.233 per share to our common stockholders, which will be paid in ~~November 2019.~~May 2020.

On April 9, 2020, we borrowed an additional $1.2 billion under revolving credit facility to increase our cash position to $1.25 billion as a conservative measure due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As of May 1, 2020, we had $1.9 billion of borrowings outstanding under our revolving credit facility, including £325.5 million of Sterling-denominated borrowings, with a remaining available capacity of $1.1 billion. The revolving credit facility also has a $1.0 billion expansion option, which is subject to obtaining lender commitments.

In addition, on April 9, 2020, we withdrew our 2020 guidance that was provided on February 19, 2020 due to the ongoing uncertainty regarding the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the measures taken to limit its spread. We are continuing to evaluate these impacts on our business as the situation continues to evolve and feel it is not prudent to provide revised guidance at this time.

As of May 1, 2020:


◦	We have collected 82.9% of contractual rent⁽¹⁾ due for the month of April 2020 across our total portfolio;


◦	We are in rent deferral discussions with tenants that account for a majority of the unpaid contractual rent for the month of April 2020, as well as certain tenants that did pay April contractual rent;


◦	We have collected 82.9% of contractual rent due for the month of April 2020 from our top 20 tenants⁽²⁾; and


◦	We have collected 99.9% of contractual rent due for the month of April 2020 from our investment grade tenants⁽³⁾.


⁽¹⁾	Contractual rent is the aggregate cash amount charged to tenants inclusive of April monthly base rent receivables, offset by applicable discounts or credits. U.K. rent (which is payable in pounds Sterling) was converted at the exchange rate in effect on May 1, 2020.

^{(2 )}We define top 20 tenants as our 20 largest tenants based on percentage of total portfolio annualized rental revenue.

⁽³⁾We define investment grade tenants as tenants with a credit rating, and tenants that are subsidiaries or affiliates of companies with a credit rating, of Baa3/BBB- or higher from one of the three major rating agencies (Moody’s/S&P/Fitch).

THE COMPANY

Realty Income, The Monthly Dividend Company^®, is an S&P 500 company dedicated to providing stockholders with dependable monthly dividends that increase over time. The company is structured as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, requiring it annually to distribute at least 90% of its taxable income (excluding net capital gains) in the form of dividends to its stockholders. The monthly dividends are supported by the cash flow generated from real estate owned under long-term, net lease ~~agreements with commercial tenants.~~agreements.

Realty Income was founded in 1969, and listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: O) in 1994. ~~For over 50~~Over the past 51 years, Realty Income has been acquiring and managing freestanding commercial properties that generate rental revenue under long-term net lease agreements. The company is a member of the S&P ~~High Yield~~500 Dividend ~~Aristocrats®~~Aristocrats^® index for having increased its dividend every year for ~~more than 21~~the last 25 consecutive years.

At ~~September 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, we owned a diversified portfolio:

Of ~~5,964~~6,525 properties;

With an occupancy rate of ~~98.3%~~98.5%, or ~~5,862~~6,428 properties leased and ~~102~~97 properties available for lease;

~~Leased to 274 different commercial tenants doing~~Doing business in 4951 separate industries;

Located in 49 U.S. states, Puerto Rico and the United Kingdom (U.K.);

With ~~over 100.5~~approximately 106.0 million square feet of leasable space;

With a weighted average remaining lease term (excluding rights to extend a lease at the option of the tenant) of approximately ~~9.3~~9.2 years; and

With an average leasable space per property of approximately ~~16,852~~16,245 square feet; approximately ~~11,873~~11,960 square feet per retail property and ~~237,668~~224,499 square feet per industrial property.

Of the ~~5,964~~6,525 properties in the portfolio at ~~September 30, 2019, 5,934,~~March 31, 2020, 6,490, or 99.5%, are single-tenant properties, of which ~~5,836~~6,396 were leased, and the remaining are multi–tenant properties.

Unless otherwise specified, references to rental revenue in the Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations are exclusive of reimbursements from tenants for recoverable real estate taxes and operating expenses totaling ~~$15.5~~$20.4 million and ~~$12.5 million for the third quarters of 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $49.3 million and $35.2~~$17.3 million for the first ~~nine~~three months of 2020 and 2019, ~~and 2018,~~ respectively.

Investment Philosophy

We believe that owning an actively managed, diversified portfolio of ~~primarily single-tenant~~ commercial properties under long-term, net lease agreements produces consistent and predictable ~~income.~~income over time. A net lease typically requires the tenant to be responsible for monthly rent and certain property operating expenses including property taxes, insurance, and maintenance. In addition, tenants of our properties typically pay rent increases based on: (1) increases in the consumer price index (typically subject to ceilings), (2) fixed increases, or (3) additional rent calculated as a percentage of the tenants’ gross sales above a specified level. We believe that a portfolio of properties under long-term, net lease agreements generally produces a more predictable income stream than many other types of real estate portfolios, while continuing to offer the potential for growth in rental income.

Diversification is also a key component of our investment philosophy. We believe that diversification of the portfolio by tenant, industry, geography, and ~~to a certain extent,~~ property type leads to more consistent and predictable income for our stockholders by reducing vulnerability that can come with any single concentration. Our investment activities have led to a diversified property portfolio that, as of ~~September 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, consisted of ~~5,964~~6,525 properties located in 49 U.S. states, Puerto Rico and the U.K., ~~leased to 274 different commercial tenants~~and doing business in 4951 industries. Each of the 4951 industries represented in our property portfolio accounted for no more than ~~11.6%~~11.9% of our rental revenue for the quarter ended ~~September 30, 2019.~~March 31, 2020.

Investment Strategy

When identifying new properties for investment, we generally focus on acquiring high-quality real estate that tenants consider important to the successful operation of their business. We generally seek to acquire real estate that has the following characteristics:

Properties that are freestanding, commercially-zoned with a single tenant;

Properties that are in significant markets or strategic locations critical to generating revenue for our tenants (i.e. they need the property in which they operate in order to conduct their business);

Properties that we deem to be profitable for the tenants and/or can generally be characterized as important to the successful operations of the company’s business;

Properties that are located within attractive demographic areas relative to the business of our ~~tenants, generally fungible, and have good visibility and easy access to major thoroughfares;~~tenants;

Properties with real estate valuations that approximate replacement costs;

Properties with rental or lease payments that approximate market ~~rents;~~rents for similar properties; and

Properties that can be purchased with the simultaneous execution or assumption of long-term, net lease agreements, offering both current income and the potential for future rent increases.

We seek to invest in ~~industries~~properties owned by tenants that are already or could become leaders in ~~which several well-organized tenants are capturing market share through the selection~~their respective businesses supported by mechanisms including (but not limited to) occupancy of prime real estate locations, ~~supported by superior~~pricing, merchandise assortment, service, quality, ~~control,~~ economies of scale, consumer branding, and advertising. In addition, we frequently acquire large portfolios of single-tenant properties net leased to different tenants operating in a variety of industries. We have an internal team dedicated to sourcing such opportunities, often using our relationships with various tenants, owners/developers, brokers and advisers to uncover and secure transactions. We also undertake thorough research and analysis to identify what we consider to be appropriate property locations, tenants, and industries for investment. This research expertise is instrumental to uncovering net lease opportunities in markets where we believe we can add value.

In selecting potential investments, we look for tenants with the following attributes:

Tenants with reliable and sustainable cash flow;

Tenants with revenue and cash flow from multiple sources;

Tenants that are willing to sign a long-term lease (10 or more years); and

Tenants that are large owners and users of real estate.

From a retail perspective, our investment strategy is to target tenants that have a service, non-discretionary, and/or low-price-point component to their business. We believe these characteristics better position tenants to operate in a variety of economic conditions and to compete more effectively with internet retailers. As a result of the execution of this strategy, approximately 95% of our annualized retail rental revenue at ~~September 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 is derived from tenants with a service, non-discretionary, and/or low price point component to their business. From a non-retail perspective, we target industrial properties leased to industry leaders that are primarily investment grade rated companies. We believe these characteristics enhance the stability of the rental revenue generated from these properties.

After applying this investment strategy, we pursue those transactions where we can achieve an attractive investment spread over our cost of capital and favorable risk-adjusted returns. We will continue to evaluate all investments for consistency with our objective of owning net lease assets.

Underwriting Strategy

In order to be considered for acquisition, properties must meet stringent underwriting requirements. We have established a four-part analysis that examines each potential investment based on:

The aforementioned overall real estate characteristics, including demographics, replacement cost and comparative rental rates;

Industry, tenant (including credit profile), and market conditions;

Store profitability for retail locations if profitability data is available; and

The importance of the real estate location to the operations of the tenants’ business.

We believe the principal financial obligations for most of our tenants typically include their bank and other debt, payment obligations to suppliers, and real estate lease obligations. Because we typically own the land and building in which a tenant conducts its business or which are critical to the tenant’s ability to generate revenue, we believe the risk of default on a tenant’s lease obligation is less than the tenant’s unsecured general obligations. It has been our experience that tenants must retain their profitable and critical locations in order to survive. Therefore, in the event of reorganization, they are less likely to reject a lease of a profitable or critical location because this would terminate their right to use the property.

Thus, as the property owner, we believe that we will fare better than unsecured creditors of the same tenant in the event of reorganization. If a property is rejected by the tenant during reorganization, we own the property and can either lease it to a new tenant or sell the property. In addition, we believe that the risk of default on real estate leases can be further mitigated by monitoring the performance of the tenants’ individual locations and considering whether to proactively sell locations that meet our criteria for disposition.

Prior to entering into any transaction, our research department conducts a review of a tenant’s credit quality. The information reviewed may include reports and filings, including any public credit ratings, financial statements, debt and equity analyst reports, and reviews of corporate credit spreads, stock prices, market capitalization, and other financial metrics. We conduct additional due diligence, including additional financial reviews of the tenant and a more comprehensive review of the business segment and industry in which the tenant operates. We continue to monitor our tenants’ credit quality on an ongoing basis by reviewing the available information previously discussed, and providing summaries of these findings to management. ~~Approximately 49%~~At March 31, 2020, approximately 48% of our annualized rental revenue

comes from properties leased to investment grade rated companies, their subsidiaries or ~~their subsidiaries.~~affiliated companies. At ~~September 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, our top 20 tenants (based on percentage of total portfolio annualized rental revenue) represented approximately ~~54%~~53% of our annualized revenue and 12 of these tenants have investment grade credit ratings or are subsidiaries or affiliates of investment grade companies.

Asset Management Strategy

In addition to pursuing new properties for investment, we seek to increase earnings and distributions to stockholders through active asset management.

Generally, our asset management efforts seek to achieve:

Rent increases at the expiration of existing leases, when market conditions permit;

Optimum exposure to certain tenants, industries, and markets through re-leasing vacant properties and selectively selling properties;

Maximum asset-level returns on properties that are re-leased or sold;

Additional value creation from the existing portfolio by enhancing individual properties, pursuing alternative uses, and deriving ancillary revenue; and

Investment opportunities in new asset classes for the portfolio.

We continually monitor our portfolio for any changes that could affect the performance of our tenants, our tenants’ industries, and the real estate locations in which we have invested. We also regularly analyze our portfolio with a view towards optimizing its returns and enhancing its overall credit quality. Our active asset management strategy pursues asset sales when we believe the reinvestment of the sale proceeds will:

Generate higher returns;

Enhance the credit quality of our real estate portfolio;

Extend our average remaining lease term; and/or

Strategically decrease tenant, industry, or geographic concentration.

At September 30, 2019, we classified 28 properties with a carrying amount of $15.8 million as held for sale on our balance sheet. For the remainder of 2019, we intend to continue our active disposition efforts to further enhance our real estate portfolio and anticipate reaching approximately $75 to $100 million in annual property sales. We plan to invest these proceeds into new property acquisitions, if there are attractive opportunities available. However, we cannot guarantee that we will sell properties during the remainder of 2019 at our estimated values or be able to invest the property sale proceeds in new properties.

The active management of the portfolio is an essential component of our long-term strategy of maintaining high occupancy. ~~Since 1970, our occupancy rate at the end of each year has never been below 96%. However, we cannot assure you that our future occupancy levels will continue to equal or exceed 96%.~~

Impact of Real Estate and Credit Markets

In the commercial real estate market, property prices generally continue to fluctuate. Likewise, during certain periods, including the current market, the global credit 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 credit markets carefully and, if required, will make decisions to adjust our business strategy accordingly.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

Increases in Monthly Dividends to Common Stockholders

We have continued our ~~50-year~~51-year policy of paying monthly dividends. In addition, we increased the dividend ~~five~~three times during ~~2019.~~2020. As of ~~October 2019,~~April 2020, we have paid 8890 consecutive quarterly dividend increases and increased the dividend ~~103~~106 times since our listing on the NYSE in 1994.

The following table summarizes our dividend increases in ~~2019:~~2020:


2019 Dividend increases	Month Declared	Month Paid	Dividend per share		Increase per share

5th increase	Sep 2019	Oct 2019	$	0.2270	$	0.0005

The dividends paid per share during the first ~~nine~~three months of ~~2019~~2020 totaled approximately ~~$2.030,~~$0.693, as compared to approximately ~~$1.969~~$0.672 during the first ~~nine~~three months of ~~2018,~~2019, an increase of ~~$0.061,~~$0.021, or 3.1%.

The monthly dividend of ~~$0.227~~$0.233 per share represents a current annualized dividend of ~~$2.724~~$2.796 per share, and an annualized dividend yield of approximately ~~3.6%~~5.6% based on the last reported sale price of our common stock on the NYSE of ~~$76.68~~$49.86 on ~~September 30, 2019.~~March 31, 2020. 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.

Portfolio Discussion

Leasing Results

At ~~September 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, we had ~~102~~97 properties available for lease out of ~~5,964~~6,525 properties in our portfolio, which represents a ~~98.3%~~98.5% occupancy rate based on the number of properties in our portfolio.

The following tables ~~summarize~~summarizes our leasing results for the ~~periods indicated below:~~first three months of 2020:



Properties available for lease at ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2019	~~102~~94

⁽¹⁾	The annual new rent on these re-leases was ~~$6.96~~$17.82 million, as compared to the previous annual rent of ~~$6.86~~$18.0 million on the same properties, representing a rent recapture rate of ~~101.5%~~99.0% on the properties re-leased during the ~~quarter ended September 30, 2019.~~first three months of 2020.

~~Dispositions~~	~~(52~~	)
~~Properties available for lease at September 30, 2019~~	~~102~~


⁽¹⁾	The annual new rent on these re-leases was $48.52 million, as compared to the previous annual rent of $47.53 million on the same properties, representing a rent recapture rate of 102.1% on the properties re-leased during the quarter ended September 30, 2019.


⁽²⁾	~~Re-leased to six~~ new tenants after a period ~~of vacancy, and six new tenants without~~ vacancy.

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 tenant rent concessions. We do not consider the collective impact of the leasing commissions or tenant rent concessions to be material to our financial position or results of operations.

At ~~September 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, our average annualized rental revenue was approximately ~~$14.63~~$15.13 per square foot on the ~~5,862~~6,428 leased properties in our portfolio. At ~~September 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, we classified 2822 properties, with a carrying amount of ~~$15.8~~$21.4 million, as held for sale on our balance sheet. The expected sale of these properties does not represent a strategic shift that will have a major effect on our operations and financial results and is consistent with our existing disposition strategy to further enhance our real estate portfolio and maximize portfolio returns.

Investments in Existing Properties

In the ~~third quarter~~first three months of ~~2019,~~2020, we capitalized costs of ~~$4.9~~$2.1 million on existing properties in our portfolio, consisting of ~~$851,000~~$138,000 for re-leasing costs ~~$406,000 for recurring capital expenditures,~~ and ~~$3.6~~$2.0 million for non-recurring building improvements. In the ~~third quarter~~first three months of ~~2018,~~2019, we capitalized costs of ~~$6.7~~$3.0 million on existing properties in our portfolio, consisting of ~~$379,000~~$323,000 for re-leasing costs, ~~$382,000~~$56,000 for recurring capital expenditures, and ~~$5.9~~$2.6 million for non-recurring building improvements.

In the first nine months of 2019, we capitalized costs of $11.0 million on existing properties in our portfolio, consisting of $1.9 million for re-leasing costs, $577,000 for recurring capital expenditures, and $8.5 million for non-recurring building improvements. In the first nine months of 2018, we capitalized costs of $12.3 million on existing properties in our portfolio, consisting of $2.8 million for re-leasing costs, $529,000 for recurring capital expenditures, and $8.9 million for non-recurring building improvements.

The majority of our building improvements relate to roof repairs, HVAC improvements, and parking lot resurfacing and replacements. The amounts of our capital expenditures can vary significantly, depending on the rental market, tenant credit worthiness, the lease term and the willingness of tenants to pay higher rents over the terms of the leases.

We define recurring capital expenditures as mandatory and recurring landlord capital expenditure obligations that have a limited useful life. We define non-recurring capital expenditures as property improvements in which we invest additional capital that extend the useful life of the properties.

Equity Capital Raising

During the ~~third quarter~~first three months of ~~2019,~~2020, we raised ~~$572.4~~$752.4 million from the sale of common stock at a weighted average price of ~~$74.41.~~$77.37, primarily from 9,690,500 shares issued in an overnight underwritten public offering, including 690,500 shares purchased by the underwriters upon the exercise of their option to purchase additional shares.

Chief Financial Officer Departure

In March 2020 and as previously announced, Paul Meurer, our former EVP, Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), departed from the Company. We have begun a search for a new CFO. As a result of Mr. Meurer's departure, we recognized an executive severance charge of $3.5 million during the first three months of 2020, consisting of $1.6 million of cash, $1.8 million related to share–based compensation expense and $58,000 of professional fees.

Early Redemption of 5.75% Notes Due January 2021

In January 2020, we completed the early redemption on all $250.0 million in principal amount of our outstanding 5.750% notes due January 2021, plus accrued and unpaid interest. As a result of the early redemption, we recognized a $9.8 million loss on extinguishment of debt during the first three months of 2020.

Impact of COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic and the measures taken to limit its spread are negatively impacting global, national and regional economies across many industries, including the industries in which some of our tenants operate, and have disrupted the businesses and operations of some of our tenants, each of which has had and may continue to have an adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial condition, and liquidity. These impacts may increase in severity as the duration of the pandemic lengthens. See "Item 1A--Risk Factors" in Part II of this report for more information regarding the actual and potential future impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and the measures taken to limit its spread on our tenants and our business, results of operations, financial condition and liquidity.

~~During~~As a result of this challenging environment, we are working diligently with our tenants most affected by the ~~first nine months~~pandemic to understand their financial liquidity and their ability to satisfy their contractual obligations to us. As we carefully navigate this difficult economic period with our tenants, our focus is on finding resolutions that preserve the long-term relationships we have built with many of ~~2019, we raised $1.58 billion from the sale of common stock at a weighted average price of $71.31.~~our tenants.

~~Pending $1.25 Billion Acquisition~~In addition, as we believe to be the case with many retail landlords, we received many short-term rent relief requests, most often in the form of ~~Properties~~rent deferral requests, or requests for further discussion from ~~CIM Real Estate Finance Trust, Inc.~~tenants. We believe that not all tenant requests will ultimately result in modification agreements, nor have we relinquished our contractual rights under our lease agreements. April collections and rent relief requests to-date may not be indicative of collections or requests in any future period.

~~In September 2019, we signed~~

As of May 1, 2020:


•	We have collected 82.9% of contractual rent⁽¹⁾ due for the month of April 2020 across our total portfolio;


•	We are in rent deferral discussions with tenants that account for a majority of the unpaid contractual rent for the month of April 2020, as well as certain tenants that did pay April contractual rent;


•	We have collected 82.9% of contractual rent due for the month of April 2020 from our top 20 tenants⁽²⁾; and


•	We have collected 99.9% of contractual rent due for the month of April 2020 from our investment grade tenants⁽³⁾.

We are still in the ~~portfolio expected to close in 2019, subject to customary closing conditions.~~

~~Amended and Restated Credit Agreement~~

In August 2019, we amended and restated our unsecured credit facility, or our credit facility, in order to allow borrowings in multiple currencies. The amended and restated credit facility is otherwise substantively consistent with the prior credit agreement entered into in October 2018. Our credit facility consistspreliminary stages of a $3.0 billion unsecured revolving credit facility with an initial term that expires in March 2023 and includes, at our option, two six-month extensions and a $250.0 million unsecured term loan due March 2024. The unsecured revolving credit facility allows us to borrow in up to 14 currencies, including U.S. dollars, and has a $1.0 billion expansion option. Under our credit facility, our investment grade credit ratings as of September 30, 2019 provide for financing at the London Interbank Offered Rate, commonly referred to as LIBOR, plus 0.775% with a facility commitment fee of 0.125%, for all-in drawn pricing of 0.90% over LIBOR. The borrowing rate is subject to an interest rate floor and may change if our investment grade credit ratings change. We also have other interest rate options available to us under our credit facility. Our credit facility is unsecured and, accordingly, we have not pledged any assets as collateral for this obligation.

~~Note Issuances~~

~~In May 2019, we issued £315 million of 2.730% senior unsecured notes due May 2034, or the 2034 Notes, through a private placement.~~

~~In June 2019, we issued $500 million of 3.250% senior unsecured notes due June 2029, or the 2029 Notes. The public offering price~~collecting rent for the ~~2029 Notes was 99.36%~~month of ~~the principal amount, for an effective yield to maturity of 3.326% and net proceeds of approximately $492.2 million.~~

~~The net proceeds from these offerings were used to repay borrowings outstanding under our credit facility, to fund investment opportunities, and for other general corporate purposes.~~

~~Authorized Shares~~

In May ~~2019, our stockholders approved an increase in~~2020. As a result, we cannot predict the number of ~~authorized shares~~tenants that will not pay rent for the month of May 2020, nor can we predict whether tenants who pay rent for April or May 2020 will continue to pay rent or request rent deferrals thereafter. In addition, as the adverse impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and the measures taken to limit its spread continue to evolve, the ability of our ~~common stock under~~tenants to continue to pay rent to us may further diminish, and therefore we cannot assure you that our ~~articles~~rental collections in April are indicative of ~~incorporation to 740,200,000 from 370,100,000.~~

~~Tau Operating Partnership Buyout and Term Loan Payoff~~

~~In January 2019, we redeemed all~~our rental collections in May or in the future. As a result of the ~~317,022 remaining common units of Tau Operating Partnership, L.P. held by nonaffiliates for cash. Following the redemption, we hold 100%~~impacts of the ~~ownership interests~~COVID-19 pandemic and the measures taken to limit its spread, our revenues in the second quarter of ~~Tau Operating Partnership, L.P.,~~2020 may decline relative to the first quarter of 2020, and that decline may continue or increase in subsequent periods as long as such impacts continue to consolidate the entity. Additionally, in January 2019, we paid off the outstanding balance and interest on the $70.0 million senior unsecured term loan entered in January 2013 in conjunction with our acquisition of ARCT. Following the redemption, we hold 100% of the ownership interests of Tau Operating Partnership, L.P., and continue to consolidate the entity. As part of this transaction, our taxable REIT subsidiary, Crest Net Lease, obtained a 0.11% interest in Tau Operating Partnership.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Capital Philosophy

Historically, we have met our long-term capital needs by issuing common stock, preferred stock and long-term unsecured notes and bonds. Over the long term, we believe that common stock should be the majority of our capital structure; however, we may issue ~~additional~~ preferred stock or debt securities. We may issue common stock when we believe that our share price is at a level that allows for the proceeds of any offering to be accretively invested into additional properties. In addition, we may issue common stock to permanently finance properties that were initially financed by our revolving credit facility or debt securities. However, we cannot assure you that we will have access to the capital markets at all times and at terms that are acceptable to us.

Our primary cash obligations, for the current year and subsequent years, are included in the “Table of Obligations,” 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 ~~and preferred~~ stockholders, primarily through cash provided by operating activities, borrowing on our credit facility and ~~periodically~~ through public securities offerings.

Conservative Capital Structure

We believe that our stockholders are best served by a conservative capital structure. Therefore, we seek to maintain a conservative debt level on our balance sheet and solid interest and fixed charge coverage ratios. At ~~September 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, our total outstanding borrowings of senior unsecured notes and bonds, term loans, mortgages payable and credit facility borrowings were ~~$7.07~~$7.56 billion, or approximately ~~22.0%~~30.6% of our total market capitalization of ~~$32.09~~$24.71 billion.

We define our total market capitalization at ~~September 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 as the sum of:

Shares of our common stock outstanding of ~~325,910,281,~~343,402,030, plus total common units outstanding of 463,119, multiplied by the last reported sales price of our common stock on the NYSE of ~~$76.68~~$49.86 per share on ~~September 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, or ~~$25.03~~$17.15 billion;

Outstanding borrowings of $615.2 million on our revolving credit facility, including £282.8 million British Pounds Sterling-denominated borrowings;

Outstanding mortgages payable of ~~$278.9~~$406.7 million, excluding net mortgage premiums of ~~$3.3~~$2.6 million and deferred financing costs of ~~$143,000;~~$1.2 million;

Outstanding borrowings of $500.0 million on our term loans, excluding deferred financing costs of ~~$1.1 million;~~$849,000; and

~~Outstanding senior unsecured notes and bonds of $6.29 billion, excluding net unamortized original issuance premiums of $6.6 million and deferred financing costs of $37.3~~


•	Outstanding senior unsecured notes and bonds of $6.04 billion, including a Sterling-denominated private placement of£315.0 million, and excluding unamortized net original issuance premiums of $6.2 million and deferred financing costs of $34.3 million.

Universal Shelf Registration

In November 2018, we filed a shelf registration statement with the SEC, which is effective for a term of three years and will expire in November 2021. In accordance with SEC rules, the amount of securities to be issued pursuant to this shelf registration statement was not specified when it was filed and there is no specific dollar limit. The securities covered by this registration statement include (1) common stock, (2) preferred stock, (3) debt securities, (4) depositary shares representing fractional interests in shares of preferred stock, (5) warrants to purchase debt securities, common stock, preferred stock, or depositary shares, and (6) any combination of these securities. We may periodically offer one or more of these securities in amounts, prices and on terms to be announced when and if these securities are offered. The specifics of any future offerings, along with the use of proceeds of any securities offered, will be described in detail in a prospectus supplement, or other offering materials, at the time of any offering.

At-the-Market (ATM) Program

Under our ~~ATM~~"at-the-market" equity distribution plan, or our ATM program, up to 33,402,405 shares of common stock may be offered and sold (1) by us to, or through, a consortium of banks acting as our sales agents or (2) by a consortium of banks acting as forward sellers on behalf of any forward purchasers contemplated thereunder, in each case by means of ordinary brokers' transactions on the NYSE at prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. ~~Our ATM program authorizes up to 28,961,855 common shares to be issued.~~ At ~~September 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, we had~~11,083,783~~ 33,402,405 shares remaining for future issuance under our ~~current~~ ATM program. We anticipate maintaining the availability of our ATM program in the future, including ~~through replenishing~~ the replenishment of authorized shares issuable thereunder.

~~The following table outlines~~ We did not issue any shares under the ~~common stock issuance pursuant to our~~ ATM program ~~(dollars in millions):~~

Issuance of Common Stock

In ~~May 2019,~~March 2020, we issued ~~12,650,000~~9,690,500 shares of common stock in an overnight underwritten public ~~offering.~~offering, including 690,500 shares purchased by the underwriters upon the exercise of their option to purchase additional shares. After deducting underwriting discounts and other offering costs of ~~$31.0~~$21.5 million, the net proceeds of ~~$845.1~~$728.5 million were primarily used to repay borrowings under our revolving credit facility.

Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan

Our Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan, or our DRSPP, provides our common stockholders, as well as new investors, with a convenient and economical method of purchasing our common stock and reinvesting their distributions. Our DRSPP also allows our current stockholders to buy additional shares of common stock by reinvesting all or a portion of their distributions. Our DRSPP authorizes up to 26,000,000 common shares to be issued. Our DRSPP includes a waiver approval process, allowing larger investors or institutions, per a formal approval process, to purchase shares at a small discount, if approved by us. We did not issue shares under the waiver approval process during the first ~~nine~~three months of ~~2019.~~2020. At March 31, 2020, we had 11,618,668 shares

~~The following table outlines~~remaining for future issuance under our DRSPP program. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we sold 34,000 shares of common stock ~~issuances pursuant to our DRSPP program (dollars in millions):~~

Revolving Credit Facility

In August 2019, we amended and restated our unsecured credit facility, or our credit facility, in order to allow borrowings in multiple currencies. The amended and restated credit agreement is otherwise substantively consistent with the prior credit agreement entered into in October 2018. Our credit facility consists ofWe have a $3.0 billion unsecured revolving credit facility with an initial term that expires in March 2023 and includes, at our option, two six-month ~~extensions and a $250.0 million unsecured term loan due March 2024.~~extensions. The multicurrency revolving facility allows us to borrow in up to 14 currencies, including U.S. dollars. Our revolving credit facility has a $1.0 billion expansion ~~option.~~option, which is subject to obtaining lender commitments. Under our revolving credit facility, our investment grade credit ratings as of ~~September 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 provide for financing at the London Interbank Offered Rate, commonly referred to as LIBOR, plus 0.775% with a facility commitment fee of 0.125%, for all-in drawn pricing of 0.90% over LIBOR.

The borrowing rate is subject to an interest rate floor and may change if our investment grade credit ratings change. We also have other interest rate options available to us under our credit facility. Our credit facility is unsecured and, accordingly, we have not pledged any assets as collateral for this obligation.

At ~~September 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, we had noa borrowing capacity of $2.4 billion available on our revolving credit facility and an outstanding balance ~~on our $3.0 billion revolving credit facility.~~of $615.2 million, including £282.8 million Sterling. The weighted average interest rate on borrowings under our revolving credit facility during the first ~~nine~~three months of ~~2019~~2020 was ~~3.2%~~2.1% per annum. We must comply with various financial and other covenants in our credit facility. At ~~September 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, we were in compliance with these covenants. We expect to use our credit facility to acquire additional properties and for other general corporate purposes. Any additional borrowings will increase our exposure to interest rate risk.

On April 9, 2020, we borrowed an additional $1.2 billion under our revolving credit facility to increase our cash position to $1.25 billion as a conservative measure due to COVID-19. As of May 1, 2020, we have $1.9 billion of borrowings outstanding under our revolving credit facility, including £325.5 million of Sterling-denominated borrowings, with a remaining available capacity of $1.1 billion. The revolving credit facility also has a $1.0 billion expansion option, which is subject to obtaining lender commitments.

We generally use our credit facility for the short-term financing of new property acquisitions. Thereafter, we generally seek to refinance those borrowings with the net proceeds of long-term or permanent financing, which may include the issuance of common stock, preferred stock or debt securities. We cannot assure you, however, that we will be able to obtain any such refinancing, or that market conditions prevailing at the time of the refinancing will enable us to issue equity or debt securities at acceptable terms. We regularly review our credit facility and may seek to extend, renew or replace our credit facility, to the extent we deem appropriate.

Term Loans

In October 2018, in conjunction with entering into our revolving credit facility, we entered into a $250.0 million senior unsecured term loan, which matures in March ~~2024.~~2024, and is governed by the credit agreement that governs our revolving credit facility. Borrowing under this term loan bears interest at the current one-month LIBOR, plus 0.85%. In conjunction with this term loan, we also entered into an interest rate swap which effectively fixes our per annum interest on this term loan at 3.89%.

In June 2015, in conjunction with entering into our previous revolving credit facility, we entered into a $250.0 million senior unsecured term loan maturing in June ~~2020.~~ 2020, and is governed by the credit agreement that governs our revolving credit facility.Borrowing under this term loan bears interest at the current one-month LIBOR, plus 0.90%. In conjunction with this term loan, we also entered into an interest rate swap which effectively fixes our per annum interest rate on this term loan at 2.62%. Upon the maturity of this term loan, we intend to either repay the outstanding principal with cash on hand, enter into an amendment to our current term loan, or enter into a new term loan.

Mortgage Debt

As of ~~September 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, we had ~~$278.9~~$406.7 million of mortgages payable, all of which were assumed in connection with our property acquisitions. Additionally, at ~~September 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, we had net premiums totaling ~~$3.3~~$2.6 million on these mortgages and deferred financing costs of ~~$143,000.~~$1.2 million. We expect to pay off the mortgages payable as soon as prepayment penalties have declined to a level that would make it economically feasible to do so. During the first ~~nine~~three months of ~~2019,~~2020, we made ~~$19.5~~$1.7 million in principal ~~payments, including the repayment of one mortgage in full for $15.8 million.~~payments.

All of our outstanding notes and bonds have fixed interest rates and contain various covenants, with which we remained in compliance as of ~~September 30, 2019.~~March 31, 2020. Additionally, interest on all of our senior note and bond obligations is paid semiannually.

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 U.S. GAAP measurements, 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 ~~September 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 are:



Note Covenants	Required	Actual
Limitation on incurrence of total debt	< 60% of adjusted assets	~~37.7~~37.1	%
Limitation on incurrence of secured debt	< 40% of adjusted assets	~~1.5~~2.0	%
Debt service coverage (trailing 12 months) ⁽¹⁾	> 1.5x	~~4.7x~~5.5x
Maintenance of total unencumbered assets	> 150% of unsecured debt	~~268.4~~274.8	%

⁽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) incurred 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 had in each case occurred on ~~October~~April 1, ~~2018~~2019 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 ~~October~~April 1, ~~2018,~~2019, nor does it purport to reflect our debt service coverage ratio for any future period. Our fixed charge coverage ratio is calculated in the same manner as our debt service coverage ratio, except that preferred stock dividends are also added to the denominator; since we redeemed our Class F preferred dividends in April 2017, our fixed charge coverage ratio is equivalent to our debt service coverage ratio. The following is our calculation of debt service and fixed charge coverage at ~~September 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 (in thousands, for trailing twelve months):

Net income available to common stockholders $ 392,257
Plus: interest expense, excluding the amortization of deferred financing costs 277,533
Plus: provision for taxes 6,029
Plus: depreciation and amortization 575,078
Plus: provisions for impairment 32,471
Plus: pro forma adjustments 76,847
Less: gain on sales of real estate (21,653 )

Income available for debt service, as defined $ 1,338,562

Total pro forma debt service charge $ 287,645

Debt service and fixed charge coverage ratio 4.7

~~Authorized Shares~~

~~In May 2019, our stockholders approved an increase in the number of authorized shares of our common stock under our articles of incorporation to 740,200,000 from 370,100,000.~~



Net income available to common stockholders	$	472,367
Plus: interest expense, excluding the amortization of deferred financing costs	287,209
Plus: loss on extinguishment of debt	9,819
Plus: provision for taxes	7,476
Plus: depreciation and amortization	621,029
Plus: provisions for impairment	39,992
Plus: pro forma adjustments	112,633
Less: gain on sales of real estate	(61,239		)

Income available for debt service, as defined	$	1,489,286

Total pro forma debt service charge	$	271,158

Debt service and fixed charge coverage ratio	5.5

Cash Reserves

We are organized to operate as an equity REIT that acquires and leases properties and distributes to stockholders, in the form of monthly cash distributions, a substantial portion of our net cash flow generated from leases on our properties. We intend to retain an appropriate amount of cash as working capital. At ~~September 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, we had cash and cash equivalents totaling ~~$236.1 million.~~$41.8 million, inclusive of£15.2 million Sterling. On April 9, 2020, we borrowed an additional $1.2 billion under our revolving credit facility, as to increase our cash position to $1.25 billion as a conservative measure due to COVID-19.

We believe that our cash and cash equivalents on hand, cash provided from operating activities, and borrowing capacity is 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 facility.

Credit Agency Ratings

The borrowing interest rates under our revolving credit facility are based upon our ratings assigned by credit rating agencies. As of ~~September 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, 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, Standard & Poor’s Ratings Group has assigned a rating of A- with a “stable” outlook, and Fitch Ratings has assigned a rating of BBB+ with a “stable” outlook.

Based on our ratings as of ~~September 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, the facility interest rate was LIBOR, plus 0.775% with a facility commitment fee of 0.125%, for all-in drawn pricing of 0.90% over LIBOR. Our credit facility provides that the interest rate can range between: (i) LIBOR, plus 1.45% if our credit rating is lower than BBB-/Baa3 or unrated and (ii) LIBOR, plus 0.75% if our credit rating is A/A2 or higher. In addition, our credit facility provides for a facility commitment fee based on our credit ratings, which range 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, preferred stock or common stock.

⁽¹⁾	The initial term of the credit facility expires in March 2023 and includes, at our option, two six–month extensions. On April 9, 2020, we borrowed an additional $1.2 billion on our revolving credit facility.


⁽²⁾	Excludes non-cash original issuance discounts and premiums recorded on notes payable of ~~$6.6~~$6.2 million and deferred financing costs of ~~$37.3 million at September 30, 2019.~~$34.3 million.


⁽³⁾	Excludes deferred financing costs of ~~$1.1 million.~~$849,000.

⁽⁵⁾	Interest on the term loans, notes, bonds, mortgages payable, and credit facility has been calculated based on outstanding balances ~~as of September 30, 2019~~at period end through their respective maturity dates.


⁽⁶⁾	Realty Income currently pays the ground lessors directly for the rent under the ground leases.


⁽⁷⁾	Our tenants, who are generally sub-tenants under ground leases, are responsible for paying the rent under these ground leases. In the event a tenant fails to pay the ground lease rent, we are primarily responsible.


⁽⁸⁾	“Other” consists of ~~$23.5~~$13.2 million of commitments under construction contracts and ~~$9.8~~$6.1 million for re-leasing costs, recurring capital expenditures, and non-recurring building improvements.

Our revolving credit facility, term loans, and notes payable obligations are unsecured. Accordingly, we have not pledged any assets as collateral for these obligations.

No Unconsolidated Investments

We have no unconsolidated investments, nor do we engage in trading activities involving energy or commodity contracts.

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 generally equal to the amount paid per share to our common stockholders.

In order to maintain our status as a 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 ~~2018,~~2019, our cash distributions to common stockholders totaled ~~$761.6~~$852.1 million, or ~~133.4%~~approximately 131.5% of our estimated taxable income of ~~$571.0~~$648.0 million. 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 funds from operations and cash on hand are sufficient to support our current level of cash distributions to our stockholders. Our cash distributions to common stockholders in the first ~~nine~~three months of ~~2019~~2020 totaled ~~$629.7~~$233.8 million, representing ~~82.0%~~78.7% of our adjusted funds from operations available to common stockholders of ~~$768.0~~$297.2 million. In comparison, our ~~2018~~2019 cash distributions to common stockholders totaled ~~$761.6~~$852.1 million, representing ~~82.4%~~81.2% of our adjusted funds from operations available to common stockholders of ~~$924.6 million.~~$1.05 billion.

Future distributions will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend on, among other things, our results of operations, FFO, AFFO, cash flow from operations, financial condition, capital requirements, the annual distribution requirements under the REIT provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, our debt service requirements, and any other factors the Board of Directors may deem relevant. In addition, our credit facility contains 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 the common or preferred 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 credit facility.

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 taxable REIT subsidiaries) 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, for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017 and before January 1, 2026.

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 who hold their shares as a capital asset. Approximately ~~22.9%~~21.8% of the distributions to our common stockholders, made or deemed to have been made in ~~2018,~~2019, were classified as a return of capital for federal income tax purposes. ~~We estimate that in 2019, between 15% and 25% of the distributions may be classified as a return of capital.~~

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Critical Accounting Policies

Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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. This summary should be read in conjunction with the more complete discussion of our accounting policies and procedures included in note 2 to our consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2018.~~2019.

In order to prepare our consolidated financial statements according to the rules and guidelines set forth by GAAP, many subjective judgments must be made with regard to critical accounting policies. Management must make significant assumptions in determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. When acquiring a property for investment purposes, we typically allocate the cost of real estate acquired, inclusive of transaction costs, to: (1) land, (2) building and improvements, and (3) identified intangible assets and liabilities, based in each case on their relative estimated fair values. Intangible assets and liabilities consist of above-market or below-market lease value ~~of in-place leases~~ and the value of in-place leases, as applicable. Additionally, ~~above-market~~above–market rents on certain leases under which we are a lessor are accounted for as financing receivables amortizing over the lease term, while ~~below-market~~below–market rents on certain leases under which we are a lessor are accounted for as prepaid rent. In an acquisition of multiple properties, we must also allocate the purchase price among the properties. The allocation of the purchase price is based on our assessment of estimated fair value of the land, building and improvements, and identified intangible assets and liabilities and is often based upon the ~~expected future cash flows of the property and~~ various characteristics of the market where the property is located. In addition, any assumed mortgages ~~receivable or payable~~ are recorded at their estimated fair values. The estimated fair values of our mortgages payable have been calculated by discounting the future cash flows using applicable interest rates that have been adjusted for factors, such as industry type, tenant investment grade, maturity date, and comparable borrowings for similar assets. The use of different assumptions in the allocation of the purchase price of the acquired properties and liabilities assumed could affect the timing of recognition of the related revenue and expenses.

Another significant judgment must be made as to if, and when, impairment losses should be taken on our properties when events or a change in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. A provision is made for impairment if estimated future operating cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) plus estimated disposition proceeds (undiscounted) are less than the current book value of the property.

Key inputs that we utilize in this analysis include projected rental rates, estimated holding periods, ~~historical sales and re-leases,~~ capital expenditures, and property sales capitalization rates. If a property is held for sale, it is carried at the lower of carrying cost or estimated fair value, less estimated cost to sell. The carrying value of our real estate is the largest component of our consolidated balance sheets. Our strategy of primarily holding properties, long-term, directly decreases the likelihood of their carrying values not being recoverable, thus requiring the recognition of an impairment. However, if our strategy, or one or more of the above assumptions were to change in the future, an impairment may need to be recognized. If events should occur that require us to reduce the carrying value of our real estate by recording provisions for impairment, they could have a material impact on our results of operations.

The COVID-19 pandemic and the measures taken to limit its spread are negatively impacting the economy across many industries, including the industries in which some of our tenants operate. These impacts may continue and increase in severity as the duration of the pandemic lengthens, which may, in turn, adversely impact the fair value estimates of our real estate and require the recording of impairments on our properties. As a result, we are evaluating certain key assumptions involving fair value estimates of our real estate and recording of impairments on our properties. We continue to evaluate the potential impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and the measures taken to limit its spread on our business and industry segments, as the situation continues to evolve and more information becomes available. However, as of March 31, 2020, we have determined that the COVID-19 pandemic and the measures taken to limit its spread have not had a material impact on our consolidated financial statements as of and for period ended March 31, 2020.

When assessing the collectability of future lease payments, one of the key factors we have considered during 2020 has been COVID-19. We generally assess collectability based on an analysis of creditworthiness, economic trends, and other facts and circumstances related to the applicable tenants. If the collection of substantially all of the future lease payments is less than probable, we will write-off the receivable balances associated with the lease and cease to recognize lease income, including straight-line rent, unless cash is received. As we collect the majority of our rent in advance and at this time we do not have any tenant specific information that would change our assessment that collection of substantially all of the future lease payments under our existing leases is probable, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our tenants' ability to pay rent did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2020. However, there may be significant impacts in future periods that could change this assessment.

The following is a comparison of our results of operations for the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, to the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30, 2018.~~March 31, 2019.

Rental Revenue (excluding reimbursable)

The increase in rental revenue (excluding reimbursable) in the ~~third quarter~~first three months of ~~2019~~2020 compared to the ~~third quarter~~first three months of ~~2018~~2019 is primarily attributable to:

The ~~231~~59 properties ~~(7.5~~(1.8 million square feet) we acquired in ~~2019,~~the first three months 2020, which generated ~~$26.1~~$3.2 million of rent in the ~~third quarter~~first three months of ~~2019;~~2020;

The 753 properties (4.8 million square feet) we acquired in 2018, which generated $28.3 million of rent in the third quarter of 2019, compared to $19.7 million in the third quarter of 2018, an increase of $8.6


•	The 779properties (13.4 million square feet) we acquired in 2019, which generated $59.2 million of rent in the first three months of 2020, compared to $3.0 million in the first three months of 2019, an increase of $56.2 million;

Same store rents generated on ~~4,836~~5,535 properties ~~(83.6~~(86.9 million square feet) during the ~~third quarter~~first three months of ~~2019~~2020 and ~~2018,~~2019, increased by ~~$3.6 million,~~$670,000, or ~~1.2%~~0.2%, to ~~$293.73~~$321.47 million from ~~$290.18~~$320.8 million; partially offset by

A net decrease in straight-line rent and other non-cash adjustments to rent of ~~$1.3 million~~$790,000 in the ~~third quarter~~first three months of ~~2019~~2020 as compared to the ~~third quarter~~first three months of ~~2018;~~2019;

A net decrease of ~~$3.7~~$2.9 million relating to properties sold ~~during~~in the first three months of 2020 and throughout 2019 ~~and 2018~~ that were reported in continuing operations; and

A net decrease of ~~$1.2~~$1.27 million relating to the aggregate of (i) rental revenue from properties ~~(134~~(145 properties comprising ~~3.2~~2.9 million square feet) that were available for lease during part of ~~2019~~2020 or ~~2018,~~2019, (ii) rental revenue for ~~ten~~eight properties under development, and (iii) lease termination settlements. In aggregate, the revenues for these items totaled ~~$5.6 million in the third quarter of 2019, compared to $6.8 million in the third quarter of 2018.~~

~~The increase in rental revenue (excluding reimbursable) in the first nine months of 2019 compared to the first nine months of 2018 is primarily attributable to:~~

~~The 231 properties (7.5 million square feet) we acquired in the first nine months of 2019, which generated $44.9 million of rent in the first nine months of 2019;~~

~~The 753 properties (4.8 million square feet) we acquired in 2018, which generated $84.3 million of rent in the first nine months of 2019, compared to $29.7~~$5.56 million in the first ~~nine~~three months of ~~2018, an increase of $54.6 million; and~~

~~Same store rents generated on 4,836 properties (83.6 million square feet) during the first nine months of 2019 and 2018, increased by $12.4 million or 1.4%,~~2020, compared to ~~$882.53 million from $870.16 million; partially offset by~~

~~A net decrease in straight-line rent and other non-cash adjustments to rent of $2.3~~$6.83 million in the first ~~nine~~three months of ~~2019 as compared to the first nine months of 2018;~~

~~A net decrease of $11.4 million relating to properties sold in the first nine months of 2019 and during 2018 that were reported in continuing operations; and~~

A net decrease of $2.0 million relating to the aggregate of (i) rental revenue from properties (134 properties comprising 3.2 million square feet) that were available for lease during part of 2019 or 2018, (ii) rental revenue for ten properties under development, and (iii) lease termination settlements. In aggregate, the revenues for these items totaled $17.9 million in the first nine months of 2019 compared to $19.9 million in the first nine months of 2018.2019.

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 ~~5,964~~6,525 properties in the portfolio at ~~September 30, 2019, 5,934,~~March 31, 2020, 6,490, or 99.5%, are single-tenant properties and the remaining are multi-tenant properties. Of the ~~5,934~~6,490 single-tenant properties, ~~5,836,~~6,396, or ~~98.3%~~98.6%, were net leased at ~~September 30, 2019.~~March 31, 2020. Of our ~~5,836~~6,396 leased single-tenant properties, ~~5,038~~5,445 or ~~86.3%~~85.1% were under leases that provide for increases in rents through:

Base rent increases tied to a consumer price index (typically subject to ceilings);

Percentage rent based on a percentage of the tenants’ gross sales;

Fixed increases; or

A combination of two or more of the above rent provisions.

Percentage rent, which is included in rental revenue, was ~~$407,000 in the third quarter of 2019, $454,000 in the third quarter of 2018, $4.5~~$1.2 million in the first ~~nine~~three months of ~~2019,~~2020, and ~~$4.3~~$3.6 million in the first ~~nine~~three months of ~~2018.~~2019. We anticipate percentage rent to be less than 1% of rental revenue for ~~2019.~~2020.

Our portfolio of real estate, leased primarily to commercial tenants under net leases, continues to perform well and provides dependable lease revenue supporting the payment of monthly dividends to our stockholders. At ~~September 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, our portfolio of ~~5,964~~6,525 properties was ~~98.3%~~98.5% leased with ~~102~~97 properties available for lease, as compared to 98.6% leased, with 8094 properties available for lease at December 31, ~~2018,~~2019, and ~~98.8%~~98.3% leased with 71102 properties available for lease at ~~September 30, 2018.~~March 31, 2019. It has been our experience that approximately 1% to 4% of our property portfolio will be unleased at any given time; however, it is possible that the number of properties available for lease could ~~exceed these levels~~increase in the ~~future.~~future, given the nature of economic cycles and other unforeseen global events, such as the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the measures taken to limit its spread.

Rental Revenue (reimbursable)

A number of our leases provide for contractually obligated reimbursements from tenants for recoverable real estate taxes and operating expenses. The increase in tenant reimbursements for the periods presented is primarily due to the growth of our portfolio due to acquisitions.

Other Revenue

The increase in other revenue in the ~~third quarter~~first three months of ~~2019~~2020 was primarily related to interest income recognized on financing receivables for certain leases with above-market terms as compared to the ~~third quarter of 2018. The decrease in other revenue in the~~ first ~~nine~~three months of 2019 was primarily related to lower proceeds from property insurance claims, condemnations and lower interest income from our investments in U.S. government money market funds as compared to the first nine months of 2018.2019.

⁽¹⁾

⁽¹⁾General and administrative expenses for the first three months of 2020 included an executive severance charge related to the departure of our former CFO in March 2020. The total value of cash, stock compensation and professional fees incurred as a result of this severance was $3,463 and was recorded to general and administrative expense (see our discussion of Adjusted Funds from Operations Available to Common Stockholders, or AFFO, which is not a financial measure under generally accepted accounting principles). In order to present a normalized calculation of our general and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenue for the first three months of 2020, we have excluded this executive severance charge to arrive at a normalized general and administrative amount of $17,501, which was used for our calculation.

⁽²⁾ Excludes rental revenue (reimbursable).

~~Excludes rental revenue (reimbursable).~~

Depreciation and Amortization

The increase in depreciation and amortization in the ~~third quarter and~~ first ~~nine~~three months of ~~2019~~2020 was primarily due to the acquisition of properties in ~~2018~~2019 and the first ~~nine~~three months of ~~2019,~~2020, which was partially offset by property sales in those same periods. As discussed in the sections entitled “Funds from Operations Available to Common Stockholders (FFO)” and “Adjusted Funds from Operations Available to Common Stockholders (AFFO),” depreciation and amortization is a non-cash item that is added back to net income available to common stockholders for our calculation of FFO and AFFO.

Interest Expense

The following is a summary of the components of our interest expense (dollars in thousands):


	Three Months Ended September 30,						Nine Months Ended September 30,						Three Months Ended March 31,

The increase in interest expense ~~from 2018 to 2019~~ for the ~~third quarter and the~~ first ~~nine~~three months of 2020 is primarily due to ~~the October 2018 issuance of our $250.0 million senior term loan,~~ the May 2019 issuance of our 2.730% notes due 2034, the June 2019 issuance of our 3.250% notes due 2029 and ~~a loss~~higher interest on our mortgages payable and interest rate swaps, ~~during~~partially offset by the ~~third quarter~~January 2020 repayment of our 5.750% notes due 2021 and lower interest on our term loans.

During the first ~~nine~~three months of ~~2019.~~

~~At September 30, 2019, we had no outstanding borrowings on our revolving credit facility. The~~2020, the weighted average interest rate on our:

Revolving credit facility outstanding borrowings of $615.2 million was 2.1%;

Term loans outstanding of $500.0 million (excluding deferred financing costs of ~~$1.1 million)~~$849,000) was ~~3.3%~~2.5%;

Mortgages payable of ~~$278.9~~$406.7 million (excluding net premiums totaling ~~$3.3~~$2.6 million and deferred financing costs of ~~$143,000~~$1.2 million on these mortgages) was ~~5.2%~~4.9%;

Notes and bonds payable of ~~$6.29~~$6.0 billion (excluding net unamortized original issue premiums of ~~$6.6~~$6.2 million and deferred financing costs of ~~$37.3~~$34.3 million) was ~~3.9%~~3.8%; and

Combined outstanding notes, bonds, mortgages, term loan and ~~term loans~~revolving credit facility borrowings of ~~$7.07~~$7.6 billion (excluding all net premiums and deferred financing costs) was ~~3.9%~~3.6%.

~~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. In October 2019, we had 184 employees, as compared to 166 employees in October 2018.

Property Expenses (excluding reimbursable)

Property expenses (excluding reimbursable) consist of costs associated with unleased properties, non-net-leased properties and general portfolio expenses. Expenses related to unleased properties and non-net-leased properties include, but are not limited to, property taxes, maintenance, insurance, utilities, property inspections and legal fees. General portfolio costs include, but are not limited to, insurance, legal, property inspections, and title search fees. At ~~September 30, 2019, 102~~March 31, 2020, 97 properties were available for lease, as compared to 8094 at December 31, ~~2018,~~2019, and 71102 at ~~September 30, 2018.~~March 31, 2019.

The increase in property expenses (excluding reimbursable) in the ~~third quarter and the~~ first ~~nine~~three months of ~~2019~~2020 is primarily attributable to higher ~~property taxes~~repairs and maintenance associated with our expanding portfolio size.

Property Expenses (reimbursable)

The increase in property expenses (reimbursable) in the ~~third quarter and~~ first ~~nine~~three months of ~~2019~~2020 was primarily attributable to the increased portfolio size, which contributed to higher contractually obligated reimbursements from tenants for recoverable real estate taxes and operating expenses primarily due to our acquisitions in each period.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses increased during the first three months of 2020 primarily due to a severance charge of $3.5 million for our former CFO, who departed the company in March 2020, higher share-based compensation expense, higher corporate–level professional fees and higher payroll-related costs. In April 2020, we had 195 employees, as compared to 170 employees in April 2019.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are for city and state income and franchise taxes, and for U.K. income taxes paid by us and our subsidiaries. The increase in income taxes in the first three months of 2020 was primarily attributable to our U.K. investments, which contributed to higher U.K. income taxes as compared to the first three months of 2019.

Foreign Currency and Derivative Gains, Net

We borrow in the functional currencies of the countries in which we invest. Foreign currency gains and losses are primarily a result of intercompany debt and certain remeasurement transactions.

Loss on Extinguishment of Debt

In January 2020, we completed the early redemption on all $250.0 million in principal amount of outstanding 5.75% notes due January 2021, plus accrued and unpaid interest. As a result of the early redemption, we recognized a $9.8 million loss on extinguishment of debt.

The calculation to determine net income available to common stockholders includes impairments, gains from the sale of properties, ~~and~~ foreign currency gains and losses, which can vary from period to period based on timing and significantly impact net income available to the Company and available to common stockholders.

Net income available to common stockholders in the first three months of 2020 was also impacted by a loss on extinguishment of debt due to the early redemption of the 5.750% Notes due 2021 in January 2021 and an executive severance charge for our former CFO in March 2020.

Adjusted Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization for Real Estate (Adjusted EBITDAre)

The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT) came to the conclusion that a NAREIT-defined EBITDA metric for real estate companies (i.e., EBITDA for real estate, or ~~EBITDAre)~~EBITDAre) would provide investors with a consistent measure to help make investment decisions among REITs. Our definition of “Adjusted EBITDAre” is generally consistent with the NAREIT definition, other than our ~~adjustment~~adjustments to remove foreign currency and derivative gains and losses, the executive severance charge described below, and loss on extinguishment of debtcharge as described below (which is consistent with our previous calculations of "Adjusted EBITDA"). We define Adjusted ~~EBITDAre,~~EBITDAre, a non–GAAP financial measure, for the most recent quarter as earnings (net income) before (i) interest expense, including non-cash loss (gain) on swaps, (ii) executive severance charges, (iii) loss on extinguishment of debt, (iv) income and franchise taxes,

~~(iii)~~ (v) real estate depreciation and amortization, ~~(iv)~~(vi) impairment losses, ~~(v)~~(vii) gain on sales of real estate, and ~~(vi)~~(viii) foreign currency and derivative gains ~~net.~~and losses, net (as described in the Adjusted Funds from Operations section). Our Adjusted ~~EBITDAre~~EBITDAre may not be comparable to Adjusted ~~EBITDAre~~EBITDAre reported by other companies or as defined by NAREIT, and other companies may interpret or define Adjusted ~~EBITDAre~~EBITDAre differently than we do. Management believes Adjusted EBITDAre to be a meaningful measure of a REIT’s performance because it is widely followed by industry analysts, lenders and investors. Management also believes the use of an annualized quarterly Adjusted EBITDAre metric is meaningful because it represents the company’s current earnings run rate for the period presented. The ratio of our total debt to our annualized quarterly Adjusted EBITDAre is also used to determine vesting of performance share awards granted to our executive officers. Adjusted EBITDAre should be considered along with, but not as an alternative to net income as a measure of our operating performance. Our ratio of ~~debt to Adjusted~~net debt-to-Adjusted EBITDAre, which is used by management as a measure of leverage, is calculated ~~by annualizing quarterly Adjusted EBITDA~~re ~~and then dividing by~~as net ~~debt. Net~~ debt is(which we define as total debt per the consolidated balance sheet, less cash and cash ~~equivalents.~~equivalents) divided by annualized quarterly Adjusted EBITDAre.

The following table summarizes our EBITDAre calculation for the periods indicated below (dollars in thousands):

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 impairments of depreciable real estate assets, and reduced by gains on property sales.

We consider FFO to be an appropriate supplemental measure of a REIT’s operating performance as it is based on a net income analysis of property portfolio performance that adds back items such as depreciation and impairments for 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. The use of FFO is recommended by the REIT industry as a supplemental performance measure. In addition, FFO is used as a measure of our compliance with the financial covenants of our credit facility.

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 GAAP performance metric to which AFFO should be reconciled is net income available to common stockholders.

Presentation of the information regarding 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 and AFFO in the same way, so comparisons with other REITs may not be meaningful. Furthermore, 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 and AFFO should not be considered as alternatives to reviewing our cash flows from operating, investing, and financing activities. In addition, 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

At ~~September 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, we owned a diversified portfolio:

Of ~~5,964~~6,525 properties;

With an occupancy rate of ~~98.3%~~98.5%, or ~~5,862~~6,428 properties leased and ~~102~~97 properties available for lease;

~~Leased to 274 different commercial tenants doing~~Doing business in 4951 separate industries;

Located in 49 U.S. states, Puerto Rico and the U.K.;

With ~~over 100.5~~approximately 106.0 million square feet of leasable space;

With a weighted average remaining lease term (excluding rights to extend a lease at the option of the tenant) of approximately 9.2 years; and

~~Of the 5,964~~At March 31, 2020, 6,428 properties ~~we owned at September 30, 2019, 5,862~~ were leased under net lease agreements. A net lease typically requires the tenant to be responsible for monthly rent and certain property operating expenses including property taxes, insurance, and maintenance. In addition, our tenants are typically subject to future rent increases based on increases in the consumer price index (typically subject to ceilings), additional rent calculated as a percentage of the tenants’ gross sales above a specified level, or fixed increases.

At September 30, 2019, our 274 commercial tenants, which we define as retailers with over 50 locations and non-retailers with over $500 million in annual revenues, represented approximately 95% of our annualized revenue. We had 329 additional tenants, representing approximately 5% of our annualized revenue at September 30, 2019, which brings our total tenant count to 603 tenants.

⁽¹⁾	Includes rental revenue for all properties owned at ~~September 30, 2019.~~March 31, 2020. Excludes revenue of ~~$66~~$919 from sold properties and ~~$15,523~~$20,366 of tenant reimbursement revenue.

IMPACT OF INFLATION

Tenant leases generally provide for limited increases in rent as a result of increases in the tenants’ sales volumes, increases in the consumer price index (typically subject to ceilings), or fixed increases. We expect that inflation will cause these lease provisions to result in rent increases over time. 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.

Moreover, our use of net lease agreements tends to reduce our exposure to rising property expenses due to inflation because the tenant is responsible for property expenses. Inflation and increased costs may have an adverse impact on our tenants if increases in their operating expenses exceed increases in revenue.

IMPACT OF RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

OTHER INFORMATION

Our common stock is listed on the NYSE under the ticker symbol “O” with a CUSIP number of 756109-104. Our central index key number is 726728.

We maintain a corporate website at www.realtyincome.com. On our website we make available, free of charge, copies of our annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, Form 3s, Form 4s, Form 5s, current reports on Form 8-K, and amendments to those reports, as soon as reasonably practicable after we electronically file these reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC. None of the information on our website is deemed to be part of this report.

~~Corporate Responsibility~~

Realty Income is committed to conducting our business according to the highest ethical standards. We are dedicated to providing an engaging, diverse, and safe work environment for our employees, operating our business in an environmentally conscious manner, and upholding our corporate responsibilities as a public company for the benefit of our shareholders. As The Monthly Dividend Company^®, our mission is to provide our stockholders with monthly dividends that increase over time. How we manage and use the physical, financial and talent resources that enable us to achieve this mission, demonstrates our commitment to corporate responsibility.

~~Environmental Practices~~

Our focus on the environment is demonstrated by how we manage our day-to-day activities at our corporate headquarters. At our headquarters, we promote energy efficiency and encourage practices such as:

~~Powering down office equipment at the end of the day;~~

~~Implementing file-sharing technology and automatic “duplex mode” to limit paper use;~~

~~Adopting electronic approval systems;~~

~~Encouraging employees to carpool to our headquarters; and~~

~~Recycling paper waste.~~

With respect to recycling and reuse practices, we encourage the use of recycled products and the recycling of materials during our operations. Cell phones, wireless devices and office equipment are recycled or donated whenever possible. In 2018, we sent more than 28,500 pounds of paper to our offsite partner for recycling.

In addition, our headquarters was constructed according to the State of California energy efficiency standards (specifically following California Green Building Standards Code and Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations), with features such as an automatic lighting control system with light-harvesting technology, a building management system that monitors and controls energy use, an energy-efficient PVC roof and heating and cooling system, and drought-tolerant landscaping with recycled materials. We continue to evaluate our current operations, strive to improve our environmental performance, and implement sustainable business practices.

The properties in our portfolio are primarily net leased to our tenants who are responsible for maintaining the buildings and are in control of their energy usage and environmental sustainability practices. We work with our tenants to promote environmental responsibility at the properties we own, with some locations achieving LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification.

Our Asset Management team has engaged with a renewable energy development company to identify assets that would maximize energy efficiency initiatives throughout our property portfolio. These initiatives include solar energy arrays, battery storage, and charging stations. In addition, we continue to explore regional opportunities with our tenants in order to qualify for city and county renewable energy or energy efficiency programs to conserve our world’s finite resources.

Realty Income also has an internal "Green Team" that encourages our employees to focus on environmentally-smart choices to further reduce our environmental impact as a company. The Green Team, which includes executive and officer-level employees, works to positively impact the environment through education and engagement within the company and local communities, focusing on waste, energy, and water management.

~~Company Culture and Employees~~

We put great effort into cultivating an inclusive company culture. We are one team, and together we are committed to a culture that provides an engaging work environment and encourages respect, collaboration, humility, transparency, and integrity. Regular open communication is central to how we work, and our employees take pride in our 50-year history of providing monthly dividends to our stockholders. We hire talented employees with diverse backgrounds and perspectives, and work to provide an environment where capable team members have fulfilling careers in the real estate industry.

~~Social Responsibility~~

We are committed to providing a positive and engaging work environment for our employees and taking an active role in the betterment of the communities in which our employees and shareholders live and work. Our employees are awarded compensation that is in line with those of our peers and competitors, including generous healthcare benefits (medical, dental, vision) for all employees and their families, participation in a 401(k) plan with a matching contribution from Realty Income, restricted stock awards based on company performance, competitive paid time-off benefits, a well-being program, continued education and development opportunities, up to 16 weeks of paid maternity leave, and an infant-at-work program for new parents. We also have a long-standing commitment to being an equal opportunity employer and adhere to all Equal Employer Opportunity Policy guidelines.

We believe that giving back to our community is an extension of our mission to improve the lives of our shareholders, our employees, and their families. Realty Income and its employees have taken an active role in supporting communities through civic involvement with non-profit organizations and corporate donations. Our non-profit activities resulted in approximately 810 company-sponsored employee volunteer hours in 2018, principally through our partnership with San Diego Habitat for Humanity. We are proud of the efforts we have made to date and look forward to continuing to strengthen our impact as part of the successful operations of The Monthly Dividend Company^®.

~~Additional information on Realty Income’s commitment to social responsibility may be found on our website.~~

~~Corporate Governance~~

We believe that nothing is more important than a company’s reputation for integrity and serving as a responsible fiduciary for its shareholders. We are committed to managing the company for the benefit of our stockholders and are focused on maintaining good corporate governance. Practices that illustrate this commitment include, but are not limited to:

~~Our Board of Directors is currently comprised of nine directors, eight of whom are independent, non-employee directors;~~

~~In accordance with our continued focus on board refreshment, in July 2018, we added two new independent, non-employee directors;~~

~~Our Board of Directors is elected on an annual basis with a majority vote standard;~~

~~Our Directors conduct annual self-evaluations and participate in orientation and continuing education programs;~~

~~An Enterprise Risk Management evaluation is conducted annually to identify and assess company risk;~~

~~Each committee within our Board of Directors is comprised entirely of independent directors; and~~

We adhere to all other corporate governance principles outlined in our Corporate Governance Guidelines. These guidelines, as well as our bylaws, committee charters and other governance documents may be found on our website.

~~Business Ethics~~

We are committed to conducting our business according to the highest ethical standards and upholding our corporate responsibilities as a public company operating for the benefit of our shareholders. Our Board of Directors has adopted a Code of Business Ethics that applies to our directors, officers, and other employees. The Code of Business Ethics includes our commitment to dealing fairly with all of our customers, service providers, suppliers, and competitors. We conduct annual training with our employees regarding ethical behavior and require all employees to acknowledge the terms of, and abide by, our Code of Business Ethics, which is also available on our website. Our employees have access to members of our Board of Directors to report anonymously, if desired, any suspicion of misconduct by any member of our senior management or executive team. Anonymous reporting is always available through the company’s whistleblower hotline and reported to our Audit Committee quarterly.

Item 3: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We are exposed to interest rate changes primarily as a result of our credit facility, 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 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 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 ~~September 30, 2019.~~March 31, 2020. This information is presented to evaluate the expected cash flows and sensitivity to interest rate changes (dollars in millions):

⁽¹⁾

Excludes net premiums recorded on mortgages payable, net original issuance premiums recorded on notes payable and deferred financing costs on mortgages payable, notes payable, and term loans. At ~~September 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, the unamortized balance of net premiums on mortgages payable is ~~$3.3~~$2.6 million, the unamortized balance of net original issuance premiums on notes payable is ~~$6.6~~$6.2 million, and the balance of deferred financing costs on mortgages payable is ~~$143,000,~~$1.2 million, on notes payable is ~~$37.3~~$34.3 million, and on term loans is ~~$1.1 million.~~$849,000.

⁽²⁾

We base the estimated fair value of the publicly-traded fixed rate senior notes and bonds at ~~September 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 on the indicative market prices and recent trading activity of our senior notes and bonds payable. We base the estimated fair value of our fixed rate and variable rate mortgages and private senior notes payable at ~~September 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 on the relevant forward interest rate curve, plus an applicable credit-adjusted spread. We believe that the carrying value of the credit facility balance and term loans balance reasonably approximate their estimated fair values at ~~September 30, 2019.~~March 31, 2020.

The table above incorporates only those exposures that exist as of ~~September 30, 2019.~~March 31, 2020. 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.

All of our outstanding notes and bonds have fixed interest rates. At ~~September 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, all of our mortgages payable had fixed interest rates, except one variable rate mortgage on one property totaling ~~$7.1~~$7.0 million, which has been ~~subsequently~~ swapped to a fixed interest rate. Interest on our revolving credit facility and term loan balances is variable. However, the variable interest rate feature on our term loans has been mitigated by interest rate swap agreements. Based on our revolving credit facility balance of $615.2 million at March 31, 2020, a 1% change in interest rates would change our interest rate costs by $6.2 million per year. On April 9, 2020, we borrowed an additional $1.2 billion under our revolving credit facility.

During ~~the second quarter of~~ 2019, we commenced foreign operations and acquired real property in the U.K. As a result, we are subject to currency fluctuations that may, from time to time, affect our financial condition and results of operations. Increases or decreases in the value of ~~British pound sterling~~Sterling relative to the U.S. dollar impact the amount of net income we earn from our investments in the U.K. We mitigate these foreign currency exposures with non-U.S. denominated borrowings and cross-currency swaps. If we increase our international presence through investments in properties outside the U.S., we may also decide to transact additional business or borrow funds in currencies other than U.S. dollars.

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) 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~~Interim Principal 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.

As of and for the quarter ended ~~September 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, under the supervision and with the participation of

management, including our Chief Executive Officer and ~~Chief~~Interim Principal Financial Officer. Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and ~~Chief~~Interim Principal Financial Officer concluded that 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 ~~September 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 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

In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, you should carefully consider the following risk factor, which supplements and should be read in conjunction with the information appearing under "Item 1A. Risk Factors" in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10–K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019.

The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted our operations and is expected to continue to have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and liquidity.

In late 2019, COVID-19 was first reported in Wuhan, China, and on March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic. The outbreak has spread globally and has led governments and other authorities around the world, including federal, state and local authorities in the United States and elsewhere, to impose measures intended to control its spread, including restrictions on freedom of movement and business operations such as travel bans, border closings, business closures, quarantines and shelter-in-place orders.

The COVID-19 pandemic has had, and other pandemics in the future could have, repercussions across global economies and financial markets. The COVID-19 pandemic and the measures taken to limit its spread have adversely impacted regional, national and global economic activity and have contributed to significant volatility and negative pressure in financial markets. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has been rapidly evolving and, as cases of COVID-19 have continued to increase and be identified, many countries, including the United States and United Kingdom, have reacted by, among other things, instituting quarantines and restricting travel. Many national, state and local governments, including in areas where we own properties, have also reacted by instituting quarantines, restrictions on travel, shelter-in-place orders, restrictions on types of business that may continue to operate, school closures, limitations on attendance at events or other gatherings, and social distancing requirements, and additional national, state and local governments may implement similar restrictions.

As a result, the COVID-19 pandemic and the measures taken to limit its spread are negatively impacting the global, national and regional economies generally and many industries, directly or indirectly, and those impacts are likely to continue and may increase in severity, including potentially triggering a national or global recession or a prolonged period of negative or limited economic growth. Factors that have contributed or may contribute to the adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the measures taken to limit its spread on the business, results of operations, financial condition and liquidity of us and our tenants include, without limitation, the following:

A complete or partial closure of, or other operational limitations or issues at, properties operated by our tenants resulting from government action (including quarantine, shelter-in-place or similar orders requiring that people remain in their homes) or tenant action;

Reduced economic activity, the deterioration in our or our tenants’ ability to operate in affected areas and any delays in the supply of products or services to our tenants may impact certain of our tenants’ businesses, results of operations, financial condition and liquidity and may cause certain of our tenants to be unable to meet their obligations to us in full, or at all, and to seek, whether through negotiation, restructuring or bankruptcy, reductions or deferrals in their rent payments and other obligations to us or early termination of their leases;

We may experience difficulties in leasing, selling or redeveloping vacant properties or renewing expiring or terminated leases on terms we consider acceptable, or at all;

We may experience difficulty accessing the bank lending, capital markets and other financial markets on attractive terms, or at all, and a severe disruption or instability in the national or global financial markets or deterioration in credit and financing conditions may adversely affect our cost of capital, our access to capital to acquire additional properties necessary to grow our business and to fund our business operations, our ability to pay dividends on our common stock, our ability to pay the principal of and interest on our indebtedness and our other liabilities on a timely basis, and our tenants’ ability to fund their business operations and meet their obligations to us and others;

The financial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, could negatively impact our credit ratings, the interest rates on our borrowings, and, if the COVID-19 pandemic continues for an extended period of time, our future compliance with financial covenants under our credit facility and other debt instruments, which could result in a default and potentially an acceleration of indebtedness, any of which could negatively impact our ability to make additional borrowings under our revolving credit facility or incur other indebtedness, and pay dividends on our common stock and to pay the principal of and interest on our indebtedness and our other obligations when due;

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the market value of our properties may require that we incur impairment charges, asset write-downs or similar charges;

The impact on the ability of our employees, including members of our management team or board of directors, to fulfill their duties to us as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, either as a result of measures taken to limit its spread or as a result of infection; and

A general decline in business activity and demand for real estate transactions could adversely affect our ability to grow our portfolio of properties.

The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact our operations and those of our tenants will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the scope, severity and duration of the pandemic, the actions taken to contain the pandemic or limit its impact, and the direct and indirect economic effects of the pandemic and containment measures. To date, the COVID-19 pandemic and the measures taken to limit its spread have adversely impacted and may continue to adversely impact, among other things, the ability of a number of our tenants’ to generate adequate, or in certain cases, any revenue from their businesses, the ability or willingness of many of our tenants to pay rent in full, or at all, or on a timely basis, and our ability to collect rent from our tenants. It may also adversely impact our ability to enforce remedies for the failure to pay rent, our occupancy levels, our ability to acquire properties or complete construction projects, and may otherwise negatively affect our business.

In addition, most of our tenants operate retail businesses that depend on customer traffic. As a result, conditions that lead to a decline in customer traffic (including quarantine, shelter-in-place or similar orders requiring that people remain in their homes or orders requiring business closures) have had and so long as those conditions continue to exist will continue to have an adverse effect on the business, results of operations, financial condition and liquidity of a number of our tenants, and their willingness or ability to pay rent, to renew expiring leases or to enter into new leases on terms favorable to us, or at all.

As a result of the foregoing, we cannot predict the number of tenants that will not pay rent in the future, nor can we predict whether tenants who have paid rent in the past will continue to do so. As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, tenants may cease to pay their rent obligations to us in full or at all, and tenants may elect not to renew their leases, seek to terminate their leases, seek relief from their leases (including through negotiation, restructuring or bankruptcy), or decline to renew expiring leases or enter into new leases, all of which may adversely impact our rental revenue and occupancy rates, generate additional expenses, result in impairment charges or other write-downs of assets, and adversely impact our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity. In addition, as we believe to be the case with many retail landlords, we have received many short-term rent relief requests, most often in the form of rent deferral requests, or requests for further discussion from tenants. We believe that not all tenant requests will ultimately result in modification agreements, nor have we relinquished our contractual rights under our lease agreements. April collections and rent relief requests to-date may not be indicative of collections or requests in any future period.

Likewise, the deterioration of global economic conditions as a result of the pandemic may ultimately lead to a further decrease in occupancy levels and rental rates across our portfolio as tenants reduce or defer their spending, institute restructuring plans or file for bankruptcy. Some of our major tenants have announced temporary closures of some or all of their properties or have substantially reduced their operations in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, and additional tenants may do so in the future. In addition, the measures taken to prevent the spread of COVID-19 (including quarantine, shelter-in-place or similar orders requiring that people remain in their homes) have led and may lead to further closures, or other operational issues at our properties, or delays in acquisition activities, construction projects, and other corporate actions, all of which may materially adversely impact our operations.

In addition, in light of the uncertain and rapidly evolving situation relating to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have taken certain precautionary measures within our organization intended to help reduce the risk of the virus to our employees, our tenants, and the communities in which we operate, including the following:

We have instructed all of our employees to work remotely;

We have suspended all non-essential travel worldwide for our employees; and

We have suspended employee attendance at industry events and in-person work-related meetings.

While we anticipate that the foregoing measures are temporary, we cannot predict the specific duration for which these precautionary measures will stay in effect, and we may elect to take additional measures as the information available to us continues to develop. These actions, and any future actions we may take in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, could further negatively impact our business, financial condition, results of operations and liquidity.

For the foregoing reasons, we expect that the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and related containment measures, including the impact on regional, national and global economies, will likely adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and liquidity, and, given unpredictability of the scope, severity and duration of the pandemic, such impacts may be material.

To the extent the COVID-19 pandemic and related containment measures continue to adversely affect regional, national and global economic conditions and financial markets, as well as the business, results of operations, financial conditions and liquidity of us and our tenants, it may also have the effect of heightening many of the risks described in this ‘‘Risk Factors’’ section and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and many of the risks described under the caption ‘‘Risk Factors’’ and elsewhere in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, including the risks resulting from our significant indebtedness; our need to generate sufficient cash flows to service our indebtedness, to pay dividends on our common stock and provide for our other cash needs; our ongoing need for external financing; our ability to access borrowings under our credit facility; our ability to comply with the covenants contained in the agreements that govern our indebtedness; our dependency on key personnel; and the impact of negative market conditions or adverse events on our tenants. In addition, in light of the COVID-19 pandemic and the measures taken to limit its spread, our historical information regarding our business, properties, results of operations, financial condition or liquidity may not be representative of the future results of operations, financial condition, liquidity or other financial or operating results of us, our properties or our business.
