CEO Comments

"Our business continues to perform quite well and we are pleased with our year-to-date success and remain optimistic about our prospects for the future," said John P. Case, Realty Income's Chief Executive Officer. "In the second quarter, we completed $310 million in acquisitions and through the first half of the year we completed $663 million in acquisitions at record-high investment spreads relative to our weighted average cost of capital. Our distinct sector-leading cost of capital advantage continues to support our investment philosophy of acquiring the highest quality net-lease properties as we grow our portfolio. We continue to see an ample pipeline of investment opportunities. As a result, we are raising our 2016 acquisitions guidance to approximately $1.25 billion from our prior estimate of $900 million."

"We have successfully issued approximately a half billion dollars in equity year-to-date to permanently fund the majority of our acquisitions activity this year. We executed our most recent tranche of equity of $55 million during the final week of June at the lowest cost of equity in our company's history. We continue to fortify our balance sheet as our leverage metrics, financial flexibility and access to capital remain quite outstanding. During the second quarter, Moody's and Standard & Poor's recognized the strength of our balance sheet and liquidity profile by raising our credit rating outlook to Baa1 'positive' and BBB+ 'positive,' respectively. We are pleased to be one of the highest rated REITs in the industry and the highest rated company in the net-lease sector."

"Given the ongoing confidence we have in our business and our financial strength, we have elected to provide our shareholders with an additional increase in the monthly dividend of 1% beginning in September 2016. The payment of this dividend will result in an annual increase of 6.1% over the dividend paid in September 2015."

The calculation to determine net income for a real estate company includes impairments, gains on property sales and/or fair value adjustments on interest rate swaps. These items can vary from quarter to quarter and can significantly impact net income and period to period comparisons.

Funds From Operations Available to Common Stockholders (FFO)
FFO for the quarter ended June 30, 2016 increased 10.7% to $176.6 million, as compared to $159.5 million for the same quarter in 2015. FFO per share for the quarter ended June 30, 2016 increased 1.4% to $0.70, as compared to $0.69 for the same quarter in 2015. FFO for the quarter ended June 30, 2016 was impacted by a non-cash loss of $2.1 million, or $0.01 per share, resulting from fair value adjustments on our interest rate swaps. Each quarter we adjust the carrying value of our interest rate swaps to fair value. The changes in the fair value of our interest rate swaps are recorded to interest expense.

FFO for the six months ended June 30, 2016 increased 11.2% to $347.3 million, as compared to $312.4 million for the same period in 2015. FFO per share for the six months ended June 30, 2016 increased 1.5% to $1.38, as compared to $1.36 for the same period in 2015. FFO for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was impacted by a non-cash loss of $7.9 million, or $0.03 per share, resulting from fair value adjustments on our interest rate swaps, as described above.

Adjusted Funds From Operations Available to Common Stockholders (AFFO)
AFFO for the quarter ended June 30, 2016 increased 13.7% to $180.9 million, as compared to $159.1 million for the same quarter in 2015. AFFO per share for the quarter ended June 30, 2016 increased 4.4% to $0.71, as compared to $0.68 for the same quarter in 2015.

AFFO for the six months ended June 30, 2016 increased 14.7% to $356.8 million, as compared to $311.2 million for the same period in 2015. AFFO per share for the six months ended June 30, 2016 increased 4.4% to $1.42, as compared to $1.36 for the same period in 2015.

The company considers FFO and AFFO to be appropriate supplemental measures of a Real Estate Investment Trust's (REIT's) operating performance. Realty Income defines FFO consistent with the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trust's (NAREIT's) definition, as net income available to common stockholders, plus depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, plus impairments of real estate, and reduced by gains on sales of investment properties. AFFO further adjusts FFO for unique revenue and expense items, which the company believes are not as pertinent to the measurement of the company's ongoing operating performance. 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. 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. See the reconciliations of net income available to common stockholders to FFO and AFFO on pages six and seven of this press release.

Dividend Increases
In June 2016, Realty Income announced the 75^th consecutive quarterly dividend increase, which is the 86^th increase in the amount of the dividend since the company's listing on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) in 1994. The annualized dividend amount as of June 30, 2016 was $2.394 per share. The amount of monthly dividends paid per share increased 4.9% to $0.597 in the second quarter of 2016 from $0.569 in the same quarter in 2015.

September Dividend Declared
On July 26, 2016, our Board of Directors declared an increase in our common stock monthly cash dividend to $0.2015 per share from $0.1995 per share.

The ex-dividend date for September's dividend is August 30, 2016. The new monthly dividend amount represents an annualized dividend amount of $2.418 per share, or a 1.0% increase, as compared to the previous annualized dividend amount of $2.394.

As of June 30, 2016, Realty Income's portfolio of freestanding, single-tenant properties consisted of 4,646 properties located in 49 states and Puerto Rico, leased to 246 commercial tenants doing business in 47 industries. The properties are leased under long-term, net leases with a weighted average remaining lease term of 9.8 years.

Portfolio Management Activities
The company's portfolio of commercial real estate, owned primarily under 10- to 20-year net leases, continues to perform well and provides dependable rental revenue supporting the payment of monthly dividends. As of June 30, 2016, portfolio occupancy was 98.0% with 95 properties available for lease out of a total of 4,646 properties in the portfolio, as compared to 97.8% as of March 31, 2016, and 98.2% as of June 30, 2015.

Since March 31, 2016, when the company reported 101 properties available for lease, the company had 43 lease expirations, re-leased 37 properties and sold 12 vacant properties. Of the 37 properties re-leased during the second quarter of 2016, 29 properties were re-leased to the same tenants, three were re-leased to new tenants without vacancy, and five were re-leased to new tenants after a period of vacancy. The annual new rent on these re-leases was $3,814,000, as compared to the previous annual rent of $4,158,000 on the same properties, representing a rent recapture rate of 91.7% on the properties re-leased for the quarter ended June 30, 2016.

These properties are 100% leased with a weighted average lease term of approximately 13.5 years and an initial average cash lease yield of 6.3%. The tenants occupying the new properties operate in 14 industries, and the property types are 68.0% retail and 32.0% industrial, based on rental revenue. Approximately 58% of the rental revenue generated from acquisitions during the second quarter of 2016 is from investment grade rated tenants.

2016 Earnings Guidance

We estimate FFO per share for 2016 of $2.82 to $2.89, an increase of 1.8% to 4.3%, respectively, over 2015 FFO per share of $2.77. FFO per share for 2016 is based on a net income per share range of $1.15 to $1.22, plus estimated real estate depreciation of $1.75 per share, and reduced by potential estimated gains on sales of investment properties of $0.08 per share (in accordance with NAREIT's definition of FFO).

We estimate AFFO per share for 2016 of $2.85 to $2.90, an increase of 4.0% to 5.8%, respectively, over 2015 AFFO per share of $2.74. AFFO further adjusts FFO for unique revenue and expense items, which are not as pertinent to the measurement of Realty Income's ongoing operating performance.
