REALTY INCOME CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2024
(unaudited)
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Realty Income Corporation (“Realty Income,” the “Company,” “we,” “our” or “us”), a Maryland corporation, is an S&P 500 company and real estate partner to the world's leading companies. The Company was founded in 1969 and our shares of common stock trade on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") under the symbol “O”.
As of March 31, 2024, we owned or held interests in a diversified portfolio of 15,485 properties located in all 50 states of the United States ("U.S."), the United Kingdom ("U.K."), and six other countries in Europe, with approximately 334.2 million square feet of leasable space.
In January 2024, we completed our merger with Spirit Realty Capital, Inc. (“Spirit”). For more details, please see note 2 , Merger with Spirit Realty Capital, Inc.
Basis of Presentation . These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). Intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. The U.S. Dollar ("USD") is our reporting currency. Unless otherwise indicated, all dollar amounts are expressed in USD.
For our consolidated subsidiaries whose functional currency is not the USD, we translate their financial statements into USD at the time we consolidate those subsidiaries’ financial statements. Generally, assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. The resulting translation adjustments are included in 'Accumulated other comprehensive income' ("AOCI"), on our consolidated balance sheets. Certain balance sheet items, primarily equity and capital-related accounts, are reflected at the historical exchange rate. Income statement accounts are translated using the average exchange rate for the period.
We and certain of our consolidated subsidiaries have intercompany and third-party debt that is not denominated in our functional currency. When the debt is remeasured to the functional currency of the entity, a gain or loss can result. The resulting adjustment is reflected in 'Foreign currency and derivative gain, net' in our consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. In the statement of cash flows, cash flows denominated in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rates in effect at the time of the respective cash flows or at average exchange rates for the period, depending on the nature of the cash flow items.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary to present a fair statement of results for the interim periods presented have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2024 are not necessarily an indication of the results that may be expected for the entire year. Readers of this quarterly report should refer to our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, which are included in our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K , as certain disclosures that would substantially duplicate those contained in the audited financial statements have not been included in this report.
Principles of Consolidation. These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Realty Income and all other entities in which we have a controlling financial interest. We evaluate whether we have a controlling financial interest in an entity in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 810, Consolidation.
Voting interest entities ("VOEs") are entities considered to have sufficient equity at risk and which the equity holders have the obligation to absorb losses, the right to receive residual returns and the right to make decisions about the entity’s activities. We consolidate voting interest entities in which we have a controlling financial interest, which we typically have through holding of a majority of the entity’s voting equity interests.
Variable interest entities ("VIEs") are entities that lack sufficient equity at risk or where the equity holders either do not have the obligation to absorb losses, do not have the right to receive residual returns, do not have the right to make decisions about the entity’s activities, or some combination of the above. A controlling financial interest in a VIE is present when an entity has a variable interest, or a combination of variable interests, that provides the entity with (i) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially
-6-
Table of Contents
be significant to the VIE. An entity that meets both conditions above is deemed the primary beneficiary and consolidates the VIE. We reassess our initial evaluation of whether an entity is a VIE when certain reconsideration events occur. We reassess our determination of whether we are the primary beneficiary of a VIE on an ongoing basis based on current facts and circumstances.
At March 31, 2024, we are considered the primary beneficiary of Realty Income, L.P. and certain investments, including investments in joint ventures. Below is a summary of selected financial data of such consolidated VIEs, included on our consolidated balance sheets at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 (in thousands):
March 31, 2024 December 31, 2023
Net real estate
$ 2,847,404 $ 2,866,272
Total assets
$ 3,582,159 $ 3,588,720
Total liabilities
$ 140,588 $ 134,366
The portion of a consolidated entity not owned by us is recorded as a noncontrolling interest. Noncontrolling interests are reflected on our consolidated balance sheets as a component of equity. Noncontrolling interests that were created or assumed as part of a business combination or asset acquisition were recognized at fair value as of the date of the transaction (see note 11, Noncontrolling Interests ).
Use of Estimates. The consolidated financial statements were prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Segment Reporting. We report our results in a single reportable segment, which reflects how our chief operating decision maker allocates resources and assesses our performance.
Income Taxes. We have elected to be taxed as a 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 in the U.S., we generally will not be required to pay U.S. income taxes on such income. Accordingly, no provision has been made for federal income taxes in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, except for federal income taxes of our taxable REIT subsidiaries ("TRS"). A TRS is a subsidiary of a REIT that is subject to federal, state and local income taxes, as applicable. Our use of TRS entities enables us to engage in certain business activities while complying with the REIT qualification requirements and to retain any income generated by these businesses for reinvestment without the requirement to distribute those earnings. For our international territories, we are liable for taxes in the U.K. and Spain. Accordingly, provisions have been made for U.K. and Spain income taxes. Therefore, the income taxes recorded on our consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income represent amounts accrued or paid by Realty Income and its subsidiaries for U.S. income taxes on our TRS entities, city and state income and franchise taxes, and income taxes for the U.K. and Spain.
Earnings and profits that determine the taxability of distributions to stockholders differ from net income reported for financial reporting purposes primarily due to differences in the estimated useful lives and methods used to compute depreciation and the carrying value (basis) of the investments in properties for tax purposes, among other things.
We regularly analyze our various international, federal and state filing positions and only recognize the income tax effect in our financial statements when certain criteria regarding uncertain income tax positions have been met. We believe that our income tax positions would more likely than not be sustained upon examination by all relevant taxing authorities. Therefore, no provisions for uncertain tax positions have been recorded on our consolidated financial statements.
Lease Revenue Recognition and Accounts Receivable. The majority of our leases are accounted for as operating leases. Under this method, leases that have fixed and d eterminable rent increases are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Any rental revenue contingent upon a client’s sales, or percentage rent, is recognized only after such client exceeds its sales breakpoint. Rental increases based upon changes in the consumer price indices are recognized only after the changes in the indexes have occurred and are then applied according to the lease agreements. Contractually obligated rental revenue from our clients for recoverable real estate taxes and operating expenses are included in contractually obligated reimbursements by our clients, a
-7-
Table of Contents
component of rental revenue, in the period when such costs are incurred. Taxes and operating expenses paid directly by our clients are recorded on a net basis.
Other revenue includes certain property-related revenue not included in rental revenue and interest income recognized on financing receivables for certain leases with above-market terms.
We assess the probability of collecting substantially all of the lease payments to which we are entitled under the original lease contract as required under ASC 842, Leases . We assess the collectability of our future lease payments based on an analysis of creditworthiness, economic trends and other facts and circumstances related to the applicable clients. If we conclude the collection of substantially all of the lease payments under a lease is less than probable, rental revenue recognized for that lease is limited to cash received going forward, existing operating lease receivables, including those related to straight-line rental revenue, must be written off as an adjustment to rental revenue, and no further operating lease receivables are recorded for that lease until such future determination is made that substantially all lease payments under that lease are now considered probable. If we subsequently conclude that the collection of substantially all lease payments under a lease is probable, a reversal of lease receivables previously written off is recognized.
Recent Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted.
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-09, Income Taxes , to enhance income tax disclosures, provide more information about tax risks and opportunities present in worldwide operations, and to disaggregate existing income tax disclosures. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024 on a prospective basis, with the option to apply the standard retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact on our financial statement disclosures.
In November 2023, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting , establishing improvements to reportable segments disclosures to enhance segment reporting under Topic 280. This ASU aims to change how public entities identify and aggregate operating segments and apply quantitative thresholds to determine their reportable segments. This ASU also requires public entities that operate as a single reportable segment to provide all segment disclosures in Topic 280, not just entity level disclosures. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 and the amendments should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented in the financial statements. We are currently evaluating the impact on our financial statement disclosures.
2. Merger with Spirit Realty Capital, Inc.
On October 29, 2023, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as amended, or the “Merger Agreement”) with Saints MD Subsidiary, Inc., (“Merger Sub”) a Maryland corporation and direct wholly owned subsidiary of Realty Income and Spirit, a Maryland corporation.
On January 23, 2024, we completed our merger with Spirit. Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement, Spirit merged with and into Merger Sub, with Merger Sub continuing as the surviving corporation (the “Merger”). At the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), (i) each outstanding share of Spirit common stock, par value $ 0.05 per share, automatically converted into 0.762 (the “Exchange Ratio”) of a newly issued share of our common stock, subject to adjustments as set forth in the Merger Agreement, and cash in lieu of fractional shares, and (ii) each outstanding share of Spirit’s 6.000 % Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $ 0.01 per share, converted into the right to receive one share of newly issued Realty Income 6.000 % Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, having substantially the same terms as the Spirit Series A Preferred Stock. Immediately prior to the Effective Time, each award of outstanding restricted Spirit common stock and Spirit performance share award was cancelled and converted into Realty Income common stock, using the Exchange Ratio. For more details, see note 16, Redeemable Preferred Stock.
The primary reason for the merger was to expand our size, scale and diversification, in order to further position us as the real estate partner of choice for large net lease transactions.

Table of Contents
Our merger with Spirit has been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations , with Realty Income as the accounting acquirer, which requires, among other things, that the assets acquired, and liabilities assumed be recognized at their acquisition date fair value. The fair value of the consideration transferred on the date of the acquisition is as follows (in thousands, except share and per share data):
Shares of Spirit common stock exchanged (1)
142,136,567
Exchange Ratio 0.762
Shares of Realty Income common stock issued 108,308,064
Opening price of Realty Income common stock on January 23, 2024 $ 55.80
Fair value of Realty Income common stock issued to the former holders of Spirit common stock $ 6,043,590
Shares of Realty Income Series A preferred stock issued in exchange for Spirit Series A preferred stock 6,900,000
Opening price of Realty Income Series A preferred stock on January 23, 2024 $ 24.26
Fair value of Realty Income Series A preferred stock issued to the former holders of Spirit Series A preferred stock $ 167,394
Cash paid for fractional shares $ 51
Less: Fair value of Spirit restricted stock and performance awards attributable to post-combination costs (2)
$ ( 24,751 )
Consideration transferred $ 6,186,284
(1) Includes 142,136,567 shares of Spirit common stock outstanding as of January 23, 2024, which were converted into Realty Income common stock at the Effective Time at an Exchange Ratio of 0.762 per share of Spirit common stock. The portion of the converted unvested Spirit Restricted Stock Awards related to post-combination expense is removed in footnote (2) below.
(2) Represents the fair value of fully vested Spirit restricted stock and performance share awards that were accelerated and converted into Realty Income common stock at the Effective Time, reflecting the value attributable to post-combination services. Spirit restricted stock and performance share awards are included in Spirit's outstanding common stock as of the merger date. The fair value attributable to pre-combination services was $ 41.7 million and is included in the consideration transferred above.
A. Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation
The following table summarizes the preliminary estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition (in thousands):
ASSETS
Land $ 1,853,895
Buildings and improvements 4,859,162
Total real estate held for investment 6,713,057
Real estate and lease intangibles held for sale 35,650
Cash and cash equivalents 93,683
Accounts receivable 12,959
Lease intangible assets (1)
2,214,615
Goodwill 1,259,864
Other assets 174,672
Total assets acquired $ 10,504,500
LIABILITIES
Accounts payable and accrued expenses $ 56,407
Lease intangible liabilities (2)
378,369
Other liabilities 101,954
Term loan 1,300,000
Notes payable 2,481,486
Total liabilities assumed $ 4,318,216
Net assets acquired, at fair value $ 6,186,284
Total purchase price $ 6,186,284
(1) The weighted average amortization period for acquired lease intangible assets is 10.8 years.
(2) The weighted average amortization period for acquired lease intangible liabilities is 8.3 years.
The assessment of fair value is preliminary and is based on information that was available to management at the time the consolidated financial statements were prepared. Measurement period adjustments will be recorded in the
-9-
Table of Contents
period in which they are determined, as if they had been completed at the acquisition date. As of March 31, 2024, we had not finalized the determination of fair values allocated to certain assets and liabilities. Accordingly, certain tangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, the valuation of intangible assets acquired, loss contingencies, and goodwill are subject to change. The finalization of our purchase accounting assessment could result in changes in the valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed up to a year after the date of our merger with Spirit, which could be material.
A preliminary estimate of approximately $ 1.26 billion has been allocated to goodwill. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The recognized goodwill is attributable to expected synergies and benefits arising from the merger transaction, including anticipated financing and corporate overhead cost savings. None of the goodwill recognized is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.
B. Merger and Integration-Related Costs
In conjunction with our merger with Spirit, we incurred merger-related transaction costs of $ 94.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024, primarily consisting of employee severance, post-combination share-based compensation, transfer taxes, and various professional fees directly attributable to the Merger.
C. Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information
The following unaudited pro forma information presents a summary of our combined results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, as if our merger with Spirit had occurred on January 1, 2023 (in millions, except per share data). The following pro forma financial information is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations had the acquisition been effected on the assumed date, nor is it necessarily an indication of trends in future results for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, differences between the assumptions used to prepare the pro forma information, basic shares outstanding and dilutive equivalents, cost savings from operating efficiencies, potential synergies, and the impact of incremental costs incurred in integrating the businesses.

Total (3)

(1) The initial weighted 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 client could default on the payment of contractual rent (defined as the monthly aggregate cash amount charged to clients, inclusive of monthly base rent receivables), we cannot provide assurance that the actual return on the funds invested will remain at the percentages listed above. Contractual net operating income used in the calculation of initial weighted average cash lease yield includes approximately $ 0.5 million received as settlement credits as reimbursement of free rent periods for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
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 weighted 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.
(2) Includes £ 8.7 million of investments in U.K. development properties and € 8.4 million of investments in Spain development properties, converted at the applicable exchange rates on the funding dates.
(3) Our clients occupying the new properties are 89.7 % retail and 10.3 % industrial based on net operating income. Approximately 41.0 % of the net operating income generated from acquisitions during the three months ended March 31, 2024 is from investment grade rated clients, their subsidiaries, or affiliated companies.
The aggregate purchase price of the assets acquired during the three months ended March 31, 2024 has been allocated as follows (in millions):
Acquisitions - USD Acquisitions - Sterling Acquisitions - Euro
Land $ 18.4 £ 59.0 € 2.0

(1) The weighted average amortization period for acquired lease intangible assets is 9.4 years.
(2) USD-denominated other assets consist entirely of financing receivables with above-market terms.
(3) The weighted average amortization period for acquired lease intangible liabilities is 12.0 years.
The properties acquired during the three months ended March 31, 2024 generated total revenue and net income of $ 2.6 million and $ 0.9 million, respectively.

B. Investments in Existing Properties
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we capitalized costs of $ 7.4 million on existing properties in our portfolio, consisting of $ 6.4 million for non-recurring building improvements, $ 0.9 million for re-leasing costs, and less than $ 0.1 million for recurring capital expenditures. In comparison, during the three months ended March 31, 2023, we capitalized costs of $ 13.8 million on existing properties in our portfolio, consisting of $ 13.3 million for non-recurring building improvements, $ 0.4 million for re-leasing costs, and $ 0.1 million for recurring capital expenditures.
C. Properties with Existing Leases
The value of the in-place and above-market leases is recorded to 'Lease intangible assets, net' on our consolidated balance sheets, and the value of the below-market leases is recorded to 'Lease intangible liabilities, net' on our consolidated balance sheets.
The values of the in-place leases are amortized as depreciation and amortization expense. The amounts amortized to expense for all of our in-place leases, for the three months ended March 31, 2024, and 2023 were $ 211.5 million and $ 157.4 million, respectively.
The values of the above-market and below-market leases are amortized over the term of the respective leases, including any bargain renewal options, as an adjustment to rental revenue in our consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. The amounts amortized as a net decrease to rental revenue for capitalized above-market and below-market leases for the three months ended March 31, 2024, and 2023 were $ 9.1 million and $ 14.6 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 March 31, 2024 (dollars in thousands):

(1) The total carrying amount of the investments was greater than the underlying equity in net assets (i.e., basis difference) by $ 2.2 million as of March 31, 2024.
A. Bellagio Las Vegas Joint Venture Interests
Our investment in the joint venture that owns a 95.0 % interest in the real estate of The Bellagio Las Vegas includes $ 301.4 million of common equity for an indirect interest of 21.9 % in the property and a $ 650.0 million preferred equity interest. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we recognized interest income of $ 13.0 million for 8.1 % preferential cumulative distributions within 'Other revenue' in our consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. The unconsolidated entity had total debt outstanding of $ 3.0 billion as of March 31, 2024, all of which was non-recourse to us with limited customary exceptions.
B. Data Center Development Joint Venture
We own an 80.0 % equity interest in a data center development joint venture; however, we are not the primary beneficiary because we do not have power to direct activities that significantly impact the joint venture's economic performance. Our maximum exposure to loss associated with this VIE is limited to our equity investment and our pro rata share of the remaining $ 70.1 million of estimated development costs for the first phase of the project.

The interest only loan bears interest at 8.25 % subject to annual increases and matures in October 2038. In conjunction with our merger with Spirit, we acquired a mortgage loan with a principal amount of $ 33.0 million and estimated its fair value to be $ 32.8 million at the acquisition date. This 10 % fixed-rate, interest only loan is collateralized by four single-tenant properties and matures in March 2025. In April 2024, this $ 33.0 million loan was repaid in full.

7. Revolving Credit Facility and Commercial Paper Programs
A. Credit Facility
We have a $ 4.25 billion unsecured revolving multi-currency credit facility that matures in June 2026, includes two six-month extensions that can be exercised at our option, and allows us to borrow in up to 14 currencies, including USD. Our revolving credit facility also has a $ 1.0 billion expansion option, which is subject to obtaining lender commitments. Under our revolving credit facility, our current investment grade credit ratings provide for USD borrowings at the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"), plus 0.725 % with a SOFR adjustment charge of 0.10 % and a revolving credit facility fee of 0.125 %, for all-in pricing of 0.95 % over SOFR, British Pound Sterling at the SONIA, plus 0.725 % with a SONIA adjustment charge of 0.0326 % and a revolving credit facility fee of 0.125 %, for all-in pricing of 0.8826 % over SONIA, and Euro Borrowings at one-month Euro Interbank Offered Rate (“EURIBOR”), plus 0.725 %, and a revolving credit facility fee of 0.125 %, for all-in pricing of 0.85 % over one-month EURIBOR.
As of March 31, 2024, we had a borrowing capacity of $ 3.44 billion available on our revolving credit facility (subject to customary conditions to borrowing) and an outstanding balance of $ 0.8 billion, comprised entirely of Sterling borrowings. There was no outstanding balance at December 31, 2023.
The weighted average interest rate on outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility was 6.2 % and 3.7 % during the three months ended March 31, 2024, and 2023, respectively. At March 31, 2024, our weighted average interest rate on borrowings outstanding under our revolving credit facility was 5.9 %. Our revolving credit facility is subject to various leverage and interest coverage ratio limitations, and at March 31, 2024, we were in compliance with the covenants under our revolving credit facility.
As of March 31, 2024, credit facility origination costs of $ 11.0 million are included in 'Other assets, net', as compared to $ 12.3 million at December 31, 2023, on our consolidated balance sheets. These costs are being amortized over the remaining term of our revolving credit facility.
B. Commercial Paper Programs
We have a USD-denominated unsecured commercial paper program, under which we may issue unsecured commercial paper notes up to a maximum aggregate amount outstanding of $ 1.5 billion, as well as a Euro-denominated unsecured commercial paper program, which permits us to issue additional unsecured commercial notes up to a maximum aggregate amount of $ 1.5 billion (or foreign currency equivalent). Our Euro-denominated unsecured commercial paper program may be issued in USD or various foreign currencies, including but not limited to, Euros, Sterling, Swiss Francs, Yen, Canadian Dollars, and Australian Dollars, in each case, pursuant to customary terms in the European commercial paper market.
The commercial paper ranks pari passu in right of payment with all of our other unsecured senior indebtedness outstanding, exclusive of unexchanged VEREIT and Spirit bonds, from time to time, including borrowings under our revolving credit facility, our term loans and our outstanding senior unsecured notes (and is structurally subordinated to all our subsidiary debt). Proceeds from commercial paper borrowings are used for general corporate purposes.
-15-
Table of Contents
As of March 31, 2024, the balance of borrowings outstanding under our commercial paper programs was $ 216.0 million, comprised entirely of Euro-denominated borrowings ("EUR borrowings"), as compared to $ 764.4 million outstanding commercial paper borrowings, including € 583.0 million of EUR borrowings, at December 31, 2023. The weighted average interest rate on outstanding borrowings under our commercial paper programs was 4.5 % and 3.5 % for the three months ended March 31, 2024, and 2023, respectively. As of March 31, 2024, our weighted average interest rate on outstanding borrowings under our commercial paper programs was 4.2 %. We use our $ 4.25 billion revolving credit facility as a liquidity backstop for the repayment of the notes issued under the commercial paper programs. The commercial paper borrowings generally carry a term of less than a year .
We review our credit facility and commercial paper programs and may seek to extend, renew or replace our credit facility and commercial paper programs, to the extent we deem appropriate.
8. Term Loans
In January 2024, in connection with our merger with Spirit, we entered into an amended and restated term loan agreement (which replaced Spirit's then-existing term loans with various lenders). The amended and restated term loan agreements are fixed through interest rate swaps at a weighted average interest rate of 3.9 %. Pursuant to the amended and restated term loan agreement, we borrowed $ 800.0 million in aggregate total borrowings, $ 300.0 million of which matures in August 2025 and $ 500.0 million of which matures in August 2027 (the “$ 800 million term loan agreement”). We also entered into an amended and restated term loan agreement pursuant to which we borrowed $ 500.0 million in aggregate total borrowings which matures in June 2025 (the “$ 500 million term loan agreement”).
Our 2023 term loan agreement allows us to incur up to an aggregate of $ 1.5 billion in multi-currency borrowings. As of March 31, 2024, we had $ 1.1 billion in multi-currency borrowings, including $ 90.0 million, £ 705.0 million, and € 85.0 million in outstanding borrowings. The 2023 term loans mature in January 2025, with one remaining twelve-month maturity extension available at our option. Our A3/A- credit ratings provide for a borrowing rate of 80 basis points over the applicable benchmark rate, which includes adjusted SOFR for USD-denominated loans, adjusted SONIA for Sterling-denominated loans, and EURIBOR for Euro-denominated loans. In January 2024, we entered into interest rate swaps which fix our per annum interest rate at 4.9 % until term loan maturity in January 2026.
Deferred financing costs were $ 2.5 million at March 31, 2024 and are included net of the term loans principal balance, as compared to $ 0.1 million related to our 2023 term loans at December 31, 2023, on our consolidated balance sheets. These costs are being amortized over the remaining term of the term loans. As of March 31, 2024, we were in compliance with the covenants contained in the term loans.
9. Mortgages Payable
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we made $ 621.2 million in principal payments, including the full repayment of two mortgages for $ 620.0 million. No mortgages were assumed during the three months ended March 31, 2024. Assumed mortgages are secured by the properties on which the debt was placed and are considered non-recourse debt with limited customary exceptions which vary from loan to loan.
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 March 31, 2024, 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 $ 0.4 million at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. These costs are being amortized over the remaining term of each mortgage.

(1) In connection with our merger with Spirit, we completed our debt exchange offer to exchange all outstanding notes issued by Spirit Realty, L.P. ("Spirit OP") on January 23, 2024 for new notes issued by Realty Income. Prior to the completion of our merger with Spirit on January 23, 2024, these notes were not the obligation of Realty Income. Additional details regarding the exchange offers are provided in the Note Exchange Offers Associated with our Merger with Spirit section below.
(2) Interest paid annually. Interest on the remaining senior unsecured notes and bond obligations included in the table is paid semi-annually.
(3) As a result of our merger with Spirit, the carrying values of the senior notes exchanged were adjusted to fair value. In conjunction with the pricing of our senior unsecured notes due January 2026, we entered into three-year , fixed-to-variable interest rate swaps, which are accounted for as fair value hedges. See note 13, Derivative Instruments for further details.

Table of Contents
The following table summarizes the maturity of our notes and bonds payable as of March 31, 2024, excluding $ 254.1 million related to unamortized net discounts, deferred financing costs, and basis adjustments on interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges (dollars in millions):
Year of Maturity
Principal
2024 $ 350.0
2025 1,050.0

2027 2,321.5
2028 2,499.8
Thereafter 13,405.8
Totals
$ 22,002.1
As of March 31, 2024, the weighted average interest rate on our notes and bonds payable was 3.8 %, and the weighted average remaining years until maturity was 6.5 years.
Interest incurred on all of the notes and bonds was $ 200.5 million and $ 130.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, and 2023, respectively.
Our outstanding notes and bonds are unsecured; accordingly, we have not pledged any assets as collateral for these or any other obligations.
All of these notes and bonds contain various covenants, including: (i) a limitation on incurrence of any debt which would cause our debt to total adjusted assets ratio to exceed 60 %; (ii) a limitation on incurrence of any secured debt which would cause our secured debt to total adjusted assets ratio to exceed 40 %; (iii) a limitation on incurrence of any debt which would cause our debt service coverage ratio to be less than 1.5 times; and (iv) the maintenance at all times of total unencumbered assets not less than 150 % of our outstanding unsecured debt. At March 31, 2024, we were in compliance with these covenants.
B. Note Issuances
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we issued the following notes and bonds (in millions):

Table of Contents
To induce holders of the Spirit OP notes to participate in the exchange, Realty Income offered noteholders electing to exchange their notes a cash payment equal to 10 basis points of the note principal amount held. Across the various note classes, Realty Income had a success rate of approximately 98.1 % on the exchange, resulting in a cash payment of $ 2.7 million to participating noteholders. The exchange was accounted for as a modification of the existing Spirit OP notes assumed in our merger with Spirit . The interest rate, interest payment dates, redemption terms and maturity of each series of Realty Income notes issued by Realty Income in the exchange offers were the same as those of the corresponding series of Spirit notes exchanged. With respect to the notes originally issued by Spirit OP that remained outstanding, we amended the indenture governing such notes to, among other things, eliminate substantially all of the restrictive covenants in such indenture.
11. Noncontrolling Interests
As of March 31, 2024, we have eight entities with noncontrolling interests that we consolidate, including an operating partnership, Realty Income, L.P., and interests in consolidated property partnerships not wholly-owned by us.
The following table represents the change in the carrying value of all noncontrolling interests through March 31, 2024 (in thousands):

At March 31, 2024, we are considered the primary beneficiary of Realty Income, L.P. and other VIEs. For further information, see note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies .
12. Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (the exit price).
ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures , sets forth a fair value hierarchy that categorizes inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and lowest priority to unobservable inputs. Categorization within this hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
• Level 1 – Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities
• Level 2 – Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other market-corroborated inputs
• Level 3 – Inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement
-20-
Table of Contents
We evaluate our hierarchy disclosures each quarter and depending on various factors, it is possible that an asset or liability may be classified differently from period to period. Changes in the type of inputs may result in a reclassification for certain assets. We have not historically had changes in classifications and do not expect that changes in classifications between levels will be frequent.
The following tables present the carrying values and estimated fair values of financial instruments as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 (in millions):
March 31, 2024

A. Financial Instruments Not Measured at Fair Value on our Consolidated Balance Sheets
The fair value of short-term financial instruments such as cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, escrow deposits, accounts payable, distributions payable, line of credit payable and commercial paper borrowings, and other liabilities approximate their carrying value in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, due to their short-term nature. The aggregate fair value of our term loans approximates carrying value due to the frequent repricing of the variable interest rate charged on the borrowing.

(1) Excludes non-cash net premiums and discounts recorded on the mortgages payable. The unamortized balance of these net discounts was $ 0.5 million at March 31, 2024, and $ 0.4 million of net discounts at December 31, 2023. Also excludes deferred financing costs of $ 0.4 million at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
(2) Excludes non-cash net premiums and discounts recorded on notes payable. The unamortized balance of the net discounts was $ 159.4 million at March 31, 2024, and $ 125.3 million of net premiums at December 31, 2023. Also excludes deferred financing costs of $ 93.1 million and a favorable basis adjustment on interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges of $ 1.6 million at March 31, 2024, and deferred financing costs of $ 83.8 million and a favorable basis adjustment on interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges of $ 1.3 million at December 31, 2023.
The estimated fair values of our mortgages payable 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 3 of the fair value 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 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
B. Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
For derivative assets and liabilities, we may utilize interest rate swaps, interest rate swaptions, and forward-starting swaps to manage interest rate risk, and cross-currency swaps, currency exchange swaps, and foreign currency forwards to manage foreign currency risk. The valuation of these instruments is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves, spot and forward rates, as well as option volatility .
Derivative fair values also include credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both our own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. In adjusting the fair value of our derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, we have considered the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral postings, thresholds, mutual puts, and guarantees.
Although we have determined that the majority of the inputs used to value our derivatives fall within level 2 on the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with our derivatives utilize level three inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads, to evaluate the likelihood of default by ourselves and our counterparties. However, at March 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, 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. For more details on our derivatives, see note 13, Derivative Instruments .
C. Items Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis
Impairment of Real Estate Investments
Certain financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis and are subject to fair value adjustments only under certain circumstances, such as when an impairment write-down occurs.
Depending on impairment triggering events during the applicable period, impairments are typically recorded for properties sold, in the process of being sold, vacant, in bankruptcy, or experiencing difficulties with collection of rent.

Table of Contents
The following table summarizes our provisions for impairment on real estate investments during the periods indicated below (in millions):
Three months ended March 31,
2024 2023
Carrying value prior to impairment $ 191.1 $ 35.6
Less: total provisions for impairment (1) (2)
( 88.2 ) ( 13.2 )
Carrying value after impairment $ 102.9 $ 22.4
(1) Excludes provision for current expected credit loss of $ 1.3 million at March 31, 2024.
(2) Real estate assets that were deemed to be impaired for the three months ended March 31, 2024 primarily relate to two office properties which were acquired and retained in our merger with VEREIT, Inc. ("VEREIT") in 2021.
The valuation of impaired assets is determined using valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis, analysis of recent comparable sales transactions and purchase offers received from third parties, which are Level 3 inputs. We may consider a single valuation technique or multiple valuation techniques, as appropriate, when estimating the fair value of such real estate. Estimating future cash flows is highly subjective and estimates can differ materially from actual results.
13. Derivative Instruments
In the normal course of business, our operations are exposed to economic risks from interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. We may enter into derivative financial instruments to offset these underlying economic risks.
Derivatives Designated as Hedging Instruments - Cash Flow Hedges
We enter into foreign currency forward contracts to sell British Pound Sterling ("GBP") and Euro ("EUR") and buy USD to hedge the foreign currency risk associated with interest payments on intercompany loans denominated in GBP and EUR. Forward points on the forward contracts are included in the assessment of hedge effectiveness. We also execute variable-to-fixed interest rate swaps to add stability to interest expense and to manage our exposure to interest rate movements associated with our term loans and may also enter into interest rate swaption agreements.
Derivatives Designated as Hedging Instruments - Fair Value Hedges
Periodically, we enter into and designate fixed-to-floating interest rate swaps to manage interest rate risk by managing our mix of fixed-rate and variable-rate debt. These swaps involve the receipt of fixed-rate amounts for variable interest rate payments over the life of the swaps without exchange of the underlying principal amount. We also designate some of our cross-currency swaps as fair value hedges as we use them to hedge foreign currency risk associated with changes in spot rates on foreign-denominated debt. For these hedging instruments, we have elected to exclude the change in fair value of the cross-currency swaps related to both time value and cross-currency basis spread from the assessment of hedge effectiveness (the "excluded component"). Changes in the fair value of the cross-currency swaps attributable to these excluded components are recorded to other comprehensive income and subsequently recognized in 'Foreign currency and derivative gain, net' on a systematic and rational basis, as net cash settlements and interest accruals on the respective cross currency swaps occur, over the remaining life of the hedging instruments.
Derivatives Designated as Hedging Instruments - Net Investment Hedges
To mitigate the foreign currency exchange rate variations associated with our investment in EUR-denominated foreign operations, we may enter into derivative instruments, such as cross-currency swaps that qualify as net investment hedges under the criteria prescribed in accordance with ASC Topic 815-20, Hedging - General . We use the spot method of assessing hedge effectiveness and apply the consistent election to the excluded component by recognizing changes in the fair value of the hedging instruments attributable to the excluded component in the same manner as described above. Any difference between the change in the fair value of the excluded components and the amounts recognized in earnings is reported in other comprehensive income as part of the foreign cumulative translation adjustment. The gain or loss on the portion of the derivative instruments included in the assessment of effectiveness is reported in other comprehensive income as part of the 'Foreign currency translation adjustment' line item, to the extent the relationship is highly effective. If our net investment changes during a reporting period, the hedge relationship will be assessed for whether a de-designation is warranted (only if the hedge notional amount is outside of prescribed tolerance). Further, certain EUR-denominated bonds and borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loans (all as defined in Notes 7 and 8 , respectively) may be also designated as, and are
-23-
Table of Contents
effective as, net investment hedge. Changes in the value of such borrowings, related to changes in the spot rates, will be recorded in the same manner as foreign currency translation adjustments.
Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments
We enter into foreign currency exchange swap agreements to reduce the effects of currency exchange rate fluctuations between the USD, our reporting currency, and GBP and EUR. These derivative contracts generally mature within one year and are not designated as hedge instruments for accounting purposes. As the currency exchange swap is not accounted for as a hedging instrument, the change in fair value is recorded in earnings through the caption entitled 'Foreign currency and derivative gain, net' in our consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.

(3) This column represents maturity dates for instruments outstanding as of March 31, 2024.
(4) During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we entered into five variable-to-fixed interest rate swaps when we extended maturity of the 2023 term loans and designated them as cash flow hedges. We also designated five variable-to-fixed interest rate swaps we acquired from Spirit as cash flow hedges to mitigate the interest rate risk associated with the term loans we assumed in conjunction with our merger with Spirit. The acquisition date fair value of these derivatives was $ 35.1 million in total and will be reclassified from AOCI to interest expense over the remaining life of the term loans on a systematic and rational basis.
(5) There were six interest swaptions equal to $ 1 billion in notional entered into in March 2023, of which $ 800 million was terminated in January 2024 in connection with a senior unsecured note issuance. A total termination premium of $ 3.4 million we received was deferred in other comprehensive income and will be recognized in interest expense over the 10-year tenor of the notes due 2034. The remaining swaption of the $ 200 million notional expired in January 2024.
(6) USD fixed rate of 5.625 % and EUR weighted average fixed rate of 4.681 %.
(7) USD fixed rate of 5.625 % and EUR weighted average fixed rate of 4.716 %.
(8) Weighted average forward GBP-USD exchange rate of 1.28 .

16. Redeemable Preferred Stock
As part of the Merger Agreement with Spirit, each outstanding share of Spirit’s 6.000 % Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $ 0.01 per share, converted into the right to receive one share of newly issued Realty Income 6.000 % Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, having substantially the same terms as the Spirit Series A Preferred Stock, resulting in 6.9 million shares of Realty Income Series A Preferred Stock issued. We are authorized to issue up to 69.9 million shares of our preferred stock. As of March 31, 2024, we had 6.9 million shares of our preferred stock outstanding. The 6.000 % Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock trades on the NYSE under the ticker symbol "O PR".
The 6.000 % Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock is classified as mezzanine equity on our consolidated balance sheets as it is contingently redeemable for cash or the value of the property, rights or securities to be paid or distributed upon the occurrence of a change of control event, which is not solely within our control.
Our preferred stock pays cumulative cash dividends at the rate of 6.000 % per annum on their liquidation preference of $ 25.00 per share (equivalent to $ 1.50 per share on an annual basis). We may, at our option, redeem the 6.000 % Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, in whole or in part, at any time for cash at a redemption price of $ 25.00 per share, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends up to, but excluding, the redemption date. Dividends are payable quarterly in arrears on or about the last day of March, June, September and December of each year. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we paid one quarterly dividend to holders of our preferred stock totaling $ 0.375 per share, or $ 2.6 million.

The amount of share-based compensation costs recognized in 'General and administrative' in our consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income was $ 9.3 million and $ 6.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024, and 2023, respectively.
In connection with the Merger, each outstanding Spirit restricted stock award and performance share award was cancelled and converted into Realty Income common stock, using the Exchange Ratio in accordance with the Merger Agreement. The issuance is excluded from the sections below, as the awards were not granted under the 2021 Plan. The aggregate fair value of fully vested Spirit awards converted into Realty Income common stock was $ 66.5 million, of which i.) $ 41.7 million related to pre-combination services and is included in the consideration transferred in the merger and ii.) $ 24.8 million of expense was recognized in January in merger and integration-related costs related to the value attributable to post-combination services. For more details, please see note 2, Merger with Spirit Realty Capital, Inc.
A. Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we granted 296,871 shares of common stock under the 2021 Plan. This included 4,000 total shares of restricted stock granted to the new independent member of our Board of Directors, which vest in equal parts over a three-year service period. Our restricted stock awards granted to employees vest over a service period not exceeding four-years .
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we also granted 30,322 restricted stock units, all of which vest over a four-year service period.
As of March 31, 2024, the remaining unamortized share-based compensation expense related to restricted stock awards and units totaled $ 29.5 million, which is being amortized on a straight-line basis over the service period of each applicable award. The amount of share-based compensation is based on the fair value of the stock at the grant date. We define the grant date as the date the recipient and Realty Income have a mutual understanding of the key terms and conditions of the award, and the recipient of the grant begins to benefit from, or be adversely affected by, subsequent changes in the price of the shares.
B. Performance Shares
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we granted 274,358 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.
As of March 31, 2024, the remaining share-based compensation expense related to the performance shares totaled $ 29.7 million. The performance shares are being recognized on a tranche-by-tranche basis over the service period. The fair value of the performance shares was estimated on the date of grant using a Monte Carlo Simulation model.
18. 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.
