• Revenue growth: Q2 total revenue rose 10.6 % YoY to $430.8 m; 1H revenue up 7.9 % to $840.6 m.
• Earnings pressure: Q2 net income attributable to WPC fell 64 % YoY to $51.2 m (EPS $0.23 vs $0.65) as $148.8 m of “Other losses” and higher interest expense offset topline gains. 1H EPS declined to $0.80 (-41 %).
• Portfolio expansion: 81 property acquisitions closed YTD for $542.7 m; portfolio now 1,600 net-lease assets (178 m sq ft) plus 72 operating properties. Occupancy 98.2 % with 12.1-year WA lease term.
• Dispositions & gains: Sold 17 net-lease assets and 10 self-storage assets; realized $52.8 m Q2 gain on sale ($96.6 m YTD).
• Balance sheet: Real estate investments up to $15.34 bn (+5.2 % YTD). Debt increased to $8.64 bn (net revolver balance $660.9 m) while cash fell to $244.8 m (-62 % YTD). Net debt/total assets ≈48 %.
• Capital activity: Drew $1.47 bn on revolver, repaid $865 m; repaid $450 m senior notes; issued no new notes. Declared quarterly dividend of $0.90/sh (annualized $3.60, 7.4 % yield*).
• Cash flow: Operating cash flow $677.2 m vs $1.26 bn prior-year period; decline driven by lower realized gains and higher working-capital uses.
• Equity: Book value slipped 2.5 % to $8.21 bn; AOCI loss deepened to $-264.8 m on derivative marks & FX.

*Yield based on 7/25/25 close.

Positive

• Revenue up 10.6 % YoY driven by CPI-linked rent escalations and acquisitions.
• Portfolio occupancy 98.2 % with 12.1-year WA lease term provides long-term cash-flow visibility.
• $52.8 m Q2 gain on asset sales demonstrates ability to recycle capital above book value.
• Continued dividend growth—declared $0.90/sh, up from $0.87 last year.

Negative

• EPS declined 64 % YoY due to $149 m of other losses and higher interest expense.
• Cash balance fell 62 % YTD while debt increased $597 m, weakening liquidity.
• Interest expense up 10 % YoY as variable-rate borrowings grow.
• Impairment charges and hedge losses contributed to $14.1 m YTD OCI loss, signalling valuation pressure.

Insights

REIT Equity Analyst

TL;DR: Solid rent growth and high occupancy, but earnings compressed by mark-to-market losses and rising leverage.

Core leasing metrics remain strong: 98 % occupancy, CPI-linked rents, and 12-year WA lease term underpin predictable cash flows. Net-lease revenue climbed ≈11 % on acquisitions and contractual bumps. However, $149 m of "Other losses" (likely unrealized hedge/FX marks) plus $72 m interest expense cut EPS to $0.23. Cash balance dropped $396 m YTD as $543 m acquisitions and $391 m dividends outpaced sale proceeds and credit-facility draws, pushing net debt higher and revolver usage to $661 m. Leverage sits near mid-5× net-debt/EBITDA—a manageable level but rising rate exposure bears monitoring. Management continues recycling: $309 m asset sales at attractive cap rates generated $53 m gains. Dividend coverage (payout ≈112 % of FFO proxy) looks tight; sustaining hikes will require stabilizing non-cash losses and restoring FFO growth.

Portfolio Risk Manager

TL;DR: Higher debt, shrinking liquidity, and volatility in non-cash items temper otherwise stable real-estate fundamentals.

Debt rose $597 m YTD while cash tumbled, taking quick-ratio below 0.1×. Variable-rate borrowings (revolver + term loans) now exceed $1.9 bn, exposing WPC to SOFR/EURIBOR moves despite hedges—note $32 m OCI hedge losses this quarter. Interest coverage slid to ~3×. Impairments and OCI swings signal valuation sensitivity, though underlying property NOI is intact. The 7 %+ dividend yield remains attractive but hinges on capital-market access; management’s ability to term out revolver balances and trim non-core assets will be critical in H2.
