W.P. Carey reports Q4 AFFO $1.19, consensus $1.21

Reports Q4 revenue $412.4M, consensus $428.15M. “Our 2023 fourth quarter and full year results largely reflected the near-term impacts of executing the office exit strategy we announced in September,” said Jason Fox, Chief Executive Officer of W. P. Carey. “We’ve made excellent progress in a short space of time thanks to the hard work and dedication of our employees, bringing our office exposure down to less than 3% of ABR. “Looking ahead, we view 2024 as a transitional year, establishing a new baseline from which to grow AFFO. In addition to the rent growth embedded in our portfolio and a growing pipeline, I’m pleased to say we’ve already closed $177 million of investments and have over $100 million of capital projects and commitments scheduled for completion this year. We’ve raised our expectations for 2024 investment volume and we’re very well-positioned to execute – with exceptionally strong liquidity and a lower cost of capital – in an improving investment environment.”
