P. Carey Inc. (“W. P. Carey”) is a REIT that, together with our consolidated subsidiaries, invests primarily in operationally-critical, single-tenant commercial real estate properties located in the United States and Northern and Western Europe that are leased on a long-term basis. We earn revenue principally by leasing the properties we own to companies on a triple-net lease basis, which generally requires each tenant to pay the costs associated with operating and maintaining the property.</span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Founded in 1973, our shares of common stock are listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “WPC.”</span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">We elected to be taxed as a REIT under Section 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code effective as of February 15, 2012.

Our business is characterized as investing in operationally-critical, single-tenant commercial real estate properties that are leased on a long-term basis. These economic characteristics are similar across various property types, geographic locations, and industries in which our tenants operate and therefore considered one operating segment. The operating results of both the real estate and investment management activities are regularly reviewed, in the aggregate, by our chief operating decision maker to evaluate performance and allocate resources. Accordingly, all operations have been considered to represent one reportable segment, which are reported on our consolidated statements of income and our consolidated balance sheets. As a result of this change, we have conformed prior period segment information to reflect how we currently view our business.</span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Lease revenues from our real estate investments generate the vast majority of our earnings. We invest primarily in commercial properties located in the United States and Northern and Western Europe, which are leased to companies on a triple-net lease basis. At September 30, 2024, our portfolio was comprised of our full or partial ownership interests in 1,430 properties, totaling approximately 172 million square feet, substantially all of which were net leased to 346 tenants, with a weighted-average lease term of 12.2 years and an occupancy rate of 98.8%. In addition, at September 30, 2024, our portfolio was comprised of full or partial ownership interests in 84 operating properties, including 78 self-storage properties, four hotels, and two student housing properties, totaling approximately 6.4 million square feet.</span></div>
