OVERVIEW
Realty Income (NYSE: O), an S&P 500 company, is real estate partner to the world's leading companies*®*. Founded
in 1969, we serve our clients as a full-service real estate capital provider. As of June 30, 2026, we have a portfolio of
over 15,500 properties in all 50 states of the United States ("U.S."), the United Kingdom ("U.K."), and eight other
countries in Europe. We are known as “The Monthly Dividend Company®” and have a mission to invest in people
and places to deliver dependable monthly dividends that increase over time. Since our founding, we have declared
673 consecutive monthly dividends and are a member of the S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrats® index for having

As of June 30, 2026, we owned or held interests in 15,588 properties, with approximately 353.2 million square feet
of leasable space leased to 1,798 clients doing business in 92 separate industries. Of the 15,588 properties in our
portfolio as of June 30, 2026, 15,218, or 97.6%, were single-tenant properties, and the remaining were multi–client
properties. Our total portfolio of properties as of June 30, 2026 had a weighted average remaining lease term
(excluding rights to extend a lease at the option of the client) of approximately 8.6 years. Total portfolio annualized
base rent (defined as our pro-rata share of contractual monthly base rent for all leases in place and exchange rates
as of the balance sheet date, multiplied by 12) on our leases as of June 30, 2026 was $5.28 billion.
As of June 30, 2026, approximately 34.3% of our total portfolio annualized base rent comes from properties leased
to our investment grade clients, their subsidiaries or affiliated companies. As of June 30, 2026, our top 20 clients
(based on percentage of total portfolio annualized base rent) represented approximately 34.8% of our annualized
base rent and 13 of these clients have investment grade credit ratings or are subsidiaries or affiliates of investment
grade companies. Approximately 91% of our annualized retail base rent as of June 30, 2026, is derived from our
clients with a service, non-discretionary, and/or low price point component to their business.
Unless otherwise specified, references to rental revenue in the Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations are exclusive of reimbursements from clients for recoverable real estate taxes
and operating expenses totaling $91.1 million and $87.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
We are exposed to economic risks from interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. A portion of these risks
is hedged, but the risks may affect our financial statements.
Interest Rates
We are exposed to interest rate changes primarily as a result of our revolving credit facilities and commercial paper
programs, term loans, mortgages payable, and long-term notes and bonds used to maintain liquidity and expand
our real estate investment portfolio and operations. Our interest rate risk management objective is to limit the impact
of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flow and to lower our overall borrowing costs. To achieve these
objectives, we primarily issue long-term notes and bonds, primarily at fixed rates.
In order to mitigate and manage the effects of interest rate risks on our operations, we may utilize a variety of
financial instruments, including interest rate swaps, interest rate swaptions, interest rate locks and caps. The use of
these types of instruments to hedge our exposure to changes in interest rates carries additional risks, including
counterparty credit risk, the enforceability of hedging contracts and the risk that unanticipated and significant
changes in interest rates will cause a significant loss of basis in the contract. To limit counterparty credit risk, we will
seek to enter into such agreements with major financial institutions with favorable credit ratings. There can be no
assurance that we will be able to adequately protect against the foregoing risks or realize an economic benefit that
exceeds the related amounts incurred in connection with engaging in such hedging activities. We do not enter into
any derivative transactions for speculative or trading purposes.
The following table presents, by year of expected maturity, the principal amounts, average interest rates and
estimated fair values of our fixed and variable rate debt as of June 30, 2026. This information is presented to
evaluate the expected cash flows and sensitivity to interest rate changes.

Expected Maturity Data

(1)Excludes net discounts recorded on mortgages payable, net discounts recorded on notes payable, and deferred financing costs on term loans,
mortgages payable, and notes payable.
(2)We base the estimated fair value of our 2026 Term Loan Facility, mortgages and private senior notes payable as of June 30, 2026, on the
relevant forward interest rate curve, plus an applicable credit-adjusted spread. We base the estimated fair value of the publicly traded fixed
rate senior notes and bonds, and other term loans as discussed in note 7*,* Term Loans as of June 30, 2026, on the indicative market prices
and recent trading activity of our senior notes and bonds payable. We believe that the carrying values of the credit facilities, and commercial
paper borrowings reasonably approximate their estimated fair values as of June 30, 2026.
(3)Calculated as the weighted average interest rate as of June 30, 2026. The weighted average interest rates reflect the effective fixed rate for
floating rate debt that is fixed through interest rate swaps.
(4)In connection with our merger with Spirit in January 2024, we effectively assumed Spirit’s existing term loans and fixed rate swaps, which carry
a weighted average fixed interest rate of 3.3% for our term loan maturing in August 2027. In November 2025, we entered into interest rate
swaps, which fixed our per annum interest rate at 4.3% for our term loan initially maturing in January 2028. In March 2026, we closed a
$693.9 million unsecured term loan due January 2036 at a fixed rate of 4.9%. Concurrently, we executed a cross-currency swap on
$500.0 million of proceeds for approximately €431.0 million, achieving an effective blended borrowing rate of 4.34%. In June 2026, the Fund
fully drew on its $380.0 million unsecured delayed draw term loan, which initially matures in April 2028, and is subject to interest rate swaps
that fix the effective interest rate at 4.92%.
The table above incorporates only those exposures that exist as of June 30, 2026. It does not consider those
exposures or positions that could arise after that date. As a result, our ultimate realized gain or loss, with respect to
interest rate fluctuations, would depend on the exposures that arise during the period, our hedging strategies at the
time, and interest rates.
As of June 30, 2026, our outstanding mortgages payable, notes, and bonds had fixed interest rates. Interest on our
credit facilities and commercial paper borrowings and term loans is variable. However, the variable interest rate
feature on certain term loans has been mitigated by interest rate swap agreements, while one term loan bears a
fixed contractual rate. As of June 30, 2026, a 1% change in interest rates on our variable-rate debt would change
our interest rate costs by $27.6 million.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rates
We are exposed to foreign currency exchange variability related to investments in and earnings from our foreign
investments. Foreign currency market risk is the possibility that our results of operations or financial position could
be better or worse than planned because of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. We primarily hedge our
foreign currency risk by borrowing in the currencies in which we invest thereby providing a natural hedge. We
continuously evaluate and manage our foreign currency risk through the use of derivative financial instruments,
including currency exchange swaps, and foreign currency forward contracts with financial counterparties where
practicable. Such derivative instruments are viewed as risk management tools and are not used for speculative or
trading purposes. Additionally, our inability to redeploy rent receipts from our international operations on a timely
basis subjects us to foreign exchange risk.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") that are designed to ensure that information required to be
disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods
specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated
and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as
appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure
controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed
and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management
necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and
procedures.
We carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and
procedures as of June 30, 2026, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer.
Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of June 30, 2026
our disclosure controls and procedures were effective and were operating at a reasonable assurance level.
Changes in Internal Controls
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended
June 30, 2026, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over
financial reporting.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls
Internal control over financial reporting cannot provide absolute assurance of achieving financial reporting objectives
because of its inherent limitations. Internal control over financial reporting is a process that involves human
diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgment and breakdowns resulting from human failures.
Internal control over financial reporting also can be circumvented by collusion or improper management override.
Because of such limitations, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a
timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of
the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not
eliminate, this risk.
