I am deeply proud of our company’s track record of success, humbled by the team’s many accomplishments, and extremely optimistic about our future. As I reflect on Realty Income’s bright prospects in this new decade, I am gratified that the mission which has guided the company since its inception remains core to our success. 4 REALTY INCOME 2019 ANNUAL REPORT William and Joan Clark founded Realty and the team to 194 employees.

I share this incredible honor with all of you and thank you from the bottom of my heart for the loyalty, hard work, and passion that makes this possible. Our dedication to the company’s mission has remained steadfast throughout this period of growth. However, the way we do business and serve our shareholders, clients, colleagues, and community has evolved. When we listed on the NYSE in 1994, our real estate portfolio of 628 properties was primarily concentrated in child care centers, restaurants, and automotive retailers.

Here are some of the key values which guide us: Christie Kelly, former Global Chief Financial Officer of Jones Lang Lasalle Incorporated, to our board in 2019. We are One Team, and we are dedicated to ensuring that we have the right people, processes, and systems in place, while fostering an environment in which all employees can excel. In 2019, we completed We do business with integrity, respect, an employee engagement survey to assess, transparency and humility, because how analyze, and respond to employee sentiment. we act is more important than what we The results were positive, affirming the accomplish We do right by our clients, because their success is our success continued strength of our corporate culture; however, we continuously monitor opportunities for improvement and will conduct employee engagement surveys on We nurture and reward our team, so they an ongoing basis. Additionally, we emphasize will be inspired and engaged to give their investing in proprietary technology solutions best every day We prioritize diversity and inclusion, because we are all equal We aspire to give more than we take, in our community and the environment to ensure we have the tools to continue enhancing the scalability of our platform as we grow the company. As a service-driven business, we are dedicated not only to our shareholders, clients, and colleagues, but also to our Employees form the foundation of Realty community. We have maintained a significant Income’s corporate culture and are our presence in San Diego County since our most valuable assets. Our team consists founding in 1969, devoting over 900 hours of 194 dedicated team members across 13 in employee volunteer time in 2019.

We officially developed a tenant base support a resilient income stream Sustainability Department this year and are that can perform as consistently as it has for dedicating resources to numerous initiatives over 50 years. in 2020. As of the end of 2019, approximately half of MACROECONOMIC OUTLOOK our annualized rental revenue was generated We remain dedicated to creating long- term value across a variety of economic environments. This idea is core to our business, as we are focused on being a reliable safe harbor throughout all economic cycles. Although we believe our portfolio and investment strategies are well-positioned to deliver consistently on this goal, our team continuously monitors and analyzes macroeconomic factors and their potential impact on domestic and international economies. Considerations that could affect market performance include interest rate trends, the geopolitical climate, global trade, global health, and evolving consumer behavior. The U.S. presidential election, trade negotiations between the U.S. and China, Middle East geopolitical discussions, terms of the United Kingdom’s withdrawal from the European Union, enhanced volatility in oil prices, and the impact of a global pandemic are key topics we are monitoring in 2020. Recently, the COVID-19 global pandemic has significantly impacted the stability of the capital markets, the health of certain industries and subsectors, and has weakened the forecast for global economic output. Despite these challenges, we continue to from tenants, their subsidiaries or affiliated companies with an investment-grade credit rating. Additionally, 96% of our annualized retail rental revenue was generated from tenants with a service, non-discretionary, and/or low price point component to their business. We believe these characteristics allow our tenants to operate effectively in a variety of economic environments and to compete effectively with e-commerce. We view our tenants as clients, and we are committed to helping them keep the cost of occupancy low so they can grow their business over time, and we can, in turn, do the same. Macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainty requires increased diligence and a commitment to stringent underwriting principles, but uncertainty also provides opportunity. Our international expansion is an example of capitalizing on uncertainty, as a historically weak British Pound, driven by Brexit uncertainty, contributed to favorable transactional and financing terms on our debut international acquisition. Further, historically-low interest rates in the U.K. provided favorable pricing on Sterling- denominated debt. 8 REALTY INCOME 2019 ANNUAL REPORT LOOKING AHEAD Our strong track record of performance, which now spans more than 50 years, continued throughout 2019; however, we constantly seek to continue building upon We are pleased to be included in the small group of REITs with at least two ‘A’ credit ratings by the major credit rating agencies, with ratings of ‘A3’ and ‘A-’ by Moody’s and S&P Global, respectively. our solid foundation. We entered 2020 CONCLUSION well-positioned with a conservatively capitalized balance sheet with strong liquidity, a healthy global investment pipeline, and an experienced team prepared to execute on opportunistic growth initiatives. Our size, scale, and cost of capital advantages are fundamental to our continued success. We believe that these advantages, which are key differentiators As I hope this letter shows, our strategy to ensure the stability and growth in earnings and dividends will continue to evolve, but our commitment to our mission is steadfast. Across all we do, we take the long view every day, in every relationship, to provide stability to the clients we serve, the team we nurture, the communities we support, and the people who invest in us. within the net lease sector, position us As we celebrated the 50th anniversary of our to effectively expand our addressable company’s founding and the 25th anniversary market internationally, as well as to execute of our public listing, we took important large-scale portfolio and sale-leaseback steps to position the company to drive transactions on a negotiated basis. favorable shareholder results throughout the The efficiency of our business demonstrates the scalability of our platform.

At the end of 2019, our properties were leased to tenants operating across 50 industries and located in 49 states, Puerto Rico and the United Kingdom. Most of our properties continue to be retail, with the largest asset type outside of retail being industrial properties. Our tenant base remains healthy with approximately half of our annualized rental revenue generated from properties leased to tenants, their subsidiaries or affiliated companies, with an investment-grade credit rating. Maintaining a diversified portfolio of quality real estate leased to strong tenants helps ensure the stability of revenue that supports the payment of monthly dividends.

As one of the most seasoned net lease companies, we have re-leased or sold over 3,100 properties with expiring leases throughout our history as a public company. This is unprecedented in our sector and, as a result, we have achieved stable occupancy that has never been below 96% at year-end since 1994 while achieving a long-term average rent recapture rate above 100% on re-leasing activity since 1996.

Fox, Executive Vice President, Asset Management & Real Estate Operations REALTY INCOME 2019 ANNUAL REPORT 1 5 Disciplined Investment Process “When the Partnerships were formed, the General Partners believed, and continue to believe, that this investment strategy remains viable during a variety of economic and real estate conditions over an extended period of time.” – PROSPECTUS, 1994 We focus on acquiring freestanding, single- tenant commercial properties leased to high- quality tenants under long-term, net lease agreements, typically in excess of 10 years. During 2019, we reviewed approximately $57 billion of investment opportunities that generally satisfied one or more of these criteria. These opportunities underwent a rigorous, multi-step internal underwriting and legal diligence process, resulting in the selection of over $3.7 billion of real estate investments completed during the year. The process begins with a review of the real estate. We target properties located in significant markets or strategic locations critical to generating revenue for the tenant. We examine the property-level attributes such as access and signage, demographic trends relative to the property’s intended use, potential alternative uses, and overall viability of the market. In addition to the real estate, we also carefully review the characteristics, credit, and overall financial strength of the tenant and its industry. Our team of research professionals conducts a thorough financial review and analysis of the tenant, including an assessment of the store- level performance of the retail operations, when available, to try to identify the tenant’s highest- performing locations. Our team stays abreast of trends in the various industries and frequently meets with management representatives within these industries to better understand our tenants’ operations. The information gathered on the real estate, lease characteristics, tenant, and industry 1 6 REALTY INCOME 2019 ANNUAL REPORT informs the appropriate price for an investment. Our goal is to ensure the real estate that we acquire is appropriately priced relative to replacement cost and leased at rental rates that are generally in line with market rent in order to support strong long-term investment returns generated by each asset. Our Investment Committee collectively reviews these characteristics and metrics to make investment decisions. In addition, investment opportunities above a certain investment amount require approval by our Board of Directors. We believe this rigorous selection process maintains the quality of our investment portfolio and supports the stability of our cash flow over time. “Our strategic focus continues to be on meaningfully increasing our growth rate while maintaining our conservative risk profile. Our international platform is the first of various initiatives that are intended to achieve this goal by significantly expanding our total addressable market. We are pleased with the strength of the international investment outlook and look forward to judiciously growing the international business and other initiatives in the coming years.” – Neil Abraham, Executive Vice President, Chief Strategy Officer TOTAL REVENUE(1) (DOLLARS IN MILLIONS) $1,423 $49 94 95 96 97 98 99 00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 (1) See page 10, footnote 1, for the definition of total revenue “Our size, scale, and cost of capital are important competitive advantages within the net lease sector, and we believe we are uniquely positioned to pursue large-scale portfolio and sale- leaseback transactions on a negotiated basis.

We believe it is important to maintain a conservative capital structure that is primarily equity-focused in order to protect the dividend. At the end of 2019, our total market capitalization was $32.5 billion, of which $24.6 billion, or 75.6%, was common equity. When we use debt to fund our growth, we strive to structure it in a conservative manner. Currently, 100% of our outstanding bonds are fixed rate and unsecured with a weighted average term to maturity of 8.3 years. As of December 31, 2019, our Net Debt-to-Adjusted EBITDAre(1) ratio was healthy at 5.5x and our fixed charge coverage ratio of 5.0x was the highest in our company’s history. We maintain a $3.0 billion multi-currency unsecured revolving line of credit, which provides us flexibility to close on acquisitions quickly and then opportunistically raise equity and/or long-term debt when capital market dynamics are most favorable to us. Our investment-grade credit ratings of A3/A- (Moody’s/S&P) continue to provide us with a low cost of public unsecured debt. (1) Adjusted EBITDAre is a non-GAAP financial measure. Refer to Management’s Discussion and Analysis in the Company’s 2019 Form 10-K for a definition and reconciliation to net income. “Our collective efforts strive to perpetuate Realty Income’s 25-year track record of providing above-average total shareholder return with below-average volatility. Our access to well-priced capital is an important competitive advantage, and we continue to believe a conservative capital structure positions us well throughout various economic environments.” – Jonathan Pong, Senior Vice President, Head of Capital Markets and Finance CONSERVATIVE CAPITAL STRUCTURE AT 12/31/19 75.6% COMMON EQUITY 24.4% DEBT 1 8 REALTY INCOME 2019 ANNUAL REPORT Dependable Monthly Dividends As The Monthly Dividend Company®, we remain committed to operating our company in a manner that provides our shareholders with dependable monthly dividends that increase over time. At the core of every business decision we make is the focus on positioning and preparing our portfolio and balance sheet to continue generating predictable cash flow. Our commitment is evidenced by our track record of dividend performance. Since our company’s listing on the NYSE in 1994, we have increased the dividend every year at a compound average annual growth rate of approximately 4.5% and have never reduced the dividend. We are one of only three REITs in the S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrats® index, which includes S&P 500 constituents that have increased their dividend every year for the last 25 consecutive years. “The investment objectives of the Company will be to pay regular cash dividends to its Shareholders from a portfolio of properties under long- term, triple-net lease agreements.” – PROSPECTUS, 1994 CONSISTENT DIVIDEND GROWTH ANNUALIZED DIVIDENDS PER SHARE AND DIVIDEND INCREASES(1) 4.5% COMPOUND AVERAGE ANNUAL GROWTH RATE 89 CONSECUTIVE QUARTERLY INCREASES 104 DIVIDEND INCREASES SINCE 1994 NYSE LISTING $2.73 $0.90 94 95 96 97 98 99 00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 (1) Annualized dividend amount reflects the December declared dividend rate per share multiplied by 12.
