The company is a member of the S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrats index for having increased its dividend for the last 25 consecutive years. Its monthly dividends are supported by the cash flow from over 11,100 real estate properties owned under long-term net lease agreements with commercial clients. In 2021, our portfolio continued to generate strong, reliable cash flows to support our increasing monthly dividends and strategic growth initiatives.

We are One Team, and as our business continues to grow, we remain committed to our mission of investing in people and places to build enduring relationships and delivering dependable monthly dividends that increase over time. The year was headlined by completing our strategic merger with VEREIT, which closed on November 1st. We believe that the transaction generated benefits for all stakeholders and positioned us favorably to pursue our strategic growth initiatives going forward. Key benefits of the transaction include driving immediate accretion to AFFO per share, as well as creating an expanded platform which will create meaningful opportunities for our business. There are several additional benefits of the transaction, including three of particular significance: Enhancing size, scale, and diversification to drive future growth. At year-end, our total enterprise value1 was approximately $57 billion, positioning us as the sixth largest U.S. REIT, and our annualized contractual rental income was $2.9 billion, illustrating the expanded size and scale of our business following the merger. Additionally, the transaction has enhanced our ability to execute large-scale transactions and limited the creation of any client, industry, or geographic concentration risk. Expanding our Realty Income “One Team”. Through the merger, we were excited to welcome our new colleagues from VEREIT, each of whom brings valuable talent, experience, and diversity to Realty Income. We have already benefited from their many contributions to our business. Additionally, we were pleased to welcome Priscilla Almodovar, Mary Hogan Preusse and Jacqueline Brady to our Board of Directors, all of whom have brought exemplary leadership and deep industry knowledge to our company. 1 Enterprise value is calculated as the total market capitalization less cash and cash equivalents. 4 73215cx.indd 4 73215cx.indd 4 3/21/22 6:08 PM 3/21/22 6:08 PM Offering longer-term debt refinancing synergies. Over time, we expect to generate meaningful earnings accretion by refinancing the debt assumed from VEREIT as a result of the merger. We have a significant cost of capital advantage, which affords us opportunities to take advantage of lower borrowing costs driven by our ‘A3’ and ‘A-’ credit ratings from Moody’s and S&P, respectively, and a capacity to issue debt in international markets, which may present additional opportunities for lower yields. In parallel with our efforts to close the merger with VEREIT, we expanded our business into Continental Europe in September 2021 through a sale-leaseback transaction in Spain with Carrefour, a leading global grocery retailer. For 2021, our international platform consisted of approximately $3.9 billion invested in the United Kingdom and approximately $368 million invested in Spain. Our strategic expansion into Spain establishes our presence in Continental Europe and provides a gateway to additional geographies where we plan to explore creating new relationships and investment opportunities. We anticipate that the continued growth of our international platform will create value today and well into the future, including the following benefits: Expanding into Continental Europe significantly increases our total addressable market. We estimate the total addressable market for net lease real estate in Europe is approximately $8 trillion, double the estimated total addressable market for net lease real estate in the U.S. of approximately $4 trillion. In addition to our robust domestic investment pipeline, our international pipeline and presence have already proven to provide incremental value for our business and stockholders. We believe establishing our presence in Continental Europe expands our access to well-priced capital. Since our international expansion in 2019, we have capitalized on lower borrowing costs afforded to us in the U.K. Likewise, with our debut investment activity in Continental Europe, we expect to pursue more Euro-denominated financing opportunities, providing improvement to our current cost of capital. 73215.indd 5 73215.indd 5 5 3/18/22 12:10 PM 3/18/22 12:10 PM While 2021 was highlighted by these two important strategic accomplishments, our core business continued to perform exceedingly well. 2 0 2 1 R E S U L T S During the year, we grew AFFO2 per share by 5.9% to $3.59. At Realty Income, The Monthly Dividend Company®, the dividend is sacrosanct, and we are proud to be a member of the S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrats Index® for having increased our dividend every year for over 25 years. The continued strength of our operations enabled us to increase dividends paid per share by 1.4% as compared to 2020 while achieving an AFFO payout ratio of 78.9%, which we believe provides a comfortable margin of safety for our stockholders. In 2021, the stockholders who owned our common stock for the full calendar year realized a total return of 24.0%, which is comprised of the change to our stock price as well as dividends paid throughout the year, assuming reinvestment of dividends. We seek to deliver favorable long-term risk-adjusted returns for our stockholders and, as of year-end, we have delivered a compound average annual total shareholder return of 15.5% since our public listing in 1994, which compares favorably to the Nasdaq index (11.7%), the Equity REIT index (11.2%), the Dow Jones index (11.1%) and the S&P 500 index (11.0%). During 2021, we invested a record $6.4 billion in high-quality real estate, while maintaining our stringent investment criteria as we acquired less than 8% of the $84.5 billion in potential real estate transactions sourced and reviewed. Total international investments during 2021 were approximately $2.6 billion. In 2021, our portfolio continued to generate strong, reliable cash flows to support our increasing monthly dividends and growth initiatives. The pandemic showcased the quality, strength, and resilience of our real estate portfolio. Bolstered by the inherent quality of the assets in our portfolio and proactive efforts of our talented and experienced asset management team, we maintained high portfolio occupancy throughout the year, ending 2021 with the portfolio 98.5% occupied. Further, we achieved a 103.4% rent recapture rate on releasing activity during the year, representing yet another year of positive releasing spreads. This demonstrates the quality of our portfolio and our long-tenured asset management team who - since our listing in 1994 - has executed over 4,100 releases or sales on expiring leases, recapturing an average of over 100% of rent on those released contracts. 2 The definition of AFFO and a reconciliation of net income available to stockholders can be found in our 2021 Form 10-K. 6 73215.indd 6 73215.indd 6 3/18/22 12:10 PM 3/18/22 12:10 PM Throughout 2021, we maintained a strong financial position and remain committed to being one of only a handful of REITs with at least two credit ratings of A3/A- or better by the major rating agencies. In July, we are proud to have established our green financing framework and issued our debut green bond offering. This offering continued our aspirational journey to be a leader in the REIT industry by partnering with clients to promote environmental sustainability (more information about our ESG initiatives can be found in our 2021 Sustainability Report). It is important to note that the net lease business model is inherently scalable, and we are pleased to report that we again delivered industry leading adjusted EBITDAre3 and G&A margins of approximately 93.6% and 4.9%, respectively, in 2021. Throughout 2021, we continued to have excellent access to well-priced capital. During the year we raised approximately $4.5 billion of equity capital and $1.3 billion of long-term fixed-rate debt. As part of our total equity capital raised, our size and scale afforded us the opportunity to raise $3.2 billion through our At-The-Market (ATM) program, which allowed us to complete the VEREIT merger and finance a record quarter for acquisitions while finishing the year within our targeted leverage parameters. As a result, our balance sheet entered 2022 well-positioned with a Net-Debt/Annualized Pro forma Adjusted EBITDAre4 ratio of 5.3x and ample liquidity, with $2.4 billion available on our $3.0 billion multi-currency revolving credit facility and $99 million available under our $1.0 billion commercial paper program. O N E T E A M At Realty Income, our team members are our most valuable assets. We were honored to welcome Christie Kelly and Michelle Bushore as our new Chief Financial Officer and Chief Legal Officer, respectively, both of whom bring years of pertinent experience, leadership qualities, and diversity to the senior team. Primarily driven by the addition of our former VEREIT colleagues, in 2021 our team grew from 210 to 371 team members at year-end. I firmly believe our team is able to excel across 3 Adjusted EBITDAre margin calculated by dividing total revenue, net of property (including reimbursable) and general and administrative expenses, by total rental revenue, excluding reimbursable rental revenue.

The key values for our One Team are as follows: Do the right thing, because how we act is as important as what we accomplish. Take ownership, because our clients’ success is our success. Empower each other, so everyone will be inspired to give their best every day. Celebrate differences, because diversity, equality, and inclusion make us stronger. Give more than we take, in our community and the environment. As part of doing the right thing, we remain committed to being a responsible corporate citizen today and well into the future. Throughout 2021, we continued to advance our environmental, social, and governance (“ESG”) initiatives. In addition to establishing our green financing framework and issuing our debut green bond, we continued our charitable contributions and volunteerism including our annual financial contribution to San Diego Habitat for Humanity, and prioritized Diversity, Equality and Inclusion values throughout every facet of our business. We remain resolute in our commitment to environmental stewardship. Alongside this report, we are proud to issue our second annual Sustainability Report, which details our team’s dedicated efforts and progress on this important journey. Our 2021 Sustainability Report can be found in the Corporate Responsibility section of our corporate website, and I encourage everyone to read the report to understand the emphasis we place on these initiatives. At Realty Income, ESG considerations continue to be woven into the fabric of our business, permeating throughout every aspect of our company from day-to-day operations to oversight by our Board of Directors. ESG topics will continue to be a significant priority to our leadership team and Board of Directors, and I remain focused on continuing to pursue our ESG goals for the benefit of all those we serve. L O O K I N G A H E A D As we look to the future, we celebrate our accomplishments while remaining inspired for the journey ahead. In the new year, we will continue to pursue our collective goals with an incredibly talented team, an expanded global platform poised for growth, and access to proprietary data and technology to drive key business and investment decisions. We remain committed to building on our 53-year track record of success by expanding upon our foundation while staying true to our purpose, 8 73215.indd 8 73215.indd 8 3/18/22 12:10 PM 3/18/22 12:10 PM mission, vision, and values as we thoughtfully continue driving sustainable growth for years to come. I am encouraged by our outlook for 2022 and beyond as we seek to leverage and expand our competitive advantages, which are: Size and Scale – With a total enterprise value over $57 billion, a portfolio of more than 11,100 strategically located properties across all 50 states, Puerto Rico, the United Kingdom and Spain, and an experienced team who can reliably execute upon our robust global investment pipeline, we believe we have become the premier capital partner to blue-chip operators in the net lease industry. We believe our platform is also further enhanced by our ability to execute large-scale acquisitions without creating material concentration risks. A Resilient Business Model Built to Weather a Variety of Economic Conditions – Recent geopolitical and inflationary concerns have resulted in meaningful capital markets volatility to begin 2022. As we have demonstrated throughout our company’s history, Realty Income is well-positioned to, by design, deliver consistent operating and financial results regardless of external variables beyond our control. From a balance sheet perspective, having a well-staggered, predominantly fixed rate debt maturity schedule with no corporate bond maturities until 2024 limits our debt refinancing risk in a potentially rising rate environment. Moreover, we believe we may benefit from an inflationary environment given our proven ability to recapture more than the value of expiring rent upon releasing. Finally, our business offers investors a durable and recurring income stream which, in our view, makes Realty Income more attractive during inflationary periods as compared to other sectors in the marketplace whose value is primarily tied to growth in future years. Leveraging Technology and a Data-Driven Approach to Key Decision Making – We have the key competitive advantage of access to best-in-class proprietary information given the size and track record of our portfolio. This supports our ability to explore opportunities to leverage predictive analytics and machine learning to drive key business decisions. Harnessing this data allows us to project industry trends, proactively address asset management decisions, and inform our investment strategy. 73215.indd 9 73215.indd 9 9 3/18/22 12:10 PM 3/18/22 12:10 PM A Growing International Footprint – Our expansion into Continental Europe significantly expands our total addressable market and provides access to attractively priced capital. As we have demonstrated through the growth of our real estate portfolio in the U.K., the portability of our business model is a competitive advantage which allows us to continue expanding our potential investment universe. Prudent Creativity to Fuel Sustainable Growth – We are committed to continuing to explore new verticals through which the business can sustainably grow. We believe the net lease business model is transferable across property types and geographies. The investment in vineyards in Napa Valley, currently leased to Treasury Wine Estates, is a prime example of a transaction outside of our traditional asset classes that creatively fits our investment criteria while generating attractive returns as we look back on over a decade of ownership. We remain active in our pursuit of finding new opportunities that generate value for our stockholders with the same prudency that has guided our strategy over the last 53 years. As we enter a new year of possibilities, we remain steadfast in our purpose of building enduring relationships and brighter financial futures, following our mission, vision, and values to seek to deliver long-term risk-adjusted returns through the stability and sustainable growth of earnings and dividends. Above all, we strive to conduct business with the utmost integrity and humility, doing what is right each day for the long-term benefit of the clients we serve, team members we cultivate, communities we support, and those who invest in us. I continue to be excited about our journey together as One Team as we strive to create long-term value for all stockholders. Thank you for your continued support, and for your participation in our pursuit to be a trusted capital partner and responsible corporate citizen. Sincerely, Sumit Roy, President & Chief Executive Officer 10 73215.indd 10 73215.indd 10 3/18/22 12:10 PM 3/18/22 12:10 PM 2 0 2 1 F I N A N C I A L P E R F O R M A N C E (DOLLARS IN MILLIONS UNLESS SPECIFIED) Total revenue1 Net income available to common stockholders FFO2 AFFO2 Dividends paid to common stockholders Real estate at cost3 Number of properties Gross leaseable square feet (millions) Properties acquired4 Cost of properties acquired4 Property dispositions Net proceeds from property dispositions Number of industries Number of states Portfolio occupancy rate Remaining weighted average lease term Net income per share (diluted) FFO per share2 AFFO per share2 Dividends paid per share Annualized dividend amount per share5 Common shares outstanding6 Closing price on 12/31 Dividend yield7 Total return to stockholders8 $2,080 $359 $1,241 $1,489 $1,169 $35,909 11,136 210.1 911 $6,411 154 $250 60 50 98.5% 9.0 years $0.87 $2.99 $3.59 $2.833 $2.958 592,322,700 $71.59 4.1% 24.0% 1 Total revenue including reimbursements from clients. 2 FFO and AFFO are non-GAAP financial measures.

We curate our portfolio to ever changing economic cycles and evolving consumer trends by acquiring high-quality assets leased to operators in resilient industries diversified by geography, industry and property type. Recently, these characteristics have been tested throughout the global COVID-19 pandemic. Despite these challenges, the cash flow generating capacity of our portfolio has persevered, resulting in another year of dividend and positive earnings growth. In 2021, we expanded our reach to Continental Europe, and our portfolio of assets now extends throughout the U.S., U.K. and Spain. In addition, the assets acquired through the VEREIT merger have significantly expanded Realty Income’s platform. As of December 31, 2021, our real estate portfolio consisted of more than 11,100 properties, which are primarily freestanding, net leased, single-client commercial properties well diversified by: • CLIENT – Our portfolio is made up of over 1,040 clients including industry leaders like Walgreens, 7-Eleven, FedEx, Wal-mart, and Home Depot • INDUSTRY – Our clients operate across 60 separate industries including grocery stores, convenience stores, dollar stores and drug stores • GEOGRAPHY – Our properties are located in all 50 U.S. states, Puerto Rico, the United Kingdom and Spain • PROPERTY TYPE – Our portfolio is primarily retail and industrial “In 2021, we saw a three-fold year-over-year growth in portfolio development investment volume, thanks to the efforts of our team. We focused on higher yielding construction assets and value-creation opportunities within our existing portfolio. Realty Income remains committed to driving additional earnings growth by broadening its investment possibilities through its in-house development and construction expertise.” John Couvillion, Vice President, Development T O P 1 0 I N D U S T R Y D I V E R S I F I C AT I O N * INDUSTRY GROCERY STORES CONVENIENCE STORES DOLLAR STORES DRUG STORES RESTAURANTS - QUICK SERVICE RESTAURANTS - CASUAL DINING HOME IMPROVEMENT HEALTH AND FITNESS GENERAL MERCHANDISE THEATERS % OF TOTAL PORTFOLIO ANNUALIZED CONTRACTUAL RENT AS OF 12/31/21 10.2% 9.1% 7.5% 6.6% 6.6% 5.9% 5.1% 4.7% 3.7% 3.4% *THE PRESENTATION OF TOP 10 INDUSTRIES COMBINES TOTAL PORTFOLIO CONTRACTURAL RENT FROM U.S. AND EUROPE.

Realty Income will continue to pursue acquisition opportunities in industries that are proven to perform in a variety of economic conditions. Doing so allows us to enhance the portfolio’s stability while also pursuing new growth verticals that support the generation of favorable long-term risk adjusted returns. Throughout our history as a public company, Realty Income has maintained year-end occupancy above 96%. In 2021, we recaptured 103.4% of rent on released contracts, and since 1996, we’ve achieved a rent recapture rate of over 100% on releasing activity. Our sustained occupancy levels and favorable releasing results reflect the expertise, talent and experience exhibited by our Asset Management and Real Estate Operations teams, who we believe excel at maximizing the value of our existing real estate portfolio. Going forward, we will continue to utilize our size and scale to provide full-service real estate operations CLIENT D E U N I T N O C “Our proactive asset management efforts continue to drive strength in our growing portfolio.

During 2021, we invested net lease agreements that produce consistent and $2.6 billion in high quality international assets, predictable income. We invest in high-quality real estate that meets our rigorous investment criteria and that our clients consider important to the successful operation of their businesses.

Dividend yield sources: NAREIT website and Bloomberg, except for the 1994 NASDAQ dividend yield which was sourced from Datastream / Thomson Financial. 1 FTSE NAREIT US Equity REIT Index, as per NAREIT website. 2 Calculated as the difference between the closing stock price as of period end less the closing stock price as of previous period, plus dividends paid in period, divided by closing stock price as of end of previous period. Does not include reinvestment of dividends for the annual percentages. 3 Includes reinvestment of dividends. Source: NAREIT website and Factset. 4 Price only index, does not include dividends as NASDAQ did not report total return metrics for the entirety of the measurement period. Source: Factset. 5 All of these Compound Average Annual Total Return rates are calculated in the same manner: from Realty Income’s NYSE listing on October 18, 1994 through December 31, 2021, and (except for NASDAQ) assuming reinvestment of dividends.
