Summary
Realty Income Corporation (O) reported its financial results for the second quarter and first six months ended June 30, 2013. The company experienced significant growth, primarily driven by its substantial acquisition of American Realty Capital Trust (ARCT) in January 2013. This acquisition significantly expanded the company's real estate portfolio, adding 515 properties and increasing its scale and diversification. Financially, Realty Income demonstrated strong performance with increases in rental revenue, net income, Funds from Operations (FFO), Normalized FFO, and Adjusted Funds from Operations (AFFO) on a year-over-year basis for both the quarter and the six-month period. The company maintained a high occupancy rate of 98.2% at quarter-end. Despite increased borrowing to fund acquisitions, the company maintained a conservative capital structure and remained in compliance with its debt covenants. Following the reporting period, Realty Income successfully issued $750 million in senior unsecured notes, which were used to repay outstanding credit facility borrowings.
