The inclusion of 'Regulation FD Disclosure' indicates that Realty Income is making material information available to the public in a non-discriminatory manner, ensuring all investors have access to the same information simultaneously, as required by Regulation FD.

What kind of information is typically found in the 'Supplemental Operating and Financial Data'?

The Supplemental Operating and Financial Data typically includes detailed financial metrics beyond the standard income statement and balance sheet, such as Funds From Operations (FFO), Adjusted Funds From Operations (AFFO), occupancy rates, lease expirations, property-level details, and other operational statistics relevant to a real estate investment trust (REIT).
