In addition, certain of our investments in debt instruments are subordinated, which can significantly reduce our ability to control decisions with respect to underlying assets or foreclosure, and, if a borrower were to default, the claims under our debt instrument would only be satisfied after senior debt is paid in full. As a result, a partial loss in the value of the underlying collateral can result in a total loss of the value of the debt instruments.

There can be no assurance that our clients and borrowers will make their payments and not default on their obligations to us. Clients, borrowers, or guarantors may experience a downturn in their business that may weaken their operating results or overall financial condition. As a result, a client may delay lease commencement, fail to make rental payments when due, decline to extend a lease upon its expiration, fail to maintain the property or otherwise pay its required expenses under the terms of the lease, become insolvent or declare bankruptcy. Client, borrower, or guarantor bankruptcy or insolvency, payment delay or failure to make payments when due could result in the termination of applicable leases, loans, guarantees, and other financing agreements and material losses to us. The occurrence of a bankruptcy or insolvency could diminish or eliminate the income we receive from our leases, loans, guarantees, and other financing agreements. A bankruptcy court could authorize a client to terminate one or more of its leases with us. If that happens, our claim against the bankrupt client for unpaid future rent would be subject to statutory limitations that most likely would result in payments substantially less than the remaining rent we are owed under the leases or we may elect not to pursue claims against a client for terminated leases. Claims for unpaid past rent, if any, may not be paid in full, or at all. Client bankruptcies affecting a property may also adversely impact our ability to quickly re-lease that property at favorable terms, or at all. If a client’s leases are not terminated as the result of its bankruptcy, we may be required or elect to reduce the rent payable under those leases or provide other concessions, reducing amounts we receive under those leases. As a result, client bankruptcies may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

The underlying partnership that owns the real estate assets is a VIE. Blackstone retained 100% of the common equity ownership of the partnership, and MGM Resorts International continues to operate the properties. We are not the primary beneficiary of the VIE because we do not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE's economic performance. Accordingly, the partnership is not consolidated. Our involvement with the VIE is limited to our investment in preferred equity, which is presented within 'Other assets, net' on our consolidated balance sheets. Our maximum exposure to loss is limited to the carrying value of the investment, as we do not provide financial support to the VIE beyond our contractual investment. As of December 31, 2025, the 'Investment in preferred equity' balance was $800.5 million, including $0.5 million of direct transaction costs. The preferred equity provides for a cumulative preferred return at an initial rate of 7.4%, payable monthly in arrears. The preferred return is subject to scheduled rate increases starting on the fifth anniversary of closing. Blackstone may cause the partnership to redeem all or a portion of the preferred equity investment, and we may require redemption upon the occurrence of specified events. Early redemptions are subject to early redemption fees based on the timing and circumstances of the redemption, equal to 3.0% if redeemed prior to the first anniversary of closing, 2.0% if redeemed after the first anniversary and prior to the fourth anniversary, and no premium thereafter. Upon redemption, if we have not received an 8.325% unlevered internal rate of return on the redeemed amount, we will receive a make-whole payment to ensure that such return is achieved. Preferred return income is determined by applying the contractual rate to the outstanding preferred equity balance, including any accrued but unpaid cumulative preferred return, which increases the carrying value of the investment.

Pursuant to the amended and restated term loan agreement, we borrowed $800.0 million in aggregate total borrowings, $300.0 million of which matures in August 2025 and $500.0 million of which matures in August 2027 (the “$800 million term loan agreement”). We also entered into an amended and restated term loan agreement pursuant to which we borrowed $500.0 million in aggregate total borrowings which matures in June 2025 (the “$500 million term loan agreement”). Term Loan Redemption During the year ended December 31, 2024, we repaid our $250.0 million senior unsecured term loan in full upon maturity. Mortgage Repayments During the year ended December 31, 2024, we made $740.5 million in principal payments, including the full repayment of five mortgages for $735.9 million.

Measurement period adjustments were recorded in the period in which they were determined, as if they had been completed at the acquisition date. Before the first anniversary of the date of the Merger, final measurement period adjustments recorded in the year ended December 31, 2024 resulted from updated valuations related to real estate assets and liabilities, in addition to loans receivable. The adjustments were determined based on additional information that existed at the acquisition date but was not contemplated in our initial fair value assessment and resulted in a decrease to goodwill of $59.1 million. Approximately $1.20 billion has been allocated to goodwill. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The recognized goodwill is attributable to expected synergies and benefits arising from the Merger, including anticipated financing and corporate overhead cost savings. None of the goodwill recognized is deductible for tax purposes. B. Merger-related Transaction CostsIn conjunction with the Merger, we incurred $86.7 million of merger-related transaction costs during the year ended December 31, 2024, primarily consisting of employee severance, post-combination share-based compensation, transfer taxes, and various professional fees directly attributable to the Merger.

Because this methodology includes unobservable inputs that reflect our own internal assumptions and calculations, the measurement of estimated fair values related to the named financial instruments are categorized as level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The estimated fair values of our publicly-traded senior secured loans receivable, publicly-traded senior notes and bonds payable are based upon indicative market prices and recent trading activity of each financial instrument. Because this methodology includes inputs that are less observable by the public and are not necessarily reflected in active markets, the measurement of the estimated fair values related to these financial instruments is categorized as level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair value estimation of secured loans receivable that are not publicly traded similarly incorporates less observable, market-corroborated inputs. B. Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis For derivative assets and liabilities, we may utilize interest rate swaps, interest rate swaptions, and forward-starting swaps to manage interest rate risk, and cross-currency swaps and foreign currency forwards to manage foreign currency risk. The valuation of these instruments is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves, spot and forward rates, as well as option volatility. Derivative fair values also include credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both our own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. In adjusting the fair value of our derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, we have considered the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral postings, thresholds, mutual puts, and guarantees. Although we have determined that the majority of the inputs used to value our derivatives fall within level 2 on the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with our derivatives utilize level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads, to evaluate the likelihood of default by ourselves and our counterparties. However, as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, we assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of our derivative positions and determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of our derivatives. As a result, we determined that our derivative valuations in their entirety are classified as level 2. For more details on our derivatives, see note 14, Derivative Instruments. C. Items Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis Impairment of Real Estate Investments Certain financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis and are subject to fair value adjustments only under certain circumstances, such as when an impairment write-down occurs. Depending on impairment triggering events during the applicable period, impairments are typically recorded for properties sold, in the process of being sold, vacant, in bankruptcy, or experiencing difficulties with collection of rent. 81 81 81 Table of Contents Table of Contents The following table summarizes our provisions for impairment on real estate investments during the periods indicated below (dollars in millions): Years ended December 31,202520242023Carrying value prior to impairment$1,004.0 $770.7 $194.5 Less: total provisions for impairment of real estate(434.5)(319.0)(82.2)Carrying value after impairment$569.5 $451.7 $112.3 Number of properties:Classified as held for sale35 17 2 Classified as held for investment138 88 16 Sold222 132 94 The valuation of impaired assets is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques including income capitalization approach, using net operating income for each property and applying capitalization rates between 7.8% and 8.6%, recent comparable sales transactions, broker opinions of value with discounts based on management judgment, and purchase offers received from third parties, which are level 3 inputs. We may consider a single valuation technique or multiple valuation techniques, as appropriate, when estimating the fair value of such real estate.

The valuation of these instruments is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves, spot and forward rates, as well as option volatility. Derivative fair values also include credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both our own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. In adjusting the fair value of our derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, we have considered the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral postings, thresholds, mutual puts, and guarantees. Although we have determined that the majority of the inputs used to value our derivatives fall within level 2 on the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with our derivatives utilize level three inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads, to evaluate the likelihood of default by ourselves and our counterparties. However, at December 31, 2024 and 2023, we assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of our derivative positions and determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of our derivatives. As a result, we determined that our derivative valuations in their entirety are classified as level 2. For more details on our derivatives, see note 13, Derivative Instruments. C. Items Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis Impairment of Real Estate Investments Certain financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis and are subject to fair value adjustments only under certain circumstances, such as when an impairment write-down occurs. Depending on impairment triggering events during the applicable period, impairments are typically recorded for properties sold, in the process of being sold, vacant, in bankruptcy, or experiencing difficulties with collection of rent. The following table summarizes our provisions for impairment on real estate investments during the periods indicated below (dollars in millions): Years ended December 31,202420232022Carrying value prior to impairment$770.7 $194.5 $140.9 Less: total provisions for impairment of real estate (1) (319.0)(82.2)(25.9)Carrying value after impairment$451.7 $112.3 $115.0 Number of properties:Classified as held for sale17 2 — Classified as held for investment88 16 5 Sold132 94 89 Less: total provisions for impairment of real estate (1) (1) Real estate assets that were deemed to be impaired for the year ended December 31, 2024 primarily relate to two office properties which were acquired and retained in our merger with VEREIT in 2021, properties leased to clients in bankruptcies or financial distress, as well as properties that are more likely than not to be sold in the next twelve months. (1) Real estate assets that were deemed to be impaired for the year ended December 31, 2024 primarily relate to two office properties which were acquired and retained in our merger with VEREIT in 2021, The valuation of impaired assets is determined using valuation techniques including applying a capitalization rate to estimated net operating income of a property, analysis of recent comparable sales transactions and purchase offers received from third parties, which are level 3 inputs. We may consider a single valuation technique or multiple valuation techniques, as appropriate, when estimating the fair value of such real estate. Estimating future cash flows is highly subjective and estimates can differ materially from actual results. 76 76 76 Table of Contents Table of Contents" }, { "status": "MODIFIED", "current_title": "Investments in Unconsolidated Entities", "prior_title": "Investments in Unconsolidated Entities", "similarity_score": 0.885, "confidence": "high", "key_changes": [ "Reworded sentence: \"As of December 31, 2025, our pro-rata share of secured debt of unconsolidated entities was approximately $659.2 million.\"" ], "current_body": "As of December 31, 2025, our pro-rata share of secured debt of unconsolidated entities was approximately $659.2 million.", "prior_body": "As of December 31, 2024, our pro-rata share of secured debt of unconsolidated entities was approximately $659.2 million. 30 30 30 Table of Contents Table of Contents" }, { "status": "MODIFIED", "current_title": "The accompanying notes to consolidated financial statements are an integral part of these statements.", "prior_title": "The accompanying notes to consolidated financial statements are an integral part of these statements.", "similarity_score": 0.885, "confidence": "high", "key_changes": [ "Reworded sentence: \"58 58 58 Table of Contents Table of Contents REALTY INCOME CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES\"" ], "current_body": "55 55 55 Table of Contents Table of Contents REALTY INCOME CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES", "prior_body": "50 50 50 Table of Contents Table of Contents REALTY INCOME CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES" }, { "status": "MODIFIED", "current_title": "13.

Cyberattacks are malicious cyber activity and a security incident is a successful cyberattack that has the potential to expose sensitive data, internal systems or otherwise disrupt business operations. Those cyberattacks and security incidents may be due to intentional or unintentional acts by employees, contractors or third parties, who seek to gain unauthorized access to our or our service providers’ systems to disrupt operations, corrupt data or steal confidential information through malware, computer viruses, ransomware, social engineering (e.g., phishing attachments to e-mails) or other vectors. The risk of a cybersecurity breach or operational disruption, including by computer hackers, foreign governments and cyber terrorists, has generally increased as the number, intensity and sophistication of attempted attacks (including through the use of artificial intelligence) and intrusions from around the world have increased, particularly as remote working has become more common. Our IT networks and related systems are essential to the operation of our business and our ability to perform day-to-day operations and, in some cases, may be critical to the operations of certain of our clients.

While we maintain some of our own critical IT networks and related systems, we depend on third parties to provide important software, technologies, tools and a broad array of services and functions, such as payroll, human resources, electronic communications, data storage and certain finance and treasury functions, among others. In the ordinary course of our business, we collect, process, transmit and store sensitive data within our own systems and utilize those of third-party providers, including intellectual property, our proprietary business information and that of our clients, suppliers, business partners and investors as well as personally identifiable information. 22 22 22 Table of Contents Table of Contents Our measures to prevent, detect and mitigate these threats may not be successful in preventing a security incident or data breach or limiting the effects of such a breach. This is particularly so because cyberattack methodologies change frequently or are not recognized until launched, and we also may be unable to investigate or remediate incidents because attackers are increasingly using techniques and tools designed to circumvent controls, to avoid detection and to remove or obfuscate forensic evidence. Our clients, joint venture partners, investors or other third parties with whom we do business may, themselves, become subject to cyberattacks or security incident which we may have no control, and which could have an indirect adverse impact on them, us or our business relationship. The primary risks that could directly result from the occurrence of a cyberattack or security incident include operational interruption, damage to our relationship with our clients, reputational damage and private data exposure. We could be required to expend significant capital and other resources to address an attack or incident, which may not be covered or fully covered by our insurance, and which may involve payments for investigations, forensic analyses, legal advice, public relations advice, system repair or replacement or other services, in addition to any remedies or relief that may result from legal proceedings. Our financial results may be negatively impacted by any such cyberattacks and security incidents or any resulting negative media attention. Although we carry cyber liability insurance, such insurance may not be adequate to cover all losses related to such events. Further, we also rely on innovation in our IT and our use of or inability to adopt and deliver new technological capabilities and enhancements in line with strategic objectives, including artificial intelligence and machine learning, may put us at a competitive disadvantage (including delayed implementation and utilization that causes us to lag behind our competitors); cause us to miss opportunities to innovate or achieve efficiencies; or adversely impact our business, reputation, results of operations, and financial condition.

Those attacks and incidents may be due to intentional or unintentional acts by employees, contractors or third-parties, who seek to gain unauthorized access to our or our service providers’ systems to disrupt operations, corrupt data, or steal confidential information through malware, computer viruses, ransomware, social engineering (e.g., phishing attachments to e-mails) or other vectors. The risk of a cybersecurity breach or operational disruption, particularly through a cyber incident, including by computer hackers, foreign governments and cyber terrorists, has generally increased as the number, intensity and sophistication of attempted attacks and intrusions from around the world have increased, particularly as remote working has become more common. Our information technology (“IT”) networks and related systems are essential to the operation of our business and our ability to perform day-to-day operations and, in some cases, may be critical to the operations of certain of our clients. Although we make efforts to maintain the security and integrity of these types of IT networks and related systems, and we have implemented various measures to manage the risk of a security breach or disruption (such as the implementation of systems and/or vendors that provide constant monitoring of our IT networks and related systems for cyber-attacks and incidents); however, there can be no assurance that our security efforts and measures will be effective or that attempted security breaches or disruptions would not be successful or damaging. While we maintain some of our own critical IT networks and related systems, we depend on third-parties to provide important software, technologies, tools and a broad array of services and functions, such as payroll, human resources, electronic communications, data storage, and certain finance and treasury functions, among others. In the ordinary course of our business, we collect, process, transmit and store sensitive data, within our own systems and utilize those of third-party providers, including intellectual property, our proprietary business information and that of our clients, suppliers, business partners and investors, as well as personally identifiable information. Our measures to prevent, detect and mitigate these threats may not be successful in preventing a security incident or data breach or limiting the effects of such a breach. This is particularly so because attack methodologies change frequently or are not recognized until launched, and we also may be unable to investigate or remediate incidents 19 19 19 Table of Contents Table of Contents because attackers are increasingly using techniques and tools designed to circumvent controls, to avoid detection, and to remove or obfuscate forensic evidence. Our clients, joint venture partners, investors or other third parties with whom we do business may themselves become subject to cyberattacks or security incidents, over which we may have no control, and which could have an indirect adverse impact on them, us or our business relationship. The primary risks that could directly result from the occurrence of a cyber attack or security incident include operational interruption, damage to our relationship with our clients, reputational damage, and private data exposure. We could be required to expend significant capital and other resources to address an attack or incident, which may not be covered or fully covered by our insurance and which may involve payments for investigations, forensic analyses, legal advice, public relations advice, system repair or replacement, or other services, in addition to any remedies or relief that may result from legal proceedings. Our financial results may be negatively impacted by any such attacks and incidents or any resulting negative media attention.

We intend to incur additional indebtedness in the future which may be pursuant to accordion expansion features of our revolving credit and term loan facilities, the Fund, mergers, acquisitions, joint ventures, partnerships and other structures or arrangements. We also may in the future increase the size of our commercial paper programs or establish new commercial paper programs. We expect that we will continue to use our current and any new revolving credit facilities we may enter into (in each case as the same may be expanded, amended or restated, if applicable, from time to time), as a liquidity backstop for the repayment of notes issued under our current or any new commercial paper programs. We may in the future amend and restate current indebtedness or incur or assume other indebtedness for us, the Fund, and other co-investments which may increase the amounts we are entitled to borrow and amounts owned. To the extent new indebtedness is added to our current debt levels, the related risks that we now face would increase. As a result, we are and will be subject to risks associated with debt financing, including the risk that our cash flow could be insufficient to make required payments on our debt or to pay dividends on our common stock. We also face variable interest rate risk as the interest rates on our revolving credit facility, term loan facilities, and commercial paper programs are variable (subject to our interest rate swaps on our term loan facilities, in effect from time to time), and the interest rates on any credit facilities and term loan facilities we may enter into in the future may be variable, and could therefore increase over time. Commercial paper borrowings are short-term obligations and the interest rate on newly issued commercial paper varies according to market conditions at the time of issuance.

We also face the risk that we may be unable to refinance or repay our debt as it comes due. Given past disruptions in the financial markets and ongoing global financial uncertainties, we also face the risk that one or more of the participants in our revolving credit facility may be unwilling or unable to lend us money. We have incurred and may continue to incur indebtedness that is denominated in local currencies to fund our international investments and operations. However, it is possible that such indebtedness may be insufficient or may be on unacceptable terms requiring us to use non-local currency indebtedness. In such event, we may be subject to foreign exchange rate volatility. While we may enter into hedging and other derivatives instruments to mitigate our exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates, we may not realize the anticipated benefits from these arrangements or these arrangements may be insufficient to mitigate our exposure. Our credit agreements, mortgages and other debt documents could limit or, in certain cases, prohibit the payment of dividends and other distributions to holders of our common stock and any outstanding preferred stock. For example, the credit agreements governing our revolving credit facility and term loans generally provide that, if an event of default exists, we may not pay any dividends or make other distributions on, or repurchase or redeem, among other things, any shares of our common stock or any outstanding preferred stock. If such an event of default were to occur (including under any other credit agreement or debt instrument with similar terms that we may, in the future, enter into or be subject to), it would likely have a material adverse effect on the market price of our outstanding common stock and any outstanding preferred stock and on the market value of our debt securities which could limit 20 20 20 Table of Contents Table of Contents the amount of dividends or other distributions payable to holders of our common stock and any outstanding preferred stock or the amount of interest and principal we are able to pay on our indebtedness, or prevent us from paying those dividends, other distributions, interest or principal altogether, and may adversely affect our ability to qualify, or prevent us from qualifying, as a REIT. Our indebtedness could also have other important consequences to holders of our common stock, outstanding preferred stock, and our debt securities, including: increasing our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions; limiting our ability to obtain additional financing to fund future working capital, acquisitions, capital expenditures and other general corporate requirements; requiring the use of a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations for the payment of principal and interest on our indebtedness, thereby reducing our ability to use our cash flow to fund working capital, acquisitions, capital expenditures and general corporate requirements; limiting our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and our industry; and putting us at a disadvantage compared to our competitors with less indebtedness. If we default under a credit facility, loan agreement or other debt instrument, the lenders will generally have the right to demand immediate repayment of the principal and interest on all of their loans and, in the case of secured indebtedness, to exercise their rights to seize and sell the collateral. Moreover, a default under a single loan or debt instrument may trigger cross-default or cross-acceleration provisions in other indebtedness and debt instruments, giving the holders of such other indebtedness and debt instruments similar rights to demand immediate repayment and to seize and sell any collateral.", "prior_body": "We intend to incur additional indebtedness in the future, including borrowings under our $4.25 billion unsecured revolving credit facility and our $3.0 billion commercial paper programs. Our revolving credit facility grants us the option, subject to obtaining lender commitments and other customary conditions, to expand the borrowing limits thereunder to up to $5.25 billion. Our term loan agreement (the “2023 term loan agreement”) governs our 2023 term loans, pursuant to which we have borrowed an aggregate of approximately $1.0 billion in multicurrency borrowings. The 2023 term loan agreement also permits us to incur 9 9 9 Table of Contents Table of Contents additional term loans, up to an aggregate of $1.5 billion in total borrowings, pursuant to an accordion expansion feature, which is subject to obtaining lender commitments and other customary conditions.

At December 31, 2024, we also had a total of $22.9 billion of outstanding unsecured senior debt securities (excluding unamortized net original issuance premiums, deferred financing costs and basis adjustments on interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges), including approximately $5.0 billion denominated in Sterling (of which $1.1 billion is related to our privately placed Sterling notes), $1.1 billion denominated in Euro thereunder, and approximately $81.3 million of outstanding mortgage debt (excluding unamortized net discounts and deferred financing costs). In connection with the consummation of the closing of the merger (the “Merger”) with Spirit on January 23, 2024, we effectively assumed Spirit’s existing term loans with various lenders. Specifically, on January 22, 2024, we entered into an amended and restated term loan agreement, pursuant to which we borrowed $800 million in aggregate total borrowings, $300 million of which matures on August 22, 2025 and $500 million of which matures on August 20, 2027 (the “$800 million term loan agreement”), and an amended and restated term loan agreement pursuant to which we borrowed $500 million in aggregate total borrowings which matures on June 16, 2025. The $800 million term loan agreement and the $500 million term loan agreement became effective upon the closing of the Merger on January 23, 2024. Our A3/A- credit ratings provide for a borrowing rate of 80 basis points over the applicable benchmark rate, which includes adjusted Secured Overnight Financing Rate (\"SOFR\") for US Dollar-denominated loans, adjusted Sterling Overnight Indexed Average (“SONIA”) for Sterling-denominated loans, and Euro Interbank Offered Rate (“EURIBOR”) for Euro-denominated loans. In conjunction with closing, we executed one-year variable-to-fixed interest rate swaps which fix our per annum interest rate at 5.0% over the initial term. In addition, as a result of the Merger, all outstanding secured indebtedness, liabilities, and other indebtedness of Spirit and its subsidiaries, including $2.75 billion of additional senior unsecured notes that were originally issued by Spirit Realty Capital, L.P., substantially all of which were exchanged for senior unsecured notes issued by us, became indebtedness and liabilities of ours or our subsidiaries, as the case may be, which substantially increased the total secured indebtedness and the total liabilities and other indebtedness of us and our subsidiaries. Pursuant to our unsecured commercial paper programs we may offer and sell up to $3.0 billion of commercial paper at any time. We use our revolving credit facility as a liquidity backstop for the repayment of notes issued under the commercial paper programs. Specifically, we maintain unused borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility equal to the aggregate principal amount of borrowings outstanding under our commercial paper programs from time to time. We may in the future enter into amendments and restatements of our revolving credit facility and term loan facilities, or enter into new revolving credit facilities or term loan facilities, and any such amended, restated or replacement revolving credit facilities or term loan facilities may increase the amounts we are entitled to borrow, subject to customary conditions, compared to our current revolving credit facility and term loan facilities, or we may incur other indebtedness. We may also in the future increase the size of our commercial paper programs or establish new commercial paper programs. We expect that we will continue to use our current and any new revolving credit facilities we may enter into (in each case as the same may be expanded, amended or restated, if applicable, from time to time), as a liquidity backstop for the repayment of notes issued under our current or any new commercial paper programs that we may maintain from time to time. To the extent that new indebtedness is added to our current debt levels, the related risks that we now face would increase. As a result, we are and will be subject to risks associated with debt financing, including the risk that our cash flow could be insufficient to make required payments on our debt or to pay dividends on our common stock. We also face variable interest rate risk as the interest rates on our revolving credit facility, term loan facilities, and commercial paper programs are variable (subject to our interest rate swaps on our term loan facilities, in effect from time to time), and the interest rates on any credit facilities and term loan facilities we may enter into in the future may be variable, and could therefore increase over time. In addition, commercial paper borrowings are short-term obligations and the interest rate on newly issued commercial paper varies according to market conditions at the time of issuance. Similarly, some of the indebtedness to which we have become subject to subsequent to the Merger may also bear interest at variable rates. In addition, while we may enter into hedging and other derivatives instruments to mitigate our exposure to fluctuations in borrowing and currency rates, we may not realize the anticipated benefits from these arrangements or they may be insufficient to mitigate our exposure. We also face the risk that we may be unable to refinance or repay our debt as it comes due. Given past disruptions in the financial markets and ongoing global financial uncertainties, we also face the risk that one or more of the participants in our revolving credit facility may be unwilling or unable to lend us money. We have incurred and may continue to incur indebtedness that is denominated in local currencies to fund our international investments and operations. However, it is possible that such indebtedness may be insufficient or may 10 10 10 Table of Contents Table of Contents be on unacceptable terms requiring us to use non-local currency indebtedness. In such event, we may be subject to foreign exchange rate volatility. While we may enter into hedging and other derivatives instruments to mitigate our exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates, we may not realize the anticipated benefits from these arrangements or these arrangements may be insufficient to mitigate our exposure. Our revolving credit facility, our term loan facilities, and our mortgage loan documents contain provisions that could limit or, in certain cases, prohibit the payment of dividends and other distributions to holders of our common stock and any outstanding preferred stock. The credit agreements governing our revolving credit facility and term loan facilities provide that, if an event of default (as defined in the credit agreements, as applicable) exists, we may not pay any dividends or make other distributions on (except distributions payable in shares of a given class of our stock to the stockholders of that class), or repurchase or redeem, among other things, any shares of our common stock or any outstanding preferred stock, during any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters in an aggregate amount in excess of the greater of (i) the sum of 95% of our adjusted funds from operations (as defined in the credit agreements, as applicable) for that period plus the aggregate amount of cash distributions made to holders of our outstanding preferred stock for that period, and (ii) the minimum amount of cash distributions required to be made to our stockholders in order to maintain our status as a REIT for federal income tax purposes and to avoid the payment of income or excise taxes that would otherwise be imposed under specified sections of the Code on income we do not distribute to our stockholders, except we may repurchase or redeem shares of our outstanding preferred stock, if any, with net proceeds from the issuance of shares of our common stock or preferred stock. The credit agreements each provide that, in the event of a failure to pay principal, interest, or any other amount payable thereunder when due or upon the occurrence of certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization with respect to us or with respect to one or more of our subsidiaries that in the aggregate meet a significance test set forth in the credit agreements, we and our subsidiaries (other than our wholly-owned subsidiaries) may not pay dividends or make other distributions on (except for (a) distributions payable in shares of a given class of our stock to the stockholders of that class and (b) dividends and distributions described in (ii) above), or repurchase or redeem, among other things, any shares of our common stock or preferred stock. If any such event of default under the applicable credit agreements (or under any other credit agreement or debt instrument with similar terms that we may in the future enter into or be subject to) were to occur, it would likely have a material adverse effect on the market price of our outstanding common stock and any outstanding preferred stock and on the market value of our debt securities which could limit the amount of dividends or other distributions payable to holders of our common stock and any outstanding preferred stock or the amount of interest and principal we are able to pay on our indebtedness, or prevent us from paying those dividends, other distributions, interest or principal altogether, and may adversely affect our ability to qualify, or prevent us from qualifying, as a REIT. Our indebtedness could also have other important consequences to holders of our common stock, outstanding preferred stock, and our debt securities, including: increasing our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions; limiting our ability to obtain additional financing to fund future working capital, acquisitions, capital expenditures and other general corporate requirements; requiring the use of a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations for the payment of principal and interest on our indebtedness, thereby reducing our ability to use our cash flow to fund working capital, acquisitions, capital expenditures, and general corporate requirements; limiting our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and our industry; and putting us at a disadvantage compared to our competitors with less indebtedness. If we default under a credit facility, loan agreement, or other debt instrument, the lenders will generally have the right to demand immediate repayment of the principal and interest on all of their loans and, in the case of secured indebtedness, to exercise their rights to seize and sell the collateral. Moreover, a default under a single loan or debt instrument may trigger cross-default or cross-acceleration provisions in other indebtedness and debt instruments, giving the holders of such other indebtedness and debt instruments similar rights to demand immediate repayment and to seize and sell any collateral." }, { "status": "MODIFIED", "current_title": "Fair Value - asset (liability)", "prior_title": "Fair Value - asset (liability)", "similarity_score": 0.844, "confidence": "high", "key_changes": [ "Reworded sentence: \"as of Interest rate swaps (4) Cross-currency swaps - Fair Value Cross-currency swaps - Net Investment Foreign currency forwards Currency exchange swaps (1)This column represents the number of instruments outstanding as of December 31, 2025.\"", "Reworded sentence: \"84 84 84 Table of Contents Table of Contents The following table summarizes the amount of unrealized gain (loss) on derivatives and foreign currency translation adjustments in other comprehensive income (in thousands): Years ended December 31,Derivatives in Cash Flow Hedging Relationships202520242023Interest rate swaps $(15,627)$(5,575)$(11,171)Foreign currency forwards (17,973)6,546 $(13,349)Interest rate swaptions (1,955)1,471 $1,858 Total derivatives in cash flow hedging relationships$(35,555)$2,442 $(22,662)Derivatives in Fair Value Hedging RelationshipsCross-currency swaps - Fair Value$10,404 $(5,224)$(14,602)Total derivatives in fair value hedging relationships$10,404 $(5,224)$(14,602)Total unrealized loss on derivatives, net$(25,151)$(2,782)$(37,264)Derivatives and Non-derivatives in Net Investment Hedging RelationshipsCross-currency swaps - Net Investment$(30,390)$13,569 $(4,272)Foreign currency debt(9,369)2,315 $— Total unrealized (loss) gain recorded in foreign currency translation adjustment$(39,759)$15,884 $(4,272) The following table summarizes the amount of gain (loss) on derivatives reclassified from AOCI (in thousands): Years ended December 31,Derivatives in Cash Flow Hedging RelationshipsLocation of (Decrease) Increase Recognized in Income202520242023Interest rate swapsInterest$10,053 $31,385 $15,794 Foreign currency forwardsForeign currency and derivative (loss) gain, net(12,542)3,831 4,251 Interest rate swaptionsInterest296 (13)(6,859)Total derivatives in cash flow hedging relationships$(2,193)$35,203 $13,186 Derivatives in Fair Value Hedging RelationshipsCross-currency swaps - Fair ValueForeign currency and derivative (loss) gain, net$(404)$1,806 $1,415 Total derivatives in fair value hedging relationships$(404)$1,806 $1,415 Derivatives in Net Investment Hedging RelationshipsCross-currency swaps - Net Investment (excluded component)Foreign currency and derivative (loss) gain, net$1,873 $3,444 $62 Total derivatives in net investment hedging relationships$1,873 $3,444 $62 Net (decrease) increase to net income $(724)$40,453 $14,663\"" ], "current_body": "as of Interest rate swaps (4) Cross-currency swaps - Fair Value Cross-currency swaps - Net Investment Foreign currency forwards Currency exchange swaps (1)This column represents the number of instruments outstanding as of December 31, 2025.

Additionally, above-market rents on leases acquired through sale-leaseback transactions under which we are a lessor are accounted for as financing receivables amortizing over the lease term, while below-market rents on leases under which we are a lessor are accounted for as prepaid rent. In an acquisition of multiple properties, we must also allocate the purchase price among the properties. The allocation of the purchase price is based on our assessment of estimated fair value of the land, building and improvements, and identified intangible assets and liabilities and is often based upon the various characteristics of the market where the property is located. In addition, any assumed mortgages are recorded at their estimated fair values. The estimated fair values of our mortgages payable have been calculated by discounting the future cash flows using applicable interest rates that have been adjusted for factors, such as industry type, client investment grade, maturity date, and comparable borrowings for similar assets. The use of different assumptions in the allocation of the purchase price of the acquired properties and liabilities assumed could affect the timing of recognition of the related revenue and expenses. 41 41 41 Table of Contents Table of Contents", "prior_body": "Management must make significant assumptions in determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. We evaluate whether or not substantially all of the value of acquired assets is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of identifiable assets to determine whether a transaction is accounted for as an asset acquisition or a business combination. A majority of our acquisitions qualify as asset acquisitions and the transaction costs associated with those acquisitions are capitalized. However, for transactions that qualify as business combinations, such as the Merger, we expense the transaction costs and categorize them as merger, transaction, and other costs, net in our consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. For business combinations, we recognize the amount of any purchase consideration that exceeds the fair value of all identified assets acquired and liabilities assumed as goodwill and may record measurement period adjustments within one year of the acquisition date as permitted under ASC 805, Business Combinations (for more details see note 2, Merger with Spirit Realty Capital, Inc. to our consolidated financial statements contained in this annual report). For asset acquisitions, we allocate the cost of real estate acquired, inclusive of transaction costs, to: (1) land, (2) building and improvements, and (3) identified intangible assets and liabilities, based in each case on their relative estimated fair values. For business combinations, all assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at fair value. The difference between the purchase consideration and the aggregated fair value is recognized as goodwill or a gain on bargain purchase. Intangible assets and liabilities consist of above-market or below-market lease value and the value of in-place leases, as applicable. Additionally, above-market rents on leases acquired through sale-leaseback transactions under which we are a lessor are accounted for as financing receivables amortizing over the lease term, while below-market rents on leases under which we are a lessor are accounted for as prepaid rent.

Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

The communication of a critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates. Assessment of the expected holding period for long-lived assets As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company evaluates long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances, including shortening the estimated holding periods of such assets, indicate that the carrying amount of these assets may not be recoverable. The Company's long-lived assets primarily consist of its real estate held for investment and the related lease intangible assets, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization, which were $59.1 billion as of December 31, 2025. We identified the assessment of the Company's impairment analysis for certain long-lived assets as a critical audit matter. Specifically, subjective auditor judgment was required in identifying and assessing the events or changes in circumstances which may indicate a shortening of the estimated holding periods for long-lived assets. Changes in the estimated holding periods could have a significant impact on the recoverability of the long-lived assets. 52 52 52 Table of Contents Table of Contents The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter. We evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of certain internal controls, which included identification and assessment of events or changes in circumstances that indicate a shortening of the estimated holding period of long-lived assets. We evaluated the Company's estimated holding period by (i) inquiring of the Company's management, including personnel outside of the accounting department, regarding changes to the estimated holding period, (ii) obtaining written representations from management, (iii) reading the minutes of the board of directors of the Company, (iv) analyzing documents prepared by the Company regarding potential long-lived asset disposition transactions, and (v) evaluating events occurring after December 31, 2025. /s/ KPMG LLP We have served as the Company’s auditor since 1993.

Evaluation of the Fair Value of Acquired Land As discussed in Notes 2 and 4 to the consolidated financial statements, during 2024 the Company acquired $10.1 billion of real estate properties. As discussed in Note 1, the purchase price of a real estate acquisition is typically allocated among the individual components of both tangible and intangible assets and liabilities acquired based on their estimated fair values. We identified the evaluation of the fair value of acquired land as a critical audit matter. Specifically, the measurement of the fair values of land is dependent upon significant assumptions of market land values for which relevant external market data is not always readily available. Subjective auditor judgment was required in evaluating the fair value measurements given the sensitivity of the fair value measurements to changes in these assumptions. 47 47 47 Table of Contents Table of Contents The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter. We evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of certain internal controls over the Company’s process to allocate the purchase price of real estate acquisitions. This included controls over the measurement of the fair value of land. For a selection of real estate acquisitions, we involved valuation professionals with specialized skills and knowledge who assisted in evaluating a selection of the Company’s acquired land values by comparing them to independently developed ranges using market data from industry transaction databases and published industry reports. /s/ KPMG LLP We have served as the Company’s auditor since 1993.

Government regulations may limit the indices we can utilize in lease adjustments, thereby limiting our ability to increase rent.

Such laws and regulations could change or could be interpreted differently in the future, or new laws and regulations could be enacted, which could adversely affect our operating results, and may also result in additional taxes or licensing fees imposed on us and our gaming clients. In addition, subject to certain administrative due process requirements, gaming regulators generally have broad authority to conduct investigations into the conduct or associations of our officers or certain investors to ensure compliance with applicable standards and suitability to hold a gaming license, and to deny any application or limit, condition, restrict, revoke, or suspend any gaming license, registration, or finding of suitability or approval, or fine any person licensed, registered, or found suitable or qualified as a licensee. As a result, our ability to obtain or maintain our required licenses and approvals, or avoid penalties related thereto, may be subject to risks, including risks outside of our control, and cannot be predicted.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2025, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, and our report dated February 24, 2026 expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Basis for Opinion These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. Critical Audit Matter The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of a critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates. Assessment of the expected holding period for long-lived assets As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company evaluates long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances, including shortening the estimated holding periods of such assets, indicate that the carrying amount of these assets may not be recoverable. The Company's long-lived assets primarily consist of its real estate held for investment and the related lease intangible assets, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization, which were $59.1 billion as of December 31, 2025. We identified the assessment of the Company's impairment analysis for certain long-lived assets as a critical audit matter. Specifically, subjective auditor judgment was required in identifying and assessing the events or changes in circumstances which may indicate a shortening of the estimated holding periods for long-lived assets. Changes in the estimated holding periods could have a significant impact on the recoverability of the long-lived assets. 52 52 52 Table of Contents Table of Contents The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter. We evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of certain internal controls, which included identification and assessment of events or changes in circumstances that indicate a shortening of the estimated holding period of long-lived assets. We evaluated the Company's estimated holding period by (i) inquiring of the Company's management, including personnel outside of the accounting department, regarding changes to the estimated holding period, (ii) obtaining written representations from management, (iii) reading the minutes of the board of directors of the Company, (iv) analyzing documents prepared by the Company regarding potential long-lived asset disposition transactions, and (v) evaluating events occurring after December 31, 2025. /s/ KPMG LLP We have served as the Company’s auditor since 1993.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies", "current_body": "Realty Income Corporation (“Realty Income,” the “Company,” “we,” “our” or “us”), a Maryland corporation, is an S&P 500 company and real estate partner to the world's leading companies®. The Company was founded in 1969 and our shares of common stock trade on the New York Stock Exchange (\"NYSE\") under the symbol “O”. As of December 31, 2025, we owned or held interests in a diversified portfolio of 15,511 properties located in all 50 states of the United States (\"U.S.\"), the United Kingdom (\"U.K.\"), and eight other countries in Europe, with approximately 355.0 million square feet of leasable space. Information with respect to number of properties, leasable square feet, average initial lease term and initial weighted average cash yield is unaudited. Basis of Presentation. These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (\"U.S. GAAP\"). Intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. The U.S. Dollar (\"USD\") is our reporting currency. Unless otherwise indicated, all dollar amounts are expressed in USD. For our consolidated subsidiaries whose functional currency is not the USD, we translate their financial statements into USD at the time we consolidate those subsidiaries’ financial statements. Generally, assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. The resulting translation adjustments are included in 'Accumulated other comprehensive income' (\"AOCI\") on our consolidated balance sheets. Certain balance sheet items, primarily equity and capital-related accounts, are reflected at the historical exchange rate. Income statement accounts are translated using the average exchange rate for the period. We and certain of our consolidated subsidiaries have intercompany and third-party debt that is not denominated in our functional currency. When the debt is remeasured to the functional currency of the entity, a gain or loss can result. The resulting adjustment is reflected in 'Foreign currency and derivative (loss) gain, net' in our consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. In the statement of cash flows, cash flows denominated in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rates in effect at the time of the respective cash flows or at average exchange rates for the period, depending on the nature of the cash flow items. Principles of Consolidation. These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Realty Income and all other entities in which we have a controlling financial interest. We evaluate whether we have a controlling financial interest in an entity in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (\"ASC\") 810, Consolidation. Voting interest entities (\"VOEs\") are entities considered to have sufficient equity at risk and which the equity holders have the obligation to absorb losses, the right to receive residual returns and the right to make decisions about the entity’s activities. We consolidate voting interest entities in which we have a controlling financial interest, which we typically have through holding of a majority of the entity’s voting equity interests. Variable interest entities (\"VIEs\") are entities that lack sufficient equity at risk or where the equity holders either do not have the obligation to absorb losses, do not have the right to receive residual returns, do not have the right to make decisions about the entity’s activities, or some combination of the above. A controlling financial interest in a VIE is present when an entity has a variable interest, or a combination of variable interests, that provides the entity with (i) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. An entity that meets both conditions above is deemed the primary beneficiary and consolidates the VIE. We reassess our initial evaluation of whether an entity is a VIE when certain reconsideration events occur. We reassess our determination of whether we are the primary beneficiary of a VIE on an ongoing basis based on current facts and circumstances. 59 59 59 Table of Contents Table of Contents During the year ended December 31, 2025, we formed and announced closings with respect to our open-end, perpetual life private capital vehicle (the \"Fund\"). As of December 31, 2025, we are considered the primary beneficiary of the Fund, Realty Income, L.P. and certain investments, including investments in joint ventures. Below is a summary of selected financial data of such consolidated VIEs, included on our consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 (in thousands): December 31, 2025December 31, 2024Net real estate$4,831,968$2,882,135 Total assets$5,579,888$3,461,843 Total liabilities$422,092$131,096 Net real estate Total assets Total liabilities The portion of a consolidated entity not owned by us is recorded as a noncontrolling interest. Noncontrolling interests are reflected on our consolidated balance sheets as a component of equity. Noncontrolling interests that were created or assumed as part of a business combination or asset acquisition were recognized at fair value as of the date of the transaction. For further details, see note 12, Noncontrolling Interests. The portion of a consolidated entity not owned by us is recorded as a noncontrolling interest. Noncontrolling interests are reflected on our consolidated balance sheets as a component of equity. Noncontrolling interests that were created or assumed as part of a business combination or asset acquisition were recognized at fair value as of the date of the transaction. Use of Estimates. The consolidated financial statements were prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Net Income per Common Share. Basic net income per common share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted net income per common share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders, plus income attributable to dilutive shares and convertible common units for the period, by the weighted average number of common shares that would have been outstanding assuming the issuance of common shares for all dilutive common shares outstanding during the reporting period. For more detail, see note 18, Net Income per Common Share. Net Income per Common Share. Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash. We consider all short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to cash and have an original maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. Restricted cash includes cash proceeds from the sale of assets held by qualified intermediaries in anticipation of the acquisition of replacement properties in tax-free exchanges under Section 1031 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), impounds related to mortgages payable and cash that is not immediately available to Realty Income (i.e. escrow deposits for future acquisitions). Cash accounts maintained on behalf of Realty Income in demand deposits at commercial banks and money market funds may exceed federally insured levels or may be held in accounts without any federal insurance or any other insurance or guarantee. However, Realty Income has not experienced any losses in such accounts. Income Taxes. We have elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (\"REIT\"), under the Code, as amended. We believe we have qualified and continue to qualify as a REIT. Under the REIT operating structure, we are permitted to deduct dividends paid to our stockholders in determining our taxable income. Assuming our dividends equal or exceed our taxable net income in the U.S., we generally will not be required to pay U.S. income taxes on such income. Accordingly, no provision has been made for federal income taxes in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, except for federal income taxes of our taxable REIT subsidiaries (\"TRS\"). A TRS is a subsidiary of a REIT that is subject to federal, state and local income taxes, as applicable. Our use of TRS entities enables us to engage in certain business activities while complying with the REIT qualification requirements and to retain any income generated by these businesses for reinvestment without the requirement to distribute those earnings. We are liable for taxes in our applicable international territories and have made the appropriate provisions in those territories. Therefore, the income taxes recorded in our consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income represent amounts for U.S. income taxes on our TRS entities, city and state income and franchise taxes, as well as income taxes for the applicable international territories. We recognize deferred income tax in our taxable subsidiaries, including certain international jurisdictions. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are generally the result of temporary differences between book and tax accounting, such as timing differences caused by different useful lives used for depreciation. We provide for a valuation allowance for deferred income tax assets if we believe some or all of the deferred income tax assets may not be realized. 60 60 60 Table of Contents Table of Contents Earnings and profits that determine the taxability of distributions to stockholders differ from net income reported for financial reporting purposes primarily due to differences in the estimated useful lives and methods used to compute depreciation and the carrying value (basis) of the investments in properties for tax purposes, among other things. We regularly analyze our various international, federal and state filing positions and only recognize the income tax effect in our financial statements when certain criteria regarding uncertain income tax positions have been met. We believe that our income tax positions would more likely than not be sustained upon examination by all relevant taxing authorities. Therefore, no provisions for uncertain tax positions have been recorded on our consolidated financial statements. Lease Revenue Recognition and Accounts Receivable. The majority of our leases are accounted for as operating leases. Under this method, leases that have fixed and determinable rent increases are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Any rental revenue contingent upon our client’s sales, or percentage rent, is recognized only after our client exceeds their sales breakpoint. Rental increases based upon changes in the consumer price indices are recognized only after the changes in the indexes have occurred and are then applied according to the lease agreements. Lease termination fees, which are included in rental revenue, are amortized over the remaining term of the lease until we have no continuing obligation to provide services to such former client. Contractually obligated rental revenue from our clients for recoverable real estate taxes and operating expenses are included in contractually obligated reimbursements by our clients, a component of rental revenue, in the period when such costs are incurred. Taxes and operating expenses paid directly by our clients are recorded on a net basis. Other revenue includes certain property-related revenue not included in rental revenue and interest income recognized on financing receivables for certain leases with above-market terms. We assess the probability of collecting substantially all of the lease payments to which we are entitled under the original lease contract as required under ASC 842, Leases. We assess the collectability of our future lease payments based on an analysis of creditworthiness, economic trends and other facts and circumstances related to the applicable clients. If we conclude the collection of substantially all of lease payments under a lease is less than probable, rental revenue recognized for that lease is limited to cash received going forward, existing operating lease receivables, including those related to straight-line rental revenue, must be written off as an adjustment to rental revenue, and no further operating lease receivables are recorded for that lease until such future determination is made that substantially all lease payments under that lease are now considered probable. If we subsequently conclude that the collection of substantially all lease payments under a lease is probable, a reversal of lease receivables previously written off is recognized. In addition to the client-specific collectability assessment conducted, we may also recognize a general allowance, as a reduction to rental revenue, for our operating lease receivables which are not expected to be fully collectible. We had $5.1 million of general allowance as of December 31, 2025. There was no general allowance as of December 31, 2024. Loans Receivable. Our acquired loans are classified as held for investment and are carried at their amortized cost basis. We recognize interest income on loans receivable using a method that approximates the effective-interest method. Direct costs associated with originating loans, along with any premium or discount, are deferred and amortized as an adjustment to interest income over the term of the loan using the effective interest method. When management identifies the full recovery of the contractually specified payments of principal and interest of a loan is less than probable, we evaluate the expected loss amount and place it on non-accrual status. We made the accounting policy election to record accrued interest on our loan portfolio separate from our loan receivable and other lending investments. These loans and the related interest receivable are presented in 'Other assets, net' on our consolidated balance sheets. Financing Receivables. For properties we acquire that qualify as sale-leaseback transactions and for which the purchase price is in excess of the fair value of the real estate acquired, the difference is accounted for as financing receivables, presented within 'Other assets, net' on our consolidated balance sheets. Rent payments are allocated between rental income and the financing receivable. Interest income on the financing receivable is recognized using the interest rate implicit in the leaseback and presented within 'Other' revenue in our consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. Financing Receivables. 61 61 61 Table of Contents Table of Contents Allowance for Credit Losses. The allowance for credit losses, which is recorded as a reduction to loans receivable and financing receivable within 'Other assets, net' on our consolidated balance sheets, is using a probability of default method based on our clients respective credit ratings, our historical experience, and the expected value of the underlying collateral upon its repossession. If we determine a financing receivable no longer shares risk characteristics with other financing receivables in the pool, we evaluate the financing receivable for expected credit losses on an individual basis. Included in our model are factors that incorporate forward-looking information. Changes in our allowance for credit losses are presented in 'Provisions for impairment' in our consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. For further details, see note 7, Investments in Loans and Financing Receivables. Merger, Transaction, and Other Costs, Net. Merger, transaction, and other costs, net include (i) merger-related transaction costs, primarily consisting of employee severance, post-combination share-based compensation, transfer taxes, and various professional fees directly attributable to a merger, (ii) organization costs for potential strategic ventures and business lines, (iii) placement fees incurred in fundraising of the Fund, (iv) corporate facilities lease termination costs, and (v) other costs that do not align with the ongoing operations of our business. During the year ended December 31, 2025, we incurred $24.2 million of merger, transaction, and other costs, net consisting primarily of placement fees incurred in fundraising for the Fund. During the year ended December 31, 2024, we incurred $96.3 million of merger, transaction, and other costs, net consisting of $86.7 million of transaction and integration-related costs related to our merger (the \"Merger\") with Spirit Realty Capital, Inc. (\"Spirit\") (see note 2), $5.1 million related to the lease termination of a legacy corporate facility, and $4.5 million related to the establishment of the Fund. Merger, Transaction, and Other Costs, Net. Gain on Sales of Real Estate. When real estate is sold, the carrying amount of the applicable assets is derecognized with a corresponding gain from the sale recognized in our consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. We record a gain on sale of real estate pursuant to provisions under ASC 610-20, Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets. We determine whether we would have a controlling financial interest in the property after the sale. We record a gain from the sale of real estate provided that various criteria, relating to the terms of the sale and any subsequent involvement by us with the real estate, have been met. Gain on Sales of Real Estate . When real estate is sold, the carrying amount of the applicable assets is derecognized with a corresponding gain from the sale recognized in our consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. We record a gain on sale of real estate pursuant to provisions under ASC 610-20 , Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets Allocation of the Purchase Price of Real Estate Acquisitions. We evaluate whether or not substantially all of the fair value of acquired assets is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of identifiable assets to determine whether a transaction is accounted for as an asset acquisition or a business combination. As the fair value of most of our real estate acquisitions is concentrated in either a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, our real estate transactions are generally accounted for as asset acquisitions, and the transaction costs associated with those acquisitions are capitalized to the basis of the acquired properties. Any difference between the total cost and estimated fair value of an asset acquisition is allocated to the real estate properties (i.e., land and buildings/improvements) and related lease intangibles (i.e., in-place lease and any related off-market terms) on a relative fair value basis. All other assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at fair value. For business combinations, on the other hand, we expense the transaction costs and categorize them as 'Merger, transaction, and other costs, net' in our consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. All assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination are recorded at fair value. The amount of any purchase consideration that exceeds the fair value of all identified assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recognized as goodwill. To the extent that the purchase price is less than the fair value, however, a gain on bargain purchase is recognized. As permitted under ASC 805, Business Combinations, we may record measurement period adjustments within one year of the acquisition date. Whether a transaction is accounted for as an asset acquisition or business combination, the measurement of fair value is based on management's judgment and various factors, including market land and building values, market rental rates, discount rates, and capitalization rates. Our methodology for measuring and allocating the fair value of real estate acquisitions includes both observable market data (categorized as level 2 on the three-level valuation hierarchy of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement), and unobservable inputs that reflect our own internal assumptions (categorized as level 3 under ASC 820). Given the significance of the unobservable inputs, we believe the allocations of fair value of real estate acquisitions should be categorized as level 3 under ASC 820. From time to time, we have used, and may continue to use, the assistance of independent third parties specializing in real estate valuations to prepare our purchase price allocations. The allocation of tangible assets (which includes land and buildings/improvements) of an acquired property with an in-place lease is based upon fair value. Land is typically valued utilizing the sales comparison (or market) approach. 62 62 62 Table of Contents Table of Contents Buildings and improvements are typically valued under the replacement cost approach. Operating properties may be valued using the direct capitalization method, a type of income approach where a capitalization rate is applied to the stabilized estimated net operating income of a property. The determined fair value of each property is then allocated to land, building, and improvements at a property level. In allocating the fair value to identified intangibles for above-market or below-market leases, an amount is recorded based on the present value of the difference between (i) the contractual amount to be paid pursuant to the in-place lease and (ii) our estimate of fair market lease rate for the corresponding in-place lease, measured over the remaining assumed contract term of the lease. The value of in-place leases is determined by our estimated costs related to acquiring a client and the carrying costs that would be incurred over the vacancy period to locate a client if the property were vacant, considering market conditions and costs to execute similar leases at the time of acquisition. The values of the above-market and below-market leases are amortized over the term of the respective leases, including any bargain renewal options, as an adjustment to rental revenue in our consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. The value of in-place leases, exclusive of the value of above-market and below-market in-place leases, is amortized to depreciation and amortization expense over the remaining periods of the respective leases. If a lease is terminated prior to its stated expiration, all unamortized amounts relating to that lease are recorded to revenue or expense as appropriate. Real Estate and Lease Intangibles Held for Sale. We generally reclassify assets to held for sale when the disposition has been approved, there are no known contingencies relating to the sale and the consummation of the disposition is considered probable within one year. Upon classifying a real estate investment as held for sale, we will no longer recognize depreciation expense related to the depreciable assets of the property. Assets held for sale are recorded at the lower of carrying value or estimated fair value, less the estimated cost to dispose of the assets. Sixty-four properties were classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2025. If circumstances arise that we previously considered unlikely and, as a result, we decide not to sell a property previously classified as held for sale, we will reclassify the property as held for investment. We measure and record a property that is reclassified as held for investment at the lower of (i) its carrying value before the property was classified as held for sale, adjusted for any depreciation expense that would have been recognized had the property been continuously classified as held for investment or (ii) the estimated fair value at the date of the subsequent decision not to sell. Investment in Unconsolidated Entities. Investments in unconsolidated entities of which we are not considered the primary beneficiary, include VIEs and are accounted for using the equity method as we have the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financing policies of these investments. We initially recognize the fair value of our contribution as an equity method investment. We subsequently adjust these balances for our proportionate share of net earnings/losses of the entities, distributions received, and contributions made. Transaction costs related to the formation of equity method investments are also capitalized, resulting in a basis difference. This basis difference is amortized over the estimated useful life of the respective underlying assets and/or liabilities. The carrying value of our investment is included in 'Investment in unconsolidated entities' on our consolidated balance sheets. We record our proportionate share of net income from the unconsolidated entities in 'Equity in earnings of unconsolidated entities' in our consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. With regard to distributions from unconsolidated entities, we have elected the nature of distribution approach as the information is available to us to determine the nature of the underlying activity that generated the distributions. In accordance with such approach, cash flows generated from the operations of an unconsolidated entity are classified as a return on investment (cash inflow from operating activities) and cash flows that are generated from other activities, such as property sales, debt refinancing or sale and redemptions of our investments are classified as a return of investment (cash inflow from investing activities). Our contribution to the unconsolidated entities or any distributions from them as returns of investment are classified as investing activities. Our investment in unconsolidated entities includes preferred interests. Upon acquisition, we assess whether such investment should be considered debt or equity securities based on investment terms. As of December 31, 2025, our investment balance includes preferred interests classified as equity securities without a readily determinable fair value, for which we elect to apply the measurement alternative and record the value of the investment at cost, less any applicable impairment. Goodwill. Upon the closing of a business combination, after identifying all tangible and intangible assets and liabilities, the excess consideration paid over the fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired and assumed, respectively, represents goodwill. In connection with the Merger, we recorded goodwill as a result of consideration exceeding the net assets acquired. For further details, see note 2, Merger with Spirit Realty Capital, Inc. 63 63 63 Table of Contents Table of Contents Deferred Financing Costs. Deferred financing costs represent commitment fees, legal fees and other costs associated with obtaining or originating financing. Deferred financing costs, other than those associated with the line of credit, are presented on our consolidated balance sheets as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability. Deferred financing costs related to the line of credit are included in 'Other assets, net' in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. These costs are amortized to interest expense over the terms of the respective financing agreements that approximates the effective interest method. Deferred Financing Costs. Depreciation and Amortization. Land, buildings and improvements are recorded and stated at cost. Major replacements and betterments, which improve or extend the life of the asset, are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives, while ordinary repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Buildings and improvements that are under redevelopment, or are being developed, are carried at cost and no depreciation is recorded on these assets. Additionally, amounts essential to the development of the property, such as pre-construction, development, construction, interest and other costs incurred during the period of development are capitalized. We cease capitalization when the property is available for occupancy upon substantial completion of property improvements to accommodate the client's use, but in any event no later than one year from the completion of major construction activity. Properties are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful lives are as follows: Buildings25 to 35 yearsBuilding improvements4 to 35 yearsEquipment5 to 25 yearsLease commissions and property improvements to accommodate the client's useThe shorter of the term of the related lease or useful lifeAcquired in-place leasesRemaining terms of the respective leases 25 to 35 years 4 to 35 years 5 to 25 years Provisions for Impairment - Real Estate Assets. We review long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If estimated future operating cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) plus estimated disposition proceeds (undiscounted) are less than the current book value of the property, a fair value analysis is performed and, to the extent the estimated fair value is less than the current book value, a provision for impairment is recorded to reduce the book value to estimated fair value. Key assumptions that we utilize in this analysis include projected rental rates, estimated holding periods, capital expenditures and property sales capitalization rates. For further details, see note 13, Fair Value Measurements. Provisions for Impairment - Goodwill. Goodwill is not amortized, but is subject to impairment reviews annually, or more frequently if necessary. Goodwill is qualitatively assessed to determine whether a quantitative impairment assessment is necessary. Impairment is the condition that exists when the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value. If the carrying value of the asset exceeds its estimated fair value, an impairment loss is recognized, and the asset is written down to its estimated fair value. We perform our annual goodwill impairment assessment as of June 30. During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, there were no impairments of goodwill. Provisions for Impairment - Investment in Unconsolidated Entities. During our ownership of properties that are accounted for under the equity method and considered unconsolidated entities, and when circumstances indicate that a decrease in the value of an equity method investment has occurred that is other than temporary, we recognize an impairment loss, which requires significant judgment. To determine whether the impairment loss is other-than-temporary, we consider whether we have the ability and intent to hold the investment until the carrying value is fully recovered. We evaluate the impairment of our investment in unconsolidated entities in accordance with accounting standards for equity investments by first reviewing each investment for indicators of impairment. If indicators are present, we estimate the fair value of the investments. If the carrying value of the investment is greater than the estimated fair value, we make an assessment of whether the impairment is temporary or other-than-temporary. In making this assessment, we consider the length of time and the extent to which fair value has been less than cost, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the entity, and our intent and ability to retain the interest long enough for a recovery in market value. The investment is then reduced to its estimated fair value if conclusions indicate the impairment is other than temporary. Provisions for Impairment - Investment in Unconsolidated Entities. Equity Offering Costs. Underwriting commissions and offering costs have been reflected as a reduction of additional paid-in-capital on our consolidated balance sheets. 64 64 64 Table of Contents Table of Contents Derivative and Hedging Activities. Derivatives are financial arrangements among two or more parties with returns linked to or “derived” from an underlying equity, debt, commodity, other asset, liability, interest rate, foreign exchange rate or another index, or the occurrence or nonoccurrence of a specified event. The settlement of a derivative is determined by its underlying notional amount specified in the contract. Derivative contracts may be entered into outright or embedded within a non-derivative host contract, and may be listed, traded on exchanges or privately negotiated directly between two parties. We actively manage interest rate and foreign currency exposures arising from our liquidity and funding activities using derivative instruments. We record all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. The majority of inputs used to value our derivatives fall within level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recognized in earnings unless the derivative is designated in a hedging relationship and qualifying changes are deferred in AOCI in accordance with hedge accounting guidance. Amounts deferred in AOCI are subsequently recognized in our consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income as the hedged item affects earnings or when other triggering events occur that require reclassification. Newly Issued Accounting Standards. In September 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (\"FASB\") issued Accounting Standards Update (\"ASU\") 2025-06, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software, which simplifies the capitalization guidance by removing references to software development project stages and further updates so that the guidance considers various software development methods. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. The amendments in this update permit an entity to apply the new guidance using a prospective, retrospective or modified transition approach. While we are currently evaluating the impact of this pronouncement, we do not expect it will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures, requiring all public business entities to provide additional disclosure of the nature of expenses included in the income statement. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, on a prospective basis, with early adoption permitted.

If a property is held for sale, it is carried at the lower of carrying cost or estimated fair value, less estimated cost to sell. The carrying value of our real estate is the largest component of our consolidated balance sheets. Our strategy of primarily holding properties, long-term, directly decreases the likelihood of their carrying values not being recoverable, thus requiring the recognition of an impairment. However, if our strategy, or one or more of the above assumptions were to change in the future, an impairment may need to be recognized.

A prolonged downturn in the equity or credit markets may cause us to refinance at higher rates, cause us to seek alternative sources of potentially less attractive financing and require us to adjust our business plan accordingly.

Distributions are paid monthly to the limited partners holding common units of Realty Income, L.P., each on a per unit basis that is equal to the amount paid per share to our common stockholders (subject to the adjustment factor applicable to those units at the time of such distribution). In order to maintain our status as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, we generally are required to distribute dividends to our stockholders aggregating annually at least 90% of our taxable income (excluding net capital gains), and we are subject to income tax to the extent we distribute less than 100% of our taxable income (including net capital gains). In 2025, our cash distributions to common stockholders totaled $2.92 billion, or approximately 159.0% of our estimated taxable income of $1.84 billion. Certain measures are available to us to reduce or eliminate our tax exposure as a REIT, and accordingly, no provision for U.S. federal income taxes, other than our taxable REIT subsidiaries (each, a \"TRS\"), has been made. Our estimated taxable income reflects non-cash deductions for depreciation and amortization. Our estimated taxable income is presented to show our compliance with REIT dividend requirements and is not a measure of our liquidity or operating performance. We intend to continue to make distributions to our stockholders that are sufficient to meet this dividend requirement and that will reduce or eliminate our exposure to income taxes. Furthermore, we believe our cash on hand and funds from operations are sufficient to support our current level of cash distributions to our stockholders. We distributed $3.22 per share to stockholders during the year ended December 31, 2025, representing 75.2% of our diluted Adjusted Funds from Operations Available to Common Stockholders (\"AFFO\") per share of $4.28. Future distributions will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend on, among other things, our results of operations, Funds from Operations Available to Common Stockholders (\"FFO\"), Normalized Funds from Operations Available to Common Stockholders (\"Normalized FFO\"), AFFO, cash flow from operations, financial condition, capital requirements, the annual distribution requirements under the REIT provisions of the Code, our debt service requirements, and any other factors the Board of Directors may deem relevant. In addition, our RI Credit Facilities contain financial covenants that could limit the amount of distributions payable by us in the event of a default, and which prohibit the payment of distributions on our common stock in the event that we fail to pay when due (subject to any applicable grace period) any principal or interest on borrowings under our RI Credit Facilities. 36 36 36 Table of Contents Table of Contents Distributions of our current and accumulated earnings and profits for federal income tax purposes generally will be taxable to stockholders as ordinary income, except to the extent that we recognize capital gains and declare a capital gains dividend, or that such amounts constitute “qualified dividend income” subject to a reduced rate of tax. The maximum tax rate of non-corporate taxpayers for “qualified dividend income” is generally 20%. In general, dividends payable by REITs are not eligible for the reduced tax rate on qualified dividend income, except to the extent that certain holding requirements have been met with respect to the REIT’s stock and the REIT’s dividends are attributable to dividends received from certain taxable corporations (such as our TRSs) or to income that was subject to tax at the corporate or REIT level (for example, if we distribute taxable income that we retained and paid tax on in the prior taxable year). However, non-corporate stockholders, including individuals, generally may deduct up to 20% of dividends from a REIT, other than capital gain dividends and dividends treated as qualified dividend income. Distributions in excess of earnings and profits generally will first be treated as a non-taxable reduction in the stockholders’ basis in their stock, but not below zero. Distributions in excess of that basis generally will be taxable as a capital gain to stockholders.

However, we cannot make any assurances that we have been organized or have operated in a manner that has satisfied the requirements for qualification as a REIT, or that we will continue to be organized or operate in a manner that will allow us to continue to qualify as a REIT. Qualification as a REIT involves the satisfaction of numerous requirements under highly technical and complex Code provisions, for which there are only limited judicial and administrative interpretations, as well as the determination of various factual matters and circumstances not entirely within our control. Compliance with these tests may limit our ability to engage in certain activities or make certain otherwise attractive investments which may limit our opportunities and strategy. As we expand into new geographies and transactional structures, REIT qualification and our ability to ensure such qualification becomes more complex. For example, in order to qualify as a REIT, at least 95% of our gross income in each year must be derived from qualifying sources, and we must pay distributions to stockholders aggregating annually at least 90% of our taxable income (excluding net capital gains). If we fail to satisfy any of the requirements for qualification as a REIT, we may be subject to certain penalty taxes or, in some circumstances, we may fail to qualify as a REIT. If we were to fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, among other things, we would be required to pay regular U.S. federal corporate income tax on our taxable income; we would not be allowed a deduction for amounts distributed to our stockholders in computing our taxable income; we could be subject to a federal alternative minimum tax and possibly increased state and local taxes; we would be disqualified from electing treatment as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year during which qualification is lost; and we would no longer be required to make distributions to stockholders. Loss of our REIT status would substantially reduce amounts available for investment or distribution to stockholders because of the additional tax liability for the years involved, which could have a material adverse effect on the market price of our capital stock and the value of our debt securities. Even if we qualify for and maintain our REIT status, we may be subject to certain federal, state, local and non-U.S. taxes on our income and property. For example, if we have net income from a prohibited transaction, that income will be subject to a 100% tax. In addition, our taxable REIT subsidiaries are subject to federal, state and, in some cases, non-U.S. taxes at the applicable tax rates on their income and property.

Our outstanding notes and bonds are unsecured; accordingly, we have not pledged any assets as collateral for these or any other obligations. The notes and bonds contain various covenants, including: (i) a limitation on incurrence of any debt which would cause our debt to total adjusted assets ratio to exceed 60%; (ii) a limitation on incurrence of any secured debt which would cause our secured debt to total adjusted assets ratio to exceed 40%; (iii) a limitation on incurrence of any debt which would cause our debt service coverage ratio to be less than 1.5 times; and (iv) the maintenance at all times of total unencumbered assets not less than 150% of our outstanding unsecured debt. As of December 31, 2025, we were in compliance with these covenants. B.

We regularly engage in the process of identifying, analyzing, underwriting and negotiating possible transactions. We cannot provide any assurances that we will be successful in consummating future mergers and acquisitions on favorable terms or that we will realize expected cash yields, integration results, operating efficiencies, cost savings, revenue enhancements, synergies or other benefits. We rely on several resources to assist in underwriting our potential investments and other opportunities, including predictive analytics, which may turn out to be inaccurate. We have historically engaged in, and may again in the future engage in strategic acquisitions of operating businesses, in which case we would be subject to risks related to our ability to successfully underwrite such target's businesses effectively and to combine such target's operations with ours in a manner that permits the combined company to achieve operating efficiencies, cost savings, revenues, synergies or other benefits either in the time frame anticipated or at all. Our inability to consummate acquisitions on such terms, our failure to adequately underwrite and identify risks and obligations when acquiring properties or our failure to realize the intended benefits from acquisitions, could have a significant adverse effect on our business, liquidity, financial position and/or results of operations, including as a result of our incurrence of additional indebtedness and related interest expense and our assumption of unforeseen contingent liabilities in connection with completed acquisitions. We have made and may continue to make acquisitions of properties (including through the use of alternative lease and acquisition structures such as joint ventures, partnerships, funds and other structures) or engage in other revenue-generating businesses that fall outside our historical focus on wholly owned, freestanding, single-tenant, net lease retail locations in the U.S. We may be exposed to a variety of new risks by expanding into new investments, property types (e.g., non-retail businesses), geographies, lease and acquisition structures and clients who engage in non-retail businesses. While we have historically predominantly owned and leased commercial properties under long-term, net lease agreements, as we expand into new verticals, the composition of our lease portfolio may include a higher concentration of alternative lease structures, under which we may be primarily responsible for other expenses and liabilities with respect to the property, including property taxes, insurance and maintenance costs. These risks may be enhanced by our limited experience in managing these new investments or activities, property types, geographies, lease and acquisition structures, clients and the laws and/or culture of non-U.S. geographies." }, { "status": "UNCHANGED", "current_title": "As a property owner, we may be subject to unknown environmental liabilities.", "prior_title": "As a property owner, we may be subject to unknown environmental liabilities.", "current_body": "Investments in real property can create a potential for environmental liability. We could be subject to liability, including strict liability, by virtue of our ownership interest, for environmental contamination.

We can face such liability regardless of our knowledge of the contamination, the timing of the contamination, the cause of the contamination or the party responsible for the contamination of the property. 11 11 11 Table of Contents Table of Contents There may be environmental conditions associated with our properties of which we are unaware. Our portfolio includes properties leased to operators of convenience stores that sell petroleum-based fuels, operators of oil change and tune-up facilities and operators that use chemicals and other waste products. These facilities and some of our other properties use, or may have used in the past, underground lifts or storage tanks for the storage of petroleum-based or waste products, which could create a potential for the release of hazardous substances. Certain of our other properties, including those leased for industrial purposes, may also involve operations or activities that could give rise to environmental liabilities or could have been built using asbestos or other building materials that require owners or operators to undertake special precautions including removal, abatement, training or notices. The presence of hazardous substances on a property may adversely affect our client's ability to continue to operate that property or our ability to lease or sell that property and we may incur substantial remediation costs or third-party liability claims. Although our leases generally require our clients to operate in compliance with all applicable federal, state and local environmental laws, ordinances and regulations, and to indemnify us against any environmental liabilities arising from the clients’ activities on the properties, we could nevertheless be subject to liability, including strict liability, by virtue of our ownership interest. There also can be no assurance that our clients could or would satisfy their indemnification obligations under their leases. Further, we acquire properties with existing leases in place and the indemnities and other lease terms can have different indemnification requirements, including for environmental matters, than what is provided for in our leases that we negotiate directly with clients. While we maintain environmental insurance policies, our insurance could be unavailable or insufficient to address an environmental liability and/or we could be unable to obtain insurance for environmental matters at a reasonable cost or at all. The discovery of environmental liabilities attached to our properties could have an adverse effect on our results of operations, our financial condition or our ability to make distributions to stockholders and to pay the principal of and interest on our debt securities and other indebtedness." }, { "status": "UNCHANGED", "current_title": "Note Covenants", "prior_title": "Note Covenants", "current_body": "The following is a summary of the key financial covenants for our senior unsecured notes, as defined and calculated per the terms of our senior notes and bonds.

Our definition of “Adjusted EBITDAre” is generally consistent with the Nareit definition, other than our adjustment to remove foreign currency and derivative gain and loss and merger, transaction, and other costs, net. We define Adjusted EBITDAre, a non-GAAP financial measure, for the most recent quarter as earnings (net income) before (i) interest expense, (ii) income taxes, (iii) depreciation and amortization, (iv) provisions for impairment, (v) merger, transaction, and other costs, net, (vi) gain on sales of real estate, (vii) foreign currency and derivative gain and loss, net, and (viii) our proportionate share of adjustments from unconsolidated entities and consolidated entities with noncontrolling interests. Our Adjusted EBITDAre may not be comparable to Adjusted EBITDAre reported by other companies or as defined by Nareit, and other companies may interpret or define Adjusted EBITDAre differently than we do. Management believes Adjusted EBITDAre to be a meaningful measure of a REIT’s performance because it provides a view of our operating performance, analyzes our ability to meet interest payment obligations before the effects of income tax, depreciation and amortization expense, provisions for impairment, gain on sales of real estate and other items, as defined above, that affect comparability, including the removal of non-recurring and non-cash items that industry observers believe are less relevant to evaluating the operating performance of a company. In addition, EBITDAre is widely followed by industry analysts, lenders, investors, rating agencies, and others as a means of evaluating the operating performance of business activities prior to servicing debt obligations. Management also believes the use of an Annualized Adjusted EBITDAre metric is meaningful because it represents our current earnings run rate for the period presented. Annualized Adjusted EBITDAre and Annualized Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDAre, as defined below, are also used to determine the vesting of performance share awards granted to executive officers. Annualized Adjusted EBITDAre should be considered along with, but not as an alternative to net income as a measure of our operating performance. We define Annualized Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDAre as Annualized Adjusted EBITDAre, subject to certain adjustments to incorporate Adjusted EBITDAre from investments we acquired or stabilized during the applicable quarter and Adjusted EBITDAre from investments we disposed of during the applicable quarter, and include transaction accounting adjustments in accordance with U.S. GAAP, giving pro forma effect to all transactions as if they occurred at the beginning of the applicable quarter, and adjusted for our pro-rata share. Our calculation includes all adjustments consistent with the requirements to present Adjusted EBITDAre on a pro forma basis in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X. We believe Annualized Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDAre is a useful non-GAAP supplemental measure, as it excludes investments that were no longer owned at the balance sheet date and includes the annualized base rent from investments acquired during the quarter. Management also uses our ratios of Net Debt/Annualized Adjusted EBITDAre and Net Debt/Annualized Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDAre as measures of leverage in assessing our financial performance, which is calculated as net debt (which we define as total debt, excluding deferred financing costs and net discounts, less cash and cash equivalents, at our pro-rata share), divided by Annualized Adjusted EBITDAre and Annualized Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDAre, respectively. 43 43 43 Table of Contents Table of Contents The following is a reconciliation of net income (which we believe is the most comparable U.S. GAAP measure) to Adjusted EBITDAre and Annualized Pro Forma EBITDAre calculations for the periods indicated below (dollars in thousands): Three months ended December 31,2025Net income$301,636 Interest288,199 Income taxes21,800 Depreciation and amortization635,435 Provisions for impairment124,411 Merger, transaction, and other costs, net10,261 Gain on sales of real estate(67,430)Foreign currency and derivative loss, net18,902 Proportionate share of adjustments from unconsolidated entities19,576 Adjustments attributable to noncontrolling interests(12,236)Adjusted EBITDAre$1,340,554 Annualized Adjusted EBITDAre (1)$5,362,216 Annualized Pro Forma Adjustments $51,811 Annualized Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDAre$5,414,027 Total debt per the consolidated balance sheets, excluding deferred financing costs and net discounts$29,116,111 Proportionate share of unconsolidated entities debt, excluding deferred financing costs659,190 Noncontrolling interests share of debt, excluding deferred financing costs(55,637)Less: Pro-Rata Share of cash and cash equivalents (2)(419,402)Net Debt (3)$29,300,262 Net Debt/Annualized Adjusted EBITDAre 5.5xNet Debt/Annualized Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDAre5.4xReconciliation of Consolidated Cash to Pro-Rata Share of Cash and Cash equivalentsCash and cash equivalents per the consolidated balance sheet$434,842 Add: proportionate share of unconsolidated entities cash6,609 Less: adjustments allocable to noncontrolling interests(22,049)Total Pro-Rata Share of cash and cash equivalents$419,402 Adjusted EBITDAre Annualized Adjusted EBITDAre (1) Annualized Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDAre Less: Pro-Rata Share of cash and cash equivalents (2) Net Debt (3) Net Debt/Annualized Adjusted EBITDAre Net Debt/Annualized Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDAre Total Pro-Rata Share of cash and cash equivalents (1) We calculate Annualized Adjusted EBITDAre by multiplying the Adjusted EBITDAre for the applicable quarter by four.

Such risks include, but are not limited to: •When investing in new assets or transaction structures, we will be exposed to the risk that those assets or structures, or the income generated thereby, will affect our ability to meet the requirements to maintain our REIT status, or will subject us to additional regulatory requirements or limitations; •New investment verticals may be outside our core expertise and subject our investments to new and different business risks and exposures; •New investment verticals or transaction structures may be more inherently speculative or carry a higher degree of risk to us than our traditional investment verticals or transaction structures, thereby potentially increasing our overall risk profile and volatility; •Lending and related transaction structures may subject us to new regulatory regimes, more attenuated remedies and recourse, and compliance risk; •Our partners or investors may have been granted certain approval rights over major decisions, or have the ability to appoint persons to governing bodies or the ability for us to compete in certain verticals or industries, or provide for rights of first offer or first refusal to such parties that could adversely impact our operations; •In general and subject to the terms of the applicable governing documents, our partners or investors may request to exit or redeem their investment, and may do so simultaneously, causing the venture or fund to seek capital to satisfy these requirements which may be on less than optimal terms; •If our partners or investors fail to fund their share of any required capital contributions, then we may choose to contribute such capital or the venture or fund may have to raise additional capital or incur indebtedness on less than optimal terms; •Our partners or investors may have economic or other business interests or goals that are inconsistent with our business interests or goals that would affect our ability to operate the venture or fund and adversely impact our consolidated financial position or results of operations; •The venture or fund or other governing agreements may restrict the transfer of an interest in the co-investment venture or fund or in the underlying assets or may otherwise restrict our ability to sell the interest or underlying assets when we desire or on advantageous terms; •Our agreements may contain certain exclusivity provisions or other restrictive covenants that may limit our flexibility to respond to other opportunities or financings or to optimize the terms of other transactions; •Our relationships with our partners or investors are likely to be contractual in nature and may be terminated or dissolved under the terms of the agreements, and in such event, the venture or fund may terminate or we may not continue to invest in or manage the assets underlying such relationships resulting in a decrease in our assets under management and a reduction in fee revenues; and •Disputes between us and our partners or investors may result in litigation or arbitration that would increase our expenses and prevent our officers and directors from focusing their time and effort on our business and result in subjecting the properties owned by the applicable co-investment venture or fund to additional risk. 14 14 14 Table of Contents Table of Contents" }, { "status": "UNCHANGED", "current_title": "14. Derivative Instruments", "prior_title": "13. Derivative Instruments", "current_body": "Derivative Instruments In the normal course of business, our operations are exposed to economic risks from interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. We may enter into derivative financial instruments to offset these underlying economic risks. Derivatives Designated as Hedging Instruments - Cash Flow Hedges We enter into foreign currency forward contracts to sell GBP and buy USD to hedge the foreign currency risk on interest payments on intercompany loans denominated in GBP. There are no amounts excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness for cash flow hedges of foreign exchange risk. We also execute variable-to-fixed interest rate swaps and use interest rate swaption agreements to add stability to interest expense and to manage our exposure to interest rate movements associated with our term loans or forecasted transactions. If it becomes probable that a forecasted transaction will not occur within the specific time period or within an additional two-month period thereafter, any related amounts deferred in AOCI are recognized immediately in earnings. During the years ended December 31, 2025, and 2024, no such amounts were recognized through the caption entitled 'Interest' in our consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. Derivatives Designated as Hedging Instruments - Fair Value Hedges Periodically, we enter into and designate fixed-to-floating interest rate swaps to manage interest rate risk by managing our mix of fixed-rate and variable-rate debt. These swaps involve the receipt of fixed-rate amounts for variable interest rate payments over the life of the swaps without exchange of the underlying principal amount. We also designate some of our cross-currency swaps as fair value hedges as we use them to hedge foreign currency risk associated with changes in spot rates on foreign-denominated intercompany receivables and third-party debt. For these hedging instruments, we have elected to exclude the change in fair value of the cross-currency swaps attributable to the difference between the spot and forward prices from the assessment of hedge effectiveness (the \"excluded component\"). Changes in the fair value of the cross-currency swaps attributable to these excluded components are recorded to other comprehensive income and subsequently recognized in 'Foreign currency and derivative (loss) gain, net' on a systematic and rational basis, as net cash settlements and interest accruals on the respective cross currency swaps occur, over the remaining life of the hedging instruments. Derivatives Designated as Hedging Instruments - Net Investment Hedges To mitigate the foreign currency exchange rate variations associated with our investment in EUR-denominated foreign operations, we may enter into derivative instruments, such as cross-currency swaps that qualify as net investment hedges under the criteria prescribed in accordance with ASC 815-20, Hedging - General. We use the spot method of assessing hedge effectiveness and apply the consistent election to the excluded component by recognizing changes in the fair value of the hedging instruments attributable to the excluded component in the same manner as described above. Any difference between the change in the fair value of the excluded components and the amounts recognized in earnings is reported in other comprehensive income as part of the foreign cumulative translation adjustment. The gain or loss on the portion of the derivative instruments included in the assessment of effectiveness is reported in other comprehensive income as part of the 'Foreign currency translation adjustment' line item, to the extent the relationship is highly effective. If our net investment changes during a reporting period, the hedge relationship will be assessed for whether a de-designation is warranted (only if the hedge notional amount is outside of prescribed tolerance). Further, certain EUR-denominated bonds and borrowings under our revolving credit facilities and term loans may also be designated as, and are effective as, net investment hedges. Changes in the value of such borrowings, related to changes in the spot rates, will be recorded in the same manner as foreign currency translation adjustments. As of December 31, 2025, the total principal amount of foreign currency debt obligations designated as net investment hedges was $148.2 million. Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments We enter into foreign currency exchange swap agreements to reduce the effects of currency exchange rate fluctuations between the USD, our reporting currency, and GBP, EUR, and Polish Zloty. These derivative contracts generally mature within one year and are not designated as hedge instruments for accounting purposes. As the currency exchange swap is not accounted for as a hedging instrument, the change in fair value is recorded in earnings through the caption entitled 'Foreign currency and derivative (loss) gain, net' in our consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.

Changes in law, enforcement priorities, policy and other actions that materially adversely affect our business may be announced with little or no advance notice and we may not be able to effectively mitigate all adverse impacts from such measures or ensure timely compliance. These changes could also expose us to significant fines, government investigations, litigation and reputation harm, all of which could be costly, result in distractions for management, adversely impact our operational results and could alter our ability to execute on our strategic plans. Our business, and the businesses of our clients, also depend on a stable and predictable legal and regulatory framework, including the consistent interpretation, application and enforcement of federal, state and local laws, regulations and policies. The instability and unpredictability caused by weakened institutional oversight and inconsistent regulatory enforcement can introduce legal and operational uncertainty that may hinder our ability to plan, operate and invest effectively and which may negatively impact our ability to rely on regulatory and administrative procedures. In addition, the industries in which our clients operate may be directly adversely affected by inconsistent or abrupt regulatory or legal changes that impact their businesses, such as shifts in commercial regulations, labor laws and policies or sector-specific compliance requirements, which in turn could also have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and our ability to pay the principal of and interest on our debt securities and other indebtedness and to make distributions on our common stock and any outstanding preferred stock. Legal unpredictability could also impede our human capital management. Collectively, these risks could materially adversely affect our business, reputation, results of operations and financial condition. 24 24 24 Table of Contents Table of Contents Item 1B: Unresolved Staff Comments There are no unresolved staff comments. Item 1C: Cybersecurity We maintain a cyber risk management program to identify, assess, manage, mitigate, and respond to cybersecurity threats. We design and assess our program based on the National Institute of Standards and Technology Cybersecurity Framework (NIST CSF) and use the NIST CSF as a guide to help us identify, assess, and manage cybersecurity risks relevant to our business. The program is integrated within our enterprise risk management system and addresses our IT networks and related systems that are essential to the operation of our business. We maintain controls and procedures, including third-party oversight procedures, and cybersecurity training for all employees on an annual basis. We work with third parties that assist us to identify, assess, and manage cybersecurity risks, including professional services firms, consulting firms, threat intelligence service providers, and penetration testing firms. Our cybersecurity program and designated incident response team are comprised of key employees, and third-party information security experts from leading cybersecurity incident response firms, who are responsible for efficiently and effectively responding to cybersecurity incidents. We have established comprehensive incident response and recovery plans and continue to evaluate the effectiveness of those plans. We have not identified risks from known cybersecurity threats, including as a result of any prior cybersecurity incidents, that have materially affected us, including our operations, business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition. We face risks from cybersecurity threats that, if realized, are reasonably likely to materially affect us, including our operations, business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition.

We define diluted AFFO as AFFO adjusted for dilutive noncontrolling interests. The following summarizes our AFFO (in millions, except per share data): Years ended December 31,20252024% ChangeAFFO available to common stockholders$3,885.9$3,621.47.3 %AFFO per common share (1)$4.28$4.192.1 % AFFO available to common stockholders AFFO per common share (1) (1) All per share amounts are presented on a diluted per common share basis. We consider AFFO to be an appropriate supplemental measure of our performance. Most companies in our industry use a similar measurement, but they may use the term “CAD” (for Cash Available for Distribution), “FAD” (for Funds Available for Distribution) or other terms. Our AFFO calculations may not be comparable to AFFO, CAD or FAD reported by other companies, and other companies may interpret or define such terms differently than we do. We believe the non-GAAP financial measure AFFO provides useful information to investors because it is a widely accepted industry measure of the operating performance of real estate companies that is used by industry analysts and investors who look at and compare those companies. In particular, AFFO provides an additional measure to compare the operating performance of different REITs without having to account for differing depreciation assumptions and other unique revenue and expense items which are not pertinent to measuring a particular company’s on-going operating performance. Therefore, we believe that AFFO is an appropriate supplemental performance metric, and that the most appropriate U.S. GAAP performance metric to which AFFO should be reconciled is net income available to common stockholders. Presentation of the information regarding FFO, Normalized FFO, and AFFO is intended to assist the reader in comparing the operating performance of different REITs, although it should be noted that not all REITs calculate FFO, Normalized FFO, and AFFO in the same way, so comparisons with other REITs may not be meaningful. Furthermore, FFO, Normalized FFO, and AFFO are not necessarily indicative of cash flow available to fund cash needs and should not be considered as alternatives to net income as an indication of our performance. FFO, Normalized FFO, and AFFO should not be considered as alternatives to reviewing our cash flows from operating, investing, and financing activities. In addition, FFO, Normalized FFO, and AFFO should not be considered as measures of liquidity, our ability to make cash distributions, or our ability to pay interest payments. 47 47 47 Table of Contents Table of Contents The following is a reconciliation of net income available to common stockholders (which we believe is the most comparable U.S. GAAP measure) to Normalized FFO and AFFO.
