## Exhibit 99.1

**Exhibit 99.1**

**W. P. Carey Announces Year-to-Date Investment Volume Totaling Approximately $1.3 Billion**

*Includes New Investment Volume Totaling $250.8 Million Since Announcing Second Quarter Results*

*Year-to-Date Gross Disposition Proceeds Totaling $875.0 Million Includes $310.0 Million of New Dispositions Since Announcing Second Quarter Results*

**New York, NY – September 4, 2025** – W. P. Carey Inc. (NYSE: WPC) (W. P. Carey or the Company), a leading net lease REIT specializing in corporate sale-leasebacks, build-to-suits and the acquisition of single-tenant net lease properties, today provided the following updates on recent investment and disposition activity.

**Investments** 

W. P. Carey completed additional investments totaling $250.8 million subsequent to its second quarter earnings release, primarily comprising single-tenant industrial properties located in North America and Europe. This activity brings year-to-date investment volume to approximately $1.3 billion.

The Company's full-year investment volume guidance range is currently $1.4 billion to $1.8 billion.

**Dispositions** 

The Company completed additional dispositions with gross proceeds totaling $310.0 million subsequent to its second quarter earnings release, primarily comprising self-storage operating properties. This activity brings year-to-date disposition volume to $875.0 million. Gross proceeds from dispositions of self-storage operating properties now total $460.8 million for the year, which represents approximately half of the Company's self-storage operating portfolio NOI at the start of 2025.

The Company's full-year disposition volume guidance range is currently $900 million to $1.3 billion.

**Jason Fox, Chief Executive Officer and President, W. P. Carey said:** "We continue to demonstrate our ability to source and close deals in the current environment, at cap rates, lease terms, and rent escalations in-line with where we've been investing throughout this year. Given our current strategy of funding investments primarily through accretive sales of non-core assets, this has generated approximately 150 basis points of spread between the average cap rates on our dispositions and new investments. On the strength of our activity year-to-date and our robust pipeline, we see a path towards the high end of our guidance range if we continue executing at these levels. We will review our guidance assumptions when we report third quarter earnings."

**W. P. Carey Inc.** 

W. P. Carey ranks among the largest net lease REITs with a well-diversified portfolio of high-quality, operationally critical commercial real estate, which includes 1,600 net lease properties covering approximately 178 million square feet and a portfolio of 66 self-storage operating properties as of June 30, 2025. With offices in New York, London, Amsterdam and Dallas, the company remains focused on investing primarily in single-tenant, industrial, warehouse and retail properties located in the U.S. and Europe, under long-term net leases with built-in rent escalations.
