1.

Organization and Business

 

 

As used in these consolidated financial statements, unless otherwise indicated, all references to “we,” “us,” “our,” the “Company,” and “Paramount” refer to Paramount Group, Inc., a Maryland corporation, and its consolidated subsidiaries, including Paramount Group Operating Partnership LP (the “Operating Partnership”), a Delaware Limited Partnership. We are a fully-integrated real estate investment trust (“REIT”) focused on owning, operating, managing, acquiring and redeveloping high-quality, Class A office properties in select central business district submarkets of New York City, Washington, D.C. and San Francisco. As of September 30, 2017, our portfolio consisted of 14 Class A office properties aggregating approximately 12.5 million square feet. We conduct our business through, and substantially all of our interests in properties and investments are held by, the Operating Partnership. We are the sole general partner of, and owned approximately 90.6% of, the Operating Partnership as of September 30, 2017.

 

 

2.

Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

 

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Paramount and its consolidated subsidiaries, including the Operating Partnership. All significant inter-company amounts have been eliminated. In our opinion, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and changes in cash flows have been made. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, as filed with the SEC.

 

We have made estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

 

 

Significant Accounting Policies

 

There are no material changes to our significant accounting policies as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.

 

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Impacting Our Financial Statements

 

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, an update to ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. ASU 2016-09 improves the accounting for share-based payments including income tax consequences and the classification of awards as either equity awards or liability awards. ASU 2016-09 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years that begin after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. We adopted the provisions of ASU 2016-09 on January 1, 2017. This adoption did not have any impact on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, an update to ASC Topic 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses. ASU 2016-13 requires measurement and recognition of expected credit losses on financial instruments measured at amortized cost at the end of each reporting period rather than recognizing the credit losses when it is probable that the loss has been incurred in accordance with current guidance. ASU 2016-13 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years that begin after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. We are evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-13 but do not believe the adoption will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

(UNAUDITED)

 

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, an update to ASC Topic 230, Statement of Cash Flows to provide guidance for areas where there is diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-15 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years that begin after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. We adopted the provisions of ASU 2016-15 retrospectively on January 1, 2017. This adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-17, an update to ASC Topic 810, Consolidation. ASU 2016-17 requires a reporting entity to consider only its proportionate indirect interest in the VIE held through a common control party in evaluating whether it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE. Currently, ASU 2015-02 requires the reporting entity to treat the common control party’s interest in the VIE as if the reporting entity held the interest itself.  ASU 2016-17 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years that begin after December 15, 2016. We adopted the provisions of ASU 2016-17 on January 1, 2017. This adoption did not have any impact on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, an update to ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. ASU 2017-09 clarifies the types of changes to the terms and conditions of a share-based payment award that requires modification accounting. ASU 2017-09 does not change the accounting for modification of share-based awards, but clarifies that modification accounting should only be applied if there is a change to the value, vesting condition or award classification and would not be required if the changes are considered non-substantive. ASU 2017-09 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years that begin after December 31, 2017, with early adoption permitted. We will adopt the provisions of ASU 2017-09 on January 1, 2018 and do not believe that the adoption of ASU 2017-09 will have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, an update to ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging. ASU 2017-12 improves transparency and understandability of information by better aligning the financing reporting for hedging relationships with the risk management activities. ASU 2017-12 also simplifies the application of hedge accounting through changes in both the designation and measurement of qualifying hedging relationships. ASU 2017-12 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years that begin after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. We are evaluating the impact of ASU 2017-12 but do not believe the adoption will have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.

 

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Potentially Impacting Our Financial Statements

 

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standard’s Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, an update to ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2014-09, as amended, supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The core principle of this guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration which the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services.  This guidance also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, and can be applied using a full retrospective or modified retrospective approach. We plan to implement ASU 2014-09 on January 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective approach. While we do not believe the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements, it will result in additional disclosures on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, an update to ASC Topic 842, Leases. ASU 2016-02 amends the existing guidance for lease accounting, including requiring lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets.  ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either financing or operating and recording a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term greater than 12 months. ASU 2016-02 requires lessors to account for leases using an approach that is substantially similar to existing guidance for sales-type leases, direct financing leases and operating leases. ASU 2016-02 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years that begin after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. We plan to adopt the provisions of ASU 2016-02 on January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective approach. While we believe that the key changes in ASU 2016-02 relate to the separation of and allocation of consideration to, lease component (rental income) and non-lease components (revenue related to various services we provide), we continue to evaluate the other potential implications that this update will have on our consolidated financial statements.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, an update to ASC Topic 230, Statement of Cash Flows to provide guidance on classification and presentation of changes in restricted cash on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-18 requires that an entity’s reconciliation of the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows to include restricted cash with cash and cash equivalents. ASU 2016-18 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years that begin after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. We will adopt the provisions of ASU 2016-18 on January 1, 2018. This adoption will impact the presentation of our consolidated statements of cash flows, as well as require additional disclosures to reconcile cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash on our consolidated balance sheets to our consolidated statements of cash flows.

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, an update to ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations. ASU 2017-01 narrows the definition of a business and provides a framework for making reasonable judgments about whether a transaction involves an asset or a business. ASU 2017-01 clarifies that when substantially all the fair value of the gross assets acquired (or disposed of) is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, the set is not a business. ASU 2017-01 also requires that a set cannot be considered a business unless it includes, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create output. ASU 2017-01 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years that begin after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted for transactions (i.e., acquisitions or dispositions) that occurred before the issuance date or effective date of the standard if the transactions were not reported in financial statements that have been issued or made available for issuance. We adopted the provisions of ASU 2017-01 on October 1, 2016 and concluded that the acquisition of our One Front Street property in December 2016 and 50 Beale in July 2017 did not meet the definition of a business and therefore were treated as asset acquisitions.

 

In February 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-05, an update to ASC Topic 610, Other Income. ASU 2017-05 clarifies the scope and accounting for derecognition of a nonfinancial asset and eliminates the guidance in ASC 360-20 specific to real estate sales and partial sales. ASU 2017-05 requires an entity that transfers control of a nonfinancial asset to measure any noncontrolling interest it retains (or receives) at fair value. ASU 2017-05 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years that begin after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted for entities concurrently early adopting ASU 2014-09. We plan to adopt the provisions of ASU 2017-05 on January 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective approach. Upon adoption, we expect to record a $7,086,000 adjustment to “investments in unconsolidated joint ventures” relating to the measurement of our consolidated Residential Development Fund’s (“RDF”) retained interest in 75 Howard Street, a fully-entitled residential condominium land parcel (“75 Howard”) at fair value. See Note 5, Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures.

Acquisitions

 

50 Beale Street

 

 

Prior to July 17, 2017, we owned a 3.1% economic interest in 50 Beale Street, a 660,625 square foot Class A office building in San Francisco, California (“50 Beale”) through two real estate funds that owned 42.8% of the property (See Note 6, Real Estate Fund Investments). The remaining 57.2% was owned by third party investors. On July 17, 2017, we and a new joint venture in which we have a 36.6% interest, completed the acquisition of 62.2% of the property from our two funds and the third party investors. Subsequent to the acquisition, we own a direct 13.2% interest in the property and the new joint venture owns the remaining 49.0% interest. Accordingly, our economic interest in the property is 31.1%. We began consolidating the accounts of 50 Beale into our consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition because the property is held through a VIE and we are deemed to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE.

 

The acquisition valued the property at $517,500,000 and included the assumption of $228,000,000 of existing debt that bears interest at a fixed rate of 3.65% and is scheduled to mature in October 2021.

Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures

 

On January 24, 2017, a joint venture in which we have a 5.0% ownership interest, acquired 60 Wall Street, a 1.6 million square foot office tower in Manhattan, for $1.04 billion from certain of our real estate funds and the other investors (see Note 6, Real Estate Fund Investments). In connection with the acquisition, the joint venture completed a $575,000,000 financing of the property. We began accounting for our investment in 60 Wall Street under the equity method, from the date of the acquisition.

 

Prior to May 5, 2017, our consolidated Residential Development Fund (“RDF”), owned 100% of the equity interests in 75 Howard Street, a fully-entitled residential condominium land parcel (“75 Howard”) in San Francisco, California. On May 5, 2017, RDF sold 80.0% of the equity interest in 75 Howard for $88,000,000 and recognized a $23,406,000 net gain on sale, of which our share, net of income taxes, was $1,661,000. Subsequent to the sale, RDF deconsolidated its investment in 75 Howard and began accounting for the remaining 20.0% under the equity method of accounting, however, we continue to consolidate our interest in RDF. We now have a 7.4% ownership interest in RDF; accordingly, our economic interest in 75 Howard is 1.5%.

 

The following tables summarize our investments in unconsolidated joint ventures as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 and income from these investments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.

Prior to June 30, 2017, the basis of our investment in the property was $4,928. On June 30, 2017, we received a $20,000 distribution for our
50.0% share of net proceeds from refinancing the property. Because the distributions resulted in our basis becoming negative and because we have no further obligation to fund additional capital to the venture, in accordance with GAAP, we can no longer recognize our proportionate share of earnings from the venture until our basis is above zero. Accordingly, we are only recognizing income to the extent we receive cash distributions from the venture.

Represents RDF’s ownership interest in the property. We own a 7.4% ownership interest in RDF; accordingly, our economic interest in 75 Howard is 1.5%.

Unconsolidated Real Estate Funds

 

We manage four Property Funds comprised of (i) Paramount Group Real Estate Fund II, L.P. (“Fund II”), (ii) Paramount Group Real Estate Fund III, L.P. (“Fund III”), (iii) Paramount Group Real Estate Fund VII, L.P. (“Fund VII”) and (iv) Paramount Group Real Estate Fund VII-H, L.P. (“Fund VII-H”). We also manage Paramount Group Real Estate Fund VIII L.P. (“Fund VIII”), our Alternative Investment Fund, which invests in mortgage and mezzanine loans and preferred equity investments.

 

As of December 31, 2016, Fund II and Fund III collectively owned a 62.3% interest in 60 Wall Street, a 1.6 million square foot office tower in Manhattan. On January 24, 2017, Fund II and Fund III, together with the other investors that owned the remaining 37.7% interest, sold their interests in 60 Wall Street to a newly formed joint venture, in which we have a 5.0% ownership interest. Accordingly, beginning on January 24, 2017, we began accounting for our investment in 60 Wall Street under the equity method. See Note 5, Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures.

 

We own a 7.2% interest in Fund VII and Fund VII-H that, prior to July 17, 2017, owned 42.8% of 50 Beale. On July 17, 2017, Fund VII and Fund VII-H completed the sale of their interests to us and a new joint venture, in which we have a 36.6% ownership interest (see Note 3, Acquisitions).

Preferred Equity Investments

 

 

As of September 30, 2017, we own a 24.4% interest in PGRESS Equity Holdings L.P., an entity that owns certain preferred equity investments that are consolidated into our consolidated financial statements and summarized in the table below.

 

Preferred equity investments are recorded at cost. We evaluate the collectability of preferred equity investments each quarter in determining whether they are impaired. Preferred equity investments are impaired when changes in events or circumstances, including delinquencies, loss experience and collateral quality, indicate that it is probable we will be unable to collect all amounts due under the contractual terms. If a preferred equity investment is considered impaired, an impairment loss is measured based on the excess of the carrying amount of the investment over the net realizable value of the collateral.  On April 11, 2017, the partnership that owns 2 Herald Square defaulted on the obligation to extend the maturity date or redeem the preferred equity investment, together with accrued and unpaid dividends. We believe, based on current facts and circumstances, that the redemption of our preferred equity investment, is not probable. Accordingly, we have recorded a $19,588,000 valuation allowance, which is included in “interest and other (loss) income” on our consolidated statements of income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017.

Debt

 

 

On January 19, 2017, we completed a $975,000,000 refinancing of One Market Plaza, a 1.6 million square foot Class A office and retail property in San Francisco, California.  The new seven-year interest-only loan matures in February 2024 and has a fixed rate of 4.03%. In connection therewith, we incurred $2,715,000 of prepayment costs, which is included in “loss on early extinguishment of debt” on our consolidated statements of income for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

 

 

We manage our market risk on variable rate debt by entering into interest rate swaps to fix the rate on all or a portion of the debt for varying periods through maturity. These interest rate swaps are accounted for as derivative instruments and, pursuant to ASC Topic 815, are recorded on our consolidated balance sheets at fair value. Changes in the fair value of interest rate swaps are accounted for based on the hedging relationship and their designation and qualification. We have agreements with various derivative counterparties that contain provisions wherein a default on our indebtedness could be deemed a default on our derivative obligations, which would require us to either post collateral up to the fair value of our derivative obligations or settle the obligations for cash.  As of September 30, 2017, the fair value of the derivative obligations with such provisions aggregated $1,138,000.

 

 

Interest Rate Swaps – Designated as Cash Flow Hedges

 

As of September 30, 2017, we have interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional amount of $1.0 billion that are designated as cash flow hedges. We also have entered into a forward starting interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional amount of $400,000,000 to extend the maturity of certain swaps for an additional year. Changes in the fair value of interest rate swaps that are designated as cash flow hedges are recognized in “other comprehensive income (loss)” (outside of earnings). We recognized other comprehensive income of $738,000 and $7,802,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively and other comprehensive income of $729,000 and other comprehensive loss of $33,812,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, from the changes in the fair value of these interest rate swaps. During the next twelve months, we estimate that $3,315,000 of the amounts recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income will be reclassified as an increase to interest expense. The tables below provide additional details on our interest rate swaps that are designated as cash flow hedges.

Noncontrolling interests in consolidated joint ventures consist of equity interests held by third parties in One Market Plaza, 50 Beale and PGRESS Equity Holdings L.P. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, noncontrolling interests in our consolidated joint ventures aggregated $408,035,000 and $253,788,000, respectively.  

 

 

Consolidated Real Estate Fund

 

Noncontrolling interests in our consolidated real estate fund consists of equity interests held by third parties in RDF. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the noncontrolling interest in our consolidated real estate fund aggregated $14,947,000 and $64,793,000, respectively.  

 

 

Operating Partnership

 

Noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership represent common units of the Operating Partnership that are held by third parties, including management, and units issued to management under equity incentive plans. Common units of the Operating Partnership may be tendered for redemption to the Operating Partnership for cash. We, at our option, may assume that obligation and pay the holder either cash or common shares on a one-for-one basis. Since the number of common shares outstanding is equal to the number of common units owned by us, the redemption value of each common unit is equal to the market value of each common share and distributions paid to each common unitholder is equivalent to dividends paid to common stockholders.  As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership on our consolidated balance sheets had a carrying amount of $433,554,000 and $577,361,000, respectively, and a redemption value of $399,644,000 and $551,834,000, respectively.

Variable Interest Entities (“VIEs”)

 

 

In the normal course of business, we are the general partner of various types of investment vehicles, which may be considered VIEs. We may, from time to time, own equity or debt securities through vehicles, each of which are considered variable interests. Our involvement in financing the operations of the VIEs is generally limited to our investments in the entity. We consolidate these entities when we are determined to be the primary beneficiary.

 

 

Consolidated VIEs

 

We are the sole general partner of, and own approximately 90.6% of, the Operating Partnership as of September 30, 2017. The Operating Partnership is considered a VIE and is consolidated in our consolidated financial statements. Since we conduct our business through and substantially all of our interests are held by the Operating Partnership, the assets and liabilities on our consolidated financial statements represent the assets and liabilities of the Operating Partnership. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Operating Partnership held variable interests in the entities owning properties, a real estate fund and preferred equity investments that were determined to be VIEs. The Operating Partnership is required to consolidate its interest in these entities because it is deemed to be the primary beneficiary and has the power to direct the activities of these entities that most significantly affect economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses and rights to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the entity. The assets of these consolidated VIEs may only be used to settle the obligations of the entities and such obligations are secured only by the assets of the entities and are non-recourse to the Operating Partnership or us.  The table below summarizes the assets and liabilities of consolidated VIEs of the Operating Partnership.

Fair Value Measurements

 

 

ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures, defines fair value and establishes a framework for measuring fair value.  The objective of fair value is to determine the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (the exit price).  ASC Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into three levels: Level 1 – quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities; Level 2 – observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted in active markets, but corroborated by market data; and Level 3 – unobservable inputs that are used when little or no market data is available. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs and the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs. In determining fair value, we utilize valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible, as well as consider counterparty credit risk in our assessment of fair value.  Considerable judgment is necessary to interpret Level 2 and 3 inputs in determining the fair value of our financial and non-financial assets and liabilities.  Accordingly, our fair value estimates, which are made at the end of each reporting period, may be different than the amounts that may ultimately be realized upon sale or disposition of these assets or settlement of these liabilities. 

 

 

Financial Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value

 

Financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on our consolidated balance sheets consist of marketable securities (which represent the assets in our deferred compensation plan, for which there is a corresponding liability on our consolidated balance sheets) and interest rate swaps. The tables below aggregate the fair values of these financial assets and liabilities as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, based on their levels in the fair value hierarchy.

Interest Rate Swaps

 

Interest rate swaps are valued by a third-party specialist. The valuation of these interest rate swaps 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 interest rate swaps and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities. The fair values of interest rate swaps are determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash receipts (or payments) and the discounted expected variable cash payments (or receipts). The variable cash payments (or receipts) are based on an expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate curves. Interest rate swaps are classified as Level 2.

Financial Assets and Liabilities Not Measured at Fair Value

 

Financial assets not measured at fair value on our consolidated balance sheets consists of preferred equity investments.  Estimates of the fair value of these investments are determined by the standard practice of modeling the contractual cash flows required under the investment and discounting it back to its present value at the appropriate current risk adjusted interest rate. The preferred equity investments are classified as Level 3.  Financial liabilities not measured at fair value include notes and mortgages payable and the revolving credit facility. Estimates of the fair value of these instruments are determined by the standard practice of modeling the contractual cash flows required under the instrument and discounting them back to their present value at the appropriate current risk adjusted interest rate, which is provided by a third-party specialist. For floating rate debt, we use forward rates derived from observable market yield curves to project the expected cash payments we would be required to make under the instrument. These instruments would be classified as Level 2.

Incentive Compensation

 

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

We account for all stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. As of September 30, 2017, we have 10,369,943 shares available for future grants under the 2014 Equity Incentive Plan (“Plan”), if all awards granted are full value awards, as defined in the Plan.  Stock-based compensation expense was $3,825,000 and $2,583,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and $11,692,000 and $8,766,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Stock-based compensation expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 includes $1,855,000 of expense related to the acceleration of vesting of stock awards in connection with a separation agreement.

 

 

2017 Performance Program

 

On January 30, 2017, the Compensation Committee approved the 2017 Performance Program, a multiyear performance-based long-term equity (“LTE”) compensation program. The purpose of the 2017 Performance Program is to further align the interests of our stockholders with that of management by encouraging our senior officers to create stockholder value in a “pay for performance” structure. Under the 2017 Performance Program, participants may earn awards in the form of Long Term Incentive Plan (“LTIP”) units of our Operating Partnership based on our Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”) over a three-year performance measurement period beginning on January 1, 2017 and continuing through December 31, 2019, on both an absolute basis and relative basis. 25.0% of the award is earned if we outperform a predetermined absolute TSR and the remaining 75.0% is earned if we outperform a predetermined relative TSR. Specifically, participants begin to earn awards under the 2017 Performance Program if our TSR for the performance measurement period equals or exceeds 18.0% on an absolute basis and is in the 30th percentile of the performance of the SNL Office REIT Index constituents on a relative basis, and awards will be fully earned if our TSR for the performance measurement period equals or exceeds 30.0% on an absolute basis and exceeds the 80th percentile of the performance of the SNL Office REIT Index constituents on a relative basis. Participants will not earn any awards under the 2017 Performance Program if our TSR during the performance measurement period does not meet either of these minimum thresholds. The number of LTIP units that are earned if performance is above the minimum thresholds, but below the maximum thresholds, will be determined based on linear interpolation between the percentages earned at the minimum and maximum thresholds. During the performance measurement period, participants will receive per unit distributions equal to one-tenth of the per share dividends otherwise payable to our common stockholders with respect to their LTIP units. If the LTIP units are ultimately earned based on the achievement of the designated performance objectives, participants will receive cash or additional LTIP units based on the additional amount the participants would have received if per unit distributions during the performance measurement periods for the earned LTIP units had equaled per share dividends paid to our common stockholders less the amount of distributions participants actually received during the performance measurement period.

 

If the designated performance objectives are achieved, awards earned under the 2017 Performance Program will also be subject to vesting based on continued employment with us through December 31, 2020, with 50.0% of each award vesting following the conclusion of the performance measurement period, and the remaining 50.0% vesting on December 31, 2020. The Company’s named executive officers, as defined, are required to hold earned awards for an additional one-year following vesting. The fair value of the awards granted under the 2017 Performance Program on the date of the grant was $10,520,000 and is being amortized into expense over the four-year vesting period using a graded vesting attribution method.

Related Party

 

 

Due to Affiliates

 

As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we had an aggregate of $27,299,000 of liabilities that were due to affiliates. These liabilities were comprised of a $24,500,000 note payable to CNBB-RDF Holdings, LP, which is an entity partially owned by Katharina Otto-Bernstein (a member of our Board of Directors), and a $2,799,000 note payable to a different entity owned by members of the Otto Family, both of which were made in lieu of certain cash distributions prior to the completion of our initial public offering. The notes, which bore interest at a fixed rate of 0.50%, were due in October 2017. We amended the agreements to extend the maturity of these notes to November 2018. The notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 1.40% during the extended term. For the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, we recognized $34,000 and $43,000, respectively, of interest expense and for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, we recognized $103,000 and $112,000, respectively, of interest expense in connection with these notes.

 

 

 Management Agreements

 

We provide property management, leasing and other related services to certain properties owned by members of the Otto Family. We recognized an aggregate of $207,000 and $195,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and $619,000 and $594,000, for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, of fee income, in connection with these agreements, which is included as a component of “fee and other income” on our consolidated statements of income.

We have an agreement with HTC, a licensed broker in Germany, to supervise selling efforts for our private equity real estate funds (or investments in feeder vehicles for these funds) to investors in Germany, including distribution of securitized notes of a feeder vehicle for Fund VIII. Pursuant to this agreement, we have agreed to pay HTC for the costs incurred to sell investments in this feeder vehicle, which primarily consist of commissions paid to third party agents, and other incremental costs incurred by HTC as a result of the engagement, plus, in each case, a mark-up of 10%. HTC is 100% owned by Albert Behler, our Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President. For the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, we incurred $50,000 and $137,000 of expense, respectively, and $220,000 and $694,000, respectively, for the nine months ended in September 30, 2017 and 2016, in connection with these agreements, which is included as a component of “transaction related costs” on our consolidated statements of income.

Mannheim Trust

 

Dr. Martin Bussmann (a member of our Board of Directors) is also a trustee and a director of Mannheim Trust, a subsidiary of which leases office space at 712 Fifth Avenue, our 50.0% owned unconsolidated joint venture. The Mannheim Trust is for the benefit of Dr. Bussmann’s children. Prior to December 5, 2016, the Mannheim Trust leased 6,790 square feet. On December 5, 2016, the joint venture entered into a new lease agreement for 5,593 square feet, which became effective in January 2017. The new lease expires in April 2023. For the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, we recognized $96,000 and $101,000, respectively, and $274,000 and $305,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, for our share of rental income from this lease.

Commitments and Contingencies

 

 

Insurance

 

We carry commercial general liability coverage on our properties, with limits of liability customary within the industry. Similarly, we are insured against the risk of direct and indirect physical damage to our properties including coverage for the perils such as floods, earthquakes and windstorms. Our policies also cover the loss of rental income during an estimated reconstruction period. Our policies reflect limits and deductibles customary in the industry and specific to the buildings and portfolio. We also obtain title insurance policies when acquiring new properties. We currently have coverage for losses incurred in connection with both domestic and foreign terrorist-related activities. While we do carry commercial general liability insurance, property insurance and terrorism insurance with respect to our properties, these policies include limits and terms we consider commercially reasonable. In addition, there are certain losses (including, but not limited to, losses arising from known environmental conditions or acts of war) that are not insured, in full or in part, because they are either uninsurable or the cost of insurance makes it, in our belief, economically impractical to maintain such coverage. Should an uninsured loss arise against us, we would be required to use our own funds to resolve the issue, including litigation costs. We believe the policy specifications and insured limits are adequate given the relative risk of loss, the cost of the coverage and industry practice and, in consultation with our insurance advisors, we believe the properties in our portfolio are adequately insured.

 

 

Other Commitments and Contingencies

 

We are a party to various claims and routine litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. Some of these claims or others to which we may be subject from time to time, including claims arising specifically from the formation transactions, in connection with our initial public offering, may result in defense costs, settlements, fines or judgments against us, some of which are not, or cannot be, covered by insurance. Payment of any such costs, settlements, fines or judgments that are not insured could have an adverse impact on our financial position and results of operations. Should any litigation arise in connection with the formation transactions, we would contest it vigorously. In addition, certain litigation or the resolution of certain litigation may affect the availability or cost of some of our insurance coverage, which could adversely impact our results of operations and cash flow, expose us to increased risks that would be uninsured, and/or adversely impact our ability to attract officers and directors.

 

The terms of our mortgage debt and certain side letters in place include certain restrictions and covenants which may limit, among other things, certain investments, the incurrence of additional indebtedness and liens and the disposition or other transfer of assets and interests in the borrower and other credit parties, and require compliance with certain debt yield, debt service coverage and loan to value ratios. In addition, our revolving credit facility contains representations, warranties, covenants, other agreements and events of default customary for agreements of this type with comparable companies. As of September 30, 2017, we believe we are in compliance with all of our covenants.

 

 

718 Fifth Avenue - Put Right

 

Prior to the formation transactions, an affiliate of our predecessor owned a 25.0% interest in 718 Fifth Avenue, a five-story building containing 19,050 square feet of prime retail space that is located on the southwest corner of 56th Street and Fifth Avenue in New York, (based on its 50.0% interest in a joint venture that held a 50.0% tenancy-in-common interest in the property). Prior to the completion of the formation transactions, this interest was sold to its partner in the 718 Fifth Avenue joint venture, who is also our partner in the joint venture that owns 712 Fifth Avenue, New York, New York. In connection with this sale, we granted our joint venture partner a put right, pursuant to which the 712 Fifth Avenue joint venture would be required to purchase the entire direct or indirect interests held by our joint venture partner or its affiliates in 718 Fifth Avenue at a purchase price equal to the fair market value of such interests. The put right may be exercised at any time after September 10, 2018 with 12 months written notice and the actual purchase occurring no earlier than September 10, 2019. If the put right is exercised and the 712 Fifth Avenue joint venture acquires the 50.0% tenancy-in-common interest in the property that will be held by our joint venture partner following the sale of its interest to our joint venture partner, we will own a 25.0% interest in 718 Fifth Avenue.

Net Operating Income (“NOI”) is used to measure the operating performance of our properties. NOI consists of property-related revenue (which includes rental income, tenant reimbursement income and certain other income) less operating expenses (which includes building expenses such as cleaning, security, repairs and maintenance, utilities, property administration and real estate taxes). We use NOI internally as a performance measure and believe it provides useful information to investors regarding our financial condition and results of operations because it reflects only those income and expense items that are incurred at the property level. Other real estate companies may use different methodologies for calculating NOI and, accordingly, our presentation of NOI may not be comparable to other real estate companies.

ITEM 2.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements, including the related notes included therein.

 

Forward-Looking Statements

We make statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that are considered “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, which are usually identified by the use of words such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends,” “may,” “plans,” “projects,” “seeks,” “should,” “will,” and variations of such words or similar expressions. We intend these forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and are including this statement for purposes of complying with those safe harbor provisions. These forward-looking statements reflect our current views about our plans, intentions, expectations, strategies and prospects, which are based on the information currently available to us and on assumptions we have made. Although we believe that our plans, intentions, expectations, strategies and prospects as reflected in or suggested by those forward-looking statements are reasonable, we can give no assurance that the plans, intentions, expectations or strategies will be attained or achieved. Furthermore, actual results may differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements and will be affected by a variety of risks and factors that are beyond our control including, without limitation:

 

 

unfavorable market and economic conditions in the United States and globally and in New York City, Washington, D.C. and San Francisco;  

 

risks associated with our high concentrations of properties in New York City, Washington, D.C. and San Francisco;  

 

risks associated with ownership of real estate;  

 

decreased rental rates or increased vacancy rates;  

 

the risk we may lose a major tenant;  

 

limited ability to dispose of assets because of the relative illiquidity of real estate investments;  

 

intense competition in the real estate market that may limit our ability to acquire attractive investment opportunities and increase the costs of those opportunities;  

 

insufficient amounts of insurance;  

 

uncertainties and risks related to adverse weather conditions, natural disasters and climate change;  

 

risks associated with actual or threatened terrorist attacks;  

 

exposure to liability relating to environmental and health and safety matters;  

 

high costs associated with compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act;  

 

failure of acquisitions to yield anticipated results;  

 

risks associated with real estate activity through our joint ventures and private equity real estate funds;  

 

general volatility of the capital and credit markets and the market price of our common stock;  

 

exposure to litigation or other claims;  

 

loss of key personnel;  

 

risks associated with security breaches through cyber attacks or cyber intrusions and other significant disruptions of our information technology (IT) networks and related systems;  

 

risks associated with our substantial indebtedness;  

 

failure to refinance current or future indebtedness on favorable terms, or at all;  

 

failure to meet the restrictive covenants and requirements in our existing debt agreements;  

32


 

 

fluctuations in interest rates and increased costs to refinance or issue new debt;  

 

risks associated with variable rate debt, derivatives or hedging activity;

 

risks associated with future sales of our common stock by our continuing investors or the perception that our continuing investors intend to sell substantially all of the shares of our common stock that they hold;  

 

risks associated with the market for our common stock;  

 

failure to qualify as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”);  

 

compliance with REIT requirements, which may cause us to forgo otherwise attractive opportunities or liquidate certain of our investments; or  

 

any of the other risks included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, including those set forth in Item 1A entitled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.

Accordingly, there is no assurance that our expectations will be realized. Except as otherwise required by the U.S. federal securities laws, we disclaim any obligations or undertaking to publicly release any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statement contained herein (or elsewhere) to reflect any change in our expectations with regard thereto or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based. The reader should review carefully our consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto, as well as Item 1A entitled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.

 

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

There are no material changes to our critical accounting policies disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.

 

 

Recently Issued Accounting Literature

 

A summary of our recently issued accounting literature and their potential impact on our consolidated financial statements, if any, are included in Note 2, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies, to our consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Business Overview

 

We are a fully-integrated REIT focused on owning, operating, managing, acquiring and redeveloping high-quality, Class A office properties in select central business district submarkets of New York City, Washington, D.C. and San Francisco. We conduct our business through, and substantially all of our interests are held by, Paramount Group Operating Partnership LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”). We are the sole general partner of, and owned approximately 90.6% of the Operating Partnership as of September 30, 2017.

 

 

Acquisitions

 

On January 24, 2017, a joint venture, in which we have a 5.0% ownership interest, acquired 60 Wall Street, a 1.6 million square foot office tower in Manhattan, for $1.04 billion. In connection with the acquisition, the joint venture completed a $575,000,000 financing of the property.

 

Prior to July 17, 2017, we owned a 3.1% economic interest in 50 Beale Street, a 660,625 square foot Class A office building in San Francisco, California (“50 Beale”) through two real estate funds that owned 42.8% of the property. The remaining 57.2% was owned by third party investors. On July 17, 2017, we and a new joint venture in which we have a 36.6% interest, completed the acquisition of 62.2% of the property from our two funds and the third party investors. Subsequent to the acquisition, we own a direct 13.2% interest in the property and the new joint venture owns the remaining 49.0% interest. Accordingly, our economic interest in the property is 31.1%. The acquisition valued the property at $517,500,000 and included the assumption of $228,000,000 of existing debt that bears interest at a fixed rate of 3.65% and is scheduled to mature in October 2021.

 

 

Dispositions

 

On May 3, 2017, we completed the sale of Waterview, a 636,768 square foot, Class A office building in Rosslyn, Virginia for $460,000,000 and recognized a net gain of $110,583,000.

 

Prior to May 5, 2017, our consolidated Residential Development Fund (“RDF”), owned 100% of the equity interests in 75 Howard Street, a fully-entitled residential condominium land parcel (“75 Howard”) in San Francisco, California. On May 5, 2017, RDF sold 80.0% of the equity interest in 75 Howard for $88,000,000 and recognized a $23,406,000 net gain on sale, of which our share, net of income taxes, was $1,661,000. Subsequent to the sale, RDF deconsolidated its investment in 75 Howard and began accounting for the remaining 20.0% under the equity method of accounting, however, we continue to consolidate our interest in RDF. We now have a 7.4% ownership interest in RDF; accordingly, our economic interest in 75 Howard is 1.5%.

 

 

Financings

 

On January 19, 2017, we completed a $975,000,000 refinancing of One Market Plaza, a 1.6 million square foot Class A office and retail property in San Francisco, California. The new seven-year interest-only loan matures in February 2024 and has a fixed rate of 4.03%. We retained $23,470,000 for our 49.0% share of net proceeds, after the repayment of the existing loan, closing costs and required reserves.

 

On May 3, 2017, we used the net proceeds from the Waterview sale to repay the $200,000,000 outstanding under our revolving credit facility, the $87,179,000 loan on 1899 Pennsylvania Avenue, and the $84,000,000 loan on Liberty Place.

 

On June 13, 2017, we completed a $300,000,000 refinancing of 712 Fifth Avenue, a 543,386 square foot Class A office and retail building located in the Plaza District of New York. The new 10-year interest-only loan matures in July 2027 and has a fixed rate of 3.39%. The net proceeds from the refinancing were used to repay the existing $246,500,000 loan bearing interest at 4.41% and was scheduled to mature in March 2018. We received $20,000,000 for our 50.0% share of net proceeds, after the repayment of the existing loan, closing costs and required reserves.

Leasing Results - Three Months Ended September 30, 2017

 

In the three months ended September 30, 2017, we leased 369,136 square feet, of which our share was 356,413 square feet that was leased at a weighted average initial rent of $80.98 per square foot. This leasing activity, partially offset by lease expirations during the three months and including the impact of the acquisition of 50 Beale in July 2017 (a 78.2% leased asset), increased our leased occupancy by 140 basis points to 92.3% at September 30, 2017 from 90.9% at June 30, 2017. Our same store leased occupancy (properties owned by us during both reporting periods) increased by 170 basis points to 92.6% at September 30, 2017 from 90.9% at June 30, 2017. Of the 369,136 square feet leased in the three months, 163,298 square feet represented our share of second generation space (space that had been vacant for less than twelve months) for which we achieved rental rate increases of 9.5% on a GAAP basis and 9.8% on a cash basis. The weighted average lease term for leases signed during the three months was 10.8 years and weighted average tenant improvements and leasing commissions on these leases were $9.77 per square foot per annum, or 12.1% of initial rent.

 

 

New York:

 

In the three months ended September 30, 2017, we leased 305,351 square feet in our New York portfolio, of which our share was 294,377 square feet that was leased at a weighted average initial rent of $82.84 per square foot. This leasing activity, partially offset by lease expirations during the three months, increased our leased occupancy and same store leased occupancy by 200 basis points to 90.9% at September 30, 2017 from 88.9% at June 30, 2017. Of the 305,351 square feet leased in the three months, 109,008 square feet represented our share of second generation space for which rental rates increased by 12.6% on a GAAP basis and 1.3% on a cash basis. The weighted average lease term for leases signed during the three months was 11.7 years and weighted average tenant improvements and leasing commissions on these leases were $9.40 per square foot per annum, or 11.4% of initial rent.

 

 

Washington, D.C.:

 

In the three months ended September 30, 2017, we leased 7,070 square feet of previously vacant space in our Washington, D.C. portfolio, at a weighted average initial rent of $74.53 per square foot. This leasing activity increased our leased occupancy and same store leased occupancy by 90 basis points to 95.5% at September 30, 2017 from 94.6% at June 30, 2017. The weighted average lease term for leases signed during the three months was 5.5 years and weighted average tenant improvements and leasing commissions on these leases were $4.78 per square foot per annum, or 6.4% of initial rent.

 

 

San Francisco:

 

In the three months ended September 30, 2017, we leased 56,715 square feet in our San Francisco portfolio, of which our share was 54,966 square feet that was leased at a weighted average initial rent of $71.70 per square foot. Notwithstanding this leasing activity, which was partially offset by lease expirations during the three months, our leased occupancy decreased by 210 basis points to 96.1% at September 30, 2017 from 98.2% at June 30, 2017 due to our acquisition of 50 Beale in July 2017 (a 78.2% leased asset). Our same store leased occupancy (which excludes 50 Beale) increased by 40 basis points to 98.6% at September 30, 2017 from 98.2% at June 30, 2017. Of the 56,715 square feet leased in the three months, 54,290 square feet represented our share of second generation space for which we achieved rental rate increases of 2.8% on GAAP basis and 39.0% on a cash basis. The weighted average lease term for leases signed during the year was 7.1 years and weighted average tenant improvements and leasing commissions on these leases were $13.53 per square foot per annum, or 18.9% of initial rent.

Leasing Results - Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017

 

In the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we leased 946,880 square feet, of which our share was 859,432 square feet that was leased at a weighted average initial rent of $78.50 per square foot. Notwithstanding this leasing activity, our leased occupancy decreased by 40 basis points in the nine months to 92.3% at September 30, 2017 from 92.7% at December 31, 2016. This decrease was primarily attributable to our acquisition of 50 Beale in July 2017 (a 78.2% leased asset) and the sale of Waterview in May 2017 (a 98.7% leased asset). Our same store leased occupancy (which excludes 50 Beale and Waterview) increased by 20 basis points to 92.5% from 92.3% at December 31, 2016. Of the 946,880 square feet leased in the nine months, 594,418 square feet represented our share of second generation space for which we achieved rental rate increases of 11.3% on a GAAP basis and 16.1% on a cash basis. The weighted average lease term for leases signed during the nine months was 9.4 years and weighted average tenant improvements and leasing commissions on these leases were $9.23 per square foot per annum, or 11.8% of initial rent.

 

 

New York:

 

In the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we leased 524,378 square feet in our New York portfolio, of which our share was 498,610 square feet that was leased at a weighted average initial rent of $80.77 per square foot. This leasing activity, offset by lease expirations during the nine months, increased our leased occupancy by 20 basis points to 90.9% at September 30, 2017 from 90.7% at December 31, 2016. Our same store leased occupancy increased by 10 basis points to 90.8% from 90.7% at December 31, 2016. Of the 524,378 square feet leased in the nine months, 257,631 square feet represented our share of second generation space for which rental rates increased by 4.9% on a GAAP basis and decreased by 0.5% on a cash basis. The weighted average lease term for leases signed during the nine months was 10.5 years and weighted average tenant improvements and leasing commissions on these leases were $9.59 per square foot per annum, or 11.9% of initial rent.

 

 

Washington, D.C.:

 

In the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we leased 19,602 square feet of previously vacant space in our Washington, D.C. portfolio, at a weighted average initial rent of $70.95 per square foot. Notwithstanding this leasing activity, our leased occupancy remained unchanged at 95.5% at September 30, 2017 from December 31, 2016 due to the sale of Waterview (a 98.7% leased asset) in May 2017. Same store leased occupancy, which excludes Waterview, increased by 220 basis points to 95.5% from 93.3% at December 31, 2016. The weighted average lease term for leases signed during the nine months was 8.3 years and weighted average tenant improvements and leasing commissions on these leases were $7.85 per square foot per annum, or 11.1% of initial rent.

 

 

San Francisco:

 

In the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we leased 402,900 square feet in our San Francisco portfolio, of which our share was 341,220 square feet that was leased at a weighted average initial rent of $75.62 per square foot. Notwithstanding this leasing activity, our leased occupancy decreased by 290 basis points to 96.1% at September 30, 2017 from 99.0% at December 31, 2016 due to expiration of leases during the nine months and the acquisition of 50 Beale in July 2017 (a 78.2% leased asset). Excluding 50 Beale, same store leased occupancy decreased by 40 basis points to 98.6% from 99.0% at December 31, 2016. Of the 402,900 square feet leased during the year, 336,787 square feet represented our share of second generation space for which we achieved rental rate increases of 17.1% on GAAP basis and 34.6% on a cash basis. The weighted average lease term for leases signed during the year was 7.9 years and weighted average tenant improvements and leasing commissions on these leases were $8.61 per square foot per annum, or 11.4% of initial rent.

Financial Results - Three Months Ended September 30, 2017 and 2016

 

Net Loss, FFO and Core FFO

 

Net loss attributable to common stockholders was $10,214,000, or $0.04 per diluted share, for the three months ended September 30, 2017, compared to $139,000, or $0.00 per diluted share, for the three months ended September 30, 2016. Funds from Operations (“FFO”) attributable to common stockholders was $43,530,000, or $0.18 per diluted share, for the three months ended September 30, 2017, compared to $50,615,000, or $0.23 per diluted share, for the three months ended September 30, 2016. FFO attributable to common stockholders for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 includes the impact of non-core items, which are listed in the table on page 63. The aggregate of these items, net of amounts attributable to noncontrolling interests, decreased FFO attributable to common stockholders for the three months ended September 30, 2017 by $8,839,000, or $0.04 per diluted share, and increased FFO attributable to common stockholders for the three months ended September 30, 2016 by $5,379,000, or $0.02 per diluted share. Core Funds from Operations (“Core FFO”) attributable to common stockholders, which excludes the impact of the non-core items listed on page 63, was $52,369,000 and $45,236,000, or $0.22 and $0.21 per diluted share, for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Prior to June 30, 2017, the basis of our investment in the property was $4,928. On June 30, 2017, we received a $20,000 distribution for our 50.0% share of net proceeds from refinancing the property. Because the distributions resulted in our basis becoming negative and because we have no further obligation to fund additional capital to the venture, in accordance with GAAP, we can no longer recognize our proportionate share of earnings from the venture until our basis is above zero.  Accordingly, we are only recognizing income to the extent we receive cash distributions from the venture.

Because the distributions resulted in our basis becoming negative and because we have no further obligation to fund additional capital to the venture, in accordance with GAAP, we can no longer recognize our proportionate share of earnings from the venture until our basis is above zero.  Accordingly, we are only recognizing income to the extent we receive cash distributions from the venture.

This decrease was primarily due to (i) $22,219,000 of lower unrealized gains in 2017 relating to swaps aggregating $840,000,000 on One Market Plaza that were settled upon the refinancing in January 2017, (ii) $4,020,000 of unrealized gains in 2016 relating to swaps aggregating $162,000,000 on 900 Third Avenue that were settled upon the repayment in October 2016 and (iii) $1,620,000 of unrealized gains in 2016 relating to swaps aggregating $237,600,000 on 31 West 52nd Street that were settled upon the refinancing in May 2016.

This increase resulted from higher income subject to allocation to the unitholders of the Operating Partnership for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

 

Liquidity

 

Our primary sources of liquidity include existing cash balances, cash flow from operations and borrowings available under our revolving credit facility. We expect that these sources will provide adequate liquidity over the next 12 months for all anticipated needs, including scheduled principal and interest payments on our outstanding indebtedness, existing and anticipated capital improvements, the cost of securing new and renewal leases, dividends to stockholders and distributions to unitholders, and all other capital needs related to the operations of our business. We anticipate that our long-term needs including debt maturities and the acquisition of additional properties will be funded by operating cash flow, mortgage financings and/or re-financings, the issuance of long-term debt or equity and cash on hand.

 

Although we may be able to anticipate and plan for certain of our liquidity needs, unexpected increases in uses of cash that are beyond our control and which affect our financial condition and results of operations may arise, or our sources of liquidity may be fewer than, and the funds available from such sources may be less than, anticipated or required.

 

As of September 30, 2017, we had $1.017 billion of liquidity comprised of $185,028,000 of cash and cash equivalents, $32,320,000 of restricted cash and $800,000,000 of borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility. As of September 30, 2017, our outstanding consolidated debt (including amounts outstanding under our revolving credit facility) aggregated $3.583 billion.  None of our debt matures until 2021. We may refinance our maturing debt when it comes due or refinance or repay it early depending on prevailing market conditions, liquidity requirements and other factors. The amounts involved in connection with these transactions could be material to our consolidated financial statements.

 

 

Dividend Policy

 

On September 15, 2017, we declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.095 per share of common stock for the third quarter ending September 30, 2017, which was paid on October 13, 2017 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on September 29, 2017. This dividend policy, if continued, would require us to pay out approximately $25,211,000 each quarter to common stockholders and unitholders.

 

 

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

As of September 30, 2017, our unconsolidated joint ventures had $897,535,000 of outstanding indebtedness, of which our share was $180,949,000. We do not guarantee the indebtedness of unconsolidated joint ventures other than providing customary environmental indemnities and guarantees of specified non-recourse carveouts relating to specified covenants and representations; however, we may elect to fund additional capital to a joint venture through equity contributions (generally on a basis proportionate to our ownership interests), advances or partner loans in order to enable the joint venture to repay this indebtedness upon maturity.

 

Stock Repurchase Program

 

On August 1, 2017, our Board of Directors approved the repurchase of up to $200,000,000 of our common stock from time to time, in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions.  The amount and the timing of repurchases, if any, will depend on a number of factors including the price and availability of our shares, trading volume and general market conditions. The stock repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time.


52


 

 

Insurance

 

We carry commercial general liability coverage on our properties, with limits of liability customary within the industry. Similarly, we are insured against the risk of direct and indirect physical damage to our properties including coverage for the perils such as floods, earthquakes and windstorms. Our policies also cover the loss of rental income during an estimated reconstruction period. Our policies reflect limits and deductibles customary in the industry and specific to the buildings and portfolio. We also obtain title insurance policies when acquiring new properties. We currently have coverage for losses incurred in connection with both domestic and foreign terrorist-related activities. While we do carry commercial general liability insurance, property insurance and terrorism insurance with respect to our properties, these policies include limits and terms we consider commercially reasonable. In addition, there are certain losses (including, but not limited to, losses arising from known environmental conditions or acts of war) that are not insured, in full or in part, because they are either uninsurable or the cost of insurance makes it, in our belief, economically impractical to maintain such coverage. Should an uninsured loss arise against us, we would be required to use our own funds to resolve the issue, including litigation costs. We believe the policy specifications and insured limits are adequate given the relative risk of loss, the cost of the coverage and industry practice and, in consultation with our insurance advisors, we believe the properties in our portfolio are adequately insured.

 

 

Other Commitments and Contingencies

 

We are a party to various claims and routine litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. Some of these claims or others to which we may be subject from time to time, including claims arising specifically from the formation transactions, in connection with our initial public offering, may result in defense costs, settlements, fines or judgments against us, some of which are not, or cannot be, covered by insurance. Payment of any such costs, settlements, fines or judgments that are not insured could have an adverse impact on our financial position and results of operations. Should any litigation arise in connection with the formation transactions, we would contest it vigorously. In addition, certain litigation or the resolution of certain litigation may affect the availability or cost of some of our insurance coverage, which could adversely impact our results of operations and cash flow, expose us to increased risks that would be uninsured, and/or adversely impact our ability to attract officers and directors.

 

The terms of our mortgage debt and certain side letters in place include certain restrictions and covenants which may limit, among other things, certain investments, the incurrence of additional indebtedness and liens and the disposition or other transfer of assets and interests in the borrower and other credit parties, and require compliance with certain debt yield, debt service coverage and loan to value ratios. In addition, our revolving credit facility contains representations, warranties, covenants, other agreements and events of default customary for agreements of this type with comparable companies. As of September 30, 2017, we believe we are in compliance with all of our covenants.

 

 

Inflation

 

Substantially all of our leases provide for separate real estate tax and operating expense escalations. In addition, many of the leases provide for fixed base rent increases. We believe inflationary increases in expenses may be at least partially offset by the contractual rent increases and expense escalations described above. We do not believe inflation has had a material impact on our historical financial position or results of operations.

Nine months ended September 30, 2017 – We used $398,851,000 of cash for financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, primarily due to (i) $1,044,821,000 for repayments of notes and mortgages payable and $7,877,000 for loss on early extinguishment of debt, primarily for the early repayments of One Market Plaza, 1899 Pennsylvania Avenue and Liberty Place loans, (ii) $290,000,000 for repayments of the amounts borrowed under the revolving credit facility, (iii) $115,549,000 for distributions to noncontrolling interests, (iv) 75,569,000 for dividends and distributions paid to common stockholders and unitholders, (v) $19,425,000 for the settlement of swap liabilities, and (vi) $7,344,000 for the payment of debt issuance costs, partially offset by (vii) $991,556,000 of proceeds from notes and mortgages payable, primarily from the refinancing of One Market Plaza, (viii) $100,777,000 of contributions from noncontrolling interests, primarily from the acquisition of 50 Beale, (ix) $60,000,000 of borrowings under the revolving credit facility and (x) $9,555,000 from the refund of transfer taxes.

 

Nine months ended September 30, 2016 – We generated $24,385,000 of cash from financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, primarily from (i) $509,578,000 of proceeds from notes and mortgages payable, primarily from the refinancing of 31 West 52nd Street and (ii) $110,000,000 of borrowings under the revolving credit facility, partially offset by (iii) $414,564,000 of repayments of notes and mortgages payable, primarily for the repayment of 31 West 52nd Street loan, (iv) $80,000,000 of repayments of the amounts borrowed under the revolving credit facility, (v) $75,365,000 of dividends and distributions paid to common stockholders and unitholders, (vi) $16,040,000 for the settlement of swap liabilities and (vii) $6,532,000 for the payment of debt issuance costs.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

We use and present NOI, Cash NOI, FFO and Core FFO, as supplemental measures of our performance. The summary below describes our use of these measures, provides information regarding why we believe these measures are meaningful supplemental measures of our performance and reconciles these measures from net income or loss, the most directly comparable GAAP measure.

 

NOI

 

We use NOI to measure the operating performance of our properties.  NOI consists of property-related revenue (which includes rental income, tenant reimbursement income and certain other income) less operating expenses (which includes building expenses such as cleaning, security, repairs and maintenance, utilities, property administration and real estate taxes). We also present Cash NOI, which deducts from NOI, straight-line rent adjustments and the amortization of above and below-market leases, including our share of such adjustments of unconsolidated joint ventures. In addition, we present our share of NOI and Cash NOI, which represents our share of NOI and Cash NOI of consolidated and unconsolidated joint ventures, based on our percentage ownership in the underlying assets. We use these metrics internally as performance measures and believe they provide useful information to investors regarding our financial condition and results of operations because they reflect only those income and expense items that are incurred at the property level. Other real estate companies may use different methodologies for calculating NOI and Cash NOI, and accordingly, our presentation of NOI and Cash NOI may not be comparable to other real estate companies.

 

The following tables present reconciliations of net (loss) income to NOI and Cash NOI for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.

Same Store NOI

 

The tables below set forth the reconciliations of our share of NOI to Same Store NOI and Same Store Cash NOI for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016. These metrics are used to measure the operating performance of our properties that were owned by us in a similar manner during both the current and prior reporting periods, and represents our share of Same Store NOI and Same Store Cash NOI from consolidated and unconsolidated joint ventures based on our percentage ownership in the underlying assets.  Same Store Cash NOI excludes the effect of non-cash items such as the straight-lining of rental revenue and the amortization of above and below-market leases.

FFO and Core FFO

 

FFO is a supplemental measure of our performance. We present FFO in accordance with the definition adopted by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”). NAREIT defines FFO as GAAP net income or loss adjusted to exclude net gains from sales of depreciated real estate assets, impairment losses on depreciable real estate and depreciation and amortization expense from real estate assets, including our share of such adjustments of unconsolidated joint ventures. FFO is commonly used in the real estate industry to assist investors and analysts in comparing results of real estate companies because it excludes the effect of real estate depreciation and amortization and net gains on sales, which are based on historical costs and implicitly assume that the value of real estate diminishes predictably over time, rather than fluctuating based on existing market conditions. In addition, we present Core FFO as an alternative measure of our operating performance, which adjusts FFO for certain other items that we believe enhance the comparability of our FFO across periods. Core FFO, when applicable, excludes the impact of certain items, including, transaction related costs, realized and unrealized gain or losses on real estate fund investments, unrealized gains or losses on interest rate swaps, severance costs and loss on early extinguishment of debt, in order to reflect the Core FFO of our real estate portfolio and operations.  In future periods, we may also exclude other items from Core FFO that we believe may help investors compare our results.

FFO and Core FFO are presented as supplemental financial measures and do not fully represent our operating performance. Other REITs may use different methodologies for calculating FFO and Core FFO or use other definitions of FFO and Core FFO and, accordingly, our presentation of these measures may not be comparable to other real estate companies. Neither FFO nor Core FFO is intended to be a measure of cash flow or liquidity. Please refer to our consolidated financial statements, prepared in accordance with GAAP, for purposes of evaluating our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

ITEM 3.QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

 

Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and interest rates. Our future earnings, cash flows and fair values relevant to financial instruments are dependent upon prevalent market interest rates. Our primary market risk results from our indebtedness, which bears interest at both fixed and variable rates. We manage our market risk on variable rate debt by entering into swap agreements to fix the rate on all or a portion of the debt for varying periods through maturity. This in turn, reduces the risks of variability of cash flows created by variable rate debt and mitigates the risk of increases in interest rates. Our objective when undertaking such arrangements is to reduce our floating rate exposure and we do not enter into hedging arrangements for speculative purposes. Subject to maintaining our status as a REIT for Federal income tax purposes, we may utilize swap arrangements in the future.  

The following table summarizes our consolidated debt, the weighted average interest rates and the fair value as of September 30, 2017.

ITEM 4.CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is processed, recorded, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and regulations. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

 

As of September 30, 2017, the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, regarding the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures at the end of the period covered by this Report. Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded, as of that time, that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is processed, recorded, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

 

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes to our internal control over financial reporting in connection with the evaluation referenced above that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

 

 

ITEM 1.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

From time to time, we are a party to various claims and routine litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. As of September 30, 2017, we do not believe that the results of any such claims or litigation, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

 

ITEM 1A.

RISK FACTORS

 

Except to the extent additional factual information disclosed elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q relates to such risk factors (including, without limitation, the matters discussed in Part I, “Item 2Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”), there were no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.

 

 

ITEM 2.

UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

 

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

 

None.

 

 

Recent Purchases of Equity Securities

 

On August 1, 2017, we received authorization from our Board of Directors to repurchase up to $200,000,000 of our common stock from time to time, in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. The amount of timing of repurchases, if any, will depend on a number of factors, including, the price and availability of our shares, trading volume and general market conditions. The stock repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time. During the three months ended September 30, 2017, we did not repurchase any of our common stock.
