PART I

Item 1. Business.

General Development of Business

Overview

Corporate Property Associates 18 – Global Incorporated (“CPA:18 – Global”) and, together with its consolidated subsidiaries, we, us, or our, is a publicly owned, non-traded REIT that primarily invests in a diversified portfolio of income-producing commercial properties and other real estate-related assets,leased to companies, both domestically and outside the United States. In addition, our portfolio includes self-storage and student housing investments. As a REIT, we are not subject to U.S. federal income taxation as long as we satisfy certain requirements, principally relating to the nature of our income and the level of our distributions, among other factors. We conduct substantially all of our investment activities and own all of our assets through CPA:18 Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership, which is our Operating Partnership. In addition to being a general partner and a limited partner of the Operating Partnership, we also own a 99.97% capital interest in the Operating Partnership. WPC–CPA:18 Holdings, LLC (“CPA:18 Holdings” or the “Special General Partner”), also known as the Special General Partner, a subsidiary of our sponsor, W. P. Carey Inc. (“WPC”), holds the remaining 0.03% special general partner interest in the Operating Partnership.

Our primary investment strategy is to acquire, own, and manage a portfolio of commercial real estate properties. Our single-tenant, net-leased properties are leased to a diversified group of companies on a single-tenant, net-leased basis and generally require the tenant to pay substantially all of the costs associated with operating and maintaining the property, such as maintenance, insurance, taxes, structural repairs, and other operating expenses.

In addition, our portfolio atas of December 31, 20182019 included self-storage and multi-family investments (comprised of multi-family residential properties, student housing development projects, and student housing operating properties),properties, which we refer to as our Operating Properties. During the year ended December 31, 2019, our portfolio also included our last multi-family residential property, which was sold on January 29, 2019. After that date, we no longer earned any revenue from multi-family residential properties (which were primarily from leases of one year or less with individual tenants).

We are managed by WPC through certain of its subsidiaries (collectively, our “Advisor”). WPC is a diversified REIT and leading owner of commercial real estate listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “WPC.” In addition, WPC also manages the portfolios of certain non-traded investment programs. Pursuant to an advisory agreement, our Advisor provides both strategic and day-to-day management services for us, including asset management, dispositions of assets, investor relations, investment research and analysis, investment financing and other investment-related services, and administrative services. Our Advisor also provides office space and other facilities for us. We pay asset management fees and certain transactional fees to our Advisor and also reimburse our Advisor for certain expenses incurred in providing services to us, including expenses associated with personnel provided for administration of our operations. The current advisory agreement has a term of one year and may be renewed for successive one-year periods. As of December 31, 2018,2019, our Advisor also servesserved in this capacity for Carey Watermark Investors Incorporated and Carey Watermark Investors 2 Incorporated, which are publicly owned, non-traded REITs that invest in hotel and lodging-related properties (together with us, the “Managed REITs”). WPC also advises Carey European Student Housing Fund I, L.P. (“CESH” and, together(together with the Managed REITs, the “Managed Programs”), a limited partnership formed for the purpose of developing, owning, and operating student housing properties in Europe.

We were formed as a Maryland corporation on September 7, 2012. We commenced our initial public offering in May 2013 and raised aggregate gross proceeds of $1.2 billion through the closing of the offering in April 2015. In addition, from inception through December 31, 2018, $150.42019, $183.9 million and $42.2$52.5 million of distributions to our shareholders were reinvested in our Class A and Class C common stock, respectively, through our Distribution Reinvestment Plan (“DRIP”). Although we have substantially invested all of the proceeds from our offering, we intend to continue to use our cash reserves and cash generated from operations to acquire, own, and manage a portfolio of commercial properties leased to a diversified group of companies, as well as self-storage and multi-familystudent housing operating properties and development projects.

Our estimated net asset values per share (“NAVs”) as of September 30, 20182019 were $8.73$8.67 per share for both Class A and Class C common stock. See Significant Developments in Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for more details regarding our NAVs.

We have no employees. AtAs of December 31, 2018,2019, our Advisor had 206204 employees who are available to perform services for us under our advisory agreement (Note 3).

Business Objectives and Strategy

Our objectives are to:

provide attractive risk-adjusted returns for our stockholders;
generate sufficient cash flow over time to provide investors with increasing distributions;
seek investments with potential for capital appreciation; and
use leverage to enhance returns on our investments.

We seek to achieve these objectives by investing in a diversified portfolio of income-producing commercial properties.

We intend our portfolio to be diversified by property type, geography, tenant,properties as well as self-storage and industry. We are not required to meet any diversification standards and have no specific policies or restrictions regarding the geographic areas where we make investments, the industries in which our tenants or borrowers may conduct business, or the percentage of our capital that we may invest in a particular asset type.student housing properties.

Our Portfolio

AtAs of December 31, 2018,2019, our net lease portfolio was comprised of full or partial ownership interests in 5747 properties, substantially all of which were fully occupied and triple-net leased to 9361 tenants, and totaled approximately 10.09.6 million square feet on a pro rata basis.feet. The remainder of our portfolio at that date was comprised of full or partial ownership interests in 6968 self-storage properties, and 15 multi-family properties (which included twelve12 student housing development projects and two student housing operating properties, as well as one multi-family residential property that was sold in January 2019 (Note 16)) totaling 5.65.5 million square feet. See Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Portfolio Overview for more information about our portfolio.

Asset Management
 
Our Advisor is generally responsible for all aspects of our operations, including selecting our investments, formulating and evaluating the terms of each proposed acquisition, arranging for the acquisition of the investment, negotiating the terms of borrowings, managing our day-to-day operations, and arranging for and negotiating sales of assets. With respect to our net-leased investments, asset management functions include entering into new or modified transactions to meet the evolving needs of current tenants, re-leasing properties, credit and real estate risk analysis, building expansions and redevelopments, refinancing debt, and selling assets. With respect to our self-storage and multi-familystudent housing investments, asset management functions include engaging unaffiliated third parties for management and operation of our investments, active oversight of property developers and managers, credit and real estate risk analysis, building expansions and redevelopments, refinancing debt, and selling assets. Working with the third-party managers it engages, our Advisor reviews and approves operating and capital budgets, inspects properties, and provides input on business strategy at the property.

Our Advisor monitors, on an ongoing basis, compliance by tenants with their lease obligations and other factors that could affect the financial performance of any of our properties. Monitoring involves verifying that each tenant has paid real estate taxes, assessments, and other expenses relating to the properties it occupies and confirming that appropriate insurance coverage is being maintained by the tenant. Our Advisor also utilizes third-party asset managers for certain domestic and international investments. Our Advisor reviews financial statements of our tenants and undertakes physical inspections of the condition and maintenance of our properties. Additionally, our Advisor periodically analyzes each tenant’s financial condition, the industry in which each tenant operates, and each tenant’s relative strength in its industry.

With respect to other real estate-related assets such as mortgage and mezzanine loans, asset management operations include evaluating potential borrowers’ creditworthiness, operating history, and capital structure. With respect to any investments in other mortgage-related instruments that we may make, our Advisor is responsible for selecting, acquiring, and facilitating the acquisition or disposition of such investments, including monitoring the portfolio on an ongoing basis. Our Advisor also monitors our portfolio to ensure that we do not engage in activities that may lead us to be deemed an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940.


CPA:18 – Global 20182019 10-K 4



Holding Period

We generally intend to hold our investments in real property for an extended period depending on the type of investment. The determination of whether a particular property should be sold or otherwise disposed of will be made after consideration of relevant factors, including prevailing economic conditions, with a view to achieving maximum capital appreciation for our stockholders or avoiding increases in risk. No assurance can be given that these objectives will be realized.
        
One of our objectives is ultimately to provide our stockholders with the opportunity to obtain liquidity for their investments in us. We may provide liquidity for our stockholders through sales of assets (either on a portfolio basis or individually), a listing of our shares on a stock exchange, a merger (which may include a merger with one or more of the Managed Programs or WPC or its affiliates), an enhanced redemption program or another transaction approved by our board of directors. We are under no obligation to liquidate our portfolio within any particular period since the precise timing will depend on real estate and financial markets, economic conditions of the areas in which the properties are located, and tax effects on stockholders that may prevail in the future. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that we will be able to consummate a liquidity event. In the three most recent instances in which stockholders of non-traded REITs managed by our Advisor were provided with liquidity, Corporate Property Associates 15 Incorporated, (“CPA:15”), Corporate Property Associates 16 – Global Incorporated, (“CPA:16 – Global”), and Corporate Property Associates 17 – Global Incorporated (“CPA:17 – Global”) merged with and into subsidiaries of WPC on September 28, 2012, January 31, 2014, and October 31, 2018, respectively.

Financing Strategies

Consistent with our investment policies, we use leverage when available on terms we believe are favorable. We will generally borrow in the same currency that is used to pay rent on the property. This enables us to hedge a significant portion of our currency risk on international investments. We, through the subsidiaries we form to make investments, will generally seek to borrow on a non-recourse basis and in amounts that we believe will maximize the return to our stockholders, although we may also borrow at the corporate level. The use of non-recourse financing may allow us to improve returns to our stockholders and to limit our exposure on any investment to the amount invested. Non-recourse indebtedness means the indebtedness of the borrower or its subsidiaries that is secured only by the assets to which such indebtedness relates without recourse to the borrower or any of its subsidiaries, other than in case of customary carve-outs for which the borrower or its subsidiaries act as guarantor in connection with such indebtedness, such as fraud, misappropriation, misapplication of funds, environmental conditions, and material misrepresentation. Since non-recourse financing generally restricts the lender’s claim on the assets of the borrower, the lender generally may only take back the asset securing the debt, which protects our other assets. In some cases, particularly with respect to non-U.S. investments, the lenders may require that they have recourse to other assets owned by a subsidiary borrower, in addition to the asset securing the debt. Such recourse generally would not extend to the assets of our other subsidiaries. Lenders typically seek to include change of control provisions in the terms of a loan, making the termination or replacement of our Advisor, or the dissolution of our Advisor, events of default or events requiring the immediate repayment of the full outstanding balance of the loan. While we attempt to negotiate to not include such provisions, lenders may require them.

Aggregate borrowings on our portfolio as a whole may not exceed, on average, the lesser of 75% of the total costs of all investments or 300% of our net assets, unless the excess is approved by a majority of our independent directors and disclosed to stockholders in our next quarterly report, along with justification for the excess. Net assets are our total assets (other than intangibles), valued at cost before deducting depreciation, reserves for bad debts, and other non-cash reserves, less total liabilities.

Our charter currently provides that we will not borrow funds from our directors, WPC, our Advisor or any of their respective affiliates unless the transaction is approved by a majority of our directors (including a majority of the independent directors) who do not have an interest in the transaction, as being fair, competitive, and commercially reasonable and not less favorable than those prevailing for loans between unaffiliated third parties under the same circumstances. In July 2016, it was approved by our and WPC’s board of directors to allow for unsecured loans from WPC to us, of up to $50.0 million in the aggregate (at the sole discretion of WPC’s management), at a rate equal to which WPC can borrow funds under its senior credit facility.



CPA:18 – Global 2018 10-K5


Investment Strategies

Long-Term, Net-Leased Assets

We invest primarily in income-producing commercial real estate properties that are, upon acquisition, improved or being developed or that are to be developed within a reasonable period after acquisition. A significant portion of our acquisitions are subject to long-term triple-net leases, which require the tenant to pay substantially all of the costs associated with operating and maintaining the property. In analyzing potential net-lease investments for our real estate portfolio, our Advisor reviews various aspects of a transaction, including the tenant and the underlying real estate fundamentals, to determine whether a potential investment and lease can be structured to satisfy our investment criteria. In evaluating net-leased transactions, our Advisor generally considers, among other things, the following aspects of each transaction:



CPA:18 – Global 2019 10-K5


Tenant/Borrower Evaluation — Our Advisor evaluates each potential tenant or borrower for its creditworthiness, typically considering factors such as management experience, industry position and fundamentals, operating history, and capital structure. Our Advisor also rates each asset based on its market, liquidity, and criticality to the tenant’s operations, as well as other factors that may be unique to a particular investment. Our Advisor seeks opportunities in which it believes the tenant may have a stable or improving credit profile or credit potential that has not been fully recognized by the market. Our Advisor defines creditworthiness as a risk-reward relationship appropriate to its investment strategies, which may or may not coincide with ratings issued by the credit rating agencies. Our Advisor has a robust internal credit rating system and may designate a tenant as “implied investment grade” even if the credit rating agencies have not made a rating determination. As of December 31, 2018,2019, we had nine tenants that were rated investment grade, as well as 3547 below-investment grade tenants (with a weighted-average internal credit rating of 3.3). The aforementioned credit rating data does not include our multi-tenant net-leased properties or our multi-family residential properties, student housing development projects, or student housing operating properties.

Properties Critical to Tenant/Borrower Operations — Our Advisor generally focuses on properties that it believes are critical to the ongoing operations of the tenant. Our Advisor believes that these properties generally provide better protection, particularly in the event of a bankruptcy, since a tenant/borrower is less likely to risk the loss of a critically important lease or property in a bankruptcy proceeding or otherwise.and development projects.

Lease Terms — Generally, the net-leased properties in which we invest will be leased on a full-recourse basis to the tenants or their affiliates. In addition, our Advisor seeks to include a clause in each lease that provides for increases in rent over the term of the lease. These increases are either fixed (i.e., mandated on specific dates) or tied to increases in inflation indices (e.g., Consumer Price Index (“CPI”), or similar indices in the jurisdiction where the property is located), but may contain caps or other limitations, either on an annual or overall basis. In the case of retail stores and hotels, the lease may provide for participation in gross revenues of the tenant above a stated level (“percentage rent”).

Transaction Provisions to Enhance and Protect Value — Our Advisor attempts to include provisions in our leases it believes may help to protect our investment from changes in the tenant’s operating and financial characteristics, which may affect the tenant’s ability to satisfy its obligations to us or reduce the value of our investment. Such provisions include covenants requiring our consent for certain activities, requiring indemnification protections and/or security deposits, and requiring the tenant to satisfy specific operating tests. Our Advisor may also seek to enhance the likelihood that a tenant will satisfy their lease obligations through a letter of credit or guaranty from the tenants parent or other entity. Such credit enhancements, if obtained, provide us with additional financial security. However, in markets where competition for net-leased transactions is strong, some or all of these lease provisions may be difficult to obtain. In addition, in some circumstances, tenants may retain the option to repurchase the property typically at the greater of the contract purchase price or the fair market value of the property at the time the option is exercised.

Operating Properties and Other

Self-Storage Investments — Our Advisor combines a rigorous underwriting process and active oversight of property managers with a goal to generate attractive risk-adjusted returns. We had full or partial ownership interests in 6968 self-storage properties as of December 31, 2018.2019. Our self-storage investments are managed by unaffiliated third parties who have been engaged by our Advisor. Our Advisor’s internal asset management personnel oversee the third-party managers with detailed performance reviews, budget review and approval, and business strategy review.



CPA:18 – Global 2018 10-K6


Multi-FamilyStudent Housing Investments — We have strategic relationships with third parties for the purpose of sourcing and managing investment opportunities in this sector, both domestically and internationally. We combine a rigorous underwriting process and active oversight of property developers and managers with a goal to generate attractive risk-adjusted returns. As of December 31, 2018,2019, we had full or partial ownership interests in 15 multi-family properties (including twelve12 student housing development projects and two student housing operating properties, as well as one multi-family residential property that was sold in January 2019 (Note 16)).properties.

Diversification 

Our Advisor attempts to diversify our portfolio to avoid undue dependence on any one particular tenant, borrower, collateral type, geographic location, or industry. By diversifying the portfolio, our Advisor seeks to reduce the adverse effect of a single under-performing investment or a downturn in any particular industry or geographic region. While our Advisor has not endeavored to maintain any particular standard of diversity in our owned portfolio, we believe that it is reasonably well-diversified. Our Advisor also assesses the relative risk of our portfolio on a quarterly basis.

Real Estate Evaluation

Our Advisor reviews and evaluates the physical condition of the property and the market in which it is located. Our Advisor considers a variety of factors, including current market rents, replacement cost, residual valuation, property operating history, demographic characteristics of the location and accessibility, competitive properties, and suitability for re-leasing. Our Advisor obtains third-party environmental and engineering reports and market studies when required. When considering an investment outside the United States, our Advisor will also consider factors particular to a country or region, including geopolitical risk, in addition to the risks normally associated with real property investments.

Other Real Estate-Related Assets

We have acquired or may in the future acquire other real estate assets, including, but not limited to, the following:

Opportunistic Investments — These may include short-term net leases, vacant property, land, multi-tenanted property, non-commercial property, and property leased to non-related tenants.
Mortgage Loans Collateralized by Commercial Real Properties — We may invest in commercial mortgages and other commercial real estate interests consistent with the requirements for qualification as a REIT.
B Notes — We may purchase from third parties, and may retain from mortgage loans we originate and securitize or sell, subordinated interests referred to as B Notes.
Mezzanine Loans — We have invested in and may continue to invest in mezzanine loans that take the form of subordinated loans secured by second mortgages on the underlying property or loans secured by a pledge of the ownership interests in the entity that directly or indirectly owns the property.
Equity and Debt Securities of Companies Engaged in Real Estate Activities,including other REITs — We may invest in equity and debt securities (including common and preferred stock, as well as limited partnership or other interests) of companies engaged in real estate activities.

Transactions with Affiliates
We have entered, and expect in the future to enter, into transactions with our affiliates, including our Advisor, if we believe that doing so is consistent with our investment objectives and we comply with our investment policies and procedures. These transactions typically take the form of equity investments in jointly owned entities, direct purchases of assets, mergers, or other types of transactions. Joint ventures with affiliates of WPC are permitted only if:

a majority of our directors (including a majority of our independent directors) not otherwise interested in the transaction approve the allocation of the transaction among the affiliates as being fair and reasonable to us; and
the affiliate makes its investment on substantially the same terms and conditions as us.



CPA:18 – Global 20182019 10-K 76


Investment Decisions

Our Advisor’s investment department, under the oversight of its chief investment officer, is primarily responsible for evaluating, negotiating, and structuring potential investment opportunities for us and WPC. Our Advisor also has an independent investment committee that provides services to CESH, WPC, and us. Before an investment is made for us, the transaction is reviewed by the investment committee. The independent investment committee is not directly involved in originating or negotiating potential investments, but instead functions as a separate and final step in the acquisition process. Our Advisor places special emphasis on having experienced individuals serve on its investment committee. Subject to limited exceptions, our Advisor generally will not invest in a transaction on our behalf unless it is approved by the investment committee.

The investment committee has developed policies that permit some investments to be made without committee approval. Under current policy, certain investments may be approved by either the chairman of the investment committee or the Advisor’s chief investment officer. Additional such delegations may be made in the future at the discretion of the investment committee.

Environmental Matters

We have invested, and expect to continue to invest, in properties currently or historically used as industrial, manufacturing, and commercial properties. Under various federal, state, and local environmental laws and regulations, current and former owners and operators of property may have liability for the cost of investigating, cleaning up or disposing of hazardous materials released at, on, under, in, or from the property. These laws typically impose responsibility and liability without regard to whether the owner or operator knew of or was responsible for the presence of hazardous materials or contamination, and liability under these laws is often joint and several. Third parties may also make claims against owners or operators of properties for personal injuries and property damage associated with releases of hazardous materials. As part of our efforts to mitigate these risks, we typically engage third parties to perform assessments of potential environmental risks when evaluating a new acquisition of property, and we frequently require sellers to address them before closing or obtain contractual protection (indemnities, cash reserves, letters of credit, or other instruments) from property sellers, tenants, a tenant’s parent company or another third party to address known or potential environmental issues. With respect to our self-storage and multi-family investments, which are not subject to net-leased arrangements, there is no tenant of the property to provide indemnification, so we may be liable for costs associated with environmental contamination in the event any such circumstances arise after we acquire the property.

The valuation methodologies underlying our NAVs involve subjective judgments. Valuations of real properties do not necessarily represent the price at which a willing buyer would purchase our properties; therefore, there can be no assurance that we would realize the values underlying our NAVs if we were to sell our assets and distribute the net proceeds to our stockholders. In addition, the values of our assets and debt are likely to fluctuate over time. This price may not be indicative of (i) the price at which shares would trade if they were listed on an exchange or actively traded by brokers, (ii) the proceeds that a stockholder would receive if we were liquidated or dissolved, or (iii) the value of our portfolio at the time you dispose of your shares. Since our NAVs are estimates and may be impacted by various factors (including elements that are outside our control, such as changes in interest and/or exchange rates, as well as real estate markets fluctuations), there is no assurance that a stockholder will realize such NAVs in connection with any liquidity event.

We may be unable to pay or maintain cash distributions or increase distributions over time.

The amount of cash we have available for distribution to stockholders is affected by many factors, such as the performance of our Advisor in selecting investments for us to make, selecting tenants for our properties, and securing financing arrangements; our ability to buy properties; the amount of rental income from our properties; our operating expense levels; as well as many other variables. We may not always be in a position to pay distributions to our stockholders and any distributions we do make may not increase over time. Our board of directors, in its sole discretion, will determine on a quarterly basis the amount of cash to be distributed to our stockholders based on a number of considerations, including, but not limited to, our results of operations, cash flow and capital requirements; economic and tax considerations; our borrowing capacity; applicable provisions of the Maryland General Corporation Law; and other factors. Our actual results may differ significantly from the assumptions used by our board of directors in establishing the distribution rate to our stockholders. There is also a risk that we may not have sufficient cash from operations to make a distribution required to maintain our REIT status. Consequently, our distribution levels are not guaranteed and may fluctuate.

Our distributions in the past have exceeded, and may in the future exceed, our funds from operations (“FFO”).

Over the life of our company, the regular quarterly cash distributions we pay are expected to be principally sourced from our FFO. However, we have funded a portion of our cash distributions to date using net proceeds from our public offering and there can be no assurance that our FFO will be sufficient to cover our future distributions. For the year ended December 31, 2018,2019, our FFO covered approximately 98.0%76.8% of total distributions declared, with the balance funded from other sources, including our DRIP. We funded all of these distributions forFor the year ended December 31, 2018 from Net2019, net cash provided by operating activities.activities fully covered total distributions declared. If our properties are not generating sufficient cash flow or our other expenses require it, we may need to use other sources of funds, such as proceeds from asset sales or borrowings to fund distributions in order to satisfy REIT requirements. If we fund distributions from borrowings, such financing will incur interest costs and need to be repaid.

Because we have paid, and may continue to pay, distributions from sources other than our FFO, our distributions at any point in time may not reflect the current performance of our properties or our current operating cash flows.

Our charter permits us to make distributions from any source, including the sources described in the risk factor above. Because the amount we pay out in distributions has in the past exceeded, and may in the future continue to exceed, our FFO, distributions to stockholders may not reflect the current performance of our properties or our current operating cash flows. To the extent distributions exceed cash flow from operations, distributions may be treated as a return of investment and could reduce a stockholder’s basis in our stock. A reduction in a stockholder’s basis in our stock could result in the stockholder recognizing more gain upon the disposition of his or her shares, which in turn could result in greater taxable income to such stockholder.

Stockholders’ equity interests may be diluted.

Our stockholders do not have preemptive rights to any shares of common stock issued by us in the future. Therefore, (i) when we sell shares of common stock in the future, including those issued pursuant to our DRIP, (ii) when we issue shares of common stock to our independent directors or to our Advisor and its affiliates for payment of fees in lieu of cash, or (iii) if we issue additional common stock or other securities that are convertible into our common stock, then existing stockholders and investors that purchased their shares in our initial public offering will experience dilution of their percentage ownership in us. Depending on the terms of such transactions, most notably the offering price per share, which may be less than the price paid per share in our initial public offering, and the value of our properties and other investments, existing stockholders might also experience a dilution in the book value per share of their investment in us.

If we recognize substantial impairment charges on our properties or investments, our net income may be reduced.

We may incur substantial impairment charges, which we are required to recognize: (i) whenever we sell a property for less than its carrying value or we determine that the carrying amount of the property is not recoverable and exceeds its fair value; (ii) for direct financing leases, whenever losses related to the unguaranteedcollectability of receivables are both probable and reasonably estimable or there has been a permanent decline in the current estimate of the residual value of the underlying property has declined on an other-than-temporary basis;property; and (iii) for equity investments, whenever the estimated fair value of the investment’s underlying net assets in comparison with the carrying value of our interest in the investment has declined on an other-than-temporary basis. By their nature, the timing or extent of impairment charges are not predictable. We may incur non-cash impairment charges in the future, which may reduce our net income, although they do not necessarily affect our FFO, which is the metric we use to evaluate our distribution coverage.

Our board of directors may change our investment policies without stockholder approval, which could alter the nature of your investment.

Our investment policies may change over time and may also vary as new investment techniques are developed. Except as otherwise provided in our charter, our investment policies, the methods for their implementation, as well as our other objectives, policies, and procedures, may be altered by a majority of our directors (including a majority of the independent directors), without the approval of our stockholders. As a result, the nature of your investment could change without your consent. Material changes in our investment focus will be described in our periodic reports filed with the SEC; however, these reports would typically be filed after changes in our investment focus have been made, and in some cases, several months after such changes. A change in our investment strategy may, among other things, increase our exposure to interest rate risk, default risk, and commercial real property market fluctuations, all of which could materially adversely affect our ability to achieve our investment objectives.

We are not required to meet any diversification standards; therefore, our investments may become subject to concentration risks.

Subject to our intention to maintain our qualification as a REIT, we are not required to meet any diversification standards. Therefore, our investments may become concentrated in type or geographic location, which could subject us to significant risks with potentially adverse effects on our investment objectives.

Our success is dependent on the performance of our Advisor, but the past performance of other programs managed by our Advisor may not be indicative of our success.Advisor.

Our ability to achieve our investment objectives and to pay distributions is largely dependent upon the performance of our Advisor in the acquisition of investments, the selection of tenants, the determination of any financing arrangements, the completion of our build-to-suit and development projects, and the management of our assets. TheIn addition, our Advisor may not be as familiar with the potential risks of investments outside our existing property types, which could lead to diminished investment performance and adversely affect our revenues, NAVs, and distributions to our stockholders.

Finally, the performance of past programs managed by our Advisor may not be indicative of our Advisor’s performance with respect to us. We cannot guarantee that our Advisor will be able to successfully manage and achieve liquidity for us to the extent it has done so for prior programs.

This repurchasecosts to us could be prohibitively expensive and require the Operating Partnership to sell assets in order to complete the repurchase. If our Operating Partnership does not exercise its repurchase right and CPA:18 Holdings’ interest is converted into a special limited partnership interest, we might be unable to find another entity that would be willing to act as our Advisor while CPA:18 Holdings owns a significant interest in the Operating Partnership. Even if we do find another entity to act as our Advisor, we may be subject to higher fees than those charged by Carey Asset Management Corp. These considerations could deter us from terminating the advisory agreement.substantial.

The repurchase of CPA:18 Holdings’ special general partner interest in our Operating Partnership upon termination of our Advisor may discourage certain business combination transactions.

In the event of a merger or other extraordinary corporate transaction in which the advisory agreement is terminated and an affiliate of WPC does not replace Carey Asset Management Corp. as our Advisor, the Operating Partnership must either repurchase all or a portion of CPA:18 Holdings’ special general partner interest in our Operating Partnership at the value described in the immediately preceding risk factor or obtain CPA:18 Holdings’ consent to the merger. This obligation may deter a transaction in which we are not the surviving entity. This deterrence may limit the opportunity for stockholders to receive a premium for their shares that might otherwise exist if a third party attempted to acquire us through a merger or other extraordinary corporate transaction.

The termination or replacement of our Advisor could trigger a default or repayment event under the financing arrangements for some of our assets.

Lenders for certain financing arrangements related to our assets may request change of control provisions in their loan documentation that would make the termination or replacement of WPC or its affiliates as our Advisor an event of default or an event triggering the immediate repayment of the full outstanding balance of the loan. If an event of default or a repayment event occurs with respect to any of our loans, our revenues and distributions to our stockholders may be adversely affected.

Payment of fees to our Advisor and distributions to our Special General Partner will reduce cash available for investment and distribution.

Our Advisor performs services for us in connection with the selection and acquisition of our investments, the management and leasing of our properties, and the administration of our other investments. Pursuant to the advisory agreement, asset management fees payable to our Advisor may be paid in cash or shares of our Class A common stock at our option, after consultation with our Advisor. If our Advisor receives all or a portion of its fees in cash, we will pay our Advisor substantial cash fees for these services. In addition, our Special General Partner is entitled to certain distributions from our Operating Partnership. The payment of these fees and distributions will reduce the amount of cash available for investments or distribution to our stockholders.

We have limited independence from our Advisor and its affiliates, who may be subject to conflicts of interest.

We delegate our management functions to our Advisor, for which it earns fees pursuant to the advisory agreement. Although at least a majority of our board of directors must be independent, we have limited independence from our Advisor due to this delegation. As part of its duties, our Advisor manages our business and selects our investments. Our Advisor and its affiliates have potential conflicts of interest in their dealings with us. Circumstances under which a conflict could arise between us and our Advisor and its affiliates include:

our Advisor is compensated for certain transactions on our behalf (e.g., acquisitions of investments and sales), which may cause our Advisor to engage in transactions that generate higher fees, rather than transactions that are more appropriate or beneficial for our business;
agreements between us and our Advisor, including agreements regarding compensation, are not negotiated on an arm’s-length basis, as would occur if the agreements were with unaffiliated third parties; 
acquisitions of single assets or portfolios of assets from WPC and its affiliates , subject to our investment policies and procedures, in the form of a direct purchase of assets, a merger, or another type of transaction; 
competition with WPC for investments, which are resolved by our Advisor (although our Advisor is required to use its best efforts to present a continuing and suitable investment program to us, allocation decisions present conflicts of interest, which may not be resolved in the manner most favorable to our interests);
decisions regarding asset sales, which could impact the timing and amount of fees payable to our Advisor, as well as allocations and distributions payable to CPA:18 Holdings pursuant to its special general partner interests (e.g., our Advisor receives asset management fees and may decide not to sell an asset; however, CPA:18 Holdings will be entitled to certain profit allocations and cash distributions based upon sales of assets as a result of its Operating Partnership profits interest);
decisions regarding potential liquidity events and business combination transactions (including a merger with WPC); 
decisions regarding liquidity events, which may entitle our Advisor and its affiliates to receive additional fees and distributions in relation to the liquidations; 
a recommendation by our Advisor that we declare distributions at a particular rate because our Advisor and CPA:18 Holdings may begin collecting subordinated fees once the applicable preferred return rate has been met; and
the negotiation or termination of the advisory agreement and other agreements with our Advisor and its affiliates.

Our NAVs are computed by our Advisor relying in part on information that our Advisor provides to a third party.

Our NAVs are computed by our Advisor relying in part upon third-party appraisals of the fair market value of our real estate (we began using a rolling appraisal process starting with our September 30, 2016 quarterly NAVs, whereby approximately 25% of our real estate portfolio, based on asset value, is appraised each quarter) and third-party estimates of the fair market value of our debt. Any valuation includes the use of estimates and our valuation may be influenced by the information provided to the third party by our Advisor. Because our NAVs are estimates and can change as interest rate and real estate markets fluctuate, there is no assurance that a stockholder will realize such NAVs in connection with any liquidity event.

We face competition from our Advisor and its affiliates, as well as unrelated parties for the investments we make.

WPC has investment policies and return objectives that are similar to ours and they are actively seeking investment opportunities. Therefore, WPC may compete with us with respect to investments; potential purchasers, sellers, and lessees of properties; and mortgage financing for properties. We do not have a non-competition agreement with WPC.

We also face competition for our investments from many unrelated sources, including insurance companies, credit companies, pension funds, private individuals, financial institutions, finance companies, investment companies, and other REITs. We also face competition from institutions that provide or arrange for other types of commercial financing through private or public offerings of equity or debt or traditional bank financings. These institutions may accept greater risk or lower returns, allowing them to offer more attractive terms to prospective tenants. In addition, when evaluating acceptable rates of return on our behalf, our Advisor considers a variety of factors, such as the cost of raising capital, the amount of revenue it can earn, and our performance hurdle rate. These factors may limit the number of investments that our Advisor makes on our behalf. Further capital inflows into our marketplace will place additional pressure on the returns that we can generate from our investments, as well as our Advisor’s willingness and ability to execute transactions.

If we internalize our management functions, stockholders’ interests could be diluted and we could incur significant self-management costs.

In the future, our board of directors may consider internalizing the functions currently performed for us by our Advisor by, among other methods, acquiring our Advisor. The method by which we could internalize these functions could take many forms. There is no assurance that internalizing our management functions will be beneficial to us and our stockholders. There is also no assurance that the key employees of our Advisor who perform services for us would elect to work directly for us, instead of remaining with our Advisor or another affiliate of WPC. An acquisition of our Advisor could also result in dilution of your interests as a stockholder and could reduce earnings per share. Additionally, we may not realize the perceived benefits, be able to properly integrate a new staff of managers and employees, or be able to effectively replicate the services provided previously by our Advisor. Internalization transactions, including the acquisition of advisors or property managers affiliated with entity sponsors, have also, in some cases, been the subject of litigation. Even if these claims are without merit, we could be forced to spend significant resources defending claims, which would reduce the amount of funds available for us to invest in properties or other investments and to pay distributions. All of these factors could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition, and ability to pay distributions.

We couldmay be adversely affected if WPC sells, transfersdeterred from terminating the advisoryagreement or otherwise discontinues its investment management business.engaging in certain business combination transactions because, upon certain events, our Operating Partnership must decide whether to repurchase all or a portion of WPC’s interest in our Operating Partnership.

If WPC sells, transfers or otherwise discontinues its investment management business entirely, we would have to find a new Advisor, who may not be familiar with our company, may not provide the same level of services as our Advisor, and may charge fees that are higher than the fees we pay to our Advisor, all of which may materially adversely affect our performance and delay or otherwise negatively impact our ability to effect a liquidity event. If we terminate the advisory agreement upon 60 days’ written notice without cause or penalty, the termination or resignation of our Advisor, including by non-renewal of the advisory agreement and replacement with an entity that is not an affiliate of our Advisor, would give our Operating Partnership the right, but not the obligation, to repurchase the Special General Partner’sall or a portion of WPC’s special general partner interest in our Operating Partnership (which is held through its subsidiary CPA:18 Holdings) at a value based on the lesser of: (i) five times the amount of the last completed fiscal year’s special general partner distributions, and (ii) the discounted present value of the estimated future special general partner distributions until March 2025. This repurchase could be prohibitively expensive and require the Operating Partnership to sell assets in order to complete the repurchase. If our Operating Partnership does not exercise its repurchase right and WPC’s interest is converted into a special limited partnership interest, we might be unable to find another entity that would be willing to act as our Advisor while WPC owns a significant interest in the Operating Partnership. Even if we do find another entity to act as our Advisor, we may be subject to higher fees than those charged by Carey Asset Management Corp. These considerations could deter us from terminating the advisory agreement.

In addition, in the event of a merger or other extraordinary corporate transaction in which the advisory agreement is terminated and an affiliate of WPC does not replace our Advisor, the Operating Partnership must either repurchase WPC’s special general partner interest in our Operating Partnership at the value described above or obtain WPC’s consent to the merger. This obligation may limit opportunities for stockholders to receive a premium for their shares that might otherwise exist if a third party attempted to acquire us through a merger or other extraordinary corporate transaction.

The termination or replacement of our Advisor could trigger a default or repayment event under the financing arrangements for some of our assets.

Lenders for certain financing arrangements related to our assets may request change of control provisions in their loan documentation that would make the termination or replacement of WPC or its affiliates as our Advisor an event of default or an event triggering the immediate repayment of the full outstanding balance of the loan. If an event of default or a repayment event occurs with respect to any of our loans, our revenues and distributions to our stockholders may be adversely affected.

The value of our real estate is subject to fluctuation.

We are subject to all of the general risks associated with the ownership of real estate. While the revenues from our leases are not directly dependent upon the value of the real estate owned, significant declines in real estate values could adversely affect us in many ways, including a decline in the residual values of properties at lease expiration, difficulty refinancing mortgage loans at maturity, possible lease abandonments by tenants, and a decline in the attractiveness of triple-net lease transactions to potential sellers. We also face the risk that lease revenue will be insufficient to cover all corporate operating expenses and debt service payments we incur. General risks associated with the ownership of real estate include:

adverse changes in general or local economic conditions, including changes in interest rates or foreign exchange rates;
changes in the supply of, or demand for, similar or competing properties;
competition for tenants and changes in market rental rates;
inability to lease or sell properties upon termination of existing leases, or renewal of leases at lower rental rates;
inability to collect rents from tenants due to financial hardship, including bankruptcy;
changes in tax, real estate, zoning, or environmental laws that adversely impact the value of real estate;
failure to comply with federal, state, and local legal and regulatory requirements, including the Americans with Disabilities Act or fire and life-safety requirements;
uninsured property liability, property damage, or casualty losses;
changes in operating expenses or unexpected expenditures for capital improvements;
exposure to environmental losses; and
force majeure and other factors beyond the control of our management.

In addition, the initial appraisals that we obtain on our properties are generally based on the value of the properties when they are leased. If the leases on the properties terminate, the value of the properties may fall significantly below the appraised value, which could result in impairment charges on the properties.



CPA:18 – Global 2018 10-K13


Our ability to fully control the management of our net-leased properties may be limited.

The tenants or managers of net-leased properties are responsible for maintenance and other day-to-day management of the properties. If a property is not adequately maintained in accordance with the terms of the applicable lease, we may incur expenses for deferred maintenance expenditures or other liabilities once the property becomes free of the lease. While our leases generally provide for recourse against the tenant in these instances, a bankrupt or financially troubled tenant may be more likely to defer maintenance and it may be more difficult to enforce remedies against such a tenant. In addition, to the extent tenants are unable to successfully conduct their operations, their ability to pay rent may be adversely affected. Although we endeavor to monitor, on an ongoing basis, compliance by tenants with their lease obligations and other factors that could affect the financial performance of our properties, such monitoring may not always ascertain or forestall deterioration either in the condition of a property or the financial circumstances of a tenant.

Our participation in joint ventures creates additional risk.

From time to time, we have participated in joint ventures to purchase assets and we may do so in the future. There are additional risks involved in joint venture transactions. As a co-investor in a joint venture, we would not be in a position to exercise sole decision-making authority relating to the property, the joint venture, or our investment partner. In addition, there is the potential that our joint venture partner may become bankrupt or that we may have diverging or inconsistent economic or business interests. These diverging interests could, among other things, expose us to liabilities in the joint venture in excess of our proportionate share of those liabilities. The partition rights of each owner in a jointly owned property could reduce the value of each portion of the divided property.

We may have difficulty selling or re-leasing our properties and this lack of liquidity may limit our ability to quickly change our portfolio in response to changes in economic or other conditions.

Real estate investments are generally less liquid than many other financial assets, which may limit our ability to quickly adjust our portfolio in response to changes in economic or other conditions. Some of our net lease investments involve properties that are designed for the particular needs of a tenant. With these properties, we may be required to renovate or make rent concessions in order to lease the property to another tenant. In addition, if we are forced to sell these properties, we may have difficulty selling it to a party other than the tenant due to the property’s unique design. These and other limitations may affect our ability to sell properties without adversely affecting returns to our stockholders.

Our accounting policies and methods are fundamental to how we record and report our financial position and results of operations, and they require us to make estimates, judgments, and assumptions about matters that are inherently uncertain.

Our accounting policies and methods are fundamental to how we record and report our financial position and results of operations. We have identified several accounting policies as being critical to the presentation of our financial position and results of operations because they require management to make particularly subjective or complex judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain and because of the likelihood that materially different amounts would be recorded under different conditions or using different assumptions. Due to the inherent uncertainty of the estimates, judgments, and assumptions associated with these critical accounting policies, we cannot provide any assurance that we will not make significant subsequent adjustments to our consolidated financial statements. If our judgments, assumptions, and allocations prove to be incorrect, or if circumstances change, our business, financial condition, revenues, operating expense, results of operations, liquidity, ability to pay dividends, or stock price may be materially adversely affected.

We use derivative financial instruments to hedge against interest rate and currency fluctuations, which could reduce the overall return on our investments.

We use derivative financial instruments to hedge exposures to changes in interest rates and currency rates. These instruments involve risk, such as the risk that counterparties may fail to perform under the terms of the derivative contract or that such arrangements may not be effective in reducing our exposure to interest rate changes. In addition, the use of such instruments may reduce the overall return on our investments. These instruments may also generate income that may not be treated as qualifying REIT income for purposes of the 75% or 95% REIT income test. See “Because the REIT provisions of the Internal Revenue Code limit our ability to hedge effectively, the cost of our hedging may increase, and we may incur tax liabilities” below.

Because we invest in properties located outside the United States, we are exposed to additional risks.
 
We have invested, and may continue to invest in, properties located outside the United States. AtAs of December 31, 2018,2019, our triple-net lease real estate properties located outside of the United States represented 59%56% of consolidated contractual minimum annualized base rent (“ABR”). These investments may be affected by factors particular to the local jurisdiction where the property is located and may expose us to additional risks, including:
 
enactment of laws relating to the foreign ownership of property (including expropriation of investments), or laws and regulations relating to our ability to repatriate invested capital, profits, or cash and cash equivalents back to the United States;
legal systems where the ability to enforce contractual rights and remedies may be more limited than under U.S. law;
difficulty in complying with conflicting obligations in various jurisdictions and the burden of complying with a wide variety of foreign laws, which may be more stringent than U.S. laws (including land use, zoning, environmental, financial, and privacy laws and regulations) includingregulations, such as the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation in the European Union;Regulation);
tax requirements vary by country and existing foreign tax laws and interpretations may change (e.g., the on-going implementation of the European Union’s Anti-Tax Avoidance Directive)Directives), which may result in additional taxes on our international investments;
changes in operating expenses in particular countries; and
geopolitical risk and adverse market conditions caused by changes in national or regional economic or political conditions (which may impact relative interest rates and the terms or availability cost, and terms of mortgage funds), including with regard to Brexit (discussed below).

In addition, the lack of publicly available information in certain jurisdictions in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) could impair our ability to analyze transactions and may cause us to forego an investment opportunity. It may also impair our ability to receive timely and accurate financial information from tenants necessary to meet our reporting obligations to financial institutions or governmental and regulatory agencies. Certain of these risks may be greater in less developed countries. Further, our Advisor’s expertise to date has primarily been in the United States and certain countries in Europe and Asia. Our Advisor has less experience in other international markets and may not be as familiar with the potential risks to our investments in these areas, which could cause us to incur losses as a result.
 
Our Advisor may engage third-party asset managers in international jurisdictions to monitor compliance with legal requirements and lending agreements with respect to properties we own. Failure to comply with applicable requirements may expose us or our operating subsidiaries to additional liabilities.

The United Kingdom invoked Article 50 of the Treaty on European Union on March 29, 2017, initiatinginitiated the process to leave the European Union (“Brexit”), which is currently scheduled to occur on March 29, 2019. 2017, which formally occurred on January 31, 2020. The United Kingdom is currently in a transition period until December 31, 2020, during which it negotiates the terms of its future relationship with the European Union, while preserving membership in the European Union’s internal market and customs union and relinquishing representation in the European Union’s institutions.

The real estate industry faces substantial uncertainty regarding the impact of Brexit. Adverse consequences could include, but are not limited to: global economic uncertainty and deterioration, volatility in currency exchange rates, adverse changes in regulation of the real estate industry, disruptions to the markets we invest in and the tax jurisdictions we operate in (which may adversely impact tax benefits or liabilities in these or other jurisdictions), and/or negative impacts on the operations and financial conditions of our tenants or the operations of our student housing properties. In addition, Brexit could lead to legal uncertainty and potentially divergent national laws and regulations as the United Kingdom determines which European Union laws to replace or replicate. As of December 31, 2018, 3.0%2019, 6% and 27.0%24% of our consolidated total revenue was from the United Kingdom and other European Union countries, respectively (although these percentages will likely increase upon the completion of our student housing development projects located in the United Kingdom and other European Union countries).

Given the ongoing political uncertainty surrounding the eventual formtransition period negotiations (including the potential implementation of Brexit (including a potential “hardfree trade agreement versus a “no-deal Brexit” in which the United Kingdom would also give up full access to the European Union single market and customs union)), we cannot predict how the Brexit process will finally be implemented and are continuing to assess the potential impact, if any, of these events on our operations, financial condition, and results of operations.

Changes in how LIBOR is determined, or the potentialThe anticipated replacement of LIBOR with an alternative reference rate, may adversely affect our interest expense.

Certain instruments within our debt profile are indexed to the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), which is a benchmark rate at which banks offer to lend funds to one another in the international interbank market for short term loans. Concerns regarding the accuracy and integrity of LIBOR including the underlying methodology for calculating LIBOR, led the United Kingdom to publish a review of LIBOR in September 2012. The review made a number of recommendations, including the introduction of statutory regulation of LIBOR, the transfer of responsibility for LIBOR from the British Bankers’ Association to an independent administrator, changes to the method of compilation of lending rates and new regulatory oversight and enforcement mechanisms for rate setting. Based on the review, final rules for the regulation and supervision of LIBOR by the Financial Conduct Authority (the “FCA”) were published and came into effect on April 2, 2013. On July 27, 2017, the FCA announced its intention to phase out LIBOR rates by the end of 2021.

We cannot predict the impact of these changes or any other regulatory reforms that may be enacted in other jurisdictions, to LIBOR. In addition, any other legal or regulatory changes made byas regulators and the FCA or other governance or oversight bodies inglobal financial markets debate the method by which LIBOR is determined or the transition from LIBOR to a successor benchmark may result in, among other things, a sudden or prolonged increase or decrease inbenchmark. Assuming that LIBOR a delay in the publication of LIBOR, or changes in the rules or methodologies in LIBOR, all of which may discourage market participants from continuing to administer or to participate in LIBOR’s determination and, in certain situations, could result in LIBOR no longer being determined and published. If LIBOR isbecomes unavailable after 2021, the interest rates on our LIBOR-indexed debt (comprised of our non-recourse mortgage loan with carrying amount of $25.1 million, which is not subject to interest rate swaps or caps, as of December 31, 2019) will be determined usingfall back to various alternative methods, any of which maycould result in higher interest obligations than under the current form of LIBOR. Further, the same costs and risks that may lead to the discontinuation or unavailability of LIBOR may make one or more of the alternative methods impossible or impracticable to determine. Any of these proposals or consequences could have a material adverse effect on our financing costs. Furthermore, thereThere is no guarantee that a transition from LIBOR to an alternative will not result in financial market disruptions, significant increases in benchmark rates or borrowing costs to borrowers, any of which could have an adverse effect on our business,financing costs, liquidity, results of operations, and overall financial condition, and liquidity.condition.

Fluctuations in exchange rates may adversely affect our results and our NAVs.

We are subject to potential fluctuations in exchange rates between foreign currencies and the U.S. dollar (our principal foreign currency exposures are to the euro and, to a lesser extent, the Norwegian krone and British pound sterling). We attempt to mitigate a portion of the currency fluctuation risk by financing our properties in the local currency denominations, although there can be no assurance that this will be effective. Since we have historically placed both our debt obligations and tenants’ rental obligations to us in the same currency, our results of our foreign operations are adversely affected by a stronger U.S. dollar relative to foreign currencies (i.e., absent other considerations, a stronger U.S. dollar will reduce both our revenues and our expenses), which may in turn adversely affect our NAVs.

Because we use debt to finance investments, our cash flow could be adversely affected.

Most of our investments were made by borrowing a portion of the total investment and securing the loan with a mortgage on the property. We generally borrow on a non-recourse basis to limit our exposure on any property to the amount of equity invested in the property. If we are unable to make our debt payments as required, a lender could foreclose on the property or properties securing its debt. Additionally, lenders for our international mortgage loan transactions typically incorporate various covenants and other provisions (including loan to value ratio, debt service coverage ratio, and material adverse changes in the borrower’s or tenant’s business) that can cause a technical loan default. Accordingly, if the real estate value declines or the tenant defaults, the lender would have the right to foreclose on its security. If any of these events were to occur, it could cause us to lose part or all of our investment, which could reduce the value of our portfolio and revenues available for distribution to our stockholders.

Some of our financing may also require us to make a balloon payment at maturity. Our ability to make such balloon payments will depend upon our ability to refinance the obligation, invest additional equity, or sell the underlying property. When a balloon payment is due, however, we may be unable to refinance the balloon payment on terms as favorable as the original loan, make the payment with existing cash or cash resources, or sell the property at a price sufficient to cover the payment. Our ability to accomplish these goals will be affected by various factors existing at the relevant time, such as the state of national and regional economies, local real estate conditions, available mortgage or interest rates, availability of credit, our equity in the mortgaged properties, our financial condition, the operating history of the mortgaged properties, and tax laws. A refinancing or sale could affect the rate of return to stockholders and the projected disposition timing of our assets.

Because most of our properties are occupied by a single tenant, our success is materially dependent upon their financial stability.
 
Most of our properties are occupied by a single tenant; therefore, the success of our investments is materially dependent on the financial stability of these tenants. Revenues from several of our tenants/guarantors constitute a significant percentage of our revenues. For the year ended December 31, 2018,2019, our five largest tenants/guarantors represented approximately 21.3%21.7% of our total consolidated revenue. Lease payment defaults by tenants could negatively impact our net income and reduce the amounts available for distribution to our stockholders. As some of our tenants may not have a recognized credit rating, these tenants may have a higher risk of lease defaults than tenants with a recognized credit rating.

The bankruptcy or insolvency of tenants or borrowers may cause a reduction in our revenue and an increase in our expenses. 

We have had and may in the future have tenants file for bankruptcy protection. Bankruptcy or insolvency of a tenant or borrower under one of our loan transactions could cause: the loss of lease or interest and principal payments, an increase in the carrying cost of the property, litigation,and litigation. If one or a series of bankruptcies or insolvencies is significant enough (more likely during a period of economic downturn), it could lead to a reduction in our NAV,NAVs, and/or a decrease in amounts available for distribution to our stockholders.

Under U.S. bankruptcy law, a tenant that is the subject of bankruptcy proceedings has the option of assuming or rejecting any unexpired lease. As a general matter, after the commencement of bankruptcy proceedings and prior to assumption or rejection of an expired lease, U.S. bankruptcy laws provide that, until such unexpired lease is assumed or rejected, the tenant or its trustee must perform the tenant’s obligations under the lease in a timely manner. However, under certain circumstances, the time period for performance of such obligations may be extended by an order of the bankruptcy court. If the tenant rejects the lease, any resulting claim we have for breach of the lease (excluding collateral securing the claim) will be treated as a general unsecured claim. Theclaim and the maximum claim will be capped at the amount owed for unpaid rent prior to the bankruptcy (unrelated to the termination), plus the greater of one year’s lease payments or 15% of the remaining lease payments payable under the lease (but no more than three years’ lease payments).capped. In addition, due to the long-term nature of our leases and, in some cases, terms providing for the repurchase of a property by the tenant, a bankruptcy court could recharacterize a net-leasenet lease transaction as a secured lending transaction. If that were to occur, we would not be treated as the owner of the property, but we might have rights as a secured creditor. Those rights would not include a right to compel the tenant to timely perform its obligations under the lease but may instead entitle us to “adequate protection,” a bankruptcy concept that applies to protect against a decrease in the value of the property if the value of the property is less than the balance owed to us.

In circumstances where the bankruptcy laws of the United States are considered to be more favorable to debtors and/or their reorganization, entities that are not ordinarily perceived as U.S. entities may seek to take advantage of U.S. bankruptcy laws (an entity would be eligible to be a debtor under the U.S. bankruptcy laws if it had a domicile, place of business, or assets in the United States).laws.

We may incur costs to finish build-to-suit and development projects.

We may acquirehave acquired undeveloped land or partially developed buildings in order to construct build-to-suit facilities for a prospective tenant. The primary risks of build-to-suit projects are the potential for failing to meet an agreed-upon delivery schedule and cost-overruns, which may, among other things, cause total project costs to exceed the original budget and may depress our NAVs and distributions until the projects come online. While some prospective tenants will bear these risks, we may be required to bear these risks in other instances, which means that (i) we may have to advance funds to cover cost-overruns that we would not be able to recover through increased rent payments or (ii) that we may experience delays in the project that delay commencement of rent. We will attempt to minimize these risks through guaranteed maximum price contracts, review of contractor financials, and completing plans and specifications prior to commencement of construction. The incurrence of the additional costs described above or any non-occupancy by a prospective tenant upon completion may reduce the project’s and our portfolio’s returns or result in losses, which may adversely affect our NAVs.

Development and construction risks could affect our profitability.

We have and may continue to invest in and develop student housing development projects student housingand operating properties and multi-family residential properties. Currently, we have twelve12 ongoing student housing development projects.projects, with estimated funding commitments totaling $457.4 million. Such investments can involve long timelines and complex undertakings, including due diligence, entitlement, environmental remediation, and dense urban construction. We may abandon opportunities that we have begun to explore for a number of reasons (including changes in local market conditions or increases in construction or financing costs) and, as a result, fail to recover expenses already incurred in exploring those opportunities. We may also be unable to obtain, or experience delays in obtaining, necessary zoning, occupancy, or other required governmental or third-party permits and authorizations, which could result in increased costs or missing the beginning of the academic year or the delay or abandonment of opportunities. We project construction costs based on market conditions at the time we prepare our budgets and, while we include anticipated changes, we cannot (i) predict costs with certainty or (ii) guarantee that market rents in effect at the time that the development is completed will be sufficient to offset the effects of any increased costs. Occupancy rates and rents may fail to meet our original expectations for a number of reasons, including competition from similar developments and other changes in market and economic conditions beyond our control.

We are subject to risks posed by fluctuating demand and significant competition in the self-storage industry.

A decrease in the demand for self-storage space would likely have an adverse effect on revenues from our operating portfolio. Demand for self-storage space has been and could be adversely affected by weakness in national, regional, and local economies; changes in supply of, or demand for, similar or competing self-storage facilities in an area; and the excess amount of self-storage space in a particular market. To the extent that any of these conditions occur, they are likely to affect market rents for self-storage space, which could cause a decrease in our revenues. For the year ended December 31, 2018,2019, revenue generated from our self-storage investments represented approximately 27%31% of our consolidated total revenue.

Our self-storage facilities compete with other self-storage facilities in their geographic markets. As a result of competition, the self-storage facilities could experience a decrease in occupancy levels and rental rates, which would decrease our cash available for distribution. We compete in operations and for acquisition opportunities with companies that have substantial financial resources. Competition may reduce the number of suitable acquisition opportunities offered to us and increase the bargaining power of property owners seeking to sell. The self-storage industry has at times experienced overbuilding in response to perceived increases in demand. A recurrence of overbuilding may cause our self-storage properties to experience a decrease in occupancy levels, limit their ability to increase rents, and compel them to offer discounts.



CPA:18 – Global 20182019 10-K 1816


We depend on the abilities of the property managers of our self-storage facilities.facilities and student housing operating properties.

We contract with independent property managers to operate our self-storage facilities and student housing operating properties on a day-to-day basis. Although we consult with the property managers with respect to strategic business plans, we may be limited, depending on the terms of the applicable management agreement, in our ability to direct the actions of the independent property managers, particularly with respect to daily operations. Thus, even if we believe that our self-storage facilities or our student housing operating properties are being operated inefficiently or in a manner that does not result in satisfactory occupancy rates or operating profits, we may not have sufficient rights under a particular management agreement to force the property manager to change its method of operation. We can only seek redress if a property manager violates the terms of the applicable management agreement, and then only to the extent of the remedies provided in the agreement. We are, therefore, substantially dependent on the ability of the independent property managers to successfully operate our self-storage facilities.facilities and student housing operating properties. Some of our management agreements may have lengthy terms, may not be terminable by us before the agreement’s expiration and may require the payment of termination fees. In the event that we are able to and do replace any of our property managers, we may experience significant disruptions at the self-storage facilities or student housing operating properties, which may adversely affect our results of operations.

Short-term leases may expose us to the effects of declining market rent.

We currently own, and may continue to acquire, certain types of properties (e.g., self-storage and student housing properties) that typically have short-term leases (generally one year or less) with tenants. There is no assurance that we will be able to renew these leases as they expire or attract replacement tenants on comparable terms, if at all, which may expose us to the effects of declining market rent.

Potential liability for environmental matters could adversely affect our financial condition.

We have invested, and may in the future invest, in real properties historically used for industrial, manufacturing, and other commercial purposes, and some of our tenants may handle hazardous or toxic substances, generate hazardous wastes, or discharge regulated pollutants to the environment. Buildings and structures on the properties we purchase may have known or suspected asbestos-containing building materials. We may invest in properties located in countries that have adopted laws or observe environmental management standards that are less stringent than those generally followed in the United States, which may pose a greater risk that releases of hazardous or toxic substances have occurred. We therefore may own properties that have known or potential environmental contamination as a result of historical or ongoing operations, which may expose us to liabilities under environmental laws. Some of these laws could impose the following on us:

responsibility and liability for the costs of investigation and removal (including at appropriate disposal facilities)
or remediation of hazardous or toxic substances in, on, or migrating from our real property, generally without regard to our knowledge of, or responsibility for, the presence of these contaminants;
liability for claims by third parties based on damages to natural resources or property, personal injuries, or costs of removal or remediation of hazardous or toxic substances in, on, or migrating from our property; and 
responsibility for managing asbestos-containing building materials and third-party claims for exposure to those materials.

Costs relating to investigation, remediation, or removal of hazardous or toxic substances, or for third-party claims for damages, may be substantial and could exceed any amounts estimated and recorded within our consolidated financial statements. The presence of hazardous or toxic substances on one of our properties, or the failure to properly remediate a contaminated property, could (i) give rise to a lien in favor of the government for costs it may incur to address the contamination or (ii) otherwise adversely affect our ability to sell or lease the property or to borrow using the property as collateral. In addition, environmental liabilities, or costs or operating limitations imposed on a tenant by environmental laws, could affect its ability to make rental payments to us. And although we endeavor to avoid doing so, we may be required, in connection with any future divestitures of property, to provide buyers with indemnification against potential environmental liabilities. With respect to our self-storage and multi-familystudent housing investments, where there is no tenant to provide indemnification under a net-lease arrangement, we may be liable for costs associated with environmental contamination in the event any such circumstances arise after we acquire the property.property and there is no tenant or other party to provide indemnification under a net-lease arrangement.

We and our independent property operators rely on information technology in our operations, and any material failure, inadequacy, interruption, or security failure of that technology could harm our business.

We and our independent property operators rely on information technology networks and systems, including the Internet, to process, transmit, and store electronic information, and to manage or support a variety of business processes, including financial transactions and records, personal identifying information, billing, and operating data. We purchase some of our information technology from third-party vendors and we rely on commercially available systems, software, tools, and monitoring to provide security for processing, transmission, and storage of confidential information. It is possible that our safety and security measures will not be able to prevent improper system functions, damage, or the improper access or disclosure of personally identifiable information. Security breaches, including physical or electronic break-ins, computer viruses, attacks by hackers, and similar breaches, can create system disruptions, shutdowns, or unauthorized disclosure of confidential information. Any failure to maintain proper function, security, and availability of our information systems could interrupt our operations, damage our reputation, subject us to liability claims or regulatory penalties, and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

The occurrence of cyber incidents to our Advisor, or a deficiency in our Advisor’s cyber security, could negatively impact our business by causing a disruption to our operations, a compromise or corruption of our confidential information, and/or damage to our business relationships, all of which could negatively impact our financial results.

A cyber incident is considered to be any adverse event that threatens the confidentiality, integrity, or availability of information resources. More specifically, a cyber incident could be (i) an intentional attack which(which could include gaining unauthorized access to systems to disrupt operations, corrupt data, or steal confidential information;information) or (ii) an unintentional accident or error. Our Advisor uses information technology and other computer resources to carry out important operational activities and to maintain business records. In addition, our Advisor may store or come into contact with sensitive information and data. If our Advisor and its third-party service providers fail to comply with applicable privacy or data security laws in handling this information, including the new General Data Protection Regulation and the California Consumer Privacy Act, we could face significant legal and financial exposure to claims of governmental agencies and parties whose privacy is compromised, including sizable fines and penalties.

As our Advisor’s reliance on technology has increased, so have the risks posed to our Advisor’s systems, both internal and outsourced. Our Advisor has implemented systemsprocesses, procedures, and processescontrols intended to address ongoing and evolving cyber security risks, secure confidential information, and prevent unauthorized access to or lossbut these measures, as well as our increased awareness of sensitive, confidential, and personal data.a risk of a cyber incident, do not guarantee that our financial results will not be negatively impacted by such an incident. Although our Advisor and its third-party service providers employ what they believe are adequate security, disaster recovery and other preventative and corrective measures, their security measures, may not be sufficient for all possible situations and could be vulnerable to, among other things, hacking, employee error, system error, and facultyfaulty password management.

In addition, if our Advisor or its partners fail to comply with applicable privacy or data security laws in handling this information, including the new General Data Protection Regulation in the European Union, we could face significant legal and financial exposure to claims of governmental agencies and parties whose privacy is compromised. The primary risks that could directly result from the occurrence of a cyber incident include operational interruption, damage to our relationship with our tenants, and private data exposure. A significant and extended disruption could damage our business or reputation; cause a loss of revenue; have an adverse effect on tenant relations; cause an unintended or unauthorized public disclosure; or lead to the misappropriation of proprietary, personal identifying and confidential information; all of which could result in us and our Advisor incurring significant expenses to address and remediate or otherwise resolve these kinds of issues. We and our Advisor maintain insurance intended to cover some of these risks, but it may not be sufficient to cover the losses from any future breaches of our Advisor’s systems. Our Advisor has implemented processes, procedures, and controls to help mitigate these risks, but these measures, as well as our and our Advisor’s increased awareness of a risk of a cyber incident, do not guarantee that our financial results will not be negatively impacted by such an incident. The release of confidential information may also lead to litigation or other proceedings against us and our Advisor by affected individuals, business partners and/or regulators, and the outcome of such proceedings, which could include losses, penalties, fines, injunctions, expenses, and charges recorded against our earnings, reputational harm, could have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial position or results of operations.

The lack of an active public trading market for our shares, combined with the ownership limitation on our shares, may discourage a takeover and make it difficult for stockholders to sell shares quickly or at all.
 
There is no active public trading market for our shares and we do not expect one to develop. Moreover, we are not required to complete a liquidity event by a specified date. To assist us in meeting the REIT qualification rules, among other things, our charter also prohibits the ownership by one person or an affiliated group of (i) more than 9.8% in value of our shares of stock of any class or series (including common shares or any preferred shares) or (ii) more than 9.8% in value or number, whichever is more restrictive, of our outstanding shares of common stock, unless exempted by our board of directors. This ownership limitation may discourage third parties from making a potentially attractive tender offer for your shares, thereby inhibiting a change of control in us. In addition, you should not rely on our redemption plan as a method to sell shares promptly because it includes numerous restrictions that limit your ability to sell your shares to us and our board of directors may amend, suspend, or terminate the plan without advance notice. In particular, the redemption plan provides that we may redeem shares only if we have sufficient funds available for redemption and to the extent the total number of shares for which redemption is requested in any quarter, together with the aggregate number of shares redeemed in the preceding three fiscal quarters, does not exceed 5% of the total number of our shares outstanding as of the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter. Given these limitations, it may be difficult for investors to sell their shares promptly or at all. In addition, the price received for any shares sold prior to a liquidity event is likely to be less than the proportionate value of the real estate we own. Investor suitability standards imposed by certain states may also make it more difficult for investors to sell their shares to someone in those states. As a result, our shares should only be purchased as a long-term investment.

Conflicts of interest may arise between holders of our common stock and holders of partnership interests in our Operating Partnership.

Our directors and officers have duties to us and our stockholders under Maryland law in connection with their management of us. At the same time, our Operating Partnership was formed in Delaware and we, as general partner, have duties under Delaware law to our Operating Partnership and any other limited partners in connection with our management of our Operating Partnership. Our duties as general partner of our Operating Partnership may come into conflict with the duties of our directors and officers to us and our stockholders.

Under Delaware law, a general partner of a Delaware limited partnership owes its limited partners the duties of good faith and fair dealing. Other duties, including fiduciary duties, may be modified or eliminated in the partnership’s partnership agreement. The partnership agreement of our Operating Partnership provides that, for so long as we own a controlling interest in our Operating Partnership, any conflict that cannot be resolved in a manner not adverse to either our stockholders or the limited partners will be resolved in favor of our stockholders. The provisions of Delaware law that allow the fiduciary duties of a general partner to be modified by a partnership agreement have not been tested in a court of law and we have not obtained an opinion of counsel covering the provisions set forth in the partnership agreement that purport to waive or restrict our fiduciary duties.

In addition, the partnership agreement expressly limits our liability by providing that we and our officers, directors, agents, employees, and designees will not be liable or accountable to our Operating Partnership for losses sustained, liabilities incurred, or benefits not derived if we or our officers, directors, agents, employees, or designees, as the case may be, acted in good faith. Furthermore, our Operating Partnership is required to indemnify us and our officers, directors, agents, employees, and designees to the extent permitted by applicable law from, and against, any and all claims arising from operations of our Operating Partnership, unless it is established that: (i) the act or omission was committed in bad faith, was fraudulent, or was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty; (ii) the indemnified party actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property, or services; or (iii) in the case of a criminal proceeding, the indemnified person had reasonable cause to believe that the act or omission was unlawful. These limitations on liability do not supersede the indemnification provisions of our charter.

Maryland law could restrict a change in control, which could have the effect of inhibiting a change in control even if a change in control were in our stockholders interest.

Provisions of Maryland law applicable to us prohibit business combinations with:

any person who beneficially owns 10% or more of the voting power of our outstanding voting stock, referred to as an interested stockholder; 
an affiliate or associate who, at any time within the two-year period prior to the date in question, was the beneficial owner of 10% or more of the voting power of our outstanding stock, also referred to as an interested stockholder; or 
an affiliate of an interested stockholder.

These prohibitions last for five years after the most recent date on which the interested stockholder became an interested stockholder. Thereafter, any business combination must be recommended by our board of directors and approved by the affirmative vote of at least 80% of the votes entitled to be cast by holders of our outstanding voting stock and two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast by holders of our voting stock (other than voting stock held by the interested stockholder or by an affiliate or associate of the interested stockholder). These requirements could have the effect of inhibiting a change in control even if a change in control were in our stockholders’ interest. These provisions of Maryland law do not apply, however, to business combinations that are approved or exempted by our board of directors prior to the time that someone becomes an interested stockholder. In addition, a person is not an interested stockholder if the board of directors approved in advance the transaction by which he or she otherwise would have become an interested stockholder. However, in approving a transaction, the board of directors may provide that its approval is subject to compliance, at or after the time of approval, with any terms and conditions determined by the board.

Our charter permits our board of directors to issue stock with terms that may subordinate the rights of the holders of our current common stock or discourage a third party from acquiring us.

Our board of directors may determine that it is in our best interest to classify or reclassify any unissued stock and establish the preferences, conversion or other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to distributions, qualifications, and terms or conditions of redemption of any such stock. Thus, our board of directors could authorize the issuance of such stock with terms and conditions that could subordinate the rights of the holders of our common stock or have the effect of delaying, deferring, or preventing a change in control of us, including an extraordinary transaction (such as a merger, tender offer, or sale of all or substantially all of our assets) that might provide a premium price for holders of our common stock. However, the issuance of preferred stock must also be approved by a majority of independent directors not otherwise interested in the transaction, who will have access at our expense to our legal counsel or to independent legal counsel. In addition, the board of directors, with the approval of a majority of the entire board and without any action by the stockholders, may amend our charter from time to time to increase or decrease the aggregate number of shares or the number of shares of any class or series that we have authority to issue. If our board of directors determines to take any such action, it will do so in accordance with the duties it owes to holders of our common stock.

Risks Related to REIT Structure

While we believe that we are properly organized as a REIT in accordance with applicable law, we cannot guarantee that the Internal Revenue Service will find that we have qualified as a REIT.

We believe that we are organized in conformity with the requirements for qualification as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code beginning with our 2013 taxable year and that our current and anticipated investments and plan of operation will enable us to meet and continue to meet the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT. Investors should be aware, however, that the Internal Revenue Service or any court could take a position different from our own. Given the highly complex nature of the rules governing REITs, the ongoing importance of factual determinations, and the possibility of future changes in our circumstances, no assurance can be given that we will qualify as a REIT for any particular year.



CPA:18 – Global 2018 10-K22


Furthermore, our qualification and taxation as a REIT will depend on our satisfaction of certain asset, income, organizational, distribution, stockholder ownership, and other requirements on a continuing basis. Our ability to satisfy the quarterly asset tests under applicable Internal Revenue Code provisions and Treasury Regulations will depend in part upon our board of directors’ good faith analysis of the fair market values of our assets, some of which are not susceptible to a precise determination. Our compliance with the REIT income and quarterly asset requirements also depends upon our ability to successfully manage the composition of our income and assets on an ongoing basis. While we believe that we will satisfy these tests, we cannot guarantee that this will be the case on a continuing basis.

The Internal Revenue Service may treat sale-leaseback transactions as loans, which could jeopardize our REIT qualification.

The Internal Revenue Service may take the position that specific sale-leaseback transactions that we treat as true leases are not true leases for U.S. federal income tax purposes but are, instead, financing arrangements or loans. If a sale-leaseback transaction were so recharacterized, we might fail to satisfy the qualification requirements applicable to REITs.

If we fail to remain qualified as a REIT, we would be subject to federal income tax at corporate income tax rates and would not be able to deduct distributions to stockholders when computing our taxable income.

If, in any taxable year, we fail to qualify for taxation as a REIT and are not entitled to relief under the Internal Revenue Code, we will:

not be allowed a deduction for distributions to stockholders in computing our taxable income;
be subject to federal and state income tax, including any applicable alternative minimum tax (for taxable years ending prior to January 1, 2018), on our taxable income at regular corporate rates; and
be barred from qualifying as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year when we were disqualified.



CPA:18 – Global 2019 10-K20


Any such corporate tax liability could be substantial and would reduce the amount of cash available for distributions to our stockholders, which in turn could have an adverse impact on the value of our common stock. This adverse impact could last for five or more years because, unless we are entitled to relief under certain statutory provisions, we will be taxed as a corporation beginning the year in which the failure occurs and for the following four years.

If we fail to qualify for taxation as a REIT, we may need to borrow funds or liquidate some investments to pay the additional tax liability. If this were to occur, funds available for investment would be reduced. REIT qualification involves the application of highly technical and complex provisions of the Internal Revenue Code to our operations, as well as various factual determinations concerning matters and circumstances not entirely within our control. There are limited judicial or administrative interpretations of these provisions. Although we plan to continue to operate in a manner consistent with the REIT qualification rules, we cannot assure you that we will qualify in a given year or remain so qualified.

If we fail to make required distributions, we may be subject to federal corporate income tax.

We intend to declare regular quarterly distributions, the amount of which will be determined, and is subject to adjustment, by our board of directors. To continue to qualify and be taxed as a REIT, we will generally be required to distribute at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (determined without regard to the dividends-paid deduction and excluding net capital gain) each year to our stockholders. Generally, we expect to distribute all, or substantially all, of our REIT taxable income. If our cash available for distribution falls short of our estimates, we may be unable to maintain the proposed quarterly distributions that approximate our taxable income and we may fail to qualify for taxation as a REIT. In addition, our cash flows from operations may be insufficient to fund required distributions as a result of differences in timing between the actual receipt of income and the recognition of income for federal income tax purposes or the effect of nondeductible expenditures (e.g. capital expenditures, payments of compensation for which Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code denies a deduction, the creation of reserves, or required debt service or amortization payments). To the extent we satisfy the 90% distribution requirement, but distribute less than 100% of our REIT taxable income, we will be subject to federal corporate income tax on our undistributed taxable income. We will also be subject to a 4.0% nondeductible excise tax if the actual amount that we pay out to our stockholders for a calendar year is less than a minimum amount specified under the Internal Revenue Code. In addition, in order to continue to qualify as a REIT, any C corporation earnings and profits to which we succeed must be distributed as of the close of the taxable year in which we accumulate or acquire such C corporation’s earnings and profits.



CPA:18 – Global 2018 10-K23


Because we are required to satisfy numerous requirements imposed upon REITs, we may be required to borrow funds, sell assets, or raise equity on terms that are not favorable to us.

In order to meet the REIT distribution requirements and maintain our qualification and taxation as a REIT, we may need to borrow funds, sell assets, or raise equity, even if the then-prevailing market conditions are not favorable for such transactions. If our cash flows are not sufficient to cover our REIT distribution requirements, it could adversely impact our ability to raise short- and long-term debt, sell assets, or offer equity securities in order to fund the distributions required to maintain our qualification and taxation as a REIT. Furthermore, the REIT distribution requirements may increase the financing we need to fund capital expenditures, future growth, and expansion initiatives, which would increase our total leverage.

In addition, if we fail to comply with certain asset ownership tests at the end of any calendar quarter, we must generally correct the failure within 30 days after the end of the calendar quarter or qualify for certain statutory relief provisions to avoid losing our REIT qualification. As a result, we may be required to liquidate otherwise attractive investments. These actions may reduce our income and amounts available for distribution to our stockholders.

Because the REIT rules require us to satisfy certain rules on an ongoing basis, our flexibility or ability to pursue otherwise attractive opportunities may be limited.

To qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, we must continually satisfy tests concerning, among other things, the sources of our income, the nature and diversification of our assets (including mandatory holding periods prior to disposition), the amounts we distribute to our stockholders, and the ownership of our common stock. Compliance with these tests will require us to refrain from certain activities and may hinder our ability to make certain attractive investments or dispositions, including the purchase of non-qualifying assets, the expansion of non-real estate activities, and investments in the businesses to be conducted by our taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRSs”), thereby limiting our opportunities and the flexibility to change our business strategy. Furthermore, acquisition opportunities in domestic and international markets may be adversely affected if we need or require target companies to comply with certain REIT requirements prior to closing on acquisitions.



CPA:18 – Global 2019 10-K21


To meet our annual distribution requirements, we may be required to distribute amounts that may otherwise be used for our operations, including amounts that may be invested in future acquisitions, capital expenditures, or debt repayment; and it is possible that we might be required to borrow funds, sell assets, or raise equity to fund these distributions, even if the then-prevailing market conditions are not favorable for such transactions.

Because the REIT provisions of the Internal Revenue Code limit our ability to hedge effectively, the cost of our hedging may increase and we may incur tax liabilities.

The REIT provisions of the Internal Revenue Code limit our ability to hedge assets and liabilities that are not incurred to acquire or carry real estate. Generally, income from hedging transactions that have been properly identified for tax purposes (which we enter into to manage interest rate risk with respect to borrowings to acquire or carry real estate assets) and income from certain currency hedging transactions related to our non-U.S. operations, do not constitute “gross income” for purposes of the REIT gross income tests (such a hedging transaction is referred to as a “qualifying hedge”). In addition, if we enter into a qualifying hedge, but dispose of the underlying property (or a portion thereof) or the underlying debt (or a portion thereof) is extinguished, we can enter into a hedge of the original qualifying hedge, and income from the subsequent hedge will also not constitute “gross income” for purposes of the REIT gross income tests. To the extent that we enter into other types of hedging transactions, the income from those transactions is likely to be treated as non-qualifying income for purposes of the REIT gross income tests. As a result of these rules, we may need to limit our use of advantageous hedging techniques or implement those hedges through a TRS. This could increase the cost of our hedging activities because our TRSs could be subject to tax on income or gains resulting from such hedges or limit our hedging and therefore expose us to greater interest rate risks than we would otherwise want to bear. In addition, losses in any of our TRSs generally will not provide any tax benefit, except for being carried forward for use against future taxable income in the TRSs.



CPA:18 – Global 2018 10-K24


We use TRSs, which may cause us to fail to qualify as a REIT.

To qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, we hold our non-qualifying REIT assets and conduct our non-qualifying REIT income activities in or through TRSs. The net income of our TRSs is not required to be distributed to us and income that is not distributed to us will generally not be subject to the REIT income distribution requirement. However, there may be limitations on our ability to accumulate earnings in our TRSs and the accumulation or reinvestment of significant earnings in our TRSs could result in adverse tax treatment. In particular, if the accumulation of cash in our TRSs causes the fair market value of our TRS interests and certain other non-qualifying assets to exceed 20% of the fair market value of our assets, we would lose tax efficiency and could potentially fail to qualify as a REIT.

Because the REIT rules limit our ability to receive distributions from TRSs, our ability to fund distribution payments using cash generated through our TRSs may be limited.

Our ability to receive distributions from our TRSs is limited by the rules we must comply with in order to maintain our REIT status. In particular, at least 75% of our gross income for each taxable year as a REIT must be derived from real estate-related sources, which principally includes gross income from the leasing of our properties. Consequently, no more than 25% of our gross income may consist of dividend income from our TRSs and other non-qualifying income types. Thus, our ability to receive distributions from our TRSs is limited and may impact our ability to fund distributions to our stockholders using cash flows from our TRSs. Specifically, if our TRSs become highly profitable, we might be limited in our ability to receive net income from our TRSs in an amount required to fund distributions to our stockholders commensurate with that profitability.

Our ownership of TRSs will be subject to limitations that could prevent us from growing our portfolio and our transactions with our TRSs could cause us to be subject to a 100% penalty tax on certain income or deductions if those transactions are not conducted on an arm’s-length basis.

Overall, no more than 20% of the value of a REIT’s gross assets, may consist of interests in TRSs; compliance with this limitation could limit our ability to grow our portfolio. In addition, the Internal Revenue Code limits the deductibility of interest paid or accrued by a TRS to its parent REIT to assure that the TRS is subject to an appropriate level of corporate taxation. The Internal Revenue Code also imposes a 100% excise tax on certain transactions between a TRS and its parent REIT that are not conducted on an arm’s-length basis. We will monitor the value of investments in our TRSs in order to ensure compliance with TRS ownership limitations and will structure our transactions with our TRSs on terms that we believe are arm’s-length to avoid incurring the 100% excise tax described above. There can be no assurance, however, that we will be able to comply with the TRS ownership limitation or be able to avoid application of the 100% excise tax.



CPA:18 – Global 2019 10-K22


Dividends payable by REITs do not qualify for the reduced tax rates on dividend income from C corporations, which could cause investors to perceive investments in REITs to be relatively less attractive.

The maximum U.S. federal income tax rate for certain qualified dividends payable by C corporations to U.S. stockholders that are individuals, trusts and estates is 20%. Dividends payable by REITs, however, are generally not eligible for the reduced qualified dividend rate. However, for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017 and before January 1, 2026, under the recently enacted Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, noncorporate taxpayers may deduct up to 20% of certain qualified business income, including "qualified REIT dividends" (generally, dividends received by a REIT shareholder that are not designated as capital gain dividends or qualified dividend income), subject to certain limitations, resulting in an effective maximum U.S. federal income tax rate of 29.6% on such income. Although the reduced U.S. federal income tax rate applicable to qualified dividends from C corporations does not adversely affect the taxation of REITs or dividends paid by REITs, the more favorable rates applicable to regular corporate dividends, together with the recently reduced corporate tax rate (21%), could cause investors who are individuals, trusts and estates to perceive investments in REITs to be relatively less attractive than investments in the stocks of non-REIT corporations that pay dividends.




CPA:18 – Global 2018 10-K25


Even if we continue to qualify as a REIT, certain of our business activities will be subject to corporate level income tax and foreign taxes, which will continue to reduce our cash flows, and we will have potential deferred and contingent tax liabilities.

Even if we qualify for taxation as a REIT, we may be subject to certain (i) federal, state, local, and foreign taxes on our income and assets (including alternative minimum taxes for taxable years ending prior to January 1, 2018); (ii) taxes on any undistributed income and state, local, or foreign income; and (iii) franchise, property, and transfer taxes. In addition, we could be required to pay an excise or penalty tax under certain circumstances in order to utilize one or more relief provisions under the Internal Revenue Code to maintain qualification for taxation as a REIT, which could be significant in amount.

Any TRS assets and operations would continue to be subject, as applicable, to federal and state corporate income taxes and to foreign taxes in the jurisdictions in which those assets and operations are located. Any of these taxes would decrease our earnings and our cash available for distributions to stockholders.

We will also be subject to a federal corporate level tax at the highest regular corporate rate (currently 21% for year 2018)) on all or a portion of the gain recognized from a sale of assets formerly held by any C corporation that we acquire on a carry-over basis transaction occurring within a five-year period after we acquire such assets, to the extent the built-in gain based on the fair market value of those assets on the effective date of the REIT election is in excess of our then tax basis. The tax on subsequently sold assets will be based on the fair market value and built-in gain of those assets as of the beginning of our holding period. Gains from the sale of an asset occurring after the specified period will not be subject to this corporate level tax. We expect to have only a de minimis amount of assets subject to these corporate tax rules and do not expect to dispose of any significant assets subject to these corporate tax rules.

Because dividends received by foreign stockholders are generally taxable, we may be required to withhold a portion of our distributions to such persons.

Ordinary dividends received by foreign stockholders that are not effectively connected with the conduct of a U.S. trade or business are generally subject to U.S. withholding tax at a rate of 30%, unless reduced by an applicable income tax treaty. Additional rules with respect to certain capital gain distributions will apply to foreign stockholders that own more than 10% of our common stock.

The ability of our board of directors to revoke our REIT election, without stockholder approval, may cause adverse consequences for our stockholders.

Our organizational documents permit our board of directors to revoke or otherwise terminate our REIT election, without the approval of our stockholders, if it determines that it is no longer in our best interest to continue to qualify as a REIT. If we cease to be a REIT, we will not be allowed a deduction for dividends paid to stockholders in computing our taxable income, and we will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at regular corporate rates and state and local taxes, which may have adverse consequences on the total return to our stockholders.

Federal and state income tax laws governing REITs and related interpretations may change at any time, and any such legislative or other actions affecting REITs could have a negative effect on us and our stockholders.

Federal and state income tax laws governing REITs or the administrative interpretations of those laws may be amended at any time. Federal, state, and foreign tax laws are under constant review by persons involved in the legislative process, at the Internal Revenue Service and the U.S. Department of the Treasury, and at various state and foreign tax authorities. Changes to tax laws, regulations, or administrative interpretations, which may be applied retroactively, could adversely affect us or our stockholders. We cannot predict whether, when, in what forms, or with what effective dates, the tax laws, regulations, and administrative interpretations applicable to us or our stockholders may be changed. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that any such change will not significantly affect our ability to qualify for taxation as a REIT and/or the attendant tax consequences to us or our stockholders.

Recent changesChanges to U.S. tax laws could have a negative impact on our business.

On December 22, 2017, the President signed a tax reform bill into law, referred to herein as the “Tax Cuts and Jobs Act,” which among other things:

reduces the corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% (including with respect to our TRSs);    
reduces the rate of U.S. federal withholding tax on distributions made to non-U.S. shareholders by a REIT that are attributable to gains from the sale or exchange of U.S. real property interests from 35% to 21%;
allows for an immediate 100% deduction of the cost of certain capital asset investments (generally excluding real estate assets), subject to a phase-down of the deduction percentage over time;     
changes the recovery periods for certain real property and building improvements (e.g., 30 years (previously 40 years) for residential real property);
restricts the deductibility of interest expense by businesses (generally, to 30% of the business’s adjusted taxable income) except, among others, real property businesses electing out of such restriction; generally, we expect our business to qualify as such a real property business, but businesses conducted by our TRSs may not qualify, and we have not yet determined whether our subsidiaries can and/or will make such an election;business;
requires the use of the less favorable alternative depreciation system to depreciate real property in the event a real property business elects to avoid the interest deduction restriction above;    
restricts the benefits of like-kind exchanges that defer capital gains for tax purposes to exchanges of real property;
permanently repeals the “technical termination” rule for partnerships, meaning sales or exchanges of the interests in a partnership will be less likely to, among other things, terminate the taxable year of, and restart the depreciable lives of assets held by, such partnership for tax purposes;     
requires accrual method taxpayers to take certain amounts in income no later than the taxable year in which such income is taken into account as revenue in an applicable financial statement prepared under GAAP,in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), which, with respect to certain leases, could accelerate the inclusion of rental income;    
eliminates the federal corporate alternative minimum tax;    
implements a one-time deemed repatriation tax on corporate profits (at a rate of 15.5% on cash assets and 8% on non-cash assets) held offshore, which profits are not taken into account for purposes of the REIT gross income tests;     
reduces the highest marginal income tax rate for individuals to 37% from 39.6% (excluding, in each case, the 3.8% Medicare tax on net investment income);    
generally allows a deduction for individuals equal to 20% of certain income from pass-through entities, including ordinary dividends distributed by a REIT (excluding capital gain dividends and qualified dividend income), generally resulting in a maximum effective federal income tax rate applicable to such dividends of 29.6% compared to 37% (excluding, in each case, the 3.8% Medicare tax on net investment income), although regulations may restrict the ability to claim this deduction for non-corporate shareholders depending upon their holding period in our stock; and     
limits certain deductions for individuals, including deductions for state and local income taxes, and eliminates deductions for miscellaneous itemized deductions (including certain investment expenses).

As a REIT, we are required to distribute at least 90% of our taxable income to our shareholders annually. As a result of the changes to U.S. federal tax laws implemented by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, our taxable income and the amount of distributions to our stockholders required to maintain our REIT status, as well as our relative tax advantage as a REIT, could change.

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act is a complex revision to the U.S. federal income tax laws with impacts on different categories of taxpayers and industries, which will require subsequent rulemaking and interpretation in a number of areas. In addition, many provisions in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, particularly those affecting individual taxpayers, expire at the end of 2025. The long-term impact of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act on the overall economy, government revenues, our tenants, us, and the real estate industry cannot be reliably predicted at this time. Furthermore, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act may negatively impact the operating results, financial condition, and future business plans for some or all of our tenants. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act may also result in reduced government revenues, and therefore reduced government spending, which may negatively impact some of our tenants that rely on government funding. There can be no assurance that the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act will not negatively impact our operating results, financial condition, and future business operations.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is intended to provide the reader with information that will assist in understanding our financial statements and the reasons for changes in certain key components of our financial statements from period to period. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations also provides the reader with our perspective on our financial position and liquidity, as well as certain other factors that may affect our future results.

We operate in three reportable business segments: Net Lease, Self Storage, and Multi-Family.Other Operating Properties. Our Net Lease segment includes our investments in net-leased properties, whether they are accounted for as operating leases or direct financing leases. Our Self Storage segment is comprised of our investments in self-storage properties. Our Multi-FamilyOther Operating Properties segment is comprised of our investments in student housing development projects, student housing operating properties and multi-family residential properties.properties (our last multi-family residential property was sold in January 2019). In addition, we have an All Other category that includes our notes receivable investments.investments, one of which was repaid during the second quarter of 2019 (Note 14).

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of this Report and the matters described under Item 1A. Risk Factors. Please see our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 for discussion of our results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2017.

Business Overview

We are a publicly owned, non-traded REIT that invests in a diversified portfolio of income-producing commercial properties leased to companies, and other real estate-related assets, both domestically and outside the United States. In addition, our portfolio includes self-storage and student housing andproperties. Our last multi-family residential investments.property was sold on January 29, 2019. After that date, we no longer earned any revenue from multi-family residential properties (which were primarily from leases of one year or less with individual tenants). As a REIT, we are not subject to U.S. federal income taxation as long as we satisfy certain requirements, principally relating to the nature of our income, the level of our distributions, and other factors. We earn revenue principally by leasing the properties we own to single corporate tenants, primarily on a triple-net lease basis, which requires the tenant to pay substantially all of the costs associated with operating and maintaining the property. We derive self-storage revenue from rents received from customers who rent storage space, primarily under month-to-month leases for personal or business use. We earn student housing revenue primarily from leases of one year or less with individual students. Revenue is subject to fluctuation because of the timing of new transactions, completion of build-to-suit and development projects, lease terminations, lease expirations, contractual rent adjustments, tenant defaults, sales of properties, and foreign currency exchange rates. We commenced operations in May 2013 and are managed by our Advisor. We hold substantially all of our assets and conduct substantially all of our business through our Operating Partnership. We are the general partner of, and own 99.97% of the interests in, the Operating Partnership. The remaining interest in the Operating Partnership is held by a subsidiary of WPC.

Significant Developments

On December 20, 2019, CPA:18 – Global executed a framework agreement with a third party (“Framework Agreement”) to enter into 11 net lease agreements for our student housing properties located in Spain and Portugal for 25 years upon completion of construction. The student housing operating property located in Barcelona, Spain that was placed into service during the third quarter of 2019 became a net lease property effective as of the date of the Framework Agreement. The remaining ten student housing projects under construction are scheduled for completion throughout 2020 and 2021. Additionally, the Framework Agreement includes an option for the third party to purchase all the properties (on an all or none basis) for fixed purchase prices by September 23, 2023 or earlier under certain other circumstances specified in the Framework Agreement.

Management Changes

On December 11, 2019, Ms. ToniAnn Sanzone, the chief financial officer of WPC, was appointed as our chief financial officer, succeeding Ms. Mallika Sinha, who resigned from that position, effective as of that same date.

Net Asset Values

Our Advisor calculates our NAVs as of each quarter-end by relying in part on rolling update appraisals covering approximately 25% of our real estate portfolio each quarter, adjusted to give effect to the estimated fair value of our debt (all provided by an independent third party) and making additional adjustments.for other relevant factors. Since our quarterly NAVs are not based on an appraisal of our full portfolio, to the extent any new quarterly NAV isadjustments are within 1% of our previously disclosed NAV,NAVs, our quarterly NAVNAVs will remain unchanged. We monitor properties not appraised during the quarter to identify any that may have experienced a significant event and obtain updated third-party appraisals for such properties. Our NAVs are based on a number of variables, including individual tenant credits, lease terms, lending credit spreads, foreign currency exchange rates, share counts, tenant defaults, and development projects that are not yet generating income, among others. We do not control all of these variables and, as such, cannot predict how they will change in the future. The majority of our costsCosts associated with our development projects (which are not yet generating income) are not appraised quarterly and are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. These costs are included in Real estateEstate under construction in our consolidated financial statements and totaled approximately $152.1 million as of December 31, 2018.statements. Our NAVs as of September 30, 20182019 were $8.73$8.67 for both our Class A and Class C common stock. Please see our Current Report on Form 8-K dated December 6, 2018November 20, 2019 for additional information regarding the calculation of our NAVs. Our Advisor currently intends to determine our quarterly NAVs as of December 31, 20182019 during the first quarter of 2019.2020.

The accrued distribution and shareholder servicing fee payable has been valued using a hypothetical liquidation value and, as a result, the NAVs do not reflect any obligation to pay future distribution and shareholder servicing fees. AtAs of December 31, 2018,2019, the liability balance for the distribution and shareholder servicing fee was $3.8 million.

Lease Composition and Leasing Activities

Substantially all of our leases provide for either scheduled rent increases, periodic rent adjustments based on formulas indexed to changes in the CPI or similar indices, or percentage rents. As of December 31, 2019, approximately 50.7% of our leases (based on ABR) provided for adjustments based on formulas indexed to changes in the U.S. CPI (or similar indices for the jurisdiction in which the property is located), some of which are subject to caps and/or floors. In addition, 47.4% of our leases (based on ABR) have fixed rent adjustments, for a scheduled average ABR increase of 3.4% over the next 12 months. Lease revenues from our international investments are subject to exchange rate fluctuations, primarily from the euro. We recognize rents from percentage rents as reported by the lessees, which is after the level of sales requiring a rental payment to us is reached. Percentage rents are insignificant for the periods presented.

Terms and Definitions

Pro Rata Metrics The portfolio information above contains certain metrics prepared under the pro rata consolidation method. We refer to these metrics as pro rata metrics.method (“Pro Rata Metrics”). We have a number of investments in which our economic ownership is less than 100%. Under the full consolidation method, we report 100% of the assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses of those investments that are deemed to be under our control or for which we are deemed to be the primary beneficiary, even if our ownership is less than 100%. Also, for all other jointly owned investments, which we do not control, we report our net investment and our net income or loss(loss) from that investment. Under the pro rata consolidation method, we generally present our proportionate share, based on our economic ownership of these jointly owned investments, of the portfolio metrics of those investments. Multiplying each of our jointly owned investments’ financial statement line items by our percentage ownership and adding or subtracting those amounts from our totals, as applicable, may not accurately depict the legal and economic implications of holding an ownership interest of less than 100% in our jointly owned investments.

ABR ABR represents contractual minimum annualized base rent for our net-leased properties, net of receivable reserves as determined by GAAP, and reflects exchange rates as of December 31, 2018.2019. If there is a rent abatement, we annualize the first monthly contractual base rent following the free rent period. ABR is not applicable to operating properties.

NOI— Net operating income (“NOI”) is a non-GAAP measure intended to reflect the performance of our entire portfolio of properties. We define NOI as rental revenues minusless non-reimbursable property expenses as determined by GAAP. We believe that NOI is a helpful measure that both investors and management can use to evaluate the financial performance of our properties and it allows for comparison of our portfolio performance between periods and to other REITs. While we believe that NOI is a useful supplemental measure, it should not be considered as an alternative to Net income (loss) as an indication of our operating performance.

Stabilized NOI— We use stabilizedStabilized NOI, a non-GAAP measure, as a metric to evaluate the performance of our entire portfolio of properties. Stabilized NOI for development projects and newly acquired operating properties that are not yet substantially leased up are not included in our portfolio information until one year after the project has been substantially completed and placed into service, or the property has been substantially leased up respectively (and the project or property has not been disposed of during or prior to the current period). In addition, any newly acquired stabilized operating property is included in our portfolio of stabilized
Stabilized NOI information upon acquisition. Stabilized NOI for a net-leased property is included in our portfolio information upon acquisition or in the period when it is placed into service as(as the property will already have a lease in place (the property also must not have been disposed of during or priorplace).

Stabilized NOI is adjusted for corporate expenses, such as asset management fees and cash distributions to the current period). Special General Partner, as well as other gains and (losses) that are calculated and reported at the corporate level and not evaluated as part of any property’s operating performance. Additionally, non-cash adjustments (such as straight-line rent adjustments) and interest income related to our Notes receivable (which is non-property related) are not included in Stabilized NOI. Lastly, non-core income is excluded from Stabilized NOI as this income is generally not recurring in nature.

We believe that Stabilized NOI is a helpful measure that both investors and management can use to evaluate the financial performance of our properties and it allows for comparison of our portfolio performance between periods and to other REITs. While we believe that Stabilized NOI is a useful supplemental measure, it should not be considered as an alternative to Net income (loss) as an indication of our operating performance.

Results of Operations

We evaluate our results of operations with a focus on: (i) our ability to generate the cash flow necessary to meet our objectives of funding distributions to stockholders and (ii) increasing the value of our real estate investments. As a result, our assessment of operating results gives less emphasis to the effect of unrealized gains and losses, which may cause fluctuations in net income (loss) for comparable periods but have no impact on cash flows, and to other non-cash charges, such as depreciation and impairment charges.

Lease Composition and Leasing Activities

As of December 31, 2018, approximately 49.4% of our leases (based on ABR) provided for adjustments based on formulas indexed to changes in the U.S. CPI (or similar indices for the jurisdiction in which the property is located), some of which are subject to caps and/or floors. In addition, 45.6% of our leases (based on ABR) have fixed rent adjustments, for a scheduled average ABR increase of 2.2% over the next 12 months. Lease revenues from our international investments are subject to exchange rate fluctuations, primarily from the euro.

Property level contribution is a non-GAAP measure that we believe to be a useful supplemental measure for management and investors in evaluating and analyzing the financial results of our net-leased and operating properties over time. Property level contribution presents the lease and operating property revenues, less property expenses, reimbursable tenant costs, and depreciation and amortization. Reimbursable tenant costs (revenues) are now included within Lease revenues in the consolidated statements of income (Note 2). We believe that Property level contribution allows for meaningful comparison between periods of the direct costs of owning and operating our net-leased assets and operating properties. When a property is leased on a net lease basis, reimbursable tenant costs are recorded as both income and property expense and, therefore, have no impact on the Property level contribution. While we believe that Property level contribution is a useful supplemental measure, it should not be considered as an alternative to Net income (loss) attributable to CPA:18 – Global as an indication of our operating performance.

The increase in property expenses was primarily due to an increase in bad debt expense associated with one of our jointly owned investments in 2018. The decrease in depreciation and amortization expense was primarily due to an in-place lease intangible related to a bankrupt tenant being written-off after the tenant vacated the property in 2017 while the increase in lease revenues primarily related to the fluctuations ofcertain foreign currencies (primarily the euro) in relation to the U.S. dollar between years.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We use the cash flow generated from our investments primarily to meet our operating expenses, service debt, and fund distributions to stockholders. We currently expect that, for the short-term, the aforementioned cash requirements will be funded by our cash on hand, cash flow from operations, financings, and sales of real estate. We may also use proceeds from financings and asset sales for the acquisition of real estate and real estate-related investments.



CPA:18 – Global 2018 10-K52




Our liquidity would be adversely affected by unanticipated costs and greater-than-anticipated operating expenses. To the extent that our working capital reserve is insufficient to satisfy our cash requirements, additional funds may be provided from cash generated from operations or through short-term borrowings. In addition, we may incur indebtedness in connection with the acquisition of real estate, refinance debt on existing properties, or arrange for the leveraging of any previously unfinanced property.

Sources and Uses of Cash During the Year

Our cash flows will fluctuate periodically due to a number of factors, which may include, among other things: the timing of purchases and sales of real estate; the timing of the receipt of proceeds from, and the repayment of, non-recourse mortgage loans and bonds payable,secured debt, and the receipt of lease revenues; whether our Advisor receives fees in shares of our common stock or cash, which our board of directors must elect after consultation with our Advisor; the timing and characterization of distributions received from equity investments in real estate; the timing of payments of the Available Cash Distributions to our Advisor; and changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Despite these fluctuations, we believe our investments will generate sufficient cash from operations to meet our normal recurring short-term and long-term liquidity needs. We may also use existing cash resources, the proceeds of non-recourse mortgage loans,secured debt, sales of assets, and distributions reinvested in our common stock through our DRIP to meet these needs. We assess our ability to access capital on an ongoing basis. Our sources and uses of cash during the yearperiod are described below.

We had cash inflows related to proceeds of $85.6 million from non-recourse mortgage financings and net proceeds received through our DRIP of $42.3 million.

Distributions

Our objectives are to generate sufficient cash flow over time to provide stockholders with distributions. During 2018,2019, we declared distributions to stockholders of $88.2$90.3 million, which were comprised of cash distributions of $44.2$46.5 million and $44.0$43.8 million reinvested by stockholders in shares of our common stock pursuant to our DRIP.

We believe that FFO, a non-GAAP measure, is an appropriate metric to evaluate our ability to fund distributions to stockholders. For a discussion of FFO, see Supplemental Financial Measures below. Over the life of our company,Since inception, the regular quarterly cash distributions that we pay are expected to behave principally sourced from ourbeen covered by FFO or cash flow from operations. However, we have funded a portion of our cash distributions to date using net proceeds from our initial public offering and there can be no assurance that our FFO or cash flow from operations will be sufficient to cover our future distributions. Our distribution coverage using FFO was approximately 98.0%76.8% of total distributions declared during the year ended December 31, 2018, which were all funded from Net2019, while our net cash provided by operating activities.activities fully covered total distributions declared.

Redemptions

We maintain a quarterly redemption program pursuant to which we may, at the discretion of our board of directors, redeem shares of our common stock from stockholders seeking liquidity. During the year ended December 31, 2018,2019, we received requests to redeem 2,004,9581,960,121 and 777,584579,919 shares of Class A and Class C common stock, respectively, comprised of 411449 and 159132 redemption requests, respectively, which we fulfilled at an average price of $8.33$8.48 and $8.24$8.42 per share for the Class A and Class C common stock, respectively. As of the date of this Report, we have fulfilled all of the valid redemption requests that we received during the year ended December 31, 2018.2019. During the year ended December 31, 2017,2018, we redeemed 1,885,6882,004,958 and 636,097777,584 shares of Class A and Class C common stock, respectively, at an average price of $8.01$8.33 and $7.84$8.24 per share, respectively. Except for redemptions sought in certain defined special circumstances, the redemption price of the shares listed above was 95% of our most recently published quarterly NAV.NAVs. For shares redeemed under such special circumstances, the redemption price was the greater of the price paid to acquire the shares from us or 95% of our most recently published quarterly NAV.NAVs.

Cash Resources
 
AtAs of December 31, 2018,2019, our cash resources consisted of cash and cash equivalents totaling $170.9$144.1 million. Of this amount, $92.4$34.4 million (at then-current exchange rates) was held in foreign subsidiaries, which may be subject to restrictions or significant costs should we decide to repatriate these funds. As of December 31, 2018,2019, we had $14.8$26.6 million available to borrow under our third-party financing arrangementsarrangement for funding of construction of certainour student housing development projectsproject located in Austin, Texas (Note 9). Our cash resources may be used for future investments and can be used for working capital needs, other commitments, and distributions to our stockholders. In addition, our unleveraged properties had an aggregate carrying value of $109.5$189.9 million atas of December 31, 2018,2019, although there can be no assurance that we would be able to obtain financing for these properties.

In July 2016, our board of directors and the board of directors of WPC approved unsecured loans from WPC to us for acquisition funding purposes, at the sole discretion of WPC’s management, of up to $50.0 million, in the aggregate, at a rate equal to the rate at which WPC can borrow funds under its senior credit facility. AtAs of December 31, 2018,2019, no such loans were outstanding (Note 3).
 
Cash Requirements
 
During the next 12 months, we expect that our cash requirements will include making payments to fund capital commitments such as development projects, acquiring new investments, paying distributions to our stockholders and to our affiliates that hold noncontrolling interests in entities we control, making share repurchases pursuant to our redemption plan, and making scheduled debt service payments, as well as other normal recurring operating expenses. Balloon payments totaling $80.5$58.1 million on our consolidated mortgage loan obligations are due during the next 12 months. Our Advisor is actively seeking to refinance these loans, although there can be no assurance that it will be able to do so on favorable terms, or at all. We expect to fund $210.3 million related to capital and other lease commitments during the next 12 months. We expect to fund future investments, capital commitments, any capital expenditures on existing properties, and scheduled and unscheduled debt payments on our mortgage loans through the use of our cash reserves, cash generated from operations, and proceeds from financings and asset sales.

CPA:18 – Global 2018 10-K56




Environmental Obligations

In connection with the purchase of many of our properties, we required the sellers to perform environmental reviews. We believe, based on the results of these reviews, that our properties were in substantial compliance with federal, state, and foreign environmental statutes at the time the properties were acquired. However, portions of certain properties have been subject to some degree of contamination, principally in connection with leakage from underground storage tanks, surface spills, or other on-site activities. In most instances where contamination has been identified, tenants are actively engaged in the remediation process and addressing identified conditions. Sellers are generally subject to environmental statutes and regulations regarding the discharge of hazardous materials and any related remediation obligations, and we frequently require sellers to address them before closing or obtain contractual protections (e.g. indemnities, cash reserves, letters of credit, or other instruments) from sellers when we acquire a property. In addition, our leases generally require tenants to indemnify us from all liabilities and losses related to the leased properties and the provisions of such indemnifications specifically address environmental matters. The leases generally include provisions that allow for periodic environmental assessments, paid for by the tenant, and allow us to extend leases until such time as a tenant has satisfied its environmental obligations. Certain of our leases allow us to require financial assurances from tenants, such as performance bonds or letters of credit, if the costs of remediating environmental conditions are, in our estimation, in excess of specified amounts. With respect to our operating properties or vacant net lease properties, which are not subject to net-leased arrangements, there is no tenant to provide for indemnification, so we may be liable for costs associated with environmental contamination in the event any such circumstances arise. However, we believe that the ultimate resolution of environmental matters should not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, liquidity, or results of operations.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2. Many of these accounting policies require judgment and the use of estimates and assumptions when applying these policies in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. On a quarterly basis, we evaluate these estimates and judgments based on historical experience as well as other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates are subject to change in the future if underlying assumptions or factors change. Certain accounting policies, while significant, may not require the use of estimates. Those accounting policies that require significant estimation and/or judgment are described under Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates in Note 2. The recent accounting changechanges that may potentially impact our business isare described under Recent Accounting Pronouncements in Note 2.

Supplemental Financial Measures

In the real estate industry, analysts and investors employ certain non-GAAP supplemental financial measures in order to facilitate meaningful comparisons between periods and among peer companies. Additionally, in the formulation of our goals and in the evaluation of the effectiveness of our strategies, we use FFO, MFFO, and Adjusted MFFO, which are non-GAAP measures. We believe that these measures are useful to investors to consider because they may assist them to better understand and measure the performance of our business over time and against similar companies. A description of FFO, MFFO, and Adjusted MFFO and reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures are provided below.

FFO MFFO, and Adjusted MFFO

Due to certain unique operating characteristics of real estate companies, as discussed below, the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, Inc. (“NAREIT”), an industry trade group, has promulgated a non-GAAP measure known as FFO, which we believe to be an appropriate supplemental measure, when used in addition to and in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP, to reflect the operating performance of a REIT. The use of FFO is recommended by the REIT industry as a supplemental non-GAAP measure. FFO is not equivalent to, nor a substitute for, net income or loss as determined under GAAP.

We define FFO, a non-GAAP measure, consistent with the standards established by the White Paper on FFO approved by the Board of Governors of NAREIT, as restated in December 2018. The White Paper defines FFO as net income or loss computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains or losses from sales of property, impairment charges on real estate, and depreciation and amortization from real estate assets; and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and jointly owned investments. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and jointly owned investments are calculated to reflect FFO. Our FFO calculation complies with NAREIT’s policy described above. However, NAREIT’s definition of FFO does not distinguish between the conventional method of equity accounting and the hypothetical liquidation at book value method of accounting for unconsolidated partnerships and jointly owned investments.


CPA:18 – Global 2018 10-K57





The historical accounting convention used for real estate assets requires straight-line depreciation of buildings and improvements. We believe that, since real estate values historically rise and fall with market conditions, including inflation, interest rates, the business cycle, unemployment, and consumer spending, presentations of operating results for a REIT using historical accounting for depreciation may be less informative. Historical accounting for real estate involves the use of GAAP. Any other method of accounting for real estate such as the fair value method cannot be construed to be any more accurate or relevant than the comparable methodologies of real estate valuation found in GAAP. Nevertheless, we believe that the use of FFO, which excludes the impact of real estate-related depreciation and amortization, as well as impairment charges of real estate-related assets, provides a more complete understanding of our performance to investors and to management; and when compared year over year, reflects the impact on our operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, general and administrative expenses, and interest costs, which may not be immediately apparent from net income. In particular, we believe it is appropriate to disregard impairment charges, as this is a fair value adjustment that is largely based on market fluctuations and assessments regarding general market conditions, which can change over time. While impairment charges are excluded from the calculation of FFO, it could be difficult to recover any impairment charges. However, FFO, MFFO, and Adjusted MFFO, as described below, should not be construed to be more relevant or accurate than the current GAAP methodology in calculating net income or in its applicability in evaluating the operating performance of the company. The method utilized to evaluate the value and performance of real estate under GAAP should be construed as a more relevant measure of operational performance and considered more prominently than the non-GAAP measures FFO, MFFO, and Adjusted MFFO and the adjustments to GAAP in calculating FFO, MFFO, and Adjusted MFFO.

Changes in the accounting and reporting promulgations under GAAP (for acquisition fees and expenses from a capitalization/depreciation model to an expensed-as-incurred model) were put into effect subsequent to the establishment of NAREIT’s definition of FFO. Management believes these cash-settled expenses, such as acquisition fees that are typically accounted for as operating expenses, do not affect our overall long-term operating performance. MFFO

Publicly registered, non-traded REITs typically have a significant amount of acquisition activity and are substantially more dynamic during their initial years of investment and operation. While other start-up entities may also experience significant acquisition activity during their initial years, we believe that non-traded REITs are unique in that they have a limited life with targeted exit strategies within a relatively limited time frame after acquisition activity ceases. We currently intend to begin the process of achieving a liquidity event (i.e., listing of our common stock on a national exchange, a merger or sale of our assets, or another similar transaction) beginning in April 2022, which is seven years following the closing of our initial public offering. Due to the above factors and other unique features of publicly registered, non-traded REITs, the Institute for Portfolio Alternatives (formerly known as the Investment Program Association) (the “IPA”), an industry trade group, has standardized a measure known as MFFO, which the IPA has recommended as a supplemental measure for publicly registered non-traded REITs and which we believe to be another appropriate non-GAAP measure to reflect the operating performance of a non-traded REIT.our operations. MFFO is not equivalent to our net income or loss as determined under GAAP and MFFO may not be a useful measure of the impact of long-term operating performance on value if we do not continue to operate with a limited life and targeted exit strategy as(as currently intended. We believe that, becauseintended). Since MFFO excludes costs that we consider more reflective of investing activities and other non-operating items included in FFO, and also excludes acquisition fees and expenseswe believe that affect our operations only in periods in which properties are acquired, MFFO can provide, on a going forward basis,it provides an indication of the sustainability (that is, the capacity to continue to be maintained) of our operating performance after the period in which we are acquiring properties and once our portfolio is in place. By providinginitial property-acquisition phase. We believe that MFFO we believe we are presenting useful information that assistsallows investors and analysts to better assess the sustainability of our operating performance now that our initial public offering has been completedis

complete and once essentially all of our properties have been acquired.the proceeds are invested. We also believe that MFFO is a recognized measure of sustainable operating performance by the non-traded REIT industry. Further, we believe MFFO is useful in comparing the sustainability of our operating performance, with the sustainability of the operating performance of other real estate companies that are not as involved in acquisition activities. MFFO should only be used to assess the sustainability of a company’s operating performance after a company’s offering has been completed and properties have been acquired, as it excludes acquisition costs that have a negative effect on a company’s operating performance during the periods in which properties are acquired.



CPA:18 – Global 2018 10-K58




We define MFFO, a non-GAAP measure, consistent with the IPA’s Practice Guideline 2010-01, Supplemental Performance Measure for Publicly Registered, Non-Traded REITs: Modified Funds from Operations (the “Practice Guideline”), issued by the IPA in November 2010. The Practice Guideline defines MFFO as FFO further adjusted for the following items, included in the determination of GAAP net income, as applicable: acquisition fees and expenses; amounts relating to deferred rent receivablesstraight line rents and amortization of above- and below-market leases and liabilities (which are adjusted in order to reflect such payments from a GAAP accrual basis to a cash accrual basis of disclosing the rent and lease payments); accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums on debt investments; nonrecurring impairments of real estate-related investments (i.e., infrequent or unusual, not reasonably likely to recur in the ordinary course of business); mark-to-market adjustments included in net income; nonrecurring gains or losses included in net income from the extinguishment or sale of debt, hedges, foreign exchange, derivatives, or securities holdings where trading of such holdings is not a fundamental attribute of the business plan, unrealized gains or losses resulting from consolidation from, or deconsolidation to, equity accounting, and after adjustments for consolidated and unconsolidated partnerships and jointly owned investments, with such adjustments calculated to reflect MFFO on the same basis. The accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums on debt investments, unrealized gains and losses on hedges, foreign exchange, derivatives or securities holdings, unrealized gains and losses resulting from consolidations, as well as other listed cash flow adjustments, are adjustments made to net income in calculating the cash flows provided by operating activities and, in some cases, reflect gains or losses that are unrealized and may not ultimately be realized.

Our MFFO calculation complies with the IPA’s Practice Guideline described above. In calculating MFFO, we exclude acquisition-related expenses,above and is adjusted for certain items, such as accretion of discounts and amortizations of premiums on borrowings (as such adjustments are comparable to the permitted adjustments for debt investments), non-cash accretion of environmental liabilities and amortization of above- and below-market leases, fair value adjustments of derivative financial instruments, deferred rent receivables, and the adjustments of such items related to noncontrolling interests. Under GAAP, acquisition fees and expenses are characterized asROU assets, which management believes is helpful in assessing our operating expenses in determining operating net income. These expenses are paid in cash by a company. All paid and accrued acquisition fees and expenses will have negative effects on returns to investors, the potential for future distributions, and cash flows generated by the company, unless earnings from operations or net sales proceeds from the disposition of other properties are generated to cover the purchase price of the property, these fees and expenses, and other costs related to such property. Further, under GAAP, certain contemplated non-cash fair value and other non-cash adjustments are considered operating non-cash adjustments to net income in determining cash flow from operating activities.performance.

Our management uses MFFO and the adjustments used to calculate it in order to evaluate our performance against other non-traded REITs, which also have limited lives with short and defined acquisition periods and targeted exit strategies shortly thereafter.strategies. As noted above, MFFO may not be a useful measure of the impact of long-term operating performance on value if we do not continue to operate in this manner. We believe that MFFO and the adjustments used to calculate it allow us to present our performance in a manner that takes into account certain characteristics unique to non-traded REITs, such as their limited life, defined acquisition period, and targeted exit strategy, and is therefore a useful measure for investors. For example, acquisition costs are generally funded from the proceeds of our offering and other financing sources and not from operations. By excluding expensed acquisition costs, the use of MFFO provides information consistent with management’s analysis of the operating performance of the properties. Additionally, fair value adjustments, which are based on the impact of current market fluctuations and underlying assessments of general market conditions, but can also result from operational factors such as rental and occupancy rates, may not be directly related or attributable to our current operating performance. By excluding such changes that may reflect anticipated and unrealized gains or losses, we believe MFFO provides useful supplemental information.

Adjusted MFFO

In addition, our management uses Adjusted MFFO as another measure of sustainable operating performance. Adjusted MFFO adjusts MFFO for deferred income tax expenses and benefits, which are non-cash items that may cause short-term fluctuations in net income, but have no impact on current period cash flows. Additionally, we adjust MFFO to reflect the realized gains/losses on the settlement of foreign currency derivatives to arrive at Adjusted MFFO. Foreign currency derivatives are a fundamental part of our operations in that they help us manage the foreign currency exposure we have associated with cash flows from our international investments.

FFO, MFFO, and Adjusted MFFO

Presentation of this information is intended to provide useful information to investors as they compare the operating performance of different REITs, although it should be noted that not all REITs calculate FFO, MFFO, and Adjusted MFFO the same way, so comparisons with other REITs may not be meaningful. Furthermore, FFO, MFFO, and Adjusted MFFO are not necessarily indicative of cash flow available to fund cash needs and should not be considered as an alternative to net income as an indication of our performance, as an alternative to cash flows from operations as an indication of our liquidity, or indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs including our ability to make distributions to our stockholders. FFO, MFFO, and Adjusted MFFO should be reviewed in conjunction with other GAAP measurements as an indication of our performance.



CPA:18 – Global 2018 10-K59




Neither the SEC, NAREIT, nor any other regulatory body has passed judgment on the acceptability of the adjustments that we use to calculate FFO, MFFO, and Adjusted MFFO. In the future, the SEC, NAREIT, or another regulatory body may decide to standardize the allowable adjustments across the non-traded REIT industry and we would have to adjust our calculation and characterization of FFO, MFFO, or Adjusted MFFO accordingly.

(b)Under GAAP, rental receipts are recorded on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease. This may result in timing of income recognition that is significantly different than on an accrual basis. By adjusting for these items (to reflect changes from a straight-line basis to an accrual basis), management believes that MFFO and Adjusted MFFO provides useful supplemental information on the realized economic impact of lease terms, provides insight on the contractual cash flows of such lease terms, and aligns results with management’s analysis of operating performance.

During the year ended December 31, 2019, we aggregated loss on extinguishment of debt and realized (gains) and losses on foreign currency (both of which were previously disclosed as separate MFFO adjustment line items), as well as certain other adjustments, within this line item, which is comprised of adjustments related to Other gains and (losses) on our consolidated statements of income. Prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.
(d)During the year ended December 31, 2018, we recognized a gain from insurance proceeds received of $16.6 million (inclusive of a tax benefit of $3.5 million), which we then transferred to the insurer, as a result of a settlement agreement with our insurer regarding a joint venture development project located in Accra, Ghana, as well as insurance proceeds of $5.6 million for the rebuild of a property that was damaged by a tornado in 2017.
(c)Under GAAP, rental receipts are allocated to periods using an accrual basis. This may result in timing of income recognition that is significantly different than underlying contract terms. By adjusting for these items (to reflect such payments from a GAAP accrual basis to a cash basis of disclosing the rent and lease payments), management believes that MFFO and Adjusted MFFO provides useful supplemental information on the realized economic impact of lease terms and debt investments, provides insight on the contractual cash flows of such lease terms and debt investments, and aligns results with management’s analysis of operating performance.

(d)(e)Under GAAP, certain intangibles are accounted for at cost and reviewed at least annually for impairment, and certain intangibles are assumed to diminish predictably in value over time and amortized, similar to depreciation and amortization of other real estate related assets that are excluded from FFO. However, because real estate values and market lease rates historically rise or fall with market conditions, management believes that by excluding charges relating to amortization of these intangibles, MFFO, and Adjusted MFFO provides useful supplemental information on the performance of the real estate.
(e)
The year ended December 31, 2018 includes a gain on insurance proceeds attributable to noncontrolling interests related to the promote to our joint venture partner for the development project located in Accra, Ghana (Note 13).

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Market Risk

Market risk is the exposure to loss resulting from changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, and equity prices. The primary risks that we are exposed to are interest rate risk and foreign currency exchange risk. We are also exposed to further market risk as a result of tenant concentrations in certain industries and/or geographic regions, since adverse market factors can affect the ability of tenants in a particular industry/region to meet their respective lease obligations. In order to manage this risk, our Advisor views our collective tenant roster as a portfolio and attempts to diversify such portfolio so that we are not overexposed to a particular industry or geographic region.

Generally, we do not use derivative instruments to hedge credit/market risks or for speculative purposes. However, from time to time, we may enter into foreign currency forward contracts and collars to hedge our foreign currency cash flow exposures.

Interest Rate Risk
 
The values of our real estate, related fixed-rate debt obligations, and notes receivable investments are subject to fluctuations based on changes in interest rates. The value of our real estate is also subject to fluctuations based on local and regional economic conditions and changes in the creditworthiness of lessees, which may affect our ability to refinance property-level mortgage debt when balloon payments are scheduled (if we do not choose to repay the debt when due). Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors, including governmental monetary and tax policies, domestic and international economic and political conditions, and other factors beyond our control. An increase in interest rates would likely cause the fair value of our assets to decrease. Increases in interest rates may also have an impact on the credit profile of certain tenants.
 
We are exposed to the impact of interest rate changes primarily through our borrowing activities. To limit this exposure, we have historically attempted to obtain non-recourse mortgagesecured debt financing on a long-term, fixed-rate basis. However, from time to time, we or our joint investment partners have obtained, and may in the future obtain, variable-rate non-recourse mortgage loans,secured debt, and, as a result, we have entered into, and may continue to enter into, interest rate swap agreements or interest rate cap agreements with counterparties. See Note 8 for additional information on our interest rate swaps and caps.

AtAs of December 31, 2018,2019, a significant portion (approximately 94.5%) of our outstanding debt either bore interest at fixed rates, or was swapped or capped to a fixed rate or, in the case of one of our Norwegian investments, inflation-linked to the Norwegian CPI.rate. Our debt obligations are more fully described in Note 9, in Item 8 below, and Liquidity and Capital Resources — Summary of Financing in Item 7 above. The following table presents principal cash outflows based upon expected maturity dates of our debt obligations outstanding atas of December 31, 20182019 (in thousands):

(a)Amounts are based on the exchange rate at December 31, 2018,2019, as applicable.

The estimated fair value of our fixed-rate debt and variable-rate debt (which either have either effectively been converted to a fixed rate through the use of interest rate swaps or, in the case of one our Norwegian investments, is inflation-linked to the Norwegian CPI)swaps) is marginally affected by changes in interest rates. A decrease or increase in interest rates of 1% would change the estimated fair value of this debt at December 31, 20182019 by an aggregate increase of $41.0$34.4 million or an aggregate decrease of $49.9$43.3 million, respectively. Annual interest expense on our unhedged variable-rate debt at December 31, 20182019 would increase or decrease by $1.2$0.7 million for each respective 1% change in annual interest rates.

As more fully described under Liquidity and Capital Resources — Summary of Financing in Item 7 above, a portion of our variable-rate debt in the table above bore interest at fixed rates at December 31, 20182019, but has interest rate reset features that will change the fixed interest rates to then-prevailing market fixed rates at certain points during their term. This debt is generally not subject to short-term fluctuations in interest rates.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

We own international investments, primarily in Europe, and as a result, are subject to risk from the effects of exchange rate movements in various foreign currencies, primarily the euro and the Norwegian krone, which may affect future costs and cash flows. Although most of our foreign investments through the fourth quarteras of 2018December 31, 2019 were conducted in these currencies, we may conduct business in other currencies in the future. We manage foreign currency exchange rate movements by generally placing both our debt service obligation to the lender and the tenant’s rental obligation to us in the same currency. This reduces our overall exposure to the actual equity that we have invested and the equity portion of our cash flow. In addition, we may use currency hedging to further reduce the exposure to our equity cash flow. We are generally a net receiver of these currencies (we receive more cash than we pay out), therefore our foreign operations benefit from a weaker U.S. dollar and are adversely affected by a stronger U.S. dollar, relative to the foreign currency.

As noted above, we have obtained, and may in the future obtain, non-recourse mortgage and bondsecured debt financing in local currencies. To the extent that currency fluctuations increase or decrease rental revenues, as translated to U.S. dollars, the change in debt service, as translated to U.S. dollars, will partially offset the effect of fluctuations in revenue and, to some extent, mitigate the risk from changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

__________
(a)
Amounts are based on the applicable exchange rates at December 31, 20182019. Contractual rents and debt obligations are denominated in the functional currency of the country where each property is located.
(b)
We estimate that, for a 1% increase or decrease in the exchange rate between the British pound sterling and the U.S. dollar, there would be a corresponding change in the projected estimated property-level cash flow at December 31, 2019 of $0.8 million. As a result of the sale of our Truffle portfolio during the year ended December 31, 2019 (Note 13), we no longer receive non-cancelable lease payments denominated in the British pound sterling. The revenues generated from our student housing operating properties located in the United Kingdom are excluded, as they do not meet the criteria of non-cancelable operating leases.
(c)We estimate that, for a 1% increase or decrease in the exchange rate between the euro and the U.S. dollar, there would be a corresponding change in the projected estimated property-level cash flow at December 31, 20182019 of $2.3$2.0 million.
(c)(d)We estimate that, for a 1% increase or decrease in the exchange rate between the Norwegian krone and the U.S. dollar, there would be a corresponding change in the projected estimated property-level cash flow at December 31, 2018 of $0.7 million.
(d)We estimate that, for a 1% increase or decrease in the exchange rate between the British pound sterling and the U.S. dollar, there would be a corresponding change in the projected estimated property-level cash flow at December 31, 20182019 of $0.8 million.
(e)Interest on unhedged variable-rate debt obligations was calculated using the applicable annual interest rates and balances outstanding at December 31, 2018.2019.

As a result of scheduled balloon payments on certain of our international debt obligations, projected debt service obligations exceed projected lease revenues in 2019 and 2020 for investments denominated in the British pound sterling, in 2020, 2021 and 2023 for the euro, and in 2021 and after 2023 for the Norwegian krone. We currently anticipate that, by their respective due dates, we will have refinanced certain of these loans, but there can be no assurance that we will be able to do so on favorable terms, if at all. If refinancing has not occurred, we would expect to use our cash resources to make these payments, if necessary.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1. Organization

Corporate Property Associates 18 – Global Incorporated (“CPA:18 – Global”) and, together with its consolidated subsidiaries, we, us, or our,, is a publicly owned, non-traded REIT,real estate investment trust (“REIT”), that invests primarily in a diversified portfolio of income-producing commercial real estate properties leased to companies, and other real estate related assets, both domestically and internationally. In addition, our portfolio includes self-storage and student housing investments. We were formed in 2012 and are managed by W. P. Carey Inc. (“WPC”) through one of its subsidiaries (collectively our “Advisor”). As a REIT, we are not subject to U.S. federal income taxationtaxes on income and gains that we distribute to our stockholders as long as we satisfy certain requirements, principally relating to the nature of our income and the level of our distributions, among other factors. We earn revenue primarily by leasing the properties we own to single corporate tenants, predominantly on a triple-net lease basis, which requires the tenant to pay substantially all of the costs associated with operating and maintaining the property. We derive self-storage revenue from rents received from customers who rent storage space, primarily under month-to-month leases for personal or business use. We earn student housing and multi-family residential revenue primarily from leases of one year or less with individual students and tenants, respectively. Our last multi-family residential property was sold on January 29, 2019. After that date, we no longer earned revenue from multi-family residential tenants. Revenue is subject to fluctuation due to the timing of new lease transactions, lease terminations, lease expirations, contractual rent adjustments, tenant defaults, sales of properties, and changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

Substantially all of our assets and liabilities are held by CPA:18 Limited Partnership (“the Operating Partnership”), and atas of December 31, 20182019 we owned 99.97% of general and limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership. The remaining interest in the Operating Partnership is held by a subsidiary of WPC.

AtAs of December 31, 2018,2019, our net lease portfolio was comprised of full or partial ownership interests in 5747 properties, substantially all of which were fully-occupiedfully occupied and triple-net leased to 9361 tenants totaling 10.09.6 million square feet. The remainder of our portfolio at that date was comprised of our full or partial ownership interests in 6968 self-storage properties, and 15 multi-family properties (which includes twelve12 student housing development projects and two student housing operating properties, as well as one multi-family residential property that was sold in January 2019 (Note 16)), totaling 5.6approximately 5.5 million square feet.

We operate in three reportable business segments: Net Lease, Self Storage, and Multi-Family.Other Operating Properties. Our Net Lease segment includes our investments in net-leased properties, whether they are accounted for as operating leases or direct financing leases. Our Self Storage segment is comprised of our investments in self-storage properties. Our Multi-FamilyOther Operating Properties segment is comprised of our investments in student housing development projects, student housing operating properties and multi-family residential properties.properties (our last multi-family residential property was sold in January 2019). In addition, we have an All Other category that includes our notes receivable investments, (Note 14).one of which was repaid during the second quarter of 2019. Our reportable business segments and All Other category are the same as our reporting units.units (Note 14).

On December 20, 2019, we executed a framework agreement with a third party (the “Framework Agreement”) to enter into 11 net lease agreements for our student housing properties located in Spain and Portugal for 25 years upon completion of construction. Effective as of the date of this Framework Agreement, the student housing operating property located in Barcelona, Spain that was placed into service during the third quarter of 2019 became a net lease property. Additionally, the remaining ten student housing projects under construction will become subject to net lease agreements upon their completion and are scheduled to do so throughout 2020 and 2021 (Note 14).

We raised aggregate gross proceeds in our initial public offering of approximately $1.2 billion through April 2, 2015, which is the date we closed our offering. We have fully invested the proceeds from our initial public offering. In addition, from inception through December 31, 2018, $150.42019, $183.9 million and $42.2$52.5 million of distributions to our shareholders were reinvested in our Class A and Class C common stock, respectively, through our Distribution Reinvestment Plan (“DRIP”).

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Accounting for Acquisitions 

In accordance with the guidance for business combinations, we determine whether a transaction or other event is a business combination, which requires that the assets acquired and liabilities assumed constitute a business. Each business combination is then accounted for by applying the acquisition method. If the assets acquired are not a business, we account for the transaction or other event as an asset acquisition. Under both methods, we recognize the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquired entity. In addition, for transactions that are business combinations, we evaluate the existence of goodwill or a gain from a bargain purchase. We capitalize acquisition-related costs and fees associated with asset acquisitions. We immediately expense acquisition-related costs and fees associated with business combinations. However, following our adoption of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business, on January 1, 2017, as described below, all transaction costs incurred during the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 were capitalized since our acquisitions during the years were classified as asset acquisitions. Most of our future acquisitions are likely to be classified as asset acquisitions.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements


Purchase Price Allocation of Tangible Assets — When we acquire properties with leases classified as operating leases, we allocate the purchase price to the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities acquired based on their estimated fair values. The tangible assets consist of land, buildings, and site improvements. The intangible assets include the above- and below-market value of leases and the in-place leases, which includes the value of tenant relationships. Land is typically valued utilizing the sales comparison (or market) approach. Buildings are valued, as if vacant, using the cost and/or income approach. Site improvements are valued using the cost approach. The fair value of real estate is determined (i) primarily by reference to portfolio appraisals, which determines their values on a property level by applying a discounted cash flow analysis to the estimated net operating income for each property in the portfolio during the remaining anticipated lease term, and (ii) by the estimated residual value, which is based on a hypothetical sale of the property upon expiration of a lease factoring in the re-tenanting of such property at estimated current market rental rates, applying a selected capitalization rate, and deducting estimated costs of sale.

Assumptions used in the model are property-specific where this information is available; however, when certain necessary information is not available, we use available regional and property-type information. Assumptions and estimates include the following:

a discount rate or internal rate of return;
the marketing period necessary to put a lease in place;
carrying costs during the marketing period;
leasing commissions and tenant improvement allowances;
market rents and growth factors of these rents; and
a market lease term and a capitalization rate to be applied to an estimate of market rent at the end of the market lease term.

The discount rates and residual capitalization rates used to value the properties are selected based on several factors, including:

the creditworthiness of the lessees;
industry surveys;
property type;
property location and age;
current lease rates relative to market lease rates, and
anticipated lease duration.

In the case where a tenant has a purchase option deemed to be favorable to the tenant, or the tenant has long-term renewal options at rental rates below estimated market rental rates, we generally include the value of the exercise of such purchase option or long-term renewal options in the determination of residual value.

The remaining economic life of leased assets is estimated by relying in part upon third-party appraisals of the leased assets, industry standards, and based on our experience. Different estimates of remaining economic life will affect the depreciation expense that is recorded.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements


Purchase Price Allocation of Intangible Assets and Liabilities — We record above- and below-market lease intangible assets and liabilities for acquired properties based on the present value (using a discount rate reflecting the risks associated with the leases acquired including consideration of the credit of the lessee) of the difference between (i) the contractual rents to be paid pursuant to the leases negotiated or in place at the time of acquisition of the properties and (ii) our estimate of fair market lease rates for the property or equivalent property, both of which are measured over the estimated lease term, which includes renewal options that have rental rates below estimated market rental rates.term. We discount the difference between the estimated market rent and contractual rent to a present value using an interest rate reflecting our current assessment of the risk associated with the lease acquired, which includes a consideration of the credit of the lessee. Estimates of market rent are generally determined by us relying in part upon a third-party appraisal obtained in connection with the property acquisition and can include estimates of market rent increase factors, which are generally provided in the appraisal or by local real estate brokers. We measure the fair value of below-market purchase option liabilities we acquire as the excess of the present value of the fair value of the real estate over the present value of the tenant’s exercise price at the option date. We determine these values using our estimates or by relying in part upon third-party appraisals conducted by independent appraisal firms.



CPA:18 – Global 2018 10-K75


Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements


We amortize the above-market lease intangible as a reduction of lease revenue over the remaining contractual lease term. We amortize the below-market lease intangible as an increase to lease revenue over the initial term and any renewal periods in the respective leases. We include the value of above-market leases and below-market ground leases in Other intangible assets in the consolidated financial statements. We include the value of below-market leases and above-market ground leases in Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities in the consolidated financial statements. We include the amortization of above- and below-market ground lease intangibles in Property expenses in the consolidated financial statements.

The value of any in-place lease is estimated to be equal to the acquirer’s avoidance of costs as a result of having tenants in place, that would be necessary to lease the property for a lease term equal to the remaining primary in-place lease term and the value of investment grade tenancy. The cost avoidance is derived first by determining the in-place lease term on the subject lease. Then, based on our review of the market, the cost to be borne by a property owner to replicate a market lease to the remaining in-place term is estimated. These costs consist of: (i) rent lost during downtime (i.e. assumed periods of vacancy), (ii) estimated expenses that would be incurred by the property owner during periods of vacancy, (iii) rent concessions (i.e. free rent), (iv) leasing commissions, and (v) tenant improvements allowances given to tenants. We determine these values using our estimates or by relying in part upon third-party appraisals. We amortize the value of in-place lease intangibles to Depreciationdepreciation and amortization expense over the remaining initial term of each lease. The amortization period for intangibles does not exceed the remaining depreciable life of the building.

If a lease is terminated, we charge the unamortized portion of above- and below-market lease values to rental income and in-place lease values to amortization expense. If a lease is amended, we will determine whether the economics of the amended lease continue to support the existence of the above- or below-market lease intangibles.

Purchase Price Allocation of Debt — When we acquire leveraged properties, the fair value of the related debt instruments is determined using a discounted cash flow model with rates that take into account the credit of the tenants, where applicable, and interest rate risk. Such resulting premium or discount is amortized over the remaining term of the obligation and is included in Interest expense in the consolidated financial statements. We also consider the value of the underlying collateral taking into account the quality of the collateral, the credit quality of the tenant, the time until maturity and the current interest rate.

Purchase Price Allocation of Goodwill — In the case 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. We allocate goodwill to the respective reporting units in which such goodwill arises. In the event we dispose of a property that constitutes a business under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) from a reporting unit with goodwill, we allocate a portion of the reporting unit’s goodwill to that business in determining the gain or loss on the disposal of the business. The amount of goodwill allocated to the business is based on the relative fair value of the business to the fair value of the reporting unit. As part of purchase accounting for a business, we record any deferred tax assets and/or liabilities resulting from the difference between the tax basis and GAAP basis of the investment in the taxing jurisdiction. Such deferred tax amount will be included in purchase accounting and may impact the amount of goodwill recorded depending on the fair value of all of the other assets and liabilities and the amounts paid.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements


Impairments 

Real Estate — We periodically assess whether there are any indicators that the value of our long-lived real estate and related intangible assets may be impaired or that their carrying value may not be recoverable. These impairment indicators include, but are not limited to, the vacancy of a property that is not subject to a lease,vacancies, an upcoming lease expiration, a tenant with credit difficulty, the termination of a lease by a tenant, or a likely disposition of the property. We may incur impairment charges on long-lived assets, including real estate, related intangible assets, direct financing leases, assets held for sale, and equity investments in real estate. We may also incur impairment charges on goodwill and notes receivable. Our policies and estimates for evaluating whether these assets are impaired are presented below.

Real Estate — For real estate assets held for investment and related intangible assets in which an impairment indicator is identified, we follow a two-step process to determine whether an asset is impaired and to determine the amount of the charge. First, we compare the carrying value of the property’s asset group to the estimated future net undiscounted cash flow that we expect the property’s asset group will generate, over a ten-year holding period, including any estimated proceeds from the eventual sale of the property’s asset group. The undiscounted cash flow analysis requires us to make our best estimate of market rents, residual values, and holding periods. We estimate market rents and residual values using market information from outside sources such as third-party market research, external appraisals, broker quotes, or recent comparable sales.



CPA:18 – Global 2018 10-K76


Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements


As our investment objective is to hold properties on a long-term basis, holding periods used in the undiscounted cash flow analysis are generally ten years, but may be less if our intent is to hold a property for less than ten years. Depending on the assumptions made and estimates used, the future cash flow projected in the evaluation of long-lived assets and associated intangible assets can vary within a range of outcomes. We consider the likelihood of possible outcomes in determining our estimate of future cash flows and, if warranted, we apply a probability-weighted method to the different possible scenarios. If the future net undiscounted cash flow of the property’s asset group is less than the carrying value, the carrying value of the property’s asset group is considered not recoverable. We then measure the impairment loss as the excess of the carrying value of the property’s asset group over its estimated fair value. The estimated fair value of the property’s asset group is primarily determined using market information from outside sources, such as broker quotes or recent comparable sales. In cases where the available market information is not deemed appropriate, we perform a future net cash flow analysis discounted for inherent risk associated with each asset to determine an estimated fair value.

Assets Held for Sale — We generally classify real estate assets that are subject to operating leases or direct financing leases as held for sale when we have entered into a contract to sell the property, all material due diligence requirements have been satisfied, we received a non-refundable deposit, and we believe it is probable that the disposition will occur within one year. When we classify an asset as held for sale, we compare the asset’s fair value less estimated cost to sell to its carrying value, and if the fair value less estimated cost to sell is less than the property’s carrying value, we reduce the carrying value to the fair value less estimated cost to sell. We base the fair value on the contract and the estimated cost to sell on information provided by brokers and legal counsel. We will continue to review the property for subsequent changes in the fair value and may recognize an additional impairment charge if warranted.

Real EstateGain/Loss on SalesIn the unlikely event that we decide not to sell a property previously classified as held for sale, we reclassify the property as held and used. We measure and record a property that is reclassified as held and used at the lower of (i) its carrying amount 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 and used or (ii) the estimated fair value at the date of the subsequent decision not to sell.

We recognize gains and losses on the sale of properties when the transaction meets the definition of a contract, criteria are met for the sale of one or more distinct assets, and control of the properties is transferred. When these criteria are met, a gain or loss is recognized as the difference between the sale price, less any selling costs, and the carrying value of the property.

Direct Financing Leases — We reviewperiodically assess whether there are any indicators that the value of our net investments in direct financing leases at least annually tomay be impaired. When determining a possible impairment, we take into consideration the collectability of direct financing lease receivables for which a reserve would be required if any losses are both probable and reasonably estimable. In addition, we determine whether there has been an other-than-temporarya permanent decline in the current estimate of the residual value of the property. The residual value is our estimate of what we could realize upon the sale of the property at the end of the lease term, based on market information and third-party estimates where available. If this review indicates that a permanent decline in residualthe fair value has occurred that is other-than-temporary,of the asset below its carrying value, we recognize an impairment charge equal to the difference between the fair value and carrying amount of the residual value.charge.

We also assess the carrying amount for recoverability and if, as a result of the decreased expected cash flows, we determine that our carrying value is not fully recoverable, we record an allowance for credit losses to reflect the change in the estimate of the future cash flows that includes rent. Accordingly, the net investment balance is written down to fair value. When we enter into a contract to sell the real estate assets that are recorded as direct financing leases, we evaluate whether we believe it is probable that the disposition will occur. If we determine that the disposition is probable, we will classify the net investment as held for sale and write down the net investment to its fair value if the fair value is less than the carrying value.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements


Equity Investment in Real Estate — We evaluate our equity investment in real estate on a periodic basis to determine if there are any indicators that the value of our equity investment may be impaired and whether or not that impairment is other-than-temporary. To the extent an impairment has occurred and is determined to be other-than-temporary, we measure the charge as the excess of the carrying value of our investment over its estimated fair value, which is determined by calculating our share of the estimated fair market value of the underlying net assets based on the terms of the applicable partnership or joint venture agreement. For our equity investment in real estate, we calculate the estimated fair value of the underlying investment’s real estate or net investment in direct financing lease as described in Real Estate and Direct Financing Leases above. The fair value of the underlying investment’s debt, if any, is calculated based on market interest rates and other market information. The fair value of the underlying investment’s other financial assets and liabilities (excluding net investments in direct financing leases) have fair values that generally approximate their carrying values.



CPA:18 – Global 2018 10-K77


Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements


Goodwill — We evaluate goodwill for possible impairment at least annually or upon the occurrence of a triggering event.event (Note 6). To identify any impairment, we first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, including goodwill.value. If this is not determined to be the case, a step one quantitative impairment test is considered unnecessary. However, if it is more likely than not, then step one is performed to determine both the existence and amount of goodwill impairment. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, we do not consider goodwill to be impaired. If however, the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to the excess, limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit.
 
NotesNote Receivable — We evaluate our notesnote receivable on a periodic basis to determine if there are any indicators that the value may be impaired. We determined the estimated fair value of these financial instruments using a discounted cash flow model that estimates the present value of the future note payments by discounting such payments at current estimated market interest rates. The estimated market interest rates take into account interest rate risk and the value of the underlying collateral, which includes quality of the collateral, the credit quality of the tenant/obligor, and the time until maturity.

Other Accounting Policies

Basis of ConsolidationOur consolidated financial statements reflect all of our accounts, including those of our controlled subsidiaries. The portions of equity in consolidated subsidiaries that are not attributable, directly or indirectly, to us are presented as noncontrolling interests. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

When we obtain an economic interest in an entity, we evaluate the entity to determine if it should be deemed a variable interest entity (“VIE”)VIE and, if so, whether we are the primary beneficiary and are therefore required to consolidate the entity. We apply accounting guidance for consolidation of VIEs to certain entities in which the equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. Fixed price purchase and renewal options within a lease, as well as certain decision-making rights within a loan or joint-venture agreement, can cause us to consider an entity a VIE. Limited partnerships and other similar entities that operate as a partnership will be considered VIEs unless the limited partners hold substantive kick-out rights or participation rights. Significant judgment is required to determine whether a VIE should be consolidated. We review the contractual arrangements provided for in the partnership agreement or other related contracts to determine whether the entity is considered a VIE and to establish whether we have any variable interests in the VIE. We then compare our variable interests, if any, to those of the other variable interest holders to determine which party is the primary beneficiary of the VIE based on whether the entity (i) has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIE and (ii) has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The liabilities of these VIEs are non-recourse to us and can only be satisfied from each VIE’s respective assets.

At both December 31, 20182019 and 2017,2018, we had one unconsolidated VIE, which we account for under the equity method of accounting. We do not consolidate this entity because we are not the primary beneficiary and the nature of our involvement in the activities of the entity allows us to exercise significant influence on, but does not give us power over, decisions that significantly affect the economic performance of the entity. As of December 31, 20182019 and 2017,2018, the net carrying amount of this equity investment was $18.8$14.9 million and $20.9$18.8 million, respectively, and our maximum exposure to loss in this entity is limited to our investment. 

At times, the carrying value of our equity investment may fall below zero for certain investments. We intend to fund our share of the jointly owned investment’s future operating deficits should the need arise. However, we have no legal obligation to pay for any of the liabilities of such investments nor do we have any legal obligation to fund the operating deficits. AtAs of December 31, 20182019 and 2017,2018, our sole equity investment did not have a carrying value below zero.

Real Estate and Operating Real Estate — We carry land, buildings, and personal property at cost less accumulated depreciation. We capitalize improvements and significant renovations that extend the useful life of the properties, while we expense replacements, maintenance and repairs that do not improve or extend the lives of the respective assets as incurred.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements


Real Estate Under Construction For properties under construction, operating expenses, including interest charges and other property expenses (e.g. real estate taxes, insurance and legal costs) are capitalized rather than expensed. We capitalize interest by applying the interest rate applicable to any funding specific to the property or the interest rate applicable to outstanding borrowings to the average amount of accumulated qualifying expenditures for properties under construction during the period.

NotesNote Receivable — For investments in mortgage notes and loan participations, the loans are initially reflected at acquisition cost, which consists of the outstanding balance, net of the acquisition discount or premium. We amortize any discount or premium as an adjustment to increase or decrease, respectively, the yield realized on these loans over the life of the loan. As such, differences between carrying value and principal balances outstanding do not represent embedded losses or gains as we generally plan to hold such loans to maturity.balance. Our notesnote receivable areis included in Accounts receivable and other assets, net in the consolidated financial statements. We generate revenue in the form of interest payments from the borrower, which are recognized in Other operating and interest income in the consolidated financial statements.

Allowance for Doubtful AccountsWe consider rents due under leases and payments under notes receivable to be past-due or delinquent when a contractually required rent, principal payment, or interest payment is not remitted in accordance with the provisions of the underlying agreement. We evaluate each account individually and set up an allowance when, based upon current information and events, it is probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the existing contractual terms and the amount can be reasonably estimated. 

Cash and Cash Equivalents We consider all short-term, highly liquid investments that are both readily convertible to cash and have a maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. Items classified as cash equivalents include commercial paper and money market funds. Our cash and cash equivalents are held in the custody of several financial institutions, and these balances, at times, exceed federally insurable limits. We seek to mitigate this risk by depositing funds only with major financial institutions.

Other Assets and Liabilities  We include notesour note receivable, prepaid expenses, deferred rental income, equity investment in real estate, tenant receivables, deferred charges, escrow balances held by lenders, restricted cash balances, deferred tax assets, and derivative assets in Accounts receivable and other assets, net in the consolidated financial statements. We include derivative liabilities, deferred income taxes, amounts held on behalf of tenants, deferred revenue, intangible liabilities, and environmental liabilities in Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities in the consolidated financial statements. Deferred rental income is the aggregate cumulative difference for operating leases between scheduled rents that vary during the lease term and rent recognized on a straight-line basis.

Deferred Acquisition Fees Payable to Affiliate Fees payable to our Advisor for structuring and negotiating investments and related mortgage financing on our behalf are included in Due to affiliates (Note 3). This fee, together with its accrued interest, is payable in three equal annual installments on the first business day of the fiscal quarter immediately following the fiscal quarter in which an investment is made, and the first business day of the corresponding fiscal quarter in each of the subsequent two fiscal years. The timing of the payment of such fees is subject to the preferred return criterion, a non-compounded cumulative distribution return of 5% per annum (based initially on our invested capital).

Share Repurchases — Share repurchases are recorded as a reduction of common stock par value and additional paid-in capital under our redemption plan, pursuant to which we may elect to redeem shares at the request of our stockholders, subject to certain exceptions, conditions, and limitations. The maximum amount of shares purchasable by us in any period depends on a number of factors and is at the discretion of our board of directors. 

Noncontrolling Interests — We account for the special general partner interest in our Operating Partnership as a noncontrolling interest (Note 3). The special general partner interest entitles WPC–CPA:18 Holdings, LLC (“CPA:18 Holdings” or the “Special General Partner”), to cash distributions and, in the event there is a termination or non-renewal of the advisory agreement, redemption rights. Cash distributions to the Special General Partner are accounted for as an allocation to net income attributable to noncontrolling interest.

Revenue Recognition Revenue is recognized when, or as, control of promised goods or services is transferred to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. At contract inception, we assess the services promised in our contracts with customers and identify a performance obligation for each promise to transfer to the customer a good or service (or bundle of goods or services) that is distinct. To identify the performance obligations, we consider all of the services promised in the contract regardless of whether they are explicitly stated or are implied by customary business practices.

We lease real estate to others primarily on a triple-net leased basis, whereby the tenant is generally responsible for operating expenses relating to the property, including property taxes, insurance, maintenance, repairs, and improvements. Operating property revenues are comprised of lease and other revenues from our self-storage and multi-family portfoliosother operating properties (including multi-family residential and student housing operating properties)and multi-family residential properties, which we sold our last multi-family residential property in January 2019).

Substantially all of our leases provide for either scheduled rent increases, periodic rent adjustments based on formulas indexed to changes in the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) or similar indices in the jurisdiction where the property is located, or the lease may provide for participation in gross revenues of the tenant above a stated level (“percentage rent”). CPI-based adjustments are contingent on future events and are therefore not included as minimum rent in straight-line rent calculations. We recognize rents from percentage rents as reported by the lessees, which is after the level of sales requiring a rental payment to us is reached. Percentage rents were insignificant for the periods presented. 

For our operating leases, we record real estate at cost less accumulated depreciation; we recognize future minimum rental revenue on a straight-line basis over the non-cancelable lease term of the related leases and charge expenses to operations as incurred (Note 4).

We record leases accounted for under the direct financing method as a net investment in direct financing leases (Note 5). The net investment is equal to the cost of the leased assets. The difference between the cost and the gross investment, which includes the residual value of the leased asset and the future minimum rents, is unearned income. We defer and amortize unearned income to income over the lease term so as to produce a constant periodic rate of return on our net investment in the lease.

Asset Retirement Obligations — Asset retirement obligations relate to the legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development, and/or normal operation of a long-lived asset. The fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation is recorded in the period in which it is incurred and the cost of such liability is recorded as an increase in the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset by the same amount. The liability is accreted each period and included in Property expenses in the consolidated financial statements and the capitalized cost is depreciated over the estimated remaining life of the related long-lived asset. Revisions to estimated retirement obligations result in adjustments to the related capitalized asset and corresponding liability.
 


CPA:18 – Global 2019 10-K73


Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements


In order to determine the fair value of the asset retirement obligations, we make certain estimates and assumptions including, among other things, projected cash flows, the borrowing interest rate, and an assessment of market conditions that could significantly impact the estimated fair value. These estimates and assumptions are subjective.

Interest Capitalized in Connection with Real Estate Under Construction Interest directly related to development projects is capitalized. We consider a development project as substantially completed upon the completion of improvements. If discrete portions of a project are substantially completed and occupied and other portions have not yet reached that stage, the substantially completed portions are accounted for separately. We allocate costs incurred between the portions under construction and the portions substantially completed and only capitalize those costs associated with the portion under construction. We determine an interest rate to be applied for capitalizing interest based on a blended rate of our debt obligations.

Depreciation — We compute depreciation of building and related improvements using the straight-line method over the estimated remaining useful lives of the properties (not to exceed 40 years) and furniture, fixtures, and equipment (generally up to seven years). We compute depreciation of tenant improvements using the straight-line method over the lesser of the remaining term of the lease or the estimated useful life of the asset.

Foreign Currency Translation and Transaction Gains and Losses — We have interests in international real estate investments primarily in Europe, for which the functional currency is either the euro, the British pound sterling, or the Norwegian krone. We perform the translation from these currencies to the U.S. dollar for assets and liabilities using current exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and for revenue and expense accounts using a weighted-average exchange rate during the year. We report the gains and losses resulting from this translation as a component of Other comprehensive (loss) income (loss) in equity. These translation gains and losses are released to net income (loss) when we have substantially exited from all investments in the related currency. 

A transaction gain or loss (measured from the transaction date or the most recent intervening balance sheet date, whichever is later), realized upon settlement of a foreign currency transaction generally will be included in net income (loss) for the period in which the transaction is settled. Also, foreign currency intercompany transactions that are scheduled for settlement, consisting primarily of accrued interest and the translation to the reporting currency of short-term subordinated intercompany debt with scheduled principal payments, are included in the determination of net income (loss).

Intercompany foreign currency transactions of a long-term nature (that is, settlement is not planned or anticipated in the foreseeable future), in which the entities to the transactions are consolidated or accounted for by the equity method in our consolidated financial statements, are not included in net income (loss) but are reported as a component of Other comprehensive income (loss) in equity.

Net realized gains or (losses) are recognized on foreign currency transactions in connection with the transfer of cash from foreign operations of subsidiaries to the parent company. We recognized net realized gains of $4.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2018, and realized losses of $2.6$0.6 million, and $0.5$2.6 million, for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2017, respectively, and 2016, respectively.net realized gains of $4.7 million and for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Derivative Instruments — We measure derivative instruments at fair value and record them as assets or liabilities, depending on our rights or obligations under the applicable derivative contract. Derivatives that are not designated as hedges must be adjusted to fair value through earnings. For a derivativederivatives designated and that qualifiedqualify as a cash flow hedge, the effective portion ofhedges, the change in fair value of the derivative is recognized in Other comprehensive income (loss) until the hedged item istransaction affects earnings.

Amounts are reclassified out of Other comprehensive (loss) income (loss) into earnings (within Gain on sale of real estate, net, in our consolidated statements of income) when the hedged investment is either sold or substantially liquidated. In accordance with fair value measurement guidance, counterparty credit risk is measured on a net portfolio position basis.

Income Taxes — We have elected to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code. In order to maintain our qualification as a REIT, we are required, among other things, to distribute at least 90% of our REIT net taxable income to our stockholders and meet certain tests regarding the nature of our income and assets. As a REIT, we are not subject to federal income taxes on our income and gains that we distribute to our stockholders as long as we satisfy certain requirements, principally relating to the nature of our income and the level of our distributions, as well as other factors. We believe that we have operated, and we intend to continue to operate, in a manner that allows us to continue to qualify as a REIT.

We conduct business in various states and municipalities primarily within North America and Europe and, as a result, we or one or more of our subsidiaries file income tax returns in the United States federal jurisdiction and various state and certain foreign jurisdictions. As a result, we are subject to certain foreign, state, and local taxes and a provision for such taxes is included in the consolidated financial statements.

We elect to treat certain of our corporate subsidiaries as taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRSs”). In general, a TRS may perform additional services for our tenants and generally may engage in any real estate or non-real estate-related business (except for the operation or management of health care facilities or lodging facilities or providing to any person, under a franchise, license or otherwise, rights to any brand name under which any lodging facility or health care facility is operated). These operations are subject to corporate federal, state, local, and foreign income taxes, as applicable. Our financial statements are prepared on a consolidated basis including TRSs and include a provision for current and deferred taxes on these operations.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements


Significant judgment is required in determining our tax provision and in evaluating our tax positions. We establish tax reserves based on a benefit recognition model, which could result in a greater amount of benefit (and a lower amount of reserve) being initially recognized in certain circumstances. Provided that the tax position is deemed more likely than not of being sustained, we recognize the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being ultimately realized upon settlement. We derecognize the tax position when it is no longer more likely than not of being sustained.
 
Our earnings and profits, which determine the taxability of distributions to stockholders, differ from net income reported for financial reporting purposes due primarily to differences in depreciation and timing differences of rent recognition and certain expense deductions, for federal income tax purposes.

We recognize deferred income taxes in certain of our subsidiaries taxable in the United States or in foreign jurisdictions. Deferred income taxes are generally the result of temporary differences (items that are treated differently for tax purposes than for U.S. GAAP purposes as described in Note 12). In addition, deferred tax assets arise from unutilized tax net operating losses, generated in prior years. Deferred income taxes are computed under the asset and liability method. The asset and liability method requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between tax bases and financial bases of assets and liabilities. We provide a valuation allowance against our deferred income tax assets when we believe that it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the deferred income tax asset may not be realized. Whenever a change in circumstances causes a change in the estimated realizability of the related deferred income tax asset, the resulting increase or decrease in the valuation allowance is included in deferred income tax expense (benefit) (Note 12).

Income (Loss) Per Share — We have a simple equity capital structure with only common stock outstanding. As a result, income (loss) per share, as presented, represents both basic and dilutive per-share amounts for all periods presented in the consolidated financial statements. Income (loss) per basic and diluted share of common stock is calculated by dividing Net income (loss) attributable to CPA:18 – Global by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding during the year. The allocation of Net income (loss) attributable to CPA:18 – Global is calculated based on the weighted-average shares outstanding for Class A common stock and Class C common stock for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018, 2017, and 2016,2017, respectively.

Use of Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and the disclosure of contingent amounts in our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Pronouncements Adopted as of December 31, 2018

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). ASU 2014-09 is a comprehensive new revenue recognition model requiring a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount reflecting the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 does not apply to our lease revenues, which constitute a majority of our revenues, but will primarily apply to revenues generated from our operating properties. We adopted this guidance for our interim and annual periods beginning January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective transition method applied to any contracts not completed as of that date. There were no changes to the prior period presentations of revenue. Results of operations for reporting periods beginning January 1, 2018 are presented under Topic 606. The adoption of Topic 606 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments — Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. ASU 2016-01 requires all equity investments (other than those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value, with changes in the fair value recognized through net income. We adopted this guidance for our interim and annual periods beginning January 1, 2018. The adoption of ASU 2016-01 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements


In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. ASU 2016-15 intends to reduce diversity in practice for certain cash flow classifications, including, but not limited to (i) debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs, (ii) contingent consideration payments made after a business combination, (iii) proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims, and (iv) distributions received from equity method investees. We retrospectively adopted this guidance for our interim and annual periods beginning January 1, 2018. The adoption of ASU 2016-15 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash. ASU 2016-18 intends to reduce diversity in practice for the classification and presentation of changes in restricted cash on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-18 requires that the statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Therefore, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. We retrospectively adopted this guidance for our interim and annual periods beginning January 1, 2018. See Restricted Cash above for additional information.

In February 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-05, Other Income — Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets (Subtopic 610-20): Clarifying the Scope of Asset Derecognition Guidance andRecent Accounting for Partial Sales of Nonfinancial Assets. ASU 2017-05 clarifies that the scope and application of ASC 610-20 includes the sale or transfer of nonfinancial assets and financial assets that meet the definition of nonfinancial assets to non-customers in substance, as well as partial sales. Nonfinancial assets within the scope of this Subtopic include the sale of land, buildings and intangible assets. The Subtopic defines the term “in substance nonfinancial asset,” in part, as a financial asset promised to a counterparty in a contract if substantially all of the fair value of the assets (recognized and unrecognized) that are promised to the counterparty in the contract is concentrated in nonfinancial assets. It also clarifies that nonfinancial assets within the scope of Subtopic 610-20 may include nonfinancial assets transferred within a legal entity to a counterparty. For example, a parent company may transfer control of nonfinancial assets by transferring ownership interests in a consolidated subsidiary. Additionally, the Subtopic provides guidance on the recognition of gains and losses on the sale or transfer of these nonfinancial and in substance nonfinancial assets when control is transferred. We adopted this guidance for our interim and annual periods beginning January 1, 2018 and applied the modified retrospective transition method (applicable to any contracts not completed as of that date). The adoption of ASU 2017-05 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework — Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. ASU 2018-13 removes, modifies, and adds certain fair value disclosure requirements. We adopted this guidance for our interim period beginning July 1, 2018. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.Pronouncements

In February 2016, the FASBFinancial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). . ASU 2016-02 modifies the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of leases for both parties to a contract: the lessee and the lessor. ASU 2016-02 provides new guidelines that change the accounting for leasing arrangements for lessees, whereby their rights and obligations under substantially all leases, existing and new, would beare capitalized and recorded on the balance sheet. For lessors, however, the new standard remains equivalent togenerally consistent with existing guidance, but has been updated to align with certain changes to the lessee model and the new revenue recognition standard.

ASU 2016-02 provides two transition methods. The first transition method allows for application of the new model at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented. Under the second transition method, comparative periods would not be restated,2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with any cumulative effect adjustments recognized in the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. In addition, a practical expedient was recently issued by the FASB that allows lessors to combine non-lease components with related lease components if certain conditions are met.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements


The ASU eliminates specialized guidance for real estate sale and leaseback transactions and will now apply to both lessees and lessors. To qualify as a sale and leaseback transaction, certain criteria will have to be met, including qualifying as a sale (applying ASU 2014-09) and the transfer of control of the asset by the seller-lessee. Additionally, a real estate sale and leaseback arrangement that includes a seller-lessee repurchase option will result in a failed sale. As the buyer-lessor, where control is not transferred, the transaction will have to be accounted for as a financial asset instead of the purchase of a real estate asset. We do not anticipate having a significant amount of failed sales for sale and leaseback transactions as a result of the new sale and leaseback guidance.

Additionally, under the ASU, if a lessor determines subsequent to the commencement date of the lease that collectability of lease payments under an operating lease is not probable, the lessor is required to recognize the difference between income recognized up to that point and the income that would have been recognized on a cash basis as a reduction of current period lease income. This differs from the current guidance, where the lessor would recognize the effects of a change in the assessment of collectability as an addition to the bad debt reserve for amounts accrued at the time the collectability assessment changed. As a result, we expect any such adjustments to be recorded to lease revenues as opposed to property expenses, which is where they are currently recorded.Topic 606).

We will adoptadopted this guidance for our interim and annual periods beginning January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective method, applying the transition provisions at the beginning of the period of adoption rather than at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented. We elected the package of practical expedients as permitted under the transition guidance, which allowed us to not reassess whether arrangements contain leases, lease classification, and expectinitial direct costs. The adoption of the lease standard resulted in a cumulative effect adjustment recognized of $1.1 million in the opening balance of retained earnings as of January 1, 2019.

As a Lessee: we recognized $36.7 million of operating lease ROU assets and $9.5 million of corresponding lease liabilities for certain operating land lease arrangements for which we were the lessee on January 1, 2019, which included reclassifying below market land lease intangible assets, above market land lease intangible liabilities, and prepaid rent as a component of the ROU asset (a net reclassification of $27.2 million). See Note 4 for additional disclosures on the presentation of these amounts in our consolidated balance sheets.

ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the second transition method.lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments under the lease. We determine if an arrangement contains a lease at contract inception and determine the classification of the lease at commencement. Operating lease ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. We do not include renewal options in the lease term when calculating the lease liability unless we are reasonably certain we will also electexercise the option. Variable lease payments are excluded from the ROU assets and lease liabilities and are recognized in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred. Our variable lease payments consist of increases as a result of the CPI or other comparable indices, taxes and maintenance costs. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

The implicit rate within our operating leases is generally not determinable and, as a result, we use our incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date to determine the present value of lease payments. The determination of our incremental borrowing rate requires judgment. We determine our incremental borrowing rate for each lease using estimated baseline mortgage rates. These baseline rates are determined based on a review of current mortgage debt market activity for benchmark securities across domestic and international markets, utilizing a yield curve. The rates are then adjusted for various factors, including level of collateralization and lease term.

As a Lessor: a practical expedient allows lessors to combine non-lease components (lease arrangements that include common area maintenance services) with related lease components (lease revenues), if both the timing and pattern of transfer are the same for the non-lease component and related lease component, the lease component is the predominant component, and the lease component would otherwise be classified as an operating lease. We elected the practical expedientexpedient. For (i) operating lease arrangements involving real estate that include common area maintenance services and apply it consistently to(ii) all leased real estate. ASU 2016-02 will require extensive quantitativeestate arrangements that include real estate taxes and qualitative disclosures.insurance costs, we present these amounts within Lease revenues — net-leased in our consolidated statements of income. We record amounts reimbursed by the lessee in the period that the applicable expenses are incurred.

Under ASU 2016-02, lessors willare allowed to only capitalize incremental direct leasing costs. Historically, we haveWe were not capitalized internal legal and leasing costs incurred, and thus do not expect to bematerially impacted by thethis change.

We expect to recognize a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability for certain operating land lease arrangements for which we are the lessee. The right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability are expected to be less than 1.5% of total assets and less than 1.0% of total liabilities, respectively. Additionally, for lease arrangements that include common area maintenance services (subject to certain criteria being met), real estate taxes, and insurance where we are the lessor, we expect to present these amounts within lease revenues in our consolidated statements of income.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Instruments — Credit Losses. ASU 2016-13 introduces a new model for estimating credit losses based on current expected credit losses for certain types of financial instruments, including loans receivable, held-to-maturity debt securities, and net investments in direct financing leases, amongst other financial instruments. ASU 2016-13 also modifies the impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities and expands the disclosure requirements regarding an entity’s assumptions, models, and methods for estimating the allowance for losses. ASU 2016-13 will be effective for public business entities in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early application of the guidance permitted.

Asset Management Fees

Pursuant to the advisory agreement, our Advisor is entitled to an annual asset management fee ranging from 0.5% to 1.5%, depending on the type of investment and based on the average market value or average equity value, as applicable, of our investments. Asset management fees are payable in cash and/or shares of our Class A common stock at our option, after consultation with our Advisor. If our Advisor receives all or a portion of its fees in shares, the number of shares issued is determined by dividing the dollar amount of fees by our most recently published estimated net asset value per share (“NAV”) per Class A share, which was $8.73$8.67 as of September 30, 2018. For the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017, and 2016,2019.

Asset management fees are included in Property expenses in the consolidated financial statements.

Annual Distribution and Shareholder Servicing Fee

Through June 30, 2017, Carey Financial, the wholly-owned subsidiary of our Advisor, was entitled to receive an annual distribution and shareholder servicing fee from us in connection with our Class C common stock, which it may have re-allowed to selected dealers. Beginning with the payment for the third quarter of 2017 (paid during October 2017), the annual distribution and shareholder servicing fees are paid directly to selected dealers rather than through Carey Financial. The amount of the annual distribution and shareholder servicing fee is 1.0% of the most recently published NAV of our Class C common stock, which was $8.73$8.67 as of September 30, 2018.2019. The annual distribution and shareholder servicing fee accrues daily and is payable quarterly in arrears.

Acquisition and Disposition Fees

Our Advisor receives acquisition fees, a portion of which is payable upon acquisition, while the remaining portion is subordinated to a preferred return of a non-compounded cumulative distribution of 5.0% per annum (based initially on our invested capital). The initial acquisition fee and subordinated acquisition fee are 2.5% and 2.0%, respectively, of the aggregate total cost of our portion of each investment for all investments, other than those in readily marketable real estate securities purchased in the secondary market, for which our Advisor will not receive any acquisition fees. Deferred acquisition fees are scheduled to be paid in three equal annual installments following the quarter in which a property was purchased and are subject to the preferred return described above. The preferred return was achieved as of the years ended December 31, 20182019 and 2017.2018. Unpaid installments of deferred acquisition fees are included in Due to affiliates in the consolidated financial statements and bear interest at an annual rate of 2.0%.

Capitalized funds include accrued costs of $1.1 million, which is a non-cash investing activity.

Capitalized Funds During 2017

On December 20, 2017, we purchased 95% of the shares in the partially completed hotel located in Munich, Germany from the third-party developer for $9.6 million, which was based on the exchange rate of the euro on the date of the acquisition and is in addition to the $67.2 million financing provided to the developer in 2015.

On May 17, 2017, we made our final payment to the developer for a development project located in Eindhoven, the Netherlands for $18.7 million, which was based on the exchange rate of the euro on the date of the acquisition. Additionally, we also recorded $10.4 million of deferred tax liabilities in connection with our investment in this project. Simultaneous with the payment to the developer, the project was completed and placed into service.

During the year ended December 31, 2017, construction commenced on one of our previous development projects. The net investment of $10.7 million was reclassified to Real estate under construction from Net investments in direct financing leases during the year ended December 31, 2017.

In addition, we entered into the following student housing development projects during the year ended December 31, 2017:

$7.3 million for a student housing development project located in Malaga, Spain on October 17, 2017 (amounts based on the exchange rate of the euro on the date of acquisition). The student housing property is currently under construction and is projected to be completed in September 2020. Upon completion of this project, our total investment is currently expected to be approximately $44.0 million. As there is insufficient equity at risk, the investment is considered to be a VIE;
$7.3 million to enter into a ground lease for a joint venture student housing development project with a third party located in Swansea, United Kingdom on November 24, 2017 (amounts are based on the exchange rate of the British pound sterling on the date of acquisition). The acquisition is included in Other assets, net on our consolidated balance sheet as this amount was a prepayment of rent and construction has not yet commenced. We also incurred acquisition-related costs of $3.1 million that were capitalized and are included in Real estate under construction on our consolidated balance sheet. We acquired 97% of the equity of this investment at closing. The student housing development project is currently projected to be completed in March 2021. Upon completion of this project, our total investment is currently expected to be approximately $50.6 million. As the joint venture has insufficient equity at risk and we control this development project, this joint venture is considered to be a VIE that we consolidate.

Capitalized Interest

Capitalized interest includes interest incurred during construction, as well as amortization of the mortgage discount and deferred financing costs, which totaled $7.1 million, $5.4 million, and $4.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018, and December 31, 2017, respectively, and is a non-cash investing activity.

Placed into Service

On July 2, 2019, upon substantial completion, we placed into service the student housing property located in Barcelona, Spain. As a result, we reclassified $31.4 million from Real estate under construction to Operating real estate — Land, buildings and improvements on our consolidated financial statements. Subsequent to the completion of this project, on December 20, 2019, we entered into the Framework Agreement with a third party to net-lease this property (Note 14). As such, we reclassified $30.8 million from Operating real estate — Land, buildings and improvements to Real estate — Land, buildings and improvements (Note 14). Amounts based on the exchange rate of the euro at the date of reclassification.

During the year ended December 31, 2018, a total of $139.3 million wasupon substantial completion, we placed into service principally related to the substantial completion of two student housing properties located in the United Kingdom and the remaining portion of a net-leased hotel placed(placed into service in 2017,2017) totaling $139.3 million, which is a non-cash investing activity.

Ghana Settlement During 2018

On February 19, 2016, we entered into a joint venture development project with a third party for a university complex development site located in Accra, Ghana (“Ghana Joint Venture”). At the time of the investment, the Ghana Joint Venture, which we consolidated, entered into an agreement for third party financing in an amount up to $41.0 million from the Overseas Private Investment Corporation, a developmental finance institution of the U.S. Government. The transaction, including the funding of this loan, was subject to the tenant obtaining a letter of credit, which did not occur and caused the tenant to default under its concession agreement with the Ghana Joint Venture’s subsidiary.subsidiary (“Ghana Special Purpose Vehicle (“SPV”)). The concession agreement effectively functioned as a ground lease and gave us the right to construct the university complex. As a result, the Ghana Joint Venture’s subsidiarySPV terminated the concession agreement in May 2018 and no longer pursued the completion of this project.

On December 17, 2018, our Ghana Joint Venture entered into a settlement agreement with its insurer relating to payment of a claim under its political risk insurance policy. We received payment of $45.6 million, net of transaction costs, on December 27, 2018, resulting in a gain on insurance proceeds of $16.6 million (inclusive of a tax benefit related to the reversal of deferred tax liabilities and amounts attributable to noncontrolling interests of $3.5 million and $2.3 million, respectively) and is included in Other gains and (losses) in the consolidated financial statements. AsThe Ghana SPV no longer has rights to the tenant default damages as part of the overall settlement, the Ghana Joint Venture transferred its right to collect for tenant default damages to the insurer, excluding its claim toother than a $4.3 million security deposit from the tenant that is currently included in Accounts receivable and other assets, net as well as Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities. Additionally, while there is some uncertainty of collectability of our value added tax (“VAT”) receivable of $2.7 million to be refunded from the Ghanaian government, we continue to believe the full recovery of the VAT refund is probable and we will continuously monitor and assess the probability of collectability of this receivable.

Equity Investment in Real Estate

We classify distributions received from equity method investments using the cumulative earnings approach. Distributions received are considered returns on the investment and classified as cash inflows from operating activities. If, however, the investor’s cumulative distributions received, less distributions received in prior periods determined to be returns of investment, exceeds cumulative equity in earnings recognized, the excess is considered a return of investment and is classified as cash inflows from investing activities.

Credit Quality of Finance Receivables
 
We generally invest in facilities that we believe are critical to a tenant’s business and therefore have a lower risk of tenant default. At both December 31, 20182019 and 2017,2018, we had no significant finance receivable balances that were past due and we had not established any allowances for credit losses. Additionally, there were no modifications of finance receivables during the years ended December 31, 20182019 or 2017. 2018.

We evaluate the credit quality of our finance receivables utilizing an internal five-point credit rating scale, with one representing the highest credit quality and five representing the lowest. A credit quality of one through three indicates a range of investment grade to stable. A credit quality of four through five indicates inclusion on the watch list to risk of default. The credit quality evaluation of our finance receivables is updated quarterly.

A summary of our finance receivables by internal credit quality rating is as follows (dollars in thousands):

(a)
In connection with our adoption of ASU 2016-02 (Note 2), in the first quarter of 2019, we prospectively reclassified below-market ground lease intangible assets and above-market ground lease intangible liabilities to be a component of ROU assets. These amounts are included within In-place lease and other intangibles in our consolidated balance sheets.

Net amortization of intangibles, including the effect of foreign currency translation, was $20.4 million, $18.4 million, $29.3 million, and $40.2$29.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018, 2017, and 2016,2017, respectively. Amortization of below-market rent and above-market rent intangibles is recorded as an adjustment to Rental income, amortization of below-market and above-market ground lease intangibles is included in Property expenses, andincome; amortization of in-place lease intangibles is included in Depreciation and amortization expenseexpense; and amortization of above-market ground lease and below-market ground lease intangibles was included in Property expenses, excluding reimbursable tenant costs, prior to the reclassification of above-market ground lease and below-market ground lease intangibles to ROU assets in the consolidated financial statements.first quarter of 2019, as described above and in Note 2.

Based on the intangible assets and liabilities recorded at as of December 31, 2018,2019, scheduled annual net amortization of intangibles for the next five calendar years and thereafter is as follows (in thousands):

Note 7. Fair Value Measurements
 
The fair value of an asset is defined as the exit price, which is the amount that would either be received when an asset is sold or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The guidance establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers are: Level 1, for which quoted market prices for identical instruments are available in active markets, such as money market funds, equity securities, and U.S. Treasury securities; Level 2, for which there are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the instrument, such as certain derivative instruments including interest rate caps, interest rate swaps, foreign currency forward contracts and foreign currency collars; and Level 3, for securities that do not fall into Level 1 or Level 2 and for which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring us to develop our own assumptions.

Items Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The methods and assumptions described below were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument. For significant Level 3 items, we have also provided the unobservable inputs.

Derivative Assets and Liabilities— Our derivative assets and liabilities, which are included in Accounts receivable and other assets, net and Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities, respectively, in the consolidated financial statements, are comprised of foreign currency forward contracts, interest rate swaps, interest rate caps, and foreign currency collars (Note 8).

The valuation of our derivative instruments is determined using a 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, as well as observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves, spot and forward rates, and implied volatilities. We incorporate 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 instruments 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. These derivative instruments were measured at fair value using readily observable market inputs, such as quotations on interest rates, and were classified as Level 2 as these instruments are custom, over-the-counter contracts with various bank counterparties that are not traded in an active market.

We did not have any transfers into or out of Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 measurements during the years ended December 31, 20182019 and 2017.2018. Gains and losses (realized and unrealized) recognized on items measured at fair value on a recurring basis included in earnings are reported within Other gains and (losses) on our consolidated financial statements.
 
Our other financial instruments had the following carrying values and fair values as of the dates shown (dollars in thousands):

(b)We determined the estimated fair value of our Non-recourse mortgage loans, net and Bonds payable,secured debt, net using a discounted cash flow model that estimates the present value of the future loan payments by discounting such payments at current estimated market interest rates. The estimated market interest rates take into account interest rate risk and the value of the underlying collateral, which includes quality of the collateral, the credit quality of the tenant/obligor, and the time until maturity.
(c)We determined the estimated fair value of our Notes receivable using a discounted cash flow model with rates that take into account the credit of the tenant/obligor, order of payment tranches, and interest rate risk. We also considered the value of the underlying collateral, taking into account the quality of the collateral, the credit quality of the tenant/obligor, the time until maturity, and the current market interest rate.

We estimated that our other financial assets and liabilities (excluding net investments in direct financing leases) had fair values that approximated their carrying values atas of both December 31, 20182019 and 2017.

Note 8. Risk Management and Use of Derivative Financial Instruments
 
Risk Management
 
In the normal course of our ongoing business operations, we encounter economic risk. There are four main components of economic risk that impact us: interest rate risk, credit risk, market risk, and foreign currency risk. We are primarily subject to interest rate risk on our interest-bearing liabilities. Credit risk is the risk of default on our operations and our tenants’ inability or unwillingness to make contractually required payments. Market risk includes changes in the value of our properties and related loans, as well as changes in the value of our other investments due to changes in interest rates or other market factors. We own international investments, primarily in Europe, and are subject to risks associated with fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates.
 
Derivative Financial Instruments
 
When we use derivative instruments, it is generally to reduce our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rate movements. We have not entered into, and do not plan to enter into financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. In addition to entering into derivative instruments on our own behalf, we may also be a party to derivative instruments that are embedded in other contracts. The primary risks related to our use of derivative instruments include: (i) a counterparty to a hedging arrangement defaulting on its obligation and (ii) a downgrade in the credit quality of a counterparty to such an extent that our ability to sell or assign our side of the hedging transaction is impaired. While we seek to mitigate these risks by entering into hedging arrangements with large financial institutions that we deem to be creditworthy, it is possible that our hedging transactions, which are intended to limit losses, could adversely affect our earnings. Furthermore, if we terminate a hedging arrangement, we may be obligated to pay certain costs, such as transaction or breakage fees. We have established policies and procedures for risk assessment, as well as the approval, reporting, and monitoring of derivative financial instrument activities.
 
We measure derivative instruments at fair value and record them as assets or liabilities, depending on our rights or obligations under the applicable derivative contract. Derivatives that are not designated as hedges must be adjusted to fair value through earnings. For a derivativederivatives designated and that qualified,qualify as a cash flow hedge, the effective portion ofhedges, the change in fair value of the derivative is recognized in Other comprehensive (loss) income until the hedged item istransaction affects earnings. Gains and losses on the cash flow hedges representing hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness are recognized in earnings.earnings over the life of the hedge on a systematic and rational basis, as documented at hedge inception in accordance with our accounting policy election. Such gains and losses are recorded within Other gains and (losses) or Interest expense in our consolidated statements of income. The earnings recognition of excluded components is presented in the same line item as the hedged transactions. For a derivativederivatives designated and that qualified,qualify as a net investment hedge, the effective portion of the change in itsthe fair value and/or the net settlement of the derivative is reported in Other comprehensive (loss) income as part of the cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment. The ineffective portionAmounts are reclassified out of Other comprehensive income into earnings when the change in fair value of any derivativehedged net investment is immediately recognized in earnings.either sold or substantially liquidated.

All derivative transactions with an individual counterparty are governed by a master International Swap and Derivatives Association agreement, which can be considered as a master netting arrangement; however, we report all our derivative instruments on a gross basis on our consolidated financial statements. At both December 31, 20182019 and 2017,2018, no cash collateral had been posted ornor received for any of our derivative positions.

Interest Rate Swaps and Caps

We are exposed to the impact of interest rate changes primarily through our borrowing activities. To limit this exposure, we attempt to obtain mortgage financing on a long-term, fixed-rate basis. However, from time to time, we or our joint investment partners have obtained, and may in the future obtain, variable-rate non-recourse mortgage loanssecured debt and, as a result, we have entered into, and may continue to enter into interest rate swap agreements or interest rate cap agreements with counterparties. Interest rate swaps, which effectively convert the variable-rate debt service obligations of a loan to a fixed rate, are agreements in which one party exchanges a stream of interest payments for a counterparty’s stream of cash flow over a specific period. The notional, or face, amount on which the swaps are based is not exchanged. Interest rate caps limit the effective borrowing rate of variable-rate debt obligations while allowing participants to share in downward shifts in interest rates. Our objective in using these derivatives is to limit our exposure to interest rate movements.

(b)This interest rate swap does not qualify for hedge accounting; however, it does protect against fluctuations in interest rates related to the underlying variable-rate debt.

Foreign Currency Contracts
 
We are exposed to foreign currency exchange rate movements, primarily in the euro and, to a lesser extent, the Norwegian krone. We manage foreign currency exchange rate movements by generally placing our debt service obligation on an investment in the same currency as the tenant’s rental obligation to us. This reduces our overall exposure to the net cash flow from that investment. However, we are subject to foreign currency exchange rate movements to the extent that there is a difference in the timing and amount of the rental obligation and the debt service. Realized and unrealized gains and losses recognized in earnings related to foreign currency transactions are included in Other gains and (losses) in the consolidated financial statements.

In order to hedge certain of our foreign currency cash flow exposures, we enter into foreign currency forward contracts and collars. A foreign currency forward contract is a commitment to deliver a certain amount of currency at a certain price on a specific date in the future. By entering into forward contracts and holding them to maturity, we are locked into a future currency exchange rate for the term of the contract. A foreign currency collar guarantees that the exchange rate of the currency will not fluctuate beyond the range of the options’ strike prices. Our foreign currency forward contracts and foreign currency collars have maturities of 74 months or less.

Credit Risk-Related Contingent Features

We measure our credit exposure on a counterparty basis as the net positive aggregate estimated fair value of our derivatives, net of any collateral received. No collateral was received as of December 31, 2018.2019. At December 31, 2018,2019, our total credit exposure was $3.3$2.1 million and the maximum exposure to any single counterparty was $1.9$1.4 million.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements


Some of the agreements we have with our derivative counterparties contain cross-default provisions that could trigger a declaration of default on our derivative obligations if we default, or are capable of being declared in default, on certain of our indebtedness. AtAs of December 31, 2018,2019, we had not been declared in default on any of our derivative obligations. The estimated fair value of our derivatives in a net liability position was $2.1 million and $1.3 million as of December 31, 2019 and $4.4 million at December 31, 2018, and December 31, 2017, respectively, which included accrued interest and any nonperformance risk adjustments. If we had breached any of these provisions atas of December 31, 20182019 or 2017,2018, we could have been required to settle our obligations under these agreements at their aggregate termination value of $1.4$2.2 million and $4.5$1.4 million, respectively.

timing differences generated by differences in the GAAP basis and the tax basis of assets such as those related to capitalized acquisition costs, straight-line rent, prepaid rents, and intangible assets; and
tax net operating losses in foreign jurisdictions that may be realized in future periods if we generate sufficient taxable income.

AtAs of December 31, 20182019 and 2017,2018, we had net operating losses in foreign jurisdictions of approximately $41.9$41.5 million and $25.3$41.9 million, respectively. Our net operating losses will begin to expire in 20192020 in certain foreign jurisdictions. The utilization of net operating losses may be subject to certain limitations under the tax laws of the relevant jurisdiction.

Note 13. Property Dispositions

We have an active capital recycling program, with a goal of extending the average lease term of our portfolio through reinvestment, improving portfolio credit quality through dispositions and acquisitions of assets, increasing the asset criticality factor in our portfolio, and/or executing strategic dispositions of our net-leased and operating assets. We may decide to dispose of a property due to vacancy, tenants electing not to renew their leases, tenant insolvency, or lease rejection in the bankruptcy process. In such cases, we assess whether we can obtain the highest value from the property by selling it, as opposed to re-leasing it. We may also sell a property when we receive an unsolicited offer or negotiate a price for an investment that is consistent with our strategy for that investment. When it is appropriate to do so, we classify the property as an asset held for sale on our consolidated balance sheet.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.
 
None.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our disclosure controls and procedures include internal controls and other procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in this and other reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“the Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the required time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms; and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. It should be noted that no system of controls can provide complete assurance of achieving a company’s objectives and that future events may impact the effectiveness of a system of controls.

Our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, after conducting an evaluation, together with members of our management, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 20182019, have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were effective as of December 31, 20182019 at a reasonable level of assurance.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
 
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate.
 
We assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2018.2019. In making this assessment, we used criteria set forth in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on our assessment, we concluded that, as of December 31, 2018,2019, our internal control over financial reporting is effective based on those criteria.
 
This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to SEC rules that permit us to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
