WASHINGTON REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBERJune 30, 20172021
(UNAUDITED)


NOTE 1:NATURE OF BUSINESS


Washington Real Estate Investment Trust (“Washington REIT”WashREIT”), a Maryland real estate investment trust, is a self-administered equity real estate investment trust, successor to a trust organized in 1960. Our business consists of the ownership and operation of income producing real estate properties in the greater Washington, DC metro region. We own a diversified portfolio of multifamily and commercial (office and retail) properties. Within these notes to the financial statements, we refer to the three months ended June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020 as the “2021 Quarter” and the “2020 Quarter,” respectively, and the six months ended June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020 as the “2021 Period” and the “2020 Period,” respectively. During the 2021 Quarter, we executed a purchase and sale agreement for the sale of 12 office buildings, multifamily buildingsproperties (see note 3). Subsequent to the 2021 Quarter, we executed a purchase and sale agreement for the sale of all of our remaining 8 retail properties (see note 3). Both these office and retail centers.properties met the criteria for classification as held for sale as of June 30, 2021 and are classified as discontinued operations. The remaining office property, Watergate 600, does not meet the qualitative or quantitative criteria for a reportable segment (see note 9). The retail properties have not been a reportable segment since 2019. The dispositions of office and retail properties are part of a strategic shift away from the commercial sector to the multifamily sector which simplifies our portfolio to 1 reportable segment (multifamily) (the “strategic transformation”).


Federal Income Taxes


We believe that we qualify as a Real Estate Investment Trustreal estate investment trust (“REIT”) under Sections 856-860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and intend to continue to qualify as such. To maintain our status as a REIT, we are, among other things, required to distribute 90% of our REIT taxable income (which is, generally, our ordinary taxable income, with certain modifications),(determined before the deduction for dividends paid and excluding any net capital gains and any deductions for dividends paid to our shareholdersshareholders) on an annual basis. When selling a property, we generally have the option of (a) reinvesting the sales proceeds of property sold in a way that allows us to defer recognition of some or all taxable gain realized on the sale, (b) distributing gains to the shareholders with no tax to us or (c) treating net long-term capital gains as having been distributed to our shareholders, paying the tax on the gain deemed distributed and allocating the tax paid as a credit to our shareholders.


Generally, and subject to our ongoing qualification as a REIT, no provisions for income taxes are necessary except for taxes on undistributed taxable income and taxes on the income generated by our taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRSs”). Our TRSs are subject to corporate federal and state income tax on their taxable income at regular statutory rates, or as calculated under the alternative minimum tax, as appropriate.rates. As of Septemberboth June 30, 20172021 and December 31, 2016,2020, our TRSs had deferred tax assets of $0.6 million and $0.5 million, respectively, net of valuation allowances of $2.7 million and $2.9 million, respectively. During the 2017 Period (as defined below), we recognized a deferred tax liabilityasset of $0.6$1.4 million in connection with the acquisition of Watergate 600 (see note 3). As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we had net deferred tax liabilities of $1.0 million and $0.4 million, respectively. The deferred tax liabilities are primarily related to temporary differences in the timing of the recognition of revenue, amortization and depreciation.that was fully reserved.


NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF PRESENTATIONS


Significant Accounting Policies


We have prepared our consolidated financial statements using the accounting policies described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.2020.

Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In August 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging:Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities. The purpose of this updated guidance is to better align a company’s financial reporting for hedging activities with the economic objectives of those activities. The transition guidance provides companies with the option of early adopting the new standard using a modified retrospective transition method in any interim period after issuance of the update, or alternatively requires adoption for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. This adoption method will require us to recognize the cumulative effect of initially applying the ASU, if any, as an adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive income with a corresponding adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings as of the beginning of the fiscal year that an entity adopts the update. While we continue to assess all potential impacts of the standard, we do not expect adoption to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718) - Scope of Modification Accounting, which provides guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting. The new standard is effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and for interim periods therein. Early adoption is permitted. We do not expect the new standard to 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,which requires that restricted cash and cash equivalents be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the consolidated statements of cash flows. The new standard is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and for interim periods therein, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact the new standard may have on Washington REIT’s consolidated financial statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments,which provides specific guidance on how cash receipts and payments should be presented and classified in the statement of cash flows for eight specific issues. The new standard is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and for interim periods therein, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact the new standard may have on Washington REIT’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,which requires financial assets measured at an amortized cost basis, including trade receivables, to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The new standard is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and for interim periods therein with adoption one year earlier permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact the new standard may have on Washington REIT’s consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”), which amends existing accounting standards for lease accounting, including by requiring lessees to recognize most leases on the balance sheet and making certain changes to lessor accounting. The new standard is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and for interim periods therein with early adoption permitted. Upon adoption, for leases in which we are the lessor, the lease contract will be separated into lease and non-lease components in accordance with the provisions outlined within ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASU 2014-09”). The lease component of the contract will be recognized on a straight-line basis in accordance with ASU 2016-02, while the non-lease component will be recognized under the provisions of ASU 2014-09. For lease contracts with a duration of more than one year in which we are the lessee, the present value of future lease payments will be recognized on our balance sheet as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability. Also, only direct leasing costs may be capitalized under the new standard, while current accounting standards allow for the capitalization of indirect leasing costs. We are currently evaluating the impact ASU 2016-02 may have on Washington REIT’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, which creates a single source of revenue guidance. The new standard provides accounting guidance for all revenue arising from contracts with customers and affects all entities that enter into contracts to provide goods or services to their customers (unless the contracts are in the scope of other U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requirements, such as the leasing literature). The guidance also provides a model for the measurement and recognition of gains and losses on the sale of certain nonfinancial assets, such as property and equipment, including real estate. The new standard is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and for interim periods therein. Early adoption is permitted for public entities beginning after December 15, 2016. We intend to adopt the new standard using the modified retrospective method. Upon adoption of ASU 2016-02, the majority of our revenue will be subject to the allocation provisions outlined within the revenue standard. We are currently evaluating the specific implementation requirements for allocating the consideration within our contracts in accordance with ASU 2014-09. We do not expect the new standard to have a material impact on the measurement and recognition of gains and losses on the sale of properties.


Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation


The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the consolidated accounts of Washington REIT,WashREIT, our majority-owned subsidiaries and entities in which Washington REITWashREIT has a controlling interest, including where Washington REIT has been determined to be a primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (“VIE”). See note 3 for additional information on the property for which there is a noncontrolling interest. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.


We have prepared the accompanying unaudited financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission “SEC”(“SEC”). Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although we believe that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In addition, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods presented have been included. These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.2020.

Within these notesHeld for Sale and Discontinued Operations

We classify properties as held for sale when they meet the necessary criteria, which include: (a) senior management commits to a plan to sell the assets; (b) the assets are available for immediate sale in their present condition subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of such assets; (c) an active program to locate a buyer and other actions required to complete the plan to sell the assets has been initiated; (d) the sale of the assets is probable and transfer of the assets is expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year; (e) the assets are being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value; and (f) actions required to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn. Depreciation on these properties is discontinued at the time they are classified as held for sale, but operating revenues, operating expenses and interest expense continue to be recognized until the date of sale.

Revenues and expenses of properties that are either sold or classified as held for sale are presented as discontinued operations for all periods presented in the consolidated statements of operations if the dispositions represent a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on our operations and financial results. If the dispositions do not represent a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on our operations and financial results, then the revenues and expenses of the properties that are classified as sold or held for sale are presented as continuing operations in the consolidated statements we referof operations for all periods presented.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash includes funds held in escrow for tenant security deposits.

Transformation Costs

Transformation costs include costs related to the three months ended Septemberstrategic transformation, including consulting, advisory and termination benefits. As of June 30, 20172021, $3.4 million is accrued and September 30, 2016 asincluded in Accounts payable and other liabilities on the “2017 Quarter” and the “2016 Quarter,” respectively and the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016 as the "2017 Period" and "2016 Period," respectively.Consolidated Balance Sheets.


Use of Estimates in the Financial Statements


The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.


NOTE 3: REAL ESTATE

Acquisition

Our current strategy is focused on properties inside the Washington metro region’s Beltway, near major transportation nodes and in areas with strong employment drivers and superior growth demographics. We seek to upgrade our portfolio with acquisitions as appropriate opportunities arise. We acquired the following property during the 2017 Period (the “2017 acquisition”):
Acquisition Date Property Type 
Net Rentable
Square Feet
 Contract Purchase Price (In thousands)
April 4, 2017 Watergate 600 Office 293,000 $135,000

The results of operations from the 2017 acquisition are included in the consolidated statements of income from the acquisition date and are as follows (in thousands):
  Three Months Ended
September 30, 2017
 
Nine Months Ended
September 30, 2017
Real estate rental revenue $4,831
 $9,733
Net income 356
 1,320

We accounted for the acquisition of Watergate 600 as an asset acquisition. Accordingly, we capitalized $2.8 million of costs directly associated with the acquisition. We measured the value of the acquired physical assets (land and building), in-place leases (tenant origination costs, leasing commissions, absorption costs and lease intangible assets/liabilities), and any other liabilities by allocating the total cost of the acquisition on a relative fair value basis.

We have recorded the total cost of the 2017 acquisition as follows (in thousands):
Land $45,981
Building 66,241
Tenant origination costs 12,084
Leasing commissions/absorption costs 23,161
Lease intangible assets 498
Lease intangible liabilities (9,585)
Deferred tax liability (560)
Total $137,820

The weighted remaining average life for the 2017 acquisition components above, other than land, building and deferred tax liability, are 92 months for tenant origination costs, 85 months for leasing commissions/absorption costs, 16 months for net lease intangible assets and 105 months for net lease intangible liabilities.

The difference in the total contract purchase price of $135.0 million for the 2017 acquisition and cash paid for the acquisition per the consolidated statements of cash flows of $138.4 million is primarily due to capitalized acquisition-related costs ($2.8 million) and a net credit to the buyer for certain expenditures ($1.0 million), partially offset by the issuance of 12,124 operating partnership units (“Operating Partnership Units”) as part of the consideration ($0.4 million). The Operating Partnership Units are units in WashREIT Watergate 600 OP LP, a consolidated subsidiary of Washington REIT. These Operating Partnership Units may be

redeemed for either cash equal to the fair market value of a share of Washington REIT common stock at the time of redemption (based on a 20-day average price) or, at the option of Washington REIT, one registered or unregistered share of Washington REIT common stock. In connection with the 2017 acquisition, we granted registration rights to the two contributors of the Watergate 600 property relating to the resale of any shares issued upon exchange of Operating Partnership Units pursuant to a shelf registration statement that we have an obligation to make available to the contributors approximately one year after the issuance of the Operating Partnership Units.


Development/Redevelopment


We have properties under development/redevelopment and held for current or future development asdevelopment. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017. In the office segment,2021, we have a redevelopment project atinvested $29.1 million, including the Army Navy Building, an office propertycost of acquired land, in Washington, DC, to upgrade its common areas and add significant amenities in order to make the property more competitive within its sub-market. As of September 30, 2017, we had invested $4.4 million in the redevelopment and have placed $4.3 million of the project into service. We have substantially completed the additional amenities and common areas and expect to place 11th floor common areas into service by the end of 2017.
In the multifamily segment, we have The Trove, a multifamily development adjacent to The Wellington, and own land held for future multifamily development adjacent to Riverside Apartments. As of September 30, 2017, we had invested $27.3 million and $19.0 million, including the costs of acquired land,In addition, in The Trove and the development adjacent to Riverside Apartments, respectively.

In the retailour multifamily segment, we currently have a redevelopmentcontinue to capitalize qualifying costs on several other projects with minor development activity necessary to ready each project to add rentable space at Spring Valley Village. Asfor its intended use. We placed the remainder of September 30, 2017, we had invested $2.5 million in the redevelopment.

Variable Interest Entity
In June 2011, we executed a joint venture operating agreement with a real estateTrove development company to develop The Maxwell, a mid-rise multifamily property at 650 North Glebe Road in Arlington, Virginia. Major construction activities at The Maxwell ended during December 2014, and the building became available for occupancycosts into service during the first quarter of 2015. Washington REIT was the 90% owner of the joint venture. The real estate development company owned 10% of the joint venture and was responsible for the development and construction of the property. Subsequent to the end of the 2017 Quarter, we purchased the remaining 10% of the joint venture from the real estate development company for a contract purchase price of $4.1 million. Upon the completion of this transaction, the joint venture was dissolved and Washington REIT became sole owner of The Maxwell.2021.

We determined that, prior to completion of this transaction, The Maxwell joint venture was a VIE primarily based on the fact that the equity investment at risk was not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional financial support. We also determined that Washington REIT was the primary beneficiary of the VIE due to the fact that Washington REIT was determined to have a controlling financial interest in the entity. In January 2016, Washington REIT exercised its right to purchase at par The Maxwell’s construction loan from the original third-party lender. Upon the purchase, the construction loan became an intercompany loan payable from the consolidated VIE to Washington REIT that is eliminated in consolidation. Subsequent to the 2017 Quarter, the intercompany loan payable was extinguished as part of the Washington REIT’s purchase of the joint venture partner’s 10%interest.

As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, The Maxwell’s assets were as follows (in thousands):
 September 30, 2017 December 31, 2016
Land$12,851

Properties Sold and Held for Sale


We intend to hold our properties for investment with a view to long-term appreciation, to engage in the business of acquiring, developing and owning our properties and to make occasional sales of the properties that no longer meet our long-term strategy or return objectives and where market conditions for sale are favorable. The proceeds from the sales may be reinvested into other properties, used to fund development operations or to support other corporate needs or distributed to our shareholders. Depreciation on these properties is discontinued whenat the time they are classified as held for sale, but operating revenues, other operating expenses and interest expense continue to be recognized until the date of sale.

We have fully transferred control of the assets associated with assets sold in 2020 and do not have continuing involvement in their operations.

In June 2021, we entered into negotiations to sell Braddock Metro Center, a 356,000 square foot office property in Alexandria, Virginia. Subsequent to the 2017 Quarter, we executed a letter of intent with a potential buyer for the property and are in the process of negotiating a purchase and sale agreement. Due to the negotiationsagreement with a single buyer to sell the property, we evaluated Braddock Metro CenterOffice Portfolio for impairment. We recognized a $5.0 million impairment charge forpurchase price of $766.0 million. As of June 30, 2021, the 2017 Quarterproperties in order to reduce the carrying value of the property to its estimated fair value. We based this fair valuation on the expected net proceeds from a potential sale. There are few observable market transactions for similar properties. This fair valuation falls into Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy due to its reliance on a quoted price in a market that is not active. Braddock Metro Center does not meetOffice Portfolio met the criteria for classification as held for sale. We closed on the sale of the Office Portfolio on July 26, 2021.

In June 2021, we executed a letter of intent to sell the Retail Portfolio. As of June 30, 2021, we expected to enter into a purchase and sale agreement and receive a non-refundable deposit from the potential buyer of the Retail Portfolio in July 2021. As of June 30, 2021, the Retail Portfolio met the criteria for classification as of September 30, 2017.

Duringheld for sale. Subsequent to the second quarter of 2017,2021 Quarter, we executed a purchase and sale agreement for the sale of Walker House Apartments, a multifamily property in Gaithersburg, Maryland,our remaining 8 retail properties for a contract salepurchase price of $32.2 million. We determined$168.3 million and received a non-refundable deposit of $6.7 million from the potential buyer. The closing of the Retail Portfolio is subject to customary closing conditions, however no assurance can be given that the sale will be completed.

The disposition of the Office Portfolio and expected disposition of the Retail Portfolio represent a strategic shift that will have a major effect on our financial results and we have accordingly reported the Office Portfolio and Retail Portfolio as discontinued operations. The remaining office property, metWatergate 600, does not meet the criteria for classification as heldoffice to be a reportable segment (see note 9).

As of June 30, 2021, we anticipate the disposition of certain properties prior to the end of their useful lives. We assessed these properties for saleimpairment as of June 30, 2017,2021 and did 0t recognize any impairment charges during the property continues to meet2021 Quarter. We applied reasonable estimates and judgments in evaluating each of the criteria for classification as held for saleproperties as of SeptemberJune 30, 2017. We closed on2021. Should external or internal circumstances change requiring the sale on October 23, 2017.need to shorten holding periods or adjust future estimated cash flows from our properties, we could be required to record impairment charges in the future.

NOTE 4: MORTGAGE NOTES PAYABLE

In February 2017, we prepaid without penalty the remaining $49.6 million of the mortgage note secured by the Army Navy Building.

NOTE 5:4: UNSECURED LINESLINE OF CREDIT PAYABLE


We haveDuring the first quarter of 2018, we entered into an amended and restated credit agreement (“Credit Agreement”) which provides for a $600.0$700.0 million unsecured revolving credit agreementfacility (“Revolving Credit Facility”) that matures in June 2019, unless extended pursuant to one or both, the continuation of an existing $150.0 million unsecured term loan (“2015 Term Loan”) and an additional $250.0 million unsecured term loan (“2018 Term Loan”). In the two six months extension options.fourth quarter of 2020, we repaid all $150.0 million of borrowings on the 2015 Term Loan. The Revolving Credit Facility has a four-year term ending in March 2022, with 2 six-month extension options. The Credit Agreement has an accordion feature which we utilized a portion of in September 2015, as described below, that allows us to increase the aggregate facility to $1.0$1.5 billion, subject to the extent the lenders agreelenders’ agreement to provide additional revolving loan commitments or term loans. In September 2015, we entered into a $150.0 million unsecured term loan (“2015 Term Loan”) by executing a portion of the accordion feature under the Revolving Credit Facility. The 2015 Term Loan has a 5.5 year term and currently has an interest rate of one month LIBOR plus 110 basis points, based on Washington REIT’s current unsecured debt ratings. We entered into two interest rate swaps to effectively fix the interest rate at 2.7% (see note 7).


The Revolving Credit Facility bears interest at a rate of either one month LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 0.875%0.775% to 1.55% or the base rate plus a margin ranging from 0.0% to 0.55% (in each case depending upon Washington REIT’sWashREIT’s credit rating). The base rate is the highest of the administrative agent’s prime rate, the federal funds rate plus 0.50% and the LIBOR market index rate
15


plus 1.0%. In addition, the Revolving Credit Facility requires the payment of a facility fee ranging from 0.125%0.10% to 0.30% (depending on Washington REIT’sWashREIT’s credit rating) on the $600.0$700.0 million committed revolving loan capacity, without regard to usage. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2021, the interest rate on the facilityRevolving Credit Facility is one month LIBOR plus 1.00%, the one month LIBOR is 0.10% and the facility fee is 0.20%.


All outstanding advances for the Revolving Credit Facility are due and payable upon maturity in March 2022, unless extended pursuant to one or both of the 2 six-month extension options. Interest only payments are due and payable generally on a monthly basis.

The 2018 Term Loan increased and replaced the $150.0 million unsecured term loan, initially entered into on July 22, 2016 (“2016 Term Loan”), that was scheduled to mature in July 2023. The 2018 Term Loan is scheduled to mature in July 2023 and bears interest at a rate of either one month LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 0.85% to 1.75% or the base rate plus a margin ranging from 0.0% to 0.75% (in each case depending upon WashREIT’s credit rating). We used the $100.0 million of additional proceeds from the 2018 Term Loan primarily to repay outstanding borrowings on the Revolving Credit Facility.

We had previously used interest rate derivatives to effectively fix the interest rate of the 2016 Term Loan. These interest rate derivatives now effectively fix the interest rate on a $150.0 million portion of the 2018 Term Loan at 2.31%. In March 2018, we entered into interest rate derivatives that commenced on June 29, 2018 to effectively fix the interest rate on the remaining $100.0 million of the 2018 Term Loan at 3.71%. The 2018 Term Loan has an all-in fixed interest rate of 2.87%.

NOTE 6: NOTES PAYABLE

During 2016, we entered into a seven year, $150.0 million unsecured term loan (“2016 Term Loan”) maturing on July 21, 2023 with a deferred draw period of up to six months commencing on July 22, 2016. The 2016 Term Loan bears interest at a rate of either LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 1.50% to 2.45% or the base rate plus a margin ranging from 0.5% to 1.45% (in each case depending upon Washington REIT’s credit rating). The base rate is the highest of the administrative agent’s prime rate, the federal funds rate plus 0.50% and one-month LIBOR plus 1.0%. The 2016 Term Loan currently has an interest rate of one month LIBOR plus 165 basis points, based on Washington REIT’s current unsecured debt ratings. We borrowed $100.0 million on the term loan in the fourth quarter of 2016, and borrowed the remaining $50.0 million during the first quarter of 2017. We have also previously entered into forward interest rate swaps commencing on March 31, 2017 to effectively fix the interest rate on the 2016 Term Loan at 2.9% (see note 7).

NOTE 7:5: DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS


On September 15, 2015,July 22, 2016, we entered into two2 forward interest rate swap arrangements with notional amounts of $100.0 million and $50.0 million, respectively, to swap the floating interest rate under the $150.0 million 2016 Term Loan to an all-in fixed interest rate of 2.86% starting on March 31, 2017 and extending until the scheduled maturity of the 2016 Term Loan on July 21, 2023.

On March 29, 2018, we entered into the $250.0 million 2018 Term Loan maturing on July 21, 2023, which increased and replaced the 2016 Term Loan. The interest rate swap arrangements that had effectively fixed the 2016 Term Loan then effectively fix the interest rate on a $150.0 million portion of the 2018 Term Loan at 2.31%. On March 29, 2018, we entered into 4 interest rate swap arrangements with a total notional amount of $150.0$100.0 million to swapeffectively fix the floating interest rate underon the 2015remaining $100.0 million of the 2018 Term Loan (see note 5) to an all-in fixed interest rate of 2.7% startingat 3.71%, that commenced on October 15, 2015June 29, 2018 and extending until the maturity of the 20152018 Term Loan on March 15, 2021. On July 22, 2016, we entered into two forward interest rate swap arrangements with a total notional amount of $150.021, 2023. The $250.0 million to swap the floating interest rate under the 2016

2018 Term Loan (see note 6) tohas an all-in fixed interest rate of 2.9% starting on March 31, 2017 and extending until the maturity of the 2016 Term Loan on July 21, 2023.2.87%.


The interest rate swaps qualify as cash flow hedges and are recorded at fair value in accordance with GAAP,Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), based on discounted cash flow methodologies and observable inputs. We record the effective portion of changes in fair value of the cash flow hedges in other comprehensive income. The resulting unrealized gain (loss) on the effective portions of the cash flow hedges was the only activity in other comprehensive income during the periods presented in our consolidated financial statements. We assess the effectiveness of our cash flow hedges both at inception and on an ongoing basis. TheIf a cash flow hedge is no longer expected to be effective, hedge accounting is discontinued. Hedge ineffectiveness of our cash flow hedges were effectiveis recorded in earnings.

We currently expect to use a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Office and potential sale of the Retail Portfolios (see note 3) to prepay a $150.0 million portion of the 2018 Term Loan during the third quarter of 2021. We expect to hold the remaining $100.0 million portion of the 2018 Term Loan until maturity. Due to this intention to prepay a $150.0 million portion of the 2018 Term Loan, we have determined that the hedged transactions for the 20175 interest rate swap arrangements with an
16


aggregate notional value of $150.0 million are probable not to occur and that these interest swap arrangements are no longer effective cash flow hedges as of June 30, 2021. As a result, we recognized a loss of $5.8 million for the 2021 Quarter, and 2017 Period and 2016 Quarter and 2016 Period, and thereforewhich was recorded to Loss on interest rate derivatives on our condensed consolidated statements of operations. The interest rate swap arrangement with a notional value of $100.0 million related to the remaining portion of the 2018 Term Loan that we intend to hold to maturity is an effective cash flow hedge ineffectiveness did not impact earnings during the 2017 Quarter and 2017 Period and 2016 Quarter and 2016 Period.as of June 30, 2021.

We have agreements with each of our derivative counterparties that contain a provision whereby we could be declared in default on our derivative obligations if repayment of the underlying indebtedness is accelerated by the lender due to our default on the indebtedness. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2021, we did 0t have any derivatives in an asset position and the fair value of derivatives is in a net asset position of $6.8 million, which includesthe derivative liabilities, including accrued interest, but excludes any adjustment for nonperformance risk.was $7.7 million. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2021, we have not posted any collateral related to these agreements.


Derivative instruments expose us to credit risk in the event of non-performance by the counterparty under the terms of the interest rate hedge agreement.agreements. We believe that we minimize our credit risk on these transactions by dealing with major, creditworthy financial institutions. We monitor the credit ratings of counterparties and our exposure to any single entity, thus minimizing our credit risk concentration.


NOTE 8:6: FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES


Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value


For assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, quantitative disclosures about the fair value measurements are required to be disclosed separately for each major category of assets and liabilities, as follows:


Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets
17


Level 2: Significant other observable inputs
Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs


The only assets or liabilities we had at SeptemberJune 30, 20172021 and December 31, 20162020 that are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis are the assets held in the Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (“SERP”), which primarily consist of investments in mutual funds, and the interest rate swapsderivatives (see note 7)5).


We base the valuations related to the SERP on assumptions derived from significant other observable inputs and accordingly these valuations fall into Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.


The valuation of the interest rate swapsderivatives is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each interest rate swap.derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the interest rate swaps,derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities. The fair values of interest rate swapsderivatives are determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash payments (or receipts) and the discounted expected variable cash receipts (or payments). The variable cash payments (or receipts) are based on an expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate curves. To comply with the provisions of ASC 820,Fair Value Measurement, we incorporate credit valuation adjustments in the fair value measurements to appropriately reflect both our own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk. These credit valuation adjustments were concluded to not be significant inputs for the fair value calculations for the periods presented. In adjusting the fair value of our derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, we have considered the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements, such as the posting of collateral, thresholds, mutual puts and guarantees. The valuation of interest rate swapsderivatives fall into Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.


The fair values of these assets and liabilities at SeptemberJune 30, 20172021 and December 31, 20162020 were as follows (in thousands):

Financial Assets and Liabilities Not Measured at Fair Value


The following disclosures of estimated fair value were determined by management using available market information and established valuation methodologies, including discounted cash flow.flow models. Many of these estimates involve significant judgment. The estimated fair value disclosed may not necessarily be indicative of the amounts we could realize on disposition of the financial instruments. The use of different market assumptions or estimation methodologies could have an effect on the estimated fair value amounts. In addition, fair value estimates are made at a point in time and thus, estimates of fair value subsequent to SeptemberJune 30, 20172021 may differ significantly from the amounts presented.

Following is a summary The valuations of significant methodologies used in estimating fair values and a schedule of fair values at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

Cashcash and cash equivalents and restricted cash include cash and commercial paper with original maturities of less than 90 days, which are valued at the carrying value, which approximates fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments (Levelfall into Level 1 inputs).

Notes Receivable

We acquired a note receivable (“2445 M Street note”) in 2008 with the purchase of 2445 M Street. We estimate the fair value hierarchy and the valuations of the 2445 M Street note based on a discounted cash flow methodology using market discount rates (Leveldebt instruments fall into Level 3 inputs).

Debt

Mortgage notes payable consist of instruments in which certain of our real estate assets are used for collateral. We estimate the fair value of the mortgage notes payable by discounting the contractual cash flows at a rate equal to the relevant treasury rates (with respect to the timing of each cash flow) plus credit spreads estimated through independent comparisons to real estate assets or loans with similar characteristics. Lines of credit payable consist of our bank facility which we use for various purposes including working capital, acquisition funding and capital improvements. The lines of credit advances and term loans with floating interest rates are priced at a specified rate plus a spread. We estimate the market value based on a comparison of the spreads of the advances to market given the adjustable base rate. We estimate the fair value of the notes payable by discounting the contractual cash flowshierarchy.

at a rate equal to the relevant treasury rates (with respect to the timing of each cash flow) plus credit spreads derived using the relevant securities’ market prices. We classify these fair value measurements as Level 3 as we use significant unobservable inputs and management judgment due to the absence of quoted market prices.

NOTE 9:7: STOCK BASED COMPENSATION


Washington REITWashREIT maintains short-term (“STIP”) and long-term (“LTIP”) incentive plans that allow for stock based awards to officers and non-officer employees. Stock based awards are provided to officers and non-officer employees, as well as trustees, under the Washington Real Estate Investment Trust 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan which allows for awards in the form of restricted shares, restricted share units, options and other awards up to an aggregate of 2,400,000 shares over the ten-year period in which the plan will be in effect. Restricted share units are converted into shares of our stock upon full vesting through the issuance of new shares.


Total Compensation Expense


Total compensation expense recognized in the consolidated financial statements for all outstanding share based awards was $1.2$2.2 million and $0.3$2.0 million for the 20172021 Quarter and 20162020 Quarter, respectively, and $3.6$3.8 million and $2.7$3.8 million for the 20172021 Period and 20162020 Period, respectively.


Restricted Share Awards


The total fair values of restricted share awards vested was $2.0 million and $2.5$0.8 million for the 20172021 Period and 20162020 Period, respectively.


The total unvested restricted share awards at SeptemberJune 30, 20172021 was 355,120456,326 shares, which had a weighted average grant date fair value of $30.86$28.38 per share. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2021, the total compensation cost related to unvested restricted share awards was $7.4 million, which we expect to recognize over a weighted average period of 3720 months.


NOTE 10:8: EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE


We determine “Basic earnings per share” using the two-class method as our unvested restricted share awards and units have non-forfeitable rights to dividends, and are therefore considered participating securities. We compute basic earnings per share by dividing net income attributable to the controlling interest less the allocation of undistributed earnings to unvested restricted share awards and units by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period.


We also determine “Diluted earnings per share” as the more dilutive of the two-class method or the treasury stock method with respect to the unvested restricted share awards. We further evaluate any other potentially dilutive securities at the end of the period and adjust the basic earnings per share calculation for the impact of those securities that are dilutive. Our diluteddilutive earnings per share calculation includes the dilutive impact of operating partnership units under the if-converted method and our share based awards with performance conditions prior to the grant date and awards withall market conditionscondition awards under the contingently issuable method. The dilutive earnings per share calculation also considers the Operating Partnership Units issued in connection with the 2017 acquisition, which were not dilutive for any of the periods presented.

NOTE 11:9: SEGMENT INFORMATION


We have threepreviously had 2 reportable segments: office multifamily and retail.multifamily. Office properties provide office space for various types of businesses and professions. Multifamily properties provide rental housing for individuals and families throughout the greater Washington, DC metro region. We have 8 retail properties that did not meet the criteria for a reportable segment and are classified as “Corporate and other” in our segment disclosure tables. During the 2021 Quarter, we executed a purchase and sale agreement for the sale of 12 office properties (see note 3). Subsequent to the 2021 Quarter, we executed a purchase and sale agreement for the sale of 8 retail properties (see note 3). Both the office and retail properties met the criteria for classification as held for sale as of June 30, 2021 and are classified as discontinued operations. We closed on the sale of the Office Portfolio on July 26, 2021 and expect to close on the Retail properties are typically grocery store-anchored neighborhood centers that include other small shop tenants or regional power centers with several junior box tenants.Portfolio in the third quarter of 2021. We have 1 remaining office property, Watergate 600, which does not meet the criteria for a reportable segment, has been classified within “Corporate and other” on our segment disclosure tables.


We evaluate performance based upon net operating income fromof the combined properties in each segment. Our reportable operating segments are consolidations of similar properties. GAAP requires that segment disclosures present the measure(s) used by the chief operating decision maker for purposes of assessing segments’each segment’s performance. Net operating income is a key measurement of our segment profit and loss. Net operating incomeloss and is defined as segment real estate rental revenue less segment real estate expenses.

We claimfactors which may cause the protectionactual results, performance, or achievements of WashREIT to be materially different from future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Currently, one of the safe harbormost significant factors continues to be the adverse effect of the COVID-19 virus, including any variants and mutations thereof, the actions taken to contain the pandemic or mitigate the impact of COVID-19, and the direct and indirect economic effects of the pandemic and containment measures. The extent to which COVID-19 continues to impact WashREIT and its tenants will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the scope, severity and duration of the pandemic, the actions taken to contain the pandemic or mitigate its impact, and the direct and indirect economic effects of the pandemic and containment measures, the continued speed and success of the vaccine distribution, effectiveness and willingness of people to take COVID-19 vaccines, and the duration of associated immunity and their efficacy against emerging variants of COVID-19, among others. Moreover, investors are cautioned to interpret many of the risks identified in the risk factors discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 filed on February 16, 2021, as being heightened as a result of the ongoing and numerous adverse impacts of COVID-19.

General


Introductory Matters


We provide our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) in addition to the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes to assist readers in understanding our results of operations and financial condition. We organize the MD&A as follows:


24


Overview. Discussion of our business outlook, operating results, investment activity,and financing activity and capital requirements to provide context for the remainder of MD&A.
Results of Operations. Discussion of our financial results comparing the 20172021 Quarter to the 20162020 Quarter and the 20172021 Period to the 20162020 Period.
Liquidity and Capital Resources. Discussion of our financial condition and analysis of changes in our capital structure and cash flows.
Funds From Operations. Calculation of NAREIT Funds From Operations (“NAREIT FFO”), a non-GAAP supplemental measure to net income.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates. Descriptions of accounting policies that reflect significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.


When evaluating our financial condition and operating performance, we focus on the following financial and non-financial indicators:


Net operating income (“NOI”), calculated as set forth below under the caption "Results of Operations - Net Operating Income." NOI is a non-GAAP supplemental measure to net income.
Funds From Operations (“NAREIT FFO”), calculated as set forth below under the caption “Funds from Operations.” NAREIT FFO is a non-GAAP supplemental measure to net income.
Average occupancy, calculated as average monthly occupied multifamily units as a percentage of total multifamily units.

For purposes of evaluating comparative operating performance, we categorize our properties as “same-store” or “non-same-store”. Same-store portfolio properties include properties that were owned for the entirety of the years being compared, and exclude properties under redevelopment or development and properties acquired, sold or classified as held for sale during the years being compared. We categorize our properties as “same-store” or non-“same-store” for purposes of evaluating comparative operating performance. We define development properties as those for which we have planned or ongoing major construction activities on existing or acquired land pursuant to an authorized development plan. We consider a property's development activities to be complete when the property is ready for its intended use. The property is categorized as same-store when it has been ready for its intended use for the entirety of the years being compared. We define redevelopment properties as those for which we have planned or ongoing significant development and construction activities on existing or acquired buildings pursuant to an authorized plan, which has an impact on current operating results, occupancy and the ability to lease space with the intended result of a higher economic return on the property. We categorize a redevelopment property as same-store when redevelopment activities have been complete for the majority of each year being compared.

Overview

Our revenues are derived primarily from the ownership and operation of income producing properties in the greater Washington, DC metro region. As of June 30, 2021 we owned a diversified portfolio of 43 properties, totaling approximately 3.4 million square feet of commercial space and 7,059 multifamily units, and land held for development. These 43 properties consisted of 22 multifamily properties, 13 office properties and 8 retail centers.

During the 2021 Quarter, we executed a purchase and sale agreement for the sale of twelve office properties (the “Office Portfolio”) (see note 3 to the condensed consolidated financial statements) for a purchase price of $766.0 million. Subsequent to the 2021 Quarter, we executed a purchase and sale agreement for the sale of eight retail properties (the “Retail Portfolio”) (see note 3 to the condensed consolidated financial statements) for a purchase price of $168.3 million. Both the Office Portfolio and Retail Portfolio met the criteria for classification as held for sale as of June 30, 2021 and are classified as discontinued operations in our condensed consolidated financial statements. We closed on the sale of the Office Portfolio on July 26, 2021 and expect to close on the Retail Portfolio in the third quarter of 2021. The closing of the Retail Portfolio is subject to customary closing conditions, however, no assurance can be given that the sale will be completed. The remaining office property, Watergate 600, does not meet the qualitative or quantitative criteria for a reportable segment (see note 9 to the condensed consolidated financial statements). The properties in the Office Portfolio and Retail Portfolio met the criteria for classification as held for sale as of June 30, 2021 and are classified as discontinued operations. The dispositions of office and retail properties are part of a strategic shift away from the commercial sector to the multifamily sector which simplifies our portfolio to one reportable segment (multifamily) (the “strategic transformation”).

Outlook

We plan to use the net proceeds from the sales to fund the expansion of our multifamily platform through acquisitions in Southeastern markets and to reduce our leverage by repaying outstanding debt. The planned acquisitions of multifamily
25


properties and dispositions of office and retail properties are part of a strategic shift away from the commercial sector to the multifamily sector (the “strategic transformation”). This strategic shift simplifies our portfolio to one reportable segment (multifamily). We believe the successful execution of this research-driven strategic shift will lead to greater, more sustainable growth.

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19, a respiratory illness caused by the novel coronavirus, a pandemic, and on March 13, 2020, the United States declared a national emergency concerning COVID-19. The COVID-19 pandemic caused state and local governments within the Washington, DC metro region to institute quarantines, shelter-in-place rules and restrictions on travel, the types of business that may continue to operate and/or the types of construction projects that may continue.

While the COVID-19 pandemic impacted the 2021 Quarter, as of July 28, 2021, we collected 99% of cash rent during the 2021 Quarter. We saw a decrease in credit losses of $0.3 million during the 2021 Quarter compared to the 2020 Quarter. The effects of COVID-19 on our multifamily tenants led to a decline in rental rates during the 2021 Quarter compared to the 2020 Quarter. However, we expect to be able to increase rental rates in the remainder of 2021 as market conditions have begun to improve. We had an increase in average occupancy of approximately 60 basis points during the 2021 Quarter compared to the 2020 Quarter, excluding Trove, which began lease-up in the first quarter of 2020.

We expect the COVID-19 outbreak, including any variants and mutations thereof, to continue to affect our financial condition and results of operations during 2021, including but not limited to real estate rental revenues, credit losses and leasing activity. Given our current concentration in the Washington, DC metro region, our entire existing portfolio could be impacted at the same time by quarantines, shelter in place rules and various other restrictions imposed or re-imposed in response to a surge in COVID-19 cases. To help mitigate the impact on our operating results of the COVID-19 pandemic, we previously initiated various operational cost-saving initiatives across our portfolio. Due to the uncertainty of the future impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, the extent of the financial impact remains difficult to reasonably estimate.

New legislation was enacted to provide relief to businesses in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. We have evaluated and will continue to evaluate the relief options available, or that become available in the future, such as the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Securities Act (“CARES Act”), or other emergency relief initiatives and stimulus packages instituted by the federal government. A number of the available relief options contain restrictions on future business activities that require careful evaluation and consideration, including the ability to repurchase shares and pay dividends. We will continue to assess these options and any subsequent legislation or other relief packages, including the accompanying restrictions on our business, as the pandemic continues to evolve. The legislation did not have a material impact on our results of operations for the 2021 Period and 2020 Period.

The increase in net loss is primarily due to the loss on interest rate derivatives ($5.8 million), transformation costs ($3.8 million), lower NOI ($2.1 million), higher interest expense ($1.4 million) and higher general and administrative expenses ($1.0 million) in the 2021 Quarter, partially offset by the loss on sale of real estate ($7.5 million) and a loss on extinguishment of debt ($0.2 million) in the 2020 Quarter and higher income from discontinued operations ($3.2 million) and a real estate tax refund ($1.5 million) in the 2021 Quarter.

The lower NOI is primarily due to the sales of Monument II ($1.1 million), 1227 25th Street ($0.7 million) and John Marshall II ($0.2 million) during 2020 and lower same-store NOI ($0.6 million), partially offset by placing Trove, a multifamily development, into service starting in 2020 ($0.5 million). Multifamily same-store average occupancy for our portfolio increased to 95.1% as of June 30, 2021 from 94.5% as of June 30, 2020, due to higher occupancy across the portfolio as the portfolio recovers from the COVID-19 pandemic.

The lower NAREIT FFO is primarily due to loss on interest rate derivatives ($5.8 million), transformation costs ($3.8 million), lower NOI ($2.1 million), higher interest expense ($1.4 million) and higher general and administrative expenses ($1.0 million). These were partially offset by a real estate tax refund ($1.5 million) and higher income from discontinued operations, net of depreciation and amortization ($1.2 million) in the 2021 Quarter and loss on extinguishment of debt ($0.2 million) in 2020 Quarter.

Investment and Financing Activity

During the 2021 Quarter, we entered into a purchase and sale agreement with a single buyer to sell the Office Portfolio for a contract sales price of $766.0 million. Subsequent to the 2021 Quarter, we closed on the Office Portfolio sale transaction on July 26, 2021.

Subsequent to the end of the 2021 Quarter, we entered into a purchase and sale agreement with a single buyer to sell the Retail Portfolio for a contract sales price of $168.3 million. We expect to close on the sale of the Retail Portfolio in the third quarter of 2021.

We plan to use the net proceeds from the sales to fund the expansion of our multifamily platform through acquisitions in Southeastern markets and to reduce our leverage by repaying outstanding debt. We expect to redeem $300.0 million of our Senior Notes due 2022 and repay $150.0 million of borrowings outstanding under the 2018 Term Loan, respectively. In conjunction with these repayments, we expect to terminate five interest rate swaps (see note 5 to the consolidated financial statements).

As of June 30, 2021, the interest rate on the $700.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility (“Revolving Credit Facility”) was one month LIBOR plus 1.00% and the facility fee was 0.20%. As of July 28, 2021, we had no outstanding balance and a full borrowing capacity of $700.0 million on our Revolving Credit Facility and approximately $665.0 million of cash on hand, primarily due to the proceeds from the Office Portfolio sale.

Capital Requirements

We have no debt maturities until the fourth quarter of 2022. As discussed above, we plan to use a portion of the net proceeds from the sales of the Office Portfolio and Retail Portfolio to redeem $300.0 million of our Senior Notes scheduled to mature in 2022. If such redemption is completed, we will have no debt maturities until 2023. We expect to have additional capital requirements as set forth on page 31 (Liquidity and Capital Resources - Capital Requirements).

Results of Operations

The discussion that follows is based on our consolidated results of operations for the 2021 Quarter and 2021 Period and 2020 Quarter and 2020 Period. The ability to compare one period to another is significantly affected by dispositions made during 2021 and 2020 (see note 3 to the consolidated financial statements). Additionally, the COVID-19 pandemic adversely impacted our operating results for the 2021 Quarter, 2020 Quarter, 2021 Period and 2020 Period, and we expect that the COVID-19 outbreak will continue to adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows going forward, including but not limited to, real estate rental revenues, credit losses, and leasing activity, in ways that may vary widely depending on the duration and magnitude of the COVID-19 pandemic and ensuing economic turmoil, as well as numerous other factors, many of which are outside of our control, as discussed under “Part I - Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 filed on February 16, 2021.
Net Operating Income

NOI, defined as real estate rental revenue less real estate expenses, is a non-GAAP measure. NOI is calculated as net income, less non-real estate revenue and the results of discontinued operations (including the gain or loss on sale, if any), plus interest expense, depreciation and amortization, lease origination expenses, general and administrative expenses, acquisition costs, real estate impairment, casualty gains and losses and gain or loss on extinguishment of debt.
NAREIT FFO, calculated as set forth below under the caption “Funds from Operations.”
Ending occupancy, calculated as occupied square footage as a percentage of total square footage as of the last day of that period.

Leased percentage, calculated as the percentage of available physical net rentable area leased for our office and retail segments and percentage of apartments leased for our multifamily segment.
Rental rates.
Leasing activity, including new leases, renewals and expirations.

For purposes of evaluating comparative operating performance, we categorize our properties as “same-store”, “non-same-store” or discontinued operations.A “same-store” property is one that was owned for the entirety of 2017 and the prior year, and excludes properties under redevelopment or development and properties purchased or sold at any time during 2017 or the prior year. A “non-same-store” property is one that was acquired, under redevelopment or development, or placed into service during 2017 or the prior year. We define redevelopment properties as those for which we expect to spend significant development and construction costs on existing or acquired buildings pursuant to a formal plan which has a current impact on operating results, occupancy and the ability to lease space with the intended result of a higher economic return on the property. Properties under redevelopment or development are included with the non-same-store properties beginning in the period during which redevelopment or development activities commence. We consider properties to no longer be under redevelopment or development upon substantial completion of redevelopment or development activities, and the earlier of achieving 90% occupancy or two years after substantial completion.

Overview

Business Outlook

Our revenues are derived primarily from the ownership and operation of income producing properties in the greater Washington metro region. As of September 30, 2017, we owned a diversified portfolio of 50 properties, totaling approximately 6.4 million square feet of commercial space and 4,480 multifamily units, and land held for development. These 50 properties consisted of 20 office properties, 16 retail centers and 14 multifamily properties. On October 23, 2017, we sold Walker House Apartments, a 212-unit multifamily property in Gaithersburg, Maryland, for a contract sale price of $32.2 million.

Operating Results

Net income attributable to the controlling interests, NOI and NAREIT FFO for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 were as follows (in thousands):

(2) See page 35 of the MD&A for a reconciliation of NAREIT FFO to net income.

The lower net income attributable to the controlling interests is primarily due to gains on sale of real estate during the 2016 Quarter ($77.6 million), a real estate impairment charge during the 2017 Quarter ($5.0 million) and higher general and administrative expenses ($0.8 million), partially offset by lower depreciation and amortization expenses ($3.0 million), higher NOI ($2.6 million) and lower interest expense ($1.0 million).

The increase in NOI is primarily due to the Watergate 600 acquisition ($3.3 million) and higher NOI from same-store properties ($1.1 million) and Army Navy Building ($0.2 million), which substantially completed redevelopment activities during the 2017 Quarter. These were partially offset by the property sales during 2016 ($2.5 million). The higher same-store NOI is explained in further detail beginning on page 26 (Results of Operations - 2017 Quarter Compared to 2016 Quarter). Same-store ending occupancy increased to 93.8% as of September 30, 2017, from 93.6% one year ago, primarily due to higher occupancy in the office segment.

The higher NAREIT FFO is primarily attributable to the higher NOI ($2.6 million) and lower interest expense ($1.0 million), partially offset by higher general and administrative expenses ($0.8 million).


Investment Activity

Significant investment transactions during the 2017 Period included the following:
The acquisition of Watergate 600, which we refer to as the 2017 acquisition, a 293,000 net rentable square foot office building in Washington, DC, for a contract purchase price of $135.0 million in a transaction that was structured to include the issuance of 12,124 operating partnership units in WashREIT Watergate 600 OP LP, a consolidated subsidiary of Washington REIT (“Operating Partnership Units”), representing $0.4 million of the purchase price. We incurred $2.8 million of acquisition costs related to this transaction.

Financing Activity

Significant financing transactions during the 2017 Period included the following:
The prepayment at par of the remaining $49.6 million of the mortgage note secured by the Army Navy Building in February 2017.
The draw of the remaining $50.0 million on the seven year, $150 million unsecured term loan agreement maturing on July 21, 2023. We used the borrowing to refinance maturing secured debt.
The issuance of approximately 3.6 million common shares under our ATM program at an average price to the public of $32.06 per share, for net proceeds of approximately $113.2 million.

As of September 30, 2017, the interest rate on the Revolving Credit Facility was one month LIBOR plus 1.00% and the facility fee was 0.20%. As of October 26, 2017, our Revolving Credit Facility has a borrowing capacity of $431.0 million.

Capital Requirements

We do not have any other debt maturities during 2017. We expect to have additional capital requirements as set forth on page 32 (Liquidity and Capital Resources - Capital Requirements).

Results of Operations

The discussion that follows is based on our consolidated results of operations for the 2017 Quarter and 2017 Period and 2016 Quarter and 2016 Period. The ability to compare one period to another is significantly affected by acquisitions completed and dispositions made during 2016 and 2017 (see note 3 to the consolidated financial statements).
Net Operating Income

NOI is a non-GAAP measure defined as net income, less non-real estate revenue and the results of discontinued operations (including the gain on sale, if any), plus interest expense, depreciation and amortization, general and administrative expenses, acquisition costs, real estate impairment and gain or loss on extinguishment of debt. NOI is the primary performance measure we use to assess the results of our operations at the property level. We believe that NOI is useful as a performance measure because, when compared across periods, NOI reflects the impact on operations of trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs on an unleveraged basis, providing perspective not immediately apparent from net income. NOI excludes certain components from net income in order to provide results more closely related to a property’s results of operations. For example, interest expense is not necessarily linked to the operating performance of a real estate asset. In addition, depreciation and amortization, because of historical cost accounting and useful life estimates, may distort operating
27


performance at the property level. As a result of the foregoing, we provide NOI as a supplement to net income, calculated in accordance with GAAP. NOI does not represent net income or income from continuing operations, in either case calculated in accordance with GAAP. As such, it should not be considered an alternative to these measures as an indication of our operating performance. A reconciliation of NOI to net income follows.

These decreases were partially offset by placing into service a portion of the Trove development ($1.1 million) and higher depreciation and amortization at same-store properties ($1.10.2 million), partially offset by the Watergate 600 acquisition ($2.6 million). The lower same-store depreciation and amortization is primarily due to lower amortization of leasing commissions and acquired intangible lease assets.

General and administrative expenses:Increase primarily due to higher share-based compensation ($0.9 million) primarily due to a higher volumeestimate of forfeituresshort-term incentive compensation ($0.9 million) during the 20162021 Quarter.

Capitalized interest: Decrease primarily due to placing into service assets at Trove.

Loss on extinguishment of debt: We recognized a $0.2 million loss on extinguishment of debt during 2020 Quarter related to the prepayment of the $250 million of 4.95% Senior Notes that were scheduled to mature in October 2020.

Other income: During the 2021 Quarter we recognized $1.5 million in other income related to a tax refund for an office property sold in 2018.

Loss on interest rate derivatives: We currently expect to prepay a $150.0 million portion of the 2018 Term Loan during the third quarter of 2021. We have determined that the hedged transactions for the five interest rate swap arrangements with an aggregate notional value of $150.0 million are probable not to occur and that these interest swap arrangements are no longer effective cash flow hedges as of June 30, 2021.

The low retention rate in the office segment is primarily due to the non-renewal of a large tenant at Braddock Metro Center. We have executed a lease with a new tenant for that space, with the lease expected to commence in 2018. Retail’s retention rate was negatively impacted by the bankruptcy of a large tenant at Frederick Crossing.

These decreases were partially offset by placing into service a portion of the Trove development ($2.5 million).

Liquidity and Capital Resources


We believe we will have adequate liquidity over the next 12 months to operate our business and to meet our cash requirements. As of July 26, 2021, we had cash and cash equivalents totaling approximately $665.0 million and no outstanding balance and a full borrowing capacity of $700.0 million on our Revolving Credit Facility, resulting in a total liquidity position of approximately $1.4 billion.

Through our Office Portfolio sale and expected Retail Portfolio sale, we executed strategic transactions that will allow us to pursue multifamily expansion in Southeastern markets, meet our debt obligations for the next twelve months, including our plans to redeem all $300.0 million of Senior Notes due 2022 in the third quarter of 2021, and pay a dividend on a quarterly basis. When the redemption of the Senior Notes due in 2022 is completed, we will have no debt maturities until 2023.

We will continue to assess the payment of our dividends on a quarterly basis. Future determinations regarding the declaration and payment of dividends, if any, will be at the discretion of our Board of Trustees who considers, among other factors, trends in our levels of funds from operations and ongoing capital requirements to achieve a targeted payout ratio.

Capital Requirements


As of the end of the third quarter of 2017,2021 Quarter, we summarize our full-year 20172021 capital requirements as follows:
Funding dividends and distributions to our shareholders;
$49.6 million to repay a secured note during the first quarter of 2017;
Approximately $75$25.0 - $80$30.0 million to invest in our existing portfolio of operating assets, including approximately $25$2.5 - $30$7.5 million to fund tenant-related capital requirements and leasing commissions;
Approximately $20$7.5 - $25$10.0 million to invest in our development and redevelopment projects; and
Funding for potential property acquisitions during 2017,throughout 2021 and additional debt reductions, offset by proceeds from potential property dispositions.


There can be no assurance that our capital requirements will not be materially higher or lower than the above expectations. We currently believe that we will generate sufficient cash flow from operations and potential property sales and have access to the capital resources necessary to fund our requirements for the remainder of 2021. However, as a result of the uncertainty of the general market conditions in the greater Washington, DC metro region, economic conditions affecting the ability to attract and retain tenants, declines in our share price, unfavorable changes in the supply of competing properties, or our properties not performing as expected, we may not generate sufficient cash flow from operations and property sales or otherwise have access to capital on favorable terms, or at all. If we are unable to obtain capital from other sources, we may need to alter capital spending to be materially different than what is stated above. If capital were not available, we may be unable to satisfy the distribution requirement applicable to REITs, make required principal and interest payments, make strategic acquisitions or make necessary and/or routine capital improvements or undertake improvement/redevelopment opportunities with respect to our existing portfolio of operating assets.

Debt Financing


We generally use secured or unsecured, corporate-level debt, including unsecured notes, our Revolving Credit Facility, bank term loans and mortgages to meet our borrowing needs. Long-term, we generally use fixed rate debt instruments in order to match the returns from our real estate assets. If we issue unsecured debt in the future, we would seek to “ladder” the maturities of our debt to mitigate exposure to interest rate risk in any particular future year. We also utilize variable rate debt for short-term financing purposes. At times, our mix of variable and fixed rate debt may not suit our needs. At those times, we may use derivative financial instruments including interest rate swaps and caps, forward interest rate options or interest rate options in order to assist us in managing our debt mix. We may either hedge our variable rate debt to give it an effective fixed interest rate or hedge fixed rate debt to give it an effective variable interest rate.

Debt Covenants

Pursuant to the terms of our Revolving Credit Facility, 2018 Term Loan and unsecured notes, we are subject to customary operating covenants with which we must comply. and maintenance of various financial ratios.

Failure to comply with any of the covenants under our mortgage notes could result in a default under one or more of our debt instruments. This could cause our debt holders to accelerate the timing of payments and would therefore have a material adverse effect on our business, operations, financial condition and liquidity. As of September 30, 2017, we were in compliance with our mortgage notes covenants.

Lines of Credit and Term Loan

Our primary source of liquidity is our Revolving Credit Facility, a $600.0 million2018 Term Loan, unsecured credit agreement that matures in June 2019, unless extended pursuant to one or both of the two six-month extension options. The Revolving Credit Facility has an accordion feature that allows us to increase the facility to $1.0 billion, subject to the extent the lenders agree to provide additional revolving loan commitments or term loans. In September 2015, we entered into a $150.0 million unsecured term loan by exercising a portion of the accordion feature under the Revolving Credit Facility (as discussed below). The $600.0 million committed capacity of the unsecured line of credit under the Revolving Credit Facility was not changed as a result of the incurrence of the term loan. The Revolving Credit Facility bears interest at a rate of either one month LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 0.875% to 1.55% (depending on our credit rating) or the base rate plus a margin ranging from 0.0% to 0.55% (based upon our credit rating). The base rate is the highest of the administrative agent’s prime rate, the federal funds rate plus 0.50% and the one month LIBOR market index rate plus 1.0%. In addition, the Revolving Credit Facility requires the payment of a facility fee ranging from 0.125% to 0.30% (depending on our credit rating) on the $600.0 million committed capacity, without regard to usage. As of September 30, 2017, the interest rate on the facility is one month LIBOR plus 1.00% and the facility fee is 0.20%. We had $189.0 million in borrowings outstanding as of September 30, 2017.

During the third quarter of 2015, we executed a $150.0 million unsecured term loan by exercising a portion of the accordion feature under the Revolving Credit Facility. The term loan has a 5.5 year term scheduled to mature on March 15, 2021 and currently has an interest rate of one month LIBOR plus 110 basis points, based on our current unsecured debt ratings. We entered into two interest rate swap arrangements with a total notional amount of $150.0 million to swap the floating interest rate under the term loan to an all-in fixed interest rate of 2.7% starting on October 15, 2015 and extending until the maturity of the term loan on March 15, 2021.

The Revolving Credit Facility contains financial and other covenants with which we must comply. Failure to comply with any of the covenants under the Revolving Credit Facilitynotes or other debt instruments could result in a default under one or more of our debt instruments. This could cause our lenders to accelerate the timing of payments and could therefore have a material adverse effect on our business, operations, financial condition and liquidity. In addition, our ability to draw on theour Revolving Credit Facility or incur other unsecured debt in the future could be restricted by the loandebt covenants.

As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2021, we were in compliance with our loan covenants.

Notes Payable

We generally issue unsecured notes to fund our real estate assets long-term. In issuing future unsecured notes, we intend to ladder the maturities of our debt to mitigate exposure to interest rate risk in future years.

During the third quarter of 2016, we entered into a seven year, $150.0 million unsecured term loan (“2016 Term Loan”) maturing on July 21, 2023 with a deferred draw period of up to six months commencing on July 22, 2016. The 2016 Term Loan bears interest at a rate of either LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 1.50% to 2.45% or the base rate plus a margin ranging from 0.5% to 1.45% (in each case depending upon our credit rating). The base rate is the highest of the administrative agent’s prime rate, the federal funds rate plus 0.50% and one-month LIBOR plus 1.0%. The 2016 Term Loan currently has an interest rate of one month LIBOR plus 165 basis points, based on our current unsecured debt ratings. We borrowed $100.0 million on the term loan in the fourth quarter of 2016, and borrowed the remaining $50.0 million during the first quarter of 2017. We used the proceeds to refinance maturing secured debt. We also entered into forward interest rate swaps commencing on March 31, 2017 to effectively fix the interest rate on the 2016 Term Loan at 2.9% (see note 7 to the consolidated financial statements).

Our unsecured notes contain covenants with which we must comply. Failure to comply with any of the covenants under our unsecured notes could result in a default under one or more of our debt instruments. This could cause our debt holdersrelated to accelerate the timing of payments and would therefore have a material adverse effect on our business, operations, financial condition and liquidity. As of September 30, 2017, we were in compliance with our unsecured notes covenants. In addition, our ability to draw on our Revolving Credit Facility, or incur other2018 Term Loan, and unsecured debt in the future could be restricted by our unsecured note covenants.notes.

From time to time, we may seek to repurchase and cancel our outstanding notes through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such repurchases, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors.

Dividends

We currently declare dividends quarterly at a rate of $0.30 per share. The maintenance of our dividend level is subject to various factors reviewed by the board of trustees in its discretion. These factors include our results of operations, the availability of cash and the REIT distribution requirements, which require at least 90% of our REIT taxable income to be distributed to shareholders on an annual basis. When setting the dividend level, our board of trustees looks in particular at trends in our level of funds from operations, together with associated recurring capital improvements, tenant improvements, leasing commissions and incentives, and adjustments to straight-line rents to reflect cash rents received.

Our dividend and distribution payments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 are as follows (in thousands):

Dividends paid during the 2017 Quarter and 2017 Period increased primarily due to the issuance of 6.2 million common shares during 2016 and 3.6 million common shares during 2017.


Historical Cash Flows


Cash flows from operations are an important factor in our ability to sustain our dividend at its current rate. If our cash flows from operations were to decline significantly from current levels, we may have to reduce our dividend. Consolidated cash flow information is summarized as follows (in thousands):

Funds From Operations


NAREIT FFO is a widely used measure of operating performance for real estate companies. We provideIn its 2018 NAREIT FFO as a supplemental measure to net income calculated in accordance with GAAP. Although NAREIT FFO is a widely used measure of operating performance for REITs, NAREIT FFO does not represent net income calculated in accordance with GAAP. As such, it should not be considered an alternative to net income as an indication of our operating performance. In addition, NAREIT FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP, nor does it represent cash available to pay distributions and should not be considered as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities, determined in accordance with GAAP, as a measure of our liquidity. In its April, 2002 White Paper,Whitepaper Restatement, the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, Inc. (“NAREIT”) definesdefined NAREIT FFO as net income (computed in accordance with GAAP) excluding gains (or losses) associated with sales of properties,properties; impairments of depreciable real estate, and real estate depreciation and amortization. We consider NAREIT FFO to be a standard supplemental measure for equity REITs because it facilitates an understanding of the operating performance of our properties without giving effect to real estate depreciation and amortization, which historically assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values have instead historically risen or fallen with market conditions, we believe that NAREIT FFO more accurately provides investors an indication of our ability to incur and service debt, make capital expenditures and fund other needs. Our NAREIT FFO may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs. These other REITs may not define the term in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or may interpret the current NAREIT definition differently. NAREIT FFO is a non-GAAP measure.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates


We base the discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. There were no changes made by management to the critical accounting policies in the three and six months ended June 30, 2021. We discuss the most critical estimates in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20162020 filed with the SEC on February 21, 2017.16, 2021.

ITEM 3: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK


The principal material financial market risk to which we are exposed is interest rate risk. Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to refinancing long-term fixed rate obligations, the opportunity cost of fixed rate obligations in a falling interest rate environment and our variable rate linesline of credit.

We enteredenter into the interest rate swap arrangements designated and qualifying as cash flow hedges to reduce our exposure to the variability in future cash flows attributable to changes in interest rates. Derivative instruments expose us to credit risk in the event of non-performance by the counterparty under the terms of the interest rate hedge agreement. We believe that we minimize our credit risk on these transactions by dealing with major, creditworthy financial institutions. As part of our ongoing control procedures, we monitor the credit ratings of counterparties and our exposure to any single entity, thus minimizing our credit risk concentration.

We enter into debt obligations primarily to support general corporate purposes including acquisition of real estate properties, capital improvements and working capital needs.


We currently expect to use a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Office and potential sale of the Retail Portfolios to prepay a $150.0 million portion of the 2018 Term Loan during the third quarter of 2021. We expect to hold the remaining $100.0 million portion of the 2018 Term Loan until maturity. Due to this intention to prepay a $150.0 million portion of the 2018 Term Loan, we have determined that the hedged transactions for the five interest rate swap arrangements with an aggregate notional value of $150.0 million are probable not to occur and that these interest swap arrangements are no longer effective cash flow hedges as of June 30, 2021. As a result, we recognized a loss of $5.8 million for the 2021 Quarter, which was recorded to Loss on interest rate derivatives on our condensed consolidated statements of operations. The interest rate swap arrangement with a notional value of
40


$100.0 million related to the remaining portion of the 2018 Term Loan that we intend to hold to maturity is an effective cash flow hedge as of June 30, 2021.

As the majority of our outstanding debt is long-term, fixed rate debt, our interest rate risk has not changed significantly from what was disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20162020 filed with the SEC on February 21, 2017.16, 2021. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Liquidity and Capital Resources – Debt Financing.”

ITEM 4: CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES


We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Securities Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Accounting Officer, and Controller, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.


We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Accounting Officer, and Controller, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Accounting Officer and Controller concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

During the third quarter of 2017, we implemented upgrades to our accounting information systems. The implementation of our upgraded systems was not made in response to any identified deficiency or weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting. The implementation was subject to various testing and review procedures prior to and after execution. We have updated our internal controls over financial reporting, as necessary, to accommodate any modifications to our business processes or accounting procedures due to the implementation. Management does not believe that the implementation of the upgraded systems has had an adverse effect on our internal controls over financial reporting and will continue to monitor, test and evaluate the systems during the post-implementation period to ensure that adequate controls over financial reporting continue to be maintained.
There have not been any other changes in Washington REIT’sWashREIT’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined by Rule 13a-15(f)) that occurred during the period covered by the report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, Washington REIT’sWashREIT’s internal control over financial reporting.
