2.Summary of significant accounting policies


Reclassifications
Certain prior-period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current-period presentation. Refer to the “Lease Accounting” section within this Note 2 – “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.”

Consolidation


On an ongoing basis, as circumstances indicate the need for reconsideration, we evaluate each legal entity that is not wholly owned by us in accordance with the consolidation guidance. Our evaluation considers all of our variable interests, including equity ownership, as well as fees paid to us for our involvement in the management of each partially owned entity. To fall within the scope of the consolidation guidance, an entity must meet both of the following criteria:


The entity has a legal structure that has been established to conduct business activities and to hold assets; such entity can be in the form of a partnership, limited liability company, or corporation, among others; and
We have a variable interest in the legal entity – i.e., variable interests that are contractual, such as equity ownership, or other financial interests that change with changes in the fair value of the entity’s net assets.


If an entity does not meet both criteria above, we apply other accounting literature, such as the cost or equity method of accounting. If an entity does meet both criteria above, we evaluate such entity for consolidation under either the variable interest model if the legal entity meets any of the following characteristics to qualify as a VIE, or under the voting model for all other legal entities that are not VIEs.


A legal entity is determined to be a VIE if it has any of the following three characteristics:


1)The entity does not have sufficient equity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support;
2)The entity is established with non-substantive voting rights (i.e., where the entity deprives the majority economic interest holder(s) of voting rights); or
3)The equity holders, as a group, lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. Equity holders meet this criterion if they lack any of the following:
The power, through voting rights or similar rights, to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly influence the entity’s economic performance, as evidenced by:
Substantive participating rights in day-to-day management of the entity’s activities; or
Substantive kick-out rights over the party responsible for significant decisions;
The obligation to absorb the entity’s expected losses; or
The right to receive the entity’s expected residual returns.






2.Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)



Once we consider the sufficiency of equity and voting rights of each legal entity, we then evaluate the characteristics of the equity holders’ interests, as a group, to see if they qualify as controlling financial interests. Our real estate joint ventures consist of limited partnerships or limited liability companies. For an entity structured as a limited partnership or a limited liability company, our evaluation of whether the equity holders (equity partners other than us in each of our joint ventures) lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest includes the evaluation of whether the limited partners or non-managing members (the noncontrolling equity holders) lack both substantive participating rights and substantive kick-out rights, defined as follows:


Participating rights provide the noncontrolling equity holders the ability to direct significant financial and operating decisions made in the ordinary course of business that most significantly influence the entity’s economic performance.
Kick-out rights allow the noncontrolling equity holders to remove the general partner or managing member without cause.


If we conclude that any of the three characteristics of a VIE are met, including that the equity holders lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest because they lack both substantive participating rights and substantive kick-out rights, we conclude that the entity is a VIE and evaluate it for consolidation under the variable interest model.


Variable interest model


If an entity is determined to be a VIE, we evaluate whether we are the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary analysis is a qualitative analysis based on power and benefits. We consolidate a VIE if we have both power and benefits – that is, (i) we have the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly influence the VIE’s economic performance (power), and (ii) we have the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE, or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially could be significant to the VIE (benefits). We consolidate VIEs whenever we determine that we are the primary beneficiary. Refer to Note 34“Investments in“Consolidated and Unconsolidated Real Estate”Estate Joint Ventures” to these unaudited consolidated financial statements for information on specific joint ventures that qualify as VIEs. If we have a variable interest in a VIE but we are not the primary beneficiary, we account for our investment using the equity method of accounting.


Voting model


If a legal entity fails to meet any of the three characteristics of a VIE (due to insufficiency of equity, existence of non-substantive voting rights, or lack of a controlling financial interest), we then evaluate such entity under the voting model. Under the voting model, we consolidate the entity if we determine that we, directly or indirectly, have greater than 50% of the voting shares and that other equity holders do not have substantive participating rights. Refer to Note 4 – “Investments in“Consolidated and Unconsolidated Real Estate Joint Ventures” to these unaudited consolidated financial statements for further information on one of our unconsolidated real estate joint ventures that qualifiesqualify for evaluation under the voting model.


Use of estimates


The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and equity; the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements; and the amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.


Investments in real estate and properties classified as held for sale

In January 2017, the FASB issued an ASU that clarifies the framework for determining whether an integrated set of assets and activities meets the definition of a business. The revised framework establishes a screen for determining whether an integrated set of assets and activities is a business and narrows the definition of a business, which is expected to result in fewer real estate transactions being accounted for as business combinations. Acquisitions of integrated sets of assets and activities that do not meet the definition of a business are accounted for as asset acquisitions. We early adopted this accounting standard effective October 1, 2016, and since then have evaluated all of our acquisitions under the new framework.



2.Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)


Evaluation of business combination or asset acquisition


We evaluate each acquisition of real estate or in-substance real estate (including equity interests in entities that predominantly hold real estate assets) to determine whether the integrated set of assets and activities acquired meets the definition of a business and needs to be accounted for as a business combination. An acquisition of an integrated set of assets and activities that does not meet the definition of a business and need to beis accounted for as a business combination.an asset acquisition. If either of the following criteria is met, the integrated set of assets and activities acquired would not qualify as a business:


Substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in either a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets; or
The integrated set of assets and activities is lacking, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs (i.e., revenue generated before and after the transaction).


An acquired process is considered substantive if:


The process includes an organized workforce (or includes an acquired contract that provides access to an organized workforce) that is skilled, knowledgeable, and experienced in performing the process;
The process cannot be replaced without significant cost, effort, or delay; or
The process is considered unique or scarce.



2.Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)



Generally, we expect that acquisitions of real estate or in-substance real estate will not meet the revised definition of a business because substantially all of the fair value is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets (i.e., land, buildings, and related intangible assets) or because the acquisition does not include a substantive process in the form of an acquired workforce or an acquired contract that cannot be replaced without significant cost, effort, or delay. When evaluating acquired service or management contracts, we consider the nature of the services performed, the terms of the contract relative to similar arm’s lengtharm’s-length contracts, and the availability of comparable vendors in evaluating whether the acquired contract constitutes a substantive process.


Recognition of real estate acquired


We evaluate each acquisition of real estate or in-substance real estate (including equity interests in entities that predominantly hold real estate assets) to determine whether the integrated set of assets and activities acquired meets the definition of a business and needs to be accounted for as a business combination. An acquisition of an integrated set of assets and activities that does not meet the definition of a business is accounted for as an asset acquisition.

For acquisitions of real estate or in-substance real estate that are accounted for as business combinations, we recognizeallocate the acquisition consideration (excluding acquisition costs) to the assets acquired, (including the intangible value of acquired above- or below-market leases, acquired in-place leases, tenant relationships, and other intangible assets or liabilities), liabilities assumed, noncontrolling interests, and previously existing ownership interests at fair value as of the acquisition date. Assets include intangible assets such as tenant relationships, acquired in-place leases, and favorable intangibles associated with in-place leases in which we are the lessor. Liabilities include unfavorable intangibles associated with in-place leases in which we are the lessor. In addition, for acquired in-place operating leases in which we are the lessee, acquisition consideration is allocated to lease liabilities and related right-of-use assets, adjusted to reflect favorable or unfavorable terms of the lease when compared with market terms. Any excess (deficit) of the consideration transferred relative to the fair value of the net assets acquired is accounted for as goodwill (bargain purchase gain). Acquisition costs related to business combinations are expensed as incurred.


AcquisitionsGenerally, we expect that acquisitions of real estate andor in-substance real estate that dowill not meet the definition of a business are accounted for asbecause substantially all of the fair value is concentrated in a single identifiable asset acquisitions.or group of similar identifiable assets (i.e., land, buildings, and related intangible assets). The accounting model for asset acquisitions is similar to the accounting model for business combinations, except that the acquisition consideration (including acquisition costs) is allocated to the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed on a relative fair value basis. Any excess (deficit) of the consideration transferred relative to the sum of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is allocated to the individual assets and liabilities based on their relative fair values. As a result, asset acquisitions do not result in the recognition of goodwill or a bargain purchase gain. Additionally, becauseIncremental and external direct acquisition costs (such as legal and third-party services) are capitalized.

We exercise judgment to determine the accounting model for asset acquisitions is a cost accumulation model, preexisting interests in the acquired assets, if any, are not remeasured to fair value but continue to be accounted for at their historical cost.

The relative fair valueskey assumptions used to allocate the costpurchase price of an asset acquisition are determined by the same methodologies and assumptions we utilize to determine fair value in a business combination.

If a real estate property is acquired withamong its components. The allocation of the consideration to the various components of properties acquired during the year can have an in-place leaseeffect on our net income due to the differing depreciable and amortizable lives of each component and the recognition of the related depreciation and amortization expense in our consolidated statements of income. We apply judgment in utilizing available comparable market information to assess relative fair value.

The value of tangible assets acquired is based upon our estimation of fair value on an “as if vacant” basis.

The values allocated to buildings and building improvements, land improvements, tenant improvements, and equipment are depreciated on a straight-line basis using the shorter of the term of the respective ground lease andterm, estimated useful life, or up to 40 years, for buildings and building improvements, an estimated life, ofor up to 20 years, for land improvements, the respective lease term or estimated useful life for tenant improvements, and the shorter of the lease term or estimated useful life for equipment. The values of acquired above- and below-market leases are amortized over the terms of the related leases and recognized as either increases (for below-market leases) or decreases (for above-market leases) to rental revenue. The values of acquired above- and below-market ground leases are amortized over the terms of the related ground leases and recognized as either increases (for below-market ground leases) or decreases (for above-market ground leases) to rental operating expense. The values of acquired in-place leases are classified in other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and amortized over the remaining terms of the related leases.




2.Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)


Capitalized project costs


We capitalize project costs, including pre-construction costs, interest, property taxes, insurance, and other costs directly related and essential to the development, redevelopment, pre-construction, or construction of a project. Capitalization of development, redevelopment, pre-construction, and construction costs is required while activities are ongoing to prepare an asset for its intended use. Fluctuations in our development, redevelopment, pre-construction, and construction activities could result in significant changes to total expenses and net income. Costs incurred after a project is substantially complete and ready for its intended use are expensed as incurred. Should development, redevelopment, pre-construction, or construction activity cease, interest, property taxes, insurance, and certain other costs would no longer be eligible for capitalization and would be expensed as incurred. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.


Real estate sales


A property is classified as held for sale when all of the following criteria for a plan of sale have been met: (i) management, having the authority to approve the action, commits to a plan to sell the property; (ii) the property is available for immediate sale in its present condition, subject only to terms that are usual and customary; (iii) an active program to locate a buyer and other actions required to complete the plan to sell have been initiated; (iv) the sale of the property is probable and is expected to be completed within one year; (v) the property is being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value; and (vi) actions necessary to complete the plan of sale indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn. Depreciation of assets ceases upon designation of a property as held for sale.


If the disposal of a property represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on our operations or financial results, such as (i) a major line of business, (ii) a major geographic area, (iii) a major equity method investment, or (iv) other major parts of an entity, then the operations of the property, including any interest expense directly attributable to it, are classified as discontinued operations in our consolidated statements of income, and amounts for all prior periods presented are reclassified from continuing operations to discontinued operations. The disposal of an individual property generally will not represent a strategic shift and therefore will typically not meet the criteria for classification as a discontinued operation.


We recognize gains/losses on real estate sales in accordance with the accounting standard on the derecognition of nonfinancial assets arising from contracts with noncustomers. Our ordinary output activities consist of the leasing of space to our tenants in our operating properties, not the sales of real estate. Therefore, sales of real estate (in which we are the seller) qualify as contracts with noncustomers. In our transactions with noncustomers, we apply certain recognition and measurement principles consistent with our method of recognizing revenue arising from contracts with customers. Derecognition of the asset is based on the transfer of control. If a real estate sales contract includes our ongoing involvement with the property, then we evaluate each promised good or service under the contract to determine whether it represents a separate performance obligation, constitutes a guarantee, or prevents the transfer of control. If a good or service is considered a separate performance obligation, an allocated portion of the transaction price is recognized as revenue as we transfer the related good or service to the buyer.

The recognition of gain or loss on the sale of a partial interest also depends on whether we retain a controlling or noncontrolling interest. If we retain a controlling interest upon completion of the sale, we continue to reflect the asset at its book value, record a noncontrolling interest for the book value of the partial interest sold, and recognize additional paid-in capital for the difference between the consideration received and the partial interest at book value. Conversely, if we retain a noncontrolling interest upon completion of the partial sale of real estate, we would recognize a gain or loss as if 100% of the real estate were sold.

Impairment of long-lived assets


On a quarterly basis,Prior to and subsequent to the end of each quarter, we review current activities and changes in the business conditions of all of our properties prior to and subsequent to the end of each quarterlong-lived assets to determine the existence of any triggering events or impairment indicators requiring an impairment analysis. If triggering events or impairment indicators are identified, we review an estimate of the future undiscounted cash flows, for the properties, including, if necessary, a probability-weighted approach if multiple outcomes are under consideration.



2.Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)


Long-lived assets to be held and used, including our rental properties, CIP, land held for development, right-of-use assets related to operating leases in which we are the lessee, and intangibles, are individually evaluated for impairment when conditions exist that may indicate that the carrying amount of a long-lived asset may not be recoverable. The carrying amount of a long-lived asset to be held and used is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. ImpairmentTriggering events or impairment indicators or triggering events for long-lived assets to be held and used including our rental properties, CIP, land held for development, and intangibles, are assessed by project and include significant fluctuations in estimated net operating income, occupancy changes, significant near-term lease expirations, current and historical operating and/or cash flow losses, construction costs, estimated completion dates, rental rates, and other market factors. We assess the expected undiscounted cash flows based upon numerous factors, including, but not limited to, construction costs, available market information, current and historical operating results, known trends, current market/economic conditions that may affect the property,asset, and our assumptions about the use of the asset, including, if necessary, a probability-weighted approach if multiple outcomes are under consideration.



2.Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)


Upon determination that an impairment has occurred, a write-down is recognized to reduce the carrying amount to its estimated fair value. If an impairment loss is not required to be recognized, the recognition of depreciation or amortization is adjusted prospectively, as necessary, to reduce the carrying amount of the real estate to its estimated disposition value over the remaining period that the real estateasset is expected to be held and used. We may adjust depreciation of properties that are expected to be disposed of or redeveloped prior to the end of their useful lives.


We use the held for sale impairment model for our properties classified as held for sale. The held for sale impairment model is different from the held and used impairment model. Under the held for sale impairment model, an impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of the long-lived asset classified as held for sale exceeds its fair value less cost to sell. Because of these two different models, it is possible for a long-lived asset previously classified as held and used to require the recognition of an impairment charge upon classification as held for sale.


International operations


In addition to operating properties in the U.S., we have three operating properties in Canada and one operating property in China. The functional currency for our subsidiaries operating in the U.S. is the U.S. dollar. The functional currencies for our foreign subsidiaries are the local currencies in each respective country. The assets and liabilities of our foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect as of the financial statement date. Income statement accounts of our foreign subsidiaries are translated using the weighted-average exchange rate for the periods presented. Gains or losses resulting from the translation are classified in accumulated other comprehensive income as a separate component of total equity.equity and are excluded from net income.


Whenever a foreign investment meets the criteria for classification as held for sale, we evaluate the recoverability of the investment under the held for sale impairment model. We may recognize an impairment charge if the carrying amount of the investment exceeds its fair value less cost to sell. In determining an investment’s carrying amount, we consider its net book value and any cumulative unrealized cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment related to the investment.


The appropriate amounts of foreign exchange rate gains or losses classified in accumulated other comprehensive income will beare reclassified to net income only when realized upon the sale of our investment or upon the complete or substantially complete liquidation of our investment.


Investments


We hold equity investments in certain publicly traded companies and investments in certain privately held entities and limited partnerships primarily involved in the life science and technology industries. AllAs a REIT, we generally limit our ownership percentage in the voting stock of oureach individual entity to less than 10%.

Our equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method and those that result in activelyconsolidation of the investee) are measured as follows:

Investments in publicly traded public companies are classified as investments with readily determinable fair values. These investments are carried at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in net income. The fair values for our investments in publicly traded companies are determined based on sales prices/quotes available on securities exchanges.
Investments in privately held entities without readily determinable fair values fall into two categories:
Investments in privately held entities that report NAV per share, such as our privately held investments in limited partnerships, are carried at fair value using NAV as a practical expedient with changes in fair value recognized in net income. We use NAV per share reported by limited partnerships without adjustment, unless we are aware of information indicating that the NAV per share reported by a limited partnership does not accurately reflect the fair value of the investment at our reporting date. We disclose the timing of liquidation of an investee’s assets and the date when redemption restrictions will lapse (or indicate if this timing is unknown) if the investee has communicated this information to us or has announced it publicly.
Investments in privately held entities that do not report NAV per share are accounted for using a measurement alternative that measures these investments at cost, adjusted for observable price changes and impairments, with changes recognized in net income.

For investments in privately held entities that do not report NAV per share, an observable price is a price observed in an orderly transaction for an identical or similar investment of the same issuer. Observable price changes result from, among other things, equity transactions for the same issuer executed during the reporting period, including subsequent equity offerings or other reported equity transactions related to the same issuer. For these transactions to be considered available-for-saleobservable price changes of the same issuer, we evaluate whether these transactions have similar rights and obligations, including voting rights, distribution preferences, conversion rights, and other factors, to the investments we hold.



2.Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)


We monitor investments in privately held entities that do not report NAV per share throughout the year for new developments, including operating results, prospects and results of clinical trials, new product initiatives, new collaborative agreements, capital-raising events, and merger and acquisition activities. These investments are reflectedevaluated on the basis of a qualitative assessment for indicators of impairment by monitoring the presence of the following triggering events or impairment indicators: (i) a significant deterioration in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets at fair value. Fair value has been determined based uponearnings performance, asset quality, or business prospects of the closing price asinvestee; (ii) a significant adverse change in the regulatory, economic, or technological environment of each balance sheet date, with unrealized gainsthe investee, (iii) a significant adverse change in the general market condition, including the research and losses showndevelopment of technology and products that the investee is bringing or attempting to bring to the market, or (iv) significant concerns about the investee’s ability to continue as a separate componentgoing concern. If such indicators are present, we are required to estimate the investment’s fair value and immediately recognize an impairment loss in an amount equal to the investment’s carrying value in excess of other comprehensive income. The classification of each investment is determined at the time each investment is made, and such determination is reevaluated at each balance sheet date. The cost of each investment sold is determined by the specific identification method, with realized gains or losses classified in other income in the accompanying consolidated statements of income. its estimated fair value.

Investments in privately held entities are generally accounted for under the cost method when our interest in the entity is so minor that we have virtually no influence over the entity’s operating and financial policies. Certain investments in privately held entities require accounting under the equity method, unless our interest in the entity is deemed to be so minor that we have virtually no influence over the entity’s operating and financial policies. Under the equity method of accounting, we initially recognize our investment initially at cost and adjust the carrying amount of the investment to recognize our share of the earnings or losses of the investee subsequent to the date of our investment. Additionally, we generally limitWe had no investments accounted for under the equity method as of June 30, 2019.

We recognize both realized and unrealized gains and losses in our ownership percentageconsolidated statements of income, classified within investment income. Unrealized gains and losses represent changes in fair value for investments in publicly traded companies, changes in NAV, as a practical expedient to estimate fair value, for investments in privately held entities that report NAV per share, and observable price changes on our investments in privately held entities that do not report NAV per share. Impairments are realized losses, which result in an adjusted cost, and represent charges to reduce the voting stockcarrying values of each individual entityinvestments in privately held entities that do not report NAV per share to less than 10%.their estimated fair value. Realized gains and losses represent the difference between proceeds received upon disposition of investments and their historical or adjusted cost.

2.Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)



Lease accounting

Transition
On January 1, 2019, we adopted a new lease accounting standard that sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of leases for both parties to a lease agreement (i.e., lessees and lessors). The new lease accounting standard requires the use of the modified retrospective transition method. Upon adoption of the new lease accounting standard, we elected the following practical expedients and accounting policies provided by this lease standard:
Package of practical expedients – requires us not to reevaluate our existing or expired leases as of January 1, 2019, under the new lease accounting standard.
Optional transition method practical expedient – requires us to apply the new lease accounting standard prospectively from the adoption date of January 1, 2019.
Single component accounting policy – requires us to account for lease and nonlease components within a lease under the new lease accounting standard if certain criteria are met.
Land easements practical expedient – requires us to continue to account for land easements existing as of January 1, 2019, under the accounting standards applied to them prior to January 1, 2019.
Short-term lease accounting policy – requires us not to record the related lease liabilities and right-of-use assets for operating leases in which we are the lessee with a term of 12 months or less.

Upon adoption of the new lease accounting standard, we elected the package of practical expedients and the optional transition method, which permitted January 1, 2019 to be our initial application date. Our election of the package of practical expedients and the optional transition method allowed us not to reassess:
Whether any contracts effective prior to January 1, 2019, are leases or contain leases. This practical expedient is primarily applicable to entities that have contracts containing embedded leases. As of December 31, 2018, we had no such contracts; therefore, this practical expedient had no effect on us.
The lease classification for any leases that commenced prior to January 1, 2019. Our election of the package of practical expedients requires us not to revisit the classification of our leases that commenced prior to January 1, 2019. For example, all of our leases that were classified as operating leases in accordance with the lease accounting standards in effect prior to January 1, 2019, continue to be classified as operating leases after adoption of the new lease accounting standard.
Previously capitalized initial direct costs for any leases that commenced prior to January 1, 2019. Our election of the package of practical expedients and the optional transition method requires us not to reassess whether initial direct leasing costs capitalized prior to the adoption of the new lease accounting standard in connection with the leases that commenced prior to January 1, 2019, qualify for capitalization under the new lease accounting standard.

We periodically assessapplied the package of practical expedients consistently to all leases (i.e., in which we are the lessee or the lessor) that commenced before January 1, 2019. The election of this package permits us to “run off” our investmentsleases that commenced before January 1, 2019, for the remainder of their lease terms and to apply the new lease accounting standard to leases commencing or modified after January 1, 2019.

For our leases that had commenced prior to January 1, 2019, under the package of practical expedients and optional transition method we are not required to reassess whether initial direct leasing costs capitalized prior to the adoption of the new lease accounting standard in available-for-sale equity securitiesconnection with such leases qualified for capitalization under the new lease accounting standard. Therefore, we continue to amortize these initial direct leasing costs over their respective lease terms.

On January 1, 2019, as required by the new lease accounting standard, we recognized a cumulative adjustment to retained earnings aggregating $3.5 million to write off initial direct leasing costs that were capitalized in connection with leases that were executed but had not commenced before January 1, 2019. These costs were capitalized in accordance with the lease accounting standards existing prior to January 1, 2019, and privately held companieswould not qualify for capitalization under the new lease accounting standard.



2.Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)


Under the package of practical expedients that we elected upon adoption of the new lease accounting standard, all of our operating leases existing as of January 1, 2019, for which we are the lessee, continue to be classified as operating leases subsequent to the adoption of the new lease accounting standard. In accordance with the new lease accounting standard, we were required to classify in our consolidated balance sheets the present value of remaining future rental payments aggregating $590.3 million related to ground and office leases in which we are the lessee existing as of January 1, 2019. Consequently, on January 1, 2019, we recognized a lease liability aggregating $218.7 million classified within accounts payable, accrued expenses, and tenant security deposits in our consolidated balance sheets, which included approximately $27.0 million reclassified out of the deferred rent liabilities balance in accordance with the new lease standard. We have also recognized a corresponding right-of-use asset, which was classified within other assets in our consolidated balance sheets. The present value of the remaining lease payments was calculated for each operating lease existing as of January 1, 2019, in which we were the lessee by using each respective remaining lease term and a corresponding estimated incremental borrowing rate. The incremental borrowing rate is the interest rate that we estimated we would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term for an amount equal to the lease payments.

Subsequent application of the new lease accounting guidance

Definition of a lease

Effective January 1, 2019, when we enter into a contract or amend an existing contract, we evaluate whether the contract meets the definition of a lease. To meet the definition of a lease, the contract must meet all three criteria:

(i)One party (lessor) must hold an identified asset,
(ii)The counterparty (lessee) must have the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the asset throughout the period of the contract, and
(iii)The counterparty (lessee) must have the right to direct the use of the identified asset throughout the period of the contract.

Lease classification

The new lease accounting standard also sets new criteria for determining the classification of finance leases for lessees and sales-type leases for lessors. The criteria to determine whether a lease should be accounted for as a finance/sales-type lease include any of the following:

(i)Ownership is transferred from lessor to lessee by the end of the lease term,
(ii)An option to purchase is reasonably certain to be exercised,
(iii)The lease term is for the major part of the underlying asset’s remaining economic life,
(iv)The present value of lease payments equals or exceeds substantially all of the fair value of the underlying asset, or
(v)The underlying asset is specialized and is expected to have no alternative use at the end of the lease term.

If any of these criteria is met, a lease is classified as a finance lease by the lessee and as a sales-type lease by the lessor. If none of the criteria are met, a lease is classified as an operating lease by the lessee but may still qualify as a direct financing lease or an operating lease for the lessor. The existence of a residual value guarantee from an unrelated third party other than the lessee may qualify the lease as a direct financing lease by the lessor. Otherwise, the lease is classified as an operating lease by the lessor. Therefore, under the costnew lease accounting standard, lessees apply a dual approach by classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether the lease is effectively a financed purchase of the leased asset by the lessee. This classification will determine whether the lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, which corresponds to a similar evaluation performed by lessors.

Lessor accounting

Costs to execute leases

The new lease accounting standard requires that lessors (and, if applicable, lessees) capitalize, as initial direct costs, only incremental costs of a lease that would not have been incurred if the lease had not been obtained. Costs that we incur to negotiate or arrange a lease, regardless of its outcome, such as for other-than-temporary impairment. fixed employee compensation, tax, or legal advice to negotiate lease terms, and other costs are expensed as incurred.

Operating leases

We monitoraccount for the revenue from our lease contracts utilizing the single component accounting policy. This policy requires us to account for, by class of underlying asset, the lease component and nonlease component(s) associated with each lease as a single component if two criteria are met:

(i)The timing and pattern of transfer of the lease component and the nonlease component(s) associated with it are the same,
(ii)The lease component would be classified as an operating lease if it were accounted for separately.


2.Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)


Lease components consist primarily of fixed rental payments, which represent scheduled rental amounts due under our leases, and contingent rental payments. Nonlease components consist primarily of tenant recoveries representing reimbursements of rental operating expenses under our triple net lease structure, including recoveries for utilities, repairs and maintenance, and common area expenses.

If the lease component is the predominant component, we account for all revenues under such lease as a single component in accordance with the new lease accounting standard. Conversely, if the nonlease component is the predominant component, all revenues under such lease are accounted for in accordance with the revenue recognition accounting standard. Our operating leases qualify for the single component accounting, and the lease component in each of our investments throughoutleases is predominant. Therefore, we account for all revenues from our operating leases under the year for new developments, including operating results, resultslease accounting standard and classify these revenues as income from rentals in our consolidated statements of clinical trials, capital-raising events, and merger and acquisition activities. Individual investments are evaluated for impairment when changes in conditions may indicate an impairment exists. The factors that we consider in making these assessments include, but are not limited to, market prices, market conditions, available financing, prospects for favorable or unfavorable clinical trial results, new product initiatives, and new collaborative agreements. If an unrealized lossincome.

We commence recognition of income from rentals related to an available-for-sale equity securitythe operating leases at the date the property is determinedready for its intended use by the tenant and the tenant takes possession, or controls the physical use, of the leased asset. Income from rentals related to be other-than-temporary, such unrealized loss is reclassified from other comprehensive income into current earnings. For a cost method investment, if a decline in the fair value of an investment below its carrying value is determined to be other-than-temporary, such investment is written down to its estimated fair value with a charge to current earnings. If there are no identified events or changes in circumstances that might have an adverse effect on our cost method investments, we do not estimate the investment’s fair value. Refer to Note 5 – “Investments” to these unaudited consolidated financial statements for further information.

Recognition offixed rental income and tenant recoveries

Rental revenue frompayments under operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the respective operating lease terms. We classify amounts currently recognized as rental revenue in our consolidated statements of income, and amounts expected to be received in later yearsperiods as deferred rent in the accompanyingour consolidated balance sheets. Amounts received currently but recognized as revenue in future yearsperiods are classified in accounts payable, accrued expenses, and tenant security deposits in the accompanyingour consolidated balance sheets. We commence recognition

Income from rentals related to variable payments includes tenant recoveries and contingent rental payments. Tenant recoveries, including reimbursements of utilities, repairs and maintenance, common area expenses, real estate taxes and insurance, and other operating expenses, are recognized as revenue in the period during which the applicable expenses are incurred and the tenant’s obligation to reimburse us arises. Income from rentals related to other variable payments is recognized when associated contingencies are removed.

Subsequent to lease commencement, we assess collectibility from our tenants of future lease payments for each of our operating leases. If we determine that collectibility is probable, we recognize income from rentals based on the methodology described above. If we determine that collectibility is not probable, we recognize an adjustment to lower our income from rentals. As of June 30, 2019, we assessed the collectibility of future lease payments under operating leases in which we are the lessor and determined that collectibility was probable.

Reclassification of the prior-year presentation of rental revenue atrevenues and tenant recoveries

Upon adoption of the new lease accounting standard, our comparative income statements of prior years have been reclassified to conform to the new single component presentation of rental revenues and tenant recoveries.

Direct financing and sales-type leases

As of June 30, 2019, we had one direct financing leaseslease and no sales-type leases. Income from rentals related to our direct financing lease is recognized over the lease term using the effective interest rate method. At lease inception,commencement, we record an asset within other assets in our consolidated balance sheets, which represents our net investment in the direct financing lease. This initial net investment is determined by aggregating the total future minimum lease payments attributable to the direct financing lease and the estimated residual value of the property less unearned income. Over the lease term, the investment in the direct financing lease is reduced and rental income is recognized as rental revenueincome from rentals in our consolidated statements of income, and producesproducing a constant periodic rate of return on the net investment in the direct financing lease.

2.Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)


Subsequent to reimbursementlease commencement, we assess collectibility from our tenants of future lease payments. If we determine that collectibility is probable, we recognize income from rentals based on the methodology described above. If we determine that collectibility is not probable, we evaluate our net investment in the direct financing lease for impairment. Upon determination that an impairment has occurred, an impairment charge is recognized to reduce the carrying balance in the net investment in the direct financing lease to its estimated fair value. As of June 30, 2019, we assessed the collectibility of future lease payments under our direct financing lease, and determined that collectibility was probable.

Lessee accounting

We have operating lease agreements in which we are the lessee consisting of ground and office leases. At the lease commencement date (or at the acquisition date if the lease is acquired as part of a real estate taxes, insurance, utilities, repairsacquisition), we are required to recognize a liability to account for our future obligations under these operating leases, and maintenance, common areaa corresponding right-of-use asset.

The lease liability is measured based on the present value of the future lease payments, including payments during the term under our extension options that we are reasonably certain to exercise. The present value of the future lease payments is calculated for each operating lease using each respective remaining lease term and a corresponding estimated incremental borrowing rate, which is the interest rate that we estimate we would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term for an amount equal to the lease payments. Subsequently, the lease liability is accreted by applying a discount rate established at the lease commencement date to the lease liability balance as of the beginning of the period, and is reduced by the payments made during the period. We classify the operating lease liability in accounts payable, accrued expenses, and tenant security deposits in our consolidated balance sheets.

The right-of-use asset is measured based on the corresponding lease liability, adjusted for initial direct leasing costs and any other operating expenses are recognized as revenue inconsideration exchanged with the period during whichlandlord prior to the applicable expenses are incurred and the tenant’s obligation to reimburse us arises.

Tenant receivables consist primarily of amounts due for contractual lease payments, reimbursements of common area maintenance expenses, property taxes, and other expenses recoverable from tenants. Tenant receivables are expected to be collected within one year. We may maintain an allowance for estimated losses that may result from the inability of our tenants to make payments required under the termscommencement of the lease, and for tenant recoveries due.

Subsequently, the right-of-use asset is amortized on a tenant fails to make contractual payments beyond any allowance, we maystraight-line basis during the lease term. We classify the right-of-use asset in other assets in our consolidated balance sheets.

Recognition of revenue arising from contracts with customers

We recognize additional bad debt expense in future periods equalrevenues associated with transactions arising from contracts with customers, excluding revenues subject to the new lease accounting standard discussed in the “Lease Accounting” section above, in accordance with the revenue recognition accounting standard. A customer is distinguished from a noncustomer by the nature of the goods or services that are transferred. Customers are provided with goods or services that are generated by a company’s ordinary output activities, whereas noncustomers are provided with nonfinancial assets that are outside of a company’s ordinary output activities.
We generally recognize revenue representing the transfer of goods and services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which we expect to be entitled in the exchange. In order to determine the recognition of revenue from customer contracts, we use a five-step model to (i) identify the contract with the customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, including variable consideration to the extent that it is probable that a significant future reversal will not occur, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) we satisfy the performance obligation.

We identify contractual performance obligations and determine whether revenue should be recognized at a point in time or over time, based on when control of goods and services transfers to a customer. We consider whether we control the goods or services prior to the transfer to the customer in order to determine whether we should account for the arrangement as a principal or agent. If we determine that we control the goods or services provided to the customer, then we are the principal to the transaction, and we recognize the gross amount of uncollectible tenant receivablesconsideration expected in the exchange. If we simply arrange but do not control the goods or services being transferred to the customer, then we are considered to be an agent to the transaction, and deferred rent arisingwe recognize the net amount of consideration we are entitled to retain in the exchange.

Total revenues subject to the revenue recognition accounting standard for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, included $12.6 million and $23.4 million, respectively, primarily related to short-term parking revenues associated with long-term lease agreements. These revenues are classified within income from rentals in our consolidated income statements. Short-term parking revenues do not qualify for the straight-liningsingle lease component practical expedient, discussed in the “Lessor Accounting” subsection of rent. Asthe “Lease Accounting” section within this Note 2, due to the difference in the timing and pattern of September 30, 2017,transfer of our parking service obligations and December 31, 2016, no allowance for uncollectible tenant receivablesassociated lease components within the same lease agreement. We recognize short-term parking revenues in accordance with the revenue recognition accounting standard when the services are provided and deferred rent was deemed necessary.the performance obligations are satisfied, which normally occurs at a point in time.

Monitoring of tenant credit quality


During the term of each lease, we monitor the credit quality and any related material changes of our tenants by (i) monitoring the credit rating of tenants that are rated by a nationally recognized credit rating agency, (ii) reviewing financial statements of the tenants that are publicly available or that are required to be delivered to us pursuant to the applicable lease, (iii) monitoring news reports regarding our tenants and their respective businesses, and (iv) monitoring the timeliness of lease payments. We have a research team consisting of employees who, among them, have doctorate, graduate, and undergraduate degrees in biology, chemistry, industrial biotechnology, and engineering, and experience in the life science and technology industries, as well as in finance. Our research team is responsible for assessing and monitoring the credit quality of our tenants and any material changes in their credit quality.

Income taxes


We are organized and operate as a REIT pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”). Under the Code, a REIT that distributes at least 90% of its REIT taxable income to its shareholdersstockholders annually (excluding net capital gains) and meets certain other conditions is not subject to federal income tax on its distributed taxable income, but could be subject to certain federal, foreign, state, and local taxes. We distribute 100% of our taxable income annually; therefore, a provision for federal income taxes is not required. In addition to our REIT returns, we file federal, foreign, state, and local tax returns for our subsidiaries. We file with jurisdictions located in the U.S., Canada, India, China, and other international locations. Our tax returns are subject to routine examination in various jurisdictions for the 2011–20162013 through 2018 calendar years.

Definition of a business

On October 1, 2016, we adopted an ASU issued by the FASB in January 2017, which clarified the definition of a business. Refer to “Investments in Real Estate and Properties Classified as Held for Sale” above for additional information.


Employee and non-employee share-based payments


On January 1, 2017, we adoptedWe have implemented an ASU issued by the FASB in March 2016, which simplifies several aspects of employee share-based payment accounting, including the accounting for forfeitures. The ASU allows an entity to make anentity-wide accounting policy election either to continue to estimate the total number of awards that are expected to vest (the method used prior to January 1, 2017) or to account for forfeitures of share-based awards granted to employees and non-employees when they occur. As a result of this policy, we recognize expense on share-based awards with time-based vesting conditions without reductions for an estimate of forfeitures. This entity-wide accounting policy election only applies to service conditions; forcondition awards. For performance conditions, the entity continuescondition awards, we continue to assess the probability that such conditions will be achieved.

Lease accounting, revenue recognition, and financial instruments

In February 2016, the FASB issued an ASU that sets out new lease accounting standards for both lessees and lessors. In May 2014, the FASB issued an ASU that will require a new model for recognition of revenue arising from contracts with customers, as well as recognizing gains and losses from the transfer of nonfinancial assets in contracts with noncustomers. In January 2016, the FASB issued an ASU that amended the accounting for equity investments. These three ASUs will update the current accounting standards for all of our revenues with the exception of revenues subject to other accounting standards as noted in the table below. Our revenues and gains on sales of real estate for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, and the related effective date for adoption of new ASUs, consisted of the following (in thousands):

Lease accounting

In February 2016, the FASB issued an ASU that sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of leases for both parties to a lease agreement (i.e., lessees and lessors). The ASU is effective for us no later than January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The ASU requires us to identify lease and nonlease components of a lease agreement. This ASU will govern the recognition of revenue for lease components. Revenue related to nonlease components under our lease agreements will be subject to the new revenue recognition standard effective upon adoption of the new lease accounting standard. We expect to adopt the new lease accounting standard on January 1, 2019.

The lease ASU requires the use of the modified retrospective transition method and does not allow for a full retrospective approach. Under the modified retrospective method, an entity will apply the standard to all leases that exist at, or commence after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with a cumulative adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings for the effect of applying the standard at the date of initial application. In addition, an entity may elect a practical expedient package, which allows the following:

An entity need not reassess whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases;
An entity need not reassess the lease classification for any expired or existing leases; and
An entity need not reassess initial direct costs for any existing leases.

These three practical expedients are available as a single election that must be elected as a package and must be consistently applied to all existing leases at the date of adoption. The FASB has also tentatively noted in Board meeting minutes of May 2017 that lessors that adopt this package of practical expedients are not expected to reassess expired or existing leases at the date of adoption in order to bifurcate lease and nonlease components under the new lease ASU.

Lessor accounting

We recognized revenue from our lease agreements aggregating $793.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. This revenue consisted primarily of rental revenue and tenant recoveries aggregating $604.6 million and $188.9 million, respectively.

Under current accounting standards, we recognize rental revenue from our operating leases on a straight-line basis over the respective lease terms. We commence recognition of rental revenue at the date the property is ready for its intended use and the tenant takes possession of or controls the physical use of the property. We recognize rental revenue from direct financing leases over the lease term using the effective interest rate method.

Under the new lease ASU, each lease agreement will be evaluated to identify the lease components and nonlease components within each lease agreement. The total consideration in the lease agreement will be allocated to the lease and nonlease components based on their relative standalone selling prices. Lessors will continue to recognize the lease revenue component using an approach that is substantially equivalent to existing guidance for operating leases (straight-line basis) and direct financing leases (effective interest rate method).

Under current accounting standards, tenant recoveries related to payments of real estate taxes, insurance, utilities, repairs and maintenance, common area expenses, and other operating expenses, are considered lease components. We recognize these tenant recoveries as revenue when services are rendered in an amount equal to the related operating expenses incurred that are recoverable under the terms of the applicable lease.

We have not completed our analysis of this ASU but expect that our tenant recoveries will be separated into lease and nonlease components. Tenant recoveries that qualify as lease components, which relate to the right to use the leased asset (e.g., property taxes, insurance), will be accounted for under the new lease ASU. Tenant recoveries that qualify as nonlease components, which relate to payments for goods or services that are transferred separately from the right to use the underlying asset, including tenant recoveries related to payments for maintenance activities and common area expenses, will be accounted for under the new revenue recognition ASU upon adoption of the new lease ASU on January 1, 2019.



2.Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

Recent accounting pronouncements (continued)

Lease accounting (continued)

Tenant recoveries that are categorized as lease components will generally be variable consideration. Tenant recoveries that are categorized as nonlease components will be recognized at a point in time or over time based on the pattern of transfer of the underlying goods or services to our tenants.

Costs to execute leases

The new ASU will require that lessors capitalize, as initial direct costs, only those costs that are incurred due to the execution of a lease. Under this ASU, allocated payroll costs and other costs such as legal costs incurred as part of the leasing process prior to the execution of a lease will no longer qualify for classification as initial direct costs but will instead be expensed as incurred. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we capitalized $18.4 million of such costs. Under the new ASU, these costs will be expensed as incurred.

Lessee accounting

Under the new lease ASU, lessees are required to apply a dual approach by classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether the lease is effectively a financed purchase of the leased asset by the lessee. This classification will determine whether the lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. A lessee is also required to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term of greater than 12 months regardless of their classification. Leases with a term of 12 months or less will be accounted for similar to existing guidance for operating leases.

The ASU requires the recognition of a right-of-use asset and a related liability to account for our future obligations under our ground lease arrangements for which we are the lessee. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we recognized rent expense, included in rental operations expense, aggregating $9.4 million under these ground leases. As of September 30, 2017, the remaining contractual payments under our ground lease agreements for which we are the lessee aggregated $584.0 million. All of our existing ground leases for which we are the lessee are currently classified as operating leases, and therefore, we will have the option, under the practical expedients provided by the lease ASU, to continue to classify these leases as operating leases upon adoption of the ASU. We are still evaluating the impact to our consolidated financial statements from the initial recognition of each lease liability upon adoption and the pattern of recognition of ground lease expense subsequent to adoption.

Revenue recognition

In May 2014, the FASB issued an ASU on recognition of revenue arising from contracts with customers, as well as recognizing gains and losses from the transfer of nonfinancial assets in contracts with noncustomers, and subsequently, it issued additional guidance that further clarified the ASU. The revenue recognition ASU has implications for all revenues, excluding those that are under the specific scope of other accounting standards, such as revenue associated with leases (described above) and financial instruments (described below). Our revenues and gains for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, which will become subject to the revenue recognition ASU upon adoption on January 1, 2018, were as follows (in thousands):

 Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017
Parking and other revenue$32,323
Gain on sales of real estate$381

The core principle underlying the revenue recognition ASU is that an entity will recognize revenue to represent the transfer of goods and services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in such exchange. This will require entities to identify contractual performance obligations and determine whether revenue should be recognized at a point in time or over time, based on when control of goods and services transfers to a customer.

A customer is distinguished from a noncustomer by the nature of the goods or services that are transferred. Customers are provided with goods or services that are generated by a company’s ordinary output activities, whereas noncustomers are provided with nonfinancial assets that are outside of a company’s ordinary output activities. This distinction may not significantly change the pattern of income recognition, but will determine whether that income is classified as revenue (contracts with customers) or other gains/losses (contracts with noncustomers) in our consolidated income statement.

The ASU will require the use of a new five-step model to recognize revenue from customer contracts. The five-step model requires that we (i) identify the contract with the customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, including variable consideration to the extent that it is probable that a significant future reversal will not occur, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) we satisfy the performance obligation.

An entity will also be required to determine if it controls the goods or services prior to the transfer to the customer in order to determine if it shouldTo account for the arrangement as a principal or agent. Principal arrangements, whereforward equity sales agreements, we consider the entity controls the goods or services provided, will result in the recognitionaccounting guidance governing financial instruments and derivatives. As of the gross amountJune 30, 2019, none of consideration expected in the exchange. Agent arrangements, where the entity simply arranges but doesn’t control the goods or services being transferred to the customer, will result in the recognition of the net amount the entity is entitled to retain in the exchange.

The ASU is effective for us on January 1, 2018. Entities can use either a full retrospective or modified retrospective method to adopt the ASU. Under the full retrospective method, all periods presented will be restated upon adoption to conform to the new standard and a cumulative adjustment for effects on periods prior to 2016 will be recorded to retained earnings as of January 1, 2016. Under the modified retrospective approach, prior periods are not restated to conform to the new standard. Instead, a cumulative adjustment for effects of applying the new standard to periods prior to 2018 is recorded to retained earnings as of January 1, 2018. Additionally, incremental disclosures are required to present the 2018 revenues under the prior standard. Under the modified retrospective method, an entity may also elect to apply the standard to either (i) all contracts as of January 1, 2018, or (ii) only to contracts that are not completed as of January 1, 2018.

We continue to review the impact that the new standard will have on our consolidated financial statements and our disclosures. We continue to implement changes to our accounting policies, business processes, and internal controls to support the new accounting and disclosure requirements. We expect to complete our assessment and implementation by December 31, 2017.

Revenue within the scope of the new revenue recognition ASU

Parking

Parking and other revenue aggregated $32.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. These revenues consist primarily of short term rental revenues that are not considered lease revenue. These revenues will be accounted under the new revenue recognition ASU effective January 1, 2018. Under current accounting standards, we recognize parking when the amounts are fixed or determinable, collectability is reasonably assured, and services have been rendered. Under the new revenue recognition ASU, the recognition of such revenue will occur when the services are provided and the performance obligations are satisfied. These services are normally provided at a point in time, therefore revenue recognition under the new revenue recognition ASU is expectedforward equity sales agreements were deemed to be similarliabilities as they did not embody obligations to the recognition pattern under existing accounting standards.

Salesrepurchase our shares, nor did they embody obligations to issue a variable number of real estate

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we sold real estateshares for contractual sales prices aggregating $10.9 million, which resulted in an aggregate gain of $381 thousand. Our ordinary output activities consist of leasing space to our tenants in our operating properties, not the sale of real estate. Therefore, sales of real estate qualify as contracts with non-customers.

The amount and timing of recognition of gain or loss on those sales may differ significantly under the new standards. The current standards focus on whether the seller retains substantial risks or rewards of ownership as a result of its continuing involvement with the sold property.

Under the new standard, which includes guidance on recognition of gains and losses arising from the derecognition of nonfinancial assets in a transaction with noncustomers, the derecognition model is based on the transfer of control. If a real estate sale contract includes ongoing involvement by the seller with the property, the seller must evaluate each promised good or service under the contract to determine whether it represents a separate performance obligation, constitutes a guarantee, or prevents the transfer of control. If a good or service is considered a separate performance obligation, an allocated portion of the transaction price should be recognized as revenue as the entity transfers the related good or service to the buyer.

Under the current standards, a partial sale of real estate in which the seller retains a noncontrolling interest results in the recognition of a gain or loss related to the interest sold.

Under the new standards, a partial sale of real estate in which the seller retains a noncontrolling interest will result in recognition by the seller of a gain or loss as if 100% of the real estatemonetary value was sold. Conversely, under the new standards, a partial sale of real estate in which the seller retains a controlling interest will result in the seller’s continuing to reflect the asset at its current book value, recording a noncontrolling interest for the book value of the partial interest sold, and recognizing additional paid-in capital for the difference between the consideration received and the partial interest at book value, consistentpredominantly fixed, varied with the current accounting standards.

Tenant recoveries

As previously noted above in the lease accounting section, certain tenant recoveries may be subject to the new revenue recognition ASU upon our adoption of the lease ASU, no later than January 1, 2019.

Revenue within the scope of guidancesomething other than revenue recognition or lease accounting

Interest and investment income fall outside the scope of the new revenue recognition and lease accounting standards. Investment income is subject to a recently issued accounting pronouncement on financial instruments related to the accounting for equity investments.

Financial instruments


In January 2016, the FASB issued an ASU that amended the accounting for equity investments (except for debt securities and equity investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting or that result in consolidation) and the presentation and disclosure requirements for financial instruments. The core principle of the amendment involves the measurement of equity investments at fair value and the recognition of changes in fair value of those investments during each period in net income.

As of September 30, 2017, our consolidated balance sheet contained the following amounts related to our investments (in thousands):
 Cost Net Unrealized Gains Total
Available-for-sale equity securities$55,433
 $45,189
 $100,622
Investments accounted for under cost method:     
Investments in limited partnerships136,044
 N/A
 136,044
Investments in other privately held entities248,596
 N/A
 248,596
Total investments$440,073
 $45,189
 $485,262

For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, our consolidated statement of income and statement of comprehensive income contained the following amounts related to our investments (in thousands):
 Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017
Investment income recognized in net income$2,007
Unrealized gain recognized in other comprehensive income (component of stockholder’s equity)$23,414

The ASU is effective for us on January 1, 2018. The ASU requires the use of the modified retrospective transition method, under which cumulative unrealized gains and losses related to equity investments with readily determinable fair values will be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings on January 1, 2018, upon adoption of this ASU. The guidance related to equity investments without readily determinable fair values, including our investments in limited partnerships and other privately held entities, will be applied prospectively to all investments that exist as of the date of adoption. We expect the adoption of this new ASU to increase the volatility of our earnings due to the recognition of changes in fair value of our equity investmentsshares, or varied inversely in net income for reporting periods subsequentrelation to December 31, 2017.

The ASU introduces significant changesour shares. We then evaluated whether the agreements met the derivatives and hedging guidance scope exception to current accounting for equity investments, including elimination of (i) the classification of equity investments as trading or available-for-sale, and the related recognition of unrealized holding gains and losses on available-for-sale equity securities in other comprehensive income, (ii) the cost method of accounting for equity securities that do not have readily determinable fair values, and (iii) the consideration of impairments as other-than-temporary, and instead requires recognition of impairments under a single-step model. A readily determinable fair value exists on investments for which sales prices/quotes are available on securities exchanges, or are published and are the basis for current transactions.

Under the new ASU, equity investments in publicly traded securities are required to be measured and reported at fair value, with the changes in fair value recognized through earnings. The year-to-date change in unrealized holding gains on available-for-sale equity securities, aggregating $23.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, would have been recognized in net income under this new ASU.



2.Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

Recent accounting pronouncements (continued)

Financial instruments (continued)

Equity investments without readily determinable fair values, which are currently subject to the cost method of accounting, will be accounted for under two categories, as follows:

Equity investments that qualify for the practical expedient to be measured at net asset value (NAV) in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, such as our other privately held investments in limited partnerships, are required to be measured using the reported NAV per share or otherwise valued at fair value using other accepted valuation techniques. The aggregate NAV per share of our investments in limited partnerships exceeds our cost basis by approximately $71.8 million as of September 30, 2017. Under a proposed ASU issued recently by the FASB, the cumulative difference between NAVequity instruments and cost basis for these investments is expected to be recognized as a cumulative adjustment to our retained earnings on January 1, 2018. Subsequent changes in NAV per share will be recognized in earnings each reporting period. The year-to-date change in unrealized holding gains on other privately held investments in limited partnerships, aggregating approximately $16.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, would have been recognized in net income under this new ASU.
Equity investments that do not qualify for the NAV practical expedient, such as our private investments, will be measured at cost less impairments, adjusted for observable price changes that are known or can be reasonably known. An “observable price” is a price observed in an orderly transaction for an identical or similar investment of the same issuer. Investments will be evaluated on the basis of a qualitative assessment for indicators of impairment. If such indicators are present, we are required to estimate the investment’s fair value and recognize an impairment loss equal to the amount by which the investment’s carrying value exceeds its fair value.

The new ASU requires additional disclosures. Equity investments that have readily determinable fair values require disclosure of the unrealized gains and losses recognized through earnings during the period that relate to equity securities still held at the reporting date. Equity investments without readily determinable fair values require disclosure of (i) the carrying amount, (ii) the amount of impairments and downward adjustments, if any, both cumulative and annual, (iii) the amount of upward adjustments, if any, both cumulative and annual, and (iv) qualitative information to facilitate an understanding of the quantitative disclosures.

We continue to review the impactconcluded that the new standard will have on our consolidated financial statements and our disclosures. We also continue to implement changes to our accounting policies, business processes, and internal controls to support the new accounting and disclosure requirements. We expect to complete our assessment and implementation by December 31, 2017.

Joint venture distributions

In August 2016, the FASB issued an ASU that provides guidance on the classification of cash distributions received from equity method investments, including unconsolidated joint ventures, in the statement of cash flows. The ASU provides two approaches to determine the classification of cash distributions received from equity method investees: (i) the “cumulative earnings” approach, under which distributions up to the amount of cumulative equity in earnings recognized willagreements can be classified as cash flows from operating activities, and those in excess of that amount will be classified as cash inflows from investing activities, and (ii) the “nature of the distribution” approach, under which distributions will be classifiedequity contracts based on the naturefollowing assessment: (i) none of the underlying activity that generated cash distributions. An entity may elect eitheragreements’ exercise contingencies were based on observable markets or indices besides those related to the “cumulative earnings” or the “naturemarket for our own stock price and operations; and (ii) none of the distribution” approach. An entity that electssettlement provisions precluded the “nature of the distribution” approach but lacks the informationagreements from being indexed to apply it will apply the “cumulative earnings” approach as an accounting change on a retrospective basis. The ASU is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted, and will be applied retrospectively (exceptions apply). We will adopt this ASU on January 1, 2018, and expect to use the “nature of the distribution” approach. We currently present distributions from our equity method investees utilizing the “nature of the distribution” approach; therefore, the adoption of this ASU will have no impact on our consolidated financial statements. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, distributions received from our equity method investees totaled $38.8 million, consisting of approximately $249 thousand classified as a return on investment (cash flows from operating activities) and approximately $38.6 million classified as a return of investment (cash flows from investing activities).own stock.

Restricted cash

In November 2016, the FASB issued an ASU that will require companies to include restricted cash with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown in the statement of cash flows. The ASU will require disclosure of a reconciliation between the statement of financial position and the statement of cash flows when the statement of financial position includes more than one line item for cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and restricted cash equivalents. An entity with material restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents balances will be required to disclose the nature of the restrictions. The ASU is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted, and will be applied retrospectively to all periods presented. As of September 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016, we had $27.7 million and $16.3 million of restricted cash, respectively, on our consolidated balance sheets. Upon adoption of this ASU, restricted cash balances will be included with cash and cash equivalents balances as of the beginning and ending of each period presented in our consolidated statements of cash flows; separate line items reconciling changes in restricted cash balances to the changes in cash and cash equivalents will no longer be presented within the operating, investing, and financing sections of our consolidated statements of cash flows.

Allowance for credit losses

In June 2016, the FASB issued an ASU that changes the impairment model for most financial instruments by requiring companies to recognize an allowance for expected losses, rather than incurred losses as required currently by the other-than-temporary impairment model. The ASU will apply to most financial assets measured at amortized cost and certain other instruments, including trade and other receivables, loans, held-to-maturity debt securities, net investments in leases, and off-balance-sheet credit exposures (e.g., loan commitments). The ASU is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted, and will be applied as a cumulative adjustment to retained earnings as of the effective date. We are currently assessing the potential effect the adoption of this ASU will have on our consolidated financial statements.


Hedge accounting

In August 2017, the FASB issued an ASU that simplifies hedge accounting. The purpose of this updated ASU is to better align a company’s financial reporting for hedging activities with the economic objectives of those activities. For cash flow hedges that are highly effective, the new standard requires all changes (effective and ineffective components) in the fair value of the hedging instrument to be recorded in other comprehensive income and to be reclassified into earnings only when the hedged item impacts earnings.

Under existing standards, a quantitative assessment is made on an ongoing basis to determine whether a hedge is highly effective in offsetting changes in cash flows associated with the hedged item. Currently, hedge accounting requires hedge ineffectiveness to be recognized in earnings. Under the new standard, an entity will still be required to perform an initial quantitative test. However, the new standard allows an entity to elect to subsequently perform only a qualitative assessment unless facts and circumstances change.

The ASU is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. For cash flow hedges in existence at the date of adoption, an entity is required to apply a cumulative-effect adjustment for previously recognized ineffectiveness from retained earnings to accumulated other comprehensive income, as of the beginning of the fiscal year when an entity adopts the amendments in this ASU.


We utilize interest rate hedge agreements to hedgemanage a portion of our exposure to variable interest rates primarily associated with borrowings based on LIBOR. As a result, all of our interest rate hedge agreements are designated as cash flow hedges. DuringAt inception of a hedge agreement, we are required to perform an initial quantitative assessment to determine whether a hedge is highly effective in offsetting changes in cash flows associated with the threehedged item. Subsequently, we may perform only a qualitative assessment, unless facts and nine months ended Septembercircumstances change.

We determined that each our cash flow hedges were highly effective at inception and continue to be highly effective. Therefore, we record all changes (effective and ineffective components) in fair value of our hedges in accumulated other comprehensive income within total equity and reclassify them into earnings when the hedged item affects earnings.

In October 2018, the FASB issued an accounting standard that expands the list of U.S. benchmark interest rates permitted in the application of hedge accounting to include the overnight index swap rate based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”). The accounting standard became effective for us and was adopted on January 1, 2019. We have no hedges based on SOFR; therefore, the adoption of this accounting standard had no effect on our consolidated financial statements.



2.Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

Joint venture distributions

We use the “nature of the distribution” approach to determine the classification within our statement of cash flows of cash distributions received from equity method investments, including unconsolidated joint ventures. Under this approach, distributions are classified based on the nature of the underlying activity that generated the cash distributions. If we lack the information necessary to apply this approach in the future, we will be required to apply the “cumulative earnings” approach as an accounting change on a retrospective basis. Under the cumulative earnings approach, distributions up to the amount of cumulative equity in earnings recognized are classified as cash inflows from operating activities, and those in excess of that amount are classified as cash inflows from investing activities.

Restricted cash

We present cash and cash equivalents separately from restricted cash within our consolidated balance sheets. We include restricted cash with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning of period and end of period total amounts shown in the consolidated statements of cash flows. We provide a reconciliation between the balance sheet and statement of cash flows, as required when the balance includes more than one line item for cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash. We also provide a disclosure of the nature of the restrictions related to material restricted cash balances.

Recent accounting pronouncements

Allowance for credit losses

In June 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standard (further clarified with subsequently issued updates) that will require companies to estimate and recognize lifetime expected losses, rather than incurred losses, which will result in the earlier recognition of credit losses. The accounting standard will apply to most financial assets measured at amortized cost and certain other instruments, including trade and other receivables, loans, held-to-maturity debt securities, net investments in leases arising from sales-type and direct financing leases, and off-balance-sheet credit exposures (i.e., loan commitments). The accounting standard is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted, and will be applied as a cumulative adjustment to retained earnings as of the effective date. As a lessor, this standard will apply to our net investments in direct financing and sales-type leases and will not apply to the receivables arising from our operating leases. An assessment of the collectibility of operating lease payments and the recognition of an adjustment to lease income based on this assessment will continue to be governed by the lease accounting standard discussed in the “Lease Accounting” section earlier within this Note 2.

In addition to direct financing and sales-type leases, the accounting standard on credit losses will also apply to our receivables that result from revenue transactions within the scope of the revenue recognition standard discussed in the “Recognition of Revenue Arising From Contracts With Customers” section earlier within this Note 2. As of June 30, 2017,2019, we had one lease classified as a direct financing lease with a net investment balance aggregating $39.5 million, and Septemberno leases classified as sales-type leases, which will be subject to this new guidance. As of June 30, 2016, we did not2019, our receivables resulting from revenue transactions within the scope of revenue recognition standard aggregated $10.3 million. We have any hedge ineffectivenesshad no collectibility issues related to our interest rate hedge agreements. Therefore,direct financing lease and have determined that the collectibility of future payments for this lease is probable. Our receivables resulting from revenue transactions within the scope of the revenue recognition standard are short term in nature and are expected to be collected in full. Based on the aforementioned facts, we do not believeexpect the adoption of this ASU wouldto have impacteda material effect on our operating resultsconsolidated financial statements.

Recognition and measurement of financial instruments

In January 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standard (further clarified with subsequently issued updates) that updated the framework for companies to account for financial instruments. We adopted this accounting standard on January 1, 2018. Subsequently in April 2019, the FASB issued an accounting standard that amends the financial instruments standard by clarifying that all adjustments made under the measurement alternative elected for equity securities without readily determinable fair values represent nonrecurring fair value measurement adjustments and therefore require applicable fair value disclosures, including disclosures about the level of the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurements are categorized. The standard is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. Except for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.expanded fair value disclosures related to our investments in privately held entities that do not report NAV, we do not expect the adoption of this standard to impact our consolidated financial statements.

We evaluated each of the transactions detailed belowacquisition to determine whether the integrated set of assets and activities acquired met the definition of a business. Acquisitions that do not meet the definition of a business are accounted for as asset acquisitions. An integrated set of assets and activities does not qualify as a business if substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets is concentrated in either a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, or if the acquired assets do not include a substantive process.


We evaluatedBased upon our evaluation of each of the completed acquisitions andacquisition, we determined that substantially all of the fair value related to each acquisition is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, or is associated with a land parcel with no operations. Accordingly, each transaction did not meet the definition of a business and consequently was accounted for as an asset acquisition. In each of these transactions, we allocated the total consideration for each acquisition to the individual assets and liabilities acquired on a relative fair value basis.

Investments in consolidated real estate joint ventures

In June 2016, we completed a sale of a 45% partial interest in 10290 Campus Point Drive to an institutional investor, TIAA Global Asset Management and affiliates (“TIAA”). 10290 Campus Point Drive is a 305,006 RSF office/laboratory building in our University Town Center submarket of San Diego, 100% leased to Eli Lilly and Company. Gross proceeds received from our partner related to this real estate joint venture through September 30, 2017 were $92.4 million, including $8.1 million received during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, $15.7 million received during the three months ended December 31, 2016,entities that own, develop, and $68.6 million received during the nine months ended September 30, 2016. Remaining proceeds from our partner of $13.9 million are expected to be received primarily in the fourth quarter of 2017.

In December 2016, we completed a separate joint venture agreement with TIAA to sell a 45% partial interest in 10300 Campus Point Drive in our University Town Center submarket of San Diego, which is a 449,759 RSF building primarily leased to Celgene Corporation and The Regents of the University of California, for a sales price of $150.0 million. Gross proceeds received from our partner through September 30, 2017, were $137.3 million. Remaining proceeds of $12.7 million are expected to be received primarily in the fourth quarter of 2017.

We retained controlling interests in each of 10290 Campus Point Drive and 10300 Campus Point Drive following each sale above and, therefore, continue to consolidate both entities. As a result, we accounted for the proceeds from each transaction as equity financings. Each transaction did not qualify as a sale ofoperate real estate and did not result in purchase price adjustments to the carrying valueproperties. As of the net assets sold. Accordingly, the carrying amount of our partner’s share of assets and liabilities is reported at historical cost basis.

3.(1)Investments inIn addition to the consolidated real estate (continued)joint ventures listed, various partners hold insignificant noncontrolling interests in four other joint ventures in North America, and we hold an insignificant noncontrolling interest in one unconsolidated real estate joint venture in North America.

Under each of these real estate joint venture arrangements, we are the managing member and earn a fee for continuing to manage the day-to-day operations of each property.

For each of our joint ventures with TIAA, we evaluated the partially owned legal entity that owns the property under the variable interest model to determine whether each entity met any of the three characteristics of a VIE, which are as follows:

1)(2)The entity does not have sufficient equity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support.Includes only 10290 and 10300 Campus Point Drive and 4110 Campus Point Court in our University Town Center submarket.
Each joint venture has significant equity at risk to fund its activities as the ventures are primarily capitalized by contributions from the members and could obtain, if necessary, non-recourse commercial financing arrangements on customary terms.

2)(3)The entity is established with non-substantive voting rights.As of June 30, 2019, we had a 48.3% ownership interest in Menlo Gateway and expect our ownership to increase to 49% through future funding of construction costs in 2019.
The voting rights of each joint venture require both members to approve major decisions, which results in voting rights that are disproportionate to the members’ economic interest. However, the activities of each joint venture are conducted on behalf of both members, so the voting rights, while disproportionate, are substantive.

3)(4)The equity holders, asRepresents our ownership interest; our voting interest is limited to 50%.

TIAA lacks substantive kick-out rights as it may not remove us as
Our consolidation policy is fully described under the managing member without cause.
TIAA also lacks substantive participating rights as day-to-day control is vested in us as the managing member and the major decisions that require unanimous consent are primarily protective in nature.

Based on the analysis detailed in“Consolidation” section of Note 2 – “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to ourthese unaudited consolidated financial statements, TIAA, asstatements. Consolidation accounting is highly technical, but its framework is primarily based on the non-managing membercontrolling financial interests and benefits of eachthe joint ventures. We generally consolidate a joint venture lacks the characteristics ofthat is a controlling financial interest in each joint venture because it does not have substantive kick-out rights or substantive participating rights. Therefore, each joint venture meets the criteria to be considered a VIE and, accordingly, is evaluated for consolidation under the variable interest model.

After determining that these joint ventures are VIEs, we determinedlegal entity that we are the primary beneficiary of each real estate joint venture as, in our capacity as managing member,control (i.e., we have the power to make decisionsdirect the activities of the joint venture that most significantly influence operationsaffect its economic performance) through contractual rights, regardless of our ownership interest, and economic performance of the joint ventures. In addition, through our investment in each joint venture,where we determine that we have benefits through the rightallocation of earnings or losses and fees paid to receive benefits and participate in lossesus that cancould be significant to the VIEs. Based on this evaluation, we concluded that we are the primary beneficiary of each joint venture (the “VIE model”). We also generally consolidate joint ventures when we have a controlling financial interest through voting rights and therefore, we consolidate each entity.where our voting interest is greater than 50% (the “voting model”). Voting interest differs from ownership interest for some joint ventures. We account for joint ventures that do not meet the consolidation criteria under the equity method of accounting by recognizing our share of income and losses.

3.Investments in real estate (continued)


In determining whether to aggregate the balance sheet information of our consolidated VIEs, we considered the similarity of each VIE, including the primary purpose of these entities to own, manage, operate, and lease real estate properties owned by the VIEs, and the similar nature of our involvement in each VIE as a managing member. Due to the similarity of the characteristics, among these VIE’s, we present the balance sheet information of these entities on an aggregated basis.

For each of our consolidated VIEs, none of its assets have restrictions that limit their use to settle specific obligations of the VIE. There are no creditors or other partners of our consolidated VIEs that have recourse to our general credit. Our maximum exposure to all our consolidated VIEs is limited to our variable interests in each VIE.


Sale of real estate assets and impairment charges

North America

In January 2017, we completed the sale of a vacant property at 6146 Nancy Ridge Drive located in our Sorrento Mesa submarket of San Diego for a purchase price of $3.0 million and recognized a gain of $270 thousand.

In June 2017, we recognized an impairment charge of $203 thousand on a 20,580 RSF property located in a non-cluster market. We had previously recognized an impairment of $1.6 million in December 2016 when management committed to the sale of the property and evaluated this asset under the held for sale impairment model. We completed the sale of this asset in July 2017 for a gross sale price of $800 thousand with no gain or loss.

Asia

During the year ended December 31, 2016, we completed sales of real estate investments in Asia in multiple transactions. At the date of closing of each sale, the related cumulative unrealized foreign currency translation loss was reclassified to net income. We calculated a related gain or loss on disposal of each asset using the sales proceeds in comparison to the net book value on the date of sale, costs to sell, and any related cumulative unrealized foreign currency translation adjustments. Prior to completing the sales, upon initial classification as held for sale, we considered the net book value, cost to sell and cumulative unrealized foreign currency translation losses in determining the carrying amount for evaluating each real estate asset for impairment.

On March 31, 2016, we evaluated two separate potential transactions to sell land parcels in our India submarket aggregating 28 acres. We determined that these land parcels met the criteria for classification as held for sale as of March 31, 2016, including among others, the following: (i) management’s having the authority committed to sell the real estate, and (ii) the sale was probable within one year. Upon classification as held for sale, we recognized an impairment charge of $29.0 million to lower the carrying amount of the real estate to its estimated fair value less cost to sell of approximately $10.2 million. In determining the carrying amount for evaluating the real estate for impairment, we considered our net book value, cost to sell, and a $10.6 million unrealized cumulative foreign currency translation loss.

During the three months ended June 30, 2016, we sold one of these land parcels totaling five acres for a sales price of $7.5 million at no gain or loss. During the three months ended September 30, 2016, we sold the second of these land parcels totaling 23 acres for a sales price of $5.3 million at no gain or loss. In order to calculate the gain or loss on the sale, we considered our net book value, cost of the sale, and cumulative foreign currency translation loss of $6.9 million as of June 30, 2016, and $3.8 million as of September 30, 2016, which were each reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income to net income upon the disposition of each asset.

On April 22, 2016, we decided to monetize our remaining real estate investments located in Asia in order to invest capital into our highly leased value-creation pipeline. We determined that these investments met the criteria for classification as held for sale when we achieved the following, among other criteria: (i) committed to sell all of our real estate investments in Asia, (ii) obtained approval from our Board of Directors, and (iii) determined that the sale of each property/land parcel was probable within one year. During the three months ended June 30, 2016, upon classification as held for sale, we recognized an impairment charge of $154.1 million related to our remaining real estate investments located in Asia to lower the carrying costs of the real estate to its estimated fair value less cost to sell. In determining the carrying amount for evaluating the real estate for impairment, we considered our net book value, cost to sell, and a $40.2 million cumulative foreign currency translation loss, which was reclassified to net income upon the disposition of the assets. Impairment of real estate recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2016, of $156.1 million primarily relates to the impairment charge of $154.1 million as described above, as well as an impairment charge of $2.0 million related to properties in North America.



3.Investments in real estate (continued)

As of September 30, 2016, we had eight operating properties aggregating 1.2 million RSF and land parcels aggregating 168 acres remaining in Asia, which continued to meet the classification as held for sale. During the three months ended September 30, 2016, we updated our assumptions of fair value for the remaining real estate investments located in Asia, and as a result, we recognized an additional impairment charge of $7.3 million.

During the three months ended December 31, 2016, we completed the sale of our remaining real estate investments in India consisting of six rental properties aggregating approximately 566,355 RSF and four land parcels aggregating approximately 168 acres for an aggregate sales price of $53.4 million with no gain or loss. In order to calculate the gain or loss on the sale, we considered our net book value, cost of the sale, and cumulative foreign currency translation loss of $39.4 million, which was reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income to net income upon the disposition of each asset.

As a result of the completion of sales in India, we also liquidated legal entities through which we owned our real estate investments in India and reclassified the remaining cumulative foreign currency translation loss of $2.4 million related to the real estate investments in India into earnings during the three months ended March 31, 2017, upon completion of the liquidation.

As of September 30, 2017, our remaining real estate investments in Asia consist of two operating properties in China aggregating 634,328 RSF currently classified as held for sale. Cumulative unrealized foreign currency translation gains of approximately $1.1 million related to these real estate investments will be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income to net income upon completion of the sales of these two investments.

The fair value considered in our impairment of each investment was determined based on the following: (i) preliminary nonbinding letters of intent, (ii) significant other observable inputs, including the consideration of certain local government land acquisition programs, and (iii) discounted cash flow analyses.

We evaluated whether our real estate investments in Asia met the criteria for classification as discontinued operations, including, among others, (i) if the properties meet the held for sale criteria, and (ii) if the sale of these assets represents a strategic shift that has or will have a major effect on our operations and financial results. In our assessment, we considered, among other factors, that our total revenue from properties located in Asia was approximately 1.5% of our total consolidated revenues. At the time of evaluation, we also noted total assets related to our investment in Asia were approximately 2.5% of our total assets. Consequently, we concluded that the monetization of our real estate investments in Asia did not represent a strategic shift that will have a major effect in our operations and financial results and, therefore, did not meet the criteria for classification as discontinued operations.

Commitments to sell real estate

One of our tenants holds a fixed-price option to purchase from us the property that it currently leases. The purchase option is exercisable no later than December 29, 2017. The property subject to this purchase option is one of our older properties and has a net book value of $6.8 million as of September 30, 2017. The option is exercisable at a purchase price of $20.8 million, excluding any customary and ordinary closing costs. As of September 30, 2017, the purchase price option had not been exercised.

DuringOn January 1, 2019, we adopted a new lease accounting standard that sets out the nine months ended September 30, 2017,principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of leases for both parties to a lease agreement (i.e., lessees and lessors).

As a lessor, we are required to disclose, among other things, the following:

A description of the nature of leases, including terms for any variable payments, options to extend or terminate, and options to purchase the underlying asset;
Tabular presentation of undiscounted cash flows to be received over the next five years and thereafter separately for operating leases and direct financing leases;
The amount of lease income and its location on the statements of income;
Income classified separately for operating leases and direct financing leases; and
Our risk management strategy to mitigate declines in residual value of the leased assets.

As a cash distributionlessee, we are required to disclose, among other things, the following:
A description of $38.8 million from the joint venture, primarily fromnature of leases, including terms for any variable payments, options to extend or terminate, and options to purchase the condominium saleunderlying asset;
The amounts of lease liabilities and loan refinancing.

Refer to the “Lease Accounting” section of Note 2 – “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” for additional information.

Leases in which we are the lessor

As of June 30, 2019, we had 257 properties aggregating 23.6 million operating RSF located in key locations, including Greater Boston, San Francisco, New York City, San Diego, Seattle, Maryland, and Research Triangle. We focus on developing Class A properties in AAA innovation cluster locations, which we consider to be highly desirable for tenancy by life science and technology entities. Such locations are generally characterized by high barriers to entry for new landlords, high barriers to exit for tenants, and a limited supply of available space. As of June 30, 2019, all our leases in which we are the lessor were classified as operating leases with one exception of a direct financing lease. Our operating leases and direct financing lease are described below.



5.    Leases (continued)

Operating leases

As of June 30, 2019, our 257 properties were subject to operating lease agreements. Two of these properties, representing two land parcels, are subject to lease agreements that each contain an option for the lessee to purchase the underlying asset from us at fair market value during each of the 30-day periods commencing on the dates that are 15 years, 30 years, and 74.5 years after the rent commencement date of October 1, 2017. The remaining lease term related to each of the two land parcels is 73.4 years. Our leases generally contain options to extend lease terms at prevailing market rates at the time of expiration. Certain operating leases contain early termination options that require advance notification and payment of a penalty, which in most cases is substantial enough to be deemed economically disadvantageous by a tenant to exercise. Future lease payments to be received under the terms of our operating lease agreements, excluding expense reimbursements, in effect as of June 30, 2019, are outlined in the table below (in thousands):
Year Amount

Refer to Note 3 – “Investments in Real Estate” to these unaudited consolidated financial statements for additional information on our owned real estate assets, which are the underlying assets under our operating leases.

Direct financing lease

As of June 30, 2019, we had one direct financing lease agreement for a parking structure with a remaining lease term of 73.4 years. The lessee has an option to purchase the underlying asset at fair market value during each of the 30-day periods commencing on the dates that are 15 years, 30 years, and 74.5 years after the rent commencement date of October 1, 2017. The components of our net investment in our direct financing lease as of June 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018, are summarized in the table below (in thousands):

Our revenues that are subject to the revenue recognition accounting standard relate primarily to parking revenues, which consist of short-term rental revenues that are not considered lease revenue under the new lease accounting standard. Refer to the “Revenues” and “Recognition of revenue arising from contracts with customers” sections of Note 2 – “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to these unaudited consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Residual value risk management strategy

Our leases do not have guarantees of residual value on the underlying assets. We manage risk associated with the residual value of our leased assets by (i) evaluating each potential acquisition of real estate to determine whether this entityit meets our business objective to primarily invest in high-demand markets with limited supply of available space, (ii) directly managing our leased properties, conducting frequent property inspections, proactively addressing potential maintenance issues before they arise, and timely resolving any occurring issues, (iii) carefully selecting our tenants and monitoring their credit quality throughout their respective lease terms, and (iv) focusing on making continuous improvements to our sustainability efforts and achievement of our sustainability goals for ground-up development of new buildings, which are targeting Gold of Platinum LEED certification. Our environmentally focused design decisions, careful selection of construction materials, and continuous monitoring of our properties throughout their lives are expected to promote the durability of building infrastructure and enhance residual value of our properties.

Leases in which we are the lessee

We have operating lease agreements in which we are the lessee consisting of ground and office leases. Certain of these leases have options to extend or terminate the contract terms upon meeting certain criteria. There are no notable restrictions or covenants imposed by the leases, nor guarantees of residual value.

Under the new lease accounting standard, we are required to recognize a right-of-use asset and a related liability to account for our future obligations under our ground and office lease arrangements in which we are the lessee. Refer to the “Lessee Accounting” section of Note 2 – “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to these unaudited consolidated financial statements.

As of June 30, 2019, the present value of the following characteristicsremaining contractual payments, aggregating $653.0 million, under our operating lease agreements, including our extension options that we are reasonably certain to exercise, was $243.6 million. Our corresponding operating lease right-of-use assets, adjusted for initial direct leasing costs and other consideration exchanged with the landlord prior to the commencement of the lease, aggregated $237.0 million. As of June 30, 2019, the weighted-average remaining lease term of operating leases in which we are the lessee was approximately 45 years, and the weighted-average discount rate was 5.37%.



5.    Leases (continued)

Ground lease obligations as of June 30, 2019, included leases for 30 of our properties, which accounted for approximately 12% of our total number of properties. Excluding one ground lease that expires in 2036 related to one operating property with a VIE:net book value of $8.1 million as of June 30, 2019, our ground lease obligations have remaining lease terms ranging from approximately 34 years to 95 years, including extension options which we are reasonably certain to exercise.

2)The entity is established with non-substantive voting rights.
Our 27.5% ownership interest in 360 Longwood Avenue consists of an interest in a joint venture with a development partner. The joint venture with our development partner holds an interest in the property with an institutional investor. Our development partner was responsible for the day-to-day management of construction and development activities, and we are responsible for the day-to-day administrative operations of components of the property following development completion. At the property level, all major decisions (including the development plan, annual budget, leasing plan, and financing plan) require approval of all three investors. Although voting rights within the structure are disproportionate to the members’ economic interests, the activities of the ventures are conducted on behalf of all members, and therefore, the voting rights, while disproportionate, are substantive.

3)The equity holders, as a group, lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest, as evidenced by lack of substantive kick-out rights or substantive participating rights.
The non-managing members have significant participating rights, including in the day-to-day management of development activities and the participation in decisions related to the operations of the property.

Based on our evaluation above, our 360 Longwood Avenue joint venture does not meet the VIE criteria and does not qualify for evaluation under the variable interest model. Therefore, we evaluated this joint venture under the voting model. Under the voting model, we consolidate the entity if we determine that we, directly or indirectly, have greater than 50% of the voting shares and that noncontrolling equity holders do not have substantive participating rights. Our interest in the 360 Longwood Avenue joint venture is limited to 27.5%, and since we do not have other contractual rights that give us control of the entity, we account for this joint venture under the equity method of accounting.

Our investments in privately held entities consist of (i) investments that report NAV, such as our privately held investments in limited partnerships, which are primarilycarried at fair value using NAV as a practical expedient with changes in fair value classified in net income, and (ii) investments in privately held entities that do not report NAV, which are measured at cost, adjusted for observable price changes and impairments, with changes recognized in net income.

Investments in publicly traded companies are presented at fair value in our consolidated balance sheet, with changes in fair value recognized in net income.
Investments in privately held entities without readily determinable fair values previously accounted for under the cost method.

method are accounted for as follows:
Investments in available-for-saleprivately held entities that report NAV are presented at fair value using NAV as a practical expedient, with changes in fair value recognized in net income. We use NAV reported by limited partnerships without adjustment, unless we are aware of information indicating that the NAV reported by a limited partnership does not accurately reflect the fair value of the investment at our reporting date.
Investments in privately held entities that do not report NAV are carried at cost, adjusted for observable price changes and impairments, with changes recognized in net income. These investments continue to be evaluated on the basis of a qualitative assessment for indicators of impairment by utilizing the same monitoring criteria described above and monitoring the presence of the following impairment indicators: (i) a significant deterioration in the earnings performance, credit rating, asset quality, or business prospects of the investee; (ii) a significant adverse change in the regulatory, economic, or technological environment of the investee, (iii) a significant adverse change in the general market condition of either the geographical area or the industry in which the investee operates, (iv) significant concerns about the investee’s ability to continue as a going concern. If such indicators are present, we are required to estimate the investment’s fair value and immediately recognize an impairment loss, without consideration as to whether the impairment is other-than-temporary, in an amount equal to the investment’s carrying value in excess of its estimated fair value.
Investments in privately held entities continue to require accounting under the equity securities with gross unrealizedmethod, unless our interest in the entity is deemed to be so minor that we have virtually no influence over the entity’s operating and financial policies. Under the equity method of accounting, we initially recognize our investment at cost and adjust the carrying amount of the investment to recognize our share of the earnings or losses as of September 30, 2017, had been in a continuous unrealized loss position for less than 12 months. We have the ability and intentinvestee subsequent to hold these investments for a reasonable period of time sufficient for the recoverydate of our investment. We believehad no investments accounted for under the equity method as of June 30, 2019.

We classify unrealized and realized gains and losses on our equity investments within investment income in our consolidated statements of income.

Unrealized gains and losses represent (i) changes in fair value for investments in publicly traded companies, (ii) changes in NAV, as a practical expedient to estimate fair value, for investments in privately held entities that these unrealized losses are temporary. Accordingly, there are no other-than-temporary impairmentsreport NAV, and (iii) observable price changes on our investments in accumulatedprivately held entities that do not report NAV. An observable price is a price observed in an orderly transaction for an identical or similar investment of the same issuer. Observable price changes result from, among other comprehensive incomethings, equity transactions for the same issuer executed during the reporting period, including subsequent equity offerings or other reported equity transactions related to available-for-sale equity securities asthe same issuer. For these transactions to be considered observable price changes, we evaluate whether these transactions have similar rights and obligations, including voting rights, distribution preferences, conversion rights, and other factors, to the investments we hold.

Realized gains and losses represent the difference between proceeds received upon disposition of September 30, 2017,investments and December 31, 2016.their historical or adjusted cost. Impairments are realized losses, which result in an adjusted cost, and represent charges to reduce the carrying values of investments in privately held entities that do not report NAV to their estimated fair value.

We are committed to funding approximately $238.6 million for all investments, primarily consisting of $238.0 million related to investments in limited partnerships. Our funding commitments expire at various dates over the next 11 years, with a weighted-average expiration of 8.7 yearsas of June 30, 2019.

These investments are not redeemable by us, but we normally receive distributions from these investments through their term.

7.9.Fair value measurements


We provide fair value information about all financial instruments whether or not recognized in the balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate fair value. We measure and disclose the estimated fair value of financial assets and liabilities by utilizing a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions. This hierarchy consists of three broad levels, as follows: (i) quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1), (ii) significant other observable inputs (Level 2), and (iii) significant unobservable inputs.inputs (Level 3). Significant other observable inputs can include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, as well as inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.curves. Significant unobservable inputs are typically based on an entity’s own assumptions, since there is little, if any, related market activity. In instances in which the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. There were no transfers between the levels in the fair value hierarchy during the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017 and 2016.2019.


The following tables set forth the assets and liabilities that we measure at fair value on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy as of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2019, and December 31, 20162018 (in thousands):

Our investments in publicly traded companies have been recognized at fair value. Investments in privately held entities are excluded from the fair value hierarchy above as required by the fair value standards. Refer to Note 7 – “Investments” to these unaudited consolidated financial statements for further details.

Our interest rate hedge agreements have been recognized at fair value. Refer to Note 11 – “Interest Rate Hedge Agreements” to these unaudited consolidated financial statements for further details. The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, tenant receivables, other assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and tenant security deposits approximate fair value. Our available-for-sale equity securities and our interest rate hedge agreements have been recognized at fair value. Refer to Note 5 – “Investments” and Note 9 – “Interest Rate Hedge Agreements” to these unaudited consolidated financial statements for further details.

The fair values of our secured notes payable, unsecured senior notes payable, $1.65$2.2 billion unsecured senior line of credit, and unsecured senior bank term loansloan were estimated using widely accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow analyses using significant other observable inputs such as available market information on discount and borrowing rates with similar terms, maturities, and credit ratings. Because the valuations of our financial instruments are based on these types of estimates, the actual fair value of our financial instruments may differ materially if our estimates do not prove to be accurate. Additionally, the use of different market assumptions or estimation methods may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

3.95% Unsecured senior notes payable due in 2028
    
In March 2017, we completed a $425.0 million public offering of our unsecured senior notes payable due on January 15, 2028, at a stated interest rate of 3.95%. The unsecured senior notes payable were priced at 99.855% of the principal amount with a yield to maturity of 3.967%. The unsecured senior notes payable are unsecured obligations of the Company and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Alexandria Real Estate Equities, L.P., a 100% owned subsidiary of the Company. The unsecured senior notes payable rank equally in right of payment with all other unsecured senior indebtedness. However, the unsecured senior notes payable are subordinate to existing and future mortgages and other secured indebtedness (to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such indebtedness) and to all existing and future preferred equity and liabilities, whether secured or unsecured, of the Company’s subsidiaries, other than Alexandria Real Estate Equities, L.P. We used the net proceeds, after discounts and issuance costs, of $420.5 million to repay outstanding borrowings under our $1.65 billion unsecured senior line of credit.

Repayment of unsecured senior bank term loans
During the three months ended March 31, 2017, we completed a partial principal repayment of $200 million of our 2019 Unsecured Senior Bank Term Loan, reducing the total outstanding balance from $400 million to $200 million, and recognized a loss of $670 thousand related to the write-off of unamortized loan fees.

Amendment of unsecured senior line of credit and unsecured senior bank term loans

On July 29, 2016, we amended our unsecured senior line of credit and completed a partial principal repayment of $200 million of our 2019 Unsecured Senior Bank Term Loan reducing the total outstanding balance from $600 million to $400 million, and recognized an aggregate loss on early extinguishment of debt of $3.2 million related to the write-off of unamortized loan fees.



8.10.Secured and unsecured senior debt (continued)



4.85%, 3.80%, and 4.00% Unsecured senior notes payable
Secured construction loans

In March 2019, we completed an offering of $850.0 million of unsecured senior notes for net proceeds of $846.1 million. The unsecured senior notes consisted of $300.0 million of 4.85% unsecured senior notes payable on April 15, 2049 (“4.85% Unsecured Senior Notes”); $350.0 million of 3.80% unsecured senior notes payable on April 15, 2026 (“3.80% Unsecured Senior Notes”), which will be allocated to fund certain eligible green development and redevelopment projects and the repayment of a secured note payable related to 50/60 Binney Street, a recently completed Class A property, which was awarded LEED® Gold certification; and $200.0 million added to our outstanding 4.00% unsecured senior notes payable due on January 15, 2024, issued at a yield to maturity of 3.453%, which are part of the same series that was originally issued in 2018 and will also be used to fund recently completed and future eligible green projects. As of June 30, 2019, these notes had a weighted-average interest rate of 4.18% and a weighted-average maturity of 14.4 years.

3.375% and 4.00% Unsecured senior notes payable

In July 2019, we issued $1.25 billion of unsecured senior notes payable with a weighted-average interest rate of 3.72% and a weighted-average maturity of 19.5 years. The following table summarizesunsecured senior notes consisted of $750.0 million of 3.375% unsecured senior notes payable on August 15, 2031 (“3.375% Unsecured Senior Notes”) and $500.0 million of 4.00% unsecured senior notes payable on February 1, 2050 (“4.00% Unsecured Senior Notes Due 2050”).

The proceeds were primarily used to refinance an aggregate $950.0 million of unsecured senior notes payable comprising $400.0 million of 2.75% unsecured senior notes payable due 2020 and $550.0 million of 4.60% unsecured senior notes payable due 2022, pursuant to a cash tender offer completed on July 17, 2019, and a subsequent call for redemption. The redemption is expected to settle on August 16, 2019. Additionally, we partially repaid $175.0 million on our unsecured senior bank term loan with the remaining proceeds used to reduce the outstanding balance of our unsecured senior line of credit. The weighted-average interest rate and maturity of the refinanced unsecured senior notes payable and partially repaid unsecured bank term loan were 3.94% and 2.4 years, respectively. As a result of our refinancing and partial repayment, we expect to recognize a loss, primarily related to the early extinguishment of debt, of $43 million during the three months ending September 30, 2019.

Extension of unsecured senior bank term loan

In June 2019, we extended the maturity date of our unsecured senior bank term loan, with a principal balance of $350.0 million, to January 2, 2025 from January 28, 2024. We made a partial repayment of $175.0 million on this outstanding balance in July 2019.

Repayment of secured notes payable

In January 2019, we repaid early one secured note payable aggregating $106.7 million, which was originally due in 2020 and bore interest at 7.75%, and recognized a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $7.1 million, including the write-off of unamortized loan fees.

In March 2019, we repaid early the remaining $193.1 million balance of our secured construction loans asloan related to 50/60 Binney Street, which was due in 2020 and bore interest at LIBOR+1.5%, and recognized a loss on early extinguishment of September 30, 2017 (dollars in thousands):debt of $269 thousand.

9.11.Interest rate hedge agreements


We use interest rate derivatives to hedge the variable cash flows associated with certain of our existing LIBOR-based variable-rate debt, including our $1.65$2.2 billion unsecured senior line of credit and unsecured senior bank term loans, and secured notes payable,loan, and to manage our exposure to interest rate volatility. Our derivative instruments include

The fair value of each interest rate swapshedge agreement is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow analyses on the expected cash flows of each derivative. These analyses reflect the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and use observable market-based inputs, including interest rate caps.

Incurves and implied volatilities. The fair values of our interest rate hedge agreements are determined using the ineffective portionmarket-standard methodology of netting the change indiscounted future fixed-cash payments and the discounted expected variable-cash receipts. The variable-cash receipts are based on an expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate curves. The fair value is requiredcalculation also includes an amount for risk of non-performance of our counterparties using “significant unobservable inputs,” such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default, which we have determined to be recognized directly in earnings. Duringinsignificant to the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016,overall fair value of our interest rate hedge agreements were 100% effective; as a result, no hedge ineffectiveness was recognized in earnings. agreements.

Changes in fair value, including accrued interest and adjustments for non-performance risk, on the effective portion of our interest rate hedge agreements that are designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges are classified in accumulated other comprehensive income. Amounts classified in accumulated other comprehensive income are subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period during which the hedged transactions affect earnings. During the next 12 months, we expect to reclassify approximately $1.4$1.7 million infrom accumulated other comprehensive income to earnings as a decreasean increase of interest expense. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2019, and December 31, 2016,2018, the fair values of our interest rate swap and caphedge agreements aggregating an asset balance were classified in other assets, and the fair valuevalues of our interest rate swaphedge agreements aggregating a liability balance were classified in accounts payable, accrued expenses, and tenant security deposits, based upon their respective fair values, without any offsetting pursuant to master netting agreements. Refer to Note 79 – “Fair Value Measurements” to these unaudited consolidated financial statements for further details. Under our interest rate hedge agreements, we have no collateral posting requirements.


We have agreements with certain of our derivative counterparties that contain a provision wherein we could be declared in default on our derivative obligations if (i) if repayment of the underlying indebtedness is accelerated by the lender due to our default on the indebtedness or (ii) if we default on any of its indebtedness, including default where repayment of the indebtedness has not been accelerated by the lender. If we had breached any of these provisions as of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2019, we could have been required to settle our obligations under the agreements at their termination value of $352 thousand.$1.7 million.

Some of our properties may contain asbestos, which, under certain conditions, requires remediation. Although we believe that the asbestos is appropriately contained in accordance with environmental regulations, our practice is to remediate the asbestos upon the development or redevelopment of the affected property. We recognize a liability for the fair value of a conditional asset retirement obligation (including asbestos) when the fair value of the liability can be reasonably estimated. For certain properties we do not recognize an asset retirement obligation when there is an indeterminate settlement date for the obligation because the period in which we may remediate the obligation may not be estimated with any level of precision to provide for a meaningful estimate of the retirement obligation. These conditional asset retirement obligations are included in the table above.


11.13.Earnings per share


In March 2017,From time to time we enteredenter into agreements to sell an aggregate of 6.9 million shares of our common stock, which consist of an initial issuance of 2.1 million shares and the remaining 4.8 million shares subject to forward equity sales agreements, at a public offering price of $108.55 per share, less issuance costs and underwriters’ discount.which are discussed in Note 14 – “Stockholders’ Equity” to these unaudited consolidated financial statements for additional information. We issued the initial 2.1 million shares at closing in March 2017 for net proceeds, after underwriters’ discount and issuance costs, of $217.8 million and expect to settle the forward equity sales agreements on the remaining 4.8 million shares of common stock no later than March 2018, for net proceeds of $495.5 million, after underwriters’ discount and issuance costs, with further adjustments as provided for in the sales agreements.

To account for the forward equity sales agreements, we considered the accounting guidance governing financial instruments and derivatives and concluded that our forward equity sales agreements were not liabilities as they did not embody obligations to repurchase our shares nor did they embody obligations to issue a variable number of shares for which the monetary value was predominantly fixed, varying with something other than the fair value of the shares, or varying inversely in relation to our shares. We then evaluated whether the agreements met the derivatives and hedging guidance scope exception to be accounted for as equity instruments and concluded that the agreements can be classified as equity contracts based on the following assessment: (i) none of the agreements’ exercise contingencies were based on observable markets or indices besides those related to the market for our own stock price and operations; and (ii) none of the settlement provisions precluded the agreements from being indexed to our own stock.

We also considered the potential dilution resulting from the forward equity sales agreements on the EPS calculations. We useAt inception, the treasury method toagreements do not have an effect on the computation of basic EPS as no shares are delivered until settlement. The common shares issued upon the settlement of the forward equity sales agreements, weighted for the period these common shares were outstanding, are included in the denominator of basic EPS. To determine the dilution resulting from the forward equity sales agreements during the period of time prior to settlement. Thesettlement, we calculate the number of weighted-average shares outstanding – diluted used inusing the computation of EPS fortreasury stock method. For the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017, includes2019, the effect from the assumed issuance of 4.8 millionon our weighted-average shares pursuant to the settlement of– diluted from the forward equity sales agreements atentered into during the contractual price, lessthree months ended June 30, 2019, was 68 thousand and 34 thousand weighted-average incremental shares, respectively. For the assumed repurchase of common shares atthree and six months ended June 30, 2018, the average market price using the net proceeds of $495.5 million, adjusted as provided for in the forward equity sales agreements. The impact toeffect on our weighted-average shares – diluted forfrom the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017,forward equity sales agreements entered into in January 2018 was 698355 thousand and 430313 thousand respectively, weighted-average incremental shares.shares, respectively.



11.Earnings per share (continued)


For purposes of calculating diluted EPS, we did not assume conversion of our 7.00% Series D cumulative convertible preferred stock (“Series D Convertible Preferred Stock”) for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172019 and 2016,2018, since the result was antidilutive to EPS attributable to Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc.’s common stockholders from continuing operations during those periods.each period. Refer to “7.00% Series D Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock Repurchases” in Note 1214 – “Stockholders’ Equity” to these unaudited consolidated financial statements for further discussion of the partial repurchases ofadditional information about our Series D Convertible Preferred Stock.


We account for unvested restricted stock awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends as participating securities and include these securities in the computation of EPS using the two-class method. Our Series D Convertible Preferred Stock and forward equity sales agreements are not participating securities and are therefore are not included in the computation of EPS using the two-class method. Under the two-class method, we allocate net income after preferred stock dividends, preferred stock redemption charge, and(after amounts attributable to noncontrolling interests, dividends on preferred stock, and preferred stock redemption charge) to common stockstockholders and unvested restricted stock awards by using the weighted-average shares of each class outstanding for quarter-to-date and year-to-date periods independently, based on their respective participation rights to dividends declared (or accumulated) and undistributed earnings.

ATM common stock offering programCommon equity transactions

In October 2016,During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, we established an ATM common stock offering program that allowed us to sell up tocompleted issuances and entered into forward equity sales agreement for an aggregate of $600.08.7 million shares of common stock at a weighted-average price of $144.50 per share, for aggregate net proceeds of approximately $1.2 billion as follows:

Issued 602,484 shares of common stock, at a weighted-average price of $145.58 per share, for net proceeds of $86.1 million.
Entered into forward equity sales agreements to sell an aggregate of 8.1 million shares of common stock, at a weighted-average price of $144.42 per share, for aggregate proceeds (net of underwriters’ discounts) of approximately $1.1 billion, to be further adjusted as provided in the forward equity sales agreements, including:
(i) agreements to issue 4.4 million shares at a price of $145.00 per share expiring in June 2020.

Common stock, preferred stock, and excess stock authorizations


In May 2017, our stockholders approved an amendment to ourOur charter to increaseauthorizes the authorizedissuance of 200.0 million shares of common stock, from 100.0 million to 200.0 million shares, of which 94.3112.0 million shares were issued and outstanding as of SeptemberJune 30, 2017.2019. Our charter also authorizes the issuance of up to 100.0 million shares of preferred stock, of which 3.02.3 million shares were issued and outstanding as of SeptemberJune 30, 2017.2019. In addition, 200.0 million shares of “excess stock” (as defined in our charter) are authorized, none of which were issued and outstanding as of SeptemberJune 30, 2017.2019.


13.15.Noncontrolling interests


Noncontrolling interests represent the third-party interests in certain entities in which we have a controlling interest. These entities owned nine projects12 properties as of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2019, and are included in our consolidated financial statements. Noncontrolling interests are adjusted for additional contributions and distributions, the proportionate share of the net earnings or losses, and other comprehensive income or loss. Distributions, profits, and losses related to these entities are allocated in accordance with the respective operating agreements.

During the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2019 and 2018, we distributed $24.6 million and $18.4 million, respectively, to our consolidated joint ventures distributed $17.4 million to ourreal estate joint venture partners. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, our distributions to noncontrolling interests aggregated $62.6 million, which primarily consisted of the second installment of $54.0 million paid to acquire the previously outstanding 10% noncontrolling interest in our 1.2 million RSF campus at Alexandria Technology Square® in our Cambridge submarket of Greater Boston. The total purchase price was $108.3 million, and the first installment of $54.3 million was paid on April 1, 2015.

In 2016, we sold our partial interests in 10290 Campus Point Drive and 10300 Campus Point Drive. As described in Note 3 – “Investments in Real Estate” to these unaudited consolidated financial statements, since we retained controlling interests in both joint ventures following the sales and continued to consolidate these entities, we accounted for the proceeds received as equity financing transactions. These transactions did not qualify as sales of real estate and did not result in purchase accounting adjustments to the carrying value. Accordingly, the carrying amounts of our partner’s share of assets and liabilities are reported at historical cost basis.


Certain of our noncontrolling interests have the right to require us to redeem their ownership interests in the respective entities. We classify these ownership interests in the entities as redeemable noncontrolling interests outside of total equity in the accompanying unauditedour consolidated balance sheets. Redeemable noncontrolling interests are adjusted for additional contributions and distributions, the proportionate share of the net earnings or losses, and other comprehensive income or loss. If the amount of a redeemable noncontrolling interest is less than the maximum redemption value at the balance sheet date, such amount is adjusted to the maximum redemption value. Subsequent declines in the redemption value are recognized only to the extent that previous increases have been recognized.


14.16.Assets classified as held for sale


As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017, two operating2019, three properties aggregating 634,328458,842 RSF located in China, which represent our remaining real estate investments in Asia, were classified as held for sale.

The joint venture will include three operating properties aggregating 314,092 RSF, which are currently 83% occupied by multiple tenants.

Overview


We are a Maryland corporation formed in October 1994 that has elected to be taxed as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. We are an S&P 500® urban office REIT and the first and longest-tenured owner, operator, and developer uniquely focused on collaborative life science, technology, and technologyagtech campuses in AAA innovation cluster locations, with a total market capitalization of $16.1$22.2 billion and an asset base in North America of 28.634.3 million SF as of SeptemberJune 30, 2017.2019. The asset base in North America includes 20.623.6 million RSF of operating properties includingand 1.5 million RSF of development and redevelopment of new Class A properties currently undergoing construction. Additionally, the asset baseconstruction, with projected initial occupancy in North America includes 8.02019, 1.9 million SFRSF of Class A properties undergoing construction or pre-construction, with projected initial occupancy in 2020, 4.4 million RSF of Class A properties undergoing or nearing pre-construction, with projected initial occupancy in 2021 or 2022, and 2.9 million of future development projects, including 1.1 million SF of near-term projects undergoing marketing for lease and pre-construction activities and 3.3 million SF of intermediate-term development projects. Founded in 1994, we pioneered this niche and have since established a significant market presence in key locations, including Greater Boston, San Francisco, New York City, San Diego, Seattle, Maryland, and Research Triangle Park.Triangle. We have a longstanding and proven track record of developing Class A properties clustered in urban life science, technology, and technologyagtech campuses that provide our innovative tenants with highly dynamic and collaborative environments that enhance their ability to successfully recruit and retain world-class talent and inspire productivity, efficiency, creativity, and success. Alexandria also provides strategic capital to transformative life science, technology, and agtech companies through our venture capital arm. We believe these advantages result in higher occupancy levels, longer lease terms, higher rental income, higher returns, and greater long-term asset value.


As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017:2019:


Investment-grade or publicly traded large cap tenants represented 50%53% of our total annual rental revenue;
Approximately 97% of our leases (on an RSF basis) were triple net leases, which require tenants to pay substantially all real estate taxes, insurance, utilities, repairs and maintenance, common area expenses, and other operating expenses (including increases thereto) in addition to base rent;
Approximately 95% of our leases (on an RSF basis) contained effective annual rent escalations that were either fixed (generally ranging from approximately 3% to 3.5%) or indexed based on a consumer price index or other index; and
Approximately 94%96% of our leases (on an RSF basis) provided for the recapture of capital expenditures (such as HVAC systems maintenance and/or replacement, roof replacement, and parking lot resurfacing) that we believe would typically be borne by the landlord in traditional office leases.


Our primary business objective is to maximize stockholder value by providing our stockholders with the greatest possible total return and long-term asset value based on a multifaceted platform of internal and external growth. A key element of our strategy is our unique focus on Class A properties clustered in urban campuses. These key urban campus locations are characterized by high barriers to entry for new landlords, high barriers to exit for tenants, and a limited supply of available space. They generally represent highly desirable locations for tenancy by life science, technology, and technologyagtech entities because of their close proximity to concentrations of specialized skills, knowledge, institutions, and related businesses. Our strategy also includes drawing upon our deep and broad real estate, life science, and technology relationships in order to identify and attract new and leading tenants and to source additional value-creation real estate.

88 Bluxome Street is the first and only project to win full approval in Central SoMa

In July 2019, we, along with TMG Partners, won full project approval to develop a 1.07 million RSF mixed-use campus at 88 Bluxome Street in Central SoMa. Anchored by a 490,000 RSF lease with Pinterest, Inc., the future development, which is the first and only project in Central SoMa to receive full approval and 100% of its Prop M allocation from the San Francisco Planning Commission, is nearly 60% pre-leased. Construction is expected to commence in 2020, and initial delivery is expected in 2022.

Investments in real estate


A key component of our business model is our disciplined allocation of capital to the development and redevelopment of new Class A properties located in world-class collaborative life science and technology campuses in AAA urban innovation clusters. These projects are focused on providing high-quality, generic, and reusable spaces that meet the real estate requirements of, and are reusable by, a wide range of tenants. Upon completion, each value-creation project is expected to generate a significant increase in rental income, net operating income, and cash flows. Our development and redevelopment projects are generally in locations that are highly desirable to high-quality entities, which we believe results in higher occupancy levels, longer lease terms, higher rental income, higher returns, and greater long-term asset values. Our pre-construction activities are undertaken in order to get the property ready for its intended use and include suchentitlements, permitting, design, site work, and other activities as developing plans or obtaining permits. preceding commencement of construction of aboveground building improvements.

Development and redevelopment projects recently placed into service will drive contractual growth in cash rents aggregating $70 million, of which $60 million will commence through the third quarter of 2018 ($10 million in the fourth quarter of 2017, $23 million in first quarter of 2018, $14 million in the second quarter of 2018, and $13 million in the third quarter of 2018).


(1)Upon stabilizationRelates to total operating RSF in service as of the property.June 30, 2019.

(2)Improvement of our initial yields is due to 18% overall cost savings. Cost savings were driven primarily by: (i) the redesign of space for Bristol-Myers Squibb Company drove 61% of the cost savings, (ii) competitive bidding and project management drove 25% of the cost savings, and (iii) a slightly lower amount of office/laboratory space and higher office space drove 14% of the cost savings. Adjacent is our originally disclosed total project investment and unlevered yields:

We present a tabular comparison of items, whether gain or loss, that may facilitate a high-level understanding of our results and provide context for the disclosures included in our most recent annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, and our subsequent quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. We believe thissuch tabular presentation promotes a better understanding for investors of the corporate-level decisions made and activities performed that significantly impactaffect comparison of our operating results from period to period. We also believe this tabular presentation will supplement for investors an understanding of our disclosures and real estate operating results. Gains or losses on sales of real estate and impairments forof held for sale assets are related to corporate-level decisions to dispose of real estate. Gains or losses on early extinguishment of debt and preferred stock redemption charges are related to corporate-level financing decisions focused on our capital structure strategy. Significant realized and unrealized gains or losses foron non-real estate investments and impairments of real estate and non-real estate investments are not related to the operating performance of our real estate assets as they result from strategic, corporate-level non-real estate investment decisions and external market conditions. Impairments of non-real estate investments are not related to the operating performance of our real estate as they represent the write-down of a non-real estate investment when its fair value declines below its carrying value due to changes in general market or other conditions.conditions outside of our control.

Refer to “Leasing” within the “Operating Summary” section of this Item 2 for additional information on our leasing activity. The increase was partially offset by a decrease in rental revenue as a result of a decrease in Same Properties’ occupancy to 95.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2017, from 96.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2016.

This increase is primarily due to an increase from our Non-Same Properties described above. Same Properties’ tenant recoveries for the three months ended June 30, 2019, increased by $7.1$6.1 million, or 8.7%, primarily due to the increase in recoverable operating expenses for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2019, as discussed under “Rental Operating Expenses”Operations” below. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2019, 97% of our leases (on an RSF basis) were triple net leases, which require tenants to pay substantially all real estate taxes, insurance, utilities, repairs and maintenance, common area expenses, and other operating expenses (including increases thereto) in addition to base rent.

The remaining $4.2 million increase was mainly a result of the higher repairs and maintenance expenses, contract services, and payroll incurred during the three months ended June 30, 2018.

Rental revenues

Total rental revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, increased by $148.7 million, or 30.6%, to $635.2 million, compared to $486.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The increase was primarily due to an increase in rental revenues from our Non-Same Properties totaling $137.2 million related to 2,355,756 RSF of development and redevelopment projects placed into service subsequent to January 1, 2016, and 16 operating properties totaling 1,468,708 RSF acquired subsequent to January 1, 2016.

Rental revenues from our Same Properties for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, increased by $11.5 million, or 2.6%, to $457.2 million, compared to $445.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The increase was primarily due to significant rental rate increases on lease renewals and re-leasing of space since January 1, 2016. Refer to “Leasing” within the “Operating Summary” section of this Item 2 for additional information on our leasing activity. The increase was slightly offset by a decrease in rental revenue as a result of a decrease in Same Properties’ occupancy to 96.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, from 97.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. Refer to “Same Properties” in the section above within this Item 2 for additional information on the change in our Same Properties’ occupancy rates.


Tenant recoveries

Tenant recoveries for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, increased by $23.5 million, or 14.2%, to $188.9 million, compared to $165.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. This increase is relatively consistent with the increase in our rental operating expenses of $32.4 million, or 15.8%, as discussed under “Rental Operating Expenses” below. Same Properties’ tenant recoveries increased by $3.4 million, or 2.3%, primarily due to the increase in recoverable operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, as discussed below. As of September 30, 2017, 97% of our leases (on an RSF basis) were triple net leases, which require tenants to pay substantially all real estate taxes, insurance, utilities, common area expenses, and other operating expenses (including increases thereto) in addition to base rent.

Rental operating expenses

Approximately $27.1 million of the increase was due to an increase in rental operating expenses from our Non-Same Properties primarily related to 2,355,756 RSF of development and redevelopment projects placed into service subsequent to January 1, 2016, and 16 operating properties totaling 1,468,708 RSF acquired subsequent to January 1, 2016.

Same Properties’ rental operating expenses increased by $5.3 million, or 3.0%, to $182.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to $177.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, primarily due to higher utility expenses, higher snow removal services, and higher repair and maintenance expenses resulting from a comparably colder winter. The increase in Same Properties’ rental operating expenses was partially offset by property tax refunds during the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, increased by $9.7 million, or 20.8%, to $56.1 million, compared to $46.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. General and administrative expenses increased primarily due to the continued growth in the depth and breadth of our operations in multiple markets, including a 30.6% increase in total rental revenue to $635.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to $486.5 million for the same period in 2016, and including a 4.1 million RSF, or 16.7%, increase in our North America asset base subsequent to October 1, 2016.

The increase was also partially due to the increase in the weighted-average interest rate required for capitalization of interest to 3.96% effective during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, from 3.70% effective during the nine months ended September 30, 2016, as a result of the increase in rates applicable to borrowings outstanding during each respective period.

Depreciation and amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, increased by $90.9 million, or 41.7%, to $309.1 million, compared to $218.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The increase is primarily due to additional depreciation from 2,355,756 RSF of development and redevelopment projects placed into service subsequent to January 1, 2016, and 16 operating properties totaling 1,468,708 RSF acquired subsequent to January 1, 2016.

Additionally, as expected, we will commence renovations on 116,556 RSF at 3545 Cray Court in our Torrey Pines submarket upon expiration of the existing lease in the third quarter of 2019. In aggregate for these items, we expect a temporary decline in occupancy percentage in North America of approximately 1% from the second quarter to be at the top endthird quarter of 2019.

Consolidated and unconsolidated real estate joint ventures


We present components of balance sheet and operating results information for the noncontrolling interests’interest share of our consolidated real estate joint ventures and for our share of investments in unconsolidated real estate joint ventures to help investors estimate balance sheet and operating results information related to our partially owned entities. These amounts are estimated by computing, for each joint venture that we consolidate in our financial statements, the noncontrolling interest percentage of each financial item to arrive at the cumulative noncontrolling interest share of each component presented. In addition, for our real estate joint ventures that we do not control and do not consolidate, we apply our economic ownership percentage to the unconsolidated real estate joint ventures to arrive at our proportionate share of each component presented. Refer to Note 4 – “Consolidated and Unconsolidated Real Estate Joint Ventures” to our unaudited consolidated financial statements under Item 1 of this report for further discussion.

Net cash provided by operating activities for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2019, increased to $356.3$308.3 million, compared to $291.9$258.2 million for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2018. This increase was primarily attributable to (i) cash flows generated byfrom our highly leased development and redevelopment projects recently placed into service, (ii) income-producing acquisitions since January 1, 2016,2018, and (iii) increases in rental rates on lease renewals and re-leasing of space since January 1, 2016.2018.

Sources of capital


Net cash provided by operating activities after dividends


We expect to retain $115$170.0 million to $135$210.0 million of net cash flows from operating activities after payment of common stock and preferred stock dividends, and after deduction for distributions to noncontrolling interests. Changesinterests for the year ending December 31, 2019. For purposes of this calculation, changes in operating assets and liabilities are excluded from this calculation as they represent timing differences. Net cash provided by operating activities after dividends in 2017 is expected to be driven byFor the completion ofyear ending December 31, 2019, we expect our recently delivered projects, our highly pre-leased value-creation projects expected to be completed, along with recently delivered projects, certain future projects, recently acquired properties, and contributions from Same Properties which willand recently acquired properties, to contribute significant increases in rental revenue,income from rentals, net operating income, and cash flows. We anticipate significant contractual near-term growth in annual cash rents of $58 million related to the commencement of contractual rents on the projects recently placed into service that are near the end of their initial free rent period. Refer to the “Cash Flows” subsection of the “Liquidity” section within this Item 2 of this report for a discussion of cash flows provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2019.


Debt


In February 2019, S&P Global Ratings raised our corporate issuer credit rating to BBB+/Stable from BBB/Positive. The rating upgrade reflects our consistently strong operating performance and continued successful delivery of our value-creation pipeline.

Borrowings under the $1.65As of June 30, 2019, we had $514.0 million outstanding balance on our $2.2 billion unsecured senior line of credit and a $350 million outstanding principal balance on our unsecured senior bank term loan. Borrowings under the $2.2 billion unsecured senior line of credit and our unsecured senior bank term loan bear interest at LIBOR or the base rate specified in the amended $1.65 billion unsecured senior line of credit agreement plus, in either case, a specified margin (the “Applicable Margin”). The Applicable Margin for LIBOR borrowings under the $1.65 billion unsecured senior line of credit is based on our existing credit ratings as set by certain rating agencies.


We use our $1.65$2.2 billion unsecured senior line of credit to fund working capital, construction activities, and, from time to time, acquisition of properties. Borrowings under the $1.65$2.2 billion unsecured senior line of credit will bear interest at a “Eurocurrency Rate”Rate,” a “LIBOR Floating Rate,” or a “Base Rate” specified in the amended $1.65$2.2 billion unsecured senior line of credit agreement plus, in eitherany case, the Applicable Margin. The Eurocurrency Rate specified in the amended $1.65$2.2 billion unsecured senior line of credit agreement is, as applicable, the rate per annum equal to either (i) the LIBOR or a successor rate thereto as approvedagreed to by the administrative agent and the Company for loans denominated in a LIBOR quoted currency (i.e., U.S. dollars, euro, sterling, or yen), (ii) the average annual yield rates applicable to Canadian dollar bankers’ acceptances for loans denominated in Canadian dollars, (iii) the Bank Bill Swap Reference Bid rate for loans denominated in Australian dollars, or (iv) the rate designated with respect to the applicable alternative currency for loans denominated in a non-LIBOR quoted currency (other than Canadian or Australian dollars). The LIBOR Floating Rate means, for any day, one month LIBOR, or a successor rate thereto as agreed to by the administrative agent and the Company for loans denominated in U.S. dollars. The Base Rate means, for any day, a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the highest of (i) the federal funds rate plus 1/2 of 1.00%, (ii) the rate of interest in effect for such day as publicly announced from time to time by Bank of America as its “prime rate,” and (iii) the Eurocurrency Rate plus 1.00%. Our $1.65$2.2 billion unsecured senior line of credit contains a feature that allows lenders to competitively bid on the interest rate for borrowings under the facility. This may result in an interest rate that is below the stated rate. In addition to the cost of borrowing, the facility$2.2 billion unsecured senior line of credit is subject to an annual facility fee of 0.20%0.15% based on the aggregate commitments outstanding.


We expect to fund a significant portion of our capital needs in 20172019 from the issuance of unsecured senior notes payable, and from borrowings available under existing secured construction loans, and our $1.65$2.2 billion unsecured senior line of credit.

In March 2017,2019, we completed an offering of $425.0$850.0 million of unsecured senior notes for net proceeds of $846.1 million. The unsecured senior notes consisted of $300.0 million of 4.85% Unsecured Senior Notes; $350.0 million of 3.80% Unsecured Senior Notes, the proceeds from which were allocated to fund recently completed and future eligible green projects and the repayment of a secured note payable related to 50/60 Binney Street, a recently completed Class A property, which was awarded LEED® Gold certification; and $200.0 million added to our outstanding 4.00% unsecured senior notes due on January 15, 2024, issued at a yield to maturity of 3.453%, which are part of the same series that was originally issued in 2028, at an2018 and will also be used to fund recently completed and future eligible green projects. As of June 30, 2019, these notes had a weighted-average interest rate of 3.95%. Net4.18% and a weighted-average maturity of 14.4 years.


In June 2019, we extended the maturity date of our unsecured senior bank term loan to January 2, 2025 from January 28, 2024, and in July 2019 we made a partial repayment of $175.0 million on its $350.0 million principal balance outstanding as of June 30, 2019.

In July 2019, we issued $1.25 billion of unsecured senior notes payable with a weighted-average interest rate of 3.72% and a weighted-average maturity of 19.5 years. The unsecured senior notes consisted of $750.0 million of 3.375% Unsecured Senior Notes and $500.0 million of 4.00% Unsecured Senior Notes. The proceeds were primarily used to refinance an aggregate $950.0 million of $420.5unsecured senior notes payable comprising $400.0 million wereof 2.75% unsecured senior notes payable due 2020 and $550.0 million of 4.60% unsecured senior notes payable due 2022, pursuant to a cash tender offer and a subsequent call for redemption. In July 2019, we tendered $318.6 million, or 79.64% of our outstanding 2.75% unsecured senior notes payable and $384.9 million, including $135,000 tendered via guaranteed deliveries, or 69.98%, of our outstanding 4.60% unsecured senior notes payable. The call for redemption of the remaining 2.75% and 4.60% unsecured senior notes payable is expected to settle on August 16, 2019. Additionally, we made a partial repayment of $175.0 million on the outstanding balance of our unsecured senior bank term loan, and used initiallythe remaining proceeds to reduce the outstanding borrowings onbalance of our $1.65 billion unsecured senior line of credit. Refer to “3.95% Unsecured Senior Notes Payable Due in 2028” in Note 8 – “SecuredThe weighted-average interest rate and Unsecured Senior Debt” to our unaudited consolidated financial statements under Item 1maturity of this report for additional information regarding ourthe refinanced unsecured senior notes payable.payable and partially repaid unsecured bank term loan were 3.94% and 2.4 years, respectively. As a result of our refinancing and partial repayment, we expect to recognize a loss, primarily related to the early extinguishment of debt, of $43 million during the three months ending September 30, 2019.

During the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2019, we completed a partial repayment of $200repaid early one secured note payable aggregating $106.7 million, of our 2019 Unsecured Senior Bank Term Loan, reducing the total outstanding balance from $400 million to $200 million,which was originally due in 2020 and bore interest at 7.75%, and recognized a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $670 thousand related to$7.1 million, including the write-off of unamortized loan fees. Additionally, we repaid early the remaining $193.1 million balance of our secured construction loan related to 50/60 Binney Street and recognized a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $269 thousand.



Management of LIBOR transition

On July 27, 2017, the Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) announced that it would phase out LIBOR as a benchmark by the end of 2021. In June 2017, the ARRC selected the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), a new index calculated by reference to short-term repurchase agreements backed by Treasury securities, as its preferred replacement for U.S. dollar LIBOR. Since 2012, we have been closely monitoring developments in the LIBOR transition and, subsequently, in the SOFR markets, and have implemented numerous proactive measures to minimize the potential impact to the Company, specifically:

We have been actively reducing borrowings outstanding on our LIBOR-based unsecured senior line of credit, unsecured senior bank term loans, and construction loans through repayments: from January 2017 to July 2019, we retired approximately $1.2 billion of such debt.
As of June 30, 2019, our outstanding debt included only two LIBOR-based loans: our $2.2 billion unsecured senior line of credit with an outstanding balance of $514.0 million and our unsecured senior bank term loan with an outstanding balance of $350.0 million. The aggregate outstanding balance of the aforementioned LIBOR-based loans represented less than 15% of our total debt balance outstanding as of June 30, 2019.
In July 2019, we completed a partial repayment of $175.0 million of our unsecured senior bank term loan balance and repaid all outstanding borrowings under our unsecured senior line of credit, further reducing our exposure to LIBOR. In addition, we will seek opportunities to further retire the remaining balance of the unsecured senior bank term loan prior to the end of 2021.
All of our interest rate swap agreements mature prior to LIBOR cessation at the end of 2021.
Our unsecured senior line of credit and unsecured senior bank term loan contain fallback language generally consistent with the ARRC’s Amendment Approach, which provides a streamlined amendment approach for negotiating a benchmark replacement and introduces clarity with respect to the fallback trigger events and an adjustment to be applied to the successor rate.
We continue to monitor developments by the ARRC and other governing bodies involved in LIBOR transition.

Refer to “Item 1A. Risk Factors” within this quarterly report on Form 10-Q for additional information about LIBOR replacement.

Real estate dispositions and common equity


We expect to continue the disciplined execution of select sales of non-strategic land and non-core/“core-like” operating assets. The sale of non-strategic land and non-core/“core-like” operating assets providesFuture sales will provide an important source of capital to fund a portion of our highly leased value-creation development and redevelopment projects. We may also consider additional sales of partial interests in core Class A properties and/or development projects. For 2017,2019, we expect real estate dispositions and issuances of common equity ranging from $1.1$2.0 billion to $1.4 billion. Refer to “Forward Equity Sales Agreements” below within$2.2 billion, which includes the sale of a 60% interest in 75/125 Binney Street, a Class A property located in our Cambridge submarket for a sales price of $438.0 million. We completed this Item 2 for additional information related to our forward equity sales agreements executed inpartial interest sale during the three months ended March 2017.31, 2019. The amount of asset sales necessary to meet our forecasted sources of capital will vary depending upon the amount of EBITDA associated with the assets sold. In addition, the amount of common equity issued will be subject to market conditions.


For additional information, refer to “Sale of Real Estate Assets and Impairment Charges” in Note 3 – “Investments in Real Estate” and Note 4 – “Investments in Unconsolidated Real Estate Joint Ventures” to our unaudited consolidated financial statements under Item 1 of this report and “Real Estate Asset Sales” undersubsection of the “Investments in Real Estate” section within this Item 2.

Uses of capital


Summary of capital expenditures


OurOne of our primary useuses of capital relates to the development, redevelopment, pre-construction, and construction of properties. We currently have projects in our visible growth pipeline aggregating 1.53.4 million RSF of new Class A office/laboratory and tech office space undergoing construction and pre-construction, and intermediate-term and future value-creation projects supporting an aggregate of 8.07.3 million SF of ground-up development in North America. We incur capitalized construction costs related to development, redevelopment, pre-construction, and other construction activities. We also incur additional capitalized project costs, including interest, property taxes, insurance, and other costs directly related and essential to the development, redevelopment, pre-construction, or construction of a project, during periods when activities necessary to prepare an asset for its intended use are in progress. Refer to “Development of Newthe “New Class A Properties: 2017 Deliveries,” “DevelopmentDevelopment and Redevelopment of New Class A Properties: 2018Projected 2019-2020 Deliveries and 2019 Deliveries”,Pre-Construction Projects” and “Summary of Capital Expenditures,”Expenditures” subsections of the “Investments in Real Estate” section within this Item 2 for more information on our capital expenditures.


We capitalize interest cost as a cost of the project only during the period for which activities necessary to prepare an asset for its intended use are ongoing, provided that expenditures for the asset have been made and interest cost has been incurred. Capitalized interest for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172019 and 2016,2018, of $45.3$40.2 million and $40.8$28.9 million, respectively, is classified in investments in real estate. Indirect project costs, including construction administration, legal fees, and office costs that clearly relate to projects under development or construction, are capitalized as incurred during the period an asset is undergoing activities to prepare it for its intended use. We capitalized payroll and other indirect project costs related to development, redevelopment, pre-construction, and construction projects, which aggregated $18.3$20.7 million and $10.5$13.5 million for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172019 and 2016,2018, respectively.The increase in capitalized payroll and other indirect project costs for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2019, compared to the same period in 2016,2018 was primarily due to 10 newan increase in our value-creation pipeline projects undergoing construction and pre-construction activities aggregating eight projects with approximately 3.31.2 million developable SF that increased pre-construction activitiesRSF in 2017.2019 over 2018. Pre-construction activities include entitlements, permitting, design, site work, and other activities preceding commencement of construction of aboveground building improvements. The advancement of pre-construction efforts is focused on reducing the time required to deliver projects to prospective tenants. These critical activities add significant value for future ground-up development and are required for the vertical construction of buildings. Additionally, shouldShould we cease activities necessary to prepare an asset for its intended use, the interest, taxes, insurance, and certain other direct project costs related to this asset would be expensed as incurred. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.


Fluctuations in our development, redevelopment, and construction activities could result in significant changes to total expenses and net income. For example, had we experienced a 10% reduction in development, redevelopment, and construction activities without a corresponding decrease in indirect project costs, including interest and payroll, total expenses would have increased by approximately $6.4$6.1 million for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017.2019.


We alsouse third-party brokers to assist in our leasing activity, who are paid on a contingent basis upon successful leasing. We are required to capitalize and defer initial direct costs to originate leases with independent third parties related to evaluating a prospective lessee’s financial condition, negotiating lease terms, preparing the lease agreement, and closing the lease transaction. Costs that we capitalized and deferred relate to successful leasing transactions, which result directly from and are essential to the lease transaction, and would not have been incurred had that lease transaction not occurred. The initial direct costsbeen successfully executed. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, we capitalized and deferred also include the portion of our employees’ total compensation and payroll-related benefits directly related to time spent performing activities previously described and related to the respective lease that would not have been performed but for that lease. Total initial direct leasing costs capitalized during the nine months ended September 30, 2017of $29.9 million. Effective January 1, 2019, costs that we incur to negotiate or arrange a lease regardless of its outcome, such as fixed employee compensation, tax, or legal advice to negotiate lease terms, and 2016, were $44.4 million and $23.9 million, respectively, of which $10.3 million and $9.4 million, respectively, represented capitalized and deferred payrollother costs directly related and essential to our leasing activities during each respective period. The increase in direct leasing costs capitalized during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to nine months ended September 30, 2016, was due to the increase in leasing activity in 2017. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we completed 3.2 million RSF of new, renewed, and re-leased space with a weighted-average lease term of 7.5 years compared to 1.9 million RSF of leasing activity with a weighted-average lease term of 5.7 years during the nine months ended September 30, 2016.are expensed as incurred.

Interest rate hedge agreements


Our derivative instruments consist of interest rate hedge agreements. We utilize interest rate derivatives to hedge a portion of our exposure to volatility in variable interest rates primarily associated with our $1.65$2.2 billion unsecured senior line of credit and unsecured senior bank term loans, and variable-rate secured construction loans. Our derivative instruments include interest rate swaps and interest rate caps.loan.


Our interest rate swaphedge agreements involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for our payment of fixed-rate amounts to the counterparty over the life of the agreement without the exchange of the underlying notional amount. Interest received under all of our interest rate swaphedge agreements is based on one-month LIBOR. The net difference between the interest paid and the interest received is reflected as an adjustment to interest expense in our consolidated statements of income.


We have entered into master derivative agreements with our counterparties. These master derivative agreements (all of which are adapted from the standard International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. form) define certain terms between us and each of our respective counterparties to address and minimize certain risks associated with our interest rate hedge agreements. In order to limit our risk of non-performance by an individual counterparty under our interest rate hedge agreements, these agreements are spread among various counterparties. The largest aggregate notional amount in effect at any single point in time with an individual counterparty in our interest rate hedge agreements existing as of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2019, was $250$100.0 million. If one or more of our counterparties fail to perform under our interest rate hedge agreements, we may incur higher costs associated with our variable-rate LIBOR-based debt than the interest costs we originally anticipated. We have not posted any collateral related to our interest rate hedge agreements.



Ground lease obligations


Ground lease obligations as of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2019, included leases for 2730 of our properties, which accounted for approximately 13%12% of our total number of properties, and one land development parcel.properties. Excluding one ground lease that expires in 2036 related to one operating property that expires in 2036 with a net book value of $9.4$8.1 million as of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2019, our ground lease obligations have remaining lease terms ranging from approximately 3634 to 9795 years, including available extension options.options which we are reasonably certain to exercise.


As of June 30, 2019, the remaining contractual payments under ground and office lease agreements in which we are the lessee aggregated $644.7 million and $8.4 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2019, all of our ground and office leases, in which we are the lessee, were classified as operating leases. Under the new lease accounting standard effective on January 1, 2019, described in detail under the “Lease Accounting” section of Note 2 – “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to our unaudited consolidated financial statements under Item 1 of this report, we are required to recognize a right-of-use asset and a related liability to account for our future obligations under operating lease arrangements in which we are the lessee. The operating lease liability is measured based on the present value of the remaining lease payments, including payments during the term under our extension options that we are reasonably certain to exercise. The right-of-use asset is equal to the corresponding operating lease liability, adjusted for the initial direct leasing cost and any other consideration exchanged with the landlord prior to the commencement of the lease, as well as adjustments to reflect favorable or unfavorable terms of an acquired lease when compared with market terms at the time of acquisition. As of June 30, 2019, the present value of the remaining contractual payments, aggregating $653.0 million, under our operating lease agreements, including our extension options that we are reasonably certain to exercise, was $243.6 million, which is classified in accounts payable, accrued expenses, and tenant security deposits in our consolidated balance sheet. As of June 30, 2019, the weighted-average remaining lease term of operating leases in which we are the lessee was approximately 45 years, and the weighted-average discount rate was 5.37%. Our corresponding operating lease right-of-use assets, adjusted for initial direct leasing costs and other consideration exchanged with the landlord prior to the commencement of the lease, aggregated $237.0 million. We classify the right-of-use asset in other assets in our consolidated balance sheets.

Commitments


As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2019, remaining aggregate costs under contract for the construction of properties undergoing development, redevelopment, and improvements under the terms of leases approximated $571.6$985.9 million. We expect payments for these obligations to occur over one to three years, subject to capital planning adjustments from time to time. We may have the ability to cease the construction of certain properties, which would result in the reduction of our commitments. We are also committed to funding approximately $173.6 million for certain non-real estate investments over the next several years.

We executed an agreement to purchase a 10% interest in a joint venture with Uber and the Golden State Warriors. The Golden State Warriors organization owns two land parcels at 1655 and 1715 Third Street in our Mission Bay/SoMa submarket of San Francisco and is expected to contribute the land to this joint venture. Our initial cash contribution is expected to be in a range from $35 million to $40 million and will be funded at closing of the joint venture in 2018. The joint venture will acquire the land parcels after completion of below-grade improvements to the building foundation and parking garage and will complete vertical construction of two buildings aggregating 580,000 RSF, which will be leased to Uber.

We have existing office space aggregating 46,356 RSF at 161 First Street/50 Rogers Street in our Alexandria Center® at Kendall Square (“ACKS”) campus that we are required to partially convert to multifamily residential space, pursuant to our entitlements for our ACKS campus. Pursuant to these requirements, we expect to begin construction of the conversion to multifamily residential in the first half of 2018.

In addition, we have letters of credit and performance obligations aggregating $39.5$9.2 million primarily related to ourconstruction projects.

Exposure to environmental liabilities


In connection with the acquisition of all of our properties, we have obtained Phase I environmental assessments to ascertain the existence of any environmental liabilities or other issues.

Changes in our accumulated other comprehensive income balance relate toinclude the change in fair value of our interest rate hedge agreements. We reclassify amounts from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as we recognize interest expense related to the hedged variable-rate debt instrument.


Foreign currency translation


Changes in our accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) balance relate toinclude the changes in the foreign exchange rates for our real estate investments in Canada and Asia. Additionally, we reclassify unrealized foreign currency translation gains and losses into net income as we dispose of these holdings.




Critical accounting policies


Refer to our annual report on Form 10‑K for the year ended December 31, 2016,2018, for a discussion of our critical accounting policies which includerelated to investments in real estate, and properties classified as held for sale, impairment of long-lived assets, capitalization of costs, accounting forequity investments, and interest rate hedge agreements,agreements. On January 1, 2019, we adopted a new lease accounting guidance that resulted in changes to the accounting policies related to the recognition of rental revenuerevenues and tenant recoveries, and to the monitoring of tenant credit quality, during the six months ended June 30, 2019. Refer to the “Lease Accounting” section of Note 2 – “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to our unaudited consolidated financial statements under Item 1 of this report for a discussion of our critical accounting policies related to rental revenues, tenant recoveries, and monitoring of tenant credit quality. There were no significant changes to these policies during the nine months ended September 30, 2017.




Non-GAAP measures and definitions


This section contains additional information of certain non-GAAP financial measures and the reasons why we use these supplemental measures of performance and believe they provide useful information to investors, as well as the definitions of other terms used in this report.


Funds from operations and funds from operations, as adjusted, attributable to Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc.’s common stockholders


GAAP-basis accounting for real estate assets utilizes historical cost accounting and assumes that real estate values diminish over time. In an effort to overcome the difference between real estate values and historical cost accounting for real estate assets, the NAREITNareit Board of Governors established funds from operations as an improved measurement tool. Since its introduction, funds from operations has become a widely used non-GAAP financial measure among equity REITs. We believe that funds from operations is helpful to investors as an additional measure of the performance of an equity REIT. Moreover, we believe that funds from operations, as adjusted, allows investors to compare our performance to the performance of other real estate companies on a consistent basis, without having to account for differences recognized because of real estate investment and disposition decisions, financing decisions, capital structures, andstructure, capital market transactions. We compute fundstransactions, and variances resulting from operations in accordance withthe volatility of market conditions outside of our control. On January 1, 2019, we adopted standards established by the NAREITNareit Board of Governors in its April 2002November 2018 White Paper and related implementation guidance (the “NAREIT“Nareit White Paper”). on a prospective basis. The NAREITNareit White Paper defines funds from operations as net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (losses) fromor losses on sales of depreciable real estate, and land parcels and impairments of depreciable real estate, (excluding land parcels), plus real estate-related depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for our share of consolidated and unconsolidated partnerships and real estate joint ventures. Impairments represent the write-down of assets when fair value over the recoverability period is less than the carrying value due to changes in general market conditions and do not necessarily reflect the operating performance of the properties during the corresponding period.


We compute funds from operations, as adjusted, as funds from operations calculated in accordance with the NAREITNareit White Paper, less/plusexcluding significant gains/gains, losses, and impairments realized on non-real estate investments, unrealized gains or losses on the sale ofnon-real estate investments, plusgains or losses on early extinguishment of debt, preferred stock redemption charges, impairments of non-depreciable real estate, impairments of non-real estate investments, and deal costs, and the amount of such items that is allocable to our unvested restricted stock awards. Neither funds from operations nor funds from operations, as adjusted, should be considered as alternatives to net income (determined in accordance with GAAP) as indications of financial performance, or to cash flows from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) as measures of liquidity, nor are they indicative of the availability of funds for our cash needs, including our ability to make distributions.

The following table reconciles net income to funds from operations for the share of consolidated real estate joint ventures attributable to noncontrolling interests and our share of unconsolidated real estate joint ventures for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 (in thousands):

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA marginsmargin


We use Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental performance measure of real estate rentalour operations, for financial and operational decision making,decision-making, and as a supplemental or additional means of evaluating period-to-period comparisons on a consistent basis. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”), excluding stock compensation expense, gains or losses on early extinguishment of debt, gains or losses on sales of real estate, and impairments. impairments of real estate. Adjusted EBITDA also excludes unrealized gains or losses and significant realized gains and impairments that result from our non-real estate investments. These non-real estate investment amounts are classified in our consolidated statements of income outside of revenues.
We believe Adjusted EBITDA provides investors with relevant and useful information becauseas it allows investors to view income fromevaluate the operating performance of our business activities without having to account for differences recognized because of real estate rental operations on an unleveraged basis beforeand non-real estate investment and disposition decisions, financing decisions, capital structure, capital market transactions, and variances resulting from the effectsvolatility of interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock compensation expense,market conditions outside of our control. For example, we exclude gains or losses on the early extinguishment of debt gains or losses on sales of real estate, and impairments.

By excluding interest expense and gains or losses on early extinguishment of debt, Adjusted EBITDA allowsto allow investors to measure our performance independent of our indebtedness and capital structure and indebtedness. We believe that excluding charges related to share-based compensation facilitates a comparison of our operations across periods without the variances caused by the volatility of the expense (which depends on market forces outside our control).structure. We believe that adjusting for the effects of impairments and gains or losses on sales of real estate, and significant impairments and significant gains on the sale of non-real estate investments allows investors to evaluate performance from period to period on a consistent basis without having to account for differences recognized because of real estate and non-real estate investment and disposition decisions. We believe that excluding charges related to stock compensation and unrealized gains or losses facilitates for investors a comparison of our business activities across periods without the volatility resulting from market forces outside of our control. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as a measure of our performance. Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our historical cash expenditures or future cash requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments. While Adjusted EBITDA is a relevant measure of performance, it does not represent net income or cash flows from operations calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, and it should not be considered as an alternative to those indicators in evaluating performance or liquidity.


Our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA margin divides Adjusted EBITDA by our revenues, as adjusted. We believe that revenues, as adjusted, provides a denominator for Adjusted EBITDA margin that is calculated on a basis more consistent with that of the Adjusted EBITDA numerator. Specifically, revenues, as adjusted, includes the same realized gains on, and impairments of, non-real estate investments that are included in the reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA. We believe that the consistent application of results from our non-real estate investments to both the numerator and denominator of Adjusted EBITDA margin provides a more useful calculation for the comparison across periods.

Annual rental revenue
 
Annual rental revenue represents the annualized fixed base rental amount, in effect as of the end of the period, related to our operating RSF. Annual rental revenue and measures computedis presented using 100% of the annual rental revenue are presented atof our consolidated properties and our share of annual rental revenue for our unconsolidated real estate joint ventures. Annual rental revenue per RSF is computed by dividing annual rental revenue by the sum of 100% for allof the RSF of our consolidated properties underand our management, includingshare of the RSF of properties held by our consolidated andin unconsolidated real estate joint ventures. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2019, approximately 97% of our leases (on an RSF basis) were triple net leases, which require tenants to pay substantially all real estate taxes, insurance, utilities, repairs and maintenance, common area expenses, and other operating expenses (including increases thereto) in addition to base rent. Annual rental revenue excludes these operating expenses recovered from our tenants. Amounts recovered from our tenants related to these operating expenses, along with base rent, are classified in tenant recoveriesincome from rentals in our consolidated statements of income.

Average cash yield

See definition of initial stabilized yield (unlevered).


Cash interest


Cash interest is equal to interest expense calculated in accordance with GAAP plus capitalized interest, less amortization of loan fees and debt premiums/discounts. Seepremiums (discounts). Refer to the definition of fixed-charge coverage ratio“Fixed-Charge Coverage Ratio” below in this section of this Item 2 for a reconciliation of interest expense, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, to cash interest.




Class A properties and AAA locations
    
Class A properties are properties clustered in AAA locations that provide innovative tenants with highly dynamic and collaborative environments that enhance their ability to successfully recruit and retain world-class talent and inspire productivity, efficiency, creativity, and success. Class A properties generally command higher annual rental rates than other classes of similar properties.
    
AAA locations are in close proximity to concentrations of specialized skills, knowledge, institutions, and related businesses. Such locations are generally characterized by high barriers to entry for new landlords, high barriers to exit for tenants, and a limited supply of available space.

Fixed-charge coverage ratio

Fixed-charge coverage ratio is a non-GAAP financial measure representing the ratio of Adjusted EBITDA to fixed charges. We believe this ratio is useful to investors as a supplemental measure of our ability to satisfy fixed financing obligations and preferred stock dividends. Cash interest is equal to interest expense calculated in accordance with GAAP, plus capitalized interest, less amortization of loan fees and amortization of debt premiums (discounts). The fixed-charge coverage ratio calculation below is not directly comparable to the computation of ratio of earnings to fixed charges as defined in Item 503(d) of Regulation S-K and to the computation of “Consolidated Ratio of Earnings to Fixed Charges and Consolidated Ratio of Earnings to Combined Fixed Charges and Preferred Stock Dividends” included in Exhibit 12.1 to this quarterly report on Form 10‑Q.

Development, redevelopment, and pre-construction


A key component of our business model is our disciplined allocation of capital to the development and redevelopment of new Class A properties, and property enhancements identified during the underwriting of certain acquired properties, located in world-class collaborative life science, technology, and technologyagtech campuses in AAA urban innovation clusters. These projects are generally focused on providing high-quality, generic, and reusable spaces that meet the real estate requirements of, and are reusable by, a wide range of tenants. Upon completion, each value-creation project is expected to generate a significant increase in rental income, net operating income, and cash flows. Our development and redevelopment projects are generally in locations that are highly desirable to high-quality entities, which we believe results in higher occupancy levels, longer lease terms, higher rental income, higher returns, and greater long-term asset value.


Development projects generally consist of the ground-up development of generic and reusable facilities. Redevelopment projects consist of the permanent change in use of office, warehouse, and shell space into office/laboratory, or tech office, or agtech space. We generally will not commence new development projects for aboveground construction of new Class A office/laboratory, and tech office, and agtech space without first securing significant pre-leasing for such space, except when there is solid market demand for high-quality Class A properties.


Pre-construction activities include entitlements, permitting, design, site work, and other activities preceding commencement of construction of aboveground building improvements. The advancement of pre-construction efforts is focused on reducing the time required to deliver projects to prospective tenants. These critical activities add significant value for future ground-up development and are required for the vertical construction of buildings. Ultimately, these projects will provide high-quality facilities and are expected to generate significant revenue and cash flows.

Initial stabilized yield (unlevered)


Initial stabilized yield is calculated as the quotient of the estimated amounts of net operating income at stabilization and our investment in the property. Our initial stabilized yield excludes the benefit of leverage. Our cash rents related to our value-creation projects are generally expected to increase over time due to contractual annual rent escalations, and our average cash yields are generally expected to be greater than our initial stabilized yields (cash basis).escalations. Our estimates for initial stabilized yields, initial stabilized yields (cash basis), and total costs at completion represent our initial estimates at the commencement of the project. We expect to update this information upon completion of the project, or sooner if there are significant changes to the expected project yields or costs.


Initial stabilized yield reflects rental income, including contractual rent escalations and any rent concessions over the term(s) of the lease(s), calculated on a straight-line basis.
Initial stabilized yield (cash basis) reflects cash rents at the stabilization date after initial rental concessions, if any, have elapsed and our total cash investment in the property.

Joint venture financial information


We present components of balance sheet and operating results information related to our joint ventures, which are not presented in accordance with, or intended to be presentationspresented in accordance with, GAAP. We present the proportionate share of certain financial line items as follows: (i) for each real estate joint venture that we consolidate in our financial statements, but of which we own less than 100%, we apply the noncontrolling interest economic ownership percentage to each financial item to arrive at the amount of such cumulative noncontrolling interest share of each component presented; and (ii) for each real estate joint venture that we do not control, and do not consolidate, we apply our economic ownership percentage to each financial item to arrive at our proportionate share of each component presented.



The components of balance sheet and operating results information related to joint ventures do not represent our legal claim to those items. The joint venture agreement forFor each entity that we do not wholly own, the joint venture agreement generally determines what equity holders can receive upon capital events, such as sales or refinancing, or in the event of a liquidation. Equity holders are normally entitled to their respective legal ownership of any residual cash from a joint venture only after all liabilities, priority distributions, and claims have been repaid or satisfied.



We believe this information can help investors estimate the balance sheet and operating results information related to our partially owned entities. Presenting this information provides a perspective not immediately available from consolidated financial statements and one that can supplement an understanding of the joint venture assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses included in our consolidated results.


The components of balance sheet and operating results information related to joint ventures are limited as an analytical tool as the overall economic ownership interest does not represent our legal claim to each of our joint ventures’ assets, liabilities, or results of operations. In addition, joint venture financial information may include financial information related to the unconsolidated real estate joint ventures that we do not control. Refer to Note 4 – “Consolidated and Unconsolidated Real Estate Joint Ventures” to our unaudited consolidated financial statements under Item 1 of this report for more information on our unconsolidated real estate joint ventures. We believe that in order to facilitate for investors a clear understanding of our operating results and our total assets and liabilities, joint venture financial information should be examined in conjunction with our consolidated statements of income and balance sheets. Joint venture financial information should not be considered an alternative to our consolidated financial statements, which are prepared in accordance with GAAP.


Net cash provided by operating activities after dividends


Net cash provided by operating activities after dividends includes the deduction for distributions to noncontrolling interests. For purposes of this calculation, changes in operating assets and liabilities are excluded as they represent timing differences.





Net debt to Adjusted EBITDA and net debt and preferred stock to Adjusted EBITDA


Net debt to Adjusted EBITDA is aand net debt and preferred stock to Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measuremeasures that we believe isare useful to investors as a supplemental measuremeasures in evaluating our balance sheet leverage. Net debt is equal to the sum of total consolidated debt less cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash. Net debt and preferred stock is equal to the sum of net debt, as discussed above, plus preferred stock outstanding as of period end.the end of the period. Refer to “Adjusted EBITDA”EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin” within this section of this Item 2 for further information on the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA.

Net operating income is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated as net income, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, excluding equity in the earnings (losses) of our unconsolidated real estate joint ventures, general and administrative expenses, interest expense, depreciation and amortization, impairment of real estate, gaingains or losslosses on early extinguishment of debt, and gaingains or losslosses on sales of real estate.estate, and investment income or loss. We believe net operating income provides useful information to investors regarding our financial condition and results of operations because it primarily reflects those income and expense items that are incurred at the property level. Therefore, we believe net operating income is a useful measure for evaluatinginvestors to evaluate the operating performance of our consolidated real estate assets. Net operating income on a cash basis is net operating income adjusted to exclude the effect of straight-line rent and amortization of acquired above- and below-market lease revenue adjustments required by GAAP. We believe that net operating income on a cash basis is helpful to investors as an additional measure of operating performance because it eliminates the timing differences between the recognition ofstraight-line rent revenue in accordance with GAAP and the receiptamortization of payments reflected in our consolidated results.acquired above- and below-market leases.


Further,Furthermore, we believe net operating income is useful to investors as a performance measure for our consolidated properties because, when compared across periods, net operating income reflects trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, and operating costs, which provide a perspective not immediately apparent from net income.income or loss. Net operating income can be used to measure the initial stabilized yields of our properties by calculating the quotient of net operating income generated by a property on a straight-line basis and our investment in the property. Net operating income excludes certain components from net income in order to provide results that are more closely related to the results of operations of our properties. For example, interest expense is not necessarily linked to the operating performance of a real estate asset and is often incurred at the corporate level rather than at the property level. In addition, depreciation and amortization, because of historical cost accounting and useful life estimates, may distort comparability of operating performance at the property level. Impairments of real estate have been excluded in deriving net operating income because we do not consider impairments of real estate to be property-level operating expenses. Impairments of real estate relate to changes in the values of our assets and do not reflect the current operating performance with respect to related revenues or expenses. Our impairments of real estate represent the write-down in the value of the assets to the estimated fair value less cost to sell. These impairments result from investing decisions andor a deterioration in market conditions. We also exclude realized and unrealized investment income or loss calculated under a new ASU effective January 1, 2018, which results from investment decisions that occur at the corporate level related to non-real estate investments in publicly traded companies and certain privately held entities. Therefore, we do not consider these activities to be an indication of operating performance of our real estate assets at the property level. Our calculation of net operating income also excludes charges incurred from changes in certain financing decisions, such as losslosses on early extinguishment of debt, as these charges often relate to corporate strategy. Property operating expenses that are included in determining net operating income primarily consist of costs that are related to our


operating properties, such as utilities, repairs, and maintenance; rental expense related to ground leases; contracted services, such as janitorial, engineering, and landscaping; property taxes and insurance; and property-level salaries. General and administrative expenses consist


primarily of accounting and corporate compensation, corporate insurance, professional fees, office rent, and office supplies that are incurred as part of corporate office management. We calculate operating margin as net operating income divided by total revenues.

We believe that in order to facilitate for investors a clear understanding of our operating results, net operating income should be examined in conjunction with net income or loss as presented in our consolidated statements of income. Net operating income should not be considered as an alternative to net income or loss as an indication of our performance, nor as an alternative to cash flows as a measure either of our liquidity or our ability to make distributions.


Operating statistics


We present certain operating statistics related to our properties, including number of properties, RSF, annual rental revenue, annual rental revenue per occupied RSF, occupancy percentage, leasing activity, rental rates, and contractual lease expirations as of the end of the period. We believe these measures are useful to investors because they facilitate an understanding of certain trends for our properties. We compute operating statisticsthe number of properties, RSF, occupancy percentage, leasing activity, and contractual lease expirations at 100% for all properties managed by us,in which we have an investment, including properties owned by our consolidated and unconsolidated real estate joint ventures. For operating metrics based on annual rental revenue, refer to “Annual Rental Revenue” within this section of this Item 2.


Same property comparisons


As a result of changes within our total property portfolio during the comparative periods presented, including changes from assets acquired or sold, properties placed into development or redevelopment, and development or redevelopment properties recently placed into service, the consolidated total rental revenues, tenant recoveries,income from rentals, and rental operating expenses in our operating results can show significant changes from period to period. In order to supplement an evaluation of our results of operations over a given quarterly or annual period, we analyze the operating performance for all consolidated properties that were fully operating for the entirety of the comparative periods presented, referred to as same properties. We separately present quarterly and year-to-date same property results to align with the interim financial information required by the SEC in our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations. These same properties are analyzed separately from properties acquired subsequent to the first day in the earliest comparable quarterly or year-to-date period presented, properties that underwent development or redevelopment at any time during the comparative periods, unconsolidated real estate joint ventures, properties classified as held for sale, and corporate entities (legal entities performing general and administrative functions), which are excluded from same property results. Additionally, rental revenues from lease termination fees, if any, are excluded from the results of same properties.


Stabilized occupancy date


The stabilized occupancy date represents the estimated date on which the project is expected to reach occupancy of 95% or greater.

Tenant recoveries

Tenant recoveries represent revenues comprised of reimbursement of real estate taxes, insurance, utilities, repairs and maintenance, common area expenses, and other operating expenses and earned in the period during which the applicable expenses are incurred and the tenant’s obligation to reimburse us arises.

On January 1, 2019, we adopted a new lease accounting standard and, among other practical expedients and policies, we elected the single component accounting policy. As a result of our election of the single component accounting policy, we account for rental revenues and tenant recoveries generated through the leasing of real estate assets that qualify for this policy as a single component, and classify associated revenue in income from rentals in our consolidated statements of income. Prior to the adoption of the new lease accounting standard, we presented rental revenues and tenant recoveries separately in our consolidated statements of income. Refer to the “Lease Accounting” section of Note 2 - “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” for additional information. We continue to provide investors with a separate presentation of rental revenues and tenant recoveries in “Comparison of Results for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2019, to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2018” and “Comparison of Results for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2019, to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2018” sections within “Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of this report because we believe it promotes investors’ understanding of the changes in our operating results. We believe that presentation of tenant recoveries is useful to investors as a supplemental measure of our ability to recover operating expenses under our triple net leases, including recoveries of utilities, repairs and maintenance, insurance, property taxes, common area expenses, and other operating expenses, and of our ability to mitigate the effect to net income for any significant variability to components of our operating expenses.

Total equity market capitalization


Total market capitalization is equal to the sum of total equity market capitalization and total debt. Total equity market capitalization is equal to the sum of outstanding shares of 7.00% Series D cumulative convertible preferred stock, 6.45% Series E cumulative redeemable preferred stock,Convertible Preferred Stock and common stock multiplied by the related closing price of each class of security at the end of each period presented.


Total market capitalization

Total market capitalization is equal to the sum of total equity market capitalization and total debt.

Unencumbered net operating income as a percentage of total net operating income
 
Unencumbered net operating income as a percentage of total net operating income is a non-GAAP financial measure that we believe is useful to investors as a performance measure of the results of operations of our unencumbered real estate assets as it reflects those income and expense items that are incurred at the unencumbered property level. Unencumbered net operating income is derived from assets classified in continuing operations, which are not subject to any mortgage, deed of trust, lien, or other security interest, as of the period for which income is presented.

Weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding – diluted

From time to time, we enter into capital market transactions, including forward equity sales agreements, to fund acquisitions, fund construction of our highly leased development and redevelopment projects, and for general working capital purposes. We are required to consider the potential dilutive effect of our forward equity sales agreements under the treasury stock method while the forward equity sales agreements are outstanding. As of June 30, 2019, we had forward equity sales agreements outstanding to sell an aggregate 8.1 million shares of common stock, including 4.4 million shares expiring in June 2020 and 3.7 million shares expiring in July 2020. We also consider the effect of assumed conversion of our outstanding Series D Convertible Preferred Stock when determining potentially dilutive incremental shares to our common stock. When calculating the assumed conversion, we add back to net income or loss the dividends paid on our Series D Convertible Preferred Stock to the numerator and then include additional common shares assumed to have been issued (as displayed in the table below) to the denominator of the per share calculation. The effect of the assumed conversion is considered separately for our per share calculations of net income or loss; funds from operations, computed in accordance with the definition in the Nareit White Paper; and funds from operations, as adjusted. Our Series D Convertible Preferred Stock is dilutive and assumed to be converted when quarterly and annual basic EPS, funds from operations, or funds from operations, as adjusted, exceed approximately $1.75 and $7.00 per share, respectively, subject to conversion ratio adjustments and the impact of repurchases of our Series D Preferred Stock. The effect of the assumed conversion is included when it is dilutive on a per share basis. The dilutive effect to both numerator and denominator may result in a per share effect of less than a half cent, which would appear as zero in our per share calculation, even when the dilutive effect to the numerator alone appears in our reconciliation. Refer to Note 13 – “Earnings per Share” and Note 14 – “Stockholders’ Equity” to our unaudited consolidated financial statements under Item 1 of this report for more information related to our forward equity sales agreements and our Series D Convertible Preferred Stock.




The weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding used in calculating EPS – diluted, funds from operations per share – diluted, and funds from operations per share – diluted, as adjusted, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 are calculated as follows (in thousands):

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK


Interest rate risk


The primary market risk to which we believe we are exposed is interest rate risk, which may result from many factors, including government monetary and tax policies, domestic and international economic and political considerations, and other factors that are beyond our control.


In order to modify and manage the interest rate characteristics of our outstanding debt and to limit the effects of interest rate risks on our operations, we may utilize a variety of financial instruments, including interest rate swaphedge agreements, caps, floors, and other interest rate exchange contracts. The use of these types of instruments to hedge a portion of our exposure to changes in interest rates carries additional risks, such as counterparty credit risk and the legal enforceability of hedging contracts.


Our future earnings and fair values relating to financial instrumentsour outstanding debt are primarily dependent upon prevalent market rates of interest, such as LIBOR. However, ourinterest. We have interest rate hedge agreements that are intended to reduce the effects of interest rate fluctuations. The following table illustrates the effect of a 1% change in interest rates assuming a LIBOR floor of 0%, on our fixed- and variable-rate debt including our $1.65 billion unsecured senior line of credit, unsecured senior bank term loans, and secured construction loans, after considering the effect of our interest rate hedge agreements secured debt, and unsecured senior notes payable as of SeptemberJune 30, 20172019 (in thousands):


Annualized effect on future earnings due to variable-rate debt:  
Rate increase of 1%$(4,509)$(3,509)
Rate decrease of 1%$4,509
$3,509
  
Effect on fair value of total consolidated debt and interest rate hedge agreements:  
Rate increase of 1%$(201,681)$(323,769)
Rate decrease of 1%$216,680
$356,560


These amounts are determined by considering the impacteffect of the hypothetical interest rates on our borrowing cost and our interest rate hedge agreements in existence on SeptemberJune 30, 2017.2019. These analyses do not consider the effects of the reduced level of overall economic activity that could exist in such an environment. Further,Furthermore, in the event of a change of such magnitude, we would consider taking actions to further mitigate our exposure to the change. Because of the uncertainty of the specific actions that would be taken and their possible effects, the sensitivity analyses assume no changes in our capital structure.


Equity price risk


We have exposure to equity price market risk because of our equity investments in certain publicly traded companies and privately held entities. We classifyAll of our investments in publiclyactively traded public companies as available-for-sale and consequently recognize themare reflected in the consolidated balance sheets at fair value, with unrealized gains or losses reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income. Investmentsvalue. Our investments in privately held entities that report NAV per share are generally accounted for under the cost method because wemeasured at fair value using NAV as a practical expedient to fair value. Our equity investments in privately held entities that do not influence anyreport NAV per share are measured at cost less impairments, adjusted for observable price changes during the period. Changes in fair value of the operating or financial policiespublic investments, changes in NAV per share reported by privately held entities, and observable price changes of theprivately held entities that do not report NAV per share are classified as investment income in which we invest. For all investments, we recognize other-than-temporary declines in value against earnings in the same period during which the decline in value was deemed to have occurred.our consolidated statements of income. There is no assurance that future declines in value will not have a material adverse impacteffect on our future results of operations. The following table illustrates the effect that a 10% change in the fair value of our equity investments would have on earnings as of SeptemberJune 30, 20172019 (in thousands):


Equity price risk:  
Fair value increase of 10%$48,526
$105,785
Fair value decrease of 10%$(48,526)$(105,785)





Foreign currency exchange rate risk


We have exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risk related to our subsidiaries operating in Canada and Asia. The functional currencies of our foreign subsidiaries are the local currencies in each respective local currencies.country. Gains or losses resulting from the translation of our foreign subsidiaries’ balance sheets and statements of income are classified in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as a separate component of total equity.equity and are excluded from net income (loss). Gains or losses will be reflected in our consolidated statements of income when there is a sale or partial sale of our investment in these operations or upon a complete or substantially complete liquidation of the investment. The following table illustrates the effect that a 10% change in foreign currency rates relative to the U.S. dollar would have on our potential future earnings and on the fair value of our net investment in foreign subsidiaries based on our current operating assets outside the U.S. as of SeptemberJune 30, 20172019 (in thousands):


Effect of potential future earnings due to foreign currency exchange rate:

This sensitivity analysis assumes a parallel shift of all foreign currency exchange rates with respect to the U.S. dollar; however, foreign currency exchange rates do not typically move in such a manner, and actual results may differ materially.


Our exposure to market risk elements for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2019, was consistent with the risk elements presented above, including the effects of changes in interest rates, equity prices, and foreign currency exchange rates.


ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES


Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures


As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2019, we had performed an evaluation, under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”)principal executive officers and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”),principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. These controls and procedures have been designed to ensure that information required for disclosure is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the requisite time periods. Based on our evaluation, the CEOprincipal executive officers and the CFOprincipal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of SeptemberJune 30, 2017.2019.


Changes in internal control over financial reporting


There has not been any change in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2019, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.




PART II – OTHER INFORMATION


ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

In addition to the information set forth in this quarterly report on Form 10‑Q, one should also carefully review and consider the information contained in our other reports and periodic filings that we make with the SEC, including, without limitation, the information contained under the caption “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our annual report on Form 10‑K for the year ended December 31, 2018. Those risk factors could materially affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. The risks that we describe in our public filings are not the only risks that we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us, or that we presently deem to be immaterial, also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

There have been no material changes in our risk factors from those disclosed under the caption “Item 1A. Risk Factors” to our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, except for the following updates:

Changes to trade policy, including tariff and import/export regulations, could adversely affect our business operations or those of our tenants.

Changes within and outside of the U.S. leading to political instability, geopolitical tensions, currency controls, changes in import and export regulations, changes in tariff and freight rates, and changes to laws and policies governing trade, manufacturing, development, and investment in the countries where we currently have and own properties, purchase equipment or materials, or have lease agreements with tenants may adversely affect our business or that of our tenants. Our business operations include the development and redevelopment of value creation projects, which may require us to purchase equipment or supplies from vendors who are affected by such changes in laws or policies. As a result, we may experience delays, increases in costs, or difficulty in obtaining needed supplies, which may result in our failure to complete our value creation projects as intended. Additionally, our tenants who conduct business in countries subject to such changes may be adversely affected and unable to operate their businesses, which may impact their financial condition, ability to make rental payments, and ability to renew lease agreements, which in turn could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and our ability to make distributions to our stockholders.

The U.S. President has proposed or implemented changes in trade policies that include the negotiation or termination of trade agreements, the imposition of higher tariffs on certain U.S. imports, economic sanctions on individuals, corporations or countries, and other government regulations affecting trade between the U.S. and other countries where we or our tenants may conduct business. New tariffs and other changes in U.S. trade policy could trigger retaliatory actions by affected countries, resulting in further impact to the U.S. economy and our or our tenants’ businesses. An example of such changes includes the U.S. President’s negotiation and signing of a replacement trade deal for the North American Free Trade Agreement with Mexico and Canada, known as the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement ("USMCA"), which has not yet been ratified. We cannot be certain what the final provisions of the USMCA will include and how those provisions will impact our business or that of our tenants. However, there may be greater restrictions in international trade, and it may become difficult or expensive for us or our tenants to comply with the new regulations, which may result in a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations.

In addition, the U.S. government has recently imposed tariffs on certain foreign goods, including tariffs on steel and aluminum product imports announced by the U.S. Department of Commerce and on certain products that originate in China announced by the United States Trade Representative. Certain foreign governments, including China, have instituted retaliatory tariffs on certain U.S. goods and have indicated a willingness to impose additional tariffs on U.S. products. Global trade disruption, significant introductions of trade barriers, and bilateral trade frictions, together with any future downturns in the global economy resulting therefrom, may adversely affect our business operations and those of our tenants.



The risk factor set forth below amends and restates in its entirety the risk factor captioned “Changes in the method of determining LIBOR, or the replacement of LIBOR with an alternative reference rate, may adversely affect interest expense related to outstanding debt” disclosed in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018:

Changes in the method of determining LIBOR, or the replacement of LIBOR with an alternative reference rate, may
adversely affect interest expense related to outstanding debt.


We hold certain instruments in our debt profile in whichhave outstanding loans and credit facilities with interest rates move in direct relation tobased upon LIBOR, depending on our
selection of borrowing options. Beginning in 2008, concerns have been raised that some of the member banks surveyed by the BBA in connection with the calculation of daily LIBOR across a range of maturities and currencies may have underreported, overreported, or otherwise manipulated the interbank lending rate applicable to them in order to profit on their derivatives positions or to avoid an appearance of capital insufficiency or adverse reputational or other consequences that might have resulted from reporting interbank lending rates higher than those they actually submitted. A number of BBA member banks have entered into settlements with a number of their regulators and law enforcement agencies with respect to alleged manipulation of LIBOR, and investigations have been instigated by regulators and government authorities in various jurisdictions. Other member banks may also enter into such settlements with, or have proceedings brought by, their regulators or law enforcement agencies in the future. If manipulation of LIBOR occurred, it may have resulted in LIBOR having been artificially lower (or higher) than it would otherwise have been. Any such manipulation could have occurred over a substantial period of time.


On September 28, 2012, British regulators published a report on the review of LIBOR. The report concluded that LIBOR
should be retained as a benchmark but recommended a comprehensive reform of LIBOR, including replacing the BBA with a new
independent administrator of LIBOR. Based on this report, final rules for the regulation and supervision of LIBOR by the Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) were published and came into effect on April 2, 2013 (the “FCA Rules”). In particular, the FCA Rules include requirements that (i) an independent LIBOR administrator monitor and survey LIBOR submissions to identify breaches of practice standards and/or potentially manipulative behavior and (ii) firms submitting data to LIBOR establish and maintain a clear conflict-of-interest policy and appropriate systems and controls. In response, ICE Benchmark Administration Limited (“IBA”) was appointed as the independent LIBOR administrator, effective in early 2014. ItOn July 27, 2017, the FCA announced that it would phase out LIBOR as a benchmark by the end of 2021.

In addition, in November 2014, the U.S. Federal Reserve established a working group composed of large U.S. financial institutions, the Alternative Reference Rates Committee (“ARRC”), to identify a set of alternative interest reference rates to LIBOR. In a May 2016 interim report, the ARRC narrowed its choice to two LIBOR alternatives. The first choice was the Overnight Bank Funding Rate (“OBFR”), which consists of domestic and foreign unsecured borrowing in U.S. dollars. The U.S. Federal Reserve has been calculating and publishing the OBFR since March 2016. The second alternative rate to LIBOR was the Treasury General Collateral Rate, which is composed of repo transactions secured by treasuries or other assets accepted as collateral by the majority of intermediaries in the repo market.

In June 2017, the ARRC selected the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), a new index calculated by reference to short-term repurchase agreements backed by Treasury securities, as its preferred replacement for U.S. dollar LIBOR. SOFR is observed and backward looking, which stands in contrast to LIBOR under the current methodology, which is an estimated forward-looking rate and relies, to some degree, on the expert judgment of submitting panel members. Given that SOFR is a secured rate backed by government securities, it does not take into account bank credit risk (as is the case with LIBOR). SOFR is therefore likely to be lower than LIBOR and is less likely to correlate with the funding costs of financial institutions. The first publication of SOFR was released by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York in April 2018.

In April 2019, the ARRC published its recommendations on fallback language for syndicated loans, which ARRC encourages companies to use in new contracts that reference LIBOR in order to minimize market disruptions when LIBOR ceases to exist. ARRC suggested two alternative fallback language approaches for syndicated loan contracts:

“Hardwired Approach”, which clearly specifies SOFR-based successor rate and spread adjustment to be used when LIBOR ceases to exist.
“Amendment Approach”, which, unlike the Hardwired Approach, does not reference specific rates or spread adjustments but provides a streamlined amendment approach for negotiating a benchmark replacement and introduces clarity with respect to the fallback trigger events and an adjustment to be applied to the successor rate.

Since 2012 we have been closely monitoring developments in the LIBOR transition and subsequently in the SOFR markets, and have implemented numerous proactive measures to minimize the potential impact to our company, specifically:

We have been actively reducing borrowings outstanding on our LIBOR-based unsecured senior line of credit, unsecured senior bank term loans, and construction loans through repayments: from January 2017 to July 2019, we retired approximately $1.2 billion of such debt.


As of June 30, 2019, our outstanding debt included only two LIBOR-based loans: our $2.2 billion unsecured senior line of credit with an outstanding balance of $514.0 million and our unsecured senior bank term loan with an outstanding balance of $350.0 million. The aggregate outstanding balance of the aforementioned LIBOR-based loans represented less than 15% of our total debt balance outstanding as of June 30, 2019.
In July 2019, we completed a partial repayment of $175.0 million of our unsecured senior bank term loan balance and repaid all outstanding borrowings under our unsecured senior line of credit, further reducing our exposure to LIBOR. In addition, we will seek opportunities to further retire the outstanding balance of our variable-rate unsecured senior bank term loan prior to the end of 2021, in order to further reduce our exposure to LIBOR.
All of our interest rate swap agreements mature prior to LIBOR cessation at the end of 2021.
Our unsecured senior line of credit and unsecured senior bank term loan contain fallback language generally consistent with the ARRC’s Amendment Approach.
We continue to monitor developments by the ARRC and other governing bodies involved in LIBOR transition.

We continue to be proactive in managing the risk of disruption associated with the cessation of LIBOR, however, it is not possible to predict the effect of the FCA Rules, any changes in the methods pursuant to which LIBOR is determined, the administration of LIBOR by IBA, and any other reforms to LIBOR that will be enacted in the United Kingdom and elsewhere. In addition, any changes announced by the FCA, the BBA, IBA, ARRC, or any other successor governance or oversight body, or future changes adopted by such body, in the method pursuant to which LIBOR is determined, as well as manipulative practices or the cessation thereof, may result in a sudden or prolonged increase or decrease in reported LIBOR, which could have an adverse impact on the level of the index. Fluctuation or discontinuation of LIBOR would affect our interest expense and earnings and the fair value of certain of our financial instruments. We also have certain joint ventures that may require variable rate construction loans with interest based upon LIBOR plus a spread. We rely on interest rate hedge agreements to mitigate our exposure to such interest rate risk on a portion of our debt obligations. However, there is no assurance these arrangements will be effective in reducing our exposure to changes in interest rates.


In addition, in November 2014, the U.S. Federal Reserve established a working group composed of large U.S. financial institutions, the Alternative Reference Rates Committee (“ARRC”), to identify a set of alternative interest reference rates to LIBOR. In a May 2016 interim report, the ARRC narrowed its choice to two LIBOR alternatives. The first choice is the Overnight Bank Funding Rate (“OBFR”), which consists of domestic and foreign unsecured borrowing in U.S. dollars. The U.S. Federal Reserve has been calculating the OBFR and publishing it since March 2016. The second alternative rate to LIBOR is the Treasury General Collateral rate, which is composed of repo transactions secured by treasuries or other assets accepted as collateral by the majority of intermediaries in the repo market.

On July 27, 2017, the FCA announced that it would phase out LIBOR as a benchmark by the end of 2021. It is unclear whether new methods of calculating LIBOR will be established such that it continues to exist after 2021. The U.S. Federal Reserve, in conjunction with the ARRC, is considering replacing U.S. dollar LIBOR with a newly created index called the Broad Treasury Financing Rate, calculated with a broad set of short-term repurchase agreements backed by treasury securities. IfWhen LIBOR ceases to exist, we may need to negotiateamend the credit and loan agreements with our lenders that utilize LIBOR as a factor in determining the interest rate based on a new standard that is established, if any. The transition to thean alternative rate will require careful and deliberate consideration and implementation so as to not disrupt the stability of financial markets. There 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.



Security breaches through cyber-attacks, cyber-intrusions, or other methods could disrupt our information technology networks and related systems.

Risks associated with security breaches, whether through cyber-attacks or cyber-intrusions over the Internet, malware, computer viruses, attachments to e-mails, or other methods, against persons inside our organization, persons with access to systems inside our organization, the U.S. government, financial markets or institutions, or major businesses, including tenants, could disrupt or disable networks and related systems, other critical infrastructures, and the normal operationborrowers, any of business. The risk of a security breach or disruption, particularly through cyber-attack or cyber-intrusion, including by computer hackers, foreign governments, and cyber-terrorists, has generally increased as the number, intensity, and sophistication of attempted attacks and intrusions from around the world have increased. Due to the fast pace and unpredictability of cyber threats, long-term implementation plans designed to address cybersecurity risks become obsolete quickly. The SEC has recently shared its concern over the rise in cases of cyber-attacks where information was stolen by hackers to gain market advantage. As a consequence, it is critical that entities not only meet SEC expectations in the cybersecurity arena, but also invest in a program to become secure, vigilant, and resilient in the face of emerging cybersecurity risks.

Even though we may not be specifically targeted, cyber-attacks on the U.S. government, financial markets, financial institutions, or other major businesses, including tenants, could disrupt our normal business operations and networks, which may in turn have a material adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations.

Information technology networks and related systems are essential to the operation of our business and our ability to perform day-to-day operations, including managing our building systems. They also may be critical to the operations of certain of our tenants and our service providers. Although we make efforts to maintain the security and integrity of these types of networks and related systems, and we have implemented various measures to manage the risk of a security breach or disruption, there can be no assurance that our security efforts and measures will be effective or that attempted security breaches or disruptions would not be successful or damaging. Even the most well-protected information, networks, systems, and facilities remain potentially vulnerable because the techniques used in such attempted security breaches evolve and generally are not recognized until launched against a target, and in some cases are designed not to be detected and in fact may not be detected. While to date we have not experienced a cyber-attack or cyber-intrusion, we may be unable to anticipate or to implement adequate security barriers or other preventive measures. A security breach or other significant disruption involving our information technology networks and related systems could:

Disrupt the proper functioning of our networks and systems and therefore our operations and/or those of certain of our tenants;
Result in misstated financial reports, violations of loan covenants, missed reporting deadlines, and/or missed permitting deadlines;
Result in our inability to properly monitor our compliance with the rules and regulations regarding our qualification as a REIT;
Result in the unauthorized access to, and destruction, loss, theft, misappropriation, or release of, proprietary, confidential, sensitive, or otherwise valuable information of ours or others, which others could use to compete against us or for disruptive, destructive, or otherwise harmful purposes and outcomes;
Result in our inability to maintain the building systems relied upon by our tenants for the efficient use of their leased space;
Require significant management attention and resources to remedy any damages that result;
Subject us to claims for breach of contract, damages, credits, penalties, or termination of leases or other agreements; or
Damage our reputation among our tenants and investors generally.

Any or all of the foregoing could have a materialan adverse effect on our financial condition,business, results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows.stock price.


In additionThe transition to SOFR may present challenges, including, but not limited to, illiquidity of SOFR derivatives markets that could make it difficult for financial institutions to offer SOFR-based debt products, determination of the informationspread adjustment required to convert LIBOR to SOFR (and the related determination of a term structure with different maturities), and the greater volatility of SOFR, compared to that of LIBOR. Although daily pricing resets for SOFR have been noted to be more volatile than that of LIBOR, especially at month end, there is no sufficient evidence to establish how SOFR volatility compares to that of LIBOR. Whether or not SOFR attains market acceptance as a LIBOR replacement tool remains in question. As such, the future of LIBOR and potential alternatives at this time remains uncertain.

Except as set forth in this quarterly report on Form 10‑Q, one should also carefully reviewabove and consider the information contained in our other reports and periodic filings that we make with the SEC, including, without limitation, the information contained under the caption “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our annual report on Form 10‑K10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. Those risk factors could materially affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. The risks that we describe in our public filings are not the only risks that we face. Additional2018, additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us, or that we presently deem to be immaterial, also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
