Alexander’s, Inc. (NYSE: ALX) is a real estate investment trust (“REIT”), incorporated in Delaware, engaged in leasing, managing, developing and redeveloping its properties. All references to “we,” “us,” “our,” “Company” and “Alexander’s” refer to Alexander’s, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. We are managed by, and our properties are leased and developed by, Vornado Realty Trust (“Vornado”) (NYSE: VNO). We have seven properties in the greater New York City metropolitan area.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are unaudited and include the accounts of Alexander’s and its consolidated subsidiaries. All intercompany amounts have been eliminated. In our opinion, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and changes in cash flows have been made. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form10-Q of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, as filed with the SEC.

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

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an update (“ASU2014-09”) establishing Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606,Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). ASU~~ASU~~ 2014-09, as amended by subsequent ASUs on the topic, establishes a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most of the existing revenue recognition guidance. This standard, which is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years that begin after December 15, 2017, requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services and also requires certain additional disclosures. ~~When adopting this standard, we are permitted to use either the full retrospective method or the modified retrospective method.~~ We will adopt this standard effective ~~as of~~ January 1, 2018, ~~and currently expect~~with the exception of the components of revenue from leases, which has been deferred until the adoption of the update ASU2016-02 to ASC Topic 842,Leases, on January 1, 2019. We will utilize the modified retrospective method when adopting ASU2014-09, which requires a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. We have ~~progressed with our project plan for adopting this standard, including gathering and evaluating the inventory of~~analyzed our revenue ~~streams.~~streams and identified the areas that we expect to be impacted by the adoption of this standard. We expect that this standard will have an impact on the ~~presentation~~classification of ~~certain lease~~reimbursements of real estate taxes and insurance expenses and certainnon-lease components of revenue (e.g., reimbursements of common area maintenance expenses) from leases ~~upon the adoption~~on our consolidated statements of ~~the update (“ASU 2016-02”)~~~~Leases~~income, with no impact on “total ~~revenues.” We also expect this standard will have an impact~~revenues” for new leases executed on ~~the timing of gains on certain sales of real estate.~~or after January 1, 2019. We are ~~continuing to evaluate~~in the process of completing the evaluation of the overall impact of this standard on our consolidated financial ~~statements.~~statements, including required informational disclosures for our revenue streams beginning with the first reporting period after adoption.

In January 2016, the FASB issued an update (“ASU2016-01”)Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities to ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments. ASU2016-01 amends certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of financial instruments. ASU2016-01 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. While the adoption of this standard requires us to continue to measure “marketable securities” at fair value at each reporting date, the changes in fair value will be recognized in current period earnings as opposed to “other comprehensive ~~income.~~income (loss).”

In February 2016, the FASB issued an update ASU2016-02 establishing ASC Topic 842,Leases, which sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both lessees and lessors. ASU2016-02 requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase. Lessees are required to record aright-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term of greater than 12 months. Leases with a term of 12 months or less will be accounted for similar to existing guidance for operating leases. Lessees will recognize expense based on the effective interest method for finance leases or on a straight-line basis for operating leases. ~~ASU 2016-02 is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted.~~ We are currently evaluating the overall impact of the adoption of ASU2016-02 on our consolidated financial statements ~~including~~and believe that the ~~timing of adopting this standard. ASU 2016-02~~standard will more significantly impact the accounting for leases in which we are a lessee. ~~Upon adoption of this standard, we~~We will be required to record aright-of-use asset and lease liability for our Flushing property ground lease, equal to the present value of the remaining minimum lease ~~payments.~~payments upon adoption of this standard. We also expect that this standard will require us to allocate total consideration from leases between lease andnon-lease components based on the estimated stand-alone selling prices of the components. The lease components (e.g., base rent) will continue to be recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease and certainnon-lease components (e.g., reimbursements of common area maintenance expenses) will be accounted for under the new revenue recognition guidance of ASU2014-09. As a result, we expect that this standard will have an impact on the ~~presentation~~classification of ~~certain lease~~reimbursements of real estate taxes, insurance expenses and ~~non-lease components~~common area maintenance expenses on our consolidated statements of ~~revenue from leases~~income, with no impact on “total ~~revenues.” In particular, items such~~revenues” for new leases executed on or after January 1, 2019. ASU2016-02 is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. We will adopt this standard as ~~reimbursable real estate taxes~~of January 1, 2019 under the modified retrospective approach and ~~insurance expenses,~~ will be presented in “property rentals” and non-lease components, such as certain reimbursable operating expenses, will be presented in “expense reimbursements” on our consolidated statements of income.elect to use the practical expedients provided by this standard.

In March 2016, the FASB issued an update (“ASU2016-09”)Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting to ASC Topic 718,Compensation – Stock Compensation(“ASC 718”). ASU2016-09 amends several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. ASU2016-09 is was effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. The adoption of this update as of January 1, 2017, did not have any impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued an update (“ASU2016-15”)Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments to ASC Topic 230,Statement of Cash Flows. ASU2016-15 clarifies guidance on the classification of certain cash receipts and payments in the statement of cash flows to reduce diversity in practice with respect to (i) debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs, (ii) settlement ofzero-coupon debt instruments or other debt instruments with coupon interest rates that are insignificant in relation to the effective interest rate of the borrowing, (iii) contingent consideration payments made after a business combination, (iv) proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims, (v) proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies, including bank-owned life insurance policies, (vi) distributions received from equity method investees, (vii) beneficial interests in securitization transactions, and (viii) separately identifiable cash flows and application of the predominance principle. ASU2016-15 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. We elected to early adopt ASU2016-15 effective January 1, 2017. The adoption of this update did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In November 2016, the FASB issued an update (“ASU2016-18”)Restricted Cash to ASC Topic 230,Statement of Cash Flows. ASU2016-18 requires that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents will be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning of period and end of period balances on the statement of cash flows upon adoption of this standard. ASU2016-18 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. We elected to early adopt ASU2016-18 effective January 1, 2017, with retrospective application to our consolidated statements of cash flows. Accordingly, the consolidated statements of cash flows present a reconciliation of the changes in cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash. Restricted cash primarily consists of cash held in anon-interest bearing escrow account in connection with our Rego Park I 100% cash collateralized mortgage, as well as security deposits and other cash escrowed under loan agreements for debt service, real estate taxes, property insurance and capital improvements.

In February 2017, the FASB issued an update (“ASU2017-05”)Clarifying the Scope of Asset Derecognition Guidance and Accounting for Partial Sales of Nonfinancial Assets to ASC Subtopic610-20,Other ~~Income–~~Income –Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets. ASU2017-05 clarifies the scope of recently established guidance on nonfinancial asset derecognition as well as the accounting for partial sales of nonfinancial assets. This update conforms the derecognition guidance on nonfinancial assets with the model for transactions in ASC 606. ASU2017-05 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. ~~We expect to utilize the modified retrospective method of adoption.~~ The adoption of this standard is not expected to have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In August 2017, the FASB issued an update (“ASU2017-12”)Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activitiesto ASC Topic 815,Derivatives and Hedging(“ASC 815”). ASU2017-12 amends the hedge accounting recognition and presentation requirements in ASC 815. The update is intended to more closely align hedge accounting with companies’ risk management strategies, simplify the application of hedge accounting and increase transparency as to the scope and results of hedge programs. ASU2017-12 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

On July 28, 2017, we entered into a participation and servicing agreement with the lender on our Rego Park II shopping center loan, which matures on November 30, 2018. We paid $200,000,000 to participate in the loan and are entitled to interest of LIBOR plus 1.60% (2.84% as of September 30, 2017). The investment is presented as “Rego Park II loan participation” on our consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2017 and interest earned is recognized as “interest and other income, net” in our consolidated statements of income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017.

As of ~~June~~September 30, 2017, Vornado owned 32.4% of our outstanding common stock. We are managed by, and our properties are leased and developed by, Vornado, pursuant to the agreements described below, which expire in March of each year and are automatically renewable.

We pay Vornado an annual management fee equal to the sum of (i) $2,800,000, (ii) 2% of gross revenue from the Rego Park II shopping center, (iii) $0.50 per square foot of the tenant-occupied office and retail space at 731 Lexington Avenue and (iv) $306,000, escalating at 3% per annum, for managing the common area of 731 Lexington Avenue.

Vornado also provides us with leasing services for a fee of 3% of rent for the first ten years of a lease term, 2% of rent for the eleventh through the twentieth year of a lease term, and 1% of rent for the twenty-first through thirtieth year of a lease term, subject to the payment of rents by tenants. In the event third-party real estate brokers are used, the fees to Vornado increase by 1% and Vornado is responsible for the fees to the third-party real estate brokers. Vornado is also entitled to a commission upon the sale of any of our assets equal to 3% of gross proceeds, as defined, for asset sales less than $50,000,000 and 1% of gross proceeds, as defined, for asset sales of $50,000,000 or more.

We also have agreements with Building Maintenance Services, a wholly owned subsidiary of Vornado, to supervise (i) cleaning, engineering and security services at our 731 Lexington Avenue property and (ii) security services at our Rego Park I and Rego Park II properties and The Alexander apartment tower.

As of ~~June~~September 30, 2017, the amounts due to Vornado were ~~$27,000~~$24,000 for development fees; ~~$523,000~~$507,000 for management, property management, cleaning and security fees; and ~~$1,000~~$2,000 for leasing fees. As of December 31, 2016, the amounts due to Vornado were $54,000 for development fees; $428,000 for management, property management, cleaning and security fees; and $415,000 for leasing fees. In January 2016, we paid an $8,916,000 leasing commission related to the Bloomberg L.P. (“Bloomberg”) lease amendment, of which $7,200,000 was to a third party broker and $1,716,000 was to Vornado. In March 2016, we paid Vornado a development fee of $5,784,000 related to The Alexander apartment tower.

~~As of June 30, 2017, our~~Our affiliate, Vornado, ~~owned~~owns 32.5% of Toys. ~~Toys leases approximately 47,000 square feet of retail space at our Rego Park II shopping center.~~ Joseph Macnow, Vornado’s Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer and Wendy A. Silverstein, a member of our Board of Directors, represent Vornado as members of Toys’ Board of Directors. ~~We recognized $1,334,000 and $1,309,000~~Toys leases 47,000 square feet of ~~revenue~~retail space at our Rego Park II shopping center ($2,700,000 of annual revenue). On September 18, 2017, Toys filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy relief. There are $1,617,000 of unamortized assets on our consolidated balance sheet related to the ~~space leased by~~ Toys ~~during the six months ended June~~lease as of September 30, 2017, including tenant improvements, deferred leasing costs and ~~2016, respectively.~~receivables arising from the straight-lining of rent.

As of ~~June~~September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we owned 535,265 common shares of The Macerich Company (“Macerich”) (NYSE: MAC). These shares have an economic cost of $56.05 per share, or $30,000,000 in the aggregate. As of ~~June~~September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the fair value of these shares was ~~$31,077,000~~$29,424,000 and $37,918,000, respectively, based on Macerich’s closing share price of ~~$58.06~~$54.97 per share and $70.84 per share, respectively. These shares are included in “marketable securities” on our consolidated balance sheets and are classified asavailable-for-sale.Available-for-sale securities are presented at fair value and unrealized gains and losses resulting from themark-to-market of these securities are included in “other comprehensive (loss) income.”

Bloomberg ~~L.P. (“Bloomberg”)~~ accounted for revenue of ~~$52,187,000~~$78,786,000 and ~~$52,217,000~~$78,567,000 for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, representing approximately 46% of our total revenues in each period. No other tenant accounted for more than 10% of our total revenues. If we were to lose Bloomberg as a tenant, or if Bloomberg were to be unable to fulfill its obligations under its lease, it would adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. In order to assist us in our continuing assessment of Bloomberg’s creditworthiness, we receive certain confidential financial information and metrics from Bloomberg. In addition, we access and evaluate financial information regarding Bloomberg from other private sources, as well as publicly available data.

We account for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718. Our 2016 Omnibus Stock Plan (the “Plan”) provides for grants of incentive andnon-qualified stock options, restricted stock, stock appreciation rights, deferred stock units (“DSUs”) and performance shares, as defined, to the directors, officers and employees of the Company and Vornado.

InOn May 18, 2017, we granted each of the members of our Board of Directors 183 DSUs with a grant date fair value of $56,250 per grant, or $394,000 in the aggregate. The DSUs entitle the holders to receive shares of the Company’s common stock without the payment of any consideration. The DSUs vested immediately and accordingly, were expensed on the date of grant, but the shares of common stock underlying the DSUs are not deliverable to the grantee until the grantee is no longer serving on the Company’s Board of Directors. As of ~~June~~September 30, 2017, there were 8,692 DSUs outstanding and 497,095 shares were available for future grant under the Plan.

InOn June 1, 2017, we completed a $500,000,000 refinancing of the office portion of 731 Lexington Avenue. The interest-only loan is at LIBOR plus 0.90% and matures in June 2020, with fourone-year extension options. In connection therewith, we purchased an interest rate cap with a notional amount of $500,000,000 that caps LIBOR at a rate of 6.0%. The property was previously encumbered by a $300,000,000 interest-only mortgage at LIBOR plus 0.95% which was scheduled to mature in March 2021.

ASC 820,Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures defines fair value and establishes a framework for measuring fair value. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into three levels: Level 1 – quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities; Level 2 – observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted in active markets, but corroborated by market data; and Level 3 – unobservable inputs that are used when little or no market data is available. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs and the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs. In determining fair value, we utilize valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible, as well as consider counterparty credit risk in our assessment of fair value.

Financial assets measured at fair value on our consolidated balance sheets as of ~~June~~September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, consist of marketable securities, which are presented in the table below based on their level in the fair value hierarchy, and an interest rate cap, which fair value was insignificant as of ~~June~~September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. There were no financial liabilities measured at fair value as of ~~June~~September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

We maintain general liability insurance with limits of $300,000,000 per occurrence and per property, andall-risk property and rental value insurance coverage with limits of $1.7 billion per occurrence, including coverage for acts of terrorism, withsub-limits for certain perils such as floods and earthquakes on each of our properties.

Fifty Ninth Street Insurance Company, LLC (“FNSIC”), our wholly owned consolidated subsidiary, acts as a direct insurer for coverage for acts of terrorism, including nuclear, biological, chemical and radiological (“NBCR”) acts, as defined by the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act, which expires in December 2020. Coverage for acts of terrorism (including NBCR acts) is up to $1.7 billion per occurrence and in the aggregate. Coverage for acts of terrorism (excluding NBCR acts) is fully reinsured by third party insurance companies and the Federal government with no exposure to FNSIC. For NBCR acts, FNSIC is responsible for a $293,000 deductible and 17% of the balance of a covered loss, and the Federal government is responsible for the remaining 83% of a covered loss. We are ultimately responsible for any loss incurred by FNSIC.

We continue to monitor the state of the insurance market and the scope and costs of coverage for acts of terrorism. However, we cannot anticipate what coverage will be available on commercially reasonable terms in the future. We are responsible for deductibles and losses in excess of our insurance coverage, which could be material.

Our mortgage loans arenon-recourse to us and contain customary covenants requiring us to maintain insurance. Although we believe that we have adequate insurance coverage for purposes of these agreements, we may not be able to obtain an equivalent amount of coverage at reasonable costs in the future. If lenders insist on greater coverage than we are able to obtain, it could adversely affect our ability to finance our properties.

InOn April 4, 2017, Sears closed its 195,000 square foot store it leases from us at our Rego Park I property. Annual revenue ~~including reimbursements,~~ is approximately $10,337,000, under a lease which expires in March of 2021. In its 2016 annual report on Form10-K, Sears indicated that substantial doubt exists related to its ability to continue as a going concern. There is a straight-line rent receivable of approximately ~~$4,460,000~~$4,160,000 and unamortized deferred leasing costs of approximately ~~$468,000~~$437,000 on our consolidated balance sheet as of ~~June~~September 30, 2017 which we will continue to assess for recoverability.

On September 19, 2017, the bankruptcy court approved the terms of an order stipulation between Le Cirque, a restaurant operator which leases 13,000 square feet at our 731 Lexington Avenue property (approximately $1,200,000 of annual revenue), and the Company which terminates the lease on January 5, 2018 (original lease expiration was May of 2021). As a result, we began accelerating depreciation and amortization of approximately $2,780,000 of tenant improvements and deferred leasing costs over the new lease term, of which approximately $280,000 was recognized in the quarter ended September 30, 2017 and approximately $2,370,000 and $130,000 will be recognized in the quarters ending December 31, 2017 and March 31, 2018, respectively.

OnIn June ~~24,~~ 2014, Sears Roebuck and Co. (“Sears”) filed a lawsuit in the Supreme Court of the State of New York against Vornado and us (and certain of our subsidiaries) with regard to space that Sears leases at our Rego Park I property alleging that the defendants are liable for harm that Sears has suffered as a result of (a) water intrusions into the premises, (b) two fires in February 2014 that caused damages to those premises, and (c) alleged violations of the Americans with Disabilities Act in the premises’ parking garage. Sears asserted various causes of actions for damages and sought to compel compliance with landlord’s obligations to repair the premises and to provide security, and to compel us to abate a nuisance that Sears claims was a cause of the water intrusions into its premises. In addition to injunctive relief, Sears sought, among other things, damages of not less than $4 million and future damages it estimated would not be less than $25 million. In March 2016, Sears withdrew its claim for future damages leaving a remaining claim for property damages, which we estimate to be approximately $650,000 based on information provided by Sears. We intend to defend the remaining claim vigorously. The amount or range of reasonably possible losses, if any, is not expected to be greater than $650,000.

In 2001, we leased 30.3 acres of land located in Paramus, New Jersey to IKEA Property, Inc. The lease has a purchase option in 2021 for $75,000,000. The property is encumbered by a $68,000,000 interest-only mortgage loan with a fixed rate of 2.90%, which matures inon October 5, 2018. The annualtriple-net rent is the sum of $700,000 plus the amount of debt service on the mortgage loan. If the purchase option is exercised, we will receive net cash proceeds of approximately $7,000,000 and recognize a gain on sale of land of approximately $60,000,000. If the purchase option is not exercised, thetriple-net rent for the last 20 years would include debt service sufficient to fully amortize $68,000,000 over the remaining20-year lease term.

Approximately ~~$2,074,000~~$1,474,000 of standby letters of credit were outstanding as of ~~June~~September 30, 2017.

OnIn October ~~15,~~ 2015, the New York City Department of Finance (“NYC DOF”) issued a Notice of Determination to us assessing an additional ~~$22,070,000~~$22,490,000 of transfer taxes (including interest and penalties as of ~~June~~September 30, 2017) in connection with the sale of Kings Plaza Regional Shopping Center in November 2012. We believe that the NYC DOF’s claim is without merit and intend to vigorously contest this assessment. We have determined that the likelihood of a loss related to this issue is not probable and, after consultation with legal counsel, that the outcome of this assessment is not expected to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

There are various other legal actions against us in the ordinary course of business. In our opinion, the outcome of such matters in the aggregate will not have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted income per share. Basic income per share is determined using the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted income per share is determined using the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding during the period, and assumes all potentially dilutive securities were converted into common shares at the earliest date possible. There were no potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2017 and 2016.

On July 28, 2017, we entered into a participation and servicing agreement with the lender on our Rego Park II shopping center loan. We invested $200,000,000 as a participant in the loan, receiving interest of LIBOR plus 1.60%, currently 2.83%. The loan matures in November 2018.

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Alexander’s, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of ~~June~~September 30, 2017, and the related consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income for the three and ~~six~~nine month periods ended ~~June~~September 30, 2017 and 2016, and changes in equity and cash flows for the ~~six~~nine month periods ended ~~June~~September 30, 2017 and 2016. These interim financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to such consolidated interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of Alexander’s, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2016, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 13, 2017, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2016 is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

ITEM 2.

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

Certain statements contained in this Quarterly Report constitute forward-looking statements as such term is defined in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. They involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Our future results, financial condition, results of operations and business may differ materially from those expressed in these forward-looking statements. You can find many of these statements by looking for words such as “approximates,” “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “intends,” “plans,” “would,” “may” or other similar expressions in this Quarterly Report on Form10-Q.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations include a discussion of our consolidated financial statements for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2017 and 2016. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The results of operations for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

Property rental income is our primary source of cash flow and is dependent on a number of factors, including the occupancy level and rental rates of our properties, as well as our tenants’ ability to pay their rents. Our properties provide us with a relatively consistent stream of cash flow that enables us to pay our operating expenses, interest expense, recurring capital expenditures and cash dividends to stockholders. Other sources of liquidity to fund cash requirements include our existing cash, proceeds from financings, including mortgage or construction loans secured by our properties and proceeds from asset sales. We anticipate that cash flows from continuing operations over the next twelve months, together with existing cash balances, will be adequate to fund our business operations, cash dividends to stockholders, debt amortization and capital expenditures.

FFO is computed in accordance with the definition adopted by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”). NAREIT defines FFO as GAAP net income or loss adjusted to exclude net gains from sales of depreciated real estate assets, real estate impairment losses, depreciation and amortization expense from real estate assets and other specifiednon-cash items, including the pro rata share of such adjustments of unconsolidated subsidiaries. FFO and FFO per diluted share are used by management, investors and analysts to facilitate meaningful comparisons of operating performance between periods and among our peers because it excludes the effect of real estate depreciation and amortization and net gains on sales, which are based on historical costs and implicitly assume that the value of real estate diminishes predictably over time, rather than fluctuating based on existing market conditions. FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities and is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash requirements and should not be considered as an alternative to net income as a performance measure or cash flow as a liquidity measure. FFO may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. A reconciliation of our net income to FFO is provided below.

We have exposure to fluctuations in interest rates, which are sensitive to many factors that are beyond our control. Our exposure to a change in interest rates is summarized in the table below.

As of ~~June~~September 30, 2017, we have an interest rate cap with a notional amount of $500,000,000 that caps LIBOR at a rate of 6.0%.

The fair value of our mortgages payable is calculated by discounting the future contractual cash flows of these instruments using current risk-adjusted rates available to borrowers with similar credit ratings, which are provided by a third-party specialist. As of ~~June~~September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the estimated fair value of our mortgages payable was ~~$1,245,000,000~~$1,241,000,000 and $1,045,000,000, respectively. Our fair value estimates, which are made at the end of the reporting period, may be different from the amounts that may ultimately be realized upon the disposition of our financial instruments.

(a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures: Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules13a-15(e) and15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form10-Q. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

(b) Internal Control Over Financial Reporting: There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter to which this Quarterly Report on Form10-Q relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

We are from time to time involved in legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. In our opinion, the outcome of such matters in the aggregate will not have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

For a discussion of the litigation concerning our Rego Park I property, see “Part I – Financial Information, Item 1 – Financial Statements, Note 1011 – Commitments and Contingencies.”

There have been no material changes in our “Risk Factors” as previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.

Exhibits required by Item 601 of RegulationS-K are filed herewith and are listed in the attached Exhibit Index.
