CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q of Columbia Property Trust, Inc. ("Columbia Property Trust," "the Company," "we," "our," or "us") other than historical facts may be considered forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. We intend for all such forward-looking statements to be covered by the applicable safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in those acts. Such statements include, in particular, statements about our plans, strategies, and prospects and are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, including known and unknown risks, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected or anticipated. Therefore, such statements are not intended to be a guarantee of our performance in future periods. Such forward-looking statements can generally be identified by our use of forward-looking terminology such as "may," "will," "expect," "intend," "anticipate," "estimate," "believe," "continue," or other similar words. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date this report is filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). We make no representations or warranties (express or implied) about the accuracy of any such forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q, and we do not intend to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.
Any such forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors and are based on a number of assumptions involving judgments with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive, and market conditions, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately. To the extent that our assumptions differ from actual conditions, our ability to accurately anticipate results expressed in such forward-looking statements, including our ability to generate positive cash flow from operations, make distributions to stockholders, and maintain the value of our real estate properties, may be significantly hindered. See Item 1A in Columbia Property Trust's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20152016 for a discussion of some of the risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those presented in our forward-looking statements. The risk factors described in our Annual Report are not the only ones we face, but do represent those risks and uncertainties that we believe are material to us. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also harm our business.

See Note 3, Real Estate Transactions).Transactions, for additional information.
2.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements of Columbia Property Trust have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), including the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X, and do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the statements for thesethe unaudited interim periods presented include all adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring nature, necessary for a fair and consistent presentation of the results for such periods. Results for these interim periods are not necessarily indicative of a full year's results. Columbia Property Trust's consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Columbia Property Trust, Columbia Property Trust OP, and any variable interest entity in which Columbia Property Trust or Columbia Property Trust OP was deemed the primary beneficiary. With respect to entities that are not variable interest entities, Columbia Property Trust's consolidated financial statements also include the accounts of any entity in which Columbia Property Trust, Columbia Property Trust OP, or their subsidiaries own a controlling financial interest and any limited partnership in which Columbia Property Trust, Columbia Property Trust OP, or their subsidiaries own a controlling general partnership interest.

For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes included in Columbia Property Trust's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20152016 (the "20152016 Form 10-K").
Fair Value Measurements
Columbia Property Trust estimates the fair value of its assets and liabilities (where currently required under GAAP) consistent with the provisions of Accounting Standard Codification ("ASC") 820, Fair Value Measurements ("ASC 820"). Under this standard, fair value is defined as the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid upon transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. While various techniques and assumptions can be used to estimate fair value depending on the nature of the asset or liability, the accounting standard for fair value measurements and disclosures provides the following fair value technique parameters and hierarchy, depending upon availability:
Level 1 – Assets or liabilities for which the identical term is traded on an active exchange, such as publicly traded instruments or futures contracts.
Level 2 – Assets or liabilities valued based on observable market data for similar instruments.
Level 3 – Assets or liabilities for which significant valuation assumptions are not readily observable in the market. Such assets or liabilities are valued based on the best available data, some of which may be internally developed. Significant assumptions may include risk premiums that a market participant would consider.

Page 10


Real Estate Assets
Columbia Property Trust is required to make subjective assessments as to the useful lives of its depreciable assets. Columbia Property Trust considers the period of future benefit of the asset to determine the appropriate useful lives. These assessments have a direct impact on net income. The estimated useful lives of its assets by class are as follows:
Buildings  4040-45 years
Building and site improvements  5-25 years
Tenant improvements  Shorter of economic life or lease term
Intangible lease assets  Lease term
Evaluating the Recoverability of Real Estate Assets
Columbia Property Trust continually monitors events and changes in circumstances that could indicate that the carrying amounts of its real estate and related intangible assets, of both operating properties and properties under construction, in which Columbia Property Trust has an ownership interest, either directly or through investments in joint ventures, may not be recoverable. When indicators of potential impairment are present that suggest that the carrying amounts of real estate assets and related intangible assets and liabilities may not be recoverable, Columbia Property Trust assesses the recoverability of these assets and liabilities by determining whether the respective carrying values will be recovered through the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected from the use of the assets and their eventual disposition. In the event that such expected undiscounted future cash flows do not exceed the carrying values, Columbia Property Trust adjusts the carrying value of the real estate assets and related intangible assets and liabilities to the estimated fair values, pursuant to the property, plant, and equipment accounting standard for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets, and recognizes an impairment loss. Estimated fair values are calculated based on the following information, in orderhierarchy of preference,information, depending upon availability: (i) recently quoted market prices, (ii) market prices for comparable properties, or (iii) the present value of future cash flows, including estimated residual value. Certain of Columbia Property Trust's assets may be carried at more than an amount that could be realized in a current disposition transaction. Based on the assessment as described above, Columbia Property Trust has determined that there is no impairment in the carrying values of ourall its real estate assets and related intangible assets are recoverable as of SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2017.
Projections of expected future operating cash flows require that Columbia Property Trust estimate future market rental income amounts subsequent to the expiration of current lease agreements, property operating expenses, the number of months it takes to re-lease the property, and the number of years the property is held for investment, among other factors. TheDue to the inherent subjectivity of the assumptions used in theto project future cash flow analysis, including discount rates, could resultflows, estimated fair values may differ from the values that would be realized in an incorrect assessment of the property's fair value and could result in the misstatement of the carrying value of Columbia Property Trust's real estate assets and related intangible assets and liabilities and net income.market transactions.
Assets Held for Sale
Columbia Property Trust classifies assetsproperties as held for sale according to ASCAccounting Standard Codification 360, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets ("ASC 360"). According to ASC 360, assetsproperties, having separately identifiable operations and cash flows, are considered held for sale when the following criteria are met:
Management, having the authority to approve the action, commits to a plan to sell the property.
The property is available for immediate sale in its present condition subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of such property.
An active program to locate a buyer and other actions required to complete the plan to sell the property have been initiated.
The property is being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value.
Actions required to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn.
The sale of the property is probable (i.e., typically subject to a binding sale contract with a non-refundable deposit), and transfer of the property is expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year.
At such time that a property is determined to be held for sale, its carrying amount is adjusted to the lower of its depreciated book value or its estimated fair value, less costs to sell, and depreciation is no longer recognized; and assets and liabilities are required to be classified as held for sale on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017, none of Columbia Property Trust's properties met the criteria to be classified as held for sale in the accompanying balance sheet. As of December 31, 2016, the Key Center Tower, and the Key Center Marriott, 5 Houston Center, Energy Center I, and the 9127 South Jamaica Street building515 Post Oak were subject to binding sale contracts and met the other aforementioned criteria; thus, these properties are classified as held for sale in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of

consolidated balance sheet as of that date. The sale of the 9127 South Jamaica Street building5 Houston Center, Energy Center I, and 515 Post Oak closed on October 12, 2016January 6, 2017, and the sale of Key Center Tower and Key Center Marriott closed on January 31, 2017 (see Note 3, Real Estate Transactions).

Interest Rate Swap Agreements
Columbia Property Trust enters into interest rate swap contracts to mitigate its interest rate risk on the related financial instruments. Columbia Property Trust does not enter into derivative or interest rate swap transactions for speculative purposes; however, certain of its derivatives may not qualify for hedge accounting treatment. Columbia Property Trust records the fair value of its interest rate swaps either as prepaid expenses and other assets or as accounts payable, accrued expenses, and accrued capital expenditures. Changes in the fair value of the effective portion of interest rate swaps that are designated as cash flow hedges are recorded as other comprehensive income, while changes in the fair value of the ineffective portion of a cash flow hedge, if any, are recognized currently in earnings. All changes in the fair value of interest rate swaps that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment are recorded as gain (loss)or loss on interest rate swaps. Amounts received or paid under interest rate swap agreements are recorded as interest expense for contracts that qualify for hedge accounting treatment and as gain (loss)or loss on interest rate swaps for contracts that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment. The following tables provide additional information related to Columbia Property Trust's interest rate swaps (in thousands):

Income Taxes
Columbia Property Trust has elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and has operated as such beginning with its taxable year ended December 31, 2003. To qualify as a REIT, Columbia Property Trust must meet certain organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement to distribute at least 90% of its REIT taxable income, as defined by the Code, to its stockholders. As a REIT, Columbia Property Trust generally is not subject to income tax on income it distributes to stockholders. Columbia Property Trust's stockholder distributions typically exceed its taxable income due to the inclusion of noncash expenses, such as depreciation, in taxable income. As a result, Columbia Property Trust typically does not incur federal income taxes other than as described in the following paragraph. Columbia Property Trust is, however, subject to certain state and local taxes related to the operations of properties in certain locations, which have been provided for in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Columbia Property Trust TRS, LLC, ("Columbia Property Trust TRS"), Columbia KCP TRS, LLC, ("Columbia KCP TRS"), and Columbia Energy TRS, LLC ("Columbia Energy TRS") (collectively, the "TRS Entities") are wholly owned subsidiaries of Columbia Property Trust and are organized as Delaware limited liability companies, and operate,companies. The TRS Entities, among other things, office propertiesprovide tenant services that Columbia Property Trust, does not intend to hold long term andas a full-service hotel.REIT, cannot otherwise provide. Columbia Property Trust has elected to treat the TRS Entities as taxable REIT subsidiaries. Columbia Property Trust may perform certain additional, noncustomary services for tenants of its buildings through the TRS Entities; however, any earnings related to such services are subject to federal and state income taxes. In addition, for Columbia Property Trust to continue to qualify as a REIT, Columbia Property Trust must limit its investments in taxable REIT subsidiaries to 25% of the value of the total assets. The TRS Entities' deferred tax assets and

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2016,February 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued Accounting Standard Update 2017-05, Clarifying the Scope of Asset Derecognition Guidance and Accounting for Partial Sales of Non-Financial Assets ("ASU 2016-15, Classification of Cash Receipts and Payments ("ASU 2016-15"2017-05"), which addresseswill apply to the statementpartial sale of cash flow classification requirements for several types of receipts and payments.non-financial assets, including real estate assets, to unconsolidated joint ventures.

ASU 2017-05 is to be implemented at the same time as Accounting Standards Update 2014-09, Revenue from equity method investees should be classified based on the underlying nature of the investee activity according to specific guidelines. ASU 2016-15Contracts with Customers (as described below), and is effective for Columbia Property Trust on January 1, 2018, with early adoption permitted. ASU 2016-15 is not expected to materially impact Columbia Property Trust'sTrust anticipates adopting ASU 2017-05 retrospectively with a cumulative-effect adjustment booked to retained earnings at adoption. This adjustment will (1) mark investments in unconsolidated joint ventures to fair value as of the date of contribution to the unconsolidated joint ventures, and (2) recognize the remainder of the gain associated with transferring the assets to the unconsolidated joint venture. Columbia Property Trust is evaluating the impact of ASU 2017-05 and anticipates applying the modified-retrospective approach of implementation by recording a cumulative-effect adjustment to equity for investments in unconsolidated joint ventures in which Columbia Property Trust had previously contributed property and recognized a gain on a partial property sale (see Note 4, Unconsolidated Joint Venture).
In January 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2017-01, Clarifying the Definition of a Business ("ASU 2017-01"), which provides a more narrow definition of a business to be used in determining the accounting policies, ortreatment of an acquisition, and, as a result, many acquisitions that previously qualified as business combinations will be treated as asset acquisitions. For asset acquisitions, acquisition costs may be capitalized, and purchase price may be allocated on a relative fair-value basis. ASU 2017-01 is effective prospectively for Columbia Property Trust on January 1, 2018, with early adoption permitted. For real estate acquisitions completed subsequent to its financial statements.adoption, Columbia Property Trust anticipates that ASU 2017-01 will result in simplified purchase price allocations and the capitalization of associated acquisition costs.
In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update2016-02ASU 2016-02,, Leases ("ASU 2016-02"), which amends the existing standards for lease accounting by requiring lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets and by making targeted changes to lessor accounting and reporting.reporting, including the classification of lease components and nonlease components, such as services provided to tenants. The new standard will require lessees to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term of greater than 12 months, and classify such leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase of the leased asset by the lessee.lessee, or not. This classification will determine whether the lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method (finance leases), or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease (operating leases). Leases with a term of 12 months or less will be accounted for using an approach that is similar to existing guidance for operating leases today. The new standard requires lessors to account for leases using an approach that is substantially equivalent to existing guidance as applies to sales-type leases, direct financing leases, and operating leases. ASU 2016-02 supersedes previous leasing standards. ASU 2016-02 iswill be effective for Columbia Property Trust on January 1, 2019 and supersedes previous leasing standards. Once effective, Columbia Property Trust anticipates separating lease components from nonlease components, which will be evaluated under ASU 2014-09, as described below.
In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASU 2014-09"), which establishes a comprehensive model to account for reporting periodsrevenue arising from contracts with customers. ASU 2014-09 applies to all contracts with customers, except those that are within the scope of other topics in the FASB's Accounting Standards Codification, including real estate leases. ASU 2014-09 will require companies to perform a five-step analysis of transactions to determine when and how revenue is recognized. ASU 2014-09 will be effective retrospectively for Columbia Property Trust beginning after December 15,on January 1, 2018, withand early adoption is permitted. Columbia Property Trust is evaluatingcontinuing to evaluate the impact that ASU 2016-022014-09 will have on its financial positionstatements and resultsdisclosures; however, Columbia Property Trust primarily derives revenue from real estate leases, which are excluded from ASU 2014-09. Columbia Property Trust is in the process of operations.evaluating the criteria of ASU 2014-09 and determining what impact the new standard will have on revenue streams generated from activities other than leasing, including asset management fees. At adoption, Columbia Property Trust anticipates applying the modified-retrospective approach of implementation as of the effective date and providing more extensive disclosures around our revised revenue recognition policy. Columbia Property Trust also anticipates that, upon the adoption of ASU 2016-02, as described above, nonlease components of revenue will also be evaluated under ASU 2014-09.

Fair Value of Debt
The estimated fair value of Columbia Property Trust's line of credit and notes payable as of SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and December 31, 2015,2016, was approximately $829.4$651.7 million and $1,140.1$728.5 million, respectively.

Columbia Property Trust estimated the fair value of the $300 Million Term Loan (the "$300 Million Term Loan") and the Revolving Credit Facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility") by obtaining estimates for similar facilities from multiple market participants as of the respective reporting dates. Therefore, the fair values determined are considered to be based on observable market data for similar instruments (Level 2). The fair values of all other debt instruments were estimated based on discounted cash flow analyses using the current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements as of the respective reporting dates. The discounted cash flow method of assessing fair value results in a general approximation of value, and such value may never actually be realized.

7.Commitments and Contingencies
Commitments Under Existing Lease Agreements
Certain lease agreements include provisions that, at the option of the tenant, may obligate Columbia Property Trust to expend capital to expand an existing property or provide other expenditures for the benefit of the tenant. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2016, Columbia Property Trust is committed, under2017, no tenants have exercised such options that have not been materially satisfied or recorded as a recently signed lease, to contribute approximately $70.1 million toward leasehold improvements at our 222 East 41st Street property, which is expected to be paid during 2016 and 2017.liability on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.
Guaranty of Debt of Unconsolidated Joint Venture
Upon entering into the Market Square Joint Venture in October 2015, Columbia Property Trust entered into a guaranty of a $25.0 million portion of the Market Square mortgage note, the amount of which is reduced as space is leased. As a result of leasing, the guaranty has been reduced to $23.3$12.6 million as of SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2017. Columbia Property Trust believes that the likelihood of

Page 20

Table of Contents


making a payment under this guaranty is remote; therefore, no liability has been recorded related to this guaranty as of SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2017.
Litigation
Columbia Property Trust is subject to various legal proceedings, claims, and administrative proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, some of which are expected to be covered by liability insurance. Management makes assumptions and estimates concerning the likelihood and amount of any reasonably possible loss relating to these matters using the latest information available.

Page 19

Table of Contents


Columbia Property Trust records a liability for litigation if an unfavorable outcome is probable and the amount of loss or range of loss can be reasonably estimated. If an unfavorable outcome is probable and a reasonable estimate of the loss is a range, Columbia Property Trust accrues the best estimate within the range. If no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount, Columbia Property Trust accrues the minimum amount within the range. If an unfavorable outcome is probable but the amount of the loss cannot be reasonably estimated, Columbia Property Trust discloses the nature of the litigation and indicates that an estimate of the loss or range of loss cannot be made. If an unfavorable outcome is reasonably possible and the estimated loss is material, Columbia Property Trust discloses the nature and estimate of the possible loss of the litigation. Columbia Property Trust does not disclose information with respect to litigation where the possibility of an unfavorable outcome is considered to be remote. Based on current expectations, such matters, both individually and in the aggregate, are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the liquidity, results of operations, business, or financial condition of Columbia Property Trust. Columbia Property Trust is not currently involved in any legal proceedings of which management would consider the outcome to be reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the results of operations, liquidity, or financial condition of Columbia Property Trust.

At the conclusion of the three-year performance period, 75% of the shares earned will vest, and the remaining 25% vest one year later. The performance-based awards also include one- and two-year transitional awards, which will vest at the end of the respective performance periods. The awards will be expensed over the vesting period, using the estimated fair value for each award. Time-based awards will be expensed using the grant-date fair value or closing price of the award on the grant date. Performance-based awards will be expensed over the vesting period at the estimated fair value of the grant date, as determined by the Monte Carlo valuation method.

11.    Segment Information
Columbia Property Trust establishes operating segments at the property level and aggregates individual properties into reportable segments for geographic locations in which Columbia Property Trust has significant investments. Columbia Property Trust considers geographic location when evaluating its portfolio composition and in assessing the ongoing operations and performance of its properties. As of June 30, 2017, Columbia Property Trust had the following reportable segments:  New York, San Francisco, Atlanta, Washington, D.C., Boston, Los Angeles, and all other office markets. The all other office markets reportable segment consists of properties in similar, low-barrier-to-entry geographic locations in which Columbia Property Trust does not plan to make further investments. During the periods presented, there have been no material inter-segment transactions.
Net operating income ("NOI") is a non-GAAP financial measure. NOI is the primary performance measure reviewed by management to assess operating performance of properties and is calculated by deducting operating expenses from operating

revenues. Operating revenues include rental income, tenant reimbursements, hotel income, and other property income; and operating expenses include property and hotel operating costs. The NOI performance metric consists of only revenues and expenses directly related to real estate rental operations. NOI reflects property acquisitions and dispositions, occupancy levels, rental rate increases or decreases, and the recoverability of operating expenses. NOI, as Columbia Property Trust calculates it, may not be directly comparable to similarly titled, but differently calculated, measures for other REITs.
When assessing ongoing performance of our reportable segments, management does not evaluate assets or capital expenditures by reportable segment. Additionally, expenses, such as depreciation and amortization and others included in the reconciliation of GAAP net income to NOI, are reviewed by management on a consolidated basis, rather than by reportable segment.

12.     Financial Information for Parent Guarantor, Issuer Subsidiary, and Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries
The 2026 Bonds Payable and the 2025 Bonds Payable (see Note 6, Bonds Payable) were issued by Columbia Property Trust OP, and are guaranteed by Columbia Property Trust. In accordance with SEC Rule 3-10(c), Columbia Property Trust includes herein condensed consolidating financial information in lieu of separate financial statements of the subsidiary issuer (Columbia Property Trust OP), as defined in the bond indentures, because all of the following criteria are met:
(1)
The subsidiary issuer (Columbia Property Trust OP) is 100% owned by the parent company guarantor (Columbia Property Trust);
(2)The guarantee is full and unconditional; and
(3)No other subsidiary of the parent company guarantor (Columbia Property Trust) guarantees the 2026 Bonds Payable or the 2025 Bonds Payable.
Columbia Property Trust uses the equity method with respect to its investment in subsidiaries included in its condensed consolidating financial statements. We have corrected the presentation of intercompany cash transfers between the REIT Parent and its subsidiaries in the consolidating statements of cash flow. Instead of showing one amount for intercompany transfers between each entity group, intercompany transfers are broken out by cash flow type (i.e. operating, investing and financing) for all periods presented, consistent with the equity method of accounting. All such changes are eliminated in consolidation, and therefore do not impact the Company’s consolidated financial totals. Management has concluded that the effect of this correction is not material to the consolidated financial statements. This change had the following impact to the consolidating statement of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2016:  increase to operating cash flows for the parent and issuer of $3.6 million and $37.5 million, respectively; and increase (decrease) in investing cash flows of $(25.5) million, $151.5 million and $159.4 million, and increase (decrease) in financing cash flows of $21.9 million, $(189.0) million and $(159.4) million for the parent, issuer and non-guarantors, respectively. The impact to individual financial statement captions within the consolidating statement of cash flows is footnoted below.
Set forth below are Columbia Property Trust's condensed consolidating balance sheets as of SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and December 31, 20152016 (in thousands), as well as its condensed consolidating statements of operations and its condensed consolidating statements of comprehensive income for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and 20152016 (in thousands); and its condensed consolidating statements of cash flows for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and 20152016 (in thousands).

ITEM 2.MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our accompanying consolidated financial statements (and notes thereto) and the "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" preceding Part I of this report, as well as our consolidated financial statements (and the notes thereto) and Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our 20152016 Form 10-K.
Executive Summary
OurOur primary strategic objective is to generate long-term shareholder returns throughfrom a combination of steadily growing cash flows and appreciation in the values of our net asset values, with a focus onproperties, through the acquisition and ownership of high-quality office properties principally located in high-barrier-to-entry markets. Capital recycling initiativesWe typically pursue office building acquisitions that are enabling us to improvecompetitive within the top tier of their markets or that will be repositioned as such through value-add initiatives. In addition, our concentration in key marketsinvestment objectives include optimizing our portfolio allocation between stabilized investments and more growth-oriented, value-add investments, with an emphasis on central business districts as well as to reduceand multi-tenant buildings.
At the beginning of the year, we completed our exposure to single-tenant assets. During 2015near-term disposition program with the sale of the Houston and 2016,Cleveland assets for $539.5 million. Since 2011, we have sold 16more than 50 properties situated in outlying markets for approximately $1.0over $3.3 billion, and reinvested $2.3 billion of those proceeds in acquisitions in New York, andSan Francisco, Boston, and in targeted capital improvements.improvements for our existing portfolio.  We are continuing to explorecurrently focused on reinvesting the sale ofremaining proceeds into additional non-core assets and pursue additional investment opportunities inwithin our key markets,target markets:
We recently established a strategic partnership with Allianz, which will allowenable us to increase our portfolio allocationsscale in key markets on a leverage-neutral basis.  On July 6, 2017, we consummated the partnership by simultaneously selling partial interests in two of our San Francisco properties, 333 Market Street and University Circle, to central business districtsAllianz for $234.0 million, and multi-tenant buildings, and at the same time, optimize our portfolio allocation between traditional, stabilized coreby acquiring a partial interest in 114 Fifth Avenue in Manhattan from Allianz for $108.9 million. We expect to make additional joint investments and growth-oriented, value-add investments. While transitioningwith Allianz.
We are also under contract to purchase 149 Madison Avenue in New York, a 12-story, 127,000-square-foot office building, with closing expected later this year. We plan to fully redevelop this property as modern boutique office space.
Transitioning the portfolio from primarily suburban single tenant buildings to more growth-oriented, value-add properties is likely to causeprimarily multi-tenant CBD buildings has caused some dilution in earnings for a period of time,earnings; however, we believe that this transition will improve the opportunity forour growth potential over the longerlong term.
We are continuingLeasing continues to proactively manage ourbe a key area of focus, for both vacant space and upcoming lease expirations. During 2016,Through the first six months of 2017, we have leased 783,752605,000 square feet of space. space and addressed some of our most significant vacancies:
In April,San Francisco, at 650 California Street, we executed a 30-year, full building12-year, 61,000-square-foot lease of 390,000-square feet at the 222 East 41st Street propertywith WeWork in February; an eight-year, 86,000-square-foot lease with Affirm in April; and a 22,000-square-foot renewal and expansion with an existing tenant in April.
In New York, which replacesat 229 West 43rd Street, we amended Snap Inc.'s lease in February to expand its space by 26,000 square feet to a total of 121,000 square feet, and to extend the lease for the majority of the building that was scheduled to expire later this year; and in June2027.
In Atlanta, at One Glenlake, we executed a 130,000-square foot10-year, 66,000-square-foot lease in April, and an 11-year, 40,000-square-foot lease renewal and expansion in June along with several smaller leases during the second quarter to bring the building to 100% leased at the SanTan Corporate Center in Phoenix, Arizona, resulting in a slight rent roll up, with a long-time tenant occupying the entirety of one of the two buildings at the property; and a 35,000-square-foot lease at the 315 Park Avenue South Building in New York, which brought the property to 97% leased.quarter end.
We continue to supportmaintain a flexible balance sheet by maintainingwith low leverage withand an emphasis on unsecured borrowings. During 2015 and 2016, we have refinanced approximately $1.3 billionborrowings, with weighted average maturities of unsecured debt and repaid $371.5 million of mortgage loans. As a result, over this period we have extended our weighted-average debt maturity from 3.3 years to 6.35.9 years(1), decreased our weighted-average cost of borrowing from 4.24% per annum to 3.61%of 3.70%(1) per annum, and increased ouran unencumbered pool of assets as a percentage of gross real estate assets from 61.7% to 79.5%of 82%(1). Our board has adopted a stock repurchase program that authorizesallows us to purchase uptake advantage of market opportunities when our stock is undervalued from time to $200.0time. In the second quarter of 2017, we repurchased $27.5 million of our common stock through September(1.3 million shares at an average price of 2017. We believe such a program enables us to benefit from market downturns, which may cause our stock to be undervalued from time to time.$21.95 per share). To date, under our current repurchase program, we have purchasedrepurchased an aggregate of $41.3$96.5 million of common stock including $25.0 million purchased in early 2016.at an average price of $22.08.

Key Performance Indicators
Our operating results depend primarily upon the level of income generated by the leases at our properties. Occupancy and rental rates are critical drivers of our lease income. Over the last year, our quarter-end average portfolio percentage leased ranged from 90.6% at December 31, 2016 to 93.3%.95.3% at June 30, 2017. The following table sets forth details related to recent leasing activities, which drive changes in our rental revenues:

In the second quarter of 2016, we executed a new 390,000-square-foot, 30-year lease at our 222 East 41st Street property with NYU Langone Medical, which resulted in positive rent leasing spreads of 14.4%, tenant improvements of $180.10 per square foot, and leasing commissions of $44.90 per square foot.
In 2015,2017, rent leasing spreads are significantly positive (85.1% and 101.3% for the quarter and six-month period ended June 30, 2017, respectively) due to leasing 188,000 square feet at 650 California Street in San Francisco. This leasing required significant tenant improvements; however, the net economic impact of leasing at 650 California Street is favorable. In 2016, rent leasing spreads were positive and tenant improvements per square foot were higher due to a 390,000-square-foot, 30-year lease expansion and extension with the anchor tenant at our 221 Main222 East 41st Street building in San Francisco, CaliforniaProperty and a new lease for 45,000 square feet at 315 Park Avenue South in New York. For the three months ended September 30, 2016, rent leasing spreads increased, primarily due to an 11,000-square foot, 9-year130,000-square-foot lease renewal at our 650 California StreetSanTan Corporate Center property (138%).in Phoenix, Arizona. Over the next 12 months, approximately 983,000168,000 square feet of leases at our leasesoperating properties (approximately 11%3.1% of our office portfolio based on revenues) are scheduled to expire. Approximately 451,000 of this total relates to properties currently being marketed for sale. The remainder of theThese near-term expirations primarily relate to our properties in New York and San Francisco. Overall, weFrancisco, with 62,000 square feet of this space pre-leased. We currently expect to replace thesethe remaining leases with starting rates above those currently in place at the properties.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
Cash flows generated from the operation of our properties are primarily used to fund recurring expenditures and stockholder dividends. Our board of directors elected to maintain the quarterly stockholder distribution rate of $0.30 per share for the third quarter of 2016. The amount of distributions to common stockholders is determined by our board of directors and is dependent upon a number of factors, including funds deemed available for distribution based principally on our current and future projected operating cash flows, reduced by capital requirements necessary to maintain our existing portfolio. In determining the amount of distributions to common stockholders, we also consider our future capital needs and future sources of liquidity, as well as the annual distribution requirements necessary to maintain our status as a REIT under the Code. Investments in new property acquisitions and first-generation capital improvements are generally funded with capital proceeds from property sales, debt, or cash on hand. In order to adjust to a payout level consistent with our current investment objectives, beginning with the first quarter of 2017, our board of directors elected to reduce the quarterly stockholder distribution rate from $0.30 per share to $0.20 per share, and maintained

Page 3436


this rate for the second quarter of 2017. We have transformed the composition of our portfolio by selling suburban assets and reinvesting in assets in high-barrier-to-entry markets, which offer lower initial yields and higher potential for growth over time. We believe this dividend rate is sustainable over the near and medium term and offers the potential for growth over the long term.
Short-term Liquidity and Capital Resources
During the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, we generated net cash flows from operating activities of $149.7$36.0 million, which consistsconsisted primarily of receipts from tenants for rent and reimbursements, reduced by payments for operating costs, administrative expenses, and interest expense. During the same period, we paid total distributions to stockholders of $148.5$85.5 million, which includesincluded dividend payments of $37.4for three quarters ($36.7 million for the fourth quarter of 20152016 and $111.1an aggregate of $48.8 million for the first threeand second quarters of 2016.2017).
During the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, we issued the 2026 Bonds Payable, generatingsold five properties for net proceeds of $348.7$504.7 million which wereand used to prepay our $250 million 2018 Bonds Payable, originally due in April 2018, and for the related early redemption premium. The remaining bond proceeds and the net proceeds of $482.1 million from current year property dispositions were used to pay down the outstanding balance on our Revolving Credit Facility, to repay the $119.0 million remaining on the $300 Million Bridge Loan, to repay the $39.0 million SanTan Corporate Center mortgage notes, to fund $54.2the early repayment of the 221 Main Street building mortgage note for $73.0 million, of leasing and capital projects of $47.5 million, and share repurchases of $27.5 million. We intend to redeem $26.2 million ofreinvest the remaining proceeds in strategic acquisition opportunities within our common stock.  target markets.
Over the short-term, we expect our primary sources of capital to be operating cash flows select property dispositions, and future debt financings. We expect that our principal demands for funds will be operating expenses, distributions to stockholders,property acquisitions, capital improvements to our existing assets,portfolio, stock repurchases, property acquisitions,stockholder distributions, operating expenses, and interest and principal payments on current and maturing debt. We believe that we have adequate liquidity and capital resources to meet our current obligations as they come due. We used the proceeds from 80 Park Plaza disposition, which closed on September 30, 2016, to fully pay down the remaining balance on our Revolving Credit Facility after quarter end. As a result,of July 24, 2017, we have access to the full $500.0 million capacity of the Revolving Credit Facility as well as $610.0 million of October 25, 2016.cash on hand.
Long-term Liquidity and Capital Resources
Over the long term, we expect that our primary sources of capital will include operating cash flows, borrowing proceeds, and select property dispositions, and proceeds from secured or unsecured borrowings.dispositions.

As of SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, we had anno outstanding balance of $99.0 millionborrowings on the Revolving Credit Facility, which was repaid subsequent to quarter end.Facility. Amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at LIBOR, plus an applicable margin ranging from 0.875% to 1.55% for LIBOR borrowings, or an alternate base rate, plus an applicable margin ranging from 0.00% to 0.55% for base-rate borrowings, based on our applicable credit rating. The per-annum facility fee on the aggregate revolving commitment (used or unused) ranges from 0.125% to 0.30%, also based on our applicable credit rating. Additionally, we have the ability to increase the capacity of the Revolving Credit Facility, along with the $300 Million Term Loan, which provides for four accordion options for an aggregate amount of up to $400 million, subject to certain limitations.

Rental income was $87.6$67.1 million for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, which represents a decrease as compared with $107.0$93.6 million for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2015.2016. The decrease is primarily due to transferring the Market Square Buildings to a joint venture ($8.7 million); dispositions ($8.1 million); and vacancy at our 222 East 41st Street property ($5.8 million) as the full building is being prepared for NYU's Langone Medical lease to commence in the fourth quarter of 2016, partially offset by additional rental income from the acquisition of the 229 West 43rd Street Building in August 2015 ($3.226.2 million).

Hotel income, net of hotel operating costs, was $1.3$1.5 million for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2016. The Key Center Marriott was sold on January 31, 2017.
Other property income was $0.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017, which represents a decrease as compared with $1.6$9.1 million for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2015,2016, primarily due to earning an early termination fee of $6.2 million at 222 East 41st Street in June 2016. The terminated lease was replaced with a higher level of occupancy and corporate events at the hotel in the third quarter of 2015. The Key Center Marriott is under a firm sales contract, expected to closefull-building lease, which commenced in the fourth quarter of 2016.

Depreciation was $20.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017, which represents a decrease as compared with $28.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016. The decrease is primarily due to dispositions ($7.3 million). Depreciation is expected to fluctuate based on recent and future investing activity.
Amortization was $8.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017, which represents a decrease as compared with $14.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016. The decrease is primarily due to dispositions ($2.1 million) and intangibles written off due to the early termination or expiration of leases ($4.1 million). We expect future amortization to fluctuate, based on recent and future investing activity.
General and administrative expenses were $9.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017, which represents an increase as compared with $1.1$7.8 million for the three months ended September June 30, 2015,2016, primarily due to an early termination atvesting under our 222 East 41st Street propertystock-based incentive compensation plan ($0.61.1 million) and management fees earned from the Market Square Joint Venture in 2016 ($0.6 million), as described in Note 4, Unconsolidated Joint Venture. The terminated space at our 222 East 41st Street property has been relet in a full-building lease, expected to commence later in 2016. Future other property income is expected to fluctuate, primarily as a result of lease restructuring and termination activities.
Asset and property management fees were $0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016, which represents a decrease as compared with $0.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015, primarily due to transferring the Market Square Buildings to a joint venture in the fourth quarter of 2015.

Excluding the impact of additional acquisitions and dispositions, depreciation is expected to increase in future periods due to ongoing capital improvements at our existing properties.
Amortization was $11.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016, which represents a decrease as compared with$20.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015. The decrease is primarily due to dispositions ($3.6 million); the expiration of leases ($2.4 million); the early termination of the lease at our 222 East 41st Street property ($1.3 million); and transferring the Market Square Buildings to a joint venture ($1.3 million), partially offset by additional amortization from the acquisition of the 229 West 43rd Street Building in August 2015 ($0.8 million). We expect future amortization to fluctuate primarily as a result of future leasing activity, acquisitions, and dispositions.
General and administrative expenses were $7.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016, which represents an increase as compared with $6.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015, primarily due to the continued development of our regional management and investment platform. We expect future general and administrative expenses to remain at similar levels over the near-term.
For the three months ended September 30, 2015, we incurred total acquisition expenses of $1.7 million in connection with acquiring the 229 West 43rd Street Building in August 2015.

Interest income earned on development authority bonds is entirely offset by interest expense incurred on the corresponding capital leases. Interest income is expected to remain at similar levels until we reinvest cash on hand.
We recognized a loss on interest rate swapsearly extinguishment of $1.1debt of $0.1 million for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2015, related to the 333 Market Street Building mortgage note, which was repaid in June 2015. We do not anticipate gains and losses on interest rate swaps in the near-term, as our only interest rate swap is accounted for as a hedge; thus, changes in the market value are recorded to other comprehensive income.

The 2015 loss was primarily due to a prepayment premium to settle the 215 Diehl Road building mortgage note in connection with selling the property in the 11 Property Sale. We expect future gains or losses on early extinguishments of debt to fluctuate with financing activities.
We recognized a lossLoss from the unconsolidated joint venture of $1.9venture was relatively stable at $1.8 million and $2.0 million for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016, as real estate operating income from the Market Square Buildings was reduced by interest incurred on the property's $325 million mortgage note.respectively.

Other property incomeincome was $14.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, which represents an increase as compared with$4.4$1.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, primarily due to an early termination at our 222 East 41st Street property ($6.2 million) and management fees earned from the Market Square Joint Venture in 2016 ($1.9 million), as described in Note 4, Unconsolidated Joint Venture. The terminated space has been relet in a full-building lease expected to commence later in 2016. Future other property income is expected to fluctuate, primarily as a result of lease restructuring and termination activities.
Asset and property management fees were $1.1 million for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, which represents a decrease as compared with $1.4$11.7 million for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2015,2016, primarily due to transferring the Market Square Buildings toearning an early termination fee of $6.2 million at 222 East 41st Street in June 2016 and $2.8 million for other lease terminations. The terminated lease at 222 East 41st Street was replaced with a joint venturefull-building lease, which commenced in the fourth quarter of 2015. Future asset and2016. Other property management fees areoperating income is expected to fluctuate within the future acquisitionbased on additional lease restructuring activities, and disposition activity.
Depreciation was $84.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, which represents a decrease as compared with $100.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, primarily due to dispositions ($12.8 million) and transferring the Market Square Buildings to a joint venture ($10.6 million), partially offset by additional depreciation from the acquisition of the 229 West 43rd Street Building in August 2015 ($5.4 million). Excluding the impact of additional acquisitions and dispositions, depreciation is expected to increase in future periods due to ongoing capital improvements at our existing properties.
Amortization was $42.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, which represents a decrease as compared with $67.2 million for the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2015. The decrease is primarily due to dispositions ($13.5 million); the expiration of leases ($8.1 million); and transferring the Market Square Buildings to a joint venture ($5.6 million); partially offset by additional amortization from the acquisition of the 229 West 43rd Street Building in August 2015 ($3.5 million). We expect future amortization to fluctuate primarily as a result of future leasing activity, acquisitions, and dispositions.
General and administrative expenses were $25.7 million forproviding asset management services to the nine months ended September 30, 2016, which represents an increase as compared with $21.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The increase is due to costs incurred to develop our regional management and investment platform ($3.1 million) and bad debt expenses ($0.5 million). We expect future general and administrative expenses to remain stable over the near-term.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we incurred total acquisition expenses of $3.7 million in connection with acquiring three properties in January 2015 and the 229 West 43rd Street Building in August 2015. SeeSan Francisco Joint Ventures (see Note 3, Real Estate Transactions, of the accompanying financial statements for details of these acquisitions. We expect future acquisition expenses to fluctuate with acquisition activity.statements).
Interest expense was $52.4Asset and property management fees were $0.5 million for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, which represents a decrease as compared with $66.3$0.7 million and June 30, 2016, due to dispositions ($0.2 million). Future asset and property management fees are expected to remain stable in the near-term and may increase as a result of future investing activity.
Depreciation was $42.0 million for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2015,2017, which represents a decrease as compared with $57.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The decrease is primarily due to transferringdispositions ($15.5 million). Depreciation is expected to fluctuate based on recent and future investing activity.
Amortization was $17.6 million for the Market Squaresix months ended June 30, 2017, which represents a decrease as compared with $31.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The decrease is primarily due to dispositions ($5.9 million) and intangibles written off due to the early termination or expiration of leases ($6.6 million). We expect future amortization to fluctuate based on recent and future investing activity.
General and administrative expenses remained relatively stable at $18.0 million and $18.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016, respectively. We expect future general and administrative expenses to remain at similar levels over the near term.
Interest expense was $29.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017, which represents a decrease as compared with $35.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016, primarily due to incurring interest on bridge loan and line of credit borrowings in the prior period ($2.5 million), mortgage note to a joint venturepayoffs ($12.4 million) and repaying mortgage loans ($4.72.1 million), partially offset by the net impact ofand bond interest savings resulting from the issuance of bonds in March 2015the 2026 Bonds Payable and August 2016redemption of the 2018 Bonds Payable ($3.51.0 million). We expect interest expense to continue to decrease slightly in the near-term as disposition proceeds are usednear term due to reduce borrowingsthe $150 Million Term Loan amendment, which results in a lower effective interest rate, and to fluctuate based on our Revolving Credit Facility.future acquisition activities.
Interest and other income was stable at $5.5 million and $5.4$4.8 million for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

The increase is due to interest income is expected to remain at comparable levels in future periods, as theearned on cash deposits ($1.1 million). The majority of this income is earned on investments in development authority bonds with a remaining term of approximately 5.3approximately 4.5 years as of SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2017 ($3.6 million for both the six months ended June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016). Interest income earned on development authority bonds is entirely offset by interest expense incurred on the correspondingcorresponding capital leases.
We recognized a loss Interest income is expected to remain at similar levels until we reinvest cash on interest rate swaps of $1.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, related to the 333 Market Street Building mortgage note, which was repaid in June 2015. We do not anticipate gains and losses on interest rate swaps in the near-term, as our only interest rate swap is accounted for as a hedge; thus, changes in the market value are recorded to other comprehensive income.hand.
We recognized a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $19.0 millionof $45,000 and $3.1 million$92,000 for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016, and 2015, respectively. In March 2017, we repaid the 221 Main Street building mortgage note approximately two months early; and in April 2016, we repaid the $119.0 million remaining balance on a bridge loan used to finance a portion of the acquisition of the 229 West 43rd Street Building approximately three months early, and in September 2016, we repaid our 2018 Bonds Payable 1.6 years early, using proceeds from the 2026 Bonds Payable. In March 2015, we repaid a bridge loan used to finance acquisitions in Januaryearly. Both of 2015 approximately four months early. The bond pay off in 2016 resulted in an early redemption premium of $17.9 million, and all of thethese early repayments resulted in the write-off of related deferred financing costs. We expect future gains or losses on early extinguishments of debt to fluctuate with financing activities.
We recognized a loss from the unconsolidated joint ventureventure of $5.4$3.7 million and $3.5 million for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016, as real estate operating income from the Market Square Buildings was reduced by interest incurred on the property's $325 million mortgage note.respectively. Future income or loss from unconsolidated joint venture willmay fluctuate with operating activityas a result of future investing activities and leasing at the Market Square Buildings.
We recognized a gain on sale of real estate assets of $73.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017, and a loss on sale of real estate assets of $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016. During the first three months of 2017, we sold three properties in Houston, Texas, and the Key Center Tower and Marriott in Cleveland, Ohio. The loss in 2016 results from post-closing adjustments and true ups for prior period transactions. See Note 3, Real Estate Transactions, for details of these transactions. Future gains on sale of real estate assets will fluctuate with future disposition activity.
Net income was $75.9 million, or $0.62 per basic and diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2017, which represents an increase as compared with $20.0 million, or $0.16 per basic and diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The increase is due to gains on sale of real estate ($73.2 million) and interest savings as a result of debt repayments ($5.6 million), partially offset by lost income from sold properties ($20.8 million) and lease termination income earned in June 2016 ($6.2 million). See the "Supplemental Performance Measures" section below for our same-store results compared with the prior year. We expect future earnings to fluctuate as a result of leasing activity at our existing properties and investing activity.

NOI is expected to increase as compared with $34.5 million, or $0.28 per basic and diluted share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The increase isprimarily due to additional year-over-year gains on sales of real estate ($29.9 million), partially offset by an net increase in interest expense andrecent leasing activity at 80 M Street.

Supplemental Performance Measures
In addition to net income, we measure the performance of the company using certain non-GAAP supplemental performance measures, including: (i) Funds From Operations ("FFO"), (ii) Net Operating Income ("NOI"), and (iii) Same Store Net Operating Income ("Same Store NOI"). These non-GAAP metrics are commonly used by industry analysts and investors as supplemental operation performance measures of REITs and are viewed by management to be useful indicators of operating performance. Historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values instead have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry analysts and investors have considered presentation of operating results for real estate companies using historical cost accounting alone to be insufficient. Management believes that the use of FFO, NOI, and Same Store NOI, combined with net income, improves the understanding of operating results of REITs among the investing public and makes comparisons of REIT operating results more meaningful.
Net income is the most comparable GAAP measure to FFO, NOI, and Same Store NOI. Each of these supplemental performance measures exclude expenses that materially impact our overall results of operations and, therefore, should not be considered as a

substitute for net income, income before income taxes, or any other measures derived in accordance with GAAP. Furthermore, these metrics may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies.
Funds From Operations
FFO is a non-GAAP measure used by many investors and analysts who follow the real estate industry to measure the performance of an equity REIT. We consider FFO a useful measure of our performance because it principally adjusts for the effects of GAAP depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, which assumes that the value of real estate diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, we believe that FFO provides a meaningful supplemental measure of our performance. We believe that the use of FFO, combined with the required GAAP presentations, is beneficial in improving our investors' understanding of our operating results and allowing for comparisons among other companies who define FFO as we do.
FFO, as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT"), represents net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (losses)or losses on sales of real estate and impairments of real estate assets, plus real estate-related depreciation and amortization and, after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures, for both continuing and discontinued operations. We compute FFO in accordance with NAREIT's definition, which may differ from the methodology for calculating FFO, or similarly titled measures, used by other companies, and this may not be comparable to those presentations.
FFO doesis not representreduced for the amounts available for management's discretionary use because of needed to fund capital replacementreplacements or expansion,expansions, debt service obligations, or other commitments and uncertainties, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to make distributions. Our presentation of FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income (computed in accordance with GAAP) or as an indicator of financial performance.

Net Operating Income
As set forth below, NOI is calculated by deducting property operating costs from rental and other property revenues for continuing operations. As a performance metric consisting of only revenues and expenses directly related to ongoing real estate rental operations, which have been or will be settled in cash, NOI is narrower in scope than FFO.
NOI, as we calculate it, may not be directly comparable to similarly titled, but differently calculated, measures for other REITs. We believe that NOI is another useful supplemental performance measure, as it is an input in many REIT valuation models, and it provides a means by which to evaluate the performance of the properties.
The major factors influencing our NOI are property acquisitions and dispositions, occupancy levels, rental rate increases or decreases, and the recoverability of operating expenses.

Same Store Net Operating Income
We also evaluate the performance of our properties, on a "same store" basis, using a metric referred to as Same Store NOI. We view Same Store NOI as a useful supplemental performance measure because it improves comparability between periods by eliminating the near-term effects of changes in the composition of our portfolio.acquisitions and dispositions. On an individual property basis, Same Store NOI is computed in a consistentthe same manner as NOI.NOI (as described in the preceding section). For the periods presented, we have defined our same storesame-store portfolio as those properties that have been continuously owned and operatingoperated since JulyApril 1, 2015.2016 (the first day of the first period presented).

Same store NOI decreased for the three months ended June 30, 2017, as compared with the three months ended June 30, 2016, due to a $6.2 million early termination fee earned at 222 East 41st Street in June 2016, and lease expirations at 315 Park Avenue South and 80 M Street. The terminated lease at 222 East 41st Street has been replaced with a full-building lease, which commenced in the fourth quarter of 2016, and most of the expired space at 80 M Street has been leased to WeWork, with a lease commencing in July 2017. The decline in same store NOI is expected to reverse and increase as a result of recent leasing activity.

Election as a REIT
We have elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Code and have operated as such beginning with our taxable year ended December 31, 2003. To qualify as a REIT, we must meet certain organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement to distribute at least 90% of our adjusted taxable income, as defined in the Code, to our stockholders, computed without regard to the dividends-paid deduction and by excluding our net capital gain. As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to federal income tax on income that we distribute to our stockholders. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will then be subject to federal income taxes on our taxable income for that year and for the four years following the year during which qualification is lost, unless the Internal Revenue Service grants us relief under certain statutory provisions. Such an event could materially affect our net income and net cash available for distribution to our stockholders. However, we believe that we are organized and operate in such a manner as to qualify for treatment as a REIT for federal income tax purposes.
The TRS Entities are wholly owned subsidiaries of Columbia Property Trust and are organized as Delaware limited liability companies, and operate,companies. The TRS Entities, among other things, office propertiesprovide tenant services that we do not intend to hold long term andColumbia Property Trust, as a full-service hotel.REIT, cannot otherwise provide. We have elected to treat the TRS Entities as taxable REIT subsidiaries. We may perform certain additional, noncustomary services for tenants of our buildings through the TRS Entities; however, any earnings related to such services are subject to federal and state income taxes. In addition, for us to continue to qualify as a REIT, we must limit our investments in taxable REIT subsidiaries to 25% of the value of our total assets. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are established for temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of assets and liabilities at the enacted rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences reverse.
No provisions for federal income taxes have been made in our accompanying consolidated financial statements, other than the provisions relating to the TRS Entities, as we made distributions in excess of taxable income for the periods presented. We are

subject to certain state and local taxes related to property operations in certain locations, which have been provided for in our accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Page 45


Inflation
We are exposed to inflation risk, as income from long-term leases is the primary source of our cash flows from operations. There are provisions in the majority of our tenant leases that are intended to protect us from, and mitigate the risk of, the impact of inflation. These provisions include rent steps, reimbursement billings for operating expense pass-through charges, real estate tax and insurance reimbursements on a per-square-foot basis, or, in some cases, annual reimbursement of operating expenses above a certain per-square-foot allowance. However, due to the long-term nature of the leases, the leases may not reset frequently enough to fully cover inflation.
Application of Critical Accounting Policies
There have been no material changes in our critical accounting policies from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.2016.
Related-Party Transactions
During the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and 2015,2016, we did not have any related party transactions, except as described in Note 4, Unconsolidated Joint Venture, of the accompanying financial statements.
Commitments and Contingencies
We are subject to certain commitments and contingencies with regard to certain transactions. Refer to Note 7, Commitments and Contingencies, of our accompanying consolidated financial statements for further explanation. Examples of such commitments and contingencies include:
structural repairs at one of our properties with estimated costs, net of recoveries, ranging from $15.0 million to $20.0 million;
guaranty of debt of an unconsolidated joint venture of $23.3$12.6 million;
obligations under operating leases;
obligations under capital leases;
commitments under existing lease agreements, including a commitment for $70.1 million in leasehold improvements related to a recently executed lease, which is expected to be paid during 2016 and 2017;agreements; and
litigation.
Subsequent Event
We have evaluated subsequent events in connection with the preparation of itsthe consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in this report on Form 10-Q and noted the following item in addition to those disclosed elsewhere in this report:
Property Disposition
During October 2016, we closed on the sale of the 9127 South Jamaica Street building in Denver, Colorado,Allianz Joint Ventures as described in Note 3, Real Estate Transactions,of the accompanying consolidated financial statements.statements; and
Amendment of $150 Million Term Loan, as described in Note 5, Line of Credit and Notes Payable,of the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
ITEM 3.QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
As a result of certain of our debt facilities, we are exposed to interest rate changes. Our interest rate risk management objectives are to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flow, primarily through a low to moderate level of overall borrowings. However, we currently have a substantial amount of debt outstanding. We manage our ratio of fixed- to floating-rate debt with the objective of achieving a mix that we believe is appropriate in light of anticipated changes. We closely monitor interest rates and will continue to consider the sources and terms of our borrowing facilities to determine whether we have appropriately guarded ourselves against the risk of increasing interest rates in future periods.
Additionally, we have entered into interest rate swaps and may enter into other interest rate swaps, caps, or other arrangements to mitigate our interest rate risk on a related financial instrument. We do not currently enter into derivative or interest rate transactions for speculative purposes; however, certain of our derivatives may not qualify for hedge accounting treatment. All of our debt was entered into for other-than-trading purposes.

Our financial instruments consist of both fixed-rate and variable-rate debt. Our variable-rate borrowings consist of the Revolving Credit Facility, the $300 Million Term Loan, and the $150 Million Term Loan. However, only the Revolving Credit Facility and the $300 Million Term Loan bear interest at effectively variable rates, as the variable rate on the $150 Million Term Loan has been effectively fixed through the interest rate swap agreement described in the "Liquidity and Capital Resources" section of Item 2, Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

As of SeptemberJune 30, 20162017, we had $99.0 million ofno outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility, which was fully repaid on October 3, 2016, using a portion of the proceeds from the September 30, 2016 sale of the 80 Park Plaza building;Facility; $150.0 million outstanding on the $150 Million Term Loan; $300.0 million outstanding on the $300 Million Term Loan; $349.6 million in 2025 Bonds Payable outstanding; $348.7$348.8 million in 2026 Bonds Payable outstanding; and $276.0$198.8 million outstanding on fixed-rate, term mortgage loans. The weighted-average interest rate of all of our debt instruments was 3.42%3.57% as of SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2017.
Approximately $1,124.3$1,047.2 million of our total debt outstanding as of SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, is subject to fixed rates, either directly or when coupled with an interest rate swap agreement. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, these balances incurred interest expense at an average interest rate of 3.94%3.93% and have expirations ranging from 2017 through 2026. A change in the market interest rate impacts the net financial instrument position of our fixed-rate debt portfolio; however, it has no impact on interest incurred or cash flows. A 1.0% change in interest rates would have a $3.0 million annual impact on our interest payments. The amounts outstanding on our Revolving Credit Facility in the future will largely depend upon future acquisition and disposition activity.
Our unconsolidated Market Square Joint Venture holds a $325 million mortgage note, which bears interest at 5.07%. Adjusting for 51% of the debt at the Market Square Joint Venture, in which we own a 51% interest,through an unconsolidated joint venture, our weighted-average interest rate is 3.58%3.74%.
We do not believe there is any exposure to increases in interest rates related to the capital lease obligations of $120.0 million at SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, as the obligations are at fixed interest rates.
ITEM 4.CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Management's Conclusions Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

On July 25, 2017, we amended the terms of the $150 Million Term Loan to reduce the current interest rate from 3.52% to 3.07% per annum. The amendment reduced the interest rate from LIBOR, plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.40% to 2.35%, to LIBOR, plus an applicable margin ranging from 0.90% to 1.75%. The maturity date, debt covenants, and other terms of the $150 Million Term Loan are unchanged. The new interest rate of 3.07% per annum is effectively fixed by an existing interest rate swap agreement designated as a cash flow hedge.

(b)There are no material changes to the procedures by which stockholders may recommend nominees to our board of directors since the filing of our most recent Schedule 14A.
