CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements contained in this Quarterly Reportquarterly 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 statementsconstitute "forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (set forth in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. We intend1934). Columbia Property Trust intends for all such forward-looking statements presented in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q ("Form 10-Q"), or that management may make orally or in writing from time to time, to be covered by the applicable safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in those acts.
Such statements in this current Form 10-Q include, in particular, statementsamong other things, information about possible or assumed future results of the business and our financial condition, liquidity, results of operations, 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.objectives. 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. As forward-looking statements, these statements 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. These risks, uncertainties, and other factors include, without limitation:
risks affecting the real estate industry, and the office sector in particular, (such as the inability to enter into new leases, dependence on tenants' financial condition, and competition from other owners of real estate);
risks relating to our ability to maintain and increase property occupancy rates and rental rates;
adverse economic or real estate market developments in our target markets;
risks relating to the use of debt to fund acquisitions;
availability and terms of financing;
ability to refinance indebtedness as it comes due;
sensitivity of our operations and financing arrangements to fluctuations in interest rates;
reductions in asset valuations and related impairment charges;
risks relating to construction, development, and redevelopment activities;
risks associated with joint ventures, including disagreements with, or misconduct by, joint venture partners;
risks relating to repositioning our portfolio;
risks relating to reduced demand for, or over supply of, office space in our markets;
risks relating to lease terminations, lease defaults, or changes in the financial condition of our tenants, particularly by a significant tenant;
risks relating to acquisition and disposition activities;
risks associated with the ability to consummate the proposed transactions with Normandy Real Estate Management ("Normandy"), and the timing of the closing of the proposed transactions with Normandy;
the ability to successfully integrate our operations and employees in connection with the proposed transaction with Normandy;
the ability to realize anticipated benefits and synergies of the proposed transactions with Normandy;
the amount of the costs, fees, expenses, and charges related to the proposed transactions with Normandy;
risks associated with our ability to continue to qualify as a real estate investment trust ("REIT");
risks associated with possible cybersecurity attacks against us or any of our tenants;
potential liability for uninsured losses and environmental contamination;
potential adverse impact of market interest rates on the market price for our securities; and
risks associated with our dependence on key personnel whose continued service is not guaranteed.
For further discussion of these and additional risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ from expectation, see Item 1A, Risk Factors, in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 and Part II, Item 1A – Risk Factors, in this Quarterly Report. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, we can give no assurances that our expectations will be achieved. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date this reportForm 10-Q 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,statement, 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, 2016 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.

2.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

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 the 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. For additional information on ourColumbia Property Trust's unconsolidated joint ventures, which are accounted for using the equity method of accounting, see Note 4, Unconsolidated Joint Ventures. 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 wasis 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.

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 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.

Real Estate Assets
Columbia Property Trust is required to make subjective assessments as to the useful lives of its depreciable assets. To determine the appropriate useful life of an asset, Columbia Property Trust considers the period of future benefit of the asset. These assessments have a direct impact on net income. The estimated useful lives of its assets by class are as follows:
Buildings40-4540 years
Building and site improvements5-25 years
Tenant improvementsShorter of economic life or lease term
Intangible lease assetsLease term
As further described in Note 5, Line of Credit and Notes Payable, Columbia Property Trust capitalizes interest incurred on outstanding debt balances as well as joint venture investments, as appropriate, during development or redevelopment of real estate held directly or in unconsolidated joint ventures. During the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, $0.9 million and $1.0 million of interest was capitalized to construction in progress, respectively; and during both the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, $2.9 million of interest was capitalized to construction in progress. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, $0.3 million and $0.9 million, respectively, were capitalized to investments in unconsolidated joint ventures. NaN interest was capitalized to investments in unconsolidated joint ventures during the nine months ended September 30, 2018.
Assets Held for Sale
Columbia Property Trust classifies properties as held for sale according to Accounting Standard Codification 360, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets ("ASC 360"). According to ASC 360, properties having separately identifiable operations and cash flows are considered held for sale when all of 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.
None of Columbia Property Trust's properties met the criteria to be classified as held for sale in the accompanying balance sheets as of September 30, 2019 or December 31, 2018.
Evaluating the Recoverability of Real Estate Assets
Columbia Property Trust continually monitors events and changes in circumstances that could indicate that the net carrying amounts of its real estate and related intangible assets and liabilities, of both operating properties and properties under construction,development or redevelopment, may not be recoverable. When indicators of potential impairment are present that suggest that the net carrying amounts of real estate assets and related intangible assets and liabilities may not be recoverable, Columbia Property Trust assesses the recoverability of these net 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 net 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 valuevalues 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. At such time that a property is required to be classified as held for sale, its net 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.
Estimated fair values are calculated based on the following hierarchy of information, depending upon availability:information: (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 an amount that exceeds that which could be realized in a current disposition transaction. Based on the assessment as described above, Columbia Property Trust has determined that the carrying values of all its real estate assets and related intangible assets are recoverable as of September 30, 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. Due to the inherent subjectivity of the assumptions used to project future cash flows, estimated fair values may differ from the values that would be realized in market transactions.
Assets Held for Sale
Certain of Columbia Property Trust's assets may be carried at an amount that exceeds that which could be realized in a current disposition transaction. Columbia Property Trust classifies propertieshas determined that the carrying values of its real estate assets and related intangible assets are recoverable as heldof September 30, 2019.

In the third quarter of 2019, Columbia Property Trust recognized an impairment loss of $23.4 million as a result of changing its holding period expectations for sale according to Accounting Standard Codification 360, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets ("ASC 360"). According to ASC 360, properties, 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 toLindbergh Center in Atlanta, Georgia. Columbia Property Trust entered a plancontract to sell Lindbergh Center in the property.
The property is available for immediatethird quarter of 2019, and closed the sale in its present condition subject onlyon September 26, 2019. As a result, Columbia Property Trust reduced the carrying value of Lindbergh Center 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 orreflect its estimated fair value, less costsbased on the estimated net sale proceeds of $181.0 million (Level 1), by recording an impairment loss of $23.4 million in the third quarter of 2019.
In the second quarter of 2018, Columbia Property Trust recognized an impairment loss of $30.8 million in connection with changing the holding period expectations for 222 East 41st Street in New York. Columbia Property Trust widely marketed this property for sale during the second quarter and, as a result, entered into an agreement to sell this property on May 25, 2018 and depreciation is no longer recognized; and assets and liabilities are required to be classified as held forclosed on the sale on May 29, 2018. Upon entering into the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. As of September 30, 2017, none ofsale agreement, Columbia Property Trust's properties metTrust reduced 222 East 41st Street's carrying value to reflect its fair value, estimated based on the criteria to be classified as held for salenet contract price of $284.6 million (Level 1), by recording an impairment loss of $30.8 million in the accompanying balance sheet. Assecond quarter of December 31, 2016, Key Center Tower, Key Center Marriott, 5 Houston Center, Energy Center I, and 515 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

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;purposes and currently does not have any derivatives that are not designated as hedges; however, certain of its derivatives may, at times, not qualify for hedge accounting treatment. Columbia Property Trust records the fair value of its interest rate swaps on its consolidated balance sheet 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(loss). Changes in the fair value of interest rate swaps that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment are recorded as gain 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 or loss on interest rate swaps for contracts that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment. As of September 30, 2019, Columbia Property Trust has 2 interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional value of $450.0 million.

Prepaid Expenses and Other Assets
Prepaid expenses are recognized over the period to which the good or service relates. Other assets are written off when the asset no longer has future value, or when the company is no longer obligated for the corresponding liability. As of September 30, 2017, prepaid expenses and other assets included $52.0 million of earnest money deposits for acquisitions, of which $40.0 million was applied to the purchase prices for transactions that closed in October 2017. See Note 3, Real Estate Transactions, for additional detail.
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,To the extent that Columbia Property Trust generally is notsatisfies the distribution requirement
13


but distributes less than 100% of its REIT taxable income, Columbia Property Trust would be subject to federal and state corporate income tax on income it distributes to stockholders.the undistributed income. Generally, 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.paragraph, because its stockholder distributions typically exceed its taxable income due to noncash expenses such as depreciation. 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 KCP TRS, LLC, and Columbia EnergyKCP TRS, LLC (collectively, the "TRS Entities") are wholly owned subsidiaries of Columbia Property Trust and are organized as Delaware limited-liabilitylimited liability companies. The TRS

Page 14


Entities, among other things, provide tenant services that Columbia Property Trust, as a 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%20% of the value of the total assets. The TRS Entities' deferred tax assets and liabilities represent temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of assets and liabilities based on the enacted rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences reverse. If applicable, Columbia Property Trust records interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as general and administrative expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
Reclassification
Certain prior period amounts may be reclassified to conform toIn connection with adopting Accounting Standard Codification 842, Leases ("ASC 842"), effective January 1, 2019, rental income and tenant reimbursements have been combined into the current-period financial statement presentation. Withinlease revenues line on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations management fees earned from unconsolidated joint ventures have been reclassified from other property income to a dedicated line item, asset and property management fee income, for all periods presented. See Recent Accounting Pronouncements below for additional details. In accordance with Accounting Standard Codification 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment ("ASC 360"), and in response to the Securities and Exchange Commission's Disclosure Update and Simplification release effective November 5, 2018, gains on sales of real estate assets have been moved to other income (expense) on the consolidated statements of operations for all periods presented.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued Accounting Standard Update 2017-12, Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities ("ASU 2017-12"). ASU 2017-12 aligns reporting requirements for hedging relationships with risk management activities and simplifies the application of hedge accounting. ASU 2017-12 eliminates the concept of recognizing periodic hedge ineffectiveness for cash flow hedges and allows for ongoing qualitative, rather than quantitative, testing of hedge effectiveness. ASU 2017-12 will be effective forEffective January 1, 2019, Columbia Property Trust on January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted. Columbia Property Trust anticipates that the adoption of ASU 2017-12 will result in a simplified process to determine the ongoing effectiveness of its cash flow hedge with no material impact on its consolidated financial statements or other disclosures.
In February 2017, 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 2017-05"), which will apply to the partial sale of non-financial assets, including real estate assets, to unconsolidated joint ventures. ASU 2017-05 will require Columbia Property Trust to measure its residual joint venture interest in the properties transferred to unconsolidated joint ventures at fair value as of the transaction date by recognizing a gain or loss on 100% of the asset transferred (i.e. to fully step-up the basis of our residual investment in the joint venture). This ASU will apply to Columbia Property Trust's partial sales of the following real estate assets: Market Square, 333 Market Street, and University Circle. We expect to implement ASU 2017-05 effective January 1, 2018 using the modified-retrospective approach by recording a cumulative-effect adjustment to equity, and are in the process of evaluating the impact to the financial statements.
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 treatment of acquisitions. As a result, under the new standard, many acquisitions that previously qualified as business combinations will be treated as asset acquisitions. For asset acquisitions, unlike business combinations, transaction costs may be capitalized, and purchase price may be allocated on a relative fair-value basis. Columbia Property Trust expects the adoption of ASU 2017-01 to simplify purchase price allocations for future acquisitions. ASU 2017-01 is effective for Columbia Property Trust prospectively on January 1, 2018, with early adoption permitted. Columbia Property Trust plans to adopt ASU 2017-01 in the fourth quarter of 2017, in connection with the acquisition of 245-249 West 17th Street and 218 West 18th Street.
In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update2016-02, Leases ("ASU 2016-02"),adopted ASC 842, 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, includingrules with the classification of lease components and nonlease components, such as services provided to tenants. The new standard will require lesseesfollowing key changes:
Lessees are required to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term of greater than 12 months, and to 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, or not. This classification will determine whether the lease expense is recognized based on anusing the 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
Lessors are required to account for leases using an approach that is substantially equivalentsimilar to existing guidance as applies tothe pre-existing rules for operating leases, sales-type leases, and direct financing leases, with a few targeted changes, including that: (i) lessors are no longer permitted to capitalize and amortize initial indirect costs incurred to obtain a lease, and (ii) provisions for uncollectible tenant receivables are reflected as a reduction to lease revenues, instead of as general and administrative expense.
In connection with transitioning to ASC 842, Columbia Property Trust elected to use certain practical expedients which impact Columbia Property Trust as follows:
Prospective implementation. In-place contracts retain their character as to whether they meet the definition of a lease or not; in-place leases retain their classification as an operating, leases. sales-type, or direct financing lease; and prior-period accounting and presentation is unchanged.
Rental income and tenant reimbursements for operating leases are combined in a single line on the statements of operations for all periods presented.
Leases with a term of 12 months or less are expensed as incurred, as provided for in a practical expedient elected by Columbia Property Trust.
See Note 10, Leases, for additional information.
Accounting Standard Update 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement: Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement ("ASU 2016-022018-13"), which will be effective for Columbia Property Trust on January 1, 2019 and supersedes previous leasing standards. Once effective,2020, expands the disclosure requirements related to a change in fair value technique hierarchy. ASU 2018-13 is not expected to have a material impact on Columbia Property Trust's consolidated financial statements or disclosures.

Columbia Property Trust anticipates separating lease components from nonlease components, which will be evaluated under ASU 2014-09, as described below.3.  Real Estate Transactions
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 revenues 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, such as 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. Columbia Property Trust expects that the new standard to apply primarily to fees earned from managing properties owned by its unconsolidated joint ventures. Given the structure of the asset and property management agreements currently in place with our unconsolidated joint ventures, we do not expect the ASU to materially impact the timing or amount of our revenues; however, we will be required to provide more extensive disclosures about our revenue streams and contracts with customers. ASU 2014-09 is effective for Columbia Property Trust on January 1, 2018, with early adoption permitted.

Upon the earlier of July 6, 2018, or when Columbia Property Trust and Allianz jointly invest $600.0 million in additional assets acquisitions (excluding 114 Fifth Avenue), Allianz will acquire from Columbia Property Trust an additional 22.5% interest in each of the University Circle Joint Venture and the 333 Market Street Joint Venture, thereby reducing Columbia Property Trust's equity interest in each joint venture to 55.0%.

(2)Columbia Property Trust capitalized interest of $0.9 million on its investment in the 799 Broadway Joint Venture during the nine months ended September 30, 2019.
Columbia Property Trust has determined that NaN of its unconsolidated joint ventures are variable interest entities. However, Columbia Property Trust and its partners have substantive participation rights in the joint ventures, including management selection and termination, and the approval of operating and capital decisions. As such, Columbia Property Trust uses the equity method of accounting to record its investment in these joint ventures. Under the equity method, the investment in the joint venture is recorded at cost and adjusted for cash contributions and distributions, and allocations of income or loss.
Columbia Property Trust evaluates the recoverability of its investmentinvestments in unconsolidated joint ventures in accordance with accounting standards for equity investments by first reviewing the investment for any indicators of impairment. If indicators are present, Columbia Property Trust estimates the fair value of the investment. If the carrying value of the investment is greater than the estimated fair value, management makes an assessment of whether the impairmentdeficit is "temporary" or "other-than-temporary."other-than-temporary," and if other-than-temporary, reduces the carrying value to reflect the estimated fair value by recording an impairment loss. In making this assessment, management considers the following: (1) the length of time and the extent to which fair value has been less than cost and (2) Columbia Property Trust's intent and ability to retain its interest long enough for a recovery in market value. Based on the assessment asanalysis described above, Columbia Property Trust has determined that none of its investments in joint ventures are other than temporarily impaired as of September 30, 2017.2019.

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. 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.

10.  Leases
Columbia Property Trust as Lessee
Columbia Property Trust is a lessee on ground leases at certain of its investment properties, office space leases, and various information technology equipment leases. Operating lease assets represent Columbia Property Trust's right to use the underlying asset over the lease term, and operating lease liabilities represent Columbia Property Trust's obligation to make lease payments over the lease term. Operating lease liabilities are measured as the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of Columbia Property Trust's leases do not provide an implicit rate, Columbia Property Trust uses its incremental borrowing rate, based on information available at commencement, to calculate the present value of lease payments. Lease term extensions are included in the operating lease liability when it is reasonably certain that they will be exercised. Any variable payments for non-lease services provided under leases are expensed as incurred. Operating lease assets are measured based on the corresponding operating lease liability amount, reduced for lease incentives. At adoption of ASC 842, straight-line rent payable (receivable) balances and intangible lease asset (liability) balances were reclassified to the corresponding right of use assets. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term, and is recorded as property operating costs for ground leases and as general and administrative – corporate for all other operating leases. Contracts are evaluated at commencement to determine if the contract contains a lease, and the appropriate classification for such leases.
10.As of September 30, 2019, Columbia Property Trust has 1 ground lease with a remaining lease term of 58.3 years, inclusive of renewal options, which is included in operating lease assets of $29.7 million. Payments for all future periods under this ground lease have already been made. Thus, as of September 30, 2019, operating lease liabilities of $2.3 million include only the present value of future payments due under an office lease, which has a remaining lease term of three years, inclusive of renewal options. There were two ground leases associated with Lindbergh Center, which was sold in September 2019.

Columbia Property Trust as Lessor
Columbia Property Trust owns and leases commercial real estate, primarily office space, to tenants under operating leases for specified periods of time. Some of Columbia Property Trust's leases contain extension and/or termination options; however, the exercise of these extensions or terminations is at the discretion of the tenant and subject to negotiations. Therefore, such options are only recognized once they are deemed reasonably certain, typically at the time the option is exercised. Rental income related to such leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the remaining lease period, and is included in lease revenues on the consolidated statements of operations. If at any point during the term of a lease, it is determined that the collectability of a tenant receivable is not probable, such receivable is written off against lease revenues. Contracts are evaluated at commencement to determine if the contract contains a lease, as defined under ASC 842, and the appropriate classification for such leases. As of September 30, 2019, the weighted-average remaining term for such leases is approximately 7.0 years.
Lease revenues include fixed and variable payments. Fixed payments primarily relate to base rent and include payments related to lease terminations; and variable payments primarily relate to tenant reimbursements for certain property operating costs. Fixed and variable payments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 are as follows (in thousands):

11.13. Segment Information
Columbia Property Trust establishes operating segments at the property level and aggregates individual properties into reportable segments for high-barrier-to-entry markets and other 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

Page 24



of its properties. As of September 30, 2017,2019, Columbia Property Trust had the following reportable segments:  New York, San Francisco, Atlanta, Washington, D.C., Atlanta, 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 have a substantial presence and does not plan to make further investments. During the periods presented, there have been no material inter-segmentintersegment 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,lease revenues and other property income; and operating expenses include property and hotel operating costs. The NOI performance metric consists only 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 orAsset information and capital expenditures by reportable segment. Additionally, expenses, such as depreciationsegment are not reported because Columbia Property Trust does not use these measures to assess performance. Depreciation and amortization expense, along with other expense and others included in the reconciliationincome items, are not allocated among segments.

12.14.  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);
(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.
(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 Columbia Property Trust's consolidated financial statement 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 condensed consolidating statement of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2016:  increase to operating cash flows for the parent and issuer of $33.2 million and $102.4 million, respectively; and increase (decrease) in investing cash flows for the parent, issuer, and non-guarantors of $(172.8) million, $464.2 million and $482.1 million, respectively; and increase (decrease) in financing cash flows for the parent, issuer, and non-guarantors of $139.6 million, $(566.6) million and $(482.1) million, respectively. The impact to individual financial statement captions within the condensed consolidating statement of cash flows is footnoted below.
Set forth below are Columbia Property Trust's condensed consolidating balance sheets as of September 30, 20172019 and December 31, 2016,2018, as well as its condensed consolidating statements of operations and its condensed consolidating statements of comprehensive income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 20172019 and 2016;2018, and its condensed consolidating statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 20172019 and 2016.2018.

Executive Summary
OurIn October 2019, we entered an agreement to acquire Normandy Real Estate Management, a leading developer, operator, and investment manager of office and mixed-use assets in New York; Boston; and Washington, D.C. We will acquire Normandy's vertically integrated operating platform and its general partner interests in three active management funds in a cash and equity transaction with a total value of approximately $100 million, exclusive of transaction and closing costs. The acquisition will expand our current platform by strengthening our sourcing, construction, and other key capabilities, as well as by adding a full development arm and creating a complementary fund program. We believe it will also result in greater access to capital through Normandy's joint venture partner relationships and augment our growth strategy through Normandy's development platform and pipeline of value-add projects.
The acquisition of Normandy furthers our primary strategic objective is to generate long-term shareholderstockholder returns from a combination of growing cash flows and appreciation in the values of our properties, by owning and operating high-quality office properties principally located in certain high-barrier-to-entry markets. We concentrate onOur approach is to own office buildings that are competitive within the top tier of their markets or that will be repositioned as such through value-add initiatives. In addition, ourOur investment objectives include optimizing our portfolio allocation between stabilized investments and more growth-oriented, value-add investments and development projects with an emphasis on central business districts and multi-tenant buildings.

In Atlanta, at One Glenlake, we executed a 10-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 quarter end.
our high-barrier target markets. We continue to maintain a strong and flexible balance sheet with an emphasis onsheet. In December 2018, we amended and restated our $500 million unsecured borrowings, with weighted-averagerevolving credit facility and $300 million unsecured term loan, resulting in a $950 million combined credit facility. The amended and restated facility extended maturities, lowered interest costs, and increased the Revolving Credit Facility from $500 million to $650 million. Further, the new $300 million term loan is currently undrawn and includes a delayed-draw feature, which allows for us to fully draw the term loan by December 7, 2019. As of 6.2 yearsSeptember 30, 2019, our debt-to-real-estate-asset ratio is 31.6%(1)(2); 90.7%(1), weighted-average of our portfolio is unencumbered by mortgages; and our weighted average cost of borrowing of 3.63%during the quarter is 3.82%(1) per annum,annum. Our debt maturities are laddered, coming due in two to seven years, and an unencumbered pool$450.0 million of assets as a percentage of gross real estate assets of 91%(1). Our stock repurchase program allows usour unsecured borrowings can be repaid prior to take advantage of market opportunities frommaturity without penalty.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
Cash flows generated from the operation of our properties are primarily used to fund recurring expenditures and stockholder dividends. 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 considerportfolio, 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, ourOur board of directors elected to reduce the quarterly stockholder distribution rate from $0.30 per share tomaintain a $0.20 per share, and maintained thisdividend rate for the second and third quartersquarter 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.2019.

During the first nine months ended September 30, 2017,of 2019, we generated net cash flows from operating activities of $47.1$104.1 million, which consistedconsists primarily of receipts from tenants for rent and reimbursements, reduced by payments for operating costs, administrative expenses, interest expense, and interest expense.lease inducements. During the same period, we paid total distributions to stockholders of $109.6$93.5 million, which included dividend payments for threefour quarters ($36.723.3 million for the fourth quarter of 20162018 and an aggregate of $72.9$70.2 million for the first three quarters of 2017)2019).
During the first nine months ended September 30, 2017,of 2019, we sold five wholly owned propertiesreceived $375.0 million in net sales proceeds from the sale of Lindbergh Center and partial interests in two additional properties for netOne & Three Glenlake Parkway. These proceeds of $737.6 million. Wewere used these proceeds to fund the early repayment$182.0 million of mortgage notes of $201.6 million, the purchase of an interest in 114 Fifth Avenue for $112.5 million, deposits of $52.0 million for acquisitions,net repayments on our Revolving Credit Facility; leasing and capital projects, including those at our joint ventures, of $84.1$67.1 million; and an earnest money deposit of $13.7 million, and share repurchases of $59.1 million. In October 2017, we reinvested the remaining proceeds in 245-249 West 17th Street and 218 West 18th Streetrelated to a joint venture that will redevelop a property in New York and an interest in 1800 M Street in Washington, D.C., as described in Note 3, Real Estate Transactions, of the accompanying consolidated financial statements.York.
Over the short-term,short term, we expect our primary sources of capital and liquidity to be operating cash flows, additional proceeds from our joint ventures with Allianz,select property dispositions, and future debt financings.debt. We expect that our principal demands for funds will be property acquisitions, development and redevelopment costs, capital improvements to our existing portfolio, stockholder distributions, stock repurchases, stockholder distributions, operating expenses, and interest and principal payments on current and maturing debt.payments. As of October 23, 2017, after closing on the acquisitions of 245-249 West 17th Street and 218 West 18th Street in New York and an interest in 1800 M Street in Washington, D.C.,21, 2019, we have access to $140.0$493.0 million under our Revolving Credit Facility.Facility and $300.0 million under our delayed-draw term loan. We believe that we will have adequate liquidity and capital resources to meet our current obligations as they come due. We are in the process of evaluating various options for refinancing our line of credit borrowings.
Long-termLong-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.dispositions, and borrowing proceeds. We expect that our primary uses of capital will continue to include stockholder distributions; acquisitions; development and redevelopment costs; capital expenditures, such as building improvements, tenant improvements, and leasing costs; and repaying or refinancing debt.
Consistent with our financing objectives and operational strategy over the long term, we continue to maintain nethave generally maintained debt levels historicallyof less than 40% of the undepreciated costcosts of our assets over the long term.assets. As of September 30, 2017,2019, our net-debt-to-real-estate-assetdebt-to-real-estate-asset ratio was approximately 25.5%31.6% on a gross basis, and approximately 27.7% on a net basis (i.e., whichreduced for cash on hand). As of September 30, 2019, we held the majority of the net proceeds received from the September 26, 2019 sale of Lindbergh Center in cash. Our debt-to-real-estate-asset ratio includes our 51%share of joint venture real estate assets and debt, as well as basis adjustments related to joint venture real estate assets.
As described below, our variable-rate indebtedness uses LIBOR, which is currently expected to be discontinued after 2021, as a benchmark for establishing the interest rate. Our Revolving Credit Facility and our term loans provide that, in the debtevent that LIBOR is discontinued, the borrower and real estatelender shall endeavor to establish an alternate index rate that gives due consideration to the then-prevailing market convention for determining interest rates on syndicated loans. Our interest rate swaps use the International Swaps and Derivatives Association ("ISDA") Master Agreement form. ISDA is expected to amend this Master Agreement form to address the transition from LIBOR to an alternate reference rate, and we expect to amend our interest rate swap contracts accordingly.
There can be no assurances as to what alternative base rates may be or whether such base rate will be more or less favorable than LIBOR. There is also the possibility of other unforeseen impacts of the Market Square Joint Venture. Our net-debt-to-real-estate-asset ratio is calculated usingpotential discontinuation of LIBOR. We will continue to monitor LIBOR reform developments, and to work with our debt balance, netlenders and interest rate swap counterparties to ensure that any transition away from LIBOR will have minimal impact on our financial condition; however, we can provide no assurances regarding the impact of cash on hand, and real estate at cost.the discontinuation of LIBOR.

Rental income was $55.0Lease revenues were $69.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017,2019, which represents a slight decrease as compared with $87.6$69.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The decrease is primarily due to2018, as the impact of the dispositions ($24.63.3 million) and the transfer of University Circle and 333 Market Street to unconsolidated joint ventures ($12.2 million),is partially offset by our lease with NYU Langone Medical at 222 East 41st Streetadditional revenues from recent leasing ($4.32.6 million). 222 East 41st Street was vacant during the prior year period as the full building was prepared for the lease with NYU Langone Medical that commenced in October 2016. We expect future rental incomelease revenues to vary based on recent and future investing and leasing activities.

In the current year period, we provided asset and property management servicesis expected to the Market Square Joint Venture and the San Francisco Joint Ventures, since their formation in July 2017. In the prior year period, such services were provided only to the Market Square Joint Venture.

Other property income was $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017,2019, which represents a decrease as compared with $1.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016,2018, primarily due to earning less income fromprior-year lease terminations in 2017 ($1.5 million), partially offset by increased reimbursements from unconsolidated joint ventures ($0.8 million).termination activity. Other property operating income is expected to vary in the future, based on additional lease restructuringfuture joint venture activities.
Property operating costs were $23.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, which represents an increase as compared with $21.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018, primarily due to increases in property and other taxes. Property operating costs are expected to vary based on recent and future investing and leasing activities.
Asset and property management fee expenses were $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, which represents a decrease as compared with $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017, which represents2018, as a decrease as compared with $0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016, primarily dueresult of transitioning one of our properties from third-party to the sale of the Key Center Marriott in January 2017 ($0.2 million).internal management.

The decrease is primarily due toimpact of dispositions ($5.21.1 million) and transferring University Circle and 333 Market Street to unconsolidated joint ventureswas largely offset by capital projects across the portfolio ($2.81.0 million). Depreciation is expected to vary based on recent and future investing activity.activities and capital projects.

General and administrative – unconsolidated joint ventures expenses were $0.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016; and general and administrative expenses - unconsolidated joint ventures increased to2019, which represents a slight increase as compared with $0.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 from $0.02018, primarily due to expanding our team. Future general and administrative unconsolidated joint ventures expenses are expected to vary as a result of future investing activities.
For the three months ended September 30, 2019, we recognized pre-acquisition costs of $2.4 million related to the Normandy transaction described in Note 15, Subsequent Events, of the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

We expect interest expense to increasevary in the near term due to borrowings to fund acquisitions occurring subsequent to period end.based on future financing activities.
Interest and other income was $2.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017, which represents an increase compared with $1.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The increase is due to interest income earned on additional cash deposits held in 2017 ($1.0 million).2018. The majority of this income iswas earned on investments in development authority bonds, withwhich were used to settle a remaining term of approximately 4.3 years as of September 30, 2017 ($1.8 million for both the three months ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016).corresponding capital lease obligation in December 2018.

These early repayments resulted in the write-off of related deferred financing costs. We expect future gains or losses on early extinguishments of debt to varydecrease as compared with financing activities.

We expect income from the unconsolidated joint ventures to vary based on future joint venture investing activities and leasing activity at the properties owned through unconsolidated joint ventures.

Supplemental Performance Measures
In addition to net income, we measure theour performance of the company using certain non-GAAP supplemental performance measures,metrics, including: (i) Funds From Operations ("FFO"), (ii) Net Operating Income ("NOI"), and (iii) Same Store Net Operating Income ("Same Store NOI"). These non-GAAP metricssupplemental performance measures are commonly used by REIT 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 assumesperformance principally because they exclude the effects of certain income and expenses that do not reflect the valuecash-generating capability 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.our operations. 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 excludeexcludes 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, principally because it principally adjusts forexcludes the effects of GAAP depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, which assumes thatassets. GAAP depreciation and amortization reflect a systematic reduction in the carrying value of real estate diminishes predictably over time. Sinceassets and, therefore, are not indicative of the actual increase or decrease in the realizable value of real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, we believe that FFO provides a meaningful supplemental measure of our performance.assets. 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 or losses on sales of real estate and impairments of real estate assets, plusand 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 thisthus may not be comparable to those presentations.
FFO is not reduced for the amounts needed to fund capital replacements or 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.

Straight-line rental income, net:  to recognize rent on a straight-line basis over the lease term, we recognized net straight-line rental income for our wholly owned properties of $2.0 million and $5.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively; and $9.7 million and $22.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Income from unconsolidated joint ventures includes additional net straight-line rental income of $0.2 million and $(0.1) million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively; and $0.9 million and $0.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. 
Amortization of intangible lease assets and liabilities:  to amortize above- and below-market, in-place lease intangible assets (liabilities), we recognized net increases to rental revenues (or decreases to operating expenses) for our wholly owned properties of $(1.1) million and $1.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively; and $(3.4) million and $(2.2) million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Income from unconsolidated joint ventures includes additional net operating income for amortization of intangible lease assets and liabilities of $(2.4) million and $(2.8) million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively; and $(7.4) million and $(8.7) million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
Gain on extinguishment of debt:  we recognized a gain on the settlement of debt of $23.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018. 
Amortization of deferred financing costs and debt premiums (discounts):  to amortize costs associated with securing debt from third-party lenders over the terms of the respective debt facilities, we recognized noncash interest expense of $0.6 million and $0.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively; and $1.9 million and $2.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Income from unconsolidated joint ventures includes additional noncash interest expense of $0.4 million for both the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018; and $1.2 million for both the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018. 
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.
51

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 acquisitions and dispositions.changes in our operating portfolio. On an individual property basis, Same Store NOI is computed in the same manner as NOI (as described in the preceding section).

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 tostockholders. To the dividends-paid deduction and by excludingextent that we satisfy the distribution requirement but distribute less than 100% of our net capital gain. As a REIT taxable income, we generally will notwould be subject to federal and state corporate income tax on income that we distribute to our stockholders.the undistributed income. 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. The TRS Entities, among other things, provide tenant services that Columbia Property Trust,we, as a 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.
54


In addition, for us to continue to qualify as a REIT, we must limit our investments in taxable REIT subsidiaries to 25%20% 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 or equal to 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.

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, 2016.2018. As described in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to the accompanying consolidated financial statements, we adopted ASC 842 during the quarter ended March 31, 2019.

Related-Party Transactions
During the nine months ended September 30, 20172019 and 2016,2018, we did not have any related-party transactions, except as described in Note 4, Unconsolidated Joint Ventures, of the accompanying consolidated 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:
guaranty ofguaranties related to the debt of an unconsolidated joint venture of $11.2 million;venture;
obligations under operating leases;
obligations under capital leases;
commitments under existing lease agreements; and
litigation.

Subsequent Events
We have evaluated subsequent events in connection with the preparation of the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in this report on Form 10-Q, and noted the following in additionsubsequent event:
On October 16, 2019, we entered into a contribution agreement (the "Contribution Agreement") to those disclosed elsewhere in this report:
Acquisition of 245-249 West 17th Street & 218 West 18th Street, as described in Note 3, acquire Normandy Real Estate Transactions, Management, LLC, a developer, operator, and investment manager of office and mixed-use assets in New York, Boston, and Washington, D.C. for approximately $100 million, exclusive of transaction and closing costs (the "Purchase Price").

This transaction is expected to close in 2019, pending the accompanying consolidated financial statements;completion of customary closing conditions.
The Purchase Price will be comprised of two components: an approximately $13.5 million cash payment, and
the issuance of 3,264,151 Series A Convertible, Perpetual Preferred Units at a strike price of $26.50 per share (the "Preferred OP Units") of Columbia Property Trust OP at the Closing. The Preferred OP Units will be convertible into newly issued common units of Columbia Property Trust OP, which are convertible into shares of Columbia Property Trust's common stock, subject to certain terms and conditions.
Acquisition of investment in 1800 M Street through a joint venture, as described in Note 3, Real Estate Transactions, of the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 3.QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
As a result of certain of our outstanding 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
55

periods. Fluctuations in LIBOR may affect the amount of interest expense we incur on borrowings indexed to LIBOR, such as borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility and the $300 Million Term Loan, which bear interest at the applicable LIBOR rate, as defined in the credit agreements, plus an applicable margin that is subject to adjustment based on our credit ratings.
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, at times 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, as of September 30, 2019, only certain borrowings under 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 hasand $300 million of the borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility have 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.; and the $300 Million Term Loan remained undrawn.

Page 51


As of September 30, 2017,2019, we had no$300.0 million in outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility; $150.0 million outstanding on the $150 Million Term Loan; $300.0 million outstanding on the $300 Million Term Loan; $349.6$349.7 million in 2025 Bonds Payable outstanding; $348.8$349.1 million in 2026 Bonds Payable outstanding; and $73.0millionno borrowings outstanding on fixed-rate, term mortgage loans.our $300 Million Term Loan. The amounts outstanding on our Revolving Credit Facility in the future will largely depend upon future acquisition and disposition activity. The weighted-average interest rate of all our consolidated debt instruments was 3.72%3.41% as of September 30, 2017.2019.
Approximately $921.4 millionAll of our $1,148.8 million total debt outstanding as of September 30, 2017,2019, is subject to fixed rates, either directly or when coupled with an interest rate swap agreement. As of September 30, 2017,2019, these balances incurred interest expense at an average interest rate of 4.17%3.41% and have expirations ranging from 20172022 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 a fixed rate of 5.07%.; and our 799 Broadway Joint Venture holds a $108.4 million construction note, which bears interest at a floating rate of 6.29% as of September 30, 2019. Adjusting for 51%our ownership share of the debt at the Market Square Joint Venture, which we own through anthese unconsolidated joint venture,ventures, our weighted-average interest rate of all of our debt instruments is 3.88%. None of the other joint venture owned properties have mortgage debt.
We do not believe there is any exposure to increases in interest rates related to the capital lease obligations of $120.0 million3.73% at September 30, 2017, as the obligations are at fixed interest rates.2019.

Management's Conclusions Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report in providing a reasonable level of assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods in SEC rules and forms, including providing a reasonable level of assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in such reports is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and our Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2017,2019, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 1.LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
ITEM 1.LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
From time to time, we are party to legal proceedings, which arise in the ordinary course of our business. We are not currently involved in any legal proceedings of which the outcome is reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, liquidity, or financial condition, nor are we aware of any such legal proceedings contemplated by governmental authorities.

ITEM 1A.RISK FACTORS
ITEM 1A.RISK FACTORS
There have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in the "Risk Factors" section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K except as discussed below, for the year ended December 31, 2016.2018.
The Normandy transaction may not be completed on the terms or timeline currently contemplated, or at all.
The completion of the Normandy transaction is subject to certain conditions, (i) accuracy of each party's representations, subject in most cases to materiality or material adverse effect qualifications, and receipt by each party of a certificate to such effect; (ii) material compliance with each party’s covenants; (iii) receipt of required consents from third parties; and (iv) repayment of certain indebtedness and extinguishment of certain guarantees. We cannot provide assurances that the Normandy transaction will be consummated on the terms or timeline currently contemplated, or at all.
Failure to complete the Normandy transaction could adversely affect our stock price and future business and financial results.
If the Normandy transaction is not completed, our ongoing business may be adversely affected, and we will be subject to numerous risks, including the following:
having to pay substantial costs relating to the Normandy transaction, such as legal, accounting, financial advisor, and integration costs that have already been incurred or will continue to be incurred until the closing;
our management focusing on the Normandy transaction instead of pursuing other opportunities that could be beneficial to us without realizing any of the benefits of completing the Normandy transaction; and
reputational harm due to the adverse perception of any failure to successfully complete the Normandy transaction.
If the Normandy transaction is not completed, we cannot assure our stockholders that these risks will not materialize and will not materially affect our business, financial results, and stock price.
We may be unable to integrate the business of Normandy successfully or realize the anticipated synergies and related benefits of our Normandy transaction or do so within the anticipated time frame.
The ongoing integration of the Normandy business into our own will require significant management and resources. We may encounter difficulties in the integration process or in realizing any of the expected benefits from the acquisition, including the following:
the inability to successfully combine our business and Normandy's business in a manner that permits us to achieve the synergies anticipated to result from the acquisition, which would result in some anticipated benefits of the acquisition not being realized in the time frame currently anticipated or at all;
the complexities associated with integrating personnel;
the additional complexities of combining two companies with different histories, cultures, regulatory restrictions, markets, and customer bases;
our failure to retain key employees;
potential unknown liabilities and unforeseen increased expenses, delays, or regulatory conditions associated with the acquisition; and
performance shortfalls as a result of the diversion of management's attention caused by completing the acquisition.
For all these reasons, it is possible that the integration process could result in the distraction of our management; the disruption of our ongoing business; or inconsistencies in our services, standards, controls, procedures, and policies; any of which could adversely affect our ability to maintain relationships with tenants, customers, vendors, and employees.
