Easterly Government Properties, Inc.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

1. Organization and Basis of Presentation

The information contained in the following notes to the consolidated financial statements is condensed from that which would appear in the annual consolidated financial statements; accordingly, the consolidated financial statements included herein should be reviewed in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, and related notes thereto, included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K of Easterly Government Properties, Inc. (the “Company”) for the year ended  December 31, 2020 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 24, 2021.

The Company is a Maryland corporation that has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), commencing with its taxable year ended December 31, 2015. The operations of the Company are carried on primarily through Easterly Government Properties LP (the “Operating Partnership”) and the wholly owned subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership. As used herein, the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our” refer to Easterly Government Properties, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries and partnerships, including the Operating Partnership, except where context otherwise requires.

We are an internally managed REIT, focused primarily on the acquisition, development, and management of Class A commercial properties that are leased to U.S. Government agencies that serve essential functions. We generate substantially all of our revenue by leasing our properties to such agencies, either directly or through the U.S. General Services Administration (“GSA”). Our objective is to generate attractive risk-adjusted returns for our stockholders over the long termlong-term through dividends and capital appreciation.

We focus on acquiring, developing and managing U.S. Government leased properties that are essential to supporting the mission of the tenant agency and strive to be a partner of choice for the U.S. Government, working closely with the tenant agency to meet its needs and objectives. As of March 31,September 30, 2021, we wholly owned 8283 operating properties in the United States, encompassing approximately 7.5 million leased square feet in the aggregate, including 8082 operating properties that were leased primarily to U.S. Government tenant agencies and 21 operating propertiesproperty that werewas entirely leased to a private tenants.tenant. As of March 31,September 30, 2021, our operating properties were 99% leased. For purposes of calculating percentage leased, we exclude from the denominator total square feet that was unleased and to which we attributed no value at the time of acquisition. In addition, we wholly owned 1 property under development that we expect will encompass approximately 0.2 million leased square feet upon completion.

The Operating Partnership holds substantially all of our assets and conducts substantially all of our business. We are the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership. We owned approximately 89.0%88.5% of the aggregate limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership (“common units”) at March 31,September 30, 2021. We believe that we have operated and have been organized in conformity with the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2015.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and include the accounts of the Company, Easterly Government Properties TRS, LLC, Easterly Government Services, LLC, the Operating Partnership and its other subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein are unaudited; however, they include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to state fairly the consolidated financial position of the Company at March 31,September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, and the consolidated results of operations for the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2021 and 2020, and the consolidated cash flows for the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2021 and 2020. The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the balance sheet, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, including the impact of extraordinary events such as the


novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, the results of which form the basis for making judgements about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

 

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The significant accounting policies used in the preparation of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements are disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

3. Real Estate and Intangibles 

Acquisitions

We did not assume any debt upon acquisition of these properties. The intangible assets and liabilities of operating properties acquired during the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2021 have a weighted average amortization period of 7.4010.78 years as of March 31,September 30, 2021. During the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2021, we included $0.3$5.4 million of revenues and less than $0.1$1.2 million of net income in our Consolidated Statements of Operations related to the operating properties acquired.

During the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2021, we incurred $0.5$1.5 million of acquisition-related expenses mainly consisting of internal costs associated with property acquisitions.

Dispositions

On June 4, 2021, we sold SSA – Mission Viejo to a third party. Net proceeds from the sale of operating property were approximately $3.3 million and we recognized a gain on the sale of operating property of approximately $0.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

The spread over the applicable rate for each of the $450.0 million senior unsecuredour revolving credit facility, (our “revolving credit facility”), the $150.0 million senior unsecuredour 2018 term loan facility (our “2018 term loan facility”) and the $100.0 million senior unsecuredour 2016 term loan facility (our “2016 term loan facility”)(each as defined below) is based on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio, as definedset forth in the respective loan agreements.

 

(2)

Our revolving credit facility had available capacity of $341.0$337.5 million at March 31,September 30, 2021 with an accordion feature that permits us to request additional lender commitments for up to $250.0 million of additional capacity, subject to the satisfaction of customary terms and conditions.

 

(3)

Our revolving credit facility has two six-month as-of-right extension options subject to certain conditions and the payment of an extension fee.

 

(4)

Entered into 2 interest rate swaps with an effective date of March 29, 2017 with an aggregate notional value of $100.0 million to effectively fix the interest rate at 2.67% annually, based on our consolidated leverage ratio, as defined in our 2016 term loan facility agreement.


 

(5)

Entered into 4 interest rate swaps with an effective date of December 13, 2018 with an aggregate notional value of $150.0 million to effectively fix the interest rate at 3.963.91% annually, based on our consolidated leverage ratio, as defined in our 2018 term loan facility agreement. The four interest rate swaps mature on June 19, 2023, which is not coterminous with the maturity date of 2018 term loan facility.

 

(6)

Effective interest rates are as follows: DEA – Pleasanton 1.80%, VA – Golden 5.03%, MEPCOM – Jacksonville 3.89%, USFS II Albuquerque 3.92%, ICE – Charleston 3.93%, VA – Loma Linda 3.78%, CBP – Savannah 4.12%.

On July 23, 2021, we entered into a second amended and restated senior unsecured credit agreement (the “second amended senior unsecured credit agreement”) governing our senior unsecured credit facility. The second amended senior unsecured credit agreement increased the borrowing capacity under our prior senior unsecured credit facility by $50.0 million for a total credit facility size of $650.0 million, consisting of: (i) a $450.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility (our “revolving credit facility”), and (ii) a $200.0 million senior unsecured term loan facility (our “2018 term loan facility”),up to $50.0 million of which will be available for a 364-day delayed draw period. Our revolving credit facility also includes an accordion feature that will provide us with additional capacity, subject to the satisfaction of customary terms and conditions, of up to $250.0 million.

The Operating Partnership is the borrower, and certain of our subsidiaries that directly own certain of our properties are guarantors under our senior unsecured credit facility. Our revolving credit facility has an initial four year term and will mature in July 2025, with two six-month as-of-right extension options, subject to certain conditions and the payment of an extension fee. Our 2018 term loan facility has a five year term and will mature in July 2026. In addition, our 2018 term loan facility is prepayable without penalty for the entire term of the loan.

Borrowings under our senior unsecured credit facility bear interest, at our option, at floating rates equal to either:

a Eurodollar rate equal to a periodic fixed rate equal to LIBOR plus, a margin ranging from 1.20% to 1.80% for advances under our revolving credit facility and a margin ranging from 1.20% to 1.70% for advances under our 2018 term loan facility; or

a fluctuating rate equal to the sum of (a) the highest of (x) Citibank, N.A.’s base rate, (y) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50% and (z) the one-month Eurodollar rate plus 1.00% plus (b) a margin ranging from 0.20% to 0.80% for advances under our revolving credit facility and a margin ranging from 0.20% to 0.70% for advances under our 2018 term loan facility, in each case with a margin based on our leverage ratio.

If the Operating Partnership achieves certain sustainability targets as defined in the second amended senior unsecured credit agreement, the applicable margin will decrease by 0.01%.

In addition, on July 23, 2021, we entered into a fourth amendment to the loan agreement governing our $100.0 million senior unsecured term loan facility (our “2016 term loan facility”). The fourth amendment amends certain provisions in the loan agreement governing our 2016 term loan facility to conform to certain changes made to corresponding provisions in our second amended senior unsecured credit agreement.

Private Placement of Senior Unsecured Notes

On May 11, 2021, the Company and the Operating Partnership entered into a note purchase agreement pursuant to which the Operating Partnership would issue and sell an aggregate of up to $250.0 million of fixed rate, senior unsecured notes (the “Notes”) consisting of (i) 2.62% Series A Senior Notes due October 14, 2028, in an aggregate principal amount of $50.0 million, and (ii) 2.89% Series B Senior Notes due October 14, 2030 in an aggregate principal amount of up to $200.0 million.

On September 30, 2021, the Operating Partnership exercised its option under the note purchase agreement to increase the Series B tranche of the Notes to a principal amount of $200.0 million.

On October 14, 2021, the Operating Partnership issued and sold, an aggregate of $250.0 million of Notes pursuant to the note purchase agreement entered into on May 11, 2021. The Notes are unconditionally guaranteed by the Company and various subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership.

Financial Covenant Considerations

As of March 31,September 30, 2021, we were in compliance with all financial and other covenants related to our revolving credit facility, 2016 term loan facility, 2018 term loan facility, notes payable and mortgage notes payable.



Fair Value of Debt

As of March 31,September 30, 2021, the fair value of theour revolving credit facility was determined by considering the short term maturity, variable interest rate and credit spreads. We deem the fair value of the senior unsecuredour revolving credit facility as a Level 3 measurement. At March 31,September 30, 2021, the carrying value of our revolving credit facility approximated fair value.

As of March 31,September 30, 2021, the fair value of our 2016 term loan facility was determined by considering the variable interest rate and credit spreads.

As of March 31,September 30, 2021, the fair value of our 2018 term loan facility was determined by considering the variable interest rate and credit spreads. We deem the fair value of our 2018 term loan facility as a Level 3 measurement. At March 31,September 30, 2021, the fair value of our 2018 term loan facility was $150.0 million.

As of March 31,September 30, 2021, the fair value of our notes payable was determined by discounting future contractual principal and interest payments using prevailing market rates. We deem the fair value measurement of our senior unsecured notes payable instruments as a Level 3 measurement. At March 31,September 30, 2021, the fair value of our senior unsecured notes payable was $483.2$497.1 million.

As of March 31,September 30, 2021, the fair value of our mortgage notes payable was determined by discounting future contractual principal and interest payments using prevailing market rates. We deem the fair value measurement of our mortgage notes payable instruments as a Level 3 measurement. At March 31,September 30, 2021, the fair value of our mortgage notes payable was $209.6$211.4 million.

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk

The gains or losses on derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges is recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”) and will be reclassified to interest expense in the period that the hedged forecasted transactions affect earnings on the Company’s variable rate debt. 

Amounts reported in AOCI related to derivatives designated as qualifying cash flow hedges will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the Company’s variable rate debt. The Company estimates that $5.2 million will be reclassified from AOCI as an increase to interest expense over the next 12 months.

Credit-Risk-Related Contingent Features

The Company has agreements with each of its derivative counterparties that contain a provision where the Company could be declared in default on its derivative obligations if repayment of the underlying indebtedness is accelerated by the lender due to the Company’s default on such indebtedness. As of March 31,September 30, 2021, the fair value of derivatives in a liability position, which includes accrued interest but excludes any adjustment for nonperformance risk, related to these agreements was $11.3$8.8 million. As of March 31,September 30, 2021, the Company had not breached the provisions of these agreements and had not posted any collateral related to these agreements. If the Company breached any of these provisions it would be required to settle its obligations under the agreements at their termination value of $11.3$8.8 million.

6. Fair Value Measurements

Accounting standards define fair value as the exit price, or the amount that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The standards also establish a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of us. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect our assumptions about the factors market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability developed based upon the best information available in the circumstances. The hierarchy of these inputs is broken down into three levels: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions. Categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is most significant to the fair value measurement.

Recurring fair value measurements

The fair values of our interest rate swaps are determined using widely accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities in such interest rates. While the Company determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with its derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by the Company and its counterparties. The Company has determined that the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments made to its derivative contracts, which determination was based on the fair value of each individual contract, was not significant to the overall valuation. As a result, all of the Company’s derivatives held as of March 31,September 30, 2021 were classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.  

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, other assets and accounts payable and accrued expenses are reasonable estimates of fair values because of the short maturities of these instruments. For our disclosure of debt fair values in Note 4, we estimated the fair value of our 2016 term loan facility and our 2018 term loan facility based on the variable interest rate and credit spreads (categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy) and estimated the fair value of our other debt based on the discounted estimated future cash payments to be made on such debt (categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy); the discount rates used approximate current market rates for loans, or groups of loans, with similar maturities and credit quality, and the estimated future payments included scheduled principal and interest payments. Fair value estimates are made as of a specific point in time, are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment. Settlement at such fair value amounts may not be possible and may not be a prudent management decision.


The table below presents the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31,September 30, 2021, aggregated by the level in the fair value hierarchy within which those measurements fall (amounts in thousands):

Unvested restricted shares of common stock and unvested LTIP units are considered participating securities, which require the use of the two-class method for the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share.

The following table sets forth the computation of the Company’s basic and diluted earnings per share of common stock for the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2021 and 2020 (amounts in thousands, except per share amounts):

9. Leases

Lessor

The Company leases commercial space to the U.S. Government through the GSA or other federal agencies or nongovernmental tenants. These leases may contain extension options that are predominately at the sole discretion of the tenant. Certain of our leases contain a “soft-term” period of the lease, meaning that the U.S. Government tenant agency has the right to terminate the lease prior to its stated lease end date. While certain of our leases are contractually subject to early termination, we do not believe that our tenant


agencies are likely to terminate these leases early given the build-to-suit features at the properties subject to the leases, the weighted average age of these properties based on the date the property was built or renovated-to-suit, where applicable (approximately 15.515.9 years as of March 31,September 30, 2021), the mission-critical focus of the properties subject to the leases and the current level of operations at such properties. Certain lease agreements include variable lease payments that, in the future, will vary based on changes in inflationary measures, real estate tax rates, usage, or share of expenditures of the leased premises.

Lessee

In August 2020, we entered into a lease agreement for office space in Washington, D.C. to replace our previous sublease that commenced March 2016 and was terminated in March 2021. This new lease commenced in March 2021 and expires in August 2026. We also lease office space in San Diego, CA under an operating lease that commenced in February 2015 and expires in April 2022.

The commenced leases include variable lease payments that, in the future, will vary based on changes in real estate tax rates, usage, or share of expenditures of the leased premises. The Company has elected not to separate lease and nonlease components for its corporate office leases.

As of March 31,September 30, 2021, the unamortized balances associated with the Company’s right-of-use operating lease asset and operating lease liability were $1.7$1.5 million and $1.9$1.7 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2020, the unamortized balance associated with the Company’s right-of-use operating lease asset and operating lease liability for the Company’s 2 commenced office leases was $0.4 million. The Company used its incremental borrowing rate, which was arrived at utilizing prevailing market rates and the spread on our revolving credit facility, in order to determine the net present value of the minimum lease payments.

There were 0contract assets or liabilities as of March 31,September 30, 2021 or December 31, 2020.


11. Concentrations Risk

Concentrations of credit risk arise for the Company when multiple tenants of the Company are engaged in similar business activities, are located in the same geographic region or have similar economic features that impact in a similar manner their ability to meet contractual obligations, including those to the Company. The Company regularly monitors its tenant base to assess potential concentrations of credit risk.


As stated in Note 1 above, the Company leases commercial space to the U.S. Government or non-governmental tenants. At March 31,September 30, 2021, the U.S. Government accounted for approximately 98.6% of our total annualized lease income and non-governmental tenants accounted for the remaining approximately 1.4%.

NaN ofNaNof our 8283 operating properties are located in California, accounting for approximately 17.9%17.7% of our total leased square feet and approximately 23.9%23.4% of our total annualized lease income as of March 31,September 30, 2021. To the extent that weak economic or real estate conditions or natural disasters affect California more severely than other areas of the country, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be significantly impacted.

Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, estimated, or projected. We expressly disclaim any responsibility to update our forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. Accordingly, investors should use caution in relying on forward-looking statements, which are based on results and trends at the time they are made, to anticipate future results or trends.

the factors included under the heading “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 and the factors included under the heading “Risk Factors” in the Company’s other public filings;

 

risks associated with our dependence on the U.S. Government and its agencies for substantially all of our revenues, including credit risk and risk that the U.S. Government reduces its spending on real estate or that it changes its preference away from leased properties;

 

risks associated with ownership and development of real estate;

 

the risk of decreased rental rates or increased vacancy rates;

 

loss of key personnel;

 

the continuing adverse impact of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) on the U.S., regional and global economies and our financial condition and results of operations;

 

general volatility of the capital and credit markets and the market price of our common stock;

 

the risk we may lose one or more major tenants;

 

difficulties in completing and successfully integrating acquisitions;

 

failure of acquisitions or development projects to occur at anticipated levels or yield anticipated results;

 

risks associated with our joint venture activities;

risks associated with actual or threatened terrorist attacks;

 

intense competition in the real estate market that may limit our ability to attract or retain tenants or re-lease space;

 

insufficient amounts of insurance or exposure to events that are either uninsured or underinsured;

 

uncertainties and risks related to adverse weather conditions, natural disasters and climate change;

 

exposure to liability relating to environmental and health and safety matters;

 

limited ability to dispose of assets because of the relative illiquidity of real estate investments and the nature of our assets;

 

exposure to litigation or other claims;

 

risks associated with breaches of our data security;

 

risks associated with our indebtedness, including failure to refinance current or future indebtedness on favorable terms, or at all; failure to meet the restrictive covenants and requirements in our existing and new debt agreements; fluctuations in interest rates and increased costs to refinance or issue new debt;


 

risks associated with derivatives or hedging activity; and

 

risks associated with mortgage debt or unsecured financing or the unavailability thereof, which could make it difficult to finance or refinance properties and could subject us to foreclosure.


For a further discussion of these and other factors, see the section entitled “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, as may be supplemented or amended from time to time.

Overview

References to “we,” “our,” “us” and “the Company” refer to Easterly Government Properties, Inc., a Maryland corporation, together with our consolidated subsidiaries including Easterly Government Properties LP, a Delaware limited partnership, which we refer to herein as the Operating Partnership.

We are an internally managed real estate investment trust, or REIT, focused primarily on the acquisition, development and management of Class A commercial properties that are leased to U.S. Government agencies that serve essential functions. We generate substantially all of our revenue by leasing our properties to such agencies, either directly or through the U.S. General Services Administration, or GSA. Our objective is to generate attractive risk-adjusted returns for our stockholders over the long term through dividends and capital appreciation.

We focus on acquiring, developing and managing U.S. Government leased properties that are essential to supporting the mission of the tenant agency and strive to be a partner of choice for the U.S. Government, working closely with the tenant agency to meet its needs and objectives. As of March 31,September 30, 2021, we wholly owned 8283 operating properties in the United States, encompassing approximately 7.5 million leased square feet in the aggregate, including 8082 operating properties that were leased primarily to U.S. Government tenant agencies, and 2one operating propertiesproperty that werewas entirely leased to a private tenants.tenant. As of March 31,September 30, 2021, our operating properties were 99% leased. For purposes of calculating percentage leased, we exclude from the denominator total square feet that was unleased and to which we attributed no value at the time of acquisition. In addition, we wholly owned one property under development that we expect will encompass approximately 0.2 million leased square feet upon completion.

The Operating Partnership holds substantially all of our assets and conducts substantially all of our business. We are the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership and owned approximately 89.0%88.5% of the aggregate limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership, which we refer to herein as common units, as of March 31,September 30, 2021. We have elected to be taxed as a REIT and we believe that we have operated and have been organized in conformity with the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2015.

Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic

The novel coronavirus, or COVID-19, pandemic has caused and continues to cause significant disruptions to the United States, regional and global economies and has contributed to significant volatility and negative pressure in financial markets.  

We continue to carefully monitor the COVID-19 pandemic and its potential impact on our business. We are following guidelines established by the Centers for Disease Control and the World Health Organization and orders issued by the state and local governments where we operate. In addition, we have taken a number of precautionary steps to safeguard our business and our employees from COVID-19, including, but not limited to, implementing non-essential travel restrictions and facilitating telecommuting arrangements for our employees. We have taken these precautionary steps while maintaining business continuity so that we can continue to deliver service to and meet the demands of our tenants, including our U.S. Government tenant agencies. Since March 13, 2020, nearly all of our employees have been working remotely, with only certain operationally critical employees working on site.

The ability of our employees, including those working remotely, to securely access our IT networks and related systems has been a critical component of our ability to maintain business continuity during the COVID-19 pandemic. During this time, we have made additional investments in our IT networks and enhanced our existing cybersecurity plan, which utilizes standards established by reference to the National Institute of Standards (“NIST”) framework. As part of our ongoing cybersecurity plan, we conduct cybersecurity awareness training at least annually for all our employees, carry out quarterly control reviews, periodic penetration tests and annual investments in our security infrastructure, perform an assessment at least annually of our cybersecurity program against the NIST framework and conduct ongoing phishing simulations to raise awareness of critical security threats. The Audit Committee of our Board of Directors oversees our risk management processes related to cybersecurity, including discussing no less than annually our cybersecurity plan with management or our internal auditor.

The operations of many of our U.S. Government tenant agencies are deemed essential. We are working closely with our tenants to follow directions from the various federal government tenant agencies with respect to building operations within our portfolio, and


have issued guidance for our vendors and building engineers grounded in applicable federal, state and local guidelines. Whenever we learn of a confirmed case of COVID-19 involving an individual known to have been in one of our buildings, we immediately take


additional steps in collaboration with our tenants and vendors to disinfect and sanitize the affected spaces and all common areas in the building.

To date, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business and financial condition has not been significant. Substantially all of our revenue continues to be generated through the receipt of rental payments from U.S. Government tenant agencies, which accounted for 98.6% of our annualized lease income as of March 31,September 30, 2021. We expect that leases to agencies of the U.S. Government will continue to be the primary source of our revenues for the foreseeable future. Notwithstanding the recent volatility in the financial markets, we also believe that our capital structure will continue to provide us with the resources, financial flexibility and the capacity to support the continued growth of our business. Since January 1, 2021, we have issued an aggregate of 1,556,8243,671,232 shares of our common stock, which were all issued in settlement of forward sales transactions, under our March 2019 ATM Program and December 2019 ATM Program (as(each as described below). As of April 23,October 26, 2021, there are 2,949,6971,885,289 shares underlying forward sale transactions that have not yet been settled. Subject to our right to elect net share settlement, we expect to physically settle the forward sales transactions between September 2021January 2022 and AprilJuly 2022. As of March 31,September 30, 2021, we also had $341.0$337.5 million available under our $450.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility.

The future impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operations and financial condition will, however, depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the scope, severity and duration of the pandemic, the actions taken to contain the pandemic or mitigate its impact, and the direct and indirect economic effects of the pandemic and containment measures, among others. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 for a discussion of the potential adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Certain of our leases are currently in the “soft-term” period of the lease, meaning that the U.S. Government tenant agency has the right to terminate the lease prior to its stated lease end date. We believe that, from the U.S. Government’s perspective, leases with such provisions are helpful for budgetary purposes. While some of our leases are contractually subject to early termination, we do not believe that our tenant agencies are likely to terminate these leases early given the build-to-suit features at the properties subject to the leases, the weighted average age of these properties based on the date the property was built or renovated-to-suit, where applicable (approximately 15.515.9 years as of March 31,September 30, 2021), the mission-critical focus of the properties subject to the leases and the current level of operations at such properties.

On June 4, 2021, we sold SSA – Mission Viejo to an increase ina third party. Net proceeds from the weighted average borrowingssale of operating property were approximately $3.3 million and we recognized a gain on the sale of operating property of approximately $0.5 million for the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2021.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We anticipate that our cash flows from the sources listed below will provide adequate capital for the next 12 months for all anticipated uses, including all scheduled principal and interest payments on our outstanding indebtedness, current and anticipated tenant improvements, stockholder distributions to maintain our qualification as a REIT and other capital obligations associated with conducting our business. At March 31,September 30, 2021, we had $6.3$16.1 million available in cash and cash equivalents and there was $341.0$337.5 million available under our revolving credit facility.

Our primary expected sources of capital are as follows:

 

cash and cash equivalents;

 

operating cash flow;

 

available borrowings under our revolving credit facility;

 

issuance of long-term debt;

 

issuance of equity, including under our ATM Programs (as described below); and

 

asset sales.


Our short-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of funds to pay for the following:

 

development and redevelopment activities, including major redevelopment, renovation or expansion programs at individual properties;

 

property acquisitions under contract;contract, including our JV share of the remaining Portfolio Acquisition properties;

 

tenant improvements allowances and leasing costs;

 

recurring maintenance and capital expenditures;

 

debt repayment requirements;

 

corporate and administrative costs;

 

interest payments on our outstanding indebtedness;

 

interest swap payments; and

 

distribution payments.

Our long-term liquidity needs, in addition to recurring short-term liquidity needs as discussed above, consist primarily of funds necessary to pay for acquisitions, non-recurring capital expenditures, and scheduled debt maturities. Although we may be able to anticipate and plan for certain of our liquidity needs, unexpected increases in uses of cash that are beyond our control and which affect our financial condition and results of operations may arise, or our sources of liquidity may be fewer than, and the funds available from such sources may be less than, anticipated or required. As of the date of this filing, there were no known commitments or events that would have a material impact on our liquidity.

Private Placement of Senior Unsecured Notes

On May 11, 2021, the Company and the Operating Partnership entered into a note purchase agreement pursuant to which the Operating Partnership would issue and sell an aggregate of up to $250.0 million of fixed rate, senior unsecured notes (the “Notes”) consisting of (i) 2.62% Series A Senior Notes due October 14, 2028, in an aggregate principal amount of $50.0 million, and (ii) 2.89% Series B Senior Notes due October 14, 2030, in an aggregate principal amount of up to $200.0 million.

On September 30, 2021, the Operating Partnership exercised its option under the note purchase agreement to increase the Series B tranche of the Notes to a principal amount of $200.0 million.

On October 14, 2021, the Operating Partnership issued and sold, an aggregate of $250.0 million of the Notes pursuant to the note purchase agreement entered into on May 11, 2021. The Notes are unconditionally guaranteed by the Company and various subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership.



Senior Unsecured Credit Facility and 2016 Term Loan Facility

On July 23, 2021, we entered into a second amended and restated senior unsecured credit agreement (the “second amended senior unsecured credit agreement”) governing our senior unsecured credit facility. The second amended senior unsecured credit agreement increased the borrowing capacity under our prior senior unsecured credit facility by $50.0 million for a total credit facility size of $650.0 million, consisting of: (i) a $450.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility (our “revolving credit facility”), and (ii) a $200.0 million senior unsecured term loan facility (our “2018 term loan facility”), up to $50.0 million of which will be available for a 364-day delayed draw period. Our revolving credit facility also includes an accordion feature that will provide us with additional capacity, subject to the satisfaction of customary terms and conditions, of up to $250.0 million.

The Operating Partnership is the borrower, and certain of our subsidiaries that directly own certain of our properties are guarantors under our senior unsecured credit facility. Our revolving credit facility has an initial four-year term and will mature in July 2025, with two six-month as-of-right extension options, subject to certain conditions and the payment of an extension fee. Our 2018 term loan facility has a five-year term and will mature in July 2026. In addition, our 2018 term loan facility is prepayable without penalty for the entire term of the loan.

Borrowings under our senior unsecured credit facility bear interest, at our option, at floating rates equal to either:

a Eurodollar rate equal to a periodic fixed rate equal to LIBOR plus, a margin ranging from 1.20% to 1.80% for advances under our revolving credit facility and a margin ranging from 1.20% to 1.70% for advances under our 2018 term loan facility; or

a fluctuating rate equal to the sum of (a) the highest of (x) Citibank, N.A.’s base rate, (y) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50% and (z) the one-month Eurodollar rate plus 1.00% plus (b) a margin ranging from 0.20% to 0.80% for advances under our revolving credit facility and a margin ranging from 0.20% to 0.70% for advances under our 2018 term loan facility, in each case with a margin based on our leverage ratio.

If the Operating Partnership achieves certain sustainability targets as defined in the second amended senior unsecured credit agreement, the applicable margin will decrease by 0.01%.

In addition, on July 23, 2021, we entered into a fourth amendment to the loan agreement governing our $100.0 million senior unsecured term loan facility (our “2016 term loan facility”). The fourth amendment amends certain provisions in the loan agreement governing our 2016 term loan facility to conform to certain changes made to corresponding provisions in our second amended senior unsecured credit agreement.

Dividend Policy

In order to qualify as a REIT, we are required to distribute to our stockholders, on an annual basis, at least 90% of our REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gains. We anticipate distributing all of our taxable income. We expect to make quarterly distributions to our stockholders in a manner intended to satisfy this requirement. Prior to making any distributions for U.S. federal tax purposes or otherwise, we must first satisfy our operating and debt service obligations. It is possible that it would be necessary to utilize cash reserves, liquidate assets at unfavorable prices or incur additional indebtedness in order to make required distributions. It is also possible that our board of directors could decide to make required distributions in part by using shares of our common stock.

A summary of dividends declared by the board of directors per share of common stock and per common unit at the date of record is as follows:

We had no material off-balance sheet arrangements as of March 31,September 30, 2021.


Inflation

Substantially all of our leases provide for operating expense escalations. We believe inflationary increases in expenses may be at least partially offset by the operating expenses that are passed through to our tenants and by contractual rent increases. We do not believe inflation has had a material impact on our historical financial position or results of operations.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We use and present Funds From Operations, or FFO, and FFO, as Adjusted as supplemental measures of our performance. The summary below describes our use of FFO and FFO, as Adjusted, provides information regarding why we believe these measures are meaningful supplemental measures of our performance and reconciles these measures from net income, presented in accordance with GAAP.

Funds From Operations and Funds From Operations, as Adjusted

FFO is a supplemental measure of our performance. We present FFO calculated in accordance with the current National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or Nareit, definition set forth in the Nareit FFO White Paper – Restatement 2018. In


addition, we present FFO, as Adjusted for certain other adjustments that we believe enhance the comparability of our FFO across periods and to the FFO reported by other publicly traded REITs. FFO is a supplemental performance measure that is commonly used in the real estate industry to assist investors and analysts in comparing results of REITs.

FFO is defined by Nareit as net income, (calculated in accordance with GAAP), excluding:

 

Depreciation and amortization related to real estate.

 

Gains and losses from the sale of certain real estate assets.

 

Gains and losses from change in control.

 

Impairment write-downs of certain real estate assets and investments in entities when the impairment is directly attributable to decreases in the value of depreciable real estate held by the entity.

We present FFO because we consider it an important supplemental measure of our operating performance, and we believe it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of REITs, many of which present FFO when reporting results.

We adjust FFO to present FFO, as Adjusted as an alternative measure of our operating performance, which, when applicable, excludes the impact of acquisition costs, straight-line rent, amortization of above-/below-market leases, amortization of deferred revenue (which results from landlord assets funded by tenants), non-cash interest expense, non-cash compensation, depreciation of non-real estate assets and other non-cash items. By excluding these income and expense items from FFO, as Adjusted, we believe we provide useful information as these items have no cash impact. In addition, by excluding acquisition related costs we believe FFO, as Adjusted provides useful information that is comparable across periods and more accurately reflects the operating performance of our properties. Certain prior year amounts have been updated to conform to the current year FFO, as Adjusted definition.

FFO and FFO, as Adjusted are presented as supplemental financial measures and do not fully represent our operating performance. Other REITs may use different methodologies for calculating FFO and FFO, as Adjusted or use other definitions of FFO and FFO, as Adjusted and, accordingly, our presentation of these measures may not be comparable to other REITs. Neither FFO nor FFO, as Adjusted is intended to be a measure of cash flow or liquidity. Please refer to our financial statements, prepared in accordance with GAAP, for purposes of evaluating our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Item 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and interest rates. Our future earnings, cash flows and fair values relevant to financial instruments are dependent upon prevailing market interest rates. Our primary market risk results from our indebtedness, which bears interest at both fixed and variable rates. We manage and may continue to manage our market risk on variable rate debt by entering into swap arrangements to, in effect, fix the rate on all or a portion of the debt for varying periods up to maturity. This in turn, reduces the risks of variability of cash flows created by variable rate debt and mitigates the risk of increases in interest rates. Our objective when undertaking such arrangements is to reduce our floating rate exposure and we do not intend to enter into hedging arrangements for speculative purposes.

As of March 31,September 30, 2021, $887.6$885.5 million, or 87.7%87.4% of our debt, excluding unamortized premiums and discounts, had fixed interest rates and $124.7$128.2 million, or 12.3%12.6% had variable interest rates. If market rates of interest on our variable rate debt fluctuate by 25 basis points, interest expense would increase or decrease, depending on rate movement, future earnings and cash flows, by $0.3 million annually.

In July 2017, the Financial Conduct Authority (the “FCA”), the authority that regulates LIBOR, announced that it intends to stop compelling banks to submit rates for the calculation of LIBOR after 2021 and, on March 5, 2021, the FCA announced that USD-LIBOR will no longer be published after June 30, 2023. The Alternative Reference Rates Committee, or the ARRC, has proposed that the Secured Overnight Financing Rate, or SOFR, is the rate that best represents the alternative to USD-LIBOR for use in derivatives and other financial contracts that are currently indexed to USD-LIBOR. The ARRC has proposed a paced market transition plan to SOFR from USD-LIBOR and organizations are currently working on industry wide and company specific transition plans as it relates to derivatives and cash markets exposed to USD-LIBOR. We intend to monitor the developments with respect to the scheduled phasing out of LIBOR in 2023 and work with itsour lenders to ensure such transition away from LIBOR will have minimal impact on itsour financial condition, but can provide no assurances regarding the impact of the discontinuation of LIBOR.

Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We carried out an evaluation required by the Exchange Act, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a -15(e) and Rule 15d-15 of the Exchange Act, as of March 31,September 30, 2021. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of March 31,September 30, 2021, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and to provide reasonable assurance that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

We are not currently involved in any material litigation nor, to our knowledge, is any material litigation currently threatened against us.

Item 1A.

Risk Factors

There have beenExcept to the extent updated below or to the extent additional factual information disclosed elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q relates to such risk factors (including, without limitation, the matters discussed in Part I, “Item 2—Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”), there were no material changes to the risk factors includeddisclosed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.


We are subject to risks involved in real estate activity through joint ventures.

We have in the past acquired, are currently acquiring and may in the future acquire and own properties in joint ventures with other persons or entities when we believe circumstances warrant the use of such structures. Therefore, we may not be in a position to exercise sole decision-making authority regarding such joint venture or the properties held by such joint venture. Investments in joint ventures may involve risks not present were a third party not involved, including the possibility that our partners might become financially distressed or otherwise fail to fund their share of required capital contributions. Our partners might at any time have business, tax, or economic goals that are inconsistent with ours. These investments may also have the potential risk of impasses on decisions such as a sale, because neither we, nor the partner, would have full control over the joint venture. In addition, we may in certain circumstances be liable for the actions of our partners. If any of the foregoing were to occur, our cash flow, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.
