Item 2.02Results of Operations and Financial Condition
The information in this Current Report on Form 8-K is furnished under Item 2.02 - “Results of Operations and Financial Condition.” Such information, including the exhibits attached hereto, shall not be deemed to be “filed” for any purpose, including for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section. The information in this Current Report on Form 8-K shall not be deemed incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing.
On February 4, 2016, we issued a press release announcing our financial results for the three and twelve-months ended December 31, 2015. That press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.
The press release includes “non-GAAP financial measures” within the meaning of the Securities and Exchange Commission's Regulation G. With respect to such non-GAAP financial measures, we have disclosed in the press release the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and have provided a reconciliation of such non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.
Item 2.06Material Impairment
On December 31, 2015, the Registrant held for sale a portfolio of 58 suburban office properties (the “Portfolio”) in order to reduce its holdings in certain geographic markets. On February 4, 2016, the Portfolio was disposed of in a series of related transactions with affiliates of Och Ziff Capital Management Group LLC (“Och Ziff Real Estate”) involving the sale of its fee interests in the Portfolio land parcels and the sale of its leasehold interests in the Portfolio to a new formed real estate venture with Och Ziff Real Estate. In connection with the disposition, the Registrant recorded an impairment charge of $45.4 million as of December 31, 2015, reducing the aggregate carrying value of these properties from $426.2 million to the sales price less estimated closing costs of $380.8 million. The fair value measurement related to these impairment charges was determined by the pricing in the sales agreements.
In connection with its quarterly held for use impairment analysis, the Registrant evaluated the recoverability of the carrying value of three suburban office properties located in the Metropolitan D.C. segment. Due to deterioration in performance of the property and related market conditions, management shortened its expected hold period of ownership and, accordingly, determined that it was necessary to reduce the carrying value of these properties to estimated fair value. The Registrant recorded an impairment charge of $27.5 million as of December 31, 2015, reducing the aggregate carrying value of these properties from $40.4 million to their estimated fair value of $12.9 million. The impairments were determined using a discounted cash flow analysis.
