The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.
Hines Global REIT, Inc.

Beginning with its taxable year ended December 31, 2009, the Company operated and intends to continue to operate in a manner to qualify as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for federal income tax purposes. The business of the Company is managed by Hines Global REIT Advisors LP (the “Advisor”), an affiliate of Hines Interests Limited Partnership (“Hines”), pursuant to the Advisory Agreement between the Company, the Advisor and the Operating Partnership (the “Advisory Agreement”).
On August 5, 2009, the Company commenced its initial public offering of common stock for sale to the public which expired on February 1, 2013.

Collectively, through its public offerings, the Company received gross offering proceeds of $2.8 billion from the sale of 273.7 million shares from inception through the end of its public offerings. The Company commenced a $500.0 million offering of shares of its common stock under its distribution reinvestment plan on April 24, 2014 (the “DRP Offering”).

An affiliate of Hines owns the remaining 17% interest in this joint venture. Construction began in April 2013 and is expected to be completed by December 2014, although there can be no assurances as to when construction will be completed. |
| |
• | Flagship Capital JV — 97% interest in a joint venture with Flagship Capital GP, which was formed to provide real estate loans. The joint venture has seven loans receivable, totaling $33.8 million, outstanding as of June 30, 2014. Flagship Capital GP owns the remaining 3% interest in the joint venture. The Company is not affiliated with Flagship Capital GP. See Note 5 — Real Estate Loans Receivable for additional information regarding these loans receivable. |
Consolidated VIEs
The WaterWall Place JV, Ponce and Bird JV and Flagship Capital JV were each determined to be variable interest entities (“VIEs”) in which the Company is the primary beneficiary and the Company has consolidated these joint ventures accordingly. A summary of the assets and liabilities of these consolidated VIEs, as well as the maximum loss exposure of the Company from each VIE, is as follows (in thousands):
|
| | | | | | | | |
| | June 30, 2014 | | December 31, 2013 |
Maximum risk of loss (1) | | $ | 24,406 |
| | $ | 25,278 |
|
Assets held by VIEs | | $ | 150,672 |
| | $ | 126,528 |

Assets held as collateral for debt | | $ | 150,672 |

|
Liabilities held by VIEs | | $ | 119,892 |
| | $ | 94,675 |
|
| |
(1) | Represents the Company's contributions, net of distributions, made to the consolidated VIEs. |
Restrictions on the use of a VIE’s assets are significant because they serve as collateral for such VIE’s debt, and the Company is generally required to obtain its partners’ approval in accordance with the respective joint venture agreements for any major transactions. Transactions with these joint ventures on the Company’s consolidated financial statements primarily relate to contributions for the funding of loans receivable at the Flagship JV. The Company and its partners are subject to the provisions of the joint venture agreements for the VIEs, which include provisions for when additional contributions may be required. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company made capital contributions of $3.9 million, net of received distributions of $4.7 million, in accordance with the Company’s respective joint venture agreements. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company made capital contributions of $9.6 million in accordance with the Company’s respective joint venture agreements. This activity is eliminated in consolidation of the VIEs, but increases, or decreases in the case of distributions received, the Company’s maximum risk of loss.
Unconsolidated VIEs
The @1377 Equity Method Investment
The Company’s investment in @1377 was determined to be a VIE in which the Company was determined not to be the primary beneficiary since the joint venture partner has the ability to direct the activities that significantly impact the economic performance of the VIE and the secured loan is fully guaranteed by the joint venture partner. The Company’s maximum loss exposure is expected to change in future periods as a result of additional contributions made and any additional borrowings under its loan receivable with the VIE. Other than the initial capital contributions provided by the Company, the Company has not provided any additional subordinated financial support.
The table below summarizes the Company’s maximum loss exposure related to this investment as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, which is equal to the carrying value of its investment in the joint venture included in the balance sheet line item “Investment in unconsolidated entities” and the Company’s outstanding loan receivable balance held by the VIE which is included in the balance sheet line item “Real estate loans receivable” in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 (in thousands).

Revenue Recognition
Rental payments are generally paid by the tenants prior to the beginning of each month or quarter to which they relate. As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, the Company recorded liabilities of $34.2 million and $27.2 million related to prepaid rental payments, which were included in other liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company recognizes rental revenue on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease, including rent holidays, if any. Straight-line rent receivable was $40.2 million and $26.9 million as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. Straight-line rent receivable consists of the difference between the tenants’ rents calculated on a straight-line basis from the date of acquisition or lease commencement over the remaining terms of the related leases and the tenants’ actual rents due under the lease agreements and is included in tenant and other receivables in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Revenues associated with operating expense recoveries are recognized in the period in which the expenses are incurred based upon the tenant lease provisions. Revenues relating to lease termination fees are recognized on a straight-line basis amortized from the time that a tenant’s right to occupy the leased space is modified through the end of the revised lease term.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued amendments to provide guidance on the recognition, measurement and disclosure of obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of obligation within the scope of this guidance is fixed at the reporting date, except for obligations addressed within existing guidance in GAAP. The amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In March 2013, FASB issued guidance on releasing cumulative translation adjustments when a reporting entity ceases to have a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets that is a business within a foreign entity. The guidance was effective on a prospective basis for fiscal years and interim reporting periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2013. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In July 2013, FASB issued amendments to the Accounting Standards Codification (the “Codification”) to provide guidance on the presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. These amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 31, 2013. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In March 2014, FASB made technical corrections and improvements related to glossary terms in the Codification. The amendments were effective upon issuance and did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In April 2014, FASB issued amendments to the Codification to provide guidance on reporting discontinued operations. These amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 31, 2014 and early adoption is permitted. The Company has elected to adopt these amendments early, effective January 1, 2014, and the early adoption of these amendments has not had a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

The variable-rate debt has variable interest rates ranging from LIBOR, EURIBOR or the BBSY screen rate plus 1.00% to 6.25% per annum. Additionally, as of June 30, 2014, $515.9 million of the Company’s variable-rate debt was capped at strike rates ranging from 1.0% to 5.3%. See Note 7 — Derivative Instruments for more information regarding the Company’s interest rate contracts.
JPMorgan Chase Revolving Credit Agreement
For the period from January 2014 through June 2014, the Company made draws of approximately $488.4 million and payments of $453.9 million under its revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, and incurred a loss of $5.0 million through June 30, 2014 related to its borrowings on its loans denominated in a foreign currency. From July 1, 2014 through August 13, 2014, the Company had borrowings of $30.0 million under the Revolving Credit Facility resulting in an outstanding principal balance of $473.1 million, including the effect of changes in exchange rates as of August 13, 2014.
In April 2014, the Company entered into an amendment to the Revolving Credit Facility resulting in the following changes:
| |
• | an increase of the term loan commitment (the “Term Loan Commitment”) from $200.0 million to $378.0 million. |
| |
• | an increase of the foreign currency commitments under the revolving loan commitment (the “Revolving Loan Commitment”) from $212.5 million to $400.0 million; and |
| |
• | the removal of the $750.0 million maximum under the Revolving Loan Commitment and the $250.0 million maximum under the Term Loan Commitment. As a result of this amendment, the Company may request increases in each commitment so long as the aggregate commitments do not exceed $1.0 billion. |
Financial Covenants
The Company's mortgage agreements and other loan documents for the debt described in the table above contain customary events of default, with corresponding grace periods, including payment defaults, cross-defaults to other agreements and bankruptcy-related defaults, and customary covenants, including limitations on liens and indebtedness and maintenance of certain financial ratios. In addition, the Company has executed customary recourse carve-out guarantees of certain obligations under its mortgage agreements and the other loan documents.
The loan agreement for the loan secured by the Poland Logistics Portfolio requires that an occupancy level of at least 80% be maintained across the portfolio. In the fourth quarter of 2013, the Poland Logistics Portfolio did not meet this required occupancy level and was required to set up a reserve consisting of any excess net operating income (defined by the loan agreement as the amount equal to the total income of the portfolio less value-add taxes and payments on account service charges), which may be used towards repayment of the loan if the required occupancy has not been met for more than six months. The reserve will be discharged when the covenant has been met for two consecutive quarters. The Poland Logistics Portfolio did not meet the required occupancy as of June 30, 2014. The Company is not aware of any additional instances of noncompliance with financial covenants on any of its loans as of June 30, 2014.
Principal Payments on Debt
The Company is required to make the following principal payments on its outstanding notes payable for the period from July 1, 2014 through December 31, 2014, for each of the years ending December 31, 2015 through December 31, 2018 and for the period thereafter (in thousands):

7. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
The Company has entered into several interest rate swap contracts and interest rate cap agreements as economic hedges against the variability of future interest rates on its variable interest rate borrowings. The Company’s interest rate swaps effectively fixed the interest rates on each of the loans to which they relate and the interest rate cap contracts have effectively limited the interest rate on the loans to which they relate. The Company has not designated any of these derivatives as hedges for accounting purposes. See Note 10 — Fair Value Measurements for additional information regarding the fair value of the Company’s interest rate contracts.
The Company has also entered into foreign currency forward contracts as economic hedges against the variability of foreign exchange rates on future international investments. These forward contracts economically fixed the currency exchange rates on each of the investments to which they related. The Company did not designate any of these contracts as fair value or cash flow hedges for accounting purposes. See Note 10 — Fair Value Measurements for additional information regarding the fair value of the Company’s foreign currency forwards.

Notes Payable to Affiliates
The WaterWall Place JV and Ponce & Bird JV (as described in Note 1 — Organization) have entered into separate construction loans with an affiliate of Hines related to the development of multi-family projects in Houston, Texas and Miami, Florida, respectively. See Note 6 — Debt Financing for additional information regarding these construction loans.
@1377 Development
In June 2012, the Company entered into a mezzanine loan commitment of $3.2 million (plus any accrued interest) to provide construction financing to the @1377 development, which was completed in March 2014. As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, $3.9 million and $3.7 million were outstanding under the mezzanine loan, respectively. See Note 1 — Organization for additional information concerning the @1377 development.
Other Affiliate Transactions
In April 2012, the Advisor agreed to waive the asset management fee otherwise payable to it pursuant to the Advisory Agreement for each quarter in 2012 and 2013, to the extent that the Company’s modified funds from operations (“MFFO”), as disclosed in each quarterly report, for a particular quarter amounted to less than 100% of the aggregate distributions declared to its stockholders for such quarter. As a result of the fee waiver in 2013, the Advisor waived $3.6 million of asset management fees payable to it during the three months ended March 31, 2013. However, because MFFO exceeded distributions declared to the Company’s stockholders during the three months ended June 30, September 30, and December 31, 2013 no asset management fees were waived during those periods. The Advisor waived a total of $12.2 million through the expiration of the waiver on December 31, 2013.
In December 2013, the Advisor agreed to waive asset management fees otherwise payable to it for the year ended December 31, 2014 to the extent that the Company’s MFFO for the year ended December 31, 2014, as disclosed in its Annual Report on Form 10-K
for such year, amounts to less than 100% of the aggregate distributions declared to its stockholders for the year ended December 31, 2014. The Advisor did not waive any asset management fees owed to it during the six months ended June 30, 2014.
As a result of the waiver of these fees, if any, cash flows from operations that would have been paid to the Advisor for asset management fees may be available to pay distributions to stockholders. The fee waivers described above are not deferrals and accordingly, any fees that are waived will not be paid to the Advisor in cash at any time in the future.
10. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
As described in Note 7 — Derivative Instruments, the Company entered into several interest rate contracts as economic hedges against the variability of future interest rates on its variable interest rate borrowings. The valuation of these derivative instruments is determined based on assumptions that management believes market participants would use in pricing, 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. The fair values of interest rate contracts have been determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash receipts (or payments) and the discounted expected variable cash payments (or receipts). The variable cash payments (or receipts) are based on an expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate curves.
Although the Company has determined the majority of the inputs used to value its interest rate contracts 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, Eurohypo, PB Capital Corporation, Landesbank Baden-Württemberg, Commonwealth Bank of Australia, Bank of Western Australia, Deutsche Pfandbriefbank AG, Crédit Agricole, and SMBC Capital Markets, Inc. In adjusting the fair values of its derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, the Company has considered the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral postings, thresholds and guarantees. However, as of June 30, 2014, the Company has assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions and has determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuations of its derivatives. As a result, the Company has determined its derivative valuations are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Additionally, as described in Note 7 — Derivative Instruments, the Company has entered into several foreign currency forward contracts as economic hedges against the variability of foreign exchange rates on future international investments. The valuation of these forward contracts is determined based on assumptions that management believes market participants would use in pricing, 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 currency exchange rate curves and implied volatilities. The Company has determined its foreign currency forward contracts valuations are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, as they are based on observable inputs but are not traded in active markets.
The following table sets forth the Company’s derivatives which are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, by level within the fair value hierarchy as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 (all amounts are in thousands):

Financial Instruments Fair Value Disclosures
As of June 30, 2014, the Company estimated that the fair value of its notes payable, which had a book value of $2.3 billion, was $2.3 billion. As of December 31, 2013, the Company estimated that the fair value of its notes payable, which had a book value of $2.0 billion, was $2.0 billion. Management has utilized market information as available or present value techniques to estimate the amounts required to be disclosed. Although the Company has determined the majority of the inputs used to value its notes payable fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit quality adjustments associated with its fair value of notes payable utilize Level 3 inputs. However, as of June 30, 2014, the Company has assessed the significance of the impact of the credit quality adjustments on the overall valuations of its fair market value of notes payable and has determined that they are not significant. As a result, the Company has determined these financial instruments utilize Level 2 inputs. Since such amounts are estimates that are based on limited available market information for similar transactions, there can be no assurance that the disclosed values could be realized.
As of June 30, 2014, the Company estimated that the book values of its real estate loans receivable approximate their fair values. Although the Company has determined the majority of the inputs used to value its real estate notes receivable fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit quality adjustments associated with its fair value of real estate notes receivable utilize Level 3 inputs. However, as of June 30, 2014, the Company has assessed the significance of the impact of the credit quality adjustments on the overall valuations of its fair market value of real estate notes receivable and has determined that they are not significant. As a result, the Company has determined these financial instruments utilize Level 2 inputs. Since such amounts are estimates that are based on limited available market information for similar transactions, there can be no assurance that the disclosed values could be realized.
Other financial instruments not measured at fair value on a recurring basis include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, distributions receivable, tenant and other receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses, other liabilities, due to affiliates and distributions payable. The carrying value of these items reasonably approximates their fair value based on their highly-liquid nature and/or short-term maturities. Due to the short-term nature of these instruments, Level 1 and Level 2 inputs are utilized to estimate the fair value of these financial instruments.
Financial Instruments Measured on a Nonrecurring Basis
Certain long-lived assets are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. These assets are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis, but are subject to fair value adjustments (i.e., impairments) in certain circumstances. The inputs associated with the valuation of long-lived assets are generally included in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. As of June 30, 2014, there were no events that have occurred which indicated that fair value adjustments of the Company’s long-lived assets were necessary.
11. REPORTABLE SEGMENTS
The Company’s investments in real estate are geographically diversified and management evaluates the operating performance of each at an individual investment level and considers each investment to be an operating segment. The Company has aggregated all of its operating segments into four reportable segments based on the location of the segment and the underlying asset class. Management has aggregated the Company's investments that are not office properties in “other” based on the geographic location of the investment, due to the Company's ownership of interests in various different types of investments that do not stand alone as their own reportable segment. The Company’s reporting segments consist of the following, based on the Company’s investments as of June 30, 2014:
| |
• | Domestic office investments (11 investments) |
| |
• | Domestic other investments (10 investments) |
| |
• | International office investments (11 investments) |
| |
• | International other investments (9 investments) |
The tables below provide additional information related to each of the Company’s segments and a reconciliation to the Company’s net loss, as applicable. “Corporate-Level Accounts” includes amounts incurred by the corporate-level entities which are not allocated to any of the reportable segments (all amounts other than percentages are in thousands).

13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
In November 2013, Dorsey & Whitney LLP signed a lease renewal for its space in 50 South Sixth located in Minneapolis, Minnesota. In connection with this renewal, the Company committed to fund $20.8 million of tenant improvements and leasing commissions related to its space, to be paid in future periods. As of June 30, 2014, $13.3 million of the Company’s commitment remained unfunded and is recorded in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
The Company may be subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. These matters are generally covered by insurance. While the resolution of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes the final outcome of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in Item 1 in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The following discussion should also be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.
Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as amended. Such statements include statements concerning future financial performance and distributions, future debt and financing levels, acquisitions and investment objectives, payments to Hines Global REIT Advisors Limited Partnership (the “Advisor”), and its affiliates and other plans and objectives of management for future operations or economic performance, or assumptions or forecasts related thereto as well as all other statements that are not historical statements. These statements are only predictions. We caution that forward-looking statements are not guarantees. Actual events or our investments and results of operations could differ materially from those expressed or implied in forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by the use of terms such as “may,” “should,” “expect,” “could,” “intend,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “believe,” “continue,” “predict,” “potential” or the negative of such terms and other comparable terminology.
The forward-looking statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are based on our current expectations, plans, estimates, assumptions and beliefs that involve numerous risks and uncertainties. Assumptions relating to the foregoing involve judgments with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive and market conditions, the availability of future financing and future business decisions, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many of which are beyond our control. Any of the assumptions underlying forward-looking statements could prove to be inaccurate. To the extent that our assumptions differ from actual results, our ability to meet such forward-looking statements, including our ability to generate positive cash flow from operations, pay distributions to our shareholders and maintain the value of any real estate investments and real estate-related investments in which we may hold an interest in the future, may be significantly hindered.
The following are some of the risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those presented in certain forward-looking statements:
|
| |
| |
| |
— | Whether we will have the opportunity to invest offering and distribution reinvestment plan proceeds to acquire properties or other investments or whether such proceeds will be needed to redeem shares or for other purposes, and if proceeds are available for investment, our ability to make such investments in a timely manner and at appropriate amounts that provide acceptable returns; |
| |
— | Competition for tenants and real estate investment opportunities, including competition with affiliates of Hines Interests Limited Partnership (“Hines”); |
| |
— | Our reliance on our Advisor, Hines and affiliates of Hines for our day-to-day operations and the selection of real estate investments, and our Advisor’s ability to attract and retain high-quality personnel who can provide service at a level acceptable to us; |
| |
— | Risks associated with conflicts of interests that result from our relationship with our Advisor and Hines, as well as conflicts of interests certain of our officers and directors face relating to the positions they hold with other entities; |
| |
— | The potential need to fund tenant improvements, lease-up costs or other capital expenditures, as well as increases in property operating expenses and costs of compliance with environmental matters or discovery of previously undetected environmentally hazardous or other undetected adverse conditions at our properties; |
| |
— | The availability and timing of distributions we may pay is uncertain and cannot be assured; |
|
| |
— | Our distributions have been paid using cash flows from financing activities, including proceeds from our public offerings, proceeds from debt financings and cash from the waiver of fees, and some or all of the distributions we pay in the future may be paid from similar sources or sources such as cash advances by our Advisor or cash resulting from a deferral or waiver of fees. When we pay distributions from certain sources other than our cash flow from operations, we will have less funds available for the acquisition of properties, and your overall return may be reduced; |
| |
— | Risks associated with debt and our ability to secure financing; |
| |
— | Risks associated with adverse changes in general economic or local market conditions, including terrorist attacks and other acts of violence, which may affect the markets in which we and our tenants operate; |
| |
— | Catastrophic events, such as hurricanes, earthquakes, tornadoes and terrorist attacks; and our ability to secure adequate insurance at reasonable and appropriate rates; |
| |
— | The failure of any bank in which we deposit our funds could reduce the amount of cash we have available to pay distributions and make additional investments; |
| |
— | Changes in governmental, tax, real estate and zoning laws and regulations and the related costs of compliance and increases in our administrative operating expenses, including expenses associated with operating as a public company; |
| |
— | International investment risks, including the burden of complying with a wide variety of foreign laws and the uncertainty of such laws, the tax treatment of transaction structures, political and economic instability, foreign currency fluctuations, and inflation and governmental measures to curb inflation may adversely affect our operations and our ability to make distributions; |
| |
— | The lack of liquidity associated with our assets; and |
| |
— | Our ability to continue to qualify as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for federal income tax purposes. |
These risks are more fully discussed in, and all forward-looking statements should be read in light of, all of the factors discussed in “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.
You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Executive Summary
Hines Global REIT, Inc. (“Hines Global” and, together with its consolidated subsidiaries, “we”, “us” or the “Company”) and its subsidiary, Hines Global REIT Properties, LP (the “Operating Partnership”) were formed in December 2008 and January 2009, respectively, to invest in a diversified portfolio of quality commercial real estate properties and related investments in the United States and internationally. On August 5, 2009, we commenced our initial public offering of common stock for sale to the public (the “Initial Offering”) which expired on February 1, 2013. We commenced a follow-on offering effective February 4, 2013, through which we offered up to $3.5 billion in shares of common stock (the “Second Offering”), and we ceased offering primary shares pursuant to the Second Offering on April 11, 2014. Collectively, we received gross offering proceeds of $2.8 billion from the sale of 273.7 million shares through our Initial Offering and our Second Offering. We commenced a $500.0 million offering of shares of our common stock under our distribution reinvestment plan on April 24, 2014 (the “DRP Offering”).
Our board of directors established a new offering price of $10.40 per share for primary shares in the Second Offering and an estimated net asset value (“NAV”) per share of $8.90 effective March 4, 2014. These amounts represent an increase from the previous offering price of $10.28 per share and estimated NAV per share of $8.78, which were established in February 2013. The increases in these per share amounts were largely due to a 4.7% increase in the aggregate appraised value of our real estate property investments when such value is compared to (i) the previously determined appraised value of our assets (for assets that were acquired prior to 2013) and (ii) to the cost of our assets that were acquired during 2013.
We are approaching the end of our investing phase and one of our primary investment objectives was to invest in a real estate portfolio that is diversified by asset type, geographic area, lease expirations and tenant industries. We have made significant progress toward this objective. As of June 30, 2014, we owned interests in 41 real estate investments which contain, in the aggregate, 14.2 million square feet of leasable space.
These investments consisted of:
| |
• | Domestic office investments (11 investments) |
| |
• | Domestic other investments (10 investments) |
| |
• | International office investments (11 investments) |
| |
• | International other investments (9 investments) |
Our portfolio is comprised of approximately 54% domestic and 46% international investments (based on our pro rata share of the estimated value of each of the investments) and consists of a variety of real estate asset classes. Our current investment types encompass approximately 65% office, 14% retail, 9% mixed-use, 9% industrial and 3% multi-family (based on our pro rata share of the estimated value of each of the investments). We believe that this diversification is directly in-line with our investment strategies of maintaining a well-diversified real estate portfolio and providing additional diversification across currencies.
The following tables provide additional information regarding each of the properties in which we owned an interest as of June 30, 2014.

(1) | Represents the percentage leased based on the effective ownership of the Operating Partnership in the properties listed. On June 30, 2014, the Company owned a 99.99% interest in the Operating Partnership as its sole general partner. Affiliates of Hines owned the remaining 0.01% interest in the Operating Partnership. We own a 60% interest in the Brindleyplace Project through our investment in the Brindleyplace JV. See Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources — Cash Flows from Financing Activities — Distributions for additional information concerning the Brindleyplace Project and the Brindleyplace JV. |
| |
(2) | For acquisitions denominated in a foreign currency, amounts have been translated to U.S. dollars at a rate based on the exchange rate in effect on the acquisition date. |
| |
(3) | The estimated going-in capitalization rate is determined as of the date of acquisition by dividing the projected property revenues in excess of expenses for the first fiscal year following the date of acquisition by the net purchase price (excluding closing costs and taxes). Property revenues in excess of expenses includes all projected operating revenues (rental income, tenant reimbursements, parking and any other property-related income) less all projected operating expenses (property operating and maintenance expenses, property taxes, insurance and property management fees). |
The projected property revenues in excess of expenses includes assumptions which may not be indicative of the actual future performance of the property, and the actual economic performance of each property for our period of ownership may differ materially from the amounts used in calculating the estimated going-in capitalization rate. These include assumptions, with respect to each property, that in-place tenants will continue to perform under their lease agreements during the 12 months following our acquisition of the property. In addition, with respect to the Brindleyplace Project, Hock Plaza, Southpark, Fifty South Sixth, Komo Plaza, the Poland Logistics Portfolio, the Minneapolis Retail Center, 465 Victoria, One Westferry Circus, Riverside Center, 825 Ann, the Campus at Playa Vista, the Markets at Town Center, the Avenue at Murfreesboro and 55 M Street, the projected property revenues in excess of expenses include assumptions concerning estimates of timing and rental rates related to re-leasing vacant space.
| |
(4) | The Poland Logistics Portfolio is comprised of five industrial parks located in Warsaw, Wroclaw and Upper Silesia, Poland. |
| |
(5) | This amount represents the percentage leased assuming we own a 100% interest in each of these properties. The percentage leased based on our effective ownership interest in each property is also 95%. |
| |
(6) | Construction has been completed for this multi-family development property. The estimated going-in capitalization rate is based on the projected revenues in excess of expenses once the property’s operations have stabilized divided by the construction cost of the property. The projected property revenues in excess of expenses includes assumptions which may not be indicative of the actual future performance of the property, and the actual economic performance of the property for our period of ownership may differ materially from the amounts used in calculating the estimated going-in capitalization rate. These include assumptions concerning estimates of timing and rental rates related to leasing vacant space and assumptions that in-place tenants will continue to perform under their lease agreements during the 12 months following stabilization of the property. |
Discussed below are additional details related to our investments in multi-family projects which are still under development and investments in real estate-related debt. Each of these investments is included in our domestic other investments segment and excluded from the table above. All other investments are operating real estate investments.
| |
• | WaterWall Place JV — 93% interest in a multi-family development project in Houston, Texas that was completed in July 2014. An affiliate of Hines owns the remaining 7% interest in this joint venture. The project was 68% leased as of August 1, 2014. |
| |
• | Ponce & Bird JV — 83% interest in a joint venture that was formed in July 2012 to invest in a multi-family development project in Miami, Florida. The estimated total cost of the project is expected to be $66.0 million and the project will consist of 276 units upon completion. An affiliate of Hines owns the remaining 17% interest in this joint venture. Construction began in April 2013 and is expected to be completed by December 2014, although there can be no assurances as to when construction will be completed. |
| |
• | Flagship Capital JV — 97% interest in a joint venture with Flagship Capital GP, which was formed to provide real estate loans. We have committed to investing up to $49.4 million into the Flagship JV. The joint venture has seven loans receivable, totaling $33.8 million, outstanding as of June 30, 2014. Flagship Capital GP owns the remaining 3% interest in the joint venture. We are not affiliated with Flagship Capital GP. |
Critical Accounting Policies
Each of our critical accounting policies involves the use of estimates that require management to make assumptions that are subjective in nature. Management relies on its experience, collects historical and current market data, and analyzes these assumptions in order to arrive at what it believes to be reasonable estimates. In addition, application of these accounting policies involves the exercise of judgments regarding assumptions as to future uncertainties. Actual results could materially differ from these estimates. A disclosure of our critical accounting policies is included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. There have been no significant changes to our policies during 2014.
Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
To date, our principal demands for funds have been to purchase real estate properties and make other real estate investments, for the payment of operating expenses and distributions, and for the payment of principal and interest on indebtedness. Generally, we expect to meet operating cash needs from our cash flows from operating activities, and we expect to meet cash needs for acquisitions and investments from the net proceeds of our public offerings and from debt proceeds.
Our cash flows from operations have been and may continue to be insufficient to fully fund distributions paid to stockholders. Therefore some or all of our distributions may continue to be paid from other sources, such as proceeds from our debt financings, proceeds from our public offerings, cash advances by our Advisor, and cash resulting from a waiver or deferral of fees. In April 2012, our Advisor agreed to waive the asset management fee otherwise payable to it pursuant to the Advisory Agreement for each quarter in 2012 and 2013, to the extent that our modified funds from operations (“MFFO”) for a particular quarter, as disclosed in each of our quarterly reports, amounted to less than 100% of the aggregate distributions declared for such quarter. As a result of the fee waiver in 2013, the Advisor waived $3.6 million of asset management fees payable to it during the three months ended March 31, 2013. However, because MFFO exceeded distributions declared to the Company’s stockholders during the three months ended June 30, September 30, and December 31, 2013, no asset management fees were waived during those periods. The Advisor waived a total of $12.2 million through the expiration of the waiver on December 31, 2013.
In December 2013, the Advisor agreed to waive asset management fees otherwise payable to it for the year ended December 31, 2014 to the extent that the Company’s MFFO for the year ended December 31, 2014, as disclosed in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for such year, amounted to less than 100% of the aggregate distributions declared to its stockholders for the year ended December 31, 2014. As MFFO has exceeded distributions, the Advisor did not waive any asset management fees owed to it during the six months ended June 30, 2014. We have not placed a cap on the amount of our distributions that may be paid from sources other than cash flows from operations, including proceeds from our debt financings, proceeds from our public offerings, cash advances from our Advisor and cash resulting from a waiver or deferral fees.
We believe that the proper use of leverage can enhance returns on real estate investments. We expect that once we have fully invested the proceeds of our offerings, our debt financing, including our pro rata share of the debt financing of entities in which we invest, will be in the range of approximately 50% - 70% of the aggregate value of our real estate investments and other assets. As of June 30, 2014, our portfolio was 48% leveraged, based on the values of our real estate investments. As of June 30, 2014, we had $2.3 billion of principal outstanding under our various loan agreements with a weighted average interest rate of 3.3%, including the effects of related interest rate swaps.
The discussions below provide additional details regarding our cash flows.
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Our real estate properties generate cash flow in the form of rental revenues, which are used to pay direct leasing costs, property-level operating expenses and interest payments. Property-level operating expenses consist primarily of salaries and wages of property management personnel, utilities, cleaning, insurance, security and building maintenance costs, property management and leasing fees, and property taxes. Additionally, we incur general and administrative expenses, acquisition fees and expenses and asset management fees.
Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $53.7 million compared to $21.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The increase in cash provided by operating activities is primarily due to our acquisition of additional properties during 2013 and 2014. Additionally, we paid $30.3 million in acquisition fees and expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared with $41.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2013. Under GAAP, acquisition fees and acquisition-related expenses are expensed and therefore reduce cash flows from operating activities. However, we fund these expenses with proceeds from our public offerings or other equity capital.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities primarily relates to payments made for the acquisition of our real estate investments and activities related to our loans receivable. Net cash used in investing activities decreased $551.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the same period in 2013. The factors that contributed to the change between the two periods are summarized below.
2014
•We had cash outflows of $594.1 million related to our acquisition of three real estate investments.
| |
• | We paid $3.9 million in capital expenditures at our operating properties and paid $28.2 million in capital expenditures at our multi-family development projects in Houston, Texas and Miami, Florida. |
| |
• | We made real estate loans of $7.4 million and received proceeds from the collection of real estate loans receivable of $13.3 million. |
| |
• | We had an increase in restricted cash of $10.9 million primarily related to: (i) $3.9 million resulting from cash funded to escrow accounts for acquisition expenses related to the Forchheim acquisition, which was not released by June 30, 2014; (ii) an increase in escrowed tenant improvements at Perspective Defense; (iii) escrows required by several of our outstanding mortgage loans and (iv) the reserve required to be funded related to the Poland Logistics Portolio’s debt covenant. See Note 6 — Debt Financing for additional information regarding the Poland Logistics Portfolio’s debt covenant. |
2013
| |
• | We had cash outflows of $1.1 billion related to our acquisition of eight real estate investments and paid $1.5 million related to deposits on pending acquisitions. |
| |
• | We paid $7.3 million in capital expenditures at our operating properties and paid $18.4 million in capital expenditures at our multi-family development projects in Houston, Texas and Miami, Florida. |
| |
• | We made real estate loans of $11.8 million and received proceeds from the collection of real estate loans receivable of $6.8 million. |
| |
• | We had an increase in restricted cash of $3.5 million related to escrows required by several of our outstanding mortgage loans and security deposits at New City. |
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Public Offerings
As described previously, we ceased offering primary shares pursuant to the Second Offering in April 2014. During the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, we raised proceeds of $378.8 million and $264.2 million from our public offerings, excluding proceeds from the distribution reinvestment plan. In addition, during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, we redeemed $15.6 million and $8.5 million in shares of our common stock through our redemption plan.
In addition to the investing activities described above, we use proceeds from our public offerings to make certain payments to the Advisor, Hines Securities, Inc. (the “Dealer Manager”) and Hines and their affiliates during the various phases of our organization and operation. During the organization and offering stage, these include payments to our Dealer Manager for selling commissions and the dealer manager fee and payments to our Advisor for reimbursement of issuer costs. During the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, we made payments of $39.4 million and $31.1 million, for selling commissions, dealer manager fees and issuer costs related to our public offerings. The increase in these payments is primarily related to an increase in the proceeds raised from our public offerings for the six months ended June 30, 2014.
Distributions
We have declared distributions for the months of January 2013 through August 2014 at an amount equal to $0.0017808 per share, per day. Distributions are paid monthly on the first business day following the completion of each month to which they relate. All distributions were or will be paid in cash or reinvested in shares of our common stock for those participating in our distribution reinvestment plan. Distributions paid to stockholders (including those reinvested in stock) during the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 were $43.3 million and $27.7 million, respectively. Distributions paid to stockholders during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 were $80.8 million and $52.6 million, respectively.
Hines Moorfield UK Venture I S.A.R.L. (the “Brindleyplace JV”) declared distributions related to the operations of the Brindleyplace Project of $1.4 million and $1.1 million to Moorfield Real Estate Fund II GP Ltd. (“Moorfield”) for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The table below contains additional information regarding distributions to our stockholders and noncontrolling interest holders (Hines Global REIT Associates Limited Partnership, Moorfield and Flagship Capital GP) as well as the sources of distribution payments (all amounts are in thousands):

Our cash flows from operations have been and may continue to be insufficient to fully fund distributions paid to stockholders. We funded 36% of total distributions for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 61% of total distributions for the six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, with cash flows from financing activities, which include proceeds from our public offerings and proceeds from our debt financings. Also, during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, we paid $30.3 million and $41.2 million in acquisition fees and expenses. Under GAAP, acquisition fees and acquisition-related expenses are expensed and therefore reduce cash flows from operating activities. However, we fund these expenses with proceeds from our public offerings or other equity capital. See “— Results of Operations — Funds from Operations and Modified Funds from Operations” for additional information regarding our fund performance.
Debt Financings
We utilize permanent mortgage financing to leverage returns on our real estate investments. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, we entered into $233.7 million of mortgage financing with a weighted average interest rate of 3.7%, related to our acquisitions. Additionally, two of our multi-family development projects borrowed $28.8 million to fund construction costs and the Flagship JV borrowed $3.1 million under its revolving credit facility related to the funding of its loans receivable during the period.
We use borrowings under our term loan and revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association to provide funding for near-term investments or working capital needs. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, we borrowed approximately $488.4 million and made payments of $453.9 million under the Revolving Credit Facility. We also made payments of $3.5 million for financing costs related to our loans outstanding.
During the six months ended June 30, 2013, we entered into $572.1 million of mortgage financing with a weighted average interest rate of 3.4%, related to the acquisition of eight operating properties with an aggregate net purchase price of $1.2 billion. Additionally, two of our multi-family development projects borrowed $18.4 million to fund construction costs.
During the six months ended June 30, 2013, we also borrowed $1.1 billion and made payments of $596.7 million under two bridge loans and our previous revolving credit facility. During this time, we settled forward contracts that hedged against the 56.3 million AUD payment ($58.5 million as of the date of the transaction) on the 144 Montague credit facility in February 2013 and we received proceeds of $4.7 million as a result of these settlements, which is shown as a reduction in cash paid on our notes payable on our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.
Additionally, during the six months ended June 30, 2013, we made payments of $9.3 million for financing costs related to our loans and $1.5 million related to our interest rate caps.
Results of Operations
Same-store Analysis
We owned 41 real estate investments that were 95% leased as of June 30, 2014, compared to 33 real estate investments that were 97% leased as of June 30, 2013. The following table presents the property-level revenues in excess of expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to the same period in 2013, by reportable segment. Same-store properties for the three months ended June 30, 2014 include 26 properties owned as of April 1, 2013 that were 95% leased as of June 30, 2014 compared to 97% leased as of June 30, 2013. Further, the results below also reflect the Flagship JV and two multi-family projects had not been completed as of June 30, 2014. As we are currently in the acquisition phase of our life cycle, changes in our results of operations related to our properties are primarily due to the acquisition of properties, as indicated by the same-store analysis in the tables below. All amounts are in thousands, except for percentages:

In total, property revenues in excess of expenses of our same-store properties increased by 9% for the three months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2013. Set forth below is a description of the significant variances in our property revenues in excess of expenses at our same-store properties:
| |
• | International office investments: |
| |
◦ | Revenue at Stonecutter Court increased by $1.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2014, primarily as a result of an early lease termination payment. The previous tenant vacated its space and the space has been re-leased to a new tenant. |
| |
◦ | We experienced a $511,000 increase in rental revenue at New City due to increases in the rental rates in 2014, as well as a new tenant that took occupancy in the second quarter of 2014. |
| |
• | International other investments: |
| |
◦ | We experienced a $2.4 million increase in rental revenue at the Brindleyplace Project due to a new tenant that took occupancy in the third quarter of 2013. |
Recent acquisitions are responsible for the increases in depreciation and amortization, interest expense, and income tax provision identified in the table above.
The following table presents the property-level revenues in excess of expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to the same period in 2013, by reportable segment.

In total, property revenues in excess of expenses of our same-store properties increased by 7% for the six months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2013. Set forth below is a description of the significant variances in our property revenues in excess of expenses at our same-store properties:
| |
• | Domestic office investments: |
| |
◦ | Revenue at include at 17600 Gillette increased by $1.4 million due to termination fees from a tenant in March 2014. The previous tenant vacated its space and the space has been re-leased to a new tenant. |
| |
• | International other investments: |
| |
◦ | We experienced a $3.6 million increase in rental revenue at the Brindleyplace Project due to a new tenant that took occupancy in the third quarter of 2013. |
| |
◦ | We experienced a $907,000 decrease in rental revenues at one of our properties in the Poland Logistics Portfolio resulting from vacant space. As of June 30, 2014, the Poland Logistics Portfolio was 86% leased compared to 95% leased as of June 30, 2013. |
Recent acquisitions are responsible for the increases in depreciation and amortization, interest expense, and income tax provision identified in the table above.
Derivative Instruments
We have entered into several interest rate contracts as economic hedges against the fluctuation of future interest rates on our variable interest rate borrowings, and we have also entered into several foreign currency forward contracts as economic hedges against the variability of future exchange rates on our international investments. We have not designated any of these contracts as hedges for accounting purposes. These derivatives have been recorded at their estimated fair values in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Changes in the fair value of these derivatives result in gains or losses recorded in our condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). See “Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information regarding certain risks related to our derivatives, such as the risk of counterparty non-performance.
The table below summarizes the activity related to our derivatives for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 (in thousands):

General and administrative expenses | $ | 1,708 |
| | $ | 1,457 |
| | $ | 251 |
| | 17 | % |
The changes identified in the table above are primarily due to the following:
| |
• | We pay our Advisor acquisition fees equal to 2.25% of the net purchase price of our real estate investments. The decrease in acquisition fees identified above is a result of a decrease in our acquisition activity. For the three months ended June 30, 2014, we acquired one real estate investment with a net purchase price of $49.2 million, compared to three real estate investments with an aggregate net purchase price of $510.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013. |
| |
• | We pay monthly asset management fees to our Advisor based on an annual fee of 1.5% of the net equity capital invested in real estate. Asset management fees were higher for the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the same period in 2013, primarily due to our acquisition of additional real estate investments. |
| |
• | Acquisition-related expenses represent costs incurred on properties we have acquired and those which we may acquire in future periods. These costs vary significantly from one acquisition to another. In general, the decrease is a result of fewer acquisitions completed during the current period. |
| |
• | General and administrative expenses include legal and accounting fees, printing and mailing costs, insurance costs, costs and expenses associated with our board of directors and other administrative expenses. The increase in our general and administrative costs is primarily due to increased transfer agent costs resulting from an increase in the number of stockholders compared to the same period in 2013. |

The changes identified in the table above are primarily due to the following:
| |
• | The decrease in acquisition fees identified above is a result of a decrease in our acquisition activity. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, we acquired three real estate investments with an aggregate net purchase price of $597.2 million compared to eight real estate investments with an aggregate net purchase price of $1.2 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2013. |
| |
• | Asset management fees were higher for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the same period in 2013, primarily due to our acquisition of additional real estate investments beginning in 2013 and the waiver of $3.6 million of asset management fees by the Advisor for the three months ended March 31, 2013. See “— Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources” for additional information regarding the Advisor’s asset management fee waivers. |
| |
• | Acquisition-related expenses represent costs incurred on properties we have acquired and those which we may acquire in future periods. These costs vary significantly from one acquisition to another. In general, the decrease is a result of fewer acquisitions completed during the current period. |
| |
• | The increase in our general and administrative costs is primarily due to increased transfer agent costs resulting from an increase in the number of stockholders compared to the same period in 2013. |
Foreign Currency Gains (Losses)
Foreign currency gains (losses) reflect the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on transactions that were denominated in currencies other than our functional currencies. During the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, these losses were primarily related to the effect of remeasuring our borrowings denominated in foreign currencies into U.S. dollars and the changes in the related exchange rate between the date of the borrowing and the end of each period.
Funds from Operations and Modified Funds from Operations
Funds from Operations (“FFO”) is a non-GAAP financial performance measure defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) widely recognized by investors and analysts as one measure of operating performance of a real estate company. FFO excludes items such as real estate depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization, as applied in accordance with GAAP, implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time and also assumes that such assets are adequately maintained and renovated as required in order to maintain their value. Since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions such as occupancy rates, rental rates, inflation, interest rates, the business cycle, unemployment and consumer spending, it is management’s view, and we believe the view of many industry investors and analysts, that the presentation of operating results for real estate companies using historical cost accounting alone is insufficient. In addition, FFO excludes gains and losses from the sale of real estate and impairment charges related to depreciable real estate assets and in-substance real estate equity investments, which we believe provides management and investors with a helpful additional measure of the historical performance of our real estate portfolio, as it allows for comparisons, year to year, that reflect the impact on operations from trends in items such as occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, general and administrative expenses and interest costs. A property will be evaluated for impairment if events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable (i.e. the carrying amount exceeds the total estimated undiscounted future cash flows from the property). Undiscounted future cash flows are based on anticipated operating performance, including estimated future net rental and lease revenues, net proceeds on the sale of the property, and certain other ancillary cash flows. While impairment charges are excluded from the calculation of FFO as described above, stockholders are cautioned that due to the limited term of our operations, it could be difficult to recover any impairment charges.
In addition to FFO, management uses MFFO, as defined by the Investment Program Association (the “IPA”), as a non-GAAP supplemental financial performance measure to evaluate our operating performance. The IPA has recommended the use of MFFO as a supplemental measure for publicly registered, non-listed REITs to enhance the assessment of the operating performance of a non-listed REIT. MFFO is not equivalent to our net income or loss as determined under GAAP, and MFFO may not be useful as a measure of the long-term operating performance of our investments or as a comparative measure to other publicly registered, non-listed REITs if we do not continue to operate with a limited life and targeted exit strategy, as currently intended and described herein. MFFO includes funds generated by the operations of our real estate investments and funds used in our corporate-level operations. MFFO is based on FFO, but includes certain additional adjustments which we believe are appropriate. Such items include reversing the effects of straight-line rent revenue recognition, fair value adjustments to derivative instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment and certain other items as described below. Some of these adjustments are necessary to address changes in the accounting and reporting rules under GAAP such as the accounting for acquisition-related expenses from a capitalization/depreciation model to an expensed-as-incurred model that were put into effect in 2009 and other changes to GAAP rules for real estate subsequent to the establishment of NAREIT’s definition of FFO. These changes in the accounting and reporting rules under GAAP affected all industries, and as a result of these changes, acquisition fees and expenses are typically accounted for as operating expenses under GAAP. Management believes these fees and expenses do not affect our overall long-term operating performance. These changes also have prompted a significant increase in the magnitude of non-cash and non-operating items included in FFO, as defined. Such items include amortization of out-of-market lease intangible assets and liabilities and certain tenant incentives.
Other adjustments included in MFFO are necessary to address issues that are common to publicly registered, non-listed REITs. Publicly registered, non-listed REITs typically have a significant amount of acquisition activity and are substantially more dynamic during their initial years of investment and operations. While other start-up entities may also experience significant acquisition activity during their initial years, we believe that non-listed REITs like us are unique in that they have a limited life with targeted exit strategies within a relatively limited time frame after the acquisition activity ceases. We will use the proceeds raised in our offerings to make real estate investments, and intend to begin the process of considering our alternatives for the execution of a Liquidity Event (i.e., a sale of our assets, our sale or merger, a listing of our shares on a national securities exchange, or another similar transaction) between 2017 and 2019. Thus, as a limited life REIT we will not continuously purchase assets and will have a limited life.
The purchase of properties, and the corresponding expenses associated with that process, including acquisition fees and expenses, is a key operational feature of our business plan to generate operational income and cash flows in order to make distributions to our stockholders. MFFO excludes acquisition fees payable to our Advisor and acquisition expenses. Under GAAP, acquisition fees and expenses are characterized as operating expenses in determining operating net income. These expenses are paid in cash by us, and therefore such funds will not be available to distribute to our stockholders. All paid and accrued acquisition fees and expenses with respect to the acquisition of a property negatively impact our operating performance during the period in which the property is acquired and will have negative effects on returns to our stockholders, the potential for future distributions, and future cash flows, unless earnings from operations or net sales proceeds from the disposition of other properties are generated to cover the purchase price of the property, the related acquisition fees and expenses and other costs related to such property. In addition, if we acquire a property after all offering proceeds from our public offerings have been invested, there will not be any offering proceeds to pay the corresponding acquisition-related costs. Accordingly, unless our Advisor determines to waive the payment of any then-outstanding acquisition-related costs otherwise payable to the Advisor, such costs will be paid from additional debt, operational earnings or cash flow, net proceeds from the sale of properties, or ancillary cash flows. Therefore, MFFO may not be an accurate indicator of our operating performance, especially during periods in which properties are being acquired. Since MFFO excludes acquisition fees and expenses, MFFO would only be comparable to the operations of non-listed REITs that have completed their acquisition activity and have other similar operating characteristics.
Management uses MFFO to evaluate the financial performance of our investment portfolio, including the impact of potential future investments. In addition, management uses MFFO to evaluate and establish our distribution policy and the sustainability thereof. Further, we believe MFFO is one of several measures that may be useful to investors in evaluating the potential performance of our portfolio following the conclusion of the acquisition phase, as it excludes acquisition fees and expenses, as described herein.
MFFO has limitations as a performance measure in an offering such as ours where the price of a share of common stock is a stated value and there is no net asset value determination during the offering stage and for a period thereafter. MFFO is useful in assisting management and investors in assessing the sustainability (that is, the capacity to continue to be maintained) of operating performance in future operating periods, and in particular, after the offering and acquisition stages are complete and net asset value is disclosed. MFFO is not a useful measure in evaluating net asset value because impairments are taken into account in determining net asset value but not in determining MFFO.
FFO and MFFO should not be construed to be more relevant or accurate than the current GAAP methodology in calculating net income or in its applicability in evaluating our operating performance. In addition, FFO and MFFO should not be considered as alternatives to net income (loss) or income (loss) from continuing operations as an indication of our performance or as alternatives to cash flows from operating activities as an indication of our liquidity, but rather should be reviewed in conjunction with these and other GAAP measurements. Further, FFO and MFFO are not intended to be used as liquidity measures indicative of cash flow available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to make distributions to our stockholders. Please see the limitations listed below associated with the use of MFFO:
| |
• | As we are currently in the acquisition phase of our life cycle, acquisition costs and other adjustments that are increases to MFFO are, and may continue to be, a significant use of cash and dilutive to the value of an investment in our shares. |
| |
• | MFFO excludes acquisition fees payable to our Advisor and acquisition expenses. Although these amounts reduce net income, we generally fund such costs with proceeds from our offering and acquisition-related indebtedness (and, solely with respect to acquisition-related costs incurred in connection with our acquisition of the Brindleyplace Project in July 2010, equity capital contributions from Moorfield) and do not consider these fees and expenses in the evaluation of our operating performance and determining MFFO. |
| |
• | We use interest rate swap contracts and interest rate caps as economic hedges against the variability of interest rates on variable-rate loans. Although we expect to hold these instruments to maturity, if we were to settle these instruments currently, it would have an impact on our operating performance. Additionally, these derivative instruments are measured at fair value on a quarterly basis in accordance with GAAP. MFFO excludes gains (losses) related to changes in these estimated values of our |
derivative instruments because such adjustments may not be reflective of ongoing operations and may reflect unrealized impacts on our operating performance.
| |
• | We use foreign currency forward contracts as economic hedges against the variability of foreign exchange rates on certain international investments. These derivative instruments are typically short-term and are frequently settled at amounts that result in additional amounts paid or received. However, such gains (losses) are excluded from MFFO since they are not considered to be operational in nature. Additionally, these derivative instruments are measured at fair value on a quarterly basis in accordance with GAAP. MFFO excludes gains (losses) related to changes in these estimated values of our derivative instruments because such adjustments may not be reflective of ongoing operations or may reflect unrealized impacts on our operating performance. |
| |
• | We utilize the definition of FFO as set forth by NAREIT and the definition of MFFO as set forth by the IPA. Our FFO and MFFO as presented may not be comparable to amounts calculated by other REITs, if they use different approaches. |
| |
• | Our business is subject to volatility in the real estate markets and general economic conditions, and adverse changes in those conditions could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations and MFFO. Accordingly, the predictive nature of MFFO is uncertain and past performance may not be indicative of future results. |
Neither the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), NAREIT nor any regulatory body has passed judgment on the acceptability of the adjustments that we use to calculate FFO or MFFO. In the future, the SEC, NAREIT or a regulatory body may decide to standardize the allowable adjustments across the non-listed REIT industry and we would have to adjust our calculation and characterization of FFO or MFFO.
The following section presents our calculation of FFO and MFFO and provides additional information related to our operations (in thousands, except per share amounts) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 and the period from inception (December 10, 2008) through June 30, 2014. As we have recently completed the capital raising phase of our life cycle and are still in the acquisition phase of our life cycle, FFO and MFFO are not useful in comparing operations for the two periods presented below. We expect revenues and expenses to increase in future periods as we acquire additional investments.

Notes to the table:
| |
(1) | Represents the depreciation and amortization of various real estate assets. Historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, we believe that such depreciation and amortization may be of limited relevance in evaluating current operating performance and, as such, these items are excluded from our determination of FFO. |
| |
(2) | Includes income attributable to noncontrolling interests and all adjustments to eliminate the noncontrolling interests’ share of the adjustments to convert our net loss to FFO and MFFO. |
| |
(3) | Represents components of net loss related to the estimated changes in the values of our interest rate contract derivatives and foreign currency forwards. We have excluded these changes in value from our evaluation of our operating performance and MFFO because such adjustments may not be reflective of our ongoing performance and may reflect unrealized impacts on our operating performance. |
| |
(4) | Represents components of net loss primarily resulting from the remeasurement of loans denominated in currencies other than our functional currencies. We have excluded these changes in value from our evaluation of our operating performance and MFFO because such adjustments may not be reflective of our ongoing performance and may reflect unrealized impacts on our operating performance. |
| |
(5) | Includes the following components of revenues and expenses that we do not consider in evaluating our operating performance and determining MFFO for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 (in thousands): |
|

| |
(a) | Represents the adjustments to rental revenue as required by GAAP to recognize minimum lease payments on a straight-line basis over the respective lease terms. We have excluded these adjustments from our evaluation of our operating performance and in determining MFFO because we believe that the rent that is billable during the current period is a more relevant measure of our operating performance for such period. |
| |
(b) | Represents the amortization of lease incentives and out-of-market leases. |
| |
(6) | Represents acquisition expenses and acquisition fees paid to our Advisor that are expensed in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. We fund such costs with proceeds from our offering, and therefore do not consider these expenses in evaluating our operating performance and determining MFFO. |
Set forth below is additional information relating to certain items excluded from the analysis above which may be helpful in assessing our operating results.
| |
• | Amortization of deferred financing costs was $1.6 million and $1.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Amortization of deferred financing costs was $3.1 million and $2.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. |
As noted previously, our cash flows from operations have been and may continue to be insufficient to fully fund distributions paid. Therefore, some or all of our distributions may continue to be paid from other sources, such as cash advances by the Advisor, cash resulting from a waiver or deferral of fees, borrowings and/or proceeds from our public offerings. We have not placed a cap on the amount of our distributions that may be paid from any of these sources. The Advisor has not waived any fees payable to it during the six months ended June 30, 2014. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Advisor waived $3.6 million in asset management fees. However, because MFFO exceeded distributions declared to the Company’s stockholders during the three months ended June 30, September 30, and December 31, 2013, no asset management fees were waived during those periods. The Advisor waived a total of $12.2 million in asset management fees through the expiration of the waiver on December 31, 2013. See “— Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources,” for additional information regarding the Advisor’s asset management fee waivers.
From inception through June 30, 2014, we declared distributions to our stockholders totaling $337.6 million, compared to total aggregate FFO of $124.1 million and cash flows from operating activities of $140.4 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, we declared distributions to our stockholders totaling $82.7 million, compared to total aggregate FFO of $49.1 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, we declared distributions to our stockholders totaling $54.0 million, compared to total aggregate FFO loss of $9.0 million. During our offering and investment stages, we incur acquisition fees and expenses in connection with our real
estate investments, which are recorded as reductions to net income (loss) and FFO. From inception through June 30, 2014, we incurred acquisition fees and expenses totaling $190.6 million.
Related-Party Transactions and Agreements
We have entered into agreements with the Advisor, Dealer Manager and Hines or its affiliates, whereby we pay certain fees and reimbursements to these entities during the various phases of our organization and operation. During the organization and offering stage, these include payments to our Dealer Manager for selling commissions and the dealer manager fee and payments to our Advisor for reimbursement of issuer costs. During the acquisition and operational stages, these include payments for certain services related to acquisitions, financing and management of our investments and operations provided to us by our Advisor and Hines and its affiliates pursuant to various agreements we have entered into or anticipate entering into with these entities. See Note 9 — Related Party Transactions in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 for additional information concerning our related-party transactions.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Market risk includes risks that arise from changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, equity prices and other market changes that affect market-sensitive instruments. In pursuing our business plan, we believe that interest rate risk, foreign currency risk and real estate valuation risk are the primary market risks to which we are exposed.
Interest Rate Risk
We are exposed to the effects of interest rate changes primarily as a result of debt used to maintain liquidity and fund expansion of our real estate investment portfolio and operations. One of our interest rate risk management objectives is to limit the impact of interest rate changes on cash flows. To achieve this objective, we may borrow at fixed rates or fix the variable rates of interest on variable interest rate borrowings through the use of interest rate swaps and caps. We have and may continue to enter into derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swaps and caps in order to mitigate our interest rate risk on a related financial instrument. We will not enter into derivative or interest rate transactions for speculative purposes. We are exposed to credit risk of the counterparty to these contracts in the event of non-performance under the terms of the derivative contracts. In the event of non-performance by the counterparty, if we were not able to replace these contracts, we would be subject to the variability of interest rates on the total amount of debt outstanding under the mortgage.
At June 30, 2014, we had fixed-rate debt of $875.4 million and variable-rate debt of $1.4 billion, after adjusting for the $339.7 million notional amount of our interest rate swap contracts. If interest rates were to increase by 1% and all other variables were held constant, we would incur $14.2 million in additional annual interest expense associated with our variable-rate debt. Additionally, we have notional amounts of approximately $515.9 million in interest rate caps to cap our variable-rate debt. As of June 30, 2014, the variable interest rates did not exceed their capped interest rates.
Foreign Currency Risk
We currently have real estate investments located in countries outside of the U.S. that are subject to the effects of exchange rate movements between the foreign currency of each real estate investment and the U.S. dollar, which may affect future costs and cash flows as well as amounts translated into U.S. dollars for inclusion in our condensed consolidated financial statements. Generally, we have entered into mortgage loans denominated in foreign currencies for these investments, which provide natural hedges with regard to changes in exchange rates between the foreign currencies and U.S. dollar and reduces our exposure to exchange rate differences. Additionally, we are typically a net receiver of these foreign currencies, and, as a result, our foreign operations benefit from a weaker U.S. dollar and are adversely affected by a stronger U.S. dollar. The table below identifies the effect that a 10% immediate, unfavorable change in the exchange rates would have on our equity in these international real estate investments and their net income for the most recently completed period, by foreign currency (in thousands)(1):
|
| | | |
| Reduction in Book Value as of June 30, 2014 | | Reduction in Net Income (Loss) for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2014 |
AUD | $7,301 | | $140 |
EUR | $14,964 | | $1,157 |
GBP | $39,638 | | $2,195 |
| |
(1) | Our real estate assets in Moscow, Russia were purchased in U.S. dollars and we expect that when we dispose of these assets, the sale transactions will also be denominated in U.S. dollars. Accordingly, we do not expect to have rouble exposure upon disposition. |
Additionally, our Revolving Credit Facility allows for borrowings denominated in foreign currencies, which subject us to risks related to the effects of exchange rate movement. As of June 30, 2014, we had €30.0 million outstanding under our Revolving Credit Facility. Holding everything else constant, a 10% immediate, unfavorable change in the exchange rates between the Euro and the U.S. dollar would result in an increase of our principal balance by $4.1 million.
Other Risks
As described elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our Advisor has agreed to waive asset management fees otherwise payable to it for the year ended December 31, 2014 to the extent that our MFFO for the year ended December 31, 2014, as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for such year, amounts to less than 100% of the aggregate distributions declared to our stockholders for the year ended December 31, 2014. There can be no assurances that the expiration of this waiver at the end of 2014 will not negatively impact the cash available to pay distributions in future periods.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
In accordance with Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2014, to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Change in Internal Controls
No change occurred in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended June 30, 2014 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
PART II- OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
From time to time in the ordinary course of business, the Company or its subsidiaries may become subject to legal proceedings, claims or disputes. As of August 13, 2014, neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries was a party to any material pending legal proceedings.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
We are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, which are discussed in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. There are no material changes from the risk factors set forth under Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
During the three months ended June 30, 2014, we did not sell or issue any equity securities that were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
All eligible requests for redemption that were received for the three months ended June 30, 2014 were redeemed and the redemptions were funded with proceeds from our distribution reinvestment plan. The following table lists shares we redeemed under our share redemption program during the period covered by this report.

(1) | This amount represents the number of shares available for redemption on June 30, 2014. Our share redemption program was first announced at the commencement of our initial public offering in February 2009. Our share redemption program does not have a fixed expiration date, but it is subject to significant restrictions and limitations and our board of directors may terminate, suspend or amend the program without stockholder approval. We may redeem shares on a monthly basis if the shares were held for at least one year and meet certain other conditions. Any such redemptions will be limited to the amount required to redeem 5% of the shares outstanding as of the same date in the prior calendar year, and unless our board of directors determines otherwise, redemptions will be further limited to the amount of proceeds received from our distribution reinvestment plan in the month prior to the month in which the redemption request was received. Per the terms of our share redemption program, we may waive the one-year holding requirement and limitations described above for share redemption requests made in connection with the death or disability of a stockholder. |
