Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies The summary of significant accounting policies presented below is designed to assist in understanding our condensed consolidated financial statements. Such condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes are the representations of our management, who are responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (“GAAP”) in all material respects and have been consistently applied in preparing our accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. Basis of Presentation Our accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include our accounts and those of our subsidiaries and any consolidated variable interest entities (“VIEs”). All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. Interim Unaudited Financial Data Our accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by us in accordance with GAAP in conjunction with the rules and regulations of the SEC. Certain information and footnote disclosures required for annual financial statements have been condensed or excluded pursuant to SEC rules and regulations. Accordingly, our accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Our accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are, in our opinion, of a normal recurring nature and necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods. Interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year; such results may be less favorable for the full year. Our accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in our 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Principles of Consolidation The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of our subsidiaries and consolidated joint venture arrangements. The portions of the HTALP operating partnership not owned by us are presented as non-controlling interests in our consolidated balance sheets and statements of operations, consolidated statements of comprehensive income or loss, consolidated statements of equity, and consolidated statements of changes in partners’ capital. The portions of other joint venture arrangements not owned by us are presented as redeemable non-controlling interests on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. In addition, as described in Note 1 - Organization and Description of Business , certain third parties have been issued OP Units in HTALP. Holders of OP Units are considered to be noncontrolling interest holders in HTALP and their ownership interests are reflected as equity on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Further, a portion of the earnings and losses of HTALP are allocated to noncontrolling interest holders based on their respective ownership percentages. Upon conversion of OP Units to common stock, any difference between the fair value of the common stock issued and the carrying value of the OP Units converted to common stock is recorded as a component of equity. As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , there were approximately 3.9 million and 4.1 million , respectively, of OP Units issued and outstanding. VIEs are entities where investors lack sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support or where equity investors, as a group, lack one of the following: (i) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance; (ii) the obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity; and (iii) the right to receive the expected returns of the entity. We consolidate our investment in VIEs when we determine that we are the primary beneficiary. A primary beneficiary is one that has both: (i) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impacts the entity’s economic performance; and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could be significant to the entity. The HTALP operating partnership and our other joint venture arrangements are VIEs because the limited partners in those partnerships, although entitled to vote on certain matters, do not possess kick-out rights or substantive participating rights. Additionally, we determined that we are the primary beneficiary of our VIEs. Accordingly, we consolidate our interests in the HTALP operating partnership and in our other joint venture arrangements. However, because we hold what is deemed a majority voting interest in the HTALP operating partnership and our other joint venture arrangements, it qualifies for the exemption from providing certain disclosure requirements associated with investments in VIEs. We will evaluate on an ongoing basis the need to consolidate entities based on the standards set forth in GAAP as described above. Reclassification In November 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-18 Statement of Cash Flows: Restricted Cash. ASU 2016-18 requires that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents. Therefore, restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning of period and end of period amounts shown on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. We adopted ASU 2016-18 in the fourth quarter of 2017, as set forth in our 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K as of January1, 2017, and as a result of the adoption, the guidance requires retrospective adoption for all periods presented. The following table represents the previously reported balances and the reclassified balances for the impacted items for the six months ended June 30, 2017 in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of cash flows (in thousands): Six Months Ended June 30, 2017 As Previously Reported As Reclassified Cash flows from investing activities: Other assets (1) $ (19,362 ) $ — Net cash used in investing activities (2,312,640 ) (2,293,278 ) Net change in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash (2) $ 80,213 $ 99,575 Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash - beginning of period (2) 11,231 25,045 Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash - end of period (2) $ 91,444 $ 124,620 (1) Prior to adoption of ASU 2016-18, the line item description was “Restricted cash, escrow deposits and other assets”. (2) With the adoption of ASU 2016-18, the line item description now includes restricted cash. Assets Held for Sale We consider properties as held for sale once management commits to a plan to sell the property and has determined that the sale is probable and expected to occur within one year. Upon designation as held for sale, we record the property at the lower of its carrying amount or fair value, less costs to sell, and cease depreciation and amortization. Assets and liabilities of properties sold or classified as held for sale are separately identified on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. See Note 4 - Assets Held for Sale for more detail on assets held for sale. Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash Cash and cash equivalents consist of all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased. Restricted cash is comprised of reserve accounts for property taxes, insurance, capital improvements and tenant improvements as well as collateral accounts for debt and interest rate swaps and deposits for future investments. With our adoption of ASU 2016-18 in the fourth quarter of 2017, as set forth in our 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K as of January 1, 2017, the following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash reported within the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets to the combined amounts shown on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of cash flows (in thousands): June 30, 2018 2017 Cash and cash equivalents $ 26,191 $ 91,444 Restricted cash 13,414 33,176 Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash $ 39,605 $ 124,620 Revenue Recognition Minimum annual rental revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the related lease (including rent holidays). Differences between rental income recognized and amounts contractually due under the lease agreements are recorded as straight-line rent receivables. Tenant reimbursement revenue, which is comprised of additional amounts recoverable from tenants for real estate taxes, common area maintenance and other certain operating expenses are recognized as revenue on a gross basis in the period in which the related recoverable expenses are incurred. We accrue revenue corresponding to these expenses on a quarterly basis to adjust recorded amounts to our best estimate of the final annual amounts to be billed. Subsequent to year-end, on a calendar year basis, we perform reconciliations on a lease-by-lease basis and bill or credit each tenant for any differences between the estimated expenses we billed and the actual expenses that were incurred. We recognize lease termination fees when there is a signed termination letter agreement, all of the conditions of the agreement have been met, and the tenant is no longer occupying the property. Rental income is reported net of amortization of inducements. Effective January 1, 2018, with the adoption of Topic 606 and corresponding amendments, the revenue recognition process will be based on a five-step model to account for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most of the existing revenue recognition guidance. Topic 606 requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. We have identified all of our revenue streams and we have concluded that rental income from leasing arrangements represents a substantial portion of our revenue and, therefore, is specifically excluded from Topic 606 and will be governed and evaluated with the anticipated adoption of Topic 842. The other revenue stream identified as impacting Topic 606 is concentrated in the recognition of real estate sales and this component does not have a material impact on our financial statements. For more detailed information on Topic 606 see “Recently Issued or Adopted Accounting Pronouncements” below. Investments in Real Estate Depreciation expense of buildings and improvements for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 was $50.6 million and $39.0 million , respectively. Depreciation expense of buildings and improvements for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 , was $101.3 million and $71.7 million , respectively. Unconsolidated Joint Ventures We account for our investments in unconsolidated joint ventures using the equity method of accounting because we have the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over the financial and operational policy decisions of the investments. Using the equity method of accounting, the initial investment is recognized at cost and subsequently adjusted for our share of the net income or loss and any distributions from the joint venture. As of June 30, 2018 , we had a 50% interest in one such investment with a carrying value and maximum exposure to risk of $67.9 million , which is recorded in investment in unconsolidated joint venture in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. We record our share of net income (loss) in income (loss) from unconsolidated joint venture in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 , we recognized income of $0.4 million and $1.0 million from our unconsolidated joint venture, respectively. Our unconsolidated joint venture was acquired during the second quarter of 2017 and for the three months ended June 30, 2017 we recognized income of $63,000 . Recently Issued or Adopted Accounting Pronouncements The following table provides a brief description of recently adopted accounting pronouncements: Accounting Pronouncement Description Effective Date Effect on financial statements Topic 606; collectively, ASU 2014-09, 2015-14, ASU 2016-08, ASU 2016-10, ASU 2016-11, ASU 2016-12, ASU 2016-20, ASU 2017-05, ASU 2017-10, ASU 2017-13 and ASU 2017-14 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Issued May 2014, August 2015, March 2016, April 2016, May 2016, December 2016, February 2017, May 2017, September 2017 and November 2017) In May 2014, the FASB issued Topic 606. The objective of Topic 606 is to establish a comprehensive new five-step model requiring a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration (i.e., payment) to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Expanded quantitative and qualitative disclosures regarding revenue recognition will be required for contracts that are subject to Topic 606. Topic 606 does not apply to revenue from lease contracts until the adoption of the new leases standard in ASU 2016-02, in January 2019. ASU 2017-05 applies to all nonfinancial assets (including real estate) for which the counterparty is not a customer and requires an entity to derecognize a nonfinancial asset in a partial sale transaction when it ceases to have a controlling financial interest in the asset and has transferred control of the asset. Once an entity transfers control of the nonfinancial asset, the entity is required to measure any noncontrolling interest it receives or retains at fair value. Under the current guidance, a partial sale is recognized and carryover basis is used for the retained interest resulting in only partial gain recognition by the entity, however, the new guidance eliminates the use of carryover basis and generally requires the full gain to be recognized. In adopting Topic 606, companies may use either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach. Topic 606 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 along with the right of early adoption as of the original effective date. We adopted Topic 606 effective January 1, 2018 to all open contracts using the modified retrospective approach. As part of the adoption, we identified all revenue streams and concluded that revenues from leasing arrangements represented substantially all of our revenue and is generally excluded from the scope of Topic 606. Rather, rental revenue, including any executory type costs, will be governed and evaluated with the adoption of Topic 842 as described below. In addition, under Topic 606, revenue recognition for real estate sales will be substantially based on a principles-based approach to determine whether there has been transfer of control versus continuing involvement under the current guidance. There have not been, nor do we anticipate, any reclassifications or material impacts on our consolidated financial statements as a result of this adoption. ASU 2017-09 Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Clarifying the Scope of Modification (Issued May 2017) ASU 2017-09 amends the scope of modification accounting for share-based payment arrangements and provides guidance on the types of changes to the terms and conditions of share-based payment awards to which an entity would be required to apply modification accounting under ASC 718. ASU 2017-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 with early adoption permitted. We adopted ASU 2017-09 as of January 1, 2018. There have not been, nor do we anticipate, any reclassifications or material impacts on our consolidated financial statements as a result of this adoption. ASU 2017-12 Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities (Issued August 2017) ASU 2017-12 expands and refines hedge accounting for both financial (e.g., interest rate) and non-financial risk components, aligns the recognition and presentation of the effects of hedging instruments and hedge items in the financial statements, and includes certain targeted improvements to ease the application of current guidance related to the assessment of hedge effectiveness. ASU 2017-12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 with early adoption permitted. We adopted ASU 2017-12 as of January 1, 2018. Using the modified retrospective approach, the cumulative effect of the ineffective ness for the year ended December 31, 2017 was immaterial; therefore, no adjustment was made to beginning retained earnings. Additionally, as a result of the adoption, we no longer disclose the ineffective portion of the change in fair value of our derivative financial instruments. The entire change in the fair value of the hedging instruments included in the assessment of hedge effectiveness will now be recorded in other comprehensive income and subsequently reclassified to interest expense in the period the hedging instrument affects earnings. The following table provides a brief description of recently issued accounting pronouncements: Accounting Pronouncement Description Effective Date Effect on financial statements Topic 842; collectively ASU 2016-02, 2018-01 and 2018-11 Leases (Issued February 2016, January 2018 and July 2018) In February 2016, the FASB issued Topic 842. Topic 842 will supersede the existing guidance for lease accounting and states that companies will be required to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. Topic 842 requires qualitative and quantitative disclosures to supplement the amounts recorded in the financial statements so that users can understand the nature of the entity’s leasing activities, including significant judgments and changes in judgments. ASU 2018-01 provides an optional transition practical expedient to not evaluate under Topic 842 existing or expired land easements that were not previously accounted for as leases under the current lease guidance in Topic 840. An entity that elects this practical expedient should evaluate new or modified land easements under Topic 842 beginning at the date the entity adopts Topic 842; otherwise, an entity should evaluate all existing or expired land easements in connection with the adoption of the new lease requirements in Topic 842 to assess whether they meet the definition of a lease. Within Topic 842, lessor accounting remained fairly unchanged. In adopting Topic 842, companies will be required to either use a modified retrospective approach for leases that exist or are entered into after the beginning of the earliest comparative period in the financial statements or with the adoption of ASU 2018-11, an optional transition method whereby an entity initially applies the new lease standard at the adoption date and recognizes a cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. Topic 842 is effective for the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 with early adoption permitted. We will adopt the provisions of Topic 842 as of January 1, 2019. We anticipate that we will elect (a) the practical expedient offered that allows an entity to not reassess upon adoption (i) whether an expired or existing contract contains a lease arrangement, (ii) lease classification related to expired or existing lease arrangements, or (iii) whether costs incurred on expired or existing leases qualify as initial direct costs, and (b) as part of ASU 2018-11, the practical expedient to not separate certain non-lease components, such as common area maintenance from lease revenue if (i) the timing and pattern of revenue recognition are the same for the non-lease component, and (ii) the related lease component and the combined single lease component would be classified as an operating lease. As part of the adoption, all leases for which we are the lessee, including ground leases and certain other corporate leases, will be recorded in our consolidated financial statements as either financing or operating leases with corresponding right of use assets and lease liability obligations. Management has commenced the reevaluation of all leases where we are the lessee to determine (a) the total future lease payments, including an assessment of the availability and likelihood of our exercising extension options available to us under the terms of the respective leases, (b) an appropriate incremental borrowing rate in light of the extended term of our ground leases, and (c) an abstract of all applicable lease provisions that may cause the treatment of these leases to be classified differently under ASC 842 than what they are currently being classified as under current accounting guidance. We anticipate that our assessment will be concluded by December 31, 2018 and that we will have evaluated all leases sufficiently to provide a range of potential impact to our financial statements. Further, with respect to initial direct costs, we are currently assessing the projected impact to the accounting of such costs, including the impact of potential changes to our use of internal and external leasing and leasing-related personnel, potential changes in compensation structures to such individuals, and other considerations of related costs that could have an impact to our financial statements. For the six months ended June 30, 2018, we have capitalized approximately $2.2 million of internal initial direct costs (as defined by the current lease standard, ASC 840 - Leases). Upon the adoption of Topic 842, these internal initial direct costs will either in part or in their entirety be classified as selling or general and administrative costs on our consolidated results of operations, depending on the finalization of our assessment of the impact of such adoption. ASU 2016-13 Financial Instruments Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (Issued June 2016) ASU 2016-13 is intended to improve financial reporting by requiring more timely recognition of credit losses on loans and other financial instruments that are not accounted for at fair value through net income, including loans held for investment, held-to-maturity debt securities, trade and other receivables, net investment in leases and other such commitments. ASU 2016-13 requires that financial statement assets measured at an amortized cost be presented at the net amount expected to be collected through an allowance for credit losses that is deducted from the amortized cost basis. ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 with early adoption permitted. We do not anticipate early adoption or there to be a material impact, however, we are evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2016-13 on our consolidated financial statements. Accounting Pronouncement Description Effective Date Effect on financial statements ASU 2018-07 Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting (Issued June 2018) ASU 2018-07 expands the scope of Topic 718 and the amendments specify that Topic 718 applies to all share-based payment transactions in which a grantor acquires goods or services to be used or consumed in a grantor’s own operations by issuing share-based payment awards. The amendments also clarify that Topic 718 does not apply to share-based payments used to effectively provide (i) financing to the issuer or (ii) awards granted in conjunction with selling goods or services to customers as part of a contract accounted for under Topic 606. ASU 2018-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 with early adoption permitted, but not earlier than an entity’s adoption date of Topic 606. We will adopt ASU 2018-07 as of January 1, 2019. We do not expect there to be a material impact to our consolidated financial statements and related notes. |
