NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018 and 2017
1. ORGANIZATION
The accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial information has been prepared according to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In the opinion of management, all adjustments and eliminations, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly and in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) the financial position of Hines Global Income Trust, Inc. as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 have been included. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted according to such rules and regulations. For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes included in Hines Global Income Trust, Inc.’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.
Hines Global Income Trust, Inc. (the “Company”), formerly known as Hines Global REIT II, Inc., was incorporated in Maryland on July 31, 2013, to invest in a diversified portfolio of quality commercial real estate properties and other real estate investments throughout the United States and internationally, and to a lesser extent, invest in real-estate related securities. The Company is sponsored by Hines Interests Limited Partnership (“Hines”), a fully integrated global real estate investment and management firm that has acquired, developed, owned, operated and sold real estate for over 60 years. The Company is managed by Hines Global REIT II Advisors LP (the “Advisor”), an affiliate of Hines. The Company intends to conduct substantially all of its operations through Hines Global REIT II Properties, LP (the “Operating Partnership”). An affiliate of the Advisor, Hines Global REIT II Associates LP, owns less than a 1% limited partner interest in the Operating Partnership as of September 30, 2018 and the Advisor also owns the special limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership. The Company has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, for U.S. federal income tax purposes beginning with its taxable year ended December 31, 2015.
As of September 30, 2018, the Company owned direct real estate investments in eight properties totaling 2.8 million square feet that were 97% leased. The Company raises capital for its investments through public offerings of its common stock. The Company commenced its initial public offering of up to $2.5 billion in shares of its common stock (the “Initial Offering”) in August 2014, and commenced its second public offering of up to $2.5 billion in shares of common stock including $500.0 million of shares offered under its distribution reinvestment plan (the “Follow-On Offering”) in December 2017. As of November 1, 2018, the Company had received gross offering proceeds of $449.7 million from the sale of 45.8 million shares through its public offerings, including shares issued pursuant to its distribution reinvestment plan.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q include the accounts of Hines Global Income Trust, Inc. and the Operating Partnership (over which the Company exercises financial and operating control). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Tenant and Other Receivables
Tenant and other receivable balances consist primarily of base rents, tenant reimbursements and receivables attributable to straight-line rent. Straight-line rent receivables were $4.8 million and $4.0 million as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, 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 condensed balance sheets.
Additionally, as of December 31, 2017, tenant and other receivables included $2.3 million in receivables from third-parties related to working capital reserves and transactions costs related to the acquisition of the Queen’s Court Student Residences. There were no such receivables remaining as of September 30, 2018.

Revenue Recognition
The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued accounting standards update ("ASU") 2014-09 which superseded the revenue recognition requirements under previous guidance. We adopted ASU 2014-09 on January 1, 2018. ASU 2014-09 requires the use of a new five-step model to recognize revenue from contracts with customers. The five-step model requires that the Company identify the contract with the customer, identify the performance obligations in the contract, determine the transaction price, allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and recognize revenue when it satisfies the performance obligations. Management has concluded that the majority of the Company’s total revenue, with the exception of gains and losses from the sale of real estate, consist of rental income from leasing arrangements, which is specifically excluded from the standard. Excluding gains and losses on the sale of real estate (as discussed further below), the Company concluded that its remaining revenue streams were immaterial and, as such, the adoption of ASU 2014-09 did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
As of January 1, 2018, the Company began accounting for the sale of real estate properties under ASU 2017-05 and provides for revenue recognition based on completed performance obligations, which typically occurs upon the transfer of ownership of a real estate asset. The Company sold 2819 Loker Avenue East on March 30, 2018, which was considered a non-financial real estate asset with no performance obligations subsequent to the transfer of ownership. The Company recognized a gain on sale of real estate of $14.5 million related to this sale. The Company has had no other sales of real estate assets since its inception.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the FASB, issued ASU 2014-09 to provide guidance on recognizing revenue from contracts with customers. This ASU’s core objective is for an entity to recognize revenue based on the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for goods or services. The Company has evaluated controls around the implementation of ASU 2014-09 and there was no significant impact on our control structure. See “— Revenue Recognition” above for additional information regarding the adoption of this standard.
In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16 which removes the prohibition in ASC 740 against the immediate recognition of the current and deferred income tax effects of intra-entity transfers of assets other than inventory. The ASU is intended to reduce the complexity of ASC 740 and the diversity in practice related to the tax consequences of certain types of intra-entity asset transfers. ASU 2016-16 will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 31, 2017. The Company adopted ASU 2016-16 beginning January 1, 2018 and recorded deferred tax assets, along with a full valuation allowance, related to its subsidiaries in Ireland.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01 to clarify the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets
or businesses. The Company expects that most of its real estate transactions completed after January 1, 2018 will be accounted for using the asset acquisition guidance and, accordingly, acquisition fees (if any) and expenses related to those acquisitions will be capitalized. The amendments to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification were effective for public entities for annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company adopted ASU 2017-01 on January 1, 2018.
In February 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-05 to clarify that a financial asset is within the scope of Subtopic 610-20 if it meets the definition, as amended, of an in substance nonfinancial asset. The provisions of ASU 2017-05 are effective for the Company as of January 1, 2018 as described above in “— Revenue Recognition.”
New Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 which will require companies that lease assets to recognize on the balance sheet the right-of-use assets and related lease liabilities. The accounting by companies that own the assets leased by the lessee (the lessor) will remain largely unchanged from current GAAP. The new standard requires a modified retrospective transition approach for all leases existing at, or entered into after, the date of initial application, with an option to use certain transition relief. The guidance is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted.
In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, which allows lessors to account for lease and non-lease components by class of underlying assets, as a single lease component if certain criteria are met. Also, the new standard indicates that companies are permitted to recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption in lieu of the modified retrospective approach and provides other optional practical expedients.
The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2016-02 will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements relating to its leases, regardless of whether it is the lessor or the lessee. For leases in which the Company is the lessor, it is entitled to receive tenant reimbursements for operating expenses such as real estate taxes, insurance and common area maintenance, of which it expects to account for these lease and non-lease components as a single lease component since the timing and pattern of transfer is the same in accordance with ASU 2018-11. The Company has currently identified certain areas the Company believes may be impacted by the adoption of ASU 2016-02, which include:
| |
• | From time to time, the Company may have ground lease agreements in which the Company is the lessee of the land at its investment properties that the Company would account for as an operating lease. Upon adoption of ASU 2016-02, the Company will record any rights and obligations under these leases as an asset and liability at fair value in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. |
| |
• | Determination of costs to be capitalized associated with leases. ASU 2016-02 will limit the capitalization associated with certain costs to costs that are a direct result of obtaining a lease. |

5. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
The Company has entered into several interest rate cap contracts in connection with certain of its secured mortgage loans in order to limit its exposure against the variability of future interest rates on its variable interest rate borrowings. The Company’s interest rate cap contracts have economically limited the interest rate on the loan to which they relate. The Company has not designated these derivatives as hedges for accounting purposes. The Company has not entered into a master netting arrangement with its third-party counterparty and does not offset on its condensed consolidated balance sheets the fair value amount recorded for its derivative instruments.
The Company has also entered into foreign currency forward contracts as economic hedges against the variability of foreign exchange rates related to its international investments. These forward contracts 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. In September 2018, the Company entered into a €43.0 million foreign currency forward contract with an effective date of September 28, 2018 and a trade date of October 1, 2018, in connection with the purchase of Fresh Park Venlo. See Note 12—Subsequent Events for additional information regarding the purchase of Fresh Park Venlo.

Distributions
With the authorization of the Company’s board of directors, the Company declared distributions monthly from January 2018 through November 2018 at a gross distribution rate of $0.05083 per month for each share class, less any applicable distribution and stockholder servicing fees.
Distributions will be made on all classes of the Company’s common stock at the same time. All distributions were paid in cash or reinvested in shares of the Company’s common stock for those participating in the Company’s distribution reinvestment plan and have been paid or issued, respectively, on the first business day following the completion of the month to which they relate. Distributions reinvested pursuant to the Company’s distribution reinvestment plan were reinvested in shares of the same class as the shares on which the distributions were made. Some or all of the cash distributions may be paid from sources other than cash flows from operations.
The following table outlines the Company’s total cash distributions declared to stockholders for each of the quarters ended during 2018 and 2017, including the breakout between the distributions declared in cash and those reinvested pursuant to the Company’s distribution reinvestment plan (in thousands).

(1) | Includes amounts the Advisor paid on behalf of the Company such as general and administrative expenses and acquisition-related expenses. These amounts are generally reimbursed to the Advisor during the month following the period in which they are incurred. |
| |
(2) | As of December 6, 2017, through its ownership of the special limited partner interest in the Operating Partnership, the Advisor is entitled to an annual performance participation allocation of 12.5% of the Operating Partnership’s total return. Total return is defined as distributions paid or accrued plus the change in net asset value of the Company’s shares of common stock for the applicable period. This performance participation allocation is subject to investors earning a 5% return, after considering the effect of any losses carried forward from the prior period (as defined in the Operating Partnership agreement). The performance participation allocation accrues monthly and is payable after the completion of each calendar year. |
| |
(3) | Includes amounts paid related to the Hines Credit Facility. |
8. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Fair values determined by Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities the Company has the ability to access. Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs utilize inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets and inputs other than quoted prices observable for the asset or liability, such as interest rates and yield curves observable at commonly quoted intervals. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. In instances in which the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety has been determined is based on the lowest level input significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.
As of September 30, 2018, the Company estimated that the fair value of its notes payable, excluding deferred financing costs, which had a book value of $482.5 million, was $476.2 million. As of December 31, 2017, the Company estimated that the fair value of its notes payable, excluding deferred financing costs, which had a book value of $379.3 million, was $376.5 million. Management has utilized available market information such as interest rate and spread assumptions of notes payable with similar terms and remaining maturities, to estimate the amounts required to be disclosed. Although the Company has determined that 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, the Company has assessed the significance of the impact of the credit quality adjustments on the overall valuations of the fair market value of its notes payable and has determined they are not significant. Other financial instruments not measured at fair value on a recurring basis include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, 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 inputs are utilized to estimate the fair value of the cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and Level 2 inputs are utilized to estimate the fair value of the remaining financial instruments.
9. REPORTABLE SEGMENTS
As described previously, the Company intends to invest the net proceeds from its public offerings in a diversified portfolio of quality commercial real estate properties and other real estate investments throughout the United States and internationally. The Company’s current business consists of owning, operating, acquiring, developing, investing in, and disposing of real estate assets. All of the Company’s consolidated revenues and property operating expenses as of September 30, 2018 are from the Company’s consolidated real estate properties owned as of that date, other than 2819 Loker Avenue East, which was sold on March 30, 2018. As a result, the Company’s operating segments have been classified into six reportable segments: domestic office investments, domestic residential/living investments, domestic retail investments, domestic other investments, international office investments, and international residential/living investments.
The tables below provide additional information related to each of the Company’s segments (in thousands) and a reconciliation to the Company’s net income (loss), as applicable. “Corporate-Level Accounts” includes amounts incurred by the corporate-level entities which are not allocated to any of the reportable segments.

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.
12. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Fresh Park Venlo
In October 2018, the Company acquired a leasehold interest in Fresh Park Venlo, a specialized logistics park located in Venlo, the Netherlands. Fresh Park Venlo is comprised of 23 buildings constructed between 1960 and 2018, and consists of 2,863,630 square feet of net rentable area that is, in the aggregate, 95% leased to more than 60 tenants. The purchase price for Fresh Park Venlo was €117.5 million (approximately $136.3 million assuming a rate of $1.16 per EUR as of the acquisition date), exclusive of transaction costs and working capital reserves. In connection with the acquisition of the property, the Company entered into a third-party mortgage loan for the principal sum of approximately €75.0 million (approximately $87.0 million assuming a rate of $1.16 per EUR as of the acquisition date). The mortgage loan has a floating interest rate of Euribor + 1.50% per annum. Repayment of principal is due upon the maturity of the mortgage loan on August 15, 2023.

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, 2017.
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 (the “Securities Act”), 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 II Advisors LP (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 other programs sponsored by or affiliated with 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 offering, as well as cash from the waiver of fees by our Advisor, 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, cash resulting from a waiver or deferral of fees, borrowings and/or proceeds from the offering. When we pay distributions from 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; |

The Company
Hines Global Income Trust, Inc. (“Hines Global”), formerly known as Hines Global REIT II, Inc., was formed as a Maryland corporation on July 31, 2013, for the purpose of investing in a diversified portfolio of quality commercial real estate properties and other real estate investments located throughout the United States and internationally, and to a lesser extent, invest in real-estate related securities. Hines Global is sponsored by Hines Interests Limited Partnership (“Hines”), a fully integrated global real estate investment and management firm that has acquired, developed, owned, operated and sold real estate for over 60 years. The Company has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes beginning with its taxable year ended December 31, 2015.
We raise capital for our investments through public offerings of our common stock. We commenced our initial public offering of up to $2.5 billion in shares of our common stock (the “Initial Offering”) in August 2014 and commenced our second public offering of up to $2.5 billion in shares of common stock including $500.0 million of shares offered under our distribution reinvestment plan (the “Follow-On Offering”) in December 2017. It is our intention to conduct a continuous offering for an indefinite period of time by conducting additional offerings of our shares following the conclusion of the Follow-On Offering. As of November 1, 2018, we had received gross offering proceeds of $449.7 million from the sale of 45.8 million shares through our public offerings, including shares issued pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan.
Portfolio Highlights
We intend to meet our primary investment objectives by investing in a portfolio of real estate properties and other real estate investments that relate to properties that are generally diversified by geographic area, lease expirations and tenant industries. As of September 30, 2018 and including the effect of the acquisition of Fresh Park Venlo in October 2018, we owned nine real estate investments consisting of 5.7 million square feet that were 96% leased.
Recent Dispositions of Investment Property
We sold 2819 Loker Avenue East on March 30, 2018 for a contract sales price of $38.3 million. We acquired 2819 Loker Avenue East in December 2014 for a net purchase price of $25.4 million and recognized a $14.5 million gain on the sale.
Recent Acquisitions of Investment Property
We acquired Venue Museum District in September 2018 for a contract purchase price of $72.9 million, exclusive of transaction costs and closing prorations.
In October 2018, we acquired a leasehold interest in Fresh Park Venlo, a specialized logistics park located in Venlo, the Netherlands. The purchase price for Fresh Park Venlo was €117.5 million (approximately $136.3 million assuming a rate of $1.16 per EUR as of the acquisition date), exclusive of transaction costs and working capital reserves. See “—Subsequent Events” for additional information regarding the purchase of Fresh Park Venlo.
The following chart depicts the percentage of our portfolio’s investment types based on the estimated value of each real estate investment as of September 30, 2018 (“Estimated Values”), which are consistent with the values used to determine our net asset value per share on that date, for properties acquired prior to September 30, 2018 and as of the date of acquisition with respect to Fresh Park Venlo, which was acquired on October 5, 2018.
The following charts depict the location of our real estate investments as of September 30, 2018 and also includes the effect of the acquisition of Fresh Park Venlo, which was acquired on October 5, 2018. Approximately 56% of our portfolio is located throughout the United States and approximately 44% is located internationally, based on the Estimated Values, and including the effect of the acquisition of Fresh Park Venlo.
The following table provides additional information regarding each of our properties and is presented as of September 30, 2018 for properties acquired prior to September 30, 2018 and as of the date of acquisition with respect to Fresh Park Venlo, which was acquired on October 5, 2018.

(1) | 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. |
| |
(2) | 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 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, including the assumption that the tenants will perform under their lease agreements during the 12 months following our acquisition of the properties and assumptions concerning estimates of timing and rental rates related to re-leasing vacant space. |
NAV and Distributions
We began determining a net asset value (“NAV”) per share on a monthly basis as of the end of January 2018. Our NAV per share has increased from $9.69 as of August 31, 2017 to $9.94 as of September 30, 2018 as illustrated in the chart below. Set forth below is additional information regarding our NAV per share since February 29, 2016 (the date as of which our board of directors first determined an NAV per share).
| |
1. | Please see our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on October 17, 2018 for additional information concerning the methodology used to determine, and the limitations of, the NAV per share as of September 30, 2018. Please see our Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the years ended December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2017 as well as our Current Reports on Form 8-K for additional information concerning the NAV per share determined as of prior dates. |
| |
2. | Our board of directors determined an NAV per share of $9.03 as of February 29, 2016. Prior thereto, $8.92 was considered to be the “net investment value” of our shares, which was equal to the offering price per share of $10.00 in effect at that time, as arbitrarily determined by our board of directors, net of the applicable selling commissions, dealer manager fees and issuer costs. |
Set forth below is information regarding our gross annualized distribution rate, excluding any applicable distribution and stockholder servicing fees, since October 1, 2014 (the date our board first authorized distributions to be declared). As illustrated in the chart below, we maintained our gross annualized distribution rate of $0.61 per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018.
| |
1. | With the authorization of our board of directors, we declared distributions as of daily record dates and paid them on a monthly basis through December 31, 2017. Beginning in January 2018, we have and intend to continue to declare distributions as of monthly record dates and pay them on a monthly basis. |
| |
2. | We have not generated and we may continue to be unable to generate sufficient cash flows from operations to fully fund distributions paid. Therefore, some or all of our distributions have been and may continue to be paid, and during the offering phase, are likely to be paid at least partially from other sources, such as proceeds from the sales of assets, proceeds from our debt financings, proceeds from our public offerings, cash advances by our Advisor and/or cash resulting from a waiver or deferral of fees. See “— Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources” for additional information concerning our distributions. |
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. For a discussion of recent accounting pronouncements, see Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. Also, a disclosure of our critical accounting policies is included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. There have been no significant changes to our policies during 2018.
Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal demands for funds are to make real estate investments, including capital expenditures, for the payment of operating expenses and distributions, and for the payment of principal and interest on any indebtedness we incur. Generally, we expect to meet operating cash needs from our cash flows from operating activities, and we expect to fund our investments using proceeds of our public offerings, debt proceeds and proceeds from the sales of real estate investments.
We expect that once we have fully invested the proceeds of our public 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 40% to 60% of the aggregate value of our real estate investments and other assets. Financing for acquisitions and investments may be obtained at the time an asset is acquired or an investment is made or at such later time as determined to be appropriate. In addition, debt financing may be used from time to time for property improvements, lease inducements, tenant improvements, purchase of real estate-related securities and other working capital needs. Additionally, the amount of debt placed on an individual property or related to a particular investment, including our pro rata share of the amount of debt incurred by an individual entity in which we invest, may be less than 40% or more than 60% of the value of such property/investment or the value of the assets owned by such entity, depending on market conditions and other factors. Our aggregate borrowings, secured and unsecured, must be reasonable in relation to our net assets and must be reviewed by our board of directors at least quarterly. As of September 30, 2018 and including the effect of our acquisition of Fresh Park Venlo in October 2018, our portfolio was approximately 58% leveraged, based on the Estimated Values of our real estate investments owned as of September 30, 2018 and the purchase price for Fresh Park Venlo.
Notwithstanding the above, depending on market conditions and other factors, we may choose not to place debt on our portfolio or our assets and may choose not to borrow to finance our operations or to acquire properties. Any indebtedness we do incur will likely be subject to continuing covenants, and we will likely be required to make continuing representations and warranties about our company in connection with such debt. Moreover, some or all of our debt may be secured by some or all of our assets. If we default in the payment of interest or principal on any such debt, breach any representation or warranty in connection with any borrowing or violate any covenant in any loan document, our lender may accelerate the maturity of such debt requiring us to immediately repay all outstanding principal. If we are unable to make such payment, our lender could foreclose on our assets that are pledged as collateral to such lender. The lender could also sue us or force us into bankruptcy. Any such event would have a material adverse effect on the value of an investment in our common shares.
The discussions below provide additional details regarding our cash flows.
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Our 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. Additionally, we incur corporate level costs and expenses such as general and administrative expenses, acquisition expenses and acquisition fees (prior to January 2018), asset management fees, and the performance participation allocation.
Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 increased by $8.5 million as compared to the same period in the prior year, which is primarily due to a reduction in acquisition-related fees and expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. We acquired two properties during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, and acquired one property during the nine months ended September 30, 2018. We paid $8.7 million in acquisition-related fees and expenses during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 that reduced operating cash flows.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 were primarily due to the following:
Nine months ended September 30, 2018
| |
• | Payment of $72.1 million primarily related to the acquisition of Venue Museum District. |
| |
• | Capital expenditures of approximately $10.9 million primarily related to development work at Bishop’s Square and various capital improvements at our other properties. With respect to the development works at Bishop’s Square, we expect the total construction costs to approximate €13.9 million (approximately $16.1 million assuming a rate of $1.16 per EUR as of September 30, 2018) and for the development works to be completed in the first quarter of 2019. |
| |
• | We received proceeds of $37.1 million from the sale of 2819 Loker Avenue East, a Class–A industrial property located in Carlsbad, California, on March 30, 2018. We sold 2819 Loker Avenue East for a contract sales price of $38.3 million and we acquired 2819 Loker Avenue East in December 2014 for a net purchase price of $25.4 million. |
Nine months ended September 30, 2017
| |
• | Payment of $131.8 million related to the acquisition of Rookwood Commons and Rookwood Pavilion and the Montrose Student Residences. |
| |
• | Capital expenditures of approximately $1.3 million primarily related to parking upgrades at Cottonwood Corporate Center and the development works at Bishop’s Square. |
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Public Offerings
During the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, we raised gross proceeds of $18.0 million and $137.1 million, respectively, from our public offerings, excluding proceeds from the distribution reinvestment plan. We recently commenced our Follow-On Offering, and have not yet raised significant gross proceeds related to our Follow-On Offering in 2018. In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, we redeemed $8.5 million and $1.6 million shares of our common stock pursuant to our share redemption program, respectively. The increase in share redemptions is primarily due to our restructuring in 2017 and related modification to our share redemption program, which increased the number of shares that may be redeemed in each period.
In addition to the investing activities described previously, we have used proceeds from our public offerings to make certain payments to our Advisor, our Dealer Manager and Hines and their affiliates during the various phases of our organization and operation which include, without limitation, payments to our Dealer Manager for selling commissions, dealer manager fees, distribution and stockholder servicing fees and payments to our Advisor for reimbursement of organization and offering costs. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, we made payments of $2.2 million and $6.5 million, respectively, for selling commissions, dealer manager fees, distribution and stockholder servicing fees related to our public offerings. The decrease in selling commissions, dealer manager fees and distribution and stockholder servicing fees for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 as compared to the same period in 2017 is due to the reduction of capital raised and our restructuring and related modifications in our Follow-On Offering, which includes a reduction of the selling commissions, dealer manager fees and distribution and stockholder servicing fees payable to the Dealer Manager in connection with the Follow-On Offering as compared to those charged on shares issued during our Initial Offering.
Through December 5, 2017, we also used proceeds from the Initial Offering to make payments to our Advisor for the reimbursement of organization and offering costs that were deemed issuer costs. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we reimbursed our Advisor $3.4 million for these organization and offering costs. Effective December 6, 2017, the Advisor agreed to advance all of our organization and offering costs, consisting of issuer costs and certain underwriting costs (but excluding selling commissions, dealer manager fees and distribution and stockholder servicing fees) related to our public
offerings, through December 31, 2018. We will reimburse the Advisor for all such advanced expenses, as well as any organization and offering costs incurred in prior periods related to our Initial Offering, ratably from 2019 through 2023, to the extent cumulative organization and offering costs do not exceed an amount equal to 2.5% of gross offering proceeds from our public offerings. The total reimbursement related to organization and offering costs, selling commissions, dealer manager fees and distribution and stockholder servicing fees may not exceed 15.0% of gross proceeds from our public offerings.
Distributions
With the authorization of our board of directors, we declared distributions as of daily record dates and paid them on a monthly basis through December 31, 2017. Beginning in January 2018, we have and intend to continue to declare distributions as of monthly record dates and pay them on a monthly basis. With the authorization of our board of directors, we declared monthly distributions from January 2018 through November 2018 at a gross distribution rate of $0.05083 per month for each share class less any applicable distribution and stockholder servicing fees. Distributions will be made on all classes of the Company’s common stock at the same time. All distributions were or will be paid in cash or reinvested in shares of the Company’s common stock for those participating in the Company’s distribution reinvestment plan and have been or will be paid or issued, respectively, on the first business day following the completion of the month to which they relate. Distributions reinvested pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan were or will be reinvested in shares of the same class as the shares on which the distributions are made. Some or all of the cash distributions may be paid from sources other than cash flows from operations.
Distributions paid to stockholders during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 were $16.6 million and $13.5 million, respectively, including those reinvested in shares pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan. We have not generated and we may continue to be unable to generate sufficient cash flows from operations to fully fund distributions paid. Therefore, some or all of our distributions have been and may continue to be paid and during the offering phase, are likely to be paid at least partially from other sources, such as proceeds from the sales of assets, proceeds from our debt financings, proceeds from our public offerings, cash advances by our Advisor and/or cash resulting from a waiver or deferral of fees. We have not placed a cap on the amount of distributions that may be paid from any of these sources. For example, for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017, we funded 26% and 39% of total distributions with cash flows from other sources such as cash flows from investing activities, which may include proceeds from the sale of real estate and/or cash flows from financing activities, which may include offering proceeds. As described previously, we paid acquisition fees and acquisition-related expenses of $8.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. Acquisition fees and acquisition-related expenses were expensed prior to our adoption of ASU 2017-01 on January 1, 2018 and therefore reduced cash flows from operating activities for that period. However, we funded such acquisition fees and acquisition-related expenses with proceeds from our public offerings and/or acquisition-related indebtedness.
The following table outlines our total distributions declared to stockholders for each of the quarters during 2018 and 2017, including the breakout between the distributions declared in cash and those reinvested pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan (in thousands, except percentages).

(3) | Decrease is due to a decline in revenue during the three months ended September 30, 2018, as compared to the same period in 2017 as a result of a tenant’s lease expiration in August 2017 without renewal. |
The following table presents the property-level revenues in excess of expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, as compared to the same period in 2017, by reportable segment. Same-store properties for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 includes four properties that were 98% leased as of September 30, 2018 compared to 97% leased as of September 30, 2017. In total, property revenues in excess of expenses of the same-store properties changed by an insignificant amount for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 as compared to the same period in 2017. Therefore, changes in our property revenues in excess of expenses are primarily related to our recent acquisitions.
Below is additional information regarding our same-store results and other financial results with variances from the comparative period. All amounts are in thousands, except for percentages:

Depreciation and amortization: Depreciation and amortization expense decreased for the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2017 primarily due to fully amortized in-place lease intangibles.
Acquisition related expenses: Acquisition related expenses represent third-party costs related to the acquisition of our real estate investments, including those properties which we may acquire in future periods. These costs vary significantly from one acquisition to the next and generally tend to be higher for our international acquisitions. Additionally, on January 1, 2018 we adopted ASU 2017-01, pursuant to which acquisition fees and expenses related to these real estate investments are to be capitalized and not expensed. As a result, beginning in January 2018, only dead-deal costs will be expensed. We expect such costs to be significantly lower than amounts recorded in prior periods.
Performance participation allocation: We accrued $1.2 million related to the performance participation allocation as a result of the total return being greater than the 5% hurdle amount during the three months ended September 30, 2018. The performance participation allocation accrues monthly and is payable after the completion of each calendar year. See Note 7—Related Party Transactions, for additional information regarding the performance participation allocation. The Operating Partnership Agreement was amended effective December 2017 to provide for the performance participation allocation. As a result, there was no performance participation allocation for the three months ended September 30, 2017. Interest expense: Interest expense increased for the three months ended September 30, 2018 as a result of an increase in our principal outstanding during the periods.
Benefit (provision) for income taxes: Provision for income taxes changed from a $385,000 benefit for the three months ended September 30, 2017 to a $119,000 provision for the three months ended September 30, 2018 as a result of changes in our deferred tax assets and liabilities related to book / tax timing differences at our international subsidiaries.

As a result, beginning in January 2018, only dead-deal costs will be expensed. We expect such costs to be significantly lower than amounts recorded in prior periods.
Asset management and acquisition fees: We incurred acquisition fees during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as a result of our acquisitions of real estate investments during that period. Effective as of December 6, 2017, we no longer pay acquisition fees to our Advisor. Asset management fees were comparable in both periods.
Performance participation allocation: We accrued $4.0 million related to the performance participation allocation as a result of the total return being greater than the 5% hurdle amount during the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The performance participation allocation accrues monthly and is payable after the completion of each calendar year. See Note 7—Related Party Transactions, for additional information regarding the performance participation allocation. The Operating Partnership Agreement was amended effective December 2017 to provide for the performance participation allocation. As a result, there was no performance participation allocation for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. Gain on sale of real estate: We sold 2819 Loker Avenue East for a contract sales price of $38.3 million on March 30, 2018 and we acquired 2819 Loker Avenue East in December 2014 for a net purchase price of $25.4 million. We recognized a gain of $14.5 million related to this sale. We had no property dispositions during the nine months ended September 30, 2017.
Interest expense: Interest expense increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 as a result of an increase in our principal outstanding during the periods.
Benefit (provision) for income taxes: Provision for income taxes changed from a $614,000 benefit for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 to a $138,000 provision for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 as a result of changes in our deferred tax assets and liabilities related to book / tax timing differences at our international subsidiaries.
Funds from Operations
We believe funds from operations (“FFO”) is a meaningful supplemental non-GAAP operating metric. FFO is a non-GAAP financial performance measure defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) and is 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 we may not recover any impairment charges.
FFO 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 should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) or income (loss) from continuing operations as an indication of our performance or as an alternative 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 is not intended to be used as a liquidity measure 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 FFO:
| |
• | FFO includes costs related to our acquisitions, including acquisition fees payable to our Advisor. Although these amounts reduced net income for periods prior to January 1, 2018, we generally fund such costs with proceeds from our public offerings and/or acquisition-related indebtedness and do not consider these fees and expenses in the evaluation of our operating performance. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01 to clarify the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. We adopted this guidance on January 1, 2018 and we expect that most of our real estate transactions completed after that date will be accounted for using the asset acquisition guidance and, accordingly, the related acquisition-related expenses and acquisition fees will be treated under a capitalization/depreciation model and will not be expensed. Prior to ASU 2017-01, real estate acquisitions were generally considered business combinations and the acquisition-related expenses and acquisition fees were treated as operating expenses under GAAP. |
| |
• | We utilize the definition of FFO as set forth by NAREIT. Our FFO 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 FFO. Accordingly, the predictive nature of FFO is uncertain and past performance may not be indicative of future results. |
Neither the SEC, NAREIT nor any regulatory body has passed judgment on the acceptability of the adjustments that we use to calculate FFO. 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.
The following section presents our calculation of FFO attributable to common stockholders and provides additional information related to our operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 and the period from inception through September 30, 2018 (in thousands, except per share amounts). As we are in the capital raising and acquisition phase of our operations, FFO is not useful in comparing operations for the periods presented below. We expect revenues and expenses to increase in future periods as we raise additional offering proceeds and use them to make additional real estate investments.

Notes to the table:
| |
(1) | Represents the depreciation and amortization of 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. |
Set forth below is additional information, which may be helpful in assessing our operating results:
| |
• | For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, we incurred $0.5 million and $1.5 million in distribution and stockholder servicing fees. Total distribution and stockholder servicing fees incurred were $3.5 million from inception through September 30, 2018. |
| |
• | For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we incurred $0.1 million in dead-deal costs. We incurred no dead-deal costs during the three months ended September 30, 2018. Total acquisition-related costs incurred were $23.3 million from inception through September 30, 2018. |
| |
• | As of December 6, 2017, through its ownership of the special limited partner interest in the Operating Partnership, our Advisor is entitled to an annual performance participation allocation of 12.5% of the Operating Partnership’s total return. The performance participation allocation accrues monthly and is payable after the completion of each calendar year. See Note 7—Related Party Transactions, for additional information regarding the performance participation allocation. We do not consider the performance participation allocation in evaluating our operating performance. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, we incurred $1.2 million and $4.0 million in performance participation allocation fees. Total performance participation allocation fees incurred were $4.3 million from inception through September 30, 2018. |
As noted previously, our cash flows from operations have been and may continue to be insufficient to fund distributions to stockholders. We may continue to choose to use proceeds from the sales of assets, proceeds from our debt financings, proceeds from our public offerings, cash advances by our Advisor and/or cash resulting from a waiver or deferral of fees to fund distributions to our stockholders. For example, for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017, we funded 26% and 39% of total distributions with cash flows from financing activities, which may include offering proceeds. 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 by our Advisor and cash resulting from a waiver or deferral of fees.
From inception through September 30, 2018, we declared $49.5 million of distributions to our stockholders, compared to our total aggregate FFO of $27.9 million and our total aggregate net loss of $28.3 million for that period. We incurred acquisition fees and expenses of $23.3 million from inception through January 1, 2018 (the date we adopted ASU 2017–01) in connection with our real estate investments, which were recorded as reductions to net income (loss) and FFO. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we declared $16.7 million of distributions to our stockholders compared to our total aggregate FFO of $13.9 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we declared $14.1 million of distributions to our stockholders compared to our total aggregate FFO of $9.2 million.
Related Party Transactions and Agreements
We have entered into agreements with our Advisor, our Dealer Manager and Hines and 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, the dealer manager fee, distribution and stockholder servicing fees, and payments to our Advisor for reimbursement of organization and offering costs. During the acquisition and operational stages, these include payments for certain services related to the management and performance of our investments and operations provided to us by our Advisor and Hines and its affiliates pursuant to various agreements we have entered into with these entities. See Note 7 — Related Party Transactions in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as Note 8 — Related Party Transactions in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 for additional information concerning our related party transactions and agreements.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, 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.
Subsequent Events
Fresh Park Venlo
In October 2018, we acquired a leasehold interest in Fresh Park Venlo, a specialized logistics park located in Venlo, the Netherlands. Fresh Park Venlo is comprised of 23 buildings constructed between 1960 and 2018, and consists of 2,863,630 square feet of net rentable area that is, in the aggregate, 95% leased to more than 60 tenants. The purchase price for Fresh Park Venlo was €117.5 million, (approximately $136.3 million assuming a rate of $1.16 per EUR as of the acquisition date), exclusive of transaction costs and working capital reserves. In connection with the acquisition of the property, the Company entered into a third-party mortgage loan for the principal sum of approximately €75.0 million (approximately $87.0 million assuming a rate of $1.16 per EUR as of the acquisition date). The mortgage loan has a floating interest rate of Euribor + 1.50% per annum. Repayment of principal is due upon the maturity of the mortgage loan on August 15, 2023.
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 and currency risk are the primary market risks to which we are exposed. As of September 30, 2018, we were exposed to the market risks listed below.
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. As of September 30, 2018, we had $312.0 million of variable-rate debt outstanding. If interest rates were to increase by 1%, we would incur an additional $3.1 million in interest expense. Additionally, we have entered into interest rate caps to limit our exposure to rising interest rates related to our mortgage loans secured by Bishop’s Square and the Montrose Student Residences. See Note 4 — Debt Financing in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information concerning our outstanding debt.
Foreign Currency Risk
Our investments in Bishop’s Square, the Montrose Student Residences and the Queen’s Court Student Residences are subject to the effects of exchange rate movements among the Euro, the British Pound 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 consolidated financial statements. We have entered into mortgage loans denominated in Euros and British Pounds for these investments, which provide a natural hedge with regard to changes in exchange rates among the Euro, the British Pound and U.S. dollar and reduces our exposure to exchange rate differences. Additionally, we are typically a net receiver of Euros and British Pounds, and, as a result, our foreign operations benefit from a weaker U.S. dollar and are adversely affected by a stronger U.S. dollar. Based upon our analysis, a 10% immediate, unfavorable change in the exchange rate between the Euro and U.S. dollar would have decreased the net book value of our investments in Bishop’s Square and the Montrose Student Residences by approximately $5.3 million and would have reduced the year-to-date net income (loss) of Bishop’s Square and the Montrose Student Residences by $0.1 million. Similarly, a 10% immediate, unfavorable change in the exchange rate between the British Pound and U.S. dollar would have decreased the net book value of our investment in the Queen’s Court Student Residences by approximately $2.5 million and would have reduced the year-to-date net income (loss) of the Queen’s Court Student Residences by an immaterial amount.
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 September 30, 2018, 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 changes have occurred in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended September 30, 2018 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, we or our subsidiaries may become subject to legal proceedings, claims or disputes. As of November 14, 2018, neither we nor any of our subsidiaries were 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 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017. With the exception of the risk factors set forth below, there have been no material changes to 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, 2017.
Our NAV is not subject to GAAP, will not be independently audited and will involve subjective judgments by the independent valuation firm and other parties involved in valuing our assets and liabilities.
Our valuation procedures and our NAV are not subject to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP, and will not be subject to independent audit. Our NAV may differ from equity (net assets) reflected on our audited financial statements, even if we are required to adopt a fair value basis of accounting for GAAP financial statement purposes. Additionally, we are dependent on the Advisor to be reasonably aware of material events specific to our properties (such as tenant disputes, damage, litigation and environmental issues) that may cause the value of a property to change materially and to promptly notify the independent valuation firm so that the information may be reflected in our real estate portfolio valuation. In addition, the implementation and coordination of our valuation procedures include certain subjective judgments of the Advisor, such as whether the independent valuation firm should be notified of events specific to our properties that could affect their valuations, as well as of the independent valuation firm and other parties we engage, as to whether adjustments to asset and liability valuations are appropriate. Accordingly, you must rely entirely on our board of directors to adopt appropriate valuation procedures and on the independent valuation firm and other parties we engage in order to arrive at our NAV, which may not correspond to realizable value upon a sale of our assets.
Our success will be dependent on the performance of Hines as well as key employees of Hines. Certain other investment vehicles sponsored by Hines have experienced adverse developments in recent years and there is a risk that we may experience similar adverse developments. Adverse changes in affiliated programs could also adversely affect our ability to raise capital.
Our ability to achieve our investment objectives and to pay distributions is dependent upon the performance of Hines and its affiliates as well as key employees of Hines in the identification and acquisition of investments, the selection of tenants, the determination of any financing arrangements, the management of our assets and operation of our day-to-day activities. Our board of directors and the Advisor have broad discretion when identifying, evaluating, making and managing our investments with the proceeds of the Follow-On Offering. You will have no opportunity to evaluate the terms of transactions or other economic or financial data concerning our investments. We will rely on the management ability of Hines and the oversight of our board of directors as well as the management of any entities or ventures in which we invest.
We may not be able to retain our key employees. To the extent we are unable to retain and/or find qualified successors for key employees that depart from the company, our results of operations may be adversely impacted. Our officers and the management of the Advisor also serve in similar capacities for numerous other entities. If Hines or any of its key employees are distracted by these other activities or suffer from adverse financial or operational problems in connection with operations unrelated to us, the ability of Hines and its affiliates to allocate time and/or resources to our operations may be adversely affected. If Hines is unable to allocate sufficient resources to oversee and perform our operations for any reason, our results of operations would be adversely impacted. We will not provide key-man life insurance policies for any of Hines’ key employees.
Certain other investment vehicles sponsored by Hines have experienced adverse developments in recent years. Hines REIT sold shares of its common stock from 2004 to 2009 at various prices between $10.00 per share and $10.66 per share. Although Hines REIT re-opened its share redemption program with respect to ordinary redemption requests in April 2013, the program was suspended, except with respect to redemptions in connection with the death or disability of a stockholder, in December 2009. In addition, Hines REIT decreased its distribution rate in July 2010 and further decreased the rate in April 2013. Hines REIT is currently in the process of liquidating all of its remaining assets and winding up and has paid distributions of $7.51 per share to its stockholders, including liquidating distributions of $6.50 per share and special distributions of $1.01 per share. The
special distributions were paid from July 2011 through April 2013 and were in addition to the regular operating distributions of up to $5.49 per share paid to Hines REIT’s stockholders between 2004 and 2016. The amount of regular operating distributions received by stockholders varied depending on when they invested and whether they held their shares continuously through 2016. Hines REIT announced that it expects to make a final liquidating distribution to its stockholders and non-controlling interest holders of between $0.05 and $0.07 per share on or around July 31, 2018, although there can be no assurances as to the timing or amount of any additional liquidating distributions.
In addition to Hines REIT, Hines Global REIT and HMS Income Fund, Inc., Hines has sponsored more than 20 privately-offered programs in the past ten years. Several of Hines’ privately-offered programs have experienced adverse economic developments due to the global financial crisis and deteriorating economic conditions in several European and South American countries, Mexico and several U.S. markets between 2007 and 2009. The adverse market conditions experienced by these programs may result in them altering their investment strategy, generating returns lower than originally expected, or ultimately may cause them to incur losses. There is a risk that we may experience similar adverse developments, as an investment vehicle sponsored by Hines.
Adverse results in the other non-traded REITs on the Hines platform have the potential to affect Hines’ and our reputation among financial advisors and investors, which could affect our ability to raise capital.
Any interest in Hines Global will be diluted by the Special OP Units and any other OP Units in the Operating Partnership and any interest in Hines Global may be diluted if we issue additional shares.
Hines Global owned a 99.9% general partner interest in the Operating Partnership as of December 31, 2017. Hines Global REIT II Associates Limited Partnership owns the remaining interest in the Operating Partnership, and the Advisor holds the Special OP Units in the Operating Partnership, which were issued as consideration for an obligation by Hines and its affiliates to perform future services in connection with our real estate operations. Payments with respect to these interests will reduce the amount of distributions that would otherwise be payable to you in the future.
Stockholders do not have preemptive rights to acquire any shares issued by us in the future. Therefore, investors purchasing our common shares in the Follow-On Offering may experience dilution of their equity investment if we:
| |
• | sell shares in the Follow-On Offering or sell additional shares in the future, including those issued pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan; |
| |
• | sell securities that are convertible into shares, such as OP Units; |
| |
• | at the option of the Advisor issue common shares or OP Units to pay for certain fees and distributions |
| |
• | issue OP Units or common shares to the Advisor or its affiliates in exchange for advances or deferrals of fees |
| |
• | issue shares in a private offering; or |
| |
• | issue shares to sellers of properties acquired by us in connection with an exchange of partnership units from the Operating Partnership |
Our bylaws designate the Circuit Court for Baltimore City, Maryland as the sole and exclusive forum for certain types of actions and proceedings that may be initiated by our stockholders, which could limit our stockholders' ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us or our directors, officers or employees.
Our bylaws provide that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Circuit Court for Baltimore City, Maryland, or if that Court does not have jurisdiction, the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, Baltimore Division, shall be the sole and exclusive forum for certain types of actions and proceedings that may be initiated by our stockholders with respect to our company, our directors, our officers or our employees (we note we currently have no employees). This choice of forum provision may limit a stockholder's ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that the stockholder believes is favorable for disputes with us or our directors, officers or employees, which may discourage meritorious claims from being asserted against us and our directors, officers and employees. Alternatively, if a court were to find this provision of our bylaws inapplicable to, or unenforceable in respect of, one or more of the specified types of actions or proceedings, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such matters in other jurisdictions, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. We adopted this provision because we believe it makes it less likely that we will be forced to incur the expense of defending duplicative actions in multiple forums and less likely that plaintiffs' attorneys will be able to employ such litigation to coerce us into otherwise unjustified settlements, and we believe the risk of a court declining to enforce this provision is remote, as the General Assembly of Maryland has specifically amended the Maryland General Corporation Law to authorize the adoption of such provisions.
The Advisor’s asset management fee and the performance participation allocation may not create proper incentives or may induce the Advisor and its affiliates to make certain investments, including speculative investments, that increase the risk of our real estate portfolio.
We pay the Advisor an asset management fee regardless of the performance of our portfolio. The Advisor’s entitlement to an asset management fee, which is not based upon performance metrics or goals, might reduce its incentive to devote its time and effort to seeking investments that provide attractive risk-adjusted returns for our portfolio. We may be required to pay the Advisor an asset management fee in a particular period despite experiencing a net loss or a decline in the value of our portfolio during that period.
The existence of the 12.5% performance participation interest in our Operating Partnership to which the Advisor is entitled, is based on our total distributions plus the change in NAV per share, may create an incentive for the Advisor to make riskier or more speculative investments on our behalf than it would otherwise make in the absence of such performance-based compensation. In addition, the change in NAV per share will be based on the value of our investments on the applicable measurement dates and not on realized gains or losses. As a result, the Advisor may receive distributions based on unrealized gains in certain assets at the time of such distributions and such gains ultimately may not be realized when those assets are eventually disposed of.
We are different in some respects from other investment vehicles sponsored by Hines, and therefore the past performance of such investments may not be indicative of our future results. In addition, Hines has limited experience in acquiring and operating certain types of real estate investments that we may acquire.
We are Hines’ third publicly-offered real estate investment vehicle. We collectively refer to real estate joint ventures, funds and programs as real estate investment vehicles. All but two of the previous real estate investment vehicles of Hines and its affiliates were conducted through privately-held entities not subject to either the up-front commissions, fees and expenses associated with this offering or all of the laws and regulations that govern us, including reporting requirements under the federal securities laws and tax and other regulations applicable to REITs.
The past performance of other investment vehicles sponsored by Hines or its affiliates may not be indicative of our future results, and we may not be able to successfully operate our business and implement our investment strategy, which may be different in a number of respects from the operations previously conducted by Hines. In addition, Hines has limited experience in acquiring and operating certain types of real estate investments that we may acquire. For example, a significant amount of real estate investments that have been made by Hines’ other investment vehicles have consisted of acquisitions and development of office or industrial properties or land. Therefore, we will need to use third parties to source or manage investments in which Hines has limited experience. Although we primarily expect to invest in real properties, to a lesser extent, we plan to invest in real estate-related securities to provide a source of liquidity for our share redemption program, cash management and other purposes. Hines has limited experience in sourcing and managing investments in real estate-related securities, so we have engaged a third-party to source and manage our real estate-related securities investments, subject to investment guidelines approved by our board of directors, including a majority of our independent directors. In addition, a significant portion of Hines’ other programs and investments involve development projects. Although we are able to invest in development projects, we do not anticipate that a significant portion of the proceeds from this offering will be invested in development projects. As a result of all of these factors, you should not rely on the past performance of other investment vehicles sponsored by Hines and its affiliates to predict, or as an indication of, our future performance.
We have engaged a third-party to source and manage our investments in real estate-related securities. We will rely on the ability of this third-party investment manager to implement our real estate-related securities investment strategy.
We have engaged a third-party investment manager to implement our real estate-related securities investment strategy. The investment manager has and will continue to have substantial discretion, subject to investment guidelines approved by our board of directors, including a majority of our independent directors, to make decisions related to the acquisition, management and disposition of real estate-related securities. You will have no opportunity to evaluate the terms of transactions or other economic or financial data concerning our investments in real estate-related securities. If the investment manager does not succeed in implementing the liquid investments portion of our investment strategy, our performance will suffer. If the investment manager is unable to successfully implement our real estate-related securities investment strategy, our results of operations may be adversely impacted and we may not have sufficient liquidity available under our share redemption program. In addition, even though we have the ability to terminate the investment manager on thirty days’ notice, it may be difficult to replace the investment manager.
Our board of directors generally will not approve, in advance, the acquisition and disposition decisions made with respect to our investments in real estate-related securities.
Our board of directors, including a majority of our independent directors, has approved investment guidelines that delegate to our third-party investment manager the authority to purchase and sell real estate-related securities, provided that such investments are consistent with our investment guidelines. As a result, the third-party investment manager has substantial discretion to make investment decisions with respect to real estate-related securities, within the parameters established by our investment guidelines. We do not expect that our board of directors will review, in advance, the investment decisions made by the investment manager, but rather, we expect that our board of directors will review our investment guidelines on an annual basis and our portfolio of real estate-related securities investments on a quarterly basis or, in each case, as often as the board of directors deems appropriate. Although our board of directors is expected to conduct these periodic reviews, any investment entered into on our behalf by the investment manager may be impossible to unwind if our board of directors deems the investment inconsistent with our investment guidelines when it is subsequently reviewed by our board of directors, such that our only option may be to dispose of the investment, which may be at a loss.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
On September 20, 2018, 504.541 restricted common shares were granted to each of our independent directors, Messrs. Humberto “Burt” Cabañas, Dougal A. Cameron, and John O. Niemann, Jr. Such restricted shares were granted pursuant to Restricted Share Award Agreements between us and each of our independent directors, as part of the independent directors’ annual compensation for service on our board of directors and without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), in reliance upon the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.
Issuer Redemptions of Equity Securities
In connection with the Follow-On Offering, our board of directors (i) approved the termination of our share redemption program applicable to Class AX shares and Class TX shares and (ii) approved the amendment and restatement of our share redemption program applicable to Class IX shares and Class JX shares, in order to make it applicable to all classes of shares of our common stock (the “Amended SRP”). The Amended SRP replaced our share redemption programs, effective as of December 4, 2017.
The Amended SRP may allow stockholders who have purchased shares from us or received their shares through a non-cash transaction, not in the secondary market, to have their shares redeemed subject to certain limitations and restrictions. Redemptions under the Amended SRP will be made on a monthly basis. Subject to the limitations of and restrictions on the Amended SRP, and subject to funds being available as described below, shares redeemed under the Amended SRP will be redeemed at the transaction price in effect on the date of redemption, which generally will be a price equal to the NAV per share applicable to the class of shares being redeemed and most recently disclosed by us in a public filing with the SEC (subject to the 5% holding discount described below).
Under the Amended SRP, we may redeem during any calendar month shares (including IPO Shares) whose aggregate value (based on the redemption price per share in effect when the redemption is effected) is 2% of our aggregate NAV as of the last calendar day of the previous month (the “2% Monthly Limitation”) and during any calendar quarter whose aggregate value (based on the redemption price per share in effect when the redemption is effected) is up to 5% of our aggregate NAV as of the last calendar day of the prior calendar quarter (the “5% Quarterly Limitation”). During a given quarter, if in each of the first two months of such quarter the 2% Monthly Limitation is reached and stockholders’ redemptions are reduced pro rata for such months, then in the third and final month of that quarter, the applicable limit for such month will likely be less than 2% of our aggregate NAV as of the last calendar day of the previous month because the redemptions for that month, combined with the redemptions in the previous two months, cannot exceed the 5% Quarterly Limitation.
There is no minimum holding period for shares under the Amended SRP and stockholders may request that we redeem their shares at any time. However, shares that have not been outstanding for at least one year will be redeemed at 95% of the transaction price (the “5% holding discount”) that would otherwise apply; provided, that, the period that a Class T share, Class S share and/or Class D share was held prior to being converted into a Class I share will count toward the total hold period for a Class I share, the period that a Class TX share was held prior to being converted into a Class AX share will count toward the total hold period for a Class AX share and the period that a Class IX share was held prior to being converted into a Class JX share will count toward the total hold period for a Class JX share. Upon request, we intend to waive the 5% holding discount in the case of the death or disability of a stockholder. The 5% holding discount also will be waived with respect to shares issued pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan and any shares issued as stock dividends.
Unless our board of directors determines otherwise, we intend to fund redemptions pursuant to the Amended SRP from any available cash sources at its disposal, including available cash, cash flow from operations, the sale of real estate-related securities and other assets, borrowings or offering proceeds, without any limitation on the amounts we may pay from such sources. Our board of directors will have complete discretion to determine whether all of such funds will be applied to redemptions pursuant to the Amended SRP, whether such funds are needed for other purposes or whether additional funds from other sources may be used for redemptions pursuant to the Amended SRP.
Our board of directors may terminate, suspend or amend the Amended SRP at any time without stockholder approval if the directors believe such action is in the best interests of our stockholders, or if they determine the funds otherwise available to fund redemptions are needed for other purposes. In addition, our board of directors may determine to suspend the Amended SRP due to regulatory changes, changes in law or if our board of directors becomes aware of undisclosed material information that it believes should be publicly disclosed before shares are redeemed. Material modifications, including any reduction to the monthly or quarterly limitations on redemptions, and suspensions of the program will be disclosed promptly to stockholders in a prospectus supplement (or post-effective amendment if required by the Securities Act) or current report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC. Any material modifications will also be disclosed on our website.
