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.
Coronavirus Outbreak
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements. Although these estimates are based on management’s knowledge of current events and actions it may undertake in the future, actual results may differ from these estimates. In particular, the COVID-19 pandemic (more commonly referred to as the Coronavirus pandemic), has adversely impacted and is likely to further adversely impact the Company’s business, the businesses of the Company’s tenants and the real estate market generally. The full extent to which the pandemic will directly or indirectly impact the Company's business, results of operations and financial condition, including fair value measurements, and asset impairment charges, will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and difficult to predict. These developments include, but are not limited to, the duration and spread of the outbreak, its severity, the actions to contain the virus or address its impact, governmental actions to contain the spread of the pandemic and respond to the reduction in global economic activity, and how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume.
The ongoing global outbreak of the Coronavirus pandemic continues to adversely impact global commercial activity and has contributed to significant volatility in financial markets. It has disrupted global travel and supply chains, adversely impacted global commercial activity, and its long-term economic impact remains uncertain. Considerable uncertainty still surrounds the Coronavirus and its potential effects on the population, as well as the effectiveness of any responses taken on a national and local level by government authorities and businesses. The travel restrictions, limits on hours of operations and/or closures of non-essential businesses and other efforts to curb the spread of the Coronavirus have significantly disrupted business activity globally, including in the markets where the Company invests, and has had an adverse impact on the performance of certain of the Company’s investments. Many of the Company’s tenants are subject to various quarantine restrictions and these restrictions could be in place for an extended period of time. These restrictions are particularly adversely impacting many of the Company’s retail tenants (other than grocery tenants), as government instructions regarding social distancing, capacity limitations and mandated closures have reduced and, in some cases, eliminated customer foot traffic, causing many of the Company’s retail tenants to temporarily close their brick and mortar stores. As of November 13, 2020, the Company owned two retail properties in the U.S., which comprised 17% of the Company’s portfolio, based on the estimated value of each real estate investment as of September 30, 2020 (“Estimated Value”), as well as 22% of the Company’s total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The Company agreed to grant $2.3 million of rent relief to its retail tenants through September 30, 2020, as a result of their lost revenues resulting from the Coronavirus pandemic. Such rent relief consisted of $1.1 million of rental payments that were forgiven or reduced due to the conversion of fixed rental payments to rental payments based on a percentage of the tenant’s revenues and $1.2 million of rent payments that have been deferred to future periods. While rent collections were adversely affected in the early months of the pandemic, consumer traffic at these properties has recovered to near pre-pandemic levels in recent months and rent collections have recovered to 93% of billed rent for the three months ended September 30, 2020. However, rising infection rates and the potential for additional government mandated shutdowns could reduce consumer traffic at the Company’s retail properties and negatively impact future rent collections.
Additionally, the Company agreed to refund May through August rents for 53% of students across its international student housing portfolio following the closing of nearby universities for the remainder of the 2019/2020 school year. These universities have announced a mixture of in-campus and on-line learning for the upcoming 2020/2021 school year with a delayed start. Total refunds of May through August rents were $2.1 million across the portfolio, $0.8 million of which reduced revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2020. These refunds adversely impacted the debt yields of these student housing properties, which contributed to the Company being out of compliance with its debt yield covenants under the mortgage debt secured by these properties as of September 30, 2020. The lender provided waivers to the Company with respect to its non-compliance with these covenants, eliminating any events of default caused by non-compliance through December 31, 2020. See Note 4—Debt Financing for more information. The Company’s other segments were not materially impacted by the Coronavirus pandemic to date.
The Coronavirus pandemic has had an adverse impact on economic and market conditions and has triggered a period of global economic slowdown. In addition, the rapidly evolving nature of the pandemic makes it difficult to ascertain the long term impact it will have on commercial real estate markets and the Company’s investments. Nevertheless, the Coronavirus
pandemic presents material uncertainty and risk with respect to the Company’s performance and financial results, such as rent concessions or reduced rental rates, the potential negative impact to occupancy at its properties, the potential closure of certain of its assets for an extended period, the potential for increased difficulty in obtaining financing, the negative impact of the Company’s ability to raise capital in its public offering at pre-pandemic rates, increased costs of operations, decrease in values of its real estate investments, the potential for increased difficulty of maintaining the current distribution rate, changes in law and/or regulation, and uncertainty regarding government and regulatory policy. The Company is unable to estimate the impact the Coronavirus pandemic will have on its results in future periods.
Due to the business disruptions and challenges severely affecting the global economy caused by the Coronavirus pandemic, many lessors may be required to provide rent deferrals and other lease concessions to lessees. While the lease modification guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 842 ("Topic 842") addresses routine changes to lease terms resulting from negotiations between the lessee and the lessor, this guidance did not contemplate concessions being so rapidly executed to address the sudden liquidity constraints of some lessees arising from the Coronavirus pandemic. In April 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) staff issued a question and answer document (the “Lease Modification Q&A”) focused on the application of lease accounting guidance to lease concessions provided as a result of the Coronavirus pandemic. Under existing lease guidance, the Company would have to determine, on a lease by lease basis, if a lease concession was the result of a new arrangement reached with the tenant (treated within the lease modification accounting framework) or if a lease concession was under the enforceable rights and obligations within the existing lease agreement (precluded from applying the lease modification accounting framework). The Lease Modification Q&A allows the Company, if certain criteria have been met, to bypass the lease by lease analysis, and instead elect to either apply the lease modification accounting framework or not, with such election applied consistently to leases with similar characteristics and similar circumstances. The Company has elected to apply such relief and will avail itself of the election to avoid performing a lease by lease analysis for the lease concessions that 1) were granted as relief due to the Coronavirus pandemic and 2) result in the cash flows remaining substantially the same or less. The application of this relief primarily related to certain leases at the Company's retail properties in which the Company agreed to defer or forgive rent payments for one or more months. The Company does not believe the election to apply this relief had a material impact on its financial statements.
Investments in Real Estate-Related Securities
The Company holds investments in real estate-related securities, which consist of common equities, preferred equities and debt investments of publicly traded REITs. The Company has elected to classify these investments as trading securities and carry such investments at fair value. These assets are valued on a recurring basis. The Company earns interest and dividend income monthly related to these securities, which is recorded in interest and other income in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). The table below presents the effects of the changes in fair value of the Company’s real estate-related securities in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 (in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Gain (Loss) Recorded on Investments in Real Estate-Related Securities |
| | Three months ended September 30, | | Nine months ended September 30, |
| | 2020 | | 2019 | | 2020 | | 2019 |
Unrealized gain (loss) | | $ | 1,386 | | | $ | 673 | | | $ | (1,454) | | | $ | 1,773 | |
Realized gain (loss) | | (520) | | | 526 | | | (2,282) | | | 754 | |
Total gain (loss) on real estate-related securities | | $ | 866 | | | $ | 1,199 | | | $ | (3,736) | | | $ | 2,527 | |
Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale
Properties that are intended to be sold are to be designated as “held for sale” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at the lesser of carrying amount or fair value less estimated selling costs when they meet specific criteria to be presented as held for sale, under GAAP, most significantly that the sale is probable within one year. The Company evaluates probability of sale based on specific facts including whether a sales agreement is in place and the buyer has made significant non-refundable deposits. Properties are no longer depreciated when they are classified as held for sale. As of September 30, 2020, there were no assets designated as held for sale. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had one property, the Domain Apartments, designated as held for sale. The Company sold the Domain Apartments in January 2020. See Note 3—Investment Property for additional information regarding the disposition of the Domain Apartments.
Tenant and Other Receivables
Tenant and other receivables consists primarily of receivables attributable to straight-line rent and receivables related to base rents and tenant reimbursements and are carried at cost. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had receivables related to base rents and tenant reimbursements of $6.4 million and $5.6 million, respectively. Additionally, as of September 30, 2020, approximately $1.2 million of these receivables relate to rent that has been deferred at the Company’s retail properties and is expected to be repaid at a later date. The Company has recorded an allowance of approximately $524,000 related to these deferred rents, which reduced rental revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020. The Company also reduced rental revenue by $1.1 million for abated rent at its retail properties during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, as discussed previously.
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. Straight-line rent receivables were $7.3 million and $8.6 million as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.
At September 30, 2020, a $2.0 million receivable related to the sale of Bishop’s Square was included in tenant and other receivables, net on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The receivable is contingent on certain conditions being met on or before May 2021.
Other Assets
Other assets included the following (in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | September 30, 2020 | | December 31, 2019 | |

The increase in net deferred tax assets from December 31, 2019 to September 30, 2020 is primarily due to changes in tax laws relating to our international properties and their effect on book / tax timing differences at these properties.
(2)Includes $0.1 million classified as other assets within assets held for sale as of December 31, 2019.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, "Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement." This ASU amends and removes several disclosure requirements including the valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements. The ASU also modifies some disclosure requirements and requires additional disclosures for changes in unrealized gains and losses included in other comprehensive income for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements and requires the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. The provisions of ASU No. 2018-13 are effective for the Company as of January 1, 2020 and have not materially impacted the Company’s financial statements.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848), which provides guidance containing practical expedients for reference rate reform related activities that impact debt, leases, derivatives and other contracts. The guidance in ASU No. 2020-04 is optional and may be elected over time as reference rate reform activities occur. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this guidance upon its financial statements.

Commercial Leases
The Company’s commercial leases are generally for terms of 15 years or less and may include multiple options to extend the lease term upon tenant election. The Company’s leases typically do not include an option to purchase. Generally, the Company does not expect the value of its real estate assets to be impacted materially at the end of any individual lease term, as the Company is typically able to re-lease the space and real estate assets tend to hold their value over a long period of time. Tenant terminations prior to the lease end date occasionally result in a one-time termination fee based on the remaining unpaid lease payments including variable payments and could be material to the tenant. Many of the Company’s leases have increasing minimum rental rates during the terms of the leases through escalation provisions. In addition, the majority of the Company’s leases provide for separate billings for variable rent, such as, reimbursements of real estate taxes, maintenance and insurance and may include an amount based on a percentage of the tenants’ sales. Total billings related to expense reimbursements from tenants for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 were $4.4 million and $13.1 million, respectively, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 were $3.7 million and $9.4 million, respectively, which are included in rental revenue on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).
The Company has entered into non-cancelable lease agreements with tenants for space. As of September 30, 2020, the approximate fixed future minimum rentals for the period from October 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020, for each of the years ending December 31, 2021 through 2025 and thereafter related to the Company’s commercial properties are as follows (in thousands):

JPMorgan Chase Revolving Credit Facility
During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company made draws of approximately $129.0 million and made payments of $123.0 million on its revolving loan commitment with JPMorgan Chase, N.A., (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), resulting in an outstanding balance of $110.0 million on September 30, 2020. In November 2020, the Company drew $100.0 million on its $150.0 million term loan facility with JPMorgan Chase, N.A., (the “Term Loan Facility”), and used the proceeds to pay down the outstanding balance on the Revolving Credit Facility, resulting in a new outstanding balance on the Revolving Credit Facility of $10.0 million as of November 13, 2020.
Additionally, in November 2020, the Company entered into an amendment to the credit facility agreement with JPMorgan, which reduced the required interest coverage ratio thresholds, extended the deadline to draw the remaining $50.0 million of the $150.0 million Term Loan Facility until May 2021, extended the deadline to meet the minimum required number of unencumbered pool properties to December 31, 2020 and increased the interest rate spread on outstanding loan amounts. As a result of the amendment, the Company paid $637,500 in lender consent and arrangement fees.
Hines Credit Facility
During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company made payments of $75.0 million under its credit facility with Hines (the “Hines Credit Facility”). The Company made no draws during that period and had no outstanding balance as of September 30, 2020 or the date of this report.
Financial Covenants
The Company’s mortgage agreements and other loan documents for the debt described in the table above contain customary events of default, with corresponding grace periods, including payment defaults, bankruptcy-related defaults, and customary covenants, including limitations on liens and indebtedness and maintenance of certain financial ratios. As of September 30, 2020, the Company was out of compliance with the debt yield covenant related to its mortgage debts secured by Montrose Student Residences and Queens Court Student Residences, as well as with Glasgow West End as of October 1, 2020. The debt yields of these properties were adversely affected by refunds granted in response to the effects of the Coronavirus pandemic as described in Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. Additionally, the debt yield for the Montrose Student Residences was also impacted by the Company’s decision to proactively close the residential accommodations in order to more efficiently perform renovations, including the replacement of certain fire safety equipment systems. In November 2020, the lender provided waivers for these covenants that were out of compliance as of September 30, 2020 and as of October 1, 2020, as the properties met certain conditions set forth by the lender. These waivers eliminate any event of default occurring as a result of the debt yield calculation through November 20, 2020. The Company can provide no assurances that it will be in compliance with these covenants as of December 31, 2020 or that the lender will continue to provide waivers for the Company's noncompliance with covenants in future periods.
The Company is not aware of any other instances of noncompliance with financial covenants on any of its other loans as of the date of this report. The Company’s continued compliance with these and other covenants depends on many factors and could be impacted by current or future economic conditions associated with the Coronavirus pandemic. Failure to comply with any covenants would result in a default which, if the Company were unable to cure or obtain a waiver from the lenders, could accelerate the repayment obligations and strain the liquidity of the Company.
Principal Payments on Debt
The Company is required to make the following principal payments on its outstanding notes payable for the period from October 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020, for each of the years ending December 31, 2021 through December 31, 2024 and for the period thereafter (in thousands).
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Payments Due by Year |
| October 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020 | | 2021 | | 2022 | | 2023 | | 2024 | | Thereafter |
Principal payments | $ | 46,960 | | (1) | $ | 7,914 | | | $ | 182,389 | | | $ | 324,733 | | | $ | 190,122 | | | $ | — | |
(1)Included in this amount is $45.0 million in principal payments due October 9, 2020 relating to the secured mortgage debt at Venue Museum District. On October 9, 2020, the Company modified and extended this agreement resulting in a new maturity date of October 9, 2021 and a repayment of $17.4 million of the outstanding principal balance, as described above.
LIBOR is expected to be discontinued after 2021. As of September 30, 2020, the Company has three loans with a variable interest rate tied to LIBOR with maturities beyond 2021. The loan agreements provide procedures for determining a replacement or alternative rate in the event that LIBOR is unavailable. However, there can be no assurances as to whether such replacement or alternative rate will be more or less favorable than LIBOR. The Company intends to monitor the developments with respect to the potential phasing out of LIBOR after 2021 and work with its lenders to ensure any transition away from LIBOR will have minimal impact on its financial condition, but can provide no assurances regarding the impact of the discontinuation of LIBOR.
5. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
The Company has entered into several interest rate cap and swap 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 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 certain cash flows of some of 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.

6. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Public Offering
On November 30, 2017, the Company (i) redesignated its issued and outstanding Class A shares of common stock, Class T shares of common stock, Class I shares of common stock and Class J shares of common stock as “Class AX shares,” “Class TX shares,” “Class IX shares” and “Class JX shares,” (collectively, the “IPO Shares”) respectively, and (ii) reclassified the authorized but unissued portion of its common stock into four additional classes of shares of common stock: “Class T shares,” “Class S shares,” “Class D shares,” and “Class I shares.” The Company is offering its shares of common stock in the Follow-On Offering in any combination of Class T shares, Class S shares, Class D shares and Class I shares (collectively, the “Follow-On Offering Shares”). All shares of the Company’s common stock have the same voting rights and rights upon liquidation, although distributions received by the Company’s stockholders are expected to differ due to the distribution and stockholder servicing fees payable with respect to the applicable share classes, which reduce distributions.
The Company complies with the FASB ASC 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” which requires, among other things, that financial instruments that represent a mandatory obligation of the Company to repurchase shares be classified as liabilities and reported at settlement value. When shares are tendered for redemption and approved (or not prohibited) by the board of directors, the Company will reclassify such obligations from equity to an accrued liability based upon their respective settlement values and redeem those shares in the subsequent month pursuant to the Company’s current share redemption program.

Distributions
With the authorization of the Company’s board of directors, the Company declared distributions monthly from January 2020 through October 2020 at a gross distribution rate of $0.05208 per month for each share class (represents an annualized rate of $0.625 per share per year if this rate is declared for an entire year), less any applicable distribution and stockholder servicing fees.
Distributions were 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 2020 and 2019, including the breakout between the distributions declared in cash and those reinvested pursuant to the Company’s distribution reinvestment plan (in thousands).

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.
Financial Instruments Measured on a Recurring Basis
As described in Note 5—Derivative Instruments, the Company entered into several interest rate contracts as economic hedges against the variability of future interest rates on its variable interest rate borrowings. The valuation of these derivative instruments is determined based on assumptions that management believes market participants would use in pricing, using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities. The fair values of interest rate contracts have been determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash receipts (or payments) and the discounted expected variable cash payments (or receipts). The variable cash payments (or receipts) are based on an expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate curves.
Although the Company has determined the majority of the inputs used to value its interest rate contracts fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with its derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads, to evaluate the likelihood of default by the Company and its counterparties. In adjusting the fair values of its derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, the Company has considered the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral postings, thresholds and guarantees. However, as of September 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company has assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions and has determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuations of its derivatives. As a result, the Company has determined its derivative valuations are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Additionally, as described in Note 5—Derivative Instruments, the Company has entered into foreign currency forward contracts as economic hedges against the variability of foreign exchange rates. The valuation of these forward contracts is determined based on assumptions that management believes market participants would use in pricing, using widely accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including currency exchange rate curves and implied volatilities. The Company has determined its foreign currency forward contracts valuations are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, as they are based on observable inputs but are not traded in active markets.
In the fourth quarter of 2018, the Company made its initial investments in real estate-related securities, which consist of common equities, preferred equities and debt investments of publicly traded REITs. Since that time, the Company has continued to make additional investments in real estate-related securities. The Company has elected to classify these investments as trading securities and carry such investments at fair value. The following table summarizes activity for the Company’s real estate-related securities measured at fair value on a recurring basis.
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Basis of Fair Value Measurements |
As of | | Description | | Fair Value of Assets | | Quoted Prices In Active Markets for Identical Items (Level 1) | | Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) | | Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) |

Financial Instruments Fair Value Disclosures
As of September 30, 2020, the Company estimated that the fair value of its notes payable, excluding deferred financing costs, which had a book value of $752.1 million, was $750.8 million. As of December 31, 2019, the Company estimated that the fair value of its notes payable, excluding deferred financing costs, which had a book value of $865.7 million, was $864.1 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 invests the net proceeds from its public offerings into its 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 and all of the Company’s consolidated revenues and property expenses are from these real estate properties.
Management evaluates the operating performance of each of its real estate properties at an individual investment level and considers each investment to be an operating segment. The Company has aggregated its operating segments into seven reportable segments: domestic office investments, domestic residential/living investments, domestic retail investments, domestic industrial investments, international industrial investments, international office investments, and international residential/living investments. In April 2020, the Company sold Bishop’s Square, which comprised the international office investments operating segment included in the tables below.
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.

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, 2019.
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:
| | | | | |
| |
— | Risks associated with adverse changes in general economic or local market conditions, including the impact of the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic and efforts to prevent its spread, which are adversely affecting the markets in which we and our tenants operate; |
| |
— | Whether we will be successful in raising substantial additional capital, and whether we will have the opportunity to invest offering and distribution reinvestment plan proceeds to acquire properties or other investments rather than using such proceeds 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; |
| |
— | Our ability to complete acquisitions of properties under contract; |
| |
— | 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 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, our ability to secure financing and our ability to comply with covenants in our debt agreements; |
| |
— | Catastrophic events, such as hurricanes, earthquakes, tornadoes and terrorist attacks; and our ability to secure adequate insurance at reasonable and appropriate rates; |
| |
— | The failure of any bank in which we deposit our funds could reduce the amount of cash we have available to pay distributions and make additional investments; |
| |
— | Changes in governmental, tax, real estate and zoning laws and regulations and the related costs of compliance and increases in our administrative operating expenses, including expenses associated with operating as a public company; |
| |
— | International investment risks, including the burden of complying with a wide variety of foreign laws and the uncertainty of such laws, the tax treatment of transaction structures, political and economic instability, foreign currency fluctuations, and inflation and governmental measures to curb inflation may adversely affect our operations and our ability to make distributions; |
| |
— | The lack of liquidity associated with our assets; and |
| |
— | Our ability to qualify as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes. |
These risks are more fully discussed in, and all forward-looking statements should be read in light of, all of the risk factors under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.
You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. All forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the risk that actual results will differ materially from the expectations expressed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may increase with the passage of time. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the inclusion of such forward-looking statements should not be regarded as a representation by us or any other person that the objectives and plans set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q will be achieved. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by reference to these risks and uncertainties. Each forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date of the particular statement, and we do not undertake to update any forward-looking statement.
The Company
Hines Global Income Trust, Inc. (“Hines Global”), was formed as a Maryland corporation in 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. 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 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 of common stock following the conclusion of the Follow-On Offering. As of November 13, 2020, we had received gross offering proceeds of $1.1 billion from the sale of 110.4 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 quality commercial 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, 2020, we owned twenty real estate investments consisting of 9.5 million square feet that were 94% leased. 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, 2020 (“Estimated Values”), which are consistent with the values used to determine our net asset value (“NAV”) per share on that date.
The following charts depict the location of our real estate investments as of September 30, 2020. Approximately 52% of our portfolio is located throughout the United States and approximately 48% is located internationally, based on the Estimated Values.
The following table provides additional information regarding each of our properties and is presented as of September 30, 2020 except as described in the footnotes below.

(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.
(3)On August 13, 2020, we proactively closed the residential accommodations at Montrose, our student housing property located in Ireland, for the upcoming 2020/2021 school year in order to more efficiently perform renovations including the replacement of certain building safety equipment systems. We currently estimate the total renovation cost to be approximately $5.0 million to $8.0 million. We expect the property to be vacant for the 2020/2021 academic year, which could result in reductions of revenues in excess of property expenses of approximately $2.0 million to $3.0 million. Additionally, we may be required to escrow certain interest payments or reduce the outstanding principal of our $26.5 million mortgage at the property.
(4)Represents the average projected occupancy for these projects over the 2020/2021 academic year based on leases signed to date. Leases at student housing properties are signed in advance of an academic year and units in our student housing properties are considered occupied if we have a signed lease for the unit for the academic year and have not
issued a refund for the unit even if the property is not physically occupied. Our international student housing properties have been significantly impacted by the Coronavirus pandemic as a result of school closures, which resulted in refunded rent during the months of May through August 2020. If there are additional school closures related to the Coronavirus pandemic in the future, we could be required to issue additional refunds, which would result in our actual occupancy differing from the projections included in the table above.
(5)Excluding our student housing properties, our portfolio was 95% leased as of September 30, 2020.
NAV and Distributions
We began determining an NAV per share on a monthly basis as of the end of January 2018. Since that time, our NAV per share increased from $9.78 in the beginning of 2018 to $10.24 in February 2020. As illustrated in the chart below, the NAV fell to $9.71 as of April 30, 2020 before increasing to $9.73 as of September 30, 2020. As described elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Coronavirus pandemic has had, and is expected to continue to have, an adverse impact on global commercial activity and has contributed to significant volatility in financial markets. While it is difficult to ascertain the long term impact it will have on commercial real estate markets and our investments, it presents material uncertainty and risk with respect to the current and future performance and value of our investments. Investments in real properties and real estate-related securities have not been immune to the impact of the pandemic, which was the primary cause of the decline in our NAV during March and April 2020. Set forth below is additional historical 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 16, 2020 for additional information concerning the methodology used to determine, and the limitations of, the NAV per share as of September 30, 2020. Please see our Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018, and 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” per share of our common stock, 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, our gross annualized distribution rate remained at $0.625 per share since January 2019. As described previously, the Coronavirus pandemic has had adverse effects on the operations of several of our real estate investments in recent months, which could affect our ability to maintain the current distribution rate.
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 began, 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. 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.
Performance Summary of Share Classes
The tables presented below disclose the total returns for each of our share classes. The total returns shown reflect the percent change in the NAV per share from the beginning of the applicable period, plus the amount of any distribution per share declared during the period. The total returns shown are calculated assuming reinvestment of distributions pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan, are derived from unaudited financial information, and are net of all Hines Global expenses, including general and administrative expenses, transaction-related expenses, management fees, the performance participation allocation, and share class specific fees, but exclude the impact of early redemption deductions on the redemption of shares that have been outstanding for less than one year. Total returns would be lower if calculated assuming that distributions were not reinvested. The returns have been prepared using unaudited data and valuations of the underlying investments in our portfolio, which are estimates of fair value and form the basis for our NAV per share. Valuations based upon unaudited reports from the underlying investments may be subject to later adjustments, may not correspond to realized value and may not accurately reflect the price at which assets could be liquidated. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. Actual returns realized by individual stockholders will vary.

Critical Accounting Policies
Each of our critical accounting policies involve 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 judgment 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, 2019 under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” There have been no significant changes to our policies during 2020.
Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal demands for funds are to make real estate investments, including investments in real estate-related securities and 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 from our public offerings, debt proceeds and proceeds from the sales of real estate investments. As described above under the heading “—NAV and Distributions,” we may be required to continue to fund distributions from sources other than cash flows from operations.
We expect that once we have fully invested the proceeds of our public offerings and other potential subsequent 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, including the payment of distributions and redemptions. Our real estate-related securities portfolio may have embedded leverage, including through the use of reverse repurchase agreements and derivatives, including, but not limited to, total return swaps, securities lending arrangements and credit default swaps. 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. Further, our charter limits our borrowing to 300% of our net assets (which approximates 75% of the cost of our assets) unless any excess borrowing is approved by a majority of our independent directors and is disclosed to our stockholders in our next quarterly report along with justification for the excess. As of September 30, 2020 our portfolio was approximately 43% leveraged, based on the Estimated Values of our real estate investments owned as of that date, with a weighted average interest rate of 2.23%.
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. See Note 4—Debt Financing for additional information regarding our existing debt covenants and certain non-compliance waivers that we obtained in the third quarter of 2020.
The Coronavirus pandemic had a material adverse impact on our liquidity and capital resources for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, which resulted from reduced rent collections at our retail properties and rent refunds at our international student housing properties and a reduction of capital raised from the Follow-On Offering as compared to prior periods. We are still in the early stages of navigating the actual and potential long-term impacts the pandemic will have on our business. These conditions may continue to worsen as the pandemic continues. Fortunately, the Company’s liquidity position was bolstered by its recent sale of Bishop’s Square in April 2020. As a result of this sale, the Company has significant cash on hand and significant undrawn capacity under its revolving credit facilities that it may use to fund cash needs, including shortages that
may arise as a result of the Coronavirus pandemic or to make additional real estate investments. See Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies for additional information.
The following discussions provide additional details regarding our cash flows.
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Our real estate properties generate cash flows in the form of rental revenues, which are used to pay property-level operating expenses, leasing costs and interest payments. Additionally, we incur corporate level costs and fees such as general and administrative expenses, asset management fees, and the performance participation allocation as well as interest expense on our credit facilities with Hines and JPMorgan.
Cash flows from operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 decreased by $0.1 million as compared to the same period in the prior year. We generally expect cash flows from operating activities to increase each year as we continue to acquire additional properties. However, some of the increases in the current year were offset by the effect of the three property sales completed during the first half of 2020, including the payment of $7.8 million of taxes related to the sale of Bishop’s Square in April 2020. Additionally, the increase in cash flows from operating activities was also offset by the payment of the performance participation allocation, which was $1.7 million higher in 2020.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Cash flows from investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 primarily consisted of the following:
Nine months ended September 30, 2020
•Payment of $297.5 million, primarily related to the acquisitions of four real estate investments during the nine months ended September 30, 2020.
•Capital expenditures of approximately $7.0 million at our real estate properties.
•We received proceeds of $340.5 million from the sale of the Domain Apartments in January 2020, Goodyear Crossing II in February 2020 and Bishop’s Square in April 2020. We sold the Domain Apartments for a contract sales price of $80.1 million and we acquired the Domain Apartments in January 2016 for a net purchase price of $58.1 million. We sold Goodyear Crossing II for a contract sales price of $72.0 million and we acquired Goodyear Crossing II in August 2016 for a net purchase price of $56.2 million. We sold Bishop’s Square for a contract sales price of €181.6 million (approximately $198.0 million assuming a rate of $1.09 per EUR as of the date of transaction) and we acquired Bishop’s Square in March 2015 for €92.0 million (approximately $103.5 million assuming a rate of $1.13 per EUR as of the acquisition date). Proceeds from these sales were used to pay off the secured debt outstanding on the two real estate investments in full as well as to fund the acquisitions of real estate investments made during the nine months ended September 30, 2020.
•Payments of $34.2 million to purchase real estate-related securities. We also received proceeds of $27.3 million from the sales of these securities.
Nine months ended September 30, 2019
•Payment of $416.0 million, primarily related to the acquisitions of five real estate investments during the nine months ended September 30, 2019.
•Capital expenditures of approximately $6.3 million at our various real estate properties.
•Payments of $38.1 million to purchase real estate-related securities. We also received proceeds of $14.0 million from the sales of real estate-related securities.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Public Offerings
We raised gross proceeds of $178.4 million from our Follow-On Offering during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, excluding proceeds from the distribution reinvestment plan. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we had
raised $296.9 million from our Follow-On Offering, excluding proceeds from the distribution reinvestment plan. In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, we redeemed $23.1 million and $10.5 million in shares of our common stock pursuant to our share redemption program, respectively.
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, 2020 and 2019, we made payments of $7.3 million and $9.2 million, respectively, for selling commissions, dealer manager fees and distribution and stockholder servicing fees related to our Follow-On Offering. The decrease in selling commissions, dealer manager fees and distribution and stockholder servicing fees for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to the same period in 2019 is due to a reduction in the amount of capital raised during 2020, which was adversely affected by the Coronavirus pandemic.
Until December 31, 2018, the Advisor advanced 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, which totaled $9.0 million. In January 2019, we began reimbursing the Advisor in ratable amounts over 60 months for all such advanced expenses, as well as any organization and offering costs incurred subsequent to December 31, 2018, to the extent cumulative organization and offering costs paid by the Company 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. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we reimbursed the Advisor $4.3 million for organization and offering costs.
Distributions
In January 2018, we began 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 2019 through October 2020 at a gross distribution rate of $0.05208 per month for each share class less any applicable distribution and stockholder servicing fees. Distributions are 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 stockholders participating in our 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. As described previously, the Coronavirus pandemic has had adverse effects on the operations of several of our real estate investments in recent months, which has adversely impacted our NAV and could affect our ability to maintain the current distribution rate.
Distributions paid to stockholders during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 were $38.8 million and $23.1 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, 2020 and September 30, 2019, we funded 65% and 60% of total distributions with cash flows from other sources such as cash flows from investing activities, respectively, which may include proceeds from the sale of real estate and/or cash flows from financing activities, which may include offering proceeds.
The following table outlines our total distributions declared to stockholders for each quarter during 2020 and 2019, including the breakout between the distributions declared in cash and those reinvested pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan (in thousands, except percentages).

Debt Financings
As mentioned above under “—Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources,” our portfolio was approximately 43% leveraged as of September 30, 2020 (based on the Estimated Values). Our total loan principal outstanding had a weighted average interest rate of 2.23% as of September 30, 2020. Below is additional information regarding our loan activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019. See Note 4—Debt Financing for additional information regarding our outstanding debt and our interest rate exposure.
Nine months ended September 30, 2020
•We received proceeds of $87.5 million in property-level debt financing and made draws of $129.0 million on our Revolving Credit Facility with JPMorgan during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. These proceeds were used primarily to provide cash for the acquisition of real estate investments during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The Revolving Credit Facility with JPMorgan had an outstanding balance of $110.0 million as of September 30, 2020. See Note 4—Debt Financing for additional subsequent information relating to our Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan Facility with JPMorgan. •We made payments of $140.2 million on our property-level mortgages related to the three properties sold during 2020. Additionally, we made payments of $123.0 million on our Revolving Credit Facility with JPMorgan during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, using the proceeds from the sales of our properties and proceeds from the Follow-On Offering.
•We made payments of $75.0 million under the Hines Credit Facility to pay off our outstanding balance as of April 2020. We made no draws under this facility during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. We have not had any amounts outstanding under this facility since April 2020.
Nine months ended September 30, 2019
•We received proceeds of $229.6 million in permanent mortgage financing as well as draws on our Revolving Credit Facility with JPMorgan. Use of these proceeds was primarily to provide cash for the acquisitions of real estate investments during the nine months ended September 30, 2019. We made draws of approximately $52.0 million and no payments on the Revolving Credit Facility with JPMorgan during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, resulting in an outstanding balance of $52.0 million as of September 30, 2019.
•We borrowed $81.0 million under the Hines Credit Facility primarily to provide cash for the acquisitions of real estate investments during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, and made payments of $99.0 million on this facility. We had an outstanding balance of $37.0 million under the Hines Credit Facility as of September 30, 2019.
•We made payments of $1.2 million in financing costs primarily related to our mortgage loans.
Results of Operations
Three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2019
The table below includes information regarding changes in our results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2019, including explanations for significant changes and any significant or unusual activity. As described more completely below, most amounts increased in 2020 compared to 2019 as a result of significant additional capital raised and invested in real estate, as offset by recent property dispositions. However, the Coronavirus pandemic had adverse effects on our results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2020, which offset some of the increases resulting from our acquisition activity. These effects were primarily due to rent concessions at our retail properties and rent refunds at our international student housing properties. Our other segments were not materially affected. To the extent the Coronavirus pandemic causes additional adverse conditions at our properties, our results in future periods could also be affected. All amounts are in thousands, except for percentages:

* Not a meaningful percentage
Total revenues: The increase in total revenue is primarily due to the additional real estate investments acquired between September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2020, offset by dispositions during the same period. We acquired eight and disposed of three real estate investments since September 30, 2019 and had a portfolio of twenty real estate investments as of September 30, 2020 that contained 9.5 million leasable square feet, of which 94% was leased. Despite this increase, total revenues of our same-store properties decreased $1.9 million between the three months ended September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019. Please refer to our “Same Store Analysis” below for additional discussion on the results of operations of our portfolio.
Property operating expenses: The increase in property operating expenses is primarily due to our significant net acquisition activity since September 30, 2019, as described above. Property operating expenses of our same-store properties increased $0.2 million between the three months ended September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019. Please refer to our “Same Store Analysis” below for additional discussion on the results of operations of our portfolio.
Real property taxes: The increase in real property taxes is primarily due to our significant net acquisition activity since September 30, 2019, as described above. Real property taxes of our same-store properties increased $55,000 between the three months ended September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019. Please refer to our “Same Store Analysis” below for additional discussion on the results of operations of our portfolio.
Property management fees: The increase in property management fees is primarily due to our significant net acquisition activity since September 30, 2019, as described above. Property management fees increased $0.1 million between the three months ended September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019. Please refer to our “Same Store Analysis” below for additional discussion on the results of operations of our portfolio.
Depreciation and amortization: The increase in depreciation and amortization expense is primarily due to the additional real estate investments acquired since September 30, 2019, offset by dispositions during the same period, as previously described.
Asset management fees: Asset management fees are charged based on the aggregate valuation of our real estate investments, as most recently determined in connection with the determination of our NAV. The increase in these fees is primarily due to the additional real estate investments made since September 30, 2019, offset by dispositions during the same period, as previously described.
Performance participation allocation: The decrease in performance participation allocation is a result of the fee not being earned by the Advisor for the three months ended September 30, 2020 due to a decline in our NAV per share during 2020. Please see Item 2—Management’s Discussion and Analysis—NAV and Distributions for additional information concerning the change in NAV per share. General and administrative expenses: General and administrative expenses increased primarily due to increased legal costs and shareholder costs. We generally expect our general and administrative expenses to continue to increase as we continue raising capital from our Follow-On Offering.
Gain (loss) on derivative instruments: We enter into interest rate hedging instruments in order to limit our exposure against the variability of future interest rates on our variable interest rate borrowings as well as foreign currency forward contracts as economic hedges against the variability of foreign exchange rates. During the three months ended September 30, 2020, such losses were primarily related to the position of our foreign currency forward contracts.
Gain (loss) on investments in real estate-related securities: We hold investments in real estate-related securities which consist of common equities, preferred equities and debt investments of publicly traded REITs. These amounts include realized gains (losses) related to securities sold during the year and unrealized gains (losses) based on values determined on a recurring basis. The gain on securities during the three months ended September 30, 2020 is primarily due to $1.4 million of unrealized gains on the portfolio resulting from market recovery from the lows earlier in the year, which related to the Coronavirus pandemic. For information about the valuation of our investments in real estate-related securities, see Note 8—Fair Value Measurements in the notes to the accompanying financial statements. Foreign currency gains (losses): Foreign currency gains (losses) primarily reflects the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on transactions that were denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the related entity. During the three months ended September 30, 2020, these gains were primarily related to the effect of remeasuring debt and cash held in foreign currencies into their related functional currencies.
Interest expense: Interest expense increased due to the net increase in our principal amount of indebtedness outstanding during the period resulting from additional real estate investments acquired since September 30, 2019, as offset by the effects of the properties sold during 2020.
Interest and other income: Primarily relates to interest and dividend income associated with our investments in real estate-related securities. The decrease in interest and dividend income earned during the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to 2019 is primarily related to market reaction to the Coronavirus pandemic.
Benefit (provision) for income taxes: Benefit for income taxes increased nearly $90,000 primarily as a result of recent changes in tax laws related to our international student housing properties and their effect on book / tax timing differences at these properties.
Same-Store Analysis
We evaluate our consolidated results of operations on a same-store basis, which allows us to analyze our property operating results excluding the effects of acquisitions and dispositions during the periods under comparison. Properties in our portfolio are considered same-store if they were owned for the full periods presented. Same-store properties for the three months ended September 30, 2020 includes eight properties. The tables below include additional information regarding the operating results of our same-store properties for the current period as compared to the same period in the prior year.
The following table presents the same-store revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2020, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2019, by reportable segment. Total revenues increased by 17% primarily as a result of eight additional property acquisitions made between September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2020 as offset by the dispositions of three properties in 2020. However, revenues of our same-store properties decreased by 9% primarily due to the adverse effects of the Coronavirus pandemic on our retail properties and international student housing properties, as described above. To the extent the Coronavirus pandemic causes additional adverse conditions at our properties, our results in future periods could also be affected. See below for additional explanations of notable changes in same-store revenues. All amounts are in thousands, except for percentages.

(1)The decrease is due to a decline in rental revenue from tenant vacancies and one tenant reducing their leased space. The property was 97% leased at September 30, 2019 compared to 88% leased at September 30, 2020. We are currently in discussions with prospective tenants to re-lease some of the vacant space. Additionally, we have recently undertaken capital projects to improve tenant amenities to enhance our ability to lease the remaining vacant space.
(2)The decrease is primarily due to rent concessions negotiated with our tenants due to the impact of the Coronavirus pandemic.
(3)The decrease is primarily due to rent refunds granted to our student housing tenants resulting from school closures in response to the Coronavirus pandemic, as well as due to the closing of one of our student housing properties in August 2020 for renovation and replacement of certain building safety equipment systems.
The following table presents the property expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2020, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2019, by reportable segment. Property expenses increased by 33% primarily as a result of eight additional property acquisitions made between September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2020 as offset by the dispositions of three properties during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. However, property expenses of our same-store properties only increased by 5%, by comparison. See below for additional explanations of notable changes in same-store property expenses. All amounts are in thousands, except for percentages.

The following table presents revenues in excess of property expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2020, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2019, by reportable segment. Total revenues in excess of property expenses increased 6% primarily as a result of our significant recent acquisition activity, as offset by our recent dispositions. However, total revenues in excess of property expenses of our same-store properties decreased by 20%, primarily due to adverse effects of the Coronavirus pandemic on our retail properties and our international student housing properties, as described previously. To the extent the Coronavirus pandemic causes additional adverse conditions at our properties, our results in future periods could also be affected.

The table below includes information regarding changes in our results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019, including explanations for significant changes and any significant or unusual activity. As described more completely below, most amounts increased in 2020 compared to 2019 as a result of significant additional capital raised and invested in real estate. As described previously, the Coronavirus pandemic had adverse effects on our results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2020, which offset some of the increases from our acquisition activity. These effects were primarily due to rent concessions at our retail properties and rent refunds at our international student housing properties. Our other segments were not materially affected. To the extent the Coronavirus pandemic causes additional adverse conditions at our properties, our results in future periods could also be affected. All amounts are in thousands, except for percentages.

Total revenues: The increase in total revenue is primarily due to the additional real estate investments acquired between September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2020, offset by dispositions during the same period. We acquired eight and disposed of three real estate investments between September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2020 and had a portfolio of twenty real estate investments as of September 30, 2020 that contained 9.5 million leasable square feet, of which 94% was leased. Despite this increase, total revenues of our same-store properties decreased $5.4 million between the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019. Please refer to our “Same Store Analysis” below for additional discussion on the results of operations of our portfolio.
Property operating expenses: The increase in property operating expenses is primarily due to our significant net acquisition activity since September 30, 2019, as described above. Property operating expenses of our same-store properties increased $0.2 million between the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019. Please refer to our “Same Store Analysis” below for additional discussion on the results of operations of our portfolio.
Real property taxes: The increase in real property taxes is primarily due to our significant net acquisition activity since September 30, 2019. Despite this increase, real property taxes of our same-store properties decreased $16,000 between the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019. Please refer to our “Same Store Analysis” below for additional discussion on the results of operations of our portfolio.
Property management fees: The increase in property management fees is primarily due to our significant net acquisition activity since September 30, 2019. Property management fees of our same-store properties increased $0.1 million between the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019. Please refer to our “Same Store Analysis” below for additional discussion on the results of operations of our portfolio.
Depreciation and amortization: The increase in depreciation and amortization expense is primarily due to the additional real estate investments acquired since September 30, 2019, offset by dispositions during the same period, as previously described.
Asset management fees: Asset management fees are charged based on the aggregate valuation of our real estate investments, as most recently determined in connection with the determination of our NAV. The increase in these fees is primarily due to the additional real estate investments made since September 30, 2019, as previously described.
Performance participation allocation: The decrease in performance participation allocation is a result of the fee not being earned by the Advisor for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 due to a decline in our NAV per share during 2020. Please see Item 2—Management’s Discussion and Analysis—NAV and Distributions for additional information concerning the change in NAV per share. General and administrative expenses: General and administrative expenses increased primarily due to increased legal costs and shareholder costs. We generally expect our general and administrative expenses to continue to increase as we continue raising capital from our Follow-On Offering.
Gain (loss) on derivative instruments: We enter into interest rate hedging instruments in order to limit our exposure against the variability of future interest rates on our variable interest rate borrowings as well as foreign currency forward contracts as economic hedges against the variability of foreign exchange rates. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, gains were primarily related to the position of our foreign currency forward contracts.
Gain (loss) on investments in real estate-related securities: We hold investments in real estate-related securities, which consist of common equities, preferred equities and debt investments of publicly traded REITs. These amounts include realized gains (losses) related to securities sold during the year and unrealized gains (losses) based on values determined on a recurring basis. The loss on securities during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 is due to realized and unrealized losses on the portfolio resulting from the lows earlier in the year, which related to the Coronavirus pandemic. For information about the valuation of our investments in real estate-related securities, see Note 8—Fair Value Measurements in the notes to the accompanying financial statements. Gain on sale of real estate: We acquired the Domain Apartments in January 2016 for a contract purchase price of $58.1 million and we sold the Domain Apartments for a contract sales price of $80.1 million on January 7, 2020 and we recognized a gain of $29.5 million related to this sale. Additionally, we acquired Goodyear Crossing II in August 2016 for a contract purchase price of $56.2 million and we sold Goodyear Crossing II for a contract sales price of $72.0 million on February 14, 2020 and we recognized a gain of $20.2 million related to this sale. We acquired Bishop’s Square in March 2015 for €92.0 million (approximately $103.5 million assuming a rate of $1.13 per EUR as of the acquisition date) and we sold Bishop’s Square in April 2020 for €181.6 million (approximately $198.0 million assuming a rate of $1.09 per EUR as of the date of transaction). We recognized a gain on sale of this asset of $80.4 million, excluding taxes related to the sale, which are described below. We had no property dispositions during the nine months ended September 30, 2019.
Foreign currency gains (losses): Foreign currency gains (losses) primarily reflects the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on transactions that were denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the related entity. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, these losses were primarily related to the effect of remeasuring cash held in foreign currencies into their related functional currencies.
Interest expense: Interest expense increased due to the net increase in our principal amount of indebtedness outstanding during the period resulting from additional real estate investments acquired since September 30, 2019, as offset by the effects of the properties sold during 2020.
Interest and other income: Primarily relates to interest and dividend income associated with our investments in real estate-related securities. The increase in interest and dividend income earned during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to 2019 is due to additional investments in real estate-related securities since September 30, 2019.
Benefit (provision) for income taxes: Benefit for income taxes increased nearly $2.0 million primarily as a result of recent changes in tax laws related to our international student housing properties and their effect on book / tax timing differences at these properties.
Provision for income taxes related to sale of real estate: The increase during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to 2019 relates to the income tax incurred as a result of the sale of Bishop’s Square during April 2020, as described above.
Same-Store Analysis
We evaluate our consolidated results of operations on a same-store basis, which allows us to analyze our property operating results excluding the effects of acquisitions and dispositions during the periods under comparison. Properties in our portfolio are considered same-store if they were owned for the full periods presented. Same-store properties for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 includes seven properties. The tables below include additional information regarding the operating results of our same-store properties for the current period as compared to the same period in the prior year.
The following table presents the same-store revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019, by reportable segment. Total revenues increased by 29% primarily as a result of eight additional property acquisitions made between September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2020, as offset by the dispositions of three properties during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. However, revenues of our same-store properties decreased by 10% primarily due to the adverse effects of the Coronavirus pandemic on our retail properties and international student housing properties, as described above. To the extent the Coronavirus pandemic causes additional adverse conditions at our properties, our results in future periods could also be affected. See below for additional explanations of notable changes in same-store revenues.

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, impairment charges related to depreciable real estate assets and in-substance real estate equity investments and realized and unrealized gains and losses related to investments in real estate-related securities, 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:
•Prior to January 1, 2018, FFO included 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 funded such costs with proceeds from our public offerings and/or acquisition-related indebtedness and did not consider these fees and expenses in the evaluation of our operating performance. In January 2018, we adopted ASU 2017-01 which clarified the definition of a business and added guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. 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 incurred will be capitalized and included in the allocated purchase price 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. Additionally, effective as of December 6, 2017, we no longer pay acquisition fees to our Advisor.
•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, 2020 and 2019 and the period from inception through September 30, 2020 (in thousands, except per share amounts). As we are in the capital raising and acquisition phase of our operations, FFO may not be 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)Represents the realized and unrealized gains and losses related to investments in real estate-related securities, which consist of common equities, preferred equities and debt investments of publicly traded REITs. These securities are incidental to our operations. As such, these gains and losses were excluded from our determination of FFO, as defined by NAREIT, in the current period. Additionally, certain immaterial amounts have now been included in prior periods for comparative purposes.
(3)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, 2020, the Dealer Manager earned distribution and stockholder servicing fees of $1.4 million and $4.3 million, respectively, which are paid by Hines Global. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Dealer Manager earned distribution and stockholder servicing fees of $1.1 million and $2.6 million, respectively. Total distribution and stockholder servicing fees earned by the Dealer Manager from inception through September 30, 2020 were $12.0 million.
•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 subject to the Company earning a 5% total return annually, after considering the effect of any losses carried forward from the prior year. The performance participation allocation accrues monthly and is payable after the completion of each calendar year. We do not consider the performance participation allocation in evaluating our operating performance. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, we did not incur any performance participation allocation fees. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, we incurred $1.1 million and $3.7 million in performance participation allocation fees, respectively. Total performance participation allocation fees incurred were $13.9 million from inception through September 30, 2020. Refer to Note 7—Related Party Transactions for more information on the performance participation allocation.
•For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, we recorded adjustments primarily related to amortization of out-of-market lease intangibles and lease incentives and straight-line rent adjustments, which resulted in a net increase to rental revenue of $0.5 million and $2.0 million, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, we recorded adjustments primarily related to amortization of out-of-market lease intangibles and lease incentives and straight-line rent adjustments, which resulted in a net increase to rental revenue of $1.2 million and $3.8 million, respectively. Total of such adjustments from inception through September 30, 2020 were $13.8 million. Included in these adjustments is the amortization of deferred financing costs, which amounted to $1.1 million and $2.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively and $0.3 million and $0.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively.
•We recorded adjustments related to derivative instruments and foreign currencies, which reduced net income by approximately $0.8 million and increased net income by approximately $6.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, these adjustments reduced net income by approximately $1.2 million and $2.7 million, respectively. The total of such adjustments from inception through September 30, 2020 increased net income by $3.1 million.
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, we funded 65% and 60% of total distributions for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, 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. 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, 2020, we declared $130.7 million of distributions to our stockholders, compared to our total aggregate FFO of $91.3 million and our total aggregate net income of $52.4 million for that period. We incurred acquisition fees and expenses of $23.3 million from inception through December 31, 2017 in connection with our real estate investments, which were recorded as reductions to net income (loss) and FFO. We adopted ASU 2017-01 on January 1, 2018, which allows us to capitalize acquisition-related costs and fees instead of treating them as operating expenses under GAAP. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we declared $39.6 million of distributions to our stockholders compared to our total aggregate FFO of $35.5 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we declared $24.5 million of distributions to our stockholders compared to our total aggregate FFO of $17.0 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. Relating to 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. Relating to 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, 2019 for additional information concerning our related party transactions and agreements.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Market risk includes risks that arise from changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, equity prices and other market changes that affect market-sensitive instruments. In pursuing our business plan, we believe that interest rate risk and currency risk are the primary market risks to which we are exposed. As of September 30, 2020, we were exposed to the following market risks.
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, 2020, we had $545 million of variable-rate debt outstanding. If interest rates were to increase by 1% and everything else remained the same, we would incur an additional $5.5 million in interest expense annually. Additionally, we have entered into interest rate cap agreements to limit our exposure to rising interest rates related to our mortgage loans secured by our investment properties. See Note 4—Debt Financing in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information concerning our outstanding debt and our interest rate exposure.
Foreign Currency Risk
We currently have real estate investments located in countries outside of the U.S. that are subject to the effects of exchange rate movements between the foreign currency of each real estate investment and the U.S. dollar, which may affect future costs and cash flows as well as amounts translated into U.S. dollars for inclusion in our condensed consolidated financial statements. We have entered into mortgage loans denominated in foreign currencies for these investments, which provide natural hedges with regard to changes in exchange rates between the foreign currencies and U.S. dollar and reduce our exposure to exchange rate differences. Additionally, we are typically a net receiver of these foreign currencies, and, as a result, our foreign operations benefit from a weaker U.S. dollar and are adversely affected by a stronger U.S. dollar. The table below identifies the effect that a 10% immediate, unfavorable change in the exchange rates would have on the net book value of our international real estate investments, including any foreign currency mortgage loans and their year-to-date net income (loss), by foreign currency (in thousands)(1):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Reduction in Book Value as of September 30, 2020 | | | Reduction in Net Income (Loss) for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020 |
EUR | | $14,401 | | | $7,185 |
GBP | | $5,926 | | | $83 |
| | | | | |
(1) Our real estate assets in Poland were purchased in Euros and we expect that when we dispose of these assets, the sale transactions will also be denominated in Euros. Accordingly, we do not expect to have Polish zloty exposure upon disposition.
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, 2020, 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
There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) during the quarter ended September 30, 2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. We have not experienced any material impact to our internal control over financial reporting to date as a result of most of the employees of Hines and its affiliates working remotely due to the Coronavirus pandemic. We are continually monitoring and assessing the Coronavirus pandemic on our internal controls to minimize the impact to their design and operating effectiveness.
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 13, 2020, neither we nor any of our subsidiaries were a party to any material pending legal proceedings.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
As of September 30, 2020, there have been no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in response to “Part I - Item 1A. ‘Risk Factors’” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, filed with the SEC on March 30, 2020 and in “Part II - Item 1A. ‘Risk Factors’” of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, filed with the SEC on May 15, 2020.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
On September 9, 2020, 3,054.99 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
Our share redemption program 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 our share redemption program will be made on a monthly basis. Subject to the limitations of and restrictions on our share redemption program, and subject to funds being available as described below, shares redeemed under our share redemption program 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 our share redemption program, we may redeem during any calendar month 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 our share redemption program 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 share was held prior to being converted into a share of another class pursuant to our charter will count toward the total hold period for such share, as converted. Upon request, we may waive the 5% holding discount in the case of 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 that we issue as stock dividends.
Unless our board of directors determines otherwise, we intend to fund redemptions pursuant to our share redemption program from any available cash sources at our 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. If during any consecutive 24-month period, we do not have at least one month in which we fully satisfy 100% of properly submitted redemption requests or accept all properly submitted tenders in a self-tender offer for our shares, we will not make any new investments (excluding short-term cash management investments under 30 days in duration) and we will use all available investable assets to satisfy redemption requests (subject to the limitations under this program) until all outstanding redemption requests, or “Unfulfilled Redemptions,” have been satisfied. For purposes of this policy, investable
assets include net proceeds from new subscription agreements, unrestricted cash, working capital, proceeds from marketable securities, proceeds from our distribution reinvestment plan, and net operating cash flows. Notwithstanding this policy, investable assets may be used at any time to fund any of our operating cash needs (as well as to establish reserves to meet such needs), including, without limitation, the following: property operating expenses, taxes and insurance, debt service and repayment or refinancing of debt, debt financing expenses, funding commitments related to real estate, including without limitation, commitments to acquire new real estate investments (provided such commitments were made at least twelve (12) months prior to the end of such 24-consecutive-month period), obligations imposed by law, courts, or arbitration, necessary capital improvements, lease-related expenditures, customary general and administrative expenses, asset management fees and other fees payable to our Advisor as described in the prospectus, or shareholder distributions. Our Advisor also will defer payment of the performance participation allocation until all Unfulfilled Redemptions are satisfied. Furthermore, our board of directors and management will consider additional ways to improve shareholder liquidity through our share redemption program or otherwise. Exceptions to the limitations of this paragraph may be made to complete like-kind exchanges under Section 1031 of the Code necessary to avoid adverse tax consequences, or to take actions necessary to maintain our qualification as a REIT under the Code.
Our board of directors has complete discretion to determine whether all available cash sources at our disposal will be applied to redemptions pursuant to the program, whether such funds are needed for other purposes or whether additional funds from other sources may be used for redemptions pursuant to the program.
If redemption requests, in the business judgment of our board of directors, place an undue burden on our liquidity, adversely affect our operations or risk having an adverse impact on stockholders whose shares are not redeemed, then our board of directors may terminate, suspend or amend the share redemption program at any time without stockholder approval, if it deems such action to be in the best interest of our stockholders. Further, our share redemption program will be terminated in the event that our shares ever become listed on a national securities exchange or in the event a secondary market for our common shares develops. In addition, our board of directors may determine to suspend the share redemption program 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 promptly disclosed 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.
Any new transaction price may be higher or lower than the most recently disclosed transaction price. The transaction price is not a representation, warranty or guarantee that (i) a stockholder would be able to realize such per share amount if such stockholder attempts to sell his or her shares; (ii) a stockholder would ultimately realize distributions per share equal to such per share amount upon our liquidation or sale; (iii) shares of our common stock would trade at such per share amount on a national securities exchange; or (iv) a third party would offer such per share amount in an arm’s-length transaction to purchase all or substantially all of our shares of common stock.
The following table lists shares we redeemed under our share redemption program during the period covered by this report, including the average price paid per share, which represents all of the share repurchase requests received for the same period.
