GOVERNMENT PROPERTIES INCOME TRUST

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(dollars in thousands, except per share data)

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of Government Properties Income Trust and its subsidiaries, or the Company, GOV, we, us or our, are unaudited. Certain information and disclosures required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, for complete financial statements have been condensed or omitted. We believe the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. However, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, or our Annual Report. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals considered necessary for a fair statement of results for the interim period have been included. All intercompany transactions and balances with or among our consolidated subsidiaries have been eliminated. Our operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. Reclassifications have been made to the prior years' condensed consolidated financial statements to conform to the current year’s presentation.

The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates in the condensed consolidated financial statements include purchase price allocations, useful lives of fixed assets, assessment of impairment of real estate and equity method investments and the valuation of intangible assets.

Note 2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

On January 1, 2018, we adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, No. 2014-09 (and related clarifying guidance issued by the FASB), Revenue From Contracts With Customers, which outlines a comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. ASU No. 2014-09 states that “an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.” While ASU No. 2014-09 specifically references contracts with customers, it may apply to certain other transactions such as the sale of real estate or equipment. A substantial portion of our revenue consists of rental income from leasing arrangements, which is specifically excluded from ASU No. 2014-09. We have adopted ASU No. 2014-09 using the modified retrospective approach, which resulted in an adjustment to reclassify a previous deferred gain on sale of real estate of $712 from accounts payable and other liabilities to cumulative net income. The adoption of ASU No. 2014-09 did not have a material impact on the amount or timing of our revenue recognition in our condensed consolidated financial statements except for profit recognition on real estate sales.

On January 1, 2018, we adopted FASB ASU No. 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, which changes how entities measure certain equity investments and present changes in the fair value of financial liabilities measured under the fair value option that are attributable to their own credit. The implementation of ASU No. 2016-01 resulted in the reclassification of historical changes in the fair value of our available for sale equity securities of $45,116 from cumulative other comprehensive income to cumulative net income. We also reclassified $15,165 from cumulative other comprehensive income to cumulative net income for our share of cumulative other comprehensive income of certain of our equity method investees. Effective January 1, 2018, changes in the fair value of our equity securities are recorded through earnings in accordance with ASU No. 2016-01.

On January 1, 2018, we adopted FASB ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, which clarifies how companies present and classify certain cash receipts and cash payments in the statements of cash flows. The implementation of this update resulted in the reclassification of $1,472 of accretion recorded in our equity in the earnings of Select Income REIT, or SIR, from cash flow from investing activities to cash flow from operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2017. See Note 12 for further information regarding our investment in SIR.

On January 1, 2018, we adopted FASB ASU No. 2016-18, Restricted Cash, which requires companies to show the changes in the total of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. The implementation of ASU 2016-18 resulted in an increase of $186 of net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2017. This update also requires a reconciliation of the totals in the statement of cash flows to the related captions in the balance sheets. As a result, amounts included in restricted cash on our condensed consolidated balance sheets are

Table of Contents

GOVERNMENT PROPERTIES INCOME TRUST

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(dollars in thousands, except per share data)

included with cash and cash equivalents on the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. Restricted cash, which consists of amounts escrowed for future real estate taxes, insurance, leasing costs, capital expenditures and debt service, as required by certain of our mortgage debts, totaled $2,448 and $344 as of June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The adoption of this update did not change our balance sheet presentation.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases, which sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both parties to a contract (i.e., lessees and lessors). ASU No. 2016-02 requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase of the leased asset by the lessee. This classification will determine whether the lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight line basis over the term of the lease. A lessee is also required to record a right of use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term of greater than 12 months regardless of their classification. Leases with a term of 12 months or less will be accounted for similar to existing guidance for operating leases today. The new standard requires lessors to account for leases using an approach that is substantially equivalent to existing guidance for sales type leases, direct financing leases and operating leases. ASU No. 2016-02 is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. We are currently assessing the potential impact the adoption of ASU No. 2016-02 will have in our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which requires that entities use a new forward looking “expected loss” model that generally will result in the earlier recognition of allowance for credit losses. The measurement of expected credit losses is based upon historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. ASU No. 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently assessing the potential impact the adoption of ASU No. 2016-13 will have in our condensed consolidated financial statements. We currently expect to adopt the standard using the modified retrospective approach.

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which aligns the measurement and classification guidance for share based payments to nonemployees with the guidance for share based payments to employees, with certain exceptions. ASU No. 2018-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently assessing the potential impact the adoption of ASU No. 2018-07 will have in our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Note 3. Weighted Average Common Shares

The following table provides a reconciliation of the weighted average number of common shares used in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share (in thousands):



	For the Three Months		For the Six Months
	Ended June 30,		Ended June 30,
	2018	2017	2018	2017
Weighted average common shares for basic earnings per share	99,051	71,088	99,046	71,083
Effect of dilutive securities: unvested share awards	13	31	4	26
Weighted average common shares for diluted earnings per share	99,064	71,119	99,050	71,109

Note 4. Real Estate Properties

As of June 30, 2018, we wholly owned 105 properties (164 buildings), with an aggregate undepreciated carrying value of $2,845,449, and had a noncontrolling ownership interest in two unconsolidated joint ventures that owned two properties (three buildings). We generally lease space at our properties on a gross lease or modified gross lease basis pursuant to fixed term contracts expiring between 2018 and 2034. Our leases generally require us to pay all or some property operating expenses and to provide all or most property management services. During the three months ended June 30, 2018, we entered into 37 leases for 396,359 rentable square feet, for a weighted (by rentable square feet) average lease term of 6.2 years and we made commitments for $6,810 of leasing related costs. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, we entered into 70 leases for 676,778 rentable square feet, for a weighted (by rentable square feet) average lease term of 5.9 years and we made

Table of Contents

GOVERNMENT PROPERTIES INCOME TRUST

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(dollars in thousands, except per share data)

commitments for $14,808 of leasing related costs. As of June 30, 2018, we have estimated unspent leasing related obligations of $32,609.

We regularly evaluate whether events or changes in circumstances have occurred that could indicate an impairment in the value of our long lived assets. If there is an indication that the carrying value of an asset is not recoverable, we estimate the projected undiscounted cash flows to determine if an impairment loss should be recognized. We determine the amount of any impairment loss by comparing the historical carrying value to estimated fair value. We estimate fair value through an evaluation of recent financial performance and projected discounted cash flows using standard industry valuation techniques. In addition to evaluating for impairment upon the events or changes in circumstances described above, we regularly evaluate the remaining lives of our long lived assets. If we change our estimate of the remaining lives, we allocate the carrying value of the affected assets over their revised remaining lives.

Disposition Activities

In March 2018, we sold an office property (one building) located in Minneapolis, MN with 193,594 rentable square feet for $20,000, excluding closing costs. We recorded a $640 loss on impairment of real estate to reduce the carrying value of this property to its estimated fair value less costs to sell during the three months ended March 31, 2018.

In February 2018, we entered an agreement to sell an office property (one building) located in Safford, AZ with 36,139 rentable square feet for $8,250. We recorded a $2,453 loss on impairment of real estate to reduce the carrying value of the property to its estimated fair value less costs to sell in the three months ended March 31, 2018. In April 2018, we terminated the sales agreement and removed this property from held for sale status. We recorded a $322 adjustment to impairment of real estate to increase the carrying value of the property to its estimated fair value in the three months ended June 30, 2018.

In May 2018, we sold an office property (one building) located in New York, NY with 187,060 rentable square feet for $118,500, excluding closing costs. We recorded a $17,329 gain on sale of real estate during the three months ended June 30, 2018 as a result of this sale.

In May 2018, we sold an office property (one building) located in Sacramento, CA with 110,500 rentable square feet for $10,755, excluding closing costs. We recorded a loss on impairment of real estate of $3,023 and $6 to reduce the carrying value of this property to its estimated fair value less costs to sell during the three months ended March 31, 2018 and June 30, 2018, respectively.

As part of our long term plans to reduce our leverage, we expect to sell additional properties. We are marketing or plan to market for sale 24 properties (56 buildings) with an aggregate carrying value of $506,741 as of June 30, 2018. These properties did not meet the held for sale criteria as of June 30, 2018.

We cannot be sure we will sell any of our properties that we are marketing or plan to market for sale or sell them for prices in excess of our carrying values or that we will not recognize impairment losses with respect to these properties.

Pro Forma Financial Information

On October 2, 2017, we acquired First Potomac Realty Trust, or FPO, pursuant to a merger transaction, as a result of which we acquired 35 office properties (72 buildings) with 6,028,072 rentable square feet and FPO's 50% and 51% interests in two joint ventures that own two properties (three buildings) with 443,867 rentable square feet, or collectively, the FPO Transaction. The aggregate value we paid at the closing of the FPO Transaction was $1,370,888. We financed the FPO Transaction with the assumption of certain FPO mortgage debt, borrowings under our revolving credit facility and cash on hand, including net proceeds from our public offerings of common shares and senior unsecured notes.

The following table presents our pro forma results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2017 as if the FPO Transaction and related financing activities had occurred on January 1, 2017. The historical FPO results of operations included in this pro forma financial information have been adjusted to eliminate the results of operations of FPO properties and joint venture interests that were sold from January 1, 2017 to October 2, 2017, the closing date of the FPO Transaction. The effect of these adjustments was a decrease in pro forma rental income of $804 and a decrease in net income of $46,881 for the six months ended June 30, 2017.

Unconsolidated Joint Ventures

We own noncontrolling interests in two joint ventures that own two properties (three buildings). We account for these investments under the equity method of accounting. As of June 30, 2018, our investment in unconsolidated joint ventures consisted of the following:



Joint Venture	GOV Ownership	GOV Carrying Value of Investment at June 30, 2018		Property Type	Number of Buildings	Location	Square Feet
Prosperity Metro Plaza	51%	$	25,669	Office	2	Fairfax, VA	328,456
1750 H Street, NW	50%	21,043		Office	1	Washington, DC	115,411
Total		$	46,712		3		443,867

The following table provides a summary of the mortgage debt of our unconsolidated joint ventures:



Joint Venture	Interest Rate ⁽¹⁾	Maturity Date	Principal Balance at June 30, 2018 ⁽²⁾
Prosperity Metro Plaza	4.09%	12/1/2029	$	50,000

(2)	Reflects the entire balance of the debt secured by the properties and is not adjusted to reflect the interests in the joint venture we do not own. None of the debt is recourse to us.

At June 30, 2018, the aggregate $8,688 unamortized basis difference of our unconsolidated joint ventures is primarily attributable to the difference between the amount we paid to purchase our interest in these joint ventures, including transaction costs, and the historical carrying value of the net assets of these joint ventures. This difference is being amortized over the remaining useful life of the properties owned by these joint ventures and the resulting amortization expense is included in equity in net earnings of investees in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

Note 5. Revenue Recognition

We recognize rental income from operating leases that contain fixed contractual rent changes on a straight line basis over the term of the lease agreements. Certain of our leases with government tenants provide the tenant the right to terminate before the lease expiration date if the legislature or other funding authority does not appropriate the funding necessary for the government tenant to meet its lease obligations; we have determined the fixed non-cancelable lease term of these leases to be the full term of the lease because we believe the occurrence of early terminations to be remote contingencies based on both our historical experience and our assessments of the likelihood of lease cancellation on a separate lease basis.

We increased rental income to record revenue on a straight line basis by $2,744 and $1,104 for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and $5,835 and $2,404 for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Rents receivable include $32,001 and $27,267 of straight line rent receivables, net of allowance for doubtful accounts of $1,426 and $1,503 at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.

Note 6. Concentration

Tenant and Credit Concentration

We define annualized rental income as the annualized contractual base rents from our tenants pursuant to our lease agreements as of the measurement date, plus straight line rent adjustments and estimated recurring expense reimbursements to be paid to us, and excluding lease value amortization. The U.S. Government, 13 state governments and three other government tenants combined were responsible for approximately 61.9% and 87.6% of our annualized rental income as of June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The U.S. Government is our largest tenant by annualized rental income and was responsible for approximately 45.2% and 59.6% of our annualized rental income as of June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Geographic Concentration

At June 30, 2018, our 105 consolidated properties (164 buildings) were located in 30 states and the District of Columbia. Consolidated properties located in Virginia, the District of Columbia, Maryland, California and Georgia were responsible for 24.0%, 18.1%, 15.5%, 9.4% and 6.1% of our annualized rental income as of June 30, 2018, respectively. Consolidated properties located in the metropolitan Washington, D.C. market area were responsible for approximately 44.6% of our annualized rental income as of June 30, 2018.

Note 7. Indebtedness

Our principal debt obligations at June 30, 2018 were: (1) $452,000 of outstanding borrowings under our $750,000 unsecured revolving credit facility; (2) $550,000 aggregate outstanding principal amount of unsecured term loans; (3) $960,000 aggregate outstanding principal amount of senior unsecured notes; and (4) $181,339 aggregate outstanding principal amount of mortgage notes.

Our $750,000 revolving credit facility, our $300,000 term loan and our $250,000 term loan are governed by a credit agreement, or our credit agreement, with a syndicate of institutional lenders that includes a number of features common to all of these credit arrangements. Our credit agreement also includes a feature under which the maximum aggregate borrowing availability may be increased to up to $2,500,000 on a combined basis in certain circumstances.

Our $750,000 revolving credit facility is available for general business purposes, including acquisitions. The maturity date of our revolving credit facility is January 31, 2019 and, subject to the payment of an extension fee and meeting other conditions, we have an option to extend the stated maturity date of our revolving credit facility by one year to January 31, 2020. We can borrow, repay and reborrow funds available under our revolving credit facility until maturity and no principal repayment is due until maturity. We are required to pay interest at a rate of LIBOR plus a premium, which was 125 basis points per annum at June 30, 2018, on borrowings under our revolving credit facility. We also pay a facility fee on the total amount of lending commitments under our revolving credit facility, which was 25 basis points per annum at June 30, 2018. Both the interest rate premium and the facility fee are subject to adjustment based upon changes to our credit ratings. As of June 30, 2018, the annual interest rate payable on borrowings under our revolving credit facility was 3.2% and the weighted average annual interest rate for borrowings under our revolving credit facility was 3.0% and 2.2% for the three months ended June 30,

2018 and 2017, respectively, and 2.9% and 2.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. As of both June 30, 2018 and July 31, 2018, we had $452,000 outstanding under our revolving credit facility.

Our $300,000 term loan, which matures on March 31, 2020, is prepayable without penalty at any time. We are required to pay interest at a rate of LIBOR plus a premium, which was 140 basis points per annum at June 30, 2018, on the amount outstanding under our $300,000 term loan. The interest rate premium is subject to adjustment based upon changes to our credit ratings. As of June 30, 2018, the annual interest rate for the amount outstanding under our $300,000 term loan was 3.5%. The weighted average annual interest rate under our $300,000 term loan was 3.3% and 2.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and 3.2% and 2.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Our $250,000 term loan, which matures on March 31, 2022, is prepayable without penalty at any time. We are required to pay interest at a rate of LIBOR plus a premium, which was 180 basis points per annum as of June 30, 2018, on the amount outstanding under our $250,000 term loan. The interest rate premium is subject to adjustment based upon changes to our credit ratings. As of June 30, 2018, the annual interest rate for the amount outstanding under our $250,000 term loan was 3.9%. The weighted average annual interest rate under our $250,000 term loan was 3.7% and 2.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and 3.6% and 2.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Our credit agreement and senior unsecured notes indentures and their supplements provide for acceleration of payment of all amounts due thereunder upon the occurrence and continuation of certain events of default, such as, in the case of our credit agreement, a change of control of us, which includes The RMR Group LLC, or RMR LLC, ceasing to act as our business and property manager. Our credit agreement and our senior unsecured notes indentures and their supplements also contain a number of covenants, including covenants that restrict our ability to incur debts, require us to maintain certain financial ratios and, in the case of our credit agreement, restrict our ability to make distributions under certain circumstances. We believe we were in compliance with the terms and conditions of the respective covenants under our credit agreement and senior unsecured notes indentures and their supplements at June 30, 2018.

At June 30, 2018, eight of our consolidated properties (eight buildings) with an aggregate net book value of $422,583 were encumbered by eight mortgages for an aggregate principal amount of $181,339. Our mortgage notes are non-recourse, subject to certain limited exceptions and do not contain any material financial covenants.

We assumed these mortgages in connection with our acquisitions of the encumbered properties. The stated interest rates for these mortgage debts are the contractually stated rates. We recorded the assumed mortgages at estimated fair value on the date of acquisition and we are amortizing the fair value premiums, if any, to interest expense over the respective terms of the mortgages to reduce interest expense to the estimated market interest rates as of the date of acquisition.

We estimated the fair value of our senior unsecured notes due 2019 and due 2022 using an average of the bid and ask price of the notes as of the measurement date (Level 2 inputs as defined in the fair value hierarchy under GAAP). We estimated the fair value of our senior unsecured notes due 2046 based on the closing price on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC, or Nasdaq, as of the measurement date (Level 1 inputs as defined in the fair value hierarchy under GAAP). We estimated the fair values of our mortgage notes payable by using discounted cash flow analyses and currently prevailing market terms as of the measurement date (Level 3 inputs as defined in the fair value hierarchy under GAAP). Because Level 3 inputs are unobservable, our estimated fair value may differ materially from the actual fair value.

The net business management fees payable to RMR LLC include $737 and $893 of estimated business management fee expense for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The amount of estimated business management incentive fees that we accrue for a period, if any, are based on our common share total return, as defined under our business management agreement with RMR LLC, as of the end of the applicable period. Although we recognized estimated incentive fees in accordance with GAAP, the actual amount of incentive fees payable to RMR LLC for 2018, if any, will be based on our common share total return, as defined, for the three year period ending December 31, 2018, and will be payable in 2019. No incentive management fee was payable for the year ended December 31, 2017. These amounts are included in general and administrative expenses in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

chief executive officer of SIR. RMR LLC provides management services to SIR and us. See Note 12 for further information regarding our investment in SIR.

AIC. We, ABP Trust, SIR and four other companies to which RMR LLC provides management services currently own AIC in equal amounts. We and the other AIC shareholders participate in a combined property insurance program arranged and reinsured in part by AIC. We currently expect to pay, as of June 30, 2018, aggregate annual premiums, including taxes and fees, of approximately $1,211 in connection with this insurance program for the policy year ending June 30, 2019, which amount may be adjusted from time to time as we acquire and dispose of properties that are included in this insurance program.

Our other comprehensive income includes our proportionate part of unrealized gains on securities that are owned by AIC related to our investment in AIC.

For further information about these and other such relationships and certain other related person transactions, refer to our Annual Report.

Note 12. Equity Investment in Select Income REIT

As described in Note 11, as of June 30, 2018, we owned 24,918,421, or approximately 27.8%, of the then outstanding SIR common shares. SIR is a real estate investment trust that owns properties that are primarily net leased to single tenants. We account for our investment in SIR under the equity method. Under the equity method, we record our proportionate share of SIR’s net income as equity in net earnings of investees in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. We recorded $4,301 and $8,207 of equity in the earnings of SIR for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and $14,590 and $10,818 of equity in the earnings of SIR for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Our other comprehensive income includes our proportionate share of SIR’s unrealized gains (losses) of $24 and ($389) for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and $75 and $4,103 for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

The adjusted GAAP cost basis of our investments in SIR was less than our proportionate share of SIR’s total shareholders’ equity book value on the dates we acquired the shares. As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, our basis difference was $121,535 and $87,137, respectively, and as required under GAAP, we are accreting this basis difference to earnings over the estimated remaining useful lives of certain real estate assets and intangible assets and liabilities owned by SIR. The increase in the basis difference primarily relates to SIR's capital finance activities and changes in its net equity during the six months ended June 30, 2018. This accretion increased our equity in the earnings of SIR by $1,044 and $736 for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and $2,088 and $1,472 for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

As of June 30, 2018, our investment in SIR had a carrying value of $456,756 and a market value, based on the closing price of SIR common shares on Nasdaq on June 30, 2018, of $559,917. We periodically evaluate our equity investment in SIR for possible indicators of other than temporary impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the investment might not be recoverable. These indicators may include the length of time the market value of our investment is below our cost basis, the financial condition of SIR, our intent and ability to be a long term holder of the investment and other considerations. If the decline in fair value is judged to be other than temporary, we may record an impairment charge to adjust the basis of the investment to its fair value.

We received aggregate cash distributions from SIR of $12,708 during each of the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, and $25,417 and $25,416 during the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following information should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, or our Annual Report.

OVERVIEW (dollars in thousands, except per share data)

We are a real estate investment trust, or REIT, organized under Maryland law. As of June 30, 2018, we wholly owned 105 properties (164 buildings) and had a noncontrolling ownership interest in two properties (three buildings) totaling 443,867 rentable square feet through two unconsolidated joint ventures in which we owned 50% and 51% interests. As of June 30, 2018, our consolidated properties are located in 30 states and the District of Columbia and contain 17,045,951 rentable square feet, of which 42.0% was leased to the U.S. Government, 14.7% was leased to 13 state governments, 1.5% was leased to three other government tenants, 5.9% was leased to government contractor tenants, 29.9% was leased to various other non-governmental organizations and 6.0% was available for lease. In aggregate, government tenants were responsible for 61.9% and 87.6% of our annualized rental income as of June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The term annualized rental income as used herein is defined as the annualized contractual base rents from our tenants pursuant to our lease agreements as of the measurement date, plus straight line rent adjustments and estimated recurring expense reimbursements to be paid to us, and excluding lease value amortization.

On October 2, 2017, we acquired First Potomac Realty Trust, or FPO, pursuant to a merger transaction, as a result of which we acquired 35 office properties (72 buildings) with 6,028,072 rentable square feet and FPO's 50% and 51% interests in two joint ventures that owned two properties (three buildings) with 443,867 rentable square feet, or collectively, the FPO Transaction. The properties we acquired in the FPO Transaction significantly increased our property portfolio and the proportion of our total annualized revenues that we earn from properties located in the metropolitan Washington, D.C. market area, which includes Washington, D.C., Northern Virginia and suburban Maryland.

As of June 30, 2018, we owned 24,918,421 common shares, or approximately 27.8% of the then outstanding common shares, of Select Income REIT, or SIR. SIR is a REIT that owns properties that are primarily net leased to single tenants. See Notes 11 and 12 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information regarding our investment in SIR. We account for our investment in SIR under the equity method.

Consolidated Property Operations

As of June 30, 2018, 94.0% of our consolidated rentable square feet was leased, compared to 95.0% of our consolidated rentable square feet as of June 30, 2017, which excludes one property (one building) classified as discontinued operations which was sold in August 2017.

(1)	Tenant improvements include capital expenditures used to improve tenants’ space or amounts paid directly to tenants to improve their space.


(2)	Leasing costs include leasing related costs, such as brokerage commissions and other tenant inducements.


(3)	Building improvements generally include expenditures to replace obsolete building components and expenditures that extend the useful life of existing assets.


(4)	Development, redevelopment and other activities generally include (i) capital expenditures that are identified at the time of a property acquisition and incurred within a short time period after acquiring the property, and (ii) capital expenditure projects that reposition a property or result in new sources of revenue.

As of June 30, 2018, we have estimated unspent leasing related obligations of $32,609.

We believe that current government budgetary methodology, spending priorities and the current U.S. presidential administration's views on the size and scope of government employment have resulted in a decrease in government employment, government tenants reducing their space utilization per employee and consolidation of government tenants into existing government owned properties, thereby reducing the demand for government leased space. Our historical experience with respect to properties of the type we own that are majority leased to government tenants has been that government tenants frequently renew leases to avoid the costs and disruptions that may result from relocating their operations. However, efforts to reduce space utilization rates may result in our tenants exercising early termination rights under our leases, vacating our properties upon expiration of our leases in order to relocate, or renewing their leases for less space than they currently occupy. Also, our government tenants' desires to reconfigure leased office space to reduce utilization per employee may require us to spend significant amounts for tenant improvements, and tenant relocations have become more prevalent than our past experiences in instances where efforts by government tenants to reduce their space utilization require a significant reconfiguration of currently leased space. Increasing uncertainty with respect to government agency budgets and funding to implement relocations, consolidations and reconfigurations recently has resulted in delayed decisions by some of our government tenants and their reliance on short term lease renewals. At present, we are unable to reasonably project what the financial impact of market conditions or changing government circumstances will be on our financial results for future periods.

As of June 30, 2018, we derived 44.6% of our annualized revenues from our consolidated properties located in the metropolitan Washington, D.C. market area. A downturn in economic conditions in this area could result in reduced demand from tenants for our properties in this area or reduce the rents that our tenants in this area are willing to pay when our leases expire or terminate and when renewal or new terms are negotiated. Additionally, in recent years there has been a decrease in demand for new leased space by the U.S. Government in the metropolitan Washington, D.C. market area, and that could increase competition for government tenants and adversely affect our ability to retain U.S. Government tenants when our leases expire.

The U.S. Internal Revenue Service, or the IRS, has publicly stated that it plans to discontinue its paper tax return processing operations at our property located in Fresno, CA in 2021. The IRS lease for this property, which accounted for approximately 2.0% of our annualized rental income as of June 30, 2018, expires in the fourth quarter of 2021. The IRS has also publicly stated that it plans to discontinue its paper tax return processing operations in Covington, KY in 2019. Our property located in Florence, KY is leased to the IRS and we believe it is used to support the Covington, KY operations. This IRS lease, which accounted for approximately 0.6% of our annualized rental income as of June 30, 2018, expires in the second quarter of 2022, but is subject to possible early termination by our tenant. Despite its public announcements, the IRS has not provided us any official notices of its intentions regarding these properties.

As of June 30, 2018, we had leases at our consolidated properties totaling 1,713,824 rentable square feet that were scheduled to expire through June 30, 2019. As of July 31, 2018, tenants with leases totaling 602,938 rentable square feet that

are scheduled to expire through June 30, 2019, have notified us that they do not plan to renew their leases upon expiration and we cannot be sure as to whether other tenants may or may not renew their leases upon expiration. Based upon current market conditions and tenant negotiations for leases scheduled to expire through June 30, 2019, we expect that the rental rates we are likely to achieve on new or renewed leases for space under leases expiring through June 30, 2019 will, in the aggregate and on a weighted (by annualized revenues) average basis, be lower than the rates currently being paid, thereby generally resulting in lower revenue from the same space. We cannot be sure of the rental rates which will result from our ongoing negotiations regarding lease renewals or any new leases we may enter; also, we may experience material declines in our rental income due to vacancies upon lease expirations or early terminations. Prevailing market conditions and government and other tenants' needs at the time we negotiate and enter leases or lease renewals will generally determine rental rates and demand for leased space at our properties, and market conditions and government and other tenants' needs are beyond our control.

As of June 30, 2018, lease expirations at our consolidated properties by year are as follows (dollars in thousands):

The year of lease expiration is pursuant to current contract terms. Some government tenants have the right to vacate their space before the stated expirations of their leases. As of June 30, 2018, government tenants occupying approximately 9.2% of our consolidated rentable square feet and responsible for approximately 8.0% of our annualized rental income as of June 30, 2018 have currently exercisable rights to terminate their leases before the stated terms of their leases expire. Also, in 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, 2026, 2027 and 2028 early termination rights become exercisable by other tenants who currently occupy an additional approximately 0.5%, 5.1%, 6.6%, 1.7%, 3.5%, 0.8%, 0.2%, 0.2%, 0.6%, 0.0% and 1.0% of our consolidated rentable square feet, respectively, and contribute an additional approximately 0.5%, 4.9%, 6.6%, 1.7%, 3.1%, 0.8%, 0.3%, 0.6%, 0.8%, 0.1% and 1.0% of our annualized rental income, respectively, as of June 30, 2018. In addition, as of June 30, 2018, 26 of our government tenants have currently exercisable rights to terminate their leases if the legislature or other funding authority does not appropriate rent amounts in their respective annual budgets. These 26 tenants occupy approximately 13.5% of our consolidated rentable square feet and contribute approximately 12.9% of our annualized rental income as of June 30, 2018.


(2)	Leased square feet is pursuant to leases existing as of June 30, 2018, and includes (i) space being fitted out for tenant occupancy pursuant to our lease agreements, if any, and (ii) space which is leased, but is not occupied or is being offered for sublease by tenants, if any. Square feet measurements are subject to changes when space is re-measured or re-configured for new tenants.

(1)	Comparable properties consist of 70 consolidated properties (92 buildings) we owned on June 30, 2018 and which we owned continuously since April 1, 2017.


(2)	Acquired properties consist of 35 consolidated properties (72 buildings) we acquired since April 1, 2017. We acquired these 35 properties (72 buildings) in connection with the FPO Transaction in October 2017.


(3)	Disposed properties consist of one consolidated property (one building) which we sold in October 2017, one consolidated property (one building) which we sold in March 2018 and two consolidated properties (two buildings) which we sold during the three months ended June 30, 2018, and excludes one property (one building) classified as discontinued operations which we sold in August 2017.

The calculation of Consolidated Property Net Operating Income, or NOI, excludes certain components of net income available for common shareholders in order to provide results that are more closely related to our consolidated property level results of operations. We define Consolidated Property NOI as consolidated income from our rental of real estate less our consolidated property operating expenses. Consolidated Property NOI excludes amortization of capitalized tenant improvement costs and leasing commissions that we record as depreciation and amortization. We consider Consolidated Property NOI to be an appropriate supplemental measure to net income available for common shareholders because it may help both investors and management to understand the operations of our consolidated properties. We use Consolidated Property NOI to evaluate individual and company wide consolidated property level performance, and we believe that Consolidated Property NOI provides useful information to investors regarding our results of operations because it reflects only those income and expense items that are generated and incurred at the property level and may facilitate comparisons of our operating performance between periods and with other REITs. Consolidated Property NOI does not represent cash generated by operating activities in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, and should not be considered an alternative to net income, net income available for common shareholders or operating income as an indicator of our operating performance or as a measure of our liquidity. This measure should be considered in conjunction with net income, net income available for common shareholders and operating income as presented in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Other real estate companies and REITs may calculate Consolidated Property NOI differently than we do.

We calculate funds from operations, or FFO, available for common shareholders and normalized funds from operations, or Normalized FFO, available for common shareholders as shown above. FFO available for common shareholders is calculated on the basis defined by The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or Nareit, which is net income available for common shareholders calculated in accordance with GAAP, plus real estate depreciation and amortization of consolidated properties and our proportionate share of the real estate depreciation and amortization of unconsolidated joint venture properties and the difference between FFO attributable to an equity investment and equity in earnings of an equity investee but excluding impairment charges on and increases in the carrying value of real estate assets, any gain or loss on sale of real estate, as well as certain other adjustments currently not applicable to us. Our calculation of Normalized FFO available for common shareholders differs from Nareit's definition of FFO available for common shareholders because we include SIR's Normalized FFO attributable to our equity investment in SIR (net of FFO attributable to our equity investment in SIR), we include business management incentive fees, if any, only in the fourth quarter versus the quarter when they are recognized as expense in accordance with GAAP due to their quarterly volatility not necessarily being indicative of our core operating performance and the uncertainty as to whether any such business management incentive fees will be payable when all contingencies for determining such fees are known at the end of the calendar year and we exclude gains on issuance of shares by SIR and unrealized gains and losses on equity securities. We consider FFO available for common shareholders and Normalized FFO available for common shareholders to be appropriate supplemental measures of operating performance for a REIT, along with net income, net income available for our common shareholders and operating income. We believe that FFO available for common shareholders and Normalized FFO available for common shareholders provide useful information to investors because by excluding the effects of certain historical amounts, such as depreciation expense, FFO available for common shareholders and Normalized FFO available for common shareholders may facilitate a comparison of our operating performance between periods and with other REITs. FFO available for common shareholders and Normalized FFO available for common shareholders are among the factors considered by our Board of Trustees when determining the amount of distributions to our shareholders. Other factors include, but are not limited to, requirements to maintain our qualification for taxation as a REIT, limitations in our credit agreement and public debt covenants, the availability to us of debt and equity capital, our expectation of our future capital requirements and operating performance, our receipt of distributions from SIR and our expected needs for and availability of cash to pay our obligations. FFO available for common shareholders and Normalized FFO available for common shareholders do not represent cash generated by operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered alternatives to net income, net income available for common shareholders or operating income as indicators of our operating performance or as measures of our liquidity. These measures should be considered in conjunction with net income, net income available for common shareholders and operating income as presented in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Other real estate companies and REITs may calculate FFO available for common shareholders and Normalized FFO available for common shareholders differently than we do.

Incentive fees under our business management agreement with The RMR Group LLC, or RMR LLC, are payable after the end of each calendar year, are calculated based on common share total return, as defined, and are included in general and administrative expense in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. In calculating net income available for common shareholders in accordance with GAAP, we recognize estimated business management incentive fee expense, if any, in the first, second and third quarters. Although we recognize this expense, if any, in the first, second and third quarters for purposes of calculating net income available for common shareholders, we do not include such expense in the calculation of Normalized FFO available for common shareholders until the fourth quarter, when the amount of the business management incentive fee expense for the calendar year, if any, is determined.

We refer to the 70 consolidated properties (92 buildings) we owned on June 30, 2018 and which we have owned continuously since April 1, 2017 as comparable properties. We refer to the 35 consolidated properties (72 buildings) that we acquired during the period from April 1, 2017 to June 30, 2018 as the acquired properties. We refer to the four properties (four buildings) we sold during the period from April 1, 2017 to June 30, 2018 as the disposed properties.

Our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the three months ended June 30, 2018 include the operating results of 35 acquired properties (72 buildings) for the entire period, as we acquired those properties after April 1, 2017, exclude the operating results of two disposed properties (two buildings) for the entire period, as we sold those properties prior to the 2018 period, and include the operating results of two disposed properties (two buildings) for less than the entire period, as we sold those properties during the 2018 period. Our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the three months ended June 30, 2017 exclude the operating results of 35 acquired properties (72 buildings) for the entire period, as we acquired those properties after June 30, 2017 and include the operating results of four disposed properties (four buildings) for the entire period as we sold those properties after June 30, 2017.

References to changes in the income and expense categories below relate to the comparison of consolidated results for the three month period ended June 30, 2018, compared to the three month period ended June 30, 2017.

Rental income. The increase in rental income reflects an increase in rental income for comparable properties and the rental income from the acquired properties, partially offset by a decrease in rental income from the disposed properties. Rental income for comparable properties increased $1,660 primarily due to increases in rental rates and in occupied space at certain of our properties in the 2018 period. Rental income increased $39,163 as a result of the acquired properties. Rental income declined $2,625 as a result of the disposed properties. Rental income includes non-cash straight line rent adjustments totaling $2,744 in the 2018 period and $1,104 in the 2017 period, and amortization of acquired leases and assumed lease obligations totaling ($753) in the 2018 period and ($617) in the 2017 period.

Real estate taxes. The increase in real estate taxes reflects an increase in real estate taxes for comparable properties and the real estate taxes for the acquired properties, partially offset by a decrease in real estate taxes for the disposed properties. Real estate taxes for comparable properties increased $499 due primarily to the effect of higher real estate tax valuation assessments at certain of our properties in the 2018 period. Real estate taxes increased $4,301 as a result of the acquired properties. Real estate taxes declined $376 as a result of the disposed properties.

Utility expenses. The increase in utility expenses reflects an increase in utility expenses for the comparable properties and utility expenses for the acquired properties, partially offset by a decrease in utility expenses for the disposed properties. Utility expenses at comparable properties increased $65 primarily due to an increase in electricity usage and rates at certain of our buildings during the 2018 period. Utility expenses increased $1,899 as a result of the acquired properties. Utility expenses declined $118 as a result of the disposed properties.

Other operating expenses. Other operating expenses consist of salaries and benefit costs of property level personnel, repairs and maintenance expense, cleaning expense, other direct costs of operating our properties and property management fees. The increase in other operating expenses is a result of the other operating expenses for the acquired properties, partially offset by a decrease in other operating expenses for the comparable properties and a decrease in other operating expenses for the disposed properties. Other operating expenses at comparable properties declined $593 primarily as a result of lower repairs and maintenance costs during the 2018 period. Other operating expenses increased $7,566 as a result of the acquired properties. Other operating expenses declined $561 as a result of the disposed properties.

Depreciation and amortization. The increase in depreciation and amortization reflects the effect of the acquired properties and of improvements made to certain of our comparable properties, partially offset by the effect of certain assets becoming fully depreciated and property dispositions. Depreciation and amortization increased $22,921 as a result of the acquired properties. Depreciation and amortization at comparable properties increased $229 due primarily to depreciation and amortization of improvements made to certain of our properties after April 1, 2017, partially offset by certain leasing related assets becoming fully depreciated after April 1, 2017. Depreciation and amortization declined $1,142 as a result of the disposed properties.

Table of Contents

Loss on impairment of real estate. We recorded a $322 adjustment to increase the carrying value of one property (one building) we removed from held for sale status in the 2018 period to its estimated fair value partially offset by a $6 adjustment to reduce the carrying value of one property (one building) to its estimated fair value less costs to sell.

General and administrative. General and administrative expenses consist of fees pursuant to our business management agreement, equity compensation expense, legal and accounting fees, Trustees’ fees and expenses, securities listing and transfer agency fees and other costs relating to our status as a publicly traded company. The decrease in general and administrative expenses is primarily a result of the reversal of $2,150 of previously accrued business management incentive fees in the 2018 period, partially offset by an increase in business management fees as a result of our acquisition activity.

Dividend income. Dividend income consists of dividends received from our investment in The RMR Group Inc., or RMR Inc.

Unrealized gain on equity securities. Unrealized gain on equity securities represents the unrealized gain to adjust our investment in RMR Inc. to its fair value in accordance with a change in GAAP effective January 1, 2018. For further information, see Notes 2 and 8 to the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part 1, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Interest income. The increase in interest income is primarily the result of higher cash balances and higher interest rates in the 2018 period compared to the 2017 period.

Interest expense. The increase in interest expense reflects higher average outstanding debt balances and higher weighted average interest rates on borrowings during the 2018 period compared to the 2017 period.

Net gain on issuance of shares by SIR. Gain on issuance of shares by SIR is a result of the issuance of common shares by SIR at prices which were in the aggregate above the then per share carrying value of our SIR common shares.

Income tax expense. The increase in income tax expense reflects higher operating income in certain jurisdictions in the 2018 period that is subject to state income taxes.

Equity in net earnings of investees. Equity in net earnings of investees represents our proportionate share of earnings from our investments in SIR, Affiliates Insurance Company, or AIC, and two unconsolidated joint ventures.

Loss from discontinued operations. Loss from discontinued operations reflects operating results for one property (one building) included in discontinued operations during the 2017 period. We sold this property in August 2017.

Gain on sale of real estate. We recorded a $17,329 gain on sale of real estate resulting from the sale of one property (one building) during the 2018 period.

Preferred units of limited partnership distributions. Preferred units of limited partnership distributions represent distributions to the holders of the Preferred Units. The Preferred Units were redeemed by one of our subsidiaries in May 2018.

Net income and net income available for common shareholders. Our net income, net income available for common shareholders and net income available for common shareholders per basic and diluted common share increased in the 2018 period compared to the 2017 period primarily as a result of the changes noted above. The percentage increase in net income available for common shareholders per common share (basic and diluted) is lower primarily as a result of the higher number of weighted average common shares outstanding as result of our issuance of common shares in an underwritten public offering in July 2017.

(1)	Comparable properties consist of 69 consolidated properties (91 buildings) we owned on June 30, 2018 and which we owned continuously since January 1, 2017.


(2)	Acquired properties consist of 36 consolidated properties (73 buildings) we acquired since January 1, 2017. We acquired 35 of these properties (72 buildings) in connection with the FPO Transaction in October 2017 and acquired one property (one building) in a separate transaction in January 2017.


(3)	Disposed properties consist of one consolidated property (one building) which we sold in October 2017 and three consolidated properties (three buildings) which we sold during the six months ended June 30, 2018 and excludes one property (one building) classified as discontinued operations which we sold in August 2017.

We refer to the 69 consolidated properties (91 buildings) we owned on June 30, 2018 and which we have owned continuously since January 1, 2017 as comparable properties. We refer to the 36 consolidated properties (73 buildings) that we acquired during the period from January 1, 2017 to June 30, 2018 as the acquired properties. We refer to the four properties (four buildings) we sold during the period from January 1, 2017 to June 30, 2018 as the disposed properties.

Our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the six months ended June 30, 2018 include the operating results of the acquired properties for the entire period, as we acquired those properties in 2017, exclude the operating results of one disposed property (one building) for the entire period, as we sold that property in 2017, and include the operating results of three disposed properties (three buildings) for less than the entire period, as we sold those properties during the 2018 period. Our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the six months ended June 30, 2017 exclude the operating results of 35 acquired properties (72 buildings) for the entire period, as we acquired those properties after June 30, 2017, include the operating results of one property (one building) for less than the entire period, as we acquired that property during the 2017 period and include the operating results of the disposed properties for the entire period as we sold those properties after June 30, 2017.

References to changes in the income and expense categories below relate to the comparison of consolidated results for the six months ended June 30, 2018, compared to the six month period ended June 30, 2017.

Rental income. The increase in rental income reflects an increase in rental income for comparable properties and the rental income from the acquired properties, partially offset by a decrease in rental income from the disposed properties. Rental income for comparable properties increased $3,050 primarily due to increases in rental rates and in occupied space at certain of our properties in the 2018 period. Rental income increased $77,261 as a result of the acquired properties. Rental income declined $2,692 as a result of the disposed properties. Rental income includes non-cash straight line rent adjustments totaling $5,835 in the 2018 period and $2,404 in the 2017 period, and amortization of acquired leases and assumed lease obligations totaling ($1,588) in the 2018 period and ($1,244) in the 2017 period.

Real estate taxes. The increase in real estate taxes reflects an increase in real estate taxes for the comparable properties and real estate taxes for the acquired properties, partially offset by a decrease in real estate taxes for the disposed properties. Real estate taxes for comparable properties increased $1,051 due primarily to the effect of higher real estate tax valuation

Table of Contents

assessments at certain of our properties in the 2018 period. Real estate taxes increased $8,534 as a result of the acquired properties. Real estate taxes declined $373 as a result of the disposed properties.

Utility expenses. The increase in utility expenses reflects an increase in utility expenses for the comparable properties and utility expenses for the acquired properties, partially offset by a decrease in utility expenses for the disposed properties. Utility expenses at comparable properties increased $272 primarily due to an increase in electricity usage and rates at certain of our buildings during the 2018 period. Utility expenses increased $3,761 as a result of the acquired properties. Utility expenses declined $104 as a result of the disposed properties.

Other operating expenses. The increase in other operating expenses reflects an increase in other operating expenses for the comparable properties and the other operating expenses for the acquired properties, partially offset by a decrease in other operating expenses for the disposed properties. Other operating expenses at comparable properties increased $468 primarily as a result of higher snow removal costs during the 2018 period. Other operating expenses increased $15,356 as a result of the acquired properties. Other operating expenses declined $567 as a result of the disposed properties.

Depreciation and amortization. The increase in depreciation and amortization reflects the effect of the acquired properties and of improvements made to certain of our comparable properties, partially offset by the effect of certain assets becoming fully depreciated and property dispositions. Depreciation and amortization increased $46,367 as a result of the acquired properties. Depreciation and amortization at comparable properties increased $839 due primarily to depreciation and amortization of improvements made to certain of our properties after January 1, 2017, partially offset by certain leasing related assets becoming fully depreciated after January 1, 2017. Depreciation and amortization declined $1,499 as a result of the disposed properties.

Loss on impairment of real estate. We recorded a $5,800 loss on impairment of real estate in the 2018 period to reduce the carrying value of three properties (three buildings) to their estimated fair value less costs to sell.

General and administrative. The increase in general and administrative expenses is primarily as a result of an increase in business management fees as a result of our acquisition activity.

Dividend income. Dividend income consists of dividends received from our investment in RMR Inc.

Interest income. The increase in interest income is primarily the result of higher cash balances and higher interest rates in the 2018 period compared to the 2017 period.

Income tax expense. The increase in income tax expense reflects higher operating income in certain jurisdictions in the 2018 period that is subject to state income taxes.

Equity in net earnings of investees. Equity in net earnings of investees represents our proportionate share of earnings from our investments in SIR, AIC and two unconsolidated joint ventures.

Gain on sale of real estate. We recorded a $17,329 gain on sale of real estate resulting from the sale of one property (one building) during the 2018 period.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our Operating Liquidity and Resources (dollar amounts in thousands)

Our principal sources of funds to meet operating and capital expenses, pay debt service obligations and make distributions to our shareholders are the operating cash flows we generate as rental income from our properties, the distributions we receive from our investments in SIR and RMR Inc. and borrowings under our revolving credit facility. We believe that these sources of funds will be sufficient to meet our operating and capital expenses, pay debt service obligations and make distributions to our shareholders for the next 12 months and for the foreseeable future thereafter. Our future cash flows from operating activities will depend primarily upon:


•	our ability to maintain or increase the occupancy of, and the rental rates at, our properties;


•	our ability to control operating expenses and capital expenses at our properties;


•	our ability to purchase additional properties which produce cash flows from operations in excess of our cost of acquisition capital and property operating expenses and capital expenses; and


•	our receipt of distributions from our investments in SIR and RMR Inc.

Our future purchases of properties cannot be accurately projected because such purchases depend upon purchase opportunities which come to our attention and our ability to successfully complete the acquisitions. We generally do not intend to purchase “turn around” properties, or properties which do not generate positive cash flows.

Our changes in cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to the same period in 2017 were as follows: (i) cash provided by operating activities increased from $69,802 in 2017 period to $93,497 in the 2018 period; (ii) cash flows from investing activities changed from $20,044 of cash used in investing activities in the 2017 period to $133,925 of cash provided by investing activities in the 2018 period; and (iii) cash used in financing activities increased from $66,978 in the 2017 period to $225,959 in the 2018 period.

The increase in cash provided by operating activities for the six month period ended June 30, 2018 as compared to the corresponding prior year period was due primarily to an increase in Consolidated Property NOI from our acquisition activities and an increase in distributions we received from our investment in SIR classified as an operating activity in our condensed consolidated statement of cash flows as a result of an increase in the equity in earnings of SIR we recognized in the 2018 period, partially offset by an increase in interest paid due to higher average outstanding debt balances and higher weighed average interest rates on borrowings in the 2018 period and unfavorable changes in working capital. The change from cash used in investing activities in the 2017 period to cash provided by investing activities in the 2018 period is primarily due to our receipt of cash proceeds from the sale of four of our properties (four buildings) in the 2018 period, compared to our use of cash to acquire one of our properties (one building) in the 2017 period. The increase in cash used in financing activities for the six month period ended June 30, 2018 as compared to the corresponding prior year period was due primarily to an increase in net debt repayments, the redemption of the Preferred Units in the 2018 period and an increase in our distributions to common shareholders in the 2018 period as a result of our issuance of common shares in July 2017.

Our Investment and Financing Liquidity and Resources (dollar amounts in thousands, except per share and per square foot amounts)

In order to fund acquisitions and to meet cash needs that may result from our desire or need to make distributions or pay operating or capital expenses, we maintain a $750,000 unsecured revolving credit facility. The maturity date of our revolving credit facility is January 31, 2019 and, subject to our payment of an extension fee and meeting other conditions, we have an option to extend the stated maturity date of our revolving credit facility by one year to January 31, 2020. We are required to pay interest at a rate of LIBOR plus a premium, which was 125 basis points per annum at June 30, 2018, on the amount outstanding under our revolving credit facility. We also pay a facility fee on the total amount of lending commitments under our revolving

Table of Contents

credit facility, which was 25 basis points per annum at June 30, 2018. Both the interest rate premium and the facility fee are subject to adjustment based upon changes to our credit ratings. We can borrow, repay and reborrow funds available under our revolving credit facility until maturity, and no principal repayment is due until maturity. As of June 30, 2018, the annual interest rate payable on borrowings under our revolving credit facility was 3.2%. As of both June 30, 2018 and July 31, 2018, we had $452,000 outstanding under our revolving credit facility.

Our revolving credit facility is governed by a credit agreement, or our credit agreement, with a syndicate of institutional lenders, which also governs our two unsecured term loans:

•

Our credit agreement also includes a feature under which the maximum borrowing availability may be increased to up to $2,500,000 on a combined basis in certain circumstances.

Our credit agreement provides that, with certain exceptions, a subsidiary of ours is required to guaranty our obligations under the revolving credit facility and term loans only if that subsidiary has separately incurred debt (other than nonrecourse debt), within the meaning specified in our credit agreement, or provided a guarantee of debt incurred by us or any of our other subsidiaries.

Our $350,000 of 3.75% senior unsecured notes due 2019 are governed by an indenture and a supplement to that indenture and require semi-annual payments of interest only through maturity in August 2019 and may be repaid at par (plus accrued and unpaid interest) on or after July 15, 2019 or before that date together with a make whole premium.

Our $300,000 of 4.000% senior unsecured notes due 2022 are governed by an indenture and a supplement to that indenture and require semi-annual payments of interest only through maturity in July 2022 and may be repaid at par (plus accrued and unpaid interest) on or after June 15, 2022 or before that date together with a make whole premium.

Our $310,000 of 5.875% senior unsecured notes due 2046 are governed by an indenture and a supplement to that indenture and require quarterly payments of interest only through maturity in May 2046 and may be repaid at par (plus accrued and unpaid interest) on or after May 26, 2021.

As of June 30, 2018, our debt maturities (other than our revolving credit facility) are as follows: $1,863 in 2018, $361,541 in 2019, $338,433 in 2020, $14,420 in 2021, $575,518 in 2022 and $399,564 thereafter.

None of our unsecured debt obligations require sinking fund payments prior to their maturity dates. Our $181,339 in mortgage debts generally require monthly payments of principal and interest through maturity.

In addition to our debt obligations, as of June 30, 2018, we have estimated unspent leasing related obligations of $32,609.

On May 1, 2018, one of our subsidiaries redeemed all of the outstanding Preferred Units for $11.15 per unit plus accrued and unpaid distributions (an aggregate of $20,310) using cash on hand and borrowings under our revolving credit facility.

We currently expect to use cash balances, borrowings under our revolving credit facility, net proceeds from property sales, distributions from our investments in SIR and RMR Inc., assumptions of mortgage debt and net proceeds from offerings of equity or debt securities to fund our future operations, capital expenditures, distributions to our shareholders and property acquisitions. When significant amounts are outstanding under our revolving credit facility or the maturities of our indebtedness approach, we expect to explore refinancing alternatives. Such alternatives may include incurring additional term debt, issuing equity or debt securities, extending the maturity date of our revolving credit facility and entering into a new revolving credit facility. We may assume additional mortgage debt in connection with our acquisitions or elect to place new mortgages on

Table of Contents

properties we own as a source of financing. We may also seek to participate in additional joint venture or other arrangements that may provide us with additional sources of financing. Although we cannot be sure that we will be successful in consummating any particular type of financing, we believe that we will have access to financing, such as debt and equity offerings, to fund future acquisitions and capital expenditures and to pay our obligations. We currently have an effective shelf registration statement that allows us to issue public securities on an expedited basis, but it does not assure that there will be buyers for such securities.

Our ability to obtain, and the costs of, our future debt financings will depend primarily on credit market conditions and our creditworthiness. We have no control over market conditions. Potential investors and lenders likely will evaluate our ability to pay distributions to shareholders, fund required debt service and repay debts when they become due by reviewing our business practices and plans to balance our use of debt and equity capital so that our financial profile and leverage ratios afford us flexibility to withstand any reasonably anticipated adverse changes. Similarly, our ability to raise equity capital in the future will depend primarily upon equity capital market conditions and our ability to conduct our business to maintain and grow our operating cash flows. We intend to conduct our business in a manner that will afford us reasonable access to capital for investment and financing activities, but we cannot be sure that we will be able to successfully carry out this intention.

In 2017, both Moody's Investors Service, or Moody's, and Standard & Poor's Ratings Services, or S&P, updated our debt ratings outlook to negative during 2017 as a result of uncertainties related to the FPO Transaction. Negative debt ratings outlooks may imply that our debt ratings may be downgraded unless we are successful in reorganizing our financial profile.

On February 26, 2018 and May 21, 2018, we paid a regular quarterly distribution to common shareholders of record on January 29, 2018 and April 30, 2018 of $0.43 per share, or $42,632 and $42,634, respectively. We funded these distributions using cash on hand and borrowings under our revolving credit facility. On July 19, 2018, we declared a regular quarterly distribution payable to common shareholders of record on July 30, 2018 of $0.43 per share, or $42,641. We expect to pay this distribution on or about August 20, 2018 using cash on hand and borrowings under our revolving credit facility.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

We own 50% and 51% interests in two unconsolidated joint ventures which own two properties (three buildings). The properties owned by these joint ventures are encumbered by an aggregate $82,000 principal amount of mortgage indebtedness. We do not control the activities that are most significant to these joint ventures and, as a result, we account for our investment in these joint ventures under the equity method of accounting. See Note 4 to the Notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information on the financial condition and results of operations of these joint ventures. Other than these joint ventures, as of June 30, 2018, we had no off balance sheet arrangements that have had or that we expect would be reasonably likely to have a material effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Debt Covenants (dollars in thousands)

Our principal debt obligations at June 30, 2018 consisted of borrowings under our $750,000 revolving credit facility, our $300,000 term loan, our $250,000 term loan, an aggregate outstanding principal amount of $960,000 of public issuances of senior unsecured notes and eight secured mortgage notes with an aggregate outstanding principal balance of $181,339 that were assumed in connection with certain of our acquisitions. Also, two properties (three buildings) which are owned by joint ventures secure two additional mortgage notes. Our publicly issued senior unsecured notes are governed by indentures and their supplements. Our senior unsecured notes indentures and their supplements and our credit agreement provide for acceleration of payment of all amounts outstanding upon the occurrence and continuation of certain events of default, such as, in the case of our credit agreement, a change of control of us, which includes RMR LLC ceasing to act as our business and property manager. Our senior unsecured notes indentures and their supplements and our credit agreement also contain a number of covenants which generally restrict our ability to incur debts, including debts secured by mortgages on our properties, in excess of calculated amounts, require us to maintain various financial ratios, and, in the case of our credit agreement, restrict our ability to make distributions to our shareholders in certain circumstances. Our mortgage notes are non-recourse, subject to certain limited exceptions, and do not contain any material financial covenants. As of June 30, 2018, we believe we were in compliance with the terms and conditions of our respective covenants under our credit agreement and senior unsecured notes indentures and their supplements.

Neither our credit agreement nor our senior unsecured notes indentures and their supplements contain provisions for acceleration which could be triggered by our debt ratings. However, under our credit agreement our highest senior debt rating is used to determine the fees and interest rates we pay. Accordingly, if that debt rating is downgraded, our interest expense and related costs under our credit agreement would increase. As noted above, both Moody's and S&P updated our rating outlook to

negative during 2017, which may imply that our debt ratings may be downgraded unless we are successful in reorganizing our financial profile.

Our credit agreement has cross default provisions to other indebtedness that is recourse of $25,000 or more and indebtedness that is non-recourse of $50,000 or more. Similarly, our senior unsecured notes indentures and their supplements contain cross default provisions to any other debts of more than $25,000 (or up to $50,000 in certain circumstances).

Related Person Transactions

We have relationships and historical and continuing transactions with RMR LLC, RMR Inc. and others related to them. For example: we have no employees and the personnel and various services we require to operate our business are provided to us by RMR LLC pursuant to our business and property management agreements with RMR LLC; RMR Inc. is the managing member of RMR LLC; Adam D. Portnoy, one of our Managing Trustees, is the sole trustee, an officer and controlling shareholder of ABP Trust, which is the controlling shareholder of RMR Inc.; and we own shares of class A common stock of RMR Inc. We also have relationships and historical and continuing transactions with other companies to which RMR LLC or its subsidiaries provide management services and which may have trustees, directors and officers who are also trustees, directors or officers of us, RMR LLC or RMR Inc., including: SIR, of which we are the largest shareholder and at June 30, 2018, of which we owned approximately 27.8% of its outstanding common shares; and AIC, of which we, ABP Trust, SIR and four other companies to which RMR LLC provides management services each own 14.3% and which arranges and reinsures in part a combined property insurance program for us and its six other shareholders. For further information about these and other such relationships and related person transactions, see Notes 10, 11 and 12 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our Annual Report, our definitive Proxy Statement for our 2018 Annual Meeting of Shareholders and our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC. In addition, see the section captioned “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report for a description of risks that may arise as a result of these and other related person transactions and relationships. Our filings with the SEC and copies of certain of our agreements with these related persons, including our business and property management agreements with RMR LLC and our shareholders agreement with AIC and its six other shareholders, are available as exhibits to our filings with the SEC and accessible at the SEC’s website, www.sec.gov. We may engage in additional transactions with related persons, including businesses to which RMR LLC or its subsidiaries provide management services.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk (dollar amounts in thousands, except per share data)

We are exposed to risks associated with market changes in interest rates. We manage our exposure to this market risk by monitoring available financing alternatives. Our strategy to manage exposure to changes in interest rates has not materially changed since December 31, 2017. Other than as described below, we do not currently foresee any significant changes in our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates or in how we manage this exposure in the near future.

Fixed Rate Debt

At June 30, 2018, our outstanding fixed rate debt consisted of the following:



			Annual		Annual			Interest
	Principal		Interest		Interest			Payments
Debt	Balance ⁽¹⁾		Rate ⁽¹⁾		Expense ⁽¹⁾		Maturity	Due
Senior unsecured notes	$	350,000	3.750	%	$	13,125	2019	Semi-annually
Senior unsecured notes	310,000		5.875	%	18,213		2046	Quarterly
Senior unsecured notes	300,000		4.000	%	12,000		2022	Semi-annually
Mortgage note (one property (one building) in Tampa, FL)	8,082		7.000	%	574		2019	Monthly
Mortgage note (one property (one building) in Washington, DC)	34,094		5.720	%	1,977		2020	Monthly
Mortgage note (one property (one building) in Chesapeake, VA)	3,080		4.260	%	133		2020	Monthly
Mortgage note (one property (one building) in Lakewood, CO)	3,490		8.150	%	288		2021	Monthly
Mortgage note (one property (one building) in Fairfax, VA)	13,566		5.877	%	808		2021	Monthly
Mortgage note (one property (one building) in Washington, DC)	27,544		4.220	%	1,179		2022	Monthly
Mortgage note (one property (one building) in Washington, DC)	24,703		4.800	%	1,202		2023	Monthly
Mortgage note (one property (one building) in Washington, DC)	66,780		4.050	%	2,742		2030	Monthly
	$	1,141,339			$	52,241

The principal balances and interest rates are the amounts stated in the contracts. In accordance with GAAP, our carrying values and recorded interest expense may differ from these amounts because of market conditions at the time we issued or assumed these debts. For more information, see Notes 7 and 8 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Our $350,000 and $300,000 senior unsecured notes require semi-annual interest payments through maturity and our $310,000 senior unsecured notes require quarterly interest payments through maturity. Our mortgages generally require principal and interest payments through maturity pursuant to amortization schedules. Because these debts require interest to be paid at a fixed rate, changes in market interest rates during the term of these debts will not affect our interest obligations. If these debts were refinanced at interest rates which are one percentage point higher or lower than shown above, our annual interest cost would increase or decrease by approximately $11,439.

Changes in market interest rates also would affect the fair value of our fixed rate debt obligations; increases in market interest rates decrease the fair value of our fixed rate debt, while decreases in market interest rates increase the fair value of our fixed rate debt. Based on the balances outstanding at June 30, 2018, and discounted cash flow analyses through the respective maturity dates, and assuming no other changes in factors that may affect the fair value of our fixed rate debt obligations, a hypothetical immediate one percentage point increase in interest rates would change the fair value of those obligations by approximately $52,418.

Some of our fixed rate secured debt arrangements allow us to make repayments earlier than the stated maturity date. In some cases, we are not allowed to make early repayment prior to a cutoff date and we are generally allowed to make prepayments only at a premium equal to a make whole amount, as defined, which is generally designed to preserve a stated yield to the note holder. These prepayment rights may afford us opportunities to mitigate the risk of refinancing our debts at maturity at higher rates by refinancing prior to maturity.

Table of Contents

At June 30, 2018, we owned 50% and 51% interests in two joint venture arrangements which owned two properties (three buildings) that are secured by fixed rate debt consisting of the following mortgage notes:



	Our JV			Annual		Annual			Interest
	Ownership	Principal		Interest		Interest			Payments
Debt	Interest	Balance⁽¹⁾⁽²⁾		Rate⁽¹⁾		Expense⁽¹⁾		Maturity	Due
Mortgage note one property (one building) in Washington, DC	50%	$	32,000	3.920	%	$	1,254	2024	Monthly
Mortgage note one property (two buildings) in Fairfax, VA	51%	50,000		3.910	%	1,955		2029	Monthly
		$	82,000			$	3,209


(1)	The principal balance, annual interest rate and annual interest expense are the amounts stated in the applicable contract. In accordance with GAAP, the joint ventures' recorded interest expense may differ from these amounts because of market conditions at the time they incurred the debt.


(2)	Reflects the entire balance of the debt secured by the properties and is not adjusted to reflect the part of the joint venture arrangement interests we do not own.

Floating Rate Debt

At June 30, 2018, our floating rate debt consisted of $452,000 of borrowings under our $750,000 revolving credit facility, our $300,000 term loan and our $250,000 term loan. Our revolving credit facility matures in January 2019 and, subject to our meeting certain conditions, including our payment of an extension fee, we have the option to extend the stated maturity by one year to January 2020. No principal repayments are required under our revolving credit facility or our term loans prior to maturity, and we can borrow, repay and reborrow funds available under our revolving credit facility, subject to conditions, at any time without penalty. Our $300,000 term loan matures on March 31, 2020. Our $250,000 term loan matures on March 31, 2022. Amounts outstanding under our term loans may be repaid without penalty at any time, but after they are repaid amounts may not be redrawn.

Borrowings under our $750,000 revolving credit facility and term loans are in U.S. dollars and require interest to be paid at a rate of LIBOR plus premiums that are subject to adjustment based upon changes to our credit ratings. Accordingly, we are vulnerable to changes in U.S. dollar based short term rates, specifically LIBOR. In addition, upon renewal or refinancing of our revolving credit facility or term loans, we are vulnerable to increases in interest rate premiums due to market conditions or our perceived credit characteristics. Generally, a change in interest rates would not affect the value of our floating rate debt but would affect our operating results.

The following table presents the impact a one percentage point increase in interest rates would have on our annual floating rate interest expense as of June 30, 2018:



	Impact of Changes in Interest Rates
	Annual		Outstanding		Total Interest		Annual Earnings
	Interest Rate ⁽¹⁾		Debt		Expense Per Year		Per Share Impact ⁽²⁾
At June 30, 2018	3.5	%	$	1,002,000	$	35,557	$	0.36
One percentage point	4.5	%	$	1,002,000	$	45,716	$	0.46


(1)	Weighted based on the respective interest rates and outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility and our term loans as of June 30, 2018.


(2)	Based on the weighted average shares outstanding (diluted) for the six months ended June 30, 2018.

Table of Contents

The following table presents the impact a one percentage point increase in interest rates would have on our annual floating rate interest expense as of June 30, 2018 if we were fully drawn on our revolving credit facility and our term loans remained outstanding:



	Impact of an Increase in Interest Rates
	Annual		Outstanding		Total Interest		Annual Earnings
	Interest Rate ⁽¹⁾		Debt		Expense Per Year		Per Share Impact ⁽²⁾
At June 30, 2018	3.4	%	$	1,300,000	$	44,814	$	0.45
One percentage point	4.4	%	$	1,300,000	$	57,994	$	0.59


(1)	Weighted based on the respective interest rates and outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility (assuming fully drawn) and our term loans as of June 30, 2018.


(2)	Based on the weighted average shares outstanding (diluted) for the six months ended June 30, 2018.

The foregoing tables show the impact of an immediate increase in floating interest rates as of June 30, 2018. If interest rates were to increase gradually over time, the impact would be spread over time. Our exposure to fluctuations in floating interest rates will increase or decrease in the future with increases or decreases in the outstanding amount under our revolving credit facility, our term loans or our other floating rate debt, if any. Although we have no present plans to do so, we may in the future enter into hedge arrangements from time to time to mitigate our exposure to changes in interest rates.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our management carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Based upon that evaluation, our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2018 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

FOR EXAMPLE:

•

OUR ABILITY TO MAKE FUTURE DISTRIBUTIONS TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS AND TO MAKE PAYMENTS OF PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST ON OUR INDEBTEDNESS DEPENDS UPON A NUMBER OF FACTORS, INCLUDING OUR FUTURE EARNINGS, THE CAPITAL COSTS WE INCUR TO LEASE OUR PROPERTIES, OUR WORKING CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS AND OUR RECEIPT OF DISTRIBUTIONS FROM SIR.

•	OUR ABILITY TO GROW OUR BUSINESS AND INCREASE OUR DISTRIBUTIONS DEPENDS IN LARGE PART UPON OUR ABILITY TO BUY PROPERTIES AND LEASE THEM FOR RENTS, LESS THEIR PROPERTY OPERATING COSTS, THAT EXCEED OUR CAPITAL COSTS. WE MAY BE UNABLE TO IDENTIFY PROPERTIES THAT WE WANT TO ACQUIRE OR TO NEGOTIATE ACCEPTABLE PURCHASE PRICES, ACQUISITION FINANCING OR LEASE TERMS FOR NEW PROPERTIES,

•

AS PART OF OUR LONG TERM FINANCING PLANS TO REDUCE OUR LEVERAGE, WE EXPECT TO DISPOSE OF CERTAIN OF OUR PROPERTIES. CURRENTLY, WE ARE MARKETING OR PLAN TO MARKET FOR SALE 24 PROPERTIES.

•	CONTINGENCIES IN OUR ACQUISITION AND SALE AGREEMENTS MAY NOT BE SATISFIED AND OUR PENDING ACQUISITIONS AND SALES MAY NOT OCCUR, MAY BE DELAYED OR THE TERMS OF SUCH TRANSACTIONS MAY CHANGE,


•	WE INTEND TO CONDUCT OUR BUSINESS ACTIVITIES IN A MANNER THAT WILL AFFORD US REASONABLE ACCESS TO CAPITAL FOR INVESTMENT AND FINANCING ACTIVITIES. HOWEVER, WE MAY NOT SUCCEED IN THIS REGARD AND WE MAY NOT HAVE REASONABLE ACCESS TO CAPITAL,


•	CONTINUED AVAILABILITY OF BORROWINGS UNDER OUR REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY IS SUBJECT TO OUR SATISFYING CERTAIN FINANCIAL COVENANTS AND OTHER CREDIT FACILITY CONDITIONS THAT WE MAY BE UNABLE TO SATISFY,


•	ACTUAL COSTS UNDER OUR REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY OR OTHER FLOATING RATE DEBT WILL BE HIGHER THAN LIBOR PLUS A PREMIUM BECAUSE OF FEES AND EXPENSES ASSOCIATED WITH SUCH DEBT,


•	THE INTEREST RATES PAYABLE UNDER OUR FLOATING RATE DEBT OBLIGATIONS DEPEND UPON OUR CREDIT RATINGS. WE CURRENTLY HAVE A NEGATIVE DEBT RATINGS OUTLOOK BY BOTH MOODY'S AND S&P WHICH MAY IMPLY THAT OUR CREDIT RATINGS MAY BE DOWNGRADED.
