1.	Organization and Business

As used in these consolidated financial statements, unless otherwise indicated, all references to “we,” “us,” “our,” the “Company,” and “Paramount” refer to Paramount Group, Inc., a Maryland corporation, and its consolidated subsidiaries, including Paramount Group Operating Partnership LP (the “Operating Partnership”), a Delaware limited partnership. We are a fully-integrated real estate investment trust (“REIT”) focused on owning, operating, managing, acquiring and redeveloping high-quality, Class A office properties in select central business district submarkets of New York City and San Francisco. As of September 30, 2021, our portfolio consisted of 13 Class A properties aggregating 12.9 million square feet. We conduct our business through, and substantially all of our interests in properties and investments are held by, the Operating Partnership. We are the sole general partner of, and owned approximately 90.9% of, the Operating Partnership as of September 30, 2021.

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared coronavirus 2019 (“COVID-19”) a global pandemic. The outbreak of COVID-19 caused severe disruptions in the global economy. These disruptions have adversely impacted businesses and financial markets, including that of New York and San Francisco, the markets in which we operate and where all of our assets are located. As a result, several of our tenants sought deferrals and/or short-term relief of their rental obligations and we provided relief to select tenants.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved the use of one COVID-19 vaccine and has issued emergency use authorizations of two additional vaccines for the prevention of COVID-19. The availability of these vaccines has resulted in a significant portion of the population in New York and San Francisco being vaccinated and enabled New York and San Francisco to lift most COVID-19 restrictions. Notwithstanding the vaccination success, multiple variants of the virus that cause COVID-19 continue to persist globally and in the United States. While we continue to navigate the crisis and monitor the impact of the pandemic on our business, the fluidity of the situation precludes us at this time from making any predictions as to the ultimate impact COVID-19 may have on our future financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

2.	Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in conjunction with the instructions to Form 10-Q of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements have been condensed or omitted. These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Paramount and its consolidated subsidiaries, including the Operating Partnership. In the opinion of management, all significant adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) and eliminations (which include intercompany balances and transactions) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and changes in cash flows have been made. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 was derived from audited financial statements as of that date but does not include all information and disclosures required by GAAP. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, as filed with the SEC.

Significant Accounting Policies

There are no material changes to our significant accounting policies as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Use of Estimates

We have made estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2019-12, an update to ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes. ASU 2019-12 simplifies the accounting for income taxes by (i) eliminating certain exceptions within ASC Topic 740 and (ii) clarifying and amending the existing guidance to enable consistent application of ASC Topic 740. ASU 2019-12 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years that begin after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. We adopted the provisions of ASU 2019-12 on January 1, 2021. This adoption did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, which adds ASC Topic 848, Reference Rate Reform: Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. ASU 2020-04 provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions to ease financial reporting burdens related to applying current GAAP to modifications of contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions in connection with the transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01 to clarify that certain optional expedients and exceptions apply to modifications of derivative contracts and certain hedging relationships affected by changes in the interest rates used for discounting cash flows, computing variation margin settlements, and for calculating price alignment interest. ASU 2020-04 is effective beginning on March 12, 2020 and may be applied prospectively to such transactions through December 31, 2022 and ASU 2021-01 is effective beginning on January 7, 2021 and may be applied retrospectively or prospectively to such transactions through December 31, 2022. We will apply ASU 2020-04 and ASU 2021-01 prospectively as and when we enter into transactions to which these updates apply.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, an update to ASC Topic 470, Subtopic - 20, Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options, and ASC Topic 815, Subtopic - 4, Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity's Own Equity. ASU 2020-06 simplifies the guidance for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liability and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity by reducing the number of accounting models for convertible instruments and amends guidance in ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share, relating to the computation of earnings per share for convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity. ASU 2020-06 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years that begin after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted for fiscal years that begin after December 15, 2020. We are evaluating the impact of ASU 2020-06 on our consolidated financial statements.

In October 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-10, Codification Improvements. ASU 2020-10 codifies the disclosure guidance of all codifications which provide entities with an option to either present information on the face or disclose it in the notes to the financial statements. ASU 2020-10 also clarifies application of various provisions in the codifications where the guidance may have been unclear. ASU 2020-10 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years that begin after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. We adopted the provisions of ASU 2020-10 on January 1, 2021. This adoption did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.

3.	Discontinued Operations

Over the past three years, we sold the remaining assets in our Washington, D.C. portfolio, thereby exiting the Washington, D.C. office market. These dispositions represented a strategic shift in our operations and met the criteria for classifying our Washington, D.C. segment as “discontinued operations,” in accordance with ASC Topic 205, Presentation of Financial Statements. Accordingly, effective March 31, 2020, we reclassified the results of operations of our Washington, D.C. segment as discontinued operations.

⁽¹⁾

At December 31, 2020, our basis in the joint venture that owns 712 Fifth Avenue was negative $22,345. Since we have no further obligation to fund additional capital to the joint venture, we no longer recognize our proportionate share of earnings from the joint venture. Instead, we recognize income only to the extent we receive cash distributions from the joint venture and recognize losses to the extent we make cash contributions to the joint venture. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we received $1,053 in distributions from the joint venture and made an $11,750 contribution to the joint venture. Accordingly, we recognized a loss of $10,697, which is included in “loss from unconsolidated joint ventures” on our consolidated statements of income for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Additionally, the joint venture had net losses of $3,439 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, of which our 50.0% share was $1,720. Accordingly, our basis in the joint venture, taking into account distributions received, contributions made and our share of losses, was negative $13,368 as of September 30, 2021.

⁽²⁾

As of September 30, 2021, the carrying amount of our investments in 55 Second Street, 60 Wall Street, One Steuart Lane and Oder-Center is greater than our share of equity in these investments by $480, $2,628, $970 and $4,797, respectively, and primarily represents the unamortized portion of our capitalized acquisition costs. Basis differences allocated to depreciable assets are being amortized into income or loss from the unconsolidated joint ventures to which they relate, over the estimated useful life of the related assets.

Debt

On July 29, 2021, we completed an $860,000,000 refinancing of 1301 Avenue of the Americas, a 1.7 million square foot trophy office building, located in New York, New York. The new five-year interest-only loan has a weighted average interest rate of 2.95% and is comprised of a $500,000,000 fixed rate tranche and a $360,000,000 variable rate tranche. The proceeds from the refinancing were used to repay the existing $850,000,000 loan that was scheduled to mature in November 2021.

8.	Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

We record all derivatives on our consolidated balance sheets at fair value in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging. The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative and whether we have designated a derivative as a hedge and whether the hedging relationship has satisfied the criteria necessary to apply hedge accounting. We use derivative financial instruments in the normal course of business to selectively manage or hedge a portion of the risk associated with our indebtedness and interest payments. Our objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage our exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish these objectives, we primarily use interest rate swaps and interest rate caps. Interest rate swaps and interest rate caps that are designated as hedges are so designated at the inception of the contract. We require that hedging derivative instruments be highly effective in reducing the risk exposure that they are designated to hedge. The changes in the fair value of interest rate swaps and interest rate caps that are designated as hedges are recognized in “other comprehensive loss” (outside of earnings) and subsequently reclassified to earnings over the term that the hedged transaction affects earnings.

On July 29, 2021, we completed an $860,000,000 refinancing of 1301 Avenue of the Americas. In connection with the refinancing, we entered into interest rate swap agreements on the loan with an aggregate notional amount of $500,000,000 to fix LIBOR at 0.46% through August 2024. We also entered into interest rate cap agreements with an aggregate notional amount of $360,000,000 to cap LIBOR at 2.00% through August 2023. These interest rate swaps and interest rate caps are designated as cash flow hedges and therefore changes in their fair values are recognized in other comprehensive income or loss (outside of earnings). We recognized other comprehensive income of $995,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, from the changes in fair value of these derivative financial instruments. See Note 10, Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss. During the next twelve months, we estimate that $1,687,000 of the amounts to be recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss will be reclassified as an increase to interest expense.

The table below provide additional details on our interest rate swaps that are designated as cash flow hedges.

Equity

Stock Repurchase Program

On November 5, 2019, we received authorization from our Board of Directors to repurchase up to $200,000,000 of our common stock, from time to time, in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. During 2020, we repurchased 13,813,158 common shares at a weighted average price of $8.69 per share, or $120,000,000 in the aggregate, of which 12,090,055 shares were repurchased in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 at a weighted average price of $8.98 per share, or $108,520,000 in the aggregate. We did not repurchase any shares in the nine months ended September 30, 2021. We have $80,000,000 available for future repurchases under the existing program. The amount and timing of future repurchases, if any, will depend on a number of factors, including, the price and availability of our shares, trading volume, general market conditions and available funding.

Consolidated Joint Ventures

Noncontrolling interests in consolidated joint ventures consist of equity interests held by third parties in 1633 Broadway, One Market Plaza and 300 Mission Street. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, noncontrolling interests in our consolidated joint ventures aggregated $435,142,000 and $437,161,000, respectively.

Operating Partnership

Noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership represent common units of the Operating Partnership that are held by third parties, including management, and units issued to management under equity incentive plans. Common units of the Operating Partnership may be tendered for redemption to the Operating Partnership for cash. We, at our option, may assume that obligation and pay the holder either cash or common shares on a one-for-one basis. Since the number of common shares outstanding is equal to the number of common units owned by us, the redemption value of each common unit is equal to the market value of each common share and distributions paid to each common unitholder is equivalent to dividends paid to common stockholders. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership on our consolidated balance sheets had a carrying amount of $357,185,000 and $346,379,000, respectively, and a redemption value of $195,973,000 and $187,640,000, respectively, based on the closing share price of our common stock on the New York Stock Exchange.

12.	Variable Interest Entities (“VIEs”)

In the normal course of business, we are the general partner of various types of investment vehicles, which may be considered VIEs. We may, from time to time, own equity or debt securities through vehicles, each of which are considered variable interests. Our involvement in financing the operations of the VIEs is generally limited to our investments in the entity. We consolidate these entities when we are deemed to be the primary beneficiary.

Consolidated VIEs

We are the sole general partner of, and owned approximately 90.9% of, the Operating Partnership as of September 30, 2021. The Operating Partnership is considered a VIE and is consolidated in our consolidated financial statements. Since we conduct our business through and substantially all of our interests are held by the Operating Partnership, the assets and liabilities on our consolidated financial statements represent the assets and liabilities of the Operating Partnership. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Operating Partnership held interests in consolidated VIEs owning properties and a real estate fund that were determined to be VIEs. The assets of these consolidated VIEs may only be used to settle the obligations of the entities and such obligations are secured only by the assets of the entities and are non-recourse to the Operating Partnership or us. The following table summarizes the assets and liabilities of consolidated VIEs of the Operating Partnership.

13.	Fair Value Measurements

Financial Assets Measured at Fair Value

Interest rate swaps and interest rate caps are valued by a third-party specialist using widely accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each swap and cap. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the interest rate swaps and interest rate caps and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities. Interest rate swaps and interest rate caps are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

The following table summarizes the fair value of our financial assets that are measured at fair value on our consolidated balance sheets as of the dates set forth below, based on their levels in the fair value hierarchy.

Leases

We lease office, retail and storage space to tenants, primarily under non-cancellable operating leases, which generally have terms ranging from five to fifteen years. Most of our leases provide tenants with extension options at either fixed or market rates and few of our leases provide tenants with options to early terminate, but such options generally impose an economic penalty on the tenant upon exercising. Rental revenue is recognized in accordance with ASC Topic 842, Leases, and includes (i) fixed payments of cash rents, which represents revenue each tenant pays in accordance with the terms of its respective lease and that is recognized on a straight-line basis over the non-cancellable term of the lease, and includes the effects of rent steps and rent abatements under the leases, (ii) variable payments of tenant reimbursements, which are recoveries of all or a portion of the operating expenses and real estate taxes of the property and is recognized in the same period as the expenses are incurred, (iii) amortization of acquired above and below-market leases, net and (iv) lease termination income.

18.	Incentive Compensation

Stock-Based Compensation

Our Amended and Restated 2014 Equity Incentive Plan provides for grants of equity awards to our executive officers, non-employee directors and employees in order to attract and motivate talent for which we compete. In addition, equity awards are an effective management retention tool as they vest over multiple years based on continued employment. Equity awards are granted in the form of (i) restricted stock and (ii) long-term incentive plan (“LTIP”) units, which represent a class of partnership interests in our Operating Partnership and are typically comprised of performance-based LTIP units, time-based LTIP units and time-based appreciation only LTIP (“AOLTIP”) units. We account for all stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. We recognized stock-based compensation expense of $4,192,000 and $4,503,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $14,421,000 and $14,141,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, related to awards granted in prior periods, including the 2020 equity grants (“2020 Equity Grants”) described below.

2020 Equity Grants

2020 Performance-Based Awards Program (“2020 Performance Program”)

On January 11, 2021, the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors (the “Compensation Committee”) approved the 2020 Performance Program, a multi-year performance-based long-term incentive compensation program. Under the 2020 Performance Program, participants may earn awards in the form of LTIP units based on our Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”) over a three-year performance measurement period beginning on January 1, 2021 and continuing through December 31, 2023. Specifically, 50.0% of the awards would be earned based on the rank of our TSR relative to the TSR of our Central Business District focused New York City office peers, comprised of Vornado Realty Trust, SL Green Realty Corp., Empire State Realty Trust and Columbia Property Trust, and the remaining 50.0% of the awards would be earned based on the percentile rank of our TSR relative to the performance of the constituents of the SNL U.S. Office REIT Index at the time the awards were granted. Furthermore, if our TSR is negative over the three-year performance measurement period, then the number of LTIP units that are earned under the 2020 Performance Program will be reduced by 30.0% of the number of such awards that otherwise would have been earned. Additionally, if the designated performance objectives are achieved, awards earned under the 2020 Performance Program are subject to vesting based on continued employment with us through December 31, 2024, with 50.0% of each award vesting upon the conclusion of the performance measurement period, and the remaining 50.0% vesting on December 31, 2024. Lastly, our Named Executive Officers are required to hold earned awards for an additional year following vesting. The fair value of the awards granted under the 2020 Performance Program on the date of the grant was $7,303,000 and is being amortized into expense over the four-year vesting period using a graded vesting attribution method.

Time-Based Unit Awards Program (“LTIP and AOLTIP Units”)

On January 11, 2021, we granted an aggregate of 579,520 LTIP units and 2,171,875 AOLTIP units to our executive officers and employees that will vest over a period of three to four years. LTIP units are similar to common units of our Operating Partnership in that they are redeemable for cash, or at our election, may be converted on a one-for-one basis into shares of our common stock. AOLTIP units are similar to stock options in that it permits the holder to realize the benefit of any increase in the per share value of our common stock above the value at the time the AOLTIP units were granted and can be converted into a number of common units of our Operating Partnership that have an aggregate value equal to such increase. The common units issued upon the conversion of AOLTIP units are redeemable for cash, or at our election, may be converted on a one-for-one basis into shares of our common stock. The fair value of LTIP units and AOLTIP units on the date of grant were $4,598,000 and $4,344,000, respectively, and these awards are being amortized into expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.

Restricted Stock

On January 11, 2021, we granted an aggregate of 166,686 shares of restricted stock to our employees that will vest over a period of four years. The fair value of the shares of restricted stock on the date of grant was $1,439,000, which is being amortized into expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.

Completion of the 2017 Performance-Based Awards Program (“2017 Performance Program”)

On January 11, 2021, the Compensation Committee determined that the performance goals set forth in the 2017 Performance Program were not satisfied during the performance measurement period, which ended on December 31, 2020. Accordingly, all of the 1,382,807 LTIP units that were granted on February 5, 2018, were forfeited, with no awards being earned. These awards had a grant date fair value of $7,009,000 and a remaining unrecognized compensation cost of $208,000 as of September 30, 2021, which will be amortized over a weighted-average period of 0.25 years.

21.	Commitments and Contingencies

Insurance

We carry commercial general liability coverage on our properties, with limits of liability customary within the industry. Similarly, we are insured against the risk of direct and indirect physical damage to our properties including coverage for the perils such as floods, earthquakes and windstorms. Our policies also cover the loss of rental income during an estimated reconstruction period. Our policies reflect limits and deductibles customary in the industry and specific to the buildings and portfolio. We also obtain title insurance policies when acquiring new properties. We currently have coverage for losses incurred in connection with both domestic and foreign terrorist-related activities. While we do carry commercial general liability insurance, property insurance and terrorism insurance with respect to our properties, these policies include limits and terms we consider commercially reasonable. In addition, there are certain losses (including, but not limited to, losses arising from known environmental conditions or acts of war) that are not insured, in full or in part, because they are either uninsurable or the cost of insurance makes it, in our belief, economically impractical to maintain such coverage. Should an uninsured loss arise against us, we would be required to use our own funds to resolve the issue, including litigation costs. We believe the policy specifications and insured limits are adequate given the relative risk of loss, the cost of the coverage and industry practice and, in consultation with our insurance advisors, we believe the properties in our portfolio are adequately insured.

Other Commitments and Contingencies

We are a party to various claims and routine litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. Some of these claims or others to which we may be subject from time to time, including claims arising specifically from the formation transactions, in connection with our initial public offering, may result in defense costs, settlements, fines or judgments against us, some of which are not, or cannot be, covered by insurance. Payment of any such costs, settlements, fines or judgments that are not insured could have an adverse impact on our financial position and results of operations. Should any litigation arise in connection with the formation transactions, we would contest it vigorously. In addition, certain litigation or the resolution of certain litigation may affect the availability or cost of some of our insurance coverage, which could adversely impact our results of operations and cash flow, expose us to increased risks that would be uninsured, and/or adversely impact our ability to attract officers and directors.

The terms of our mortgage debt and certain side letters in place include certain restrictions and covenants which may limit, among other things, certain investments, the incurrence of additional indebtedness and liens and the disposition or other transfer of assets and interests in the borrower and other credit parties, and require compliance with certain debt yield, debt service coverage and loan to value ratios. In addition, our revolving credit facility contains representations, warranties, covenants, other agreements and events of default customary for agreements of this type with comparable companies. As of September 30, 2021, we believe we are in compliance with all of our covenants.

Transfer Tax Assessments

During 2017, the New York City Department of Finance issued Notices of Determination (“Notices”) assessing additional transfer taxes (including interest and penalties) in connection with the transfer of interests in certain properties during our 2014 initial public offering. We believe, after consultation with legal counsel, that the likelihood of a loss is reasonably possible, and while it is not possible to predict the outcome of these Notices, we estimate the range of loss could be between $0 and $51,000,000. Since no amount in this range is a better estimate than any other amount within the range, we have not accrued any liability arising from potential losses relating to these Notices in our consolidated financial statements.

Segments

Our reportable segments are separated by region, based on the two regions in which we conduct our business: New York and San Francisco. Our determination of segments is aligned with our method of internal reporting and the way our Chief Executive Officer, who is also our Chief Operating Decision Maker, makes key operating decisions, evaluates financial results and manages our business.

The following tables provide Net Operating Income (“NOI”) for each reportable segment for the periods set forth below.

⁽¹⁾

NOI is used to measure the operating performance of our properties. NOI consists of rental revenue (which includes property rentals, tenant reimbursements and lease termination income) and certain other property-related revenue less operating expenses (which includes property-related expenses such as cleaning, security, repairs and maintenance, utilities, property administration and real estate taxes). We use NOI internally as a performance measure and believe it provides useful information to investors regarding our financial condition and results of operations because it reflects only those income and expense items that are incurred at the property level. Other real estate companies may use different methodologies for calculating NOI and, accordingly, our presentation of NOI may not be comparable to other real estate companies.

⁽²⁾	NOI for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 includes NOI from discontinued operations. See Note 3, Discontinued Operations.

intense competition in the real estate market that may limit our ability to acquire attractive investment opportunities and increase the costs of those opportunities;

•

insufficient amounts of insurance;

•

uncertainties and risks related to adverse weather conditions, natural disasters and climate change;

•

failure to meet the restrictive covenants and requirements in our existing debt agreements;

•

fluctuations in interest rates and increased costs to refinance or issue new debt;

•

risks associated with variable rate debt, derivatives or hedging activity;

•

risks associated with the market for our common stock;

•

regulatory changes, including changes to tax laws and regulations;

•

failure to qualify as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”);

Accordingly, there is no assurance that our expectations will be realized. Except as otherwise required by the U.S. federal securities laws, we disclaim any obligations or undertaking to publicly release any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statement contained herein (or elsewhere) to reflect any change in our expectations with regard thereto or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based. A reader should review carefully our consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto, as well as Item 1A entitled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Financial Results - Three Months Ended September 30, 2021 and 2020

Net Income, FFO and Core FFO

Net loss attributable to common stockholders was $2,055,000, or $0.01 per diluted share, for the three months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $6,958,000, or $0.03 per diluted share, for the three months ended September 30, 2020.

Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Real Estate Fund

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests in consolidated real estate fund was $3,179,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to net loss attributable to noncontrolling interest in consolidated real estate fund of $1,291,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, an increase in income allocated to noncontrolling interest of $4,470,000. This increase in income attributable to noncontrolling interests resulted primarily from RDF’s share of gain on sale of residential condominium units at One Steuart Lane in the current year’s nine months.

Net Loss Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests in Operating Partnership

Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership was $2,139,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $895,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, an increase in loss attributable to noncontrolling interests of $1,244,000. This increase in loss resulted from higher net loss subject to allocation to the unitholders of the Operating Partnership for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity

Our primary sources of liquidity include existing cash balances, cash flow from operations and borrowings available under our revolving credit facility. We expect that these sources will provide adequate liquidity over the next 12 months for all anticipated needs, including scheduled principal and interest payments on our outstanding indebtedness, existing and anticipated capital improvements, the cost of securing new and renewal leases, dividends to stockholders and distributions to unitholders, and all other capital needs related to the operations of our business. We anticipate that our long-term needs including debt maturities and the acquisition of additional properties will be funded by operating cash flow, mortgage financings and/or re-financings, the issuance of long-term debt or equity and cash on hand.

Although we may be able to anticipate and plan for certain of our liquidity needs, unexpected increases in uses of cash that are beyond our control and which affect our financial condition and results of operations may arise, or our sources of liquidity may be fewer than, and the funds available from such sources may be less than, anticipated or required.

As of September 30, 2021, we had $1.52 billion of liquidity comprised of $494,569,000 of cash and cash equivalents, $27,977,000 of restricted cash and $1.0 billion of borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility. As of September 30, 2021, our outstanding consolidated debt aggregated $3.86 billion. We had no amounts outstanding under our revolving credit facility and none of our debt matures until October 2023. We may refinance our maturing debt when it comes due or repay it early depending on prevailing market conditions, liquidity requirements and other factors. The amounts involved in connection with these transactions could be material to our consolidated financial statements.

Revolving Credit Facility

Our $1.0 billion revolving credit facility matures in January 2022 and has two six-month extension options. The interest rate on the facility, at current leverage levels, is LIBOR plus 115 basis points and has a 20 basis points facility fee. We also have an option, subject to customary conditions and incremental lender commitments, to increase the capacity under the facility to $1.5 billion at any time prior to the maturity date of the facility. The facility contains certain restrictions and covenants that require us to maintain, on an ongoing basis, (i) a leverage ratio not to exceed 60%, however, the leverage ratio may be increased to 65% for any fiscal quarter in which an acquisition of real estate is completed and for up to the next three subsequent consecutive fiscal quarters, (ii) a secured leverage ratio not to exceed 50%, (iii) a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.50, (iv) an unsecured leverage ratio not to exceed 60%, however, the unsecured leverage ratio may be increased to 65% for any fiscal quarter in which an acquisition of real estate is completed and for up to the next three subsequent consecutive fiscal quarters and (v) an unencumbered interest coverage ratio of at least 1.75. The facility also contains customary representations and warranties, limitations on permitted investments and other covenants.

Dividend Policy

On September 15, 2021, we declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.07 per share of common stock for the third quarter ended September 30, 2021, which was paid on October 15, 2021 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on September 30, 2021. This dividend policy, if continued, would require us to pay out approximately $16,900,000 each quarter to common stockholders and unitholders.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of September 30, 2021, our unconsolidated joint ventures had $1.64 billion of outstanding indebtedness, of which our share was $612,078,000. We do not guarantee the indebtedness of our unconsolidated joint ventures other than providing customary environmental indemnities and guarantees of non-recourse carve-outs; however, we may elect to fund additional capital to a joint venture through equity contributions (generally on a basis proportionate to our ownership interests), advances or partner loans in order to enable the joint venture to repay this indebtedness upon maturity.

Stock Repurchase Program

On November 5, 2019, we received authorization from our Board of Directors to repurchase up to $200,000,000 of our common stock, from time to time, in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. During 2020, we repurchased 13,813,158 common shares at a weighted average price of $8.69 per share, or $120,000,000 in the aggregate, of which 12,090,055 shares were repurchased in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 at a weighted average price of $8.96 per share, or $108,520,000 in the aggregate. We did not repurchase any shares in the nine months ended September 30, 2021. We have $80,000,000 available for future repurchases under the existing program. The amount and timing of future repurchases, if any, will depend on a number of factors, including, the price and availability of our shares, trading volume, general market conditions and available funding. The stock repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time.

Insurance

Other Commitments and Contingencies

Transfer Tax Assessments

During 2017, the New York City Department of Finance issued Notices of Determination (“Notices”) assessing additional transfer taxes (including interest and penalties) in connection with the transfer of interests in certain properties during our 2014 initial public offering. We believe, after consultation with legal counsel that the likelihood of a loss is reasonably possible, and while it is not possible to predict the outcome of these Notices, we estimate the range of loss could be between $0 and $51,000,000. Since no amount in this range is a better estimate than any other amount within the range, we have not accrued any liability arising from potential losses relating to these Notices in our consolidated financial statements.

Inflation

Substantially all of our leases provide for separate real estate tax and operating expense escalations. In addition, many of the leases provide for fixed base rent increases. We believe inflationary increases in expenses may be at least partially offset by the contractual rent increases and expense escalations described above. We do not believe inflation has had a material impact on our historical financial position or results of operations.

Cash Flows

Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash were $522,546,000 and $465,324,000 as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, and $546,907,000 and $331,487,000 as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash increased by $57,222,000 and $215,420,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The following table sets forth the changes in cash flow.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We use and present NOI, Same Store NOI, FFO and Core FFO, as supplemental measures of our performance. The summary below describes our use of these measures, provides information regarding why we believe these measures are meaningful supplemental measures of our performance and reconciles these measures from net income or loss, the most directly comparable GAAP measure. Other real estate companies may use different methodologies for calculating these measures, and accordingly, our presentation of these measures may not be comparable to other real estate companies. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered a substitute for, and should only be considered together with and as a supplement to, financial information presented in accordance with GAAP.

Net Operating Income (“NOI”)

We use NOI to measure the operating performance of our properties. NOI consists of rental revenue (which includes property rentals, tenant reimbursements and lease termination income) and certain other property-related revenue less operating expenses (which includes property-related expenses such as cleaning, security, repairs and maintenance, utilities, property administration and real estate taxes). We also present Cash NOI, which deducts from NOI, straight-line rent adjustments and the amortization of above and below-market leases, including our share of such adjustments of unconsolidated joint ventures. In addition, we present Paramount's share of NOI and Cash NOI which represents our share of NOI and Cash NOI of consolidated and unconsolidated joint ventures, based on our percentage ownership in the underlying assets. We use NOI and Cash NOI internally as performance measures and believe they provide useful information to investors regarding our financial condition and results of operations because they reflect only those income and expense items that are incurred at property level. The following tables present reconciliations of net income or loss to NOI and Cash NOI for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020.

Same Store NOI

The tables below set forth the reconciliations of our share of NOI to our share of Same Store NOI and Same Store Cash NOI for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020. These metrics are used to measure the operating performance of our properties that were owned by us in a similar manner during both the current and prior reporting periods, and represents our share of Same Store NOI and Same Store Cash NOI from consolidated and unconsolidated joint ventures based on our percentage ownership in the underlying assets. Same Store NOI also excludes lease termination income, impairment of receivables arising from operating leases and certain other items that vary from period to period. Same Store Cash NOI excludes the effect of non-cash items such as the straight-line rent adjustments and the amortization of above and below-market leases.

Funds from Operations (“FFO”) and Core Funds from Operations (“Core FFO”)

FFO is a supplemental measure of our performance. We present FFO in accordance with the definition adopted by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“Nareit”). Nareit defines FFO as net income or loss, calculated in accordance with GAAP, adjusted to exclude depreciation and amortization from real estate assets, impairment losses on certain real estate assets and gains or losses from the sale of certain real estate assets or from change in control of certain real estate assets, including our share of such adjustments of unconsolidated joint ventures. FFO is commonly used in the real estate industry to assist investors and analysts in comparing results of real estate companies because it excludes the effect of real estate depreciation and amortization and net gains on sales, which are based on historical costs and implicitly assume that the value of real estate diminishes predictably over time, rather than fluctuating based on existing market conditions. In addition, we present Core FFO as an alternative measure of our operating performance, which adjusts FFO for certain other items that we believe enhance the comparability of our FFO across periods. Core FFO, when applicable, excludes the impact of certain items, including, transaction related costs, realized and unrealized gains or losses on real estate fund investments, unrealized gains or losses on interest rate swaps, severance costs and gains or losses on early extinguishment of debt, in order to reflect the Core FFO of our real estate portfolio and operations. In future periods, we may also exclude other items from Core FFO that we believe may help investors compare our results.

FFO and Core FFO are presented as supplemental financial measures and do not fully represent our operating performance. Neither FFO nor Core FFO is intended to be a measure of cash flow or liquidity. Please refer to our consolidated financial statements, prepared in accordance with GAAP, for purposes of evaluating our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

The following table presents a reconciliation of net loss to FFO and Core FFO for the periods set forth below.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and interest rates. Our future earnings, cash flows and fair values relevant to financial instruments are dependent upon prevalent market interest rates. Our primary market risk results from our indebtedness, which bears interest at both fixed and variable rates. We manage our market risk on variable rate debt by entering into swap agreements to fix the rate on all or a portion of the debt for varying periods through maturity. This in turn, reduces the risks of variability of cash flows created by variable rate debt and mitigates the risk of increases in interest rates. Our objective when undertaking such arrangements is to reduce our floating rate exposure and we do not enter into hedging arrangements for speculative purposes. Subject to maintaining our status as a REIT for Federal income tax purposes, we may utilize swap arrangements in the future.

The following table summarizes our consolidated debt, the weighted average interest rates and the fair value as of September 30, 2021.

Property		Rate	2021		2022		2023		2024		2025		Thereafter		Total		Fair Value

On March 5, 2021, the Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) confirmed it will cease the publication of the one-week and two-month LIBOR rates after December 31, 2021. The remaining LIBOR rates will continue to be published through June 30, 2023, after which the interest rate for our variable rate debt and derivative instruments, including interest rates for our variable rate debt and derivative instruments of our unconsolidated joint ventures, will be based on an alternative variable rate as specified in the applicable documentation governing such debt or derivative instruments or as otherwise agreed upon. While we expect LIBOR to be available in substantially its current form until at least the end of June 2023, it is possible that LIBOR may become unavailable prior to that point. The discontinuation of LIBOR and the related transition to an alternative rate would not affect our ability to borrow or maintain already outstanding borrowings or swaps, however, future changes may result in interest rates and/or payments that are higher or lower than if LIBOR were to remain available in its current form. As of September 30, 2021, all of our variable rate debt outstanding and derivative instruments are indexed to LIBOR and we will continue to monitor and evaluate the related risks.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is processed, recorded, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and regulations, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.

As of September 30, 2021, the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, regarding the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing evaluation, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is processed, recorded, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes to our internal control over financial reporting in connection with the evaluation referenced above that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
