CARTER VALIDUS MISSION CRITICAL REIT II, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
March 31, 2018
Note 1—Organization and Business Operations
Carter Validus Mission Critical REIT II, Inc., or the Company, is a Maryland corporation that was formed on January 11, 2013. The Company has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust, or a REIT, under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, for federal income tax purposes. Substantially all of the Company’s business is conducted through Carter Validus Operating Partnership II, LP, a Delaware limited partnership, or the Operating Partnership, formed on January 10, 2013. The Company is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership and Carter Validus Advisors II, LLC, or the Advisor, is the special limited partner of the Operating Partnership.
The Company commenced the initial public offering of $2,350,000,000 in shares of common stock, or the Initial Offering, consisting of up to $2,250,000,000 in shares in its primary offering and up to $100,000,000 in shares of common stock to be made available pursuant to the Company’s distribution reinvestment plan, or the DRIP. The Company ceased offering shares of common stock pursuant to the Initial Offering on November 24, 2017. At the completion of the Initial Offering, the Company had accepted investors' subscriptions for and issued approximately 125,095,000 shares of Class A, Class I and Class T common stock, including shares of common stock issued pursuant to the DRIP, resulting in gross proceeds of $1,223,803,000.
During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-3 to register 10,893,246 shares of common stock under the DRIP for a proposed maximum offering price of $100,000,000 in shares of common stock, or the DRIP Offering. On November 27, 2017, the Company commenced its follow-on offering of up to $1,000,000,000 in shares of common stock, or the Offering, and collectively with the Initial Offering and the DRIP Offering, the Offerings. The Company will continue to issue shares of common stock under the DRIP Offering until such time as the Company sells all of the shares registered for sale under the DRIP Offering, unless the Company files a new registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, or the DRIP Offering is terminated by the Company's board of directors.
As of March 14, 2018, the Company ceased offering shares of Class T common stock in the Offering. Commencing March 15, 2018, the Company is offering, in any combination with a dollar value up to the maximum offering amount, Class A shares of common stock at a price of $10.200 per share, Class I shares of common stock at a price of $9.273 per share, and Class T2 shares of common stock at a price of $9.714 per share. The offering prices are based on the most recent estimated per share net asset value of each of the Class A common stock, Class I common stock and Class T common stock, and any applicable per share upfront selling commissions and dealer manager fees.
As of March 31, 2018, the Company had issued approximately 131,171,000 shares of Class A, Class I, Class T and Class T2 common stock in the Offerings, resulting in receipt of gross proceeds of approximately $1,281,654,000, before share repurchases of $29,004,000, selling commissions and dealer manager fees of approximately $93,587,000 and other offering costs of approximately $24,389,000.
Substantially all of the Company’s business is managed by the Advisor. Carter Validus Real Estate Management Services II, LLC, or the Property Manager, an affiliate of the Advisor, serves as the Company’s property manager. The Advisor and the Property Manager have received, and will continue to receive, fees for services related to the acquisition and operational stages. The Advisor will also be eligible to receive fees during the liquidation stage. SC Distributors, LLC, an affiliate of the Advisor, or the Dealer Manager, serves as the dealer manager of the Offering. The Dealer Manager has received, and will continue to receive, fees for services related to the Initial Offering and the Offering.
The Company was formed to invest primarily in quality income-producing commercial real estate, with a focus on data centers and healthcare properties, preferably with long-term net leases to creditworthy tenants, as well as to make other real estate-related investments that relate to such property types, which may include equity or debt interests, including securities, in other real estate entities. The Company also may originate or invest in real estate-related notes receivable. As of March 31, 2018, the Company owned 54 real estate investments, consisting of 72 properties.
Except as the context otherwise requires, “we,” “our,” “us,” and the “Company” refer to Carter Validus Mission Critical REIT II, Inc., the Operating Partnership and all wholly-owned subsidiaries.

Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The summary of significant accounting policies presented below is designed to assist in understanding the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. Such condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes thereto are the representation of management. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP, for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of a normal and recurring nature considered for a fair presentation, have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2018, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2018.
The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2017, has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2017, and related notes thereto set forth in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on March 21, 2018.
Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, the Operating Partnership, and all wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes in conformity with GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates are made and evaluated on an ongoing basis using information that is currently available as well as various other assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash consists of restricted cash held in escrow and restricted bank deposits. Restricted cash held in escrow includes cash held in escrow accounts for capital improvements for certain properties as well as cash held by lenders in escrow accounts for tenant and capital improvements, repairs and maintenance and other lender reserves for certain properties, in accordance with the respective lender’s loan agreement. Restricted cash held in escrow is reported in other assets, net in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Restricted bank deposits consist of tenant receipts for certain properties which are required to be deposited into lender-controlled accounts in accordance with the respective lender's loan agreement. Restricted bank deposits are reported in other assets, net in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. See Note 6—"Other Assets, Net".
On April 1, 2017, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, 2016-18, Restricted Cash, or ASU 2016-18. ASU 2016-18 requires that a statement of cash flows explain the change during a reporting period in the total of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash. This ASU states that transfers between cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash are not part of the Company’s operating, investing and financing activities. Therefore, restricted cash should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning of period and end of period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. As required, the Company retrospectively applied the guidance in ASU 2016-18 to the prior periods presented, which resulted in a decrease of $2,000 in net cash provided by operating activities, an increase of $193,000 in net cash used in investing activities and an increase of $213,000 in net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2017 on the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

The following table presents a reconciliation of the beginning of period and end of period cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash reported within the condensed consolidated balance sheets to the totals shown in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows:

Concentration of Credit Risk and Significant Leases
As of March 31, 2018, the Company had cash on deposit, including restricted cash, in certain financial institutions that had deposits in excess of current federally insured levels; however, the Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. The Company limits its cash investments to financial institutions with high credit standing; therefore, the Company believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on its cash deposits. To date, the Company has experienced no loss or lack of access to cash in its accounts.
As of March 31, 2018, the Company owned real estate investments in 38 MSAs, two of which accounted for 10.0% or more of contractual rental revenue. Real estate investments located in the Atlanta-Sandy Springs-Roswell, Georgia MSA and the Oklahoma City, Oklahoma MSA accounted for 16.1% and 10.1%, respectively, of contractual rental revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2018.
As of March 31, 2018, the Company had no exposure to tenant concentration that accounted for 10.0% or more of contractual rental revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2018.
Share Repurchase Program
The Company’s share repurchase program allows for repurchases of shares of the Company’s common stock when certain criteria are met. The share repurchase program provides that all repurchases during any calendar year, including those redeemable upon death or a Qualifying Disability of a stockholder, are limited to those that can be funded with equivalent proceeds raised from the DRIP Offering during the prior calendar year and other operating funds, if any, as the board of directors, in its sole discretion, may reserve for this purpose.
Repurchases of shares of the Company’s common stock are at the sole discretion of the Company’s board of directors. The Company will limit the number of shares repurchased pursuant to the share repurchase program as follows: during any calendar year, the Company will not repurchase in excess of 5.0% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding on December 31st of the previous calendar year. In addition, the Company’s board of directors, in its sole discretion, may suspend (in whole or in part) the share repurchase program at any time, and may amend, reduce, terminate or otherwise change the share repurchase program upon 30 days' prior notice to the Company’s stockholders for any reason it deems appropriate.
During the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company received valid repurchase requests related to 917,212 Class A shares and Class T shares of common stock (842,952 Class A shares and 74,260 Class T shares), all of which were redeemed in full for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $8,420,000 (an average of $9.18 per share). During the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Company received valid repurchase requests related to 240,902 Class A shares of common stock, all of which were redeemed in full for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $2,185,000 (an average of $9.07 per share).
Earnings Per Share
The Company calculates basic earnings per share by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders for the period by the weighted average shares of its common stock outstanding for that period. Diluted earnings per share are computed based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding and all potentially dilutive securities. Shares of non-vested restricted common stock give rise to potentially dilutive shares of common stock. For the three months ended March 31,
9
2018 and 2017, diluted earnings per share reflected the effect of 18,000 and 17,000 shares, respectively, of non-vested shares of restricted common stock that were outstanding as of such period.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
On May 28, 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, or ASU 2014-09. The pronouncement was issued to clarify the principles for recognizing revenue and to develop a common revenue standard and disclosure requirements. The pronouncement is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Upon adoption of ASU 2016-02 in 2019, as discussed below, the Company may be required to classify its tenant recoveries into lease and nonlease components, whereby the nonlease components would be subject to ASU 2014-09, pending the resolution of the proposed amendment issued by the FASB in January 2018. The Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2014-09 effective January 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective approach. The Company's rental revenue consists of (i) contractual revenues from leases recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the respective lease; (ii) parking revenue; and (iii) the reimbursements of the tenants' share of real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expresses. Rental property revenue is accounted in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 840, Leases. The Company evaluated the revenue recognition for its contracts within this scope under existing accounting standards and under ASU 2014-09 and concluded that there was no changes to the condensed consolidated financial statements as a result of adoption.
On February 23, 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-05, Clarifying the Scope of Asset Derecognition Guidance and Accounting for Partial Sales of Nonfinancial Assets, or ASU 2017-05. ASU 2017-05 clarifies the scope of asset derecognition guidance and accounting for partial sales of nonfinancial assets. Partial sales of non-financial assets are common in the real estate industry and include transactions in which the seller retains an equity interest in the entity that owns the assets or has an equity interest in the buyer. ASU 2017-05 provides guidance on how entities should recognize sales, including partial sales, of non-financial assets (and in-substance non-financial assets) to non-customers. ASU 2017-05 requires the seller to recognize a full gain or loss in a partial sale of non-financial assets, to the extent control is not retained. Any noncontrolling interest retained by the seller would, accordingly, be measured at fair value. ASU 2017-05 was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted the ASU 2017-05 effective January 1, 2018. The Company has not disposed any real estate properties, therefore, the adoption of ASU 2017-05 has no impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.
On February 25, 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases, or ASU 2016-02. ASU 2016-02 establishes the principles to increase the transparency about the assets and liabilities arising from leases. ASU 2016-02 results in a more faithful representation of the rights and obligations arising from leases by requiring lessees to recognize the lease assets and lease liabilities that arise from leases in the statement of financial position and to disclose qualitative and quantitative information about lease transactions and aligns lessor accounting and sale leaseback transactions guidance more closely to comparable guidance in Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and Topic 610, Other Income. Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Non-financial Assets. Under ASU 2016-02, a lessee is 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. The Company is a lessee on a limited number of ground leases, which will result in the recognition of a right of use asset and lease liability upon the adoption of ASU 2016-02. Lessor accounting remains largely unchanged, apart from the narrower scope of initial direct costs that can be capitalized. The new standard will result in certain costs, such as legal costs related to lease negotiations, being expensed rather than capitalized. In addition, ASU 2016-02 requires lessors to identify the lease and non-lease components, such as the reimbursement of common area maintenance, contained within each lease. The non-lease components would have to be evaluated under the revenue recognition guidance of ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, or ASU 2014-09. Recoveries from tenants to be impacted by ASU 2014-09 will not be addressed until the Company's adoption of ASU 2016-02. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. In January 2018, the FASB proposed an amendment to ASU 2016-02 to simplify the guidance by allowing lessors to elect a practical expedient to allow lessors to not separate non-lease components from a lease, which would provide the Company with the option of not bifurcating certain common area maintenance recoveries as a non-lease component. The Company will evaluate the impact of this amendment to the ASU when it is final.
On June 16, 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses, or ASU 2016-13. ASU 2016-13 requires more timely recording of credit losses on loans and other financial instruments that are not accounted for at fair value through net income, including loans held for investment, held-to-maturity debt securities, trade and other receivables, net investment in leases and other such commitments. ASU 2016-13 requires that financial assets measured at amortized cost be presented at the net amount expected to be collected, through an allowance for credit losses that is deducted from the amortized cost basis. The amendments in ASU 2016-13 require the Company to measure all expected credit losses based upon historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the financial assets and eliminates the “incurred loss” methodology in current GAAP. ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for fiscal years, and interim periods within, beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact ASU 2016-13 will have on the Company’s
10
condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company believes that certain financial statements' accounts will be impacted by the adoption of ASU 2016-13, including allowances for doubtful accounts with respect to accounts receivable and straight-line rents receivable.
On August 28, 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities, or ASU 2017-12. The objectives of ASU 2017-12 are to (i) improve the transparency and understandability of information conveyed to financial statement users about an entity’s risk management activities by better aligning the entity’s financial reporting for hedging relationships with those risk management activities and (ii) reduce the complexity of and simplify the application of hedge accounting by preparers. ASU 2017-12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods therein. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is in process of evaluating the impact that ASU 2017-12 will have on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
Note 3—Real Estate Investments
During the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company purchased a portfolio of two real estate properties, which was determined to be an asset acquisition. Upon the acquisition of the real estate properties determined to be asset acquisitions, the Company allocated the purchase price of the real estate portfolio to acquired tangible assets, consisting of land and buildings and improvements, and acquired intangible assets, based on a relative fair value method allocating all accumulated costs.
The following table summarizes the consideration transferred for the properties acquired during the three months ended March 31, 2018:

Acquisition fees and costs associated with transactions determined to be asset acquisitions are capitalized. The Company capitalized acquisition fees and costs of approximately $1,127,000 related to properties acquired during the three months ended March 31, 2018. The total amount of all acquisition fees and costs is limited to 6.0% of the contract purchase price of a property. The contract purchase price is the amount actually paid or allocated in respect of the purchase, development, construction or improvement of a property exclusive of acquisition fees and costs. For the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, acquisition fees and costs did not exceed 6.0% of the contract purchase price of the Company's acquisitions during such periods.

Note 9—Related-Party Transactions and Arrangements
The Company reimburses the Advisor and its affiliates for organization and offering expenses it incurs on the Company’s behalf, but only to the extent the reimbursement would not cause the selling commissions, dealer manager fees, distribution and servicing fees and other organization and offering expenses to exceed 15.0% of the gross proceeds of the Company's Initial Offering or Offering, respectively. Organization and offering expenses (other than selling commissions, dealer manager fees and distribution and servicing fees) associated with the Company's Initial Offering, which terminated on November 24, 2017, were approximately 2.0% of the gross proceeds. The Company expects that organization and offering expenses (other than selling commissions, dealer manager fees and distribution and servicing fees) associated with the Company's Offering, which commenced on November 27, 2017, will be approximately 2.0% of the gross proceeds at the termination of the Offering.

Upon termination or non-renewal of the advisory agreement, with or without cause, the Advisor will be entitled to receive subordinated termination fees from the Operating Partnership equal to 15% of the amount by which the sum of the Company’s adjusted market value plus distributions exceeds the sum of the aggregate capital contributed by investors plus an amount equal to an annual 6.0% cumulative, non-compounded return to investors. In addition, the Advisor may elect to defer its right to receive a subordinated termination fee upon termination until either shares of the Company’s common stock are listed and traded on a national securities exchange or another liquidity event occurs. As of March 31, 2018, the Company has not incurred any subordinated termination fees to the Advisor or its affiliates.

Note 10—Segment Reporting
Management reviews the performance of individual properties and aggregates individual properties based on operating criteria into two reportable segments—commercial real estate investments in data centers and healthcare, and makes operating decisions based on these two reportable segments. The Company’s commercial real estate investments in data centers and healthcare are based on certain underwriting assumptions and operating criteria, which are different for data centers and healthcare. There were no intersegment sales or transfers during the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017.
16
The Company evaluates performance based on net operating income of the individual properties in each segment. Net operating income, a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined as total revenues, less rental and parking expenses, which excludes depreciation and amortization, general and administrative expenses, acquisition related expenses, asset management fees and interest expense, net. The Company believes that segment net operating income serves as a useful supplement to net income because it allows investors and management to measure unlevered property-level operating results and to compare operating results to the operating results of other real estate companies between periods on a consistent basis. Segment net operating income should not be considered as an alternative to net income determined in accordance with GAAP as an indicator of financial performance, and accordingly, the Company believes that in order to facilitate a clear understanding of the consolidated historical operating results, segment net operating income should be examined in conjunction with net income as presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and data included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Non-segment assets primarily consist of corporate assets, including cash and cash equivalents, real estate and escrow deposits, deferred financing costs attributable to the revolving line of credit portion of the Company's secured credit facility and other assets not attributable to individual properties.
Summary information for the reportable segments during the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, is as follows (amounts in thousands):

Note 12—Fair Value
Notes payable—Fixed Rate—The estimated fair value of notes payable—fixed rate measured using observable inputs from similar liabilities (Level 2) was approximately $212,467,000 and $211,011,000 as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively, as compared to the outstanding principal of $220,414,000 and $220,436,000 as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. The estimated fair value of notes payable—variable rate fixed through interest rate swap agreements (Level 2) was approximately $240,768,000 and $243,812,000 as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively, as compared to the outstanding principal of $247,636,000 and $247,699,000 as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.
Secured credit facility—The outstanding principal of the secured credit facility—variable was $150,000,000 and $120,000,000, which approximated its fair value as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. The fair value of the Company's variable rate secured credit facility is estimated based on the interest rates currently offered to the Company by financial institutions. The estimated fair value of the secured credit facility—variable rate fixed through interest rate swap agreements (Level 2) was approximately $97,896,000 and $98,593,000 as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively, as compared to the outstanding principal of $100,000,000 as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017.
Derivative instruments—Considerable judgment is necessary to develop estimated fair values of financial instruments. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amount the Company could realize, or be liable for, on disposition of the financial instruments. The Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its interest rate swaps fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The credit valuation adjustments associated with these instruments utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads, to evaluate the likelihood of default by the Company and the respective counterparty. However, as of March 31, 2018, the Company has assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions, and has determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of its interest rate swaps. As a result, the Company determined that its interest rate swaps valuation is classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Note 13—Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk
The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish these objectives, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount.
The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated, and that qualify, as cash flow hedges is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of stockholders' equity and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings.
During the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company's derivative instruments were used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with variable rate debt. The ineffective portion of changes in fair value of the derivatives are recognized directly in earnings. During the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company recognized a loss of $39,000 and $8,000, respectively, due to ineffectiveness of its hedges of interest rate risk, which was recorded in interest expense, net in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income.
Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income related to the derivative will be reclassified to interest expense, net as interest payments are made on the Company’s variable rate debt. During the next twelve months, the Company estimates that an additional $1,343,000 will be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income as a decrease to interest expense, net.
See Note 12—"Fair Value" for a further discussion of the fair value of the Company’s derivative instruments.
20
The following table summarizes the notional amount and fair value of the Company’s derivative instruments (amounts in thousands):
Derivatives Designated as Hedging Instruments | Balance Sheet Location | Effective Dates | Maturity Dates | March 31, 2018 | December 31, 2017 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
Outstanding Notional Amount | Fair Value of | Outstanding Notional Amount | Fair Value of | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

The notional amount under the agreements is an indication of the extent of the Company’s involvement in the instruments at the time, but does not represent exposure to credit, interest rate or market risks.
Accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative instrument depends on the intended use and designation of the derivative instrument. The Company designated the interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges to hedge the variability of the anticipated cash flows on its variable rate secured credit facility and notes payable. The change in fair value of the effective portion of the derivative instruments that are designated as hedges is recorded in other comprehensive income (loss), or OCI, in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income.
The table below summarizes the amount of income recognized on the interest rate derivatives designated as cash flow hedges for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 (amounts in thousands):

Credit Risk-Related Contingent Features
The Company has agreements with each of its derivative counterparties that contain a provision where if the Company either defaults or is capable of being declared in default on any of its indebtedness, then the Company could also be declared in default on its derivative obligations. The Company records credit risk valuation adjustments on its interest rate swaps based on the respective credit quality of the Company and the counterparty. The Company believes it mitigates its credit risk by entering into agreements with creditworthy counterparties. As of March 31, 2018, there were no derivatives in a net liability position. Therefore, the fair value, including accrued interest but excluding any adjustment for nonperformance risk related to the agreement, was $0. As of March 31, 2018, there were no termination events or events of default related to the interest rate swaps.

Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On a regular basis, we evaluate these estimates. These estimates are based on management’s historical industry experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Overview
We were formed on January 11, 2013 under the laws of Maryland to acquire and operate a diversified portfolio of income-producing commercial real estate with a focus on data centers and healthcare properties, preferably with long-term net leases to creditworthy tenants, as well as to make real estate-related investments that relate to such property types.
We commenced our initial public offering of $2,350,000,000 of shares of our common stock, or our Initial Offering, consisting of $2,250,000,000 of shares in our primary offering and up to $100,000,000 of shares pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan, or DRIP, on May 29, 2014. We ceased offering shares of common stock pursuant to our Initial Offering on November 24, 2017. At the completion of our Initial Offering, we had accepted investors subscriptions for and issued approximately 125,095,000 shares of Class A, Class I and Class T common stock, including shares of common stock issued pursuant to our DRIP resulting in gross proceeds of $1,223,803,000, before selling commissions and dealer manager fees of approximately $91,503,000.
On November 27, 2017, our follow-on offering, or our Offering, of up to $1,000,000,000 in shares of Class A common stock, Class I common stock, and Class T common stock pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-11, or the Follow-On Registration Statement, was declared effective by the SEC.
On September 28, 2017, our board of directors, at the recommendation of the audit committee, which is comprised solely of independent directors, unanimously approved and established an estimated per share net asset value, or Estimated Per Share NAV, of $9.18 as of June 30, 2017, of each of our Class A common stock, Class I common stock and Class T common stock for purposes of assisting broker-dealers participating in the Initial Offering and the Offering in meeting their customer account statement reporting obligations under the National Association of Securities Dealers Conduct Rule 2340. As a result of our board of directors' determination of the Estimated Per Share NAV, our board of directors approved the revised primary offering prices of $10.200 per Class A share, $9.273 per Class I share, and $9.766 per Class T share, effective October 1, 2017. Further,
26
our board of directors approved $9.18 as the per share purchase price of Class A shares, Class I shares and Class T shares pursuant to the DRIP, effective October 1, 2017. The Estimated Per Share NAV is not subject to audit by our independent registered public accounting firm. We intend to publish an updated estimated NAV per share on at least an annual basis.
On October 13, 2017, we registered 10,893,246 shares of common stock under the DRIP pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-3, or the DRIP Registration Statement, for a price per share of $9.18 per Class A share, Class I share and Class T share for a proposed maximum offering price of $100,000,000 in shares of common stock, or the DRIP Offering. The DRIP Registration Statement was automatically effective with the SEC upon filing and we commenced offering shares of common stock pursuant to the DRIP Registration Statement on December 1, 2017. On December 6, 2017, we filed a post-effective amendment to our DRIP Registration Statement to register shares of Class T2 common stock at $9.18 per share.
On June 2, 2017, we filed Articles Supplementary to the Second Articles of Amendment and Restatement with the State Department of Assessments and Taxation of Maryland reclassifying a portion of our Class A common stock, Class I common stock and Class T common stock as Class T2 common stock. On December 6, 2017, we filed Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to our Registration Statement on Form S-11 to register Class T2 shares of common stock, which was declared effective by the SEC on February 20, 2018.
We ceased offering shares of Class T common stock in our Offering on March 14, 2018. As of March 15, 2018, we are offering, in any combination with a dollar value up to the maximum offering amount, shares of Class A common stock at a price of $10.200 per share, shares of Class I common stock at a price of $9.273 per share, and shares of Class T2 common stock at a price of $9.714 per share. The offering prices are based on the Estimated Per Share NAV of $9.18 of each of our Class A common stock, Class I common stock and Class T common stock, and any applicable per share upfront selling commissions and dealer manager fees. We refer to the "Offering", "Initial Offering" and "DRIP Offering" collectively as the "Offerings".
Substantially all of our operations are conducted through our Operating Partnership. We are externally advised by our Advisor, which is our affiliate, pursuant to an advisory agreement between us and our Advisor. Our Advisor supervises and manages our day-to-day operations and selects the properties and real estate-related investments we acquire, subject to the oversight and approval of our board of directors. Our Advisor also provides marketing, sales and client services related to real estate on our behalf. Our Advisor engages affiliated entities to provide various services to us. Our Advisor is managed by, and is a subsidiary of, our sponsor, Carter Validus REIT Management Company II, LLC, or our Sponsor. We have no paid employees and we rely on our Advisor to provide substantially all of our services.
Carter Validus Real Estate Management Services II, LLC, or our Property Manager, a wholly-owned subsidiary of our Sponsor, serves as our property manager. Our Advisor and our Property Manager received, and will continue to receive, fees during the acquisition and operational stages and our Advisor may be eligible to receive fees during the liquidation stage of the Company. SC Distributors, LLC, an affiliate of the Advisor, or the Dealer Manager, serves as the dealer manager of the Offerings. The Dealer Manager has received, and will continue to receive, fees for services related to our Initial Offering and the Offering.
Effective April 10, 2018, John E. Carter resigned as Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Mr. Carter remains with the Company as the Chairman of the board of directors, or the Board. In connection with the resignation of Mr. Carter as Chief Executive Officer, the Board appointed Michael A. Seton to serve as Chief Executive Officer of the Company, effective April 10, 2018. Mr. Seton continues to serve as President of the Company.
We currently operate through two reportable segments – commercial real estate investments in data centers and healthcare. As of March 31, 2018, we had purchased 54 real estate investments, consisting of 72 properties, comprising approximately 5,323,000 of rental square feet for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $1,663,142,000.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our critical accounting policies were disclosed in our 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies as disclosed therein.
Interim Unaudited Financial Data
Our accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by us in accordance with GAAP in conjunction with the rules and regulations of the SEC. Certain information and footnote disclosures required for annual financial statements have been condensed or excluded pursuant to SEC rules and regulations. Accordingly, our accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Our accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are, in our view, of a normal recurring nature and necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim period. Interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year; such full year results may be less favorable. Our accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements
27
should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in our 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Qualification as a REIT
We elected, and qualify,to be taxed as a REIT for federal income tax purposes and we intend to continue to be taxed as a REIT. To maintain our qualification as a REIT, we must continue to meet certain organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement to currently distribute at least 90.0% of our REIT taxable income to our stockholders. As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to federal income tax on taxable income that we distribute to our stockholders. If we fail to maintain our qualification as a REIT in any taxable year, we would then be subject to federal income taxes on our taxable income at regular corporate rates and would not be permitted to qualify for treatment as a REIT for federal income tax purposes for four years following the year during which qualification is lost unless the Internal Revenue Service grants us relief under certain statutory provisions. Such an event could have a material adverse effect on our net income and net cash available for distribution to our stockholders.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
For a discussion of recently issued accounting pronouncements, see Note 2—“Summary of Significant Accounting Policies—Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements” to our condensed consolidated financial statements that are a part of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Segment Reporting
We report our financial performance based on two reporting segments—commercial real estate investments in data centers and healthcare. See Note 10—"Segment Reporting" to our condensed consolidated financial statements that are part of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information on our two reporting segments.
Factors that May Influence Results of Operations
We are not aware of any material trends or uncertainties, other than national economic conditions affecting real estate generally, that may reasonably be expected to have a material impact, favorable or unfavorable, on revenues or income from the acquisition, management and operation of our properties other than those set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 and in Part II, Item 1A. "Risk Factors" of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Results of Operations
Our results of operations are influenced by the timing of acquisitions and the operating performance of our real estate properties. The following table shows the property statistics of our real estate properties as of March 31, 2018 and 2017:

This section describes and compares our results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017. We generate almost all of our net operating income from property operations. In order to evaluate our overall portfolio, management analyzes the net operating income of same store properties. We define "same store properties" as operating properties that were owned and operated for the entirety of both calendar periods being compared and exclude properties under development.
By evaluating the property net operating income of our same store properties, management is able to monitor the operations of our existing properties for comparable periods to measure the performance of our current portfolio and determine the effects of our new acquisitions on net income.

Organization and Offering Costs
We reimburse our Advisor or its affiliates for organization and offering costs it incurs on our behalf, but only to the extent the reimbursement would not cause the selling commissions, dealer manager fees, distribution and servicing fees and other organization and offering costs incurred by us to exceed 15% of gross offering proceeds from the Initial Offering or the Offering, as applicable, as of the date of the reimbursement. Other offering costs associated with the Initial Offering (other than selling commissions, dealer manager fees and distribution and servicing fees) were approximately 2.0% of the gross offering proceeds. We expect that other offering costs associated with the Offering (other than selling commissions, dealer manager fees and distribution and servicing fees) will be approximately 2.0% of the gross offering proceeds. Since inception, our Advisor and its affiliates incurred other organization and offering costs on our behalf of approximately $18,316,000 as of March 31, 2018. As of March 31, 2018, we reimbursed our Advisor or its affiliates approximately $17,582,000 in other offering costs. In addition, we paid our Advisor or its affiliates $495,000 in other offering costs related to subscription agreements. As of March 31, 2018, we accrued approximately $239,000 of other offering costs to our Advisor and its affiliates. As of March 31, 2018, we incurred approximately $93,587,000 in selling commissions and dealer manager fees and $16,204,000 in distribution and servicing fees to our Dealer Manager. As of March 31, 2018, we incurred other offering costs (other than selling commissions, dealer manager fees and distribution and servicing fees) of approximately $24,389,000.
When incurred, organization costs are expensed and offering costs, including selling commissions, dealer manager fees, distribution and servicing fees and other offering costs are charged to stockholders’ equity. For a further discussion of other organization and offering costs, see Note 9—"Related-Party Transactions and Arrangements" to the condensed consolidated financial statements that are a part of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Inflation
We are exposed to inflation risk as income from long-term leases is the primary source of our cash flows from operations. There are provisions in certain of our leases with tenants that are intended to protect us from, and mitigate the risk of, the impact of inflation. These provisions include scheduled increases in contractual base rent receipts, reimbursement billings for operating expenses, pass-through charges and real estate tax and insurance reimbursements. However, due to the long-term nature of our leases, among other factors, the leases may not reset frequently enough to adequately offset the effects of inflation.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal demands for funds are for acquisitions of real estate and real estate-related investments, to pay operating expenses and interest on our current and future indebtedness and to pay distributions to our stockholders. Our sources of funds are primarily the net proceeds of our Offering, funds equal to amounts reinvested in the DRIP, operating cash flows, the secured credit facility and other borrowings. In addition, we require resources to make certain payments to our Advisor and our Dealer Manager, which, during our Offering, include payments to our Advisor and its affiliates for reimbursement of other organization and offering expenses and other costs incurred on our behalf, and payments to our Dealer Manager and its affiliates for selling commissions, dealer manager fees, distribution and servicing fees, and offering expenses.
30
Generally, cash needs for items other than acquisitions of real estate and real estate-related investments are met from operations, borrowings, and the net proceeds of our Offering. However, there may be a delay between the sale of shares of our common stock and our investments in real estate, which could result in a delay in the benefits to our stockholders, if any, of returns generated from our investment operations.
Our Advisor evaluates potential additional investments and engages in negotiations with real estate sellers, developers, brokers, investment managers, lenders and others on our behalf. Until we invest all of the proceeds of our Offering in properties and real estate-related investments, we may invest in short-term, highly liquid or other authorized investments. Such short-term investments will not earn significant returns, and we cannot predict how long it will take to fully invest the proceeds in properties and real estate-related investments. The number of properties we acquire and other investments we make will depend upon the number of shares sold in our Offering and the resulting amount of net proceeds available for investment.
When we acquire a property, our Advisor prepares a capital plan that contemplates the estimated capital needs of that investment. In addition to operating expenses, capital needs may also include costs of refurbishment, tenant improvements or other major capital expenditures. The capital plan also sets forth the anticipated sources of the necessary capital, which may include a line of credit or other loans established with respect to the investment, operating cash generated by the investment, additional equity investments from us or joint venture partners or, when necessary, capital reserves. Any capital reserves would be established from the net proceeds of our Offering, proceeds from sales of other investments, operating cash generated by other investments or other cash on hand. In some cases, a lender may require us to establish capital reserves for a particular investment. The capital plan for each investment will be adjusted through ongoing, regular reviews of our portfolio or as necessary to respond to unanticipated additional capital needs.
Short-term Liquidity and Capital Resources
On a short-term basis, our principal demands for funds will be for the acquisition of real estate and real estate-related notes and investments and payments of tenant improvements, acquisition related costs, operating expenses, distributions to and repurchases from stockholders, and interest and principal payments on current and future debt financings. We expect to meet our short-term liquidity requirements through net cash flows provided by operations, net proceeds from our Offering, borrowings on the secured credit facility, as well as secured and unsecured borrowings from banks and other lenders to finance our expected future acquisitions.
Long-term Liquidity and Capital Resources
On a long-term basis, our principal demands for funds will be for the acquisition of real estate and real estate-related notes and investments and payments of tenant improvements, acquisition related costs, operating expenses, distributions to and repurchases from stockholders, and interest and principal payments on current and future indebtedness. We expect to meet our long-term liquidity requirements through proceeds from cash flow from operations, borrowings on the secured credit facility, proceeds from secured or unsecured borrowings from banks or other lenders, proceeds from our Offering and funds equal to amounts reinvested in the DRIP.
We expect that substantially all cash flows from operations will be used to pay distributions to our stockholders after certain capital expenditures; however, we have used, and may continue to use other sources to fund distributions, as necessary, such as, proceeds from our Offering, borrowings on the secured credit facility and/or future borrowings on unencumbered assets. To the extent cash flows from operations are lower due to fewer properties being acquired or lower-than-expected returns on the properties held, distributions paid to stockholders may be lower. We expect that substantially all net cash flows from our Offering or debt financings will be used to fund acquisitions, certain capital expenditures identified at acquisition, repayments of outstanding debt or distributions to our stockholders in excess of cash flows from operations.
Capital Expenditures
We will require approximately $11.5 million in expenditures for capital improvements over the next 12 months. We cannot provide assurances, however, that actual expenditures will not exceed these estimated expenditure levels. As of March 31, 2018, we had $7.9 million of restricted cash in escrow reserve accounts for such capital expenditures. In addition, as of March 31, 2018, we had approximately $76.7 million in cash and cash equivalents. For the three months ended March 31, 2018, we incurred capital expenditures of $5.8 million that primarily related to two healthcare real estate investments.
Credit Facility
As of March 31, 2018, the maximum commitments available under the secured credit facility were $425,000,000, consisting of a $325,000,000 revolving line of credit, with a maturity date of December 22, 2018, subject to our Operating Partnership's right to two, 12-month extension periods, and a $100,000,000 term loan, with a maturity date of December 22, 2019, subject to our Operating Partnership's right to one, 12-month extension period.
The proceeds of loans made under the secured credit facility may be used to finance the acquisition of real estate investments, for tenant improvements and leasing commissions with respect to real estate, for repayment of indebtedness, for
31
capital expenditures with respect to real estate and for general corporate and working capital purposes. The secured credit facility can be increased to $550,000,000, subject to certain conditions. See Note 8—"Notes Payable and Secured Credit Facility" to the condensed consolidated financial statements that are part of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
As of March 31, 2018, we had a total pool availability under the secured credit facility of $427,371,000; however, the maximum commitment thereunder was $425,000,000. As of March 31, 2018, we had an aggregate outstanding principal balance of $250,000,000, and $175,000,000 remained available to be drawn on the secured credit facility.
On April 27, 2018, the Operating Partnership and certain of our subsidiaries entered into an amended and restated credit agreement related to our secured credit facility. See Note 17—"Subsequent Events" to the condensed consolidated financial statements that are a part of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Financing Activities
• | Net cash provided by financing activities decreased primarily due to a decrease in proceeds from the secured credit facility of $90.0 million, a decrease in proceeds from the issuance of common stock of $35.9 million, a decrease in proceeds from notes payable of $25.0 million, an increase in repurchases of our common stock of $6.3 million, an increase in distributions to our stockholders of $3.4 million, offset by a decrease in payments on the secured credit facility of $30.0 million, a decrease in the payment of offering costs on our common stock of $3.0 million and a decrease in the payment of deferred financing costs of $0.5 million. |
Distributions
The amount of distributions payable to our stockholders is determined by our board of directors and is dependent on a number of factors, including our funds available for distribution, financial condition, capital expenditure requirements and the annual distribution requirements needed to maintain our status as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Our board of directors must authorize each distribution and may, in the future, authorize lower amounts of distributions or not authorize additional distributions and, therefore, distribution payments are not guaranteed. Our Advisor may also defer, suspend and/or waive fees and expense reimbursements if we have not generated sufficient cash flow from our operations and other sources to fund distributions. Additionally, our organizational documents permit us to pay distributions from unlimited amounts of any source, and we may use sources other than operating cash flows to fund distributions, including proceeds from our Offerings, which may reduce the amount of capital we ultimately invest in properties or other permitted investments.
32
We have funded distributions with operating cash flows from our properties and proceeds raised in our Offerings. To the extent that we do not have taxable income, distributions paid will be considered a return of capital to stockholders.

Total distributions declared but not paid on Class A shares, Class I shares and Class T shares as of March 31, 2018 were approximately $6.8 million for common stockholders. These distributions were paid on April 2, 2018.
For the three months ended March 31, 2018, we declared and paid distributions of approximately $19.3 million to Class A stockholders, Class I stockholders and Class T stockholders, including shares issued pursuant to the DRIP, as compared to FFO (as defined below) for the three months ended March 31, 2018 of approximately $21.2 million, which covered 100% of our distributions paid during such period. The payment of distributions from sources other than FFO may reduce the amount of proceeds available for investment and operations or cause us to incur additional interest expense as a result of borrowed funds.
For a discussion of distributions paid subsequent to March 31, 2018, see Note 17—"Subsequent Events" to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Contractual Obligations
As of March 31, 2018, we had approximately $718.1 million of principal debt outstanding, of which $468.1 million related to notes payable and $250.0 million related to the secured credit facility. See Note 8—"Notes Payable and Secured Credit Facility" to the condensed consolidated financial statements that are a part of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for certain terms of the debt outstanding.

Related-Party Transactions and Arrangements
We have entered into agreements with our Advisor and its affiliates whereby we agree to pay certain fees to, or reimburse certain expenses of, our Advisor or its affiliates for acquisition fees and expenses, organization and offering expenses, asset and property management fees and reimbursement of operating costs. Refer to Note 9—"Related-Party Transactions and Arrangements" to our condensed consolidated financial statements that are a part of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a detailed discussion of the various related-party transactions and agreements.
Funds from Operations and Modified Funds from Operations
One of our objectives is to provide cash distributions to our stockholders from cash generated by our operations. The purchase of real estate assets and real estate-related investments, and the corresponding expenses associated with that process, is a key operational feature of our business plan in order to generate cash from operations. Due to certain unique operating characteristics of real estate companies, the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, an industry trade group, has promulgated a measure known as funds from operations, or FFO, which we believe is an appropriate supplemental measure to reflect the operating performance of a REIT. The use of FFO is recommended by the REIT industry as a supplemental performance measure. FFO is not equivalent to our net income as determined under GAAP.
We define FFO, consistent with NAREIT’s definition, as net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property and asset impairment write-downs, plus depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures will be calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis.
We, along with others in the real estate industry, consider FFO to be an appropriate supplemental measure of a REIT’s operating performance because it is based on a net income analysis of property portfolio performance that excludes non-cash items such as depreciation and amortization and asset impairment write-downs, which we believe provides a more complete understanding of our performance to investors and to our management, and when compared year over year, reflects the impact on our operations from trends in occupancy.
Historical accounting convention (in accordance with GAAP) for real estate assets requires companies to report their investment in real estate at its carrying value, which consists of capitalizing the cost of acquisitions, development, construction, improvements and significant replacements, less depreciation and amortization and asset impairment write-downs, if any, which is not necessarily equivalent to the fair market value of their investment in real estate assets.
The historical accounting convention requires straight-line depreciation of buildings and improvements, which implies that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time, which could be the case if such assets are not adequately maintained or repaired and renovated as required by relevant circumstances and/or as requested or required by lessees for operational purposes in order to maintain the value disclosed. We believe that, since the fair value of real estate assets historically rises and falls with market conditions including, but not limited to, inflation, interest rates, the business cycle, unemployment and consumer spending, presentations of operating results for a REIT using historical accounting for depreciation could be less informative.
In addition, we believe it is appropriate to disregard asset impairment write-downs as they are a non-cash adjustment to recognize losses on prospective sales of real estate assets. Since losses from sales of real estate assets are excluded from FFO, we believe it is appropriate that asset impairment write-downs in advancement of realization of losses should be excluded. Impairment write-downs are based on negative market fluctuations and underlying assessments of general market conditions, which are independent of our operating performance, including, but not limited to, a significant adverse change in the financial condition of our tenants, changes in supply and demand for similar or competing properties, changes in tax, real estate, environmental and zoning law, which can change over time. When indicators of potential impairment suggest that the carrying
34
value of real estate and related assets may not be recoverable, we assess the recoverability by estimating whether we will recover the carrying value of the asset through undiscounted future cash flows and eventual disposition (including, but not limited to, net rental and lease revenues, net proceeds on the sale of property and any other ancillary cash flows at a property or group level under GAAP). If based on this analysis, we do not believe that we will be able to recover the carrying value of the real estate asset, we will record an impairment write-down to the extent that the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value of the real estate asset. Testing for indicators of impairment is a continuous process and is analyzed on a quarterly basis. Investors should note, however, that determinations of whether impairment charges have been incurred are based partly on anticipated operating performance, because estimated undiscounted future cash flows from a property, including estimated future net rental and lease revenues, net proceeds on the sale of the property, and certain other ancillary cash flows, are taken into account in determining whether an impairment charge has been incurred. While impairment charges are excluded from the calculation of FFO as described above, investors are cautioned that due to the fact that impairments are based on estimated future undiscounted cash flows and that we intend to have a relatively limited term of our operations, it could be difficult to recover any impairment charges through the eventual sale of the property. No impairment losses have been recorded to date.
In developing estimates of expected future cash flow, we make certain assumptions regarding future market rental income amounts subsequent to the expiration of current lease arrangements, property operating expenses, terminal capitalization and discount rates, the expected number of months it takes to re-lease the property, required tenant improvements and the number of years the property will be held for investment. The use of alternative assumptions in the future cash flow analysis could result in a different determination of the property’s future cash flows and a different conclusion regarding the existence of an asset impairment, the extent of such loss, if any, as well as the carrying value of the real estate asset.
Publicly registered, non-listed REITs, such as us, typically have a significant amount of acquisition activity and are substantially more dynamic during their initial years of investment and operations. While other start up entities may also experience significant acquisition activity during their initial years, we believe that publicly registered, non-listed REITs are unique in that they have a limited life with targeted exit strategies within a relatively limited time frame after the acquisition activity ceases. We will use the proceeds raised in our offering to acquire real estate assets and real estate-related investments, and we intend to begin the process of achieving a liquidity event (i.e., listing of our shares of common stock on a national securities exchange, a merger or sale, the sale of all or substantially all of our assets, or another similar transaction) within five to seven years after the completion of our offering stage, which is generally comparable to other publicly registered, non-listed REITs. Thus, we do not intend to continuously purchase real estate assets and intend to have a limited life. Due to these factors and other unique features of publicly registered, non-listed REITS, the Institute for Portfolio Alternatives (formerly known as the Investment Program Association), or the IPA, an industry trade group, has standardized a measure known as modified funds from operations, or MFFO, which we believe to be another appropriate supplemental measure to reflect the operating performance of a publicly registered, non-listed REIT. MFFO is a metric used by management to evaluate sustainable performance and dividend policy. MFFO is not equivalent to our net income as determined under GAAP.
We define MFFO, a non-GAAP measure, consistent with the IPA’s definition: FFO further adjusted for the following items included in the determination of GAAP net income; acquisition fees and expenses; amounts related to straight-line rental income and amortization of above and below market intangible lease assets and liabilities; accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums on debt investments; mark-to-market adjustments included in net income; nonrecurring gains or losses included in net income from the extinguishment or sale of debt, hedges, foreign exchange, derivatives or securities holdings where trading of such holdings is not a fundamental attribute of the business plan, unrealized gains or losses resulting from consolidation from, or deconsolidation to, equity accounting, adjustments related to contingent purchase price obligations where such adjustments have been included in the derivation of GAAP net income, and after adjustments for a consolidated and unconsolidated partnership and joint ventures, with such adjustments calculated to reflect MFFO on the same basis. Our MFFO calculation complies with the IPA’s Practice Guideline, described above. In calculating MFFO, we exclude amortization of above and below-market leases, amounts related to straight-line rents (which are adjusted in order to reflect such payments from a GAAP accrual basis to closer to an expected to be received cash basis of disclosing the rent and lease payment) and ineffectiveness of interest rate swaps. The other adjustments included in the IPA’s guidelines are not applicable to us.
Since MFFO excludes acquisition fees and expenses, it should not be construed as a historic performance measure. Acquisition fees and expenses are paid in cash by us, and we have not set aside or put into escrow any specific amount of proceeds from our offerings to be used to fund acquisition fees and expenses. Acquisition fees and expenses include payments to our Advisor or its affiliates and third parties. Such fees and expenses will not be reimbursed by our Advisor or its affiliates and third parties, and therefore if there are no further proceeds from the sale of shares of our common stock to fund future acquisition fees and expenses, such fees and expenses will need to be paid from either additional debt, operational earnings or cash flows, net proceeds from the sale of properties, or from ancillary cash flows. As a result, the amount of proceeds available for investment and operations would be reduced, or we may incur additional interest expense as a result of borrowed funds. Nevertheless, our Advisor or its affiliates will not accrue any claim on our assets if acquisition fees and expenses are not paid from the proceeds of our offerings. Under GAAP, acquisition fees and expenses related to the acquisition of properties determined to be business combinations are expensed as incurred, including investment transactions that are no longer under
35
consideration, and are included in acquisition related expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income and acquisition fees and expenses associated with transactions determined to be an asset acquisition are capitalized.
All paid and accrued acquisition fees and expenses have negative effects on returns to investors, the potential for future distributions, and cash flows generated by us, unless earnings from operations or net sales proceeds from the disposition of other properties are generated to cover the purchase price of the real estate asset, these fees and expenses and other costs related to such property. In addition, MFFO may not be an indicator of our operating performance, especially during periods in which properties are being acquired.
In addition, certain contemplated non-cash fair value and other non-cash adjustments are considered operating non-cash adjustments to net income in determining cash flows from operations in accordance with GAAP.
We use MFFO and the adjustments used to calculate it in order to evaluate our performance against other publicly registered, non-listed REITs, which intend to have limited lives with short and defined acquisition periods and targeted exit strategies shortly thereafter. As noted above, MFFO may not be a useful measure of the impact of long-term operating performance if we do not continue to operate in this manner. We believe that our use of MFFO and the adjustments used to calculate it allow us to present our performance in a manner that reflects certain characteristics that are unique to publicly registered, non-listed REITs, such as their limited life, limited and defined acquisition period and targeted exit strategy, and hence the use of such measures may be useful to investors. For example, acquisition fees and expenses are intended to be funded from the proceeds of our offering and other financing sources and not from operations. By excluding acquisition fees and expenses, the use of MFFO provides information consistent with management’s analysis of the operating performance of its real estate assets. Additionally, fair value adjustments, which are based on the impact of current market fluctuations and underlying assessments of general market conditions, but can also result from operational factors such as rental and occupancy rates, may not be directly related or attributable to our current operating performance. By excluding such charges that may reflect anticipated and unrealized gains or losses, we believe MFFO provides useful supplemental information.
Presentation of this information is intended to assist management and investors in comparing the operating performance of different REITs, although it should be noted that not all REITs calculate FFO and MFFO the same way, so comparisons with other REITs may not be meaningful. Furthermore, FFO and MFFO are not necessarily indicative of cash flow available to fund cash needs and should not be considered as an alternative to net income as an indication of our performance, as an indication of our liquidity, or indicative of funds available for our cash needs, including our ability to make distributions to our stockholders. FFO and MFFO should be reviewed in conjunction with other measurements as an indication of our performance. MFFO has limitations as a performance measure. However, it may be useful in assisting management and investors in assessing the sustainability of operating performance in future operating periods, and in particular, after the offering and acquisition stages are complete and net asset value is disclosed. MFFO is not a useful measure in evaluating net asset value since impairment write-downs are taken into account in determining net asset value but not in determining MFFO.
FFO and MFFO, as described above, should not be construed to be more relevant or accurate than the current GAAP methodology in calculating net income or in its applicability in evaluating our operational performance. The method used to evaluate the value and performance of real estate under GAAP should be construed as a more relevant measure of operating performance and considered more prominently than the non-GAAP FFO and MFFO measures and the adjustments to GAAP in calculating FFO and MFFO. MFFO has not been scrutinized to the level of other similar non-GAAP performance measures by the SEC or any other regulatory body.

(1) | Under GAAP, certain intangibles are accounted for at cost and reviewed at least annually for impairment, and certain intangibles are assumed to diminish predictably in value over time and are amortized, similar to depreciation and amortization of real estate-related assets that are excluded from FFO. However, because real estate values and market lease rates historically rise or fall with market conditions, management believes that by excluding charges related to amortization of these intangibles, MFFO provides useful supplemental information on the performance of the real estate. |
(2) | Under GAAP, rental revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related lease (including rent holidays if applicable). This may result in income recognition that is significantly different than the underlying contract terms. By adjusting for the change in deferred rent receivables, MFFO may provide useful supplemental information on the realized economic impact of lease terms, providing insight on the expected contractual cash flows of such lease terms, and aligns with our analysis of operating performance. |
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Market risk includes risks that arise from changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, equity prices and other market changes that affect market sensitive instruments. In pursuing our business plan, the primary market risk to which we are exposed is interest rate risk.
We have obtained variable rate debt financing to fund certain property acquisitions, and we are exposed to changes in the one-month LIBOR. Our objectives in managing interest rate risk seek to limit the impact of interest rate changes on operations and cash flows, and to lower overall borrowing costs. To achieve these objectives, we will borrow primarily at interest rates with the lowest margins available and, in some cases, with the ability to convert variable interest rates to fixed rates.
We have entered, and may continue to enter, into derivative financial instruments, such as interest rate swaps, in order to mitigate our interest rate risk on a given variable rate financial instrument. To the extent we do, we are exposed to credit risk and market risk. Credit risk is the failure of the counterparty to perform under the terms of the derivative contract. When the fair value of a derivative contract is positive, the counterparty owes us, which creates credit risk for us. When the fair value of a derivative contract is negative, we owe the counterparty and, therefore, it does not possess credit risk. Market risk is the adverse effect on the value of a financial instrument that results from a change in interest rates. We manage the market risk associated with interest rate contracts by establishing and monitoring parameters that limit the types and degree of market risk that may be undertaken. We have not entered, and do not intend to enter, into derivative or interest rate transactions for speculative purposes. We may also enter into rate-lock arrangements to lock interest rates on future borrowings.
37
In addition to changes in interest rates, the value of our future investments will be subject to fluctuations based on changes in local and regional economic conditions and changes in the creditworthiness of tenants, which may affect our ability to refinance our debt, if necessary.
The following table summarizes our principal debt outstanding as of March 31, 2018 (amounts in thousands):
March 31, 2018 | |||
Notes payable: | |||
Fixed rate notes payable | $ | 220,414 | |
Variable rate notes payable fixed through interest rate swaps | 247,636 | ||
Total notes payable | 468,050 | ||
Secured credit facility: | |||
Variable rate secured credit facility fixed through interest rate swaps | 100,000 | ||
Variable rate secured credit facility | 150,000 | ||
Total secured credit facility | 250,000 | ||
Total principal debt outstanding (1) | $ | 718,050 |
(1) | As of March 31, 2018, the weighted average interest rate on our total debt outstanding was 4.22%. |
As of March 31, 2018, $150.0 million of the $718.1 million total principal debt outstanding was subject to variable interest rates with a weighted average interest rate of 3.93% per annum. As of March 31, 2018, an increase of 50 basis points in the market rates of interest would have resulted in a change in interest expense of approximately $0.8 million per year.
As of March 31, 2018, we had 13 interest rate swap agreements outstanding, which mature on various dates from December 2020 to November 2022. As of March 31, 2018, the aggregate settlement asset value was $8.5 million. The settlement value of these interest rate swap agreements are dependent upon existing market interest rates and swap spreads. As of March 31, 2018, an increase of 50 basis points in the market rates of interest would have resulted in a settlement asset value of the interest rate swaps of $14.2 million.
We do not have any foreign operations and thus we are not exposed to foreign currency fluctuations.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to us, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, we recognize that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, as ours are designed to do, and we necessarily were required to apply our judgment in evaluating whether the benefits of the controls and procedures that we adopt outweigh their costs.
As required by Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) of the Exchange Act, we conducted an evaluation as of March 31, 2018 under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures, as of March 31, 2018, were effective at a reasonable assurance level.
(b) Changes in internal control over financial reporting. There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2018, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
38
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
We are not aware of any material pending legal proceedings to which we are a party or to which our properties are the subject.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
There have been no material changes from the risk factors set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, as filed with the SEC on March 21, 2018, except as noted below.
Distributions paid from sources other than our cash flows from operations, including from the proceeds of this Offering, will result in us having fewer funds available for the acquisition of properties and real estate-related investments, which may adversely affect our ability to fund future distributions with cash flows from operations and may adversely affect a stockholder's overall return.
We have paid, and may continue to pay, distributions from sources other than from our cash flows from operations. For the three months ended March 31, 2018, our cash flows provided by operations of approximately $19.3 million, covered 100% of our distributions paid (total distributions were approximately $19.3 million, of which $9.4 million was cash and $9.9 million was reinvested in shares of our common stock pursuant to our DRIP) during such period. For the year ended December 31, 2017, our cash flows provided by operations of approximately $51.8 million was a shortfall of approximately $9.5 million, or 15.5%, of our distributions paid (total distributions were approximately $61.3 million, of which $29.0 million was cash and $32.3 million was reinvested in shares of our common stock pursuant to our DRIP) during such period and such shortfall was paid from proceeds from our DRIP Offering. Until we acquire additional properties or real estate-related investments, we may not generate sufficient cash flows from operations to pay distributions. Our inability to acquire additional properties or real estate-related investments may result in a lower return on a stockholder's investment than he or she may expect.
We may pay, and have no limits on the amounts we may pay, distributions from any source, such as from borrowings, the sale of assets, the sale of additional securities, advances from our Advisor, our Advisor’s deferral, suspension and/or waiver of its fees and expense reimbursements and Offering proceeds. Funding distributions from borrowings could restrict the amount we can borrow for investments, which may affect our profitability. Funding distributions with the sale of assets may affect our ability to generate cash flows. Funding distributions from the sale of additional securities could dilute stockholders' interest in us if we sell shares of our common stock to third party investors. Funding distributions from the proceeds of our Offering will result in us having less funds available for acquiring properties or real estate-related investments. Our inability to acquire additional properties or real estate-related investments may have a negative effect on our ability to generate sufficient cash flow from operations from which to pay distributions. As a result, the return investors may realize on their investment may be reduced and investors who invest in us before we generate significant cash flow may realize a lower rate of return than later investors. Payment of distributions from any of the aforementioned sources could restrict our ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations, affect our profitability and/or affect the distributions payable upon a liquidity event, any or all of which may have an adverse effect on an investment in us.
A high concentration of our properties in a particular geographic area, or of tenants in a similar industry, would magnify the effects of downturns in that geographic area or industry.
As of March 31, 2018, we owned 54 real estate investments, located in 38 metropolitan statistical areas, or MSAs, and one micropolitan statistical area, of which two MSAs accounted for 10.0% or more of our contractual rental revenue for the year ended March 31, 2018. Real estate investments located in the Atlanta-Sandy Springs-Roswell, Georgia MSA and the Oklahoma City, Oklahoma MSA accounted for 16.1% and 10.1%, respectively, of our contractual rental revenue for the year ended March 31, 2018. Accordingly, there is a geographic concentration of risk subject to fluctuations in each MSA’s economy. Geographic concentration of our properties exposes us to economic downturns in the areas where our properties are located. A regional or local recession in any of these areas could adversely affect our ability to generate or increase operating revenues, attract new tenants or dispose of unproductive properties. Similarly, if tenants of our properties become concentrated in a certain industry or industries, any adverse effect to that industry generally would have a disproportionately adverse effect on our portfolio.
Our investments in properties where the underlying tenant has a below investment grade credit rating, as determined by major credit rating agencies, or unrated tenants, may have a greater risk of default and therefore may have an adverse impact on our returns on that asset and our operating results.
As of March 31, 2018, approximately 14.8% of our tenants had an investment grade credit rating from a major ratings agency, 22.3% of our tenants were rated but did not have an investment grade credit rating from a major ratings agency and 62.9% of our tenants are not rated. Approximately 18.0% of our non-rated tenants were affiliates of companies having an
39
investment grade credit rating. Our investments with tenants that do not have an investment grade credit rating from a major ratings agency or were not rated and are not affiliated with companies having an investment grade credit rating may have a greater risk of default and bankruptcy than investments in properties leased exclusively to investment grade tenants. When we invest in properties where the tenant does not have a publicly available credit rating, we use certain credit assessment tools as well as rely on our own estimates of the tenant’s credit rating which includes but not limited to reviewing the tenant’s financial information (i.e., financial ratios, net worth, revenue, cash flows, leverage and liquidity) and monitoring local market conditions. If our lender or a credit rating agency disagrees with our ratings estimates, or our ratings estimates are otherwise inaccurate, we may not be able to obtain our desired level of leverage or our financing costs may exceed those that we projected. This outcome could have an adverse impact on our returns on that asset and hence our operating results.
The U.S. Department of Labor has issued a final regulation revising the definition of “fiduciary” and the scope of “investment advice” under ERISA, which may have a negative impact on our ability to raise capital.
On April 8, 2016, the U.S. Department of Labor, or DOL, issued a final regulation relating to the definition of a fiduciary under ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code. The final regulation broadens the definition of fiduciary by expanding the range of activities that would be considered to be fiduciary investment advice under ERISA and is accompanied by new and revised prohibited transaction exemptions relating to investments by employee benefit plans subject to Title I of ERISA or retirement plans or accounts subject to Section 4975 of the Code (including IRAs). Under the new regulation, a person is a fiduciary if the person receives compensation for providing advice (a “recommendation” or “communication that would reasonably be viewed as a suggestion that the recipient engage in or refrain from taking a particular course of action”) with the understanding it is based on the particular needs of the person being advised or that it is directed to a specific plan sponsor, plan participant, or IRA owner. Such decisions can include, but are not limited to, what assets to purchase or sell and whether to rollover from an employment-based plan to an IRA. The fiduciary can be a broker, registered investment adviser or other type of adviser, some of which are subject to federal securities laws and some of which are not. The final regulation and the related exemptions were expected to become applicable for investment transactions on and after April 10, 2017, but generally should not apply to purchases of our shares before the final regulation becomes applicable. However, on February 3, 2017, the President asked for additional review of this regulation. In response, on March 2, 2017, the DOL published a notice seeking public comments on, among other things, a proposal to adopt a 60-day delay of the April 10 applicability date of the final regulation. On April 7, 2017, the DOL published a final rule extending the applicability date of the final regulation to June 9, 2017. However, certain requirements and exemptions under the regulation are implemented through a phased-in approach, and on November 27, 2017, the DOL further delayed the implementation of certain requirements and exemptions until July 1, 2019. On March 15, 2018, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit issued a decision vacating the final regulation in its entirety, including the expanded definition of “investment advice fiduciary” and the associated exemptions. On May 7, 2018, the DOL announced a new temporary enforcement policy which provides that the DOL “will not pursue prohibited transactions claims against investment advice fiduciaries who are working diligently and in good faith to comply with the impartial conduct standards for transactions that would have been exempted” under the final regulation, although institutions who prefer to rely upon the new compliance structures under the final regulation are permitted to do so. Therefore, the DOL has not withdrawn the final regulation at this time as a result of the Fifth Circuit’s decision, and it is unclear what the DOL will do in the future with respect to the final regulation - the DOL could, among other things, seek review by the U.S. Supreme Court or further revise or withdraw the final regulation.
On April 18, 2018, the SEC issued proposed rules and interpretations of existing rules designed to enhance the quality and transparency of investors’ relationships with investment advisers and broker-dealers while preserving access to a variety of types of advice relationships and investment products. There is no guarantee that the SEC will issue final rules in this regard or that such final rules, if adopted, will not be drastically different from the proposed rules.
The final regulation, the accompanying exemptions and the SEC’s proposed rules are complex and may be subject to further revision or withdrawal. Plan fiduciaries and the beneficial owners of IRAs are urged to consult with their own advisors regarding the impact of the final regulations and the SEC’s proposed rules on purchasing and holding interests in our company. The final regulation and the SEC’s proposed rules could have negative implications on our ability to raise capital from potential investors, including those investing through IRAs.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
During the three months ended March 31, 2018, we did not sell any equity securities that were not registered or otherwise exempt under the Securities Act.
40
Use of Public Offering Proceeds
We commenced our Initial Offering of up to $2,350,000,000 of shares of our common stock consisting of $2,250,000,000 of shares in our primary offering and up to $100,000,000 of shares pursuant to our DRIP on May 29, 2014. We ceased offering shares of common stock pursuant to our Initial Offering on November 24, 2017.
On November 27, 2017, we began offering up to $1,000,000,000 in shares of Class A common stock, Class I common stock, and Class T common stock in the Offering pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-11, or the Follow-On Registration Statement. Beginning on March 15, 2018, we were offering up to $1,000,000,000 in shares of Class A common stock, Class I common stock and Class T2 common stock pursuant to the Follow-On Registration Statement.
On December 1, 2017, we commenced our DRIP Offering of up to $100,000,000 in shares of Class A common stock, Class I common stock and Class T common stock pursuant to the DRIP Registration Statement. We amended the DRIP Registration Statement to include Class A common stock, Class T common stock, Class I common stock and Class T2 common stock on December 6, 2017.
As of March 31, 2018, we had issued approximately 131.2 million shares of our Class A, Class I, Class T and Class T2 common stock in our Offerings for gross proceeds of approximately $1,281.7 million, of which we paid $93.6 million in selling commissions and dealer manager fees, approximately $24.4 million in organization and offering costs and approximately $33.8 million in acquisition fees to our Advisor or its affiliates. We have excluded the distribution and servicing fee from the above information, as we pay the distribution and servicing fee from cash flows provided by operations or, if our cash flow from operations is not sufficient to pay the distribution and servicing fee, from borrowings in anticipation of future cash flow.
With the net offering proceeds and associated borrowings, we acquired $1.7 billion in real estate investments as of March 31, 2018. In addition, we invested $47.8 million in expenditures for capital improvements related to certain real estate investments.
As of March 31, 2018, approximately $0.2 million remained payable to our Dealer Manager and our Advisor or its affiliates for costs related to our Offerings, excluding distribution and servicing fees.
Share Repurchase Program
Our share repurchase program permits stockholders to sell their shares back to us after they have held them for at least one year, subject to certain conditions and limitations. We will limit the number of shares repurchased during any calendar year to 5.0% of the number of shares of our common stock outstanding on December 31st of the previous calendar year. In addition, the share repurchase program provides that all repurchases during any calendar year, including those upon death or a qualifying disability of a stockholder, are limited to those that can be funded with proceeds raised from the DRIP Offering during the prior calendar year and other operating funds, if any, as the board of directors, in its sole discretion, may reserve for this purpose. Our board of directors has the right, in its sole discretion, to waive the one-year holding period requirement in the event of the death or qualifying disability of a stockholder, or other involuntary exigent circumstances, such as bankruptcy, or a mandatory distribution requirement under a stockholder's IRA.
The Third Amended and Restated Share Repurchase Program became effective on February 20, 2018, the date that Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Follow-On Registration Statement was declared effective by the SEC. The purpose of the Third Amended and Restated Share Repurchase Program was to incorporate Class T2 shares. Pursuant to the Third Amended and Restated Share Repurchase Program, the purchase price for shares repurchased under our share repurchase program is 100.0% of the most recent estimated value of the Class A common stock, Class I common stock, Class T common stock, or Class T2 common stock, as applicable (in each case, as adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations, splits, recapitalizations and the like with respect to our common stock). Our board of directors reserves the right, in its sole discretion, at any time and from time to time, to waive the one-year holding period requirement in the event of the death or Qualifying Disability of a stockholder, other involuntary exigent circumstances such as bankruptcy, or a mandatory distribution requirement under a stockholder’s IRA.
During the three months ended March 31, 2018, we fulfilled the following repurchase requests pursuant to our share repurchase program:
