WASHINGTON REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2021
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1: NATURE OF BUSINESS
Washington Real Estate Investment Trust (“WashREIT”), a Maryland real estate investment trust, is a self-administered equity real estate investment trust, successor to a trust organized in 1960. Our business primarily consists of the ownership of apartment communities in the greater Washington, DC metro and Southeastern regions. Within these notes to the financial statements, we refer to the three months ended September 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020 as the “2021 Quarter” and the “2020 Quarter,” respectively, and the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020 as the “2021 Period” and the “2020 Period,” respectively. During the 2021 Period, we executed the sale of twelve office properties and the sale of eight retail properties in two separate transactions (see note 3). The sold office and retail properties are classified as discontinued operations. We have one remaining office property, Watergate 600, that does not meet the qualitative or quantitative criteria for a reportable segment (see note 10). The dispositions of the office and retail properties are part of a strategic shift away from the commercial sector to the residential sector which simplifies our portfolio to one reportable segment (residential) (the “strategic transformation”).
Federal Income Taxes
We believe that we qualify as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under Sections 856-860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and intend to continue to qualify as such. To maintain our status as a REIT, we are, among other things, required to distribute 90% of our REIT taxable income (determined before the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gains to our shareholders) on an annual basis. When selling a property, we generally have the option of (a) reinvesting the sales proceeds of property sold in a way that allows us to defer recognition of some or all taxable gain realized on the sale, (b) distributing gains to the shareholders with no tax to us or (c) treating net long-term capital gains as having been distributed to our shareholders, paying the tax on the gain deemed distributed and allocating the tax paid as a credit to our shareholders. The net taxable gains on the sales of our office and retail properties were distributed to shareholders through quarterly dividends in 2021.
Generally, and subject to our ongoing qualification as a REIT, no provisions for income taxes are necessary except for taxes on undistributed taxable income and taxes on the income generated by our taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRSs”). Our TRSs are subject to corporate federal and state income tax on their taxable income at regular statutory rates. As of both September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, our TRSs had a deferred tax asset of $ 1.4 million that was fully reserved.
NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF PRESENTATIONS
Significant Accounting Policies
We have prepared our consolidated financial statements using the accounting policies described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.
Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the consolidated accounts of WashREIT, our majority-owned subsidiaries and entities in which WashREIT has a controlling interest. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
We have prepared the accompanying unaudited financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although we believe that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In addition, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods presented have been included. These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.
12
Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations
We classify properties as held for sale when they meet the necessary criteria, which include: (a) senior management commits to a plan to sell the assets; (b) the assets are available for immediate sale in their present condition subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of such assets; (c) an active program to locate a buyer and other actions required to complete the plan to sell the assets has been initiated; (d) the sale of the assets is probable and transfer of the assets is expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year; (e) the assets are being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value; and (f) actions required to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn. Depreciation on these properties is discontinued at the time they are classified as held for sale, but operating revenues, operating expenses and interest expense continue to be recognized until the date of sale.
Revenues and expenses of properties that are either sold or classified as held for sale are presented as discontinued operations for all periods presented in the consolidated statements of operations if the dispositions represent a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on our operations and financial results. If the dispositions do not represent a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on our operations and financial results, then the revenues and expenses of the properties that are classified as sold or held for sale are presented as continuing operations in the consolidated statements of operations for all periods presented.
Lessee Accounting
For leases where we are the lessee, primarily our corporate office operating lease, we recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 842. The right-of-use asset and associated liability is equal to the present value of the minimum lease payments, applying our incremental borrowing rate. Our borrowing rate is computed based on observable borrowing rates taking into consideration our credit quality and adjusting to a secured borrowing rate for similar assets and term. As of September 30, 2021, our balance sheet included $ 4.6 million in right-of-use assets and liabilities.
Lease expense for the operating lease is recognized on a straight-line basis over the expected lease term and is included in “General and administrative expense.”
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash includes funds held in escrow for tenant security deposits.
Transformation Costs
Transformation costs include costs related to the strategic transformation, including consulting, advisory and termination benefits.
Use of Estimates in the Financial Statements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
NOTE 3: REAL ESTATE
Acquisitions
We acquired the following property during the 2021 Period (the “2021 acquisition”):
Acquisition Date Property Type # of homes (unaudited) Average Occupancy
(unaudited) Contract
Purchase Price
(in thousands)
August 10, 2021 The Oxford Residential 240 93.5 % $ 48,000

The results of operations from the acquired operating property are included in the consolidated statements of operations as of its acquisition date and are as follows (in thousands):
Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021
Real estate rental revenue $ 488
Net loss ( 349 )
We accounted for the 2021 acquisition as an asset acquisition. We measured the value of the acquired physical assets (land and building) and in-place leases (absorption costs) by allocating the total cost of the acquisition on a relative fair value basis .
The total cost of the 2021 acquisition was as follows (in thousands):
Contract purchase price $ 48,000
Capitalized acquisition costs 52
Total $ 48,052
We have recorded the total cost of the 2021 acquisition as follows (in thousands):
Land $ 4,798
Building 42,079
Absorption costs 1,175
Total $ 48,052
The weighted remaining average life for the absorption costs is 4 months.
Development/Redevelopment
We have properties under development/redevelopment and held for current or future development. As of September 30, 2021, we have invested $ 29.4 million, including the cost of acquired land, in a residential development adjacent to Riverside Apartments. In addition, in our residential segment, we continue to capitalize qualifying costs on several other projects with minor development activity necessary to ready each project for its intended use. We placed the remainder of the Trove development costs into service during the first quarter of 2021.
Properties Sold and Held for Sale
We intend to hold our properties for investment with a view to long-term appreciation, to engage in the business of acquiring, developing and owning our properties and to make occasional sales of properties that no longer meet our long-term strategy or return objectives and where market conditions for sale are favorable. The proceeds from the sales may be reinvested into other properties, used to fund development operations or to support other corporate needs or distributed to our shareholders. Depreciation on these properties is discontinued at the time they are classified as held for sale, but operating revenues, operating expenses and interest expense continue to be recognized until the date of sale.

In June 2021, we entered into a purchase and sale agreement with a single buyer to sell the Office Portfolio for a purchase price of $ 766.0 million. Upon execution of the purchase and sale agreement, the properties in the Office Portfolio met the criteria for classification as held for sale. We closed on the sale of the Office Portfolio on July 26, 2021, recognizing a loss on sale of real estate of $ 11.2 million.
In June 2021, we executed a letter of intent to sell the Retail Portfolio. During the 2021 Quarter, we executed a purchase and sale agreement for the sale of our remaining eight retail properties for a purchase price of $ 168.3 million and closed on the sale on September 22, 2021, recognizing a gain on real estate of $ 57.7 million.
The dispositions of the Office Portfolio and the Retail Portfolio represent a strategic shift that will have a major effect on our financial results and we have accordingly reported the Office Portfolio and Retail Portfolio as discontinued operations.
As of September 30, 2021, we assessed our properties for impairment and did no t recognize any impairment charges during the 2021 Quarter. We applied reasonable estimates and judgments in evaluating each of the properties as of September 30, 2021. Should external or internal circumstances change requiring the need to shorten holding periods or adjust future estimated cash flows from our properties, we could be required to record impairment charges in the future.

NOTE 4: UNSECURED LINE OF CREDIT PAYABLE
During the 2021 Quarter, we entered into an amended and restated credit agreement (“Credit Agreement”) which provides for a $ 700.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility (“Revolving Credit Facility”) and the continuation of an existing $ 250.0 million unsecured term loan (“2018 Term Loan”). The Revolving Credit Facility has a four-year term ending in August 2025, with two six-month extension options. The Credit Agreement has an accordion feature that allows us to increase the aggregate facility to $ 1.5 billion, subject to the lenders’ agreement to provide additional revolving loan commitments or term loans. As a result of the transaction, we recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of $ 0.2 million related to the write-off of unamortized loan origination costs. We incurred $ 4.8 million of additional loan origination costs which will be amortized as interest expense over the term of the Revolving Credit Facility.
The Revolving Credit Facility bears interest at a rate of either one month LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 0.70 % to 1.40 % or the base rate plus a margin ranging from 0.0 % to 0.40 % (in each case depending upon WashREIT’s credit rating). The base rate is the highest of the administrative agent’s prime rate, the federal funds rate plus 0.50 % and the LIBOR market index rate plus 1.0 %. In addition, the Revolving Credit Facility requires the payment of a facility fee ranging from 0.10 % to 0.30 % (depending on WashREIT’s credit rating) on the $ 700.0 million committed revolving loan capacity, without regard to usage. As of September 30, 2021, the interest rate on the Revolving Credit Facility is one month LIBOR plus 0.85 %, the one month LIBOR is 0.08 % and the facility fee is 0.20 %.
All outstanding advances for the Revolving Credit Facility are due and payable upon maturity in August 2025, unless extended pursuant to one or both of the two six-month extension options. Interest only payments are due and payable generally on a monthly basis.
The 2018 Term Loan increased and replaced the $ 150.0 million unsecured term loan, initially entered into on July 22, 2016 (“2016 Term Loan”), that was scheduled to mature in July 2023. The 2018 Term Loan is scheduled to mature in July 2023 and bears interest at a rate of either one month LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 0.85 % to 1.75 % or the base rate plus a margin ranging from 0.0 % to 0.75 % (in each case depending upon WashREIT’s credit rating). We used the $ 100.0 million of additional proceeds from the 2018 Term Loan primarily to repay outstanding borrowings on the Revolving Credit Facility.
On September 27, 2021, we prepaid a $ 150.0 million portion of the 2018 Term Loan using proceeds from the sale of the Office Portfolio and Retail Portfolio (see note 3). As a result of the prepayment, we recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of $ 0.3 million related to the write-off of unamortized loan origination costs. Simultaneous with the prepayment, we terminated five interest rate swap arrangements (see note 6). We currently expect to hold the remaining $ 100.0 million portion of the 2018 Term Loan until maturity.
The amount of the Revolving Credit Facility’s unsecured line of credit unused and available at September 30, 2021 is as follows (in thousands):
Committed capacity $ 700,000
Borrowings outstanding —
Unused and available $ 700,000
We executed borrowings and repayments on the Revolving Credit Facility during the 2021 Period as follows (in thousands):

Borrowings 108,000

NOTE 5: NOTES PAYABLE
In August 2021, we redeemed $ 300.0 million of our existing unsecured notes that were scheduled to mature in 2022. As a result of the prepayment, we recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of $ 12.3 million comprised of a prepayment penalty of $ 11.9 million and the write-off of unamortized loan origination costs of $ 0.4 million.

NOTE 6: DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
On July 22, 2016, we entered into two forward interest rate swap arrangements with notional amounts of $ 100.0 million and $ 50.0 million, respectively, to swap the floating interest rate under the $ 150.0 million 2016 Term Loan to an all-in fixed interest rate of 2.86 % starting on March 31, 2017 and extending until the scheduled maturity of the 2016 Term Loan on July 21, 2023.
On March 29, 2018, we entered into the $ 250.0 million 2018 Term Loan maturing on July 21, 2023, which increased and replaced the 2016 Term Loan. The interest rate swap arrangements that had effectively fixed the 2016 Term Loan then effectively fixed the interest rate on a $ 150.0 million portion of the 2018 Term Loan at 2.31 %. On March 29, 2018, we entered into four interest rate swap arrangements with a total notional amount of $ 100.0 million to effectively fix the interest rate on the remaining $ 100.0 million of the 2018 Term Loan at 3.71 %, that commenced on June 29, 2018 and extending until the maturity of the 2018 Term Loan on July 21, 2023. The $ 250.0 million 2018 Term Loan had an all-in fixed interest rate of 2.87 %.
In the second quarter of 2021 we determined that the hedged transactions for five interest rate swap arrangements with an aggregate notional value of $ 150.0 million were probable not to occur and that these interest swap arrangements were no longer effective cash flow hedges as of June 30, 2021 due to our intention to prepay a $ 150.0 million portion of the 2018 Term Loan. As a result, we recognized a loss of $ 5.8 million for the second quarter of 2021, which was recorded to Loss on interest rate derivatives on our condensed consolidated statements of operations. On September 27, 2021, we prepaid the $ 150.0 million portion of the 2018 Term Loan (see note 4). In connection with the prepayment, we terminated the five interest rate swap arrangements with an aggregate notional value of $ 150.0 million.
Our remaining interest rate swap arrangement with a notional amount of $ 100.0 million is recorded at fair value in accordance with GAAP, based on discounted cash flow methodologies and observable inputs. We record the effective portion of changes in fair value of the cash flow hedge in Other comprehensive income (loss). We assess the effectiveness of a cash flow hedge both at inception and on an ongoing basis. If a cash flow hedge is no longer expected to be effective, hedge accounting is discontinued. Hedge ineffectiveness of our cash flow hedges is recorded in earnings.
The fair values of the interest rate swaps as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, are as follows (in thousands):
Fair Value
Derivative Liabilities
Derivative Instrument Aggregate Notional Amount Effective Date Maturity Date September 30, 2021 December 31, 2020
Interest rate swaps $ 100,000 March 31, 2017 July 21, 2023 $ ( 1,689 ) $ ( 2,671 )

We record interest rate swaps on our consolidated balance sheets within Prepaid expenses and other assets when in a net asset position and within Accounts payable and other liabilities when in a net liability position. The net unrealized gains or losses on the effective swaps are recognized in Other comprehensive income (loss), as follows (in thousands):
Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30,
2021 2020 2021 2020
Unrealized gain (loss) on interest rate hedges $ 221 $ 1,774 $ 2,805 $ ( 34,582 )
Amounts reported in Accumulated other comprehensive loss related to effective cash flow hedges will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on our variable-rate debt. The gains or losses reclassified from Accumulated other comprehensive loss into interest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, were as follows (in thousands):
Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30,
2021 2020 2021 2020
Loss reclassified from Accumulated other comprehensive loss into interest expense $ 511 $ — $ 1,530 $ —
18
During the next twelve months, we estimate that an additional $ 3.1 million will be reclassified as an increase to interest expense.
We have agreements with each of our derivative counterparties that contain a provision whereby we could be declared in default on our derivative obligations if repayment of the underlying indebtedness is accelerated by the lender due to our default on the indebtedness. As of September 30, 2021, we did no t have any derivatives in an asset position and the fair value of the derivative liabilities, including accrued interest, was $ 1.7 million. As of September 30, 2021, we have not posted any collateral related to these agreements.
Derivative instruments expose us to credit risk in the event of non-performance by the counterparty under the terms of the interest rate hedge agreements. We believe that we minimize our credit risk on these transactions by dealing with major, creditworthy financial institutions. We monitor the credit ratings of counterparties and our exposure to any single entity, thus minimizing our credit risk concentration.
NOTE 7: FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value
For assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, quantitative disclosures about the fair value measurements are required to be disclosed separately for each major category of assets and liabilities, as follows:
Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets
Level 2: Significant other observable inputs
Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs
The only assets or liabilities we had at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 that are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis are the assets held in the Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (“SERP”), which primarily consist of investments in mutual funds, and the interest rate derivatives (see note 6).
We base the valuations related to the SERP on assumptions derived from significant other observable inputs and accordingly these valuations fall into Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
The valuation of the interest rate derivatives is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each interest rate derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the interest rate derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities. The fair values of interest rate derivatives are determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash payments (or receipts) and the discounted expected variable cash receipts (or payments). The variable cash payments (or receipts) are based on an expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate curves. To comply with the provisions of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement , we incorporate credit valuation adjustments in the fair value measurements to appropriately reflect both our own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk. These credit valuation adjustments were concluded to not be significant inputs for the fair value calculations for the periods presented. In adjusting the fair value of our derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, we have considered the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements, such as the posting of collateral, thresholds, mutual puts and guarantees. The valuation of interest rate derivatives fall into Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
The fair values of these assets and liabilities at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 were as follows (in thousands):
September 30, 2021 December 31, 2020

Financial Assets and Liabilities Not Measured at Fair Value
19
The following disclosures of estimated fair value were determined by management using available market information and established valuation methodologies, including discounted cash flow models. Many of these estimates involve significant judgment. The estimated fair value disclosed may not necessarily be indicative of the amounts we could realize on disposition of the financial instruments. The use of different market assumptions or estimation methodologies could have an effect on the estimated fair value amounts. In addition, fair value estimates are made at a point in time and thus, estimates of fair value subsequent to September 30, 2021 may differ significantly from the amounts presented. The valuations of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash fall into Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy and the valuations of debt instruments fall into Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.
As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the carrying values and estimated fair values of our financial instruments were as follows (in thousands):

NOTE 8: STOCK BASED COMPENSATION
WashREIT maintains short-term (“STIP”) and long-term (“LTIP”) incentive plans that allow for stock based awards to officers and non-officer employees. Stock based awards are provided to officers and non-officer employees, as well as trustees, under the Washington Real Estate Investment Trust 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan which allows for awards in the form of restricted shares, restricted share units, options and other awards up to an aggregate of 2,400,000 shares over the ten-year period in which the plan will be in effect. Restricted share units are converted into shares of our stock upon full vesting through the issuance of new shares.
Total Compensation Expense
Total compensation expense recognized in the consolidated financial statements for all outstanding share based awards was $ 2.7 million and $ 2.1 million for the 2021 Quarter and 2020 Quarter, respectively, and $ 6.5 million and $ 5.9 million for the 2021 Period and 2020 Period, respectively.
Restricted Share Awards
The total fair values of restricted share awards vested was $ 1.6 million and $ 0.8 million for the 2021 Period and 2020 Period, respectively.
The total unvested restricted share awards at September 30, 2021 was 430,993 shares, which had a weighted average grant date fair value of $ 28.46 per share. As of September 30, 2021, the total compensation cost related to unvested restricted share awards was $ 5.7 million, which we expect to recognize over a weighted average period of 18 months.
NOTE 9: EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE
We determine “Basic earnings per share” using the two-class method as our unvested restricted share awards and units have non-forfeitable rights to dividends, and are therefore considered participating securities. We compute basic earnings per share by dividing net income less the allocation of undistributed earnings to unvested restricted share awards and units by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period.
We also determine “Diluted earnings per share” as the more dilutive of the two-class method or the treasury stock method with respect to the unvested restricted share awards. We further evaluate any other potentially dilutive securities at the end of the period and adjust the basic earnings per share calculation for the impact of those securities that are dilutive. Our dilutive earnings per share calculation includes the dilutive impact of operating partnership units under the if-converted method and our share based awards with performance conditions prior to the grant date and all market condition awards under the contingently issuable method.

NOTE 10: SEGMENT INFORMATION
We operate in a single reportable segment which includes the ownership, development, redevelopment and acquisition of apartment communities. Each of our operating properties, including our remaining office property, do not meet the criteria to be considered separate operating segments on a stand-alone basis. We do not distinguish or group our consolidated operations based on size, type or geography. All but one community is within the Washington, DC metro region and no community comprises more than 10% of consolidated revenues. Further, our apartment communities have similar long-term economic characteristics and provide similar products and services to our residents. As a result, our operating properties are aggregated into a single reportable segment: residential.
Prior to the second quarter of 2021, we had two reportable segments: office and residential. During the 2021 Quarter, we closed on the sales of the Office Portfolio and the Retail Portfolio (see note 3), and following such sales, we have one remaining office property, Watergate 600, which does not meet the criteria for a reportable segment, and has been classified within “Other” on our segment disclosure tables.
We evaluate performance based upon net operating income of the combined properties in the segment. Our reportable operating segment consolidates similar properties. GAAP requires that segment disclosures present the measure(s) used by the chief operating decision maker for purposes of assessing each segment’s performance. Net operating income is a key measurement of our segment profit and loss and is defined as real estate rental revenue less real estate expenses.

NOTE 11: SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY
On February 17, 2021, we entered into separate amendments to each of our existing equity distribution agreements (“Original Equity Distribution Agreements”) with each of Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, BNY Mellon Capital Markets, LLC, Capital One Securities, Inc., Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc. and Truist Securities, Inc. (f/k/a SunTrust Robinson Humphrey, Inc.), each dated May 4, 2018 (collectively, as amended, the “Equity Distribution Agreements”). Also on February 17, 2021, we entered into a separate equity distribution agreement with BTIG, LLC on the same terms as the Amended Equity Distribution Agreements (the “BTIG Equity Distribution Agreement”). On September 22, 2021, BTIG, LLC notified us that it was terminating the BTIG Equity Distribution Agreement, effective as of September 27, 2021. Pursuant to the Equity Distribution Agreements, we may sell, from time to time, up to an aggregate price of $ 550.0 million of our common shares of beneficial interest, $ 0.01 par value per share. Issuances of our common shares are made at market prices prevailing at the time of issuance. We may use net proceeds from the issuance of common shares under this program for general business purposes, including, without limitation, working capital, the acquisition, renovation, expansion, improvement, development or redevelopment of income producing properties or the repayment of debt. We did not issue common shares under the Equity Distribution Agreements during the 2021 Quarter or 2020 Quarter. Our issuances and net proceeds on the Equity Distribution Agreements and the Original Equity Distribution Agreements, respectively, for the 2021 Period and 2020 Period are as follows ($ in thousands, except per share data):
