NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(dollars in thousands, except per share data)
(unaudited)
Note 1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of Office Properties Income Trust and its subsidiaries, or OPI, we, us or our, are unaudited. Certain information and disclosures required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, for complete financial statements have been condensed or omitted. We believe the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. However, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, or our 2019 Annual Report. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals considered necessary for a fair statement of results for the interim period have been included. All intercompany transactions and balances with or among our consolidated subsidiaries have been eliminated. Our operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.
The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates in the condensed consolidated financial statements include purchase price allocations, useful lives of fixed assets and assessment of impairment of real estate and the related intangibles.
Note 2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments , which requires that entities use a new forward looking “expected loss” model that generally will result in the earlier recognition of allowance for credit losses. The measurement of expected credit losses is based upon historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. We adopted ASU No. 2016-13 on January 1, 2020 using the modified retrospective approach. The implementation of this standard did not have a material impact in our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Note 3. Per Common Share Amounts
We calculate basic earnings per common share by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of our common shares outstanding during the period. We calculate diluted earnings per share using the more dilutive of the two class method or the treasury stock method. Unvested share awards and other potentially dilutive common shares, together with the related impact on earnings, are considered when calculating diluted earnings per share. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, certain unvested common shares were not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share because to do so would have been antidilutive.
Note 4. Real Estate Properties
As of September 30, 2020, our wholly owned properties were comprised of 184 properties with approximately 24,909,000 rentable square feet, with an aggregate undepreciated carrying value of $ 3,544,937 , including $ 18,018 classified as held for sale, and we had noncontrolling ownership interests in three properties totaling approximately 444,000 rentable square feet through two unconsolidated joint ventures in which we own 51 % and 50 % interests. We generally lease space at our properties on a gross lease, modified gross lease or net lease basis pursuant to fixed term contracts expiring between 2020 and 2040. Some of our leases generally require us to pay all or some property operating expenses and to provide all or most property management services. During the three months ended September 30, 2020, we entered into 17 leases for approximately 595,000 rentable square feet for a weighted (by rentable square feet) average lease term of 10.6 years and we made commitments for approximately $ 6,238 of leasing related costs. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we entered into 60 leases for approximately 1,826,000 rentable square feet for a weighted (by rentable square feet) average lease term of 7.1 years and we made commitments for approximately $ 35,697 of leasing related costs.
As of September 30, 2020, we have estimated unspent leasing related obligations of $ 61,307 .
We regularly evaluate whether events or changes in circumstances have occurred that could indicate an impairment in the value of our long lived assets. If there is an indication that the carrying value of an asset is not recoverable, we estimate the projected undiscounted cash flows to determine if an impairment loss should be recognized. The future net undiscounted cash

(dollars in thousands, except per share data)
(unaudited)
flows are subjective and are based in part on assumptions regarding hold periods, market rents and terminal capitalization rates. We determine the amount of any impairment loss by comparing the historical carrying value to estimated fair value. We estimate fair value through an evaluation of recent financial performance and projected discounted cash flows using standard industry valuation techniques. In addition to the consideration of impairment upon the events or changes in circumstances described above, we regularly evaluate the remaining lives of our long lived assets. If we change our estimate of the remaining lives, we allocate the carrying value of the affected assets over their revised remaining lives.
Acquisition Activities
In February 2020, we acquired a property adjacent to a property we own in Boston, MA for $ 11,864 , including $ 364 of acquisition related costs. This acquisition was accounted for as an asset acquisition. The purchase price of this acquisition was allocated to land and building in the amounts of $ 2,618 and $ 9,246 , respectively.
In August 2020, we terminated a previously disclosed agreement to acquire an office property in Denver, CO for a purchase price of $ 38,100 .
In October 2020, we entered into an agreement to acquire three properties containing approximately 194,000 square feet adjacent to properties we own in an office park in Brookhaven, GA for $ 15,250 , excluding acquisition related costs.
Disposition Activities
During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we sold six properties with a combined 734,784 rentable square feet for an aggregate sales price of $ 85,363 , excluding closing costs and including the repayment of one mortgage note with an outstanding principal balance of $ 13,095 , an annual interest rate of 5.9 % and a maturity date in August 2021.
The sales of these properties, as presented in the table below, do not represent significant dispositions individually or in the aggregate nor do they represent a strategic shift in our business. As a result, the results of operations of these properties are included in continuing operations through the date of sale in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).
Date of Sale Number of Properties Location Rentable Square Feet Gross
Sales Price (1)
Gain (Loss) on Sale of Real Estate
January 2020 2 Stafford, VA 64,656 $ 14,063 $ 4,704

(1) Gross sales price is equal to the gross contract price, includes purchase price adjustments, if any, and excludes closing costs.
As of September 30, 2020, we had four properties with an aggregate undepreciated carrying value of $ 18,018 under agreement to sell for a sales price of $ 25,100 , excluding closing costs. These properties were classified as held for sale in our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2020. We recorded a $ 2,954 loss on impairment of real estate during the three months ended September 30, 2020 to adjust the carrying value of these properties to their estimated fair value less costs to sell. The operating results of these properties are included in continuing operations in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). The sale of these properties was completed in October 2020.

Unconsolidated Joint Ventures
We own interests in two joint ventures that own three properties. We account for these investments under the equity method of accounting. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, our investments in unconsolidated joint ventures consisted of the following:
OPI Carrying Value of Investments at
Joint Venture OPI Ownership September 30,
2020 December 31, 2019 Number of Properties Location Rentable Square Feet
Prosperity Metro Plaza 51 % $ 22,080 $ 22,483 2 Fairfax, VA 328,655
1750 H Street, NW 50 % 16,453 17,273 1 Washington, D.C. 115,411
Total $ 38,533 $ 39,756 3 444,066
The following table provides a summary of the mortgage debt of our two unconsolidated joint ventures:
Joint Venture Interest Rate (1)
Maturity Date Principal Balance at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 (2)
Prosperity Metro Plaza 4.09 % 12/1/2029 $ 50,000
1750 H Street, NW 3.69 % 8/1/2024 32,000
Weighted Average / Total 3.93 % $ 82,000
(1) Includes the effect of mark to market purchase accounting.
(2) Reflects the entire balance of the debt secured by the properties and is not adjusted to reflect the interests in the joint ventures we do not own. None of the debt is recourse to us.
At September 30, 2020, the aggregate unamortized basis difference of our two unconsolidated joint ventures of $ 7,584 is primarily attributable to the difference between the amount we paid to purchase our interest in these joint ventures, including transaction costs, and the historical carrying value of the net assets of these joint ventures. This difference is being amortized over the remaining useful life of the related properties and the resulting amortization expense is included in equity in net losses of investees in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).
Note 5. Leases
Revenue Recognition. Our leases provide for base rent payments and in addition may include variable payments. Rental income from operating leases, including any payments derived by index or market-based indices, is recognized on a straight line basis over the lease term when we have determined that the collectability of substantially all of the lease payments is probable. Some of our leases have options to extend or terminate the lease exercisable at the option of our tenants, which are considered when determining the lease term. In certain circumstances, some leases provide the tenant with the right to terminate if the legislature or other funding authority does not appropriate the funding necessary for the tenant to meet its lease obligations; we have determined the fixed non-cancelable lease term of these leases to be the full term of the lease because we believe the occurrence of early terminations to be remote contingencies based on both our historical experience and our assessments of the likelihood of lease cancellation on a separate lease basis.
We increased rental income to record revenue on a straight line basis by $ 3,912 and $ 6,904 for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $ 12,963 and $ 19,365 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Rents receivable, excluding properties classified as held for sale, include $ 66,499 and $ 54,837 of straight line rent receivables at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.
We do not include in our measurement of our lease receivables certain variable payments, including payments determined by changes in the index or market-based indices after the inception of the lease, certain tenant reimbursements and other income until the specific events that trigger the variable payments have occurred. Such payments totaled $ 18,606 and $ 56,654 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, of which tenant reimbursements totaled $ 17,495 and $ 53,346 , respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, such payments totaled $ 23,092 and $ 69,182 , respectively, of which tenant reimbursements totaled $ 21,914 and $ 65,577 , respectively.

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, some of our tenants have requested rent assistance. As of October 27, 2020, we have granted temporary rent assistance totaling $ 2,550 to 19 of our tenants who represent approximately 3.6 % of our annualized rental income, as defined below, as of September 30, 2020, pursuant to deferred payment plans. These tenants are obligated to pay, in most cases, the deferred rent over a 12 -month period, certain of which commenced in September 2020. We have elected to use the FASB relief package regarding the application of lease accounting guidance to lease concessions provided as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The FASB relief package provides entities with the option to account for lease concessions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic outside of the existing lease modification guidance if the resulting cash flows from the modified lease are substantially the same as or less than the original lease. Because the deferred rent amounts referenced above will be repaid, the cash flows from the respective leases are substantially the same as before the rent deferrals. The deferred amounts did not impact our operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020. As of September 30, 2020, deferred payments totaling $ 2,096 are included in rents receivable in our condensed consolidated balance sheet.
Right of Use Asset and Lease Liability . For leases where we are the lessee, we are required to record a right of use asset and lease liability for all leases with an initial term greater than 12 months. As of September 30, 2020, we had one lease that met these criteria where we are the lessee, which expires on January 31, 2021. We sublease a portion of the space, which sublease expires on January 31, 2021. The values of the right of use asset and related liability representing our future obligation under the lease arrangement for which we are the lessee were $ 670 and $ 689 , respectively, as of September 30, 2020, and $ 2,149 and $ 2,179 , respectively, as of December 31, 2019. The right of use asset and related lease liability are included within other assets, net and accounts payable and other liabilities, respectively, within our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Rent expense incurred under the lease, net of sublease revenue, was $ 409 and $ 411 for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $ 1,301 and $ 1,226 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Note 6. Concentration
Tenant Concentration
We define annualized rental income as the annualized contractual base rents from our tenants pursuant to our lease agreements as of the measurement date, plus straight line rent adjustments and estimated recurring expense reimbursements to be paid to us, and excluding lease value amortization. As of September 30, 2020, the U.S. Government, 11 state governments and two other government tenants combined were responsible for approximately 35.6 % of our annualized rental income. As of September 30, 2019, the U.S. Government, 13 state governments and three other government tenants combined were responsible for approximately 36.3 % of our annualized rental income. The U.S. Government is our largest tenant by annualized rental income and was responsible for approximately 25.2 % and 25.8 % of our annualized rental income as of September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Geographic Concentration
At September 30, 2020, our 184 wholly owned properties were located in 34 states and the District of Columbia. Properties located in Virginia, California, the District of Columbia, Texas and Maryland were responsible for 15.2 %, 12.1 %, 10.9 %, 8.3 % and 6.6 % of our annualized rental income as of September 30, 2020, respectively.
Note 7. Indebtedness
Our principal debt obligations at September 30, 2020 were: (1) $ 2,072,000 aggregate outstanding principal amount of senior unsecured notes; and (2) $ 171,475 aggregate outstanding principal amount of mortgage notes.
Our $ 750,000 revolving credit facility is governed by a credit agreement, or our credit agreement, with a syndicate of institutional lenders that includes a feature under which the maximum aggregate borrowing availability may be increased to up to $ 1,950,000 in certain circumstances.
Our $ 750,000 revolving credit facility is available for general business purposes, including acquisitions. The maturity date of our revolving credit facility is January 31, 2023 and, subject to our payment of an extension fee and meeting certain other conditions, we have the option to extend the stated maturity date of our revolving credit facility by two additional six month periods. We can borrow, repay and reborrow funds available under our revolving credit facility until maturity and no principal repayment is due until maturity. We are required to pay interest at a rate of LIBOR plus a premium, which was 110 basis points per annum at September 30, 2020, on the amount outstanding under our revolving credit facility. We also pay a facility fee on

(unaudited)
the total amount of lending commitments under our revolving credit facility, which was 25 basis points per annum at September 30, 2020. Both the interest rate premium and facility fee are subject to adjustment based upon changes to our credit ratings. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the annual interest rate payable on borrowings under our revolving credit facility was 1.2 % and 2.7 %, respectively. The weighted average annual interest rate for borrowings under our revolving credit facility was 1.2 % and 3.3 % for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and 2.0 % and 3.4 % for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. As of September 30, 2020 and October 29, 2020, we had no amounts outstanding under our revolving credit facility and $ 750,000 available for borrowing.
Our credit agreement and senior unsecured notes indentures and their supplements provide for acceleration of payment of all amounts due thereunder upon the occurrence and continuation of certain events of default, such as, in the case of our credit agreement, a change of control of us, which includes The RMR Group LLC, or RMR LLC, ceasing to act as our business and property manager. Our credit agreement and senior unsecured notes indentures and their supplements also contain covenants, including covenants that restrict our ability to incur debts, require us to comply with certain financial covenants and, in the case of our credit agreement, restrict our ability to make distributions under certain circumstances. We believe we were in compliance with the terms and conditions of the respective covenants under our credit agreement and senior unsecured notes indentures and their supplements at September 30, 2020.
In January 2020, we redeemed, at par plus accrued interest, all $ 400,000 of our 3.60 % senior unsecured notes due 2020. As a result of the redemption of our 3.60 % senior unsecured notes due 2020, we recognized a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $ 61 during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, to write off unamortized discounts.

As a result of the prepayment of this mortgage note, we recognized a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $ 508 during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, from a prepayment penalty and the write off of unamortized debt issuance costs.
In March 2020, we prepaid, at a premium plus accrued interest, a mortgage note secured by one property with an outstanding principal balance of $ 66,780 , an annual interest rate of 4.0 % and a maturity date in September 2030. As a result of the prepayment of this mortgage note, we recognized a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $ 2,713 during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, from a prepayment penalty and the write off of unamortized discounts.
In April 2020, we prepaid, at par plus accrued interest, a mortgage note secured by one property with an outstanding principal balance of $ 32,677 , an annual interest rate of 5.7 % and a maturity date in July 2020.

In June 2020, we issued $ 150,000 of our 6.375 % senior unsecured notes due 2050 in an underwritten public offering. In connection with this offering, we granted the underwriters a 30 day option to purchase up to an additional $ 22,500 aggregate principal amount of these notes. In July 2020, the underwriters partially exercised this option to purchase an additional $ 12,000 of these notes. The aggregate net proceeds from this offering were $ 156,186 , after underwriters’ discounts and offering expenses. These notes require quarterly payments of interest only through maturity and may be repaid at par (plus accrued and unpaid interest) on or after June 23, 2025.
In August 2020, we repaid at maturity, at par plus accrued interest, a mortgage note secured by one property with an outstanding principal balance of $ 39,635 and an annual interest rate of 2.2 %.
In September 2020, we issued $ 250,000 of our 4.50 % senior unsecured notes due 2025 in an underwritten public offering. These notes are a further issuance of our existing $ 400,000 of senior unsecured notes due 2025 that were initially issued by Select Income REIT, or SIR, in February 2015, which we assumed in connection with our acquisition of SIR in a merger transaction on December 31, 2018. The public offering price of these notes was 101.414 % of the principal amount, raising net proceeds of $ 251,269 , after underwriters’ discounts and estimated offering expenses. These notes require semi-annual payments of interest only through maturity.

This mortgage note was secured by a property in Fairfax, VA that was sold in March 2020. The mortgage note was repaid at closing.
We estimated the fair value of our senior unsecured notes (except for our senior unsecured notes due 2046 and 2050) using an average of the bid and ask price of the notes (Level 2 inputs as defined in the fair value hierarchy under GAAP) as of the measurement date. We estimated the fair value of our senior unsecured notes due 2046 and 2050 based on the closing price on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC, or Nasdaq, (Level 1 inputs as defined in the fair value hierarchy under GAAP) as of the measurement date. We estimated the fair values of our mortgage notes payable using discounted cash flow analyses and currently prevailing market rates (Level 3 inputs as defined in the fair value hierarchy under GAAP) as of the measurement date. Because Level 3 inputs are unobservable, our estimated fair value may differ materially from the actual fair value.
