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, 2021, or our 2021 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. 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 of beneficial interest, $.01 per share, or 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. The calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share is as follows:
Three Months Ended March 31,
2022 2021
Numerators:
Net income (loss) $ ( 13,407 ) $ 37,860
Income attributable to unvested participating securities — ( 123 )
Net income (loss) used in calculating earnings per share $ ( 13,407 ) $ 37,737
Denominators:
Weighted average common shares outstanding - basic 48,243 48,161
Effect of dilutive securities: unvested share awards (1)
— 35
Weighted average common shares outstanding - diluted 48,243 48,196
Net income (loss) per common share - basic $ ( 0.28 ) $ 0.78
Net income (loss) per common share - diluted $ ( 0.28 ) $ 0.78
(1) For the three months ended March 31, 2022, 22 unvested common shares were not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share because to do so would have been antidilutive.
Note 3. Real Estate Properties
As of March 31, 2022, our wholly owned properties were comprised of 174 properties containing approximately 22,941,000 rentable square feet, with an undepreciated carrying value of $ 3,937,509 , including $ 61,543 classified as held for sale. We also had noncontrolling ownership interests of 51 % and 50 % in two unconsolidated joint ventures that own three properties containing approximately 444,000 rentable square feet. 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 2022 and 2053. 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 March 31, 2022, we entered into 21 leases for approximately 572,000 rentable square feet for a weighted (by rentable square feet) average lease term of 10.7 years and we made commitments for approximately $ 32,748 of leasing related costs. As of March 31, 2022, we have estimated unspent leasing related obligations of $ 128,009 .
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 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.
Disposition Activities
During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we sold four properties containing approximately 330,000 rentable square feet for an aggregate sales price of $ 29,470 , excluding closing costs. 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 2022 1 Rockville, MD 129,000 $ 6,750 $ ( 72 )
February 2022 2 Chesapeake, VA 172,000 18,945 2,296
March 2022 1 Milwaukee, WI 29,000 3,775 ( 75 )
4 330,000 $ 29,470 $ 2,149
(1) Gross sales price is the gross contract price, excluding closing costs.
As of March 31, 2022, we had three properties containing approximately 583,000 rentable square feet classified as held for sale in our condensed consolidated balance sheet. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we recorded a $ 2,184 loss on impairment of real estate to adjust the carrying value of one property that was classified as held for sale to its estimated fair value less costs to sell and a $ 14,863 loss on impairment of real estate to adjust the carrying value of one property that was held and used to its estimated fair value, based on a negotiated sales price with a third-party buyer.
As of April 27, 2022, we have entered into agreements to sell two properties containing approximately 470,000 rentable square feet, including one property that was classified as held for sale as of March 31, 2022, for an aggregate sales price of $ 38,300 , excluding closing costs. These sales are subject to conditions; accordingly, we cannot be sure that we will complete these sales or that these sales will not be delayed or the terms will not change.
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 March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, our investments in unconsolidated joint ventures consisted of the following:
OPI Carrying Value of Investments at
Joint Venture OPI Ownership March 31,
2022 December 31, 2021 Number of Properties Location Rentable Square Feet
Prosperity Metro Plaza 51 % $ 20,310 $ 20,672 2 Fairfax, VA 329,000
1750 H Street, NW 50 % 14,701 14,166 1 Washington, D.C. 115,000
Total $ 35,011 $ 34,838 3 444,000

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 March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 (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 March 31, 2022, the aggregate unamortized basis difference of our two unconsolidated joint ventures of $ 6,855 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 4. Leases
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 a remote contingency based on both our historical experience and our assessments of the likelihood of lease cancellation on a separate lease basis.
We increased rental income to record revenue on a straight line basis by $ 2,686 and $ 5,357 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Rents receivable, excluding properties classified as held for sale, include $ 85,388 and $ 82,978 of straight line rent receivables at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, 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 $ 22,536 and $ 18,860 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, of which tenant reimbursements totaled $ 21,475 and $ 17,803 , respectively.
Note 5. Concentration
Tenant and Credit Concentration
We define annualized rental income as the annualized contractual base rents from our tenants pursuant to our lease agreements as of the measurement date, plus straight line rent adjustments and estimated recurring expense reimbursements to be paid to us, and excluding lease value amortization. As of March 31, 2022, the U.S. government, 11 state governments and four other government tenants combined were responsible for approximately 29.0 % of our annualized rental income. As of March 31, 2021, the U.S. government, 11 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 represented approximately 19.4 % and 25.9 % of our annualized rental income as of March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Geographic Concentration
At March 31, 2022, our 174 wholly owned properties were located in 32 states and the District of Columbia. Properties located in Virginia, California, the District of Columbia, Illinois and Georgia were responsible for approximately 12.1 %, 11.1 %, 10.0 %, 10.0 % and 8.4 % of our annualized rental income as of March 31, 2022, respectively.

Note 6. Indebtedness
Our principal debt obligations at March 31, 2022 were: (1) $ 2,512,000 aggregate outstanding principal amount of senior unsecured notes; and (2) $ 97,996 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 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 March 31, 2022, on the amount outstanding under our revolving credit facility, if any. We also pay a facility fee on the total amount of lending commitments under our revolving credit facility, which was 25 basis points per annum at March 31, 2022. Both the interest rate premium and facility fee are subject to adjustment based upon changes to our credit ratings. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the annual interest rate payable on borrowings under our revolving credit facility was 1.6 % and 1.2 %, respectively. We did not borrow any funds under our revolving credit facility during the three months ended March 31, 2022 or 2021. As of March 31, 2022 and April 27, 2022, 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, 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 March 31, 2022.
At March 31, 2022, three of our properties with an aggregate net book value of $ 187,129 were encumbered by mortgage notes with an aggregate principal amount of $ 97,996 . Our mortgage notes are non-recourse, subject to certain limited exceptions and do not contain any material financial covenants.
In April 2022, we prepaid, at par plus accrued interest, a mortgage note secured by one property with an outstanding principal balance of $ 24,863 , an annual interest rate of 4.22 % and a maturity date in July 2022.

See Note 3 for more information.
(2) We recorded an impairment charge of $ 2,184 to reduce the carrying value of one property that is classified as held for sale in our condensed consolidated balance sheet to its estimated fair value, less estimated costs to sell of $ 138 , based on third party offers (Level 3 inputs as defined in the fair value hierarchy under GAAP).

We estimated the fair values of our senior unsecured notes (except for our senior unsecured notes due 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 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 values may differ materially from the actual fair values.

Note 9. Business and Property Management Agreements with RMR
We have no employees. The personnel and various services we require to operate our business are provided to us by RMR. We have two agreements with RMR to provide management services to us: (1) a business management agreement, which relates to our business generally; and (2) a property management agreement, which relates to our property level operations.
Pursuant to our business management agreement with RMR, we recognized net business management fees of $ 4,710 and $ 9,474 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Based on our common share total return, as defined in our business management agreement, as of March 31, 2022, no estimated incentive fees are included in the net business management fees we recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The actual amount of annual incentive fees for 2022, if any, will be based on our common share total return, as defined in our business management agreement, for the three year period ending December 31, 2022, and will be payable in January 2023. The net business management fees we recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2021 included $ 5,200 of accrued estimated incentive fees based on our common share total return as of March 31, 2021. We did no t incur an incentive fee payable to RMR for the year ended December 31, 2021. We include business management fees in general and administrative expenses in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).
We and RMR amended our business management agreement effective August 1, 2021 to provide that (i) for periods beginning on and after August 1, 2021, the MSCI U.S. REIT/Office REIT Index will be used to calculate benchmark returns per share for purposes of determining any incentive management fee payable by us to RMR and (ii) for periods prior to August 1, 2021, the SNL U.S. REIT Office Index will continue to be used. This change of index was due to S&P Global ceasing to publish the SNL U.S. REIT Office Index.
Pursuant to our property management agreement with RMR, we recognized aggregate net property management and construction supervision fees of $ 6,128 and $ 4,612 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Of these amounts, for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, $ 4,226 and $ 4,080 , respectively, were expensed to other operating expenses in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) and $ 1,902 and $ 532 , respectively, were capitalized as building improvements in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The amounts capitalized are being depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the related capital assets.
We are generally responsible for all of our operating expenses, including certain expenses incurred or arranged by RMR on our behalf. We are generally not responsible for payment of RMR’s employment, office or administrative expenses incurred to provide management services to us, except for the employment and related expenses of RMR’s employees assigned to work exclusively or partly at our properties, our share of the wages, benefits and other related costs of RMR’s centralized accounting personnel, our share of RMR’s costs for providing our internal audit function and as otherwise agreed. Our property level operating expenses are generally incorporated into the rents charged to our tenants, including certain payroll and related costs incurred by RMR. We reimbursed RMR $ 5,966 and $ 6,052 for these expenses and costs for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. We included these amounts in other operating expenses and general and administrative expenses, as applicable, in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).

Our other officers are also officers and employees of RMR.

Our Manager, RMR. We have two agreements with RMR to provide management services to us. See Note 9 for more information regarding our management agreements with RMR.
Leases with RMR. We lease office space to RMR in certain of our properties for RMR’s property management offices. Pursuant to our lease agreements with RMR, we recognized rental income from RMR for leased office space of $ 284 and $ 288 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Sonesta . In June 2021, we entered into a 30 -year lease agreement with a subsidiary of Sonesta International Hotels Corporation, or Sonesta, in connection with the redevelopment of an office property we own in Washington, D.C. as a mixed-use property. Sonesta’s lease is for the planned full-service hotel component of the property that will include approximately 230,000 rentable square feet, which represents approximately 54 % of the total square feet upon completion of the redevelopment. The term of the lease commences upon our delivery of the completed hotel, which we estimate to occur in the first quarter of 2023. Sonesta has two options to extend the term for 10 years each. Pursuant to the lease agreement, Sonesta will pay us annual base rent of approximately $ 6,436 beginning 18 months after the lease commences. The annual base rent will increase by 10 % every five years throughout the term. Sonesta is also obligated to pay its pro rata share of the operating costs for the building. We estimate that the total cost to build the hotel space will be approximately $ 66,000 . Mr. Portnoy is a director and controlling shareholder of Sonesta and Ms. Clark is also a director of Sonesta.
For more information about these and other such relationships and certain other related person transactions, refer to our 2021 Annual Report.
