Blackstone Real Estate Income Trust, Inc.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

1. Organization and Business Purpose

Blackstone Real Estate Income Trust, Inc. (“BREIT” or the “Company”) invests primarily in stabilized income-oriented commercial real estate in the United States and, to a lesser extent, in real estate-related securities and loans. The Company is the sole general partner of BREIT Operating Partnership, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“BREIT OP”). BREIT Special Limited Partner L.P. (the “Special Limited Partner”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Blackstone Group Inc. (together with its affiliates, “Blackstone”), owns a special limited partner interest in BREIT OP. Substantially all of the Company’s business is conducted through BREIT OP. The Company and BREIT OP are externally managed by BX REIT Advisors L.L.C. (the “Adviser”). The Adviser is part of the real estate group of Blackstone, a leading global investment manager, which serves as our sponsor. The Company was formed on November 16, 2015 as a Maryland corporation and qualifies as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

The Company had registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) an offering of up to $5.0 billion in shares of common stock (the “Initial Offering”) and accepted gross offering proceeds of $4.9 billion during the period January 1, 2017 to January 1, 2019. The Company subsequently registered with the SEC a follow-on offering of up to $12.0 billion in shares of common stock, consisting of up to $10.0 billion in shares in its primary offering and up to $2.0 billion in shares pursuant to its distribution reinvestment plan (the “Current Offering” and with the Initial Offering, the “Offering”). The Company intends to sell any combination of four classes of shares of its common stock, with a dollar value up to the maximum aggregate amount of the Current Offering. The share classes have different upfront selling commissions, dealer manager fees and ongoing stockholder servicing fees. As of June 30, 2019, the Company had received net proceeds of $6.8 billion from selling shares in the Offering. The Company intends to continue selling shares on a monthly basis.

As of June 30, 2019, the Company owned 652 properties and had 163 positions in real estate-related securities and loans. The Company currently operates in five reportable segments: Multifamily, Industrial, Hotel, and Retail Properties, and Real Estate-Related Securities and Loans. Multifamily includes various forms of rental housing including apartments, student housing and manufactured housing. Financial results by segment are reported in Note 13 — Segment Reporting.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. The condensed consolidated financial statements, including the condensed notes thereto, are unaudited and exclude some of the disclosures required in audited financial statements. Management believes it has made all necessary adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring items, so that the condensed consolidated financial statements are presented fairly and that estimates made in preparing its condensed consolidated financial statements are reasonable and prudent. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 filed with the SEC.

Certain amounts in the Company’s prior period condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. The Company has chosen to aggregate certain financial statement line items in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations and condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. Such reclassifications had no effect on total revenues or net loss on the condensed consolidated statements of operations or previously reported totals or subtotals in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, the Company’s subsidiaries and joint ventures in which the Company has a controlling interest. For consolidated joint ventures, the non-controlling partner’s share of the assets, liabilities and operations of the joint ventures is included in non-controlling interests as equity of the Company. The non-controlling partner’s interest is generally computed as the joint venture partner’s ownership percentage. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

7


The Company consolidates partially owned entities in which it has a controlling financial interest. In determining whether the Company has a controlling financial interest in a p artially owned entity and the requirement to consolidate the accounts of that entity, the Company considers whether the entity is a variable interest entity (“VIE”) and whether it is the primary beneficiary. The Company is the primary beneficiary of a VIE when it has (i) the power to direct the most significant activities impacting the economic performance of the VIE and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits significant to the VIE. BREIT OP and each of the Company’s joint ventures are con sidered to be a VIE. The Company consolidates these entities because it has the ability to direct the most significant activities of the entities such as purchases, dispositions, financings, budgets, and overall operating plans.

As of June 30, 2019, the total assets and liabilities of the Company’s consolidated VIEs, excluding BREIT OP, were $4.4 billion and $2.8 billion, respectively, compared to $2.8 billion and $1.9 billion as of December 31, 2018. Such amounts are included on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the balance sheet. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Fair Value Option

The Company elected the fair value option (“FVO”) for its investments in term loans. Unrealized gains and losses on the value of financial instruments for which the FVO has been elected are recorded as a component of net income or loss. The Company records any unrealized gains or losses on its investments in term loans as a component of Income from Real Estate-Related Securities and Loans on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Fair Value Measurements

Under normal market conditions, the fair value of an investment is the amount that would be received to sell an asset or transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (i.e., the exit price). Additionally, there is a hierarchal framework that prioritizes and ranks the level of market price observability used in measuring investments at fair value. Market price observability is impacted by a number of factors, including the type of investment and the characteristics specific to the investment and the state of the marketplace, including the existence and transparency of transactions between market participants. Investments with readily available active quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices generally will have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment used in measuring fair value.

Investments measured and reported at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following levels within the fair value hierarchy:

Level 1 — quoted prices are available in active markets for identical investments as of the measurement date. The Company does not adjust the quoted price for these investments.

Level 2 — quoted prices are available in markets that are not active or model inputs are based on inputs that are either directly or indirectly observable as of the measurement date.

Level 3 — pricing inputs are unobservable and include instances where there is minimal, if any, market activity for the investment. These inputs require significant judgment or estimation by management or third parties when determining fair value and generally represent anything that does not meet the criteria of Levels 1 and 2. Due to the inherent uncertainty of these estimates, these values may differ materially from the values that would have been used had a ready market for these investments existed.

As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company’s $3.5 billion and $2.3 billion, respectively, of investments in real estate-related securities and loans were classified as Level 2.

Valuation

The Company’s investments in real estate-related securities and loans are reported at fair value. As of June 30, 2019, the Company’s investments in real estate-related securities and loans consisted of commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”), which are mortgage-related fixed income securities, corporate bonds, and term loans of real estate-related companies. The Company generally determines the fair value of its real estate-related securities and loans by utilizing third-party pricing service providers and broker-dealer quotations on the basis of last available bid price.

8


In determining the fair value of a particular investment, pricing service providers may use broker-dealer quotations, reported trades or valuation estimates from their internal pricing models to determine the reported price. The pricing service providers’ internal models for securities such as real estate-related securities and loans generally consider the attributes applicable to a particular class of the security (e.g., credit rating, seniority), current market data, and estimated cash flows for each class and incorporate deal collateral performance such as prepayment speeds and default rates, as available.

As of June 30, 2019, the fair value of the Company’s mortgage notes, term loans, secured  and unsecured revolving credit facilities, repurchase agreements, and affiliate line of credit was approximately $51.1 million above carrying value. Fair value of the Company’s indebtedness is estimated by modeling the cash flows required by the Company’s debt agreements and discounting them back to the present value using the appropriate discount rate. Additionally, the Company considers current market rates and conditions by evaluating similar borrowing agreements with comparable loan-to-value ratios and credit profiles. The inputs used in determining the fair value of the Company’s indebtedness are considered Level 3.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company’s stock-based compensation consists of incentive compensation awards issued to certain employees of affiliate portfolio company service providers. Such awards vest over the life of the awards and stock-based compensation expense is recognized for these awards in net income on a straight-line basis over the applicable vesting period of the award, based on the value of the awards at grant. Refer to Note 11 for additional information.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update 2016-02 (“ASU 2016-02”), “Leases,” and all related amendments (codified in Accounting Standards Codification Topic 842 (“Topic 842”)). Certain of the Company’s investments in real estate are subject to ground leases, for which lease liabilities and corresponding right-of-use (“ROU”) assets were recognized as a result of adoption. The Company calculated the amount of the lease liabilities and ROU assets by taking the present value of the remaining lease payments, and adjusted the ROU assets for any existing straight-line ground rent liabilities and acquired ground lease intangibles. The Company’s estimated incremental borrowing rate of a loan with a similar term as the corresponding ground leases was used as the discount rate, which was determined to be approximately 7.0%. Considerable judgment and assumptions were required to estimate the Company’s incremental borrowing rate which was determined by considering the Company’s credit quality, ground lease duration, and debt yields observed in the market.

Three of the Company’s existing ground leases were classified as operating leases, and upon adoption the Company recognized operating lease liabilities and corresponding ROU assets of $31.3 million. The Company’s existing below-market ground lease intangible asset of $4.5 million, above-market ground lease intangible liability of $4.6 million, and straight-line ground rent liability of $1.2 million were reclassified as of January 1, 2019 to be presented net of the operating ROU assets. In addition, the Company’s existing prepaid ground lease intangible asset of $15.7 million was reclassified as of January 1, 2019 to be presented along with the operating ROU assets.

On March 29, 2019, the Company made an acquisition which was subject to ground leases. The present value of the future lease payments under such leases exceeded the fair value of the underlying asset, as such, the Company recorded financing lease liabilities and corresponding ROU assets of $56.0 million.

The lease liabilities are included as a component of Accounts Payable, Accrued Expenses, and Other Liabilities and the related ROU assets are recorded as a component of Investments in Real Estate, Net on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Refer to Note 3, Note 9 and Note 12 for additional information.

In transition, the Company elected the package of practical expedients to not reassess (i) whether existing arrangements are or contain a lease, (ii) the classification of an operating or financing lease in a period prior to adoption, and (iii) any initial direct costs for existing leases. Additionally, the Company elected to not use hindsight and carried forward its lease term assumptions when adopting Topic 842 and did not recognize lease liabilities and lease assets for leases with a term of 12 months or less. The Company applied ASU 2016-02 as of the effective date of January 1, 2019, and there was no impact to retained earnings as a result of the Company’s adoption.

9


The adoption of ASU 2016-02 for leases in which the Company is lessor did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company elected to no t separate non-lease components from lease components and presented lease related revenues as a single line item, net of bad debt expense on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. Prior to the adoption of ASU 2016-02, the Company sep arated lease related revenue between “rental revenue” and “tenant reimbursement income” and bad debt expense as a component of “rental property operating” expense. As a result of adoption, the Company reclassified the prior period balances of “tenant reimb ursement income” to “rental revenue” to conform to the current period presentation. The Company did not reclassify the prior period balance of bad debt expense on its condensed consolidated statement of operations. The operating lease income presented in “ rental revenue” for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 includes $15.6 million and $24.6 million, respectively, previously classified as “tenant reimbursement income,” which was determined under the standard in effect prior to the Company’s adopti on of ASU 2016-02. Refer to Note 12 for additional information.

Redeemable Non-controlling Interest

In connection with its performance participation interest, the Special Limited Partner holds Class I units in BREIT OP. See Note 11 for further details of the Special Limited Partner’s performance participation interest. Because the Special Limited Partner has the ability to redeem its Class I units for Class I shares in the Company or cash, at the election of the Special Limited Partner, the Company has classified these Class I units as Redeemable Non-controlling Interest in mezzanine equity on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Redeemable Non-controlling Interest is recorded at the greater of the carrying amount, adjusted for their share of the allocation of income or loss and dividends, or the redemption value, which is equivalent to fair value, of such units at the end of each measurement period. As the redemption value was greater than the adjusted carrying value at June 30, 2019, the Company recorded an allocation adjustment of $1.4 million between Additional Paid-in Capital and Redeemable Non-controlling Interest.

Affiliate service provider expenses and portfolio company incentive compensation awards are included as a component of Rental Property Operating and Hotel Operating expense, as applicable, in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Transaction support fees were capitalized to Investments in Real Estate on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company issued incentive compensation awards to certain employees of affiliate portfolio company service providers on January 1, 2019 that entitles them to receive an allocation of total return over a certain hurdle amount, as determined by the Company. The value of the award at January 1, 2019 was $8.0 million and will be amortized over the four year service period. As of June 30, 2019, the total unrecognized compensation cost relating to the portfolio company incentive compensation awards was $7.0 million and is expected to be recognized over a period of 3.5 years from June 30, 2019. Neither Blackstone nor the Adviser receives any fees or incentive payments from agreements between the Company and such portfolio companies or their management teams.

The 2018 portfolio company incentive compensation awards of $4.7 million became payable on December 31, 2018 and, in January 2019, the Company issued approximately 0.4 million of fully vested Class I units in BREIT OP to certain employees of such companies.

Lessor

The Company’s rental revenue primarily consists of rent earned from operating leases at the Company’s multifamily, industrial, and retail properties. Leases at the Company’s industrial and retail properties generally include a fixed base rent and certain leases also contain a variable component. The variable component of the Company’s operating leases at its industrial and retail properties primarily consist of the reimbursement of operating expenses such as real estate taxes, insurance, and common area maintenance costs. Leases at the Company’s industrial and retail properties are generally longer term and may contain extension and termination options at the lessee’s election. Rental revenue earned from leases at the Company’s multifamily properties primarily consist of a fixed base rent and certain leases contain a variable component that allows for the pass-through of certain operating expenses such as utilities. Leases at the Company’s multifamily properties are short term in nature, generally not greater than 12 months in length.

ITEM 2.

M ANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

References herein to “Blackstone Real Estate Income Trust,” “BREIT,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our” refer to Blackstone Real Estate Income Trust, Inc. and its subsidiaries unless the context specifically requires otherwise.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

Forward-Looking Statements

This Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements about our business, operations and financial performance, including, in particular, statements about our plans, strategies and objectives. You can generally identify forward-looking statements by our use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “believe,” “continue” or other similar words. These statements include our plans and objectives for future operations, including plans and objectives relating to future growth and availability of funds, and are based on current expectations that involve numerous risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Assumptions relating to these statements involve judgments with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive and market conditions and future business decisions, all of which are difficult or impossible to accurately predict and many of which are beyond our control. Although we believe the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements, and the forward-looking statements themselves, are reasonable, any of the assumptions could be inaccurate and, therefore, there can be no assurance that these forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate and our actual results, performance and achievements may be materially different from that expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including but not limited to those discussed under Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 and elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in these forward looking statements, the inclusion of this information should not be regarded as a representation by us or any other person that our objectives and plans, which we consider to be reasonable, will be achieved.

Overview

BREIT invests primarily in stabilized income-oriented commercial real estate in the United States and, to a lesser extent, real estate-related securities and loans. We are the sole general partner of BREIT Operating Partnership L.P. (“BREIT OP”), a Delaware limited partnership, and we own all or substantially all of our assets through BREIT OP. We are externally managed by BX REIT Advisors L.L.C. (the “Adviser”). The Adviser is part of the real estate group of The Blackstone Group Inc. (“Blackstone”), a leading investment manager, which serves as our sponsor. As of June 30, 2019, we operated our business in five reportable segments: Multifamily, Industrial, Hotel, and Retail Properties, and real estate-related securities and loans. Multifamily includes various forms of rental housing including apartments, student housing and manufactured housing.

BREIT is a non-exchange traded, perpetual life real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that qualifies as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code for U.S. federal income tax purposes. We will generally not be subject to U.S. federal income taxes on our taxable income to the extent we annually distribute all of our net taxable income to stockholders and maintain our qualification as a REIT.

We had registered with the SEC an offering of up to $5.0 billion in shares of common stock (the “Initial Offering”) and accepted aggregate gross offering proceeds of $4.9 billion during the period January 1, 2017 to January 1, 2019. We subsequently registered with the SEC a follow-on offering of up to $12.0 billion in shares of common stock (in any combination of purchases of Class S, Class T, Class D and Class I shares of our common stock), consisting of up to $10.0 billion in shares in our primary offering and up to $2.0 billion in shares pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan, which we began using to offer shares of our common stock in January 2019 (the “Current Offering” and with the Initial Offering, the “Offering”). The share classes have different upfront selling commissions and ongoing stockholder servicing fees.

As of August 14, 2019, we had received net proceeds of $8.7 billion from the Offering and the sale of unregistered shares of our common stock. We have contributed the net proceeds to BREIT OP in exchange for a corresponding number of Class S, Class T, Class D, and Class I units. BREIT OP has primarily used the net proceeds to make investments in real estate and real estate-related securities and loans as further described below under “— Portfolio”. We intend to continue selling shares on a monthly basis.

We are not aware of any material trends or uncertainties, favorable or unfavorable, other than national economic conditions affecting real estate generally, that may be reasonably anticipated to have a material impact on either capital resources or the revenues or income to be derived from acquiring properties or real estate-related securities and loans, other than those disclosed in Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, our prospectus dated January 4, 2019 and filed with the SEC, as supplemented, and elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

Operating Results:

Raised $2.0 billion of net proceeds during the three months ended June 30, 2019 and a total $2.8 billion of net proceeds during the six months ended June 30, 2019.

Subsequent to June 30, 2019, we raised $1.3 billion of net proceeds from the issuance of our common stock.

Declared monthly net distributions totaling $90.9 million and $160.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively.

Year-to-date total return through June 30, 2019, without upfront selling commissions, was 5.1% for Class S, 5.1% for Class T, 5.4% for Class D, and 5.6% for Class I shares. Year to date total return assuming full upfront selling commissions was 1.6% for Class S, 1.6% for Class T, and 3.8% for Class D shares.

Investments:

Acquired 103 industrial, 36 multifamily, 21 hotel, and one retail property across 23 transactions with a total purchase price of $3.2 billion, inclusive of closing costs, during the three months ended June 30, 2019.  The acquisitions are consistent with our strategy of acquiring diversified, income producing, commercial real estate assets concentrated in high growth markets across the U.S.

Entered into an agreement to acquire a 64 million square foot income-oriented, high-quality, 95% leased industrial portfolio in well-located, in-fill locations for $5.3 billion, excluding closing costs. The transaction is expected to close in October 2019.

Sold the parking garage attached to the Hyatt Place San Jose Downtown property to a third party. Net proceeds from the sale were $44.3 million which resulted in a realized gain of $29.7 million.

Our 652 properties as of June 30, 2019 consisted of Multifamily (56% based on fair value), Industrial (33%), Hotel (10%), and Retail (1%) and our portfolio of real estate was concentrated in the following regions: South (39%), West (38%), East (15%), and Midwest (8%).

Made 55 investments in real estate-related securities and loans with a total cost basis of $1.2 billion consisting of commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”), corporate bonds and term loans of real estate-related companies and we held 163 positions as of June 30, 2019.

Investments in real estate-related securities and loans as of June 30, 2019 were diversified by credit rating — BB (41% based on fair value), BBB (26%), B (17%), Other (9%), A (6%), and AAA (1%) and collateral backing — Hospitality (53%), Office (17%), Multifamily (13%), Diversified (8%), Retail (7%), and Industrial (2%).

Financings:

Increased the capacity of the unsecured line of credit with a third party by $335.0 million to $685.0 million. The line of credit expires on February 22, 2022 and may be extended for up to one year. Interest under the line of credit is determined based on one-month U.S. dollar-denominated LIBOR plus 2.50%.

Continued our strategy of obtaining secured revolving credit capacity by adding an additional $128.8 million of revolving credit capacity.

Closed or assumed an aggregate $1.2 billion in property-level financing and obtained an additional $0.7 billion of financings secured by our investments in real estate-related securities and loans during the three months ended June 30, 2019.

Results of Operations

Due to the significant amount of acquisitions of real estate and real estate-related securities and loans we have made since we commenced principal operations in January 2017, our results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 are not comparable. However, certain properties in our portfolio were owned for both the full three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 and are discussed further below.

Same Property Results of Operations

We evaluate our consolidated results of operations on a same property basis, which allows us to analyze our property operating results excluding acquisitions during the periods under comparison. Properties in our portfolio are considered same property if they were owned for the full periods presented, otherwise they are considered non-same property. Recently developed properties that have not achieved stabilized occupancy (defined as 90% or greater) are excluded from same property results and are considered non-same property. We do not consider our real estate-related securities and loans segment to be same property.

For the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, our same property portfolio consisted of 52 multifamily, 204 industrial, 10 hotel, and two retail properties. For the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, our same property portfolio consisted of 44 multifamily, 55 industrial, 10 hotel, and two retail properties.

Same property operating results are measured by calculating same property net operating income (“NOI”). Same property NOI is a supplemental non-GAAP disclosure of our operating results that we believe is meaningful as it enables management to evaluate the impact of occupancy, rents, leasing activity, and other controllable property operating results at our real estate properties. We define same property NOI as operating revenues less operating expenses, which exclude (i) depreciation and amortization, (ii) interest expense and other non-property related revenue and expense items such as (a) general and administrative expenses, (b) management fee, (c) performance participation allocation, (d) affiliate incentive compensation awards, (e) interest income, and (f) income from real estate-related securities and loans.

Our same property NOI may not be comparable to that of other REITs and should not be considered to be more relevant or accurate in evaluating our operating performance than the current GAAP methodology used in calculating net income (loss).

Same Property – Rental Revenue

Same property rental revenue increased $1.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the corresponding period in 2018. The increase was due to a $2.6 million increase in base rental revenue partially offset by a $0.3 million decrease in tenant reimbursement income. Additionally, as a result of the adoption of ASU 2016-02, $0.4 million of bad debt expense was recorded as a component of same property rental revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2019. For the three months ended June 30, 2018, bad debt expense was recorded as a component of rental property operating expenses. For further detail on the adoption of ASU 2016-02 see Note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Same property hotel revenue increased $33 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the corresponding period in 2018. ADR for the hotels in our same property portfolio increased from $165 to $170 while occupancy decreased 2% and RevPAR increased from $138 to $139 during the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the corresponding period in 2018.

Same Property –Other Revenue

Same property other revenue decreased $0.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the corresponding period in 2018. The decrease in other revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2019 was primarily a result of lower non-recurring lease related fees such as late fees and termination fees at our multifamily properties.

Same Property – Rental Property Operating Expenses

Same property rental property operating expenses increased $0.9 million during the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared to the corresponding period in 2018. The increase in rental property operating expenses was primarily the result of a $1.5 million increase in real estate taxes, insurance and repair and maintenance expenses at our multifamily and industrial properties. The increase was partially offset by the presentation of bad debt expense as a component of rental revenue for the three months ended June 30,

2019 as a result of the adoption of ASU 2016-02. During the three months ended June 30, 2018, $0.6 million of bad debt expense was recorded as a component of rental property operating expense.

Same Property – Hotel Operating Expenses

Same property hotel operating expenses decreased $0.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared to the corresponding period in 2018. The decrease in hotel operating expenses was primarily the result of decreased expenses related to hurricane damage incurred in 2018 at certain of our hotels in Tampa and Orlando, Florida partially offset by an increase in payroll costs at certain hotels within our portfolio.

Same Property – Hotel Revenue

Same property hotel revenue increased $1.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to the corresponding period in 2018 primarily due to an increase of $0.7 million at our hotel property located in downtown Atlanta, Georgia. The Hyatt House Downtown Atlanta experienced increased occupancy, ADR, and RevPAR during the first quarter of 2019 as a result of increased demand primarily associated with the Super Bowl. The remaining increase in hotel revenue was due to an increase in ADR and RevPAR across the remaining hotel properties in our portfolio. ADR for the hotels increased from $163 to $172 while occupancy decreased 1% and RevPAR increased from $134 to $138 during the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the corresponding period in 2018.

40


Same Property –Other Revenue

Same property other revenue decreased $0.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the corresponding period in 2018. The decrease in other revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was primarily a result of lower non-recurring lease related fees, such as late fees and termination fees at our multifamily properties.

Same Property – Rental Property Operating Expenses

Same property rental property operating expenses decreased $0.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to the corresponding period in 2018. The decrease in rental property operating expenses was the result of the presentation of bad debt expense as a component of rental revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2019 as a result of the adoption of ASU 2016-02. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, $1.5 million of bad debt expense was recorded as a component of rental property operating expense. The change in presentation of bad debt expense was partially offset by an increase in real estate taxes and insurance expenses at our multifamily properties.

Same Property – Hotel Operating Expenses

Same property hotel operating expenses increased $0.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to the corresponding period in 2018. The increase in hotel operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was primarily a result of an increase in payroll costs at certain hotels within our portfolio, along with an increase in general operating expenses across the portfolio associated with the overall increase in revenues.

Other Operating Income and Expense Items

General and Administrative Expenses

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, general and administrative expenses increased $2.0 million and $3.1 million, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods in 2018, primarily due to various corporate level expenses that are related to the increased size of our portfolio.

Management Fee

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, the management fee increased by $13.2 million and $23.4 million, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods in 2018. The increase was due to the growth in our net asset value (“NAV”).

Performance Participation Allocation

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, the unrealized performance participation allocation accrual increased $20.4 million and $32.7 million, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods in 2018. The increase was the result of our increased NAV and a higher total return than the corresponding period in 2018. Such amount was allocated to the Special Limited Partner.

Depreciation and amortization

Depreciation and amortization increased significantly compared to the corresponding periods in 2018. The increase was driven by the growth in our portfolio, which increased from 314 properties as of June 30, 2018 to 652 properties as of June 30, 2019.

Income from Real Estate-Related Securities and Loans

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, income from real estate-related securities and loans increased $34.4 million and $82.8 million, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods in 2018. The increase was primarily due to the growth of our portfolio of investments in real estate-related securities and loans which increased from 74 positions as of June 30, 2018 to 163 positions as of June 30, 2019.

Gain from sale on disposition of real estate

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, we recorded $29.7 million of a gain from the disposition of real estate related to the sale of the parking garage attached to the Hyatt Place San Jose Downtown property. We did not sell any real estate in the corresponding periods in 2018.

41


Interest Ex pense

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, interest expense increased $53.4 million and $113.6 million, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods in 2018. The increase was primarily due to the growth in our portfolio of real estate and real estate-related securities and loans and the related indebtedness of such investments.

Non-same Property NOI

Due to our substantial fundraising and continued deployment of the net proceeds raised into new property acquisitions, non-same property NOI is not comparable period over period. We expect the non-same property NOI variance period over period to continue as we raise more proceeds from selling shares of our common stock and invest in additional new property acquisitions.

Funds from Operations, Adjusted Funds from Operations and Funds Available for Distribution

We believe funds from operations (“FFO”) is a meaningful supplemental non-GAAP operating metric. Our consolidated financial statements are presented under historical cost accounting which, among other things, requires depreciation of real estate investments to be calculated on a straight-line basis. As a result, our operating results imply that the value of our real estate investments will decrease evenly over a set time period. However, we believe that the value of real estate investments will fluctuate over time based on market conditions and as such, depreciation under historical cost accounting may be less informative. FFO is a standard REIT industry metric defined by the National Associational of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”). FFO, as defined by NAREIT and presented below, is calculated as net income or loss (computed in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”)), excluding (i) gains or losses from sales of depreciable real property, (ii) impairment write-downs on depreciable real property, plus (iii) real estate-related depreciation and amortization, and (iv) similar adjustments for non-controlling interests.

We also believe that adjusted FFO (“AFFO”) is a meaningful non-GAAP supplemental disclosure of our operating results. AFFO further adjusts FFO in order for our operating results to reflect the specific characteristics of our business by adjusting for items we believe are not related to our core operations. Our adjustments to FFO to arrive at AFFO include removing the impact of (i) straight-line rental income and expense, (ii) amortization of above- and below-market lease intangibles, (iii) amortization of mortgage premium/discount, (iv) unrealized (gains) losses from changes in the fair value of real estate-related securities and loans, (v) amortization of restricted stock awards, (vi) non-cash performance participation allocation or other non-cash incentive compensation even if repurchased by us, (vii) gain or loss on involuntary conversion, and (viii) similar adjustments for non-controlling interests.

We also believe funds available for distribution (“FAD”) is an additional meaningful non-GAAP supplemental disclosure that provides useful information for considering our operating results and certain other items relative to the amount of our distributions by removing the impact of certain non-cash items on our distributions. FAD is calculated as AFFO excluding (i) realized gains (losses) on real estate-related securities and loans and (ii) management fee paid in shares or BREIT OP units even if repurchased by us, and including deductions for (iii) recurring tenant improvements, leasing commissions, and other capital projects, (iv) stockholder servicing fees paid during the period, and (v) similar adjustments for non-controlling interests. FAD is not indicative of cash available to fund our cash needs and does not represent cash flows from operating activities in accordance with GAAP, as it excludes adjustments for working capital items and actual cash receipts from interest income recognized on real estate-related securities and loans. Cash flows from operating activities in accordance with GAAP would generally be adjusted for such items.  Furthermore, FAD is adjusted for stockholder servicing fees and recurring tenant improvements, leasing commissions, and other capital expenditures, which are not considered when determining cash flows from operating activities in accordance with GAAP.

Recurring tenant improvements and leasing commissions are related to second-generation leases and other capital expenditures required to maintain our investments. Second generation leases are for space that had previously been leased. Other capital expenditures exclude underwritten capital projects in conjunction with acquisitions and projects that we believe will enhance the value of our investments.

FFO, AFFO, and FAD should not be considered to be more relevant or accurate than the GAAP methodology in calculating net income (loss) or in evaluating our operating performance. In addition, FFO, AFFO, and FAD should not be considered as alternatives to net income (loss) as indications of our performance or as alternatives to cash flows from operating activities as indications of our liquidity, but rather should be reviewed in conjunction with these and other GAAP measurements. Further, FFO, AFFO, and FAD are not intended to be used as liquidity measures indicative of cash flow available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to make distributions to our stockholders.

Net Asset Value

The purchase price per share for each class of our common stock will generally equal our prior month’s NAV per share, as determined monthly, plus applicable selling commissions and dealer manager fees. Our NAV for each class of shares is based on the net asset values of our investments (including real estate-related securities and loans), the addition of any other assets (such as cash on hand) and the deduction of any liabilities, including the allocation/accrual of any performance participation, and any stockholder servicing fees applicable to such class of shares.

The following details the adjustments to reconcile GAAP stockholders’ equity to our NAV:

-

Accrued stockholder servicing fee represents the accrual for the full cost of the stockholder servicing fee for Class S, Class T, and Class D shares. Under GAAP, we accrued the full cost of the stockholder servicing fee payable over the life of each share (assuming such share remains outstanding the length of time required to pay the maximum stockholder servicing fee) as an offering cost at the time we sold the Class S, Class T, and Class D shares. Refer to Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 for further details of the GAAP treatment regarding the stockholder servicing fee. For purposes of NAV we recognize the stockholder servicing fee as a reduction of NAV on a monthly basis when such fee is paid.

-

The Adviser agreed to advance certain organization and offering costs on our behalf through December 31, 2017. Such costs are being reimbursed to the Adviser pro-rata basis over 60 months beginning January 1, 2018. Under GAAP, organization costs are expensed as incurred and offering costs are charged to equity as such amounts are incurred. For NAV, such costs will be recognized as a reduction to NAV as they are reimbursed ratably over 60 months.

-

Under GAAP, the affiliate incentive compensation awards are valued as of grant date and compensation expense is recognized over the service period on a straight-line basis with an offset to equity resulting in no impact to Stockholders’ Equity. For purposes of NAV, we value the awards based on the performance of the applicable period and deduct such value from NAV.

-

Our investments in real estate are presented under historical cost in our GAAP consolidated financial statements. Additionally, our mortgage notes, term loans, secured and unsecured revolving credit facilities, and repurchase agreements (“Debt”) are presented at their carrying value in our consolidated GAAP financial statements. As such, any increases or decreases in the fair market value of our investments in real estate or our Debt are not included in our GAAP results. For purposes of determining our NAV, our investments in real estate and our Debt are recorded at fair value.

-

In addition, we depreciate our investments in real estate and amortize certain other assets and liabilities in accordance with GAAP. Such depreciation and amortization is not recorded for purposes of determining our NAV.

Distributions

We declared monthly distributions for each class of our common stock which are generally paid 20 days after month-end. Each class of our common stock received the same gross distribution per share, which was $0.3170 per share for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The net distribution varies for each class based on the applicable stockholder servicing fee, which is deducted from the monthly distribution per share and paid directly to the applicable distributor. The table below details the net distribution for each of our share classes for the six months ended June 30, 2019:

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary needs for liquidity and capital resources are to fund our investments, make distributions to our stockholders, repurchase shares of our common stock pursuant to our share repurchase plan, repurchasing shares or redeeming BREIT OP units from the Adviser or the Special Limited Partner, pay our organization and offering costs (including reimbursement of organization and offering costs advanced by the Adviser), operating expenses, capital expenditures and to pay debt service on our outstanding indebtedness. Our operating expenses include, among other things, the management fee we pay to the Adviser (to the extent the Adviser elects to receive the management fee in cash), the performance participation allocation that BREIT OP pays to the Special Limited Partner (to the extent the Special Limited Partner elects to receive the performance participation in cash), general corporate expenses, and fees and expenses related to managing our properties and other investments. We do not have any office or personnel expenses as we do not have any employees.

Our cash needs for acquisitions and other investments will be funded primarily from the sale of shares of our common stock and through the assumption or incurrence of debt. Through June 30, 2019, our distributions have been funded entirely from cash flows from operations.

As of June 30, 2019, our indebtedness included loans secured by our properties, master repurchase agreements with Barclays Bank PLC (the “Barclays MRA”), Royal Bank of Canada (the “RBC MRA”), Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (the “Citi MRA”), Bank of America Merrill Lynch (the “BAML MRA”), Morgan Stanley Bank, N.A. (the “MS MRA”), MUFG Securities EMEA PLC (the “MUFG MRA”), and HSBC Bank USA, National Association (the “HSBC MRA”) secured by our investments in real estate-related securities.

On February 21, 2019, the Company entered into a $350.0 million unsecured line of credit with a third party. The line of credit expires on February 22, 2022 and may be extended for up to one year. Interest under the line of credit is determined based on a one-month U.S. dollar-denominated LIBOR plus 2.50%. During the second quarter of 2019, the Company increased the capacity of the unsecured line of credit to $685.0 million.

As of August 14, 2019, we had received net proceeds of $2.8 billion from selling an aggregate of 253,668,818 shares of our common stock in the Current Offering (consisting of 136,206,264 Class S shares, 11,545,459 Class T shares, 31,193,190 Class D shares, and 74,723,905 Class I shares).

Other potential future sources of capital include secured or unsecured financings from banks or other lenders and proceeds from the sale of assets. If necessary, we may use financings or other sources of capital in the event of unforeseen significant capital expenditures.

Cash flows provided by operating activities increased $89.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the corresponding period in the 2018 due to increased cash flows from the operations of the investments in real estate and income on our investments in real estate-related securities and loans.

Cash flows used in investing activities increased $0.8 billion during the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the corresponding period in 2018 primarily due to an increase of $0.4 billion in the acquisition of real estate investments and an increase in the acquisition of real estate-related securities and loans of $0.6 billion. Such increases were offset by $0.3 billion in proceeds from the disposition of real estate and settlement of real-estate related securities and loans.

Cash flows provided by financing activities increased $1.0 billion during the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the corresponding period in 2018 primarily due to a net increase of $1.3 billion from the issuance of our common stock and an increase of $0.3 billion in subscriptions received in advance, partially offset by a net decrease in borrowings of $0.5 billion.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with GAAP involves significant judgments and assumptions and requires estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain. These judgments will affect our reported amounts of assets and liabilities and our disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. With different estimates or assumptions, materially different amounts could be reported in our condensed consolidated financial statements. We consider our accounting policies over investments in real estate and lease intangibles, investments in real estate-related securities and loans, and revenue recognition to be our critical accounting policies. See Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 for further descriptions of such accounting policies.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 2 — “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to our condensed consolidated financial statements in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q for a discussion concerning recent accounting pronouncements.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We currently have no off-balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a material current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITAT IVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Indebtedness

We are exposed to interest rate risk with respect to our variable-rate indebtedness, whereas an increase in interest rates would directly result in higher interest expense costs. We seek to manage our exposure to interest rate risk by utilizing a mix of fixed and floating rate financings with staggered maturities and through interest rate protection agreements to fix or cap a portion of our variable rate debt. As of June 30, 2019, the outstanding principal balance of our variable rate indebtedness was $4.8 billion and consisted of mortgage notes, term loans, secured and unsecured revolving credit facilities, and repurchase agreements.

Certain of our mortgage notes, term loans, secured and unsecured revolving credit facilities and repurchase agreements are variable rate and indexed to one-month or 12-month U.S. Dollar denominated LIBOR. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, a 10% increase in one-month or 12-month U.S. Dollar denominated LIBOR would have resulted in increased interest expense of $2.6 million and $4.7 million, respectively.

Investments in real estate-related securities and loans

As of June 30, 2019, we held $3.5 billion of real estate-related securities and loans. Our investments in real estate-related securities and loans are primarily floating-rate and indexed to one-month or three-month U.S. denominated LIBOR and as such, exposed to interest rate risk. Our net income will increase or decrease depending on interest rate movements. While we cannot predict factors which may or may not affect interest rates, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, a 10% increase or decrease in the one-month or three-month U.S. denominated LIBOR rate would have resulted in an increase or decrease to income from real estate-related securities and loans of $1.4 million and $2.5 million, respectively.

We may also be exposed to market risk with respect to our investments in real estate-related securities and loans due to changes in the fair value of our investments. We seek to manage our exposure to market risk with respect to our investments in real estate-related securities and loans by making investments in securities and loans backed by different types of collateral and varying credit ratings. The fair value of our investments may fluctuate, thus the amount we will realize upon any sale of our investments in real estate-related securities and loans is unknown. As of June 30, 2019, the fair value at which we may sell our investments in real estate-related securities and loans is not known, but a 10% change in the fair value of our investments in real estate-related securities and loans may result in a change in the carrying value of our real estate-related securities and loans of $346.1 million.

ITEM 4.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

An evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q was made under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”). Based upon this evaluation, our CEO and CFO have concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report our disclosure controls and procedures (a) were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by SEC rules and forms and (b) included, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our “internal control over financial reporting” (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM  2.

UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUI TY SECURITIES AN D USE OF PROCEEDS

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

During the three months ended June 30, 2019, we sold equity securities that were not registered under the Securities Act as described below. As described in Note 11 to our condensed consolidated financial statements, the Adviser is entitled to an annual management fee payable monthly in cash, shares of common stock, or BREIT OP Units, in each case at the Adviser's election. For the three months ended June 30, 2019, the Adviser elected to receive its management fee in Class I shares and we issued 1,292,952 unregistered Class I shares to the Adviser in satisfaction of the management fee for April and May 2019. Additionally, we issued 746,844 unregistered Class I shares to the Adviser in July 2019 in satisfaction of the June 2019 management fee.

We have also sold Class I shares at the same transaction price as for Class I shares registered under the Current Offering to a non-U.S. feeder vehicle primarily created to hold Class I shares that offers interests in itself to non-U.S. persons. The offer and sale of Class I shares to the feeder vehicle is claimed to be exempt from the registration provisions of the Securities Act, by virtue of Section 4(a)(2) and Regulation S thereunder. During the three months ended June 30, 2019, we sold 63,560,547 unregistered Class I shares to such vehicle. We intend to use the net proceeds from such sales for the purposes set forth in the prospectus for our current offering and in a manner within the investment guidelines approved by our board of directors, who serve as fiduciaries to our stockholders.

Share Repurchases

Under our share repurchase plan, to the extent we choose to repurchase shares in any particular month, we will only repurchase shares as of the opening of the last calendar day of that month (each such date, a “Repurchase Date”). Repurchases will be made at the transaction price in effect on the Repurchase Date (which will generally be equal to our prior month’s NAV per share), except that shares that have not been outstanding for at least one year will be repurchased at 95% of the transaction price (an “Early Repurchase Deduction”) subject to certain limited exceptions. Settlements of share repurchases will be made within three business days of the Repurchase Date. The Early Repurchase Deduction will not apply to shares acquired through our distribution reinvestment plan.

The total amount of aggregate repurchases of Class S, Class T, Class D, Class I shares, and Class B Units is limited to no more than 2% of our aggregate NAV per month and no more than 5% of our aggregate NAV per calendar quarter.

Should repurchase requests, in our judgment, place an undue burden on our liquidity, adversely affect our operations or risk having an adverse impact on the company as a whole, or should we otherwise determine that investing our liquid assets in real properties or other illiquid investments rather than repurchasing our shares is in the best interests of the Company as a whole, then we may choose to repurchase fewer shares than have been requested to be repurchased, or none at all. Further, our board of directors may modify, suspend or terminate our share repurchase plan if it deems such action to be in our best interest and the best interest of our stockholders. In the event that we determine to repurchase some but not all of the shares submitted for repurchase during any month, shares repurchased at the end of the month will be repurchased on a pro rata basis.

If the transaction price for the applicable month is not made available by the tenth business day prior to the last business day of the month (or is changed after such date), then no repurchase requests will be accepted for such month and stockholders who wish to have their shares repurchased the following month must resubmit their repurchase requests.

During the three months ended June 30, 2019, we repurchased shares of our common stock in the following amounts, which represented all of the share repurchase requests received for the same period.

Includes 3,149,004 Class I shares previously issued to the Adviser as payment for the management fee. The shares were repurchased at the then current transaction price resulting in a total repurchase of $34.4 million. As of June 30, 2019, the Adviser owned 1.3 million of our Class I common shares.

(2)

Repurchases are limited under the share repurchase plan as described above. Under the share repurchase plan, we would have been able to repurchase up to an aggregate of $281.7 million of Class S, Class T, Class D, Class I shares, and Class B Units based on our March 31, 2019 NAV in the second quarter of 2019 (if such repurchase requests were made). Pursuant to the share repurchase plan, this amount resets at the beginning of each quarter.

The Special Limited Partner continues to hold 919,385 Class I units in BREIT OP. The redemption of Class I units are not considered part of our share repurchase plan as described above.
