WASHINGTON REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2018

(UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1: NATURE OF BUSINESS

Washington Real Estate Investment Trust (“Washington REIT”), a Maryland real estate investment trust, is a self-administered equity real estate investment trust, successor to a trust organized in 1960. Our business consists of the ownership and operation of income producing real estate properties in the greater Washington metro region. We own a diversified portfolio of office buildings, multifamily buildings and retail centers.

Federal Income Taxes

We believe that we qualify as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under Sections 856-860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and intend to continue to qualify as such. We have considered the provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "TCJA"), which was signed into law on December 22, 2017 and which generally takes effect for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2018, and do not expect the TCJA to have a material impact on our ability to continue to qualify as a REIT. To maintain our status as a REIT, we are, among other things, required to distribute 90% of our REIT taxable income (which is, generally, our ordinary taxable income, with certain modifications), excluding any net capital gains and any deductions for dividends paid to our shareholders on an annual basis. When selling a property, we generally have the option of (a) reinvesting the sales proceeds of property sold, in a way that allows us to defer recognition of some or all taxable gain realized on the sale, (b) distributing gains to the shareholders with no tax to us or (c) treating net long-term capital gains as having been distributed to our shareholders, paying the tax on the gain deemed distributed and allocating the tax paid as a credit to our shareholders. During 2018, we sold our interests in Braddock Metro Center, a 356,000 square foot office property in Alexandria, Virginia, and 2445 M Street, a 292,000 square foot office property in Washington, DC (see note 3).

Generally, and subject to our ongoing qualification as a REIT, no provisions for income taxes are necessary except for taxes on undistributed taxable income and taxes on the income generated by our taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRSs”). Our TRSs are subject to corporate federal and state income tax on their taxable income at regular statutory rates, or as calculated under the alternative minimum tax, as appropriate. As of both June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , our TRSs had a deferred tax asset of $1.4 million that was fully reserved. As of both June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , we had a deferred state and local tax liability of $0.6 million . This deferred tax liability is primarily related to temporary differences in the timing of the recognition of revenue, depreciation and amortization.

NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF PRESENTATIONS

Significant Accounting Policies

We have prepared our consolidated financial statements using the accounting policies described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 .

Pronouncements Adopted

In August 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (”FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging: Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities . The purpose of this updated guidance is to better align a company’s financial reporting for hedging activities with the economic objectives of those activities. The transition guidance provides companies with the option of early adopting the new standard using a modified retrospective transition method in any interim period after issuance of the update, or alternatively requires adoption for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. We adopted the new standard as of January 1, 2018 and the adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718) - Scope of Modification Accounting, which provides guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting. The new standard is effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and for interim periods therein, with early adoption permitted. We adopted the new standard as of January 1, 2018 and the adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments , which provides specific guidance on how cash receipts and payments should be presented and classified in the statement of cash flows for eight specific issues. The new standard is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and for interim periods therein, with early adoption permitted. We adopted the new standard as of January 1, 2018 and the adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Liabilities , which eliminates the requirement for public entities to disclose the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet. The new standard is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and for interim periods therein. We adopted the new standard as of January 1, 2018 and the adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASU 2014-09”), which creates a single source of revenue guidance. The new standard provides accounting guidance for all revenue arising from contracts with customers and affects all entities that enter into contracts to provide goods or services to their customers (unless the contracts are in the scope of other U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requirements, such as the leasing literature). The guidance also provides a model for the measurement and recognition of gains and losses on the sale of certain nonfinancial assets, such as property and equipment, including real estate. The new standard is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and for interim periods therein. We adopted the new standard for the fiscal year beginning on January 1, 2018. We evaluated the requirements for recognition of revenue from contracts with customers and measuring gains and losses on the sale of properties in accordance with ASU 2014-09 and concluded the adoption of the new standard did not impact in any material respect the amount or timing of our revenue recognition.

Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”) , which amends existing accounting standards for lease accounting, including by requiring lessees to recognize most leases on the balance sheet and making certain changes to lessor accounting. The new standard is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and for interim periods therein with early adoption permitted. Upon adoption, for leases in which we are the lessor, the lease contract will be separated into lease and non-lease components in accordance with the provisions outlined within ASU No. 2014-09. We currently expect to be able to use a practical expedient tentatively approved by the FASB that would allow us to account for the combined lease and non-lease components under the new leasing standard. For lease contracts with a duration of more than one year in which we are the lessee, the present value of future lease payments will be recognized on our balance sheet as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability. Also, only direct leasing costs may be capitalized under the new standard, while current accounting standards allow for the capitalization of indirect leasing costs. We are currently evaluating the impact ASU 2016-02 may have on Washington REIT’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments , which requires financial assets measured at an amortized cost basis, including trade receivables, to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The new standard is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and for interim periods therein with adoption one year earlier permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact the new standard may have on Washington REIT’s consolidated financial statements.

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the consolidated accounts of Washington REIT, our majority-owned subsidiaries and entities in which Washington REIT has a controlling interest. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

We have prepared the accompanying unaudited financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although we believe that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In addition, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods presented have been included. These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 .

Within these notes to the financial statements, we refer to the three months ended June 30, 2018 and June 30, 2017 as the “ 2018 Quarter” and the “ 2017 Quarter,” respectively, and the six months ended June 30, 2018 and June 30, 2017 as the “ 2018 Period” and the “ 2017 Period,” respectively.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash includes funds escrowed for tenant security deposits, real estate tax, insurance and mortgage escrows and escrow deposits required by lenders on certain of our properties to be used for future building renovations or tenant improvements.

Use of Estimates in the Financial Statements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTE 3: REAL ESTATE

Acquisition

Our current strategy includes recycling legacy assets that lack the income growth potential we seek and to invest in high-quality assets with compelling value-add returns through redevelopment opportunities in our existing portfolio and acquisitions that meet our stringent investment criteria. We focus on properties inside the Washington metro region’s Beltway, near major transportation nodes and in areas with strong employment drivers and superior growth demographics. We acquired the following property during the 2018 Period (the “2018 acquisition”):



Acquisition Date	Property	Type	Net Rentable Square Feet	Contract Purchase Price (In thousands)
January 18, 2018	Arlington Tower	Office	396,000	$	250,000

The results of operations from the 2018 acquisition are included in the condensed consolidated statements of income from the acquisition date and are as follows (in thousands):



	Three Months Ended June 30, 2018		Six Months Ended June 30, 2018
Real estate rental revenue	$	5,903	$	10,538
Net income	974		1,614

We accounted for the 2018 acquisition as an asset acquisition. Accordingly, we capitalized $0.6 million of costs directly associated with the acquisition. We measured the value of the acquired physical assets (land and building), in-place leases (tenant origination costs, leasing commissions, absorption costs and lease intangible assets/liabilities), and any other liabilities by allocating the total cost of the acquisition on a relative fair value basis.

We have recorded the total cost of the 2018 acquisition as follows (in thousands):



Land	$	63,970
Building	142,900
Tenant origination costs	13,625
Leasing commissions/absorption costs	27,465
Lease intangible assets	3,142
Lease intangible liabilities	(545		)
Total	$	250,557

The weighted remaining average life for the 2018 acquisition components above, other than land and building, are 77 months for tenant origination costs, 67 months for leasing commissions/absorption costs, 69 months for lease intangible assets and 84 months for lease intangible liabilities.

The difference in the total contract purchase price of $250.0 million for the 2018 acquisition and cash paid for the acquisition per the consolidated statements of cash flows of $106.4 million is primarily due to a mortgage note assumed and repaid at settlement ( $135.5 million ), an acquisition deposit made during 2017 ( $6.3 million ) and a net credit to the buyer for certain expenditures ( $1.8 million ).

Development/Redevelopment

We have properties under development/redevelopment and held for current or future development as of June 30, 2018 .

In the multifamily segment, we have The Trove, a multifamily development adjacent to The Wellington, and own land held for future multifamily development adjacent to Riverside Apartments. As of June 30, 2018 , we had invested $44.0 million and $21.2 million , including the costs of acquired land, in The Trove and the development adjacent to Riverside Apartments, respectively.

In the retail segment, we currently have a redevelopment project to add rentable space at Spring Valley Village. As of June 30, 2018 , we had invested $6.1 million in the redevelopment.

Properties Sold and Held for Sale

We intend to hold our properties for investment with a view to long-term appreciation, to engage in the business of acquiring, developing and owning our properties, and to make occasional sales of the properties that no longer meet our long-term strategy or return objectives and where market conditions for sale are favorable. The proceeds from the sales may be reinvested into other properties, used to fund development operations or to support other corporate needs, or distributed to our shareholders. Depreciation on these properties is discontinued when classified as held for sale, but operating revenues, other operating expenses and interest continue to be recognized until the date of sale.

We sold our interests in the following properties in 2018 and 2017 :



Disposition Date	Property Name	Segment	Rentable Square Feet/ Number of Units	Contract Sales Price (in thousands)		Gain on Sale (in thousands)
January 19, 2018	Braddock Metro Center	Office	356,000	$	93,000	$	—
June 28, 2018	2445 M Street	Office	292,000	101,600		2,495
		Total 2018	648,000	$	194,600	$	2,495

October 23, 2017	Walker House Apartments	Multifamily	212	$	32,200	$	23,838

We have fully transferred control of the assets associated with these disposed properties.

During the first quarter of 2018, we sold Braddock Metro Center, a 356,000 square foot office property in Alexandria, Virginia, for a contract sales price of $93.0 million . Due to then-ongoing negotiations to sell the property, we evaluated Braddock Metro Center for impairment and recognized a $9.1 million impairment charge during 2017 in order to reduce the carrying value of the property to its estimated fair value, less selling costs. We based this fair valuation on the expected sale price from a potential sale. There are few observable market transactions for similar properties. This fair valuation falls into Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy due to its reliance on a quoted price in a market that is not active.

During the first quarter of 2018, we executed a purchase and sale agreement to sell 2445 M Street, a 292,000 square foot office property in Washington, DC, for a contract sales price of $100.0 million , with settlement originally scheduled for the third quarter of 2018. During 2017, we evaluated 2445 M Street for impairment and recognized a $24.1 million impairment charge in order to reduce the carrying value of the property to its estimated fair value. Upon execution of the purchase and sale agreement, the property met the criteria for classification as held for sale. Due to the property’s classification as held for sale, we recorded an additional impairment charge of $1.9 million in the first quarter of 2018 in order to reduce the carrying value of the property to its estimated fair value, less estimated selling costs. We based this fair valuation on the expected sales price from a potential sale. There are few observable market transactions for similar properties. This fair valuation falls into Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy due to its reliance on a quoted price in a market that is not active. During the 2018 Quarter, we executed an amendment to the purchase and sale agreement which increased the contract sales price to $101.6 million and advanced the settlement date. On June 28, 2018, we sold 2445 M Street, recognizing a gain on sale of real estate of $2.5 million .

NOTE 4: UNSECURED LINE OF CREDIT PAYABLE

During the first quarter of 2018, we entered into an amended and restated credit agreement (“Credit Agreement”) which provides for a $700.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility (“Revolving Credit Facility”), the continuation of an existing $150.0 million unsecured term loan (“2015 Term Loan”) and an additional $250.0 million unsecured term loan (“2018 Term Loan”). The Revolving Credit Facility has a four -year term ending in March 2022 , with two six -month extension options, and expands our prior $600.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility that was set to expire in June 2019 . The Credit Agreement has an accordion feature that allows us to increase the aggregate facility to $1.5 billion , subject to the extent lenders agree to provide additional revolving loan commitments or term loans.

The Revolving Credit Facility bears interest at a rate of either one month LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 0.775% to 1.55% or the base rate plus a margin ranging from 0.0% to 0.55% (in each case depending upon Washington REIT’s credit rating). The base rate is the highest of the administrative agent’s prime rate, the federal funds rate plus 0.50% and the LIBOR market index rate plus 1.0% . In addition, the Revolving Credit Facility requires the payment of a facility fee ranging from 0.10% to 0.30% (depending on Washington REIT’s credit rating) on the $700.0 million committed revolving loan capacity, without regard to usage. As of June 30, 2018 , the interest rate on the Revolving Credit Facility is one month LIBOR plus 1.00% , the one month LIBOR is 2.09% and the facility fee is 0.20% .

The 2018 Term Loan increases and replaces the $150.0 million unsecured term loan, initially entered into on July 22, 2016 (“2016 Term Loan”), that was set to mature in July 2023 . The 2018 Term Loan matures in July 2023 and bears interest at a rate of either one month LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 0.85% to 1.75% or the base rate plus a margin ranging from 0.0% to 0.75% (in each case depending upon Washington REIT’s credit rating). As of June 30, 2018 , the interest rate of the 2018 Term Loan is one month LIBOR plus 110 basis points. We used the $100.0 million of additional proceeds from the 2018 Term Loan primarily to repay outstanding borrowings on the Revolving Credit Facility.

We had previously used interest rate derivatives to effectively fix the interest rate of the 2016 Term Loan. These interest rate derivatives now effectively fix the interest rate on a $150.0 million portion of the 2018 Term Loan at 2.31% . In March 2018, we entered into interest rate derivatives that commenced on June 29, 2018 to effectively fix the interest rate on the remaining $100.0 million of the 2018 Term Loan at 3.71% .

The amount of the Revolving Credit Facility’s unsecured line of credit unused and available at June 30, 2018 is as follows (in thousands):



Committed capacity	$	700,000
Borrowings outstanding	(169,000		)
Unused and available	$	531,000

We executed borrowings and repayments on the Revolving Credit Facility during the 2018 Period as follows (in thousands):



Balance at December 31, 2017	$	166,000
Borrowings	331,000
Repayments	(328,000		)
Balance at June 30, 2018	$	169,000

NOTE 5: DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

On July 22, 2016 , we entered into two forward interest rate swap arrangements with a total notional amount of $150.0 million to swap the floating interest rate under the 2016 Term Loan to an all-in fixed interest rate of 2.86% starting on March 31, 2017 and extending until the maturity of the 2016 Term Loan on July 21, 2023 . On March 29, 2018, we entered into the 2018 Term Loan, a $250.0 million floating interest rate term loan maturing on July 21, 2023, which increased and replaced the 2016 Term Loan. The interest rate swap arrangements that had effectively fixed the 2016 Term Loan now effectively fix the interest rate on a $150.0 million portion of the 2018 Term Loan at 2.31% . On March 29, 2018, we entered into four interest rate swap arrangements with a total notional amount of $100.0 million to effectively fix the interest rate on the remaining $100.0 million of the 2018 Term Loan at 3.71% , that commenced on June 29, 2018 and extending until the maturity of the 2018 Term Loan on July 21, 2023 .

The interest rate swaps qualify as cash flow hedges and are recorded at fair value in accordance with GAAP, based on discounted cash flow methodologies and observable inputs. We record the total change in fair value of the interest rate swap arrangements associated with our cash flow hedges in other comprehensive income. The resulting unrealized gain (loss) of the cash flow hedges was the only activity in other comprehensive income during the periods presented in our consolidated financial statements. We assess the effectiveness of our cash flow hedges both at inception and on an ongoing basis. The cash flow hedges were effective for all periods presented.

The fair values of the interest rate swaps as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , are as follows (in thousands):



					Fair Value
					Asset Derivatives
Derivative Instrument	Aggregate Notional Amount		Effective Date	Maturity Date	June 30, 2018		December 31, 2017
Interest rate swaps	$	150,000	October 15, 2015	March 15, 2021	$	4,130	$	1,987
Interest rate swaps	150,000		March 31, 2017	July 21, 2023	10,964		7,432
Interest rate swaps	100,000		June 29, 2018	July 21, 2023	613		—
	$	400,000			$	15,707	$	9,419

We record interest rate swaps on our consolidated balance sheets within prepaid expenses and other assets when in a net asset position and within accounts payable and other liabilities when in a net liability position. The interest rate swaps have been effective since inception. The net gains or losses on the effective swaps are recognized in other comprehensive income, as follows (in thousands):



	Three Months Ended June 30,					Six Months Ended June 30,
	2018		2017			2018		2017
Unrealized gain (loss) on interest rate hedges	$	2,223	$	(1,489	)	$	6,288	$	(754	)

Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on our variable-rate debt. During the next twelve months, we estimate that an additional $2.7 million will be reclassified as a decrease to interest expense.

We have agreements with each of our derivative counterparties that contain a provision whereby we could be declared in default on our derivative obligations if repayment of the underlying indebtedness is accelerated by the lender due to our default on the indebtedness. As of June 30, 2018 , the fair value of derivatives is in a net asset position of $15.7 million , which includes accrued interest but excludes any adjustment for nonperformance risk. As of June 30, 2018 , we have not posted any collateral related to these agreements.

Derivative instruments expose us to credit risk in the event of non-performance by the counterparty under the terms of the interest rate hedge agreement. We believe that we minimize our credit risk on these transactions by dealing with major, creditworthy financial institutions. We monitor the credit ratings of counterparties and our exposure to any single entity, thus minimizing our credit risk concentration.

NOTE 6: FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value

For assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, quantitative disclosures about the fair value measurements are required to be disclosed separately for each major category of assets and liabilities, as follows:

Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets

Level 2: Significant other observable inputs

Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs

The only assets or liabilities we had at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 that are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis are the assets held in the Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (“SERP”), which primarily consist of investments in mutual funds, and the interest rate swaps (see note 5 ).

We base the valuations related to the SERP on assumptions derived from significant other observable inputs and accordingly these valuations fall into Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

The valuation of the interest rate swaps is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each interest rate swap. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the interest rate swaps, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities. The fair values of interest rate swaps are determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash payments (or receipts) and the discounted expected variable cash receipts (or payments). The variable cash payments (or receipts) are based on an expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate curves. To comply with the provisions of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement , we incorporate credit valuation adjustments in the fair value measurements to appropriately reflect both our own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk. These credit valuation adjustments were concluded to not be significant inputs for the fair value calculations for the periods presented. In adjusting the fair value of our derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, we have considered the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements, such as the posting of collateral, thresholds, mutual puts and guarantees. The valuation of interest rate swaps fall into Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

The fair values of these assets and liabilities at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 were as follows (in thousands):



	June 30, 2018								December 31, 2017
	Fair Value		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Fair Value		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Assets:
SERP	$	1,257	$	—	$	1,257	$	—	$	1,858	$	—	$	1,858	$	—
Interest rate swaps	15,707		—		15,707		—		9,419		—		9,419		—

Financial Assets and Liabilities Not Measured at Fair Value

The following disclosures of estimated fair value were determined by management using available market information and established valuation methodologies, including discounted cash flow. Many of these estimates involve significant judgment. The estimated fair value disclosed may not necessarily be indicative of the amounts we could realize on disposition of the financial instruments. The use of different market assumptions or estimation methodologies could have an effect on the estimated fair value amounts. In addition, fair value estimates are made at a point in time and thus, estimates of fair value subsequent to June 30, 2018 may differ significantly from the amounts presented. The valuations of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash fall into Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy and the valuations of debt instruments fall into Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , the carrying values and estimated fair values of our financial instruments were as follows (in thousands):



	June 30, 2018				December 31, 2017
	Carrying Value		Fair Value		Carrying Value		Fair Value
Cash and cash equivalents	$	5,952	$	5,952	$	9,847	$	9,847
Restricted cash	2,301		2,301		2,776		2,776
Mortgage notes payable, net	93,071		94,298		95,141		97,181
Line of credit	169,000		169,000		166,000		166,000
Notes payable, net	994,778		1,021,036		894,358		931,377

NOTE 7: STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

Washington REIT maintains short-term (“STIP”) and long-term (“LTIP”) incentive plans that allow for stock based awards to officers and non-officer employees. Stock based awards are provided to officers and non-officer employees, as well as trustees, under the Washington Real Estate Investment Trust 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan which allows for awards in the form of restricted shares, restricted share units, options and other awards up to an aggregate of 2,400,000 shares over the ten -year period in which the plan will be in effect. Restricted share units are converted into shares of our stock upon full vesting through the issuance of new shares.

During the first quarter of 2018, we amended the LTIP for executive officers to eliminate the absolute total shareholder return (“TSR”) component and only utilize relative TSR in the measurement of market condition performance. Under the amended LTIP, relative TSR will be evaluated 50% relative to a defined population of peer companies and 50% relative to the FTSE NAREIT Diversified Index. Prior to this amendment, the LTIP utilized both absolute TSR and relative TSR, with each component having a 50% weighting, and relative TSR was evaluated relative only to a defined population of peer companies. The amendment is effective for three -year performance periods commencing on or after January 1, 2018.

Total Compensation Expense

Total compensation expense recognized in the consolidated financial statements for all outstanding share based awards was $1.8 million and $1.2 million for the 2018 Quarter and 2017 Quarter, respectively, and $3.4 million and $2.4 million for the 2018 Period and 2017 Period, respectively.

Restricted Share Awards

The total fair values of restricted share awards vested was $1.1 million and $2.0 million for the 2018 Period and 2017 Period, respectively.

The total unvested restricted share awards at June 30, 2018 was 480,657 shares, which had a weighted average grant date fair value of $28.57 per share. As of June 30, 2018 , the total compensation cost related to unvested restricted share awards was $10.5 million , which we expect to recognize over a weighted average period of 30 months.

NOTE 8: EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE

We determine “Basic earnings per share” using the two-class method as our unvested restricted share awards and units have non-forfeitable rights to dividends, and are therefore considered participating securities. We compute basic earnings per share by dividing net income attributable to the controlling interest less the allocation of undistributed earnings to unvested restricted share awards and units by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period.

We also determine “Diluted earnings per share” as the more dilutive of the two-class method or the treasury stock method with respect to the unvested restricted share awards. We further evaluate any other potentially dilutive securities at the end of the period and adjust the basic earnings per share calculation for the impact of those securities that are dilutive. Our dilutive earnings per share calculation includes the dilutive impact of operating partnership units under the if-converted method and our share based awards with performance conditions prior to the grant date and all market condition awards under the contingently issuable method.

The computations of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 were as follows (in thousands, except per share data):



	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,

NOTE 9: SEGMENT INFORMATION

We have three reportable segments: office, multifamily and retail. Office properties provide office space for various types of businesses and professions. Multifamily properties provide rental housing for individuals and families throughout the greater Washington metro region. Retail properties are typically grocery store-anchored neighborhood centers that include other small shop tenants or regional power centers with several junior box tenants.

We evaluate performance based upon net operating income from the combined properties in each segment. Our reportable operating segments are consolidations of similar properties. GAAP requires that segment disclosures present the measure(s) used by the chief operating decision maker for purposes of assessing each segment’s performance. Net operating income is a key measurement of our segment profit and loss. Net operating income is defined as real estate rental revenue less real estate expenses.

The following tables present revenues, net operating income, capital expenditures and total assets for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 from these segments, and reconcile net operating income of reportable segments to net income attributable to the controlling interests as reported (in thousands):

NOTE 10: SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

On May 4, 2018, we entered into eight separate equity distribution agreements (collectively, the “Equity Distribution Agreements”) with each of Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, BNY Mellon Capital Markets, LLC, Capital One Securities, Inc., Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc. and SunTrust Robinson Humphrey, Inc. relating to the issuance of up to $250.0 million of our common shares from time to time. Issuances of our common shares are made at market prices prevailing at the time of issuance. We may use net proceeds from the issuance of common shares under this program for general corporate purposes, including, without limitation, working capital, the acquisition, renovation, expansion, improvement, development or redevelopment of income producing properties or the repayment of debt. The Equity Distribution Agreements replaced our previous equity distribution agreements with Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, BNY Mellon Capital Markets, LLC, Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and RBC Capital Markets LLC, dated June 23, 2015. During the 2018 Period, we did not issue common shares under the Equity Distribution Agreements or the previous equity distribution agreements.

We have a dividend reinvestment program, whereby shareholders may use their dividends and optional cash payments to purchase common shares. The common shares sold under this program may either be common shares issued by us or common shares purchased in the open market. During the 2018 Quarter, we issued 19,112 common shares under this program at a weighted average price of $29.97 per share, raising $0.5 million in net proceeds. During the 2018 Period, we issued 56,191

common shares under the dividend reinvestment program at a weighted average price of $28.80 per share, raising $1.2 million in net proceeds.

General

Introductory Matters

We provide our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) in addition to the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes to assist readers in understanding our results of operations and financial condition. We organize the MD&A as follows:


•	Overview. Discussion of our business outlook, operating results, investment activity, financing activity and capital requirements to provide context for the remainder of MD&A.


•	Results of Operations. Discussion of our financial results comparing the 2018 Quarter to the 2017 Quarter and the 2018 Period to the 2017 Period.


•	Liquidity and Capital Resources. Discussion of our financial condition and analysis of changes in our capital structure and cash flows.


•	Funds From Operations . Calculation of NAREIT Funds From Operations (“NAREIT FFO”), a non-GAAP supplemental measure to net income.


•	Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates. Descriptions of accounting policies that reflect significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

When evaluating our financial condition and operating performance, we focus on the following financial and non-financial indicators:


•	Net operating income (“NOI”) , calculated as set forth below under the caption "Results of Operations - Net Operating Income." NOI is a non-GAAP supplemental measure to net income.


•	Funds From Operations (“NAREIT FFO”) , calculated as set forth below under the caption “Funds from Operations.” NAREIT FFO is a non-GAAP supplemental measure to net income.


•	Ending occupancy , calculated as occupied square footage as a percentage of total square footage as of the last day of that period.


•	Leased percentage , calculated as the percentage of available physical net rentable area leased for our office and retail segments and percentage of apartments leased for our multifamily segment.


•	Leasing activity , including new leases, renewals and expirations.

For purposes of evaluating comparative operating performance, we categorize our properties as “same-store”, “non-same-store” or discontinued operations. Same-store properties include properties that were owned for the entirety of the years being compared, and exclude properties under redevelopment or development and properties acquired, sold or classified as held for sale during the years being compared. We define development properties as those for which we have planned or ongoing major construction activities on existing or acquired land pursuant to an authorized development plan. We consider a property's development activities to be complete when the property is ready for its intended use. The property is categorized as same-store when it has been ready for its intended use for the entirety of the years being compared. We define redevelopment properties as those for which we have planned or ongoing significant development and construction activities on existing or acquired buildings pursuant to an authorized plan, which has an impact on current operating results, occupancy and the ability to lease space with the intended result of a higher economic return on the property. We categorize a redevelopment property as same-store when redevelopment activities have been complete for the majority of each year being compared.

Overview

Business Outlook

Our revenues are derived primarily from the ownership and operation of income producing properties in the greater Washington metro region. As of June 30, 2018 , we owned a diversified portfolio of 48 properties, totaling approximately 6.1 million square feet of commercial space and 4,268 multifamily units, and land held for development. These 48 properties consisted of 19 office properties, 16 retail centers and 13 multifamily properties.

Operating Results

Net income attributable to the controlling interests, NOI and NAREIT FFO for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 were as follows (in thousands):



	Three Months Ended June 30,
	2018		2017		$ Change		% Change
Net income attributable to the controlling interests	$	10,750	$	7,864	$	2,886	36.7	%
NOI ⁽¹⁾	$	57,103	$	54,765	$	2,338	4.3	%
NAREIT FFO ⁽²⁾	$	38,133	$	37,108	$	1,025	2.8	%

⁽¹⁾ See page 26 of the MD&A for a reconciliation of NOI to net income.
⁽²⁾ See page 35 of the MD&A for a reconciliation of NAREIT FFO to net income.

The higher net income attributable to the controlling interests is primarily due to gain on sale of real estate ($2.5 million) and higher NOI ($2.3 million), partially offset by higher interest expense ($1.3 million) and higher depreciation and amortization expenses ($0.6 million) during the 2018 Quarter.

The higher NOI is primarily due to income generated from Arlington Tower ($4.6 million), which was acquired after the 2017 Quarter, and higher NOI from same-store properties ($1.0 million), partially offset by property sales during 2017 and 2018 ($2.9 million). The higher same-store NOI is explained in further detail beginning on page 26 (Results of Operations - 2018 Quarter Compared to 2017 Quarter). Same-store ending occupancy increased to 93.3% as of June 30, 2018 , from 92.7% one year ago, primarily due to higher occupancy in office segment.

The higher NAREIT FFO is primarily attributable to the higher NOI ($2.3 million), partially offset by higher interest expense ($1.3 million).

Investment Activity

Significant investment transactions during the 2018 Period included the following:


•	The disposition of 2445 M Street, a 292,000 square foot office property in Washington, DC, for a contract sales price of $101.6 million . We recognized a gain on sale of $2.5 million related to the transaction.


•	The acquisition of Arlington Tower, a 396,000 net rentable square foot office building in Arlington, Virginia, for a contract purchase price of $250.0 million. We incurred $0.6 million of acquisition costs related to this transaction.


•	The disposition of Braddock Metro Center, a 356,000 net rentable square foot office building in Alexandria, Virginia, for a contract sales price of $93.0 million.

Financing Activity

Significant financing transactions during the 2018 Period included the following:

•

The execution of an amended, extended and expanded $700 million unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) and refinancing of an existing $150.0 million seven-year unsecured term loan with a $250.0 million five-year unsecured term loan. We recognized a $1.2 million non-cash loss on extinguishment of debt related to the write-off of unamortized loan origination costs.


•	The execution of eight separate equity distribution agreements on May 4, 2018 relating to the issuance of up to $250.0 million of our common shares from time to time. Issuances of our common shares are made at market prices prevailing at the time of issuance. The equity distribution agreements executed on May 4, 2018 replaced our previous equity distribution agreements, dated June 23, 2015.

As of June 30, 2018 , the interest rate on the Revolving Credit Facility was one month LIBOR plus 1.00% and the facility fee was 0.20%. As of July 26, 2018 , our Revolving Credit Facility has a borrowing capacity of $524.0 million .

Capital Requirements

We do not have any debt maturities during 2018, but expect to prepay without penalty the $31.7 million mortgage note secured by Kenmore Apartments during the third quarter of 2018. We expect to have additional capital requirements as set forth on page 32 (Liquidity and Capital Resources - Capital Requirements).

Results of Operations

The discussion that follows is based on our consolidated results of operations for the 2018 Quarter and Period and 2017 Quarter and Period. The ability to compare one period to another is significantly affected by acquisitions completed and dispositions made during 2018 and 2017 (see note 3 to the consolidated financial statements).

Net Operating Income

NOI, defined as real estate rental revenue less real estate expenses, is a non-GAAP measure. NOI is calculated as net income, less non-real estate revenue and the results of discontinued operations (including the gain on sale, if any), plus interest expense, depreciation and amortization, general and administrative expenses, acquisition costs, real estate impairment and gain or loss on extinguishment of debt. We believe that NOI is useful as a performance measure because, when compared across periods, NOI reflects the impact on operations of trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs on an unleveraged basis, providing perspective not immediately apparent from net income. NOI excludes certain components from net income in order to provide results more closely related to a property’s results of operations. For example, interest expense is not necessarily linked to the operating performance of a real estate asset. In addition, depreciation and amortization, because of historical cost accounting and useful life estimates, may distort operating performance at the property level. As a result of the foregoing, we provide NOI as a supplement to net income, calculated in accordance with GAAP. NOI does not represent net income or income from continuing operations, in either case calculated in accordance with GAAP. As such, it should not be considered an alternative to these measures as an indication of our operating performance. A reconciliation of NOI to net income follows.

2018 Quarter Compared to 2017 Quarter

The following table reconciles NOI to net income attributable to the controlling interests and provides the basis for our discussion of our consolidated results of operations and NOI in the 2018 Quarter compared to the 2017 Quarter. All amounts are in thousands, except percentage amounts.

•	Retail : Increase primarily due to higher bad debt ($0.2 million).

Other Income and Expenses

Depreciation and Amortization : Increase primarily due to the acquisition of Arlington Tower ($3.6 million) in the first quarter of 2018 and Watergate 600 ($0.8 million) in 2017, partially offset by lower depreciation and amortization at same-store properties ($1.0 million) and the disposition of 2445 M Street ($1.4 million), Braddock Metro Center ($1.2 million) and Walker House Apartments ($0.1 million).

Gain on sale of real estate: Gain during the 2018 Quarter due to completion of the sale of 2445 M Street.

Total	$	13,321		$	12,053		$	1,268		10.5	%


•	Notes payable : Increase primarily due to executing the $250.0 million term loan in March 2018, which increased and replaced a $150 million term loan.


•	Line of credit : Increase primarily due to weighted average borrowings of $260.8 million and a weighted average interest rate of 2.9% during the 2018 Quarter, as compared to $220.9 million and 2.0%, respectively, during the 2017 Quarter. The higher weighted average borrowings are primarily due to using borrowings on the line of credit to partially fund the acquisition of Arlington Tower.


•	Capitalized interest : Increase primarily due to capitalization of interest on spending related to the Trove, the multifamily development adjacent to The Wellington.

•	Multifamily : Increase primarily due to higher custodial ($0.1 million), utilities ($0.2 million) and administrative ($0.2 million) expenses.


•	Retail : Increase primarily due to higher bad debt ($0.2 million), real estate tax ($0.1 million), snow removal ($0.1 million) and marketing ($0.1 million) expenses.

Other Income and Expenses

Depreciation and Amortization : Increase primarily due to the acquisition of Arlington Tower ($6.7 million) and Watergate 600 ($3.8 million), partially offset by lower depreciation and amortization at same-store properties ($0.6 million) and dispositions of 2445 M Street ($2.6 million), Braddock Metro Center ($2.5 million) and Walker House Apartments ($0.3 million).

General and administrative expenses: Increase primarily due to higher share-based compensation ($1.0 million) primarily due to a one-time equity award to the CEO during the second quarter of 2017 and a higher volume of forfeitures during the 2017 Period, partially offset by lower estimated cash incentive compensation ($0.8 million) in 2018 Period.

Real estate impairment: During the first quarter of 2018, 2445 M Street met the criteria for classification as held for sale. We consequently recorded an impairment charge of $1.9 million during that quarter in order to reduce the carrying value of the property to its estimated fair value, less estimated selling costs (see note 3 to the consolidated financial statements).

Gain on sale of real estate: Gain during the 2018 Period due to completion of the sale of 2445 M Street. An amendment to the purchase and sale agreement executed during the 2018 Quarter increased the contract sales price to $101.6 million and advanced the settlement date, which was originally scheduled for the third quarter of 2018, to June 28, 2018.

Loss on extinguishment of debt: We recognized a $1.2 million non-cash loss on extinguishment of debt during the 2018 Period related to the write-off of unamortized loan origination costs associated with the refinancing of an existing $150.0 million seven-year unsecured term loan with a $250.0 million five-year unsecured term loan and the execution of an amended, extended and expanded $700 million unsecured revolving credit facility (see note 4 to the consolidated financial statements).

Interest Expense : Interest expense by debt type for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 were as follows (in thousands):



	Six Months Ended June 30,
Debt Type	2018			2017			$ Change			% Change
Notes payable	$	19,416		$	18,596		$	820		4.4	%

Total	$	26,148		$	23,458		$	2,690		11.5	%


•	Notes payable : Increase primarily due to executing the $250.0 million term loan in March 2018, which increased and replaced the $150 million term loan.


•	Mortgage notes payable : Decrease primarily due to the repayment of the mortgage notes secured by the Army Navy Building in 2017 Period.


•	Line of credit : Increase primarily due to weighted average borrowings of $285.6 million and a weighted average interest rate of 2.8% during the 2018 Period, as compared to $170.0 million and 1.9%, respectively, during the 2017 Period. The higher weighted average borrowings are primarily due to using borrowings on the line of credit to partially fund the acquisition of Arlington Tower.


•	Capitalized interest : Increase primarily due to capitalization of interest on spending related to the Trove, the multifamily development adjacent to The Wellington.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Capital Requirements

As of the end of the second quarter of 2018 , we summarize our full-year 2018 capital requirements as follows:


•	Funding dividends and distributions to our shareholders;


•	$31.7 million to repay or refinance a mortgage note that is prepayable without penalty in 2018;


•	Approximately $80 - $90 million to invest in our existing portfolio of operating assets, including approximately $30 - $35 million to fund tenant-related capital requirements and leasing commissions;


•	Approximately $40 - $45 million to invest in our development and redevelopment projects; and


•	Funding for potential property acquisitions throughout 2018, offset by proceeds from potential property dispositions.

Debt Financing

Our total debt at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 was as follows (in thousands):



	June 30, 2018			December 31, 2017
Mortgage notes payable	$	90,368		$	91,914

Debt issuance costs, net	(4,084		)	(4,220		)
Total	$	1,256,849		$	1,155,499

Mortgage Notes Payable

At June 30, 2018 , our mortgage notes payable bore an effective weighted average fair value interest rate of 4.5% and had an estimated weighted average maturity of 2.7 years. We may either initiate secured mortgage debt or assume mortgage debt from time-to-time in conjunction with property acquisitions.

Our mortgage notes contain covenants with which we must comply. Failure to comply with any of the covenants under our mortgage notes could result in a default under one or more of our debt instruments. This could cause our debt holders to accelerate the timing of payments and would therefore have a material adverse effect on our business, operations, financial condition and liquidity. As of June 30, 2018 , we were in compliance with our mortgage notes covenants.

Line of Credit and Term Loan

Our primary source of liquidity is our Revolving Credit Facility. During the first quarter of 2018, we entered into an amended and restated credit agreement (“Credit Agreement”) which provides for a $700.0 million Revolving Credit Facility, the continuation of an existing $150.0 million unsecured term loan (“2015 Term Loan”) and an additional $250.0 million unsecured term loan (“2018 Term Loan”). The Revolving Credit Facility has a four-year term ending in March 2022, with two six-month extension options, and expands our prior $600.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility that was set to expire in June 2019 . The Credit Agreement has an accordion feature that allows us to increase the aggregate facility to $1.5 billion , subject to the extent lenders agree to provide additional revolving loan commitments or term loans. The Revolving Credit Facility bears interest at a rate of either one month LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 0.775% to 1.55% or the base rate plus a margin ranging from 0.0% to 0.55% (in each case depending upon Washington REIT’s credit rating). The base rate is the highest of the administrative agent’s prime rate, the federal funds rate plus 0.50% and the LIBOR market index rate plus 1.0% . In addition, the Revolving Credit Facility requires the payment of a facility fee ranging from 0.10% to 0.30% (depending on Washington REIT’s credit rating) on the $700.0 million committed revolving loan capacity, without regard to usage. As of June 30, 2018 , the interest rate on the Revolving Credit Facility is one month LIBOR plus 1.00% and the facility fee is 0.20% . We had $169.0 million in borrowings outstanding as of June 30, 2018 .

The 2018 Term Loan increases and replaces the $150.0 million unsecured term loan, initially entered into on July 22, 2016 (“2016 Term Loan”), that was set to mature in July 2023. The 2018 Term Loan matures in July 2023 and bears interest at a rate of either one month LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 0.85% to 1.75% or the base rate plus a margin ranging from 0.0% to 0.75% (in each case depending upon Washington REIT’s credit rating). As of June 30, 2018 , the interest rate of the 2018 Term Loan is one

month LIBOR plus 110 basis points. We used the $100.0 million of additional proceeds from the 2018 Term Loan primarily to repay borrowings on the Revolving Credit Facility.

The Revolving Credit Facility contains financial and other covenants with which we must comply. Failure to comply with any of the covenants under the Revolving Credit Facility or other debt instruments could result in a default under one or more of our debt instruments. This could cause our lenders to accelerate the timing of payments and could therefore have a material adverse effect on our business, operations, financial condition and liquidity. In addition, our ability to draw on the Revolving Credit Facility or incur other unsecured debt in the future could be restricted by the loan covenants. As of June 30, 2018 , we were in compliance with our loan covenants.

Notes Payable

We generally issue unsecured notes to fund our real estate assets long-term. In issuing future unsecured notes, we intend to ladder the maturities of our debt to mitigate exposure to interest rate risk in future years.

Our unsecured notes contain covenants with which we must comply. Failure to comply with any of the covenants under our unsecured notes could result in a default under one or more of our debt instruments. This could cause our debt holders to accelerate the timing of payments and would therefore have a material adverse effect on our business, operations, financial condition and liquidity. As of June 30, 2018 , we were in compliance with our unsecured notes covenants. In addition, our ability to draw on our Revolving Credit Facility or incur other unsecured debt in the future could be restricted by our unsecured note covenants.

From time to time, we may seek to repurchase and cancel our outstanding notes through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such repurchases, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors.

Common Equity

We have authorized for issuance 100.0 million common shares, of which 78.7 million shares were outstanding at June 30, 2018 .

Preferred Equity

Washington REIT’s board of trustees can, at its discretion, authorize the issuance of up to 10.0 million preferred shares. The ability to issue preferred equity provides Washington REIT an additional financing tool that may be used to raise capital for future acquisitions or other business purposes. As of June 30, 2018 , no preferred shares had been issued.

Dividends

We currently declare dividends quarterly at a rate of $0.30 per share. The maintenance of our dividend level is subject to various factors reviewed by the board of trustees in its discretion. These factors include our results of operations, the availability of cash and the REIT distribution requirements, which require at least 90% of our REIT taxable income to be distributed to shareholders on an annual basis. When setting the dividend level, our board of trustees looks in particular at trends in our level of funds from operations, together with associated recurring capital improvements, tenant improvements, leasing commissions and incentives, and adjustments to straight-line rents to reflect cash rents received.

Our dividend and distribution payments for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 are as follows (in thousands):



	Three Months Ended June 30,				Change					Six Months Ended June 30,				Change
	2018		2017		$			%		2018		2017		$			%
Common dividends	$	23,702	$	23,152	$	550		2.4	%	$	71,002	$	68,173	$	2,829		4.1	%
Distributions to noncontrolling interests	4		23		(19		)	(82.6	)%	7		59		(52		)	(88.1	)%

Dividends paid during the 2018 Quarter and Period increased primarily due to the issuance of 3.6 million common shares during 2017.

Historical Cash Flows

Cash flows from operations are an important factor in our ability to sustain our dividend at its current rate. If our cash flows from operations were to decline significantly from current levels, we may have to reduce our dividend. Consolidated cash flow information is summarized as follows (in thousands):



	Six Months Ended June 30,						Change
	2018			2017			$			%
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	70,705		$	65,161		$	5,544		8.5	%
Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities	34,637			(171,535		)	206,172			120.2	%
Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities	(109,712		)	103,495			(213,207		)	206.0	%

Cash provided by operating activities increased primarily due to the acquisitions of Arlington Tower and Watergate 600, partially offset by higher interest payments and the sales of Braddock Metro Center and Walker House Apartments.

Cash provided by investing activities increased primarily due to the proceeds from the sales of Braddock Metro Center and 2445 M Street during the 2018 Period and the acquisition of Watergate 600 during the 2017 Period, partially offset by the acquisition of Arlington Tower during the 2018 Period.

Cash used in financing activities increased primarily due to lower net borrowings on the Revolving Credit Facility, lower proceeds from equity issuances, the repayment of the 2016 Term Loan and the repayment of a mortgage note at Arlington Tower’s settlement during the 2018 Period, partially offset by proceeds from the 2018 Term Loan during the 2018 Period and the repayment of the mortgage note secured by Army Navy Building during the 2017 Period.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements as of June 30, 2018 that are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Funds From Operations

NAREIT FFO is a widely used measure of operating performance for real estate companies. We provide NAREIT FFO as a supplemental measure to net income calculated in accordance with GAAP. Although NAREIT FFO is a widely used measure of operating performance for REITs, NAREIT FFO does not represent net income calculated in accordance with GAAP. As such, it should not be considered an alternative to net income as an indication of our operating performance. In addition, NAREIT FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP, nor does it represent cash available to pay distributions and should not be considered as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities, determined in accordance with GAAP, as a measure of our liquidity. In its April, 2002 White Paper, the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, Inc. (“NAREIT”) defines NAREIT FFO as net income (computed in accordance with GAAP) excluding gains (or losses) associated with sales of properties; impairments of depreciable real estate, and real estate depreciation and amortization. We consider NAREIT FFO to be a standard supplemental measure for REITs because it facilitates an understanding of the operating performance of our properties without giving effect to real estate depreciation and amortization, which historically assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values have instead historically risen or fallen with market conditions, we believe that NAREIT FFO more accurately provides investors an indication of our ability to incur and service debt, make capital expenditures and fund other needs. Our NAREIT FFO may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs. These other REITs may not define the term in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or may interpret the current NAREIT definition differently.

The following table provides the calculation of our NAREIT FFO and a reconciliation of NAREIT FFO to net income for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 (in thousands):

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

We base the discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. We discuss the most critical estimates in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 filed with the SEC on February 20, 2018.

ITEM 3: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The principal material financial market risk to which we are exposed is interest rate risk. Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to refinancing long-term fixed rate obligations, the opportunity cost of fixed rate obligations in a falling interest rate environment and our variable rate line of credit.

The table below presents principal, interest and related weighted average fair value interest rates by year of maturity, with respect to debt outstanding on June 30, 2018 .

⁽¹⁾ Includes $150.0 million and $250.0 million term loans with floating interest rates. The $150.0 million term loan is effectively fixed at 2.72% by interest rate swap arrangements. Of the $250.0 million term loan, a $150.0 million portion is effectively fixed at 2.31% by interest rate swap arrangements and a $100.0 million portion is effectively fixed at 3.71% by interest rate swap arrangements that commenced on June 29, 2018.

⁽²⁾ Excludes net premiums of $2.9 million and net unamortized debt issuance costs of $0.2 million at June 30, 2018 .

On September 15, 2015 , we entered into two interest rate swap arrangements with a total notional amount of $150.0 million to swap the floating interest rate under the 2015 Term Loan to an all-in fixed interest rate of 2.72% starting on October 15, 2015 and extending until the maturity of the 2015 Term Loan on March 15, 2021 . On July 22, 2016 , we entered into two forward interest rate swap arrangements with a total notional amount of $150.0 million to swap the floating interest rate under the 2016 Term Loan to an all-in fixed interest rate of 2.86% , starting on March 31, 2017 and extending until the maturity of the 2016 Term Loan on July 21, 2023 . On March 29, 2018, we executed the 2018 Term Loan with a floating interest rate that matures on July 21, 2023. The 2018 Term Loan increases and replaces the 2016 Term Loan. The interest rate swap arrangements that had effectively fixed the interest rate on the 2016 Term Loan now effectively fix a $150.0 million portion of the 2018 Term Loan at 2.31% . Also on March 29, 2018, we entered into four forward interest swap arrangements with a total notional amount of $100.0 million to swap the floating interest rate under the remaining $100.0 million portion of the 2018 Term Loan at 3.71% , that commenced on June 29, 2018 and extending until the maturity of the 2018 Term Loan on July 21, 2023.

We entered into the interest rate swap arrangements designated and qualifying as cash flow hedges to reduce our exposure to the variability in future cash flows attributable to changes in interest rates. Derivative instruments expose us to credit risk in the event of non-performance by the counterparty under the terms of the interest rate hedge agreement. We believe that we minimize our credit risk on these transactions by dealing with major, creditworthy financial institutions. As part of our ongoing control procedures, we monitor the credit ratings of counterparties and our exposure to any single entity, thus minimizing our credit risk concentration.

The following table sets forth information pertaining to interest rate swap contracts in place as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 and their respective fair values (dollars in thousands):

We enter into debt obligations primarily to support general corporate purposes including acquisition of real estate properties, capital improvements and working capital needs.

As the majority of our outstanding debt is long-term, fixed rate debt, our interest rate risk has not changed significantly from what was disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 filed with the SEC on February 20, 2018. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Liquidity and Capital Resources – Debt Financing.”

ITEM 4: CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Securities Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Accounting Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Accounting Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Accounting Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

There have not been any changes in Washington REIT’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined by Rule 13a-15(f)) that occurred during the period covered by the report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, Washington REIT’s internal control over financial reporting.
