EXPLANATORY NOTE

This report combines the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2020 of Corporate Office Properties Trust (“COPT”) and subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) and Corporate Office Properties, L.P. (“COPLP”) and subsidiaries (collectively, the “Operating Partnership”). Unless stated otherwise or the context otherwise requires, “we,” “our,” and “us” refer collectively to COPT, COPLP and their subsidiaries.

COPT is a real estate investment trust, or REIT, and the sole general partner of COPLP. As of September 30, 2020, COPT owned 98.6% of the outstanding common units in COPLP; the remaining common units and all of the outstanding COPLP preferred units were owned by third parties. As the sole general partner of COPLP, COPT controls COPLP and can cause it to enter into major transactions including acquisitions, dispositions and refinancings and cause changes in its line of business, capital structure and distribution policies.

There are a few differences between the Company and the Operating Partnership which are reflected in this Form 10-Q. We believe it is important to understand the differences between the Company and the Operating Partnership in the context of how the two operate as an interrelated, consolidated company. COPT is a REIT whose only material asset is its ownership of partnership interests of COPLP. As a result, COPT does not conduct business itself, other than acting as the sole general partner of COPLP, issuing public equity and guaranteeing certain debt of COPLP. COPT itself is not directly obligated under any indebtedness but guarantees some of the debt of COPLP. COPLP owns substantially all of the assets of COPT either directly or through its subsidiaries, conducts almost all of the operations of the business and is structured as a limited partnership with no publicly traded equity. Except for net proceeds from public equity issuances by COPT, which are contributed to COPLP in exchange for partnership units, COPLP generates the capital required by COPT’s business.

Noncontrolling interests, shareholders’ equity and partners’ capital are the main areas of difference between the consolidated financial statements of COPT and those of COPLP. The common limited partnership interests in COPLP not owned by COPT are accounted for as partners’ capital in COPLP’s consolidated financial statements and as noncontrolling interests in COPT’s consolidated financial statements. The only other significant differences between the consolidated financial statements of COPT and those of COPLP are assets in connection with a non-qualified elective deferred compensation plan and the corresponding liability to the plan’s participants that are held directly by COPT.



We believe combining the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q of the Company and the Operating Partnership into this single report results in the following benefits:
•combined reports better reflect how management, investors and the analyst community view the business as a single operating unit;
•combined reports enhance investors’ understanding of the Company and the Operating Partnership by enabling them to view the business as a whole and in the same manner as management;
•combined reports are more efficient for the Company and the Operating Partnership and result in savings in time, effort and expense; and
•combined reports are more efficient for investors by reducing duplicative disclosure and providing a single document for their review.

To help investors understand the differences between the Company and the Operating Partnership, this report presents the following separate sections for each of the Company and the Operating Partnership:
•consolidated financial statements;
•the following notes to the consolidated financial statements:
•Note 3, Fair Value Measurements of COPT and subsidiaries and COPLP and subsidiaries;
•Note 8, Prepaid Expenses and Other Assets, Net of COPT and subsidiaries and COPLP and subsidiaries; and
•Note 16, Earnings per Share of COPT and subsidiaries and Earnings per Unit of COPLP and subsidiaries;
•“Item 2: Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Liquidity and Capital Resources of COPT”; and
•“Item 2: Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Liquidity and Capital Resources of COPLP.”

This report also includes separate sections under Part I, Item 4. Controls and Procedures and separate Exhibit 31 and Exhibit 32 certifications for each of COPT and COPLP to establish that the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of each entity have made the requisite certifications and that COPT and COPLP are compliant with Rule 13a-15 and Rule 15d-14 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and 18 U.S.C. §1350.

Corporate Office Properties Trust and Subsidiaries and Corporate Office Properties, L.P. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited)
 
1.    Organization
 
Corporate Office Properties Trust (“COPT”) and subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) is a fully-integrated and self-managed real estate investment trust (“REIT”). Corporate Office Properties, L.P. (“COPLP”) and subsidiaries (collectively, the “Operating Partnership”) is the entity through which COPT, the sole general partner of COPLP, conducts almost all of its operations and owns almost all of its assets. Unless otherwise expressly stated or the context otherwise requires, “we”, “us” and “our” as used herein refer to each of the Company and the Operating Partnership. We own, manage, lease, develop and selectively acquire office and data center properties. The majority of our portfolio is in locations that support the United States Government (“USG”) and its contractors, most of whom are engaged in national security, defense and information technology (“IT”) related activities servicing what we believe are growing, durable, priority missions (“Defense/IT Locations”). We also own a portfolio of office properties located in select urban/urban-like submarkets in the Greater Washington, DC/Baltimore region with durable Class-A office fundamentals and characteristics (“Regional Office”). As of September 30, 2020, our properties included the following:

•176 properties totaling 20.4 million square feet comprised of 15.9 million square feet in 151 office properties and 4.5 million square feet in 25 single-tenant data center shell properties (“data center shells”). We owned 15 of these data center shells through unconsolidated real estate joint ventures;
•a wholesale data center with a critical load of 19.25 megawatts;
•11 properties under development (ten office properties and one data center shell), including one partially-operational property, and expansion of one fully-operational property that we estimate will total approximately 1.6 million square feet upon completion; and
•approximately 860 acres of land controlled for future development that we believe could be developed into approximately 11.0 million square feet and 43 acres of other land.
 
COPLP owns real estate directly and through subsidiary partnerships and limited liability companies (“LLCs”).  In addition to owning real estate, COPLP also owns subsidiaries that provide real estate services such as property management, development and construction services primarily for our properties but also for third parties. Some of these services are performed by a taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”).

Equity interests in COPLP are in the form of common and preferred units. As of September 30, 2020, COPT owned 98.6% of the outstanding COPLP common units (“common units”); the remaining common units and all of the outstanding COPLP preferred units (“preferred units”) were owned by third parties. Common units not owned by COPT carry certain redemption rights. The number of common units owned by COPT is equivalent to the number of outstanding common shares of beneficial interest (“common shares”) of COPT, and the entitlement of common units to quarterly distributions and payments in liquidation is substantially the same as that of COPT common shareholders. In the case of any series of preferred units held by COPT, there would be a series of preferred shares of beneficial interest (“preferred shares”) in COPT that is equivalent in number and carries substantially the same terms as such series of COPLP preferred units. 

COPT’s common shares are publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the ticker symbol “OFC”.

Because COPLP is managed by COPT, and COPT conducts substantially all of its operations through COPLP, we refer to COPT’s executive officers as COPLP’s executive officers; similarly, although COPLP does not have a board of trustees, we refer to COPT’s Board of Trustees as COPLP’s Board of Trustees.
  
2.     Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Basis of Presentation
 
The COPT consolidated financial statements include the accounts of COPT, the Operating Partnership, their subsidiaries and other entities in which COPT has a majority voting interest and control.  The COPLP consolidated financial statements include the accounts of COPLP, its subsidiaries and other entities in which COPLP has a majority voting interest and control.  We also consolidate certain entities when control of such entities can be achieved through means other than voting rights (“variable interest entities” or “VIEs”) if we are deemed to be the primary beneficiary of such entities.  We eliminate all intercompany balances and transactions in consolidation.
17


We use the equity method of accounting when we own an interest in an entity and can exert significant influence over but cannot control the entity’s operations. We discontinue equity method accounting if our investment in an entity (and net advances) is reduced to zero unless we have guaranteed obligations of the entity or are otherwise committed to provide further financial support for the entity.
 
When we own an equity investment in an entity and cannot exert significant influence over its operations, we measure the investment at fair value, with changes recognized through net income. For an investment without a readily determinable fair value, we measure the investment at cost, less any impairments, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes for an identical or similar investment of the same issuer.

These interim financial statements should be read together with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019 included in our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.  The unaudited consolidated financial statements include all adjustments that are necessary, in the opinion of management, to fairly state our financial position and results of operations.  All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.  The consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the accounting policies described in our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K as updated for our adoption of recent accounting pronouncements discussed below.

Reclassifications

We reclassified certain amounts from prior periods to conform to the current period presentation of our consolidated financial statements with no effect on previously reported net income or equity.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Effective January 1, 2020, we adopted guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) that changes how entities measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments not measured at fair value through net income. The guidance replaces the current incurred loss model with an expected loss approach, resulting in a more timely recognition of such losses. The guidance applies to most financial assets measured at amortized cost and certain other instruments, including trade and other receivables (excluding those arising from operating leases), loans, held-to-maturity debt securities, net investments in leases and off-balance-sheet credit exposures. Under this guidance, we recognize an estimate of our expected credit losses on these asset types as an allowance, as the guidance requires that financial assets be measured on an amortized cost basis and be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. We adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2020 using the modified retrospective transition method under which we recognized a $5.5 million allowance for credit losses by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to cumulative distributions in excess of net income of the Company (or common units of the Operating Partnership), and did not adjust prior comparative reporting periods. Our consolidated statements of operations reflect adjustments for changes in our expected credit losses occurring subsequent to adoption of this guidance.

Effective January 1, 2020, we adopted guidance issued by the FASB that modifies disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The resulting changes in disclosure did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Effective January 1, 2020, we adopted guidance issued by the FASB that aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. FASB guidance did not previously address the accounting for such implementation costs. Our adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2020, the FASB issued guidance containing practical expedients for reference rate reform related activities pertaining to debt, leases, derivatives and other contracts. The guidance is optional and may be adopted over time as reference rate reform activities occur. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we elected to apply an expedient to treat any changes in loans resulting from reference rate reform as debt modifications (as opposed to extinguishments) and hedge accounting expedients related to probability and the assessments of effectiveness for future LIBOR-indexed cash flows to assume that the index upon which future hedged transactions will be based matches the index on the corresponding derivatives. Application of the hedge accounting expedients preserves the presentation of derivatives consistent with past presentation. We will continue to evaluate the impact of this guidance and may apply other elections as applicable as additional changes in the market occur.

In April 2020, the FASB issued a Staff Q&A document that addressed the accounting for lease accounting guidance for lease concessions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. Under existing lease guidance, we would normally have to
18

determine, on a lease-by-lease basis, if a lease concession was the result of a new arrangement reached with the tenant (treated as a lease modification) or if such a concession was implemented pursuant to enforceable rights and obligations within the existing lease agreement (and, therefore, not treated as a lease modification). The Staff Q&A document enabled us to bypass the lease-by-lease analysis for lease concessions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, and instead elect to either apply the lease modification accounting framework or not, with such elections applied consistently to leases with similar characteristics and similar circumstances. Entities may make the elections for any lessor-provided concessions related to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic (such as deferrals of lease payments or reduced future lease payments) as long as the concession does not result in a substantial increase in the rights of the lessor or the obligations of the lessee. We chose to apply the elections available under the Staff Q&A to restructurings of lease payment terms granted by us to tenants, the effect of which did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Credit Losses, Financial Assets and Other Instruments

As discussed above, effective January 1, 2020, we adopted guidance issued by the FASB that changed how we measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments not measured at fair value through net income from an incurred loss model to an expected loss approach. Our items within the scope of this guidance included the following:

•investing receivables, as disclosed in Note 7;
•tenant notes receivable;
•other assets comprised of non-lease revenue related accounts receivable (primarily from construction contract services) and contract assets from unbilled construction contract revenue; and
•off-balance sheet credit exposures.

Under this guidance, we recognize an estimate of our expected credit losses on these items as an allowance, as the guidance requires that financial assets be measured on an amortized cost basis and be presented at the net amount expected to be collected (or as a separate liability in the case of off-balance sheet credit exposures). The allowance represents the portion of the amortized cost basis that we do not expect to collect (or loss we expect to incur in the case of off-balance sheet credit exposures) due to credit over the contractual life based on available information relevant to assessing the collectability of cash flows, which includes consideration of past events, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions (including consideration of asset- or borrower-specific factors). The guidance requires the allowance for expected credit losses to reflect the risk of loss, even when that risk is remote. An allowance for credit losses is measured and recorded upon the initial recognition of a financial asset (or off-balance sheet credit exposure), regardless of whether it is originated or purchased. Quarterly, the expected losses are re-estimated, considering any cash receipts and changes in risks or assumptions, with resulting adjustments recognized as credit loss expense or recoveries on our consolidated statements of operations.

We estimate expected credit losses for in-scope items using historical loss rate information developed for varying classifications of credit risk and contractual lives. Due to our limited quantity of items within the scope of this guidance and the unique risk characteristics of such items, we individually assign each in-scope item a credit risk classification. The credit risk classifications assigned by us are determined based on credit ratings assigned by ratings agencies (as available) or are internally-developed based on available financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, other publicly available information and current economic trends. In addition, for certain items in which the risk of credit loss is affected by the economic performance of a real estate development project, we develop probability weighted scenario analyses for varying levels of performance in estimating our credit loss allowance (applicable to our notes receivable from the City of Huntsville disclosed in Note 7 and a tax incremental financing obligation disclosed in Note 17).

Our investment grade credit risk classification represents entities with investment grade credit ratings from ratings agencies (such as Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services, Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or Fitch Ratings Ltd.), meaning that they are considered to have at least an adequate capacity to meet their financial commitments, with credit risk ranging from minimal to moderate. Our non-investment grade credit risk classification represents entities with either no credit agency credit ratings or ratings deemed to be sub-investment grade; we believe that there is significantly more credit risk associated with this classification. The credit risk classifications of our investing receivables and tenant notes receivable were last updated in September 2020.

An insignificant portion of the investing and tenant notes receivables set forth above was past due, which we define as being delinquent by more than three months from the due date.

When we believe that collection of interest income on an investing or tenant note receivable is not probable, we place the receivable on nonaccrual status, meaning interest income is recognized when payments are received rather than on an accrual basis. Notes receivable on nonaccrual status as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 were not significant. We did not recognize any interest income during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 on notes receivable on nonaccrual status.

We write off receivables when we believe the facts and circumstances indicate that continued pursuit of collection is no longer warranted. When cash is received in connection with receivables for which we have previously recognized credit losses, we recognize reductions in our credit loss expense.

3.     Fair Value Measurements

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

COPT has a non-qualified elective deferred compensation plan for Trustees and certain members of our management team that, prior to December 31, 2019, permitted participants to defer up to 100% of their compensation on a pre-tax basis and receive a tax-deferred return on such deferrals. The Company froze additional entry into the plan effective December 31, 2019.  The assets held in the plan (comprised primarily of mutual funds and equity securities) and the corresponding liability to the participants are measured at fair value on a recurring basis on COPT’s consolidated balance sheets using quoted market prices, as are other marketable securities that we hold. The balance of the plan, which was fully funded and totaled $2.7 million as of September 30, 2020, is included in the line entitled “prepaid expenses and other assets, net” on COPT’s consolidated balance sheets along with an insignificant amount of other marketable securities. The offsetting liability associated with the plan is adjusted to fair value at the end of each accounting period based on the fair value of the plan assets and reported in “other liabilities” on COPT’s consolidated balance sheets. The assets of the plan are classified in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy, while the offsetting liability is classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The fair values of our interest rate derivatives are determined using widely accepted valuation techniques, including a discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate market data and implied volatilities in such interest rates. While we determined that the majority of the inputs used to value our derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with our interest rate derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default. However, as of September 30, 2020, we assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of our derivatives and determined that these adjustments are not significant. As a result, we determined that our interest rate derivative valuations in their entirety are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, other assets (excluding investing receivables) and accounts payable and accrued expenses are reasonable estimates of their fair values because of the short maturities of these instruments.  The fair values of our investing receivables, as disclosed in Note 7, were based on the discounted estimated future cash flows of the loans (categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy); the discount rates used approximate current market rates for loans with similar maturities and credit quality, and the estimated cash payments include scheduled principal and interest payments.  For our disclosure of debt fair values in Note 9, we estimated the fair value of our unsecured senior notes based on quoted market rates for publicly-traded debt (categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy) and estimated the fair value of our other debt based on the discounted estimated future cash payments to be made on such debt (categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy); the discount rates used approximate current market rates for loans, or groups of loans, with similar maturities and credit quality, and the estimated future payments include scheduled principal and interest payments.  Fair value estimates are made as of a specific point in time, are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment.  Settlement at such fair value amounts may not be possible and may not be a prudent management decision.
 
For additional fair value information, please refer to Note 7 for investing receivables, Note 9 for debt and Note 10 for interest rate derivatives.

All debt is owed by the Operating Partnership. While COPT is not directly obligated by any debt, it has guaranteed COPLP’s Revolving Credit Facility, Term Loan Facilities and Unsecured Senior Notes.

On September 17, 2020, we issued $400.0 million of 2.25% Senior Notes due 2026 (the “2.25% Notes”) at an initial offering price of 99.416% of their face value. The proceeds from this issuance, after deducting underwriting discounts, but before other offering expenses, were $395.3 million. The notes mature on March 15, 2026. We may redeem the notes, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at our option, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (1) the aggregate principal amount of the notes being redeemed or (2) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon (not including any portion of such payments of interest accrued as of the date of redemption) discounted to its present value, on a semi-annual basis at an adjusted
28

treasury rate plus a spread of 35 basis points, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of redemption. However, if this redemption occurs on or after one month prior to the maturity date, the redemption price will be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the redemption date. These notes are unconditionally guaranteed by COPT. The carrying value of these notes reflects an unamortized discount totaling $4.7 million as of September 30, 2020. The effective interest rate under the notes, including amortization of discount and issuance costs, was 2.48%.

On September 17, 2020, we purchased $122.9 million, or 40.98% of the aggregate principal amount, of our 3.70% Senior Notes due 2021 (the “3.70% Notes”) for $126.0 million, plus accrued interest, pursuant to a tender offer. In connection with this purchase, we recognized a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $3.2 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020. On October 19, 2020, we redeemed the remaining $177.1 million of the 3.70% Notes for $180.9 million plus accrued interest, and recognized an additional loss on early extinguishment of debt of approximately $4 million.

Certain of our debt instruments require that we comply with a number of restrictive financial covenants.  As of September 30, 2020, we were compliant with these financial covenants.

We capitalized interest costs of $2.9 million in the three months ended September 30, 2020, $2.9 million in the three months ended September 30, 2019, $9.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and $7.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

As described further in Note 9, in September 2020, we completed our issuance of the 2.25% Notes. In August 2020, in anticipation of pursuing such an issuance, we determined that the forecasted transactions hedged by our three interest rate swaps with an effective date of June 30, 2020 and an aggregate notional amount of $225.0 million were no longer probable of occurring, resulting in our discontinuance of hedge accounting on these swaps. When we consummated the note issuance in September 2020, we determined that it was probable that the forecasted transactions would not occur, resulting in our reclassification of $51.9 million in losses from accumulated other comprehensive loss (“AOCL”) to loss on interest rate derivatives on our statements of operations. On September 22, 2020, we cash settled these swaps and accrued interest thereon for an aggregate amount of $53.1 million.

Based on the fair value of our derivatives as of September 30, 2020, we estimate that approximately $4.8 million of losses will be reclassified from AOCL as an increase to interest expense over the next 12 months.

We have agreements with each of our interest rate derivative counterparties that contain provisions under which, if we default or are capable of being declared in default on defined levels of our indebtedness, we could also be declared in default on our derivative obligations. Failure to comply with the loan covenant provisions could result in our being declared in default on any derivative instrument obligations covered by the agreements. As of September 30, 2020, we were not in default with any of these provisions. As of September 30, 2020, the fair value of interest rate derivatives in a liability position related to these agreements was $11.1 million, excluding the effects of accrued interest and credit valuation adjustments. As of September 30, 2020, we had not posted any collateral related to these agreements.  If we breach any of these provisions, we could be required to settle our obligations under the agreements at their termination value, which was $11.5 million as of September 30, 2020.

11.    Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests

Our partners in two real estate joint ventures, LW Redstone Company, LLC and Stevens Investors, LLC, have the right to require us to acquire their respective interests at fair value; accordingly, we classify the fair value of our partners’ interests as redeemable noncontrolling interests in the mezzanine section of our consolidated balance sheets. The table below sets forth the activity for these redeemable noncontrolling interests (in thousands):
For the Nine Months Ended September 30,
20202019
Beginning balance$29,431 $26,260 
Distributions to noncontrolling interests(13,335)(1,656)
Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests2,715 2,729 
Adjustment to arrive at fair value of interests4,711 1,344 
Ending balance$23,522 $28,677 

We determine the fair value of the interests based on unobservable inputs after considering the assumptions that market participants would make in pricing the interest. We apply a discount rate to the estimated future cash flows allocable to our partners from the properties underlying the respective joint ventures. Estimated cash flows used in such analyses are based on our plans for the properties and our views of market and economic conditions, and consider items such as current and future rental rates, occupancy projections and estimated operating and development expenditures.

12.    Equity
 
Common Shares/Units

As of September 30, 2020, COPT had remaining capacity under its at-the-market stock offering program equal to an aggregate gross sales price of $300 million in common share sales.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, certain COPLP limited partners converted 12,009 common units in COPLP for an equal number of common shares in COPT.

We declared dividends per COPT common share and distributions per COPLP common unit of $0.275 in the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 and $0.825 in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.

See Note 15 for disclosure of COPT common share and COPLP common unit activity pertaining to our share-based compensation plans.

13.    Information by Business Segment

We have the following reportable segments: Defense/IT Locations; Regional Office; Wholesale Data Center; and Other. We also report on Defense/IT Locations sub-segments, which include the following: Fort George G. Meade and the Baltimore/Washington Corridor (“Fort Meade/BW Corridor”); Northern Virginia Defense/IT Locations; Lackland Air Force Base (in San Antonio); locations serving the U.S. Navy (“Navy Support Locations”), which included properties proximate to the Washington Navy Yard, the Naval Air Station Patuxent River in Maryland and the Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division in Virginia; Redstone Arsenal (in Huntsville); and data center shells (properties leased to tenants to be operated as data centers in which the tenants generally fund the costs for the power, fiber connectivity and data center infrastructure).

We measure the performance of our segments through the measure we define as net operating income from real estate operations (“NOI from real estate operations”), which includes: real estate revenues and property operating expenses; and the net of revenues and property operating expenses of real estate operations owned through unconsolidated real estate joint ventures (“UJVs”) that is allocable to COPT’s ownership interest (“UJV NOI allocable to COPT”). Amounts reported for segment assets represent long-lived assets associated with consolidated operating properties (including the carrying value of properties, right-of-use assets, net of related lease liabilities, intangible assets, deferred leasing costs, deferred rents receivable and lease incentives) and the carrying value of investments in UJVs owning operating properties. Amounts reported as additions to long-lived assets represent additions to existing consolidated operating properties, excluding transfers from non-operating properties, which we report separately.

As previously discussed, we provide real estate services such as property management, development and construction services primarily for our properties but also for third parties.  The primary manner in which we evaluate the operating performance of our service activities is through a measure we define as net operating income from service operations (“NOI from service operations”), which is based on the net of revenues and expenses from these activities.  Construction contract and other service revenues and expenses consist primarily of subcontracted costs that are reimbursed to us by the customer along with a management fee. The operating margins from these activities are small relative to the revenue.  We believe NOI from service operations is a useful measure in assessing both our level of activity and our profitability in conducting such operations. The table below sets forth the computation of our NOI from service operations (in thousands):

The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those used to prepare our consolidated financial statements.  In the segment reporting presented above, we did not allocate interest expense, depreciation and amortization, impairment losses, gain on sales of real estate and equity in income of unconsolidated entities not included in NOI to our real estate segments since they are not included in the measure of segment profit reviewed by management.  We also did not allocate general, administrative and leasing expenses, business development expenses and land carry costs, interest and other income, credit loss recoveries (expense), loss on early extinguishment of debt, loss on interest rate derivatives, income taxes and noncontrolling interests because these items represent general corporate or non-operating property items not attributable to segments.

15.    Share-Based Compensation
 
Restricted Shares
 
During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, certain employees and non-employee members of our Board of Trustees (“Trustees”) were granted a total of 159,518 restricted common shares with an aggregate grant date fair value of $4.0 million (weighted average of $25.16 per share). Restricted shares granted to employees vest based on increments and over periods of time set forth under the terms of the respective awards provided that the employee remains employed by us. Restricted shares granted to non-employee Trustees vest on the first anniversary of the grant date, provided that the Trustee remains in his or her position. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, forfeiture restrictions lapsed on 165,778 previously issued common shares; these shares had a weighted average grant date fair value of $28.19 per share, and the aggregate intrinsic value of the shares on the vesting dates was $4.2 million. Additionally, during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, 9,064 restricted shares previously awarded to our former Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer were forfeited upon his resignation.

Deferred Share Awards

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, certain non-employee Trustees were granted a total of 7,972 deferred share awards with an aggregate grant date fair value of $187,000 ($23.44 per share). Deferred share awards vest on the first anniversary of the grant date, provided that the Trustee remains in his or her position. We settle deferred share awards by issuing an equivalent number of common shares upon vesting of the awards or a later date elected by the Trustee (generally upon cessation of being a Trustee).

Performance Share Awards (“PSUs”)
 
We issued 23,181 common shares on January 13, 2020 to executives in settlement of PSUs granted in 2017, representing 53% of the target awards for those PSUs.

Profit Interest Units (“PIUs”)

For 2020, we offered our executives and Trustees the opportunity to select PIUs as a form of long-term compensation in lieu of, or in combination with, other forms of share-based compensation awards (restricted shares, deferred share awards and PSUs). Our executives and certain of our Trustees selected PIUs as their form of share-based compensation for their 2020 grants. We granted two forms of PIUs: time-based PIUs (“TB-PIUs”); and performance-based PIUs (“PB-PIUs”). TB-PIUs are subject to forfeiture restrictions until the end of the requisite service period, at which time the TB-PIUs automatically convert into vested PIUs. PB-PIUs are subject to a market condition in that the number of earned awards are determined at the end of the performance period (as described further below) and then settled in vested PIUs. Vested PIUs carry substantially the same rights to redemption and distributions as non-PIU common units.

37

TB-PIUs

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, our executives and certain non-employee Trustees were granted a total of 75,053 TB-PIUs with an aggregate grant date fair value of $1.9 million (weighted average of $25.14 per TB-PIU). TB-PIUs granted to executives vest in equal annual increments over a three-year period beginning on the first anniversary of the date of grant. TB-PIUs granted to non-employee Trustees vest on the first anniversary of the grant date, provided that the Trustee remains in his or her position. Prior to vesting, TB-PIUs carry substantially the same rights to distributions as non-PIU common units but carry no redemption rights. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, forfeiture restrictions lapsed on 25,182 previously issued TB-PIUs; these TB-PIUs had a grant date fair value of $26.30 per unit, and the aggregate intrinsic value of the TB-PIUs on the vesting date was $640,000.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, 20,622 TB-PIUs previously awarded to our former Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer were forfeited upon his resignation.

PB-PIUs

On January 1, 2020, we granted our executives 176,758 PB-PIUs with a three-year performance period concluding on the earlier of December 31, 2022 or the date of: (1) termination by us without cause, death or disability of the executive or constructive discharge of the executive (collectively, “qualified termination”); or (2) a sale event.  The number of earned awards at the end of the performance period will be determined based on the percentile rank of COPT’s total shareholder return (“TSR”) relative to a peer group of companies, as set forth in the following schedule:
Percentile Rank Earned Awards Payout %
75th or greater 
100% of PB-PIUs granted
50th (target) 
50% of PB-PIUs granted
25th 
25% of PB-PIUs granted
Below 25th 
0% of PB-PIUs granted

If the percentile rank exceeds the 25th percentile and is between two of the percentile ranks set forth in the table above, then the percentage of the earned awards will be interpolated between the ranges set forth in the table above to reflect any performance between the listed percentiles.  If COPT’s TSR during the measurement period is negative, the maximum number of earned awards will be limited to the target level payout percentage.  During the performance period, PB-PIUs carry rights to distributions equal to 10% of the distribution rights of non-PIU common units but carry no redemption rights.

At the end of the performance period, we will settle the award by issuing vested PIUs equal to the number of earned awards in settlement of the award plan and paying cash equal to the excess, if any, of: the aggregate distributions that would have been paid with respect to vested PIUs issued in settlement of the earned awards through the date of settlement had such vested PIUs been issued on the grant date; over the aggregate distributions made on the PB-PIUs during the performance period. If a performance period ends due to a sale event or qualified termination, the number of earned awards is prorated based on the portion of the three-year performance period that has elapsed.  If employment is terminated by the employee or by us for cause, all PB-PIUs are forfeited.

These PB-PIU grants had an aggregate grant date fair value of $2.9 million ($16.36 per PB-PIU) which is being recognized over the performance period. The grant date fair value was computed using a Monte Carlo model that included the following assumptions: baseline common share value of $29.38; expected volatility for common shares of 18.0%; and a risk-free interest rate of 1.65%.  

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, 73,184 PB-PIUs previously awarded to our former Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer were forfeited upon his resignation.

16.    Earnings Per Share (“EPS”) and Earnings Per Unit (“EPU”)
 
COPT and Subsidiaries EPS

We present both basic and diluted EPS.  We compute basic EPS by dividing net income available to common shareholders allocable to unrestricted common shares under the two-class method by the weighted average number of unrestricted common shares outstanding during the period.  Our computation of diluted EPS is similar except that:
 
38

•the denominator is increased to include: (1) the weighted average number of potential additional common shares that would have been outstanding if securities that are convertible into common shares were converted; and (2) the effect of dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period attributable to COPT’s forward equity sale agreements, redeemable noncontrolling interests and our share-based compensation using the treasury stock or if-converted methods; and
•the numerator is adjusted to add back any changes in income or loss that would result from the assumed conversion into common shares that we add to the denominator.

17.    Commitments and Contingencies
 
Litigation and Claims
 
In the normal course of business, we are subject to legal actions and other claims.  We record losses for specific legal proceedings and claims when we determine that a loss is probable and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated.  As of September 30, 2020, management believes that it is reasonably possible that we could recognize a loss of up to $3.1 million for certain municipal tax claims. While we do not believe this loss would materially affect our financial position or liquidity, it could be material to our results of operations. Management believes that it is also reasonably possible that we could incur losses pursuant to other such claims but do not believe such losses would materially affect our financial position, liquidity or results of operations. Our assessment of the potential outcomes of these matters involves significant judgment and is subject to change based on future developments.
 
Environmental
 
We are subject to various Federal, state and local environmental regulations related to our property ownership and operation.  We have performed environmental assessments of our properties, the results of which have not revealed any environmental liability that we believe would have a materially adverse effect on our financial position, operations or liquidity.

In connection with a lease and subsequent sale in 2008 and 2010 of three properties in Dayton, New Jersey, we agreed to provide certain environmental indemnifications limited to $19 million in the aggregate. We have insurance coverage in place to mitigate much of any potential future losses that may result from these indemnification agreements.
 
Tax Incremental Financing Obligation
 
Anne Arundel County, Maryland issued tax incremental financing bonds to third-party investors in order to finance public improvements needed in connection with our project known as the National Business Park.  These bonds had a remaining principal balance of approximately $33 million as of September 30, 2020. The real estate taxes on increases in assessed values post-bond issuance of properties in development districts encompassing the National Business Park are transferred to a special fund pledged to the repayment of the bonds. While we are obligated to fund, through a special tax, any future shortfalls between debt service of the bonds and real estate taxes available to repay the bonds, as of September 30, 2020, we do not expect any such future fundings will be required.

Effects of COVID-19
 
Since first being declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization in early March 2020, the coronavirus, or COVID-19, has spread worldwide. In an effort to control its spread, governments and other authorities imposed restrictive measures affecting freedom of movement and business operations, such as shelter-in-place orders and business closures. Strong restrictive measures were put into place in much of the United States beginning in March, bringing many businesses to a halt while forcing others to change the way in which they conduct their operations, with much of the workforce working from their homes to the extent they were able. States and local governments began easing these measures to varying extents in late April, with some lifting restrictive measures entirely, while others chose a more gradual, extended easing approach. While the easing of these measures has enabled many businesses to gradually resume normal operations, most businesses continue to be hindered to varying extents by either measures still in effect, operational challenges resulting from social distancing requirements/expectations and/or a reluctance by much of the population to engage in certain activities while the pandemic is still active. As of the date of this filing, COVID-19 spread continues world- and nation-wide, and is expected to continue until effective vaccinations have been developed and then distributed and administered to much of the population. As a result, there continues to be significant uncertainty regarding the duration and extent of this pandemic. The outbreak has significantly disrupted financial and economic markets worldwide, as well as in the United States at a national, regional and local level. These conditions could continue or further deteriorate as businesses feel the prolonged effects of stalled or reduced operations and uncertainty regarding the pandemic continues.

COVID-19, and similar pandemics, along with measures instituted to prevent spread, may adversely affect us in many ways, including, but not limited to:

•disruption of our tenants’ operations, which could adversely affect their ability, or willingness, to sustain their businesses and/or fulfill their lease obligations;
•our ability to maintain occupancy in our properties and obtain new leases for unoccupied and new development space at favorable terms or at all;
41

•shortages in supply of products or services from our and our tenants’ vendors that are needed for us and our tenants to operate effectively, and which could lead to increased costs for such products and services;
•access to debt and equity capital on attractive terms or at all. Severe disruption and instability in the global financial markets or deteriorations in credit and financing conditions may affect our or our tenants’ ability to access capital necessary to fund operations, refinance debt or fund planned investments on a timely basis, and may adversely affect the valuation of financial assets and liabilities;
•our and our tenants’ ability to continue or complete planned development, including the potential for delays in the supply of materials or labor necessary for development; and
•an increase in the pace of businesses implementing remote work arrangements over the long-term, which would adversely effect demand for office space.

The extent of the effect on our operations, financial condition and cash flows will be dependent on future developments, including the duration of the pandemic, the prevalence, strength and duration of restrictive measures and the resulting effects on our tenants, potential future tenants, the commercial real estate industry and the broader economy, all of which are uncertain and difficult to predict.

18.    Subsequent Event

On October 30, 2020, we sold a 90% interest in two data center shell properties in Virginia based on an aggregate property value of $90 million and retained a 10% interest in the properties through B RE COPT DC JV II LLC (“B RE COPT”), a newly-formed joint venture. Our partner in the joint venture acquired the 90% interest from us for $81 million. We are accounting for our interest in the joint venture using the equity method of accounting.

Item 2.           Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 
Overview
 
During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we: 

•finished the period with our office and data center shell portfolio 93.8% occupied and 94.4% leased;
•placed into service 1.2 million square feet in six newly-developed properties (including three data center shell properties and three office properties in our Redstone Arsenal sub-segment), expansions of two fully-operational properties and one redeveloped property that were 99.2% leased as of September 30, 2020;
•refinanced unsecured senior notes due to mature in June 2021 with a new note issuance on September 17, 2020 by:
◦issuing $400.0 million of 2.25% Notes at an initial offering price of 99.416% of their face value. The proceeds from this issuance, after deducting underwriting discounts but before other offering expenses, were approximately $395.3 million;
◦completing a tender offer for $300.0 million of 3.70% Notes, which resulted in our purchase of $122.9 million, or 40.98%, of the notes for $126.0 million plus accrued interest; and
◦initiating the redemption of the remaining $177.1 million of 3.70% Notes, which was completed on October 19, 2020 for $180.9 million plus accrued interest.
We initially used the remaining proceeds from the 2.25% Notes issuance to repay borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility and for general corporate purposes, which included the cash settlement of three forward-starting interest rate swaps and accrued interest thereon for $53.1 million. We subsequently used borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility to fund the 3.70% Notes redemption on October 19, 2020; and
•amended an existing term loan facility to increase the loan amount by $150.0 million and reduce the LIBOR interest rate spread on the facility. We used the resulting loan proceeds to repay borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility that funded development costs.

In addition, effective March 16, 2020, Paul R. Adkins resigned from his position as Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer. We commenced a search for candidates to replace Mr. Adkins and, in the interim, have senior level employees handling his responsibilities.

On October 30, 2020, we sold a 90% interest in two data center shell properties in Virginia based on an aggregate property value of $90 million and retained a 10% interest in the properties through B RE COPT, a newly-formed joint venture. Our partner in the joint venture acquired the 90% interest from us for $81 million, which was used to repay borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility.

We refer to the measure “annualized rental revenue” in various sections of the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Annualized rental revenue is a measure that we use to evaluate the source of our rental revenue as of a point in time. It is computed by multiplying by 12 the sum of monthly contractual base rents and estimated monthly expense reimbursements under active leases as of a point in time (ignoring free rent then in effect). Our computation of annualized rental revenue excludes the effect of lease incentives, although the effect of this exclusion is not material. We consider annualized rental revenue to be a useful measure for analyzing revenue sources because, since it is point-in-time based, it does not contain increases and decreases in revenue associated with periods in which lease terms were not in effect; historical revenue under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) does contain such fluctuations. We find the measure particularly useful for leasing, tenant, segment and industry analysis.

With regard to our operating portfolio square footage, occupancy and leasing statistics included below and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, amounts disclosed include information pertaining to properties owned through unconsolidated real estate joint ventures except for amounts reported for annualized rental revenue, which represent the portion attributable to our ownership interest.

We discuss significant factors contributing to changes in our net income in the section below entitled “Results of Operations.” The results of operations discussion is combined for COPT and COPLP because there are no material differences in the results of operations between the two reporting entities.

In addition, the section below entitled “Liquidity and Capital Resources” includes discussions of, among other things:

43

•how we expect to generate cash for short and long-term capital needs; and
•our commitments and contingencies.
 
You should refer to our consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto as you read this section.
 
This section contains “forward-looking” statements, as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, that are based on our current expectations, estimates and projections about future events and financial trends affecting the financial condition and operations of our business. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “estimate,” “plan” or other comparable terminology. Forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, many of which we cannot predict with accuracy and some of which we might not even anticipate. Although we believe that the expectations, estimates and projections reflected in such forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions at the time made, we can give no assurance that these expectations, estimates and projections will be achieved. Future events and actual results may differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Important factors that may affect these expectations, estimates and projections include, but are not limited to:

•general economic and business conditions, which will, among other things, affect office property and data center demand and rents, tenant creditworthiness, interest rates, financing availability and property values;
•adverse changes in the real estate markets, including, among other things, increased competition with other companies;
•risks and uncertainties regarding the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, and similar pandemics, along with restrictive measures instituted to prevent spread, on our business, the real estate industry and national, regional and local economic conditions;
•governmental actions and initiatives, including risks associated with the impact of a prolonged government shutdown or budgetary reductions or impasses, such as a reduction in rental revenues, non-renewal of leases and/or reduced or delayed demand for additional space by our strategic customers;
•our ability to borrow on favorable terms;
•risks of real estate acquisition and development activities, including, among other things, risks that development projects may not be completed on schedule, that tenants may not take occupancy or pay rent or that development or operating costs may be greater than anticipated;
•risks of investing through joint venture structures, including risks that our joint venture partners may not fulfill their financial obligations as investors or may take actions that are inconsistent with our objectives;
•changes in our plans for properties or views of market economic conditions or failure to obtain development rights, either of which could result in recognition of significant impairment losses;
•our ability to satisfy and operate effectively under Federal income tax rules relating to real estate investment trusts and partnerships;
•possible adverse changes in tax laws;
•the dilutive effects of issuing additional common shares;
•our ability to achieve projected results;
•security breaches relating to cyber attacks, cyber intrusions or other factors; and
•environmental requirements.

We undertake no obligation to publicly update or supplement forward-looking statements.

Effect on Real Estate Industry

COVID-19 has significantly affected the operations of much of the commercial real estate industry as certain tenants’ operations, including the ability to use space and run businesses, have been disrupted. This has adversely affected tenants’ ability to sustain their businesses, including their ability, or willingness, to fulfill their lease obligations. The industry has also been significantly impacted by the economic disruption that COVID-19 has triggered, which has affected the ability to lease space in many property types to new and existing tenants at favorable terms. Key demand drivers for office space, such as employment levels, business confidence and corporate profits, have been adversely affected. In addition, after months of businesses operating in significant part through remote work arrangements out of necessity, the pace of such arrangements becoming more prevalent long-term could accelerate, adversely affecting office space demand, although that effect may be offset by a slowing in the trend toward adoption of shared office and open workplace structures due to greater social distancing concerns. As a result, the commercial real estate industry, including office real estate, has suffered adverse impacts in its operations, financial conditions and cash flows due to the COVID-19 pandemic and faces the potential for lasting future effects.

Effect on the Company

Our office and data center shell portfolio is significantly concentrated in Defense/IT Locations, representing 167 of the portfolio’s 176 properties, or 88.0%, of our annualized rental revenue as of September 30, 2020. These properties are primarily occupied by the USG and contractor tenants engaged in what we believe are high-priority security, defense and IT missions. As a result, most of these properties were designated as “essential businesses,” and therefore exempt from many of the restrictions that otherwise have affected much of the commercial real estate industry. Furthermore, since the tenants in these properties are mostly the USG, or contractors of the USG who continue to be compensated by the USG for their services, we believe that their ability, and willingness, to fulfill their lease obligations will not be disrupted. Our Defense/IT Locations do include tenants serving as amenities to business parks housing our properties (such as restaurant, retail and personal service providers); while these tenants’ operations have been significantly disrupted by COVID-19, our annualized rental revenue from these tenants is not significant.

As of September 30, 2020, we owned seven Regional Office properties, representing 11.5% of our office and data center shell portfolio’s annualized rental revenue. These properties were comprised of: three high-rise Baltimore City properties proximate to the city’s waterfront; and four Northern Virginia properties. While these properties include tenants in the financial services, health care and public health sectors, which, as “essential businesses,” have been exempt from restrictions on operations, they also include a number of non-essential business tenants. These properties are more subject to traditional office fundamentals than our Defense/IT Locations and therefore face much of the enhanced risk in adverse impacts from COVID-19 described above.

The pandemic has affected the manner in which we conduct our operations in the following ways:

•for the operations of our properties;
◦we consulted with medical experts in developing an approach to safely operate our properties during the pandemic;
◦we use manufacturer recommended heating and air conditioning filters to ensure appropriate outside air distribution;
◦we proactively engaged our tenants to help them through unknowns as pandemic concerns heightened and restrictive measures were being instituted, and maintained that engagement to ensure communication regarding steps we were taking in our business operations, any changes in tenant operations (such as office closures or revised work schedules) and the existence of any actual or presumed COVID-19 cases in properties;
◦our on-site property operations staff have been required to use personal protective equipment, such as masks, gloves and hand sanitizer, and implement other procedural changes to enhance separation and minimize spread;
◦we instituted enhanced cleaning measures, particularly for high touch areas and flat surfaces, and conducted special deep cleanings in properties potentially affected by actual or presumed COVID-19 cases;
◦we provided signage promoting proper social distancing practices and hand sanitizer stations for property common area lobbies; and
◦for properties that were not being used by tenants due to office closures or work from home arrangements, we locked down public (non-tenant) access to the properties for security purposes and instituted other measures aimed at managing costs;
45

•for our employees:
◦our staff deemed to be essential, including our executives, select other members of our leadership team and most of our property management team, have continued to report to their normal work locations; and
◦most of our other staff worked from home from mid-March until the end of May, when most began reporting to their normal work locations on a weekly rotational basis; and
•for our leasing activities:
◦we continued active engagement for lease transactions already in progress while business closures were in place;
◦during periods of time in which we were unable to physically show space to prospective tenants (from mid-March until late May to mid-June), we showed space to new prospective tenants using a combination of virtual technology and pre-recorded video tours; and
◦we implemented new advertising strategies to promote space availability.

As of the date of this filing, we believe that COVID-19 has not significantly affected our results of operations. Our:

•same property NOI from real estate operations decreased 1.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and increased 0.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 relative to the comparable 2019 periods. These changes included the effect of $1.1 million and $2.7 million increases in provisions for collectability losses and $739,000 and $1.3 million decreases in parking revenue in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, relative to the comparable 2019 periods. Substantially all of the increases in collectibility losses was attributable to tenants whose operations were significantly disrupted by the pandemic (including primarily tenants serving as amenities to Defense/IT Location properties);
•other lease revenue collections were not significantly affected by the pandemic. However, we have agreed to deferred payment arrangements for approximately $2.6 million in lease receivables to be repaid in most cases by 2021 with primarily Regional Office tenants and tenants serving as amenities to Defense/IT Location properties whose operations were significantly disrupted;
•office and data center shell portfolio was 93.8% occupied (compared to 92.9% at year end) and 94.4% leased (unchanged from year end) and our Same Properties portfolio was 92.5% occupied (compared to 91.8% at year end) and 93.2% leased (compared to 93.5% at year end);
•operating expenses included the effect of higher cleaning and maintenance related costs, which was partially offset by higher tenant expense reimbursements; and
•leadership team concluded that the economic disruption resulting from COVID-19 constituted a significant adverse change in the business climate that could affect the value of our Regional Office properties, which are dependent on commercial office tenants and could suffer increased vacancy as a result. Accordingly, we concluded that these circumstances constituted an indicator of impairment. We performed recovery analyses for each Regional Office property’s asset group and concluded that the carrying value of each asset group was recoverable from the respective estimated undiscounted future cash flows. As a result, no impairment loss was recognized.

While we do not currently expect that COVID-19 will significantly affect our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows, we believe that the impact of the pandemic will be dependent on future developments, including the duration of the pandemic, the prevalence, strength and duration of restrictive measures and the resulting effects on our tenants, potential future tenants, the commercial real estate industry and the broader economy, all of which are uncertain and difficult to predict. Nevertheless, we believe at this time that there is more inherent risk associated with the operations of our Regional Office properties than our Defense/IT Locations.

We believe that COVID-19 led to several leases being executed later than we previously expected, and the inability for us to physically show space to prospective tenants for a period of time due to restrictive measures served as an impediment to initiating new and progressing active leasing transactions. While we do not believe that our development leasing and ability to renew leases scheduled to expire has been significantly affected by the pandemic, we do believe that the impact of the restrictive measures and the economic uncertainty caused by the pandemic has impacted our timing and volume of vacant space leasing, and may continue to do so in the future.

For our development activity, we have delivered space in five newly-constructed properties and expansions of two fully-operational properties on schedule since March 2020, and the 11 properties and expansion of one fully-operational property that were under development as of September 30, 2020 face minimal operational risk as they were 84% leased as of the date of this filing. COVID-19 enhances the risk of us being able to stay on pace to complete development and begin operations on schedule due to the potential for delays from: jurisdictional permitting and inspections; factories’ ability to provide materials; and possible labor quarantines. These types of issues have not significantly affected us to date but could in the future, depending on COVID-19 related developments.

46

We do not expect that we will be required to incur significant additional capital expenditures on existing properties as a result of COVID-19.

In March 2020, due to the potential for financial market instability from the pandemic, we borrowed under our Revolving Credit Facility in order to pre-fund our short-term capital needs. As the capital markets remained stable in the second quarter of 2020, we repaid much of these borrowings in June 2020. We completed an issuance of $400.0 million in unsecured senior notes in September 2020, which enabled us to refinance $300.0 million in notes maturing in 2021, and we have no other significant debt maturities until 2022.

Wholesale Data Center
 
Our 19.25 megawatt wholesale data center was 86.7% leased as of September 30, 2020 and 76.9% leased as of December 31, 2019, reflecting an increase from our leasing of 3.1 megawatts in April 2020. We have a lease for 11.25 megawatts in holdover status requiring six months’ notice for the tenant to terminate that we are negotiating for renewal.

Results of Operations
 
We evaluate the operating performance of our properties using NOI from real estate operations, our segment performance measure, which includes: real estate revenues and property operating expenses; and the net of revenues and property operating expenses of real estate operations owned through unconsolidated real estate joint ventures (“UJVs”) that is allocable to COPT’s ownership interest (“UJV NOI allocable to COPT”).  We view our NOI from real estate operations as comprising the following primary categories:

•office and data center shell properties:
•stably owned and 100% operational throughout the current and prior year reporting periods.  We define these as changes from “Same Properties”;
•developed or redeveloped and placed into service that were not 100% operational throughout the current and prior year reporting periods; and
•disposed; and
•our wholesale data center.

In addition to owning properties, we provide construction management and other services. The primary manner in which we evaluate the operating performance of our construction management and other service activities is through a measure we define as NOI from service operations, which is based on the net of the revenues and expenses from these activities.  The revenues and expenses from these activities consist primarily of subcontracted costs that are reimbursed to us by customers along with a management fee.  The operating margins from these activities are small relative to the revenue.  We believe NOI from service operations is a useful measure in assessing both our level of activity and our profitability in conducting such operations.
 
Since both of the measures discussed above exclude certain items includable in net income, reliance on these measures has limitations; management compensates for these limitations by using the measures simply as supplemental measures that are considered alongside other GAAP and non-GAAP measures. A reconciliation of NOI from real estate operations and NOI from service operations to net income reported on the consolidated statements of operations of COPT and subsidiaries is provided in Note 13 to our consolidated financial statements.

Our Same Properties pool consisted of 152 properties, comprising 81.3% of our office and data center shell portfolio’s square footage as of September 30, 2020. This pool of properties changed from the pool used for purposes of comparing 2019 and 2018 in our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K due to the addition of five properties placed in service and 100% operational on or before January 1, 2019.

49

NOI from real estate operations of our Same Properties pool decreased primarily due to lower parking revenue and higher provisions for collectibility losses, substantially all of which was attributable to the effects of COVID-19, as well as higher maintenance expenses.

NOI from real estate operations of our developed and redeveloped properties placed in service included 15 properties placed in service in 2019 and 2020, while our dispositions included our decrease in ownership in 2019 of nine data center shells.

NOI from real estate operations of our wholesale data center decreased due primarily to higher repairs and maintenance expenses and slightly lower occupancy.

Construction contract and other service expenses(19,220)(27,802)8,582 
NOI from service operations$1,103 $895 $208 

Construction contract and other service revenue and expenses decreased due primarily to a lower volume of construction activity in connection with several of our tenants. Construction contract activity is inherently subject to significant variability depending on the volume and nature of projects undertaken by us primarily on behalf of tenants. Service operations are an ancillary component of our overall operations that typically contribute an insignificant amount of net income relative to our real estate operations.

Loss on extinguishment of debt

Our loss on early extinguishment of debt in the current period was attributable to our purchase of the 3.70% Senior Notes due 2021.

Loss on interest rate derivatives

As described further in Note 10 to our consolidated financial statements, we recognized a loss in the current period on interest rate swaps previously designated as cash flow hedges of interest expense on forecasted future borrowings that we determined would probably not occur.

NOI from real estate operations of our constructed and redeveloped properties placed in service included 15 properties placed in service in 2019 and 2020, while our dispositions included our decrease in ownership in 2019 of nine data center shells.

NOI from real estate operations of our wholesale data center decreased due primarily to lease termination revenue recognized in the prior period that did not recur in the current period.

NOI from service operations$2,188 $2,816 $(628)

Construction contract and other service revenue and expenses decreased due primarily to a lower volume of construction activity in connection with several of our tenants.

General, administrative and leasing expenses

General, administrative and leasing expenses decreased in large part due to lower professional fees and compensation related expenses in the current period.

Interest Expense

Interest expense decreased due primarily to increased capitalized interest resulting from a higher volume of active development projects and lower borrowings and interest rates on our Revolving Credit Facility.

Gain on sales of real estate

The gain on sales of real estate in the current period was due to our sale of a 90% interest in seven data center shell properties in 2019 that did not recur in the current period.

Loss on extinguishment of debt

Refer to our explanation above for the three-month periods.

Loss on interest rate derivatives

Refer to our explanation above for the three-month periods.

Funds from Operations
 
Funds from operations (“FFO”) is defined as net income computed using GAAP, excluding gains on sales and impairment losses of real estate (net of associated income tax) and real estate-related depreciation and amortization. FFO also includes adjustments to net income for the effects of the items noted above pertaining to UJVs that were allocable to our ownership interest in the UJVs. We believe that we use the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“Nareit”) definition of FFO, although others may interpret the definition differently and, accordingly, our presentation of FFO may differ from those of other REITs.  We believe that FFO is useful to management and investors as a supplemental measure of operating performance because, by excluding gains on sales and impairment losses of real estate (net of associated income tax), and real estate-related depreciation and amortization, FFO can help one compare our operating performance between periods.  In addition, since most equity REITs provide FFO information to the investment community, we believe that FFO is useful to investors as a supplemental measure for comparing our results to those of other equity REITs.  We believe that net income is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to FFO.
 
Since FFO excludes certain items includable in net income, reliance on the measure has limitations; management compensates for these limitations by using the measure simply as a supplemental measure that is weighed in balance with other GAAP and non-GAAP measures. FFO is not necessarily an indication of our cash flow available to fund cash needs. 
53

Additionally, it should not be used as an alternative to net income when evaluating our financial performance or to cash flow from operating, investing and financing activities when evaluating our liquidity or ability to make cash distributions or pay debt service.
 
Basic FFO available to common share and common unit holders (“Basic FFO”) is FFO adjusted to subtract (1) preferred share dividends, (2) issuance costs associated with redeemed preferred shares, (3) income attributable to noncontrolling interests through ownership of preferred units in the Operating Partnership or interests in other consolidated entities not owned by us, (4) depreciation and amortization allocable to noncontrolling interests in other consolidated entities and (5) Basic FFO allocable to share-based compensation awards.  With these adjustments, Basic FFO represents FFO available to common shareholders and common unitholders.  Common units in the Operating Partnership are substantially similar to our common shares and are exchangeable into common shares, subject to certain conditions.  We believe that Basic FFO is useful to investors due to the close correlation of common units to common shares.  We believe that net income is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to Basic FFO.  Basic FFO has essentially the same limitations as FFO; management compensates for these limitations in essentially the same manner as described above for FFO.
 
Diluted FFO available to common share and common unit holders (“Diluted FFO”) is Basic FFO adjusted to add back any changes in Basic FFO that would result from the assumed conversion of securities that are convertible or exchangeable into common shares.  We believe that Diluted FFO is useful to investors because it is the numerator used to compute Diluted FFO per share, discussed below.  We believe that net income is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to Diluted FFO.  Since Diluted FFO excludes certain items includable in the numerator to diluted EPS, reliance on the measure has limitations; management compensates for these limitations by using the measure simply as a supplemental measure that is weighed in the balance with other GAAP and non-GAAP measures.  Diluted FFO is not necessarily an indication of our cash flow available to fund cash needs.  Additionally, it should not be used as an alternative to net income when evaluating our financial performance or to cash flow from operating, investing and financing activities when evaluating our liquidity or ability to make cash distributions or pay debt service.
 
Diluted FFO available to common share and common unit holders, as adjusted for comparability is defined as Diluted FFO adjusted to exclude: operating property acquisition costs; gain or loss on early extinguishment of debt; FFO associated with properties securing non-recourse debt on which we have defaulted and which we have extinguished, or expect to extinguish, via conveyance of such properties, including property NOI, interest expense and gains on debt extinguishment; loss on interest rate derivatives; demolition costs on redevelopment and nonrecurring improvements; executive transition costs; issuance costs associated with redeemed preferred shares; allocations of FFO to holders of noncontrolling interests resulting from capital events; and certain other expenses that we believe are not closely correlated with our operating performance.  This measure also includes adjustments for the effects of the items noted above pertaining to UJVs that were allocable to our ownership interest in the UJVs. We believe this to be a useful supplemental measure alongside Diluted FFO as it excludes gains and losses from certain investing and financing activities and certain other items that we believe are not closely correlated to (or associated with) our operating performance. We believe that net income is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to this non-GAAP measure.  This measure has essentially the same limitations as Diluted FFO, as well as the further limitation of not reflecting the effects of the excluded items; we compensate for these limitations in essentially the same manner as described above for Diluted FFO.
 
Diluted FFO per share is (1) Diluted FFO divided by (2) the sum of the (a) weighted average common shares outstanding during a period, (b) weighted average common units outstanding during a period and (c) weighted average number of potential additional common shares that would have been outstanding during a period if other securities that are convertible or exchangeable into common shares were converted or exchanged.  We believe that Diluted FFO per share is useful to investors because it provides investors with a further context for evaluating our FFO results in the same manner that investors use earnings per share (“EPS”) in evaluating net income available to common shareholders.  In addition, since most equity REITs provide Diluted FFO per share information to the investment community, we believe that Diluted FFO per share is a useful supplemental measure for comparing us to other equity REITs. We believe that diluted EPS is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to Diluted FFO per share. Diluted FFO per share has most of the same limitations as Diluted FFO (described above); management compensates for these limitations in essentially the same manner as described above for Diluted FFO.
 
Diluted FFO per share, as adjusted for comparability is (1) Diluted FFO, as adjusted for comparability divided by (2) the sum of the (a) weighted average common shares outstanding during a period, (b) weighted average common units outstanding during a period and (c) weighted average number of potential additional common shares that would have been outstanding during a period if other securities that are convertible or exchangeable into common shares were converted or exchanged.  We believe that this measure is useful to investors because it provides investors with a further context for evaluating our FFO results.  We believe this to be a useful supplemental measure alongside Diluted FFO per share as it excludes gains and losses from certain investing and financing activities and certain other items that we believe are not closely correlated to (or associated
54

with) our operating performance. We believe that diluted EPS is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to this per share measure.  This measure has most of the same limitations as Diluted FFO (described above) as well as the further limitation of not reflecting the effects of the excluded items; we compensate for these limitations in essentially the same manner as described above for Diluted FFO.
 
The computations for all of the above measures on a diluted basis assume the conversion of common units in COPLP but do not assume the conversion of other securities that are convertible into common shares if the conversion of those securities would increase per share measures in a given period.

The table below sets forth the computation of the above stated measures, and provides reconciliations to the GAAP measures of COPT and subsidiaries associated with such measures:

Net cash flow provided by financing activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $233.7 million, and included the following:

•net proceeds from debt borrowings of $348.3 million, which included the net increase from our issuance of the 2.25% Notes and purchase of the 3.70% Notes; offset in part by
•dividends and/or distributions to equity holders of $93.8 million.

Net cash flow used in financing activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $22.6 million, and included the following:

•dividends and/or distributions to equity holders of $93.5 million; offset in part by

Liquidity and Capital Resources of COPT

COPLP is the entity through which COPT, the sole general partner of COPLP, conducts almost all of its operations and owns almost all of its assets. COPT occasionally issues public equity but does not otherwise generate any capital itself or conduct any business itself, other than incurring certain expenses in operating as a public company which are fully reimbursed by COPLP. COPT itself does not hold any indebtedness, and its only material asset is its ownership of partnership interests of COPLP. COPT’s principal funding requirement is the payment of dividends on its common and preferred shares. COPT’s principal source of funding for its dividend payments is distributions it receives from COPLP.

As of September 30, 2020, COPT owned 98.6% of the outstanding common units in COPLP; the remaining common units and all of the outstanding preferred units were owned by third parties. As the sole general partner of COPLP, COPT has the full, exclusive and complete responsibility for COPLP’s day-to-day management and control.

The liquidity of COPT is dependent on COPLP’s ability to make sufficient distributions to COPT. The primary cash requirement of COPT is its payment of dividends to its shareholders. COPT also guarantees some of the Operating Partnership’s debt, as discussed further in Note 9 of the notes to consolidated financial statements included herein. If the Operating Partnership fails to fulfill certain of its debt requirements, which trigger COPT’s guarantee obligations, then COPT will be required to fulfill its cash payment commitments under such guarantees. However, COPT’s only significant asset is its investment in COPLP.

As discussed further below, we believe that the Operating Partnership’s sources of working capital, specifically its cash flow from operations, and borrowings available under its Revolving Credit Facility, are adequate for it to make its distribution payments to COPT and, in turn, for COPT to make its dividend payments to its shareholders.
57


COPT’s short-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of funds to pay for future dividends expected to be paid to its shareholders. COPT periodically accesses the public equity markets to raise capital by issuing common and/or preferred shares.

For COPT to maintain its qualification as a REIT, it must pay dividends to its shareholders aggregating annually to at least 90% of its ordinary taxable income. As a result of this distribution requirement, it cannot rely on retained earnings to fund its ongoing operations to the same extent that some other companies can. COPT may need to continue to raise capital in the equity markets to fund COPLP’s development activities and acquisitions.

Liquidity and Capital Resources of COPLP
 
COPLP’s primary cash requirements are for operating expenses, debt service, development of new properties and improvements to existing properties.  We expect COPLP to continue to use cash flow provided by operations as the primary source to meet its short-term capital needs, including property operating expenses, general and administrative expenses, interest expense, scheduled principal amortization of debt, distributions to its security holders and improvements to existing properties.  As of September 30, 2020, COPLP had $11.5 million in cash and cash equivalents.
 
COPLP’s senior unsecured debt is currently rated investment grade by the three major rating agencies. We aim to maintain an investment grade rating to enable COPLP to use debt comprised of unsecured, primarily fixed-rate debt (including the effect of interest rate swaps) from public markets and banks. COPLP also uses secured nonrecourse debt from institutional lenders and banks for joint venture financing. In addition, COPLP periodically raises equity from COPT when COPT accesses the public equity markets by issuing common and/or preferred shares.
 
COPLP uses its Revolving Credit Facility to initially finance much of its investing activities.  COPLP subsequently pays down the facility using cash available from operations and proceeds from long-term borrowings (net of any related hedging costs), equity issuances and sales of interests in properties.  The lenders’ aggregate commitment under the facility is $800.0 million, with the ability for COPLP to increase the lenders’ aggregate commitment to $1.25 billion, provided that there is no default under the facility and subject to the approval of the lenders. The facility matures in March 2023, and may be extended by two six-month periods at COPLP’s option, provided that there is no default under the facility and COPLP pays an extension fee of 0.075% of the total availability under the facility for each extension period. As of September 30, 2020, the maximum borrowing capacity under this facility totaled $800.0 million, of which $743.0 million was available.

COPT has a program in place under which it may offer and sell common shares in at-the-market stock offerings having an aggregate gross sales price of up to $300 million. Under this program, COPT may also, at its discretion, sell common shares under forward equity sales agreements. The use of a forward equity sales agreement would enable us to lock in a price on a sale of common shares when the agreement is executed but defer receiving the proceeds from the sale until a later date.

We believe that COPLP’s liquidity and capital resources are adequate for its near-term and longer-term requirements without necessitating property sales. However, we may dispose of interests in properties opportunistically or when capital markets otherwise warrant. As discussed above, on October 30, 2020, we sold a 90% interest in two data center shell properties for $81 million, which was used to repay borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility, and we retained a 10% interest in the properties through a joint venture. In addition, as of the date of this filing, we have a firm commitment for the sale of 80% of our ownership interest in GI-COPT DC Partnership LLC, an unconsolidated joint venture, for approximately $61 million. We believe that we have the ability to raise additional equity by selling interests in data center shells through joint ventures.

(1)The contractual obligations set forth in this table exclude contracts for property operations and certain other contracts entered into in the normal course of business. Also excluded are accruals and payables incurred and interest rate derivative liabilities, which are reflected in our reported liabilities (although debt and lease liabilities are included on the table).
(2)Represents scheduled principal amortization payments and maturities only and therefore excludes net debt discounts and deferred financing costs of $15.7 million. Maturities included $177.1 million in 2020, representing our 3.70% Notes that were redeemed in October 2020 using borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility, and $57.0 million in 2023 that may be extended to 2024, subject to certain conditions.
(3)We expect to pay these items using cash flow from operations.
(4)Represents interest costs for our outstanding debt as of September 30, 2020 for the terms of such debt.  For variable rate debt, the amounts reflected above used September 30, 2020 interest rates on variable rate debt in computing interest costs for the terms of such debt. We expect to pay these items using cash flow from operations.
(5)Represents contractual obligations pertaining to new development and redevelopment activities.
(6)Due to the long-term nature of certain development and construction contracts and leases included in these lines, the amounts reported in the table represent our estimate of the timing for the related obligations being payable.
(7)Represents contractual obligations pertaining to projects for which we are acting as construction manager on behalf of unrelated parties who are our clients.  We expect to be reimbursed in full for these costs by our clients.

We expect to spend approximately $75 million on development costs and approximately $30 million on improvements and leasing costs for operating properties (including the commitments set forth in the table above) during the remainder of 2020.  We expect to fund the development costs initially using primarily borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility.  We expect to fund improvements to existing operating properties using cash flow from operating activities.

Certain of our debt instruments require that we comply with a number of restrictive financial covenants, including maximum leverage ratio, unencumbered leverage ratio, minimum net worth, minimum fixed charge coverage, minimum unencumbered interest coverage ratio, minimum debt service and maximum secured indebtedness ratio.  As of September 30, 2020, we were compliant with these covenants.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
 We had no material off-balance sheet arrangements during the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Inflation
 
Most of our tenants are obligated to pay their share of a property’s operating expenses to the extent such expenses exceed amounts established in their leases, which are based on historical expense levels.  Some of our tenants are obligated to pay their full share of a building’s operating expenses.  These arrangements somewhat reduce our exposure to increases in such costs resulting from inflation.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements for information regarding recent accounting pronouncements.

Item 3.           Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
 
We are exposed to certain market risks, one of the most predominant of which is a change in interest rates.  Increases in interest rates can result in increased interest expense under our Revolving Credit Facility and other variable rate debt.  Increases in interest rates can also result in increased interest expense when our fixed rate debt matures and needs to be refinanced.
 
The following table sets forth as of September 30, 2020 our debt obligations and weighted average interest rates on debt maturing each year (dollars in thousands):

(1)Represents principal maturities only and therefore excludes net discounts and deferred financing costs of $15.7 million.
(2)As of September 30, 2020, maturities included $177.1 million in 2020, representing our 3.70% Notes that were redeemed in October 2020, and $57.0 million in 2023 that may be extended to 2024, subject to certain conditions.
(3)The amounts reflected above used interest rates as of September 30, 2020 for variable rate debt.

The fair value of our debt was $2.2 billion as of September 30, 2020.  If interest rates had been 1% lower, the fair value of our fixed-rate debt would have increased by approximately $55 million as of September 30, 2020.
 
See Note 10 to our consolidated financial statements for information pertaining to interest rate swap contracts in place as of September 30, 2020 and their respective fair values.

Based on our variable-rate debt balances, including the effect of interest rate swap contracts, our interest expense would have increased by $1.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 if the applicable LIBOR rate was 1% higher.

PART II: OTHER INFORMATION
 
Item 1.           Legal Proceedings
 
We are not currently involved in any material litigation nor, to our knowledge, is any material litigation currently threatened against the Company or the Operating Partnership (other than routine litigation arising in the ordinary course of business, substantially all of which is expected to be covered by liability insurance).
 
Item 1A.  Risk Factors
 
Other than as set forth below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors and uncertainties relating to our business and the ownership of our securities as previously set forth in Part 1, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 and Part II, Item 1A of the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020.

We may suffer further adverse effects from the COVID-19 pandemic, and similar pandemics, along with restrictive measures instituted to prevent spread. Since first being declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization in early March 2020, the coronavirus, or COVID-19, has spread worldwide. In an effort to control its spread, governments and other authorities imposed restrictive measures affecting freedom of movement and business operations, such as shelter-in-place orders and business closures. Strong restrictive measures were put into place in much of the United States beginning in March, bringing many businesses to a halt while forcing others to change the way in which they conduct their operations, with much of the workforce working from their homes to the extent they were able. States and local governments began easing these measures to varying extents in late April, with some lifting restrictive measures entirely, while others chose a more gradual, extended easing approach. While the easing of these measures has enabled many businesses to gradually resume normal operations, most businesses continue to be hindered to varying extents by either measures still in effect, operational challenges resulting from social distancing requirements/expectations and/or a reluctance by much of the population to engage in certain activities while the pandemic is still active. As of the date of this filing, COVID-19 spread continues world- and nation-wide, and is expected to continue until effective vaccinations have been developed and then distributed and administered to much of the population. As a result, there continues to be significant uncertainty regarding the duration and extent of this pandemic. The outbreak has significantly disrupted financial and economic markets worldwide, as well as in the United States at a national, regional and local level. These conditions could continue or further deteriorate as businesses feel the prolonged effects of stalled or reduced operations and uncertainty regarding the pandemic continues.

COVID-19, and similar pandemics, along with measures instituted to prevent spread, may adversely affect us in many ways, including, but not limited to:

•disruption of our tenants’ operations, which could adversely affect their ability, or willingness, to sustain their businesses and/or fulfill their lease obligations;
•our ability to maintain occupancy in our properties and obtain new leases for unoccupied and new development space at favorable terms or at all;
61

•shortages in supply of products or services from our and our tenants’ vendors that are needed for us and our tenants to operate effectively, and which could lead to increased costs for such products and services;
•access to debt and equity capital on attractive terms or at all. Severe disruption and instability in the global financial markets or deteriorations in credit and financing conditions may affect our or our tenants’ ability to access capital necessary to fund operations, refinance debt or fund planned investments on a timely basis, and may adversely affect the valuation of financial assets and liabilities;
•our and our tenants’ ability to continue or complete planned development, including the potential for delays in the supply of materials or labor necessary for development; and
•an increase in the pace of businesses implementing remote work arrangements over the long-term, which would adversely effect demand for office space.

The extent of the effect on our operations, financial condition, cash flows and ability to make expected distributions to shareholders will be dependent on future developments, including the duration of the pandemic and any future resurgence thereof, the prevalence, strength and duration of restrictive measures and the resulting effects on our tenants, potential future tenants, the commercial real estate industry and the broader economy, all of which are uncertain and difficult to predict. Moreover, some of the risks described in the risk factors set forth in Item 1A of our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q may be more likely to impact us as a result of COVID-19 and the responses to curb its spread, including, but not limited to: downturns in national, regional and local economic environments; deteriorating local real estate market conditions; and declining real estate valuations.
