Note 1.Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of GovernmentOffice Properties Income Trust and its subsidiaries, or GOV,OPI, we, us or our, are unaudited. Certain information and disclosures required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, for complete financial statements have been condensed or omitted. We believe the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. However, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016,2022, or our 2022 Annual Report. In the opinion of our management, all adjustments, which include onlyconsisting of normal recurring adjustmentsaccruals considered necessary for a fair presentation,statement of results for the interim period have been included. All intercompany transactions and balances with or among our consolidated subsidiaries have been eliminated. Our operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. Reclassifications have been made to the prior years’ condensed consolidated financial statements to conform to the current year’s presentation.
The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates in the condensed consolidated financial statements include purchase price allocations, useful lives of fixed assets and assessment of impairment of real estate and equity method investmentsthe related intangibles.
Termination of Merger with Diversified Healthcare Trust
As previously disclosed, on April 11, 2023, we and Diversified Healthcare Trust, or DHC, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, or the valuationMerger Agreement, pursuant to which we and DHC had agreed that DHC would merge with and into us, with us as the surviving entity in the merger, subject to the terms and conditions of intangible assets.

the Merger Agreement. On JanuarySeptember 1, 2017,2023, we adoptedand DHC mutually agreed to terminate the Financial Accounting StandardsMerger Agreement and entered into a termination agreement, or the Termination Agreement. The mutual termination of the Merger Agreement was separately recommended by our and DHC’s respective Special Committees of each Board or FASB, Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, No. 2017-01, Clarifying the Definition of a Business, which provides additional guidance on evaluating whetheratransaction shouldTrustees, and approved by our and DHC’s respective Board of Trustees. Neither we nor DHC will be accounted forrequired to pay any termination fee as an acquisition (or disposal) of assets or of a business. This update defines three requirements for a set of assets andactivities (collectively referred to as a “set”) to be considered a business: inputs, processes and outputs. As a result of the implementationmutual decision to terminate the Merger Agreement. We and DHC will bear our and its respective costs and expenses related to the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby in accordance with the terms of this update, certain property acquisitions,the Merger Agreement. We recorded $30,534 of expenses during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 related to the potential merger with DHC, which under previous guidance were accounted foras business combinations, are now accounted for as acquisitions of assets. In anis included in acquisition of assets, certain acquisitionand transaction related costs are capitalized as opposed to expensedunder the previous guidance.

On January 1, 2017, we adopted FASB ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation, which identifies areas for simplification involving several aspects of accounting for share based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, an option to recognize gross stock compensation expense with actual forfeitures recognized as they occur, as well as certain classifications on the condensed statement of cash flows. The adoption of ASU No. 2016-09 did not have a material impact in our condensed consolidated financial statements.statement of comprehensive income (loss).

In May 2014,Contemporaneously with the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue From Contracts With Customers, which outlines a comprehensive model forentities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. ASU No. 2014-09 states that “an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer ofpromised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods orservices.” While ASU No. 2014-09 specifically references contracts with customers, it may apply to certain other transactions such as the sale of real estate orequipment. In August 2015, the FASB provided for a one-year deferralexecution of the Merger Agreement, on April 11, 2023, we and our manager, The RMR Group LLC, or RMR, entered into a Third Amended and Restated Property Management Agreement, or the Amended Property Management Agreement. The effectiveness of the Amended Property Management Agreement was conditioned upon the consummation of the merger. Since the merger will not be consummated, the Amended Property Management Agreement will not become effective date for ASU No. 2014-09, which is now effective forand the Second Amended and Restated Property Management Agreement between us beginning January 1,2018. A substantial portion of our revenue consists of rental income from leasing arrangements, which is specifically excluded from ASU No. 2014-09. We arecontinuing to evaluate ASU No. 2014-09 (and related clarifying guidance issued by the FASB); however, we do not expect its adoption to have a significant impact on the amount or timing of our revenue recognitionand RMR will remain in our consolidated financial statements with the exception of profit recognition on real estate sales. Wecurrently have recorded a deferred gain on sale of real estate of $712 that under current guidance would be recognized upon repayment of a promissory note we received ineffect.

We currently expectthe Merger Agreement, on April 11, 2023, we entered into a commitment letter with an institutional lender, pursuant to adopt the standard using the modified retrospective approach.

In February 2016,two class method. We calculate diluted earnings per common share using the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases, which sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation anddisclosure of leases for both parties to a contract (i.e., lessees and lessors). ASU No. 2016-02 requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as eitherfinance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchasemore dilutive of the leased asset by the lessee. This classificationwill determine whether the lease expense is recognized based on an effective interesttwo class method or on a straight line basis over the term of the lease. A lessee is alsorequired to record a right of use assettreasury stock method. Unvested share awards and a lease liability for all leasesother potentially dilutive common shares, together with a term of greater than 12 months regardless of their classification. Leases with a termof 12 months or less will be accounted for similar to existing guidance for operating leases today. The new standard requires lessors to account for leases using anapproach that is substantially equivalent to existing guidance for sales type leases, direct financing leases and operating leases. ASU No. 2016-02 is effective forreporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. We are currently assessing the potential impact the adoption of ASU No.2016-02 will have in our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which requires that entities use a new forward looking “expected loss” model that generally will result in the earlier recognition of allowance for credit losses. The measurement of expected credit losses is based upon historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. ASU No. 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently assessing the potential impact the adoption of ASU No. 2016-13 will have in our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, which clarifies how companies present and classify certain cash receipts and cash payments in the statement of cash flows. ASU No. 2016-15 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We do not expect this guidance to have a material impact in our condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, Restricted Cash, which clarifies how companies should present restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents. Companies will show the changes in the total of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. The new standard requires a reconciliation of the totals in the statement of cash flows to the related captions in the balance sheets. ASU No. 2016-18 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Upon the adoption of ASU No. 2016-18, we will reconcile both cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents, whereas under the current guidance we explain the changes during the period for cash and cash equivalents only.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, Scope of Modification Accounting, which clarifies which changes to the terms or conditions of a share based payment awardimpact on earnings, are subject to the guidance on modification accounting under ASC 718. Entities would apply the modification accounting guidance unless the value, vesting requirements and classification of a share based payment award are the same immediately before and after a change to the terms or conditions of the award. ASU No. 2017-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We are continuing to evaluate ASU No. 2017-09; however, we do not expect its adoption to have a material impact in our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Note 4.3. Real Estate Properties
As of September 30, 2017, we2023, our wholly owned 74 properties (96 buildings),were comprised of 154 properties containing approximately 20,705,000 rentable square feet, with an undepreciated carrying value of $1,929,711.$4,081,026, including $17,390 classified as held for sale. We also had noncontrolling ownership interests of 51% and 50% in two unconsolidated joint ventures that own three properties containing approximately 451,000 rentable square feet. We generally lease space at our properties on a gross lease, or modified gross lease or net lease basis pursuant to fixed term contracts expiring between 20172023 and 2034.  Our2053. Some of our leases generally require us to pay all or some property operating expenses and to provide all or most property management services. During the three months ended September 30, 2017,2023, we entered into 1429 leases for 436,102approximately 586,000 rentable square feet for a weighted (by rentable square feet) average lease term of 8.47.4 years, and we made commitments of $25,359 for $7,902 of leasing related costs. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017,2023, we entered into 4268 leases for 1,084,633approximately 1,502,000 rentable square feet for a weighted (by rentable square feet) average lease term of 8.88.7 years, and we made commitments for $12,609approximately $74,744 of leasing related costs. As of September 30, 2017,2023, we havehad estimated unspent leasing related obligations of $26,631, and we have committed to redevelop and expand an existing property prior to commencement of the lease with an estimated remaining cost to complete as of September 30, 2017 of $3,302. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we capitalized $328 of interest expense related to the redevelopment and expansion of that existing property.
$137,223.
We regularly evaluate whether events or changes in circumstances have occurred that could indicate an impairment in the value of our long lived assets. Impairment indicators may include declining tenant occupancy, lack of progress leasing vacant space, tenant bankruptcies, low long term prospects for improvement in property performance, weak or declining tenant profitability, cash flow or liquidity, our decision to dispose of an asset before the end of its estimated useful life and legislative, market or industry changes that could permanently reduce the value of a property. If there is an indication that the carrying value of an asset is not recoverable, we estimate the projected undiscounted cash flows to determine if an impairment loss should be recognized. The future net undiscounted cash flows are subjective and are based in part on assumptions regarding hold periods, market rents and terminal capitalization rates. We determine the amount of any impairment loss by comparing the historical carrying value to estimated fair value. We estimate fair value through an evaluation of recent financial performance and projected discounted cash flows using standard industry valuation techniques. In addition to consideration of impairment upon the events or changes in circumstances described above, we regularly evaluate the remaining useful lives of our long lived assets. If we change our estimate of the remaining useful lives, we allocate the carrying value of the affected assets over their revised remaining useful lives.
Acquisition Activities
During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we acquired an office property (one building) located in Manassas, VA with 69,374 rentable square feet.  This property was 100% leased to Prince William County on the date of acquisition.  This transaction was accounted for as an acquisition of assets. The purchase price was $12,657, including capitalized acquisition costs of $37.  Our allocation of the purchase price of this acquisition based on the estimated fair values of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities is presented in the table below.

The historical FPO results of operations includedtable below, do not represent significant dispositions individually or in this pro forma financial information have been adjusted to removethe aggregate, nor do they represent a strategic shift in our business. As a result, the results of operations of these properties and joint venture interests FPO sold since January 1, 2016.

As of September 30, 2023, the aggregate unamortized basis difference of our two unconsolidated joint ventures of $6,123 was primarily attributable to the difference between the amount we paid to purchase our interest in these joint ventures, including transaction costs, and the historical carrying value of the net assets of these joint ventures. This difference is being amortized over the remaining useful life of the related properties and the resulting amortization expense is included in equity in net losses of investees in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).
In October 2023, our joint venture partner that has a 50% equity interest in the 1750 H Street, NW joint venture failed to fund a $600 capital call. We are currently evaluating our options regarding this funding and there can be no assurance that we will be successful pursuing any remedies available to us under the joint venture agreement.
Note 5.   Revenue Recognition4. Leases
We recognize rentalOur leases provide for base rent payments and, in addition, may include variable payments. Rental income from operating leases, that contain fixed contractual rent changesincluding any payments derived by index or market-based indices, is recognized on a straight line basis over the lease term when we have determined that the collectability of substantially all of the lease agreements.  Certainpayments is probable. Some of our leases with governmenthave options to extend or terminate the lease exercisable at the option of our tenants, which are considered when determining the lease term. Allowances for bad debts are recognized as a direct reduction of rental income. In certain circumstances, some leases provide the tenant with the right to terminate before the lease expiration date if the legislature or other funding authority does not appropriate the funding necessary for the government tenant to meet its lease obligations; we have determined the fixed non-cancelable lease term of these leases to be the full term of the lease because we believe the occurrence of early terminations to be a remote contingenciescontingency based on both our historical experience and our assessments of the likelihood of lease cancellation on a separate lease basis.
We increased rental income to record revenue on a straight line basis by $711$8,691 and $1,205$1,765 for the three months ended September 30, 20172023 and 2016,2022, respectively, and $3,115$17,120 and $1,789$7,226 for the nine months ended September 30, 20172023 and 2016,2022, respectively. Rents receivable, include $24,801excluding properties classified as held for sale, included $103,366 and $21,686$86,305 of straight line rent receivables net of allowance for doubtful accounts of $132 and $155, at September 30, 20172023 and December 31, 2016,2022, respectively.

Note 12.   Equity Investment in Select Income REIT
As described in Note 11, as of September 30, 2017, we owned 24,918,421, or approximately 27.8%, of the then outstanding SIR common shares.  SIR is a REIT which owns properties that are primarily leased to single tenants. 
We account for our investment in SIR under the equity method.  Under the equity method, we record our proportionate share of SIR’s net income as equity in earnings of an investee in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income.  We recorded $9,453 and $8,655 of equity in the earnings of SIR for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and $20,271 and $27,895 of equity in the earnings of SIR for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Our other comprehensive income includes our proportionate share of SIR’s unrealized gains of $1,236 and $3,192 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and $5,339 and $10,248 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
The adjusted GAAP cost basis of our investments in SIR was less than our proportionate share of SIR’s total shareholders’ equity book value on the dates we acquired the shares. As of September 30, 2017, our remaining basis difference was $87,976 and, as required under GAAP, we are accreting this basis difference to earnings over the estimated remaining useful lives of certain real estate assets and intangible assets and liabilities owned by SIR. This accretion increased our equity in the earnings of SIR by $736 and $740 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and $2,209 and $2,219 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
As of September 30, 2017, our investment in SIR had a carrying value of $475,265 and a market value, based on the closing price of SIR common shares on the Nasdaq on September 30, 2017, of $583,589. We periodically evaluate our equity investment in SIR for possible indicators of other than temporary impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the investment might not be recoverable.  These indicators may include the length of time the market value of our investment is below our cost basis, the financial condition of SIR, our intent and ability to be a long term holder of the investment and other considerations.  If the decline in fair value is judged to be other than temporary, we may record an impairment charge to adjust the basis of the investment to its fair value.
We received cash distributions from SIR totaling $12,708 during each of the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 and $38,125 and $37,627 during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Certain changes in office space utilization that accelerated during the COVID-19 pandemic, including increased remote work arrangements and tenants consolidating their real estate footprint, continue to impact the market. The utilization and demand for office space continues to face headwinds and the duration and ultimate impact of current trends on the demands for office space at our properties remains uncertain and subject to change. Accordingly, we do not yet know what the full extent of the impacts will be on our or our tenants’ businesses and operations nor the long-term outlook for leasing our properties.
In response to inflationary pressures, the U.S. Federal Reserve has increased the federal funds rate by 525 basis points since March 2022 and has indicated that there may be additional increases. The inflationary pressures and rising interest rates in the United States and globally, and global geopolitical hostilities and tensions, have given rise to concerns that the U.S. economy may soon enter an economic recession and they have caused disruptions in the financial markets. Sustained inflationary pressures, increased interest rates, an economic recession or continued or intensified disruptions in the financial markets could adversely affect our and our tenants’ financial condition, could adversely impact the ability or willingness of our tenants to renew our leases or pay rent to us, would impair our ability to effectively deploy our capital or realize desirable returns on our investments, may restrict our access to, and would likely increase our cost of, capital and may cause the values of our properties and our securities to decline.

The estimated aggregate transaction value of the FPO Transaction was approximately $1,374,624, including $651,696 in cash consideration paid to FPO shareholders, the repayment of $483,000 of FPO debt, the assumption of $167,549 of FPO mortgage debt and an additional $82,000 of mortgage debt that encumbers the two joint ventureFor more information regarding our properties which are 50% and 51% owned by FPO,classified as well as the payment of certain transaction fees and expenses, net of FPO cash on hand. We currently expect to complete our purchase price allocationheld for the FPO Transaction in the fourth quarter of 2017 upon completion of third party appraisalssale and our analysis of acquired in place leases and building valuations.

We financed the cash portion of the FPO Transaction consideration with borrowings under our revolving credit facility and with cash on hand, which included net proceeds from our public offerings of common shares and notes, as described further in Notes 7 and 9two unconsolidated joint ventures, see Note 3 to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

The FPO Transaction significantly increased our property portfolio. Giving effect to the completion of the FPO Transaction, we owned113 properties (170 buildings) that contain approximately 18.0 million square feet, including two properties owned by joint ventures in which we acquired FPO's 50% and 51% interests. Because the FPO Transaction was completed after the end of the 2017 third fiscal quarter, our results of operations for the three and nine months ending September 30, 2017 and 2016 do not include the properties and joint venture interests we acquired as part of the FPO Transaction. See "Acquisition and Disposition Activities" below for additional information related to the FPO Transaction.

As of September 30, 2017, we owned 24,918,421 common shares, or approximately 27.8% of the then outstanding common shares, of Select Income REIT, or SIR.

As of September 30, 2017,2023, we havehad estimated unspent leasing related obligations of $26,631 and have committed to redevelop and expand an existing property prior to commencement$137,223, of the lease with an estimated remaining cost to complete as of September 30, 2017 of $3,302.
We believe that current government budgetary pressures have resulted in a decrease in government employment, government tenants reducing their space utilization per employee and consolidation of government tenants into existing government owned properties, thereby reducing the demand for government leased space. Our historical experience with respect to properties of the typewhich we own that are majority leased to government tenants has been that government tenants frequently renew leases to avoid the costs and disruptions that may result from relocating their operations. However, efforts to reduce space utilization rates may result in our tenants exercising early termination rights under our leases, vacating our properties upon expiration of our leases in order to relocate, or in renewing their leases for less space than they currently occupy. Also, our government tenants' desire to reconfigure leased office space to reduce utilization per employee may require usexpect to spend significant amounts for tenant improvements, and tenant relocations have become more prevalent than our past experiences in instances where efforts by government tenants to reduce their space utilization require a significant reconfiguration of currently leased space. Increasing uncertainty with respect to government agency budgets and funding to implement relocations, consolidations and reconfigurations recently has resulted in delayed decisions by some of our

government tenants and their reliance on short term lease renewals. At present, we are unable to reasonably project what$73,666 over the financial impact of market conditions or changing government financial circumstances will be on our financial results for future periods.

The Internal Revenue Service, or IRS, has publicly stated that it plans to discontinue its tax return processing operations at our property located in Fresno, CA in 2021. The IRS lease for this property, which accounted for approximately 3.0% of our annualized rental income as of September 30, 2017, expires in the fourth quarter of 2021. The IRS has also publicly stated that it plans to discontinue its tax return processing operations in Covington, KY in 2019. Our property located in Florence, KY is leased to the IRS and we believe it is used to support the Covington, KY operations. This IRS lease, which accounted for approximately 0.9% of our annualized rental income as of September 30, 2017, expires in the second quarter of 2022, but is subject to possible early termination by our tenant. Despite its public announcements, the IRS has not sent us any official notices of its intentions regarding the Fresno, CA or Covington, KY properties.

Some of our leases allow the tenants to vacate the leased premises before the stated expirations of their leases with little or no liability. As of September 30, 2023, tenants occupying approximately 3.6% of our rentable square feet and responsible for approximately 10.2% of our annualized rental income as of September 30, 2017 have currently exercisable rights to terminate their leases before the stated terms of their leases expire. Also, in 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2026 and 2027, early termination rights become exercisable by other tenants who currently occupy an additional approximately 0.1%, 1.6%, 4.9%, 8.0%, 1.5%, 3.6%, 0.6%, 0.9% and 0.6% of our rentable square feet, respectively, and contribute an additional approximately 0.0%, 2.2%, 5.1%, 8.3%, 1.5%, 2.9%, 0.7%, 1.2% and 0.6% of our annualized rental income, respectively, as of September 30, 2017. In addition, as of September 30, 2017, 15 of our government tenants have currently exercisable rights to terminate their leases if the legislature or other funding authority does not appropriate rent amounts in their respective annual budgets. These 15 tenants occupy approximately 17.3% of our rentable square feet and contribute approximately 16.8% of our annualized rental income as of September 30, 2017.

(2)Leased square feet is pursuant to leases existing as of September 30, 2017, and includes (i) space being fitted out for tenant occupancy pursuant to our lease agreements, if any, and (ii) space which is leased, but is not occupied or is being offered for sublease by tenants, if any.  Square feet measurements are subject to changes when space is re-measured or re-configured for new tenants.

Acquisition and Disposition Activities (dollar amounts in thousands)
In January 2017, we acquired an office property (one building) located in Manassas, VA with 69,374 rentable square feet and responsible for a purchase priceapproximately 3.6% of $12,620, excluding capitalized acquisition costs of $37, using cash on hand and borrowings under our revolving credit facility.  We acquired this property at a capitalization rate of 8.6%.  We calculate the capitalization rate for property acquisitions as the ratio of (x) annual straight lineannualized rental income excluding the impact of above and below market lease amortization, based on leases in effect on the acquisition date, less estimated annual property operating expenses that we expected to pay as of September 30, 2023 had exercisable rights to terminate their leases before the acquisition date, excluding depreciationstated terms of their leases expire. Also, in 2023, 2024, 2025, 2026, 2027, 2028, 2029, 2030, 2031, 2032, 2034, 2035, 2036, 2037 and amortization expense,2040, early termination rights become exercisable by other tenants who occupied an additional approximately 1.0%, 2.6%, 2.6%, 1.6%, 1.3%, 3.9%, 0.8%, 0.9%, 0.6%, 0.3%, 0.2%, 0.9%, 0.1%, 0.1% and 0.3% of our rentable square feet, respectively, and contributed an additional approximately 1.1%, 2.9%, 5.0%, 2.2%, 1.6%, 4.4%, 1.4%, 1.0%, 0.5%, 0.6%, 0.6%, 1.2%, 0.3%, 0.2% and 0.4% of our annualized rental income, respectively, as of September 30, 2023. In addition, as of September 30, 2023, pursuant to (y) the acquisition purchase price, including the principal amountleases with nine of assumed debt,our tenants, these tenants had rights to terminate their leases if their respective legislature or other funding authority does not appropriate rent amounts in their respective annual budgets. These nine tenants occupied approximately 4.8% of our rentable square feet and contributed approximately 5.2% of our annualized rental income as of September 30, 2023.
(2)Leased square feet is pursuant to leases existing as of September 30, 2023, and includes (i) space being fitted out for tenant occupancy pursuant to our lease agreements, if any, and excluding acquisition costs.(ii) space which is leased, but is not occupied or is being offered for sublease by tenants, if any. Square feet measurements are subject to changes when space is remeasured or reconfigured for new tenants.

In September 2017,We generally will seek to renew or extend the terms of leases at properties with tenants when they expire. However, market and economic factors, along with increases in remote work, changes in space utilization and government spending and budget priorities, may cause our tenants not to renew or extend their leases when they expire, or to seek to renew their leases for less space than they currently occupy. If we acquired transferable development rights that would allow usare unable to expand a propertyextend or renew our leases, or we own in Washington, D.C.renew leases for a purchase pricereduced space, it may be time consuming and expensive to relet some of $2,030, excluding acquisition costs.

these properties.
As described above,of September 30, 2023, we completed the FPO Transaction on October 2, 2017. Pursuant to that transaction, we acquired 39 officederived 21.6% of our annualized rental income from our properties (74 buildings) with 6,454,382 rentable square feet, including two properties owned by joint ventures in which we acquired FPO's 50% and 51% interests. The estimated aggregate transaction value of the FPO Transaction was $1,374,624.

Our ownership and operation of office propertieslocated in the metropolitan Washington, D.C. market area, increased significantlywhich includes Washington, D.C., Northern Virginia and suburban Maryland. Current economic conditions in this area or a possible recession, including as a result of the FPO Transaction and we may acquire additionalcurrent inflationary conditions or otherwise, could reduce demand from tenants for our properties, reduce rents that our tenants in this area are willing to pay when our leases expire and increase lease concessions for new leases and renewals. Additionally, there has been a decrease in demand for new leased office space by the future. Outside ofU.S. government, including in the metropolitan Washington, D.C. market area, our strategy related to property acquisitions is materially unchanged fromand that disclosed in our Annual Report and we will continue to explore and evaluatecould increase competition for possible acquisition additional properties that are majority leased to government tenants and adversely affect our ability to retain government contractor tenants. Untiltenants or maintain or increase our rents when our leases expire.
Our manager, RMR, employs a tenant review process for us. RMR assesses tenants on an individual basis based on various applicable credit criteria. In general, depending on facts and circumstances, RMR evaluates the creditworthiness of a tenant based on information concerning the tenant that is provided by the tenant and, in some cases, information that is publicly available or obtained from third party sources. We consider investment grade tenants to include: (a) investment grade rated tenants; (b) tenants with investment grade rated parent entities that guarantee the tenant’s lease obligations; and/or (c) tenants with investment grade rated parent entities that do not guarantee the tenant’s lease obligations. As of September 30, 2023, tenants contributing 53.6% of annualized rental income were investment grade rated (or their payment obligations were guaranteed by an investment grade rated parent) and tenants contributing an additional 10.4% of annualized rental income were subsidiaries of an investment grade rated parent (although these parent entities were not liable for the payment of rents).

(1)(1)Comparable properties consists of 147 properties consist of 71 properties (91 buildings) we owned on September 30, 2017 and which we owned continuously since July 1, 2016.
(2)Acquired properties consist of three properties (five buildings) we acquired since July 1, 2016.
(3)Disposed property consists of one property (one building) which we sold in July 2016 and excludes one property (one building) classified as discontinued operations which was sold in August 2017.
(4)The calculation of net operating income, or NOI, excludes certain components of net income in order to provide results that are more closely related to our property level results of operations. We define NOI as income from our rental of real estate less our property operating expenses. NOI excludes amortization of capitalized tenant improvement costs and leasing commissions that we record as depreciation and amortization. We consider NOI to be an appropriate supplemental measure to net income because it may help both investors and management to understand the operations of our properties. We use NOI to evaluate individual and company wide property level performance, and we believe that NOI provides useful information to investors regarding our results of operations because it reflects only those income and expense items that are generated and incurred at the property level and may facilitate comparisons of our operating performance between periods and with other REITs. NOI does not represent cash generated by operating activities in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, and should not be considered an alternative to net income or operating income as an indicator of our operating performance or as a measure of our liquidity. This measure should be considered in conjunction with net income and operating income as presented in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Other REITs and real estate companies may calculate NOI differently than we do.
(5)We calculate funds from operations, or FFO, and normalized funds from operations, or Normalized FFO, as shown above. FFO is calculated on the basis defined by The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, which is net income, calculated in accordance with GAAP, plus real estate depreciation and amortization and the difference between FFO attributable to an equity investment and equity in earnings of an equity investee but excluding impairment charges on and increases in the carrying value of real estate assets, any gain or loss on sale of properties, as well as certain other adjustments currently not applicable to us. Our calculation of Normalized FFO differs from NAREIT's definition of FFO because we include SIR's Normalized FFO attributable to our equity investment in SIR, net of FFO attributable to our equity investment in SIR, we include business management incentive fees, if any, only in the fourth quarter versus the quarter when they are recognized as expense in accordance with GAAP due to their quarterly volatility not necessarily being indicative of our core operating performance and the uncertainty as to whether any such business management incentive fees will be payable when all contingencies for determining such fees are known at the end of the calendar year, and we exclude acquisition related costs expensed under GAAP, gains and losses on issuance of shares by SIR and gains and losses on early extinguishment of debt. We consider FFO and Normalized FFO to be appropriate supplemental measures of operating performance for a REIT, along with net income and operating income. We believe that FFO and Normalized FFO provide useful information to investors because by excluding the effects of certain historical amounts, such as depreciation expense, FFO and Normalized FFO may facilitate a comparison of our operating performance between periods and with other REITs. FFO and Normalized FFO are among the factors considered by our Board of Trustees when determining the amount of distributions to our shareholders. Other factors include, but are not limited to, requirements to maintain our qualification for taxation as a REIT, limitations in our credit agreement and public debt covenants, the availability to us of debt and equity capital, our expectation of our future capital requirements and operating performance, our receipt of distributions from SIR and our expected needs and availability of cash to pay our obligations. FFO and Normalized FFO do not represent cash generated by operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered alternatives to net income or operating income as indicators of our operating performance or as measures of our liquidity. These measures should be considered in conjunction with net income and operating income as presented in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Other REITs and real estate companies may calculate FFO and Normalized FFO differently than we do.
(6)Incentive fees under our business management agreement are payable after the end of each calendar year, are calculated based on common share total return, as defined, and are included in general and administrative expenses in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. In calculating net income in accordance with GAAP, we recognize estimated business management incentive fee expense, if any, in the first, second and third quarters. Although we recognize this expense, if any, in the first, second and third quarters for purposes of calculating net income, we do not include such expense in the calculation of Normalized FFO until the fourth quarter, when the amount of the business management incentive fee expense for the calendar year, if any, is determined. General and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2017 includes the reversal of $893 of previously accrued estimated business management fees.


We refer to the 71 properties (91 buildings) we owned on September 30, 20172023 and which we have owned continuously since July 1, 20162022 and excludes two properties classified as comparable properties. We refer to theheld for sale, five properties undergoing significant redevelopment and three properties (five buildings)owned by two unconsolidated joint ventures in which we acquired since July 1, 2016 asown 51% and 50% interests.
(2)Our definition of net operating income, or NOI, and our reconciliation of net (loss) income to NOI are included below under the acquired properties. We refer to the one property (one building) we sold in July 2016 as the disposed property.
Our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the three months ended September 30, 2017 include the operating results of three acquired properties (five buildings) for the entire period, as we acquired those properties prior to July 1, 2017 and exclude the operating results of the one disposed property (one building) for the entire period, as we sold that property prior to July 1, 2017. Our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the three months ended September 30, 2016 exclude the operating results of three acquired properties (five buildings) for the entire period, as we acquired those properties after September 30, 2016 and include the operating results of the one disposed property (one building) for less than the entire period as we sold that property during the three months ended September 30, 2016.

Other operating expenses. Other operating expenses for the acquirednon-comparable properties declined $5,450 related to our property disposition activities and $100 for properties undergoing significant redevelopment, partially offset by an increase of $4,590 for comparable properties due to the combined impact of utility expense decreases atinflation in the comparable properties and the disposed property. Utility expenses at the comparable properties decreased $101 primarily due to a decrease in electricity usage at certain of our

properties during the 2017 period. Utility expenses increased $981 as a result of the acquired properties. We also realized a decrease of $24 in utility expenses as a result of the disposed property.

Depreciation and amortization. The increasedecrease in depreciation and amortization primarily reflects thedecreases of $9,401 for comparable properties, $4,142 related to our property disposition activities and $1,891 for properties undergoing significant redevelopment. Depreciation and amortization for comparable properties decreased due to certain leasing related assets becoming fully depreciated since January 1, 2022, partially offset by depreciation and amortization from the acquired properties and the effect of improvements made to certain of our properties since January 1, 2016, partially offset by the effect of certain assets becoming fully depreciated. Depreciation and amortization increased $5,974 as a result of the acquired properties. Depreciation and amortization at comparable properties increased $1,262 due primarily to depreciation and amortization of improvements made to certain of our properties after January 1, 2016, partially offset by certain leasing related assets becoming fully depreciated in 2016 and 2017. 2022.

Interest expense. The increase in interest expense reflects higher average amounts outstanding debt balances and higher weighted average interest rates on borrowings under our revolving credit facility, as well as the issuance of six mortgage notes with an aggregate principal balance of $177,320 and a weighted average interest rate of 7.8% during the 20172023 period, compared topartially offset by the 2016 period.redemption of our $300,000 senior unsecured notes with an interest rate of 4.0% in June 2022, higher capitalized interest in the 2023 period and the repayment of three mortgage notes since January 1, 2022 with an aggregate principal balance of approximately $98,000 and a weighted average interest rate of 4.1%.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We present certain “non-GAAP financial measures” within the meaning of the applicable rules of the SEC, including the calculations below of NOI, funds from operations, or FFO, and normalized funds from operations, or Normalized FFO. These measures do not represent cash generated by operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered alternatives to net (loss) income as indicators of our operating performance or as measures of our liquidity. These measures should be considered in conjunction with net (loss) income as presented in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). We consider these non-GAAP measures to be appropriate supplemental measures of operating performance for a REIT, along with net (loss) income. We believe these measures provide useful information to investors because by excluding the effects of certain historical amounts, such as depreciation and amortization expense, they may facilitate a comparison of our operating performance between periods and with other REITs and, in the case of NOI, reflecting only those income and expense items that are generated and incurred at the property level may help both investors and management to understand the operations of our properties.
Net Operating Income
The percentage decreasecalculation of NOI excludes certain components of net (loss) income in order to provide results that are more closely related to our property level results of operations. We calculate NOI as shown below. We define NOI as income from our rental of real estate less our property operating expenses. NOI excludes amortization of capitalized tenant improvement costs and leasing commissions that we record as depreciation and amortization expense. We use NOI to evaluate individual and company-wide property level performance. Other real estate companies and REITs may calculate NOI differently than we do.

Funds From Operations and Normalized Funds From Operations
We calculate FFO and Normalized FFO as shown below. FFO is calculated on the basis defined by The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, which is net (loss) income, calculated in accordance with GAAP, plus real estate depreciation and amortization of consolidated properties and our proportionate share (basicof the real estate depreciation and diluted) is higher primarilyamortization of unconsolidated joint venture properties, but excluding impairment charges on real estate assets and any gain or loss on sale of real estate, as well as certain other adjustments currently not applicable to us. In calculating Normalized FFO, we adjust for the other items shown below and include business management incentive fees, if any, only in the fourth quarter versus the quarter when they are recognized as an expense in accordance with GAAP due to their quarterly volatility not necessarily being indicative of our core operating performance and the uncertainty as to whether any such business management incentive fees will be payable when all contingencies for determining such fees are known at the end of the calendar year. FFO and Normalized FFO are among the factors considered by our Board of Trustees when determining the amount of distributions to our shareholders. Other factors include, but are not limited to, requirements to maintain our qualification for taxation as a resultREIT, limitations in our credit agreement and public debt covenants, the availability to us of debt and equity capital, our expectation of our future capital requirements and operating performance and our expected needs for and availability of cash to pay our obligations. Other real estate companies and REITs may calculate FFO and Normalized FFO differently than we do.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our Operating Liquidity and Resources (dollar amounts in thousands)
thousands, except per share amounts)
Our principal sources of funds to meet operating and capital expenses, pay debt service obligations and paymake distributions onto our common sharesshareholders are the operating cash flows we generate as rental income from our properties, the distributions we receivenet proceeds from our investments in SIR and RMR Inc.property sales and borrowings under our revolving credit facility. We believe that these sources of funds will be sufficient to meet our operating and capital expenses, andpay debt service obligations and paymake distributions onto our common sharesshareholders for the next 12 months and for the foreseeable future thereafter. Our future cash flows from operating activities will depend primarily upon:
our ability to collect rent from our tenants;
our ability to maintain or increase the occupancy of, and the rental rates at, our properties;
our ability to control operating and capital expenses at our properties;
our ability to successfully sell properties that we market for sale;
our ability to develop, redevelop or reposition properties to produce cash flows in excess of our cost of capital and property operating and capital expenses; and

our ability to purchase additional properties which produce cash flows from operations in excess of our cost of acquisition capital and property operating expenses; and capital expenses.
On October 12, 2023, we announced a regular quarterly cash distribution of $0.25 per common share ($1.00 per common share per year). We determine our receiptdistribution payout ratio with consideration for our expected capital expenditures as well as cash flows from operations and payment of distributionsdebt obligations.
Pursuant to our capital recycling program, we selectively sell certain properties from time to time to manage leverage levels and to acquire new properties or portfolios with a goal of improving our investmentsasset diversification, our geographical footprint and the average age of our properties, lengthening the weighted average term of our leases and increasing tenant retention. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we sold six properties for an aggregate sales price of $23,575, excluding closing costs. We continue to evaluate our portfolio to strategically recycle capital and are currently in SIRvarious stages of marketing certain of our properties for sale. As of October 27, 2023, we have entered into agreements to sell two properties for an aggregate sales price of $21,299, excluding closing costs. We cannot be sure we will sell any properties we are marketing for sale for prices in excess of their carrying values or otherwise. In addition, our pending sales are subject to conditions; accordingly, we cannot be sure that we will complete these sales or that these sales will not be delayed or the terms will not change. We continue to carefully consider our capital allocation strategy to position us to opportunistically recycle and RMR Inc.
deploy capital.
Our future purchases of properties cannot be accurately projected because such purchases depend upon purchase opportunities which come to our attention and our ability to successfully complete the acquisitions. We generally do not intend to purchase “turn around” properties, or properties which do not generate positive cash flows.

The increase in2022 period to cash flows used in investing activities forin the nine month period ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the corresponding prior year2023 period was primarily due primarilyto lower proceeds received from property sales in the 2023 period and increased capital expenditures in the 2023 period related to our depositredevelopment activities.

Our Investment and Financing Liquidity and Resources (dollar amounts in thousands, except per share and per square foot amounts)
In order to fund acquisitions and to meet cash needs that may result from our desire or need to make distributions or pay operating or capital expenses, we maintain a $750,000 unsecured revolving credit facility. The maturity date ofIn June 2023, we exercised our revolving credit facility is January 31, 2019 and, subject to our payment of an extension fee and meeting other conditions, we have an option to extend the stated maturity date of our revolving credit facility by one yearsix months to January 31, 2020.2024. We can borrow, repay and reborrow funds available under our revolving credit facility until maturity, and no principal repayment is due until maturity. In March 2023, we amended our credit agreement to, among other things, replace LIBOR with SOFR as the benchmark interest rate for calculating interest payable on amounts outstanding under our revolving credit facility. We are required to pay interest at a rate of LIBORSOFR plus a premium, which was 125145 basis points per annum at September 30, 2017,2023, on the amount outstanding under our revolving credit facility. We also pay a facility fee on the total amount of lending commitments under our revolving credit facility, which was 2530 basis points per annum at September 30, 2017.2023. Both the interest rate premium and the facility fee are subject to adjustment based upon changes to our credit ratings. We can borrow, repay and reborrow funds available under our revolving credit facility until maturity, and no principal repayment is due until maturity. As of September 30, 2017, the annual interest rate payable on borrowings under our revolving credit facility was 2.4%. As of September 30, 2017 and October 30, 2017, we had $565,000 and $545,000, respectively, outstanding under our revolving credit facility.

Our revolving credit facility is governed by a credit agreement with a syndicate of institutional lenders, which also governs our two unsecured term loans:
Our $300,000 term loan, which matures on March 31, 2020, is prepayable without penalty at any time. We are required to pay interest at LIBOR plus a premium, which was 140 basis points per annum at September 30, 2017, on the amount outstanding under our $300,000 term loan.  The interest rate premium is subject to adjustment based upon changes to our credit ratings.

revolving credit facility, and $550,000 and $545,000, respectively, available for borrowing, subject to meeting required financial covenants.
Our credit agreement also includes a feature under which the maximum borrowing availability may be increased to up to $2,500,000 on a combined basis$1,950,000 in certain circumstances.
Our credit agreement for our revolving credit facility and term loans provides that, with certain exceptions, a subsidiary of ours is required to guaranty our obligations under theour $750,000 revolving credit facility and term loans only if that subsidiary has separately incurred debt (other than nonrecourse debt), within the meaning specified in theour credit agreement, or provided a guarantee of debt incurred by us or any of our other subsidiaries.
We are currently in discussion with our lenders regarding a new revolving credit facility. We are also evaluating different options to repay our maturing senior notes, including new financings and potential property sales. While our plans could be impacted by factors outside of our control, including unfavorable market, economic and commercial real estate conditions, we believe based on our current discussions and history of working with our lenders that it is probable that these plans will allow us to repay our maturing debt.
Our $350,000Mortgage Notes Issuances
During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we issued six mortgage notes with an aggregate principal balance of 3.75% senior unsecured notes due 2019 are governed by an indenture$177,320 and a supplementweighted average interest rate of 7.8%. The net proceeds from these mortgage loans were used to that indenture and require semi-annual paymentsrepay amounts outstanding under our revolving credit facility. See Note 6 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of interest only through maturity in August 2019 and may bethis Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information regarding our mortgage note issuances.
Mortgage Note Repayment
In June 2023, we repaid at par (plus accruedmaturity, a mortgage note secured by one property with an outstanding principal balance of $50,000 and unpaid interest)an annual interest rate of 3.7% using cash on or after July 15, 2019 or before that date together with a make whole premium.

Our $310,000 of 5.875% senior unsecured notes due 2046 are governed by an indenturehand and a supplement to that indenture and require quarterly payments of interest only through maturity and may be repaid at par (plus accrued and unpaid interest) on or after May 26, 2021.

Our $300,000 of 4.000% senior unsecured notes due 2022 are governed by an indenture and a supplement to that indenture and require semi-annual payments of interest only through maturity in July 2022 and may be repaid at par (plus accrued and unpaid interest) on or after June 15, 2022.

We are also in the process of redeveloping a three-property campus located in Seattle, WA containing approximately 300,000 rentable square feet. This project includes the repositioning of two properties from office to fund somelife science and maintaining the third property for office use. We currently estimate the total project costs associated with this redevelopment to be approximately $162,000 and completion of the FPO Transaction cash consideration.

redevelopment in the first quarter of 2024. As of September 30, 2023, we had incurred $117,873 related to this project. In connection withAugust 2022, we entered into an approximately 10-year lease for approximately 84,000 rentable square feet at one of the FPO Transaction, we assumed five mortgage notes with an aggregate principal balance of $167,549. These mortgage notes are secured by fivelife science properties (five buildings). In connection withthat is approximately 109.0% higher than the FPO Transaction, we also assumed two mortgage notes with an aggregate principal balance of $82,000, which are secured by two properties owned by joint ventures in which we acquired FPO's 50% and 51%interests.

We currently expect to use cash balances, borrowings under ourany revolving credit facility we may then have, net proceeds from our property sales, distributions received from our investments in SIR and RMR Inc., assumptionincurrences or assumptions of mortgage debt and net proceeds from offerings of equitydebt or debtequity securities to fund our future operations, capital expenditures, distributions to our shareholders and property acquisitions. When significant amounts are outstanding under our revolving credit facility or the maturities of our indebtedness approach, we expect to explore refinancing alternatives. Such alternatives may include incurring additional term debt, issuing equitydebt or debtequity securities, extending the maturity date of our revolving credit facility and entering into a new

revolving credit facility. We may assume additional mortgage debt in connection with our acquisitions or elect to place new mortgages on properties we own as a source of financing. We may also seek to participate in additional joint ventureventures or other arrangements that may provide us with additional sources of financing. Although we cannot be sure that we will be successful in consummating any particular type of financing, we believe that we will have access to financing, such as debt and equity offerings, to fund future acquisitions and capital expenditures and to pay our obligations. We currently have an effective shelf registration statement that allows us to issue public securities on an expedited basis, but it does not assure that there will be buyers for such securities.
To partially finance the FPO Transaction, we entered into a commitment letter with Citigroup Global Markets Inc., or Citigroup, pursuant to which, on and subject to the terms and conditions of the commitment letter, Citigroup and a group of institutional lenders committed to provide us a bridge loan facility. On July 20, 2017, we and the lenders terminated this commitment letter and bridge loan facility after we raised the necessary funding for the FPO Transaction by our issuance of senior unsecured notes and the proceeds from the sale of our common shares in July 2017. As a result of the termination of this bridge loan facility we recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of $1,715.

Our ability to obtain, and the costs of, our future debt financings will depend primarily on credit market conditions and our creditworthiness. We have no control over market conditions. Potential investors and lenders likely will evaluate our ability to pay distributions to shareholders, fund required debt service and repay debts when they become due by reviewing our business practices and plans to balance our use of debt and equity capital so that our financial profile and leverage ratios afford us flexibility to withstand any reasonably anticipated adverse changes. Similarly, our ability to raise equity capital in the future will depend primarily upon equity capital market conditions and our ability to conduct our business to maintain and grow our operating cash flows. We intend to conduct our business in a manner whichthat will afford us reasonable access to capital for investment and financing activities, but we cannot be sure that we will be able to successfully carry out this intention. For instance, it is uncertain what the ultimate impacts of inflationary pressures, rising or sustained high interest rates or any economic recession will be. A protracted and extensive economic recession or continued or intensified disruptions in capital markets could limit our access to financing from public sources and would likely increase our cost of capital.

In June 2017, both Moody's Investors Service, or Moody's, and Standard & Poor's Ratings Services, or S&P, updated our ratings outlook to negative as a result of uncertainties arising fromDuring the FPO Transaction. Negative outlooks may imply that our debt ratings may be downgraded unless we are successful in reorganizing our financial profile.

On February 23, 2017 and May 22, 2017,nine months ended September 30, 2023, we paid a regular quarterly distributiondistributions to commonour shareholders of record on January 23, 2017 and April 21, 2017, of $0.43 per share, or $30,606 on each of those dates. On August 21, 2017, we paid a regular distribution to common shareholders of record on July 24, 2017, of $0.43 per share, or $41,364. We funded these distributionstotaling $50,998 using cash on hand and borrowings under our revolving credit facility. On October 12, 2017,2023, we declared a regular quarterly distribution payable to common shareholders of record on October 23, 20172023 of $0.43$0.25 per share, or $42,633.approximately $12,200. We expect to pay this distribution on or about November 20, 201716, 2023 using cash on hand and borrowings under our revolving credit facility. For more information regarding the distributions we paid and declared during 2023, see Note 8 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
AsWe own 51% and 50% interests in two unconsolidated joint ventures which own three properties. The properties owned by these joint ventures are encumbered by an aggregate $82,000 principal amount of mortgage indebtedness, none of which is recourse to us. In July 2023, the maturity date of the mortgage loan secured by the property owned by our unconsolidated joint venture, in which we have a 50% interest, was extended by three years at the same interest rate. In October 2023, our joint venture partner that has a 50% equity interest in the 1750 H Street, NW joint venture failed to fund a $600 capital call. We are currently evaluating our options regarding this funding and there can be no assurance that we will be successful pursuing any remedies available to us under the joint venture agreement. We do not control the activities that are most significant to these joint ventures and, as a result, we account for our investments in these joint ventures under the equity method of accounting. For more information on the financial condition and results of operations of these joint ventures, see Note 3 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Other than these joint ventures, as of September 30, 2017,2023, we had no off balance sheet arrangements that have had or that we expect would be reasonably likely to have a material effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Debt Covenants (dollars in thousands)
Our principal debt obligations atas of September 30, 20172023 consisted of $200,000 of borrowings outstanding under our $750,000 unsecured revolving credit facility, our $300,000 term loan, our $250,000 term loan, an aggregate outstanding principal amountbalance of $960,000$2,212,000 of public issuances of senior unsecured notes and three secured mortgage notes that were assumedwith an outstanding principal balance $177,320. Also, the three properties owned by two joint ventures in connection with certain of our acquisitions.which we own 51% and 50% interests secure two additional mortgage notes. Our publicly issued senior unsecured notes are governed by indentures and their supplements. In addition, as noted elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, on October 2, 2017, we assumed five secured mortgage notes in connection with the FPO Transaction. Also, the two joint venture properties acquired in the FPO Transaction secure two additional mortgage notes. Our credit agreement and our senior unsecured notes indentures and their supplements and the credit agreement for our revolving credit facility and our two term loans provide for acceleration of payment of all amounts outstanding upon the occurrence and continuation of certain events of default, such as, in the case of our credit agreement, a change of control of us, which includes the RMR Group LLC, or RMR LLC, ceasing to act as our business and property manager. Our credit agreement and our senior unsecured notes indentures and their supplements and our credit agreement also contain a number of covenants, which generallyincluding those that restrict our ability to incur debts, including debts secured by mortgages on our properties, in excess of calculated amounts, require us to maintain variouscomply with certain financial ratios,covenants and, in the case of our credit agreement, restrict our ability to make distributions to our shareholders inunder certain circumstances. Our mortgage notes are non-recourse, subject to certain limited exceptions, and do not contain any material financial covenants. As of September 30, 2017,2023, we believe we were in compliance with the terms and conditions of our respective covenants under our credit agreement and senior unsecured notes indentures and their supplements. Our mortgage notes are non-recourse, subject to certain limited exceptions, and do not contain any material financial covenants.
Neither our credit agreement nor our senior unsecured notes indentures and their supplements contain provisions for acceleration which could be triggered by our debtcredit ratings. However, under our credit agreement, our highest senior debtcredit rating is used to determine the fees and interest rates we pay. Accordingly, if that debtcredit rating is downgraded, our interest expense and related costs under our credit agreement would increase. As noted above, in June 2017, both Moody'sIn March 2023, Moody’s Investors Service, or Moody’s, downgraded our senior unsecured debt rating from Ba1 to Ba2 and S&P updatedGlobal Ratings, or S&P, downgraded our senior unsecured debt rating outlookfrom BBB- to negative, which may imply that downgradesBB+. As a result, the interest rate premium under our revolving credit facility increased 35 basis points effective April 1, 2023. In April 2023, following the announcement of the merger with DHC, Moody’s downgraded our senior unsecured debt rating from Ba2 to Ba3. In September 2023, following the termination of the merger with DHC, Moody’s downgraded our creditsenior unsecured debt rating will occur unless we are successful in reorganizingfrom Ba3 to B2 and S&P downgraded our financial profile.senior unsecured debt rating from BB+ to BB.
Our credit agreement has cross default provisions to other indebtedness that is recourse of $25,000 or more and indebtedness that is non-recourse of $50,000 or more. Similarly, our senior unsecured notes indentures and their supplements contain cross default provisions to any other debts of more than $25,000 (or up to $50,000 in certain circumstances).
Related Person Transactions
We have relationships and historical and continuing transactions with RMR, LLC, RMR Inc., SIR, AIC and others related to them. For example: we have no employees and the personnel and various services we require to operate our business are provided to us by RMR LLC pursuant to our management agreements with RMR LLC; RMR Inc. is the managing member of RMR LLC; ABP Trust, which is owned by our Managing Trustees, is the controlling shareholder of RMR Inc.; and we own shares of class A common stock of RMR Inc. We also have relationships and historical and continuing transactions with other companies to which RMR LLC provides management services and which may have trustees, directors and officers who are also trustees, directors or officers of us, RMR LLC or RMR Inc., including: SIR, of which we are the largest shareholder, owning, at September 30, 2017, approximately 27.8% of the outstanding SIR common shares; and AIC, of which we, SIR, ABP Trust and four other companies to which RMR LLC provides management services each own 14.3% and which arranges and reinsures in part a combined property insurance program for us and its six other shareholders. For furthermore information about these and other such relationships and related person transactions, see Notes 10, 119 and 1210 to our condensed consolidated financial statementsCondensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our 2022 Annual Report, our definitive Proxy Statement for our 20172023 Annual Meeting of Shareholders and our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC. In addition, see the section captioned “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of our 2022 Annual Report for a description of risks that may arise as a result of these and other related person transactions and relationships. Our filings with the SEC and copies of certain of our agreements with these related persons, including our business and property management agreements with RMR LLC and our shareholders agreement with AIC and its six other shareholders, are available as exhibits to our filings with the SEC and accessible at the SEC’s website, www.sec.govWe may engage in additional transactions with related persons, including businesses to which RMR LLC or its affiliatessubsidiaries provide management services.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include purchase price allocations, useful lives of fixed assets and assessment of impairment of real estate and the related intangibles.

A discussion of our critical accounting estimates is included in our 2022 Annual Report. There have been no significant changes in our critical accounting estimates since the year ended December 31, 2022.


Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk(dollar amounts in thousands, except per share data)
We are exposed to risks associated with market changes in interest rates. We manage our exposure to this market risk by monitoring available financing alternatives. Our strategy to manage exposure to changes in interest rates has not materially changed since December 31, 2016.2022. Other than as described below, we do not currently foresee any significant changes in our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates or in how we manage this exposure in the near future.

Our $350,000 and $300,000 senior unsecured notes require semi-annual interest payments through maturity and our $310,000 senior unsecured notes requireor quarterly interest payments through maturity. Our mortgages generallymortgage notes require monthly payments of interest only or payments of principal and interest payments through maturity pursuant to amortization schedules.maturity. Because these debts require interest to be paid at a fixed rate, changes in market interest rates during the term of these debts will not affect our interest obligations. If these debts were refinanced at interest rates which are 100 basis pointsone percentage point higher or lower than shown above, our per annumannual interest cost would increase or decrease respectively, by approximately $10,098.
$23,893.
Changes in market interest rates also would affect the fair value of our fixed rate debt obligations; increases in market interest rates decrease the fair value of our fixed rate debt, while decreases in market interest rates increase the fair value of our fixed rate debt. Since the beginning of 2022, the U.S. Federal Reserve has been raising interest rates in an effort to combat inflation and may continue to do so. Based on the balances outstanding at September 30, 2017,2023, and discounted cash flow analyses through the respective maturity dates, and assuming no other changes in factors that may affect the fair value of our fixed rate debt obligations, a hypothetical immediate 100 basisone percentage point increase in interest rates would change the fair value of those obligations by approximately $59,302.$68,555.
Some of ourOur fixed rate secured debt arrangements may allow us to make repayments earlier than the stated maturity date. In some cases, we are not allowed to make early repayment prior to a cutoff date and we are generally allowed to make prepayments only at a premium equal to a make whole amount, as defined, which is generally designed to preserve a stated yield to the note holder. These prepayment rights may afford us opportunities to mitigate the risk of refinancing our debts at maturity at a higher ratesrate by refinancing prior to maturity.

Floating Rate Debt
AtAs of September 30, 2017,2023, our floating rate debt consisted of $565,000 of borrowings$200,000 outstanding under our $750,000 revolving credit facility, our $300,000 term loan and our $250,000 term loan.facility. Our revolving credit facility matures inon January 2019 and, subject to the payment of an extension fee and our meeting other conditions, we have the option to extend the stated maturity by one year to January 2020.31, 2024. No principal repayments are required under our revolving credit facility or our term loans prior to maturity, and we can borrow, repay and reborrow funds available under our revolving credit facility, subject to conditions, at any time without penalty. Our $300,000 term loan matures on March 31, 2020. Our $250,000 term loan matures on March 31, 2022. Amounts outstanding under our term loans may be repaid without penalty at any time, but after they are repaid amounts may not be redrawn.

Borrowings under our $750,000 revolving credit facility and term loans are in U.S. dollars and require interest to be paid at a rate of LIBORSOFR plus premiums that are subject to adjustment based upon changes to our credit ratings. Accordingly, we are vulnerable to changes in U.S. dollar based short term rates, specifically LIBOR.SOFR, and to changes in our credit ratings. In addition, upon any renewal or refinancing of our revolving credit facility, or term loans, we are vulnerable to increases in interest rate premiums due to market conditions or our perceived credit characteristics. Generally, a change in interest rates would not affect the value of our floating rate debt but would affect our operating results.

The following table presents the impact a 100 basisone percentage point increase in interest rates would have on our annual floating rate interest expense as of September 30, 2017:2023:

Our exposure to fluctuations in floating interest rates will increase or decrease in the future with increases or decreases in the outstanding amount under our revolving credit facility our term loans or our other floating rate debt, if any. Although we have no present plans to do so, we may in the future enter into hedge arrangements from time to time to mitigate our exposure to changes in interest rates.

FOR EXAMPLE:
OUR ABILITY TO MAKE FUTURE DISTRIBUTIONS TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS AND TO MAKE PAYMENTS OF PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST ON OUR INDEBTEDNESS DEPENDS UPON A NUMBER OF FACTORS, INCLUDING OUR FUTURE EARNINGS, THE CAPITAL COSTS WE INCUR TO LEASE OUR PROPERTIES, OUR WORKING CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS AND OUR RECEIPT OF DISTRIBUTIONS FROM SIR. WE MAY BE UNABLE TO PAY OUR DEBT OBLIGATIONS OR TO MAINTAIN OUR CURRENT RATE OF DISTRIBUTIONS ON OUR COMMON SHARES AND FUTURE DISTRIBUTIONS MAY BE REDUCED OR ELIMINATED,
OUR ABILITY TO GROW OUR BUSINESS AND INCREASE DISTRIBUTIONS TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS DEPENDS IN LARGE PART UPON OUR ABILITY TO BUY PROPERTIES AND LEASE THEM FOR RENTS, LESS THEIR PROPERTY OPERATING EXPENSES, THAT EXCEED OUR CAPITAL COSTS. WE MAY BE UNABLE TO IDENTIFY PROPERTIES THAT WE WANT TO ACQUIRE OR TO NEGOTIATE ACCEPTABLE PURCHASE PRICES, ACQUISITION FINANCING OR LEASE TERMS FOR NEW PROPERTIES,
SOME OF OUR TENANTS MAY NOT RENEW EXPIRING LEASES, AND WE MAY BE UNABLE TO OBTAIN NEW TENANTS TO MAINTAIN OR INCREASE THE HISTORICAL OCCUPANCY RATES OF, OR RENTS FROM, OUR PROPERTIES,
SOME GOVERNMENT TENANTS MAY EXERCISE THEIR RIGHTS TO VACATE THEIR SPACE BEFORE THE STATED EXPIRATIONS OF THEIR LEASES, AND WE MAY BE UNABLE TO OBTAIN NEW TENANTS TO MAINTAIN THE HISTORICAL OCCUPANCY RATES OF, OR RENTS FROM, OUR PROPERTIES,
RENTS THAT WE CAN CHARGE AT OUR PROPERTIES MAY DECLINE BECAUSE OF CHANGING MARKET CONDITIONS OR OTHERWISE,
CONTINGENCIES IN OUR ACQUISITION AND SALE AGREEMENTS MAY NOT BE SATISFIED AND OUR PENDING ACQUISITIONS AND SALES MAY NOT OCCUR, MAY BE DELAYED OR THE TERMS OF SUCH TRANSACTIONS MAY CHANGE,

CONTINUED AVAILABILITY OF BORROWINGS UNDER OUR REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY IS SUBJECT TO OUR SATISFYING CERTAIN FINANCIAL COVENANTS AND OTHER CREDIT FACILITY CONDITIONS THAT WE MAY BE UNABLE TO SATISFY,
ACTUAL COSTS UNDER OUR REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY OR OTHER FLOATING RATE CREDIT FACILITIES WILL BE HIGHER THAN LIBOR PLUS A PREMIUM BECAUSE OF FEES AND EXPENSES ASSOCIATED WITH SUCH FACILITIES,
THE INTEREST RATES PAYABLE UNDER OUR FLOATING RATE DEBT OBLIGATIONS DEPEND UPON OUR CREDIT RATINGS. BOTH MOODY'S AND S&P HAVE RECENTLY UPDATED OUR RATING OUTLOOK TO NEGATIVE WHICH MAY IMPLY THAT OUR CREDIT RATINGS MAY BE DOWNGRADED. IF OUR CREDIT RATINGS ARE DOWNGRADED, OUR BORROWING COSTS WILL INCREASE,
OUR ABILITY TO ACCESS DEBT CAPITAL AND THE COST OF OUR DEBT CAPITAL WILL DEPEND IN PART ON OUR CREDIT RATINGS. BOTH MOODY'S AND S&P HAVE RECENTLY UPDATED OUR RATING OUTLOOK TO NEGATIVE, WHICH MAY IMPLY THAT OUR CREDIT RATINGS MAY BE DOWNGRADED. IF OUR CREDIT RATINGS ARE DOWNGRADED, WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO ACCESS DEBT CAPITAL OR THE DEBT CAPITAL WE CAN ACCESS MAY BE EXPENSIVE,     
WE MAY BE UNABLE TO REPAY OUR DEBT OBLIGATIONS WHEN THEY BECOME DUE,
THE MAXIMUM BORROWING AVAILABILITY UNDER OUR REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY AND TERM LOANS MAY BE INCREASED TO UP TO $2.5 BILLION ON A COMBINED BASIS IN CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES; HOWEVER, INCREASING THE MAXIMUM BORROWING AVAILABILITY UNDER OUR REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY AND TERM LOANS IS SUBJECT TO OUR OBTAINING ADDITIONAL COMMITMENTS FROM LENDERS, WHICH MAY NOT OCCUR,

WE HAVE THE OPTION TO EXTEND THE MATURITY DATE OF OUR REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY UPON PAYMENT OF A FEE AND MEETING OTHER CONDITIONS; HOWEVER, THE APPLICABLE CONDITIONS MAY NOT BE MET,
THE BUSINESS AND PROPERTY MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS BETWEEN US AND RMR LLC HAVE CONTINUING 20 YEAR TERMS.  HOWEVER, THOSE AGREEMENTS PERMIT EARLY TERMINATION IN CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES.  ACCORDINGLY, WE CANNOT BE SURE THAT THESE AGREEMENTS WILL REMAIN IN EFFECT FOR CONTINUING 20 YEAR TERMS,
WE BELIEVE THAT OUR RELATIONSHIPS WITH OUR RELATED PARTIES, INCLUDING RMR LLC, RMR INC., SIR, AIC AND OTHERS AFFILIATED WITH THEM MAY BENEFIT US AND PROVIDE US WITH COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGES IN OPERATING AND GROWING OUR BUSINESS. HOWEVER, THE ADVANTAGES WE BELIEVE WE MAY REALIZE FROM THESE RELATIONSHIPS MAY NOT MATERIALIZE,
WE MAY FAIL TO EXECUTE SUCCESSFULLY ON OUR EXPANDED BUSINESS STRATEGY OR INCREASED SCALE RESULTING FROM THE FPO TRANSACTION AND THEREFORE MAY NOT REALIZE THE BENEFITS WE EXPECT FROM THE FPO TRANSACTION,
SIR MAY REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF ITS DISTRIBUTIONS TO ITS SHAREHOLDERS, INCLUDING US,
RMR INC. MAY REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF ITS DISTRIBUTION TO ITS SHAREHOLDERS, INCLUDING US,
WE MAY BE UNABLE TO SELL OUR SIR COMMON SHARES FOR AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO OUR CARRYING VALUE OF THOSE SHARES AND ANY SUCH SALE MAY BE AT A DISCOUNT TO MARKET PRICE BECAUSE OF THE LARGE SIZE OF OUR SIR HOLDINGS OR OTHERWISE; WE MAY REALIZE A LOSS ON OUR INVESTMENT IN OUR SIR SHARES, AND
WE EXPECT TO SPEND, AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2017, AN ADDITIONAL $3.3 MILLION TO COMPLETE THE REDEVELOPMENT AND EXPANSION OF A PROPERTY WE OWN PRIOR TO THE COMMENCEMENT OF THE LEASE FOR THAT PROPERTY. IN ADDITION, AS OF SEPTEMBER 30 2017, WE HAVE ESTIMATED UNSPENT LEASING RELATED OBLIGATIONS OF $26.6 MILLION, EXCLUDING THE ESTIMATED

DEVELOPMENT COSTS NOTED IN THE PRECEDING SENTENCE. IT IS DIFFICULT TO ACCURATELY ESTIMATE DEVELOPMENT AND TENANT SPACE PREPARATION COSTS. THIS DEVELOPMENT PROJECT AND OUR UNSPENT LEASING RELATED OBLIGATIONS MAY COST MORE OR LESS AND MAY TAKE LONGER TO COMPLETE THAN WE CURRENTLY EXPECT, AND WE MAY INCUR INCREASING AMOUNTS FOR THESE AND SIMILAR PURPOSES IN THE FUTURE.



CURRENTLY UNEXPECTED RESULTS COULD OCCUR DUE TO MANY DIFFERENT CIRCUMSTANCES, SOME OF WHICH ARE BEYOND OUR CONTROL, SUCH AS CHANGES IN OUR TENANTS’ NEEDS FOR LEASED SPACE, ACTS OF TERRORISM, NATURAL DISASTERS OR CHANGES IN CAPITAL MARKETS OR THE ECONOMY GENERALLY.
THE INFORMATION CONTAINED ELSEWHERE IN THIS QUARTERLY REPORT ON FORM 10-Q AND IN OUR ANNUAL REPORT OR IN OUR OTHER FILINGS WITH THE SEC, INCLUDING UNDER THE CAPTION “RISK FACTORS”, OR INCORPORATED HEREIN OR THEREIN, IDENTIFIES OTHER IMPORTANT FACTORS THAT COULD CAUSE DIFFERENCES FROM OUR FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS.  OUR FILINGS WITH THE SEC ARE AVAILABLE ON THE SEC’S WEBSITE AT WWW.SEC.GOV.
YOU SHOULD NOT PLACE UNDUE RELIANCE UPON OUR FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS.
EXCEPT AS REQUIRED BY LAW, WE DO NOT INTEND TO UPDATE OR CHANGE ANY FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS AS A RESULT OF NEW INFORMATION, FUTURE EVENTS OR OTHERWISE.
