EXPLANATORY NOTE


This report combines the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20182019 of VEREIT, Inc., a Maryland corporation, and VEREIT Operating Partnership, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, of which VEREIT, Inc. is the sole general partner. Unless otherwise indicated or unless the context requires otherwise, all references in this report to “we,” “us,” “our,” “VEREIT,” the “Company” or the “General Partner” mean VEREIT, Inc. together with its consolidated subsidiaries, including VEREIT Operating Partnership, L.P., and all references to the “Operating Partnership” or “OP” mean VEREIT Operating Partnership, L.P. together with its consolidated subsidiaries.
As the sole general partner of VEREIT Operating Partnership, L.P., VEREIT, Inc. has the full, exclusive and complete responsibility for the Operating Partnership’s day-to-day management and control.
We believe combining the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q of VEREIT, Inc. and VEREIT Operating Partnership, L.P. into this single report results in the following benefits:
enhancing investors’ understanding of the Company and the Operating Partnership by enabling investors to view the business as a whole in the same manner as management views and operates the business;
eliminating duplicative disclosure and providing a more streamlined and readable presentation since a substantial portion of the disclosure applies to both the Company and the Operating Partnership; and
creating time and cost efficiencies through the preparation of one combined report instead of two separate reports.
There are a few differences between the Company and the Operating Partnership, which are reflected in the disclosure in this report. We believe it is important to understand the differences between the Company and the Operating Partnership in the context of how we operate as an interrelated consolidated company. VEREIT, Inc. is a real estate investment trust whose only material asset is its ownership of partnership interests of the Operating Partnership. As a result, VEREIT, Inc. does not conduct business itself, other than acting as the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, issuing equity or debt from time to time and guaranteeing certain unsecured debt of the Operating Partnership and certain of its subsidiaries. The Operating Partnership holds substantially all of the assets of the Company and holds the ownership interests in the Company’s joint ventures. The Operating Partnership conducts the operations of the business and is structured as a partnership with no publicly traded equity. Except for net proceeds from public equity or debt issuances by VEREIT, Inc., which are generally contributed to the Operating Partnership in exchange for partnership units, the Operating Partnership generates the capital required by the Company’s business through the Operating Partnership’s operations, by the Operating Partnership’s direct or indirect incurrence of indebtedness or through the issuance of partnership units. To help investors understand the significant differences between VEREIT, Inc. and the Operating Partnership, there are separate sections in this report that separately discuss VEREIT, Inc. and the Operating Partnership, including the consolidated financial statements and certain notes to the consolidated financial statements as well as separate disclosures in Item 4. Controls and Procedures and Exhibit 31 and Exhibit 32 certifications. As general partner with control of the Operating Partnership, VEREIT, Inc. consolidates the Operating Partnership for financial reporting purposes. Therefore, the assets and liabilities of VEREIT, Inc. and VEREIT Operating Partnership, L.P. are the same on their respective consolidated financial statements. The separate discussions of VEREIT, Inc. and VEREIT Operating Partnership, L.P. in this report should be read in conjunction with each other to understand the results of the Company on a consolidated basis and how management operates the Company.

There have been no significant changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies during the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2018,2019, except any policies that are no longer applicable due to the Company’s sale of Cole Capital, as discussed in Note 4 —Discontinued Operations, andimpacted by the adoption of the RevenueLeasing ASUs, as defined in the “Revenue Recognition” and “Recent Accounting Pronouncements” sectionssection herein. Information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and U.S. GAAP.
Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries and a consolidated joint venture arrangements.venture. The portionsportion of the consolidated joint venture arrangements not owned by the Company areis presented as non-controlling interestsinterest in VEREIT’s and the OP’s consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations, statements of comprehensive income (loss) and statements of changes in equity. In addition, as described in Note 1 – Organization, and Note 12 – Equity, certain third parties have been issued OP Units and Series F Preferred Units. Holders of OP Units are considered to be non-controlling interest holders in the OP and their ownership interest in the limited partner’s share is presented as non-controlling interests in VEREIT’s consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations, statements of comprehensive income (loss) and statements of changes in equity. Further, a portion of the earnings and losses of the OP are allocated to non-controlling interest holders based on their respective ownership percentages. Upon conversion of OP Units to Common Stock or Series F Preferred Units to Series F Preferred Stock, any difference between the fair value of shares of Common Stock or Series F Preferred Stock, as applicable, issued and the carrying value of the OP Units or Series F Preferred Units, as applicable, converted is recorded as a component of equity. As of each of SeptemberJune 30, 20182019 and December 31, 2017,2018, there were approximately 20.8 million, net of the surrendered 2.9 million Limited Partner OP Units discussed in Note 12 – Equity, and 23.7 million Limited Partner OP Units outstanding.issued and outstanding, respectively, and 49,766 and 86,874 Limited Partner Series F Preferred Units issued and outstanding, respectively.


For legal entities being evaluated for consolidation, the Company must first determine whether the interests that it holds and fees it receives qualify as variable interests in the entity. A variable interest is an investment or other interest that will absorb portions of an entity’s expected losses or receive portions of the entity’s expected residual returns. The Company’s evaluation includes consideration of fees paid to the Company where the Company acts as a decision maker or service provider to the entity being evaluated. If the Company determines that it holds a variable interest in an entity, it evaluates whether that entity is a variable interest entity (“VIE”). VIEs are entities where investors lack sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support or where equity investors, as a group, lack one of the following characteristics: (a) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance, (b) the obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity, or (c) the right to receive the expected returns of the entity.
The Company then qualitatively assesses whether it is (or is not) the primary beneficiary of a VIE, which is generally defined as the party who has a controlling financial interest in the VIE. Consideration of various factors include, but are not limited to, the Company’s ability to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and its obligation to absorb losses from or right to receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Company consolidates any VIEs when the Company is determined to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE and the difference between consolidating the VIE and accounting for it using the equity method could be material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company continually evaluates the need to consolidate these VIEs based on standards set forth in U.S. GAAP.

In connection with the adoption of Accounting Standards Update ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (“ASU 2016-15”) and ASU 2016-18 Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash (“ASU 2016-18”), during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2017, as discussed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on February 22, 2018, certain reclassifications have been made to prior period balances to conform to current presentation in the consolidated statement of cash flows. Under ASU 2016-15, the Company reclassified $1.1 million of distributions received from equity method investments from cash flows provided by operating activities to cash flows provided by investing activities in the consolidated statement of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The Company also reclassified $0.1 million of proceeds from the settlement of property-related insurance claims from cash flows provided by operating activities to cash flows provided by investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. Under ASU 2016-18, transfers to or from restricted cash are now required to be shown as part of the total change in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash in the consolidated statements of cash flows. Accordingly, for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company included restricted cash with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period amounts shown on the statements of cash flows and removed the change in restricted cash from cash flows used in investing activities. This change resulted in an increase in cash flows provided by investing activities of $14.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017. Additionally, this change resulted in a decrease in cash flows used in financing activities of $2.6 million, related to restricted cash relinquished to the lenders of two mortgage loans, which were satisfied through foreclosure sale or execution of a deed-in lieu of foreclosure agreement during the nine months ended September 30, 2017.
Derivatives
The Company may use derivative financial instruments, including interest rate swaps, caps, options, floors and other interest rate derivative contracts, to hedge all or a portion of the interest rate risk associated with its borrowings. The principal objective of such arrangements is to minimize the risks and/or costs associated with the Company’s operating and financial structure as well as to hedge specific anticipated transactions. The Company does not intend to utilize derivatives for purposes other than interest rate risk management.
As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company had the following outstanding interest rate derivatives that were not designated as qualifying hedging relationships (dollar amounts in thousands):

Revenue Recognition
In May 2014, the U.S. Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”) (Topic 606), which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Revenue Recognition, Accounting Standards Codification  (“ASC”) (Topic 605) and requires an entity to recognize revenue in a way that depicts the transfer of promised 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 or services. Subsequent to the issuance of ASU 2014-09, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing (“ASU 2016-10”), ASU 2016-08, Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net) (“ASU 2016-08”), ASU 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients (“ASU 2016-12”) and ASU 2016-20 Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2016-20”), which provided various technical corrections and practical expedients to the requirements of ASU 2014-09. ASU 2014-09 together with ASU 2016-08, ASU 2016-10, ASU 2016-12 and ASU 2016-20 are referred to as the “Revenue ASUs”. The Company adopted the Revenue ASUs during the first quarter of 2018 using the modified retrospective approach, which allows a cumulative effect adjustment to beginning retained earnings equal to initially applying the Revenue ASUs to all contracts with customers not completed as of the date of adoption. Adoption of the Revenue ASUs did not result in a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings as all contracts not completed as of adoption within the scope of Topic 606 have the same revenue recognition timing and measurement under Topic 605. Revenues generated through leasing arrangements are excluded from the Revenue ASUs as discussed below.

Upon adoption of ASU 2016-02,Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 842, Leases (“ASU 2016-02”ASC 842”) on, effective January 1, 2019, operating expense reimbursement revenue will be within the scope of Topic 606 and may be considered a non-lease component, as defined in ASU 2016-02. Refer to “Recent Accounting Pronouncements” section herein for further discussion regarding ASU 2016-02. Operating expense reimbursement revenue was not impacted by the adoption of Topic 606 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018.
Revenue Recognition - Cole Capital

Cole Capital recorded dealer manager fees, excluding those related to INAV, as defined in “Investment in Cole REITs” section herein, and securities sales commissions as revenue upon satisfying its performance obligation, which occurred at the point in time in which the sale was complete. Dealer manager fees from the sale of INAV shares and distribution and stockholder servicing fees were a form of variable consideration associated with the performance obligation of selling shares. Although the performance obligation of selling shares was completed upon sale, the variable consideration was constrained due to the uncertainty associated with estimating the transaction price. As the fees were accrued daily based upon the fund’s net asset value, revenue was recognized daily as the uncertainty was resolved. The Company recorded revenue related to acquisition and financing coordination fees upon satisfaction of the related performance obligations, which occurred upon completion of a transaction. Advisory, asset and property management fees were recorded over time as services were performed. Performance fees were a form of variable consideration relating to INAV earned at a point in time in which for any year the total return on stockholders’ capital exceeded 6% per annum on a calendar year basis. Although the performance obligation associated with the performance fee would have been satisfied over time, revenue recognition was constrained due to the uncertainty associated with estimating the transaction price. The Company was also reimbursed for certain costs incurred in providing these services, which were recorded as revenue as the expenses were incurred subject to revenue constraint due to the limitations on the amount that was reimbursable based on the terms of the respective dealer manager and advisory agreements. Refer to Note 14 –Related Party Transactions and Arrangements for a disaggregation of Cole Capital revenues.
Revenue Recognition - Other
The Company entered into a services agreement (the “Services Agreement”) with the Cole Purchaser, as defined in Note 4 —Discontinued Operations, pursuant to which the Company will continue to provide certain services to the Cole Purchaser and the Cole REITs, including operational real estate support, for a specified period of time (“Transition Services Revenues”). Under the terms of the Services Agreement, the Company will be entitled to receive reimbursement for certain of the services provided. The Company recorded Transition Services Revenues as costs associated with providing such services were incurred, which coincided with the timing in which the performance obligations of the contract had been met. During the three months ended September 30, 2018, the Company incurred $4.1 million of costs as a result of providing such services and recognized revenues of $4.0 million. During the period from February 1, 2018 through September 30, 2018, the Company incurred $12.2 million of such costs and recognized revenues of $12.1 million, which are recorded in other income, net in the consolidated statement of operations. The Company may also receive Net Revenue Payments, as defined in Note 4 —Discontinued Operations, over the next six years if future revenues of Cole Capital exceed a specified dollar threshold, up to an aggregate of $80.0 million in Net Revenue Payments.
Goodwill
In connection with prior mergers, the Company recorded goodwill as a result of the merger consideration exceeding the net assets acquired. As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the carrying value of goodwill was $1.3 billion.

The Company, both as lessor, identified three separate lease components as follows: 1) land lease component, 2) single property lease component comprised of building, land improvements and lessee,tenant improvements, and its consolidated financial statements.3) furniture and fixtures. The nonlease components relate to service obligations under certain lease contracts for service of the building, land improvements or tenant improvements. The Company currently does not record such expenses anddetermined the related operating expense reimbursement revenue. Upon adoption of ASU 2016-02, operating expense reimbursement revenue willnonlease components are eligible to be withincombined under the scope of Topic 606 and may be considered a non-lease component, as definedpractical expedient in ASU 2016-02, subject to ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842), discussed below.
In January 2018, (“ASU 2018-11,” combined with ASC 842, “Leasing ASUs”) and the FASB issued ASU 2018-01, Leases (Topic 842): Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842. The amendments to Topic 842 help address transition guidance as it relates to land easements. The ASU provides an optional practical expedient to not evaluate under Topic 842 existing or expired land easements that were not previously accounted for as leases under the current leases guidance in Topic 840. An entity that elects this practical expedient should evaluate new or modified land easements under Topic 842 beginning at the date the entity adopts Topic 842. An entity that does not elect this practical expedient should evaluate all existing or expired land easements in connectionnonlease components will be included with the adoption ofsingle property lease component as the new lease requirements in Topic 842 to assess whether they meet the definition of a lease.
In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-10, Leases (Topic 842), which contained targeted improvements to amend inconsistencies and clarify guidance that were brought about by stakeholders. Additionally, in July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842), which provided the following practical expedients to entities: (1) a transition method that allows entities to apply the new standard at the adoption date and to recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings effective at the adoption date; and (2) the option for lessors to not separate lease and non-lease components provided that certain criteria are met.

Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
In June 2016, the FASBU.S. Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326) (“ASU 2016-13”). ASU 2016-13 is intended to improve financial reporting by requiring more timely recognition of credit losses on loans and other financial instruments that are not accounted for at fair value through net income including loans held for investment, held-to-maturity debt securities, trade and other receivables, net investment in leases and other such commitments. ASU 2016-13 requires that financial assets measured at amortized cost be presented at the net amount expected to be collected, through an allowance for credit losses that is deducted from the amortized cost basis. The amendments in ASU 2016-13 require the Company to measure all expected credit losses based upon historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the financial assets and eliminates the “incurred loss” methodology under current U.S. GAAP. The effective date for ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years and(including the interim periods within,therein) beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for fiscal years, and interim periods within, beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this amendmentthese amendments will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In February 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-05, Other Income – Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets (Subtopic 610-20): Clarifying the Scope of Asset Derecognition Guidance and Accounting for Partial Sales of Nonfinancial Assets (“ASU 2017-05”), which clarifies the following: 1) nonfinancial assets within the scope of Subtopic 610-20 may include nonfinancial assets transferred within a legal entity to a counterparty; 2) an entity should allocate consideration to each distinct asset by applying the guidance in Topic 606 on allocating the transaction price to performance obligations; and 3) requires entities to derecognize a distinct nonfinancial asset or distinct in substance nonfinancial asset in a partial sale transaction when it (a) does not have (or ceases to have) a controlling financial interest in the legal entity that holds the asset in accordance with Subtopic 810 and (b) transfers control of the asset in accordance with Topic 606. The adoption of this standard will result in higher gains on the sale of partial real estate interests, including contributions of nonfinancial assets to a joint venture or other noncontrolling investee, due to recognizing the full gain when the derecognition criteria are met and recording the retained noncontrolling interest at its

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SeptemberJune 30, 20182019 (Unaudited) (Continued)


As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company owned three and eight commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”), respectively, with an estimated aggregate fair value of $26.3 million and $41.0 million, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, two CMBS were repaid and three CMBS were sold for an aggregate gross sales price of $9.9 million for a realized loss of $2.4 million, which is included in other income, net in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The Company generally receives monthly payments of principal and interest on the CMBS. As of September 30, 2018, the Company earned interest on the CMBS at rates ranging between 5.9% and 7.8%.
In estimating other-than-temporary impairment losses, management considers a variety of factors, including: (i) whether the Company has the intent to sell the security, (ii) whether the Company expects to hold the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for anticipated recovery in fair value, and (iii) whether the Company expects to recover the entire amortized cost basis of the security. As of September 30, 2018, the fair value of two CMBS were below their amortized cost. The Company does not expect to hold these securities until maturity or to fully recover the entire amortized cost basis of these securities. Therefore, the Company recorded an other-than-temporary impairment of approximately $0.1 million, which is included in other income, net in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
The scheduled maturity of the Company’s CMBS as of September 30, 2018 are as follows (in thousands):

Note 7 – Mortgage Notes Receivable, Net
As of September 30, 2018, the Company owned eight mortgage notes receivable with a weighted-average interest rate of 6.2% and weighted-average years to maturity of 11.9 years. The following table details the mortgage notes receivable as of September 30, 2018 (dollar amounts in thousands):
Outstanding Balance Net Carrying Value Interest Rate Range Maturity Date Range
$21,878
 $18,757
 5.9%6.8% December 2026January 2033
The Company’s mortgage notes receivable are comprised primarily of fully-amortizing or nearly fully-amortizing first mortgage loans. The Company has one mortgage note receivable where the Company does not receive monthly payments of principal and interest but rather the interest is capitalized into the outstanding balance that is due at maturity. The mortgage notes receivable are primarily on commercial real estate, each leased to a single tenant. Therefore, the Company’s monitoring of the credit quality of its mortgage notes receivable is focused primarily on an analysis of the tenant, including review of tenant quality and ratings, trends in the tenant’s industry and general economic conditions and an analysis of measures of collateral coverage, such as an estimate of the loan-to-value ratio (principal amount outstanding divided by the estimated value of the property) and its remaining term until maturity.
During the three months ended September 30, 2018, the Company decided to sell its mortgage notes receivable and classified them as held for sale. Mortgage notes receivable held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or estimated fair value. The carrying value of seven of the eight mortgage notes receivable, totaling $17.3 million, exceeded the fair value, totaling $16.4 million, resulting in a valuation allowance of $0.9 million, which is included in other income, net in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. See Note 8 – Fair Value Measures for a discussion of the Company’s fair value measurements regarding mortgage notes receivable. Prior to September 30, 2018, the Company classified its mortgage notes receivable as long-term investments, as the Company intended to hold the mortgage notes receivable for the foreseeable future or until maturity, and were carried on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets at amortized cost, net of any allowance for mortgage notes receivable losses.

Note 85 – Fair Value Measures
The Company determines fair value based on quoted prices when available or through the use of alternative approaches, such as discounting the expected cash flows using market interest rates commensurate with the credit quality and duration of the investment. U.S. GAAP guidance defines three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset and liability or can be corroborated with observable market data for substantially the entire contractual term of the asset or liability.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs reflect the entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in the pricing of the asset or liability and are consequently not based on market activity, but rather through particular valuation techniques.
The determination of where an asset or liability falls in the hierarchy requires significant judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company evaluates its hierarchy disclosures each quarter and depending on various factors, it is possible that an asset or liability may be classified differently from quarter to quarter. Changes in the type of inputs may result in a reclassification for certain assets. As discussed below, based on new pricing information obtained during the three months ended September 30, 2018, two Level 3 CMBS were transferred to Level 1. The Company does not expect that changes in classifications between levels will be frequent.
Items Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

CMBS – As discussed in Note 16 – Subsequent Events, the Company sold two of the remaining three CMBS subsequent to September 30, 2018. The Company determined fair value for these two CMBS using Level 1 inputs, specifically trade confirmations, which set forth, among other things, the sales price, the interest rate and the market value of the underlying loan asset.
The Company’s CMBS are generally carried at fair value and are valued using Level 3 inputs, except as noted above for the two CMBS sold subsequent to September 30, 2018. Level 3 inputs were used for all CMBS owned as of December 31, 2017 and for one CMBS as of September 30, 2018. The Company uses estimated non-binding quoted market prices from the trading desks of financial institutions that are dealers in such securities for similar CMBS tranches that actively participate in the CMBS market. Broker quotes are only indicative of fair value and may not necessarily represent what the Company would receive in an actual trade for the applicable instrument. Management determines that the prices are representative of fair value through its knowledge and experience in the market. The significant unobservable input used in valuing the CMBS is the discount rate or market yield used to discount the estimated future cash flows expected to be received from the underlying investment, which include both future principal and interest payments. Significant increases or decreases in the discount rate or market yield would result in a decrease or increase in the fair value measurement. The following risks are included in the consideration and selection of discount rates or market yields: risk of default, rating of the investment and comparable company investments.
Derivative Assets and Liabilities The Company’s derivative financial instruments relate to interest rate swaps, discussed in Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.swaps. The valuation of derivative instruments is determined using 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, as well as observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities. In addition, credit valuation adjustments are incorporated into the fair values to account for the Company’s potential nonperformance risk and the performance risk of the counterparties.
Although the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with those derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by the Company and its counterparties. However, as of SeptemberJune 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company has assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions and has determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of the Company’s derivatives. As a result, the Company has determined that its derivative valuations in their entirety are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Certain financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis and are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances, such as when there is evidence of impairment.
Real Estate Investments
As discussed in Note 3 –Real Estate Investments The Company performs quarterly impairment review procedures, primarily through continuous monitoring of events and Related Intangibles,changes in circumstances that could indicate the carrying value of its real estate assets may not be recoverable.
As part of the Company’s quarterly impairment review procedures, net real estate assets representing 42 properties were deemed to be impaired resulting in impairment charges of $20.3 million during the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019. The impairment charges relate to certain office, retail and restaurant properties that, during 2019, management identified for potential sale or determined, based on discussions with the current tenants, would not be re-leased. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, net real estate assets representing 53related to 31 properties were deemed to be impaired, and their carrying values totaling $83.1 million were reduced to their estimated fair value of $47.0 million, resulting in impairment charges of $36.1$17.7 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, net real estate assets related to 53 properties with carrying values totaling $87.9 million were deemed to be impaired and their carrying values were reduced to their estimated fair values of $57.0 million resulting in impairment charges of $30.9 million.
The Company estimates fair values using Level 3 inputs and usinguses a combined income and market approach, specifically using discounted cash flow analysis and recent comparable sales transactions. The evaluation of real estate assets for potential impairment requires the Company’s management to exercise significant judgment and to make certain key assumptions, including, but not limited to, the following: (1) capitalization rate; (2) discount rates; (3) number of years property will be held; (4) property operating expenses; and (5) re-leasing assumptions including number of months to re-lease, market rental incomerevenue and required tenant improvements. There are inherent uncertainties in making these estimates such as market conditions and performance and sustainability of the Company’s tenants. For the Company’s impairment tests for the real estate assets during the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2018,2019, the Company used a range of discount rates from 7.4%8.0% to 8.5%8.3% with a weighted-average rate of 7.9%8.1% and capitalization rates from 6.9%7.5% to 8.5%7.8% with a weighted-average rate of 7.9%7.6%.
The following table presents the impairment charges by asset class recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 (dollar amounts in thousands):

Note 7 –Derivatives and Hedging Activities
The Company may use derivative financial instruments, including interest rate swaps, caps, options, floors and other interest rate derivative contracts, to hedge all or a portion of the interest rate risk associated with its borrowings. The Company does not intend to utilize derivatives for purposes other than interest rate risk management. The use of derivative financial instruments carries certain risks, including the risk that the counterparties to these contractual arrangements are not able to perform under the agreements. To mitigate this risk, the Company only enters into derivative financial instruments with counterparties with high credit ratings and with major financial institutions with which the Company may also have other financial relationships. The Company does not anticipate that any of the counterparties will fail to meet their obligations.

The Company records all derivatives on the consolidated balance sheets at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative, whether the Company has elected to designate a derivative in a hedging relationship and apply hedge accounting and whether the hedging relationship has satisfied the criteria necessary to apply hedge accounting. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset, liability, or firm commitment attributable to a particular risk, such as interest rate risk, are considered fair value hedges. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges.
The accounting for subsequent changes in the fair value of these derivatives depends on whether each has been designated and qualifies for hedge accounting treatment. If the Company elects not to apply hedge accounting treatment, any changes in the fair value of these derivative instruments is recognized immediately in other income, net in the consolidated statements of operations and consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). If the derivative is designated and qualifies for hedge accounting treatment, the change in fair value of the derivative is recorded in other comprehensive income (loss). Unrealized gains and losses in other comprehensive income (loss) are reclassified to interest expense when the related hedged items impact earnings.
Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk
On January 24, 2019, the Company entered into interest rate swap agreements with an aggregate $900.0 million notional amount, effective on February 6, 2019 and maturing on January 31, 2023, which were designated as cash flow hedges.  Based on the General Partner’s then credit rating and interest rate of LIBOR + 1.35%, the swap agreements effectively fixed the Credit Facility Term Loan interest rate at approximately 3.84%. As of June 30, 2019, these interest rate swaps were in a liability position with a fair value of $27.6 million, which is included in deferred rent and other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2018, the Company had no interest rate derivatives that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk. 
The Company reclassified previously unrealized losses of $0.1 million and $0.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, and losses of $0.1 million and $0.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively, from accumulated other comprehensive income into interest expense as a result of the hedged transactions impacting earnings.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company recorded unrealized losses of $16.3 million and $27.6 million, respectively, for changes in the fair value of the cash flow hedges in accumulated other comprehensive income. There were no similar amounts during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018.
During the next twelve months, the Company estimates that an additional $6.1 million will be reclassified from other comprehensive income as an increase to interest expense.
Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments
As of June 30, 2019, the Company had no interest rate swaps that were not designated as qualifying hedging relationships. As of December 31, 2018, the Company had one interest rate swap that was not designated as a qualifying hedging relationship, with a notional amount of $50.7 million and was in an asset position with an estimated fair value of $0.5 million, which is included in rent and tenant receivables and other assets, net in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.
A loss of less than $0.1 million for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, and a gain of $0.1 million and $0.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively, related to the change in the fair value of derivatives not designated as hedging instruments were recorded in other income, net in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

The Company is involved in various routine legal proceedings and claims incidental to the ordinary course of its business. There are no material legal proceedings pending against the Company, except as follows:
Government Investigations and Litigation Relating to the Audit Committee Investigation
As previously reported, on October 29, 2014, the Company filed a Current Report on Form 8-K (the “October 29 8-K”) reporting the Audit Committee’s conclusion, based on the preliminary findings of its investigation, that certain previously issued consolidated financial statements of the Company, including those included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014, and related financial information should no longer be relied upon. The Company also reported that the Audit Committee had based its conclusion on the preliminary findings of its investigation into concerns regarding accounting practices and other matters that were first reported to the Audit Committee in early September 2014 and that the Audit Committee believed that an error in the calculation of adjusted funds from operations for the first quarter of 2014 had been identified but intentionally not corrected when the Company reported its financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014. Prior to the filing of the October 29 8-K, the Audit Committee previewed for the SEC the information contained in the filing. Subsequent to that filing, the SEC provided notice that it had commenced a formal investigation and issued subpoenas calling for the production of various documents. In addition, the United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York contacted counsel for the Audit Committee and counsel for the Company with respect to this matter, and the Secretary of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts issued a subpoena calling for the production of various documents. The Company has been cooperating with these regulators in their investigations.

There can be no assurance as to whether or how the Vanguard and other opt outcompleted settlements may affect any potential future resolution of any other pending lawsuit or claims, the timing of any such resolution, or the amount at which any other matter may be resolved. The Company has not reserved amounts for the SEC investigation, the on-going class action and the remaining opt out actionactions discussed above because it believes that any probable loss or reasonably possible range of loss is not reasonably estimable at this time. With respect to the class action specifically, which represents substantially all of the remaining shares with alleged claims, although the Company believes a loss is probable, it is currently unable to reasonably estimate a possible range of loss because the litigation involves significant uncertainties, including, but not limited to, the complexity of the facts, the legal theories and the nature of the claims, the information to be produced in discovery, which has not yet concluded,resolution of significant pre-trial motions, the applicable methodology for determining any damages for each of the different types of claims, the extent to which members of the class would or would not file a claim, and the uncertainty inherent in a class action where the trading history and other relevant characteristics of the claimants are not currently known. The ultimate resolution of all of these matters, the timing and substance of which is unknown, may materially impact the Company’s business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations.
Cole Litigation Matter
In December 2013, Realistic Partners filed a putative class action lawsuit against the Company and the then-members of its board of directors in the Supreme Court for the State of New York, captioned Realistic Partners v. American Realty Capital Partners, et al., No. 654468/2013. The plaintiff alleged, among other things, that the board of the Company breached its fiduciary duties in connection with the transactions contemplated under the Cole Merger Agreement (in connection with the merger between a wholly owned subsidiary of Cole Credit Property Trust III, Inc. and Cole Holdings Corporation) and that Cole Credit Property Trust III, Inc. aided and abetted those breaches. In January 2014, the parties entered into a memorandum of understanding regarding settlement of all claims asserted on behalf of the alleged class of the Company’s stockholders. The proposed settlement terms required the Company to make certain additional disclosures related to the Cole Merger, which were included in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the SEC on January 17, 2014. The memorandum of understanding also contemplated that the parties would enter into a stipulation of settlement, which would be subject to customary conditions, including confirmatory discovery and court approval following notice to the Company’s stockholders, and provided that the defendants would not object to a payment of up to $625,000 for attorneys’ fees. If the parties enter into a stipulation of settlement, which has not occurred, a hearing will be scheduled at which the court will consider the fairness, reasonableness and adequacy of the settlement. There can be no assurance that the parties will enter into a stipulation of settlement, that the court will approve any proposed settlement, or that any eventual settlement will be under the same terms as those contemplated by the memorandum of understanding.

Note 15 Net Income (Loss) Per Share/Unit
The General Partner’s unvested restricted sharesRestricted Shares contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends and are considered to be participating securities in accordance with U.S. GAAP and, therefore, are included in the computation of earnings per share under the two-class computation method. Under the two-class computation method, net losses are not allocated to participating securities unless the holder of the security has a contractual obligation to share in the losses. The unvested restricted sharesRestricted Shares are not allocated losses as the awards do not have a contractual obligation to share in losses of the General Partner. The two-class computation method is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for each class of shares of Common Stock and participating securities according to dividends declared (or accumulated) and participation rights in undistributed earnings.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We make statements in this section that are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Certain risks may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the following discussion. For a complete discussion of such risk factors, see the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.2018. Capitalized terms used herein, but not otherwise defined, shall have the meaning ascribed to those terms in the “Part I – Financial Information,” including the notes to the consolidated financial statements contained therein.
Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes “forward-looking statements” (within the meaning of the federal securities laws, Section 27A of the Securities Act, of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) that reflect our expectations and projections about our future results, performance, prospects and opportunities. We have attempted to identify these forward-looking statements by the use of words such as “may,” “will,” “seek,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “targets,” “intends,” “should,” “estimates,” “could,” “continue,” “assume,” “projects,” “plans” or similar expressions. These forward-looking statements are based on information currently available to us and are subject to a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These factors include, among other things, those discussed below. We intend for all such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act, as applicable by law. We do not undertake publicly to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of changes in underlying assumptions or new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required to satisfy our obligations under federal securities law.
The following are some, but not all, of the assumptions, risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those presented in our forward-looking statements:
We may be unable to renew leases, lease vacant space or re-lease space as leases expire on favorable terms or at all.
We are subject to risks associated with tenant, geographic and industry concentrations with respect to our properties.
Our properties, goodwill and intangible assets and other assets may be subject to impairment charges.
We could be subject to unexpected costs or unexpected liabilities that may arise from potential dispositions, including related to limited partnership, tenant-in-common and Delaware statutory trust real estate programs (“1031 real estate programs”) and VEREIT’s management with respect to such programs.
We are subject to competition in the acquisition and disposition of properties and in the leasing of our properties and we may be unable to acquire, dispose of, or lease properties on advantageous terms.
We could be subject to risks associated with bankruptcies or insolvencies of tenants, from tenant defaults generally or from the unpredictability of the business plans and financial condition of our tenants.
We are subject to risks associated with pending government investigations relating to the findings of the Audit Committee Investigation and related litigation, including the expense of such investigations and litigation and any additional potential payments upon resolution.
We have substantial indebtedness, which may affect our ability to pay dividends, and expose us to interest rate fluctuation risk and the risk of default under our debt obligations.
We may be subject to increases in our borrowing costs as a result of changes in interest rates and other factors, including the potential phasing out of LIBOR after 2021.
Our overall borrowing and operating flexibility may be adversely affected by the terms and restrictions within the agreements governing our indebtedness, including the indenture governing the Senior Notes, and the 2025 Senior Notes, and the Credit Agreement governing ourthe terms of the Credit Facility.
Our access to capital and terms of future financings may be affected by adverse changes to our credit rating.
We may be affected by the incurrence of additional secured or unsecured debt.
We may not be able to achieve and maintain profitability.
We may not generate cash flows sufficient to pay our dividends to stockholders or meet our debt service obligations.
We may be affected by risks resulting from losses in excess of insured limits.
We may fail to remain qualified as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”)REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
Compliance with the REIT annual distribution requirements may limit our operating flexibility.
We may be unable to retain or hire key personnel.

Table of Contents

All forward-looking statements should be read in light of the risks identified in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors within our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.2018.
We use certain defined terms throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that have the following meanings:
When we refer to “annualized rental income,” we mean the rental revenue under our leases on operating properties owned at the respective reporting date on a straight-line basis, which includes the effect of rent escalations and any tenant concessions, such as free rent, and excludes any bad debt allowances and any contingent rent, such as percentage rent. Management uses annualized rental income as a basis for tenant, industry and geographic concentrations and other metrics within the portfolio. Annualized rental income is not indicative of future performance.
When we refer to a “creditworthy tenant,” we mean a tenant that has entered into a lease that we determine is creditworthy and may include tenants with an investment grade or below investment grade credit rating, as determined by major credit rating agencies, or unrated tenants. To the extent we determine that a tenant is a “creditworthy tenant” even though it does not have an investment grade credit rating, we do so based on our management’s determination that a tenant should have the financial wherewithal to honor its obligations under its lease with us. As explained further below, this determination is based on our management’s substantial experience performing credit analysis and is made after evaluating all of a tenant’s due diligence materials that are made available to us, including financial statements and operating data.
When we refer to a “direct financing lease,” we mean a lease that requires specific treatment due to the significance of the lease payments from the inception of the lease compared to the fair value of the property, term of the lease, a transfer of ownership, or a bargain purchase option. These leases are recorded as a net asset on the balance sheet. The amount recorded is calculated as the fair value of the remaining lease payments on the leases and the estimated fair value of any expected residual property value at the end of the lease term.
When we refer to properties that are net leased on a “long term basis,” we mean properties with remaining primary lease terms of generally seven to 10 years or longer on average, depending on property type.
Under a “net lease,” the tenant occupying the leased property (usually as a single tenant) does so in much the same manner as if the tenant were the owner of the property. There are various forms of net leases, most typically classified as triple net or double net. Triple net leases typically require that the tenant pay all expenses associated with the property (e.g., real estate taxes, insurance, maintenance and repairs). Double net leases typically require that the tenant pay all operating expenses associated with the property (e.g., real estate taxes, insurance and maintenance), but excludes some or all major repairs (e.g., roof, structure and parking lot). Accordingly, the owner receives the rent “net” of these expenses, rendering the cash flow associated with the lease predictable for the term of the lease. Under a net lease, the tenant generally agrees to lease the property for a significant term and agrees that it will either have no ability or only limited ability to terminate the lease or abate rent prior to the expiration of the term of the lease as a result of real estate driven events such as casualty, condemnation or failure by the landlord to fulfill its obligations under the lease.
When we refer to “operating properties” we mean properties owned and consolidated by the Company, omitting properties for which (i) the related mortgage loan is in default, and (ii) management decides to transfer the properties to the lender in connection with settling the mortgage note obligation (the “Excluded Properties”). During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, one vacant industrial property was considered an Excluded Property. The Company entered into a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure agreement and conveyed its interest in this property to the lender in April 2018. As of and during the three months ended September 30, 2018, there were no Excluded Properties.obligation. During the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017, two vacant2019, the Company determined that the real estate portfolio and economic metrics of operating properties should include the Company's pro rata share of square feet and annualized rental income from the Company's unconsolidated joint ventures, based upon the Company's legal ownership percentage, which may, at times, not equal the Company's economic interest because of various provisions in certain joint venture agreements regarding distributions of cash flow based on capital account balances, allocations of profits and losses and payments of preferred returns. The Company did not update data presented for prior periods as the impact on prior period metrics was immaterial.
As of June 30, 2019, our portfolio was comprised of 3,951 retail, restaurant, office and industrial real estate properties and one vacant industrial property were considered Excluded Properties. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, two vacant office properties and five industrial properties, twowith an aggregate 89.8 million square feet, of which were98.9% was leased, with a weighted-average remaining lease term of 8.5 years. As of June 30, 2019, one office property (the “Excluded Property”), comprised of 145,186 square feet, of which 6,926 was vacant, werethat secured a mortgage note payable with debt outstanding of $19.5 million, was not considered an operating property. Omitting the Excluded Properties.Property and the square feet of one redevelopment property and including the pro rata share of square feet and annualized rental income from the Company’s unconsolidated joint ventures, we owned 3,950 retail, restaurant, office and industrial real estate properties with an aggregate of 90.6 million square feet, of which 99.0% was leased, with a weighted-average remaining lease term of 8.6 years as of June 30, 2019.

Non-GAAP Measures
Our results are presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We also disclose certain non-GAAP measures, as discussed further below. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in our internal analysis of results and believes these measures are useful to investors for the reasons explained below. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as substitutes for any measures derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
Funds from Operations and Adjusted Funds from Operations
Due to certain unique operating characteristics of real estate companies, as discussed below, the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, Inc. (“Nareit”), an industry trade group, has promulgated a supplemental performance measure known as funds from operations (“FFO”), which we believe to be an appropriate supplemental performance measure to reflect the operating performance of a REIT. FFO is not equivalent to our net income or loss as determined under U.S. GAAP.
Nareit defines FFO as net income or loss computed in accordance with U.S. GAAP excludingadjusted for gains or losses from disposition of property, depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, and impairment write-downs on depreciable real estate, including theand our pro rata share of FFO adjustments forrelated to unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. We calculatedcalculate FFO in accordance with Nareit’s definition described above.
In addition to FFO, we use adjusted funds from operations (“AFFO”) as a non-GAAP supplemental financial performance measure to evaluate the operating performance of the Company. AFFO, as defined by the Company, excludes from FFO non-routine items such as acquisition-related expenses, litigation and other non-routine costs, net, of insurance recoveries, held for sale loss on disposition of discontinued operations, net revenue or expense earned or incurred that is related to the services agreement we entered into with Cole Capital on February 1, 2018,Services Agreement, gains or losses on sale of investment securities or mortgage notes receivable and legal settlements and insurance recoveries not in the ordinary course of business.restructuring expenses. We also exclude certain non-cash items such as impairments of goodwill and intangible assets, straight-line rent, net of bad debt expense related to straight-line rent, net direct financing lease adjustments, gains or losses on derivatives, reserves for loan loss, gains or losses on the extinguishment or forgiveness of debt, non-current portion of the tax benefit or expense, equity-based compensation and amortization of intangible assets, deferred financing costs, premiums and discounts on debt and investments, above-market lease assets and below-market lease liabilities. We omit the impact of the Excluded Properties and related non-recourse mortgage notes from FFO to calculate AFFO. Management believes that excluding these costs from FFO provides investors with supplemental performance information that is consistent with the performance models and analysis used by management, and provides investors a view of the performance of our portfolio over time. AFFO allows for a comparison of the performance of our operations with other publicly-traded REITs, as AFFO, or an equivalent measure, is routinely reported by publicly-traded REITs, and we believe often used by analysts and investors for comparison purposes.
For all of these reasons, we believe FFO and AFFO, in addition to net income (loss), as defined by U.S. GAAP, are helpful supplemental performance measures and useful in understanding the various ways in which our management evaluates the performance of the Company over time. However, not all REITs calculate FFO and AFFO the same way, so comparisons with other REITs may not be meaningful. FFO and AFFO should not be considered as alternatives to net income (loss) and are not intended to be used as a liquidity measure indicative of cash flow available to fund our cash needs. Neither the SEC, Nareit, nor any other regulatory body has evaluated the acceptability of the exclusions used to adjust FFO in order to calculate AFFO and its use as a non-GAAP financial performance measure.

The Revolving Credit Facility generally bears interest at an annual rate of LIBOR plus 0.775% to 1.55% or Base Rate plus 0.00% to 0.55% (based upon our then current credit rating). “Base Rate” is defined as the highest of the prime rate, the federal funds rate plus 0.50% or a floating rate based on one month LIBOR plus 1.0%, determined on a daily basis. The Delayed-DrawCredit Facility Term Loan generally bears interest at an annual rate of LIBOR plus 0.85% to 1.75%, or Base Rate plus 0.00% to 0.75% (based upon our then current credit rating). In addition, the Credit Agreement provides the flexibility for interest rate auctions, pursuant to which, at the Company’s election, the Company may request that lenders make competitive bids to provide revolving loans, which competitive bids may be at pricing levels that differ from the foregoing interest rates.
In the event of default, at the election of a majority of the lenders (or automatically upon a bankruptcy event of default with respect to the OP or the General Partner), the commitments of the lenders under the Credit Facility will mature, and payment of any unpaid amounts in respect of the Credit Facility will be accelerated.

Amounts borrowed under the Delayed-Draw Term Loan mature on May 23, 2023. At any time, upon timely notice by the OP and subject to any breakage fees, the OP may prepay borrowings under the Credit Facility (subject to certain limitations applicable to the prepayment of any loans obtained through an interest rate auction, as described above). The OP incurs a facility fee equal to 0.10% to 0.30% per annum (based upon the General Partner’s then current credit rating) multiplied by the commitments (whether or not utilized) in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility. In addition, the OP incurs a ticking fee equal to 0.25% multiplied by unused commitments in respect of the Delayed-Draw Term Loan. The OP also incurs customary administrative agent, letter of credit issuance, letter of credit fronting, extension and other fees.

Election as a REIT
The General Partner elected to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, commencing with the taxable year ended December 31, 2011. As a REIT, except as discussed below, the General Partner generally is not subject to federal income tax on taxable income that it distributes to its stockholders so long as it distributes at least 90% of its annual taxable income (computed without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gains). REITs are subject to a number of other organizational and operational requirements. Even if the

General Partner maintains its qualification for taxation as a REIT, it may be subject to certain state and local taxes on its income and property, federal income taxes on certain income and excise taxes on its undistributed income. We believe we are organized and operating in such a manner as to qualify to be taxed as a REIT for the taxable year ended December 31, 2018.2019.
The Operating Partnership is classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a partnership, the Operating Partnership is not a taxable entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Instead, each partner in the Operating Partnership is required to take into account its allocable share of the Operating Partnership’s income, gains, losses, deductions and credits for each taxable year. However, the Operating Partnership may be subject to certain state and local taxes on its income and property. Under the LPA, the Operating Partnership is required to conduct business in such a manner as to permit the General Partner at all times to qualify as a REIT.
As discussed in Note 413 —Discontinued Operations, on February 1, 2018, the Company completed the sale of its investment management segment, Cole Capital. The Company conducted substantially all of the Cole Capital business activities through a TRS.taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”). A TRS is a subsidiary of a REIT that is subject to corporate federal, state and local income taxes, as applicable. The Company’s use of a TRS enables it to engage in certain business activities while complying with the REIT qualification requirements and to retain any income generated by these businesses for reinvestment without the requirement to distribute those earnings. The Company conducts all of its business in the United States and Puerto Rico and Canada and, as a result, it files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, the Canadian federal jurisdiction and various state and local jurisdictions. Certain of the Company’s inter-company transactions that have been eliminated in consolidation for financial accounting purposes are also subject to taxation.
Inflation
We may be adversely impacted by inflation on any leases that do not contain indexed escalation provisions. However, net leases that require the tenant to pay its allocable share of operating expenses, including common area maintenance costs, real estate taxes and insurance, may reduce our exposure to increases in costs and operating expenses resulting from inflation.
Related Party Transactions and Agreements
Through the closing of the Cole Capital sale, we were contractually responsible for managing the Cole REITs’ affairs on a day-to-day basis, identifying and making acquisitions and investments on the Cole REITs’ behalf, and recommending to each of the Cole REIT’s respective board of directors an approach for providing investors with liquidity. In addition, we distributed the shares of common stock for certain of the Cole REITs and advised them regarding offerings, managed relationships with participating broker-dealers and financial advisors, and provided assistance in connection with compliance matters relating to the offerings. We received compensation and reimbursement for services relating to the Cole REITs’ offerings and the investment, management and disposition of their respective assets, as applicable. See Note 14 –Related Party Transactions and Arrangements to our consolidated financial statements in this report for a further explanation of the various related party transactions, agreements and fees.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no material off-balance sheet arrangements that have had or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Accounting Estimates
Our accounting policies have been established to conform with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to use judgment in the application of accounting policies, including making estimates and assumptions. These judgments affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Management believes that we have made these estimates and assumptions in an appropriate manner and in a way that accurately reflects our financial condition. We continually test and evaluate these estimates and assumptions using our historical knowledge of the business, as well as other factors, to ensure that they are reasonable for reporting purposes. However, actual results may differ from these estimates and assumptions. If our judgment or interpretation of the facts and circumstances relating to the various transactions had been different, it is possible that different accounting policies would have been applied, thus resulting in a different presentation of the financial statements. Additionally, other companies may utilize different estimates that may impact comparability of our results of operations to those of companies in similar businesses. We believe the following critical accounting policies govern the significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements, which should be read in conjunction with the more complete discussion of our accounting policies and procedures included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017:2018:

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Market Risk
The market risk associated with financial instruments and derivative financial instruments is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices or interest rates. Our market risk arises primarily from interest rate risk relating to variable-rate borrowings. To meet our short and long-term liquidity requirements, we borrow funds at a combination of fixed and variable rates. Our interest rate risk management objectives are to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to manage our overall borrowing costs. To achieve these objectives, from time to time, we may enter into interest rate hedge contracts such as swaps, collars and treasury lock agreements in order to mitigate our interest rate risk with respect to various debt instruments. We would not hold or issue these derivative contracts for trading or speculative purposes.
Interest Rate Risk
As of SeptemberJune 30, 2018,2019, our debt included fixed-rate debt, including debt that has interest rates that are fixed with the use of derivative instruments, with a fair value and carrying value each of $5.2 billion.$5.9 billion and $5.7 billion, respectively. Changes in market interest rates on our fixed rate debt impact the fair value of the debt, but they have no impact on interest incurred or cash flow. For instance, if interest rates rise 100 basis points, and the fixed rate debt balance remains constant, we expect the fair value of our debt to decrease, the same way the price of a bond declines as interest rates rise. The sensitivity analysis related to our fixed-rate debt assumes an immediate 100 basis point move in interest rates from their SeptemberJune 30, 20182019 levels, with all other variables held constant. A 100 basis point increase in market interest rates would result in a decrease in the fair value of our fixed rate debt of $181.7$197.8 million. A 100 basis point decrease in market interest rates would result in an increase in the fair value of our fixed-rate debt of $192.8$213.3 million.
As of SeptemberJune 30, 2018,2019, our debt included variable-rate debt with a fair value of $807.3 million and a carrying value each of $807.1$13.9 million. The sensitivity analysis related to our variable-rate debt assumes an immediate 100 basis point move in interest rates from their SeptemberJune 30, 20182019 levels, with all other variables held constant. A 100 basis point increase or decrease in variable interest rates on our variable-rate debt would increase or decrease our interest expense by $8.1$0.1 million annually. See Note 96Debt to our consolidated financial statements.

Table of Contents

As of SeptemberJune 30, 2018,2019, our interest rate swap had a fair value that resulted in assetsliabilities of $0.8$27.6 million. See Note 27 –Summary of Significant Accounting Policies”Derivatives and Hedging Activities to our consolidated financial statements for further discussion.
As the information presented above includes only those exposures that existed as of SeptemberJune 30, 2018,2019, it does not consider exposures or positions arising after that date. The information presented herein has limited predictive value. Future actual realized gains or losses with respect to interest rate fluctuations will depend on cumulative exposures, hedging strategies employed and the magnitude of the fluctuations.
These amounts were determined by considering the impact of hypothetical interest rate changes on our borrowing costs and assume no other changes in our capital structure.
Credit Risk
Concentrations of credit risk arise when a number of tenants are engaged in similar business activities, or activities in the same geographic region, or have similar economic features that would cause their ability to meet contractual obligations, including those to the Company, to be similarly affected by changes in economic conditions. The Company is subject to tenant, geographic and industry concentrations. Any downturn of the economic conditions in one or more of these tenants, geographies or industries could result in a material reduction of our cash flows or material losses to us.

The factors considered in determining the credit risk of our tenants include, but are not limited to: payment history; credit status and change in status (credit ratings for public companies are used as a primary metric); change in tenant space needs (i.e., expansion/downsize); tenant financial performance; economic conditions in a specific geographic region; and industry specific credit considerations. We believe that the credit risk of our portfolio is reduced by the high quality of our existing tenant base, reviews of prospective tenants’ risk profiles prior to lease execution and consistent monitoring of our portfolio to identify potential problem tenants.
In the event that LIBOR is discontinued, the interest rate for the majority of our variable rate debt and the swap rate for the majority of our interest rate swaps following such event will be based on an alternative variable rate as specified in the applicable documentation governing such debt or swaps or as otherwise agreed upon. Such an event would not affect the Company's ability to borrow or maintain already outstanding borrowings or swaps, but the alternative variable rate could be higher and more volatile than LIBOR prior to its discontinuance. We understand that LIBOR is expected to remain available through the end of 2021, but may be discontinued or otherwise become unavailable thereafter.
