Property Dispositions

During the quarter, the Company disposed of 11 assets for aggregate gross proceeds of $183.3 million at a 4.4% disposition cap rate on next twelve months cash NOI and a 6.7% capitalization rate on 2016 GAAP NOI. These aggregate gross disposition proceeds include $124.7 million from office and retail bank branch properties, including the sale of five office assets from the Company’s Gramercy Woods campus in Jacksonville, FL, as well as one office asset in Dallas, TX, one vacant industrial property in Minneapolis, MN and two industrial assets in Spartanburg, SC.

During the second quarter of 2017, the Company recorded net gains on disposals of $2.0 million for the 11 assets sold during the quarter. Net income includes impairments of real estate investments of $5.6 million related to office assets that the Company intends to sell, which is offset by the write off of below market lease liabilities of $4.3 million recorded as an increase to rental revenue. The impact of these transactions results in an increase to net income of $0.8 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, FFO and Core FFO of $4.3 million, or $0.03 per diluted share and no impact to AFFO.

Subsequent to quarter end, the Company disposed of three retail bank branches in Miami, FL, Bakersfield, CA and Summit, NJ, two office properties in San Diego, CA and Summit, NJ, and one vacant industrial property in Spartanburg for aggregate gross proceeds of $16.4 million at a 3.0% disposition cap rate on next twelve months cash NOI.

European Joint Ventures

Subsequent to quarter end, the Company announced that the Fund completed the previously announced sale of 100% of the Fund’s assets. The transaction resulted in net distributions to the Company of €90.8 million ($103.8 million), inclusive of a promoted interest distribution of approximately €7.9 million ($9.0 million). Gains on asset sales and recognition of the promoted interest associated with the sale will be recognized in the Company’s third quarter 2017 financial statements.

Under the terms of the sale, Gramercy Europe (Jersey) Limited, the Company’s Jersey-based investment and asset management subsidiary, will continue to manage the assets for the buyer on a fixed-fee basis until July 2018.

Additionally, subsequent to quarter end, the Company disposed of one of its two remaining properties in the Goodman U.K. Joint Venture. The South Normanton, U.K. property was sold for £15.2 million, or an approximately 6.0% disposition capitalization rate. The remaining 187,000 square foot property in the Goodman U.K. Joint Venture is located in the Brackmills Industrial Estate in Northampton, U.K. and is currently being marketed for lease. Once leased, the Company anticipates marketing the property for sale.

During the second quarter of 2017, Gramercy Europe acquired three properties. Since inception, Gramercy Europe has acquired 38 properties for €810.0 million, which includes the properties previously part of the former Goodman Europe joint venture.

Leasing Activity

During the second quarter of 2017, the Company executed one new lease and three renewals aggregating approximately 892 thousand square feet for an average lease term of 8.2 years and a cash leasing spread of 10.2% over prior annual base rent ("ABR"), and a straight-line leasing spread of 19.5% over prior straight-line ABR.

Asset Management Revenue

In the second quarter of 2017, the Company recognized fee revenues of $1.6 million for property management, asset management, and administrative fees, as compared to $4.6 million for the prior quarter. The decrease in fees of approximately $3.0 million for the second quarter of 2017 is due to a reduction in fees from the KBS arrangement, which ended in the first quarter of 2017, offset with $0.2 million in fees from the Company's Strategic Office Partners joint venture.

As of June 30, 2017, the Company maintained approximately $970.3 million of liquidity, as compared to approximately $784.5 million of liquidity reported at the end of the prior quarter.

General and administrative (or "G&A"), expenses were $9.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 compared to $8.8 million in the prior quarter. G&A expenses included non-cash share-based compensation costs of approximately $2.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 and the prior quarter.

In April 2017, the Company completed an underwritten public offering of 10.35 million of its common shares, which included the exercise in full by the underwriters of their option to purchase an additional 1.35 million additional common shares. The common shares were issued at a public offering price of $27.60 per share and the net proceeds from the offering were approximately $274.2 million. The Company used the net proceeds from the offering to fund acquisitions and to repay outstanding borrowings, including borrowings under its revolving credit facility.

Disclaimers

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Funds from operations (“FFO”): The revised White Paper on FFO approved by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, defines FFO as net income (loss) (determined in accordance with GAAP), excluding impairment write-downs of investments in depreciable real estate and investments in in-substance real estate investments and sales of depreciable operating properties, plus real estate-related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs), less distributions to noncontrolling interests and gains/losses from discontinued operations and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.

Core FFO and adjusted funds from operations (“AFFO”): Core FFO and AFFO are Company defined measures. CORE FFO is presented excluding transaction costs, gain (loss) on extinguishment of debt, other-than-temporary impairments on retained bonds, mark-to-market on interest rate swaps, and one-time charges. AFFO of the Company also excludes non-cash stock-based compensation expense, amortization of above and below market leases, amortization of deferred financing costs and non-cash interest, amortization of lease inducement costs, non-real estate depreciation and amortization, amortization of free rent received at property acquisition, and straight-line rent. The Company believes that Core FFO and AFFO are useful supplemental measures regarding the Company's operating performances as they provide a meaningful and consistent comparison of the Company's operating performance and allow investors to more easily compare the Company's operating results.

FFO, Core FFO and AFFO do not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to net income (determined in accordance with GAAP), as indications of our financial performance, or to cash flow from operating activities as measures of our liquidity, nor are they entirely indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions. Our calculations of FFO, Core FFO and AFFO may be different from the calculations used by other companies and, therefore, comparability may be limited.
