1. Organization and Business

As used in these consolidated financial statements, unless otherwise indicated, all references to “we,” “us,” “our,” the “Company,”  and “Paramount” refer to Paramount Group, Inc., a Maryland corporation, and its consolidated subsidiaries, including Paramount Group Operating Partnership LP (the “Operating Partnership”), a Delaware limited partnership. We are a fully-integrated real estate investment trust (“REIT”) focused on owning, operating, managing, acquiring and redeveloping high-quality, Class A office properties in select central business district submarkets of New York City and San Francisco. As of March 31, 2020, our portfolio consisted of 14 Class A office properties aggregating approximately 13.1 million square feet. We conduct our business through, and substantially all of our interests in properties and investments are held by, the Operating Partnership. We are the sole general partner of, and owned approximately 91.5% of, the Operating Partnership as of March 31, 2020.

2. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in conjunction with the instructions to Form 10-Q of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements have been condensed or omitted. These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Paramount and its consolidated subsidiaries, including the Operating Partnership. In the opinion of management, all significant adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) and eliminations (which include intercompany balances and transactions) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and changes in cash flows have been made. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2019 was derived from audited financial statements as of that date, but does not include all information and disclosures required by GAAP. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, as filed with the SEC.

Significant Accounting Policies

There are no material changes to our significant accounting policies as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Use of Estimates

We have made estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2020, are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

Reclassifications

Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation. See Note 4, Discontinued Operations.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2016-13, an update to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses. ASU 2016-13 requires measurement and recognition of expected credit losses on financial instruments measured at amortized cost at the end of each reporting period rather than recognizing the credit losses when it is probable that the loss has been incurred in accordance with current guidance. In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-19, which clarified that receivables arising from operating leases are not within the scope of ASC Topic 326, and instead, impairment of receivables arising from operating leases should be accounted for under the scope of ASC Topic 842, Leases. In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-05, which provides transition relief for entities adopting ASU 2016-13 by allowing entities to elect the fair value option on certain financial instruments. ASU 2016-13 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years that begin after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. We adopted the provisions of ASU 2016-13 on January 1, 2020. This adoption did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, an update to ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements. ASU 2018-13 modifies the disclosure requirements in ASC Topic 820, by (i) removing certain disclosure requirements related to transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and the valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements, (ii) modifying existing disclosure requirements related to measurement uncertainty and (iii) adding new disclosure requirements related to changes in unrealized gains or losses for the period included in other comprehensive income for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements and disclosures related to the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years that begin after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. We adopted the provisions of ASU 2018-13 on January 1, 2020. This adoption did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In October 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-17, an update to ASC Topic 810, Consolidations. ASU 2018-17 requires reporting entities to consider indirect interests held by related parties under common control on a proportional basis rather than as the equivalent of a direct interest in its entirety in determining whether a decision-making fee is a variable interest. ASU 2018-17 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years that begin after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. We adopted the provisions of ASU 2018-17 on January 1, 2020. This adoption did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, an update to ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes. ASU 2019-12 simplifies the accounting for income taxes by (i) eliminating certain exceptions within ASC Topic 740 and (ii) clarifying and amending the existing guidance to enable consistent application of ASC Topic 740.  ASU 2019-12 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years that begin after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. We are evaluating the impact of ASU 2019-12 on our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, which adds ASC Topic 848, Reference Rate Reform: Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. ASU 2020-04 provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions to ease financial reporting burdens related to applying current GAAP to modifications of contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions in connection with the transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. ASU 2020-04 is effective beginning on March 12, 2020 and may be applied prospectively to such transactions through December 31, 2022. We will apply ASU 2020-04 prospectively as and when we enter into the transactions to which this guidance applies.

In April 2020, the FASB staff issued a question and answer document (the “Lease Modification Q&A”) focused on the application of lease accounting guidance to lease concessions provided as a result of the coronavirus (“COVID-19”) global pandemic. Under existing lease guidance, the entity would have to determine, on a lease by lease basis, if a lease concession was the result of a new arrangement reached with the tenant, which would be accounted for under the lease modification framework, or if a lease concession was under the enforceable rights and obligations that existed in the original lease, which would be accounted for outside the lease modification framework. The Lease Modification Q&A provides entities with the option to elect to account for lease concessions as though the enforceable rights and obligations existed in the original lease. This election is only available when total cash flows resulting from the modified lease are substantially similar to the cash flows in the original lease. As of March 31, 2020, we have not modified any of our leases and as a result, have not yet made a determination on whether to elect this option. Accordingly, the Lease Modification Q&A did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.

3. Dispositions

1899 Pennsylvania Avenue

On March 6, 2020, we entered into an agreement to sell 1899 Pennsylvania Avenue, a 191,000 square foot, unencumbered office building located in Washington, D.C., for $115,000,000. The transaction, which is subject to customary closing conditions, is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2020.

1633 Broadway

On March 27, 2020, we entered into an agreement to sell a 10.0% interest in 1633 Broadway, a 2.5 million square foot trophy office building located in New York City, for $240,000,000 (based on a property valuation of $2.4 billion, or $960 per square foot). The property is currently encumbered with a $1.25 billion mortgage loan. Accordingly, we expect to realize net proceeds from the sale of approximately $114,000,000, after transaction costs. The transaction, which is subject to customary closing conditions, is expected to close in the second quarter of 2020.

4. Discontinued Operations

On March 6, 2020, we entered into an agreement to sell 1899 Pennsylvania Avenue, our sole remaining property in Washington, D.C. This disposition represents a strategic shift in our operations, where over the past two years, we have exited the Washington, D.C. office market by selling or entering into agreements to sell all of the assets in our Washington, D.C. portfolio. The disposition of this sole remaining asset meets the criteria of discontinued operations, under ASC Topic 205, Presentation of Financial Statements. Accordingly, we have reclassified the assets and liabilities and the results of operations of our Washington, D.C. segment as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

The tables below set forth the details of the assets and liabilities and results of operations related to discontinued operations as of the dates hereof and for the periods set forth below.

⁽¹⁾ As of March 31, 2020, our basis in the partnership that owns 712 Fifth Avenue, was negative $20,035 resulting from distributions made to us in excess of our share of earnings recognized. Accordingly, we no longer recognize our proportionate share of earnings from the venture because we have no further obligation to fund additional capital to the venture. Instead, we only recognize earnings to the extent we receive cash distributions from the venture.

⁽²⁾ As of March 31, 2020, the carrying amount of our investments in 55 Second Street, 60 Wall Street, One Steuart Lane and Oder-Center is greater than our share of equity in these investments by $495, $2,703, $939 and $4,702, respectively, and primarily represents the unamortized portion of our capitalized acquisition costs. Basis differences allocated to depreciable assets are being amortized into “loss from unconsolidated joint ventures” over the estimated useful life of the related assets.

11. Noncontrolling Interests

Consolidated Joint Ventures

Noncontrolling interests in consolidated joint ventures consist of equity interests held by third parties in One Market Plaza and 300 Mission Street. As March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, noncontrolling interests in our consolidated joint ventures aggregated $359,120,000 and $360,778,000, respectively.

Operating Partnership

Noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership represent common units of the Operating Partnership that are held by third parties, including management, and units issued to management under equity incentive plans. Common units of the Operating Partnership may be tendered for redemption to the Operating Partnership for cash. We, at our option, may assume that obligation and pay the holder either cash or common shares on a one-for-one basis. Since the number of common shares outstanding is equal to the number of common units owned by us, the redemption value of each common unit is equal to the market value of each common share and distributions paid to each common unitholder is equivalent to dividends paid to common stockholders. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership on our consolidated balance sheets had a carrying amount of $345,335,000 and $412,058,000, respectively, and a redemption value of $181,138,000 and $344,638,000, respectively.

12. Variable Interest Entities (“VIEs”)

In the normal course of business, we are the general partner of various types of investment vehicles, which may be considered VIEs. We may, from time to time, own equity or debt securities through vehicles, each of which are considered variable interests. Our involvement in financing the operations of the VIEs is generally limited to our investments in the entity. We consolidate these entities when we are deemed to be the primary beneficiary.

Consolidated VIEs

We are the sole general partner of, and owned approximately 91.5% of, the Operating Partnership as of March 31, 2020. The Operating Partnership is considered a VIE and is consolidated in our consolidated financial statements. Since we conduct our business through and substantially all of our interests are held by the Operating Partnership, the assets and liabilities on our consolidated financial statements represent the assets and liabilities of the Operating Partnership. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Operating Partnership held interests in consolidated VIEs owning properties and a real estate fund that were determined to be VIEs. The assets of these consolidated VIEs may only be used to settle the obligations of the entities and such obligations are secured only by the assets of the entities and are non-recourse to the Operating Partnership or us.

14. Leases

We lease office, retail and storage space to tenants, primarily under non-cancellable operating leases, which have terms generally ranging from five to fifteen years. Most of our leases provide tenants with extension options at either fixed or market rates and few of our leases provide tenants with options to early terminate, but such options generally impose an economic penalty on the tenant upon exercising. Our leases provide for (i) fixed payments of cash rents, which represents revenue each tenant pays in accordance with the terms of its respective lease and that is recognized on a straight-line basis over the non-cancellable term of the lease, and includes the effects of rent steps and rent abatements under the leases and (ii) variable payments of tenant reimbursements, which are recoveries of all or a portion of the operating expenses and real estate taxes of the property and is recognized in the same period as the expenses are incurred.

18. Incentive Compensation

Stock-Based Compensation

We account for all stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. As of March 31, 2020, we have 7,173,351 shares available for future grants under the 2014 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), if all awards granted are full value awards, as defined in the Plan. Stock-based compensation expense was $5,397,000 and $7,602,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

2016 Performance-Based Awards Program (“2016 Performance Program”)

The three-year performance measurement period with respect to our 2016 Performance Program ended on December 31, 2019. On January 17, 2020, the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors (the “Compensation Committee”) determined that (i) the performance goals were not met on an absolute Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”) basis and (ii) the performance goals met the 30th percentile of the performance of the SNL U.S. Office REIT Index constituents on a relative basis. Accordingly, of the 1,085,244 Long Term Incentive Plan (“LTIP”) units that were granted under the 2016 Performance Program, 216,005 LTIP units, or approximately 19.9% of the total units granted, were earned. Of the LTIP units that were earned, 107,996 LTIP units vested immediately on January 17, 2020 and the remaining 108,009 LTIP units are subject to vesting based on continuous employment with us through December 31, 2020. This award had a grant date fair value of $10,520,000 and a remaining unrecognized compensation cost of $851,000 as of March 31, 2020, which has a remaining weighted-average amortization period of 0.8 years.

2019 Performance-Based Awards Program (“2019 Performance Program”)

On January 17, 2020, the Compensation Committee approved the 2019 Performance Program, a multi-year performance-based long-term incentive compensation program. Under the 2019 Performance Program, participants may earn awards in the form of LTIP units based on our TSR over a three-year performance measurement period beginning on January 1, 2020 and continuing through December 31, 2022. Specifically, 50.0% of the awards would be earned based on the rank of our TSR relative to the TSR of our Central Business District focused New York City office peers, comprised of Vornado Realty Trust, SL Green Realty Corp., Empire State Realty Trust and Columbia Property Trust, and the remaining 50.0% of the awards would be earned based on the percentile rank of our TSR relative to performance of the SNL U.S. Office REIT Index constituents. Furthermore, if our TSR is negative over the three-year performance measurement period, then the number of LTIP units that are earned under the 2019 Performance Program will be reduced by 30.0% of the number of such awards that otherwise would have been earned. Additionally, if the designated performance objectives are achieved, awards earned under the 2019 Performance Program are subject to vesting based on continued employment with us through December 31, 2023, with 50.0% of each award vesting upon the conclusion of the performance measurement period, and the remaining 50.0% vesting on December 31, 2023. Lastly, our Named Executive Officers are required to hold earned awards for an additional year following vesting. The fair value of the awards granted under the 2019 Performance Program on the date of the grant was $7,488,250 and is being amortized into expense over the four-year vesting period using a graded vesting attribution method.

We have an agreement with HTC, a licensed broker in Germany, to supervise selling efforts for our private equity real estate funds (or investments in feeder vehicles for these funds) to investors in Germany, including distribution of securitized notes of feeder vehicles for Fund VIII and Fund X. Pursuant to this agreement, we have agreed to pay HTC for the costs incurred to sell investments in these feeder vehicles, which primarily consist of commissions paid to third party agents, and other incremental costs incurred by HTC as a result of the engagement, plus, in each case, a mark-up of 10%. HTC is 100% owned by Albert Behler, our Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President.  We incurred expenses of $139,000 and $624,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, in connection with this agreement, which is included as a component of “transaction related costs” on our consolidated statements of income.

21. Commitments and Contingencies

Insurance

We carry commercial general liability coverage on our properties, with limits of liability customary within the industry. Similarly, we are insured against the risk of direct and indirect physical damage to our properties including coverage for the perils such as floods, earthquakes and windstorms. Our policies also cover the loss of rental income during an estimated reconstruction period. Our policies reflect limits and deductibles customary in the industry and specific to the buildings and portfolio. We also obtain title insurance policies when acquiring new properties. We currently have coverage for losses incurred in connection with both domestic and foreign terrorist-related activities. While we do carry commercial general liability insurance, property insurance and terrorism insurance with respect to our properties, these policies include limits and terms we consider commercially reasonable. In addition, there are certain losses (including, but not limited to, losses arising from known environmental conditions or acts of war) that are not insured, in full or in part, because they are either uninsurable or the cost of insurance makes it, in our belief, economically impractical to maintain such coverage. Should an uninsured loss arise against us, we would be required to use our own funds to resolve the issue, including litigation costs. We believe the policy specifications and insured limits are adequate given the relative risk of loss, the cost of the coverage and industry practice and, in consultation with our insurance advisors, we believe the properties in our portfolio are adequately insured.

Other Commitments and Contingencies

We are a party to various claims and routine litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. Some of these claims or others to which we may be subject from time to time, including claims arising specifically from the formation transactions, in connection with our initial public offering, may result in defense costs, settlements, fines or judgments against us, some of which are not, or cannot be, covered by insurance. Payment of any such costs, settlements, fines or judgments that are not insured could have an adverse impact on our financial position and results of operations. Should any litigation arise in connection with the formation transactions, we would contest it vigorously. In addition, certain litigation or the resolution of certain litigation may affect the availability or cost of some of our insurance coverage, which could adversely impact our results of operations and cash flow, expose us to increased risks that would be uninsured, and/or adversely impact our ability to attract officers and directors.

The terms of our mortgage debt and certain side letters in place include certain restrictions and covenants which may limit, among other things, certain investments, the incurrence of additional indebtedness and liens and the disposition or other transfer of assets and interests in the borrower and other credit parties, and require compliance with certain debt yield, debt service coverage and loan to value ratios. In addition, our revolving credit facility contains representations, warranties, covenants, other agreements and events of default customary for agreements of this type with comparable companies. As of March 31, 2020, we believe we are in compliance with all of our covenants.

718 Fifth Avenue - Put Right

Prior to the formation transactions, an affiliate of our predecessor owned a 25.0% interest in 718 Fifth Avenue, a five-story building containing 19,050 square feet of prime retail space that is located on the southwest corner of 56th Street and Fifth Avenue in New York, (based on its 50.0% interest in a joint venture that held a 50.0% tenancy-in-common interest in the property). Prior to the completion of the formation transactions, this interest was sold to its partner in the 718 Fifth Avenue joint venture, who is also our joint venture partner in 712 Fifth Avenue, New York, New York. In connection with this sale, we granted our joint venture partner a put right, pursuant to which the 712 Fifth Avenue joint venture would be required to purchase the entire direct or indirect interests then held by our joint venture partner or its affiliates in 718 Fifth Avenue at a purchase price equal to the fair market value of such interests. The put right may be exercised at any time with the actual purchase occurring no earlier than 12 months after written notice is provided. If the put right is exercised and the 712 Fifth Avenue joint venture acquires the 50.0% tenancy-in-common interest in the property by our joint venture partner, we will own a 25.0% interest in 718 Fifth Avenue based on current ownership interests.

Transfer Tax Assessments

During 2017, the New York City Department of Finance issued Notices of Determination (“Notices”) assessing additional transfer taxes (including interest and penalties) in connection with the transfer of interests in certain properties during our 2014 initial public offering. We believe, after consultation with legal counsel, that the likelihood of a loss is reasonably possible, and while it is not possible to predict the outcome of these Notices, we estimate the range of loss could be between $0 and $44,500,000. Since no amount in this range is a better estimate than any other amount within the range, we have not accrued any liability arising from potential losses relating to these Notices in our consolidated financial statements.

22. Segments

Our reportable segments are separated based on the regions in which we conduct our business. Prior to January 1, 2020, our reportable segments consisted of New York, San Francisco and Washington, D.C. Upon entering into an agreement to sell 1899 Pennsylvania Avenue, our sole remaining property in the Washington, D.C. segment, we redefined our reportable segments into the two remaining regions in which we conduct our business: New York and San Francisco effective January 1, 2020. Our determination of segments is aligned with our method of internal reporting and the way our Chief Executive Officer, who is also our Chief Operating Decision Maker, makes key operating decisions, evaluates financial results and manages our business. In connection therewith, we have reclassified the Washington, D.C. segment financial data into Other segment and reclassified prior period segment financial data to conform to current period presentation.

The following tables provide Net Operating Income (“NOI”) for each reportable segment for the periods set forth below.

	For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2020
(Amounts in thousands)	Total			New York			San Francisco			Other
Property-related revenues	$	181,318		$	121,577		$	56,667		$	3,074

NOI (1)	$	122,823		$	77,650		$	41,538		$	3,635

⁽¹⁾ NOI is used to measure the operating performance of our properties. NOI consists of rental revenue (which includes property rentals, tenant reimbursements and lease termination income) and certain other property-related revenue less operating expenses (which includes property-related expenses such as cleaning, security, repairs and maintenance, utilities, property administration and real estate taxes). We use NOI internally as a performance measure and believe it provides useful information to investors regarding our financial condition and results of operations because it reflects only those income and expense items that are incurred at the property level. Other real estate companies may use different methodologies for calculating NOI and, accordingly, our presentation of NOI may not be comparable to other real estate companies.

23. Subsequent Events

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic. The outbreak of COVID-19 has caused, and continues to cause, severe disruptions in the global economy, including that of the United States. The circumstances surrounding COVID-19 continue to evolve at a rapid pace in the United States. Specifically, New York and San Francisco, the markets in which we operate and where a majority of our assets are located, have reacted by instituting quarantines, “pause” orders, “shelter-in-place” rules, restrictions on travel, and restrictions on the types of business that can operate. While our buildings have and continue to remain open and are operating responsibly, we have received letters from several tenants requesting “short-term” rent relief. We are in the process of evaluating tenant requests on a case-by-case basis. The rapid development and fluidity of this situation precludes us at this time from making any predictions as to the ultimate impact COVID-19 may have on our future financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

25

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements, including the related notes included therein.

Forward-Looking Statements

We make statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that are considered “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, which are usually identified by the use of words such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends,” “may,” “plans,” “projects,” “seeks,” “should,” “will,” and variations of such words or similar expressions. We intend these forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and are including this statement for purposes of complying with those safe harbor provisions. These forward-looking statements reflect our current views about our plans, intentions, expectations, strategies and prospects, which are based on the information currently available to us and on assumptions we have made. Although we believe that our plans, intentions, expectations, strategies and prospects as reflected in or suggested by those forward-looking statements are reasonable, we can give no assurance that the plans, intentions, expectations or strategies will be attained or achieved. Furthermore, actual results may differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements and will be affected by a variety of risks and factors that are beyond our control including, without limitation:

• the negative impact of the coronavirus (“COVID-19”) global pandemic on the U.S., regional and global economies and our tenants’ financial condition and results of operations;

• unfavorable market and economic conditions in the United States and globally and in New York City and San Francisco;

• risks associated with our high concentrations of properties in New York City and San Francisco;  

• risks associated with ownership of real estate;  

• decreased rental rates or increased vacancy rates;  

• the risk we may lose a major tenant;  

• limited ability to dispose of assets because of the relative illiquidity of real estate investments;  

• intense competition in the real estate market that may limit our ability to acquire attractive investment opportunities and increase the costs of those opportunities;  

• insufficient amounts of insurance;  

• uncertainties and risks related to adverse weather conditions, natural disasters and climate change;  

• risks associated with actual or threatened terrorist attacks;  

• exposure to liability relating to environmental and health and safety matters;  

• high costs associated with compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act;  

• failure of acquisitions to yield anticipated results;  

• risks associated with real estate activity through our joint ventures and private equity real estate funds;  

• general volatility of the capital and credit markets and the market price of our common stock;  

• exposure to litigation or other claims;

• loss of key personnel;  

• risks associated with security breaches through cyber attacks or cyber intrusions and other significant disruptions of our information technology (IT) networks and related systems;  

• risks associated with our substantial indebtedness;  

• failure to refinance current or future indebtedness on favorable terms, or at all;  

• failure to meet the restrictive covenants and requirements in our existing debt agreements;

26

• fluctuations in interest rates and increased costs to refinance or issue new debt;

• risks associated with variable rate debt, derivatives or hedging activity;

• risks associated with the market for our common stock;

• regulatory changes, including changes to tax laws and regulations;

• failure to qualify as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”);

• compliance with REIT requirements, which may cause us to forgo otherwise attractive opportunities or liquidate certain of our investments; or  

• any of the other risks included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, including those set forth in Item 1A entitled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 and in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Accordingly, there is no assurance that our expectations will be realized. Except as otherwise required by the U.S. federal securities laws, we disclaim any obligations or undertaking to publicly release any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statement contained herein (or elsewhere) to reflect any change in our expectations with regard thereto or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based. A reader should review carefully our consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto, as well as Item 1A entitled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 and in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Critical Accounting Policies

There are no material changes to our critical accounting policies disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Recently Issued Accounting Literature

A summary of our recently issued accounting literature and their potential impact on our consolidated financial statements, if any, are included in Note 2, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies, to our consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Business Overview

We are a fully-integrated REIT focused on owning, operating, managing, acquiring and redeveloping high-quality, Class A office properties in select central business district submarkets of New York City and San Francisco. We conduct our business through, and substantially all of our interests in properties and investments are held by, Paramount Group Operating Partnership LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”). We are the sole general partner of, and owned approximately 91.5%, of the Operating Partnership as of March 31, 2020.

COVID-19

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic. The outbreak of COVID-19 has caused, and continues to cause, severe disruptions in the global economy, including that of the United States. The circumstances surrounding COVID-19 continue to evolve at a rapid pace in the United States. Specifically, New York and San Francisco, the markets in which we operate and where a majority of our assets are located, have reacted by instituting quarantines, “pause” orders, “shelter-in-place” rules, restrictions on travel, and restrictions on the types of business that can operate. Our buildings have and continue to remain open and are operating responsibly, especially during these times. Navigating the current environment is our highest priority, while ensuring the health and safety of our tenants and employees.

Beginning in March and through April, we received letters from several tenants requesting “short-term” rent relief. These tenants account for approximately 16% of our pro rata share of annualized rents. We are in the process of evaluating tenant requests on a case-by-case basis and are closely monitoring all rent collections. As of April 27, 2020, we have collected approximately 94% of April’s monthly billings to tenants. The rapid development and fluidity of this situation precludes us at this time from making any predictions as to the ultimate impact COVID-19 may have on our future financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Dispositions

1899 Pennsylvania Avenue

On March 6, 2020, we entered into an agreement to sell 1899 Pennsylvania Avenue, a 191,000 square foot, unencumbered office building located in Washington, D.C., for $115,000,000. The transaction, which is subject to customary closing conditions, is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2020.

1633 Broadway

On March 27, 2020, we entered into an agreement to sell a 10.0% interest in 1633 Broadway, a 2.5 million square foot trophy office building located in New York City, for $240,000,000 (based on a property valuation of $2.4 billion, or $960 per square foot). The property is currently encumbered with a $1.25 billion mortgage loan. Accordingly, we expect to realize net proceeds from the sale of approximately $114,000,000, after transaction costs. The transaction, which is subject to customary closing conditions, is expected to close in the second quarter of 2020.

Stock Repurchase Program

On November 5, 2019, we received authorization from our Board of Directors to repurchase up to an additional $200,000,000 of our common stock, from time to time, in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. In the three months ended March 31, 2020, we repurchased 10,856,865 common shares at a weighted average price of $9.21 per share, or $100,000,000 in the aggregate. As of April 1, 2020, we have $100,000,000 available for future repurchases under the existing program. The amount and timing of future repurchases, if any, will depend on a number of factors, including, the price and availability of our shares, trading volume and general market conditions. The stock repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time.

28

Leasing Results - Three Months Ended March 31, 2020

In the three months ended March 31, 2020, we leased 206,784 square feet, of which our share was 126,068 square feet that was leased at a weighted average initial rent of $91.59 per square foot. This leasing activity, offset by lease expirations in the three months, caused leased occupancy to remain at 95.9% leased at March 31, 2020, in-line with leased occupancy reported at December 31, 2019. Same store leased occupancy (properties owned by us during both reporting periods and not classified as discontinued operations) was 96.0% at March 31, 2020, in-line with same store leased occupancy at December 31, 2019. Of the 206,784 square feet leased in the year, 104,308 square feet represented our share of second generation space (space that had been vacant for less than twelve months) for which we achieved rental rate increases of 31.3% on a cash basis and 38.2% on a GAAP basis. The weighted average lease term for leases signed during the three months was 4.8 years and weighted average tenant improvements and leasing commissions on these leases were $6.99 per square foot per annum, or 7.6% of initial rent.

New York:

In the three months ended March 31, 2020, we leased 48,872 square feet in our New York portfolio, of which our share was 44,604 square feet that was leased at a weighted average initial rent of $73.24 per square foot. This leasing activity, offset by the lease expirations in the three months, caused leased occupancy and same store leased occupancy to remain at 95.5% leased at March 31, 2020, in-line with leased occupancy and same store leased occupancy at December 31, 2019. Of the 48,872 square feet leased in the three months, 36,322 square feet represented our share of second generation space for which rental rate increased by 3.9% on a cash basis and 8.7% on a GAAP basis. The weighted average lease term for leases signed during the three months was 4.0 years and weighted average tenant improvements and leasing commissions on these leases were $7.97 per square foot per annum, or 10.9% of initial rent.

San Francisco:

In the three months ended March 31, 2020, we leased 157,912 square feet in our San Francisco portfolio, of which our share was 81,464 square feet that was leased at a weighted average initial rent of $101.64 per square foot. This leasing activity, offset by lease expirations in the three months, decreased our leased occupancy and same store leased occupancy by 10 basis points to 97.4% at March 31, 2020 from 97.5% at December 31, 2019. Of the 157,912 square feet leased in the three months, 67,986 square feet represented our share of second generation space for which we achieved rental rate increases of 44.2% on a cash basis and 51.8% on a GAAP basis. The weighted average lease term for leases signed during the three months was 5.2 years and weighted average tenant improvements and leasing commissions on these leases were $6.56 per square foot per annum, or 6.5% of initial rent.

Loss from Unconsolidated Joint Ventures

In the three months ended March 31, 2020, we recognized a $4,221,000 net loss from unconsolidated joint ventures compared to $1,027,000 of net loss in the three months ended March 31, 2019, an increase in loss of $3,194,000. This increase in loss resulted from:

Income from unconsolidated real estate funds was $52,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to $46,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2019, an increase of $6,000.

Interest and Other (Loss) Income, net

Interest and other loss was $996,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to income of $3,900,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2019, a decrease in income of $4,896,000. This decrease resulted from:

Interest and debt expense was $36,619,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to $36,924,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2019, a decrease in expense of $305,000. This decrease resulted primarily from lower interest expense on our variable rate debt due to a decrease in average LIBOR rates in the current year’s three months compared to prior year’s three months.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense was $604,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to $1,138,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2019, a decrease of $534,000. The decrease was primarily due to a true-up in 2019 of prior year tax provision.

Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests in Operating Partnership

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests in Operating Partnership was $341,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to $403,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2019, a decrease in income attributable to noncontrolling interests of $62,000. This decrease resulted from lower net income subject to allocation to the unitholders of the operating partnership for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

36

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity

Our primary sources of liquidity include existing cash balances, cash flow from operations and borrowings available under our revolving credit facility. We expect that these sources will provide adequate liquidity over the next 12 months for all anticipated needs, including scheduled principal and interest payments on our outstanding indebtedness, existing and anticipated capital improvements, the cost of securing new and renewal leases, dividends to stockholders and distributions to unitholders, and all other capital needs related to the operations of our business. We anticipate that our long-term needs including debt maturities and the acquisition of additional properties will be funded by operating cash flow, mortgage financings and/or re-financings, the issuance of long-term debt or equity and cash on hand.

Although we may be able to anticipate and plan for certain of our liquidity needs, unexpected increases in uses of cash that are beyond our control and which affect our financial condition and results of operations may arise, or our sources of liquidity may be fewer than, and the funds available from such sources may be less than, anticipated or required.

As of March 31, 2020, we had $1.20 billion of liquidity comprised of $377,689,000 of cash and cash equivalents, $20,563,000 of restricted cash and $800,000,000 of borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility. As of March 31, 2020, our outstanding consolidated debt aggregated $3.99 billion. We had $200,000,000 outstanding under our revolving credit facility as of March 31, 2020 and none of our debt matures until November 2021. We may refinance our maturing debt when it comes due or refinance or repay it early depending on prevailing market conditions, liquidity requirements and other factors. The amounts involved in connection with these transactions could be material to our consolidated financial statements.

Revolving Credit Facility

Our $1.0 billion revolving credit facility matures in January 2022 and has two six-month extension options. The interest rate on the facility, at current leverage levels, is LIBOR plus 115 basis points and has a 20 basis points facility fee. We also have an option, subject to customary conditions and incremental lender commitments, to increase the capacity under the facility to $1.5 billion at any time prior to the maturity date of the facility. The facility contains certain restrictions and covenants that require us to maintain, on an ongoing basis, (i) a leverage ratio not to exceed 60%, however, the leverage ratio may be increased to 65% for any fiscal quarter in which an acquisition of real estate is completed and for up to the next three subsequent consecutive fiscal quarters, (ii) a secured leverage ratio not to exceed 50%, (iii) a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.50, (iv) an unsecured leverage ratio not to exceed 60%, however, the unsecured leverage ratio may be increased to 65% for any fiscal quarter in which an acquisition of real estate is completed and for up to the next three subsequent consecutive fiscal quarters and (v) an unencumbered interest coverage ratio of at least 1.75. The facility also contains customary representations and warranties, limitations on permitted investments and other covenants

Dividend Policy

On March 13, 2020, we declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.10 per share of common stock for the first quarter ending March 31, 2020, which was paid on April 15, 2020 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on March 31, 2020. This dividend policy, if continued, would require us to pay out approximately $24,400,000 each quarter to common stockholders and unitholders.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of March 31, 2020, our unconsolidated joint ventures had $1.63 billion of outstanding indebtedness, of which our share was $604,112,000. We do not guarantee the indebtedness of our unconsolidated joint ventures other than providing customary environmental indemnities and guarantees of specified non-recourse carve outs relating to specified covenants and representations; however, we may elect to fund additional capital to a joint venture through equity contributions (generally on a basis proportionate to our ownership interests), advances or partner loans in order to enable the joint venture to repay this indebtedness upon maturity.

37

Stock Repurchase Program

On November 5, 2019, we received authorization from our Board of Directors to repurchase up to an additional $200,000,000 of our common stock, from time to time, in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. In the three months ended March 31, 2020, we repurchased 10,856,865 common shares at a weighted average price of $9.21 per share, or $100,000,000 in the aggregate. As of April 1, 2020, we have $100,000,000 available for future repurchases under the existing program. The amount and timing of future repurchases, if any, will depend on a number of factors, including, the price and availability of our shares, trading volume and general market conditions. The stock repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time.

Insurance

We carry commercial general liability coverage on our properties, with limits of liability customary within the industry. Similarly, we are insured against the risk of direct and indirect physical damage to our properties including coverage for the perils such as floods, earthquakes and windstorms. Our policies also cover the loss of rental income during an estimated reconstruction period. Our policies reflect limits and deductibles customary in the industry and specific to the buildings and portfolio. We also obtain title insurance policies when acquiring new properties. We currently have coverage for losses incurred in connection with both domestic and foreign terrorist-related activities. While we do carry commercial general liability insurance, property insurance and terrorism insurance with respect to our properties, these policies include limits and terms we consider commercially reasonable. In addition, there are certain losses (including, but not limited to, losses arising from known environmental conditions or acts of war) that are not insured, in full or in part, because they are either uninsurable or the cost of insurance makes it, in our belief, economically impractical to maintain such coverage. Should an uninsured loss arise against us, we would be required to use our own funds to resolve the issue, including litigation costs. We believe the policy specifications and insured limits are adequate given the relative risk of loss, the cost of the coverage and industry practice and, in consultation with our insurance advisors, we believe the properties in our portfolio are adequately insured.

Other Commitments and Contingencies

We are a party to various claims and routine litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. Some of these claims or others to which we may be subject from time to time, including claims arising specifically from the formation transactions, in connection with our initial public offering, may result in defense costs, settlements, fines or judgments against us, some of which are not, or cannot be, covered by insurance. Payment of any such costs, settlements, fines or judgments that are not insured could have an adverse impact on our financial position and results of operations. Should any litigation arise in connection with the formation transactions, we would contest it vigorously. In addition, certain litigation or the resolution of certain litigation may affect the availability or cost of some of our insurance coverage, which could adversely impact our results of operations and cash flow, expose us to increased risks that would be uninsured, and/or adversely impact our ability to attract officers and directors.

The terms of our mortgage debt and certain side letters in place include certain restrictions and covenants which may limit, among other things, certain investments, the incurrence of additional indebtedness and liens and the disposition or other transfer of assets and interests in the borrower and other credit parties, and require compliance with certain debt yield, debt service coverage and loan to value ratios. In addition, our revolving credit facility contains representations, warranties, covenants, other agreements and events of default customary for agreements of this type with comparable companies. As of March 31, 2020, we believe we are in compliance with all of our covenants.

Transfer Tax Assessments

During 2017, the New York City Department of Finance issued Notices of Determination (“Notices”) assessing additional transfer taxes (including interest and penalties) in connection with the transfer of interests in certain properties during our 2014 initial public offering. We believe, after consultation with legal counsel that the likelihood of a loss is reasonably possible, and while it is not possible to predict the outcome of these Notices, we estimate the range of loss could be between $0 and $44,500,000. Since no amount in this range is a better estimate than any other amount within the range, we have not accrued any liability arising from potential losses relating to these Notices in our consolidated financial statements.

Inflation

Substantially all of our leases provide for separate real estate tax and operating expense escalations. In addition, many of the leases provide for fixed base rent increases. We believe inflationary increases in expenses may be at least partially offset by the contractual rent increases and expense escalations described above. We do not believe inflation has had a material impact on our historical financial position or results of operations.

38

Cash Flows

Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash were $398,252,000 and $331,487,000 as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, and $360,471,000 and $365,409,000 as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash increased by $66,765,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and decreased by $4,938,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2019.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We use and present NOI, Same Store NOI, FFO and Core FFO, as supplemental measures of our performance. The summary below describes our use of these measures, provides information regarding why we believe these measures are meaningful supplemental measures of our performance and reconciles these measures from net income or loss, the most directly comparable GAAP measure. Other real estate companies may use different methodologies for calculating these measures, and accordingly, our presentation of these measures may not be comparable to other real estate companies. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered a substitute for, and should only be considered together with and as a supplement to, financial information presented in accordance with GAAP.

Net Operating Income (“NOI”)

We use NOI to measure the operating performance of our properties.  NOI consists of rental revenue (which includes property rentals, tenant reimbursements and lease termination income) and certain other property-related revenue less operating expenses (which includes property-related expenses such as cleaning, security, repairs and maintenance, utilities, property administration and real estate taxes). We also present Cash NOI which deducts from NOI, straight-line rent adjustments and the amortization of above and below-market leases, including our share of such adjustments of unconsolidated joint ventures. In addition, we present Paramount's share of NOI and Cash NOI which represents our share of NOI and Cash NOI of consolidated and unconsolidated joint ventures, based on our percentage ownership in the underlying assets. We use NOI and Cash NOI internally as performance measures and believe they provide useful information to investors regarding our financial condition and results of operations because they reflect only those income and expense items that are incurred at property level.

The following tables present reconciliations of our net income (loss) to NOI and Cash NOI for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019.

Funds from Operations (“FFO”) and Core Funds from Operations (“Core FFO”)

FFO is a supplemental measure of our performance. We present FFO in accordance with the definition adopted by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“Nareit”). Nareit defines FFO as net income or loss, calculated in accordance with GAAP, adjusted to exclude depreciation and amortization from real estate assets, impairment losses on certain real estate assets and gains or losses from the sale of certain real estate assets or from change in control of certain real estate assets, including our share of such adjustments of unconsolidated joint ventures. FFO is commonly used in the real estate industry to assist investors and analysts in comparing results of real estate companies because it excludes the effect of real estate depreciation and amortization and net gains on sales, which are based on historical costs and implicitly assume that the value of real estate diminishes predictably over time, rather than fluctuating based on existing market conditions. In addition, we present Core FFO as an alternative measure of our operating performance, which adjusts FFO for certain other items that we believe enhance the comparability of our FFO across periods. Core FFO, when applicable, excludes the impact of certain items, including, transaction related costs, realized and unrealized gains or losses on real estate fund investments, unrealized gains or losses on interest rate swaps, severance costs and gains or losses on early extinguishment of debt, in order to reflect the Core FFO of our real estate portfolio and operations. In future periods, we may also exclude other items from Core FFO that we believe may help investors compare our results.

FFO and Core FFO are presented as supplemental financial measures and do not fully represent our operating performance. Neither FFO nor Core FFO is intended to be a measure of cash flow or liquidity. Please refer to our consolidated financial statements, prepared in accordance with GAAP, for purposes of evaluating our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. The following table presents a reconciliation of net income to FFO and Core FFO for the periods set forth below.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and interest rates. Our future earnings, cash flows and fair values relevant to financial instruments are dependent upon prevalent market interest rates. Our primary market risk results from our indebtedness, which bears interest at both fixed and variable rates. We manage our market risk on variable rate debt by entering into swap agreements to fix the rate on all or a portion of the debt for varying periods through maturity. This in turn, reduces the risks of variability of cash flows created by variable rate debt and mitigates the risk of increases in interest rates. Our objective when undertaking such arrangements is to reduce our floating rate exposure and we do not enter into hedging arrangements for speculative purposes. Subject to maintaining our status as a REIT for Federal income tax purposes, we may utilize swap arrangements in the future.  

The following table summarizes our consolidated debt, the weighted average interest rates and the fair value as of March 31, 2020.

Property		Rate	2020		2021		2022		2023		2024		Thereafter		Total		Fair Value

In addition to the above, our unconsolidated joint ventures had $1.63 billion of outstanding indebtedness as of March 31, 2020, of which our share was $604,112,000.

The following table summarizes our share of total indebtedness and the effect to interest expense of a 100 basis point increase in LIBOR.

Noncontrolling interests' share of above						$	(602	)
Total change in annual net income						$	5,901
Per diluted share						$	0.03

Our variable rate debt outstanding as of March 31, 2020 is based on LIBOR, which is expected to remain available through the end of 2021, but may be discontinued or otherwise become unavailable thereafter. In the event that LIBOR is discontinued, the interest rate for our variable rate debt and interest rate swaps, including interest rates for our variable rate debt and interest rate swaps of our unconsolidated joint ventures 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 our 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.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is processed, recorded, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and regulations, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.

As of March 31, 2020, the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, regarding the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing evaluation, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is processed, recorded, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

From time to time, we are a party to various claims and routine litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. As of March 31, 2020, we do not believe that the results of any such claims or litigation, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

The following risk factor supplements the risk factors described under “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, and should be read in conjunction with the other risk factors presented in the Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Risks Related to Our Business and Operations as a result of COVID-19 pandemic

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic. The outbreak of COVID-19 has caused, and continues to cause, severe disruptions in the global economy, including that of the United States, and could adversely impact our financial condition and results of operations and the financial condition and results of operations of our tenants.

The outbreak of COVID-19 in many countries continues to adversely impact global economic activity and has contributed to significant volatility and negative pressure in financial markets. The global impact of the outbreak has been rapidly evolving and many countries, including the United States, have reacted by instituting quarantines, restrictions on travel and/or restrictions on types of business that may continue to operate. New York and San Francisco, the markets in which we operate and where a majority of our assets are located, have reacted by instituting quarantines, “pause” orders, “shelter-in-place” rules, restrictions on travel, and restrictions on the types of business that can operate. The COVID-19 outbreak has had, and may continue to have, a significant adverse impact on economic and market conditions of economies around the world, including the United States, and more specifically the economies of New York City and San Francisco and could trigger a period of global economic slowdown or global recession.

COVID-19 may have the effect of heightening many of the risks described in the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 and our and our tenants’ businesses could be adversely impacted by COVID-19 due to, among other factors:

• the effectiveness or lack of effectiveness of governmental relief in providing assistance to large and small businesses, including our tenants, that have suffered significant declines in revenues as a result of mandatory business shut-downs, “stay-at-home” orders and social distancing practices, as well as individuals adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and the potential for a prolonged, severe recession, could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations;

• the continued service and availability of personnel, including executive officers and other leaders that are part of the management team and the ability to recruit, attract and retain skilled personnel. To the extent management or personnel are impacted in significant numbers by the outbreak of pandemic or epidemic disease and are not available or allowed to conduct work, business and operating results may be negatively impacted;

• difficulty accessing debt and equity capital on attractive terms, or at all, and a severe disruption and instability in the global financial markets or deteriorations in credit and financing conditions may affect our and our tenants' ability to access capital necessary to fund business activities and repayment of debt on a timely basis, and may adversely affect our ability to meet liquidity and capital expenditure requirements or have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows;

• reduced economic activity impacting the businesses, financial condition and liquidity of our tenants, which could cause one or more of our tenants to be unable to meet their obligations to us, including their ability to make rental payments, in full, or at all, or to otherwise seek modifications of such obligations, including rent concessions, deferrals or abatements, or to declare bankruptcy;

48

• a general decline in business activity and demand for real estate transactions (including a related decrease in value of the underlying real estate), which could adversely affect our ability or desire to make strategic acquisitions or dispositions;

• our inability to renew leases, lease vacant space or re-lease space as leases expire on favorable terms, or at all; which could cause a decline in our receipt of rental payments;

• adaptions made by companies in response to “stay-at-home” orders and future limitations on in-person work environments could lead to a sustained shift away from in-person work environments and have an adverse effect on the overall demand for office space across our portfolio;

• increased vulnerability to cyber-security threats and potential breaches, including phishing attacks, malware and impersonation tactics, resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic because of the increase in numbers of individuals working from home;

• uncertainly as to what conditions must be satisfied before government authorities lift “stay-at-home” orders and public health officials begin the process of gradually returning Americans to work and whether government authorities will impose (or suggest) requirements on landlords, such as us, to protect the health and safety of tenants and visitors to our buildings could result in increased operating costs and demands on our property management teams to ensure compliance with any such requirements, as well as increased costs associated with protecting against potential liability arising from these measures, such as claims by tenants that the measures violate their leases and claims by visitors that the measures caused them damages;

• construction delays on tenant improvements due to restrictions on construction activities, work-stoppage orders or disruptions in the supply of materials could result in delays in the commencement of new leases, which could adversely impact our future revenues; and

• our ability to operate, which may cause our business and operating results to decline or impact our ability to comply with regulatory obligations leading to reputational harm and regulatory issues or fines.

The rapid development and fluidity of this situation precludes any prediction as to the ultimate impact of COVID-19. The full extent of the impact and effects of COVID-19 on our future financial performance, as a whole, and, specifically, on our tenants and their businesses, are uncertain at this time. The impact will depend on future developments, including, among other factors, the duration and spread of the outbreak, related travel advisories and restrictions, and the uncertainty with respect to the accessibility of additional liquidity or to the capital markets. COVID-19 and the current financial, economic and capital markets environment, and future developments in these and other areas present uncertainty and risk with respect to our performance, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we issued an aggregate of 79,286 shares of common stock in exchange for 79,286 common units of our Operating Partnership held by certain limited partners. These shares were issued in reliance on an exemption from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. We relied on this exemption based upon factual representations received from the limited partners who received the shares of common stock.

Recent Purchases of Equity Securities

On November 5, 2019, we received authorization from our Board of Directors to repurchase up to an additional $200,000,000 of our common stock, from time to time, in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. In the three months ended March 31, 2020, we repurchased 10,856,865 common shares at a weighted average price of $9.21 per share, or $100,000,000 in the aggregate. As of April 1, 2020, we have $100,000,000 available for future repurchases under the existing program. The amount and timing of future repurchases, if any, will depend on a number of factors, including, the price and availability of our shares, trading volume and general market conditions. The stock repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time.

The following table summarizes our purchases of equity securities in the three months ended March 31, 2020.

Period	Total Number of Shares Purchased			Average Price Paid per Share		Total Number of Shares Purchased as Part of Publicly Announced Plan		Maximum Approximate Dollar Value Available for Future Purchase
January 2020		4,750	(1)	$	14.20		-	$	200,000,000
February 2020		729,152	(2)		12.65		715,500		190,976,000
March 2020		10,147,634	(2)		8.97		10,141,365		100,000,000

⁽¹⁾ Represents shares of common stock surrendered by employees for the satisfaction of tax withholding obligations in connection with the vesting of restricted common stock.

⁽²⁾ Of the 729,152 and 10,147,634 of common shares repurchased in February and March 2020, respectively, 13,652 and 6,269 common shares represent shares surrendered by employee for satisfaction of tax withholding obligations in connection with the vesting of restricted common stock, respectively.

Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments And Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]

Commitments and Contingencies

21. Commitments and Contingencies

Insurance

We carry commercial general liability coverage on our properties, with limits of liability customary within the industry. Similarly, we are insured against the risk of direct and indirect physical damage to our properties including coverage for the perils such as floods, earthquakes and windstorms. Our policies also cover the loss of rental income during an estimated reconstruction period. Our policies reflect limits and deductibles customary in the industry and specific to the buildings and portfolio. We also obtain title insurance policies when acquiring new properties. We currently have coverage for losses incurred in connection with both domestic and foreign terrorist-related activities. While we do carry commercial general liability insurance, property insurance and terrorism insurance with respect to our properties, these policies include limits and terms we consider commercially reasonable. In addition, there are certain losses (including, but not limited to, losses arising from known environmental conditions or acts of war) that are not insured, in full or in part, because they are either uninsurable or the cost of insurance makes it, in our belief, economically impractical to maintain such coverage. Should an uninsured loss arise against us, we would be required to use our own funds to resolve the issue, including litigation costs. We believe the policy specifications and insured limits are adequate given the relative risk of loss, the cost of the coverage and industry practice and, in consultation with our insurance advisors, we believe the properties in our portfolio are adequately insured.

Other Commitments and Contingencies

We are a party to various claims and routine litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. Some of these claims or others to which we may be subject from time to time, including claims arising specifically from the formation transactions, in connection with our initial public offering, may result in defense costs, settlements, fines or judgments against us, some of which are not, or cannot be, covered by insurance. Payment of any such costs, settlements, fines or judgments that are not insured could have an adverse impact on our financial position and results of operations. Should any litigation arise in connection with the formation transactions, we would contest it vigorously. In addition, certain litigation or the resolution of certain litigation may affect the availability or cost of some of our insurance coverage, which could adversely impact our results of operations and cash flow, expose us to increased risks that would be uninsured, and/or adversely impact our ability to attract officers and directors.

The terms of our mortgage debt and certain side letters in place include certain restrictions and covenants which may limit, among other things, certain investments, the incurrence of additional indebtedness and liens and the disposition or other transfer of assets and interests in the borrower and other credit parties, and require compliance with certain debt yield, debt service coverage and loan to value ratios. In addition, our revolving credit facility contains representations, warranties, covenants, other agreements and events of default customary for agreements of this type with comparable companies. As of March 31, 2020, we believe we are in compliance with all of our covenants.

718 Fifth Avenue - Put Right

Prior to the formation transactions, an affiliate of our predecessor owned a 25.0% interest in 718 Fifth Avenue, a five-story building containing 19,050 square feet of prime retail space that is located on the southwest corner of 56th Street and Fifth Avenue in New York, (based on its 50.0% interest in a joint venture that held a 50.0% tenancy-in-common interest in the property). Prior to the completion of the formation transactions, this interest was sold to its partner in the 718 Fifth Avenue joint venture, who is also our joint venture partner in 712 Fifth Avenue, New York, New York. In connection with this sale, we granted our joint venture partner a put right, pursuant to which the 712 Fifth Avenue joint venture would be required to purchase the entire direct or indirect interests then held by our joint venture partner or its affiliates in 718 Fifth Avenue at a purchase price equal to the fair market value of such interests. The put right may be exercised at any time with the actual purchase occurring no earlier than 12 months after written notice is provided. If the put right is exercised and the 712 Fifth Avenue joint venture acquires the 50.0% tenancy-in-common interest in the property by our joint venture partner, we will own a 25.0% interest in 718 Fifth Avenue based on current ownership interests.

Transfer Tax Assessments

During 2017, the New York City Department of Finance issued Notices of Determination (“Notices”) assessing additional transfer taxes (including interest and penalties) in connection with the transfer of interests in certain properties during our 2014 initial public offering. We believe, after consultation with legal counsel, that the likelihood of a loss is reasonably possible, and while it is not possible to predict the outcome of these Notices, we estimate the range of loss could be between $0 and $44,500,000. Since no amount in this range is a better estimate than any other amount within the range, we have not accrued any liability arising from potential losses relating to these Notices in our consolidated financial statements.

Stock Repurchase Program

On November 5, 2019, we received authorization from our Board of Directors to repurchase up to an additional $200,000,000 of our common stock, from time to time, in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. In the three months ended March 31, 2020, we repurchased 10,856,865 common shares at a weighted average price of $9.21 per share, or $100,000,000 in the aggregate. As of April 1, 2020, we have $100,000,000 available for future repurchases under the existing program. The amount and timing of future repurchases, if any, will depend on a number of factors, including, the price and availability of our shares, trading volume and general market conditions. The stock repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time.

Instead, we only recognize earnings to the extent we receive cash distributions from the venture.}

Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Segments

22. Segments

Our reportable segments are separated based on the regions in which we conduct our business. Prior to January 1, 2020, our reportable segments consisted of New York, San Francisco and Washington, D.C. Upon entering into an agreement to sell 1899 Pennsylvania Avenue, our sole remaining property in the Washington, D.C. segment, we redefined our reportable segments into the two remaining regions in which we conduct our business: New York and San Francisco effective January 1, 2020. Our determination of segments is aligned with our method of internal reporting and the way our Chief Executive Officer, who is also our Chief Operating Decision Maker, makes key operating decisions, evaluates financial results and manages our business. In connection therewith, we have reclassified the Washington, D.C. segment financial data into Other segment and reclassified prior period segment financial data to conform to current period presentation.

The following tables provide Net Operating Income (“NOI”) for each reportable segment for the periods set forth below.

NOI (1)	$	122,823		$	77,650		$	41,538		$	3,635

^{(1) NOI is used to measure the operating performance of our properties. NOI consists of rental revenue (which includes property rentals, tenant reimbursements and lease termination income) and certain other property-related revenue less operating expenses (which includes property-related expenses such as cleaning, security, repairs and maintenance, utilities, property administration and real estate taxes). We use NOI internally as a performance measure and believe it provides useful information to investors regarding our financial condition and results of operations because it reflects only those income and expense items that are incurred at the property level. Other real estate companies may use different methodologies for calculating NOI and, accordingly, our presentation of NOI may not be comparable to other real estate companies.}

Discontinued Operations

4. Discontinued Operations

On March 6, 2020, we entered into an agreement to sell 1899 Pennsylvania Avenue, our sole remaining property in Washington, D.C. This disposition represents a strategic shift in our operations, where over the past two years, we have exited the Washington, D.C. office market by selling or entering into agreements to sell all of the assets in our Washington, D.C. portfolio. The disposition of this sole remaining asset meets the criteria of discontinued operations, under ASC Topic 205, Presentation of Financial Statements. Accordingly, we have reclassified the assets and liabilities and the results of operations of our Washington, D.C. segment as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

23. Subsequent Events

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic. The outbreak of COVID-19 has caused, and continues to cause, severe disruptions in the global economy, including that of the United States. The circumstances surrounding COVID-19 continue to evolve at a rapid pace in the United States. Specifically, New York and San Francisco, the markets in which we operate and where a majority of our assets are located, have reacted by instituting quarantines, “pause” orders, “shelter-in-place” rules, restrictions on travel, and restrictions on the types of business that can operate. While our buildings have and continue to remain open and are operating responsibly, we have received letters from several tenants requesting “short-term” rent relief. We are in the process of evaluating tenant requests on a case-by-case basis. The rapid development and fluidity of this situation precludes us at this time from making any predictions as to the ultimate impact COVID-19 may have on our future financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

^{(1) NOI is used to measure the operating performance of our properties. NOI consists of rental revenue (which includes property rentals, tenant reimbursements and lease termination income) and certain other property-related revenue less operating expenses (which includes property-related expenses such as cleaning, security, repairs and maintenance, utilities, property administration and real estate taxes). We use NOI internally as a performance measure and believe it provides useful information to investors regarding our financial condition and results of operations because it reflects only those income and expense items that are incurred at the property level. Other real estate companies may use different methodologies for calculating NOI and, accordingly, our presentation of NOI may not be comparable to other real estate companies.}

Variable Interest Entities ("VIEs")

12. Variable Interest Entities (“VIEs”)

In the normal course of business, we are the general partner of various types of investment vehicles, which may be considered VIEs. We may, from time to time, own equity or debt securities through vehicles, each of which are considered variable interests. Our involvement in financing the operations of the VIEs is generally limited to our investments in the entity. We consolidate these entities when we are deemed to be the primary beneficiary.

Consolidated VIEs

We are the sole general partner of, and owned approximately 91.5% of, the Operating Partnership as of March 31, 2020. The Operating Partnership is considered a VIE and is consolidated in our consolidated financial statements. Since we conduct our business through and substantially all of our interests are held by the Operating Partnership, the assets and liabilities on our consolidated financial statements represent the assets and liabilities of the Operating Partnership. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Operating Partnership held interests in consolidated VIEs owning properties and a real estate fund that were determined to be VIEs. The assets of these consolidated VIEs may only be used to settle the obligations of the entities and such obligations are secured only by the assets of the entities and are non-recourse to the Operating Partnership or us. The following table summarizes the assets and liabilities of consolidated VIEs of the Operating Partnership.

Basis Of Presentation And Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

2. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in conjunction with the instructions to Form 10-Q of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements have been condensed or omitted. These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Paramount and its consolidated subsidiaries, including the Operating Partnership. In the opinion of management, all significant adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) and eliminations (which include intercompany balances and transactions) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and changes in cash flows have been made. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2019 was derived from audited financial statements as of that date, but does not include all information and disclosures required by GAAP. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, as filed with the SEC.

Significant Accounting Policies

There are no material changes to our significant accounting policies as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Use of Estimates

We have made estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2020, are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

Reclassifications

Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation. See Note 4, Discontinued Operations.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2016-13, an update to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses. ASU 2016-13 requires measurement and recognition of expected credit losses on financial instruments measured at amortized cost at the end of each reporting period rather than recognizing the credit losses when it is probable that the loss has been incurred in accordance with current guidance. In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-19, which clarified that receivables arising from operating leases are not within the scope of ASC Topic 326, and instead, impairment of receivables arising from operating leases should be accounted for under the scope of ASC Topic 842, Leases. In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-05, which provides transition relief for entities adopting ASU 2016-13 by allowing entities to elect the fair value option on certain financial instruments. ASU 2016-13 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years that begin after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. We adopted the provisions of ASU 2016-13 on January 1, 2020. This adoption did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, an update to ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements. ASU 2018-13 modifies the disclosure requirements in ASC Topic 820, by (i) removing certain disclosure requirements related to transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and the valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements, (ii) modifying existing disclosure requirements related to measurement uncertainty and (iii) adding new disclosure requirements related to changes in unrealized gains or losses for the period included in other comprehensive income for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements and disclosures related to the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years that begin after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. We adopted the provisions of ASU 2018-13 on January 1, 2020. This adoption did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In October 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-17, an update to ASC Topic 810, Consolidations. ASU 2018-17 requires reporting entities to consider indirect interests held by related parties under common control on a proportional basis rather than as the equivalent of a direct interest in its entirety in determining whether a decision-making fee is a variable interest. ASU 2018-17 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years that begin after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. We adopted the provisions of ASU 2018-17 on January 1, 2020. This adoption did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, an update to ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes. ASU 2019-12 simplifies the accounting for income taxes by (i) eliminating certain exceptions within ASC Topic 740 and (ii) clarifying and amending the existing guidance to enable consistent application of ASC Topic 740.  ASU 2019-12 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years that begin after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. We are evaluating the impact of ASU 2019-12 on our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, which adds ASC Topic 848, Reference Rate Reform: Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. ASU 2020-04 provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions to ease financial reporting burdens related to applying current GAAP to modifications of contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions in connection with the transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. ASU 2020-04 is effective beginning on March 12, 2020 and may be applied prospectively to such transactions through December 31, 2022. We will apply ASU 2020-04 prospectively as and when we enter into the transactions to which this guidance applies.

In April 2020, the FASB staff issued a question and answer document (the “Lease Modification Q&A”) focused on the application of lease accounting guidance to lease concessions provided as a result of the coronavirus (“COVID-19”) global pandemic. Under existing lease guidance, the entity would have to determine, on a lease by lease basis, if a lease concession was the result of a new arrangement reached with the tenant, which would be accounted for under the lease modification framework, or if a lease concession was under the enforceable rights and obligations that existed in the original lease, which would be accounted for outside the lease modification framework. The Lease Modification Q&A provides entities with the option to elect to account for lease concessions as though the enforceable rights and obligations existed in the original lease. This election is only available when total cash flows resulting from the modified lease are substantially similar to the cash flows in the original lease. As of March 31, 2020, we have not modified any of our leases and as a result, have not yet made a determination on whether to elect this option. Accordingly, the Lease Modification Q&A did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Incentive Compensation

18. Incentive Compensation

Stock-Based Compensation

We account for all stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. As of March 31, 2020, we have 7,173,351 shares available for future grants under the 2014 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), if all awards granted are full value awards, as defined in the Plan. Stock-based compensation expense was $5,397,000 and $7,602,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

2016 Performance-Based Awards Program (“2016 Performance Program”)

The three-year performance measurement period with respect to our 2016 Performance Program ended on December 31, 2019. On January 17, 2020, the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors (the “Compensation Committee”) determined that (i) the performance goals were not met on an absolute Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”) basis and (ii) the performance goals met the 30th percentile of the performance of the SNL U.S. Office REIT Index constituents on a relative basis. Accordingly, of the 1,085,244 Long Term Incentive Plan (“LTIP”) units that were granted under the 2016 Performance Program, 216,005 LTIP units, or approximately 19.9% of the total units granted, were earned. Of the LTIP units that were earned, 107,996 LTIP units vested immediately on January 17, 2020 and the remaining 108,009 LTIP units are subject to vesting based on continuous employment with us through December 31, 2020. This award had a grant date fair value of $10,520,000 and a remaining unrecognized compensation cost of $851,000 as of March 31, 2020, which has a remaining weighted-average amortization period of 0.8 years.

2019 Performance-Based Awards Program (“2019 Performance Program”)

On January 17, 2020, the Compensation Committee approved the 2019 Performance Program, a multi-year performance-based long-term incentive compensation program. Under the 2019 Performance Program, participants may earn awards in the form of LTIP units based on our TSR over a three-year performance measurement period beginning on January 1, 2020 and continuing through December 31, 2022. Specifically, 50.0% of the awards would be earned based on the rank of our TSR relative to the TSR of our Central Business District focused New York City office peers, comprised of Vornado Realty Trust, SL Green Realty Corp., Empire State Realty Trust and Columbia Property Trust, and the remaining 50.0% of the awards would be earned based on the percentile rank of our TSR relative to performance of the SNL U.S. Office REIT Index constituents. Furthermore, if our TSR is negative over the three-year performance measurement period, then the number of LTIP units that are earned under the 2019 Performance Program will be reduced by 30.0% of the number of such awards that otherwise would have been earned. Additionally, if the designated performance objectives are achieved, awards earned under the 2019 Performance Program are subject to vesting based on continued employment with us through December 31, 2023, with 50.0% of each award vesting upon the conclusion of the performance measurement period, and the remaining 50.0% vesting on December 31, 2023. Lastly, our Named Executive Officers are required to hold earned awards for an additional year following vesting. The fair value of the awards granted under the 2019 Performance Program on the date of the grant was $7,488,250 and is being amortized into expense over the four-year vesting period using a graded vesting attribution method.

Leases

14. Leases

We lease office, retail and storage space to tenants, primarily under non-cancellable operating leases, which have terms generally ranging from five to fifteen years. Most of our leases provide tenants with extension options at either fixed or market rates and few of our leases provide tenants with options to early terminate, but such options generally impose an economic penalty on the tenant upon exercising. Our leases provide for (i) fixed payments of cash rents, which represents revenue each tenant pays in accordance with the terms of its respective lease and that is recognized on a straight-line basis over the non-cancellable term of the lease, and includes the effects of rent steps and rent abatements under the leases and (ii) variable payments of tenant reimbursements, which are recoveries of all or a portion of the operating expenses and real estate taxes of the property and is recognized in the same period as the expenses are incurred.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in conjunction with the instructions to Form 10-Q of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements have been condensed or omitted. These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Paramount and its consolidated subsidiaries, including the Operating Partnership. In the opinion of management, all significant adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) and eliminations (which include intercompany balances and transactions) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and changes in cash flows have been made. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2019 was derived from audited financial statements as of that date, but does not include all information and disclosures required by GAAP. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, as filed with the SEC.

Significant Accounting Policies

Significant Accounting Policies

There are no material changes to our significant accounting policies as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

We have made estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2020, are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

Reclassifications

Reclassifications

Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation. See Note 4, Discontinued Operations.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2016-13, an update to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses. ASU 2016-13 requires measurement and recognition of expected credit losses on financial instruments measured at amortized cost at the end of each reporting period rather than recognizing the credit losses when it is probable that the loss has been incurred in accordance with current guidance. In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-19, which clarified that receivables arising from operating leases are not within the scope of ASC Topic 326, and instead, impairment of receivables arising from operating leases should be accounted for under the scope of ASC Topic 842, Leases. In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-05, which provides transition relief for entities adopting ASU 2016-13 by allowing entities to elect the fair value option on certain financial instruments. ASU 2016-13 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years that begin after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. We adopted the provisions of ASU 2016-13 on January 1, 2020. This adoption did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, an update to ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements. ASU 2018-13 modifies the disclosure requirements in ASC Topic 820, by (i) removing certain disclosure requirements related to transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and the valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements, (ii) modifying existing disclosure requirements related to measurement uncertainty and (iii) adding new disclosure requirements related to changes in unrealized gains or losses for the period included in other comprehensive income for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements and disclosures related to the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years that begin after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. We adopted the provisions of ASU 2018-13 on January 1, 2020. This adoption did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In October 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-17, an update to ASC Topic 810, Consolidations. ASU 2018-17 requires reporting entities to consider indirect interests held by related parties under common control on a proportional basis rather than as the equivalent of a direct interest in its entirety in determining whether a decision-making fee is a variable interest. ASU 2018-17 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years that begin after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. We adopted the provisions of ASU 2018-17 on January 1, 2020. This adoption did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, an update to ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes. ASU 2019-12 simplifies the accounting for income taxes by (i) eliminating certain exceptions within ASC Topic 740 and (ii) clarifying and amending the existing guidance to enable consistent application of ASC Topic 740.  ASU 2019-12 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years that begin after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. We are evaluating the impact of ASU 2019-12 on our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, which adds ASC Topic 848, Reference Rate Reform: Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. ASU 2020-04 provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions to ease financial reporting burdens related to applying current GAAP to modifications of contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions in connection with the transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. ASU 2020-04 is effective beginning on March 12, 2020 and may be applied prospectively to such transactions through December 31, 2022. We will apply ASU 2020-04 prospectively as and when we enter into the transactions to which this guidance applies.

In April 2020, the FASB staff issued a question and answer document (the “Lease Modification Q&A”) focused on the application of lease accounting guidance to lease concessions provided as a result of the coronavirus (“COVID-19”) global pandemic. Under existing lease guidance, the entity would have to determine, on a lease by lease basis, if a lease concession was the result of a new arrangement reached with the tenant, which would be accounted for under the lease modification framework, or if a lease concession was under the enforceable rights and obligations that existed in the original lease, which would be accounted for outside the lease modification framework. The Lease Modification Q&A provides entities with the option to elect to account for lease concessions as though the enforceable rights and obligations existed in the original lease. This election is only available when total cash flows resulting from the modified lease are substantially similar to the cash flows in the original lease. As of March 31, 2020, we have not modified any of our leases and as a result, have not yet made a determination on whether to elect this option. Accordingly, the Lease Modification Q&A did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.

11. Noncontrolling Interests

Consolidated Joint Ventures

Noncontrolling interests in consolidated joint ventures consist of equity interests held by third parties in One Market Plaza and 300 Mission Street. As March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, noncontrolling interests in our consolidated joint ventures aggregated $359,120,000 and $360,778,000, respectively.

Consolidated Real Estate Fund

Noncontrolling interests in our consolidated real estate fund consists of equity interests held by third parties in our Residential Development Fund. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the noncontrolling interest in our consolidated real estate fund aggregated $80,476,000 and $72,396,000, respectively.

Operating Partnership

Noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership represent common units of the Operating Partnership that are held by third parties, including management, and units issued to management under equity incentive plans. Common units of the Operating Partnership may be tendered for redemption to the Operating Partnership for cash. We, at our option, may assume that obligation and pay the holder either cash or common shares on a one-for-one basis. Since the number of common shares outstanding is equal to the number of common units owned by us, the redemption value of each common unit is equal to the market value of each common share and distributions paid to each common unitholder is equivalent to dividends paid to common stockholders. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership on our consolidated balance sheets had a carrying amount of $345,335,000 and $412,058,000, respectively, and a redemption value of $181,138,000 and $344,638,000, respectively.
