Forward-Looking Statements
 
 
 
Some of the statements contained in this presentation constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Any forward-looking statements contained in this presentation are intended to be made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions 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. Forward-looking statements relate to expectations, beliefs, projections, future plans and strategies, anticipated events or trends and similar expressions concerning matters that are not historical facts. In particular, statements pertaining to our capital resources, portfolio performance and results of operations contain forward-looking statements. Likewise, all of our statements regarding anticipated growth in our funds from operations and anticipated market conditions are forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” or “potential” or the negative of these words and phrases or similar words or phrases which are predictions of or indicate future events or trends and which do not relate solely to historical matters. You can also identify forward-looking statements by discussions of strategy, plans or intentions.
 
 
 
The forward-looking statements contained in this presentation reflect our current views about future events and are subject to numerous known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and changes in circumstances that may cause our actual results to differ significantly from those expressed in any forward-looking statement. We do not guarantee that the transactions and events described will happen as described (or that they will happen at all). We disclaim any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement to reflect changes in underlying assumptions or factors, of new information, data or methods, future events or other changes. For a further discussion of these and other factors that could cause our future results to differ materially from any forward-looking statements, see the sections entitled “Risk Factors” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q.

On May 15, 2016, we redeemed all of our 11,000,000 outstanding series E preferred shares at a price of $25.00 per share, for a total of $275.0 million, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends. The redemption payment occurred on May 16, 2016 (the first business day following the redemption date).

On May 15, 2016, we redeemed all of our 11,000,000 outstanding series E preferred shares at a price of $25.00 per share, for a total of $275.0 million, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends. The redemption payment occurred on May 16, 2016 (the first business day following the redemption date). We recorded $9.6 million related to the excess fair value of consideration paid over the carrying value of the preferred shares as a reduction to net income attributable to Equity Commonwealth common shareholders for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016.

Our calculations of FFO and Normalized FFO attributable to EQC common shareholders and unitholders per share - basic for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 includes 39 and 34 LTIP Units, respectively, that are excluded from the calculation of basic earnings per common share attributable only to Equity Commonwealth common shareholders.
(2
)
As of June 30, 2017, we had granted RSUs and LTIP Units to certain employees, officers, and trustees. RSUs and LTIP Units contain service and market-based vesting components.  None of the RSUs or LTIP Units have vested. If the market-based vesting component of these awards was measured as of June 30, 2017, and 2016, 1,191 and 1,429 common shares would be issued, respectively. Using a weighted average basis, 0 and 1,429 common shares are reflected in diluted earnings per share for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and 1,146 and 1,555 common shares are reflected in diluted earnings per share for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Using a weighted average basis, 1,189 and 1,429 common shares are reflected in diluted FFO per common share, and diluted Normalized FFO per common share for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively and 1,146 and 1,555 common shares are reflected in diluted FFO per common share and diluted Normalized FFO per common for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

)
As of June 30, 2017, we had 4,915 series D preferred shares outstanding that were convertible into 2,363 common shares. The series D preferred shares are anti-dilutive for GAAP EPS, FFO per common share and Normalized FFO per common share for all periods presented.

DEFINITIONS

Annualized Rental Revenue
Annualized Rental Revenue is annualized contractual rents from our tenants pursuant to leases which have commenced as of June 30, 2017, plus estimated recurring expense reimbursements; includes triple net lease rents and excludes lease value amortization, straight line rent adjustments, abated (“free”) rent periods and parking revenue. We calculate annualized rental revenue by aggregating the recurring billings outlined above for the most recent month during the quarter reported, adding abated rent, and multiplying the sum by 12 to provide an estimation of near-term potentially-recurring revenues. The annualized rental revenue of disposed properties is presented for the quarter-ended preceding each disposition.
Annualized rental revenue is a forward-looking non-GAAP measure. Annualized rental revenue cannot be reconciled to a comparable GAAP measure without unreasonable efforts, primarily due to the fact that it is calculated from the billings of tenants in the most recent month at the most recent rental rates during the quarter reported, whereas historical GAAP measures include billings from a potentially different group of tenants over multiple months at potentially different rental rates.
Building Improvements
Building improvements are expenditures to replace obsolete building components or extend the useful life of existing assets.
Consolidated Income Available for Debt Service
Consolidated income available for debt service is earnings from operations excluding interest expense, depreciation and amortization, taxes, and certain items that we view as nonrecurring or impacting comparability from period to period, determined together with debt service on a pro forma basis for the four consecutive fiscal quarters most recently ended.
Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) and Adjusted EBITDA
We calculate EBITDA as net income (loss) excluding 1) interest expense, 2) income tax expense, and 3) depreciation and amortization. Our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA differs from our calculation of EBITDA because we exclude certain items that we view as nonrecurring or impacting comparability from period to period. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are supplemental non-GAAP financial measures.
We consider EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to be appropriate measures of our operating performance, along with net income (loss), net income (loss) attributable to EQC common shareholders, operating income (loss) and cash flow from operating activities. We believe that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provide useful information to investors because by excluding the effects of certain historical amounts, such as interest, depreciation and amortization expense, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may facilitate a comparison of current operating performance with our past operating performance. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not represent cash generated by operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered alternatives to net income (loss), net income (loss) attributable to EQC common shareholders, operating income (loss) or cash flow from operating activities, determined in accordance with GAAP, or as indicators of our financial performance or liquidity, nor are these measures necessarily indicative of sufficient cash flow to fund all of our needs. These measures should be considered in conjunction with net income (loss), net income (loss) attributable to EQC common shareholders, operating income (loss) and cash flow from operating activities as presented in our condensed consolidated statements of operations, condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) and condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. Other REITs and real estate companies may calculate EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do.
Annualized Adjusted EBITDA
Annualized Adjusted EBITDA is Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2017 multiplied by four.
Enterprise Value
Enterprise value is net debt plus the market value of our preferred shares plus the market value of our common shares.
Funds from Operations (FFO) and Normalized FFO
We compute FFO in accordance with standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT). NAREIT defines FFO as net income (loss), calculated in accordance with GAAP, excluding real estate depreciation and amortization, gains (or losses) from sales of depreciable property, impairment of depreciable real estate, and our portion of these items related to equity investees and noncontrolling interests.  Our calculation of Normalized FFO differs from NAREIT’s definition of FFO because we exclude certain items that we view as nonrecurring or impacting comparability from period to period.  FFO and Normalized FFO are supplemental non-GAAP financial measures. We consider FFO and Normalized FFO to be appropriate measures of operating performance for a REIT, along with net income (loss), net income (loss) attributable to Equity Commonwealth common shareholders, operating income (loss) and cash flow from operating activities.
We believe that FFO and Normalized FFO provide useful information to investors because by excluding the effects of certain historical amounts, such as depreciation expense, FFO and Normalized FFO may facilitate a comparison of our operating performance between periods and with other REITs.  FFO and Normalized FFO do not represent cash generated by operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to net income (loss), net income (loss) attributable to Equity Commonwealth common shareholders, operating income (loss) or cash flow from operating activities, determined in accordance with GAAP, or as indicators of our financial performance or liquidity, nor are these measures

necessarily indicative of sufficient cash flow to fund all of our needs.  These measures should be considered in conjunction with net income (loss), net income (loss) attributable to Equity Commonwealth common shareholders, operating income (loss) and cash flow from operating activities as presented in our condensed consolidated statements of operations, condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income and condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.  Other REITs and real estate companies may calculate FFO and Normalized FFO differently than we do.
Leasing Costs
Leasing costs are primarily costs such as leasing commissions ("LC"'s) and related legal expenses.
LTIP Units
LTIP Units are a class of beneficial interests in EQC Operating Trust (the "Operating Trust") that may be issued to employees, officers, or trustees of the Operating Trust, EQC, or their subsidiaries.
Net Debt
Net debt is total debt minus cash and cash equivalents.
Net Operating Income (NOI), Same Property NOI, Cash Basis NOI, and Same Property Cash Basis NOI
NOI is income from our real estate including lease termination fees received from tenants less our property operating expenses. NOI excludes amortization of capitalized tenant improvement costs and leasing commissions and corporate level expenses. Cash Basis NOI is NOI excluding the effects of straight line rent adjustments, lease value amortization, and lease termination fees. The quarter-to-date same property versions of these measures include the results of properties continuously owned from April 1, 2016 through June 30, 2017. The year-to-date same property versions of these measures include the results of properties continuously owned from January 1, 2016 through June 30, 2017. Land parcels and properties classified as held for sale within our condensed consolidated balance sheets are excluded from the same property versions of these measures.
We consider these supplemental non-GAAP financial measures to be appropriate supplemental measures to net income (loss) because they help to understand the operations of our properties. We use these measures internally to evaluate property level performance, and we believe that they provide useful information to investors regarding our results of operations because they reflect only those income and expense items that are incurred at the property level and may facilitate comparisons of our operating performance between periods and with other REITs. Cash Basis NOI is among the factors considered with respect to acquisition, disposition and financing decisions. These measures do not represent cash generated by operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss), net income (loss) attributable to Equity Commonwealth common shareholders, operating income (loss) or cash flow from operating activities, determined in accordance with GAAP, or as indicators of our financial performance or liquidity, nor are these measures necessarily indicative of sufficient cash flow to fund all of our needs. These measures should be considered in conjunction with net income (loss), net income (loss) attributable to Equity Commonwealth common shareholders, operating income (loss) and cash flow from operating activities as presented in our condensed consolidated statements of operations, condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income and condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. Other REITs and real estate companies may calculate these measures differently than we do.
Net Book Value
Net book value represents the carrying value of real estate properties after depreciation and amortization, purchase price allocations, impairment write-downs, and currency adjustments, if any.
NOI Margin
NOI Margin is NOI (or the same property or cash basis derivations of NOI defined above) divided by the total revenues used to calculate NOI (or its derivation).
Percentage Commenced
Percentage commenced includes space subject to leases that have commenced, whether or not the tenant is in a free rent period.
Percentage Leased
Percentage leased includes space subject to leases that have commenced, space being fitted out for occupancy pursuant to existing leases, and space which is leased but not occupied or is being offered for sublease by tenants.
Same Properties
Our quarter-to-date same property portfolio is comprised of those properties continuously owned from April 1, 2016 through June 30, 2017. Our year-to-date same property portfolio is comprised of those properties continuously owned from January 1, 2016 through June 30, 2017. Land parcels and properties classified as held for sale within our condensed consolidated balance sheets are excluded.
