LEXINGTON REALTY TRUST AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2019 and 2018

(Unaudited and dollars in thousands, except share/unit and per share/unit data)

(1) The Company and Financial Statement Presentation

Lexington Realty Trust (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, except when the context only applies to the parent entity, the “Company”) is a Maryland real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that owns a diversified portfolio of equity investments in single-tenant commercial properties.

As of June 30, 2019, the Company had ownership interests in approximately 140 consolidated real estate properties, located in 33 states. The properties in which the Company has an interest are primarily net leased to tenants in various industries.

The Company believes that it continues to be operated in a manner that enables it to qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Accordingly, the Company will not be subject to federal income tax, provided that distributions to its shareholders equal at least the amount of its REIT taxable income as defined under the Code. The Company is permitted to participate in certain activities from which it was previously precluded in order to maintain its qualification as a REIT, so long as these activities are conducted in entities which elect to be treated as taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRS”) under the Code. As such, the TRS are subject to federal income taxes on the income from these activities.

The Company conducts its operations either directly or indirectly through (1) property owner subsidiaries, which are single-purpose entities, (2) an operating partnership, Lepercq Corporate Income Fund L.P. (“LCIF”), in which the Company is the sole unitholder of the general partner and the sole unitholder of the limited partner that holds a majority of the limited partner interests, (3) a wholly-owned TRS, and (4) investments in joint ventures. References to “OP units” refer to units of limited partner interests in LCIF. Property owner subsidiaries are landlords under leases for properties in which the Company has an interest and/or borrowers under loan agreements secured by properties in which the Company has an interest. Each property owner subsidiary is a separate and distinct legal entity that maintains separate books and records. The assets and credit of each property owner subsidiary with a property subject to a mortgage loan are not available to creditors to satisfy the debt and other obligations of any other person, including any other property owner subsidiary or any other affiliate. Consolidated entities that are not property owner subsidiaries do not directly own any of the assets of a property owner subsidiary (or the general partner, member or managing member of such property owner subsidiary), but merely hold partnership, membership or beneficial interests therein, which interests are subordinate to the claims of such property owner subsidiary's (or its general partner's, member's or managing member's) creditors.

The financial statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Quarterly Report”) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 have been prepared by the Company in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. However, in the opinion of management, the interim financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the results of the periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 filed with the SEC on March 13, 2019 (“Annual Report”).

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation. The Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with GAAP. The financial statements reflect the accounts of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries. The Company consolidates the wholly-owned subsidiaries, partnerships and joint ventures which it controls (i) through voting rights or similar rights or (ii) by means other than voting rights if the Company is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity ("VIE"). Entities which the Company does not control and entities which are VIEs in which the Company is not a primary beneficiary are accounted for under appropriate GAAP.

The Company is the primary beneficiary of certain VIEs as it has a controlling financial interest in these entities. LCIF, which is consolidated and in which the Company has an approximate 96% interest, is a VIE.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2019 and 2018

(Unaudited and dollars in thousands, except share/unit and per share/unit data)

The assets of each VIE are only available to satisfy such VIE's respective liabilities. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the VIEs' mortgages and notes payable were non-recourse to the Company. Below is a summary of selected financial data of consolidated VIEs for which the Company is the primary beneficiary included in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018:

	June 30, 2019		December 31, 2018
Real estate, net	$	474,667	$	509,916
Total assets	$	671,826	$	607,963
Mortgages and notes payable, net	$	83,117	$	192,791
Total liabilities	$	205,201	$	203,322

In addition, the Company acquires, from time to time, properties using a reverse like-kind exchange structure pursuant to Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code (a "reverse 1031 exchange") and, as such, the properties are in the possession of an Exchange Accommodation Titleholder ("EAT") until the reverse 1031 exchange is completed. The EAT is classified as a VIE as it is a “thinly capitalized” entity. The Company consolidates the EAT because it is the primary beneficiary as it has the ability to control the activities that most significantly impact the EAT's economic performance and can collapse the 1031 exchange structure at any time. The assets of the EAT primarily consist of leased property (net real estate and intangibles).

Use of Estimates. Management has made a number of significant estimates and assumptions to prepare these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP, including, among others, those relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are based on management's best estimates and judgment. Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors. Management adjusts such estimates when facts and circumstances dictate. The most significant estimates made include the recoverability of accounts receivable, the allocation of property purchase price to tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, the determination of VIEs and which entities should be consolidated, the determination of impairment of long-lived assets, loans receivable and equity method investments, the valuation of derivative financial instruments, the valuation of compensation plans and the useful lives of long-lived assets. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Fair Value Measurements. The Company follows the guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, as amended (“Topic 820”), to determine the fair value of financial and non-financial instruments. Topic 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into three levels: Level 1 - quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities; Level 2 - observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted in active markets, but corroborated by market data; and Level 3 - unobservable inputs, which are used when little or no market data is available. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs and the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs. In determining fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible, as well as considering counterparty credit risk. The Company has formally elected to apply the portfolio exception within Topic 820 with respect to measuring counterparty risk for all of its derivative transactions subject to master netting arrangements.

Reclassifications. Certain amounts included in the 2018 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2019 presentation.

New Accounting Standards Adopted in 2019. In June 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2018-07, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which aligns the measurement and classification guidance for share-based payments to nonemployees with the guidance for share-based payments to employees, with certain exceptions. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2019 on a prospective basis. The Company's adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on its financial statements.

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities, which amends the hedge accounting recognition and presentation requirements in Topic 815. The ASU is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2019 on a prospective basis. The Company's adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on its financial statements.

Additionally, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) effective January 1, 2019. Topic 842 requires lessees to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for those leases previously classified as operating leases. The Company adopted Topic 842 using the modified retrospective transition approach with January 1, 2019 as the Company's date of initial application, thus periods prior to January 1, 2019 conform to ASC Topic 840. The Company has elected other practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance including:

• a package of practical expedients that allows the Company to carryforward its assessment of whether a contract is or contains a lease, whether costs incurred qualify as initial direct costs, and historical lease classification for any leases that existed prior to the adoption;

• to account for lease and non-lease components as a single component if the (i) timing and patterns of transfer are the same for the lease and non-lease component and (ii) related lease component and the combined single lease component would be classified as an operating lease;

• to exclude from the consideration in the contract and variable lease payments not included in the consideration in the contract all taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific lease revenue-producing transaction and collected by the lessor from the lessee. Taxes assessed on the Company’s total gross receipts are excluded from this accounting policy election;

• to not assess if existing land easements in place prior to adoption meet the definition of a lease; and

• not recognizing leases with a term of 12 months or less on the balance sheet.

The Company did not elect the hindsight practical expedient to determine lease term. The adoption of this guidance required the Company to record right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. The Company did not recognize a cumulative adjustment to equity upon adoption. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations and unaudited condensed consolidated statement of cash flows. See note 9, “Lease Accounting” for further disclosures.

Recently Issued Accounting Guidance. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which requires that entities use a new forward-looking “expected loss” model that generally will result in the earlier recognition of allowance for credit losses. The measurement of expected credit losses is based upon historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. ASU No. 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is continuing to assess this guidance and does not expect the adoption of ASU No. 2016-13 to have a material impact on its financial statements.

(2) Earnings Per Share

A portion of the Company's non-vested share-based payment awards are considered participating securities and as such, the Company is required to use the two-class method for the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share. Under the two-class computation method, net losses are not allocated to participating securities unless the holder of the security has a contractual obligation to share in the losses. The non-vested share-based payment awards are not allocated losses as the awards do not have a contractual obligation to share in losses of the Company.

The following is a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted earnings per share computations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018:

The Company assesses on a regular basis whether there are any indicators that the carrying value of its real estate assets may be impaired. Potential indicators may include an increase in vacancy at a property, tenant financial instability, change in the estimated holding period of the asset and the potential sale or transfer of the property in the near future. An asset is determined to be impaired if the asset's carrying value is in excess of its estimated fair value and the Company estimates that its cost will not be recovered. During the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company recognized aggregate impairment charges on real estate properties of $1,682 and $88,318, respectively. Included in the impairment charges recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2019 are impairment charges of $1,433 and $249 recognized on unencumbered and vacant retail properties in Watertown, New York and Albany, Georgia, respectively, which were held for sale at June 30, 2019. Included in the impairment charges recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2018, are impairment charges of $17,906 recognized on a vacant encumbered office property in Overland Park, Kansas, whose mortgage is currently in default, $5,591 recognized on an office property in Kansas City, Missouri, and $25,585 recognized on an unencumbered office property in Memphis, Tennessee, which was sold in December 2018.

(5) Fair Value Measurements

The following tables present the Company's assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring and non-recurring basis as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, aggregated by the level in the fair value hierarchy within which those measurements fall:

		Balance		Fair Value Measurements Using
Description		June 30, 2019		(Level 1)		(Level 2)		(Level 3)
Impaired properties held for sale	(1)	$	2,700	$	—	$	1,500	$	1,200

		Balance		Fair Value Measurements Using
Description		December 31, 2018		(Level 1)		(Level 2)		(Level 3)
Interest rate swap assets	(2)	$	76	$	—	$	76	$	—
Impaired real estate assets	(3)	$	35,036	$	—	$	—	$	35,036

(1) Represents a non-recurring fair value measurement. Fair value as of the date of the impairment was determined by the signed purchase agreement for the property located in Albany, GA and an internal valuation of fair value prepared for the property located in Watertown, NY.

(2) The interest rate swap assets related to the Company's $300,000 term loan expired in January 2019.

(3) Represents a non-recurring fair value measurement as of the date of impairment.

The majority of the inputs used to value the Company's interest rate swaps fell within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, such as observable market interest rate curves; however, the credit valuation associated with the interest rate swaps utilized Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by the Company and its counterparties. As of December 31, 2018, the Company determined that the credit valuation adjustment relative to the overall fair value of the interest rate swaps was not significant. As a result, the interest rate swaps were classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The Company estimates the fair value of its real estate assets, including non-consolidated real estate assets, by using income and market valuation techniques. The Company may estimate fair values using market information such as recent sale contracts (Level 2 inputs) or recent sale offers or discounted cash flow models, which primarily rely on Level 3 inputs. The cash flow models include estimated cash inflows and outflows over a specified holding period. These cash flows may include contractual rental revenues, projected future rental revenues and expenses and forecasted tenant improvements and lease commissions based upon market conditions determined through discussion with local real estate professionals, experience the Company has with its other owned properties in such markets and expectations for growth. Capitalization rates and discount rates utilized in these models are estimated by management based upon rates that management believes to be within a reasonable range of current market rates for the respective properties based upon an analysis of factors such as property and tenant quality, geographical location and local supply and demand observations. To the extent the Company under estimates forecasted cash outflows (tenant improvements, lease commissions and operating costs) or over estimates forecasted cash inflows (rental revenue rates), the estimated fair value of its real estate assets could be overstated.

The table below sets forth the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, excluding held for sale assets.

	As of June 30, 2019				As of December 31, 2018
	Carrying Amount		Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Fair Value
Liabilities
Debt	$	1,410,106	$	1,362,438	$	1,492,483	$	1,409,773

The fair value of the Company's debt is primarily estimated utilizing Level 3 inputs by using a discounted cash flow analysis, based upon estimates of market interest rates, except for the Company's senior notes payable. The Company determines the fair value of its senior notes payable using market prices. The inputs used in determining the fair value of these notes are categorized as Level 1 due to the fact that the Company uses quoted market rates to value these instruments. However, the inputs used in determining the fair value could be categorized as Level 2 if trading volumes are low.

Fair values cannot be determined with precision, may not be substantiated by comparison to quoted prices in active markets and may not be realized upon sale. Additionally, there are inherent uncertainties in any fair value measurement technique, and changes in the underlying assumptions used, including discount rates, liquidity risks and estimates of future cash flows, could significantly affect the fair value measurement amounts.

Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash, Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable. The Company estimates that the fair value of cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximates carrying value due to the relatively short maturity of the instruments.

(6) Investments in Non-Consolidated Entities

Below is a schedule of the Company's investments in non-consolidated entities:

		Percentage Ownership at	Investment Balance as of
Investment		June 30, 2019	June 30, 2019		December 31, 2018
NNN Office JV (“NNN JV”)	(1)	20%	$	48,520	$	53,144
Etna Park 70 LLC	(2)	90%	5,849		4,774
Other	(3)	25%	5,497		8,265
			$	59,866	$	66,183

(1) During 2018, the Company disposed of 21 office assets to NNN JV for an aggregate gross disposition price of $725,800 and acquired a 20% interest in NNN JV. Two of the 21 properties, with a combined estimated fair value of $45,653, were contributed to NNN JV along with cash of $8,053. The Company recognized a gain of $14,645 in connection with the contribution of the two office assets to NNN JV, and in addition, NNN JV assumed an aggregate of $103,400 of non-recourse mortgage debt in the transaction. NNN JV obtained an aggregate of $362,800 of non-recourse mortgage financing which bears interest at LIBOR plus 200 basis points and has an initial term of three years but can be extended for two additional terms of one-year each. There is a rate increase of 15 basis points upon each extension. NNN JV entered into interest rate agreements which cap the LIBOR component of the $362,800 mortgage financing at 4.0% for two years. As of June 30, 2019, NNN JV had total assets of $698,770 and total liabilities of $456,554. The properties are encumbered by an aggregate of $436,200 of non-recourse mortgage debt as of June 30, 2019.

(2) Joint venture formed in 2017 with a developer entity to acquire a 151-acre parcel of developable land and pursue industrial build-to-suit opportunities. The developer entity has substantive participation rights. In December 2018, the parcel was subdivided and the Company received a distribution of an ownership interest in a 57-acre parcel with a historic cost of $3,008. The Company acquired control of the 57-acre parcel via the purchase of the Company's joint venture partners' interest.

(3) As of June 30, 2019, represents one joint venture investment, which owns a single-tenant, net-leased asset.

The Company has an unsecured credit agreement with KeyBank National Association, as agent. A summary of the significant terms, as of June 30, 2019, is as follows:

	Maturity Date	Current Interest Rate
$600,000 Revolving Credit Facility(1)	February 2023	LIBOR + 0.90%
$300,000 Term Loan(1)(2)	January 2021	LIBOR + 1.00%

(1) In February 2019, the Company replaced its revolving credit facility and the 2021 term loan with a new revolving credit facility and the continuation of the 2021 term loan (the “2019 Credit Agreement”). The 2019 Credit Agreement, among other things: (i) increased the total commitment of the revolving credit facility from $505,000 under the previous credit facility to $600,000 under the 2019 Credit Agreement; (ii) extended the maturity date of the revolving credit facility from August 2019 to February 2023 and allowed for the extension to February 2024 at the Company's option; and (iii) reduced the applicable margin rates on both the revolving credit facility and the 2021 term loan. The Company recognized $93 of debt satisfaction charges in connection with the transaction.

At June 30, 2019, the revolving credit facility had $55,000 in borrowings outstanding and availability of $545,000, subject to covenant compliance.

(2) The aggregate unamortized debt issuance costs for the term loan was $1,046 and $1,267 as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

The Company was compliant with all applicable financial covenants contained in its corporate level debt agreements at June 30, 2019.

During 2007, the Company issued $200,000 original principal amount of Trust Preferred Securities. The Trust Preferred Securities, which are classified as debt, are due in 2037, are open for redemption at the Company's option, bore interest at a fixed rate of 6.804% through April 2017 and bear interest at a variable rate of three month LIBOR plus 170 basis points through maturity. The interest rate at June 30, 2019 was 4.283%. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, there was $129,120 original principal amount of Trust Preferred Securities outstanding and $1,774 and $1,824, respectively, of unamortized debt issuance costs.

(8) Derivatives and Hedging Activities

Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives. The Company is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. The Company principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of its core business activities. The Company manages economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity, and credit risk primarily by managing the type, amount, sources, and duration of its debt funding and the use of derivative financial instruments. Specifically, the Company enters into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the receipt or payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the value of which is determined by interest rates. The Company's derivative financial instruments are used to manage differences in the amount, timing, and duration of the Company's known or expected cash receipts and its known or expected cash payments principally related to the Company's investments and borrowings.

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk. The Company's objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense, to manage its exposure to interest rate movements and therefore manage its cash outflows as it relates to the underlying debt instruments. To accomplish these objectives, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy relating to certain of its variable-rate debt instruments. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount.

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivatives is recognized directly in earnings. The Company did not incur any ineffectiveness during the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018.

As of June 30, 2019, the Company does not have any interest rate swap agreements related to its outstanding variable rate debt. The LIBOR swap rate on $255,000 of LIBOR-indexed variable-rate unsecured term loans expired in January 2019. Accordingly, the fair value of the swap was reclassified from other comprehensive income and as of June 30, 2019, the Company had no outstanding interest rate derivatives that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk.

(9) Lease Accounting

The following is a summary of the Company's accounting for leases as of and during the six-month period ended June 30, 2019:

Lessor

Lexington’s lease portfolio as a lessor primarily includes general purpose, single-tenant net-leased industrial and office real estate assets. Most of the Company’s leases require tenants to pay fixed annual rental payments that escalate on an annual basis and variable payments for other operating expenses, such as real estate taxes, insurance, common area maintenance ("CAM"), and utilities, that are based on the actual expenses incurred.

Certain leases allow for the tenant to renew the lease term upon expiration or earlier. Periods covered by a renewal option are included within the lease term only when renewals are deemed to be reasonably certain. Certain leases allow for the tenant to terminate the lease before the expiration of lease term and certain leases provide the tenant with the right to purchase the leased property at fair market value or a stipulated price upon expiration of the lease term or before.

Accounting guidance under Topic 842 requires the Company to make certain assumptions and judgments in applying the guidance, including determining whether an arrangement includes a lease and determining the lease term when the contract has renewal, purchase or early termination provisions.

From a lessor perspective, the Company concluded that revenue from lease components are primarily recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term unless another systematic and rational basis is more representative of the time pattern in which the use benefit is derived from the leased property. Revenue is recognized on a contractual basis for leases with escalations tied to a Consumer Price Index (CPI) with no floor. If the Company funds tenant improvements and the improvements are deemed to be owned by the Company, revenue recognition commences when the improvements are substantially complete and control of the space is turned over to the tenant. If the Company determines that the tenant allowances are lease incentives, the Company commences revenue recognition when possession or control of the space is turned over to the tenant for tenant work to begin. The lease incentive is recorded as a deferred expense and amortized as a reduction of revenue on a straight-line basis over the respective lease term. The Company recognizes lease termination fees as rental revenue in the period received and writes off unamortized lease-related intangible and other lease-related account balances, provided there are no further Company obligations under the lease. Otherwise, such fees and balances are recognized on a straight-line basis over the remaining obligation period with the termination payments being recorded as a component of rent receivable-deferred on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The Company analyzes its accounts receivable, customer creditworthiness and current economic trends when evaluating the adequacy of the collectability of the lessee's total accounts receivable balance on a lease by lease basis. In addition, tenants in bankruptcy are analyzed and considerations are made in connection with the expected pre-petition and post-petition claims. If a lessee's accounts receivable balance is considered uncollectable, the Company will write-off the receivable balances associated with the lease to rental revenue and cease to recognize lease income, including straight-line rent, unless cash is received. If the Company subsequently determines that it is probable it will collect substantially all of the lessee's remaining lease payments under the lease term; the Company will reinstate the straight-line balance adjusting for the amount related to the period when the lease payments were considered not probable. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, rental revenue was reduced by $307 for accounts receivable deemed uncollectable primarily related to the tenant in Thompson, GA filing for bankruptcy.

The Company determined that the lease and non-lease components in its leases are a single lease component and is, therefore, being recognized as rental revenue in its unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. The primary non-lease service that is included within rental revenue is CAM services provided as part of the Company’s real estate leases. Topic 842 requires that the Company capitalize, as initial direct costs, only those costs that are incurred due to the execution of a lease. As of June 30, 2019, the Company incurred $161 of costs that were not incremental to the execution of leases, which are included in property operating expenses on its unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The Company manages the risk associated with the residual value of its leased properties by including contract clauses that make tenants responsible for surrendering the space in good condition upon lease termination, holding a diversified portfolio, and other activities. The Company does not have residual value guarantees on specific properties.

The following table presents the Company’s classification of rental revenue for its operating leases for the six months ended June 30, 2019:

Classification	Fixed		Variable(1)		Total
Rental revenue	$	145,412	$	13,321	$	158,733

Lessee

The Company has ground leases, corporate leases for office space, and office equipment leases. All leases were classified as operating leases as of June 30, 2019. The leases have remaining lease terms of up to 44 years, some of which include options to extend the leases in 5 to 10-year increments for up to 54 years. Renewal periods are included in the lease term only when renewal is deemed to be reasonably certain. The lease term also includes periods covered by an option to terminate the lease if the Company is reasonably certain not to exercise the termination option. The Company measures its lease payments by including fixed rental payments and variable rental payments that tie to an index or a rate, such as CPI. Minimum lease payments for leases that commenced before the date of adoption of ASC 842 were determined based on previous leases guidance under ASC 840. The Company recognizes lease expense for its operating leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term and variable lease expense not included in the lease payment measurement as incurred.

The accounting guidance under Topic 842 requires the Company to make certain assumptions and judgments in applying the guidance, including determining whether an arrangement includes a lease, determining the term of a lease when the contract has renewal or termination provisions and determining the discount rate.

The Company determines whether an arrangement is or includes a lease at contract inception by evaluating whether the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. If the Company has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from and can direct the use of, the identified asset for a period of time, the Company accounts for the contract as a lease.

As the Company does not know the rate implicit in the respective leases, the Company used its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the transition date for such existing leases. The Company uses the information available at the lease commencement date to determine the discount rate for any new leases. The Company used a portfolio approach to determine its incremental borrowing rate. Lease contracts were grouped based on similar lease terms and economic environments in a manner in which the Company reasonably expects that the outcome from applying a portfolio approach does not differ materially from an individual lease approach. The Company estimated a collateralized discount rate for each portfolio of leases.

(10) Concentration of Risk

The Company seeks to reduce its operating and leasing risks through the geographic diversification of its properties, tenant industry diversification, avoidance of dependency on a single asset and the creditworthiness of its tenants. For the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, no single tenant represented greater than 10% of rental revenues.

Cash and cash equivalent balances at certain institutions may exceed insurable amounts. The Company believes it mitigates this risk by investing in or through major financial institutions.

(11) Equity

Shareholders' Equity. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company updated its At-The-Market offering program under which the Company may currently issue up to $100,000 in common shares over the term of the program. The Company did not issue common shares under its At-The-Market offering program during the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018.

In addition, during the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company issued 41,186 and 46,561, respectively, fully vested common shares to non-management members of the Company's Board of Trustees with a fair value of $345 and $431, respectively.

In July 2015, the Company's Board of Trustees authorized the repurchase of up to 10,000,000 common shares and, in 2018, increased this authorization by 10,000,000 common shares. This share repurchase program has no expiration date. During the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company repurchased and retired 441,581 and 925,775 common shares, respectively, at an average price of $8.13 and $7.93, respectively, per common share under the share repurchase program. The Company records a liability for repurchases that have not yet been settled as of period end. There were no unsettled repurchases as of June 30, 2019.

A summary of the changes in accumulated other comprehensive income related to the Company's cash flow hedges is as follows:

Noncontrolling Interests. In conjunction with several of the Company's acquisitions in prior years, sellers were issued OP units as a form of consideration. All OP units, other than OP units owned by the Company, are redeemable for common shares at certain times, at the option of the holders, and are generally not otherwise mandatorily redeemable by the Company. The OP units are classified as a component of permanent equity as the Company has determined that the OP units are not redeemable securities as defined by GAAP. Each OP unit is currently redeemable at the holder's option for approximately 1.13 common shares, subject to future adjustments.

As of June 30, 2019, there were approximately 3,138,000 OP units outstanding other than OP units owned by the Company. All OP units receive distributions in accordance with the LCIF partnership agreement. To the extent that the Company's dividend per common share is less than the stated distribution per OP unit per the LCIF partnership agreement, the distributions per OP unit are reduced by the percentage reduction in the Company's dividend per common share. No OP units have a liquidation preference.

The following discloses the effects of changes in the Company's ownership interests in its noncontrolling interests:

	Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Shareholders and Transfers from Noncontrolling Interests
	Six Months Ended June 30,

Change from net income (loss) attributable to shareholders and transfers from noncontrolling interests	$	51,521	$	(15,946	)

(12)Related Party Transactions

In 2018, a joint venture that owns a property in Houston, Texas obtained $8,500 of mezzanine financing from an affiliate of the Company's former Chairman, E. Robert Roskind. The non-recourse mezzanine financing was funded pursuant to the terms of the EB-5 visa program administered by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (“USCIS”). The joint venture reimbursed the former Chairman's affiliate $150 for its expenses. Under an indemnity agreement, the joint venture is required to pay an affiliate of the Company's former Chairman 0.625% of the outstanding principal amount of the EB-5 mezzanine financing per annum.

In addition, during 2017, the Company obtained non-recourse mezzanine financing in the initial amount of $8,000 from an affiliate of the Company's former Chairman, pursuant to the terms of the EB-5 visa program administered by the USCIS, for an investment in Charlotte, North Carolina. In January 2018, the Company obtained an additional $500 of financing proceeds. The Company reimbursed the former Chairman's affiliate approximately $105 for its expenses and paid a $128 structuring fee to the former Chairman's affiliate. The property was subsequently contributed to, and the financing was assumed by, NNN JV. See note 6.

There were no other related party transactions other than those disclosed elsewhere in this Quarterly Report and the audited consolidated financial statements in the Annual Report.

(13) Commitments and Contingencies

In addition to the commitments and contingencies disclosed elsewhere and previously disclosed, the Company has the following commitments and contingencies.

The Company is obligated under certain tenant leases, including its proportionate share for leases for non-consolidated entities, to fund the expansion of the underlying leased properties. The Company, under certain circumstances, may guarantee to tenants the completion of base building improvements and the payment of tenant improvement allowances and lease commissions on behalf of its subsidiaries.

The Company and LCIF are parties to a funding agreement under which the Company may be required to fund distributions made on account of LCIF's OP units. Pursuant to the funding agreement, the parties agreed that, if LCIF does not have sufficient cash available to make a quarterly distribution to its limited partners in an amount in accordance with the partnership agreement, Lexington will fund the shortfall. Payments under the agreement will be made in the form of loans to LCIF and will bear interest at prevailing rates as determined by the Company in its discretion, but no less than the applicable federal rate. LCIF's right to receive these loans will expire if no OP units remain outstanding and all such loans are repaid. No amounts have been advanced under this agreement.

From time to time, the Company is directly and indirectly involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. Management believes, based on currently available information, and after consultation with legal counsel, that although the outcomes of those normal course proceedings are uncertain, the results of such proceedings, in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations, except for the following:

Cummins Inc. v. Lexington Columbus (Jackson Street) L.P. and Wells Fargo Trust Company, N.A. (State of Indiana, County of Bartholomew, in the Bartholomew Superior Court). On October 25, 2018, Cummins Inc., the tenant in the Columbus, Indiana office building, filed a complaint for declaratory relief against Lexington Columbus (Jackson Street) L.P. (“Lex Columbus”), the Company's property owner subsidiary, and Wells Fargo Trust Company, N.A., the trustee for the noteholders with a security interest in the office building. Under the subject lease, Cummins Inc.’s tenancy extends through July 31, 2024, with options to further extend for additional time periods. Despite failing to timely provide notice of intent to exercise a purchase option for the office building that was expressly due by July 15, 2018, where time was of the essence, Cummins Inc. has asked the court for a declaration that it is entitled to purchase the building at the option price and to terminate the lease effective July 31, 2019. Cummins Inc. does not dispute that it failed to comply with the requirements of the purchase option, but alleges that it is entitled to relief under several equitable theories. Lex Columbus filed a motion to dismiss the complaint on January 8, 2019, which was denied on May 24, 2019.  Lex Columbus filed a Motion to Certify for Interlocutory Appeal the order denying  Lex Columbus's Motion to Dismiss, which was granted on June 17, 2019 together with a stay order until the completion of any subsequent appellate proceedings. On June 24, 2019, Cummins  Inc. filed a motion to reconsider the Court's June 17, 2019 orders, which the Court granted the same day, thereby vacating its June 17, 2019 orders. Lex Columbus filed a motion for the Court to reconsider its June 24, 2019 order on June 27, 2019. Following a hearing on July 26, 2019, the Court denied Lex Columbus's motion to reconsider and granted a motion by Cummins Inc. to deposit future rent due under the lease into a Court administered account. Cummins Inc. filed a motion to authorize depositing of the purchase price under the unexercised option to purchase into a special court administered account on July 31, 2019. Lex Columbus intends to file an answer, affirmative and other defenses and a counterclaim for damages and declaratory relief and jury demand on August 7, 2019. Discovery is ongoing. The Company believes that Indiana law supports Lex Columbus's right to enforce strict compliance with the terms of the option to purchase under the lease and retain ownership of the building and the Company intends to vigorously defend this claim.

(14) Supplemental Disclosure of Statement of Cash Flow Information

In addition to disclosures discussed elsewhere, during the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company paid $30,676 and $39,046, respectively, for interest and $1,330 and $1,219, respectively, for income taxes.

Upon adoption of Topic 842, the Company recognized initial operating lease right-of-use assets of $41,755 and initial operating lease liabilities of $43,004.

(15) Subsequent Events

Subsequent to June 30, 2019, the Company:

• satisfied an aggregate of $21,408 non-recourse mortgage loans; and

• extended the maturity of the $300,000 term loan to January 2025 and swapped the LIBOR portion of the interest rate to obtain a current fixed rate of 2.732% per annum.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL

CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Introduction

When we use the terms “the Company,” “we,” “us” and “our,” we mean Lexington Realty Trust and all entities owned by us, including non-consolidated entities, except where it is clear that the term means only Lexington Realty Trust. References herein to ‘‘this Quarterly Report” are to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019. The results of operations contained herein for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full year.

The following is a discussion and analysis of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial condition and results of operations of Lexington Realty Trust for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, and significant factors that could affect its prospective financial condition and results of operations. This discussion should be read together with the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company included herein and notes thereto and with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, on March 13, 2019, which we refer to as the Annual Report. Historical results may not be indicative of future performance.

Forward-Looking Statements. This Quarterly Report, together with other statements and information publicly disseminated by us, contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which we refer to as the Exchange Act. We intend such 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 include this statement for purposes of complying with these safe harbor provisions. Forward-looking statements, which are based on certain assumptions and describe our future plans, strategies and expectations, are generally identifiable by use of the words “believes,” “expects,” “intends,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “projects,” “may,” “plans,” “predicts,” “will,” “will likely result” or similar expressions. Readers should not rely on forward-looking statements since they involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which are, in some cases, beyond our control and which could materially affect actual results, performances or achievements. In particular, the factors that could cause actual results, performances or achievements to differ materially from current expectations, strategies or plans include, among others, any risks discussed below in the respective “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” and under the headings “Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report and “Risk Factors” and “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in the Annual Report and other periodic reports filed by the Company with the SEC. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to publicly release any revisions to these forward-looking statements which may be made to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. Accordingly, there is no assurance that our expectations will be realized.

Overview

General. We are a Maryland real estate investment trust, or REIT, that owns a diversified portfolio of equity investments in single-tenant commercial properties.

As of June 30, 2019, we had ownership interests in approximately 140 consolidated real estate properties, located in 33 states and containing an aggregate of approximately 48.9 million square feet of space, approximately 97.7% of which was leased. The properties in which we have an interest are primarily net leased to tenants in various industries.

Our revenues and cash flows are generated predominantly from property rent receipts. As a result, growth in revenues and cash flows is directly correlated to our ability to (1) acquire income producing real estate investments and (2) re-lease properties that are vacant, or may become vacant, at favorable rental rates.

Our current business strategy is focused on enhancing our cash flow stability, growing our portfolio with attractive leased industrial investments, reducing lease rollover risk and maintaining a strong and flexible balance sheet to allow us to act on opportunities as they arise. To that end, during 2019, we continue to strive to be an active seller of non-core assets such as office properties, retail properties and vacant properties. In addition, we continue our efforts to increase the percentage of industrial assets in our portfolio, including through limited speculative development. Our acquisitions of eight industrial assets during the six months ended June 30, 2019, have resulted in our percentage of gross book value from industrial assets, excluding held for sale assets, to increase to 73.9% as of June 30, 2019.

24

The investment market for industrial assets, specifically warehouse and distribution assets, remains competitive. Many prospective tenants are interested in facilities that are partially built and can be completed to the tenant's specifications because of the need to be operational in a short amount of time. As a result, the traditional build-to-suit arrangement is not as attractive to tenants with more immediate space needs. We believe that limited speculative development, through joint ventures, will allow us to be competitive in the investment market.

Leasing Activity. Re-leasing properties that are currently vacant or as leases expire at favorable effective rates is one of our primary areas of focus for asset management. We strive to manage down our shorter-term leases and extend their lease terms.

During the second quarter of 2019, we entered into new leases and lease extensions encompassing approximately1.1 million square feet. The average fixed rent on these extended leases was $6.26 per square foot compared to the average fixed rent on these leases before extension of $6.50 per square foot. The weighted-average cost of tenant improvements and lease commissions was $3.81 per square foot for new leases and $0.57 per square foot for extended leases.

The following summarizes our significant transactions during the three months ended June 30, 2019.

Critical Accounting Policies

Management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. In preparing our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC, we make assumptions, judgments and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our assumptions, judgments and estimates on historical experience and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. On a regular basis, we evaluate our assumptions, judgments and estimates. Certain of our accounting policies are discussed under (1) Item 7, “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report, (2) note 2 to our consolidated financial statements contained in our Annual Report and (3) note 1 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this Quarterly Report. We believe there have been no material changes to the items that we disclosed as our critical accounting policies under Item 7, “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report. On January 1, 2019, we adopted ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842); see notes 1 and 9 in the accompanying Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

We believe that cash flows from operations will continue to provide adequate capital to fund our operating and administrative expenses, regular debt service obligations and all dividend payments in accordance with applicable REIT requirements in both the short-term and long-term. In addition, we anticipate that cash on hand, borrowings under our unsecured revolving credit facility, capital recycling proceeds, issuances of equity, mortgage proceeds and other debt, as well as other available alternatives, will provide the necessary capital required by our business.

At June 30, 2019, we had $61.2 million and $32.0 million of property-specific mortgage balloon debt due in 2019 and 2020, respectively. We believe we have sufficient sources of liquidity to meet obligations we are required to meet through cash on hand ($43.8 million at June 30, 2019), property sale proceeds, borrowing capacity under our unsecured revolving credit facility ($545.0 million at June 30, 2019), which expires in 2023, but can be extended by us to 2024, and future cash flows from operations.

The mortgages encumbering the properties in which we have an interest are generally non-recourse to us, such that in situations where we believe it is beneficial to satisfy a mortgage obligation by transferring title of the property to the lender, including through a foreclosure, we may do so.

Cash flows from operations were $88.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to $110.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The decrease was primarily related to the impact of property sales and vacancies partially offset by cash flows generated from acquired properties. The underlying drivers that impact our working capital, and therefore cash flows from operations, are the timing of collection of rents, including reimbursements from tenants, payment of interest on mortgage debt and payment of operating and general and administrative costs. We believe the net-lease structure of the leases encumbering a majority of the properties in which we have an interest mitigates the risks of the timing of cash flows from operations since the payment and timing of operating costs related to the properties are generally borne directly by the tenant. Collection and timing of tenant rents are closely monitored by management as part of our cash management program.

Net cash used in investing activities totaled $147.2 million and $22.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Cash provided by investing activities related primarily to proceeds from the sale of properties and distributions from non-consolidated entities. Cash used in investing activities related primarily to acquisitions of real estate, capital expenditures, lease costs, investments in non-consolidated entities and changes in real estate deposits, net.

Net cash used in financing activities totaled $57.7 million and $54.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Cash used in financing activities was primarily attributable to dividend and distribution payments, repayment of debt obligations and repurchases of common shares. Cash provided by financing activities related primarily to revolving credit facility borrowings and proceeds from mortgages and notes payable.

Dividends. Dividends paid to our common and preferred shareholders were $70.7 million and $88.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

UPREIT Structure. As of June 30, 2019, 3.1 million units of limited partner interests, or OP units, in our operating partnership, LCIF, were outstanding not including OP units held by us. Assuming all outstanding OP units not held by us were redeemed on such date, the estimated fair value of such OP units was $33.3 million based on our closing price of $9.41 per common share as of June 30, 2019 and a redemption factor of approximately 1.13 common shares per OP unit.

Financings. The following senior notes were outstanding as of June 30, 2019:

Issue Date	Face Amount ($000)		Interest Rate		Maturity Date	Issue Price
May 2014	$	250,000	4.40	%	June 2024	99.883	%
June 2013	250,000		4.25	%	June 2023	99.026	%
	$	500,000

The senior notes are unsecured and pay interest semi-annually in arrears. We may redeem the senior notes at our option at any time prior to maturity in whole or in part by paying the principal amount of the senior notes being redeemed plus a premium.

We have an unsecured credit agreement with KeyBank National Association, as agent. A summary of the significant terms, as of June 30, 2019, is as follows:

	Maturity Date	Current Interest Rate
$600.0 Million Revolving Credit Facility(1)	February 2023	LIBOR + 0.90%
$300.0 Million Term Loan(1)	January 2021	LIBOR + 1.00%

(1) In February 2019, we replaced our revolving credit facility and the 2021 term loan with a new revolving credit facility and the continuation of the 2021 term loan (the “2019 Credit Agreement”). The 2019 Credit Agreement, among other things,: (i) increased the total commitment of the revolving credit facility from $505.0 million under the previous credit facility to $600.0 million under the 2019 Credit Agreement; (ii) extended the maturity date of the revolving credit facility from August 2019 to February 2023 and allowed for the extension to February 2024 at our option; and (iii) reduced the applicable margin rates on both the revolving credit facility and term loan due in 2021. At June 30, 2019, the revolving credit facility had $55.0 million of borrowings outstanding and availability of $545.0 million, subject to covenant compliance.

As of June 30, 2019, we were compliant with all applicable financial covenants contained in our corporate level debt agreements.

Results of Operations

Three months ended June 30, 2019 compared with three months ended June 30, 2018. The increase in net income attributable to common shareholders of $25.0 million was primarily due to the items discussed below.

The decrease in total gross revenues of $25.5 million was primarily attributable to a decrease in rental revenue of $26.7 million, offset by an increase in other revenue of $1.2 million. The decrease in rental revenue primarily related to property sales of $27.2 million, $3.5 million related to changes in occupancy and a decrease of $3.5 million related to the acceleration of below-market lease intangible accretion on three retail assets in 2018. These decreases were partially offset by an increase of $6.6 million related to the acquisition of properties. The increase in other revenue was primarily due to an increase in fee income related to fees earned from NNN JV, which was formed in August 2018.

The decrease in depreciation and amortization expense of $8.6 million was primarily due to sales of properties and assets being classified as held for sale, partially offset by acquisitions of certain properties.

The decrease in property operating expense of $1.1 million was primarily due to sales of properties with operating costs, partially offset by property acquisitions with operating expense responsibilities and changes in occupancy at certain properties.

The increase in non-operating income of $0.7 million was primarily related to funds received to settle a tenant's deferred maintenance obligation.

The decrease in interest and amortization expense of $4.7 million related primarily to a decrease in the amount of our debt outstanding.

The decrease in impairment charges of $34.2 million related to the timing of impairment charges recognized on certain properties. The impairments were primarily due to potential sales, vacancies and lack of leasing prospects. During the three months ended June 30, 2018, we completed an extensive impairment analysis of our non-industrial assets due to our contemplating a potentially shorter holding period for these assets, which resulted in an increase in impairment charges in 2018.

The increase in gains on sales of properties of $0.8 million related to the timing of property dispositions.

The decrease in net income attributable to noncontrolling interests of $0.5 million is primarily a result of a decrease in earnings of LCIF.

27

Six months ended June 30, 2019 compared with six months ended June 30, 2018. The increase in net income attributable to common shareholders of $67.4 million was primarily due to the items discussed below.

The decrease in total gross revenues of $47.1 million was primarily attributable to a decrease in rental revenue of $49.4 million, offset by an increase in other revenue of $2.3 million. The decrease in rental revenue primarily related to property sales of $56.1 million, $5.7 million related to changes in occupancy and a decrease of $3.5 million related to the acceleration of below-market lease intangible accretion on three retail assets in 2018. These decreases were partially offset by an increase of $13.6 million related to the acquisition of properties. The increase in other revenue was primarily due to an increase in fee income related to fees earned from NNN JV, which was formed in August 2018.

The decrease in depreciation and amortization expense of $17.6 million was primarily due to sales of properties and assets being classified as held for sale, partially offset by acquisitions of certain properties.

The decrease in property operating expense of $2.0 million was primarily due to sales of properties with operating costs, partially offset by property acquisitions with operating expense responsibilities and changes in occupancy at certain properties.

General and administrative expenses decreased by $0.6 million primarily due to a decrease in payroll expenses.

The increase in non-operating income of $0.9 million was primarily related to funds received in a bankruptcy claim and funds received to settle a tenant's deferred maintenance obligation.

The decrease in interest and amortization expense of $7.8 million related primarily to a decrease in the amount of our debt outstanding.

The decrease in impairment charges of $86.6 million related to the timing of impairment charges recognized on certain properties. The impairments were primarily due to potential sales, vacancies and lack of leasing prospects. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, we completed an extensive impairment analysis of our non-industrial assets due to our contemplating a potentially shorter holding period for these assets, which resulted in an increase in impairment charges in 2018.

The decrease in gains on sales of properties of $1.0 million related to the timing of property dispositions.

Same-Store Results

Same-store net operating income, or NOI, which is a non-GAAP measure, represents the NOI for consolidated properties that were owned and included in our portfolio for two comparable reporting periods, excluding properties encumbered by mortgage loans in default and the revenue associated with the expansion of properties, as applicable. We define NOI as operating revenues (rental income (less GAAP rent adjustments and lease termination income), and other property income) less property operating expenses. As same-store NOI excludes the change in NOI from acquired and disposed of properties, it highlights operating trends such as occupancy levels, rental rates and operating costs on properties. Other REITs may use different methodologies for calculating same-store NOI, and accordingly same-store NOI may not be comparable to other REITs. Management believes that same-store NOI is a useful supplemental measure of our operating performance. However, same-store NOI should not be viewed as an alternative measure of our financial performance since it does not reflect the operations of our entire portfolio, nor does it reflect the impact of general and administrative expenses, acquisition-related expenses, interest expense, depreciation and amortization costs, other nonproperty income and losses, the level of capital expenditures and leasing costs necessary to maintain the operating performance of our properties, or trends in development and construction activities which are significant economic costs and activities that could materially impact our results from operations. We believe that net income is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to same-store NOI.

The following presents our consolidated same-store NOI, for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 ($000's):

	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2019			2018
Total cash base rent	$	125,849		$	127,343
Tenant reimbursements	11,553			9,013
Property operating expenses	(17,452		)	(14,064		)
Same-store NOI	$	119,950		$	122,292

Our reported same-store NOI decreased from the first six months of 2018 to the first six months of 2019 by 1.9%. The decrease in same-store NOI between periods primarily related to a decrease in cash base rent and tenant reimbursements, which was primarily attributable to property vacancies and renewals or retenanting of office properties at lower rental rates in order to obtain long-term leases.

Funds From Operations

We believe that Funds from Operations, or FFO, which is a non-GAAP measure, is a widely recognized and appropriate measure of the performance of an equity REIT. We believe FFO is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of REITs, many of which present FFO when reporting their results. FFO is intended to exclude GAAP historical cost depreciation and amortization of real estate and related assets, which assumes that the value of real estate diminishes ratably over time. Historically, however, real estate values have risen or fallen with market conditions. As a result, FFO provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, reflects the impact to operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, development activities, interest costs and other matters without the inclusion of depreciation and amortization, providing perspective that may not necessarily be apparent from net income.

The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, defines FFO as “net income (calculated in accordance with GAAP), excluding depreciation and amortization related to real estate, gains and losses from the sales of certain real estate assets, gains and losses from change in control and impairment write-downs of certain real estate assets and investments in entities when the impairment is directly attributable to decreases in the value of depreciable real estate held by the entity. The reconciling items include amounts to adjust earnings from consolidated partially-owned entities and equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates to FFO.” FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and is not indicative of cash available to fund cash needs.

We present FFO available to common shareholders and unitholders - basic and also present FFO available to all equityholders and unitholders - diluted on a company-wide basis as if all securities that are convertible, at the holder's option, into our common shares, are converted at the beginning of the period. We also present Adjusted Company FFO available to all equityholders and unitholders - diluted which adjusts FFO available to all equityholders and unitholders - diluted for certain items which we believe are not indicative of the operating results of our real estate portfolio. We believe this is an appropriate presentation as it is frequently requested by security analysts, investors and other interested parties. Since others do not calculate these measures in a similar fashion, these measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures as reported by others. These measures should not be considered as an alternative to net income as an indicator of our operating performance or as an alternative to cash flow as a measure of liquidity.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of June 30, 2019, we had investments in various real estate entities with varying structures. The real estate investments owned by these entities are generally financed with non-recourse debt. Non-recourse debt is generally defined as debt whereby the lenders' sole recourse with respect to borrower defaults is limited to the value of the assets collateralized by the debt. The lender generally does not have recourse against any other assets owned by the borrower or any of the members or partners of the borrower, except for certain specified exceptions listed in the particular loan documents. These exceptions generally relate to "bad boy" acts, including fraud and breaches of material representations. We have guaranteed such obligations for certain of our non-consolidated entities.

31

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE

DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Our exposure to market risk relates primarily to our variable-rate indebtedness not subject to interest rate swaps and our fixed-rate debt. Our consolidated aggregate principal variable-rate indebtedness was $484.1 million and $669.1 million at June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, which represented 31.6% and 31.4% of our aggregate principal consolidated indebtedness. During the three-month periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, our variable-rate indebtedness had a weighted-average interest rate of 3.7% and 3.2%, respectively. Had the weighted-average interest rate been 100 basis points higher, our interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 would have increased by $1.1 million and $1.6 million, respectively. During the six-month periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, our variable-rate indebtedness had a weighted-average interest rate of 3.8% and 3.0%, respectively. Had the weighted-average interest rate been 100 basis points higher, our interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 would have increased by $2.1 million and $2.9 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2019 and 2018, our aggregate principal consolidated fixed-rate debt was $1.0 billion and $1.5 billion, respectively, which represented 68.4% and 68.6%, respectively, of our aggregate principal indebtedness.

For certain of our financial instruments, fair values are not readily available since there are no active trading markets as characterized by current exchanges between willing parties. Accordingly, we derive or estimate fair values using various valuation techniques, such as computing the present value of estimated future cash flows using discount rates commensurate with the risks involved. However, the determination of estimated cash flows may be subjective and imprecise. Changes in assumptions or estimation methodologies can have a material effect on these estimated fair values. The following fair value was determined using the interest rates that we believe our outstanding fixed-rate indebtedness would warrant as of June 30, 2019. We believe the fair value is indicative of the interest rate environment as of June 30, 2019, but this amount does not take into consideration the effects of subsequent interest rate fluctuations. Accordingly, we estimate that the fair value of our fixed-rate indebtedness was $1.0 billion as of June 30, 2019.

Our interest rate risk objectives are to limit the impact of interest rate fluctuations on earnings and cash flows and to lower our overall borrowing costs. To achieve these objectives, we manage our exposure to fluctuations in market interest rates through the use of fixed-rate debt instruments to the extent that reasonably favorable rates are obtainable with such arrangements. We may enter into derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swaps or caps to mitigate our interest rate risk on a related financial instrument or to effectively lock the interest rate on a portion of our variable-rate debt. As of June 30, 2019, we had no interest rate swap agreements (see note 8 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this Quarterly Report).

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such terms are defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report to determine if such controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms and that information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management, including each of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2019.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter to which this Quarterly Report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls. Internal control over financial reporting cannot provide absolute assurance of achieving financial reporting objectives because of its inherent limitations. Internal control over financial reporting is a process that involves human diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgment and breakdowns resulting from human failures. Internal control over financial reporting also can be circumvented by collusion or improper management override. Because of such limitations, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings.

From time to time, we are directly and indirectly involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business, including claims by lenders under non-recourse carve-out guarantees. We believe, based on currently available information, and after consultation with legal counsel, that although the outcomes of those normal course proceedings are uncertain, the results of such proceedings, in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, except for the following:

Cummins Inc. v. Lexington Columbus (Jackson Street) L.P. and Wells Fargo Trust Company, N.A. (State of Indiana, County of Bartholomew, in the Bartholomew Superior Court). On October 25, 2018, Cummins Inc., the tenant in the Columbus, Indiana office building, filed a complaint for declaratory relief against Lexington Columbus (Jackson Street) L.P., which we refer to as Lex Columbus, our property owner subsidiary, and Wells Fargo Trust Company, N.A., the trustee for the noteholders with a security interest in the office building. Under the subject lease, Cummins Inc.’s tenancy extends through July 31, 2024, with options to further extend for additional time periods. Despite failing to timely provide notice of intent to exercise a purchase option for the office building that was expressly due by July 15, 2018, where time was of the essence, Cummins Inc. has asked the court for a declaration that it is entitled to purchase the building at the option price and to terminate the lease effective July 31, 2019. Cummins Inc. does not dispute that it failed to comply with the requirements of the purchase option, but alleges that it is entitled to relief under several equitable theories. Lex Columbus filed a motion to dismiss the complaint on January 8, 2019, which was denied on May 24, 2019.  Lex Columbus filed a Motion to Certify for Interlocutory Appeal the order denying  Lex Columbus's Motion to Dismiss, which was granted on June 17, 2019 together with a stay order until the completion of any subsequent appellate proceedings. On June 24, 2019, Cummins  Inc. filed a motion to reconsider the Court's June 17, 2019 orders, which the Court granted the same day, thereby vacating its June 17, 2019 orders. Lex Columbus filed a motion for the Court to reconsider its June 24, 2019 order on June 27, 2019. Following a hearing on July 26, 2019, the Court denied Lex Columbus's motion to reconsider and granted a motion by Cummins Inc. to deposit future rent due under the lease into a Court administered account. Cummins Inc. filed a motion to authorize depositing of the purchase price under the unexercised option to purchase into a special court administered account on July 31, 2019. Lex Columbus intends to file an answer, affirmative and other defenses and a counterclaim for damages and declaratory relief and jury demand on August 7, 2019. Discovery is ongoing. We believe that Indiana law supports Lex Columbus’s right to enforce strict compliance with the terms of the option to purchase under the lease and retain ownership of the building and we intend to vigorously defend this claim.

ITEM 1A. Risk Factors.

There have been no material changes in our risk factors from those disclosed in the Annual Report other than the below.

Our real estate development activities are subject to additional risks.

We have a joint venture with a developer that owns a developable parcel of land. While the joint venture initially only intended to develop pre-leased properties, the joint venture is now pursuing a speculative development strategy. Due to the competition in the industrial real estate market, we believe that speculative development is an essential part of our strategy to transition to an industrial focused REIT. Accordingly, we are pursuing other similar speculative development joint venture arrangements.

Development activities generally require various government and other approvals, which we may not receive. In addition, development activities, including speculative development and redevelopment and renovation of vacant properties, are subject to risks including, but not limited to:

• Unsuccessful development opportunities could cause us to incur direct expenses;

• Construction costs of a project may exceed original estimates, possibly making the project less profitable than originally estimated or unprofitable;

• Time required to complete the construction of a project or to lease up the completed project may be greater than originally anticipated, thereby adversely affecting our cash flow and liquidity;

• We may not be able to find tenants to lease the space built on a speculative basis or in a redeveloped or renovated building, which will impact our cash flow and ability to finance or sell such properties;

• Occupancy rates and rents of a completed project may not be sufficient to make the project profitable; and

• Favorable financing sources to fund development activities may not be available.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

The Company and Financial Statement Presentation

The Company and Financial Statement Presentation

Lexington Realty Trust (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, except when the context only applies to the parent entity, the “Company”) is a Maryland real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that owns a diversified portfolio of equity investments in single-tenant commercial properties.

As of June 30, 2019, the Company had ownership interests in approximately 140 consolidated real estate properties, located in 33 states. The properties in which the Company has an interest are primarily net leased to tenants in various industries.

The Company believes that it continues to be operated in a manner that enables it to qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Accordingly, the Company will not be subject to federal income tax, provided that distributions to its shareholders equal at least the amount of its REIT taxable income as defined under the Code. The Company is permitted to participate in certain activities from which it was previously precluded in order to maintain its qualification as a REIT, so long as these activities are conducted in entities which elect to be treated as taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRS”) under the Code. As such, the TRS are subject to federal income taxes on the income from these activities.

The Company conducts its operations either directly or indirectly through (1) property owner subsidiaries, which are single-purpose entities, (2) an operating partnership, Lepercq Corporate Income Fund L.P. (“LCIF”), in which the Company is the sole unitholder of the general partner and the sole unitholder of the limited partner that holds a majority of the limited partner interests, (3) a wholly-owned TRS, and (4) investments in joint ventures. References to “OP units” refer to units of limited partner interests in LCIF. Property owner subsidiaries are landlords under leases for properties in which the Company has an interest and/or borrowers under loan agreements secured by properties in which the Company has an interest. Each property owner subsidiary is a separate and distinct legal entity that maintains separate books and records. The assets and credit of each property owner subsidiary with a property subject to a mortgage loan are not available to creditors to satisfy the debt and other obligations of any other person, including any other property owner subsidiary or any other affiliate. Consolidated entities that are not property owner subsidiaries do not directly own any of the assets of a property owner subsidiary (or the general partner, member or managing member of such property owner subsidiary), but merely hold partnership, membership or beneficial interests therein, which interests are subordinate to the claims of such property owner subsidiary's (or its general partner's, member's or managing member's) creditors.

The financial statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Quarterly Report”) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 have been prepared by the Company in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. However, in the opinion of management, the interim financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the results of the periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 filed with the SEC on March 13, 2019 (“Annual Report”).

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation. The Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with GAAP. The financial statements reflect the accounts of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries. The Company consolidates the wholly-owned subsidiaries, partnerships and joint ventures which it controls (i) through voting rights or similar rights or (ii) by means other than voting rights if the Company is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity ("VIE"). Entities which the Company does not control and entities which are VIEs in which the Company is not a primary beneficiary are accounted for under appropriate GAAP.

The Company is the primary beneficiary of certain VIEs as it has a controlling financial interest in these entities. LCIF, which is consolidated and in which the Company has an approximate 96% interest, is a VIE.

The assets of each VIE are only available to satisfy such VIE's respective liabilities. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the VIEs' mortgages and notes payable were non-recourse to the Company. Below is a summary of selected financial data of consolidated VIEs for which the Company is the primary beneficiary included in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018:

	June 30, 2019		December 31, 2018
Real estate, net	$	474,667	$	509,916
Total assets	$	671,826	$	607,963
Mortgages and notes payable, net	$	83,117	$	192,791
Total liabilities	$	205,201	$	203,322

In addition, the Company acquires, from time to time, properties using a reverse like-kind exchange structure pursuant to Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code (a "reverse 1031 exchange") and, as such, the properties are in the possession of an Exchange Accommodation Titleholder ("EAT") until the reverse 1031 exchange is completed. The EAT is classified as a VIE as it is a “thinly capitalized” entity. The Company consolidates the EAT because it is the primary beneficiary as it has the ability to control the activities that most significantly impact the EAT's economic performance and can collapse the 1031 exchange structure at any time. The assets of the EAT primarily consist of leased property (net real estate and intangibles).

Use of Estimates. Management has made a number of significant estimates and assumptions to prepare these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP, including, among others, those relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are based on management's best estimates and judgment. Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors. Management adjusts such estimates when facts and circumstances dictate. The most significant estimates made include the recoverability of accounts receivable, the allocation of property purchase price to tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, the determination of VIEs and which entities should be consolidated, the determination of impairment of long-lived assets, loans receivable and equity method investments, the valuation of derivative financial instruments, the valuation of compensation plans and the useful lives of long-lived assets. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Fair Value Measurements. The Company follows the guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, as amended (“Topic 820”), to determine the fair value of financial and non-financial instruments. Topic 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into three levels: Level 1 - quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities; Level 2 - observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted in active markets, but corroborated by market data; and Level 3 - unobservable inputs, which are used when little or no market data is available. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs and the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs. In determining fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible, as well as considering counterparty credit risk. The Company has formally elected to apply the portfolio exception within Topic 820 with respect to measuring counterparty risk for all of its derivative transactions subject to master netting arrangements.

Reclassifications. Certain amounts included in the 2018 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2019 presentation.

New Accounting Standards Adopted in 2019. In June 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2018-07, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which aligns the measurement and classification guidance for share-based payments to nonemployees with the guidance for share-based payments to employees, with certain exceptions. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2019 on a prospective basis. The Company's adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on its financial statements.

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities, which amends the hedge accounting recognition and presentation requirements in Topic 815. The ASU is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2019 on a prospective basis. The Company's adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on its financial statements.

Additionally, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) effective January 1, 2019. Topic 842 requires lessees to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for those leases previously classified as operating leases. The Company adopted Topic 842 using the modified retrospective transition approach with January 1, 2019 as the Company's date of initial application, thus periods prior to January 1, 2019 conform to ASC Topic 840. The Company has elected other practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance including:

• a package of practical expedients that allows the Company to carryforward its assessment of whether a contract is or contains a lease, whether costs incurred qualify as initial direct costs, and historical lease classification for any leases that existed prior to the adoption;

• to account for lease and non-lease components as a single component if the (i) timing and patterns of transfer are the same for the lease and non-lease component and (ii) related lease component and the combined single lease component would be classified as an operating lease;

• to exclude from the consideration in the contract and variable lease payments not included in the consideration in the contract all taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific lease revenue-producing transaction and collected by the lessor from the lessee. Taxes assessed on the Company’s total gross receipts are excluded from this accounting policy election;

• to not assess if existing land easements in place prior to adoption meet the definition of a lease; and

• not recognizing leases with a term of 12 months or less on the balance sheet.

The Company did not elect the hindsight practical expedient to determine lease term. The adoption of this guidance required the Company to record right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. The Company did not recognize a cumulative adjustment to equity upon adoption. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations and unaudited condensed consolidated statement of cash flows. See note 9, “Lease Accounting” for further disclosures.

Recently Issued Accounting Guidance. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which requires that entities use a new forward-looking “expected loss” model that generally will result in the earlier recognition of allowance for credit losses. The measurement of expected credit losses is based upon historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. ASU No. 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is continuing to assess this guidance and does not expect the adoption of ASU No. 2016-13 to have a material impact on its financial statements.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

Earnings Per Share

Earnings Per Share

A portion of the Company's non-vested share-based payment awards are considered participating securities and as such, the Company is required to use the two-class method for the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share. Under the two-class computation method, net losses are not allocated to participating securities unless the holder of the security has a contractual obligation to share in the losses. The non-vested share-based payment awards are not allocated losses as the awards do not have a contractual obligation to share in losses of the Company.

The following is a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted earnings per share computations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018:

Dispositions and Impairment

Dispositions and Impairment

During the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company disposed of its interests in various properties for an aggregate gross disposition price of $120,328 and $128,324, respectively, and recognized aggregate gains on sales of properties of $36,201 and $37,206, respectively.

As of June 30, 2019, the Company had seven properties classified as held for sale. As of December 31, 2018, the Company had two properties classified as held for sale. The properties were classified as held for sale because the properties were either under contract for sale and/or a sale of the property to a third party within the next 12 months was deemed probable.

Assets and liabilities of held for sale properties as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 consisted of the following:

	June 30, 2019			December 31, 2018
Assets:
Real estate, at cost	$	204,289		$	63,639
Real estate, intangible assets	34,545			14,498
Accumulated depreciation and amortization	(61,977		)	(16,873		)

Accounts payable and other liabilities	1,205			42
Prepaid rent	1,023			344
	$	111,755		$	386

The Company assesses on a regular basis whether there are any indicators that the carrying value of its real estate assets may be impaired. Potential indicators may include an increase in vacancy at a property, tenant financial instability, change in the estimated holding period of the asset and the potential sale or transfer of the property in the near future. An asset is determined to be impaired if the asset's carrying value is in excess of its estimated fair value and the Company estimates that its cost will not be recovered. During the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company recognized aggregate impairment charges on real estate properties of $1,682 and $88,318, respectively. Included in the impairment charges recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2019 are impairment charges of $1,433 and $249 recognized on unencumbered and vacant retail properties in Watertown, New York and Albany, Georgia, respectively, which were held for sale at June 30, 2019. Included in the impairment charges recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2018, are impairment charges of $17,906 recognized on a vacant encumbered office property in Overland Park, Kansas, whose mortgage is currently in default, $5,591 recognized on an office property in Kansas City, Missouri, and $25,585 recognized on an unencumbered office property in Memphis, Tennessee, which was sold in December 2018.

Fair Value, Assets and Liabilities Measured on Recurring and Nonrecurring Basis [Abstract]

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Measurements

The following tables present the Company's assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring and non-recurring basis as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, aggregated by the level in the fair value hierarchy within which those measurements fall:

		Balance		Fair Value Measurements Using
Description		June 30, 2019		(Level 1)		(Level 2)		(Level 3)
Impaired properties held for sale	(1)	$	2,700	$	—	$	1,500	$	1,200

		Balance		Fair Value Measurements Using
Description		December 31, 2018		(Level 1)		(Level 2)		(Level 3)
Interest rate swap assets	(2)	$	76	$	—	$	76	$	—
Impaired real estate assets	(3)	$	35,036	$	—	$	—	$	35,036

(1) Represents a non-recurring fair value measurement. Fair value as of the date of the impairment was determined by the signed purchase agreement for the property located in Albany, GA and an internal valuation of fair value prepared for the property located in Watertown, NY.

(2) The interest rate swap assets related to the Company's $300,000 term loan expired in January 2019.

(3) Represents a non-recurring fair value measurement as of the date of impairment.

The majority of the inputs used to value the Company's interest rate swaps fell within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, such as observable market interest rate curves; however, the credit valuation associated with the interest rate swaps utilized Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by the Company and its counterparties. As of December 31, 2018, the Company determined that the credit valuation adjustment relative to the overall fair value of the interest rate swaps was not significant. As a result, the interest rate swaps were classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The Company estimates the fair value of its real estate assets, including non-consolidated real estate assets, by using income and market valuation techniques. The Company may estimate fair values using market information such as recent sale contracts (Level 2 inputs) or recent sale offers or discounted cash flow models, which primarily rely on Level 3 inputs. The cash flow models include estimated cash inflows and outflows over a specified holding period. These cash flows may include contractual rental revenues, projected future rental revenues and expenses and forecasted tenant improvements and lease commissions based upon market conditions determined through discussion with local real estate professionals, experience the Company has with its other owned properties in such markets and expectations for growth. Capitalization rates and discount rates utilized in these models are estimated by management based upon rates that management believes to be within a reasonable range of current market rates for the respective properties based upon an analysis of factors such as property and tenant quality, geographical location and local supply and demand observations. To the extent the Company under estimates forecasted cash outflows (tenant improvements, lease commissions and operating costs) or over estimates forecasted cash inflows (rental revenue rates), the estimated fair value of its real estate assets could be overstated.

The table below sets forth the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, excluding held for sale assets.

	As of June 30, 2019				As of December 31, 2018
	Carrying Amount		Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Fair Value
Liabilities
Debt	$	1,410,106	$	1,362,438	$	1,492,483	$	1,409,773

The fair value of the Company's debt is primarily estimated utilizing Level 3 inputs by using a discounted cash flow analysis, based upon estimates of market interest rates, except for the Company's senior notes payable. The Company determines the fair value of its senior notes payable using market prices. The inputs used in determining the fair value of these notes are categorized as Level 1 due to the fact that the Company uses quoted market rates to value these instruments. However, the inputs used in determining the fair value could be categorized as Level 2 if trading volumes are low.

Fair values cannot be determined with precision, may not be substantiated by comparison to quoted prices in active markets and may not be realized upon sale. Additionally, there are inherent uncertainties in any fair value measurement technique, and changes in the underlying assumptions used, including discount rates, liquidity risks and estimates of future cash flows, could significantly affect the fair value measurement amounts.

Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash, Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable. The Company estimates that the fair value of cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximates carrying value due to the relatively short maturity of the instruments.

Derivatives and Hedging Activities

Derivatives and Hedging Activities

Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives. The Company is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. The Company principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of its core business activities. The Company manages economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity, and credit risk primarily by managing the type, amount, sources, and duration of its debt funding and the use of derivative financial instruments. Specifically, the Company enters into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the receipt or payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the value of which is determined by interest rates. The Company's derivative financial instruments are used to manage differences in the amount, timing, and duration of the Company's known or expected cash receipts and its known or expected cash payments principally related to the Company's investments and borrowings.

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk. The Company's objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense, to manage its exposure to interest rate movements and therefore manage its cash outflows as it relates to the underlying debt instruments. To accomplish these objectives, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy relating to certain of its variable-rate debt instruments. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount.

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivatives is recognized directly in earnings. The Company did not incur any ineffectiveness during the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018.

As of June 30, 2019, the Company does not have any interest rate swap agreements related to its outstanding variable rate debt. The LIBOR swap rate on $255,000 of LIBOR-indexed variable-rate unsecured term loans expired in January 2019. Accordingly, the fair value of the swap was reclassified from other comprehensive income and as of June 30, 2019, the Company had no outstanding interest rate derivatives that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk.

The table below presents the fair value of the Company's derivative financial instruments as well as their classification on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2018.

Leases [Abstract]

Lease Accounting

Lease Accounting

The following is a summary of the Company's accounting for leases as of and during the six-month period ended June 30, 2019:

Lessor

Lexington’s lease portfolio as a lessor primarily includes general purpose, single-tenant net-leased industrial and office real estate assets. Most of the Company’s leases require tenants to pay fixed annual rental payments that escalate on an annual basis and variable payments for other operating expenses, such as real estate taxes, insurance, common area maintenance ("CAM"), and utilities, that are based on the actual expenses incurred.

Certain leases allow for the tenant to renew the lease term upon expiration or earlier. Periods covered by a renewal option are included within the lease term only when renewals are deemed to be reasonably certain. Certain leases allow for the tenant to terminate the lease before the expiration of lease term and certain leases provide the tenant with the right to purchase the leased property at fair market value or a stipulated price upon expiration of the lease term or before.

Accounting guidance under Topic 842 requires the Company to make certain assumptions and judgments in applying the guidance, including determining whether an arrangement includes a lease and determining the lease term when the contract has renewal, purchase or early termination provisions.

From a lessor perspective, the Company concluded that revenue from lease components are primarily recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term unless another systematic and rational basis is more representative of the time pattern in which the use benefit is derived from the leased property. Revenue is recognized on a contractual basis for leases with escalations tied to a Consumer Price Index (CPI) with no floor. If the Company funds tenant improvements and the improvements are deemed to be owned by the Company, revenue recognition commences when the improvements are substantially complete and control of the space is turned over to the tenant. If the Company determines that the tenant allowances are lease incentives, the Company commences revenue recognition when possession or control of the space is turned over to the tenant for tenant work to begin. The lease incentive is recorded as a deferred expense and amortized as a reduction of revenue on a straight-line basis over the respective lease term. The Company recognizes lease termination fees as rental revenue in the period received and writes off unamortized lease-related intangible and other lease-related account balances, provided there are no further Company obligations under the lease. Otherwise, such fees and balances are recognized on a straight-line basis over the remaining obligation period with the termination payments being recorded as a component of rent receivable-deferred on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The Company analyzes its accounts receivable, customer creditworthiness and current economic trends when evaluating the adequacy of the collectability of the lessee's total accounts receivable balance on a lease by lease basis. In addition, tenants in bankruptcy are analyzed and considerations are made in connection with the expected pre-petition and post-petition claims. If a lessee's accounts receivable balance is considered uncollectable, the Company will write-off the receivable balances associated with the lease to rental revenue and cease to recognize lease income, including straight-line rent, unless cash is received. If the Company subsequently determines that it is probable it will collect substantially all of the lessee's remaining lease payments under the lease term; the Company will reinstate the straight-line balance adjusting for the amount related to the period when the lease payments were considered not probable. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, rental revenue was reduced by $307 for accounts receivable deemed uncollectable primarily related to the tenant in Thompson, GA filing for bankruptcy.

The Company determined that the lease and non-lease components in its leases are a single lease component and is, therefore, being recognized as rental revenue in its unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. The primary non-lease service that is included within rental revenue is CAM services provided as part of the Company’s real estate leases. Topic 842 requires that the Company capitalize, as initial direct costs, only those costs that are incurred due to the execution of a lease. As of June 30, 2019, the Company incurred $161 of costs that were not incremental to the execution of leases, which are included in property operating expenses on its unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The Company manages the risk associated with the residual value of its leased properties by including contract clauses that make tenants responsible for surrendering the space in good condition upon lease termination, holding a diversified portfolio, and other activities. The Company does not have residual value guarantees on specific properties.

The following table presents the Company’s classification of rental revenue for its operating leases for the six months ended June 30, 2019:

Classification	Fixed		Variable(1)		Total
Rental revenue	$	145,412	$	13,321	$	158,733

(1) Primarily comprised of tenant reimbursements.

Future fixed rental receipts for leases, assuming no new or re-negotiated leases as of June 30, 2019 are as follows:

2019 - remainder	$	141,556
2020	274,827

2023	239,912
2024	210,944
Thereafter	1,534,665
Total	$	2,905,061

Minimum future lease payments under the non-cancellable portion of tenant leases, assuming no new or re-negotiated leases, for the next five years and thereafter in accordance with ASC Topic 840 as of December 31, 2018 were as follows:

Year ending December 31,	Total
2019	$	270,557
2020	253,660

2022	212,893
2023	211,387
Thereafter	1,619,848
	$	2,801,537

Lessee

The Company has ground leases, corporate leases for office space, and office equipment leases. All leases were classified as operating leases as of June 30, 2019. The leases have remaining lease terms of up to 44 years, some of which include options to extend the leases in 5 to 10-year increments for up to 54 years. Renewal periods are included in the lease term only when renewal is deemed to be reasonably certain. The lease term also includes periods covered by an option to terminate the lease if the Company is reasonably certain not to exercise the termination option. The Company measures its lease payments by including fixed rental payments and variable rental payments that tie to an index or a rate, such as CPI. Minimum lease payments for leases that commenced before the date of adoption of ASC 842 were determined based on previous leases guidance under ASC 840. The Company recognizes lease expense for its operating leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term and variable lease expense not included in the lease payment measurement as incurred.

The accounting guidance under Topic 842 requires the Company to make certain assumptions and judgments in applying the guidance, including determining whether an arrangement includes a lease, determining the term of a lease when the contract has renewal or termination provisions and determining the discount rate.

The Company determines whether an arrangement is or includes a lease at contract inception by evaluating whether the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. If the Company has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from and can direct the use of, the identified asset for a period of time, the Company accounts for the contract as a lease.

As the Company does not know the rate implicit in the respective leases, the Company used its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the transition date for such existing leases. The Company uses the information available at the lease commencement date to determine the discount rate for any new leases. The Company used a portfolio approach to determine its incremental borrowing rate. Lease contracts were grouped based on similar lease terms and economic environments in a manner in which the Company reasonably expects that the outcome from applying a portfolio approach does not differ materially from an individual lease approach. The Company estimated a collateralized discount rate for each portfolio of leases.

Supplemental information related to operating leases is as follows:

Weighted-average remaining lease term
Operating leases (years)	12.6
Weighted-average discount rate
Operating leases	4.1	%

The components of lease expense for the six months ended June 30, 2019 are as follows:

The Company recognized sublease income of $1,882 for the six months ended June 30, 2019.

The following table shows the Company's maturity analysis of its operating lease liabilities as of June 30, 2019:

Risks and Uncertainties [Abstract]

Concentration of Risk

Concentration of Risk

The Company seeks to reduce its operating and leasing risks through the geographic diversification of its properties, tenant industry diversification, avoidance of dependency on a single asset and the creditworthiness of its tenants. For the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, no single tenant represented greater than 10% of rental revenues.

Cash and cash equivalent balances at certain institutions may exceed insurable amounts. The Company believes it mitigates this risk by investing in or through major financial institutions.

Shareholders' Equity. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company updated its At-The-Market offering program under which the Company may currently issue up to $100,000 in common shares over the term of the program. The Company did not issue common shares under its At-The-Market offering program during the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018.

In addition, during the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company issued 41,186 and 46,561, respectively, fully vested common shares to non-management members of the Company's Board of Trustees with a fair value of $345 and $431, respectively.

In July 2015, the Company's Board of Trustees authorized the repurchase of up to 10,000,000 common shares and, in 2018, increased this authorization by 10,000,000 common shares. This share repurchase program has no expiration date. During the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company repurchased and retired 441,581 and 925,775 common shares, respectively, at an average price of $8.13 and $7.93, respectively, per common share under the share repurchase program. The Company records a liability for repurchases that have not yet been settled as of period end. There were no unsettled repurchases as of June 30, 2019.

A summary of the changes in accumulated other comprehensive income related to the Company's cash flow hedges is as follows:

Balance at end of period	$	—		$	1,098

Noncontrolling Interests. In conjunction with several of the Company's acquisitions in prior years, sellers were issued OP units as a form of consideration. All OP units, other than OP units owned by the Company, are redeemable for common shares at certain times, at the option of the holders, and are generally not otherwise mandatorily redeemable by the Company. The OP units are classified as a component of permanent equity as the Company has determined that the OP units are not redeemable securities as defined by GAAP. Each OP unit is currently redeemable at the holder's option for approximately 1.13 common shares, subject to future adjustments.

As of June 30, 2019, there were approximately 3,138,000 OP units outstanding other than OP units owned by the Company. All OP units receive distributions in accordance with the LCIF partnership agreement. To the extent that the Company's dividend per common share is less than the stated distribution per OP unit per the LCIF partnership agreement, the distributions per OP unit are reduced by the percentage reduction in the Company's dividend per common share. No OP units have a liquidation preference.

The following discloses the effects of changes in the Company's ownership interests in its noncontrolling interests:

Commitments and Contingencies

In addition to the commitments and contingencies disclosed elsewhere and previously disclosed, the Company has the following commitments and contingencies.

The Company is obligated under certain tenant leases, including its proportionate share for leases for non-consolidated entities, to fund the expansion of the underlying leased properties. The Company, under certain circumstances, may guarantee to tenants the completion of base building improvements and the payment of tenant improvement allowances and lease commissions on behalf of its subsidiaries.

The Company and LCIF are parties to a funding agreement under which the Company may be required to fund distributions made on account of LCIF's OP units. Pursuant to the funding agreement, the parties agreed that, if LCIF does not have sufficient cash available to make a quarterly distribution to its limited partners in an amount in accordance with the partnership agreement, Lexington will fund the shortfall. Payments under the agreement will be made in the form of loans to LCIF and will bear interest at prevailing rates as determined by the Company in its discretion, but no less than the applicable federal rate. LCIF's right to receive these loans will expire if no OP units remain outstanding and all such loans are repaid. No amounts have been advanced under this agreement.

From time to time, the Company is directly and indirectly involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. Management believes, based on currently available information, and after consultation with legal counsel, that although the outcomes of those normal course proceedings are uncertain, the results of such proceedings, in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations, except for the following:

Cummins Inc. v. Lexington Columbus (Jackson Street) L.P. and Wells Fargo Trust Company, N.A. (State of Indiana, County of Bartholomew, in the Bartholomew Superior Court). On October 25, 2018, Cummins Inc., the tenant in the Columbus, Indiana office building, filed a complaint for declaratory relief against Lexington Columbus (Jackson Street) L.P. (“Lex Columbus”), the Company's property owner subsidiary, and Wells Fargo Trust Company, N.A., the trustee for the noteholders with a security interest in the office building. Under the subject lease, Cummins Inc.’s tenancy extends through July 31, 2024, with options to further extend for additional time periods. Despite failing to timely provide notice of intent to exercise a purchase option for the office building that was expressly due by July 15, 2018, where time was of the essence, Cummins Inc. has asked the court for a declaration that it is entitled to purchase the building at the option price and to terminate the lease effective July 31, 2019. Cummins Inc. does not dispute that it failed to comply with the requirements of the purchase option, but alleges that it is entitled to relief under several equitable theories. Lex Columbus filed a motion to dismiss the complaint on January 8, 2019, which was denied on May 24, 2019.  Lex Columbus filed a Motion to Certify for Interlocutory Appeal the order denying  Lex Columbus's Motion to Dismiss, which was granted on June 17, 2019 together with a stay order until the completion of any subsequent appellate proceedings. On June 24, 2019, Cummins  Inc. filed a motion to reconsider the Court's June 17, 2019 orders, which the Court granted the same day, thereby vacating its June 17, 2019 orders. Lex Columbus filed a motion for the Court to reconsider its June 24, 2019 order on June 27, 2019. Following a hearing on July 26, 2019, the Court denied Lex Columbus's motion to reconsider and granted a motion by Cummins Inc. to deposit future rent due under the lease into a Court administered account. Cummins Inc. filed a motion to authorize depositing of the purchase price under the unexercised option to purchase into a special court administered account on July 31, 2019. Lex Columbus intends to file an answer, affirmative and other defenses and a counterclaim for damages and declaratory relief and jury demand on August 7, 2019. Discovery is ongoing. The Company believes that Indiana law supports Lex Columbus's right to enforce strict compliance with the terms of the option to purchase under the lease and retain ownership of the building and the Company intends to vigorously defend this claim.

The Company and Financial Statement Presentation (Policies)

6 Months Ended

Jun. 30, 2019

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Basis of presentation and consolidation

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation. The Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with GAAP. The financial statements reflect the accounts of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries.

Variable interest entity

The Company consolidates the wholly-owned subsidiaries, partnerships and joint ventures which it controls (i) through voting rights or similar rights or (ii) by means other than voting rights if the Company is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity ("VIE"). Entities which the Company does not control and entities which are VIEs in which the Company is not a primary beneficiary are accounted for under appropriate GAAP.

Use of estimates

Use of Estimates. Management has made a number of significant estimates and assumptions to prepare these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP, including, among others, those relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are based on management's best estimates and judgment. Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors. Management adjusts such estimates when facts and circumstances dictate. The most significant estimates made include the recoverability of accounts receivable, the allocation of property purchase price to tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, the determination of VIEs and which entities should be consolidated, the determination of impairment of long-lived assets, loans receivable and equity method investments, the valuation of derivative financial instruments, the valuation of compensation plans and the useful lives of long-lived assets. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Fair value measurements

Fair Value Measurements. The Company follows the guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, as amended (“Topic 820”), to determine the fair value of financial and non-financial instruments. Topic 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into three levels: Level 1 - quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities; Level 2 - observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted in active markets, but corroborated by market data; and Level 3 - unobservable inputs, which are used when little or no market data is available. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs and the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs. In determining fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible, as well as considering counterparty credit risk. The Company has formally elected to apply the portfolio exception within Topic 820 with respect to measuring counterparty risk for all of its derivative transactions subject to master netting arrangements.

Reclassifications

Reclassifications. Certain amounts included in the 2018 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2019 presentation.

Recently issued accounting guidance

New Accounting Standards Adopted in 2019. In June 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2018-07, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which aligns the measurement and classification guidance for share-based payments to nonemployees with the guidance for share-based payments to employees, with certain exceptions. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2019 on a prospective basis. The Company's adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on its financial statements.

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities, which amends the hedge accounting recognition and presentation requirements in Topic 815. The ASU is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2019 on a prospective basis. The Company's adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on its financial statements.

Additionally, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) effective January 1, 2019. Topic 842 requires lessees to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for those leases previously classified as operating leases. The Company adopted Topic 842 using the modified retrospective transition approach with January 1, 2019 as the Company's date of initial application, thus periods prior to January 1, 2019 conform to ASC Topic 840. The Company has elected other practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance including:

• a package of practical expedients that allows the Company to carryforward its assessment of whether a contract is or contains a lease, whether costs incurred qualify as initial direct costs, and historical lease classification for any leases that existed prior to the adoption;

• to account for lease and non-lease components as a single component if the (i) timing and patterns of transfer are the same for the lease and non-lease component and (ii) related lease component and the combined single lease component would be classified as an operating lease;

• to exclude from the consideration in the contract and variable lease payments not included in the consideration in the contract all taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific lease revenue-producing transaction and collected by the lessor from the lessee. Taxes assessed on the Company’s total gross receipts are excluded from this accounting policy election;

• to not assess if existing land easements in place prior to adoption meet the definition of a lease; and

• not recognizing leases with a term of 12 months or less on the balance sheet.

The Company did not elect the hindsight practical expedient to determine lease term. The adoption of this guidance required the Company to record right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. The Company did not recognize a cumulative adjustment to equity upon adoption. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations and unaudited condensed consolidated statement of cash flows. See note 9, “Lease Accounting” for further disclosures.

Recently Issued Accounting Guidance. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which requires that entities use a new forward-looking “expected loss” model that generally will result in the earlier recognition of allowance for credit losses. The measurement of expected credit losses is based upon historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. ASU No. 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is continuing to assess this guidance and does not expect the adoption of ASU No. 2016-13 to have a material impact on its financial statements.

Lessor

Lexington’s lease portfolio as a lessor primarily includes general purpose, single-tenant net-leased industrial and office real estate assets. Most of the Company’s leases require tenants to pay fixed annual rental payments that escalate on an annual basis and variable payments for other operating expenses, such as real estate taxes, insurance, common area maintenance ("CAM"), and utilities, that are based on the actual expenses incurred.

Certain leases allow for the tenant to renew the lease term upon expiration or earlier. Periods covered by a renewal option are included within the lease term only when renewals are deemed to be reasonably certain. Certain leases allow for the tenant to terminate the lease before the expiration of lease term and certain leases provide the tenant with the right to purchase the leased property at fair market value or a stipulated price upon expiration of the lease term or before.

Accounting guidance under Topic 842 requires the Company to make certain assumptions and judgments in applying the guidance, including determining whether an arrangement includes a lease and determining the lease term when the contract has renewal, purchase or early termination provisions.

From a lessor perspective, the Company concluded that revenue from lease components are primarily recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term unless another systematic and rational basis is more representative of the time pattern in which the use benefit is derived from the leased property. Revenue is recognized on a contractual basis for leases with escalations tied to a Consumer Price Index (CPI) with no floor. If the Company funds tenant improvements and the improvements are deemed to be owned by the Company, revenue recognition commences when the improvements are substantially complete and control of the space is turned over to the tenant. If the Company determines that the tenant allowances are lease incentives, the Company commences revenue recognition when possession or control of the space is turned over to the tenant for tenant work to begin. The lease incentive is recorded as a deferred expense and amortized as a reduction of revenue on a straight-line basis over the respective lease term. The Company recognizes lease termination fees as rental revenue in the period received and writes off unamortized lease-related intangible and other lease-related account balances, provided there are no further Company obligations under the lease. Otherwise, such fees and balances are recognized on a straight-line basis over the remaining obligation period with the termination payments being recorded as a component of rent receivable-deferred on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The Company analyzes its accounts receivable, customer creditworthiness and current economic trends when evaluating the adequacy of the collectability of the lessee's total accounts receivable balance on a lease by lease basis. In addition, tenants in bankruptcy are analyzed and considerations are made in connection with the expected pre-petition and post-petition claims. If a lessee's accounts receivable balance is considered uncollectable, the Company will write-off the receivable balances associated with the lease to rental revenue and cease to recognize lease income, including straight-line rent, unless cash is received. If the Company subsequently determines that it is probable it will collect substantially all of the lessee's remaining lease payments under the lease term; the Company will reinstate the straight-line balance adjusting for the amount related to the period when the lease payments were considered not probable. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, rental revenue was reduced by $307 for accounts receivable deemed uncollectable primarily related to the tenant in Thompson, GA filing for bankruptcy.

The Company determined that the lease and non-lease components in its leases are a single lease component and is, therefore, being recognized as rental revenue in its unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. The primary non-lease service that is included within rental revenue is CAM services provided as part of the Company’s real estate leases. Topic 842 requires that the Company capitalize, as initial direct costs, only those costs that are incurred due to the execution of a lease. As of June 30, 2019, the Company incurred $161 of costs that were not incremental to the execution of leases, which are included in property operating expenses on its unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The Company manages the risk associated with the residual value of its leased properties by including contract clauses that make tenants responsible for surrendering the space in good condition upon lease termination, holding a diversified portfolio, and other activities. The Company does not have residual value guarantees on specific properties.

The Company has ground leases, corporate leases for office space, and office equipment leases. All leases were classified as operating leases as of June 30, 2019. The leases have remaining lease terms of up to 44 years, some of which include options to extend the leases in 5 to 10-year increments for up to 54 years. Renewal periods are included in the lease term only when renewal is deemed to be reasonably certain. The lease term also includes periods covered by an option to terminate the lease if the Company is reasonably certain not to exercise the termination option. The Company measures its lease payments by including fixed rental payments and variable rental payments that tie to an index or a rate, such as CPI. Minimum lease payments for leases that commenced before the date of adoption of ASC 842 were determined based on previous leases guidance under ASC 840. The Company recognizes lease expense for its operating leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term and variable lease expense not included in the lease payment measurement as incurred.

The accounting guidance under Topic 842 requires the Company to make certain assumptions and judgments in applying the guidance, including determining whether an arrangement includes a lease, determining the term of a lease when the contract has renewal or termination provisions and determining the discount rate.

The Company determines whether an arrangement is or includes a lease at contract inception by evaluating whether the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. If the Company has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from and can direct the use of, the identified asset for a period of time, the Company accounts for the contract as a lease.

As the Company does not know the rate implicit in the respective leases, the Company used its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the transition date for such existing leases. The Company uses the information available at the lease commencement date to determine the discount rate for any new leases. The Company used a portfolio approach to determine its incremental borrowing rate. Lease contracts were grouped based on similar lease terms and economic environments in a manner in which the Company reasonably expects that the outcome from applying a portfolio approach does not differ materially from an individual lease approach. The Company estimated a collateralized discount rate for each portfolio of leases.
