EXPLANATORY NOTE

This report combines the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2014 of Liberty Property Trust and Liberty Property Limited Partnership. Unless stated otherwise or the context otherwise requires, references to the “Trust” mean Liberty Property Trust and its consolidated subsidiaries, and references to the “Operating Partnership” mean Liberty Property Limited Partnership and its consolidated subsidiaries. The terms the “Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” mean the Trust and the Operating Partnership, collectively.

The Trust is a self-administered and self-managed Maryland real estate investment trust (“REIT”). Substantially all of the Trust's assets are owned directly or indirectly, and substantially all of the Trust's operations are conducted directly or indirectly, by its subsidiary, the Operating Partnership, a Pennsylvania limited partnership.

The Trust is the sole general partner and also a limited partner of the Operating Partnership, owning 97.7% of the common equity of the Operating Partnership at June 30, 2014. The common units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership (the “Common Units”), other than those owned by the Trust, are exchangeable on a one-for-one basis (subject to anti-dilution protections) for the Trust's common shares of beneficial interest, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Shares”). The Company had issued several series of cumulative redeemable preferred units of the Operating Partnership (the “Preferred Units”). The outstanding Preferred Units of each series were exchangeable on a one-for-one basis after stated dates into a corresponding series of cumulative redeemable preferred shares of the Trust except for the Series I-2 Preferred Units, which are not convertible or exchangeable into any other securities. The Preferred Units, except for the Series I-2 Preferred Units, were redeemed during 2013. The ownership of the holders of Common and Preferred Units is reflected in the Trust's financial statements as “noncontrolling interest-operating partnership” both in mezzanine equity and as a component of total equity. The ownership of the holders of Common and Preferred Units not owned by the Trust is reflected in the Operating Partnership's financial statements as “limited partners' equity” both in mezzanine equity and as a component of total owners' equity.

The financial results of the Operating Partnership are consolidated into the financial statements of the Trust. The Trust has no significant assets other than its investment in the Operating Partnership. The Trust and the Operating Partnership are managed and operated as one entity. The Trust and the Operating Partnership have the same managers.

The Trust's sole business purpose is to act as the general partner of the Operating Partnership. Net proceeds from equity issuances by the Trust are contributed to the Operating Partnership in exchange for partnership units. The Trust itself does not issue any indebtedness, but guarantees certain of the unsecured debt of the Operating Partnership.

We believe combining the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q of the Trust and the Operating Partnership into this single report results in the following benefits:


•	enhances investors' understanding of the Trust and the Operating Partnership by enabling investors to view the business as a whole in the same manner as management views and operates the business;


•	eliminates duplicative disclosure and provides a more streamlined and readable presentation since a substantial portion of the Company's disclosure applies to both the Trust and the Operating Partnership; and


•	creates time and cost efficiencies through the preparation of one combined report instead of two separate reports.

To help investors understand the significant differences between the Trust and the Operating Partnership, this report presents the following separate sections for each of the Trust and the Operating Partnership:


•	consolidated financial statements;


•	the following notes to the consolidated financial statements;


◦	Income per Common Share of the Trust and Income per Common Unit of the Operating Partnership;


◦	Noncontrolling Interests of the Trust and Limited Partners' Equity and Noncontrolling Interest of the Operating Partnership

This report also includes separate Item 4. Controls and Procedures sections and separate Exhibit 31 and 32 certifications for each of the Trust and the Operating Partnership in order to establish that the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of each entity have made the requisite certifications and that the Trust and Operating Partnership are compliant with Rule 13a-15 and Rule 15d-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Liberty Property Trust and Liberty Property Limited Partnership

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

June 30, 2014

Note 1: Organization and Basis of Presentation

Organization

Liberty Property Trust (the “Trust”) is a self-administered and self-managed Maryland real estate investment trust (a “REIT”). Substantially all of the Trust’s assets are owned directly or indirectly, and substantially all of the Trust’s operations are conducted directly or indirectly, by its subsidiary, Liberty Property Limited Partnership, a Pennsylvania limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership” and, together with the Trust and their consolidated subsidiaries, the “Company”). The Trust is the sole general partner and also a limited partner of the Operating Partnership, owning 97.7% of the common equity of the Operating Partnership at June 30, 2014. The Company provides leasing, property management, development, acquisition, and other tenant-related services. The Company owns and operates industrial properties nationally and owns and operates office properties primarily in Metro Philadelphia, Washington D.C. and certain sunbelt cities. Additionally, the Company owns certain assets in the United Kingdom. Unless otherwise indicated, the notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements apply to both the Trust and the Operating Partnership. The terms the “Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” mean the Trust and Operating Partnership collectively.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by US GAAP for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2013. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements for these interim periods have been included. The results of interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be obtained for a full fiscal year. Certain amounts from prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation including reclassifying the accompanying statements of comprehensive income for discontinued operations.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360), Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity ("ASU 2014-08"), which changes the requirements for reporting discontinued operations. Under ASU 2014-08, a disposal of a component of an entity or a group of components of an entity is required to be reported in discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity's operations and financial results when the component or group of components meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale or when the component or group of components is disposed of by sale or other than by sale. Generally, the sale of a real estate asset would not meet the discontinued operations criteria and would not be presented as such under ASU 2014-08. ASU 2014-08 also requires additional disclosures about both discontinued operations and the disposal of an individually significant component of an entity that does not qualify for discontinued operations presentation in the financial statements. The Company has adopted the provisions of ASU 2014-08 effective January 1, 2014, and has applied the provisions prospectively.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) ("ASU 2014-09"), which supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance. The standard clarifies the required factors that an entity must consider when recognizing revenue. The standard also requires additional disclosures concerning contracts with customers, judgments concerning revenue recognition, and assets recognized for the costs to obtain or fulfill a contract. ASU 2014-09 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2017. The Company is evaluating the impact ASU 2014-09 will have on its financial position and results of operations.

Note 6: Accounting for the Disposal of Long-Lived Assets

Under ASU 2014-08, a disposal of a component of an entity is required to be reported in discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity's operations and financial results.

In November 2013, the Company entered into an Agreement of Sale and Purchase pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell 97 operating properties containing an aggregate of 6.6 million square feet for $697.3 million (the "Portfolio Sale"). In December 2013, the Company closed on the first of two planned settlements under this agreement. The proceeds from the first settlement were $367.7 million and included 49 properties totaling approximately 4.0 million square feet of space and 140 acres of land. In January 2014, the Company closed on the remaining settlement for proceeds of $329.6 million which consisted of 23 properties totaling 1.4 million square feet and 19 acres of land in the Maryland reportable segment, 24 properties and 1.2 million square feet in the New Jersey reportable segment and one property totaling 37,000 square feet in the Company's Southeastern PA reportable segment.

The Portfolio Sale is considered a discontinued operation under the provisions of ASU 2014-08 as it represents a strategic shift that will have a major effect on the Company's operations and financial results.

Prior to the adoption of ASU 2014-08, the results of operations for all operating properties sold or held for sale during the reported periods were shown under discontinued operations on the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Under ASU 2014-08, operating properties that were sold or classified as held for sale before the adoption of ASU 2014-08 continue to be classified as discontinued operations. Accordingly, operating properties previously reported as discontinued operations will continue to be presented as discontinued operations on the consolidated statements of comprehensive income for all periods presented. The proceeds from the disposition of properties excluding the Portfolio Sale that were included in discontinued operations were zero for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and were $51.4 million and $126.0 million for the same periods in 2013.

Note 10: Indebtedness

Credit Facility

In March 2014, the Company replaced its existing $500 million credit facility which was due in November 2015 with a new credit facility. The new facility (the "Credit Facility") is for $800 million. It matures in March 2018 and the Company has options to extend the maturity date for up to one additional year. Based upon the Company’s current credit ratings, borrowings under the new facility bear interest at LIBOR plus 105 basis points. There is also a 20 basis point annual facility fee on the current borrowing capacity. The credit facility contains a competitive bid option, whereby participating lenders bid on the interest rate to be charged. This feature is available for up to 50% of the amount of the facility.

The Credit Facility contains financial covenants, certain of which are set forth below:


•	total debt to total assets may not exceed 0.60:1;


•	earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization to fixed charges may not be less than 1.50:1;


•	unsecured debt to unencumbered asset value must equal or be less than 60%; and


•	unencumbered net operating income to unsecured interest expense must equal or exceed 175%.

As of June 30, 2014, the Company was in compliance with the Credit Facility financial covenants.

Note 11: Disclosure of Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The following disclosure of estimated fair value was determined by management using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data and develop estimated fair value. Accordingly, the following estimates are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could have realized on disposition of the financial instruments at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

Table of Contents

The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued interest, dividend and distributions payable and other liabilities are reasonable estimates of fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

The Company used a discounted cash flow model to determine the estimated fair value of its debt as of June 30, 2014. This is a Level 3 fair value calculation. The inputs used in preparing the discounted cash flow model include actual maturity dates and scheduled cash flows as well as estimates for market value discount rates. The Company updates the discounted cash flow model on a quarterly basis to reflect any changes in the Company's debt holdings and changes to discount rate assumptions.

The following summarizes the fair value of the Company's mortgage loans and unsecured notes as of December 31, 2013 and June 30, 2014 (in thousands):



	Mortgage Loans				Unsecured Notes
	Carrying Value		Fair Value		Carrying Value		Fair Value
As of December 31, 2013	$	545,306	$	573,944	$	2,708,213	$	2,764,831

Note 12: Investment in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures

Comcast Innovation & Technology Center

On June 30, 2014, the Company entered into two joint ventures for the purpose of developing and owning the Comcast Innovation & Technology Center (the "Project") located on the 1800 block of Arch Street in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania as part of a trophy-class mixed-use development. The 59-story building will include 1.334 million square feet of rentable office space (the "Office") and a 222-room Four Seasons Hotel (the "Hotel"). The Project is expected to be completed during the first quarter of 2018. Project costs for the development of the Project, exclusive of tenant-funded interior improvements, are anticipated to be approximately $933 million, of which $40 million represents public assistance in the form of grants from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the City of Philadelphia for funding of infrastructure improvements and public spaces. The Company's investment in the project is expected to be approximately $185 million with 20% ownership in both joint ventures. As of June 30, 2014, the Company's investment in these joint ventures was $14.2 million. This investment is reflected in investments in and advances to unconsolidated joint ventures in the Company's consolidated balance sheet.

The two joint ventures have engaged the Company as the developer of the Project pursuant to a Development Agreement by which the Company agrees, in consideration for a development fee, to be responsible for all aspects of the development of the Project and to guarantee the timely lien-free completion of construction of the Project and the payment, subject to certain exceptions, of any cost overruns incurred in the development of the Project.

Comcast Corporation has signed a 20-year lease for 982,275 square feet, or approximately 74% of the office space in the Office. The Company will manage and lease the Office and Four Seasons Hotels Limited will manage the Hotel.

Liberty Venture I, LP

Note 13: Business Combination

On October 8, 2013, the Company acquired all of the outstanding general and limited partnership interests of Cabot Industrial Fund III Operating Partnership, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the "Cabot Acquisition"). The acquisition resulted in the purchase of a 100% ownership interest in 177 industrial assets totaling approximately 23.0 million square feet. The purchase price for the Cabot Acquisition was $1.469 billion, which was paid through the assumption of approximately $229.8 million of mortgage debt and the remainder in cash. The Company funded the cash portion of the acquisition consideration through a combination of proceeds from an August 2013 equity offering, proceeds from a September 2013 offering of senior notes and draws under its Credit Facility.

Table of Contents

The allocation of purchase price of the Cabot Acquisition is preliminary pending the receipt of the information necessary to complete the resolution of certain tangible and intangible assets and liabilities including the reconciliation of working capital accounts and the completion of tenant operating expense reconciliations.

Note 14: Derivative Instruments

We borrow funds at a combination of fixed and variable rates. Borrowings under our revolving credit facility and certain bank mortgage loans bear interest at variable rates. Our long-term debt typically bears interest at fixed rates. Our interest rate risk management objectives are to limit generally the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower our overall borrowing costs. To achieve these objectives, from time to time, we enter into interest rate hedge contracts such as collars, swaps, caps and treasury lock agreements in order to mitigate our interest rate risk with respect to various debt instruments. We generally do not hold or issue these derivative contracts for trading or speculative purposes. The interest rate on all of our variable rate debt is generally adjusted at one or three month intervals, subject to settlements under interest rate hedge contracts.

Interest rate swaps involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for 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 (for the Trust) and general partner's equity and limited partners' equity - common units (for the Operating Partnership) and is subsequently reclassified into interest expense in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings.

In connection with the Cabot Acquisition, the Company assumed the seller’s interest in three interest rate swap contracts (“Swaps”) that eliminate the impact of changes in interest rates on the payments required under variable rate mortgages that were also assumed. The Swaps had aggregate notional amounts of $104.5 million and $105.2 million at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, and expire at various dates between 2018 and 2020.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, the effective portion of the change in the fair value of the swaps was a decrease in the amount of $1.5 million and $2.4 million, respectively, which was recorded as a reduction of other comprehensive income and will be reclassified into earnings as a component of interest expense in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. The amount of loss reclassified into interest expense from accumulated other comprehensive income was $366,000 and $726,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively. The ineffective portion of the change in the fair value of the Swaps for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 in the amounts of $37,000 and $55,000, respectively, were recorded as increases to interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

The fair value of the Swaps in the amount of $9.1 million and $8.4 million as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, is included in other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Company estimates that $1.4 million will be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income as an increase to interest expense over the next 12 months.

The Company has agreements with its derivative counterparties that contain a provision whereby if the Company defaults on any of its indebtedness, including default where repayment of the indebtedness has not been accelerated by the lender, then the Company could also be declared in default on its derivative obligations. If the Company were to breach any of the contractual provisions of the derivative contracts, it would be required to settle its obligations under the agreements at their termination value including accrued interest for approximately $9.5 million.

As of June 30, 2014 there were no legal proceedings, claims or assessments that the Company expects to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business or financial statements.

Other

As of June 30, 2014, the Company had letter of credit obligations of $8.1 million. The Company believes that the likelihood is remote that there will be a draw upon these letter of credit obligations.

As of June 30, 2014, the Company had 17 buildings under development. These buildings are expected to contain, when completed, a total of 5.7 million square feet of leasable space and represent an anticipated aggregate investment of $467.3 million. At June 30, 2014, development in progress totaled $329.7 million. In addition, as of June 30, 2014, the Company had invested $10.8 million in deferred leasing costs related to these development buildings. See Note 12 for details of the Company's commitments related to the development of the Comcast Innovation and Technology Center.

As of June 30, 2014, the Company was committed to $10.5 million in improvements on certain buildings and land parcels.

As of June 30, 2014, the Company was committed to $82.8 million in future land purchases.

As of June 30, 2014, the Company was obligated to pay for tenant improvements not yet completed for a maximum of $40.1 million.

The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents at financial institutions. The combined account balances at each institution typically exceed FDIC insurance coverage and, as a result, there is a concentration of credit risk related to amounts on deposit in excess of FDIC insurance coverage. The Company believes the risk is not significant.

Note 16: Supplemental Disclosure to Statements of Cash Flows

The following are supplemental disclosures to the statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 (amounts in thousands):



	2014			2013
Write-off of fully depreciated property and deferred costs	$	20,672		$	17,784
Write-off of depreciated property and deferred costs due to sale	$	132,707		$	49,618
Unrealized losses on cash flow hedge	$	(1,656	)	$	—
Write-off of origination costs relating to preferred unit redemptions	$	—		$	1,236
Increase in investments in and advances to unconsolidated joint ventures due to disposition activity	$	(11,948	)	$	—
Changes in accrued development capital expenditures	$	4,280		$	794

Amounts paid in cash for deferred leasing costs incurred in connection with signed leases with tenants are paid in conjunction with improving (acquiring) property, plant and equipment. Such costs are not contained within net real estate. However, they are integral to the completion of a tenant lease and ultimately are related to the improvement and thus the value of the Company’s

property, plant and equipment. They are therefore included in investing activities in the Company’s consolidated statements of cash flows.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

OVERVIEW

Liberty Property Trust (the “Trust”) is a self-administered and self-managed Maryland real estate investment trust (“REIT”). Substantially all of the Trust’s assets are owned directly or indirectly, and substantially all of the Trust’s operations are conducted directly or indirectly, by its subsidiary, Liberty Property Limited Partnership, a Pennsylvania limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership” and, collectively with the Trust and their consolidated subsidiaries, the “Company”).

The Company owns and operates industrial properties nationally and owns and operates office properties primarily in metro Philadelphia, Washington D.C. and certain sunbelt cities. Additionally, the Company owns certain assets in the United Kingdom.

As of June 30, 2014, the Company owned and operated 489 industrial and 186 office properties (the “Wholly Owned Properties in Operation”) totaling 88.4 million square feet. In addition, as of June 30, 2014, the Company owned 17 properties under development, which when completed are expected to comprise 5.7 million square feet (the “Wholly Owned Properties under Development”) and 1,230 acres of developable land, substantially all of which is zoned for commercial use. Additionally, as of June 30, 2014, the Company had an ownership interest, through unconsolidated joint ventures, in 48 industrial and 34 office properties totaling 14.1 million square feet (the “JV Properties in Operation” and, together with the Wholly Owned Properties in Operation, the “Properties in Operation”), one property under development, which when completed is expected to comprise 203,000

square feet (the "JV Property under Development" and, collectively with the Wholly Owned Properties under Development, the

"Properties under Development" and, collectively with the Properties in Operation, the "Properties") and 468 acres of developable land, substantially all of which is zoned for commercial use. Additionally, during the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company entered into two joint ventures with the purpose of developing and owning the Comcast Innovation & Technology Center located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. See Note 12 to the Company’s financial statements.

The Company focuses on creating value for shareholders and increasing profitability and cash flow. With respect to its Properties in Operation, the Company endeavors to maintain high occupancy levels while maximizing rental rates and controlling costs. The Company pursues development opportunities that it believes will create value and yield acceptable returns. The Company also acquires properties that it believes will create long-term value, and disposes of properties that no longer fit within the Company’s strategic objectives or in situations where it can optimize cash proceeds. The Company expects its strategy with respect to product and market selection to favor industrial and metro-office properties and markets with strong demographic and economic fundamentals.

Consistent with its strategy, on October 8, 2013, the Company completed the acquisition of 100% of the outstanding general partnership and limited partnership interests of the Cabot Industrial Value Fund III Operating Partnership, L.P. ("Cabot"). The purchase price for the acquisition (the "Cabot Acquisition") was $1.469 billion, which was paid through the assumption of approximately $229.8 million of mortgage debt and the remainder in cash. The Company funded the cash portion of the acquisition consideration through a combination of proceeds from an August 2013 offering of common shares, proceeds from a September 2013 offering of senior notes and draws under its credit facility. Pursuant to the purchase of Cabot, the Company acquired a 100% ownership interest in 177 industrial assets totaling approximately 23.0 million square feet at a purchase price of approximately $64 per square foot. These assets are located in 24 markets.

Also consistent with its strategy, on November 7, 2013, the Company entered into an Agreement of Sale and Purchase pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell a real estate portfolio which included the Company’s Jacksonville, Florida portfolio in its entirety, all of the office properties in Maryland, Southern New Jersey and the Fort Washington suburb of Philadelphia and flex properties in Minnesota for a purchase price of $697.3 million (the "Portfolio Sale"). The properties consisted of 97 buildings containing an aggregate of 6.6 million square feet. On December 24, 2013, the Company closed on the first of two planned settlements under this agreement. The proceeds from the first settlement were $367.7 million and included 49 properties containing approximately 4.0 million square feet of space and 140 acres of land. The remaining 48 properties containing an aggregate of 2.6 million square feet and 19 acres of land were sold for $329.6 million in January 2014.

Due to long-term trends that the Company believes favor industrial properties and indicate potential erosion in value of suburban office properties, the Company has increased its investment in industrial and metro-office properties and decreased its investment in suburban office properties. The short-term implication of these activities is a decrease in net cash from operating activities, as rental income from the Company's industrial properties is less than that from the Company's suburban office properties. The Company anticipates that over time it will realize the benefits of these activities, including a higher rate of rental growth and a lower level of transaction costs for industrial properties as opposed to suburban office properties. For 2014, the Company anticipates that the net cash provided by operating activities, less customary capital expenditures and leasing transaction costs, will be less

than dividend distributions primarily due to the delay in the deployment of proceeds from the Portfolio Sale. The Company will continue to evaluate its dividend distribution policy in light of these circumstances.

The Company’s operating results depend primarily upon income from rental operations and are substantially influenced by rental demand for the Properties in Operation. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, straight line rents on renewal and replacement leases were on average 2.7% and 1.9% higher, respectively, than rents on expiring leases. The Company's original guidance for 2014 contemplated a decrease in straight line rent on average of up to 5%. Its revised guidance issued in July 2014 contemplates an increase of straight line rent on average of up to 4%. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company successfully leased 7.2 million square feet and 12.5 million square feet, respectively, and, as of that date, attained occupancy of 91.7% for the Wholly Owned Properties in Operation and 91.8% for the JV Properties in Operation for a combined occupancy of 91.7% for the Properties in Operation. At December 31, 2013, occupancy for the Wholly Owned Properties in Operation was 91.4% and for the JV Properties in Operation was 92.3% for a combined occupancy for the Properties in Operation of 91.6%. The Company's original guidance for 2014 contemplated an increase in occupancy on average of up to 1%. Its revised guidance issued in July 2014 contemplates a decrease in occupancy on average of up to 1%.

Forward-Looking Statements

When used throughout this report, the words “believes,” “anticipates,” “estimates” and “expects” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements indicate that assumptions have been used that are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual financial results or management plans and objectives to differ materially from those projected or expressed herein, including: the effect of global, national and regional economic conditions; rental demand; the Company’s ability to identify, and enter into agreements with suitable joint venture partners in situations where it believes such arrangements are advantageous; the Company’s ability to identify and secure additional properties and sites, both for itself and the joint ventures to which it is a party, that meet its criteria for acquisition or development; the effect of prevailing market interest rates; risks related to the integration of the operations of entities that we have acquired or may acquire; risks related to litigation; and other risks described from time to time in the Company’s filings with the SEC. Given these uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such statements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Refer to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 for a discussion of critical accounting policies which include capitalized costs, revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, impairment of real estate, intangibles, investments in unconsolidated joint ventures and derivative instruments and hedging activities. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, there were no material changes to these policies.

Results of Operations

The following discussion is based on the consolidated financial statements of the Company. It compares the results of operations of the Company for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 with the results of operations of the Company for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013. As a result of the varying levels of development, acquisition and disposition activities by the Company in 2014 and 2013, the overall operating results of the Company during such periods are not directly comparable. However, certain data, including the Same Store comparison, do lend themselves to direct comparison.

This information should be read in conjunction with the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes included elsewhere in this report.

Comparison of Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2014 to Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2013

Overview

The Company’s average gross investment in operating real estate owned for the three months ended June 30, 2014 increased to $6,381.4 million from $4,518.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013. For the six months ended June 30, 2014 the Company's average gross investment in operating real estate owned increased to $6,349.0 million from $4,466.1 million

Table of Contents

for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The change in average gross investment in operating real estate was primarily due to the Cabot Acquisition. This increase in operating real estate resulted in increases in rental revenue, operating expense reimbursement, rental property expenses, real estate taxes and depreciation and amortization expense. Rental property expense includes utilities, insurance, janitorial, landscaping, snow removal and other costs necessary to maintain a property.

Total operating revenue increased to $193.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 from $151.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013. The $42.0 million increase was primarily due to the increase in average gross investment in operating real estate. Total operating revenue increased to $390.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 from $298.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The $92.4 million increase was primarily due to the increase in average gross investment in operating real estate.

Segments

The Company evaluates the performance of the Wholly Owned Properties in Operation in terms of net operating income by reportable segment (see Note 5 to the Company’s financial statements for a reconciliation of this measure to income from continuing operations). The following table identifies changes to net operating income in reportable segments (dollars in thousands):

(1) The increase was primarily due to an increase in average gross investment in operating real estate.

(2) The decrease was primarily due to the change in property type from office to industrial properties.

(3) The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in average gross investment in operating real estate.

Same Store

Property level operating income, exclusive of termination fees, for the Same Store properties is identified in the table below.

The same store results were affected by changes in occupancy and rental rates as detailed below for the respective periods. The six-month results were also affected by the non-recovered portion of the increase in snow removal costs and other weather-related expenses for the respective periods.

Table of Contents

(1) Represents the average contractual rent per square foot for the six months ended June 30, 2014 or 2013 for tenants in occupancy in Same Store properties. Net rent does not include the tenant's obligation to pay property operating expenses and real estate taxes. If a tenant was within a free rent period its rent would equal zero for purposes of this metric.

(2) Straight line rent and operating expense reimbursement represents the average straight line rent including operating expense recoveries per square foot for the six months ended June 30, 2014 or 2013 for tenants in occupancy.

Management generally considers the performance of the Same Store properties to be a useful financial performance measure because the results are directly comparable from period to period. In addition, Same Store property level operating income and Same Store cash basis property level operating income is considered by management to be a more reliable indicator of the portfolio’s baseline performance. The Same Store properties consist of the 479 properties totaling approximately 59.4 million square feet owned on January 1, 2013. Properties that were acquired, or on which development was completed, during the year ended December 31, 2013 and the six months ended June 30, 2014 are excluded from the Same Store properties. Properties that were acquired, or on which development was completed, are included in Same Store when they have been purchased in the case of acquisitions, and placed into service in the case of completed development, prior to the beginning of the earliest period presented in the comparison. The 58 properties sold during 2013 and the 52 properties sold during the six months ended June 30, 2014 are also excluded.

Set forth below is a schedule comparing the property level operating income, on a straight line basis and on a cash basis, for the Same Store properties for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013. Same Store property level operating income and cash basis property level operating income are non-GAAP measures and do not represent income before gain on property dispositions, income taxes and equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures because they do not reflect the consolidated operations of the Company. Investors should review Same Store results, along with Funds from operations (see “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below), GAAP net income and cash flow from operating activities, investing activities and financing activities when considering the Company’s operating performance. Also set forth below is a reconciliation of Same Store property level operating income and cash basis property level operating income to net income (in thousands).

(1)Includes termination fees of $8,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and $498,000 and $731,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively. There were no termination fees included in discontinued operations for the three months ended June 30, 2014. Termination fees are fees that the Company agrees to accept in consideration for permitting certain tenants to terminate their leases prior to the contractual expiration date. Termination fees are included in rental revenue and if a property is sold, related termination fees are included in discontinued operations.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses decreased to $15.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to $16.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and decreased to $33.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to $36.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. These decreases were primarily due to decreases in costs related to certain operating initiatives and acquisition-related expenditures. General and administrative expenses include salaries, wages and incentive compensation for general and administrative staff along with related costs, consulting, marketing, public company expenses, costs associated with the acquisition of properties and other general and administrative costs.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization increased to $57.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 from $37.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and increased to $114.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 from $74.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. These increases were primarily due to the increased investment in operating real estate.

Other Income

Other income was $3.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to $5.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and $5.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to $9.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. These decreases were primarily due to a decrease in gains associated with a land development in the United Kingdom.

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased to $38.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 from $28.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013. The increase was primarily due to an increase in the average debt outstanding to $3,249.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 from $2,637.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013. Interest expense increased to $77.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 from $55.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The increase was primarily due to an increase in the average debt outstanding to $3,250.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 from $2,644.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The increases in the average debt outstanding were primarily due to the issuance of $450 million in unsecured notes in September 2013 in anticipation of the Cabot Acquisition. Another contribution was the decrease in interest allocated to discontinued operations. There was no interest expense allocated to discontinued operations for the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to $4.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013. There was $557,000 in interest expense allocated to discontinued operations for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to $8.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The amount of interest allocated to discontinued operations is related to the level of dispositions in 2014 compared to 2013.

The increases in interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 were partially offset by a decrease in the weighted average interest rate which was 5.0% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to 5.1% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013.

Equity in Earnings of Unconsolidated Joint Ventures

Equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures decreased to $1.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to $1.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and increased to $5.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to $3.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The increase for the six-month periods was primarily due to a $2.7 million gain related to the sale of a land leasehold interest by an unconsolidated joint venture in which the Company holds an interest.

Other

Income from discontinued operations decreased to $241,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2014 from $13.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and decreased to $48.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 from $63.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. These decreases were primarily due to the level of dispositions in 2014 compared to 2013.

As a result of the foregoing, the Company’s net income decreased to $30.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 from $43.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and decreased to $104.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 from $117.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

The Company seeks to maintain a conservative balance sheet and pursue a strategy of financial flexibility. The Company's liquidity requirements include operating and general and administrative expenses, shareholder distributions, funding its investment in development properties and satisfying interest requirements and debt maturities. The Company believes that proceeds from operating activities, asset sales, its available cash, borrowing capacity from its Credit Facility (as defined below) and its other sources of capital including the public debt and equity markets will provide it with sufficient funds to satisfy these obligations.

Activity

As of June 30, 2014, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $247.7 million, including $19.0 million in restricted cash.

Net cash provided by operating activities increased to $147.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 from $146.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. This $1.0 million increase was primarily due to changes in restricted cash, prepaid expenses and other assets and other liabilities during 2014 related to expenditures on and the distribution of proceeds for a land development in the United Kingdom. There were no similar expenditures or distributions during 2013. Decreases were offset by an increase in operating activities during 2013, reflecting the impact of the Cabot Acquisition net of the Portfolio Sale. Net cash flow provided by operating activities is the primary source of liquidity to fund distributions to shareholders and for recurring capital expenditures and leasing transaction costs for the Company’s Wholly Owned Properties in Operation.

Table of Contents

Net cash provided by investing activities was $39.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to net cash used in investing activities of $102.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. This $141.3 million change primarily resulted from an increase in net proceeds from the disposition of properties and land associated with the close of the second settlement of the Portfolio Sale. This amount was partially offset by an increase in the investment in development properties.

Net cash used in financing activities increased to $122.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to $17.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. This $105.0 million increase was primarily due to net usage of the Credit Facility related to the company’s acquisition, disposition and development activities during 2013. No amounts were drawn on the Credit Facility at December 31, 2013 and June 30, 2014. In addition, distributions to shareholders were higher in 2014 due to the equity offering associated with the Cabot Acquisition. Net cash used in financing activities includes proceeds from the issuance of equity and debt, net of debt repayments, equity repurchases and distributions.

The Company funds its development activities and acquisitions with long-term capital sources and proceeds from the disposition of properties. When appropriate the Company also funds such activities with available capacity under its $800 million credit facility (the "Credit Facility"). The Credit Facility replaced a $500 million credit facility during the three months ended March 31, 2014. The interest rate on borrowings under the Credit Facility fluctuates based upon ratings from Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., Standard and Poor’s Ratings Group and Fitch, Inc. Based on the Company’s existing ratings, the interest rate for borrowings under the Credit Facility at June 30, 2014 was LIBOR plus 105 basis points.

The Company uses debt financing to lower its overall cost of capital in an attempt to increase the return to shareholders. The Company staggers its debt maturities and maintains debt levels it considers to be prudent. In determining its debt levels, the Company considers various financial measures including the debt to gross assets ratio and the fixed charge coverage ratio. As of June 30, 2014, the Company’s debt to gross assets ratio was 41.3% and for the six months ended June 30, 2014, the fixed charge coverage ratio was 2.9x. Debt to gross assets equals total long-term debt and borrowings under the Credit Facility divided by total assets plus accumulated depreciation. The fixed charge coverage ratio equals income from continuing operations, including operating activity from discontinued operations, plus interest expense and depreciation and amortization, divided by interest expense, including capitalized interest, plus distributions on preferred units.

As of June 30, 2014, $537.3 million in mortgage loans and $2,708.7 million in unsecured notes were outstanding with a weighted average interest rate of 5.05%. The interest rates on $3,230.0 million of mortgage loans and unsecured notes are fixed (including $104.5 million fixed via a swap arrangement - see Note 14 to the Company's financial statements) and range from 3.0% to 7.5%. The weighted average remaining term for the mortgage loans and unsecured notes is 5.4 years.

The scheduled principal amortization and maturities of the Company’s mortgage loans, unsecured notes and the Credit Facility and the related weighted average interest rates as of June 30, 2014 are as follows (in thousands, except percentages):

Calculation of Funds from Operations

The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) has issued a standard definition for Funds from operations (as defined below). The SEC has agreed to the disclosure of this non-GAAP financial measure on a per share basis in its Release No. 34-47226, Conditions for Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures. The Company believes that the calculation of Funds from operations is helpful to investors and management as it is a measure of the Company’s operating performance that excludes depreciation and amortization and gains and losses from operating property dispositions. As a result, year over year comparison of Funds from operations reflects the impact on operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, development activities, general and administrative expenses, and interest costs, providing perspective not immediately apparent from net income. In addition, management believes that Funds from operations provides useful information to the investment community about the Company’s financial performance when compared to other REITs since Funds from operations is generally recognized as the standard for reporting the operating performance of a REIT. Funds from operations available to common shareholders is defined by NAREIT as net income (computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”)), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Funds from operations available to common shareholders does not represent net income or cash flows from operations as defined by GAAP and does not necessarily indicate that cash flows will be sufficient to fund cash needs. It should not be considered as an alternative to net income as an indicator of the Company’s operating performance or to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. Funds from operations available to common shareholders also does not represent cash flows generated from operating, investing or financing activities as defined by GAAP.

Inflation

Inflation has remained relatively low in recent years, and as a result, it has not had a significant impact on the Company during this period. To the extent an increase in inflation would result in increased operating costs, such as insurance, real estate taxes and utilities, substantially all of the tenants’ leases require the tenants to absorb these costs as part of their rental obligations. In addition, inflation also may have the effect of increasing market rental rates.
