As a REIT, we are not subject to U.S. federal income taxation as long as we satisfy certain requirements, principally relating to the nature of our income and the level of our distributions, among other factors. We earn revenue primarily by leasing the properties we own to single corporate tenants, predominantly on a triple-net lease basis, which requires the tenant to pay substantially all of the costs associated with operating and maintaining the property. Revenue is subject to fluctuation due to the timing of new lease transactions, lease terminations, lease expirations, contractual rent adjustments, tenant defaults, sales of properties, and changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

Substantially all of our assets and liabilities are held by CPA®:18 Limited Partnership, or the Operating Partnership, and at March 31, 2016 we owned 99.97% of general and limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership. The remaining interest in the Operating Partnership is held by a subsidiary of WPC.

At March 31, 2016, our portfolio was comprised of full or partial ownership interests in 59 properties, the majority of which were fully-occupied and triple-net leased to 99 tenants totaling 9.5 million square feet. The remainder of our portfolio was comprised of our full or partial ownership interests in 61 self-storage properties and eight multi-family properties totaling 6.1 million square feet.

We raised aggregate gross proceeds in our initial public offering of approximately $1.2 billion through April 2, 2015, which is the date we closed our offering.

We operate in two reportable business segments: Net Lease and Self Storage. Our Net Lease segment includes our investments in net-leased properties, whether they are accounted for as operating or direct financing leases. Our Self Storage segment is comprised of our investments in self-storage properties. In addition, we have an All Other category that includes our multi-family investments and our investment in a note receivable (Note 13). Our reportable business segments and All Other category are the same as our reporting units.

Note 2. Revisions of Previously-Issued Financial Statements

During the second quarter of 2015, we identified errors in the interim consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2015 related to the classification of certain activities within the statement of cash flows and an error related to the capitalization of financing costs associated with the refinancing of a mortgage loan. We evaluated the impact of these errors on the previously-issued financial statements and concluded that these errors were not material to our consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2015. As such, we have revised our consolidated statements of operations and condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The revisions described below had no effect on our cash balances or liquidity as of March 31, 2015.

___________
(a)
These items relate to an error in the classification of cash flows for an acquisition of real estate, whereby Net cash provided by operating activities was overstated by $1.0 million, Net cash used in investing activities was overstated by $0.5 million, and the Effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents should have been increased by $0.5 million.
(b)
These items relate to an error in the classification of cash flows related to the settlement of proceeds from the sale of our common stock and an error in the classification of cash flows for offering costs, whereby Net cash provided by operating activities was understated by $1.9 million and Net cash provided by financing activities was overstated by the same amount.
(c)
These items relate to an error in the capitalization of financing costs as described below, whereby Net cash provided by operating activities was overstated by $0.9 million and Net cash provided by financing activities was understated by the same amount.
(d)
These items relate to an error in the classification of the remeasurement of foreign cash balances held in U.S. dollar functional currency subsidiaries, whereby Net cash provided by operating activities was understated by $3.1 million and the Effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents should have been decreased by the same amount.

Error Associated with Financing Costs
In addition to the classification errors described above, we identified an error related to the capitalization of financing costs associated with the refinancing of a mortgage loan, which should have been recorded as Interest expense within our consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2015. We have revised our consolidated statement of operations, which increased Interest expense, Loss before income taxes, Net loss, and Net loss attributable to CPA®:18 – Global by $0.9 million and Net loss per share for Class A and Class C common stock by $0.01. This also resulted in a corresponding decrease of $0.9 million to Other assets, Total assets, Distributions and accumulated losses, and Total equity within the consolidated balance sheet and, where applicable, within the consolidated statement of equity. In addition, the amounts for Net loss, Comprehensive loss and Comprehensive loss attributable to CPA®:18 – Global on the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss for the three months ended March 31, 2015 increased by $0.9 million.

Revision of Share Repurchases
During the year ended December 31, 2015, we determined that our presentation of common shares repurchased should be classified as a reduction to Common stock, for the par amount of the common shares repurchased and as a reduction to Additional paid-in capital for the excess over the amount allocated to common stock, as well as included as shares unissued within the consolidated financial statements. We previously classified common shares repurchased as Treasury stock in our consolidated financial statements. We evaluated the impact of this correction on previously-issued financial statements and concluded they were not materially misstated. In order to conform previous financial statements to the current period, we elected to revise previously-issued financial statements the next time such financial statements are filed. The correction eliminates Treasury stock of $3.2 million as of March 31, 2015 and results in corresponding reductions of Common stock and Additional paid-in capital, but has no impact on total equity within the consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2015 and consolidated statements of equity for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The accompanying consolidated statement of equity for the three months ended March 31, 2015 has been revised accordingly. In addition, we will revise the consolidated statements of changes in equity for the periods ended June 30, 2015 and September 30, 2015, as those financial statements are presented in future filings. The misclassification had no impact on the previously-reported consolidated statements of operations, consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss), or condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

Note 3. Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

Our interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not necessarily include all information and footnotes necessary for a fair statement of our consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP.
 
In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial information for the interim periods presented in this Report reflects all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. Our interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes for the year ended December 31, 2015, which are included in the 2015 Annual Report, as certain disclosures that would substantially duplicate those contained in the audited consolidated financial statements have not been included in this Report. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of operating results for an entire year.
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and the disclosure of contingent amounts in our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Basis of Consolidation

Our consolidated financial statements reflect all of our accounts, including those of our controlled subsidiaries. The portions of equity in consolidated subsidiaries that are not attributable, directly or indirectly, to us are presented as noncontrolling interests. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

On January 1, 2016, we adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s, or FASB’s, Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis, as described in the Recent Accounting Pronouncements section below, which amends the current consolidation guidance, including introducing a separate consolidation analysis specific to limited partnerships and other similar entities. When we obtain an economic interest in an entity, we evaluate the entity to determine if it should be deemed a VIE, and, if so, whether we are the primary beneficiary and are therefore required to consolidate the entity. We apply accounting guidance for consolidation of VIEs to certain entities in which the equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. Fixed price purchase and renewal options within a lease, as well as certain decision-making rights within a loan or joint-venture agreement, can cause us to consider an entity a VIE. Limited partnerships and other similar entities that operate as a partnership will be considered a VIE unless the limited partners hold substantive kick-out rights or participation rights. Significant judgment is required to determine whether a VIE should be consolidated. We review the contractual arrangements provided for in the partnership agreement or other related contracts to determine whether the entity is considered a VIE and to establish whether we have any variable interests in the VIE. We then compare our variable interests, if any, to those of the other variable interest

CPA®:18 – Global 3/31/2016 10-Q 9


Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)


holders to determine which party is the primary beneficiary of the VIE based on whether the entity (i) has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIE and (ii) has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. We performed this analysis on all of our subsidiary entities following the guidance in ASU 2015-02 to determine whether they qualify as VIEs and whether they should be consolidated or accounted for as equity investments in an unconsolidated venture. As part of this assessment, we determined that eight entities that were previously classified as voting interest entities should now be classified as VIEs as of January 1, 2016 and therefore included in our VIE disclosures. However, there was no change in determining whether or not we consolidate these entities as a result of the new guidance. We elected to retrospectively adopt ASU 2015-02, which resulted in changes to our VIE disclosures within the consolidated balance sheets. There were no other changes to our consolidated balance sheets or results of operations for the periods presented. The liabilities of these VIEs are non-recourse to us and can only be satisfied from each VIE’s respective assets.

As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, we had one unconsolidated VIE, which we do not consolidate because we are not the primary beneficiary and the nature of our involvement in the activities of the entities do not give us power over decisions that significantly affect the economic performance of the entities. We account for this investment under the equity method. As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the net carrying amount of our equity investment was $11.1 million and $12.6 million, respectively, and our maximum exposure to loss in these entities is limited to our investment. 

Reclassifications

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

On January 1, 2016, we adopted ASU 2015-03, Interest-Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30) as described in the Recent Accounting Pronouncements section below. ASU 2015-03 changes the presentation of debt issuance costs, which were previously recognized as an asset and requires that they be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability. As a result of adopting this guidance, we reclassified $9.0 million of deferred financing costs from Other assets, net to Non-recourse debt, net and Bonds payable, net as of December 31, 2015.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). ASU 2014-09 is a comprehensive new revenue recognition model requiring a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount reflecting the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 does not apply to our lease revenues, but will apply to reimbursed tenant costs and revenues generated from our operating properties. Additionally, this guidance modifies disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, which defers the effective date of ASU 2014-09 for all entities by one year, beginning in 2018, with early adoption permitted but not before 2017, the original public company effective date. We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2014-09 on our consolidated financial statements and have not yet determined the method by which we will adopt the standard.

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810). ASU 2015-02 amends the current consolidation guidance, including modification of the guidance for evaluating whether limited partnerships and similar legal entities are VIEs or voting interest entities. The guidance does not amend the existing disclosure requirements for VIEs or voting interest model entities. The guidance, however, modified the requirements to qualify under the voting interest model. Under the revised guidance, ASU 2015-02 requires an entity to classify a limited liability company or a limited partnership as a VIE unless the partnership provides partners with either substantive kick-out rights or substantive participating rights over the managing member or general partner. Refer to the discussion in the Basis of Consolidation section above.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Interest-Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30). ASU 2015-03 changes the presentation of debt issuance costs, which are currently recognized as a deferred charge (that is, an asset) and requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. ASU 2015-03 does not affect the recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs. ASU 2015-03 is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2015, early adoption is permitted and retrospective application is required. We adopted ASU 2015-03 on January 1, 2016 and have disclosed the reclassification of our debt issuance costs in the Reclassifications section above.

In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-16, Business Combinations (Topic 805). ASU 2015-16 eliminates the requirement that an acquirer in a business combination account for measurement period adjustments retrospectively. Instead, an acquirer will recognize a measurement period adjustment during the period in which it determines the amount of the adjustment, including the effect on earnings of any amounts it would have recorded in previous periods if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. ASU 2015-16 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods within those fiscal years, early adoption is permitted and prospective application is required for adjustments that are identified after the effective date of this update. We elected to early adopt ASU 2015-16 and implemented the standard prospectively beginning July 1, 2015. The adoption and implementation of the standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). ASU 2016-02 outlines a new model for accounting by lessees, whereby their rights and obligations under substantially all leases, existing and new, would be capitalized and recorded on the balance sheet. For lessors, however, the accounting remains largely unchanged from the current model, with the distinction between operating and financing leases retained, but updated to align with certain changes to the lessee model and the new revenue recognition standard. The new standard also replaces existing sale-leaseback guidance with a new model applicable to both lessees and lessors. Additionally, the new standard requires extensive quantitative and qualitative disclosures. ASU 2016-02 is effective for U.S. GAAP public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years; for all other entities, the final lease standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Early application will be permitted for all entities. The new standard must be adopted using a modified retrospective transition of the new guidance and provides for certain practical expedients. Transition will require application of the new model at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented. We are evaluating the impact of the new standard and have not yet determined if it will have a material impact on our business or our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-05, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Effect of Derivative Contract Novations on Existing Hedge Accounting Relationships. ASU 2016-05 clarifies that a change in counterparty to a derivative contract in and of itself, does not require the dedesignation of a hedging relationship. ASU 2016-05 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted and entities have the option of adopting this guidance on a prospective basis to new derivative contracts or on a modified retrospective basis. We elected to early adopt ASU 2-16-05 on January 1, 2016 on a prospective basis and there was no impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-07, Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323). ASU 2016-07 simplifies the transition to the equity method of accounting. ASU 2016-07 eliminates the requirement to apply the equity method of accounting retrospectively when a reporting entity obtains significant influence over a previously held investment. Instead the equity method of accounting will be applied prospectively from the date significant influence is obtained. The new standard should be applied prospectively for investments that qualify for the equity method of accounting in interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted and we elected to early adopt this standard as of January 1, 2016. The adoption of this standard had no impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Note 4. Agreements and Transactions with Related Parties

Transactions with Our Advisor

We have an advisory agreement with our Advisor whereby our Advisor performs certain services for us under a fee arrangement, including the identification, evaluation, negotiation, purchase, and disposition of real estate and related assets and mortgage loans; day-to-day management; and the performance of certain administrative duties. We also reimburse our Advisor for general and administrative duties performed on our behalf. The advisory agreement has a term of one year and may be renewed for successive one-year periods. We may terminate the advisory agreement upon 60 days’ written notice without cause or penalty.

Organization and Offering Costs

Pursuant to the advisory agreement, we were liable for certain expenses related to our initial public offering, including filing, legal, accounting, printing, advertising, transfer agent, and escrow fees, which were deducted from the gross proceeds of the offering. We reimbursed Carey Financial LLC, or Carey Financial, our dealer manager and an affiliate of our Advisor (who may then reimburse selected dealers) for reasonable bona fide due diligence expenses incurred that were supported by a detailed and itemized invoice. Total underwriting compensation paid in connection with our offering, including selling commissions and the dealer manager fee, and reimbursements made by Carey Financial to selected dealers and investment advisors, did not exceed the limitations prescribed by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc., the regulator for broker-dealers like Carey Financial, which limit underwriting compensation to 10% of gross offering proceeds. Our Advisor agreed to be responsible for the repayment of organization and offering expenses (excluding selling commissions and dealer manager fees paid to Carey Financial and selected dealers and fees paid and expenses reimbursed to selected dealers) that exceeded, in the aggregate, 1.5% of the gross proceeds from our initial public offering. From inception and through March 31, 2016, our Advisor incurred organization and offering costs of $8.7 million on our behalf, all of which we were obligated to pay because such costs did not exceed 1.5% of the gross proceeds from our initial public offering. As a result, we have fully repaid our Advisor for such costs, which we have charged to stockholders’ equity in our consolidated financial statements.

Loans from WPC

In January 2013, our board of directors and the board of directors of WPC approved unsecured loans from WPC to us of up to $100.0 million, in the aggregate, at a rate equal to the rate at which WPC was able to borrow funds under its senior credit facility, for the purpose of facilitating acquisitions approved by our Advisor’s investment committee that we would not otherwise have had sufficient available funds to complete. All loans were made solely at the discretion of WPC’s management. This line of credit with WPC was terminated in January 2016. We did not borrow any funds from WPC during the three months ended March 31, 2016 or 2015, nor did we have any amounts outstanding at March 31, 2016 or December 31, 2015.

Asset Management Fees

Pursuant to the advisory agreement, our Advisor is entitled to an annual asset management fee ranging from 0.5% to 1.5%, depending on the type of investment and based on the average market value or average equity value, as applicable, of our investments. We amended the advisory agreement for 2015, so that the asset management fees are payable in cash or shares of our Class A common stock at our option, after consultation with our Advisor. If our Advisor receives all or a portion of its fees in shares, the number of shares issued is determined by dividing the dollar amount of fees by our most recently published estimated net asset value per share, or NAV, which was published in March 2016 and estimated to be $7.90 for Class A common stock as of December 31, 2015 (before our NAV was published, as was the case at December 31, 2015, we used the offering price of our Class A shares of $10.00 per share). For both the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, our Advisor received its asset management fees in shares of our Class A common stock. At March 31, 2016, our Advisor owned 1,258,115 shares, or 0.9%, of our Class A common stock outstanding. Asset management fees are included in Property expenses in the consolidated financial statements.


CPA®:18 – Global 3/31/2016 10-Q 13


Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)


Selling Commissions and Dealer Manager Fees

Pursuant to our dealer manager agreement, Carey Financial received a selling commission in connection with our initial public offering of $0.70 and $0.14 per share sold and a dealer manager fee of $0.30 and $0.21 per share sold for the Class A and Class C common stock, respectively. Our initial public offering closed on April 2, 2015. These amounts were recorded in Additional paid-in capital in the consolidated financial statements. We recorded selling commissions and dealer manager fees of $107.9 million on a cumulative basis through March 31, 2016.

Annual Distribution and Shareholder Servicing Fee

Carey Financial also receives an annual distribution and shareholder servicing fee in connection with our Class C common stock, which it may re-allow to selected dealers. The amount of the annual distribution and shareholder servicing fee was initially 1.0% of the offering price per share of our Class C common stock, but is now 1.0% of the most recently published NAV of our Class C common stock, which was published in March 2016. The annual distribution and shareholder servicing fee accrues daily and is payable quarterly in arrears. We will no longer incur the annual distribution and shareholder servicing fee beginning on the date at which, in the aggregate, underwriting compensation from all sources, including the annual distribution and shareholder servicing fee, any organizational and offering fee paid for underwriting and underwriting compensation paid by WPC and its affiliates, reaches 10.0% of the gross proceeds from our initial public offering, which it has not yet reached. At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, we had a liability of $8.9 million and $9.4 million, respectively, within Due to affiliates to reflect the present value of the estimated future payments that we expect to pay Carey Financial.

Acquisition and Disposition Fees

Our Advisor receives acquisition fees, a portion of which is payable upon acquisition, while the remaining portion is subordinated to a preferred return of a non-compounded cumulative distribution of 5.0% per annum (based initially on our invested capital). The initial acquisition fee and subordinated acquisition fee are 2.5% and 2.0%, respectively, of the aggregate total cost of our portion of each investment for all investments, other than those in readily-marketable real estate securities purchased in the secondary market, for which our Advisor will not receive any acquisition fees. Deferred acquisition fees are scheduled to be paid in three equal annual installments following the quarter in which a property was purchased and are subject to the preferred return described above. The preferred return was achieved as of the cumulative periods ended March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015. Unpaid deferred acquisition fees are included in Due to affiliate in the consolidated financial statements. The total acquisition fees to be paid (initial and subordinated, and including interest thereon) may not exceed 6.0% of the aggregate contract purchase price of all investments and loans.

In addition, pursuant to the advisory agreement, our Advisor may be entitled to receive a disposition fee equal to the lesser of (i) 50.0% of the competitive real estate commission (as defined in the advisory agreement) or (ii) 3.0% of the contract sales price of the investment being sold.

Personnel and Overhead Reimbursements

Under the terms of the advisory agreement, our Advisor allocates a portion of its personnel and overhead expenses to us and the other publicly-owned, non-listed REITs that are managed by our Advisor, including Corporate Property Associates 17 – Global Incorporated, or CPA®:17 – Global, or, together with us, the CPA® REITs, Carey Watermark Investors Incorporated, or CWI 1, and Carey Watermark Investors 2 Incorporated, or CWI 2. Our Advisor allocates these expenses to us on the basis of our trailing four quarters of reported revenues and those of WPC and other entities managed by WPC and its affiliates.

We reimburse our Advisor for various expenses it incurs in the course of providing services to us. We reimburse certain third-party expenses paid by our Advisor on our behalf, including property-specific costs, professional fees, office expenses, and business development expenses. In addition, we reimburse our Advisor for the allocated costs of personnel and overhead in managing our day-to-day operations, including accounting services, stockholder services, corporate management, and property management and operations. We do not reimburse our Advisor for the cost of personnel if these personnel provide services for transactions for which our Advisor receives a transaction fee, such as acquisitions and dispositions. Under the advisory agreement currently in place, the amount of applicable personnel costs allocated to us is capped at 2.4% for 2015 and 2.2% for 2016 of pro rata lease revenues for each year. Beginning in 2017, the cap decreases to 2.0% of pro rata lease revenues for that year. Costs related to our Advisor’s legal transactions group are based on a schedule of expenses relating to services performed for different types of transactions, such as financing, lease amendments, and dispositions, among other categories, and includes 0.25% of the total investment cost of an acquisition. In general, personnel and overhead reimbursements are included in General and administrative expenses in the consolidated financial statements. However, we capitalize certain of the costs related to our Advisor’s legal transactions group if the costs relate to a transaction that is not considered to be a business combination.

Excess Operating Expenses
 
Our Advisor is obligated to reimburse us for the amount by which our operating expenses exceeds the “2%/25% guidelines” (the greater of 2% of average invested assets or 25% of net income) as defined in the advisory agreement for any 12-month period, subject to certain conditions. For the most recent four trailing quarters, our operating expenses were below this threshold.

Available Cash Distributions

CPA®:18 Holdings’ interest in the Operating Partnership entitles it to receive distributions of 10.0% of the available cash generated by the Operating Partnership, referred to as the Available Cash Distribution, which is defined as cash generated from operations, excluding capital proceeds, as reduced by operating expenses and debt service, excluding prepayments and balloon payments. Available Cash Distributions are included in Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests in the consolidated financial statements.

Jointly-Owned Investments and Other Transactions with our Affiliate

At March 31, 2016, we owned interests in four jointly-owned investments ranging from 50% to 80%, with the remaining interests held by our affiliate CPA®:17 – Global. We consolidate all of these joint ventures because we are either the majority equity holder and/or we control the significant activities of the ventures. Additionally, no other parties hold any rights that overcome our control. We account for CPA®:17 – Global’s share of these investments as noncontrolling interests.

Acquisitions of Real Estate and Operating Real Estate During 2016

Asset Acquisitions

On February 19, 2016, we invested in a build-to-suit joint venture with a third party for a university complex development site located in Accra, Ghana for $6.5 million, which includes capitalized acquisition costs of $2.6 million. Upon completion of this project, which is estimated to be in 2018, our total investment is expected to be approximately $65.7 million. We deemed this investment to be a VIE since the joint venture does not have sufficient equity at risk. Additionally, we consolidate the entity since we currently wholly own the joint venture. See Real Estate Under Construction below for more details.

In connection with the above project, the joint venture has obtained third-party financing in an amount up to $41.0 million with an interest rate based on the U.S. treasury rate plus 300 basis points. As of March 31, 2016, we had no amount outstanding under the financing arrangement. In addition, the joint venture has procured a policy of political risk insurance on its equity investment, which is subject to coverage-specific limits and other conditions.

Business Combinations Self-Storage Properties

During the three months ended March 31, 2016, we acquired the following three self-storage investments, for a total of $22.7 million:

$11.0 million for a facility in Gilroy, California on February 17, 2016;
$5.6 million for a facility in Avondale, Louisiana on January 14, 2016; and
$6.1 million for a facility in Kissimmee, Florida on January 14, 2016.

In connection with these self-storage property transactions, we incurred acquisition expenses totaling $1.8 million, which are included in Acquisition expenses in the consolidated financial statements. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, we obtained mortgage loans totaling $63.0 million, of which $59.6 million related to investments acquired during 2015 and $3.4 million related to investments acquired during the current year (Note 10).

Placed into Service — During the three months ended March 31, 2016, we placed into service $1.1 million related to one of our build-to-suit expansion projects.

Ending Balance — At both March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, we had nine open build-to-suit projects with aggregate unfunded commitments totaling approximately $215.2 million and $181.8 million, respectively, which included $14.8 million and $17.4 million, respectively, related to our equity investment. At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the aggregate unfunded commitments related to our VIEs totaled $193.7 million and $156.9 million, respectively.

Note 6. Finance Receivables

Assets representing rights to receive money on demand or at fixed or determinable dates are referred to as finance receivables. Our finance receivables portfolio consists of our Net investments in direct financing leases and our Note receivable. Operating leases are not included in finance receivables in the consolidated financial statements.

Net Investments in Direct Financing Leases

Interest income from direct financing leases was $1.2 million and $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Credit Quality of Finance Receivables

We generally seek investments in facilities that we believe are critical to a tenant’s business and that we believe have a low risk of tenant default. At both March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, none of the balances of our finance receivables were past due and we had not established any allowances for credit losses. Additionally, there were no modifications of finance receivables during the three months ended March 31, 2016 or the year ended December 31, 2015. We evaluate the credit quality of our finance receivables utilizing an internal five-point credit rating scale, with one representing the highest credit quality and five representing the lowest. The credit quality evaluation of our finance receivables was last updated in the first quarter of 2016.

A summary of our finance receivables by internal credit quality rating is as follows (dollars in thousands):

Amortization of below-market and above-market rent intangibles is recorded as an adjustment to Rental income, amortization of below-market and above-market ground lease intangibles is included in Property expenses, and amortization of in-place lease intangibles is included in Depreciation and amortization expense.

Note 8. Fair Value Measurements
 
The fair value of an asset is defined as the exit price, which is the amount that would either be received when an asset is sold or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The guidance establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers are: Level 1, for which quoted market prices for identical instruments are available in active markets, such as money market funds, equity securities, and U.S. Treasury securities; Level 2, for which there are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the instrument, such as certain derivative instruments including interest rate caps, interest rate swaps, foreign currency forward contracts and foreign currency collars; and Level 3, for securities that do not fall into Level 1 or Level 2 and for which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring us to develop our own assumptions.

Items Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The methods and assumptions described below were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument. For significant Level 3 items, we have also provided the unobservable inputs along with their weighted-average ranges.

Derivative Assets — Our derivative assets, which are included in Other assets, net in the consolidated financial statements, are comprised of foreign currency forward contracts, interest rate caps, and foreign currency collars (Note 9). These derivative instruments were measured at fair value using readily observable market inputs, such as quotations on interest rates, and were classified as Level 2 as these instruments are custom, over-the-counter contracts with various bank counterparties that are not traded in an active market.

CPA®:18 – Global 3/31/2016 10-Q 19


Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)



Derivative Liabilities — Our derivative liabilities, which are included in Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities in the consolidated financial statements, are comprised of interest rate swaps and foreign currency collars (Note 9). These derivative instruments were measured at fair value using readily observable market inputs, such as quotations on interest rates, and were classified as Level 2 because they are custom, over-the-counter contracts with various bank counterparties that are not traded in an active market.

Rent Guarantees — Our rent guarantees, which are included in Other assets, net in the consolidated financial statements, are related to two of our international properties that were acquired during 2015. These rent guarantees were measured at fair value using a discounted cash flow model, and were classified as Level 3 because the model uses unobservable inputs. At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, our rent guarantees had a fair value of $0.5 million and $1.3 million, respectively. We determined the fair value of the rent guarantees based on an estimate of discounted cash flows using a discount rate that ranged from 7% to 9% and a growth rate of 2%, which are considered significant unobservable inputs. Significant increases or decreases to these inputs in isolation would result in a significant change in the fair value measurement. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, we recognized $0.2 million of mark-to-market losses related to these rent guarantees within Other income and (expenses) on our consolidated financial statements.
 
We did not have any transfers into or out of Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 measurements during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015. Gains and losses (realized and unrealized) included in earnings are reported in Other income and (expenses) in the consolidated financial statements.

In accordance with ASU 2015-03, as of December 31, 2015 we reclassified deferred financing costs from Other assets, net to Non-recourse debt, net and Bonds payable, net for the amounts of $8.3 million and $0.7 million, respectively (Note 3).
(b)
We determined the estimated fair value of our non-recourse debt and bonds payable using a discounted cash flow model that estimates the present value of the future loan payments by discounting such payments at current estimated market interest rates. The estimated market interest rates take into account interest rate risk and the value of the underlying collateral, which includes quality of the collateral, the credit quality of the tenant/obligor, and the time until maturity.
(c)
We determined the estimated fair value of our note receivable using a discounted cash flow model with rates that take into account the credit of the tenant/obligor, order of payment tranches, and interest rate risk. We also considered the value of the underlying collateral, taking into account the quality of the collateral, the credit quality of the tenant/obligor, the time until maturity, and the current market interest rate.

We estimated that our other financial assets and liabilities (excluding net investments in direct financing leases) had fair values that approximated their carrying values at both March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

Note 9. Risk Management and Use of Derivative Financial Instruments
 
Risk Management
 
In the normal course of our ongoing business operations, we encounter economic risk. There are four main components of economic risk that impact us: interest rate risk, credit risk, market risk, and foreign currency risk. We are primarily subject to interest rate risk on our interest-bearing assets and liabilities. Credit risk is the risk of default on our operations and our tenants’ inability or unwillingness to make contractually required payments. Market risk includes changes in the value of our properties and related loans, as well as changes in the value of our other investments due to changes in interest rates or other market factors. We own international investments, primarily in Europe, and are subject to risks associated with fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates.

Derivative Financial Instruments
 
When we use derivative instruments, it is generally to reduce our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rate movements. We have not entered into, and do not plan to enter into financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. In addition to entering into derivative instruments on our own behalf, we may also be a party to derivative instruments that are embedded in other contracts and we may be granted common stock warrants by lessees when structuring lease transactions, which are considered to be derivative instruments. The primary risks related to our use of derivative instruments include a counterparty to a hedging arrangement defaulting on its obligation and a downgrade in the credit quality of a counterparty to such an extent that our ability to sell or assign our side of the hedging transaction is impaired. While we seek to mitigate these risks by entering into hedging arrangements with large financial institutions that we deem to be creditworthy, it is possible that our hedging transactions, which are intended to limit losses, could adversely affect our earnings. Furthermore, if we terminate a hedging arrangement, we may be obligated to pay certain costs, such as transaction or breakage fees. We have established policies and procedures for risk assessment and the approval, reporting, and monitoring of derivative financial instrument activities.
 
We measure derivative instruments at fair value and record them as assets or liabilities, depending on our rights or obligations under the applicable derivative contract. Derivatives that are not designated as hedges must be adjusted to fair value through earnings. For a derivative designated and that qualified as a cash flow hedge, the effective portion of the change in fair value of the derivative is recognized in Other comprehensive income (loss) until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. For a derivative designated and that qualified as a net investment hedge, the effective portion of the change in its fair value and/or the net settlement of the derivative are reported in Other comprehensive income (loss) as part of the cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment. Amounts are reclassified out of Other comprehensive income (loss) into earnings when the hedged investment is either sold or substantially liquidated. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of any derivative is immediately recognized in earnings.

All derivative transactions with an individual counterparty are governed by a master International Swap and Derivatives Association agreement, which can be considered as a master netting arrangement; however, we report all our derivative instruments on a gross basis on our consolidated financial statements. At both March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, no cash collateral had been posted or received for any of our derivative positions.

Interest Rate Swaps and Caps

We are exposed to the impact of interest rate changes primarily through our borrowing activities. To limit this exposure, we attempt to obtain mortgage financing on a long-term, fixed-rate basis. However, from time to time, we or our investment partners may obtain non-recourse variable-rate mortgage loans and, as a result, may enter into interest rate swap agreements or interest rate cap agreements with counterparties. Interest rate swaps, which effectively convert the variable-rate debt service obligations of a loan to a fixed rate, are agreements in which one party exchanges a stream of interest payments for a counterparty’s stream of cash flow over a specific period. The notional, or face, amount on which the swaps are based is not exchanged. Interest rate caps limit the effective borrowing rate of variable-rate debt obligations while allowing participants to share in downward shifts in interest rates. Our objective in using these derivatives is to limit our exposure to interest rate movements.
 
The interest rate swaps and caps that our consolidated subsidiaries had outstanding at March 31, 2016 are summarized as follows (currency in thousands):

Foreign Currency Contracts and Collars
 
We are exposed to foreign currency exchange rate movements, primarily in the euro and, to a lesser extent, the Norwegian krone and the British pound sterling. We manage foreign currency exchange rate movements by generally placing our debt service obligation on an investment in the same currency as the tenant’s rental obligation to us. This reduces our overall exposure to the net cash flow from that investment. However, we are subject to foreign currency exchange rate movements to the extent that there is a difference in the timing and amount of the rental obligation and the debt service. Realized and unrealized gains and losses recognized in earnings related to foreign currency transactions are included in Other income and (expenses) in the consolidated financial statements.

In order to hedge certain of our foreign currency cash flow exposures, we enter into foreign currency forward contracts and collars. A foreign currency forward contract is a commitment to deliver a certain amount of currency at a certain price on a specific date in the future. By entering into forward contracts and holding them to maturity, we are locked into a future currency exchange rate for the term of the contract. A foreign currency collar guarantees that the exchange rate of the currency will not fluctuate beyond the range of the options’ strike prices and consists of a written call option and a purchased put option to sell the foreign currency. These instruments lock the range in which a foreign currency exchange rate may fluctuate. Our foreign currency forward contracts and foreign currency collars have maturities of 76 months or less.

Credit Risk-Related Contingent Features

We measure our credit exposure on a counterparty basis as the net positive aggregate estimated fair value of our derivatives, net of any collateral received. No collateral was received as of March 31, 2016. At March 31, 2016, our total credit exposure was $4.8 million and the maximum exposure to any single counterparty was $2.9 million.

Some of the agreements we have with our derivative counterparties contain cross-default provisions that could trigger a declaration of default on our derivative obligations if we default, or are capable of being declared in default, on certain of our indebtedness. At March 31, 2016, we had not been declared in default on any of our derivative obligations. The estimated fair value of our derivatives in a net liability position was $3.6 million and $1.6 million at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, which included accrued interest and any nonperformance risk adjustments. If we had breached any of these provisions at March 31, 2016 or December 31, 2015, we could have been required to settle our obligations under these agreements at their aggregate termination value of $3.9 million and $1.7 million, respectively.

Note 10. Non-Recourse Debt and Bonds Payable

Debt consists of non-recourse mortgage notes and bonds payable, which are collateralized by the assignment of real estate properties with an aggregate carrying value of $1.5 billion and $1.4 billion at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. At March 31, 2016, our debt bore interest at fixed annual rates ranging from 1.6% to 5.8% and variable contractual annual rates ranging from 1.8% to 5.1%, with maturity dates from 2017 to 2039.

During the three months ended March 31, 2016, we obtained two new non-recourse mortgage financings totaling $63.0 million, with a weighted-average annual interest rate of 4.80% and term of ten years, of which $59.6 million related to investments acquired during 2015 and $3.4 million related to investments acquired during the current year.

(a)
In accordance with ASU 2015-03, we reclassified deferred financing costs from Other assets, net to Non-recourse debt, net and Bonds payable, net as of December 31, 2015 (Note 3).

Certain amounts in the table above are based on the applicable foreign currency exchange rate at March 31, 2016. The carrying value of our Non-recourse debt, net and Bonds, net payable increased by $16.9 million from December 31, 2015 to March 31, 2016, due to the weakening of the U.S. dollar relative to foreign currencies during the same period.

Note 11. Commitments and Contingencies

At March 31, 2016, we were not involved in any material litigation. Various claims and lawsuits arising in the normal course of business are pending against us. The results of these proceedings are not expected to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations. See Note 5 for unfunded construction commitments.

___________
(a)
As discussed in Note 3, we revised our consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2015.

The allocation of Net loss attributable to CPA®:18 – Global is calculated based on the basic and diluted weighted-average shares outstanding for Class A and Class C common stock for each respective period. For the three months ended March 31, 2016, the allocation for Class A common stock excludes $0.1 million of interest expense related to the accretion of interest on our annual distribution and shareholder servicing fee liability, which is only applicable to Class C common stock (Note 4). For the three months ended March 31, 2015, the allocation for Class A common stock excludes the annual distribution and shareholder servicing fee of $0.5 million, which is only allocated to Class C common stock (Note 4).

Distributions

During the first quarter of 2016, our board of directors declared quarterly distributions of $0.1563 per share for our Class A common stock and $0.1337 per share for our Class C common stock for the quarter ending March 31, 2016. Distributions in the aggregate amount of $20.3 million were paid on April 15, 2016 to stockholders of record on March 31, 2016.

Distributions are declared at the discretion of our board of directors and are not guaranteed. Until we fully invest the net proceeds of our initial public offering, we expect that a significant portion of our distributions will be paid primarily from offering proceeds, which reduces amounts available to invest in properties and could lower our overall return.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
 
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is intended to provide the reader with information that will assist in understanding our financial statements and the reasons for changes in certain key components of our financial statements from period to period. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations also provides the reader with our perspective on our financial position and liquidity, as well as certain other factors that may affect our future results. Our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with the 2015 Annual Report.

Business Overview

As described in more detail in Item 1 of the 2015 Annual Report, we are a publicly-owned, non-listed REIT that invests primarily in commercial properties leased to companies domestically and internationally. As opportunities arise, we also make other types of commercial real estate-related investments, which includes our self-storage and multi-family investments. As a REIT, we are not subject to U.S. federal income taxation as long as we satisfy certain requirements, principally relating to the nature of our income, the level of our distributions, and other factors. We earn revenue principally by leasing the properties we own to single corporate tenants, primarily on a triple-net lease basis, which requires the tenant to pay substantially all of the costs associated with operating and maintaining the property. Revenue is subject to fluctuation because of the timing of new lease transactions, lease terminations, lease expirations, contractual rent adjustments, tenant defaults, sales of properties, and foreign currency exchange rates. We commenced operations in May 2013 and are managed by our Advisor. We hold substantially all of our assets and conduct substantially all of our business through the Operating Partnership. We are the general partner of, and own 99.97% of the interests in, the Operating Partnership. The remaining interest in the Operating Partnership is held by a subsidiary of WPC.

Significant Developments

Net Asset Value

Our Advisor calculated our initial NAV as of December 31, 2015 and determined that the NAV for both our Class A and Class C common stock was $7.90. Our Advisor calculates our NAV by relying in part on an estimate of the fair market value of our real estate provided by a third party, adjusted to give effect to the estimated fair value of mortgage loans encumbering our assets (also provided by a third party), as well as other adjustments. Our NAV is based on a number of variables, including individual tenant credits, lease terms, lending credit spreads, foreign currency exchange rates, tenant defaults, and development projects that are not yet generating income, among others. The majority of our costs associated with development projects is included in Real estate under construction in our consolidated financial statements and approximates $173.8 million as of March 31, 2016. We do not control all of these variables and, as such, cannot predict how they will change in the future. For additional information on the calculation of our NAV at December 31, 2015, please see our Current Report on Form 8-K dated March 14, 2016.

Investment and Financing Activity

During the three months ended March 31, 2016, we acquired four new investments for an aggregate amount of $90.2 million and obtained mortgage financing of $63.0 million.

Subsequent to March 31, 2016 and through the date of this Report, we purchased five additional properties totaling approximately $48.5 million (excluding acquisition costs) and obtained $27.9 million of new financing.

Board of Directors Change

On March 17, 2016, our board of directors appointed Mark J. DeCesaris, our Chief Executive Officer and president, to serve as a member of the board of directors. Mr. DeCesaris is also Chief Executive Officer and director of WPC.

Portfolio Overview

We intend to continue to acquire a diversified portfolio of income-producing commercial real estate properties and other real estate-related assets. We expect to make these investments both domestically and internationally. Portfolio information is provided on a consolidated basis to facilitate the review of our accompanying consolidated financial statements. In addition, we provide selected information on a pro rata basis to better illustrate the economic impact of our various net-leased, jointly-owned investments. See Terms and Definitions below for a description of pro rata amounts.

Terms and Definitions

Pro Rata Metrics — The portfolio information above contains certain metrics prepared under the pro rata consolidation method. We refer to these metrics as pro rata metrics. We have a number of investments, usually with our affiliates, in which our economic ownership is less than 100%. Under the full consolidation method, we report 100% of the assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses of those investments that are deemed to be under our control or for which we are deemed to be the primary beneficiary, even if our ownership is less than 100%. Also, for all other jointly-owned investments, we report our net investment and our net income or loss from that investment. Under the pro rata consolidation method, we generally present our proportionate share, based on our economic ownership of these jointly-owned investments, of the assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses of those investments.

ABR ABR represents contractual minimum annualized base rent for our net-leased properties. ABR is not applicable to operating properties.

We consider the performance metrics listed above, including Funds from (used in) operations, or FFO, and Modified funds from operations, or MFFO, and Adjusted modified funds from operations, or Adjusted MFFO, which are supplemental measures that are not defined by GAAP, or non-GAAP measures, to be important measures in the evaluation of our results of operations and capital resources. We evaluate our results of operations with a primary focus on the ability to generate cash flow necessary to meet our objective of funding distributions to stockholders. See Supplemental Financial Measures below for our definitions of these non-GAAP measures and reconciliations to their most directly comparable GAAP measures.

Total revenues, Net loss attributable to CPA®:18 – Global, Net cash provided by operating activities, FFO, MFFO, and Adjusted MFFO improved for the three months ended March 31, 2016 as compared to the same period in 2015, primarily reflecting the impact of our investments acquired or placed into service during 2016 and 2015.

Results of Operations

We evaluate our results of operations with a primary focus on our ability to generate cash flow necessary to meet our objectives of funding distributions to stockholders and increasing the value of our real estate investments. As a result, our assessment of operating results gives less emphasis to the effect of unrealized gains and losses, which may cause fluctuations in net income for comparable periods but have no impact on cash flows, and to other non-cash charges, such as depreciation and impairment charges.

Lease Composition and Leasing Activities

As of March 31, 2016, approximately 54.7% of our leases, based on consolidated ABR, provide for adjustments based on formulas indexed to changes in the U.S. CPI, or similar indices for the jurisdiction in which the property is located, some of which have caps and/or floors. In addition, 37.8% of our leases on that same basis have fixed rent adjustments, for which consolidated ABR is scheduled to increase by an average of 2.3% in the next 12 months. We own international investments and, therefore, lease revenues from these investments are subject to exchange rate fluctuations in various foreign currencies, primarily the euro.

The following discussion presents a summary of rents on existing properties arising from leases with new tenants and renewed leases with existing tenants for the periods presented and, therefore, does not include new acquisitions for our portfolio during the periods presented.

During the three months ended March 31, 2016, we signed two such leases totaling 21,203 square feet of leased space. Both leases were with new tenants on existing properties. The average new rent for these leases is $20.73 per square foot. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, we did not enter into any new leases or modify any existing leases.


CPA®:18 – Global 3/31/2016 10-Q 38




Property Level Contribution

Property level contribution includes lease and operating property revenues, less property expenses, and depreciation and amortization. When a property is leased on a net-lease basis, reimbursable tenant costs are recorded as both income and property expense and, therefore, have no impact on the property level contribution. The following table presents the property level contribution for our consolidated net-leased and operating properties, as well as a reconciliation to our net operating income (in thousands):

Existing Net-Leased Properties

Existing net-leased properties are those we acquired prior to January 1, 2015 and were not sold during the periods presented. For the periods presented, there were 42 existing net-leased properties.

For the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to the same period in 2015, property level contribution for existing net-leased properties decreased by $0.8 million, primarily due to the decrease of the average exchange rate of the U.S. dollar in relation to foreign currencies (primarily the euro) during the current year period compared to the prior year period, which affected lease revenues, property expenses, and depreciation and amortization.

Recently Acquired Net-Leased Properties

Recently acquired net-leased properties are those that we acquired or placed into service subsequent to December 31, 2014.

For the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to the same period in 2015, property level contribution from recently acquired net-leased properties increased by $3.4 million, primarily as a result of the 13 properties acquired or placed into service after March 31, 2015.

Properties Sold

In August 2015, we sold five industrial facilities back to subsidiaries of Crowne Group Inc., which were previously classified as Net investments in direct financing leases in the consolidated financial statements. These dispositions were made as a result of the tenants exercising their purchase options. For the three months ended March 31, 2015, property level contribution from these properties was $0.7 million.
 
Operating Properties

For three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to the same period in 2015, property level contribution from operating properties increased by $0.6 million. The increase was primarily due the 41 operating properties we acquired after March 31, 2015. In addition, the occupancy rate for self-storage properties increased from 87.5% at March 31, 2015 to 88.3% at March 31, 2016.

For the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to the same period in 2015, asset management fees increased by $1.0 million, due to the growth in our investment volume since March 31, 2015, which increased the asset base from which our Advisor earns a fee.

General and Administrative

For the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to the same period in 2015, general and administrative expenses increased by $0.2 million, primarily due to an increase in personnel and overhead reimbursement costs of $0.6 million, partially offset by a decrease in broker dealer expense of $0.5 million. The increases in personnel and overhead expenses were a result of increased revenues, which had a direct impact on the costs allocated to us by our Advisor under the advisory agreement (Note 4). The decrease in broker dealer costs was attributable to the change in accounting treatment for the annual distribution and shareholder servicing fee in connection with our Class C common stock. Prior to the fourth quarter of 2015, we recorded the annual distribution and shareholder servicing fee within General and administrative expenses in our consolidated financial statements. As of December 31, 2015, the estimated future costs of such expenses have been included as a liability with an offset to additional paid-in capital. The liability is reduced as payments are made.

Acquisition Expenses

For the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to the same period in 2015, acquisition expenses decreased by $4.7 million, primarily due to a decrease in investment volume for acquisitions that were deemed to be business combinations.

Interest Expense

Our interest expense is directly impacted by the mortgage and bond financing obtained or assumed in connection with our investing activity. During the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, we obtained new financing of $63.0 million and $182.1 million, respectively.

For the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to the same period in 2015, interest expense increased by $2.3 million, primarily due to an increase in mortgage and bond financing obtained or assumed in connection with our investing activity since March 31, 2015.

Other Income and (Expenses)

Other income and (expenses) primarily consists of gains and losses on foreign currency transactions, derivative instruments, and extinguishment of debt. We make intercompany loans to a number of our foreign subsidiaries, most of which do not have the U.S. dollar as their functional currency. Remeasurement of foreign currency intercompany transactions that are scheduled for settlement, consisting primarily of accrued interest and short-term loans, are included in the determination of net income. We also recognize gains or losses on foreign currency transactions when we repatriate cash from our foreign investments or hold foreign currencies in entities with a U.S. dollar currency designation. In addition, we have certain derivative instruments, including foreign currency contracts, that are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes, for which realized and unrealized gains and losses are included in earnings. The timing and amount of such gains or losses cannot always be estimated and are subject to fluctuation.

For the three months ended March 31, 2016, we recognized net other income of $4.0 million, which was primarily comprised of realized and unrealized foreign currency transaction gains related to our international investments of $3.5 million and gains recognized on derivatives of $0.4 million.

For the three months ended March 31, 2015, we recognized net other expense of $2.5 million, which was primarily comprised of realized and unrealized foreign currency transaction losses related to our international investments of $3.4 million, partially offset by interest income received on our cash balances held with financial institutions of $0.4 million and gains recognized on derivatives of $0.3 million.

Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests

For the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to the same period in 2015, net income attributable to noncontrolling interests increased by $0.4 million, due to an increase in the distribution of available cash of the Operating Partnership, which we refer to as the Available Cash Distribution (Note 4).

Net Loss Attributable to CPA®:18 – Global

For the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to the same period in 2015, the resulting net loss attributable to CPA®:18 – Global decreased by $10.0 million.

Modified Funds from Operations and Adjusted Modified Funds from Operations

MFFO and Adjusted MFFO are non-GAAP measures that we use to evaluate our business. For a definition of MFFO and Adjusted MFFO, and a reconciliation to net loss attributable to CPA®:18 – Global, see Supplemental Financial Measures below.

For the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to the same period in 2015, MFFO and Adjusted MFFO increased by $5.4 million and $5.7 million, respectively, primarily as a result of the accretive impact of our investments acquired or placed into service after March 31, 2015.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal demands for funds will be for the acquisition of real estate and real estate related investments and the payment of acquisition-related expenses, operating expenses, interest and principal on current and future indebtedness, and distributions to stockholders. We currently expect that, for the short-term, the aforementioned cash requirements will be funded by our cash on hand, financings, and the uninvested capital remaining from our initial public offering. We raised aggregate gross proceeds in our initial public offering of approximately $1.2 billion through April 2, 2015, which is the date we closed our offering. We expect that in the future, as our portfolio grows and matures, our properties will provide sufficient cash flow to cover operating expenses and the payment of stockholder distributions.

Our liquidity would be adversely affected by unanticipated costs and greater-than-anticipated operating expenses. To the extent that our working capital reserve is insufficient to satisfy our cash requirements, additional funds may be provided from cash generated from operations or through short-term borrowings. In addition, we may incur indebtedness in connection with the acquisition of real estate, refinance the debt thereon, arrange for the leveraging of any previously unfinanced property, or reinvest the proceeds of financings or refinancings in additional properties.

Sources and Uses of Cash During the Period

We ceased accepting new orders for shares of Class A and Class C common stock on June 30, 2014 and March 27, 2015, respectively. We closed our initial public offering on April 2, 2015. We expect to continue to invest the proceeds of our initial public offering primarily in a diversified portfolio of income-producing commercial real estate properties and other real estate-related assets. After fully investing the capital raised through our initial public offering, we expect our primary source of operating cash flow to be generated from cash flow from our investments. We expect that these cash flows will fluctuate periodically due to a number of factors, which may include, among other things: the timing of purchases and sales of real estate; the timing of the receipt of proceeds from, and the repayment of, non-recourse mortgage loans and bonds payable, and the receipt of lease revenues; whether our Advisor receives its fees in shares of our common stock or cash or a combination of both (as elected by our board of directors after consultation with our Advisor); the timing and characterization of distributions received from equity investments in real estate; the timing of payments of the Available Cash Distributions to our Advisor; and changes in foreign currency exchange rates as we continue to invest the proceeds from our offering. Despite these fluctuations, we believe our investments will generate sufficient cash from operations to meet our normal recurring short-term and long-term liquidity needs in the future as described below. However, as we continue to invest the capital raised in our initial public offering, it may be necessary to use cash raised in that offering to fund our operating activities and distributions to our stockholders.

Operating Activities — Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $5.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2016 as compared the same period in 2015, primarily reflecting the impact of investments acquired after March 31, 2015.
 
Investing Activities — Our investing activities are generally comprised of real estate purchases, payment of deferred acquisition fees to our Advisor for asset acquisitions, and capitalized property-related costs.

Net cash used in investing activities totaled $53.3 million for three months ended March 31, 2016. This was primarily the result of cash outflows of $26.1 million for our real estate investments and $24.8 million to fund construction costs of our build-to-suit projects.

Financing Activities — Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $51.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016. This was primarily due to proceeds of $63.0 million from non-recourse mortgage financings and $10.0 million of net proceeds received through our distribution reinvestment plan. We also had cash outflows related to distributions paid totaling $20.1 million.


CPA®:18 – Global 3/31/2016 10-Q 42




Distributions

Our objectives are to generate sufficient cash flow over time to provide stockholders with distributions and to seek investments with potential for capital appreciation throughout varying economic cycles. For the three months ended March 31, 2016, we paid distributions to stockholders of $20.1 million, which were comprised of $9.4 million of cash distributions and $10.7 million reinvested by stockholders in shares of our common stock pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan. From inception through March 31, 2016, we have declared distributions to stockholders totaling $154.0 million, which were comprised of cash distributions of $71.9 million and $82.1 million reinvested by stockholders in shares of our common stock pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan. We believe that FFO, a non-GAAP measure, is the most appropriate metric to evaluate our ability to fund distributions to stockholders. For a discussion of FFO, see Supplemental Financial Measures below.

Over the life of our company, the regular quarterly cash distributions we pay are expected to be principally sourced from our FFO or cash flow from operations. However, we have funded a portion of our cash distributions to date using net proceeds from our initial public offering and there can be no assurance that our FFO or cash flow from operations will be sufficient to cover our future distributions. Our distribution coverage using FFO was approximately 83.4% and 13.3% of total distributions declared for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and on a cumulative basis through that date, respectively, with the balance funded with proceeds from our offering. Our distribution coverage using cash flow from operations was approximately 91.6% and 38.2% of total distributions declared for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and on a cumulative basis through that date, respectively, with the balance funded with proceeds from our offering. FFO and cash flow from operations are first applied to current period distributions, then to any deficit from prior period cumulative negative FFO or cumulative negative cash flow, as applicable, and finally to future period distributions. Until we have fully invested the proceeds of our offering, we expect that in the future, if distributions cannot be fully sourced from FFO or cash flow from operations, they may be sourced from the proceeds of financings or the sales of assets with any remainder to be funded by the uninvested proceeds from our offering.

Redemptions

We maintain a quarterly redemption program pursuant to which we may, at the discretion of our board of directors, redeem shares of our common stock from stockholders seeking liquidity. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, we received 49 and 11 requests to redeem 115,466 and 150,833 shares of Class A and Class C common stock, respectively, all of which were redeemed in the first quarter of 2016, at a weighted-average price of $8.15 and $8.38 per share, respectively, net of redemption fees, totaling $2.2 million for both Class A and Class C common stock. Except for redemptions sought in special circumstances, the redemption price of the shares listed above were 95% of our most recently published NAV. In determining our distribution policy during the periods in which we are investing capital, we place primary emphasis on projections of cash flow from operations, together with cash distributions from our unconsolidated investments, rather than on historical results of operations (though these and other factors may be a part of our consideration). Thus, in a distribution rate, we focus primarily on expected returns from those investments we have already made, as well as our anticipated rate of return from future investments, to assess the sustainability of a particular distribution rate over time.

Cash Resources
 
At March 31, 2016, our cash resources consisted of cash and cash equivalents totaling $135.4 million. Of this amount, $41.9 million, at then-current exchange rates, was held in foreign subsidiaries, but we could be subject to restrictions or significant costs should we decide to repatriate these amounts. We also had unleveraged properties that had an aggregate carrying value of $239.7 million at March 31, 2016, although there can be no assurance that we would be able to obtain financing for these properties on satisfactory terms, if at all. Our cash resources may be used for future investments and can be used for working capital needs, other commitments, and distributions to our stockholders.
 
Cash Requirements
 
During the next 12 months, we expect that our cash requirements will include payments to acquire new investments, funding capital commitments such as build-to-suit projects, paying distributions to our stockholders and to our affiliates that hold noncontrolling interests in entities we control, making share repurchases pursuant to our redemption plan, and making any scheduled mortgage interest and principal payments, as well as other normal recurring operating expenses. We expect to fund $176.5 million related to capital and other lease commitments during the next 12 months. We expect to fund future investments, capital commitments, any capital expenditures on existing properties, and scheduled and unscheduled debt payments on our mortgage loans through the use of our cash reserves, cash generated from operations, and financing.

__________
(a)
Represents the non-recourse debt and bonds payable that we obtained in connection with our investments. At March 31, 2016, this excludes $1.8 million of unamortized premium and $9.3 million of deferred financing costs, which was included in either Non-recourse debt, net and/or Bonds payable, net (Note 3).
(b)
Capital commitments include our current build-to-suit projects of $215.2 million (Note 5) and $0.1 million related to other construction commitments.
(c)
Represents deferred acquisition fees due to our Advisor as a result of our acquisitions. These fees are scheduled to be paid in three equal annual installments from the date of each respective acquisition.
(d)
Other lease commitments consist of rental obligations under ground leases and our share of future rents payable pursuant to the advisory agreement for the purpose of leasing office space used for the administration of real estate entities. Amounts are allocated among WPC, the CPA® REITs, CWI 1, and CWI 2 (Note 4).
(e)
Represents the estimated liability for the present value of the remaining annual distribution and shareholder servicing fee payable to Carey Financial (Note 4).
(f)
Represents the amount of future obligations estimated for the removal of asbestos and environmental waste in connection with certain of our acquisitions, payable upon the retirement or sale of the assets.

Amounts in the table above that relate to our foreign operations are based on the exchange rate of the local currencies at March 31, 2016, which consisted primarily of the euro and Norwegian krone and, to a lesser extent, the British pound sterling. At March 31, 2016, we had no material capital lease obligations for which we were the lessee, either individually or in the aggregate.

Equity Method Investment

We have an interest in an unconsolidated investment that relates to a joint venture for the development of two self-storage facilities. This investment is jointly-owned with a third party, which is also the general partner. At March 31, 2016, the total net asset balance for these properties was $11.1 million, which includes third-party recourse debt of $4.8 million.

Supplemental Financial Measures

In the real estate industry, analysts and investors employ certain non-GAAP supplemental financial measures in order to facilitate meaningful comparisons between periods and among peer companies. Additionally, in the formulation of our goals and in the evaluation of the effectiveness of our strategies, we use FFO, MFFO and Adjusted MFFO, which are non-GAAP measures. We believe that these measures are useful to investors to consider because they may assist them to better understand and measure the performance of our business over time and against similar companies. A description of FFO, MFFO and Adjusted MFFO and reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures are provided below.


CPA®:18 – Global 3/31/2016 10-Q 45




FFO, MFFO and Adjusted MFFO

Due to certain unique operating characteristics of real estate companies, as discussed below, the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, Inc., or NAREIT, an industry trade group, has promulgated a non-GAAP measure known as FFO which we believe to be an appropriate supplemental measure, when used in addition to and in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP, to reflect the operating performance of a REIT. The use of FFO is recommended by the REIT industry as a supplemental non-GAAP measure. FFO is not equivalent to nor a substitute for net income or loss as determined under GAAP.

We define FFO, a non-GAAP measure, consistent with the standards established by the White Paper on FFO approved by the Board of Governors of NAREIT, as revised in February 2004. The White Paper defines FFO as net income or loss computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains or losses from sales of property, impairment charges on real estate, and depreciation and amortization from real estate assets; and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and jointly-owned investments. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and jointly-owned investments are calculated to reflect FFO. Our FFO calculation complies with NAREIT’s policy described above. However, NAREIT’s definition of FFO does not distinguish between the conventional method of equity accounting and the hypothetical liquidation at book value method of accounting for unconsolidated partnerships and jointly-owned investments.

The historical accounting convention used for real estate assets requires straight-line depreciation of buildings and improvements, which implies that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time, especially if such assets are not adequately maintained or repaired and renovated as required by relevant circumstances and/or is requested or required by lessees for operational purposes in order to maintain the value disclosed. We believe that, since real estate values historically rise and fall with market conditions, including inflation, interest rates, the business cycle, unemployment, and consumer spending, presentations of operating results for a REIT using historical accounting for depreciation may be less informative. Historical accounting for real estate involves the use of GAAP. Any other method of accounting for real estate such as the fair value method cannot be construed to be any more accurate or relevant than the comparable methodologies of real estate valuation found in GAAP. Nevertheless, we believe that the use of FFO, which excludes the impact of real estate-related depreciation and amortization, as well as impairment charges of real estate-related assets, provides a more complete understanding of our performance to investors and to management; and when compared year over year, reflects the impact on our operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, general and administrative expenses, and interest costs, which may not be immediately apparent from net income. In particular, we believe it is appropriate to disregard impairment charges, as this is a fair value adjustment that is largely based on market fluctuations and assessments regarding general market conditions, which can change over time. An asset will only be evaluated for impairment if certain impairment indicators exist. Then a two-step process is performed, of which first is to determine whether an asset is impaired by comparing the carrying value, or book value, to the total estimated undiscounted future cash flows (including net rental and lease revenues, net proceeds on the sale of the property, and any other ancillary cash flows at a property or group level under GAAP) from such asset, then measure the impairment loss as the excess of the carrying value over its estimated fair value. It should be noted, however, that determinations of whether impairment charges have been incurred are based partly on anticipated operating performance, because estimated undiscounted future cash flows from a property (including estimated future net rental and lease revenues, net proceeds on the sale of the property, and certain other ancillary cash flows) are taken into account in determining whether an impairment charge has been incurred. While impairment charges are excluded from the calculation of FFO described above due to the fact that impairments are based on estimated future undiscounted cash flows, it could be difficult to recover any impairment charges. However, FFO, MFFO and Adjusted MFFO, as described below, should not be construed to be more relevant or accurate than the current GAAP methodology in calculating net income or in its applicability in evaluating the operating performance of the company. The method utilized to evaluate the value and performance of real estate under GAAP should be construed as a more relevant measure of operational performance and considered more prominently than the non-GAAP measures FFO, MFFO and Adjusted MFFO and the adjustments to GAAP in calculating FFO, MFFO and Adjusted MFFO.

Changes in the accounting and reporting promulgations under GAAP (for acquisition fees and expenses from a capitalization/depreciation model to an expensed-as-incurred model) were put into effect in 2009. These changes to GAAP accounting for real estate subsequent to the establishment of NAREIT’s definition of FFO have prompted an increase in cash-settled expenses, such as acquisition fees that are typically accounted for as operating expenses. Management believes these fees and expenses do not affect our overall long-term operating performance. Publicly-registered, non-listed REITs typically have a significant amount of acquisition activity and are substantially more dynamic during their initial years of investment and operation. While other start-up entities may also experience significant acquisition activity during their initial years, we believe that non-listed REITs are unique in that they have a limited life with targeted exit strategies within a relatively limited time frame after acquisition activity ceases. We currently intend to begin the process of achieving a liquidity event (i.e., listing of our common

CPA®:18 – Global 3/31/2016 10-Q 46




stock on a national exchange, a merger or sale of our assets, or another similar transaction) beginning in April 2022, which is seven years following the closing of our initial public offering. Due to the above factors and other unique features of publicly registered, non-listed REITs, the Investment Program Association, an industry trade group, has standardized a measure known as MFFO, which the Investment Program Association has recommended as a supplemental measure for publicly-registered non-listed REITs and which we believe to be another appropriate non-GAAP measure to reflect the operating performance of a non-listed REIT having the characteristics described above. MFFO is not equivalent to our net income or loss as determined under GAAP, and MFFO may not be a useful measure of the impact of long-term operating performance on value if we do not continue to operate with a limited life and targeted exit strategy, as currently intended. We believe that, because MFFO excludes costs that we consider more reflective of investing activities and other non-operating items included in FFO, and also excludes acquisition fees and expenses that affect our operations only in periods in which properties are acquired, MFFO can provide, on a going forward basis, an indication of the sustainability (that is, the capacity to continue to be maintained) of our operating performance after the period in which we are acquiring properties and once our portfolio is in place. By providing MFFO, we believe we are presenting useful information that assists investors and analysts to better assess the sustainability of our operating performance now that our initial public offering has been completed and once essentially all of our properties have been acquired. We also believe that MFFO is a recognized measure of sustainable operating performance by the non-listed REIT industry. Further, we believe MFFO is useful in comparing the sustainability of our operating performance, with the sustainability of the operating performance of other real estate companies that are not as involved in acquisition activities. MFFO should only be used to assess the sustainability of a company’s operating performance after a company’s offering has been completed and properties have been acquired, as it excludes acquisition costs that have a negative effect on a company’s operating performance during the periods in which properties are acquired.

We define MFFO, a non-GAAP measure, consistent with the Investment Program Association’s Guideline 2010-01, Supplemental Performance Measure for Publicly Registered, Non-Listed REITs: Modified Funds from Operations, or the Practice Guideline, issued by the Investment Program Association in November 2010. The Practice Guideline defines MFFO as FFO further adjusted for the following items, included in the determination of GAAP net income, as applicable: acquisition fees and expenses; amounts relating to deferred rent receivables and amortization of above- and below-market leases and liabilities (which are adjusted in order to reflect such payments from a GAAP accrual basis to a cash basis of disclosing the rent and lease payments); accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums on debt investments; nonrecurring impairments of real estate-related investments (i.e., infrequent or unusual, not reasonably likely to recur in the ordinary course of business); mark-to-market adjustments included in net income; nonrecurring gains or losses included in net income from the extinguishment or sale of debt, hedges, foreign exchange, derivatives, or securities holdings, where trading of such holdings is not a fundamental attribute of the business plan, unrealized gains or losses resulting from consolidation from, or deconsolidation to, equity accounting, and after adjustments for consolidated and unconsolidated partnerships and jointly-owned investments, with such adjustments calculated to reflect MFFO on the same basis. The accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums on debt investments, unrealized gains and losses on hedges, foreign exchange, derivatives or securities holdings, unrealized gains and losses resulting from consolidations, as well as other listed cash flow adjustments are adjustments made to net income in calculating the cash flows provided by operating activities and, in some cases, reflect gains or losses that are unrealized and may not ultimately be realized.

Our MFFO calculation complies with the Investment Program Association’s Practice Guideline described above. In calculating MFFO, we exclude acquisition-related expenses, amortization of above- and below-market leases, fair value adjustments of derivative financial instruments, deferred rent receivables, and the adjustments of such items related to noncontrolling interests. Under GAAP, acquisition fees and expenses are characterized as operating expenses in determining operating net income. These expenses are paid in cash by a company. All paid and accrued acquisition fees and expenses will have negative effects on returns to investors, the potential for future distributions, and cash flows generated by the company, unless earnings from operations or net sales proceeds from the disposition of other properties are generated to cover the purchase price of the property, these fees and expenses, and other costs related to such property. Further, under GAAP, certain contemplated non-cash fair value and other non-cash adjustments are considered operating non-cash adjustments to net income in determining cash flow from operating activities.

Our management uses MFFO and the adjustments used to calculate it in order to evaluate our performance against other non-listed REITs, which have limited lives with short and defined acquisition periods and targeted exit strategies shortly thereafter. As noted above, MFFO may not be a useful measure of the impact of long-term operating performance on value if we do not continue to operate in this manner. We believe that MFFO and the adjustments used to calculate it allow us to present our performance in a manner that takes into account certain characteristics unique to non-listed REITs, such as their limited life, defined acquisition period, and targeted exit strategy, and is therefore a useful measure for investors. For example, acquisition costs are generally funded from the proceeds of our offering and other financing sources and not from operations. By excluding expensed acquisition costs, the use of MFFO provides information consistent with management’s analysis of the operating

CPA®:18 – Global 3/31/2016 10-Q 47




performance of the properties. Additionally, fair value adjustments, which are based on the impact of current market fluctuations and underlying assessments of general market conditions, but can also result from operational factors such as rental and occupancy rates, may not be directly related or attributable to our current operating performance. By excluding such changes that may reflect anticipated and unrealized gains or losses, we believe MFFO provides useful supplemental information.

In addition, our management uses an adjusted MFFO, Adjusted MFFO, as another measure of sustainable operating performance. Adjusted MFFO adjusts MFFO for deferred income tax expenses and benefits, which are non-cash items that may cause short-term fluctuations in net income but have no impact on current period cash flows. Additionally, we adjust MFFO to reflect the realized gains/losses on the settlement of foreign currency derivatives to arrive at Adjusted MFFO. Foreign currency derivatives are a fundamental part of our operations in that they help us manage the foreign currency exposure we have associated with cash flows from our international investments.

Presentation of this information is intended to provide useful information to investors as they compare the operating performance of different REITs, although it should be noted that not all REITs calculate FFO, MFFO and Adjusted MFFO the same way, so comparisons with other REITs may not be meaningful. Furthermore, FFO, MFFO and Adjusted MFFO are not necessarily indicative of cash flow available to fund cash needs and should not be considered as an alternative to net income as an indication of our performance, as an alternative to cash flows from operations as an indication of our liquidity, or indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs including our ability to make distributions to our stockholders. FFO, MFFO and Adjusted MFFO should be reviewed in conjunction with other GAAP measurements as an indication of our performance.

Neither the SEC, NAREIT, nor any other regulatory body has passed judgment on the acceptability of the adjustments that we use to calculate FFO, MFFO and Adjusted MFFO. In the future, the SEC, NAREIT, or another regulatory body may decide to standardize the allowable adjustments across the non-listed REIT industry and we would have to adjust our calculation and characterization of FFO, MFFO or Adjusted MFFO accordingly.

__________
(a)
As discussed in Note 2, during the second quarter of 2015, we discovered an error related to the capitalization of financing costs associated with the refinancing of a mortgage loan related to our consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2015. We corrected this error and revised our consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2015, including presentation of FFO and MFFO. This error resulted in a $0.9 million increase to each of Net loss attributable to CPA®:18 – Global and FFO attributable to CPA®:18 – Global, but had no impact on MFFO attributable to CPA®:18 – Global for the three months ended March 31, 2015.
(b)
In evaluating investments in real estate, management differentiates the costs to acquire the investment from the operations derived from the investment. Such information would be comparable only for non-listed REITs that have completed their acquisition activity and have other similar operating characteristics. By excluding expensed acquisition costs and amortization of deferred acquisition fees, management believes MFFO provides useful supplemental information that is comparable for each type of real estate investment and is consistent with management’s analysis of the investing and operating performance of our properties. Acquisition fees and expenses include payments to our Advisor or third parties. Acquisition fees and expenses under GAAP are considered operating expenses and as expenses included in the determination of net income (loss) and income (loss) from continuing operations, both of which are performance measures under GAAP. All paid and accrued acquisition fees and expenses will have negative effects on returns to stockholders, the potential for future distributions, and cash flows generated by us, unless earnings from operations or net sales proceeds from the disposition of properties are generated to cover the purchase price of the property, these fees and expenses, and other costs related to the property.
(c)
Under GAAP, rental receipts are allocated to periods using an accrual basis. This may result in timing of income recognition that is significantly different than underlying contract terms. By adjusting for these items (to reflect such payments from a GAAP accrual basis to a cash basis of disclosing the rent and lease payments), management believes that MFFO provides useful supplemental information on the realized economic impact of lease terms and debt investments, provides insight on the contractual cash flows of such lease terms and debt investments, and aligns results with management’s analysis of operating performance.

CPA®:18 – Global 3/31/2016 10-Q 49




(d)
Under GAAP, certain intangibles are accounted for at cost and reviewed at least annually for impairment, and certain intangibles are assumed to diminish predictably in value over time and amortized, similar to depreciation and amortization of other real estate related assets that are excluded from FFO. However, because real estate values and market lease rates historically rise or fall with market conditions, management believes that by excluding charges relating to amortization of these intangibles, MFFO provides useful supplemental information on the performance of the real estate.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Market Risk

Market risk is the exposure to loss resulting from changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, and equity prices. The primary risks that we are exposed to are interest rate risk and foreign currency exchange risk. We are also exposed to further market risk as a result of tenant concentrations in certain industries and/or geographic regions, since adverse market factors can affect the ability of tenants in a particular industry/region to meet their respective lease obligations. In order to manage this risk, our Advisor views our collective tenant roster as a portfolio and attempts to diversify such portfolio so that we are not overexposed to a particular industry or geographic region.

Generally, we do not use derivative instruments to hedge credit/market risks or for speculative purposes. However, from time to time, we may enter into foreign currency forward contracts to hedge our foreign currency cash flow exposures.

Interest Rate Risk
 
The values of our real estate, related fixed-rate debt obligations, and note receivable investments are subject to fluctuations based on changes in interest rates. The value of our real estate is also subject to fluctuations based on local and regional economic conditions and changes in the creditworthiness of lessees, which may affect our ability to refinance property-level mortgage debt when balloon payments are scheduled, if we do not choose to repay the debt when due. Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors, including governmental monetary and tax policies, domestic and international economic and political conditions, and other factors beyond our control. An increase in interest rates would likely cause the fair value of our assets to decrease. Increases in interest rates may also have an impact on the credit profile of certain tenants.
 
We are exposed to the impact of interest rate changes primarily through our borrowing activities. To limit this exposure, we have historically attempted to obtain non-recourse mortgage financing on a long-term, fixed-rate basis. However, from time to time, we or our joint investment partners have obtained, and may in the future obtain, variable-rate non-recourse mortgage loans, and, as a result, we have entered into, and may continue to enter into, interest rate swap agreements or interest rate cap agreements with lenders. Interest rate swap agreements effectively convert the variable-rate debt service obligations of a loan to a fixed rate, while interest rate cap agreements limit the underlying interest rate from exceeding a specified strike rate. Interest rate swaps are agreements in which one party exchanges a stream of interest payments for a counterparty’s stream of cash flows over a specific period, and interest rate caps limit the effective borrowing rate of variable-rate debt obligations while allowing participants to share in downward shifts in interest rates. These interest rate swaps and caps are derivative instruments that, where applicable, are designated as cash flow hedges on the forecasted interest payments on the debt obligation. The face amount on which the swaps or caps are based is not exchanged. Our objective in using these derivatives is to limit our exposure to interest rate movements. At March 31, 2016, we estimated that the total fair value of our interest rate swaps and caps, which are included in Other assets, net and Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities in the consolidated financial statements, was in a net liability position of $3.0 million (Note 9).

At March 31, 2016, our outstanding debt either bore interest at fixed rates, was swapped to a fixed rate or, in the case of one our Norwegian investments, inflation-linked to the Norwegian CPI. The annual interest rates on our fixed-rate debt at March 31, 2016 ranged from 1.6% to 5.8%. The contractual annual interest rates on our variable-rate debt at March 31, 2016 ranged from 1.8% to 5.1%. Our debt obligations are more fully described in Note 10 and Liquidity and Capital Resources – Summary of Financing in Item 2 above. The following table presents principal cash outflows for the remainder of 2016, each of the next four calendar years following December 31, 2016, and thereafter, based upon expected maturity dates of our debt obligations outstanding at March 31, 2016 (in thousands):

The estimated fair value of our fixed-rate debt and variable-rate debt, which has either been effectively converted to a fixed rate through the use of interest rate swaps or, in the case of one our Norwegian investments, is inflation-linked to the Norwegian CPI, approximated their carrying values. A decrease or increase in interest rates of 1% would change the estimated fair value of this debt at March 31, 2016 by an aggregate increase of $60.7 million or an aggregate decrease of $66.8 million, respectively. Annual interest expense on our unhedged variable-rate debt at March 31, 2016 would increase or decrease by $0.4 million for each corresponding 1% change in annual interest rates.

As more fully described under Liquidity and Capital Resources – Summary of Financing in Item 2 above, a portion of our variable-rate debt in the table above bore interest at fixed rates at March 31, 2016, but has interest rate reset features that will change the fixed interest rates to then-prevailing market fixed rates at certain points during their term. This debt is generally not subject to short-term fluctuations in interest rates.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

We own international investments, primarily in Europe, and as a result, are subject to risk from the effects of exchange rate movements in various foreign currencies, primarily the euro and the Norwegian krone and, to a lesser extent, the British pound sterling, which may affect future costs and cash flows. Although most of our foreign investments through the first quarter of 2016 were conducted in these currencies, we may conduct business in other currencies in the future. We manage foreign currency exchange rate movements by generally placing both our debt service obligation to the lender and the tenant’s rental obligation to us in the same currency. This reduces our overall exposure to the actual equity that we have invested and the equity portion of our cash flow. In addition, we may use currency hedging to further reduce the exposure to our equity cash flow. We are generally a net receiver of these currencies (we receive more cash than we pay out), therefore our foreign operations benefit from a weaker U.S. dollar and are adversely affected by a stronger U.S. dollar, relative to the foreign currency.

We have obtained, and may in the future obtain, non-recourse mortgage and bond financing in local currencies. To the extent that currency fluctuations increase or decrease rental revenues, as translated to U.S. dollars, the change in debt service, as translated to U.S. dollars, will partially offset the effect of fluctuations in revenue and, to some extent, mitigate the risk from changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

Scheduled future minimum rents, exclusive of renewals, under non-cancelable operating leases for our consolidated foreign operations as of March 31, 2016 during the remainder of 2016, each of the next four calendar years following December 31, 2016, and thereafter, are as follows (in thousands):

__________
(a)
Amounts are based on the applicable exchange rates at March 31, 2016. Contractual rents and debt obligations are denominated in the functional currency of the country where each property is located.
(b)
We estimate that, for a 1% increase or decrease in the exchange rate between the euro and the U.S. dollar, there would be a corresponding change in the projected estimated property-level cash flow at March 31, 2016 of $2.5 million.

CPA®:18 – Global 3/31/2016 10-Q 52




(c)
We estimate that, for a 1% increase or decrease in the exchange rate between the Norwegian krone and the U.S. dollar, there would be a corresponding change in the projected estimated property-level cash flow at March 31, 2016 of $0.4 million.
(d)
We estimate that, for a 1% increase or decrease in the exchange rate between the British pound sterling and the U.S. dollar, there would be an insignificant corresponding change in the projected estimated property-level cash flow at March 31, 2016.

As a result of scheduled balloon payments on certain of our international debt obligations, projected debt service obligations exceed projected lease revenues after 2020 for investments denominated in the euro and British pound sterling, and after 2020 for the Norwegian krone. We currently anticipate that, by their respective due dates, we will have refinanced certain of these loans, but there can be no assurance that we will be able to do so on favorable terms, if at all. If refinancing has not occurred, we would expect to use our cash resources to make these payments, if necessary.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Concentrations of credit risk arise when a number of tenants are engaged in similar business activities or have similar economic risks or conditions that could cause them to default on their lease obligations to us. Our portfolio is currently exposed to concentrations of credit risk as we have not yet fully invested the proceeds from our initial public offering. While we believe our portfolio is reasonably well-diversified, it does contain concentrations in excess of 10% based on the percentage of our consolidated total revenues or ABR. For the three months ended March 31, 2016, our consolidated portfolio had the following significant characteristics in excess of 10% based on the percentage of our consolidated total revenues:

66% related to domestic properties, which included concentrations of 15% and 14% in Florida and Texas, respectively; and
34% related to international properties.

At March 31, 2016, our consolidated net-leased portfolio, which excludes our operating properties, had the following significant property and lease characteristics in excess of 10% in certain areas, based on the percentage of our consolidated ABR as of that date:

42% related to domestic properties, which included a concentration in Texas of 11%;
58% related to international properties, which included a concentration in Norway of 17%;
54% related to office properties, 13% related to industrial properties, 13% related to retail properties, 12% related to warehouse properties, and 11% related to the grocery industry.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our disclosure controls and procedures include internal controls and other procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in this and other reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the required time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms; and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. It should be noted that no system of controls can provide complete assurance of achieving a company’s objectives and that future events may impact the effectiveness of a system of controls.

Our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, after conducting an evaluation, together with members of our management, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2016, have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were effective as of March 31, 2016 at a reasonable level of assurance.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

During the three months ended March 31, 2016, we issued 282,339 shares of our Class A common stock to our Advisor as consideration for asset management fees. These shares were either issued at our most recently published NAV of $7.90 per share or, prior to the first NAV being published, $10.00 per share, which is the price at which our shares of our Class A common stock were sold in our initial public offering. Since none of these transactions were considered to have involved a “public offering” within the meaning of Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, the shares issued were deemed to be exempt from registration. In acquiring our shares, our Advisor represented that such interests were being acquired by it for investment purposes and not with a view to the distribution thereof. From inception and through March 31, 2016, we have issued a total of 1,258,115 shares of our Class A common stock to our Advisor as consideration for asset management fees.

Use of Offering Proceeds

The Registration Statement (File No. 333-185111) for our initial public offering was declared effective by the SEC on May 7, 2013 and we closed the offering on April 2, 2015.
