FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Statements made by us in this report and in other reports and statements released by us that are not historical facts constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). These forward-looking statements are necessarily estimates reflecting the judgment of our senior management based on our current estimates, expectations, forecasts and projections and include comments that express our current opinions about trends and factors that may impact future operating results. Disclosures that use words such as “believe,” "may," “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “could,” “plan,” “expect,” “project” or the negative of these, as well as similar expressions, are intended to identify forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, rely on a number of assumptions concerning future events, many of which are outside of our control, and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results, performance or achievement, or industry results to differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements, expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties may include the risks and uncertainties described elsewhere in this report and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including the Item 1A. “Risk Factors” section of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. Any such forward-looking statements, whether made in this report or elsewhere, should be considered in the context of the various disclosures made by us about our businesses including, without limitation, the risk factors discussed in our filings with the SEC. Except as required under the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations of the SEC, we do not have any intention or obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, changes in assumptions, or otherwise.
Non-GAAP Measures and Certain Definitions
“KWH,” "KW," “Kennedy Wilson,” the "Company," "we," "our," or "us" refers to Kennedy-Wilson Holdings, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the results of the Company's consolidated subsidiaries (including KWE).
“KWE” refers to Kennedy Wilson Europe Real Estate plc, a London Stock Exchange-listed company that we externally manage through a wholly-owned subsidiary.  In our capacity as external manager of KWE, we are entitled to receive certain (i) management fees equal to 1% of KWE’s adjusted net asset value (EPRA NAV), half of which are paid in cash and the remainder of which is paid are KWE shares; and (ii) performance fees, all of which are paid in KWE shares.  In accordance with U.S. GAAP, the financial position and results of KWE are consolidated in our financial statements.  We own an approximately 23.65% equity interest in KWE as of March 31, 2017, and throughout this report, we refer to our pro-rata ownership stake (based on our 23.65% equity interest or weighted-average ownership interest during the period, as applicable) in investments made and held directly by KWE and its subsidiaries. 
"Acquisition-related gains" consist of non-cash gains recognized by the Company or its consolidated subsidiaries upon a GAAP -required fair value measurement due to a business combination. These gains are typically recognized when a loan is converted into consolidated real estate owned and the fair value of the underlying real estate at the time of conversion exceeds the basis in the previously held loan. These gains also arise when there is a change of control of an investment. The gain amount is based upon the fair value of the Company’s or its consolidated subsidiaries' equity in the investment in excess of the carrying amount of the equity immediately preceding the change of control. 
 “Adjusted EBITDA” represents net income before interest expense, our share of interest expense included in income from investments in unconsolidated investments, depreciation and amortization, our share of depreciation and amortization included in income from unconsolidated investments, loss on early extinguishment of corporate debt and income taxes, share-based compensation expense for the Company and EBITDA attributable to noncontrolling interests. Our management uses Adjusted EBITDA to analyze our business because it adjusts net income for items we believe do not accurately reflect the nature of our business going forward or that relate to non-cash compensation expense or noncontrolling interests. Such items may vary for different companies for reasons unrelated to overall operating performance. Additionally, we believe Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors to assist them in getting a more accurate picture of our results from operations. However, Adjusted EBITDA is not a recognized measurement under GAAP and when analyzing our operating performance, readers should use Adjusted EBITDA in addition to, and not as an alternative for, net income as determined in accordance with GAAP. Because not all companies use identical calculations, our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Furthermore, Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to be a measure of free cash flow for our management’s discretionary use, as it does not remove all non-cash items (such as acquisition-related gains) or consider certain cash requirements such as tax and debt service payments. The amount shown for Adjusted EBITDA also differs from the amount calculated under similarly titled definitions in our debt instruments, which are further adjusted to reflect certain other cash and non-cash charges and are used to determine compliance with financial covenants and our ability to engage in certain activities, such as incurring additional debt and making certain restricted payments. 

i


“Adjusted fees’’ refers to Kennedy Wilson’s gross investment management, property services and research fees adjusted to include fees eliminated in consolidation and Kennedy Wilson’s share of fees in unconsolidated service businesses. Our management uses Adjusted fees to analyze our investment management and real estate services business because the measure removes required eliminations under GAAP for properties in which the Company provides services but also has an ownership interest. These eliminations understate the economic value of the investment management, property services and research fees and makes the Company comparable to other real estate companies that provide investment management and real estate services but do not have an ownership interest in the properties they manage. Our management believes that adjusting GAAP fees to reflect these amounts eliminated in consolidation presents a more holistic measure of the scope of our investment management and real estate services business.
“Adjusted Net Asset Value’’ is calculated by KWE as net asset value adjusted to include properties and other investment interests at fair value and to exclude certain items not expected to crystallize in a long-term investment property business model such as the fair value of financial derivatives and deferred taxes on property valuation surpluses.
“Adjusted Net Income” represents net income attributable to Kennedy-Wilson Holdings Inc., shareholders adjusted for our share of depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation expense, and preferred stock dividends and accretion of issuance costs.
“Cap rate” represents the net operating income of an investment for the year preceding its acquisition or disposition, as applicable, divided by the purchase or sale price, as applicable.  Cap rates set forth in this presentation only includes data from income-producing properties. We calculate cap rates based on information that is supplied to us during the acquisition diligence process. This information is often not audited or reviewed by independent accountants and may be presented in a manner that is different from similar information included in our financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, cap rates represent historical performance and are not a guarantee of future NOI. Properties for which a cap rate is provided may not continue to perform at that cap rate.
"Consolidated investment account" refers to the sum of Kennedy Wilson’s equity in: cash held by consolidated investments, consolidated real estate and acquired in-place leases gross of accumulated depreciation and amortization, net hedge asset or liability, unconsolidated investments, consolidated loans, and net other assets.
    "Equity multiple" is calculated by dividing the amount of total distributions received by KW from an investment (including any gains, return of equity invested by KW and promoted interests) by the amount of total contributions invested by KW in such investment. This metric does not take into account management fees, organizational fees, or other similar expenses, all of which in the aggregate may be substantial and lower the overall return to KW. Equity multiples represent historical performance and are not a guarantee of the future performance of investments.
"Equity partners" refers to non-wholly-owned subsidiaries that we consolidate in our financial statements under U.S. GAAP, including KWE, and third-party equity providers.
"Investment account” refers to the consolidated investment account presented after noncontrolling interest on invested assets gross of accumulated depreciation and amortization. 
"Investment Management and Real Estate Services Assets under Management" ("IMRES AUM") generally refers to the properties and other assets with respect to which we provide (or participate in) oversight, investment management services and other advice, and which generally consist of real estate properties or loans, and investments in joint ventures. Our IMRES AUM is principally intended to reflect the extent of our presence in the real estate market, not the basis for determining our management fees. Our IMRES AUM consists of the total estimated fair value of the real estate properties and other real estate related assets either owned by third parties, wholly owned by us or held by joint ventures and other entities in which our sponsored funds or investment vehicles and client accounts have invested. Committed (but unfunded) capital from investors in our sponsored funds is not included in our IMRES AUM. The estimated value of development properties is included at estimated completion cost.
"KW Cap Rate” represents the Cap rate (as defined above) weighted by the Company’s ownership interest in the underlying investments.   Cap rates set forth in this presentation only includes data from income-producing properties.  We calculate cap rates based on information that is supplied to us during the acquisition diligence process.  This information is often not audited or reviewed by independent accountants and may be presented in a manner that is different from similar information included in our financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.  In addition, cap rates represent historical performance and are not a guarantee of future NOI.  Properties for which a cap rate is provided may not continue to perform at that cap rate.
"Net operating income" or " NOI” is a non-GAAP measure representing the income produced by a property calculated by deducting operating expenses from operating revenues. Our management uses net operating income to assess and compare the performance of our properties and to estimate their fair value. Net operating income does not include the effects of depreciation or amortization or gains or losses from the sale of properties because the effects of those items do not necessarily represent the actual change in the value of our properties resulting from our value-add initiatives or changing market conditions. Our management

ii


believes that net operating income reflects the core revenues and costs of operating our properties and is better suited to evaluate trends in occupancy and lease rates.
"Noncontrolling interests" represents the portion of equity ownership in a consolidated subsidiary not attributable to Kennedy Wilson.
"Operating associates" generally refer to individuals that are employed by or affiliated with third-party consultants, contractors, property managers or other service providers that we manage and oversee on a day-to-day basis with respect to our investments and service businesses.
"Pro-Rata" represents Kennedy Wilson's share calculated by using our proportionate economic ownership of each asset in our portfolio, including our 23.65% ownership in KWE as of March 31, 2017. Please also refer to the pro-rata financial data in our supplemental financial information.
"Property net operating income" is a non-GAAP measure calculated by deducting the Company's Pro-Rata share of rental and hotel operating expenses from the Company's Pro-Rata rental and hotel revenues.
“Same property” refers to properties in which Kennedy Wilson has an ownership interest during the entire span of both periods being compared.  The same property information presented throughout this report is shown on a cash basis and excludes non-recurring expenses. This analysis excludes properties that are either under development or undergoing lease up as part of our asset management strategy.

NOTE 1—BASIS OF PRESENTATION
KW Group's unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP") may have been condensed or omitted pursuant to SEC rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make their presentation not misleading. In the Company's opinion, all adjustments, consisting of only normal and recurring items, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 have been included. The results of operations for these periods are not necessarily indicative of results that might be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2017. For further information, your attention is directed to the footnote disclosures found in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. Throughout this unaudited interim consolidated financial statements “KW Group,” is referenced which is defined as the Company and its subsidiaries that are consolidated in its financial statements under U.S. GAAP (including KWE as defined below).  All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. "KW," “KWH,” “Kennedy Wilson,” the “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us” are also referred to which are defined as Kennedy-Wilson Holdings, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.
Kennedy Wilson Europe Real Estate Plc (“KWE,” LSE: KWE), a Jersey investment company formed to invest in real estate and real estate-related assets in Europe, closed its initial public offering ("IPO") on the London Stock Exchange during the quarter ended March 31, 2014. KWE is externally managed by a wholly-owned subsidiary of Kennedy Wilson incorporated in Jersey pursuant to an investment management agreement.  Due to the terms provided in the investment management agreement and Kennedy Wilson's equity ownership interest in KWE, pursuant to the guidance set forth in Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Subtopic 810 - Consolidation (“Subtopic 810”), the Company is required to consolidate KWE’s results in its consolidated financial statements. As of March 31, 2017, the Company invested $490.1 million and owned approximately 23.65% of KWE’s total issued share capital. On April 24, 2017, the Company announced an offer by the Company to acquire all of the outstanding shares (other than shares owned by the Company or its subsidiaries or held in treasury) of KWE, in an all-stock transaction. See Note 16 for more detail.
Prior to KWE's formation and for investments that do not meet KWE's investment guidelines, the Company (along with its equity partners) has directly invested in 17 properties and a servicing platform in Europe which had total assets of $867.4 million included in the Company's consolidated balance sheet and $274.7 million of equity as of March 31, 2017. As of March 31, 2017, the Company's weighted average ownership in these investments was 63%.
 In addition, throughout these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements, “equity partners” is referred to which is defined as the non-wholly owned subsidiaries that are consolidated in the Company's financial statements under U.S. GAAP, including KWE, and third-party equity providers. 
Kennedy Wilson evaluates its relationships with other entities to identify whether they are variable interest entities ("VIEs") as defined in the ASC Subtopic 810-10, as amended by Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2015-02, and to assess whether it is the primary beneficiary of such entities. If the determination is made that Kennedy Wilson is the primary beneficiary, then that entity is included in the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the ASC Subtopic 810-10.
The preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events. These estimates and the underlying assumptions affect the amounts of assets and liabilities reported, disclosure about contingent assets and liabilities, and reported amounts of revenues and expenses. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ significantly from these estimates. See comment in Note 4 about the preliminary nature of the estimates used in relation to acquisitions.
NOTE 2—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ADOPTION OF NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
REVENUE RECOGNITION—Performance fees or carried interests are allocated to the general partner, special limited partner or asset manager of the Company's real estate funds and loan pool participations based on the cumulative performance of the funds and loan pools and are subject to preferred return thresholds of the limited partners and participants. At the end of each reporting period, the Company calculates the performance fee that would be due to the general partner, special limited partner or asset manager's interests for a fund or loan pool, pursuant to the fund agreement or participation agreements, as if the fair value of the underlying investments were realized as of such date, irrespective of whether such amounts have been realized. As the fair

6


Kennedy-Wilson Holdings, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)



value of underlying investments varies between reporting periods, it is necessary to make adjustments to amounts recorded as performance fees to reflect either (a) positive performance resulting in an increase in the performance fee allocated to the general partner or asset manager or (b) negative performance that would cause the amount due to the Company to be less than the amount previously recognized as revenue, resulting in a negative adjustment to performance fees allocated to the general partner or asset manager. A majority of the performance fees are recognized in investment management revenue in the Company's consolidated statements of operations. Total performance fees recognized from inception through March 31, 2017 that may be reversed in future periods if there is negative fund performance totaled $33.8 million. Net performance fees recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 were $6.5 million and $6.4 million, respectively, and the amounts that have not been received are included in accounts receivable - related parties in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.
REAL ESTATE ACQUISITIONS—The purchase price of acquired properties is recorded to land, buildings and building improvements and intangible lease value (value of above-market and below-market leases, acquired in-place lease values, and tenant relationships, if any) based on their respective estimated fair values in accordance with ASC Subtopic 805-10, Business Combinations. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred. The ownership of the other interest holders in consolidated subsidiaries is reflected as noncontrolling interests.
The valuations of real estate are based on management estimates of the real estate assets using income and market approaches. The indebtedness securing the real estate is valued, in part, based on third party valuations and management estimates also using an income approach.
NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS—Noncontrolling interest is the portion of equity (net assets) in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly to the Company. These amounts are reported within equity as a separate component in accordance with ASC Subtopic 810-10, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements. Revenues, expenses, gains, losses, net income (loss), and other comprehensive income (loss) are reported in the consolidated statements of operations at the consolidated amounts and net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests are separately stated.
The largest component of noncontrolling interest relates to the Company's investment in KWE, which had a corresponding noncontrolling interest balance of $1.1 billion as of March 31, 2017.
FOREIGN CURRENCIES—The financial statements of KW Group's subsidiaries located outside the United States are measured using the local currency as this is their functional currency. The assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries are translated at the rates of exchange at the balance sheet date, and income and expenses are translated at the average monthly rate. The foreign currencies include the euro, the British pound sterling, and to a lesser extent, the Japanese yen. Cumulative translation adjustments, to the extent not included in cumulative net income, are included in the consolidated statement of equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income.
Investment level debt is generally incurred in local currencies. Fluctuations in foreign exchanges rates may have a significant impact on the results of our operations. In order to manage the effect of these fluctuations, the Company enters into hedging transactions, in the form of currency derivative contracts, that are designed to reduce its book equity exposure to foreign currencies. See note 6 for a complete discussion on currency derivative contracts.
DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES—All derivative instruments are recognized as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet at their respective fair values. For derivatives designated in hedging relationships, changes in fair value of cash flow hedges or net investment hedges are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income, to the extent the derivative is effective at offsetting the changes in the item being hedged until the hedged item affects earnings. Changes in fair value for fair value hedges are recognized in earnings.
Fluctuations in foreign exchanges rates may have a significant impact on the Company's results of operations. In order to manage the effect of these fluctuations, the Company generally hedges its book equity exposure to changes in foreign currency rates through currency derivative contracts. The Company typically hedges 50%-100% of book equity exposure against these foreign currencies.
INCOME TAXES—Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary

7

(Unaudited)



differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. In accordance with ASC Subtopic 740-10, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, the effect of income tax positions is recognized only if those positions are more likely than not to be sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS—In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, a five-step model to recognize revenue from customer contracts in an effort to increase consistency and comparability throughout global capital markets and across industries. The model will identify the contract, identify any separate performance obligations in the contract, determine the transaction price, allocate the transaction price and recognize revenue when the performance obligation is satisfied. The new standard will apply to KW Group’s management and leasing fees (including performance fees), commissions, rental and hotel income. Management is evaluating the impact of the five-step model and determined that it is not expected to have a significant impact on the financial statements. ASU 2014-09 will also impact how sales of real estate are reported, which will become subject to ASC Subtopic 610-20 Other Income- Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets ("Subtopic 610-20"). After review of Subtopic 610-20, management concluded that the new standard is not expected to have a significant impact on the amount, timing or classification of real estate sales in the financial statements or related disclosures based on the Company's current business mix. The new standard will replace most existing revenue recognition in GAAP when it becomes effective for the Company on January 1, 2018. The Company is planning on adopting a modified retrospective transition method when the guidance becomes effective.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both parties to a contract (i.e., lessees and lessors). The new standard requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase by the lessee. This classification will determine whether lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. A lessee is also required to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term of greater than 12 months regardless of their classification. Leases with a term of 12 months or less will be accounted for similar to existing guidance for operating leases today. The new standard requires lessors to account for leases using an approach that is substantially equivalent to existing guidance for sales-type leases, direct financing leases and operating leases. ASU 2016-02 is required to be adopted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. Because KW Group's existing operating lease commitments are not material and the accounting for leases by the lessor is substantially unchanged, the Company does not expect the ASU to have a significant impact on its results of operations or financial position.   
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-07, Simplifying the Transition to the Equity Method of Accounting, which eliminates the requirement for an investor to retroactively apply the equity method when its increase in ownership interest (or degree of influence) in an investee triggers equity method accounting. ASU 2016-07 is effective for all entities in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on KW Group's consolidated financial statements.
On March 30, 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which is intended to improve the accounting for share-based payment transactions as part of the FASB’s implication initiative. The ASU changes seven aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including (1) accounting for income taxes; (2) classification of excess tax benefits on the statement of cash flows; (3) forfeitures; (4) minimum statutory tax withholding requirements; (5) classification of employee taxes paid on the statement of cash flows when the employer withholds shares for tax withholding purposes; (6) practical expedient - expected term (nonpublic only); and (7) intrinsic value (nonpublic only).
ASU 2016-09 requires excess tax benefits and deficiencies to be recognized as a component of income tax expense rather than equity. An excess tax benefit (windfall) arises when the value of the share-based award on the vesting date is higher than the fair value on the grant date. A tax deficiency (shortfall) arises when the fair value on vesting date is lower than the fair value on the grant date. In addition, ASU 2016-09 eliminated the requirement for excess tax benefits from share-based compensation to reduce current taxes payable prior to being recognized in the financial statement. The inclusion of excess tax benefits and deficiencies as a component of our income tax expense will increase volatility within the Company’s tax provision for income taxes as the amount of excess tax benefits or deficiencies from stock-based compensation awards is from now on dependent upon the Company’s stock price on the date the awards vest.

On January 1, 2017, KW Group adopted ASU 2016-09 under the modified retrospective approach and recorded the cumulative impact of the accounting change through a reduction to the accumulated deficit of $9.3 million This amount represents the cumulative excess tax benefits related to share-based compensation as of December 31, 2016 which had not been reflected as a deferred tax asset. As a result of adoption of ASU 2016-09, the excess tax benefits were reclassified to net operating loss carryover, resulting in an increase in our deferred tax asset by $9.3 million as of January 1, 2017.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, which addresses eight classification issues related to the statement of cash flows: (a) debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs, (b) settlement of zero-coupon bonds, (c) contingent consideration payments made after a business combination (d) proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims, (e) proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies, including bank-owned life insurance policies, (f) distributions received from equity method investees, (g) beneficial interests in securitization transactions, and (h) separately identifiable cash flows and application of the predominance principle. ASU 2016-15 is required to be adopted for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company does not expect the ASU to have a significant impact on KW Group's consolidated financial statements.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business. The ASU clarifies the definition of a business. The three elements of a business (inputs, processes, and outputs) has not changed, however, the amendment provides a framework to assist entities in evaluating whether these elements are present. The amended framework is not expected to materially impact the Company’s financial statements. However, the amendment also includes a provision that when substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired (or disposed of) is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, the set is not a business. Therefore, Real estate acquisitions generally will no longer be considered a business and consequently not be accounted for under Topic 805. The Company has evaluated the likely impacts noting that (1) acquisition related costs will no longer be expensed as incurred and (2) regardless of the market value of a property at the acquisition date, acquisition related gains will no longer be recorded. ASU 2017-01 is required to be adopted for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company does not expect the ASU to have a significant impact on KW Group's consolidated financial statements.   
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, which requires an entity to no longer perform a hypothetical purchase price allocation to measure goodwill impairment. Instead, impairment will be measured using the difference between the carrying amount and the fair value of the reporting unit. ASU 2017-04 is required to be adopted for public entities that are SEC filers, for annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company does not expect the ASU to have a significant impact on KW Group's consolidated financial statements.
The FASB did not issue any other ASUs during the first three months of 2017 that the Company expects to be applicable and have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
RECLASSIFICATIONS-Certain balances included in prior year's financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year's presentation.
NOTE 3—LOAN PURCHASES AND ORIGINATIONS
KW Group's investment in loan purchases and originations was $82.6 million and $87.7 million at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.
During the first quarter of 2017, Kennedy Wilson collected in full approximately $6.4 million on a loan secured by an office property in San Diego, CA.
KW Group recognized interest income on loans of $2.1 million and $2.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Guarantees
Kennedy Wilson has certain guarantees associated with loans secured by consolidated assets. As of March 31, 2017, the maximum potential amount of future payments (undiscounted) Kennedy Wilson could be required to make under the guarantees was approximately $50.4 million which is approximately 1% of investment level debt of Kennedy Wilson and its equity partners. The guarantees expire through 2026, and Kennedy Wilson’s performance under the guarantees would be required to the extent there is a shortfall upon liquidation between the principal amount of the loan and the net sale proceeds from the property. Based on the Company's evaluation of guarantees under FASB ASC Subtopic 460-10 Estimated Fair Value of Guarantees, the estimated fair value of guarantees made as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 were immaterial.
NOTE 5—UNCONSOLIDATED INVESTMENTS
Kennedy Wilson has a number of joint venture interests, generally ranging from 5% to 50%, that were formed to acquire, manage, develop, service and/or sell real estate and invest in loan pools and discounted loan portfolios. Kennedy Wilson has significant influence over these entities, but not control, and accordingly, these investments are accounted for under the equity method.

Vintage Housing Holdings ("VHH")
During the second quarter of 2015, the Company purchased a noncontrolling interest for $78.7 million in VHH, an existing venture that holds controlling interests in over 30 syndicated limited partnerships ("LPs") that own multifamily properties via a traditional low-income housing tax credit ("LIHTC") structure in the Western United States. The remaining interest is held by one nonaffiliated entity who is appointed as the manager. Neither party controls VHH, and, accordingly, the Company accounts for its investment under the equity method. As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the carrying value in VHH was $95.5 million and $84.2 million, respectively.

The LPs generate cash flow through their controlling interests in entities owning multifamily housing that is predominantly structured with LIHTCs. The Company has elected the fair value option on its unconsolidated investment in VHH. During the year, the Company recognized a total of $12.4 million fair value gains through equity income. Fair value gains are primarily generated from resyndications in which VHH dissolves an existing partnership and recapitalizes into a new partnership with tax exempt bonds and tax credits which are sold to a new tax credit LP partner and, in many cases, yields cash back to VHH. Upon resyndication, VHH retains a GP interest in the partnership and receives various future streams of cash flows including; development fees, asset management fees, other GP management fees and distributions from operations. Since the investment is accounted for under the fair value option, operating distributions are recorded as equity income. See Note 6 for additional details. The Company has recognized $1.8 million in equity income related to operating distributions during the year.
Contributions to Joint Ventures    
During the three months ended March 31, 2017, Kennedy Wilson contributed $7.7 million to a new joint venture. Kennedy Wilson contributed $21.1 million to existing joint ventures during the three months ended March 31, 2017 to fund the Company's share of development projects, capital expenditures and working capital needs.

Distributions from Joint Ventures and Loan Pool Participations
During the three months ended March 31, 2017, Kennedy Wilson received $35.5 million in operating and investing distributions from its joint ventures and loan pool participations. Operating distributions resulted from operating cash flow generated by the joint venture investments. Investing distributions resulted from the refinancing of property level debt and asset sales.

Investing distributions resulted primarily from recapitalizations and the sale of multifamily and commercial properties in the Western United States. Operating distributions resulted from sales distributions in excess of invested basis and operating cash flow generated by the joint venture investments.
Consolidation Considerations
The Company determines the appropriate accounting method with respect to all investments that are not VIEs based on the control-based framework (controlled entities are consolidated) provided by the consolidations guidance in FASB ASC Topic 810. The Company accounts for joint ventures where it is deemed that the Company does not have control through the equity method of accounting while entities the Company controls are consolidated in KW Group's financial statements.
Capital Commitments
As of March 31, 2017, Kennedy Wilson had unfulfilled capital commitments totaling $19.4 million to four of its joint ventures under the respective operating agreements. The Company may be called upon to contribute additional capital to joint ventures in satisfaction of such capital commitment obligations.

Unconsolidated Investments    
Kennedy Wilson elected to use the fair value option ("FV Option") for fourteen unconsolidated investments to more accurately reflect the timing of the value created in the underlying investments and report those results in current operations. Kennedy Wilson's investment balance in the FV Option investments was $322.7 million and $282.4 million at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, which is included in unconsolidated investments in the accompanying balance sheets.
Additionally, Kennedy Wilson records its investments in KW Property Fund III, L.P., Kennedy Wilson Real Estate Fund IV, and Kennedy Wilson Real Estate Fund V, LP (the "Funds") based upon the net assets that would be allocated to its interests in the Funds assuming the Funds were to liquidate their investments at fair value as of the reporting date. Kennedy Wilson’s investment balance in the Funds was $53.1 million and $47.0 million at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, which is included in unconsolidated investments in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. As of March 31, 2017, Kennedy Wilson had unfunded capital commitments to the Funds in the amount of $17.8 million.
In estimating fair value of real estate held by the Funds and the fourteen FV Option investments, the Company considers significant unobservable inputs such as capitalization and discount rates.

In valuing indebtedness the Company considers significant inputs such as the term of the debt, value of collateral, market loan-to-value ratios, market interest rates and spreads, and credit quality of investment entities. The credit spreads used for these types of investments range from 1.32% to 4.47%.

The accuracy of estimating fair value for investments utilizing unobservable inputs cannot be determined with precision and cannot be substantiated by comparison to quoted prices in active markets. As such, estimated fair value may not be realized in a current sale or immediate settlement of the asset or liability. Additionally, there are inherent uncertainties in any fair value measurement technique, and changes in the underlying assumptions used, including capitalization rates, discount rates, liquidity risks, and estimates of future cash flows, could significantly affect the fair value measurement amounts.

Marketable Securities

Marketable securities include Kennedy Wilson's investment in publicly traded equity securities and fixed income investments. The fixed income portfolio consists mainly of U.S. government and investment grade corporate bonds. The carrying value of marketable securities is a level 1 valuation as the fair value is based off of unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical securities.

The amount above excludes Kennedy Wilson's 29.8 million shares in KWE as the investment is eliminated due to the consolidation of KWE's results in KW Group's consolidated financial statements. Kennedy Wilson's investment in KWE had a market value of approximately $353.6 million (cost basis of $490.1 million) based on a per share price of $11.85 at March 31, 2017. As of March 31, 2017, the Company had fully hedged the foreign currency rate risk of its net investment in KWE through using currency forward contracts and options, with a notional amount of £356.0 million.
Currency derivative contracts
KW Group uses foreign currency derivative contracts such as forward contracts and options to manage its foreign currency risk exposure against the effects of a portion of its certain non-U.S. dollar denominated currency net investments. Foreign currency options are valued using a variant of the Black-Scholes model tailored for currency derivatives and the foreign currency forward contracts are valued based on the difference between the contract rate and the forward rate at maturity of the underlying currency applied to the notional value in the underlying currency discounted at a market rate for similar risks. Although the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its currency derivative contracts fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the counterparty risk adjustments associated with the currency derivative contracts utilize Level 3 inputs. However, as of March 31, 2017, KW Group assessed the significance of the impact of the counterparty valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions and determined that the counterparty valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of its derivative. As a result, the Company has determined that its derivative valuation in its entirety be classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Changes in fair value are recorded in other comprehensive income in the accompanying consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) as the portion of the currency derivative contracts used to hedge foreign currency exposure of its certain net investments in foreign operations qualifies as a net investment hedge under FASB ASC Topic 815. Ineffective portions of currency derivative contracts and contracts that do not quality for net investment hedges are recognized in the statement of operations within other income.
The fair value of the currency derivative contracts held as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 are reported in other assets for hedge assets and included in accrued expenses and other liabilities for hedge liabilities on the balance sheet. See note 11 for a complete discussion on other comprehensive income including currency derivative contracts and foreign currency translations.

(1) Hedge is held by KWE on its wholly-owned subsidiaries.
(2) Relates to KWE's Euro Medium Term Note. See discussion in Note 8.
(3) Underlying investment was sold by KW Group. Historical amounts within other comprehensive income were reclassified to the statement of operations at time of sale.
The gains recognized through other comprehensive income will remain in accumulated other comprehensive income until the underlying investments they were hedging are substantially liquidated by KW Group.
Fair value of financial instruments
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable including related party receivables, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities, and other assets approximate fair value due to their short-term maturities. The carrying value of loans (excluding related party loans as they are presumed not to be an arm’s length transaction) approximates fair value as the terms are similar to loans with similar characteristics available in the market.
Debt liabilities are accounted for at face value plus net unamortized debt premiums and any fair value adjustments as part of business combinations. The fair value as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 for the senior notes payable and investment debt were estimated to be approximately $5.0 billion and $5.0 billion, respectively, based on a comparison of the yield that would be required in a current transaction, taking into consideration the risk of the underlying collateral and the Company's credit risk to the current yield of a similar security, compared to their carrying value of $4.9 billion and $4.9 billion at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. The inputs used to value the Company's senior notes payable and mortgage loans payable are based on observable inputs for similar assets and quoted prices in markets that are not active and are therefore determined to be level 2 inputs.

The investment debt had a weighted average interest rate of 3.34% and 3.33% per annum at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, 75% of KW Group's investment level debt was fixed rate, 15% was floating rate with interest caps and 10% was floating rate without interest caps.

During the second quarter of 2015, KWE completed its inaugural bond offering of approximately $376.5 million (based on March 31, 2017 rates) (£300 million) in 3.95% fixed-rate senior unsecured bonds due 2022. During the third quarter of 2016, KWE completed an additional offering of approximately $251.0 million (based on March 31, 2017 rates) (£200 million) in 3.95% fixed-rate senior unsecured bonds due 2022. KWE effectively reduced the interest rate to 3.35% as a result of it entering into swap arrangements to convert 50% of the proceeds into Euros.

In addition, during the fourth quarter of 2015, KWE established a £2.0 billion (approximately $2.5 billion based on March 31, 2017 rates) Euro Medium Term Note ("EMTN") Programme. Under the EMTN Programme, KWE may issue, from time to time, up to £2.0 billion of various types of debt securities in certain markets and currencies. During the fourth quarter of 2015 and second quarter of 2016, KWE drew down under its EMTN Programme, with the issuances of senior unsecured notes for an aggregate principal amount of approximately $585.9 million (based on March 31, 2017 rates) (€550 million) (the "KWE Notes"). The KWE Notes were issued at a discount and have a carrying value of $581.7 million with an annual fixed coupon of 3.25%, and mature in 2025. As KWE invests proceeds from the KWE Notes to fund equity investments in new euro denominated assets KWE designates the KWE Notes as net investment hedges under FASB ASC Topic 815. Subsequent fluctuations in foreign currency rates that impact the carrying value of the KWE Notes are recorded to accumulated other comprehensive income. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, KW Group recognized a gain of $2.9 million in accumulated other comprehensive income due to the weakening of the euro against the GBP during the period. The KWE Notes rank pari passu with the KWE Bonds (as defined below), and are subject to the same restrictive covenants.

The trust deed that governs the bonds contains various restrictive covenants for KWE, including, among others, limitations on KWE’s and its material subsidiaries’ ability to provide certain negative pledges. The trust deed limits the ability of KWE and its subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness if, on the date of such incurrence and after giving effect to the incurrence of the new indebtedness, (1) KWE’s consolidated net indebtedness (as defined in the trust deed) would exceed 60% of KWE’s total assets (as calculated pursuant to the terms of the trust deed); and (2) KWE’s consolidated secured indebtedness (as defined in the trust deed) would exceed 50% of KWE’s total assets (as calculated pursuant to the terms of the trust deed). The trust deed also requires KWE, as of each reporting date, to maintain an interest coverage ratio (as defined in the trust deed) of at least 1.50 to 1.00 and have unencumbered assets of no less than 125% of its unsecured indebtedness (as defined in the trust deed). As of March 31, 2017, KWE was in compliance with these covenants.

In August 2014, KWE entered into a three-year unsecured floating rate revolving debt facility ("KWE Facility") with Bank of America Merrill Lynch, Deutsche Bank, and J.P. Morgan Chase of approximately $282.4 million (£225 million) based on rates as of March 31, 2017. As of March 31, 2017, the unsecured credit facility was undrawn, with $282.4 million (£225 million) still available based on rates as of March 31, 2017.

During the three months ended March 31, 2017, one existing mortgage was refinanced.

In August 2016, Kennedy Wilson, Inc., (the "Issuer") completed an additional public offering of $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.875% Senior Notes due 2024 (the "Notes"). The Notes were issued as additional notes under the indenture pursuant to which the Issuer previously issued $650 million aggregate principal amount of its 5.875% Senior Notes due 2024 (the “Initial Notes"). The Notes have substantially identical terms as the Initial Notes and will be treated as a single series with the Initial Notes under the indenture. The Notes were issued and sold at a public offering price of 100.0% of their principal amount, plus accrued interest from, and including, April 1, 2016.
The indentures governing the 2024 Notes and 2042 Notes contain various restrictive covenants, including, among others, limitations on the Company's ability and the ability of certain of the Company's subsidiaries to incur or guarantee additional indebtedness, to make restricted payments, pay dividends or make any other distributions from restricted subsidiaries, redeem or repurchase capital stock, sell assets or subsidiary stock, engage in transactions with affiliates, create or permit liens on assets, enter into sale/leaseback transactions, and enter into consolidations or mergers. The indentures governing the 2024 and 2042 Notes limit the ability of Kennedy Wilson and its restricted subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness if, on the date of such incurrence and after giving effect to the new indebtedness, the maximum balance sheet leverage ratio (as defined in the indenture) is greater than 1.50 to 1.00. This ratio is measured at the time of incurrence of additional indebtedness. As of March 31, 2017, the maximum balance sheet leverage ratio was 0.93 to 1.00. See Note 15 for the guarantor and non-guarantor financial statements.
NOTE 10—BORROWINGS UNDER LINES OF CREDIT
KWH Facility
On December 10, 2015, Kennedy-Wilson, Inc. (the “Borrower”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Kennedy-Wilson Holdings, Inc. ("KWH") entered into a $475 million unsecured revolving credit facility (the “KW Revolving Facility”) with a syndicate of lenders including Bank of America, N.A., JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch, U.S. Bank N.A., East West Bank, Fifth Third Bank, The Governor and Company of the Bank of Ireland, Compass Bank and City National Bank with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent and letter of credit issuer. Loans under the KW Revolving Facility bear interest at a rate equal to LIBOR plus 2.50% or 3.00%, depending on the consolidated leverage ratio as of the applicable measurement date, and have a maturity date of December 10, 2018. Subject to certain conditions precedent and at the Borrower’s option, the maturity date of the KW Revolving Facility may be extended by one year.
The KW Revolving Facility has certain covenants that, among other things, limit the Borrower and certain of its subsidiaries’ ability to incur additional indebtedness, repurchase capital stock or debt, sell assets or subsidiary stock, create or permit liens on assets, engage in transactions with affiliates, enter into sale/leaseback transactions, issue subsidiary equity and enter into consolidations or mergers. The credit agreement that governs the KW Revolving Facility requires the Borrower to maintain (i) a maximum consolidated leverage ratio (as defined in the credit agreement) of not greater than 65%, measured as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, (ii) a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio (as defined in the credit agreement) of not less than 1.60 to 1.00, measured as of the last day of each fiscal quarter for the period of four full fiscal quarters then ended, (iii) a minimum consolidated tangible net worth equal to or greater than the sum of $920,660,504.65 plus an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of net equity proceeds received by the Borrower after September 30, 2015, measured as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, (iv) a maximum recourse leverage ratio (as defined in the credit agreement) of not greater than an amount equal to consolidated tangible net worth as of the measurement date multiplied by 1.5, measured as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, (v) a maximum secured recourse leverage ratio (as defined in the credit agreement) of not greater than an amount equal to the greater of 3.5% of consolidated total asset value (as defined in the credit agreement) and $138,187,197, (vi) a maximum adjusted secured leverage ratio (as defined in the credit agreement) of not greater than 55%, measured as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, and (vii) liquidity (as defined in the credit agreement) of at least $250 million.

Share-based Compensation
During the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, KW Group recognized $10.7 million and $17.5 million of compensation expense related to the vesting of restricted stock grants. The decrease for the three months ended March 31, 2017 is mainly due to restricted stock that was granted in 2012 under the Company’s Amended and Restated 2009 Equity Participation Plan being fully expensed as of December 31, 2016. 
Upon vesting, the restricted stock granted to employees discussed directly above is net share-settled to cover the withholding tax.  Shares that vested during the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 were net-share settled such that the Company withheld shares with value equivalent to the employees’ minimum statutory obligation for the applicable income and other employment taxes, and remitted the cash to the appropriate taxing authorities.  The total shares withheld during the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 were 1,114,903 shares and 396,442 shares, respectively, and were based on the value of the restricted stock on the respective vesting dates as determined by the Company’s closing stock price. During the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, total payments for the employees’ tax obligations to the taxing authorities were $27.5 million and $8.1 million, respectively. These activities are reflected as a financing activity within KW Group's Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

As discussed throughout this report, the Company is required under U.S. GAAP to consolidate certain non-wholly owned subsidiaries or investments that it controls.  As such, the Company's financial statements reflect currency translation adjustments and related hedging activities on a gross basis. In many instances, these fluctuations are not reflective of the actual foreign currency exposure of the underlying consolidated subsidiary. For example, the Company is required to translate the activities of KWE into U.S. dollars even though KWE does not invest in U.S. dollar denominated assets.  Therefore, it is important to look at the provided currency translation and currency derivative adjustment information net of noncontrolling interests to get a more accurate understanding of the actual currency exposure for the Company
The local currencies for the Company's interests in foreign operations include the euro, the British pound sterling, and the Japanese yen. The related amounts on KW Group's balance sheets are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates at the respective financial statement date, while amounts on its statements of operations are translated at the average exchange rates during the respective period. The decrease in the unrealized losses on foreign currency translation is a result of the weakening of the U.S. dollar against the euro, the British pound and the Japanese yen during the three months ended March 31, 2017.
In order to manage currency fluctuations, KW Group entered into currency derivative contracts to manage its exposure to currency fluctuations between its functional currency (U.S. dollar) and the functional currency (Euro, GBP and Yen) of certain of its wholly-owned and consolidated subsidiaries. See note 6 for a more detailed discussion of KW Group's currency derivative contracts.
Noncontrolling Interests
Noncontrolling interests consist of the ownership interests of noncontrolling shareholders in consolidated subsidiaries, and are presented separately on KW Group's balance sheet. As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 KW Group had noncontrolling interest of $1.3 billion and $1.3 billion, respectively.
Kennedy Wilson currently owns approximately 23.65% of KWE’s total issued share capital as of March 31, 2017. The noncontrolling interest holders in KWE had an equity balance of $1.1 billion as of March 31, 2017.  Due to the terms provided in the investment management agreement between KWE and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Kennedy Wilson, the results of KWE are consolidated in KW Group's financial statements. 
NOTE 12—EARNINGS PER SHARE
In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 260-10-45, Earnings Per Share, the Company uses the two-class method to calculate earnings per share. Basic earnings per share is calculated based on dividends declared (“distributed earnings”) and the rights of common shares and participating securities in any undistributed earnings, which represents net income remaining after deduction of dividends declared during the period. Participating securities, which include unvested restricted stock, are included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. The undistributed earnings are allocated to all outstanding common shares and participating securities based on the relative percentage of each security to the total number of outstanding securities. Basic earnings per common share and participating securities represent the summation of the distributed and undistributed earnings per common share and participating security divided by the total weighted average number of common shares outstanding and the total weighted average number of participating securities outstanding during the respective periods. The Company only presents the earnings per share attributable to the common shareholders.
 
Net losses, after deducting the dividends to participating securities, are allocated in full to the common shares since the participating security holders do not have an obligation to share in the losses, based on the contractual rights and obligations of the participating securities. The following is a summary of the elements used in calculating basic and diluted income (loss) per share for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016:

NOTE 14—INCOME TAXES
In determining quarterly provisions for income taxes, the Company calculates income tax expense based on actual year-to-date income and statutory tax rates. The year-to-date income tax expense also reflects the Company's assessment of potential exposure for uncertain tax positions.
During the three months ended March 31, 2017, KW Group generated a pretax book loss of $3.2 million related to its global operations, and recorded a tax benefit of $4.1 million. During the quarter ended March 31, 2017, the Company adopted ASU 2016-09.  As a result of the adoption of ASU 2016-09, the Company recorded an adjustment to opening retained earnings of $9.3 million for excess tax benefits from share awards which had not been recognized under the prior accounting standard. In addition, during the quarter ended March 31, 2017, the Company realized excess tax benefits of $12.4 million from the vesting of restricted stock awards and dividend equivalents on restricted stock, which resulted in a tax benefit of $4.3 million. The difference between the U.S. federal rate of 35% and the Company's effective rate is primarily attributable to excess tax benefit from vesting of restricted stock awards and income earned by noncontrolling interests which is generally not subject to corporate taxes.

Kennedy-Wilson Holdings, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)



NOTE 16—SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On April 24, 2017, the Company issued an announcement (the “Rule 2.7 Announcement”) pursuant to Rule 2.7 of the United Kingdom City Code on Takeovers and Mergers disclosing the terms of a recommended offer by the Company to acquire all of the outstanding shares (other than shares owned by the Company or its subsidiaries or held in treasury) of KWE, in an all stock Proposed Transaction (the “Proposed Transaction”). Under the terms of the Proposed Transaction, if consummated, KWE shareholders would be entitled to receive, for the cancellation of each KWE ordinary share, 0.667 shares of the Company’s common stock by means of a court sanctioned scheme of arrangement between the Company and KWE shareholders under Article 125 of the Jersey Companies Law. The terms of the Proposed Transaction further provide that KWE shareholders will be entitled to receive the next quarterly dividend of 12 pence per KWE share, as well as a dividend after the closing of the Proposed Transaction which will reflect the principle agreed between the Company and KWE that the aggregate dividends payable to KWE shareholders should be equal to the accrued but unpaid ordinary dividends that would otherwise have been payable in respect of KWE shares in respect of the period from April 1, 2017 until the effective date of the Proposed Transaction, with payments from KWE to be reduced, where necessary, by any dividend to which a former KWE shareholder becomes entitled as a stockholder of the Company after the effective date of the Proposed Transaction, but only to the extent of the portion of such dividend which relates to a period prior to the effective date of the Proposed Transaction. KWE has agreed that, if the effective date of the Proposed Transaction falls on or after August 18, 2017, it will not pay the quarterly dividend of 12 pence per KWE share which it would otherwise have intended to pay to KWE shareholders on the register of members on August 18, 2017, but KWE shareholders would instead receive this as part of the closing dividend, subject to any deduction for a Company dividend received to the extent that it relates to the same period. Following the completion of the Proposed Transaction, the Company anticipates that former KWE shareholders would own approximately 36% and existing Company stockholders would own approximately 64% of the outstanding shares of the combined company. In connection with the Proposed Transaction, the Company has announced that its Board of Directors intends to increase the first quarterly dividend payable following the effective date of the Proposed Transaction from $0.17 per share of the Company’s common stock to $0.19 per share of the Company’s common stock.  The Proposed Transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of 2017 and is subject to customary closing conditions including, among other things, receipt of the Company’s and KWE’s shareholder approval. 

The Company evaluated subsequent events through the date these financial statements were issued.

Overview
Kennedy Wilson is a global real estate investment company.  We own, operate, and invest in real estate both on our own and through our investment management platform.  We focus on multifamily and commercial properties located in the Western United States, United Kingdom, Ireland, Spain, Italy and Japan. To complement our investment business, we also provide real estate services primarily to financial services clients.
Our value is primarily derived from our ownership in income producing real estate assets. We have an ownership interest in approximately 59 million square feet of property globally, including 25,873 multifamily rental units and 18.2 million square feet of commercial property. In addition to our core income producing real estate, we engage in redevelopment and value add initiatives through which we enhance cash flows or reposition assets to increase sale value. Additionally, our investment management and property services businesses manages over $17 billion of IMRES AUM, the majority of which we have an ownership interest in and the balance we manage for third parties.
We have 545 employees in 25 offices throughout the United States, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Jersey, Spain, Italy and Japan and manage and work with over 5,000 operating associates. 

The following is our business model:
Identify countries and markets with an attractive investment landscape
Establish operating platforms and service businesses in our target markets
Develop local intelligence and create long-lasting relationships; primarily with financial institutions
Leverage relationships and local knowledge to drive proprietary investment opportunities with a focus on off-market transactions that we expect will result in above average cash flows and returns over the long term
Acquire high quality assets, either on our own or with strategic partners, utilizing cash from our balance sheet (funded by cash flows from operations, refinancing of current investments or the sale of equity or debt securities) and typically financing them on a long-term basis
Reposition assets and enhance cash flows post-acquisition
Explore development opportunities on underutilized portions of assets; primarily excess land with little or no basis adjacent to income producing properties
Continuously evaluate and selectively harvest asset and entity value through strategic realizations utilizing both the public and private markets
Utilize our services businesses to meet client needs, strengthen relationships with financial institutions, and position us as a valuable resource and partner to these institutions for any future real estate opportunities
 
The real estate business is cyclical. Real estate cycles are generally impacted by many factors including availability of equity and debt capital, borrowing cost, rent levels, and asset values. Our strategy has resulted in a strong track record of creating both asset and entity value for the benefit of our shareholders and partners over these various real estate cycles.
Business Segments
Our operations are defined by two core business units: KW Investments and KW Investment Management and Real Estate Services (IMRES).
KW Investments invests our capital in real estate-related assets.
IMRES encompasses our fee generating businesses which includes both our investment management platform as well as our third party services business. These businesses offer a comprehensive line of real estate services for the full lifecycle of real estate ownership to clients that include shareholders of KWE, financial institutions, institutional investors, insurance companies, developers, builders and government agencies. IMRES has five main lines of business: investment management, property services, research, brokerage, and auction and conventional sales.

34


Our segments have a symbiotic relationship and work closely together. IMRES plays a critical role in supporting our investment strategy by providing local market intelligence and real-time data for evaluating investments, generating proprietary transaction flow and creating value through efficient implementation of asset management or repositioning strategies. KW Investments provides clients the ability to utilize the capabilities of IMRES.

KW Investments
We invest our capital in real estate assets and loans secured by real estate either on our own or through our investment management platform. When we have partners, we are typically the general partner in the arrangement with a promoted interest in the profits of our investments beyond our ownership percentage. We have an average ownership interest across all investments of approximately 40% as of March 31, 2017. Our equity partners include publicly traded companies, financial institutions, foundations, endowments, high net worth individuals and other institutional investors.

The following are product types we invest in through the KW Investments segment:
Multifamily
We pursue multifamily acquisition opportunities where we believe we can unlock value through a myriad of strategies, including institutional management, asset rehabilitation, repositioning and creative recapitalization. We focus primarily on apartments in supply-constrained, infill markets. Through our Vintage Housing Holdings ("VHH") partnership, we also utilize low-income housing tax credit structures for income-and-age restricted properties.
Commercial
We source, acquire, and finance various types of commercial real estate that includes office, retail, industrial, and mixed-use assets. After acquisition, the properties are generally repositioned to enhance market value. Assets are either sold as part of property-specific investment strategies designed to deliver above-market returns to our clients and shareholders or held if producing above average cash flows.
Loan Originations / Discounted Loan Purchases
We originate and/or acquire loans secured by real estate. Our originations and acquisitions include individual notes on all real estate property types as well as portfolios of loans purchased from financial institutions, corporations and government agencies. We deliver value through loan resolutions, discounted payoffs, and sales. We also convert certain loans into a direct ownership in the underlying real estate collateral.
Our loan investment portfolio is principally related to loans acquired at a discount from their contractual balance due as a result of deteriorated credit quality of the borrower. Such loans are underwritten by us based on the value of the underlying real estate collateral. Due to the discounted purchase price, we seek and are generally able to accomplish near term realization of the loan in a cash settlement or by obtaining title to the property. Accordingly, the credit quality of the borrower is not of substantial importance to our evaluation of the risk of recovery from the investment.
Hotel
We acquire hotels in certain opportunistic situations in which we were able to purchase at a discount to replacement value or can implement our value-add investment approach.
Residential and Other
In certain cases, we may pursue for-sale housing acquisition opportunities, including land for entitlements, finished lots, urban infill housing sites and partially finished and finished housing projects. On certain income-producing acquisitions, there are adjacent land parcels to which we assign little or no basis and for which we may pursue entitlement activities or, in some cases, development or re-development opportunities. This group also includes our investment in marketable securities. Included in Western U.S. residential are six residential investments and one loan investment in Hawaii. Our investment account balance for these Hawaiian investments is $175.4 million.
Investment Account
Our investment account represents our carrying value of equity before depreciation and amortization. In 2017, together with our equity partners, we acquired $272.0 million of real estate at purchase price. These acquisitions were comprised of the following: 62% multifamily, 28% commercial and 10% residential and other.
At March 31, 2017, we and our equity partners held a real estate and real estate related investment portfolio with assets at a carrying value of approximately $11.2 billion, with approximately 56% net debt to gross assets ratio. We have an average ownership interest across all of our investments of approximately 40% as of March 31, 2017.
    

35


Our investment account increased during the year primarily due to fair value increases recognized on certain investments accounted for under fair value, mainly our investment in VHH. Noncontrolling interest increased during the year by $24.8 million due to foreign currency translation and hedge gains and income earned on investments that had noncontrolling interests. These increases were primarily offset by $7.8 million in net distributions primarily relating to our increased ownership in KWE, distributions relating to property sales and investing distributions from debt refinancings.
The following table describes our investment account (Kennedy Wilson's equity in real estate and loans secured by real estate), which includes the following financial statement captions and is derived from the consolidated balance sheets, as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016:

Our investment management platform utilizes a number of different investment vehicles for which we provide acquisition, asset management and financing, and other investment-related services, and typically includes a co-investment from us.

Through our fund management business we have five closed end funds that we seek to generate attractive, risk adjusted returns.
KWE
In 2014 we launched KWE a closed end fund on the London Stock Exchange that specializes in investing in real estate and real estate related assets in Europe. We are the largest shareholder of KWE and also externally manage it through one of our wholly-owned subsidiaries whom we refer to as KWE Manager pursuant to an investment management agreement whereby we are entitled to receive certain management and performance fees.
Commingled funds
We have five closed end funds that we manage and receive investment management fees. Most recently, we completed fund-raising for our fifth value-add fund, Kennedy Wilson Fund V, a $500 million private fund targeting the Western U.S. We are the largest investor in the fund with a 12% interest. Fund V has a current portfolio of 16 investments with an aggregate purchase price of $865.3 million, with $135.0 million of undrawn commitments.
Separate accounts
We have a few equity partners that have separate account agreements with us. As part of the agreement we act as the general partner and receive investment management fees including potential performance fees.

Kennedy Wilson Europe Real Estate Plc (LSE: KWE)
KWE closed its initial public offering in February 2014 and a follow-on offering in October 2014, raising an aggregate of approximately $2.2 billion in gross proceeds.  KWE, whose ordinary shares are listed on the London Stock Exchange’s main market and who is a member of the FTSE 250 Index, acquires real estate and real estate-related assets in Europe. As of March 31, 2017, KWE has 219 real estate assets with approximately 11.6 million square feet and totaling $3.6 billion in portfolio value (primarily located in the U.K. and Ireland), which KWE currently expects to produce over $203 million of annualized net operating income (net rental income for property portfolios, EBITDA for hotels and interest income for loan portfolios). As of March 31, 2017, Kennedy Wilson owns approximately 29.8 million ordinary shares of KWE (with a cost basis of $490.1 million) or approximately 23.65% of the total issued share capital of KWE.
KWE is externally managed by one of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, KWE Manager, pursuant to an investment management agreement whereby are entitled to receive certain management and performance fees.  KWE Manager is entitled to an annual management fee (payable quarterly in arrears) equal to 1% of KWE’s adjusted net asset value (reported by KWE to be £1.7 billion at March 31, 2017) and certain performance fees.  The management fee payable to KWE Manager is paid half in cash and half in shares of KWE.  During the three months ended March 31, 2017, KWH earned $4.8 million in management fees from KWE.
We are also entitled to receive an annual performance fee equal to 20% of the lesser of (i) the excess of the shareholder return for the relevant year (defined as the change in KWE’s adjusted net asset value per ordinary share plus dividends paid) over a 10% annual return hurdle, and (ii) the excess of year-end adjusted net asset value per ordinary share over a “high water mark.” The performance fee is payable in shares of KWE that vest equally over a three-year period. The Company has not accrued an annual performance fee for the three months ended March 31, 2017.
The compensation committee of our board of directors approved and reserved up to thirty percent (30%) of any performance fees earned by us to be allocated to certain employees. As of March 31, 2017, awards representing approximately twenty-five percent (25%) of the performance fees have been allocated to certain employees through individual award letters. The award letters provide that the employee’s right to receive the RSUs is subject the employee’s continued employment with us through the applicable grant date, and that upon a termination of the employee’s employment for any reason, the employee will have no right to receive further RSU awards. The award letter, and the employee’s right to receive future RSU awards, may be amended or terminated at any time by us in our discretion without the employee’s consent or approval, and we may, in our discretion, reduce or otherwise modify the employee’s award percentage (including a reduction to 0%) at any time. In March 2016, we granted 30% of the performance fees that we received for our management of KWE in 2015 ("Outstanding KWE RSUs") as equity-based compensation to certain of our employees in the form of restricted stock units that vest over a three-year period.  Until and unless the restricted stock units vest, we will continue to own the underlying KWE shares.  As mentioned above, we have agreed, pursuant to individual award letters, to allocate 25% of any future performance fees similarly to such employees, subject to certain conditions but the compensation committee may grant the remaining 5% to our employees. In connection with the proposed combination transaction between the Company and KWE that the Company announced on April 24, 2017 and discussed below, all unvested Outstanding KWE RSUs will vest prior to the consummation of the proposed transaction. 
Due to the terms of the investment management agreement and Kennedy Wilson's equity ownership interest in KWE, pursuant to the guidance set forth in FASB Accounting Standards Codification Subtopic 810 - Consolidation (“Subtopic 810”), the results and financial position of KWE are consolidated in our financial statements. As such, fees earned by KWE Manager are

38


eliminated in the attached consolidated financial statements. Pursuant to the investment management agreement, subject to certain exceptions, KWE will be provided priority access to all real estate or real estate loan opportunities sourced by us in Europe that are within the parameters of KWE’s investment policy. Compensation and certain general and administrative expenses relating to KWE is borne by Kennedy Wilson as employees of the Company work on behalf of KWE Manager.

Investment Management and Real Estate Services Assets under Management (IMRES AUM)
IMRES AUM generally refers to the properties and other assets with respect to which we provide (or participate in) oversight, investment management services and other advice, and which generally consist of real estate properties or loans and

41


investments in joint ventures. Our IMRES AUM is principally intended to reflect the extent of our presence in the real estate market, not the basis for determining our management fees. Our IMRES AUM consists of the total estimated fair value of the real estate properties and other real estate related assets either owned by third parties, wholly owned by us or held by joint ventures and other entities in which our sponsored funds or investment vehicles and client accounts have invested. Committed (but unfunded) capital from investors in our sponsored funds is not included in our IMRES AUM. The estimated value of development properties is included at estimated completion cost.
The table below details the changes our IMRES AUM for the three months ended March 31, 2017:

(1) Includes the total capitalization of KWE based on KWE's period-end share price.
IMRES AUM remained flat at $17.2 billion as of March 31, 2017. The increases are due to new acquisitions, appreciation in the value of investments, and foreign currency gains in the Company's investments and services segment due to the strengthening of the GBP quarter over quarter. This is offset by decreases due to dispositions of commercial and multifamily assets, collection of a previously outstanding loan, funding of capital commitments, and pay downs of investment debt.
Foreign currency and currency derivative instruments
Please refer to item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk for our discussion regarding foreign currency and currency derivative instruments.

Share Repurchase
As of March 31, 2017, the Company has repurchased and retired 2.5 million shares for an aggregate purchase price of $52 million out of its $100 million authorization that runs through February 2018. Future purchases under the program may be made in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, with the amount and timing of the repurchases depending on market conditions and subject to the Company's discretion and compliance with applicable rules and regulations.
Foreign Currency Fluctuations and Hedging
For 1Q-2017, changes in foreign currency rates reduced consolidated revenue by 7% and Adjusted EBITDA by 3% compared to foreign currency rates as of March 31, 2016. During the quarter, the net increase in shareholder's equity related to fluctuations in foreign currency and related hedges (in the GBP, EUR and JPY) was $5.4 million.
Subsequent Events
On April 24, 2017, the Company announced that Kennedy Wilson and KWE had reached agreement on the terms of a recommended combination, which the Company believes will create a leading real estate investment and asset management platform. As a result of the transaction, KWE will become a wholly owned subsidiary of KW. The transaction will be effected by means of a court-sanctioned scheme of arrangement under Article 125 of the Companies (Jersey) Law 1991. The transaction is expected to close in 3Q-2017 and is subject to customary closing conditions including, among other things, receipt of KW and KWE shareholder approval. For more information, please refer to Form 8-K filed with the SEC on April 24, 2017 and available at kennedywilson.com.

In April, the Company and its partner sold a 28-acre residential land parcel in Southern California. The land was originally acquired in 2014, after which an extensive entitlement process was completed. The Company received $29 million of proceeds for this non-income producing asset, compared to a cash basis of $21 million, and continues to own, along with its partner, an adjacent entitled five-acre retail parcel.

Subsequent to 1Q-2017, the Company and its equity partner entered into a contract to sell an office building in Los Angeles, California for $69 million, in which the Company has a 52.5% ownership interest. The Company is also under contract to acquire a wholly-owned office building in greater Bellevue, Washington for $153 million. The net result of these two transactions are expected to increase the Company's share of annual Property NOI by $10 million. These transactions are subject to certain closing conditions and there can be no assurances that we will complete them.
Same property analysis
The same property analysis reflects, and is weighted by, Kennedy Wilson's ownership in each underlying property, and excludes Kennedy Wilson's affordable multifamily portfolio. Previously, the Company had presented this analysis without adjusting for Kennedy Wilson's ownership interest. For additional details and the presentation of the analysis under the previous methodology

and a presentation of the affordable multifamily portfolio's same property results, please see the Company’s supplemental financial information available at www.kennedywilson.com.

A significant portion of our investments are in foreign currencies. We do not hedge future operations or cash flows so changes in foreign currency rates will have an impact on our results of operations. We have included the table below to illustrate the impact these fluctuations have had on our revenues, net income and Adjusted EBITDA by applying the applicable exchange rates for the prior year end. Please refer to the Currency Risk - Foreign Currencies section in Item 3 for a discussion of risks relating to foreign currency and our hedging strategy and the "Other Comprehensive Income" section below for a discussion of the balance sheet impact of foreign currency movements on our results of operations.

Hotel income was $29.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 as compared to $29.1 million for the same period in 2016.

Investment management
Investment management generated adjusted fees of $16.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2017 as compared to $17.3 million for the same period in 2016. The decrease is primarily attributable to fund management fees due to fund asset sales subsequent to the first quarter of 2016 resulting in a lower investment basis from which such fees are derived and foreign currency fluctuations.
Real estate related services
Real estate related services fees decreased to $11.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2017 as compared to $12.7 million for the same period in 2016 primarily due to decreased brokerage service fees.
Operating Expenses
Investments Segment Operating Expenses
Operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2017 increased to $128.1 million compared to $123.5 million for the same period in 2016. The increase is primarily attributable to the following:
Rental operating expenses increased by $5.0 million, and depreciation and amortization increased by $1.4 million primarily due to new acquisitions subsequent to the first quarter of 2016.

48


Additionally, during the three months ended March 31, 2017 KWE sold a condominium unit which resulted in $0.7 million of costs of real estate sold as compared to the sale of one condominium unit by KWH which resulted in $1.4 million in costs of real estate sold for the same period in 2016.
Investment Management and Real Estate Services Segment Operating Expenses
Operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2017 decreased to $13.3 million as compared to $15.9 million for the same period in 2016, primarily due to a decrease in accrued discretionary compensation.
Corporate Operating Expenses
Operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2017 were approximately $14.1 million as compared to $23.5 million for the same period in 2016. The decrease is mainly due to the expense taken in 2016 relating to the 60% cliff vesting of restricted stock that was granted in 2012 under the Company’s Amended and Restated 2009 Equity Participation Plan and a decrease in accrued discretionary compensation.
Income from Unconsolidated Investments
     Investments Segment Income from Unconsolidated Investments
During the three months ended March 31, 2017, income from unconsolidated investments was $21.6 million as compared to $18.1 million for the same period in 2016. The decrease is primarily attributable to larger fair value gains in the prior period.
Investment Management and Real Estate Services Segment Income from Unconsolidated Investments
During the three months ended March 31, 2017, income from unconsolidated investments was $0.8 million compared to $1.2 million in 2016. The income recognized relates to our approximate 5% interest in a loan servicing platform in Spain with approximately €23.0 billion of assets under management.
Non-operating Items
Gains on sale of real estate was $5.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to $38.4 million during the same period in 2016. The gains recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2017 relate primarily to the sale of a multifamily property and sales by KWE of non-core assets out of its United Kingdom commercial properties. The gains recognized during the same period in 2016 relate primarily to the sale of a commercial property in the United Kingdom and the sale of 13 commercial properties by KWE.
Acquisition-related expenses were $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to $2.0 million during the same period in 2016. The acquisition related expenses primarily relate to professional fees and the payment of stamp duty taxes in the United Kingdom and Ireland.
Interest expense associated with corporate debt was $15.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 as compared to $12.1 million for the same period in 2016. During the third quarter of 2016, KW Group issued an additional $250.0 million of 5.875% senior unsecured notes due 2024 which resulted in the higher interest expense.
Interest expense associated with investment debt was $34.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 as compared to $32.5 million for the same period in 2016. The increase is due to acquisitions and consolidations subsequent to the first quarter of 2016.
During the three months ended March 31, 2017, KW Group generated pretax book loss of $3.2 million related to its global operations and recorded a tax benefit of $4.1 million. On January 1, 2017, the Company adopted ASU 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, on a modified prospective basisAs a result of the adoption of ASU 2016-09, the Company recorded an adjustment to opening retained earnings of $9.3 million for excess tax benefits from share awards which had not been recognized under the prior accounting standard. In addition, during the quarter ended March 31, 2017, the Company realized excess tax benefits of $12.4 million from the vesting of restricted stock awards and dividends on restricted stock, which resulted in a tax benefit of $4.3 million. The difference between the U.S. federal rate of 35% and the Company's effective rate is primarily attributable to excess tax benefits from restricted stock awards and income earned by noncontrolling interests which is generally not subject to corporate taxes.
We had net income of $0.1 million attributable to noncontrolling interests during the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to $27.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2016. The income attributable to noncontrolling interest in the period ended March 31, 2016 was primarily due to gains on sales of properties.
Preferred dividends and accretion of preferred stock issue costs were $0.0 million and $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Due to the conversion of all outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock on December 28, 2016, there was no Preferred Stock outstanding during the three months ended March 31, 2017.

Other Comprehensive Income
The two major components that drive the change in other comprehensive income are the change in foreign currency rates and the gains or loss of any associated foreign currency hedges. Please refer to the Currency Risk - Foreign Currencies section in Item 3 for a discussion of our risks relating to foreign currency and our hedging strategy. Below is a table that details the activity for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016.

Other comprehensive income (loss), net of taxes and noncontrolling interests, for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 was income of $5.1 million and $0.9 million, respectively.  The unrealized foreign currency translation income, net of taxes and noncontrolling interests, was income of $5.4 million and $7.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The gains relating to unrealized foreign currency translation increased during the current period due to the strengthening of the pound sterling and euro against the U.S. dollar.
The unrealized foreign currency derivative contract loss, net of taxes and non-controlling interests, during the current quarter was a loss of $0.3 million and $6.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The loss in both periods were due to the appreciation of the underlying currencies the contracts were hedging.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our liquidity and capital resources requirements include acquisitions of real estate and real estate related assets, capital expenditures for consolidated real estate and unconsolidated investments and working capital needs. We finance these activities with internally generated funds, borrowings under our revolving lines of credit, sales of equity and debt securities and cash out refinancings to the extent they are available and fit within our overall portfolio leverage strategy. Our investments in real estate are typically financed with equity from our balance sheet, third party equity and mortgage loans secured primarily by that real estate. These mortgage loans are generally nonrecourse in that, in the event of default, recourse will be limited to the mortgaged property serving as collateral, subject to limited customary exceptions. In some cases, we guarantee a portion of the loan related to a consolidated property or an unconsolidated investment, usually until some condition, such as completion of construction or leasing or certain net operating income criteria, has been met. We do not expect these guarantees to materially affect liquidity or capital resources. Please refer to the "Off Balance Sheet Arrangements" section for further information. Historically, we have not required significant capital resources to support our IMRES business.
Our short-term liquidity requirements primarily consist of operating expenses and other expenditures associated with our properties, dividend payments to our stockholders, capital expenditures and, potentially, acquisitions. We expect to meet our short-term liquidity requirements through our existing cash and cash equivalents plus capital generated from our IMRES business, sales of real estate, collections from loans and loan pools, as well as availability on our current revolving lines of credit (which was undrawn as of March 31, 2017). As of March 31, 2017, we and our consolidated subsidiaries (including KWE) had approximately $1.6 billion of potential liquidity, which includes approximately $757 million of availability under lines of credit and $808 million of cash for KWH and KWE, collectively.
Our need to raise funds from time to time to meet our capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the success and pace of the implementation of our strategy for strategic and accretive growth. Additionally, we may opportunistically
seek to raise capital (equity or debt) when we believe market conditions are favorable and consistent with our growth strategy.  In addition, we may seek third party financing to the extent that we engage in additional strategic investments, including capital necessary to execute potential development or redevelopment strategies or acquisition of real estate, note portfolios, or other real estate related companies or real estate related securities. 
Development and redevelopment
Kennedy Wilson has a number of development, redevelopment and entitlement projects that are underway or in the planning stages.  These initiatives may ultimately result in 1,837 multifamily units, 542,000 commercial rentable square feet, and 525 residential units, along with substantial upgrades to certain multifamily and commercial properties and hotels (figures exclude similar projects owned by KWE). If these projects were brought to completion the estimated remaining capital would be approximately $1.6 billion which we expect would be funded through our existing equity, third party equity, project sales and secured debt financing.  This represents total capital over the life of the projects and is not a representation of peak equity and does not take into account any distributions over the course of the investment. As of March 31, 2017, we expect to invest $164.4 million cash commitments to develop to completion or complete the entitlement process on these projects. These figures are budgeted costs and are subject to change. We and our equity partners are under no obligation to complete these projects and may dispose of any such assets after adding value through the entitlement process.  In many cases, we allocated little to no basis to the land that was acquired in conjunction with nearby income producing properties.
We are currently developing “Capital Dock,” a prime waterfront 690,000 square feet commercial and multifamily development located in Dublin, Ireland.  The development is currently being funded with equity from us and our equity partners.   We hold a 42.5% interest in the development and as of March 31, 2017 we have invested $51.7 million of equity in the project. Additionally, during the three months March 31, 2017, we contributed a total of $4.7 million to the project.  We currently expect to complete the development by 2018 with additional equity from us of approximately $55.2 million.  This is a budgeted figure, however, and is subject to change (increase or decrease) due to a number of factors, including: (i) we are developing this project under a construction management contract with the general contractor and therefore could be called upon to contribute additional capital in the event that actual costs exceed budgeted costs (currently approximately 80% of the budgeted costs have been fixed under price-capped agreements between the general contractor and various subcontractors); and (ii) we and our equity partners may look to secure third-party construction financing to fund all or a portion of the construction costs.  We and our equity partners are under no obligation to complete this project and we could decide to sell the asset before the development is complete.  In addition to Capital Dock, we are concurrently building approximately 417 multifamily units in Dublin, Ireland. 
Consolidated and unconsolidated investment portfolio
In addition to our development and redevelopment initiatives we regularly implement a value add approach to our consolidated and unconsolidated investments which includes rehabbing properties and adding or updating property amenities.  The capital required to implement these value add initiatives is typically funded with capital calls, refinancing or supplemental financings at the property level.  We are not required to make these investments but they are a key driver in our ability to increase net operating income at our properties post acquisition. We typically invest $5 million to $10 million a year to fund capital expenditures for our consolidated and unconsolidated investment portfolio.

Under our current joint venture strategy, we generally contribute property expertise and a fully funded initial cash contribution, with commitments to provide additional funding. Accordingly, we generally do not have significant capital commitments with unconsolidated entities. As of March 31, 2017, we have unfulfilled capital commitments totaling $19.4 million to our unconsolidated investments.

Foreign subsidiaries
The Company has subsidiaries in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Luxembourg, Spain and Jersey which manage our European real estate investments as well as subsidiaries in Ireland and Scotland that operate hotel businesses. As of March 31, 2017, two of our subsidiaries foreign subsidiaries have positive, accumulated earnings of $3.9 million.  U.S. domestic taxes have not been provided on amounts earned by such foreign companies since it is our plan to indefinitely reinvest amounts earned by these foreign subsidiaries. If these earnings were repatriated to the United States, additional U.S. domestic taxes of $1.2 million would be incurred.
Cash Flows
Operating
Our cash flows from operating activities are primarily dependent upon operations from consolidated properties, the operating distributions from our unconsolidated investments, revenues from our IMRES business net of operating expenses and other general and administrative costs.  Substantially all cash flows provided by and used in operations of $11.2 million and $8.9

50


million for the three months March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, are due to rental payments derived from our rental properties and operating distributions from our unconsolidated investments. These amounts are offset from the payment of annual discretionary compensation during the first quarter in both periods and interest expense to fund our investment business.
Investing
Our cash flows from investing activities are generally comprised of cash used to fund property acquisitions, investments in unconsolidated investments, capital expenditures, purchases of loans secured by real estate, as well as return of capital investments from dispositions or refinances on our investments and resolutions in our loan participations and loan pools. Net cash used in investing activities totaled $9.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017. KW Group invested $47.0 million for additions to real estate (including $15.9 million by KWE). KW Group collected $6.4 million on a loan secured by an office property in San Diego, CA during the first quarter. In addition to this sale, KW Group received $40.3 million from the sale of real estate in Europe and the Western U.S. (including $12.5 million by KWE).
Net cash provided by investing activities totaled $148.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016. This was primarily due to $102.2 million of purchases and additions to real estate by KW Group (including $72.4 million by KWE) which mainly included 171 properties across the United Kingdom. In addition, KW Group received $130.2 million from the sale of a portfolio of loans by KWE during the quarter. In addition to this sale, KW Group received $108.0 million mainly from the sale of real estate mainly in Europe.
Financing
Our net cash related to financing activities are generally impacted by capital-raising activities net of dividends and distributions paid to common and preferred shareholders and noncontrolling interests as well as financing activities for consolidated real estate investments.  Net cash used in financing activities totaled $88.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017.  Cash used primarily consisted of repayment of $56.5 million of investment debt, of which $22.7 million were related to repayments by KWE, distributions of $15.9 million to noncontrolling interest holders, the repurchase and retirement of common stock of 29.2 million. These were partially offset by proceeds of $24.0 million from mortgage loans to finance and refinance consolidated property acquisitions.
Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $26.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016. KW Group received proceeds of $126.2 million from mortgage loans to finance and refinance consolidated property acquisitions (including $94.6 million by KWE). These were partially offset by repayment of $41.1 million of investment debt, of which $22.2 million were related to repayments by KWE and distributions of $43.7 million to noncontrolling interest holders mainly due to the sale of our Japanese multifamily portfolio.

Indebtedness and Related Covenants
The following describes our corporate indebtedness and related covenants.
Senior Notes Payable
In March 2014, Kennedy-Wilson, Inc., completed a public offering of $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.875% Senior Notes due 2024 (the “2024 Notes”), for approximately $290.7 million, net of discount and estimated offering expenses. The 2024 Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture dated as of March 25, 2014, by and among Kennedy-Wilson, Inc., as issuer, and Wilmington Trust National Association, as trustee, as supplemented by a supplemental indenture, dated as of March 25, 2014, by and between Kennedy-Wilson, Inc. as issuer, Kennedy-Wilson Holdings, Inc., as parent guarantor, certain subsidiaries of the issuer, as subsidiary guarantors, and Wilmington Trust National Association, as trustee (the indenture, as so supplemented, the “2024 Indenture”). The issuer's obligations under the 2024 Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Kennedy-Wilson Holdings, Inc. and the subsidiary guarantors. At any time prior to April 1, 2019, the issuer may redeem the 2024 Notes, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of their principal amount, plus an applicable “make-whole” premium and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date. At any time and from time to time on or after April 1, 2019, the issuer may redeem the 2024 Notes, in whole or in part, at the redemption price specified in the 2024 Indenture, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date. Prior to April 1, 2017, the issuer may also redeem up to 35% of the 2024 Notes from the proceeds of certain equity offerings. Interest on the 2024 Notes accrues at a rate of 5.875% per annum and is payable semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year, commencing on October 1, 2014. The 2024 Notes will mature on April 1, 2024. In November 2014 and August 2016, we completed two additional public offerings of $350 million and $250 million, respectively, aggregate principal amounts of 5.875% Senior Notes, due 2024 (the “Additional Notes”). The Additional Notes have substantially identical terms as the 2024 Notes described above, and are treated as a single series with the 2024 Notes under such 2024 Indenture. The Additional Notes were issued and sold at a public offering prices of 100.0% of their principal amount, plus accrued interest. The amount of the 2024 Notes included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets was $897.9 million at March 31, 2017.

In November and December 2012, Kennedy-Wilson, Inc. completed a public offering of $55.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7.750% Senior Notes due 2042 (the "2042 Notes"). The 2042 Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture dated as of November 28, 2012, by and among Kennedy-Wilson, Inc., as issuer, Kennedy-Wilson Holdings, Inc., as parent guarantor, certain subsidiaries of the issuer, as subsidiary guarantees and Wilmington Trust National Association, as trustee, as amended by various subsequent supplemental indentures. The issuer's obligations under the 2042 Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Kennedy Wilson and the subsidiary guarantors. At any time prior to December 1, 2017, the issuer may redeem the 2042 Notes, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of their principal amount, plus an applicable “make-whole” premium and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date. At any time and from time to time on or after December 1, 2017, the issuer may redeem the 2042 Notes, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date. Interest on the 2042 Notes accrues at a rate of 7.750% per annum and is payable quarterly in arrears on March 1, June 1, September 1 and December 1 of each year, commencing on March 1, 2013. The 2042 Notes will mature on December 1, 2042. The amount of the 2042 Notes included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets was $55.0 million at March 31, 2017.
KWE Senior Notes Payable

52


In June 2015, KWE completed its inaugural bond offering ("KWE Bonds") of approximately $376.5 million (based on
March 31, 2017 rates) (£300 million) in 3.95% fixed-rate senior unsecured bonds due 2022. In September 2016, KWE completed an additional bond offering of approximately $251.0 million (based on March 31, 2017 rates) (£200 million) under the same indenture as the KWE Bonds mentioned above. The KWE Bonds have a carrying value of $627.5 million at March 31, 2017. KWE effectively reduced the interest rate to 3.35% as a result of it entering into swap arrangements to convert 50% of the proceeds into Euros.
    
In addition, during the fourth quarter of 2015, KWE established a £2.0 billion (approximately $2.5 billion based on March 31, 2017 rates) Euro Medium Term Note Programme ("EMTN"). Under the EMTN Programme, KWE may issue, from time to time, up to £2.0 billion of various types of debt securities in certain markets and currencies. During the fourth quarter of 2015 and second quarter of 2016, KWE drew down under its EMTN Programme, with the issuances of senior unsecured notes for an aggregate principal amount of approximately $585.9 million (€550 million) (the "KWE Notes"). The KWE Notes were issued at a discount and have a carrying value of $581.7 million have an annual fixed coupon of 3.25%, and mature in 2025. The KWE Notes rank pari passu with the KWE Bonds, and are subject to the same restrictive covenants.

The KWE Bonds and KWE Notes require KWE to maintain (i) consolidated net indebtedness (as defined in the trust deed for the notes) of no more than 60% of the total asset value; (ii) consolidated secured indebtedness (less cash and cash equivalents) of no more than 50% of total asset value; (iii) an interest coverage ratio of at least 1.5 to 1.0, and (iv) unencumbered assets of no less than 125% of the unsecured indebtedness (less cash & cash equivalents). The covenants associated with KWE Bonds and KWE Notes are not an obligation of KWH and these amounts are presented as a component of our investment debt as it is an unsecured obligation relating to an underlying investment of ours.
Borrowings Under Line of Credit
On December 10, 2015, Kennedy-Wilson, Inc. (the “Borrower”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of KWH entered into a $475.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility (the “KW Revolving Facility”) with a syndicate of lenders including JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch, U.S. Bank N.A., East West Bank, Fifth Third Bank, The Governor and Company of the Bank of Ireland, Compass Bank and City National Bank and Bank of America, N.A., acting as administrative agent and letter of credit issuer. Loans under the KW Revolving Facility bear interest at a rate equal to LIBOR plus 2.50% or 3.00%, depending on the consolidated leverage ratio as of the applicable measurement date, and have a maturity date of December 10, 2018. Subject to certain conditions precedent and at the Borrower’s option, the maturity date of the KW Revolving Facility may be extended by one year. As of March 31, 2017, the secured credit facility was undrawn, with $475.0 million still available.
KWE Facility
In August 2014, KWE entered into a three-year unsecured floating rate revolving debt facility ("KWE Facility") with Bank of America Merrill Lynch, Deutsche Bank, and J.P. Morgan Chase of approximately $282.4 million (£225 million) with a syndicate of banks. The KWE Facility requires KWE to maintain (i) a maximum consolidated leverage ratio (as defined in the revolving loan agreement) of no more than 60%; (ii) a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio where consolidated EBITDA to consolidated fixed charges is no less than 1.9 to 1.0 for the last four quarters; (iii) unencumbered assets of no less than 125% of the unsecured indebtedness (less cash & cash equivalents); and (iv) a maximum secured recourse indebtedness for consolidated secured recourse debt to not exceed 2.5% of total asset value at any time. As of March 31, 2017, the unsecured credit facility was undrawn, with $282.4 million (£225 million) still available based on rates as of March 31, 2017.
Debt Covenants
The KW Revolving Facility and the indentures governing the 2024 Notes and 2042 Notes contain numerous restrictive
covenants that, among other things, limit Kennedy Wilson's and certain of its subsidiaries' ability to incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends or make distributions to stockholders, repurchase capital stock or debt, make investments, sell assets or subsidiary stock, create or permit liens on assets, engage in transactions with affiliates, enter into sale/leaseback transactions, issue subsidiary equity and enter into consolidations or mergers. The KW Revolving Facility requires Kennedy Wilson to maintain a minimum tangible net worth and a specified amount of cash and cash equivalents.
    
The credit agreement that governs the KW Revolving Facility requires us to maintain (i) a maximum consolidated leverage ratio (as defined in the credit agreement) of not greater than 65%, measured as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, (ii) a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio (as defined in the credit agreement) of not less than 1.60 to 1.00, measured as of the last day of each fiscal quarter for the period of four full fiscal quarters then ended, (iii) a minimum consolidated tangible net worth equal to or greater than the sum of $920.7 million plus an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of net equity proceeds received by the Company after September 30, 2015, measured as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, (iv) a maximum recourse leverage ratio (as defined in the credit agreement) of not greater than an amount equal to consolidated tangible net worth as of the measurement date multiplied by 1.5, measured as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, (v) a maximum secured recourse leverage ratio (as defined in the credit

53


agreement) of not greater than an amount equal to 3.5% of consolidated total asset value (as defined in the credit agreement) and $138.2 million, (vi) a maximum adjusted secured leverage ratio (as defined in the credit agreement) of not greater than 55%, measured as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, and (vii) liquidity (as defined in the credit agreement) of at least $250 million.

As of March 31, 2017, our consolidated leverage ratio was 61.9%, its fixed charge coverage ratio was 2.5 to 1.00, its consolidated tangible net worth was $1,214.5 million, its adjusted secured leverage ratio was 45%, its secured recourse leverage ratio was 1.4%, its recourse leverage ratio was 0.84, and liquidity was $615.0 million. The obligations of the Borrower pursuant to the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by KWH and certain of its wholly-owned subsidiaries.

The indentures governing the 2024 Notes and 2042 Notes limit Kennedy-Wilson, Inc.'s ability to incur additional indebtedness if, on the date of such incurrence and after giving effect to the new indebtedness, Kennedy-Wilson, Inc.'s maximum balance sheet leverage ratio (as defined in the indenture) is greater than 1.50 to 1.00. As of March 31, 2017, the balance sheet leverage ratio was 0.93 to 1.00.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have provided guarantees associated with loans secured by consolidated assets. At March 31, 2017, the maximum potential amount of future payments (undiscounted) we could be required to make under the guarantees was approximately $50.4 million. The guarantees expire through 2026, and our performance under the guarantees would be required to the extent there is a shortfall upon liquidation between the principal amount of the loan and the net sale proceeds of the applicable properties. If we were to become obligated to perform on these guarantees, it could have an adverse effect on our financial condition.
As of March 31, 2017, we have unfulfilled capital commitments totaling $19.4 million to our unconsolidated investments. As we identify investment opportunities in the future, we may be called upon to contribute additional capital to unconsolidated investments in satisfaction of our capital commitment obligations.
Please refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 for discussion of our non-recourse carve-out guarantees arrangements, as there have been no material changes to that disclosure.

Item 3.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Our primary market risk exposure relates to changes in interest rates in connection with our short-term borrowings, some of which bear interest at variable rates based on the lender’s base rate, prime rate, EURIBOR, GBP LIBOR, or LIBOR plus an applicable borrowing margin. These borrowings do not give rise to a significant interest rate risk because they have short maturities. However, the amount of income or loss we recognize for unconsolidated joint ventures or consolidated interest expense from property level debt may be impacted by changes in interest rates. Historically, the impact from the changes in rates has not been significant. Our exposure to market risk also consists of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations related to our international operations.
Interest Rate Risk
We have established an interest rate management policy, which attempts to minimize our overall cost of debt while taking into consideration the earnings implications associated with the volatility of short-term interest rates. As part of this policy, we have elected to maintain a combination of variable and fixed rate debt. As of March 31, 2017, 80% of our consolidated level debt is fixed rate, 12% is floating rate with interest caps and 8% is floating rate without interest caps.

We hold variable rate debt on some of our consolidated properties that are subject to interest rate fluctuations.  In order to mitigate some of the risk associated with increasing interest rates we have purchased interest rate caps that limit the amount that interest expense can increase with rate increases.  However, some of its debt is uncapped and the mortgages that do have interest caps are subject to increased interest expense until rates hit the level of caps that have been purchased.  If there was a 100 basis point increase or decrease, we would have a $7.9 million increase in interest expense or $4.3 million in interest expense savings during 2017 on our current consolidated mortgages.  The weighted average maturity of KW Group’s variable rate mortgages is approximately 4 years as of March 31, 2017.
The table below represents contractual balances of our financial instruments at the expected maturity dates as well as the fair value as of March 31, 2017. The weighted average interest rate for the various assets and liabilities presented are actual as of March 31, 2017. We closely monitor the fluctuation in interest rates, and if rates were to increase significantly, we believe that we would be able to either hedge the change in the interest rate or refinance the loans with fixed interest rate debt. All instruments included in this analysis are non-trading.

Currency Risk - Foreign Currencies
The financial statements of KW Group's subsidiaries located outside the United States are measured using the local currency as this is their functional currency. The assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries are translated at the rates of exchange at the balance sheet date, and income and expenses are translated at the average monthly rate. The foreign currencies primarily include the euro and the British pound sterling. Cumulative translation adjustments, to the extent not included in cumulative net income, are included in the consolidated statement of equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income. Currency translation gains and losses and currency derivative gains and losses will remain in other comprehensive income until the Company substantially liquidates its investment in KWE. 
As discussed throughout this report, we are required under U.S. GAAP to consolidate certain non-wholly owned subsidiaries or investments that we control.  As such, our financial statements reflect currency translation adjustments and related hedging activities on a gross basis. In many instances, these fluctuations are not reflective of the actual foreign currency exposure of the underlying consolidated subsidiary. For example, we are required to translate the activities of KWE into US dollars even though KWE does not invest in US dollar denominated assets.  Therefore, it is important to look at the provided currency translation and currency derivative adjustment information net of noncontrolling interests to get a more accurate understanding of our actual currency exposure.
As our business in Europe continues to grow, primarily due to the growth of KWE, fluctuations in the Euro and GBP foreign exchange rates will have a greater impact on our business. In order to manage the effect of these fluctuations, we typically hedge 50%-100% of foreign currency exchange rate risk associated with our net cost basis in certain non-U.S. operations through the use of currency derivative contracts such as foreign currency forward contracts and options. Our service businesses typically do not require much capital so foreign currency translation and derivative activity primarily relates to the investments segment as that has greater balance sheet exposure to foreign currency fluctuations.
We hedge the GBP exposure related to our investment in the KWE shares as KWE’s functional currency is GBP.  However, approximately 40% of KWE investments are Euro denominated investments. KWE generally hedges its net cost basis in the Euro denominated assets. As such, to provide a more accurate picture of KW's actual GBP and euro exposure, in the table below we included KWE’s euro denominated investments in the GBP column. 
We typically have not hedged the impact of foreign currency fluctuations may have on our future operations or cash flows. The costs to operate these businesses, such as compensation, overhead and interest expense are incurred in local currencies. As we are not currently hedging these amounts there will be foreign currency impact on our results of operations for both the services and investment segments.
As the total amount of assets denominated in foreign currencies has grown due to KW Group's expansion in Europe, we have also increased the amount of corresponding foreign currency derivative contracts. As of March 31, 2017, approximately

56


36% of our investment account is invested through our foreign platforms in their local currencies. Investment level debt is generally incurred in local currencies and therefore we consider our equity investment as the appropriate exposure to evaluate for hedging purposes.
The table below shows the Company's investment account and consolidated cash position by currency as well as any hedges on those currencies as of March 31, 2017 and the impact of a 10% fluctuation in rates.

Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report, we conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the record period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms.
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II
OTHER INFORMATION
 
Item 1.
Legal Proceedings
We may be involved in various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, none of which are currently material to our business and our financial statements taken as a whole. From time to time, our real estate management division is named in “slip and fall” type litigation relating to buildings we manage. Our standard management agreement contains an indemnity provision whereby the building owner indemnifies and agrees to defend our real estate management division against such claims. In such cases, we are defended by the building owner’s liability insurer.
Item 1A.
Risk Factors

We may not complete the acquisition of KWE within the time frame we anticipate or at all, which could have a negative effect on our business and our results of operations.
As previously disclosed, on April 24, 2017, the Company issued an announcement (the “Rule 2.7 Announcement”) pursuant to Rule 2.7 of the United Kingdom City Code on Takeovers and Mergers disclosing the terms of a recommended offer by the Company to acquire all of the outstanding shares (other than shares owned by the Company or its subsidiaries or held in treasury) of KWE in an all-stock transaction (the “Transaction”).  The Transaction is subject to a number of closing conditions, such as, among other things, approval by each company’s shareholders and regulatory approval.  These conditions may not be satisfied or may take longer than expected to be satisfied. The Transaction is also subject to other risks and uncertainties. We and KWE have already devoted substantial time and resources and incurred substantial costs in connection with the Transaction, many of which must be paid even if the Transaction is not completed, which could have an adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. We cannot provide any assurance that the Transaction will be completed or that there will not be a delay in the completion of the Transaction. If the Transaction is not consummated, our and/or KWE’s reputation in our industry and in the investment community could be damaged, and the market price of our and/or KWE’s common stock could decline.

If the Transaction with KWE is completed, we may not achieve the intended benefits and the Transaction may disrupt our current plans or operations.
There can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully realize the expected benefits of the Transaction. Following the completion of the Transaction, we will have significantly more financial exposure to KWE’s performance than we do presently, and adverse changes in KWE’s business or finances could adversely affect us to a greater extent than presently.  In addition, our business may be negatively impacted following the Transaction if we are unable to effectively manage the resulting enlarged company. If we complete the acquisition but do not realize some or all of its intended benefits, we may be unable to, among other things, increase our dividend in the timeframe or to the extent we currently anticipate, or at all.

The discussion of our business and operations in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read together with the risk factors contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, filed with the SEC, which describe various risks and uncertainties to which we are or may become subject. There were no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in Item 1A of our report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016.

(1) On February 25, 2016, our board of directors authorized us to repurchase up to $100 million of its common shares, from time to time, subject to market conditions.

In addition to the repurchases of the Company’s common stock made above, the Company also withheld shares with respect to the vesting of restricted stock that the Company made to its employees.  Shares that vested during the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 were net-share settled such that the Company withheld shares with value equivalent to the employees’ minimum statutory obligation for the applicable income and other employment taxes, and remitted the cash to the appropriate taxing authorities.  During the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, total payments for the employees’ tax obligations to the taxing authorities were $27.5 million (1,114,903 shares withheld) and $8.1 million (396,442 shares withheld), respectively.
