Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, or this Report, including Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in Item 2 of Part I of this Report, contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws.

These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words “believe,” “project,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “strategy,” “plan,” “may,” “should,” “will,” “would,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” and similar expressions. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding: the amount and timing of any future dividends; statements regarding our corporate strategy and underlying assumptions about our portfolio (e.g. occupancy rate, lease terms, and tenant credit quality, including our expectations about tenant bankruptcies and interest coverage), possible new acquisitions and dispositions, and our international exposure; our future capital expenditure levels, including any plans to fund our future liquidity needs, and future leverage and debt service obligations; our capital structure; statements that we make regarding our ability to remain qualified for taxation as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, and the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act in the United States; the impact of recently issued accounting pronouncements; other regulatory activity, such as the General Data Protection Regulation in the European Union or other data privacy initiatives; and the general economic outlook. It is important to note that our actual results could be materially different from those projected in such forward-looking statements. Other unknown or unpredictable factors could also have material adverse effects on our business, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations, Modified funds from operations, or MFFO, and prospects. You should exercise caution in relying on forward-looking statements as they involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may materially affect our future results, performance, achievements, or transactions. Information on factors that could impact actual results and cause them to differ from what is anticipated in the forward-looking statements contained herein is included in this Report as well as in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, including but not limited to those described in Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, as filed with the SEC on March 12, 2018, or the 2017 Annual Report. Moreover, because we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment, new risks are likely to emerge from time to time. Given these risks and uncertainties, shareholders are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements as a prediction of future results, which speak only as of the date of this Report, unless noted otherwise. Except as required by federal securities laws and the rules and regulations of the SEC, we do not undertake to revise or update any forward-looking statements.

All references to “Notes” throughout the document refer to the footnotes to the condensed consolidated financial statements of the registrant in Part I, Item 1. Financial Statements (Unaudited).

CORPORATE PROPERTY ASSOCIATES 18 – GLOBAL INCORPORATED
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

Note 1. Organization

Organization

Corporate Property Associates 18 – Global Incorporated, or CPA:18 – Global, and, together with its consolidated subsidiaries, we, us, or our, is a publicly owned, non-traded REIT, that invests primarily in a diversified portfolio of income-producing commercial real estate properties leased to companies and other real estate related assets, both domestically and internationally. We were formed in 2012 and are managed by W. P. Carey Inc., or WPC, through one of its subsidiaries, or collectively, our Advisor. As a REIT, we are not subject to U.S. federal income taxation as long as we satisfy certain requirements, principally relating to the nature of our income and the level of our distributions, among other factors. We earn revenue primarily by leasing the properties we own to single corporate tenants, predominantly on a triple-net lease basis, which requires the tenant to pay substantially all of the costs associated with operating and maintaining the property. Revenue is subject to fluctuation due to the timing of new lease transactions, lease terminations, lease expirations, contractual rent adjustments, tenant defaults, sales of properties, and changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

Substantially all of our assets and liabilities are held by CPA:18 Limited Partnership, or the Operating Partnership, and at September 30, 2018 we owned 99.97% of general and limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership. The remaining interest in the Operating Partnership is held by a subsidiary of WPC.

At September 30, 2018, our portfolio was comprised of full or partial ownership interests in 59 net-leased properties, substantially all of which were fully-occupied and triple-net leased to 100 tenants totaling 10.2 million square feet. The remainder of our portfolio was comprised of our full or partial ownership interests in 69 self-storage properties and 13 multi-family residential and student-housing properties totaling 6.0 million square feet.

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

We raised aggregate gross proceeds in our initial public offering of approximately $1.2 billion through April 2, 2015, which is the date we closed our offering. We have fully invested the proceeds from our initial public offering. In addition, from inception through September 30, 2018, $142.0 million and $39.6 million of distributions to our shareholders were reinvested in our Class A and Class C common stock, respectively, through our Distribution Reinvestment Plan, or DRIP.

Note 2. Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

Our interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not necessarily include all information and footnotes necessary for a fair statement of our condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or GAAP. The year-end condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP.
 
In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial information for the interim periods presented in this Report reflects all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. Our interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes for the year ended December 31, 2017, which are included in the 2017 Annual Report, as certain disclosures that would substantially duplicate those contained in the audited consolidated financial statements have not been included in this Report. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of operating results for an entire year.
 


CPA:18 – Global 9/30/2018 10-Q 7


Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)


The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and the disclosure of contingent amounts in our condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Basis of Consolidation

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

When we obtain an economic interest in an entity, we evaluate the entity to determine if it should be deemed a variable interest entity, or VIE, and, if so, whether we are the primary beneficiary and are therefore required to consolidate the entity. We apply accounting guidance for consolidation of VIEs to certain entities in which the equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. Fixed price purchase and renewal options within a lease, as well as certain decision-making rights within a loan or joint-venture agreement, can cause us to consider an entity a VIE. Limited partnerships and other similar entities that operate as a partnership will be considered VIEs unless the limited partners hold substantive kick-out rights or participation rights. Significant judgment is required to determine whether a VIE should be consolidated. We review the contractual arrangements provided for in the partnership agreement or other related contracts to determine whether the entity is considered a VIE and to establish whether we have any variable interests in the VIE. We then compare our variable interests, if any, to those of the other variable interest holders to determine which party is the primary beneficiary of the VIE based on whether the entity (i) has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIE and (ii) has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The liabilities of these VIEs are non-recourse to us and can only be satisfied from each VIE’s respective assets.

At September 30, 2018, we considered 19 entities to be VIEs, 18 of which we consolidated as we are considered the primary beneficiary. At December 31, 2017, we considered 12 entities to be VIEs, 11 of which we consolidated. The following table presents a summary of selected financial data of the consolidated VIEs included in the condensed consolidated balance sheets (in thousands):

At both September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, we had one unconsolidated VIE, which we account for under the equity method of accounting. We do not consolidate this entity because we are not the primary beneficiary and the nature of our involvement in the activities of the entity allows us to exercise significant influence on, but does not give us power over, decisions that significantly affect the economic performance of the entity. As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the net carrying amount of this equity investment was $19.8 million and $20.9 million, respectively, and our maximum exposure to loss in this entity is limited to our investment.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)


At times, the carrying value of our equity investment may fall below zero for certain investments. We intend to fund our share of the jointly owned investment’s future operating deficits should the need arise. However, we have no legal obligation to pay for any of the liabilities of such investments nor do we have any legal obligation to fund the operating deficits. At both September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, our sole equity investment did not have a carrying value below zero.

Reclassifications 

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

In the second quarter of 2018, we reclassified notes receivable, equity investment in real estate, and goodwill to be included within Accounts receivable and other assets, net in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Additionally, we reclassified deferred income taxes to be included within Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Prior period balances have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

Restricted Cash — In connection with our adoption of Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash, as described below, we revised our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows to include restricted cash when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period cash amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. As a result, we retrospectively revised prior periods presented to conform to the current period presentation. Restricted cash primarily consists of security deposits and amounts required to be reserved pursuant to lender agreements for debt service, capital improvements, and real estate taxes.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Pronouncements Adopted as of September 30, 2018

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). ASU 2014-09 is a comprehensive new revenue recognition model requiring a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount reflecting the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 does not apply to our lease revenues, which constitute a majority of our revenues, but will primarily apply to revenues generated from our operating properties. We adopted this guidance for our interim and annual periods beginning January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective transition method applied to any contracts not completed as of that date. There were no changes to the prior period presentations of revenue. Results of operations for reporting periods beginning January 1, 2018 are presented under Topic 606. The adoption of Topic 606 did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments — Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. ASU 2016-01 requires all equity investments (other than those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value, with changes in the fair value recognized through net income. We adopted this guidance for our interim and annual periods beginning January 1, 2018. The adoption of ASU 2016-01 did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. ASU 2016-15 intends to reduce diversity in practice for certain cash flow classifications, including, but not limited to (i) debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs, (ii) contingent consideration payments made after a business combination, (iii) proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims, and (iv) distributions received from equity method investees. We retrospectively adopted this guidance for our interim and annual periods beginning January 1, 2018. The adoption of ASU 2016-15 did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash. ASU 2016-18 intends to reduce diversity in practice for the classification and presentation of changes in restricted cash on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-18 requires that the statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Therefore, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. We retrospectively adopted this guidance for our interim and annual periods beginning January 1, 2018. See Restricted Cash above for additional information.



CPA:18 – Global 9/30/2018 10-Q 10


Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)


In February 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-05, Other Income — Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets (Subtopic 610-20): Clarifying the Scope of Asset Derecognition Guidance and Accounting for Partial Sales of Nonfinancial Assets. ASU 2017-05 clarifies the scope and application of Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, 610-20 on the sale or transfer of nonfinancial assets and in substance nonfinancial assets to non-customers, including partial sales. Nonfinancial assets within the scope of this Subtopic include the sale of land, buildings and intangible assets. ASU 2017-05 further clarifies that a financial asset is within the scope of Subtopic 610-20 if it meets the definition of an in substance nonfinancial asset. The amendments define the term “in substance nonfinancial asset,” in part, as a financial asset promised to a counterparty in a contract if substantially all of the fair value of the assets (recognized and unrecognized) that are promised to the counterparty in the contract is concentrated in nonfinancial assets. This amendment also clarifies that nonfinancial assets within the scope of Subtopic 610-20 may include nonfinancial assets transferred within a legal entity to a counterparty. For example, a parent company may transfer control of nonfinancial assets by transferring ownership interests in a consolidated subsidiary. We adopted this guidance for our interim and annual periods beginning January 1, 2018 and applied the modified retrospective transition method (applicable to any contracts not completed as of that date). The adoption of ASU 2017-05 did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework — Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. ASU 2018-13 removes, modifies, and adds certain fair value disclosure requirements. We adopted this guidance for our interim period beginning July 1, 2018. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Pronouncements to be Adopted after September 30, 2018

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). ASU 2016-02 modifies the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of leases for both parties to a contract, the lessee and the lessor. ASU 2016-02 provides new guidelines that change the accounting for leasing arrangements for lessees, whereby their rights and obligations under substantially all leases, existing and new, would be capitalized and recorded on the balance sheet. For lessors, however, the accounting remains largely equivalent to the current model, with the distinction between operating, sales-type, and direct financing leases retained, but updated to align with certain changes to the lessee model and the new revenue recognition standard.

Early application is permitted for all entities. ASU 2016-02 provides two transition methods. The first transition method allows for application of the new model at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented. Under the second transition method, comparative periods would not be restated, with any cumulative effect adjustments recognized in the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. In addition, a practical expedient was recently issued by the FASB which allows lessors to combine non-lease components with related lease components if certain conditions are met. We will adopt this guidance for our interim and annual periods beginning January 1, 2019 and expect to use the second transition method. ASU 2016-02 will require extensive quantitative and qualitative disclosures.

In addition, under ASU 2016-02, lessors will only capitalize incremental direct leasing costs. We have historically not capitalized internal legal and leasing costs incurred, and thus do not expect to be impacted by the change. Lessors are also expected to record costs paid directly by a lessee on behalf of a lessor (e.g., real estate taxes and insurance costs) on a gross basis. Further, in March 2018, the FASB approved, but has not yet finalized or issued, an update to allow lessors to make a policy election to record certain costs (e.g., insurance) paid directly by the lessee net, if the uncertainty regarding these variable amounts is not expected to ultimately be resolved. 

ASU 2016-02 is expected to impact our condensed consolidated financial statements as we have certain operating office and land lease arrangements for which we are the lessee and also certain lease arrangements that include common area maintenance services (non-lease components) where we are the lessor. We are evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-02 and have not yet determined if it will have a material impact on our business or our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)


In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses. ASU 2016-13 introduces a new model for estimating credit losses based on current expected credit losses for certain types of financial instruments, including loans receivable, held-to-maturity debt securities, and net investments in direct financing leases, amongst other financial instruments. ASU 2016-13 also modifies the impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities and expands the disclosure requirements regarding an entity’s assumptions, models, and methods for estimating the allowance for losses. ASU 2016-13 will be effective for public business entities in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early application of the guidance permitted. We are in the process of evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2016-13 on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities. ASU 2017-12 will make more financial and nonfinancial hedging strategies eligible for hedge accounting. It also amends the presentation and disclosure requirements and changes how companies assess hedge effectiveness. It is intended to more closely align hedge accounting with companies’ risk management strategies, simplify the application of hedge accounting, and increase transparency as to the scope and results of hedging programs. ASU 2017-12 will be effective in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. We are in the process of evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2017-12 on our condensed consolidated financial statements, and will adopt the standard for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2019.

Note 3. Agreements and Transactions with Related Parties

Transactions with Our Advisor

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

Loans from WPC

In July 2016, our board of directors and the board of directors of WPC approved unsecured loans from WPC to us, at the sole discretion of WPC’s management, of up to $50.0 million in the aggregate, at a rate equal to the rate at which WPC can borrow funds under its senior credit facility, for acquisition funding purposes.

As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, we had no loans outstanding to WPC.

Asset Management Fees

Pursuant to the advisory agreement, our Advisor is entitled to an annual asset management fee ranging from 0.5% to 1.5%, depending on the type of investment and based on the average market value or average equity value, as applicable, of our investments. Asset management fees are payable in cash and/or shares of our Class A common stock at our option, after consultation with our Advisor. If our Advisor receives all or a portion of its fees in shares, the number of shares issued is determined by dividing the dollar amount of fees by our most recently published estimated net asset value per share, or NAV, per Class A share, which was $8.57 as of June 30, 2018. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and the year ended December 31, 2017, our Advisor received its asset management fees in shares of our Class A common stock. At September 30, 2018, our Advisor owned 4,690,225 shares, or 3.2%, of our outstanding Class A common stock. Asset management fees are included in Property expenses in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Annual Distribution and Shareholder Servicing Fee

Through June 30, 2017, Carey Financial, the wholly-owned subsidiary of our Advisor that was a registered broker-dealer, was entitled to receive an annual distribution and shareholder servicing fee from us in connection with our Class C common stock, which it may have re-allowed to selected dealers. Beginning with the payment for the third quarter of 2017 (paid during the first month of the fourth quarter of 2017) the annual distribution and shareholder servicing fees are paid directly to selected dealers rather than through Carey Financial. The amount of the annual distribution and shareholder servicing fee is 1.0% of the most recently published NAV of our Class C common stock. The annual distribution and shareholder servicing fee accrues daily and is payable quarterly in arrears. We will no longer incur the annual distribution and shareholder servicing fee beginning on the date at which, in the aggregate, underwriting compensation from all sources reaches 10.0% of the gross proceeds from our initial public offering, which it had not yet reached as of September 30, 2018. At September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, we recorded a liability of $4.3 million and $5.7 million, respectively, within Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Acquisition and Disposition Fees

Our Advisor receives acquisition fees, a portion of which is payable upon acquisition, while the remaining portion is subordinated to a preferred return of a non-compounded cumulative distribution of 5.0% per annum (based initially on our invested capital). The initial acquisition fee and subordinated acquisition fee are 2.5% and 2.0%, respectively, of the aggregate total cost of our portion of each investment for all investments, other than those in readily marketable real estate securities purchased in the secondary market, for which our Advisor will not receive any acquisition fees. Deferred acquisition fees are scheduled to be paid in three equal annual installments following the quarter in which a property was purchased and are subject to the preferred return described above. The preferred return was achieved as of the periods ended September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017. Unpaid installments of deferred acquisition fees are included in Due to affiliates in the condensed consolidated financial statements and bear interest at an annual rate of 2.0%. The cumulative total acquisition costs, including acquisition fees paid to the advisor, may not exceed 6.0% of the aggregate contract purchase price of all investments, which is measured at the end of each year.

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

Personnel and Overhead Reimbursements

Under the terms of the advisory agreement, our Advisor allocates a portion of its personnel and overhead expenses to us and the other entities that are managed by WPC and its affiliates, which as of September 30, 3018 included Corporate Property Associates 17 – Global, Carey Watermark Investors Incorporated, Carey Watermark Investors 2 Incorporated, and Carey European Housing Fund I L.P., which are collectively referred to as the Managed Programs. Our Advisor also allocated a portion of its personnel and overhead expenses to Carey Credit Income Fund (now known as Guggenheim Credit Income Fund) prior to September 11, 2017, which was the effective date of its resignation as the advisor to that fund. Our Advisor allocates these expenses to us on the basis of our trailing four quarters of reported revenues in comparison to those of WPC and other entities managed by WPC and its affiliates.

We reimburse our Advisor for various expenses it incurs in the course of providing services to us. We reimburse certain third-party expenses paid by our Advisor on our behalf, including property-specific costs, professional fees, office expenses, and business development expenses. In addition, we reimburse our Advisor for the allocated costs of personnel and overhead in managing our day-to-day operations, including accounting services, stockholder services, corporate management, and property management and operations. We do not reimburse our Advisor for the cost of personnel if these personnel provide services for transactions for which our Advisor receives a transaction fee, such as for acquisitions and dispositions. Under the advisory agreement, the amount of applicable personnel costs allocated to us is capped at 1.0% and 2.0% for 2018 and 2017, respectively, of pro rata lease revenues for each year. Costs related to our Advisor’s legal transactions group are based on a schedule of expenses relating to services performed for different types of transactions, such as financing, lease amendments, and dispositions, among other categories, and includes 0.25% of the total investment cost of an acquisition. In general, personnel and overhead reimbursements are included in General and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated financial statements. However, we capitalize certain of the costs related to our Advisor’s legal transactions group if the costs relate to a transaction that is not considered to be a business combination.

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

Available Cash Distributions

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

Jointly Owned Investments and Other Transactions with our Affiliates

At September 30, 2018, we owned interests ranging from 50% to 99% in jointly owned investments, with the remaining interests held by affiliates or by third parties. We consolidate all of these joint ventures with the exception of our sole equity investment (Note 4), which we account for under the equity method of accounting. Additionally, no other parties hold any rights that overcome our control. We account for the minority share of these investments as noncontrolling interests.

We entered into the following build-to-suit investments during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 (amounts based on the exchange rate of the euro on the date of acquisition as applicable):

$10.5 million to enter into a build-to-suit joint venture with a third party for a student-housing development site located in Barcelona, Spain on March 8, 2018. We acquired 99% of the equity in this investment at closing. This property is under construction and is currently projected to be completed in September 2019, at which point our total investment is expected to be approximately $28.5 million. Since we are responsible for substantially all of the economics but we proportionally have less voting rights, this investment is considered to be a VIE that we consolidate (Note 2);
$9.3 million to enter into a build-to-suit joint venture with a third party for a student-housing development site located in Coimbra, Portugal on June 11, 2018. We acquired 99% of the equity in this investment at closing. This property is under construction and is currently projected to be completed in March 2020, at which point our total investment is expected to be approximately $26.3 million. Since we are responsible for substantially all of the economics but we proportionally have less voting rights, this investment is considered to be a VIE that we consolidate (Note 2);
$13.1 million to enter into a build-to-suit project for a student-housing development site located in San Sebastian, Spain on June 14, 2018. This property is under construction and is currently projected to be completed in September 2020, at which point our total investment is expected to be approximately $36.7 million. As there is insufficient equity at risk, the investment is considered to be a VIE (Note 2);
$13.1 million to enter into a build-to-suit project for a student-housing development site located in Barcelona, Spain on June 25, 2018. This property is under construction and is currently projected to be completed in September 2020, at which point our total investment is expected to be approximately $31.7 million. As there is insufficient equity at risk, the investment is considered to be a VIE (Note 2);
$7.1 million to enter into a build-to-suit project for a student-housing development site located in Valencia, Spain on July 30, 2018. We acquired 99% of the equity in this investment at closing. This property is under construction and is currently projected to be completed in September 2020, at which point our total investment is expected to be approximately $27.0 million. As there is insufficient equity at risk, the investment is considered to be a VIE (Note 2);
$13.7 million to enter into a build-to-suit project for a student-housing development site located in Austin, Texas on September 20, 2018. We acquired 90% of the equity in this investment at closing. The seller retained the remaining interest on this investment, which was accounted for as a $2.3 million non-cash financing activity. This property is under construction and is currently projected to be completed in August 2020, at which point our total investment is expected to be approximately $70.2 million. In addition, we assumed a 90% interest in an existing $4.5 million loan on this property (Note 9). As there is insufficient equity at risk, the investment is considered to be a VIE (Note 2); and
$4.3 million to enter into a build-to-suit project for a student-housing development site located in Granada, Spain on September 21, 2018. We acquired 99% of the equity in this investment at closing. This property is under construction and is currently projected to be completed in September 2020, at which point our total investment is expected to be approximately $23.4 million. As there is insufficient equity at risk, the investment is considered to be a VIE (Note 2).

Ghana — On February 19, 2016, we entered into a build-to-suit joint venture with a third party for a university complex development site located in Accra, Ghana. As of September 30, 2018, total capitalized funds related to this investment were $32.5 million, inclusive of accrued construction costs of $0.9 million and the effect of recording deferred tax liabilities of $3.7 million.

At the time of the investment, the joint venture entered into an agreement for third-party financing in an amount up to $41.0 million from the Overseas Private Investment Corporation, or OPIC, a developmental finance institution of the U.S. Government, with an estimated interest rate based on the U.S. Treasury rate plus 300 basis points. The transaction, including the funding of this loan, was subject to the tenant obtaining a letter of credit, which did not occur, and as a result the tenant was in default under its concession agreement with us. Because of the tenant’s default, we terminated the concession agreement in May 2018, and therefore we will not pursue the completion of this project. We are actively pursuing appropriate remedies, including payment from the tenant or through our insurance policy. We believe there is a high probability that we will recover the full amount invested. We had no amounts outstanding under this financing arrangement at September 30, 2018

We have evaluated this investment for impairment and probability-weighted different scenarios in estimating future undiscounted cash flows, including payment from the tenant or through our insurance policy. We have not recorded any impairment charge in connection with this investment as of September 30, 2018, although recovery may take additional time. We will continue to monitor this investment for impairment.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, total capitalized funds primarily related to our build-to-suit projects, which were comprised principally of initial funding of $72.7 million and construction draws of $60.6 million. Capitalized funds include accrued costs of $2.4 million, which is a non-cash investing activity.

Capitalized Interest

Capitalized interest includes interest incurred during construction as well as amortization of the mortgage discount and deferred financing costs, which totaled $4.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and is a non-cash investing activity.

Placed into Service

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, a total of $123.8 million was placed into service, principally related to the substantial completion of two student-housing developments located in the United Kingdom and the remaining portion of a substantially completed hotel, which is a non-cash investing activity. Of that total, $26.2 million was reclassified to Real estate — land, buildings and improvements and $97.6 million was reclassified to Operating real estate — land, buildings and improvements.

Ending Balance

At September 30, 2018, we had nine open and three substantially completed build-to-suit projects with aggregate unfunded commitments of approximately $263.0 million, excluding capitalized interest, accrued costs, and capitalized acquisition fees for our Advisor.

At September 30, 2018, we had one multi-family property classified as Assets held for sale with a carrying value of $38.4 million, which was encumbered at that date by a non-recourse mortgage loan of $29.8 million. This property was sold in November 2018 (Note 14).

Equity Investment in Real Estate

We have an interest in an unconsolidated investment in our Self Storage segment that relates to a joint venture for the development of four self-storage facilities in Canada. This investment is jointly owned with a third party, which is also the general partner. Our ownership interest in the joint venture is 90%. As of September 30, 2018, the joint-venture partner had not accumulated the amounts to purchase its entire 10% equity interest, which will be funded by the distributions it is eligible to receive upon properties being placed into service. We do not consolidate this entity because we are not the primary beneficiary and the nature of our involvement in the activities of the entity allows us to exercise significant influence but does not give us power over decisions that significantly affect the economic performance of the entity.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the joint venture completed distinct phases of the overall development at two Canadian self-storage facilities and, as a result, placed a total of $7.1 million of the total amounts of these projects into service.

At September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, our total equity investment balance for these self-storage properties were $19.8 million and $20.9 million, respectively, which is included in Accounts receivable and other assets, net in the condensed consolidated financial statements. At September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the joint venture had total third-party recourse debt of $28.0 million and $21.5 million, respectively. At September 30, 2018, the unfunded commitments for the two remaining open and one substantially complete self-storage build-to-suit projects totaled approximately $18.2 million.

We classify distributions received from equity method investments using the cumulative earnings approach. Distributions received are considered returns on the investment and classified as cash inflows from operating activities. If, however, the investor’s cumulative distributions received, less distributions received in prior periods determined to be returns of investment, exceeds cumulative equity in earnings recognized, the excess is considered a return of investment and is classified as cash inflows from investing activities.

Note 5. Finance Receivables

Assets representing rights to receive money on demand or at fixed or determinable dates are referred to as finance receivables. Our finance receivables portfolio consists of our notes receivable (which are included in Accounts receivable and other assets, net in the condensed consolidated financial statements) and our Net investments in direct financing leases. Operating leases are not included in finance receivables as such amounts are not recognized as an asset in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Notes Receivable

At December 31, 2017, our notes receivable consisted of two mortgage loans. The first is a $28.0 million mezzanine tranche of 10-year commercial mortgage-backed securities on the Cipriani banquet halls in New York, New York, referred to as Cipriani, with a maturity date of July 2024. We have received and will continue to receive interest-only payments on this loan through its maturity date. The second is a $38.5 million mezzanine loan collateralized by 27 retail stores in Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Iowa leased to Mills Fleet Farm Group LLC, referred to as Mills Fleet. On October 9, 2018, the borrower of the Mills Fleet loan exercised its option to extend the maturity date of the loan from October 2018 to October 2019. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we received partial repayments for the Mills Fleet mezzanine loan totaling $2.5 million. As a result, the balances for the receivables at September 30, 2018 were $28.0 million and $36.0 million for Cipriani and Mills Fleet, respectively.

Credit Quality of Finance Receivables

We generally invest in facilities that we believe are critical to a tenant’s business and therefore have a lower risk of tenant default. At both September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, we had no significant finance receivable balances that were past due and we had not established any allowances for credit losses. Additionally, there were no modifications of finance receivables during the nine months ended September 30, 2018. We evaluate the credit quality of our finance receivables utilizing an internal five-point credit rating scale, with one representing the highest credit quality and five representing the lowest. The credit quality evaluation of our finance receivables is updated quarterly.

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

Net amortization of intangibles, including the effect of foreign currency translation, was $4.4 million and $6.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and $14.3 million and $22.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Amortization of below-market rent and above-market rent intangibles is recorded as an adjustment to Rental income, amortization of below-market and above-market ground lease intangibles is included in Property expenses, and amortization of in-place lease intangibles is included in Depreciation and amortization expense in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Note 7. Fair Value Measurements
 
The fair value of an asset is defined as the exit price, which is the amount that would either be received when an asset is sold or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The guidance establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers are: Level 1, for which quoted market prices for identical instruments are available in active markets, such as money market funds, equity securities, and U.S. Treasury securities; Level 2, for which there are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the instrument, such as certain derivative instruments including interest rate caps, interest rate swaps, foreign currency forward contracts and foreign currency collars; and Level 3, for securities that do not fall into Level 1 or Level 2 and for which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring us to develop our own assumptions.

Items Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

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

Derivative Assets — Our derivative assets, which are included in Accounts receivable and other assets, net in the condensed consolidated financial statements, are comprised of foreign currency forward contracts, interest rate swaps, and interest rate caps (Note 8). These derivative instruments were measured at fair value using readily observable market inputs, such as quotations on interest rates, and were classified as Level 2 as these instruments are custom, over-the-counter contracts with various bank counterparties that are not traded in an active market.

Derivative Liabilities — Our derivative liabilities, which are included in Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities in the condensed consolidated financial statements, are comprised of interest rate swaps and foreign currency collars (Note 8). These derivative instruments were measured at fair value using readily observable market inputs, such as quotations on interest rates, and were classified as Level 2 because they are custom, over-the-counter contracts with various bank counterparties that are not traded in an active market.

We did not have any transfers into or out of Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 measurements during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017. Gains and losses (realized and unrealized) recognized on items measured at fair value on a recurring basis included in earnings are reported within Other gains and (losses) on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

(a)
Debt, net consists of Non-recourse mortgages, net and Bonds payable, net. At September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the carrying value of Non-recourse mortgages, net includes unamortized deferred financing costs of $6.4 million and $7.0 million, respectively. At September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the carrying value of Bonds payable, net includes unamortized deferred financing costs of $0.7 million and $0.8 million, respectively (Note 9).
(b)
We determined the estimated fair value of our Non-recourse mortgages, net and Bonds payable, net using a discounted cash flow model that estimates the present value of the future loan payments by discounting such payments at current estimated market interest rates. The estimated market interest rates take into account interest rate risk and the value of the underlying collateral, which includes quality of the collateral, the credit quality of the tenant/obligor, and the time until maturity.
(c)
We determined the estimated fair value of our Notes receivable using a discounted cash flow model with rates that take into account the credit of the tenant/obligor, order of payment tranches, and interest rate risk. We also considered the value of the underlying collateral, taking into account the quality of the collateral, the credit quality of the tenant/obligor, the time until maturity, and the current market interest rate.

We estimated that our other financial assets and liabilities (excluding net investments in direct financing leases) had fair values that approximated their carrying values at both September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

Note 8. Risk Management and Use of Derivative Financial Instruments
 
Risk Management
 
In the normal course of our ongoing business operations, we encounter economic risk. There are four main components of economic risk that impact us: interest rate risk, credit risk, market risk, and foreign currency risk. We are primarily subject to interest rate risk on our interest-bearing liabilities. Credit risk is the risk of default on our operations and our tenants’ inability or unwillingness to make contractually required payments. Market risk includes changes in the value of our properties and related loans, as well as changes in the value of our other investments due to changes in interest rates or other market factors. We own international investments, primarily in Europe, and are subject to risks associated with fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates.

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

All derivative transactions with an individual counterparty are governed by a master International Swap and Derivatives Association agreement, which can be considered as a master netting arrangement; however, we report all our derivative instruments on a gross basis on our condensed consolidated financial statements. At both September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, no cash collateral had been posted or received for any of our derivative positions.

Interest Rate Swaps and Caps

We are exposed to the impact of interest rate changes primarily through our borrowing activities. To limit this exposure, we attempt to obtain mortgage financing on a long-term, fixed-rate basis. However, from time to time, we or our joint investment partners have obtained, and may in the future obtain, variable-rate non-recourse mortgage loans and, as a result, we have entered into, and may continue to enter into interest rate swap agreements or interest rate cap agreements with counterparties. Interest rate swaps, which effectively convert the variable-rate debt service obligations of a loan to a fixed rate, are agreements in which one party exchanges a stream of interest payments for a counterparty’s stream of cash flow over a specific period. The notional, or face, amount on which the swaps are based is not exchanged. Interest rate caps limit the effective borrowing rate of variable-rate debt obligations while allowing participants to share in downward shifts in interest rates. Our objective in using these derivatives is to limit our exposure to interest rate movements.
 
The interest rate swaps and caps that our consolidated subsidiaries had outstanding at September 30, 2018 are summarized as follows (currency in thousands):

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



CPA:18 – Global 9/30/2018 10-Q 24


Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)


In order to hedge certain of our foreign currency cash flow exposures, we enter into foreign currency forward contracts and collars. A foreign currency forward contract is a commitment to deliver a certain amount of currency at a certain price on a specific date in the future. By entering into forward contracts and holding them to maturity, we are locked into a future currency exchange rate for the term of the contract. A foreign currency collar guarantees that the exchange rate of the currency will not fluctuate beyond the range of the options’ strike prices. Our foreign currency forward contracts and foreign currency collars have maturities of 74 months or less.

Credit Risk-Related Contingent Features

We measure our credit exposure on a counterparty basis as the net positive aggregate estimated fair value of our derivatives, net of any collateral received. No collateral was received as of September 30, 2018. At September 30, 2018, our total credit exposure was $3.4 million and the maximum exposure to any single counterparty was $1.9 million.

Some of the agreements we have with our derivative counterparties contain cross-default provisions that could trigger a declaration of default on our derivative obligations if we default, or are capable of being declared in default, on certain of our indebtedness. At September 30, 2018, we had not been declared in default on any of our derivative obligations. The estimated fair value of our derivatives in a net liability position was $1.6 million and $4.4 million at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively, which included accrued interest and any nonperformance risk adjustments. If we had breached any of these provisions at September 30, 2018 or December 31, 2017, we could have been required to settle our obligations under these agreements at their aggregate termination value of $1.6 million and $4.5 million, respectively.

Note 9. Debt, net

Debt, net consists of Non-recourse mortgages, net, including debt attributable to Assets held for sale and Bonds payable, net, which are collateralized by the assignment of real estate properties. At September 30, 2018, our debt bore interest at fixed annual rates ranging from 1.6% to 5.8% and variable contractual annual rates ranging from 1.6% to 8.2%, with maturity dates ranging from 2018 to 2039.

Financing Activity During 2018

On September 20, 2018, in conjunction with our investment in a student-housing development site located in Austin, Texas, we assumed a 90% interest in an existing $4.5 million loan that bears an annual variable interest rate, which was 5.5% as of the date we assumed the loan and is scheduled to mature in December 2019.

On May 9, 2018, we obtained a $34.0 million term loan encumbering seven self-storage properties located in Southern California. The properties were encumbered by a first mortgage loan in the amount of $16.4 million, which was paid in full on the same date using a portion of the proceeds from the term loan. The term loan bears an annual fixed interest rate of 4.5%, with a term to maturity of three years. We have two options to extend the maturity date, each by an additional year. The principal balance is due at maturity and interest is payable monthly.

On February 13, 2018, we obtained a construction loan of $48.8 million for a student-housing development project located in Portsmouth, United Kingdom (based on the exchange rate of the British pound sterling at the date of acquisition). The loan bears a variable interest rate, which was 6.0% on the date of the loan, for outstanding drawn balances that is scheduled to mature in November 2019. We had drawn $38.9 million on the construction loan (based on the exchange rate of the British pound sterling at the date of each drawdown) as of September 30, 2018.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we had additional drawdowns of $18.4 million (based on the exchange rate of the British pound sterling at the date of each drawdown) on a construction loan related to a student-housing development project located in Cardiff, United Kingdom. The loan bears an annual interest rate of 7.5% plus the London Interbank Offered Rate for outstanding drawn balances, with a term to maturity of two years. Additionally, we drew down $52.4 million (based on the exchange rate of the euro at the date of drawdown) on the non-recourse mortgage loan for a completed build-to-suit hotel in Munich, Germany. The loan bears an annual interest rate of 2.8% and matures in June 2023.

Certain amounts in the table above are based on the applicable foreign currency exchange rate at September 30, 2018.

The carrying value of our Non-recourse mortgages, net, including debt attributable to Assets held for sale and Bonds payable, net decreased by $17.2 million in the aggregate from December 31, 2017 to September 30, 2018, reflecting the impact of the strengthening of the U.S. dollar relative to certain foreign currencies (primarily the euro) during the same period.

Debt Covenants

As of December 31, 2017, we had repaid a total of $1.8 million (amount is based on the exchange rate of the euro as of the date of repayments) of principal on our Agrokor mortgage loan as a result of a debt service coverage ratio covenant breach. The covenant breach will be cured once the net operating income for the related property exceeds the amount set forth in the related loan agreement. As of September 30, 2018, less than $0.1 million of additional payments have been made on the loan principal. As Agrokor is currently in financial distress, there is uncertainty regarding future rent collections (Note 13) and whether the default can be cured.

As of December 31, 2017, we were in breach of a loan-to-value covenant on one of our bonds payable. On June 14, 2018, we entered into a pledge agreement with the bondholders to cure the covenant breach, pursuant to which we deposited $5.6 million (based on the exchange rate for the Norwegian krone on the date of deposit) in a bank account and granted a first priority interest in, and pledged the account to, the bondholders. The pledge of the account to the bondholders will stay in effect until the loan-to-value ratio is within the threshold set forth in the bond agreement or until the bonds are paid in full. There were no changes to the amounts or timing of scheduled interest and principal payments. The balance in the pledged account, based on the exchange rate as of September 30, 2018, was $5.5 million and is included as restricted cash within Accounts receivable and other assets, net on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, the allocation of net income for our Class A common stock excluded $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, of interest expense related to the accretion of interest on our annual distribution and shareholder servicing fee liability, which is only applicable to our Class C common stock (Note 3). For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the allocation of net income for our Class A common stock excluded $0.1 million and $0.4 million, respectively, of interest expense related to the accretion of interest on our annual distribution and shareholder servicing fee liability (Note 3).

Distributions

Distributions are declared at the discretion of our board of directors and are not guaranteed. For the three months ended September 30, 2018, our board of directors declared quarterly distributions of $0.1563 per share for our Class A common stock and $0.1374 per share for our Class C common stock, which was paid on October 15, 2018 to stockholders of record on September 28, 2018, in the amount of $22.1 million.

Note 12. Property Dispositions
 
We have an active capital recycling program, with a goal of extending the average lease term through reinvestment, improving portfolio credit quality through dispositions and acquisitions of assets, increasing the asset criticality factor in our portfolio, and/or executing strategic dispositions of net-leased and operating assets. We may decide to dispose of a property due to vacancy, tenants electing not to renew their leases, tenant insolvency, or lease rejection in the bankruptcy process. In such cases, we assess whether we can obtain the highest value from the property by selling it, as opposed to re-leasing it. We may also sell a property when we receive an unsolicited offer or negotiate a price for an investment that is consistent with our strategy for that investment. When it is appropriate to do so, we classify the property as an asset held for sale on our consolidated balance sheet.

During both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, we sold four multi-family properties for total proceeds of $81.8 million, net of selling costs. For three of these properties, we sold our 97% interest to one of our joint venture partners, to which we made a non-cash distribution of $3.3 million. In addition, the joint venture partner assumed the related mortgage loans outstanding on the respective properties totaling $63.6 million as of the disposition date. The remaining property was sold to an unaffiliated third party and the related outstanding mortgage loan of $25.3 million was repaid prior to the disposition. We recognized an aggregate gain on sale of $52.2 million, which includes an $8.1 million gain attributable to noncontrolling interests. In addition, at September 30, 2018, we had one multi-family property classified as Assets held for sale, net with a carrying value of $38.4 million and a non-recourse mortgage loan of $29.8 million. This property was sold in November 2018 (Note 14).

(a)
We recognized straight-line rent adjustments of $1.1 million and $1.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and $3.6 million and $3.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, which increased Lease revenues within our condensed consolidated financial statements for each period.
(b)
In April 2017, the Croatian government passed a special law assisting the restructuring of companies considered of systemic significance in Croatia. This law directly impacts our Agrokor tenant, which is currently experiencing financial distress and received a credit downgrade from both Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s. As a result of these financial difficulties and uncertainty regarding future rent collections from the tenant, we recorded bad debt expense of $1.1 million and $3.2 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, and $2.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017. In July 2018, the creditors of Agrokor reached a settlement plan to attempt to restructure the company, but as of the date of this Report, we are unable to assess the potential impact of that plan on this investment.
(c)
As a result of the financial difficulties and uncertainty regarding future rent collections from a tenant in Stavanger, Norway, we recorded bad debt expense of $0.1 million and $1.2 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively.
(d)
Includes Equity in losses of equity method investment in real estate.
(e)
Included in unallocated corporate overhead are asset management fees and general and administrative expenses. These expenses are calculated and reported at the portfolio level and not evaluated as part of any segment’s operating performance.

Note 14. Subsequent Events

On November 7, 2018, we sold our 97% interest in a multi-family property located in San Antonio, Texas, to a third party for $44.3 million, which was classified as held for sale at September 30, 2018. The $29.8 million non-recourse mortgage loan that encumbered this property was assumed by the buyer on the date of sale.

On October 26, 2018, we sold one of our net-leased properties located in Utrecht, the Netherlands, for $59.1 million (amount is based on the euro as of date of sale.)

It is not practicable to disclose the preliminary gain on sale for these transactions given the short period of time between the sale dates and the filing of this Report.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
 
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is intended to provide the reader with information that will assist in understanding our financial statements and the reasons for changes in certain key components of our financial statements from period to period. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations also provides the reader with our perspective on our financial position and liquidity, as well as certain other factors that may affect our future results. Our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with the 2017 Annual Report and subsequent reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Business Overview

As described in more detail in Item 1 of the 2017 Annual Report, we are a publicly owned, non-traded REIT that invests in a diversified portfolio of income-producing commercial properties leased to companies and other real estate-related assets, both domestically and outside the United States. In addition, our portfolio includes self-storage, student housing, and multi-family investments. As a REIT, we are not subject to U.S. federal income taxation as long as we satisfy certain requirements, principally relating to the nature of our income, the level of our distributions, and other factors. We earn revenue principally by leasing the properties we own to single corporate tenants, primarily on a triple-net lease basis, which requires the tenant to pay substantially all of the costs associated with operating and maintaining the property. Revenue is subject to fluctuation because of the timing of new transactions, lease terminations, lease expirations, contractual rent adjustments, tenant defaults, sales of properties, and foreign currency exchange rates. We commenced operations in May 2013 and are managed by our Advisor. We hold substantially all of our assets and conduct substantially all of our business through our Operating Partnership. We are the general partner of, and own 99.97% of the interests in, the Operating Partnership. The remaining interest in the Operating Partnership is held by a subsidiary of WPC.

Significant Developments

Net Asset Values

Our Advisor calculates our NAVs as of each quarter-end by relying in part on rolling update appraisals covering approximately 25% of our real estate portfolio each quarter, adjusted to give effect to the estimated fair value of our debt, all provided by an independent third party, as well as other adjustments. Since the quarterly NAV estimates are not based on a full appraisal of the entire portfolio, to the extent any estimated NAV per share adjustments are within 1% of the previously disclosed NAV per share, the quarterly NAV per share will remain unchanged. We monitor properties not appraised during the quarter to identify ones that may have experienced a significant event and obtain updated third-party appraisals for such properties. Our NAVs are based on a number of variables, including individual tenant credits, lease terms, lending credit spreads, foreign currency exchange rates, share counts, tenant defaults, and development projects that are not yet generating income, among others. We do not control all of these variables and, as such, cannot predict how they will change in the future. The majority of our costs associated with development projects (which are not yet generating income) are included in Real estate under construction in our condensed consolidated financial statements and totaled approximately $143.6 million as of September 30, 2018. Our NAVs as of June 30, 2018 were $8.57 for both our Class A and Class C common stock. Please see our Current Report on Form 8-K dated August 30, 2018 for additional information regarding the calculation of our NAVs. Our Advisor currently intends to determine our quarterly NAVs as of September 30, 2018 during the fourth quarter of 2018.

The accrued distribution and shareholder servicing fee payable has been valued using a hypothetical liquidation value and, as a result, the NAVs do not reflect any obligation to pay future distribution and shareholder servicing fees. At September 30, 2018, the liability balance for the distribution and shareholder servicing fee was $4.3 million.



CPA:18 – Global 9/30/2018 10-Q 33


Financial Highlights

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we completed the following, as further described in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Acquisition and Financing Activity

We entered into seven new student-housing build-to-suit transactions for an aggregate amount of $243.8 million (amount based on the exchange rate of the euro on the respective acquisition dates), inclusive of unfunded future commitments and acquisition related costs and fees (Note 4).

On September 20, 2018, in conjunction with our investment in a student-housing development site located in Austin, Texas, we assumed a 90% interest in an existing $4.5 million loan that bears an annual variable interest rate, which was 5.5% as of the date we assumed the loan and matures in December 2019. We also obtained a $34.0 million non-recourse term loan encumbering seven self-storage properties located in Southern California and used a portion of the proceeds to repay the existing non-recourse mortgage loan encumbering those properties of $16.4 million (Note 9).

We obtained a construction loan of $48.8 million, and drew down $38.9 million, for a student-housing development project located in Portsmouth, United Kingdom (based on the exchange rate of the British pound sterling at the date of acquisition and drawdowns, respectively). In addition, we drew down $70.8 million (based on the exchange rate of the euro and British pound sterling at the date of the respective drawdowns) from third-party non-recourse financings related to two of our build-to-suit investments.

Disposition Activity

During both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, we sold four multi-family properties for total proceeds of $81.8 million, net of selling costs. For three of these properties, we sold our 97% interest to one of our joint venture partners, to which we made a non-cash distribution of $3.3 million. In addition, the joint venture partner assumed the related mortgage loans outstanding on the respective properties totaling $63.6 million as of the disposition date. The remaining property was sold to a third party and the related outstanding mortgage loan of $25.3 million was repaid prior to the disposition. We recognized an aggregate gain on sale of $52.2 million, which includes an $8.1 million gain attributable to noncontrolling interests. In addition, at September 30, 2018, we had one multi-family property classified as Assets held for sale, net with a carrying value of $38.4 million and a non-recourse mortgage loan of $29.8 million. This property was sold in November 2018 (Note 14).

On January 1, 2018, we adopted ASU 2016-15 and ASU 2016-18, which revised how certain items are presented in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. As a result of adopting this guidance, we retrospectively revised Net cash provided by operating activities, Net cash used in investing activities, and Net cash provided by financing activities within our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, as described in Note 2.
(b)
We consider the performance metrics listed above, including Funds from operations, or FFO, MFFO, and Adjusted modified funds from operations, or Adjusted MFFO, which are supplemental measures that are not defined by GAAP, referred to herein as non-GAAP measures, to be important measures in the evaluation of our operating performance. See Supplemental Financial Measures below for our definitions of these non-GAAP measures and reconciliations to their most directly comparable GAAP measures.

Revenues and Net Income Attributable to CPA:18 – Global

Total revenues increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 as compared to the same periods in 2017, primarily as a result of the accretive impact of our investments acquired or placed into service during 2017 and 2018.

Net income attributable to CPA:18 – Global increased for the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the same period in 2017, primarily due to a gain on sale of real estate, net of tax recognized during the current period (Note 12), the accretive impact of our investments acquired or placed into service, and a decrease in depreciation and amortization expense as certain self-storage in-place lease intangible assets fully amortized subsequent to September 30, 2017, all of which was partially offset by a decrease in foreign currency gains relating to our short-term intercompany loans at our international investments and an increase in interest expense.

Net income attributable to CPA:18 – Global increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the same period in 2017, primarily due to the gain on sale of real estate, net of tax recognized during the current period, the accretive impact of our investments acquired or placed into service, and the decrease in depreciation and amortization expense as certain self-storage in-place lease intangible assets fully amortized subsequent to September 30, 2017. Additional improvements to Net income attributable to CPA:18 – Global resulted from a gain recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 related to insurance proceeds received for the rebuild of a property that was damaged by a tornado in 2017. These improvements were partially offset by a decrease in foreign currency gains relating to our short-term intercompany loans at our international investments and an increase in interest expense.



CPA:18 – Global 9/30/2018 10-Q 35


FFO, MFFO, and Adjusted MFFO Attributable to CPA:18 – Global

FFO decreased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 as compared to the same periods in 2017, primarily as a result of foreign currency losses relating to our short-term intercompany loans at our international investments and an increase in interest expense, partially offset by the accretive impact of our investments acquired or placed into service in 2017 and 2018. In addition, the nine months ended September 30, 2018 included a gain recognized on the insurance proceeds received for the rebuild of a property that was damaged by a tornado in 2017.

MFFO decreased for the three months ended September 30, 2018 as compared to the same period in 2017, primarily due to an increase in bad debt expense on our Agrokor investment, a decrease in deferred tax benefits, and an increase in interest expense, partially offset by the accretive impact of our investments acquired or placed into service during 2017 and 2018.

MFFO, as well as Adjusted MFFO for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, increased as compared to the same period in 2017, primarily as a result of the accretive impact of our investments acquired or placed into service during 2017 and 2018, partially offset by an increase in interest expense.

Terms and Definitions

Pro Rata Metrics — The portfolio information above contains certain metrics prepared under the pro rata consolidation method. We refer to these metrics as pro rata metrics. We have a number of investments, usually with our affiliates, in which our economic ownership is less than 100%. Under the full consolidation method, we report 100% of the assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses of those investments that are deemed to be under our control or for which we are deemed to be the primary beneficiary, even if our ownership is less than 100%. Also, for all other jointly owned investments, which we do not control, we report our net investment and our net income or loss from that investment. Under the pro rata consolidation method, we generally present our proportionate share, based on our economic ownership of these jointly owned investments, of the portfolio metrics of those investments. Multiplying each of our jointly owned investments’ financial statement line items by our percentage ownership and adding or subtracting those amounts from our totals, as applicable, may not accurately depict the legal and economic implications of holding an ownership interest of less than 100% in our jointly owned investments.

ABR ABR represents contractual minimum annualized base rent for our net-leased properties, net of receivable reserves as determined by GAAP, and reflects exchange rates as of September 30, 2018. If there is a rent abatement, we annualize the first monthly contractual base rent following the free rent period. ABR is not applicable to operating properties.



CPA:18 – Global 9/30/2018 10-Q 44




Results of Operations

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

Lease Composition and Leasing Activities

As of September 30, 2018, approximately 51.9% of our leases (based on ABR) provided for adjustments based on formulas indexed to changes in the U.S. CPI (or similar indices for the jurisdiction in which the property is located), some of which are subject to caps and/or floors. In addition, 43.2% of our leases (based on ABR) have fixed rent adjustments, for a scheduled average ABR increase of 1.1% over the next 12 months. Lease revenues from our international investments are subject to exchange rate fluctuations, primarily from the euro.

CPA:18 – Global 9/30/2018 10-Q 47




Property level contribution is a non-GAAP measure that we believe to be a useful supplemental measure for management and investors in evaluating and analyzing the financial results of our net-leased and operating properties over time. Property level contribution presents the lease and operating property revenues, less property expenses and depreciation and amortization. We believe that Property level contribution allows for meaningful comparison between periods of the direct costs of owning and operating our net-leased assets and operating properties. When a property is leased on a net lease basis, reimbursable tenant costs are recorded as both income and property expense and, therefore, have no impact on the Property level contribution. While we believe that Property level contribution is a useful supplemental measure, it should not be considered as an alternative to Net income attributable to CPA:18 – Global as an indication of our operating performance.

Existing Net-Leased Properties

Existing net-leased properties are those we acquired or placed into service prior to January 1, 2017. For the periods presented, there were 54 existing net-leased properties.

For the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the same period in 2017, property level contribution from existing net-leased properties decreased by $1.4 million, primarily due to an increase in property expenses of $1.1 million and a decrease in lease revenues of $0.4 million, partially offset by a decrease in depreciation and amortization expense of $0.2 million.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the same period in 2017, property level contribution from existing net-leased properties did not significantly change as the increase in lease revenues of $1.6 million was mostly offset by an increase in property expenses of $1.2 million and depreciation and amortization expense of $0.3 million.

The changes in lease revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the same periods in 2017 were primarily due to the fluctuations of foreign currencies (primarily the euro) in relation to the U.S. dollar between the periods. The increase in property expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the same periods in 2017 were primarily due to the increase in bad debt expense on our Agrokor investment (Note 13).

Recently Acquired Net-Leased Properties

Recently acquired net-leased properties are those that we acquired or placed into service subsequent to December 31, 2016. For the periods presented, there were five recently acquired net-leased properties, including the build-to-suit project located in Accra, Ghana which we terminated (Note 4).

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the same periods in 2017, property level contribution from recently acquired net-leased properties increased by $1.1 million and $5.4 million, respectively, primarily due to three build-to-suit projects that were placed into service during 2017.

Existing Operating Properties

Existing operating properties are those we acquired or placed into service prior to January 1, 2017. For the periods presented, there were 66 existing operating properties.

For the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the same period in 2017, property level contribution from existing operating properties increased by $3.0 million, primarily due to a decrease in depreciation and amortization expense of $2.3 million and an increase in revenues of $0.7 million.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the same period in 2017, property level contribution from existing operating properties increased by $10.0 million, primarily due to a decrease in depreciation and amortization expense of $8.3 million and an increase in revenues of $2.1 million, partially offset by an increase in property expenses of $0.4 million.

The decreases in depreciation and amortization expense in both periods were primarily due to certain in-place lease intangible assets becoming fully amortized subsequent to September 30, 2017. The increases in revenues in both periods were primarily due to increased market rents.



CPA:18 – Global 9/30/2018 10-Q 48




Recently Acquired Operating Properties

Recently acquired operating properties are those that were placed into service subsequent to December 31, 2016. For the periods presented, there were two build-to-suit projects that were placed into service during 2018. For both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, operating expenses for recently acquired operating properties exceeded operating revenues by $0.4 million.

Properties Sold or Held for Sale

In September 2018, we sold four multi-family properties (Note 12). In addition, at September 30, 2018, we had one multi-family property classified as Assets held for sale, which was sold on November 6, 2018 (Note 14).

In October 2017, we sold a student-housing property located in Reading, United Kingdom, which was previously classified as Operating real estate — land, buildings and improvements in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Other Revenues and Expenses

Asset Management Fees

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the same periods in 2017, asset management fees increased by $0.2 million and $0.8 million, respectively, primarily due to the increased fair market value of our assets as well as investment volume subsequent to the third quarter of 2017, which increased the asset base from which our Advisor earns a fee.

General and Administrative

For both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the same periods in 2017, general and administrative expenses remained relatively flat.

Interest Expense

Our interest expense is directly impacted by the mortgage loans or other financing obtained or assumed in connection with our investing activity (Note 9). For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the same periods in 2017, interest expense increased by $1.2 million and $4.2 million, respectively, primarily due to an increase in mortgage financing obtained in connection with our build-to-suit activity during the respective periods. Our average outstanding debt balance increased by $29.1 million and $116.2 million during both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, as compared to the prior year periods. Our weighted-average interest rate was 4.1% and 3.9% during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, and 4.0% during both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017.

Other Gains and (Losses)

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

For the three months ended September 30, 2018, we recognized net other losses of $0.8 million, which were primarily comprised of a $1.3 million loss on extinguishment of debt and foreign currency losses of $0.3 million, largely related to foreign currency losses recorded on our short-term intercompany loans at our international investments, partially offset by $0.3 million of gains on rent guarantees and $0.2 million of gains on derivatives.



CPA:18 – Global 9/30/2018 10-Q 49




For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we recognized net other gains of $5.1 million, which were primarily comprised of a $5.3 million gain recognized as a result of the insurance proceeds received for the rebuild of a property that was damaged by a tornado in 2017, $0.9 million of gains on rent guarantees, and $0.4 million of gains on derivatives. These gains were partially offset by a $1.3 million loss on extinguishment of debt and $0.8 million of realized and unrealized foreign currency losses.

For the three months ended September 30, 2017, we recognized net other gains of $6.0 million, which were primarily comprised of $5.6 million of realized and unrealized foreign currency transaction gains related to our international investments, primarily related to our short-term intercompany loans, and $0.4 million of gains recognized on the change in fair value of rent guarantees.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we recognized net other gains of $18.1 million, which were primarily comprised of $16.2 million of realized and unrealized foreign currency transaction gains related to our international investments, $0.9 million of realized gains recognized on foreign currency forward contracts and collars, and $0.9 million of gains recognized on the change in the fair value of rent guarantees.

Equity in Losses of Equity Method Investment in Real Estate

For both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the same period in 2017, equity in losses of equity method investment in real estate remained relatively flat.

Benefit from Income Taxes

Our provision for income taxes is primarily related to our international properties.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, we recorded a benefit from income taxes of $0.1 million and $0.8 million, respectively, comprised of a provision for current income taxes of $0.4 million and $1.0 million, respectively, and a benefit from deferred income taxes of $0.5 million and $1.8 million, respectively.

During the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, we recorded a benefit from income taxes of $2.8 million and $1.6 million, respectively, comprised of a provision for current income taxes of $0.2 million and $1.2 million, respectively, and a benefit from deferred income taxes of $3.0 million and $2.8 million, respectively.

Gain on Sale of Real Estate, Net of Tax

During both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, we sold four multi-family properties for total proceeds of $151.0 million, net of selling costs, and recorded an aggregate gain on sale of $52.2 million.

Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the same periods in 2017, net income attributable to noncontrolling interests increased by $7.7 million and $8.7 million, respectively, primarily due to the gain on sale of real estate noted above, which included a $8.1 million gain that was attributable to noncontrolling interests in both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 (Note 12).

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We use the cash flow generated from our investments primarily to meet our operating expenses, service debt, and fund distributions to stockholders. We currently expect that, for the short-term, the aforementioned cash requirements will be funded by our cash on hand and financings. We may also use proceeds from financings and asset sales for the acquisition of real estate and real estate-related investments.

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



CPA:18 – Global 9/30/2018 10-Q 50




Sources and Uses of Cash During the Period

We closed our initial public offering on April 2, 2015 and have invested the proceeds of that offering. Our cash flows will fluctuate periodically due to a number of factors, which may include, among other things: the timing of purchases and sales of real estate; the timing of the receipt of proceeds from, and the repayment of, non-recourse mortgage loans and bonds payable, and the receipt of lease revenues; whether our Advisor receives fees in shares of our common stock or cash, which our board of directors must elect after consultation with our Advisor; the timing and characterization of distributions received from equity investments in real estate; the timing of payments of the Available Cash Distributions to our Advisor; and changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Despite these fluctuations, we believe our investments will generate sufficient cash from operations to meet our normal recurring short-term and long-term liquidity needs. We may also use existing cash resources, the proceeds of non-recourse mortgage loans, sales of assets, distributions reinvested in our common stock through our DRIP, and the issuance of additional equity securities to meet these needs. We assess our ability to access capital on an ongoing basis. Our sources and uses of cash during the period are described below.

Operating Activities — Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $10.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 as compared to the same period in 2017, primarily reflecting the impact of investments acquired or placed into service during 2017 and 2018.

Investing Activities — Our investing activities are generally comprised of real estate purchases, funding of build-to-suit development projects, payment of deferred acquisition fees to our Advisor for asset acquisitions, and capitalized property-related costs.

Net cash used in investing activities totaled $48.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. This was primarily the result of cash outflows of $68.3 million to fund construction costs of our build-to-suit projects (Note 4), $58.0 million for our real estate investments (Note 4), and $9.9 million for capital expenditures on our owned real estate, partially offset by cash inflows of $82.5 million for proceeds from sale of real estate and $7.2 million from insurance settlements.

Financing Activities — Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $25.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. This was primarily due to cash inflows of $142.2 million from non-recourse mortgage financings (Note 9) and $31.4 million of distributions that were reinvested by stockholders in shares of our common stock through our DRIP. We had cash outflows of $65.5 million related to distributions paid to our stockholders, $50.6 million for scheduled payments and prepayments of mortgage loan principal, $17.3 million for the repurchase of shares of our common stock pursuant to our redemption program described below, and $15.6 million for distributions to noncontrolling interests.

Distributions

Our objectives are to generate sufficient cash flow over time to provide stockholders with distributions and to continue to seek investments with potential for capital appreciation throughout varying economic cycles. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we declared distributions to stockholders of $65.9 million, which were comprised of $32.9 million of cash distributions and $33.0 million reinvested by stockholders in shares of our common stock pursuant to our DRIP. From inception through September 30, 2018, we declared distributions to stockholders totaling $368.1 million, which were comprised of cash distributions of $175.5 million and $192.6 million reinvested by stockholders in shares of our common stock pursuant to our DRIP.

We believe that FFO, a non-GAAP measure, is the most appropriate metric to evaluate our ability to fund distributions to stockholders. For a discussion of FFO, see Supplemental Financial Measures below. Over the life of our company, the regular quarterly cash distributions we pay are expected to be principally sourced from our FFO or cash flow from operations. However, we have funded a portion of our cash distributions to date using net proceeds from our initial public offering and there can be no assurance that our FFO or cash flow from operations will be sufficient to cover our future distributions. Our distribution coverage using FFO was approximately 88.0% of total distributions declared for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, and we funded all of these distributions from Net cash provided by operating activities.



CPA:18 – Global 9/30/2018 10-Q 51




Redemptions

We maintain a quarterly redemption program pursuant to which we may, at the discretion of our board of directors, redeem shares of our common stock from stockholders seeking liquidity. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we received requests to redeem 1,505,611 and 587,040 shares of Class A and Class C common stock, respectively, comprised of 307 and 125 redemption requests, respectively, which we fulfilled at an average price of $8.30 and $8.21 per share for the Class A and Class C common stock, respectively. As of the date of this Report, we have fulfilled all of the valid redemption requests that we received during the nine months ended September 30, 2018. Except for redemptions sought in certain defined special circumstances, the redemption price of the shares listed above was 95% of our most recently published quarterly NAV. For shares redeemed under special circumstances, the redemption price was the greater of the price paid to acquire the shares from us or 95% of our most recently published quarterly NAV.

Aggregate debt balance includes unamortized deferred financing costs totaling $7.1 million and $8.3 million as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively, and unamortized premium, net of $1.2 million and $1.1 million as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively (Note 9).
(b)
The impact of our derivative instruments is reflected in the weighted-average interest rates.

Cash Resources
 
At September 30, 2018, our cash resources consisted of cash and cash equivalents totaling $122.0 million. Of this amount, $34.9 million (at then-current exchange rates) was held in foreign subsidiaries, which may be subject to restrictions or significant costs should we decide to repatriate these funds. As of September 30, 2018, we had $12.8 million available to borrow under our third-party financing arrangements for either funding of construction or mortgage financing upon completion of certain of our build-to-suit and development projects (Note 9). Our cash resources may be used for future investments and can be used for working capital needs, other commitments, and distributions to our stockholders. In addition, our unleveraged properties had an aggregate carrying value of $116.5 million at September 30, 2018, although there can be no assurance that we would be able to obtain financing for these properties.

In July 2016, our board of directors and the board of directors of WPC approved unsecured loans from WPC to us for acquisition funding purposes, at the sole discretion of WPC’s management, of up to $50.0 million in the aggregate, at a rate equal to the rate at which WPC can borrow funds under its senior credit facility. At September 30, 2018, we had no such loans outstanding from WPC.

Cash Requirements
 
During the next 12 months, we expect that our cash requirements will include payments to fund capital commitments such as build-to-suit projects, acquire new investments, paying distributions to our stockholders and to our affiliates that hold noncontrolling interests in entities we control, making share repurchases pursuant to our redemption plan, and making scheduled debt service payments, as well as other normal recurring operating expenses. One balloon payment totaling $5.6 million on our consolidated mortgage loan obligations is due during the next 12 months. Our Advisor is actively seeking to refinance this loan, although there can be no assurance that it will be able to do so on favorable terms, or at all. We expect to fund $168.0 million related to capital and other lease commitments during the next 12 months. We expect to fund future investments, capital commitments, any capital expenditures on existing properties, and scheduled and unscheduled debt payments on our mortgage loans through the use of our cash reserves, cash generated from operations, and proceeds from financings and asset sales.

Equity Method Investment

We have an interest in an unconsolidated investment that relates to a joint venture for the development of self-storage facilities in Canada (Note 4). This investment is jointly owned with a third party, which is also the general partner. At September 30, 2018, the total equity investment balance for these properties was $19.8 million. The joint venture also had total third-party recourse debt of $28.0 million.

Supplemental Financial Measures

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

FFO, MFFO, and Adjusted MFFO

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

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

The historical accounting convention used for real estate assets requires straight-line depreciation of buildings and improvements. We believe that, since real estate values historically rise and fall with market conditions, including inflation, interest rates, the business cycle, unemployment, and consumer spending, presentations of operating results for a REIT using historical accounting for depreciation may be less informative. Historical accounting for real estate involves the use of GAAP. Any other method of accounting for real estate such as the fair value method cannot be construed to be any more accurate or relevant than the comparable methodologies of real estate valuation found in GAAP. Nevertheless, we believe that the use of FFO, which excludes the impact of real estate-related depreciation and amortization, as well as impairment charges of real estate-related assets, provides a more complete understanding of our performance to investors and to management; and when compared year over year, reflects the impact on our operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, general and administrative expenses, and interest costs, which may not be immediately apparent from net income. In particular, we believe it is appropriate to disregard impairment charges, as this is a fair value adjustment that is largely based on market fluctuations and assessments regarding general market conditions, which can change over time. While impairment charges are excluded from the calculation of FFO, it could be difficult to recover any impairment charges. However, FFO, MFFO, and Adjusted MFFO, as described below, should not be construed to be more relevant or accurate than the current GAAP methodology in calculating net income or in its applicability in evaluating the operating performance of the company. The method utilized to evaluate the value and performance of real estate under GAAP should be construed as a more relevant measure of operational performance and considered more prominently than the non-GAAP measures FFO, MFFO, and Adjusted MFFO and the adjustments to GAAP in calculating FFO, MFFO, and Adjusted MFFO.



CPA:18 – Global 9/30/2018 10-Q 54




Changes in the accounting and reporting promulgations under GAAP (for acquisition fees and expenses from a capitalization/depreciation model to an expensed-as-incurred model) were put into effect in 2009. These changes to GAAP accounting for real estate subsequent to the establishment of NAREIT’s definition of FFO have prompted an increase in cash-settled expenses, such as acquisition fees that are typically accounted for as operating expenses. Management believes these fees and expenses do not affect our overall long-term operating performance. Publicly registered, non-traded REITs typically have a significant amount of acquisition activity and are substantially more dynamic during their initial years of investment and operation. While other start-up entities may also experience significant acquisition activity during their initial years, we believe that non-listed REITs are unique in that they have a limited life with targeted exit strategies within a relatively limited time frame after acquisition activity ceases. We currently intend to begin the process of achieving a liquidity event (i.e., listing of our common stock on a national exchange, a merger or sale of our assets, or another similar transaction) beginning in April 2022, which is seven years following the closing of our initial public offering. Due to the above factors and other unique features of publicly registered, non-traded REITs, the Institute for Portfolio Alternatives (formerly known as the Investment Program Association), or the IPA, an industry trade group, has standardized a measure known as MFFO, which the IPA has recommended as a supplemental measure for publicly registered non-traded REITs and which we believe to be another appropriate non-GAAP measure to reflect the operating performance of a non-traded REIT. MFFO is not equivalent to our net income or loss as determined under GAAP, and MFFO may not be a useful measure of the impact of long-term operating performance on value if we do not continue to operate with a limited life and targeted exit strategy, as currently intended. We believe that, because MFFO excludes costs that we consider more reflective of investing activities and other non-operating items included in FFO, and also excludes acquisition fees and expenses that affect our operations only in periods in which properties are acquired, MFFO can provide, on a going forward basis, an indication of the sustainability (that is, the capacity to continue to be maintained) of our operating performance after the period in which we are acquiring properties and once our portfolio is in place. By providing MFFO, we believe we are presenting useful information that assists investors and analysts to better assess the sustainability of our operating performance now that our initial public offering has been completed and once essentially all of our properties have been acquired. We also believe that MFFO is a recognized measure of sustainable operating performance by the non-traded REIT industry. Further, we believe MFFO is useful in comparing the sustainability of our operating performance, with the sustainability of the operating performance of other real estate companies that are not as involved in acquisition activities. MFFO should only be used to assess the sustainability of a company’s operating performance after a company’s offering has been completed and properties have been acquired, as it excludes acquisition costs that have a negative effect on a company’s operating performance during the periods in which properties are acquired.

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

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



CPA:18 – Global 9/30/2018 10-Q 55




Our management uses MFFO and the adjustments used to calculate it in order to evaluate our performance against other non-traded REITs, which have limited lives with short and defined acquisition periods and targeted exit strategies shortly thereafter. As noted above, MFFO may not be a useful measure of the impact of long-term operating performance on value if we do not continue to operate in this manner. We believe that MFFO and the adjustments used to calculate it allow us to present our performance in a manner that takes into account certain characteristics unique to non-traded REITs, such as their limited life, defined acquisition period, and targeted exit strategy, and is therefore a useful measure for investors. For example, acquisition costs are generally funded from the proceeds of our offering and other financing sources and not from operations. By excluding expensed acquisition costs, the use of MFFO provides information consistent with management’s analysis of the operating performance of the properties. Additionally, fair value adjustments, which are based on the impact of current market fluctuations and underlying assessments of general market conditions, but can also result from operational factors such as rental and occupancy rates, may not be directly related or attributable to our current operating performance. By excluding such changes that may reflect anticipated and unrealized gains or losses, we believe MFFO provides useful supplemental information.

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

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

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

__________
(a)
Under GAAP, rental receipts are allocated to periods using an accrual basis. This may result in timing of income recognition that is significantly different than underlying contract terms. By adjusting for these items (to reflect such payments from a GAAP accrual basis to a cash basis of disclosing the rent and lease payments), management believes that MFFO and Adjusted MFFO provides useful supplemental information on the realized economic impact of lease terms and debt investments, provides insight on the contractual cash flows of such lease terms and debt investments, and aligns results with management’s analysis of operating performance.
(b)
During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we recognized a gain of $5.3 million as a result of the insurance proceeds received for the rebuild of a property that was damaged by a tornado in 2017.
(c)
Under GAAP, certain intangibles are accounted for at cost and reviewed at least annually for impairment, and certain intangibles are assumed to diminish predictably in value over time and amortized, similar to depreciation and amortization of other real estate related assets that are excluded from FFO. However, because real estate values and market lease rates historically rise or fall with market conditions, management believes that by excluding charges relating to amortization of these intangibles, MFFO, and Adjusted MFFO provides useful supplemental information on the performance of the real estate.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Market Risk

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

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

Interest Rate Risk
 
The values of our real estate, related fixed-rate debt obligations, and notes receivable investments are subject to fluctuations based on changes in interest rates. The value of our real estate is also subject to fluctuations based on local and regional economic conditions and changes in the creditworthiness of lessees, which may affect our ability to refinance property-level mortgage debt when balloon payments are scheduled (if we do not choose to repay the debt when due). Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors, including governmental monetary and tax policies, domestic and international economic and political conditions, and other factors beyond our control. An increase in interest rates would likely cause the fair value of our assets to decrease. Increases in interest rates may also have an impact on the credit profile of certain tenants.
 
We are exposed to the impact of interest rate changes primarily through our borrowing activities. To limit this exposure, we have historically attempted to obtain non-recourse mortgage financing on a long-term, fixed-rate basis. However, from time to time, we or our joint investment partners have obtained, and may in the future obtain, variable-rate non-recourse mortgage loans, and, as a result, we have entered into, and may continue to enter into, interest rate swap agreements or interest rate cap agreements with counterparties. See Note 8 for additional information on our interest rate swaps and caps.

At September 30, 2018, our outstanding debt either bore interest at fixed rates, was swapped or capped to a fixed rate or, in the case of one of our Norwegian investments, inflation-linked to the Norwegian CPI. Our debt obligations are more fully described in Note 9 and Liquidity and Capital Resources — Summary of Financing in Item 2 above. The following table presents principal cash outflows for the remainder of 2018, each of the next four calendar years following December 31, 2018, and thereafter, based upon expected maturity dates of our debt obligations outstanding at September 30, 2018 (in thousands):

(a)
Amounts are based on the exchange rate at September 30, 2018, as applicable.

The estimated fair value of our fixed-rate debt and variable-rate debt, which either have effectively been converted to a fixed rate through the use of interest rate swaps or, in the case of one our Norwegian investments, is inflation-linked to the Norwegian CPI, is affected by changes in interest rates. A decrease or increase in interest rates of 1% would change the estimated fair value of this debt at September 30, 2018 by an aggregate increase of $45.8 million or an aggregate decrease of $54.4 million, respectively. Annual interest expense on our unhedged variable-rate debt at September 30, 2018 would increase or decrease by $1.1 million for each respective 1% change in annual interest rates.

As more fully described under Liquidity and Capital Resources — Summary of Financing in Item 2 above, a portion of our variable-rate debt in the table above bore interest at fixed rates at September 30, 2018, but has interest rate reset features that will change the fixed interest rates to then-prevailing market fixed rates at certain points during their term. This debt is generally not subject to short-term fluctuations in interest rates.



CPA:18 – Global 9/30/2018 10-Q 58




Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

We own international investments, primarily in Europe and, as a result, are subject to risk from the effects of exchange rate movements in various foreign currencies, primarily the euro and the Norwegian krone, which may affect future costs and cash flows. Although most of our foreign investments through the third quarter of 2018 were conducted in these currencies, we may conduct business in other currencies in the future. We manage foreign currency exchange rate movements by generally placing both our debt service obligation to the lender and the tenant’s rental obligation to us in the same currency. This reduces our overall exposure to the actual equity that we have invested and the equity portion of our cash flow. In addition, we may use currency hedging to further reduce the exposure to our equity cash flow. We are generally a net receiver of these currencies (we receive more cash than we pay out), therefore our foreign operations benefit from a weaker U.S. dollar and are adversely affected by a stronger U.S. dollar, relative to the foreign currency.

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

Scheduled future minimum rents, exclusive of renewals, under non-cancelable operating leases for our consolidated foreign operations as of September 30, 2018 during the remainder of 2018, each of the next four calendar years following December 31, 2018, and thereafter, are as follows (in thousands):

__________
(a)
Amounts are based on the applicable exchange rates at September 30, 2018. Contractual rents and debt obligations are denominated in the functional currency of the country where each property is located.
(b)
We estimate that, for a 1% increase or decrease in the exchange rate between the euro and the U.S. dollar, there would be a corresponding change in the projected estimated property-level cash flow at September 30, 2018 of $2.4 million.
(c)
We estimate that, for a 1% increase or decrease in the exchange rate between the Norwegian krone and the U.S. dollar, there would be a corresponding change in the projected estimated property-level cash flow at September 30, 2018 of $0.7 million.
(d)
We estimate that, for a 1% increase or decrease in the exchange rate between the British pound sterling and the U.S. dollar, there would be a corresponding change in the projected estimated property-level cash flow at September 30, 2018 of $0.7 million.
(e)
Interest on unhedged variable-rate debt obligations was calculated using the applicable annual interest rates and balances outstanding at September 30, 2018.



CPA:18 – Global 9/30/2018 10-Q 59




As a result of scheduled balloon payments on certain of our international debt obligations, projected debt service obligations exceed projected lease revenues in 2020 and 2021 for investments denominated in the euro, 2018 (remainder), 2021 and after 2022 for the Norwegian krone, and 2018 (remainder), 2019 and 2020 for the British pound sterling. We currently anticipate that, by their respective due dates, we will have refinanced certain of these loans, but there can be no assurance that we will be able to do so on favorable terms, if at all. If refinancing has not occurred, we would expect to use our cash resources to make these payments, if necessary.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Concentrations of credit risk arise when a number of tenants are engaged in similar business activities or have similar economic risks or conditions that could cause them to default on their lease obligations to us. We regularly monitor our portfolio to assess potential concentrations of credit risk as we make additional investments. While we believe our portfolio is reasonably well-diversified, it does contain concentrations in excess of 10% based on the percentage of our consolidated total revenues or pro rata ABR.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, our consolidated portfolio had the following significant characteristics in excess of 10%, based on the percentage of our consolidated total revenues:

63% related to domestic properties, which included concentrations of 14% and 11% in Florida and Texas, respectively; and
37% related to international properties.

At September 30, 2018, our net-leased portfolio, which excludes our operating properties, had the following significant property and lease characteristics in excess of 10% in certain areas, based on the percentage of our pro rata ABR as of that date:

40% related to domestic properties, which included a concentration of 10% in Illinois;
60% related to international properties, which included a concentration of 16% in the Netherlands, 14% in Norway, and 11% in Germany;
49% related to office properties, 15% related to hotel properties, 13% related to industrial properties, 13% related to warehouse properties, and 10% related to retail properties; and
15% related to the hotel, gaming, and leisure industry and 11% related to the banking industry.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

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

Our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, after conducting an evaluation, together with members of our management, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2018, have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were effective as of September 30, 2018 at a reasonable level of assurance.

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

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

During the three months ended September 30, 2018, we issued 362,411 shares of our Class A common stock to our Advisor as consideration for asset management fees. These shares were issued at our most recently published NAV of $8.57 per share. Since none of these transactions were considered to have involved a “public offering” within the meaning of Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, the shares issued were deemed to be exempt from registration. In acquiring our shares, our Advisor represented that such interests were being acquired by it for investment purposes and not with a view to the distribution thereof. From inception and through September 30, 2018, we have issued a total of 4,690,225 shares of our Class A common stock to our Advisor as consideration for asset management fees.

Represents shares of our Class A and Class C common stock requested to be repurchased under our redemption plan, pursuant to which we may elect to redeem shares at the request of our stockholders, subject to certain exceptions, conditions, and limitations. The maximum amount of shares purchasable by us in any period depends on a number of factors and is at the discretion of our board of directors. During the three months ended September 30, 2018, we received 96 and 39 redemption requests for Class A and Class C common stock, respectively. As of the date of this Report, we have fulfilled all of the valid redemptions requests that we received during the three months ended September 30, 2018. We generally receive fees in connection with share redemptions. The average price paid per share will vary depending on the number of redemption requests that were made during the period, the number of redemption requests that qualify for special circumstances, and the most recently published quarterly NAV.
