2.	Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in conjunction with the instructions to Form 10-Q of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements have been condensed or omitted. These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Paramount and its consolidated subsidiaries, including the Operating Partnership. In the opinion of management, all significant adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) and eliminations (which include intercompany balances and transactions) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and changes in cash flows have been made. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 was derived from audited financial statements as of that date but does not include all information and disclosures required by GAAP. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, as filed with the SEC.

PARAMOUNT GROUP, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

Significant Accounting Policies

There are no material changes to our significant accounting policies as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Use of Estimates

We have made estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022, are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-04, which adds Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 848, Reference Rate Reform: Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. ASU 2020-04 provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions to ease financial reporting burdens related to applying current GAAP to modifications of contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions in connection with the transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01 to clarify that certain optional expedients and exceptions apply to modifications of derivative contracts and certain hedging relationships affected by changes in the interest rates used for discounting cash flows, computing variation margin settlements, and for calculating price alignment interest. ASU 2020-04 is effective beginning on March 12, 2020 and may be applied prospectively to such transactions through December 31, 2022 and ASU 2021-01 is effective beginning on January 7, 2021 and may be applied retrospectively or prospectively to such transactions through December 31, 2022. We will apply ASU 2020-04 and ASU 2021-01 prospectively as and when we enter into transactions to which these updates apply.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, an update to ASC Topic 470, Subtopic - 20, Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options, and ASC Topic 815, Subtopic - 4, Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity's Own Equity. ASU 2020-06 simplifies the guidance for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liability and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity by reducing the number of accounting models for convertible instruments and amends guidance in ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share, relating to the computation of earnings per share for convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity. ASU 2020-06 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years that begin after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted for fiscal years that begin after December 15, 2020. We adopted the provisions of ASU 2020-06 on January 1, 2022. This adoption did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.

3.	Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures

On February 24, 2022, a joint venture, in which we own a 9.2% interest, acquired a 26,000 square foot retail condominium at 1600 Broadway in Manhattan for $191,500,000. In connection with the acquisition, the joint venture obtained a 10-year, $98,000,000 interest-only loan that has a fixed rate of 3.45%. The property, which is located in the heart of Times Square, is 100% leased to Mars, Inc. for a 15-year term and serves as the New York flagship location for M&M’s World. We account for our investment in 1600 Broadway under the equity method of accounting from the date of acquisition.

⁽¹⁾

At December 31, 2021, our basis in the joint venture that owns 712 Fifth Avenue was negative $14,329. Since we have no further obligation to fund additional capital to the joint venture, we no longer recognize our proportionate share of earnings from the joint venture. Instead, we recognize income only to the extent we receive cash distributions from the joint venture and recognize losses to the extent we make cash contributions to the joint venture. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the joint venture had net losses of $1,166 of which our 50.0% share was $583. Accordingly, our basis in the joint venture, taking into account our share of losses, was negative $14,912 as of March 31, 2022.

As of March 31, 2022, the carrying amount of our investments in 55 Second Street, 1600 Broadway, 60 Wall Street, One Steuart Lane and Oder-Center is greater than our share of equity in these investments by $476, $722, $2,604, $720 and $4,536, respectively, and primarily represents the unamortized portion of our capitalized acquisition costs.

7.	Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

We have entered into interest rate swap agreements with an aggregate notional amount of $500,000,000 to fix LIBOR at 0.46% through August 2024. We also entered into interest rate cap agreements with an aggregate notional amount of $360,000,000 to cap LIBOR at 2.00% through August 2023. These interest rate swaps and interest rate caps are designated as cash flow hedges and therefore changes in their fair values are recognized in other comprehensive income or loss (outside of earnings). We recognized other comprehensive income of $18,545,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022, from the changes in fair value of these derivative financial instruments. See Note 9, Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. During the next twelve months, we estimate that $7,347,000 of the amounts to be recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income will be reclassified as a decrease to interest expense.

Equity

Stock Repurchase Program

On November 5, 2019, we received authorization from our Board of Directors to repurchase up to $200,000,000 of our common stock, from time to time, in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. During 2020, we repurchased 13,813,158 common shares at a weighted average price of $8.69 per share, or $120,000,000 in the aggregate. We have not repurchased any shares since December 2020. We have $80,000,000 available for future repurchases under the existing program. The amount and timing of future repurchases, if any, will depend on a number of factors, including, the price and availability of our shares, trading volume, general market conditions and available funding. The stock repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time.

10.	Noncontrolling Interests

Consolidated Joint Ventures

Noncontrolling interests in consolidated joint ventures consist of equity interests held by third parties in 1633 Broadway, One Market Plaza and 300 Mission Street. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, noncontrolling interests in our consolidated joint ventures aggregated $417,577,000 and $428,833,000, respectively.

Consolidated Real Estate Fund

Noncontrolling interests in our consolidated real estate fund consists of equity interests held by third parties in our Residential Development Fund. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the noncontrolling interest in our consolidated real estate fund aggregated $80,909,000 and $81,925,000, respectively.

Operating Partnership

Noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership represent common units of the Operating Partnership that are held by third parties, including management, and units issued to management under equity incentive plans. Common units of the Operating Partnership may be tendered for redemption to the Operating Partnership for cash. We, at our option, may assume that obligation and pay the holder either cash or common shares on a one-for-one basis. Since the number of common shares outstanding is equal to the number of common units owned by us, the redemption value of each common unit is equal to the market value of each common share and distributions paid to each common unitholder is equivalent to dividends paid to common stockholders. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership on our consolidated balance sheets had a carrying amount of $366,536,000 and $356,111,000, respectively, and a redemption value of $243,569,000 and $181,315,000, respectively, based on the closing share price of our common stock on the New York Stock Exchange at the end of each period.

11.	Variable Interest Entities (“VIEs”)

In the normal course of business, we are the general partner of various types of investment vehicles, which may be considered VIEs. We may, from time to time, own equity or debt securities through vehicles, each of which are considered variable interests. Our involvement in financing the operations of the VIEs is generally limited to our investments in the entity. We consolidate these entities when we are deemed to be the primary beneficiary.

Consolidated VIEs

We are the sole general partner of, and owned approximately 90.8% of, the Operating Partnership as of March 31, 2022. The Operating Partnership is considered a VIE and is consolidated in our consolidated financial statements. Since we conduct our business through and substantially all of our interests are held by the Operating Partnership, the assets and liabilities on our consolidated financial statements represent the assets and liabilities of the Operating Partnership. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Operating Partnership held interests in consolidated VIEs owning properties and a real estate fund that were determined to be VIEs. The assets of these consolidated VIEs may only be used to settle the obligations of the entities and such obligations are secured only by the assets of the entities and are non-recourse to the Operating Partnership or us.

Leases

We lease office, retail and storage space to tenants, primarily under non-cancellable operating leases which generally have terms ranging from five to fifteen years. Most of our leases provide tenants with extension options at either fixed or market rates and few of our leases provide tenants with options to early terminate, but such options generally impose an economic penalty on the tenant upon exercising. Rental revenue is recognized in accordance with ASC Topic 842, Leases, and includes (i) fixed payments of cash rents, which represents revenue each tenant pays in accordance with the terms of its respective lease and that is recognized on a straight-line basis over the non-cancellable term of the lease, and includes the effects of rent steps and rent abatements under the leases, (ii) variable payments of tenant reimbursements, which are recoveries of all or a portion of the operating expenses and real estate taxes of the property and is recognized in the same period as the expenses are incurred, (iii) amortization of acquired above and below-market leases, net and (iv) lease termination income.

17.	Incentive Compensation

Stock-Based Compensation

Our Amended and Restated 2014 Equity Incentive Plan provides for grants of equity awards to our executive officers, non-employee directors and employees in order to attract and motivate talent for which we compete. In addition, equity awards are an effective management retention tool as they vest over multiple years based on continued employment. Equity awards are granted in the form of (i) restricted stock and (ii) long-term incentive plan (“LTIP”) units, which represent a class of partnership interests in our Operating Partnership and are typically comprised of performance-based LTIP units, time-based LTIP units and time-based appreciation only LTIP (“AOLTIP”) units. We account for all stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. We recognized stock-based compensation expense of $6,562,000 and $5,486,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, related to awards granted in prior periods, including the equity awards granted on January 13, 2022 (“2022 Equity Grants”) described below.

2022 Equity Grants

2022 Performance-Based Awards Program (“2022 Performance Program”)

On January 13, 2022, the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors (the “Compensation Committee”) approved the 2022 Performance Program, a multi-year performance-based long-term incentive compensation program. Under the 2022 Performance Program, participants may earn awards in the form of LTIP units based on our achievement of rigorous Net Operating Income (“NOI”) goals over a three-year performance measurement period beginning on January 1, 2022 and continuing through December 31, 2024. The amount of LTIP units otherwise earned based on the achievement of the NOI goals would then be increased or decreased based on our Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”) versus that of our New York City office REIT peers (comprised of Vornado Realty Trust, SL Green Realty Corp. and Empire State Realty Trust) but the modifier will not result in a total payout exceeding 100% of the units granted. Additionally, if our TSR is negative over the three-year performance measurement period, then the number of LTIP units that are earned under the 2022 Performance Program will be reduced by 30.0% of the number of such awards that otherwise would have been earned. Furthermore, awards earned under the 2022 Performance Program are subject to vesting based on continued employment with us through December 31, 2025, with 50.0% of each award vesting upon the conclusion of the performance measurement period, and the remaining 50.0% vesting on December 31, 2025. Lastly, our Named Executive Officers are required to hold earned awards for an additional year following vesting. Awards granted under the 2022 Performance Program had a fair value of $7,188,000 on the date of the grant, which is being amortized into expense over the four-year vesting period using a graded vesting attribution method.

On January 13, 2022, we also granted an aggregate of 626,942 LTIP units, 2,703,499 AOLTIP units and 120,243 shares of Restricted Stock to our executive officers and employees that will vest over a period of three to four years. The fair value of LTIP units, AOLTIP units and restricted stock on the date of grant were $5,313,000, $5,831,000, and $1,119,000, respectively, and these awards are being amortized into expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.

Completion of the 2019 Performance-Based Awards Program (“2019 Performance Program”)

On December 31, 2021, the performance measurement period for the 2019 Performance Program ended. On January 13, 2022, the Compensation Committee determined that the performance goals set forth in the 2019 Performance Program were not met. Accordingly, all of the LTIP units that were granted on January 14, 2019, were forfeited, with no awards being earned. These awards had a grant date fair value of $8,106,000 and a remaining unrecognized compensation cost of $713,000 as of March 31, 2022, which will be amortized over a weighted-average period of 0.8 years.

20.	Commitments and Contingencies

Insurance

We carry commercial general liability coverage on our properties, with limits of liability customary within the industry. Similarly, we are insured against the risk of direct and indirect physical damage to our properties including coverage for the perils such as floods, earthquakes and windstorms. Our policies also cover the loss of rental income during an estimated reconstruction period. Our policies reflect limits and deductibles customary in the industry and specific to the buildings and portfolio. We also obtain title insurance policies when acquiring new properties. We currently have coverage for losses incurred in connection with both domestic and foreign terrorist-related activities. While we do carry commercial general liability insurance, property insurance and terrorism insurance with respect to our properties, these policies include limits and terms we consider commercially reasonable. In addition, there are certain losses (including, but not limited to, losses arising from known environmental conditions or acts of war) that are not insured, in full or in part, because they are either uninsurable or the cost of insurance makes it, in our belief, economically impractical to maintain such coverage. Should an uninsured loss arise against us, we would be required to use our own funds to resolve the issue, including litigation costs. We believe the policy specifications and insured limits are adequate given the relative risk of loss, the cost of the coverage and industry practice and, in consultation with our insurance advisors, we believe the properties in our portfolio are adequately insured.

Other Commitments and Contingencies

We are a party to various claims and routine litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. Some of these claims or others to which we may be subject from time to time, including claims arising specifically from the formation transactions, in connection with our initial public offering, may result in defense costs, settlements, fines or judgments against us, some of which are not, or cannot be, covered by insurance. Payment of any such costs, settlements, fines or judgments that are not insured could have an adverse impact on our financial position and results of operations. Should any litigation arise in connection with the formation transactions, we would contest it vigorously. In addition, certain litigation or the resolution of certain litigation may affect the availability or cost of some of our insurance coverage, which could adversely impact our results of operations and cash flow, expose us to increased risks that would be uninsured, and/or adversely impact our ability to attract officers and directors.

The terms of our mortgage debt agreements in place include certain restrictions and covenants which may limit, among other things, certain investments, the incurrence of additional indebtedness and liens and the disposition or other transfer of assets and interests in the borrower and other credit parties, and require compliance with certain debt yield, debt service coverage and loan to value ratios. In addition, our revolving credit facility contains representations, warranties, covenants, other agreements and events of default customary for agreements of this type with comparable companies. As of March 31, 2022, we believe we are in compliance with all of our covenants.

Transfer Tax Assessments

During 2017, the New York City Department of Finance issued Notices of Determination (“Notices”) assessing additional transfer taxes (including interest and penalties) in connection with the transfer of interests in certain properties during our 2014 initial public offering. We believe, after consultation with legal counsel, that the likelihood of a loss is reasonably possible, and while it is not possible to predict the outcome of these Notices, we estimate the range of loss could be between $0 and $53,300,000. Since no amount in this range is a better estimate than any other amount within the range, we have not accrued any liability arising from potential losses relating to these Notices in our consolidated financial statements.

Segments

Our reportable segments are separated by region, based on the two regions in which we conduct our business: New York and San Francisco. Our determination of segments is aligned with our method of internal reporting and the way our Chief Executive Officer, who is also our Chief Operating Decision Maker, makes key operating decisions, evaluates financial results and manages our business.

The following tables provide Net Operating Income (“NOI”) for each reportable segment for the periods set forth below.

NOI⁽¹⁾	$	118,204		$	65,634		$	54,071		$	(1,501	)

⁽¹⁾

NOI is used to measure the operating performance of our properties. NOI consists of rental revenue (which includes property rentals, tenant reimbursements and lease termination income) and certain other property-related revenue less operating expenses (which includes property-related expenses such as cleaning, security, repairs and maintenance, utilities, property administration and real estate taxes). We use NOI internally as a performance measure and believe it provides useful information to investors regarding our financial condition and results of operations because it reflects only those income and expense items that are incurred at the property level. Other real estate companies may use different methodologies for calculating NOI and, accordingly, our presentation of NOI may not be comparable to other real estate companies.

Acquisitions

Stock Repurchase Program

Leasing Results - Three Months Ended March 31, 2022

In the three months ended March 31, 2022, we leased 202,820 square feet, of which our share was 152,202 that was leased at a weighted average initial rent of $67.67 per square foot. This leasing activity, offset by lease expirations in the three months, decreased leased occupancy and same store leased occupancy (properties owned by us in a similar manner during both reporting periods) by 10 basis points to 90.6% at March 31, 2022 from 90.7% at December 31, 2021. Of the 152,202 square feet leased, 141,269 square feet represented our share of second generation space (space that had been vacant for less than twelve months) for which the weighted average rental rates were in-line with prior escalated rent on a cash basis and decreased by 0.5% on a GAAP basis. The weighted average lease term for leases signed during the three months was 7.8 years and weighted average tenant improvements and leasing commissions on these leases were $8.40 per square foot per annum, or 12.4% of initial rent.

New York

In the three months ended March 31, 2022, we leased 175,524 square feet in our New York portfolio, of which our share was 134,104 square feet that was leased at a weighted average initial rent of $63.35 per square foot. This leasing activity, partially offset by lease expirations in the three months, increased leased occupancy and same store leased occupancy by 40 basis points to 90.8% at March 31, 2022 from 90.4% at December 31, 2021. Of the 134,104 square feet leased, 126,125 square feet represented our share of second generation space (space that had been vacant for less than twelve months) for which rental rate decreased by 1.1% on a cash basis and 4.5% on a GAAP basis. The weighted average lease term for leases signed during the three months was 8.3 years and weighted average tenant improvements and leasing commissions on these leases were $8.74 per square foot per annum, or 13.8% of initial rent.

San Francisco

In the three months ended March 31, 2022, we leased 27,296 square feet in our San Francisco portfolio, of which our share was 18,098 square feet that was leased at a weighted average initial rent of $99.67 per square foot. This leasing activity, offset by lease expirations in the three months, decreased leased occupancy and same store leased occupancy by 150 basis points to 90.1% at March 31, 2022 from 91.6% at December 31, 2021. Of the 18,098 square feet leased in the three months, 15,144 square feet represented our share of second generation space for which we achieved rental rate increases of 6.3% on a cash basis and 24.9% on a GAAP basis. The weighted average lease term for leases signed during the three months was 4.6 years and weighted average tenant improvements and leasing commissions on these leases were $3.95 per square foot per annum, or 4.0% of initial rent.

This increase in income resulted from higher net income subject to allocation to the unitholders of the Operating Partnership for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity

Our primary sources of liquidity include existing cash balances, cash flow from operations and borrowings available under our revolving credit facility. As of March 31, 2022, we had $1.22 billion of liquidity comprised of $461,995,000 of cash and cash equivalents, $6,331,000 of restricted cash and $750,000,000 of borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility.

We expect that these sources will provide adequate liquidity over the next 12 months for all anticipated needs, including scheduled principal and interest payments on our outstanding indebtedness, existing and anticipated capital improvements, the cost of securing new and renewal leases, dividends to stockholders and distributions to unitholders, and all other capital needs related to the operations of our business.

We anticipate that our long-term needs including debt maturities and potential acquisitions will be funded by operating cash flow, third-party joint venture capital, mortgage financings and/or re-financings, and the issuance of long-term debt or equity and cash on hand. Although we may be able to anticipate and plan for certain of our liquidity needs, unexpected increases in uses of cash that are beyond our control and which affect our financial condition and results of operations may arise, or our sources of liquidity may be fewer than, and the funds available from such sources may be less than, anticipated or required.

Consolidated Debt

As of March 31, 2022, our outstanding consolidated debt aggregated $3.86 billion. We had no amounts outstanding under our revolving credit facility and none of our debt matures until October 2023. We may refinance our maturing debt when it comes due or repay it early depending on prevailing market conditions, liquidity requirements and other factors. The amounts involved in connection with these transactions could be material to our consolidated financial statements.

Revolving Credit Facility

Our $750,000,000 revolving credit facility matures in March 2026 and has two six-month extension options. The interest rate on the facility is 115 basis points over the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) with adjustments based on the terms of advances, plus a facility fee of 20 basis points. The facility also features a sustainability-linked pricing component such that if we meet certain sustainability performance targets, the applicable per annum interest rate will be reduced by one basis point. The facility contains certain restrictions and covenants that require us to maintain, on an ongoing basis, (i) a leverage ratio not to exceed 60%, which may be increased to 65% for any fiscal quarter in which an acquisition of real estate is completed, and for up to the next three subsequent consecutive fiscal quarters, (ii) a secured leverage ratio not to exceed 50%, (iii) a fixed coverage ratio of at least 1.50, (iv) an unsecured leverage ratio to not to exceed 60%, which may be increased to 65% for any fiscal quarter in which an acquisition of real estate is completed, and for up to the next three subsequent consecutive fiscal quarters and (v) an unencumbered interest coverage ratio of at least 1.75. The facility also contains customary representations and warranties, limitations on permitted investments and other covenants.

Dividend Policy

On March 15, 2022, we declared an increased quarterly cash dividend of $0.0775 per share of common stock for the first quarter ended March 31, 2022, which was paid on April 15, 2022 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on March 31, 2022. This dividend policy, if continued, would require us to pay out approximately $18,800,000 each quarter to common stockholders and unitholders.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of March 31, 2022, our unconsolidated joint ventures had $1.74 billion of outstanding indebtedness, of which our share was $621,513,000. We do not guarantee the indebtedness of our unconsolidated joint ventures other than providing customary environmental indemnities and guarantees of non-recourse carve-outs; however, we may elect to fund additional capital to a joint venture through equity contributions (generally on a basis proportionate to our ownership interests), advances or partner loans in order to enable the joint venture to repay this indebtedness upon maturity.

Transfer Tax Assessments

During 2017, the New York City Department of Finance issued Notices of Determination (“Notices”) assessing additional transfer taxes (including interest and penalties) in connection with the transfer of interests in certain properties during our 2014 initial public offering. We believe, after consultation with legal counsel that the likelihood of a loss is reasonably possible, and while it is not possible to predict the outcome of these Notices, we estimate the range of loss could be between $0 and $53,300,000. Since no amount in this range is a better estimate than any other amount within the range, we have not accrued any liability arising from potential losses relating to these Notices in our consolidated financial statements.

Inflation

Substantially all of our leases provide for separate real estate tax and operating expense escalations. In addition, many of the leases provide for fixed base rent increases. We believe inflationary increases in expenses may be at least partially offset by the contractual rent increases and expense escalations described above. We do not believe inflation has had a material impact on our historical financial position or results of operations.

Cash Flows

Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash were $468,326,000 and $529,666,000 as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, and $488,240,000 and $465,324,000 as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash decreased by $61,340,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and increased by $22,916,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The following table sets forth the changes in cash flow.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We use and present NOI, Same Store NOI, FFO and Core FFO, as supplemental measures of our performance. The summary below describes our use of these measures, provides information regarding why we believe these measures are meaningful supplemental measures of our performance and reconciles these measures from net income or loss, the most directly comparable GAAP measure. Other real estate companies may use different methodologies for calculating these measures, and accordingly, our presentation of these measures may not be comparable to other real estate companies. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered a substitute for, and should only be considered together with and as a supplement to, financial information presented in accordance with GAAP.

Net Operating Income (“NOI”)

We use NOI to measure the operating performance of our properties. NOI consists of rental revenue (which includes property rentals, tenant reimbursements and lease termination income) and certain other property-related revenue less operating expenses (which includes property-related expenses such as cleaning, security, repairs and maintenance, utilities, property administration and real estate taxes). We also present Cash NOI, which deducts from NOI, straight-line rent adjustments and the amortization of above and below-market leases, including our share of such adjustments of unconsolidated joint ventures. In addition, we present Paramount’s share of NOI and Cash NOI which represents our share of NOI and Cash NOI of consolidated and unconsolidated joint ventures, based on our percentage ownership in the underlying assets. We use NOI and Cash NOI internally as performance measures and believe they provide useful information to investors regarding our financial condition and results of operations because they reflect only those income and expense items that are incurred at property level. The following tables present reconciliations of net income or loss to NOI and Cash NOI for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.

Same Store NOI

The tables below set forth the reconciliations of our share of NOI to our share of Same Store NOI and Same Store Cash NOI for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021. These metrics are used to measure the operating performance of our properties that were owned by us in a similar manner during both the current and prior reporting periods, and represents our share of Same Store NOI and Same Store Cash NOI from consolidated and unconsolidated joint ventures based on our percentage ownership in the underlying assets. Same Store NOI also excludes lease termination income, impairment of receivables arising from operating leases and certain other items that vary from period to period. Same Store Cash NOI excludes the effect of non-cash items such as the straight-line rent adjustments and the amortization of above and below-market leases.

Funds from Operations (“FFO”) and Core Funds from Operations (“Core FFO”)

FFO is a supplemental measure of our performance. We present FFO in accordance with the definition adopted by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“Nareit”). Nareit defines FFO as net income or loss, calculated in accordance with GAAP, adjusted to exclude depreciation and amortization from real estate assets, impairment losses on certain real estate assets and gains or losses from the sale of certain real estate assets or from change in control of certain real estate assets, including our share of such adjustments of unconsolidated joint ventures. FFO is commonly used in the real estate industry to assist investors and analysts in comparing results of real estate companies because it excludes the effect of real estate depreciation and amortization and net gains on sales, which are based on historical costs and implicitly assume that the value of real estate diminishes predictably over time, rather than fluctuating based on existing market conditions. In addition, we present Core FFO as an alternative measure of our operating performance, which adjusts FFO for certain other items that we believe enhance the comparability of our FFO across periods. Core FFO, when applicable, excludes the impact of certain items, including, transaction related costs, realized and unrealized gains or losses on real estate fund investments, unrealized gains or losses on interest rate swaps, severance costs and gains or losses on early extinguishment of debt, in order to reflect the Core FFO of our real estate portfolio and operations. In future periods, we may also exclude other items from Core FFO that we believe may help investors compare our results.

FFO and Core FFO are presented as supplemental financial measures and do not fully represent our operating performance. Neither FFO nor Core FFO is intended to be a measure of cash flow or liquidity. Please refer to our consolidated financial statements, prepared in accordance with GAAP, for purposes of evaluating our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

The following table presents a reconciliation of net income to FFO and Core FFO for the periods set forth below.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and interest rates. Our future earnings, cash flows and fair values relevant to financial instruments are dependent upon prevalent market interest rates. Our primary market risk results from our indebtedness, which bears interest at both fixed and variable rates. We manage our market risk on variable rate debt by entering into interest rate swap agreements to fix the rate or interest rate cap agreements to limit exposure to increases in rates, on all or a portion of the debt for varying periods through maturity. This in turn, reduces the risks of variability of cash flows created by variable rate debt and mitigates the risk of increases in interest rates. Our objective when undertaking such arrangements is to reduce our floating rate exposure and we do not enter into hedging arrangements for speculative purposes. Subject to maintaining our status as a REIT for Federal income tax purposes, we may utilize swap arrangements in the future.

The following table summarizes our consolidated debt, the weighted average interest rates and the fair value as of March 31, 2022.

Property		Rate	2022		2023		2024		2025		2026		Thereafter		Total		Fair Value

On December 31, 2021, the Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) ceased the publication of the one-week and two month LIBOR rates. The remaining LIBOR rates will continue to be published through June 30, 2023, after which the interest rate for our variable rate debt and derivative instruments, including interest rates for our variable rate debt and derivative instruments of our unconsolidated joint ventures, will be based on an alternative variable rate as specified in the applicable documentation governing such debt or derivative instruments or as otherwise agreed upon. While we expect LIBOR to be available in substantially its current form until at least the end of June 2023, if sufficient banks decline to make submission to the LIBOR administrator, it is possible that LIBOR may become unavailable prior to that point, which could increase our risk associated with the transition to an alternative variable rate. As of December 31, 2021, banks are no longer issuing any new LIBOR debt. The discontinuation of LIBOR and the related transition to an alternative rate would not affect our ability to borrow or maintain already outstanding borrowings or swaps, however, future changes may result in interest rates and/or payments that are higher or lower than if LIBOR were to remain available in its current form. As of March 31, 2022, all of our outstanding variable rate notes and mortgages payable and derivative instruments are indexed to LIBOR and we will continue to monitor and evaluate the related risks.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is processed, recorded, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and regulations, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.

As of March 31, 2022, the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, regarding the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing evaluation, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is processed, recorded, summarized and reported within the 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, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes to our internal control over financial reporting in connection with the evaluation referenced above that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
