Strategic Office Partners

During the quarter, the Company announced a partnership with TPG Real Estate to form Strategic Office Partners, a joint venture that will acquire and manage a portfolio of single tenant office assets in high growth cities in the United States. The platform was seeded by the acquisition of six office assets owned by the Company, valued at $187.5 million. The Company sold the seed assets into the joint venture in exchange for cash proceeds of $140.6 million and a 25% interest in the joint venture with an initial equity investment of $16.0 million. Together, TPG and the Company have committed $400.0 million in equity capital including $100.0 million from the Company. At formation, the venture secured a $200.0 million non-recourse secured credit facility from Morgan Stanley of which $125.0 million was funded at closing and the Company received a prorata distribution of the draw of $30.6 million.

The seed portfolio is comprised of six single tenant office assets totaling approximately 1.0 million square feet in the Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego, Nashville and Minneapolis MSAs. The seed portfolio had a weighted average remaining lease term of 3.6 years at closing and was sold to the venture at an exit cap rate of 9.5%.

With these dispositions, the Company has sold approximately $1.4 billion of single and multi-tenant assets in the United States and Europe in 2016, inclusive of the Company's pro-rata share of properties from and into joint ventures in addition to single property transactions within joint ventures.

Gramercy Property Trust
Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measure - continued
(Unaudited, dollar amounts in thousands, except per share data)

 
1. For the three months ended September 30, 2016 and the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company has a net loss available to common shareholders and therefore the diluted weighted average share calculation, which is the denominator in diluted earnings per share, excludes potentially dilutive securities because they would have been anti-dilutive during those periods.
 

Disclaimers

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company has used non-GAAP financial measures as defined by SEC Regulation G in this press release. A reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure and the comparable GAAP financial measure can be found on page 8 of this release.

Funds from operations ("FFO"): The revised White Paper on FFO approved by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, defines FFO as net income (loss) (determined in accordance with GAAP), excluding impairment write-downs of investments in depreciable real estate and investments in in-substance real estate investments and sales of depreciable operating properties, plus real estate-related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs), less distributions to noncontrolling interests and gains/losses from discontinued operations and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.

Core FFO and adjusted funds from operations ("AFFO"): Core FFO and AFFO are presented excluding property acquisition costs, loss on extinguishment of debt, other-than-temporary impairments on retained bonds and other one-time charges. AFFO of the Company also excludes non-cash share-based compensation expense, amortization of above- and below-market leases, amortization of deferred financing costs, amortization of lease inducement costs, non-real estate depreciation and amortization, amortization of free rent received at property acquisition, straight-line rent, and these AFFO adjustments as they pertain to the Company's unconsolidated equity investments. The Company believes that Core FFO and AFFO are useful supplemental measures regarding the Company's operating performances as they provide a more meaningful and consistent comparison of the Company's operating performance and allows investors to more easily compare the Company's operating results.

FFO, Core FFO and AFFO do not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to net income (determined in accordance with GAAP), as indications of our financial performance, or to cash flow from operating activities as measures of our liquidity, nor are they entirely indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions. Our calculations of FFO, Core FFO and AFFO may be different from the calculations used by other companies and, therefore, comparability may be limited.
