HINES GLOBAL INCOME TRUST INC, INC.
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2019 and 2018

1.  ORGANIZATION

The accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial information has been prepared according to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In the opinion of management, all adjustments and eliminations, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly and in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) the financial position of Hines Global Income Trust, Inc. as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 have been included.  The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted according to such rules and regulations. For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes included in Hines Global Income Trust, Inc.’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Hines Global Income Trust, Inc. (the “Company”), formerly known as Hines Global REIT II, Inc., was incorporated in Maryland on July 31, 2013, to invest in a diversified portfolio of quality commercial real estate properties and other real estate investments throughout the United States and internationally, and to a lesser extent, invest in real-estate related securities. The Company is sponsored by Hines Interests Limited Partnership (“Hines”), a fully integrated global real estate investment and management firm that has acquired, developed, owned, operated and sold real estate for over 60 years. The Company is managed by Hines Global REIT II Advisors LP (the “Advisor”), an affiliate of Hines. The Company conducts substantially all of its operations through Hines Global REIT II Properties, LP (the “Operating Partnership”). An affiliate of the Advisor, Hines Global REIT II Associates LP, owns less than a 1% limited partner interest in the Operating Partnership as of March 31, 2019 and the Advisor also owns the special limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership. The Company has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, for U.S. federal income tax purposes beginning with its taxable year ended December 31, 2015.

As of March 31, 2019, the Company owned direct real estate investments in ten properties totaling 6.1 million square feet that were 95% leased. The Company raises capital for its investments through public offerings of its common stock. The Company commenced its initial public offering of up to $2.5 billion in shares of its common stock (the “Initial Offering”) in August 2014, and commenced its second public offering of up to $2.5 billion in shares of common stock including $500.0 million of shares offered under its distribution reinvestment plan (the “Follow-On Offering”) in December 2017. As of May 14, 2019, the Company had received gross offering proceeds of $606.8 million from the sale of 61.0 million shares through its public offerings, including shares issued pursuant to its distribution reinvestment plan.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q include the accounts of Hines Global Income Trust, Inc. and the Operating Partnership (over which the Company exercises financial and operating control). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Investments in Real Estate-Related Securities

In the fourth quarter of 2018, the Company made its initial investments in real estate-related securities. These securities consist of common equities, preferred equities and debt investments of publicly traded REITs. The Company has elected to classify these investments as trading securities and carry such investments at fair value. These assets are valued on a recurring basis, which resulted in a realized gain of $63,000 and an unrealized gain of $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, both of which are recorded in “gain (loss) on investments in real estate-related securities” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).

Tenant and Other Receivables

Tenant and other receivables consists primarily of receivables attributable to straight-line rent and receivables related to base rents and tenant reimbursements. Straight-line rent receivable consists of the difference between the tenants’ rents calculated on a straight-line basis from the date of acquisition or lease commencement over the remaining terms of the related leases and the tenants’ actual rents due under the lease agreements. Straight-line rent receivables were $6.9 million and $5.8 million as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

Includes $1.4 million of capitalized acquisition costs related primarily to the acquisition of ABC Westland, which was acquired on May 3, 2019 and discussed in “Note 12—Subsequent Events.”

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 which requires companies that lease assets to recognize on the balance sheet the right-of-use assets and related lease liabilities (“ASC 842”). The accounting by companies that own the assets leased by the lessee (the lessor) remains largely unchanged from the adoption of ASC 842. The Company adopted ASC 842 beginning January 1, 2019 and is using the modified retrospective approach. No adjustment to opening retained earnings was required.

In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, which allows lessors to account for lease and non-lease components by class of underlying assets, as a single lease component if certain criteria are met. The new standard permits companies to recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption in lieu of restating prior periods and provides other optional practical expedients.

On January 1, 2019, the Company elected the following practical expedients:

The transition method in which the application date of January 1, 2019 is the beginning of the reporting period that the Company first applied the new guidance.

The practical expedient package which allows an entity not to reassess (1) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases; (2) the lease classification for any expired or existing leases; (3) initial direct costs for any existing leases.

As an accounting policy election, a lessor may choose not to separate the non-lease components, by class of underlying assets, from the lease components and instead account for both types of components as a single component under certain conditions.

As an accounting policy election, a lessee may choose not to separate the non-lease components, by class of underlying assets, from the lease components and instead account for both types of components as a single component. The Company elected to apply the practical expedient for all of its leases to account for the lease and non-lease components as a single, combined operating lease component.

6


The Company completed its evaluation of the impact that the adoption of ASC 842 will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements relating to its leases from both the lessee and lessor perspective. Based on the Company’s analysis, the Company identified the following changes to result from its adoption of ASC 842:

Lessor Accounting

The Company is entitled to receive tenant reimbursements for operating expenses for common area maintenance. Based on guidance in these ASUs, such revenue is defined as a non-lease component, which would be accounted for in accordance with ASC 606. However, the Company elected to apply the practical expedient for all of its leases to account for the lease and non-lease components as a single, combined operating lease component.

Capitalization of leasing costs is limited to initial direct costs. Initial direct costs have been defined as incremental costs of a lease that would not have been incurred if the lease had not been obtained. Legal costs are no longer capitalized, but expensed as incurred. There is no change in the Company’s accounting for lease inducements and commissions.

The Company’s existing leases continue to be classified as operating leases, however, leases entered into or modified after January 1, 2019 may be classified as either operating or sales-type leases, based on specific classification criteria. The Company believes all of its leases will continue to be classified as operating leases, and all operating leases will continue to have a similar pattern of recognition as under current GAAP.

Lessee Accounting

The Company has ground lease agreements in which the Company is the lessee for land underneath Bishop’s Square that the Company accounts for as an operating lease. The Company previously recognized an amount related to this ground lease as part of the allocation of the purchase price of Bishop’s Square, which was recorded to intangible lease assets, net. The lease has a remaining term of 763 years. Upon adoption of ASC 842 on January 1, 2019, the Company determined the lease liability is immaterial and reclassified approximately €29.7 million (approximately $33.9 million assuming a rate of $1.14 per EUR as of January 1, 2019, the date of adoption) from intangible lease assets, net to right-of-use asset, net in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, "Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement." This ASU amends and removes several disclosure requirements including the valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements. The ASU also modifies some disclosure requirements and requires additional disclosures for changes in unrealized gains and losses included in other comprehensive income for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements and requires the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods therein. Early adoption is permitted for any eliminated or modified disclosures upon issuance of this ASU. The Company is currently assessing the impact the adoption of this guidance will have on its financial statements.

Leases

The Company’s leases are generally for terms of 15 years or less and may include multiple options to extend the lease term upon tenant election. The Company’s leases typically do not include an option to purchase. Generally, the Company does not expect the value of its real estate assets to be impacted materially at the end of any individual lease term, as the Company is typically able to re-lease the space and real estate assets tend to hold their value over a long period of time. Tenant terminations prior to the lease end date occasionally result in a one-time termination fee based on the remaining unpaid lease payments including variable payments and could be material to the tenant. Many of the Company’s leases have increasing minimum rental rates during the terms of the leases through escalation provisions. In addition, the majority of the Company’s leases provide for variable rental revenues, such as, reimbursements of real estate taxes, maintenance and insurance and may include an amount based on a percentage of the tenants’ sales. Total revenue related to expense reimbursements from tenants for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $2.9 million which is included in Rental revenue on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).

The Company has entered into non-cancelable lease agreements with tenants for space.  As of March 31, 2019, the approximate fixed future minimum rentals for the period from April 1, 2019 through December 31, 2019, for each of the years ending December 31, 2020 through 2023 and thereafter related to the Company’s commercial properties are as follows (in thousands):

The Company expects to be able to repay with cash on hand or proceeds raised from its current offering, or to be able to refinance the debt terms on the principal outstanding.

5. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

The Company has entered into several interest rate cap contracts in connection with certain of its secured mortgage loans in order to limit its exposure against the variability of future interest rates on its variable interest rate borrowings.  The Company’s interest rate cap contracts have economically limited the interest rate on the loan to which they relate.  The Company has not designated these derivatives as hedges for accounting purposes. The Company has not entered into a master netting arrangement with its third-party counterparty and does not offset on its condensed consolidated balance sheets the fair value amount recorded for its derivative instruments.

The Company has also entered into foreign currency forward contracts as economic hedges against the variability of foreign exchange rates related to certain cash flows of some of its international investments. These forward contracts fixed the currency exchange rates on each of the investments to which they related. The Company did not designate any of these contracts as fair value or cash flow hedges for accounting purposes.  In December 2018, the Company entered into a €15.0 million foreign currency forward contract with an effective date of December 20, 2018 and a trade date of February 25, 2019, in connection with the funding of the Maintal Logistics acquisition. Additionally, in March 2019, the Company entered into a €46.0 million foreign currency forward contract with an effective date of March 1, 2019 and a trade date of March 20, 2019, in connection with the acquisition of ABC Westland. See Note 12—Subsequent Events for additional information regarding the purchase of ABC Westland.

6. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Public Offering

On November 30, 2017, the Company (i) redesignated its issued and outstanding Class A shares of common stock, Class T shares of common stock, Class I shares of common stock and Class J shares of common stock as “Class AX shares,” “Class TX shares,” “Class IX shares” and “Class JX shares,” (collectively, the “IPO Shares”) respectively, and (ii) reclassified the authorized but unissued portion of its common stock into four additional classes of shares of common stock: “Class T shares,” “Class S shares,” “Class D shares,” and “Class I shares.” The Company is offering its shares of common stock in the Follow-On Offering in any combination of Class T shares, Class S shares, Class D shares and Class I shares (collectively, the “Follow-On Offering Shares”). All shares of the Company’s common stock have the same voting rights and rights upon liquidation, although distributions received by the Company’s stockholders are expected to differ due to the distribution and stockholder servicing fees payable with respect to the applicable share classes, which reduce distributions.

The Company complies with the FASB ASC 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” which requires, among other things, that financial instruments that represent a mandatory obligation of the Company to repurchase shares be classified as liabilities and reported at settlement value.  When shares are tendered for redemption and approved (or not prohibited) by the board of directors, the Company will reclassify such obligations from equity to an accrued liability based upon their respective

12


settlement values and redeem those shares in the subsequent month pursuant to the Company’s current share redemption program.

Distributions reinvested pursuant to the Company’s distribution reinvestment plan were reinvested in shares of the same class as the shares on which the distributions were made. Some or all of the cash distributions may be paid from sources other than cash flows from operations.

Some or all of these fees may be reallowed to participating broker dealers rather than being retained by the Dealer Manager.
(2)
Includes amounts the Advisor paid on behalf of the Company such as general and administrative expenses and acquisition-related expenses.  These amounts are generally reimbursed to the Advisor during the month following the period in which they are incurred.
(3)
Through its ownership of the special limited partner interest in the Operating Partnership, the Advisor is entitled to an annual performance participation allocation of 12.5% of the Operating Partnership’s total return. Total return is defined as distributions paid or accrued plus the change in net asset value of the Company’s shares of common stock for the applicable period. This performance participation allocation is subject to the Company earning a 5% total return annually (as defined above), after considering the effect of any losses carried forward from the prior period (as defined in the Operating Partnership agreement). The performance participation allocation accrues monthly and is payable after the completion of each calendar year.
(4)
Includes amounts paid related to the Hines Credit Facility.

8.  FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair values determined by Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities the Company has the ability to access. Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs utilize inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets and inputs other than quoted prices observable for the asset or liability, such as interest rates and yield curves observable at commonly quoted intervals. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. In instances in which the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety has been determined is based on the lowest level input significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

Financial Instruments Measured on a Recurring Basis

As described in “Note 5 — Derivative Instruments,” the Company entered into several interest rate contracts as economic hedges against the variability of future interest rates on its variable interest rate borrowings. The valuation of these derivative

15


instruments is determined based on assumptions that management believes market participants would use in pricing, using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities. The fair values of interest rate contracts have been determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash receipts (or payments) and the discounted expected variable cash payments (or receipts). The variable cash payments (or receipts) are based on an expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate curves.

Although the Company has determined the majority of the inputs used to value its interest rate contracts fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with its derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads, to evaluate the likelihood of default by the Company and its counterparties. In adjusting the fair values of its derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, the Company has considered the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral postings, thresholds and guarantees. However, as of March 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company has assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions and has determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuations of its derivatives. As a result, the Company has determined its derivative valuations are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Additionally, as described in “Note 5 — Derivative Instruments,” the Company has entered into foreign currency forward contracts as economic hedges against the variability of foreign exchange rates. The valuation of these forward contracts is determined based on assumptions that management believes market participants would use in pricing, using widely accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including currency exchange rate curves and implied volatilities. The Company has determined its foreign currency forward contracts valuations are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, as they are based on observable inputs but are not traded in active markets.

In the fourth quarter of 2018, the Company made its initial investments in real estate-related securities. These securities consist of common equities, preferred equities and debt investments of publicly traded REITs. The Company has elected to classify these investments as trading securities and carry such investments at fair value. In May 2019, the Company made an additional $10.0 million investment in real estate-related securities. The following table summarizes activity for the Company’s assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

Financial Instruments Fair Value Disclosures

As of March 31, 2019, the Company estimated that the fair value of its notes payable, excluding deferred financing costs, which had a book value of $545.6 million, was $541.0 million. As of December 31, 2018, the Company estimated that the fair value of its notes payable, excluding deferred financing costs, which had a book value of $545.8 million, was $540.3 million. Management has utilized available market information such as interest rate and spread assumptions of notes payable with similar terms and remaining maturities, to estimate the amounts required to be disclosed. Although the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its notes payable fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit quality adjustments associated with its fair value of notes payable utilize Level 3 inputs. However, the Company has assessed the significance of the impact of the credit quality adjustments on the overall valuations of the fair market value of its notes payable and has determined they are not significant. Other financial instruments not measured at fair value on a recurring basis include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, tenant and other receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses, other liabilities, due to affiliates and distributions payable.  The carrying value of these items reasonably approximates their fair value based on their highly-liquid nature and/or short-term maturities. Due to the short-term nature of these instruments, Level 1 inputs are utilized to estimate the fair value of the cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and Level 2 inputs are utilized to estimate the fair value of the remaining financial instruments.

9. REPORTABLE SEGMENTS

As described previously, the Company invests the net proceeds from its public offerings into its portfolio of quality commercial real estate properties and other real estate investments throughout the United States and internationally. The Company’s current business consists of owning, operating, acquiring, developing, investing in, and disposing of real estate assets and all of the Company’s consolidated revenues and property operating expenses are from these real estate properties.

Management evaluates the operating performance of each of its real estate properties at an individual investment level and considers each investment to be an operating segment. The Company has aggregated its operating segments into seven reportable segments: domestic office investments, domestic residential/living investments, domestic retail investments, domestic industrial investments, international industrial investments, international office investments, and international residential/living investments.

The tables below provide additional information related to each of the Company’s segments (in thousands) and a reconciliation to the Company’s net income (loss), as applicable. “Corporate-Level Accounts” includes amounts incurred by the corporate-level entities which are not allocated to any of the reportable segments.

11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company may be subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. These matters are generally covered by insurance. While the resolution of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes the final outcome of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

12. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Lodz Urban Logistics

In April 2019, the Company entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement to purchase Lodz Urban Logistics, an industrial logistics property located in Lodz, Poland. The net contract sales price for Lodz Urban Logistics is expected to be approximately €22.7 million (approximately $25.4 million assuming a rate of $1.12 per Euro as of the contract date), exclusive of transaction costs and closing prorations. The Company expects to fund the acquisition using proceeds from its public offerings, a mortgage secured by the property from a third-party and its credit facility with Hines. The Company expects the closing of this acquisition to occur in June 2019, subject to a number of closing conditions. However, the Company can provide no assurance that this acquisition will close on the expected timeline or at all.

ABC Westland

In May 2019, the Company acquired ABC Westland, an industrial property located in the Hague, the Netherlands. ABC Westland consists of 1,267,278 square feet of net rentable area and is, in the aggregate, 97.5% leased to 46 tenants. The purchase price for ABC Westland was €116.5 million (approximately $130.5 million assuming a rate of $1.12 per EUR on the date of the transaction), exclusive of transaction costs and working capital reserves. In connection with the acquisition of the property, the Company entered into a third-party mortgage loan for the principal sum of approximately €75.0 million (approximately $84.0 million assuming a rate of $1.12 per EUR on the date of the transaction). The mortgage loan has a floating interest rate of Euribor + 1.50% per annum. Repayment of principal is due in quarterly installments on each interest payment date, with the final payment being due on the last interest payment date of February 15, 2024.

Item 2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in Item 1 in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The following discussion should also be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”), as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as amended. Such statements include statements concerning future financial performance and distributions, future debt and financing levels, acquisitions and investment objectives, payments to Hines Global REIT II Advisors LP (the “Advisor”), and its affiliates and other plans and objectives of management for future operations or economic performance, or assumptions or forecasts related thereto as well as all other statements that are not historical statements. These statements are only predictions. We caution that forward-looking statements are not guarantees. Actual events or our investments and results of operations could differ materially from those expressed or implied in forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by the use of terms such as “may,” “should,” “expect,” “could,” “intend,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “believe,” “continue,” “predict,” “potential” or the negative of such terms and other comparable terminology.

The forward-looking statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are based on our current expectations, plans, estimates, assumptions and beliefs that involve numerous risks and uncertainties. Assumptions relating to the foregoing involve judgments with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive and market conditions, the availability of future financing and future business decisions, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many of which are beyond our control. Any of the assumptions underlying forward-looking statements could prove to be inaccurate. To the extent that our assumptions differ from actual results, our ability to meet such forward-looking statements, including our ability to generate positive cash flow from operations, pay distributions to our shareholders and maintain the value of any real estate investments and real estate-related investments in which we may hold an interest in the future, may be significantly hindered.

The following are some of the risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those presented in certain forward-looking statements:


Whether we will have the opportunity to invest offering and distribution reinvestment plan proceeds to acquire properties or other investments or whether such proceeds will be needed to redeem shares or for other purposes, and if proceeds are available for investment, our ability to make such investments in a timely manner and at appropriate amounts that provide acceptable returns;


Competition for tenants and real estate investment opportunities, including competition with other programs sponsored by or affiliated with Hines Interests Limited Partnership (“Hines”);


Our reliance on our Advisor, Hines and affiliates of Hines for our day-to-day operations and the selection of real estate investments, and our Advisor’s ability to attract and retain high-quality personnel who can provide service at a level acceptable to us;
 
 
Our ability to complete acquisitions of properties under contract;


Risks associated with conflicts of interests that result from our relationship with our Advisor and Hines, as well as conflicts of interests certain of our officers and directors face relating to the positions they hold with other entities;


The potential need to fund tenant improvements, lease-up costs or other capital expenditures, as well as increases in property operating expenses and costs of compliance with environmental matters or discovery of previously undetected environmentally hazardous or other undetected adverse conditions at our properties;


The availability and timing of distributions we may pay is uncertain and cannot be assured;



22


Our distributions have been paid using cash flows from financing activities, including proceeds from our public offering, as well as cash from the waiver of fees by our Advisor, and some or all of the distributions we pay in the future may be paid from similar sources or sources such as cash advances by our Advisor, cash resulting from a waiver or deferral of fees, borrowings and/or proceeds from the offering. When we pay distributions from sources other than our cash flow from operations, we will have less funds available for the acquisition of properties, and your overall return may be reduced;
 
 
Risks associated with debt and our ability to secure financing;
 
 
Risks associated with adverse changes in general economic or local market conditions, including terrorist attacks and other acts of violence, which may affect the markets in which we and our tenants operate;
 
 
Catastrophic events, such as hurricanes, earthquakes, tornadoes and terrorist attacks; and our ability to secure adequate insurance at reasonable and appropriate rates;
 
 
The failure of any bank in which we deposit our funds could reduce the amount of cash we have available to pay distributions and make additional investments;
 
 
Changes in governmental, tax, real estate and zoning laws and regulations and the related costs of compliance and increases in our administrative operating expenses, including expenses associated with operating as a public company;
 
 
International investment risks, including the burden of complying with a wide variety of foreign laws and the uncertainty of such laws, the tax treatment of transaction structures, political and economic instability, foreign currency fluctuations, and inflation and governmental measures to curb inflation may adversely affect our operations and our ability to make distributions;
 
 
The lack of liquidity associated with our assets; and
 
 
Our ability to qualify as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

These risks are more fully discussed in, and all forward-looking statements should be read in light of, all of the risk factors under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. All forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the risk that actual results will differ materially from the expectations expressed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may increase with the passage of time. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the inclusion of such forward-looking statements should not be regarded as a representation by us or any other person that the objectives and plans set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q will be achieved. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by reference to these risks and uncertainties. Each forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date of the particular statement, and we do not undertake to update any forward-looking statement.

The Company

Hines Global Income Trust, Inc. (“Hines Global”), formerly known as Hines Global REIT II, Inc., was formed as a Maryland corporation on July 31, 2013, for the purpose of investing in a diversified portfolio of quality commercial real estate properties and other real estate investments located throughout the United States and internationally. Hines Global is sponsored by Hines Interests Limited Partnership (“Hines”), a fully integrated global real estate investment and management firm that has acquired, developed, owned, operated and sold real estate for over 60 years. The Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes beginning with its taxable year ended December 31, 2015.

We raise capital for our investments through public offerings of our common stock. We commenced our initial public offering of up to $2.5 billion in shares of our common stock (the “Initial Offering”) in August 2014 and commenced our second public offering of up to $2.5 billion in shares of common stock including $500.0 million of shares offered under our distribution reinvestment plan (the “Follow-On Offering”) in December 2017. It is our intention to conduct a continuous offering for an indefinite period of time by conducting additional offerings of our shares of common stock following the conclusion of the Follow-On Offering. As of May 14, 2019, we had received gross offering proceeds of $606.8 million from the sale of 61.0 million shares through our public offerings, including shares issued pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan.

Portfolio Highlights

We intend to meet our primary investment objectives by investing in a portfolio of quality commercial real estate properties and other real estate investments that relate to properties that are generally diversified by geographic area, lease expirations and tenant industries. As of March 31, 2019, we owned ten real estate investments consisting of 6.1 million square feet that were 95% leased. The following chart depicts the percentage of our portfolio’s investment types based on the estimated value of each real estate investment as of March 31, 2019 (“Estimated Values”), which are consistent with the values used to determine our net asset value (“NAV”) per share on that date.

(1)
For acquisitions denominated in a foreign currency, amounts have been translated to U.S. dollars at a rate based on the exchange rate in effect on the acquisition date.

(2)
The estimated going-in capitalization rate is determined as of the date of acquisition by dividing the projected property revenues in excess of expenses for the first fiscal year by the net purchase price (excluding closing costs and taxes). Property revenues in excess of expenses includes all projected operating revenues (rental income, tenant reimbursements, parking and any other property-related income) less all projected operating expenses (property operating and maintenance expenses, property taxes, insurance and property management fees). The projected property revenues in excess of expenses includes assumptions which may not be indicative of the actual future performance of the property, including the assumption that the tenants will perform under their lease agreements during the 12 months following our acquisition of the properties and assumptions concerning estimates of timing and rental rates related to re-leasing vacant space.

NAV and Distributions

We began determining an NAV per share on a monthly basis as of the end of January 2018. Since that time, our NAV per share has increased from $9.69 as of August 31, 2017 to $10.11 as of March 31, 2019 as illustrated in the chart below. Set forth below is additional historical information regarding our NAV per share since February 29, 2016 (the date as of which our board of directors first determined an NAV per share).
distributionandnavcharts001.jpg
1.
Please see our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 15, 2019 for additional information concerning the methodology used to determine, and the limitations of, the NAV per share as of March 31, 2019. Please see our Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the years ended December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 as well as our Current Reports on Form 8-K for additional information concerning the NAV per share determined as of prior dates.
2.
Our board of directors determined an NAV per share of $9.03 as of February 29, 2016. Prior thereto, $8.92 was considered to be the “net investment value” per share of our common stocks, which was equal to the offering price per share of $10.00 in effect at that time, as arbitrarily determined by our board of directors, net of the applicable selling commissions, dealer manager fees and issuer costs.
Set forth below is information regarding our gross annualized distribution rate, excluding any applicable distribution and stockholder servicing fees, since October 1, 2014 (the date our board first authorized distributions to be declared). As illustrated in the chart below, we increased our gross annualized distribution rate from $0.61 per share to $0.625 per share for the three months ended March 31, 2019.
distributionandnavcharts002.jpg
1.
With the authorization of our board of directors, we declared distributions as of daily record dates and paid them on a monthly basis through December 31, 2017. Beginning in January 2018, we began, and intend to continue, to declare distributions as of monthly record dates and pay them on a monthly basis.

2.
We have not generated and we may continue to be unable to generate sufficient cash flows from operations to fully fund distributions. Therefore, some or all of our distributions have been and may continue to be paid, and during the offering phase, are likely to be paid at least partially from other sources, such as proceeds from the sales of assets, proceeds from our debt financings, proceeds from our public offerings, cash advances by our Advisor and/or cash resulting from a waiver or deferral of fees. See “— Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources” for additional information concerning our distributions.
Performance Summary of Share Classes

The table below discloses the total returns for the classes of shares that are no longer available for investment in our current public offering. The total returns shown reflect the percent change in the NAV per share from the beginning of the applicable period, plus the amount of any distribution per share declared during the period. The total returns shown are calculated assuming reinvestment of distributions pursuant to our DRP, are derived from unaudited financial information, and are net of all Hines expenses, including general and administrative expenses, transaction related expenses, management fees, the performance participation allocation, and share class specific fees, but exclude the impact of early redemption deductions on the redemption of shares that have been outstanding for less than one year. The inception dates for the Class AX Shares, Class TX Shares, and Class IX Shares are October 1, 2014, September 1, 2015, and May 1, 2017, respectively. The returns have been prepared using unaudited data and valuations of the underlying investments in our portfolio, which are estimates of fair value and form the basis for our NAV per share. Valuations based upon unaudited reports from the underlying investments may be subject to later adjustments, may not correspond to realized value and may not accurately reflect the price at which assets could be liquidated.

Critical Accounting Policies

Each of our critical accounting policies involve the use of estimates that require management to make assumptions that are subjective in nature. Management relies on its experience, collects historical and current market data, and analyzes these assumptions in order to arrive at what it believes to be reasonable estimates.  In addition, application of these accounting policies involves the exercise of judgment regarding assumptions as to future uncertainties. Actual results could materially differ from these estimates. For a discussion of recent accounting pronouncements, see Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. Also, a disclosure of our critical accounting policies is included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” There have been no significant changes to our policies during 2019.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal demands for funds are to make real estate investments, including capital expenditures, for the payment of operating expenses and distributions, and for the payment of principal and interest on any indebtedness we incur. Generally, we expect to meet operating cash needs from our cash flows from operating activities, and we expect to fund our investments using proceeds from our public offerings, debt proceeds and proceeds from the sales of real estate investments. As described above under the heading “—NAV and Distributions,” we may be required to continue to fund distributions from sources other than cash flows from operations.

We expect that once we have fully invested the proceeds of our public offerings and other potential subsequent offerings, our debt financing, including our pro rata share of the debt financing of entities in which we invest, will be in the range of approximately 40% to 60% of the aggregate value of our real estate investments and other assets. Financing for acquisitions and investments may be obtained at the time an asset is acquired or an investment is made or at such later time as determined to be appropriate. In addition, debt financing may be used from time to time for property improvements, lease inducements, tenant improvements, purchase of real estate-related securities and other working capital needs, including the payment of distributions and redemptions. Our real estate-related securities portfolio may have embedded leverage, including through the use of reverse repurchase agreements and derivatives, including, but not limited to, total return swaps, securities lending arrangements and credit default swaps. Additionally, the amount of debt placed on an individual property or related to a particular investment, including our pro rata share of the amount of debt incurred by an individual entity in which we invest, may be less than 40% or more than 60% of the value of such property/investment or the value of the assets owned by such entity, depending on market conditions and other factors. Our aggregate borrowings, secured and unsecured, must be reasonable in relation to our net assets and must be reviewed by our board of directors at least quarterly. Further, our charter limits our borrowing to 300% of our net assets (which approximates 75% of the cost of our assets) unless any excess borrowing is approved by a majority of our independent directors and is disclosed to our stockholders in our next quarterly report along with justification for the excess. As of March 31, 2019 our portfolio was approximately 52% leveraged, based on the Estimated Values of our real estate investments owned as of that date, with a weighted average interest rate of 2.77%.

Notwithstanding the above, depending on market conditions and other factors, we may choose not to place debt on our portfolio or our assets and may choose not to borrow to finance our operations or to acquire properties. Any indebtedness we do incur will likely be subject to continuing covenants, and we will likely be required to make continuing representations and warranties about our company in connection with such debt. Moreover, some or all of our debt may be secured by some or all of our assets. If we default in the payment of interest or principal on any such debt, breach any representation or warranty in connection with any borrowing or violate any covenant in any loan document, our lender may accelerate the maturity of such debt requiring us to immediately repay all outstanding principal. If we are unable to make such payment, our lender could foreclose on our assets that are pledged as collateral to such lender. The lender could also sue us or force us into bankruptcy. Any such event would have a material adverse effect on the value of an investment in our common shares.

The following discussions provide additional details regarding our cash flows.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Our real estate properties generate cash flows in the form of rental revenues, which are used to pay direct leasing costs, property-level operating expenses and interest payments. Additionally, we incur corporate level costs and fees such as general and administrative expenses, asset management fees, and the performance participation allocation.

Net cash from operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2019 decreased by $10.6 million as compared to the same period in the prior year. This change is primarily due to the payment of the performance participation allocation of

28


$6.0 million accrued as of December 31, 2018 related to the year then ended, which was paid to the Advisor during the three months ended March 31, 2019. This change is also attributable to decreases explained in Results of Operations—Same Store Analysis.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 were primarily due to the following:

Three months ended March 31, 2019
Payment of $45.5 million primarily related to the acquisition of Maintal Logistics. Maintal Logistics was acquired in December 2018, but funding for the acquisition was not required until the debt closed in February 2019.
Capital expenditures of approximately $0.6 million primarily related to development work at Bishop’s Square and various capital improvements at our other properties. With respect to the development work at Bishop’s Square, the Company commenced construction in October 2017 and the project was substantially completed in April 2019.
Payments of $3.0 million to purchase real estate-related securities. We also received proceeds of $3.0 million from the sales of real estate-related securities.

Three months ended March 31, 2018
Capital expenditures of approximately $3.5 million primarily related to development work at Bishop’s Square and various capital improvements at our properties.
We received proceeds of $37.1 million from the sale of 2819 Loker Avenue East, a Class-A industrial property located in Carlsbad, California, on March 30, 2018. We sold 2819 Loker Avenue East for a contract sales price of $38.3 million and we acquired 2819 Loker Avenue East in December 2014 for a net purchase price of $25.4 million.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Public Offerings

We raised gross proceeds of $59.5 million from our public offerings during the three months ended March 31, 2019, excluding proceeds from the distribution reinvestment plan. We commenced our Follow-On Offering in December 2017, and during the three months ended March 31, 2018 had not yet raised any gross proceeds. In addition, during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, we redeemed $3.6 million and $1.3 million in shares of our common stock pursuant to our share redemption program, respectively.

In addition to the investing activities described previously, we have used proceeds from our public offerings to make certain payments to our Advisor, our Dealer Manager and Hines and their affiliates during the various phases of our organization and operation which include, without limitation, payments to our Dealer Manager for selling commissions, dealer manager fees, distribution and stockholder servicing fees and payments to our Advisor for reimbursement of organization and offering costs. During the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, we made payments of $2.0 million and $0.8 million, respectively, for selling commissions, dealer manager fees and distribution and stockholder servicing fees related to our public offerings. The increase in selling commissions, dealer manager fees and distribution and stockholder servicing fees for the three months ended March 31, 2019 as compared to the same period in 2018 is due to the increase of capital raised since our restructuring and related modifications in our Follow-On Offering, which commenced in December 2017.

Until December 31, 2018, the Advisor advanced all of our organization and offering costs, consisting of issuer costs and certain underwriting costs (but excluding selling commissions, dealer manager fees and distribution and stockholder servicing fees) related to our public offerings, which totaled $9.0 million. In January 2019, we began reimbursing the Advisor in ratable amounts over 60 months for all such advanced expenses, as well as any organization and offering costs incurred subsequent to December 31, 2018, to the extent cumulative organization and offering costs paid by the Company do not exceed an amount equal to 2.5% of gross offering proceeds from our public offerings. The total reimbursement related to organization and offering costs, selling commissions, dealer manager fees and distribution and stockholder servicing fees may not exceed 15.0% of gross proceeds from our public offerings. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, we reimbursed the Advisor $1.3 million for organization and offering costs.


29


Distributions

In January 2018, we began and intend to continue to declare distributions as of monthly record dates and pay them on a monthly basis. With the authorization of our board of directors, we declared monthly distributions from January 2019 through April 2019 at a gross distribution rate of $0.05208 per month for each share class less any applicable distribution and stockholder servicing fees. Distributions are made on all classes of the Company’s common stock at the same time. All distributions were paid in cash or reinvested in shares of the Company’s common stock for those stockholders participating in our distribution reinvestment plan and have been or will be paid or issued, respectively, on the first business day following the completion of the month to which they relate. Distributions reinvested pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan were or will be reinvested in shares of the same class as the shares on which the distributions are made. Some or all of the cash distributions may be paid from sources other than cash flows from operations.

Distributions paid to stockholders during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 were $6.4 million and $5.5 million, respectively, including those reinvested in shares pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan. We have not generated and we may continue to be unable to generate sufficient cash flows from operations to fully fund distributions paid. Therefore, some or all of our distributions have been and may continue to be paid and during the offering phase, are likely to be paid at least partially from other sources, such as proceeds from the sales of assets, proceeds from our debt financings, proceeds from our public offerings, cash advances by our Advisor and/or cash resulting from a waiver or deferral of fees. We have not placed a cap on the amount of distributions that may be paid from any of these sources. For example, for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018, we funded 100% and 15% of total distributions with cash flows from other sources such as cash flows from investing activities, which may include proceeds from the sale of real estate and/or cash flows from financing activities, which may include offering proceeds.

The following table outlines our total distributions declared to stockholders for each quarter during 2019 and 2018, including the breakout between the distributions declared in cash and those reinvested pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan (in thousands, except percentages).

Debt Financings

As mentioned above under “—Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources,” our portfolio was approximately 52% leveraged as of March 31, 2019 (based on the Estimated Values). Our total loan principal outstanding had a weighted average interest rate of 2.77% as of March 31, 2019. Below is additional information regarding our loan activity for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018.

Three months ended March 31, 2019
We entered into $26.7 million of permanent mortgage financing related to the acquisition of Maintal Logistics, which was acquired on December 31, 2018. Funding for the acquisition was not required until the loan closed in February 2019.

30


We borrowed $14.0 million under the Hines Credit Facility primarily to provide cash for the acquisition of Maintal Logistics and made payments of $37.5 million on this facility. We had an outstanding balance of $31.5 million under this facility as of March 31, 2019.

Three months ended March 31, 2018
We borrowed $15.5 million under the Hines Credit Facility primarily to provide cash for the Bishop's Square expansion. We had an outstanding balance of $26.7 million under the Hines Credit Facility as of March 31, 2018 which was subsequently repaid in April 2018 using proceeds received from the sale of 2819 Loker Avenue East.

(1)
Property revenues in excess of expenses include total revenues less property operating expenses, real property taxes and property management fees.
(2)
The decrease is primarily due to a decline in revenue resulting from the early move-out of two tenants, as well as various increases in property operating expenses.
(3)
The decrease is primarily due to a decline in revenue, primarily resulting from the free rent period of a tenant’s amended lease. The lease was amended in the fourth quarter of 2018 and the free rent period expired in March 2019.
(4)
The decrease is primarily due to a decline in revenue at Bishop’s Square as a result of vacant space during the three months ended March 31, 2019, resulting from the redevelopment. Construction was substantially completed in April 2019 and the building was 100% leased as of March 31, 2019.

* Not a meaningful percentage
Depreciation and amortization: Depreciation and amortization expense increased for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018 primarily due to real estate investments acquired during the year ended December 31, 2018.
Asset management fees: Asset management fees increased for the three months ended March 31, 2019 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018 primarily due to real estate investments acquired in 2018.
Performance participation allocation: Performance participation allocation decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018 primarily due to changes in our NAV per share between the periods. NAV per share remained relatively unchanged throughout the three months ended March 31, 2019, while a total increase of $0.13 per share was seen during the three months ended March 31, 2018.
Gain on sale of real estate: We sold 2819 Loker Avenue East for a contract sales price of $38.3 million on March 30, 2018 and we acquired 2819 Loker Avenue East in December 2014 for a net purchase price of $25.4 million. We recognized a gain of $14.5 million related to this sale. We had no property dispositions during the three months ended March 31, 2019.
Interest expense: Interest expense increased for the three months ended March 31, 2019 as a result of an increase in our principal outstanding during the period.
Benefit (provision) for income taxes: Provision for income taxes decreased from the three months ended March 31, 2018 to the three months ended March 31, 2019 as a result of changes in our deferred tax assets and liabilities related to book / tax timing differences at our international subsidiaries.

Funds from Operations

We believe funds from operations (“FFO”) is a meaningful supplemental non-GAAP operating metric. FFO is a non-GAAP financial performance measure defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) and is widely recognized by investors and analysts as one measure of operating performance of a real estate company. FFO excludes items such as real estate depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization, as applied in accordance with GAAP, implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time and also assumes that such assets are adequately maintained and renovated as required in order to maintain their value. Since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions such as occupancy rates, rental rates, inflation, interest rates, the business cycle, unemployment and consumer spending, it is management’s view, and we believe the view of many industry investors and analysts, that the presentation of operating results for real estate companies using historical cost accounting alone is insufficient. In addition, FFO excludes gains and losses from the sale of real estate and impairment charges related to depreciable real estate assets and in-substance real estate equity investments, which we believe provides management and investors with a helpful additional measure of the historical performance of our real estate portfolio, as it allows for comparisons, year to year, that reflect the impact on operations from trends in items such as occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, general and administrative expenses and interest costs. A property will be evaluated for impairment if events

32


or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable (i.e. the carrying amount exceeds the total estimated undiscounted future cash flows from the property). Undiscounted future cash flows are based on anticipated operating performance, including estimated future net rental and lease revenues, net proceeds on the sale of the property, and certain other ancillary cash flows. While impairment charges are excluded from the calculation of FFO as described above, stockholders are cautioned that we may not recover any impairment charges.

FFO 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 our operating performance. In addition, FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) or income (loss) from continuing operations as an indication of our performance or as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as an indication of our liquidity, but rather should be reviewed in conjunction with these and other GAAP measurements. Further, FFO is not intended to be used as a liquidity measure indicative of cash flow available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to make distributions to our stockholders. Please see the limitations listed below associated with the use of FFO:

Prior to January 1, 2018, FFO included costs related to our acquisitions, including acquisition fees payable to our Advisor. Although these amounts reduced net income for periods prior to January 1, 2018, we generally funded such costs with proceeds from our public offerings and/or acquisition-related indebtedness and did not consider these fees and expenses in the evaluation of our operating performance. In January 2018, we adopted ASU 2017-01 which clarified the definition of a business and added guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. We expect that most of our real estate transactions completed after that date will be accounted for using the asset acquisition guidance and, accordingly, the related acquisition-related expenses incurred will be capitalized and included in the allocated purchase price and will not be expensed. Prior to ASU 2017-01, real estate acquisitions were generally considered business combinations and the acquisition-related expenses and acquisition fees were treated as operating expenses under GAAP. Additionally, effective as of December 6, 2017, we no longer pay acquisition fees to our Advisor.

We utilize the definition of FFO as set forth by NAREIT. Our FFO may not be comparable to amounts calculated by other REITs, if they use different approaches.

Our business is subject to volatility in the real estate markets and general economic conditions, and adverse changes in those conditions could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations and FFO. Accordingly, the predictive nature of FFO is uncertain and past performance may not be indicative of future results.

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



33


The following section presents our calculation of FFO attributable to common stockholders and provides additional information related to our operations for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 and the period from inception through March 31, 2019 (in thousands, except per share amounts). As we are in the capital raising and acquisition phase of our operations, FFO is not useful in comparing operations for the periods presented below. We expect revenues and expenses to increase in future periods as we raise additional offering proceeds and use them to make additional real estate investments.

Notes to the table:

(1)
Represents the depreciation and amortization of real estate assets.  Historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, we believe that such depreciation and amortization may be of limited relevance in evaluating current operating performance and, as such, these items are excluded from our determination of FFO.

(2)
Includes income attributable to noncontrolling interests and all adjustments to eliminate the noncontrolling interests’ share of the adjustments to convert our net loss to FFO.

Set forth below is additional information, which may be helpful in assessing our operating results:

For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, the Dealer Manager earned distribution and stockholder servicing fees of $0.6 million and $0.5 million, respectively, which are paid by Hines Global. Total distribution and stockholder servicing fees earned by the Dealer Manager from inception through March 31, 2019 were $4.7 million.
As of December 6, 2017, through its ownership of the special limited partner interest in the Operating Partnership, our Advisor is entitled to an annual performance participation allocation of 12.5% of the Operating Partnership’s total return subject to the Company earning a 5% total return annually, after considering the effect of any losses carried forward from the prior year. The performance participation allocation accrues monthly and is payable after the completion of each calendar year. We do not consider the performance participation allocation in evaluating our operating performance. For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, we incurred $1.1 million and $1.6 million in performance participation allocation fees. Total performance participation allocation fees incurred were $7.3 million from inception through March 31, 2019. Refer to “Note 7—Related Party Transactions” for more information on the performance participation allocation.
For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, we recorded non-cash adjustments primarily related to amortization of out-of-market lease intangibles and lease incentives and straight-line rent adjustments, which resulted in a net increase to rental revenue of $2.2 million and $0.5 million respectively.
We recorded non-cash adjustments related to gains/losses on derivative instruments and/or foreign currencies and certain amounts related to deferred taxes, which reduced net income by approximately $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. Such amounts were insignificant in prior periods.

As noted previously, our cash flows from operations have been and may continue to be insufficient to fund distributions to stockholders. We may continue to choose to use proceeds from the sales of assets, proceeds from our debt financings, proceeds from our public offerings, cash advances by our Advisor and/or cash resulting from a waiver or deferral of fees to fund distributions to our stockholders. For example, we funded 100% and 15% of total distributions for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, with cash flows from other sources, such as cash flows from investing activities, which may include proceeds from the sale of real estate and/or cash flows from financing activities, which may include offering proceeds. We have not placed a cap on the amount of our distributions that may be paid from sources other than cash flows

34


from operations, including proceeds from our debt financings, proceeds from our public offerings, cash advances by our Advisor and cash resulting from a waiver or deferral of fees.
From inception through March 31, 2019, we declared $62.2 million of distributions to our stockholders, compared to our total aggregate FFO of $36.4 million and our total aggregate net loss of $40.4 million for that period. We incurred acquisition fees and expenses of $23.3 million from inception through December 31, 2017 in connection with our real estate investments, which were recorded as reductions to net income (loss) and FFO. We adopted ASU 2017-01 on January 1, 2018, which allows us to capitalize acquisition-related costs and fees instead of treating them as operating expenses under GAAP. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, we declared $6.7 million of distributions to our stockholders compared to our total aggregate FFO of $5.3 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2018, we declared $5.5 million of distributions to our stockholders compared to our total aggregate FFO of $4.2 million.

Related Party Transactions and Agreements

We have entered into agreements with our Advisor, our Dealer Manager and Hines and its affiliates, whereby we pay certain fees and reimbursements to these entities during the various phases of our organization and operation. During the organization and offering stage, these include payments to our Dealer Manager for selling commissions, the dealer manager fee, distribution and stockholder servicing fees, and payments to our Advisor for reimbursement of organization and offering costs. During the acquisition and operational stages, these include payments for certain services related to the management and performance of our investments and operations provided to us by our Advisor and Hines and its affiliates pursuant to various agreements we have entered into with these entities. See Note 7 — Related Party Transactions in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as Note 8 — Related Party Transactions in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 for additional information concerning our related party transactions and agreements.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Subsequent Events

Lodz Urban Logistics

In April 2019, the Company entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement to purchase Lodz Urban Logistics, an industrial logistics property located in Lodz, Poland. The net contract sales price for Lodz Urban Logistics is expected to be approximately €22.7 million (approximately $25.4 million assuming a rate of $1.12 per Euro as of the contract date), exclusive of transaction costs and closing prorations. The Company expects to fund the acquisition using proceeds from its public offerings, a mortgage secured by the property from a third-party and its credit facility with Hines. The Company expects the closing of this acquisition to occur in June 2019, subject to a number of closing conditions. However, the Company can provide no assurance that this acquisition will close on the expected timeline or at all.

ABC Westland

In May 2019, we acquired ABC Westland, an industrial property located in the Hague, the Netherlands. ABC Westland consists of 1,267,278 square feet of net rentable area and is, in the aggregate, 97.5% leased to 46 tenants. The purchase price for ABC Westland was €116.5 million (approximately $130.5 million assuming a rate of $1.12 per EUR on the date of the transaction), exclusive of transaction costs and working capital reserves. In connection with the acquisition of the property, we entered into a third-party mortgage loan for the principal sum of approximately €75.0 million (approximately $84.0 million assuming a rate of $1.12 per EUR on the date of the transaction). The mortgage loan has a floating interest rate of Euribor + .015 per annum. Repayment of principal is due in quarterly installments on each interest payment date, with the final payment being due on the last interest payment date of February 15, 2024.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market risk includes risks that arise from changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, equity prices and other market changes that affect market-sensitive instruments. In pursuing our business plan, we believe that interest rate risk and currency risk are the primary market risks to which we are exposed. As of March 31, 2019, we were exposed to the following market risks.

Interest Rate Risk

We are exposed to the effects of interest rate changes primarily as a result of debt used to maintain liquidity and fund expansion of our real estate investment portfolio and operations. As of March 31, 2019, we had $376.0 million of variable-rate debt outstanding. If interest rates were to increase by 1% and everything else remained the same, we would incur an additional $3.8 million in interest expense annually. Additionally, we have entered into interest rate cap agreements to limit our exposure to rising interest rates related to our mortgage loans secured by our investment properties. See Note 4 — Debt Financing in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information concerning our outstanding debt.

Foreign Currency Risk

We currently have real estate investments located in countries outside of the U.S. that are subject to the effects of exchange rate movements between the foreign currency of each real estate investment and the U.S. dollar, which may affect future costs and cash flows as well as amounts translated into U.S. dollars for inclusion in our consolidated financial statements. We have entered into mortgage loans denominated in foreign currencies for these investments, which provide natural hedges with regard to changes in exchange rates between the foreign currencies and U.S. dollar and reduce our exposure to exchange rate differences. Additionally, we are typically a net receiver of these foreign currencies, and, as a result, our foreign operations benefit from a weaker U.S. dollar and are adversely affected by a stronger U.S. dollar. The table below identifies the effect that a 10% immediate, unfavorable change in the exchange rates would have on the net book value of our international real estate investments, including any foreign currency mortgage loans and their year-to-date net income (loss), by foreign currency (in thousands):

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

In accordance with Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2019, to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Change in Internal Controls

No changes have occurred in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended March 31, 2019 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

From time to time in the ordinary course of business, we or our subsidiaries may become subject to legal proceedings, claims or disputes. As of May 14, 2019, neither we nor any of our subsidiaries were a party to any material pending legal proceedings.

Item 1A.  Risk Factors

As of March 31, 2019, there have been no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in response to “Part I - Item 1A. ‘Risk Factors’” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, filed with the SEC on March 29, 2019.

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

During the three months ended March 31, 2019, we did not sell or issue any equity securities that were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Issuer Redemptions of Equity Securities
    
Our share redemption program may allow stockholders who have purchased shares from us or received their shares through a non-cash transaction, not in the secondary market, to have their shares redeemed subject to certain limitations and restrictions. Redemptions under our share redemption program will be made on a monthly basis. Subject to the limitations of and restrictions on our share redemption program, and subject to funds being available as described below, shares redeemed under our share redemption program will be redeemed at the transaction price in effect on the date of redemption, which generally will be a price equal to the NAV per share applicable to the class of shares being redeemed and most recently disclosed by us in a public filing with the SEC (subject to the 5% holding discount described below).
Under our share redemption program, we may redeem during any calendar month shares whose aggregate value (based on the redemption price per share in effect when the redemption is effected) is 2% of our aggregate NAV as of the last calendar day of the previous month (the “2% Monthly Limitation”) and during any calendar quarter whose aggregate value (based on the redemption price per share in effect when the redemption is effected) is up to 5% of our aggregate NAV as of the last calendar day of the prior calendar quarter (the “5% Quarterly Limitation”). During a given quarter, if in each of the first two months of such quarter the 2% Monthly Limitation is reached and stockholders’ redemptions are reduced pro rata for such months, then in the third and final month of that quarter, the applicable limit for such month will likely be less than 2% of our aggregate NAV as of the last calendar day of the previous month because the redemptions for that month, combined with the redemptions in the previous two months, cannot exceed the 5% Quarterly Limitation.
There is no minimum holding period for shares under our share redemption program and stockholders may request that we redeem their shares at any time. However, shares that have not been outstanding for at least one year will be redeemed at 95% of the transaction price (the “5% holding discount”) that would otherwise apply; provided, that, the period that a share was held prior to being converted into a share of another class pursuant to our charter will count toward the total hold period for such share, as converted. Upon request, we may waive the 5% holding discount in the case of death or disability of a stockholder. The 5% holding discount also will be waived with respect to shares issued pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan and any shares that we issue as stock dividends.
Unless our board of directors determines otherwise, we intend to fund redemptions pursuant to our share redemption program from any available cash sources at our disposal, including available cash, cash flow from operations, the sale of real estate-related securities and other assets, borrowings or offering proceeds, without any limitation on the amounts we may pay from such sources. If during any consecutive 24-month period, we do not have at least one month in which we fully satisfy 100% of properly submitted redemption requests or accept all properly submitted tenders in a self-tender offer for our shares, we will not make any new investments (excluding short-term cash management investments under 30 days in duration) and we will use all available investable assets to satisfy redemption requests (subject to the limitations under this program) until all outstanding redemption requests, or “Unfulfilled Redemptions,” have been satisfied. For purposes of this policy, investable assets include net proceeds from new subscription agreements, unrestricted cash, working capital, proceeds from marketable securities, proceeds from our distribution reinvestment plan, and net operating cash flows. Notwithstanding this policy, investable assets may be used at any time to fund any of our operating cash needs (as well as to establish reserves to meet such needs), including, without limitation, the following: property operating expenses, taxes and insurance, debt service and repayment or refinancing of debt, debt financing expenses, funding commitments related to real estate, including without limitation, commitments to acquire new real estate investments

37


(provided such commitments were made at least twelve (12) months prior to the end of such 24-consecutive-month period), obligations imposed by law, courts, or arbitration, necessary capital improvements, lease-related expenditures, customary general and administrative expenses, asset management fees and other fees payable to our Advisor as described in the prospectus, or shareholder distributions. Our Advisor also will defer payment of the performance participation allocation until all Unfulfilled Redemptions are satisfied. Furthermore, our board of directors and management will consider additional ways to improve shareholder liquidity through our share redemption program or otherwise. Exceptions to the limitations of this paragraph may be made to complete like-kind exchanges under Section 1031 of the Code necessary to avoid adverse tax consequences, or to take actions necessary to maintain our qualification as a REIT under the Code.
Our board of directors has complete discretion to determine whether all available cash sources at our disposal will be applied to redemptions pursuant to the program, whether such funds are needed for other purposes or whether additional funds from other sources may be used for redemptions pursuant to the program.
If redemption requests, in the business judgment of our board of directors, place an undue burden on our liquidity, adversely affect our operations or risk having an adverse impact on stockholders whose shares are not redeemed, then our board of directors may terminate, suspend or amend the share redemption program at any time without stockholder approval, if it deems such action to be in the best interest of our stockholders. Further, our share redemption program will be terminated in the event that our shares ever become listed on a national securities exchange or in the event a secondary market for our common shares develops. In addition, our board of directors may determine to suspend the share redemption program due to regulatory changes, changes in law or if our board of directors becomes aware of undisclosed material information that it believes should be publicly disclosed before shares are redeemed. Material modifications, including any reduction to the monthly or quarterly limitations on redemptions, and suspensions of the program will be promptly disclosed to stockholders in a prospectus supplement (or post-effective amendment if required by the Securities Act) or current report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC. Any material modifications will also be disclosed on our website.
Any new transaction price may be higher or lower than the most recently disclosed transaction price. The transaction price is not a representation, warranty or guarantee that (i) a stockholder would be able to realize such per share amount if such stockholder attempts to sell his or her shares; (ii) a stockholder would ultimately realize distributions per share equal to such per share amount upon our liquidation or sale; (iii) shares of our common stock would trade at such per share amount on a national securities exchange; or (iv) a third party would offer such per share amount in an arm’s-length transaction to purchase all or substantially all of our shares of common stock.

The following table lists shares we redeemed under our share redemption program during the period covered by this report, including the average price paid per share, which represents all of the share repurchase requests received for the same period.
