Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Segments

22. Segments

Our reportable segments are separated based on the regions in which we conduct our business. Prior to January 1, 2020, our reportable segments consisted of New York, San Francisco and Washington, D.C. Upon entering into an agreement to sell 1899 Pennsylvania Avenue, our sole remaining property in the Washington, D.C. segment, we redefined our reportable segments into the two remaining regions in which we conduct our business: New York and San Francisco effective January 1, 2020. 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. In connection therewith, we have reclassified the Washington, D.C. segment financial data into Other segment and reclassified prior period segment financial data to conform to current period presentation.

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

⁽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.

The following table provides a reconciliation of NOI to net (loss) income attributable to common stockholders for the periods set forth below.
