Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

1. Organization and Business Purpose

Blackstone Real Estate Income Trust, Inc. (“BREIT” or the “Company”) invests primarily in stabilized income-oriented commercial real estate in the United States and, to a lesser extent, in real estate debt. The Company is the sole general partner of BREIT Operating Partnership, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“BREIT OP”). BREIT Special Limited Partner L.P. (the “Special Limited Partner”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Blackstone Group Inc. (together with its affiliates, “Blackstone”), owns a special limited partner interest in BREIT OP. Substantially all of the Company’s business is conducted through BREIT OP. The Company and BREIT OP are externally managed by BX REIT Advisors L.L.C. (the “Adviser”). The Adviser is part of the real estate group of Blackstone, a leading global investment manager, which serves as the Company’s sponsor. The Company was formed on November 16, 2015 as a Maryland corporation and qualifies as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

As of March 31, 2021, the Company had received aggregate net proceeds of $24.2 billion from selling shares of the Company’s common stock through both the Offering, as defined below, and in unregistered sales. The Company had previously registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) two offerings for an aggregate of up to $17.0 billion in shares of common stock (the “Previous Offerings”) and accepted gross offering proceeds of $16.3 billion during the period January 1, 2017 to February 1, 2021.The Company subsequently registered with the SEC a follow-on offering of up to $24.0 billion in shares of common stock, consisting of up to $20.0 billion in shares in its primary offering and up to $4.0 billion in shares pursuant to its distribution reinvestment plan, which the Company began using to offer shares of its common stock in February 2021 (the “Current Offering” and with the Previous Offerings, the “Offering”). The Company intends to sell any combination of four classes of shares of its common stock, with a dollar value up to the maximum aggregate amount of the Current Offering. The share classes have different upfront selling commissions, dealer manager fees and ongoing stockholder servicing fees. The Company intends to continue selling shares on a monthly basis.

As of March 31, 2021, the Company owned 1,429 properties and had 260 real estate debt investment positions. The Company currently operates in eight reportable segments: Multifamily, Industrial, Net Lease, Hospitality, Self Storage, Retail, and Office properties, and Investments in Real Estate Debt. Multifamily includes various forms of rental housing including apartments, student housing and manufactured housing. Net Lease includes the real estate assets of The Bellagio Las Vegas (“Bellagio”) and the unconsolidated interest in the MGM Grand and Mandalay Bay joint venture. Any additional unconsolidated interests are included in the respective property segment as further described in Note 4 – Investments in Unconsolidated Entities. Financial results by segment are reported in Note 15 — Segment Reporting.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. The condensed consolidated financial statements, including the condensed notes thereto, are unaudited and exclude some of the disclosures required in audited financial statements. Management believes it has made all necessary adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring items, so that the condensed consolidated financial statements are presented fairly and that estimates made in preparing its condensed consolidated financial statements are reasonable and prudent. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 filed with the SEC.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, the Company’s subsidiaries and joint ventures in which the Company has a controlling interest. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The Company reclassified dead deal costs, which primarily consisted of a forfeited investment deposit, during the three months ended March 31, 2020, from General and Administrative Expenses to Other Income (Expense) on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.  Such reclassification had no effect on Total Revenues or Net Loss on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations or classification in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Principles of Consolidation

The Company consolidates all entities in which it has a controlling financial interest through majority ownership or voting rights and variable interest entities whereby the Company is the primary beneficiary. In determining whether the Company has a controlling financial interest in a partially owned entity and the requirement to consolidate the accounts of that entity, the Company considers whether the entity is a variable interest entity (“VIE”) and whether it is the primary beneficiary. The Company is the primary beneficiary of a VIE when it has (i) the power to direct the most significant activities impacting the economic performance of the VIE and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits significant to the VIE. Entities that do not qualify as VIEs are generally considered voting interest entities (“VOEs”) and are evaluated for consolidation under the voting interest model. VOEs are consolidated when the Company controls the entity through a majority voting interest or other means. When the requirements for consolidation are not met and the Company has significant influence over the operations of the entity, the investment is accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Equity method investments for which the Company has not elected a fair value option are initially recorded at cost and subsequently adjusted for the Company’s pro-rata share of net income, contributions and distributions. When the Company elects the fair value option (“FVO”), the Company records its share of net asset value and any unrealized gains and losses.

BREIT OP and each of the Company’s joint ventures are considered to be either a VIE or VOE. The Company consolidates these entities, excluding its equity method investments, because it has the ability to direct the most significant activities of the entities such as purchases, dispositions, financings, budgets, and overall operating plans.

For consolidated joint ventures, the non-controlling partner’s share of the assets, liabilities and operations of the joint ventures is included in non-controlling interests as equity of the Company. The non-controlling partner’s interest is generally computed as the joint venture partner’s ownership percentage. Certain of the joint ventures formed by the Company provide the other partner a profits interest based on certain internal rate of return hurdles being achieved. Any profits interest due to the other partner is reported within non-controlling interests.

As of March 31, 2021, the total assets and liabilities of the Company’s consolidated VIEs, excluding BREIT OP, were $11.4 billion and $7.9 billion, respectively, compared to $11.5 billion and $8.0 billion as of December 31, 2020. Such amounts are included on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Certain of the Company’s joint ventures are accounted for under the equity method of accounting as the requirements for consolidation are not met. As of March 31, 2021, the Company did not consolidate three of its joint ventures and accounted for these under the equity method of accounting. The Company has elected the FVO for two of its equity method investments while the third is presented at historical cost. Refer to Note 4 for additional details on the Company’s investments in unconsolidated entities.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet. As of March 31, 2021, the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic is ongoing. During 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic created disruption in the U.S. and global economies. In 2021, the global economy has, with certain setbacks, begun reopening and wider distribution of vaccines will likely encourage greater economic activity. Nonetheless, the recovery could remain uneven, particularly given uncertainty with respect to the distribution and acceptance of the vaccines and their effectiveness with respect to new variants of the virus.The Company believes the estimates and assumptions underlying its condensed consolidated financial statements are reasonable and supportable based on the information available as of March 31, 2021. However, uncertainty over the ultimate impact COVID-19 will have on the global economy generally, and the Company’s business in particular, makes any estimates and assumptions as of March 31, 2021 inherently less certain than they would be absent the current and potential impacts of COVID-19. Actual results may ultimately differ from those estimates.

Fair Value Measurements

Under normal market conditions, the fair value of an investment is the amount that would be received to sell an asset or transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (i.e., the exit price). Additionally, there is a hierarchal framework that prioritizes and ranks the level of market price observability used in measuring investments at fair value. Market price observability is impacted by a number of factors, including the type of investment and the characteristics specific to the investment and the state of the marketplace, including the existence and transparency of transactions between market participants. Investments with readily available actively quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices generally will have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment used in measuring fair value.

7

Investments measured and reported at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following levels within the fair value hierarchy:

Level 1 — quoted prices are available in active markets for identical investments as of the measurement date. The Company does not adjust the quoted price for these investments.

Level 2 — quoted prices are available in markets that are not active or model inputs are based on inputs that are either directly or indirectly observable as of the measurement date.

Level 3 — pricing inputs are unobservable and include instances where there is minimal, if any, market activity for the investment. These inputs require significant judgment or estimation by management or third parties when determining fair value and generally represent anything that does not meet the criteria of Levels 1 and 2. Due to the inherent uncertainty of these estimates, these values may differ materially from the values that would have been used had a ready market for these investments existed.

Valuation of assets and liabilities measured at fair value

The Company’s investments in real estate debt are reported at fair value. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company’s investments in real estate debt consisted of commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”) and residential mortgage-backed securities (“RMBS”), which are mortgage-related securities, as well as corporate bonds, term loans, and mezzanine loans of real estate-related companies. The Company generally determines the fair value of its investments in real estate debt by utilizing third-party pricing service providers and broker-dealer quotations whenever available.  

In determining the fair value of a particular investment, pricing service providers may use broker-dealer quotations, reported trades or valuation estimates from their internal pricing models to determine the reported price. The pricing service providers’ internal models for securities such as real estate debt generally consider the attributes applicable to a particular class of the security (e.g., credit rating, seniority), current market data, and estimated cash flows for each class, and incorporate specific collateral performance, as applicable.

Certain of the Company’s investments in real estate debt, such as mezzanine loans, are unlikely to have readily available market quotations. In such cases, the Company will generally determine the initial value based on the acquisition price of such investment if acquired by the Company or the par value of such investment if originated by the Company. Following the initial measurement, the Company will determine fair value by utilizing or reviewing certain of the following (i) market yield data, (ii) discounted cash flow modeling, (iii) collateral asset performance, (iv) local or macro real estate performance, (v) capital market conditions, (vi) debt yield or loan-to-value ratios and (vii) borrower financial condition and performance.

The Company’s investments in equity securities of public and private real estate-related companies are reported at fair value. As such, the resulting unrealized gains and losses are recorded as a component of Other Income (Expense) on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. During the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company recognized $82.3 million of unrealized gains and $37.1 million of unrealized losses, respectively, on its investments in equity securities. In determining the fair value of public equity securities, the Company utilizes the closing price of such securities in the principal market in which the security trades (Level 1 inputs). The Company’s investment in a preferred equity security is reflected at its fair value as of March 31, 2021 (Level 2 inputs). In determining the fair value, the Company utilizes inputs such as stock volatility, discount rate, and risk-free interest rate. During February 2021, the Company made an investment in a private real estate company, which is reflected at its initial investment as of March 31, 2021 (Level 2 inputs). The Company believes that the transaction price provides the most observable indication of fair value as of March 31, 2021 given the timing of the investment and lack of significant changes in market conditions. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company’s $1.0 billion and $0.6 billion of equity securities, respectively, were recorded as a component of Other Assets on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company has elected the FVO for two of its equity method investments and therefore, reports these investments at fair value. As such, the resulting unrealized gains and losses are recorded as a component of Income From Unconsolidated Entities on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company separately values the assets and liabilities of the equity method investments. To determine the fair value of the assets of the equity method investments, the Company utilizes a discounted cash flow methodology, taking into consideration various factors including discount rate and exit capitalization rate. The Company determines the fair value of the indebtedness of the equity method investment by modeling the cash flows required by the debt agreements and discounting them back to the present value using the appropriate weighted average cost of capital. Additionally, the Company considers current market rates and conditions by evaluating similar borrowing agreements with comparable loan-to-value ratios and credit profiles. After the fair value of the assets and liabilities are determined, the Company applies its ownership interest to the net asset value and reflects this amount as its equity method investment at fair value. The inputs used in determining the Company’s equity method investments carried at fair value are considered Level 3.

8

The Company’s derivative financial instruments are reported at fair value. As of March 31, 2021 and December 30, 2020, the Company’s derivative financial instruments consisted of foreign currency and interest rate contracts. The fair values of the Company’s foreign currency and interest rate contracts were estimated using advice from a third-party derivative specialist, based on contractual cash flows and observable inputs comprising yield curves, foreign currency rates and credit spreads (Level 2 inputs).

The following table details the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis ($ in thousands):

⁽¹⁾ During March 2021, the Company made an investment in a mezzanine loan, which is reflected at its initial investment as of March 31, 2021. The Company did not utilize any quantitative inputs and assumptions in valuing this investment as the Company believes that the transaction price provides the most observable indication of fair value given the timing of the investment and lack of significant changes in market conditions.

Valuation of liabilities not measured at fair value

As of March 31, 2021, the fair value of the Company’s mortgage notes, term loans, and secured revolving credit facilities, secured financings on investments in real estate debt, and unsecured revolving credit facilities was $33.0 million above carrying value. As of December 31, 2020, the fair value of the Company’s mortgage notes, term loans, and secured revolving credit facilities, secured financings on investments in real estate debt, and unsecured revolving credit facilities was $48.6 million above carrying value. Fair value of the Company’s indebtedness is estimated by modeling the cash flows required by the Company’s debt agreements and discounting them back to the present value using an appropriate discount rate. Additionally, the Company considers current market rates and conditions by evaluating similar borrowing agreements with comparable loan-to-value ratios and credit profiles. The inputs used in determining the fair value of the Company’s indebtedness are considered Level 3.

Derivative Financial Instruments

As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, all of the Company’s derivative instruments were non-designated hedges. The Company presents changes in the fair value of its non-designated hedges as a component of Income (loss) from Investments in Real Estate Debt or Other Income (Expense) on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations depending on the nature of the derivative instrument.

The Company has elected to not offset derivative assets and liabilities or financial assets in its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, including cash, that may be received or paid as part of collateral arrangements, even when an enforceable master netting agreement is in place that provide the Company, in the event of counterparty default, the right to liquidate collateral and the right to offset a counterparty’s rights and obligations. Derivative financial instruments are recorded as a component of either Other Assets or Other Liabilities on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company’s stock-based compensation consists of incentive compensation awards issued to certain employees of affiliate portfolio company service providers and certain employees of Simply Self Storage, a wholly owned subsidiary of BREIT. Such awards vest over the life of the awards and stock-based compensation expense is recognized for these awards in net income on a straight-line basis over the applicable vesting period of the award, based on the value of the awards at grant, as adjusted for forfeitures. Refer to Note 9 for additional information on the awards issued to certain employees of the affiliate portfolio companies.

On January 1, 2021, the Company issued awards to certain employees of Simply Self Storage which had a grant date fair value of $3.6 million. The Simply Self Storage awards are subject to certain performance conditions and a four-year service period. As such, if the Company determines it is probable that the performance conditions will be met, the value of the award will be amortized over the four-year service period, as adjusted for forfeitures. As of March 31, 2021, the Company determined it was probable that the performance conditions will be met. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company recorded $0.2 million of compensation expense related to such awards, which was included as a component of Rental Property Operating in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of March 31, 2021, the total unrecognized compensation cost relating to the Simply Self Storage awards was $3.4 million and is expected to be recognized over a period of 3.8 years from March 31, 2021.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) staff issued a question and answer document (the “Lease Modification Q&A”) focused on the application of lease accounting guidance to lease concessions provided as a result of the COVID- 19 pandemic. In accordance with the Lease Modification Q&A, the Company has made a policy election to not account for concessions as a lease modification if the total cash flows after the lease concessions are substantially the same, or less than, the cash flows in the original lease. However, if in the future, a concession is granted that modifies the terms and significantly alters the cash flows of the original lease, the Company will account for the changes as a lease modification. The Company has granted concessions as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic to certain tenants to defer rental payments until a later date. The Company continued to recognize rental revenue for such tenants during the three months ended March 31, 2021, while also considering any necessary bad debt reserves. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company has granted $4.3 million of rental deferral requests. It is expected that the deferred rent will generally be paid back over a period of three to 12 months. However, it is possible that tenants may not be able to meet their deferred rent obligations.

In March 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-04 “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting.” ASU 2020-04 provides optional expedients and exceptions to GAAP requirements for modifications on debt instruments, leases, derivatives, and other contracts, related to the expected market transition from LIBOR, and certain other floating rate benchmark indices (collectively, “IBORs”) to alternative reference rates. ASU 2020-04 generally considers contract modifications related to reference rate reform to be an event that does not require contract

10

remeasurement at the modification date nor a reassessment of a previous accounting determination. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01 “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope,” or ASU 2021-01. ASU 2021-01 clarifies that the practical expedients in ASU 2020-04 apply to derivatives impacted by changes in the interest rate used for margining, discounting, or contract price alignment. The guidance in ASU 2020-04 is optional and may be elected over time, through December 31, 2022, as reference rate reform activities occur. Once ASU 2020-04 is elected, the guidance must be applied prospectively for all eligible contract modifications. The Company has not adopted any of the optional expedients or exceptions as of March 31, 2021, but will continue to evaluate the possible adoption of any such expedients or exceptions during the effective period as circumstances evolve.

7. Secured Financings on Investments in Real Estate Debt

The Company has entered into master repurchase agreements with lenders to provide the Company with additional financing capacity secured by certain of the Company’s investments in real estate debt.

Thereafter, the Special Limited Partner will receive an allocation of 12.5% of the annual total return.

12. Derivatives

The Company uses derivative financial instruments to minimize the risks and/or costs associated with the Company’s investments and/or financing transactions. The Company has not designated any of its derivative financial instruments as hedges as defined within ASC 815 – “Derivatives and Hedging”. Derivatives not designated as hedges are not speculative and are used to manage the Company’s exposure to interest rate movements, fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and other identified risks.

The use of derivative financial instruments involves certain risks, including the risk that the counterparties to these contractual arrangements do not perform as agreed. To mitigate this risk, the Company enters into derivative financial instruments with counterparties it believes to have appropriate credit ratings and are major financial institutions with which the Company and its affiliates may also have other financial relationships.

Interest Rate Contracts

Certain of the Company’s transactions expose the Company to interest rate risks, which include exposure to variable interest rates on its secured financings on investments in real estate debt in addition to certain loans secured by the Company’s properties. The Company uses derivative financial instruments, which includes interest rate swaps, and may also include interest rate caps, options, floors, and other interest rate derivative contracts, to limit the Company’s exposure against the variability of future interest rates.

Foreign Currency Contracts

Certain of the Company’s international investments expose it to fluctuations in foreign interest rates and currency exchange rates. These fluctuations may impact the value of the Company’s cash receipts and payments in terms of its functional currency, the U.S. dollar. The Company uses foreign currency forward contracts to protect the value or fix the amount of certain investments or cash flows in terms of the U.S. dollar.

Distributions

The Company generally intends to distribute substantially all of its taxable income, which does not necessarily equal net income as calculated in accordance with GAAP, to its stockholders each year to comply with the REIT provisions of the Internal Revenue Code.

22

Each class of common stock receives the same gross distribution per share. The net distribution varies for each class based on the applicable stockholder servicing fee, which is deducted from the monthly distribution per share and paid directly to the applicable distributor.

Redeemable Non-controlling Interest

In connection with its performance participation interest, the Special Limited Partner holds Class I units in BREIT OP. See Note 9 for further details of the Special Limited Partner’s performance participation interest. Because the Special Limited Partner has the ability to redeem its Class I units for Class I shares in the Company or cash, at the election of the Special Limited Partner, the Company has classified these Class I units as Redeemable Non-controlling Interest in mezzanine equity on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The following table details the redeemable non-controlling interest activity related to the Special Limited Partner for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 ($ in thousands):

In addition to the Special Limited Partner’s interest noted above, certain of the Company’s third party joint ventures also have a redeemable non-controlling interest in such joint ventures. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, $31.9 million and $29.8 million, respectively, related to such third party joint ventures was included in Redeemable Non-controlling Interests on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Redeemable Non-controlling Interests are recorded at the greater of their carrying amount, adjusted for their share of the allocation of income or loss and distributions, or their redemption value, which is equivalent to fair value, of such interests at the end of each measurement period. Accordingly, the Company recorded an allocation adjustment of $2.8 million and $0.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020, respectively, between Additional Paid-in Capital and Redeemable Non-controlling Interest.

The Company’s rental revenue primarily consists of rent earned from operating leases at the Company’s multifamily, industrial, net lease, self storage, retail, and office properties. Leases at the Company’s industrial, retail, and office properties generally include a fixed base rent and certain leases also contain a variable component. The variable component of the Company’s operating leases at its industrial, retail, and office properties primarily consist of the reimbursement of operating expenses such as real estate taxes, insurance, and common area maintenance costs. Rental revenue earned from leases at the Company’s multifamily properties primarily consist of a fixed base rent and certain leases contain a variable component that allows for the pass-through of certain operating expenses such as utilities. Rental revenue earned from leases at the Company’s self storage properties primarily consist of a fixed base rent.

Rental revenue from the Company’s lease at the Bellagio consists of a fixed annual rent that escalates annually throughout the term of the lease and the tenant is generally responsible for all property-related expenses, including taxes, insurance and maintenance. The Company assessed the classification of the Bellagio lease and determined the lease was an operating lease. The Company’s assessment included the consideration of the present value of the lease payments over the lease term and the residual value of the assets under the lease.  

24

Leases at the Company’s industrial, retail, office, and net lease properties are generally longer term and may contain extension and termination options at the lessee’s election. Leases at the Company’s multifamily and self storage properties are short term in nature, generally not greater than 12 months in length.

Overview

BREIT invests primarily in stabilized income-generating commercial real estate in the United States and, to a lesser extent, in real estate debt. We are the sole general partner of BREIT Operating Partnership L.P. (“BREIT OP”), a Delaware limited partnership, and we own substantially all of our assets through BREIT OP. We are externally managed by BX REIT Advisors L.L.C. (the “Adviser”). The Adviser is part of the real estate group of The Blackstone Group Inc. (“Blackstone”), a leading investment manager, which serves as our sponsor. We currently operate our business in eight reportable segments: Multifamily, Industrial, Net Lease, Hospitality, Self Storage, Retail, and Office Properties, and Investments in Real Estate Debt.Multifamily includes various forms of rental housing including apartments, student housing and manufactured housing. Net Lease includes the real estate assets of The Bellagio Las Vegas (“Bellagio”) and the unconsolidated interest in the MGM Grand and Mandalay Bay joint venture. Additional unconsolidated interests are included in the respective property segment.

BREIT is a non-listed, perpetual life real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that qualifies as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) for U.S. federal income tax. We generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income taxes on our taxable income to the extent we annually distribute all of our net taxable income to stockholders and maintain our qualification as a REIT.

As of May 13, 2021, we have received net proceeds of $27.7 billion from the sale of shares of our common stock. We have contributed the net proceeds to BREIT OP in exchange for a corresponding number of Class S, Class I, Class T, and Class D units. BREIT OP has primarily used the net proceeds to make investments in real estate and real estate debt as further described below under “Portfolio”. We intend to continue selling shares on a monthly basis.

Recent Developments

As of March 31, 2021, the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic is ongoing. During 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic created disruption in the U.S. and global economies. In 2021, the global economy has, with certain setbacks, begun reopening and wider distribution of vaccines will likely encourage greater economic activity. Nonetheless, the recovery could remain uneven, particularly given uncertainty with respect to the distribution and acceptance of the vaccines and their effectiveness with respect to new variants of the virus.

The outbreak of COVID-19 and its impact on the current financial, economic and capital markets environment, and future developments in these and other areas present uncertainty and risk with respect to our financial condition and results of operations. Countries around the world continue to grapple with the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Although a recovery is

28

partially underway, it continues to be gradual, uneven and characterized by meaningful dispersion across sectors and regions, and could be hindered by persistent or resurgent infection rates. The most recent round of U.S. fiscal stimulus could provide meaningful support, along with continued accommodative monetary policy and wider distribution of vaccines. Issues with respect to the distribution and acceptance of vaccines or the spread of new variants of the virus could adversely impact the recovery. Overall, there remains significant uncertainty regarding the timing and duration of the economic recovery, which precludes any prediction as to the ultimate adverse impact of COVID-19 on economic and market conditions. For additional discussion with respect to the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our liquidity and capital resources, see “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below.

Impact of COVID-19 - Results of Operations

Rent collections at our real estate assets continue to be impacted by COVID-19. Rent collections for revenue recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2021 from real estate properties, excluding hospitality and self storage properties, were an average of 1.0% lower compared to a typical pre-COVID quarter. Based on rent collections and other factors, we reserved $14.3 million for bad debt expense for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Certain of our tenants impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic have requested rental assistance. As a result, we have granted $4.3 million of rent deferral, representing 0.7% of total rental revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2021. It is expected that the deferred rent will generally be paid back over a period of three to twelve months. However, it is possible that tenants may not be able to meet their deferred rent obligations.

Our hospitality segment also continues to be impacted by COVID-19 with decreases in occupancy, ADR and RevPAR. However, we continue to see a steady rise in monthly occupancy as the economy continues to reopen, vaccines are distributed, and travel restrictions have eased. See “Results of Operations – Same Property Results of Operations”.

For additional discussion with respect to the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on liquidity and capital resources see “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below.

Please refer to Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 and our prospectus dated February 12, 2021 and filed with the SEC, as supplemented, for additional disclosure relating to material trends or uncertainties that may impact our business.

⁽¹⁾ The annualized distribution rate is calculated as the current month’s distribution annualized and divided by the prior month’s net asset value, which is inclusive of all fees and expenses. Management believes the annualized distribution rate is a useful measure of the overall investment performance of our shares.

⁽²⁾  Total return is calculated as the change in NAV per share during the respective periods plus any distributions per share declared in the period and assumes any distributions are reinvested in accordance with our distribution reinvestment plan.
