Organization

JBG SMITH Properties (“JBG SMITH”) (NYSE: JBGS) was organized by Vornado Realty Trust (NYSE: VNO) (“Vornado”) as a Maryland real estate investment trust (“REIT”) on October 27, 2016 (capitalized on November 22, 2016). JBG SMITH was formed for the purpose of receiving, via the spin-off on July 17, 2017 (the “Separation”), substantially all of the assets and liabilities of Vornado’s Washington, DC segment, which operated as Vornado / Charles E. Smith, (the “Vornado Included Assets”). On July 18, 2017, JBG SMITH acquired the management business and certain assets of The JBG Companies (“JBG”) (the “Combination”). Unless the context otherwise requires, all references to “we,” “us,” and “our,” refer to JBG SMITH after giving effect to the transfer of assets and liabilities from Vornado, but prior to the date of completion of the Separation.

Prior to the Separation from Vornado, JBG SMITH was a wholly owned subsidiary of Vornado and had no material assets or operations. Pursuant to a separation agreement, on July 17, 2017, Vornado distributed 100% of the then outstanding common shares of JBG SMITH on a pro rata basis to the holders of its common shares. Prior to such distribution by Vornado, Vornado Realty L.P. (“VRLP”), Vornado's operating partnership, distributed JBG SMITH LP, our operating partnership, common limited partnership units on a pro rata basis to the holders of its common limited partnership units, consisting of Vornado and the other common limited partners of VRLP. Following such distribution by VRLP and prior to such distribution by Vornado, Vornado contributed to JBG SMITH all of the JBG SMITH LP common limited partnership units it received in exchange for common shares of JBG SMITH. Each Vornado common shareholder received one JBG SMITH common share for every two Vornado common shares held as of the close of business on July 7, 2017 (the “Record Date”).  Vornado and each of the other limited partners of VRLP received one JBG SMITH LP common limited partnership unit for every two common limited partnership units in VRLP held as of the close of business on the Record Date. The operations of JBG SMITH are presented as if the transfer of the Vornado Included Assets had been consummated prior to all historical periods presented in the accompanying condensed combined financial statements at the carrying amounts of such assets and liabilities reflected in Vornado’s books and records.
In connection with the Separation, JBG SMITH issued 94.7 million common shares and JBG SMITH LP issued 5.8 million common limited partnership units to parties other than JBG SMITH. In connection with the Combination, JBG SMITH issued 23.5 million common shares and JBG SMITH LP issued 13.7 million common limited partnership units to parties other than JBG SMITH. As of the completion of the Separation and the Combination there were 118.2 million JBG SMITH common shares outstanding and 19.5 million JBG SMITH LP common limited partnership units outstanding that were owned by parties other than JBG SMITH.
After the Combination on July 18, 2017, the combined portfolio of JBG SMITH was comprised of: (i) 68 operating assets comprising 50 office assets totaling over 13.9 million square feet (11.9 million square feet at our share), 14 multifamily assets totaling 6,016 units (4,232 units at our share) and four other assets totaling approximately 765,000 square feet (348,000 square feet at our share); (ii) 11 assets under construction comprising five office assets totaling over 1.3 million square feet (1.2 million square feet at our share) and six multifamily assets totaling 1,334 units (1,146 units at our share); (iii) two near-term development assets comprising one other asset of approximately 65,000 square feet (6,500 square feet at our share) and one multifamily asset totaling 433 units (303 units at our share), and (iv) 44 future development assets totaling over 22 million square feet (18.3 million square feet at our share) of estimated potential development density.
Our revenues are derived primarily from leases with office and multifamily tenants, including fixed rents and reimbursements from tenants for certain expenses such as real estate taxes, property operating expenses, and repairs and maintenance.
Only the U.S. federal government accounted for 10% or more of revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, as follows:

Basis of Presentation and Combination
The accompanying condensed combined financial statements include the Vornado Included Assets, all of which were under common control of Vornado for all periods prior to the July 17, 2017 transfer of assets to JBG SMITH and the distribution of JBG SMITH’s common shares to Vornado’s shareholders. The assets and liabilities in these combined financial statements have been carved out of Vornado’s books and records at their historical carrying amounts. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

Our condensed combined financial statements covered in this report present the financial condition as of and for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2017, which is prior to consummation of the Separation and the Combination. Therefore, the discussion of our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition set forth in this report is not necessarily indicative of our future results of operations, cash flows or financial condition as an independent, publicly traded company.
The historical financial results for the Vornado Included Assets reflect charges for certain corporate costs which we believe are reasonable. These charges were based on either actual costs incurred or a proportion of costs estimated to be applicable to the Vornado Included Assets based on an analysis of key metrics, including total revenues. Such costs do not necessarily reflect what the actual costs would have been if JBG SMITH had been operating as a separate standalone public company. These charges are discussed further in Note 11.

Presentation of earnings per share information is not applicable in these condensed combined financial statements, since these assets and liabilities were owned by Vornado during the periods presented.
The condensed combined financial statements included in this report are unaudited. In our opinion, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included, and all such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full year.
The accompanying unaudited condensed combined financial statements and notes are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions of Form 10-Q. Accordingly, these unaudited condensed combined financial statements do not contain certain information required in annual financial statements and notes. The unaudited condensed combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2016 was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required under GAAP. These condensed combined financial statements should be read in conjunction with our Registration Statement on Form 10, as amended, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and declared effective on June 26, 2017 as well as the final Information Statement filed with the SEC as Exhibit 99.1 to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on June 27, 2017.
Commencing with the transfer of assets to JBG SMITH and the distribution of JBG SMITH’s common shares to Vornado’s shareholders, JBG SMITH operates in a manner intended to enable it to qualify as a REIT under Sections 856‑860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Under those sections, a REIT which distributes at least 90% of its REIT taxable income as dividends to its shareholders each year and which meets certain other conditions will not be taxed on that portion of its taxable income which is distributed to its shareholders. Since Vornado operates as a REIT and distributes 100% of taxable income to its shareholders, no provision for federal income taxes has been made in the accompanying condensed combined financial statements. The Vornado Included Assets are subject to certain other taxes, including state and local taxes which are included in “income tax expense” in the condensed combined statements of income.
The Vornado Included Assets aggregate assets into two reportable segments (office and multifamily) because all of the assets in each segment have similar economic characteristics and we provide similar products and services to similar types of office and multifamily tenants.
Certain prior period data have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. We reclassified $4.0 million of investments to “Other assets” on our condensed combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2016 as a result of the revision in the line item “Investments in unconsolidated real estate ventures” on our condensed combined balance sheet to include only real estate investments.
