Notes to Condensed Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

1.    Organization and Basis of Presentation

Organization

JBG SMITH Properties ("JBG SMITH") was organized by Vornado Realty Trust ("Vornado" or "former parent") 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 and liabilities (the "JBG Assets") of The JBG Companies ("JBG") (the "Combination"). The Separation and the Combination are collectively referred to as the "Formation Transaction." Unless the context otherwise requires, all references to "we," "us," and "our," refer to the Vornado Included Assets (our predecessor and accounting acquirer) for periods prior to the Separation and to JBG SMITH for periods after the Separation. References to "our share" refers to our ownership percentage of consolidated and unconsolidated assets in real estate ventures. Substantially all of our assets are held by, and our operations are conducted through, JBG SMITH Properties LP ("JBG SMITH LP"), our operating partnership. As of March 31, 2018, we, as its sole general partner, controlled JBG SMITH LP and owned 85.6% of its common limited partnership units ("OP Units").

Prior to the Separation from Vornado, JBG SMITH was a wholly owned subsidiary of Vornado and had no material assets or operations. Our operations are presented as if the transfer of the Vornado Included Assets had been consummated prior to all historical periods presented in the accompanying consolidated and combined financial statements at the carrying amounts of such assets and liabilities reflected in Vornado’s books and records. The assets and liabilities of the JBG Assets and subsequent results of operations and cash flows are reflected in our consolidated and combined financial statements beginning on the date of the Combination.

We own and operate a portfolio of high-quality office and multifamily assets, many of which are amenitized with ancillary retail. Our portfolio reflects our longstanding strategy of owning and operating assets within Metro-served submarkets in the Washington, DC metropolitan area that have high barriers to entry and key urban amenities, including being within walking distance of a Metro station. 

As of March 31, 2018, our Operating Portfolio consists of 68 operating assets comprising 50 office assets totaling over 13.7 million square feet (11.8 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). Additionally, we have (i) ten assets under construction comprising four office assets totaling approximately 1.3 million square feet (1.1 million square feet at our share), five multifamily assets totaling 1,767 units (1,568 units at our share) and one other asset totaling approximately 41,100 square feet (4,100 square feet at our share); and (ii) 43 future development assets totaling approximately 21.3 million square feet (17.9 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. In addition, we have a third-party real estate services business that provides fee-based real estate services to the legacy funds (the "JBG Legacy Funds") formerly organized by JBG and other third parties.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated and 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 and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these unaudited condensed consolidated and

combined financial statements do not contain certain information required in annual financial statements and notes as required under GAAP. In our opinion, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included, and all such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. The results of operations for the three months endedMarch 31, 2018 and 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full year. These condensed consolidated and combined financial statements should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

9

The accompanying condensed consolidated and combined financial statements include the accounts of JBG SMITH and our wholly owned subsidiaries and those other entities, including JBG SMITH LP, in which we have a controlling financial interest, including where we have been determined to be the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity ("VIE"). See Note 4 for additional information on our VIEs. The portions of the equity and net income (loss) of consolidated subsidiaries that are not attributable to JBG SMITH are presented separately as amounts attributable to noncontrolling interests in the condensed consolidated and combined financial statements.

References to the financial statements refer to our condensed consolidated and combined financial statements as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, and for the three months endedMarch 31, 2018 and 2017. References to the balance sheets refer to our condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017. References to the statements of operations refer to our condensed consolidated and combined statements of operations for the three months endedMarch 31, 2018 and 2017. References to the statements of cash flows refer to our condensed consolidated and combined statements of cash flows for the three months endedMarch 31, 2018 and 2017.

Formation Transaction

JBG SMITH and the Vornado Included Assets were under common control of Vornado for all periods prior to the Separation. The transfer of the Vornado Included Assets from Vornado to JBG SMITH was completed prior to the Separation, at net book values (historical carrying amounts) carved out from Vornado’s books and records. For purposes of the formation of JBG SMITH, the Vornado Included Assets were designated as the predecessor and the accounting acquirer of the JBG Assets. Consequently, the financial statements of JBG SMITH, as set forth herein, represent a continuation of the financial information of the Vornado Included Assets as the predecessor and accounting acquirer such that the historical financial information included herein as of any date or for any periods on or prior to the completion of the Combination represents the pre-Combination financial information of the Vornado Included Assets. The financial statements reflect the common shares as of the date of the Separation as outstanding for all periods prior to July 17, 2017. The acquisition of the JBG Assets completed subsequently by JBG SMITH was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method whereby identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at the acquisition-date fair values and income and cash flows from the operations were consolidated into the financial statements of JBG SMITH commencing July 18, 2017. Consequently, the financial statements for the periods before and after the Formation Transaction are not directly comparable.

The accompanying statements of operations for the three months endedMarch 31, 2018 include our consolidated accounts. The accompanying financial statements for the three months endedMarch 31, 2017 include the Vornado Included Assets. Therefore, our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition set forth in this report are 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 allocated by the former parent, which 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. See Note 15 for additional information.

The total revenue and net loss of the JBG Assets for the three months endedMarch 31, 2018 included in our statements of operations was $48.2 million and $16.7 million.

The following pro forma information for the three months endedMarch 31, 2017 is presented as if the Formation Transaction had occurred on January 1, 2017. This pro forma information is based upon the historical financial statements. This pro forma information does not purport to represent what the actual results of our operations would have been, nor does it purport to predict the results of operations of future periods. The pro forma information was adjusted to exclude transaction and other costs of $5.8 million for the three months endedMarch 31, 2017.

Income Taxes

We intend to elect to be taxed as a REIT under sections 856-860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). 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. Prior to the Separation, Vornado operated as a REIT and distributed 100% of taxable income to its shareholders, accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes has been made in the accompanying financial statements for the periods prior to the Separation. We intend to adhere to these requirements and maintain our REIT status in future periods. We also participate in the activities conducted by subsidiary entities which have elected to be treated as taxable REIT subsidiaries under the Code. As such, we are subject to federal, state, and local taxes on the income from these activities.

Reclassifications

For the three months endedMarch 31, 2017, we reclassified $4.7 million of expenses to "General and administrative: third-party real estate services" from "Property operating expenses" and "General and administrative: corporate and other" as it relates to expenses incurred to provide third-party real estate services. Additionally, we reclassified $4.2 million of income for the three months endedMarch 31, 2017 to "Third-party real estate services, including reimbursements" from "Other income" as it relates to revenue earned from providing third-party real estate services.

2.    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Significant Accounting Policies

There were no material changes to our significant accounting policies disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. The most significant of these estimates include: (i) the underlying cash flows used to establish the fair values recorded in connection with the Combination and used in assessing impairment and (ii) the determination of useful lives for tangible and intangible assets. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In connection with the adoption of Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash, we revised the presentation of restricted cash in the statement of cash flows for the three months endedMarch 31, 2017.

The following table provides a brief description of recent accounting pronouncements by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") that could have a material effect on our financial statements:

Standard	Description	Date of Adoption	Effect on the Financial Statements or Other Significant Matters
Standard adopted
ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), as clarified and amended by ASU 2016-08, ASU 2016-10 and ASU 2016-12	This standard establishes a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most of the existing revenue recognition guidance. It requires an entity to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services and also requires certain additional disclosures.	January 2018	We utilized the modified retrospective method of adoption. The standard excludes from its scope the areas of accounting that most significantly affect our revenue recognition, including accounting for leases and financial instruments. Our evaluation determined there were no required changes to our recognition of revenue related to our third-party real estate services, tenant reimbursements, property and asset management fees, or transactional/management fees for leasing, development and construction. Our evaluation also determined there were no required changes to our recognition of promote fees and dispositions of real estate properties as we did not have any deferred gains due to continuing involvement at the time of adoption. Therefore, the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our financial statements. We adopted the practical expedient of this standard to only assess the recognition of revenue for open contracts at the date of adoption and there was no adjustment to the opening balance of our accumulated deficit at January 1, 2018. The comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for that period.

Standard	Description	Date of Adoption	Effect on the Financial Statements or Other Significant Matters
Standard not yet adopted
ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), as clarified and amended by ASU 2018-01	This standard establishes principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both lessees and lessors. ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase. Lessees are required to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term of greater than 12 months. Leases with a term of 12 months or less will be accounted for similar to existing guidance for operating leases. Lessees will recognize expense based on the effective interest method for finance leases or on a straight-line basis for operating leases. The ASU also clarifies that an assessment of whether a land easement meets the definition of a lease under the new lease standard is required. The provisions of this standard are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and should be applied through a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements.	January 2019	We are currently evaluating the overall impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-02 on our financial statements, including the timing of adopting this standard. ASU 2016-02 will more significantly impact the accounting for leases in which we are the lessee. We have ground leases for which we will be required to record a right-of-use asset and lease liability equal to the present value of the remaining minimum lease payments upon adoption of this standard. As of March 31, 2018, future ground lease payments totaled $574.8 million to which we would apply a discount rate. We are in the process of determining an appropriate discount rate. Under ASU 2016-02, initial direct costs for both lessees and lessors would include only those costs that are incremental to the arrangement and would not have been incurred if the lease had not been obtained. As a result, we may no longer be able to capitalize internal leasing costs and instead may be required to expense these costs as incurred. Capitalized internal leasing costs were $1.3 million and $532,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017.

⁽¹⁾  Ownership interest as of March 31, 2018. We aggregate our investments in unconsolidated real estate ventures by real estate venture partner. We have multiple investments with certain venture partners with varying ownership interests.

13

In January 2018, we invested $10.1 million for a 16.67% interest in a real estate venture with CIM and PacLife, which purchased the 1,152-key Wardman Park hotel, located adjacent to the Woodley Park Metro Station in northwest Washington, DC. Prior to the acquisition by this venture, the JBG Legacy Funds owned a 47.64% interest in the Wardman Park hotel. The JBG Legacy Funds did not receive any proceeds from the sale, as the net proceeds were used to satisfy the prior mortgage debt. A third-party asset manager will oversee the hotel operations on behalf of the venture and our involvement will increase only to the extent the land development opportunity becomes the primary business plan for the asset.

In February 2018, we entered into a real estate venture with CPPIB to develop and own 1900 N Street, an under-construction office asset in Washington, DC. We contributed 1900 N Street, valued at $95.9 million, to the real estate venture and CPPIB has committed approximately $101.0 million for a 45.0% interest, which will reduce our ownership interest from 100.0% at the real estate venture's formation to 55.0% as contributions are funded.

4.    Variable Interest Entities

We hold various interests in entities deemed to be VIEs, which we evaluate at acquisition, formation, after a change in the ownership agreement or a change in the real estate venture's economics to determine if the VIEs should be consolidated in our financial statements or should no longer be considered a VIE. Certain criteria we assess in determining whether the VIEs should be consolidated relate to our at-risk equity, our control over significant business activities, our voting rights, the noncontrolling interest kick-out rights and whether we are the primary beneficiary of the VIE.  

Unconsolidated VIEs

As of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, we have interests in entities that are deemed VIEs that are in the development stage and do not hold sufficient equity at risk or conduct substantially all their operations on behalf of the investor with disproportionately few voting rights. Although we are engaged to act as the managing partner in charge of day-to-day operations of these investees, we are not the primary beneficiary of these VIEs as we do not hold unilateral power over activities that, when taken together, most significantly impact the respective VIE’s performance. We account for our investment in these entities under the equity method. As of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the net carrying amounts of our investment in these entities were $267.9 million and $163.5 million, which are included in "Investments in and advances to unconsolidated real estate ventures" in our balance sheets. Our equity in the income (loss) of unconsolidated VIEs is included in "Income (loss) from unconsolidated real estate ventures, net" in our statements of operations. Our maximum exposure to loss in these entities is limited to our investments, construction commitments and debt guarantees. See Note 14 for additional information.

Consolidated VIEs

JBG SMITH LP is our most significant consolidated VIE. We hold the majority membership interest in the operating partnership, act as the general partner and exercise full responsibility, discretion and control over its day-to-day management.

The noncontrolling interests of the operating partnership do not have either substantive liquidation rights, or substantive kick-out rights without cause, or substantive participating rights that could be exercised by a simple majority of noncontrolling interest members (including by such a member unilaterally). Because the noncontrolling interest holders do not have these rights, the operating partnership is a VIE. As general partner, we have the power to direct the core activities of the operating partnership that most significantly affect its performance, and through our majority interest in the operating partnership have both the right to receive benefits from and the obligation to absorb losses of the operating partnership. Accordingly, we are the primary beneficiary of the operating partnership and consolidate the operating partnership in our financial statements. As we conduct our business and hold our assets and liabilities through the operating partnership, the total assets and liabilities of the operating partnership comprise substantially all of our consolidated assets and liabilities.

We also consolidate certain VIEs in which we control the most significant business activities. These entities are VIEs because the noncontrolling interest holders do not have substantive kick-out or participating rights, and we control all of the significant business activities. As of March 31, 2018, we consolidated one VIE with total assets and liabilities, excluding the operating partnership, of $29.4 million and $4.2 million. As of December 31, 2017, we consolidated two VIEs with total assets and liabilities, excluding the operating partnership, of $111.0 million and $8.8 million.

This mortgage was repaid in April 2018 concurrent with the closing of the sale of these assets. See Note 16 for additional information.

⁽⁴⁾  Includes variable rate mortgages payable with interest rates fixed by interest rate swap agreements.

As of March 31, 2018, the net carrying value of real estate collateralizing our mortgages payable, excluding assets held for sale, totaled $2.6 billion. Our mortgage loans contain covenants that limit our ability to incur additional indebtedness on these properties and in certain circumstances, require lender approval of tenant leases and/or yield maintenance upon repayment prior to maturity. Certain of our mortgage loans are recourse to us.

During the three months endedMarch 31, 2018, we made aggregate borrowings of $18.5 million under mortgages payable related to construction draws, and we repaid a mortgage payable with a principal balance of $64.3 million.

As of March 31, 2018, we had various interest rate swap and cap agreements with an aggregate notional amount of $1.4 billion on certain of our mortgages payable. See Note 12 for additional information.

Credit Facility

We have a $1.4 billion credit facility, consisting of a $1.0 billion revolving credit facility maturing in July 2021, with twosix-month extension options, a delayed draw $200.0 million unsecured term loan ("Tranche A-1 Term Loan") maturing in January 2023 and a delayed draw $200.0 million unsecured term loan ("Tranche A-2 Term Loan") maturing in July 2024.

In January 2018, we drew an additional $50.0 million under the Tranche A-1 Term Loan, in accordance with the delayed draw provisions of the credit facility. Concurrent with the draw, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement to convert the variable interest rate to a fixed interest rate. As of March 31, 2018, we have interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional amount of $100.0 million to convert the variable interest rate applicable to our Tranche A-1 Term Loan to a fixed interest rate, providing a base interest rate under the facility agreement of 2.12% per annum. The interest rate swaps mature in January 2023, concurrent with the maturity of our Tranche A-1 Term Loan.

8.    Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests

JBG SMITH LP

JBG SMITH LP has issued 19.8 million OP Units to persons other than JBG SMITH that are redeemable for cash or our common shares beginning August 1, 2018, subject to certain limitations. These OP Units represent a 14.4% interest in JBG SMITH LP as of March 31, 2018. The carrying value of the redeemable controlling interests is adjusted to its redemption value at the end of each reporting period, but to no less than its initial carrying value, with such adjustments recognized in "Additional paid-in capital." Redemption value is equivalent to the market value of one our common shares at the end of the period multiplied by the number of vested OP units outstanding.

Consolidated Real Estate Venture

We are a partner in a real estate venture that owns an under construction multifamily asset located at 965 Florida Avenue in Washington, DC. Pursuant to the terms of the 965 Florida Avenue real estate venture agreement, we will fund all capital contributions until our ownership interest reaches a maximum of 97.0%. Our partner can redeem its interest for cash two years after delivery, but no later than seven years subsequent to delivery. As of March 31, 2018, we held a 78.3% ownership interest.

Below is a summary of the activity of redeemable noncontrolling interests:

9.     Share-Based Payments

Time-Based LTIP Units

In February 2018, we granted 357,759 long-term incentive partnership units ("LTIP Units") with time-based vesting requirements ("Time-Based LTIP Units") to management and other employees with a grant-date fair value of $11.2 million or $31.38 per unit valued based on the post-vesting restriction periods. The significant assumptions used to value the Time-Based LTIP Units included expected volatility (20.0%), risk-free interest rate (2.1%) and post-vesting restriction periods (2 years). The Time-Based LTIP units vest in four equal installments in January of each year, subject to continued employment. Compensation expense is being recognized over a four-year period.

Performance-Based LTIP Units

In February 2018, we granted 553,489 LTIP Units with performance-based vesting requirements ("Performance-Based LTIP Units") to management and other employees with a grant-date fair value of $9.4 million or $17.04 per unit valued using Monte Carlo simulations. The significant assumptions used to value the Performance-Based LTIP Units included expected volatility (19.9%), dividend yield (2.7%) and risk-free interest rates (2.3%). Fifty percent of any Performance-Based LTIP Units that are earned vest at the end of the three-year performance period and the remaining 50% on the fourth anniversary of the date of grant, subject to continued employment. Compensation expense is recognized over a four-year period.

Other Equity Awards

Certain executives have elected to receive all or a portion of any cash bonus that would have been awarded in 2019, related to 2018 service, in the form of fully vested LTIP Units upon issuance.

⁽¹⁾  For the three months endedMarch 31, 2017, reflects the weighted average common shares outstanding as of the date of the Separation.

The effect of the conversion of 16.7 million OP Units that were outstanding as of March 31, 2018 is excluded in the computation of basic and diluted loss per common share, as the assumed exchange of such units for common shares on a one-for-one basis was antidilutive (the assumed conversion of these units would have no impact on the determination of diluted earnings per share). Since vested and outstanding OP Units, which are held by noncontrolling interests, are attributed gains and losses at an identical proportion to the common shareholders, the gains and losses attributable and their equivalent weighted average OP Unit impact are excluded from net income (loss) available to common shareholders and from the weighted average number of common shares outstanding in calculating basic and diluted loss per common share. The number of additional securities excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings (loss) per common share as they were antidilutive, but potentially could be dilutive in the future are included in the following table:

	Three Months Ended March 31,

12.    Fair Value Measurements

Financial Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

To manage, or hedge, our exposure to interest rate risk, we follow established risk management policies and procedures, including the use of a variety of derivative financial instruments. We do not enter into derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes.

As of March 31, 2018, we had various derivative financial instruments consisting of interest rate swap and cap agreements that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The net unrealized gain on our derivative financial instruments designated as cash flow hedges was $17.0 million as of March 31, 2018 and was recorded in "Accumulated other comprehensive income" in the balance sheet, of which a portion was reclassified to "Redeemable noncontrolling interests." Within the next 12 months, we expect to reclassify $628,000 as a decrease to interest expense. The net unrealized gain on our derivative financial instruments not designated as cash flow hedges was $1.1 million for the three months endedMarch 31, 2018 and is recorded in "Interest expense" in the statement of operations.

20

ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures, establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into three levels:

Level 1 — quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities;

Level 2 — observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted in active markets, but corroborated by market data; and

Level 3 — unobservable inputs that are used when little or no market data is available.

The fair values of the derivative financial instruments are based on the estimated amounts we would receive or pay to terminate the contracts at the reporting date and are determined using interest rate pricing models and observable inputs. The derivative financial instruments are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.

The following are assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

	Fair Value Measurements
	Total		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
March 31, 2018	(In thousands)
Derivative financial instruments designated as cash flow hedges:
Classified as assets in "Other assets, net"	$	16,089	$	—	$	16,089	$	—
Classified as liabilities in "Other liabilities, net"	1,821		—		1,821		—
Derivative financial instruments not designated as cash flow hedges:

Derivative financial instruments not designated as cash flow hedges:
Classified as assets in "Other assets, net"	635		—		635		—
Classified as liabilities in "Other liabilities, net"	22		—		22		—

The fair values of our derivative financial instruments were determined using widely accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of the derivative financial instrument. This analysis reflected the contractual terms of the derivative, including the period to maturity, and used observable market-based inputs, including interest rate market data and implied volatilities in such interest rates. While it was determined that the majority of the inputs used to value the derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy under authoritative accounting guidance, the credit valuation adjustments associated with the derivatives also utilized Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default. However, as of March 31, 2018, the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of the derivative financial instruments was assessed and it was determined that these adjustments were not significant to the overall valuation of the derivative financial instruments. As a result, it was determined that the derivative financial instruments in their entirety should be classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The net unrealized gain included in "Other comprehensive income'' was primarily attributable to the net change in unrealized gains or losses related to the interest rate swaps that were outstanding as of March 31, 2018, none of which were reported in the statements of operations because they were documented and qualified as hedging instruments.

21

Financial Assets and Liabilities Not Measured at Fair Value

As of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, all financial instruments and liabilities were reflected in our balance sheets at amounts which, in our estimation, reasonably approximated their fair values, except for the following:

The fair value of our mortgages payable is estimated by discounting the future contractual cash flows of these instruments using current risk-adjusted rates available to borrowers with similar credit ratings, which are provided by a third-party specialist. The fair value of the mortgages payable and unsecured term loan was determined using Level 2 inputs of the fair value hierarchy.

The fair value of our revolving credit facility and unsecured term loan is calculated based on the net present value of payments over the term of the facilities using estimated market rates for similar notes and remaining terms. The fair value of the revolving credit facility and unsecured term loan was determined using Level 2 inputs of the fair value hierarchy.

13.    Segment Information

We review operating and financial data for each property on an individual basis; therefore, each of our individual properties is a separate operating segment. As a result of the Formation Transaction, we redefined our reportable segments to be aligned with our method of internal reporting and the way our Chief Executive Officer, who is also our Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM"), makes key operating decisions, evaluates financial results, allocates resources and manages our business. Accordingly, we aggregate our operating segments into three reportable segments (office, multifamily, and third-party real estate services) based on the economic characteristics and nature of our assets and services. In connection therewith, we have reclassified the prior period segment financial data to conform to the current period presentation.

The CODM measures and evaluates the performance of our operating segments, with the exception of the third-party real estate services business, based on the net operating income ("NOI") of properties within each segment. NOI includes property rental revenues and tenant reimbursements and deducts property operating expenses and real estate taxes.

With respect to the third-party real estate services business, the CODM reviews revenues streams generated by this segment ("Third-party real estate services, including reimbursements"), as well as the expenses attributable to the segment ("General and administrative: third-party real estate services"), which are disclosed separately in the statements of operations. Management company assets primarily consist of management and leasing contracts with a net book value of $43.9 million and $45.7 million and classified in "Other assets, net" in the balance sheets as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017. Consistent with internal reporting presented to our CODM and our definition of NOI, the third-party real estate services operating results are excluded from the NOI data below.

___________________________________________

⁽¹⁾  Includes assets held for sale of $95.3 million and $8.3 million as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017. Assets held for sale primarily consist of real estate held for sale of $85.9 million ($72.7 million in our office segment and $13.3 million in our other segment) as of March 31, 2018 and $8.3 million ($1.7 million in our office segment and $6.6 million in our other segment) as of December 31, 2017.

14.    Commitments and Contingencies

Insurance

We maintain general liability insurance with limits of $200.0 million per occurrence and in the aggregate, and property and rental value insurance coverage with limits of $2.0 billion per occurrence, with sub-limits for certain perils such as floods and earthquakes on each of our properties. We also maintain coverage, through our wholly owned captive insurance subsidiary, for both terrorist acts and for nuclear, biological, chemical or radiological terrorism events with limits of $2.0 billion per occurrence. These policies are partially reinsured by third-party insurance providers.

We will continue to monitor the state of the insurance market and the scope and costs of coverage for acts of terrorism. We cannot anticipate what coverage will be available on commercially reasonable terms in the future. We are responsible for deductibles and losses in excess of the insurance coverage, which could be material.

Our debt, consisting of mortgage loans secured by our properties, revolving credit facility and unsecured term loans contain customary covenants requiring adequate insurance coverage. Although we believe that we currently have adequate insurance coverage, we may not be able to obtain an equivalent amount of coverage at reasonable costs in the future. If lenders insist on greater coverage than we are able to obtain, it could adversely affect the ability to finance or refinance our properties.

24

Construction Commitments

As of March 31, 2018, we have construction in progress that will require an additional $610.3 million to complete ($498.1 million related to our consolidated entities and $112.2 million related to our unconsolidated real estate ventures at our share), based on our current plans and estimates, which we anticipate will be primarily expended over the next two to three years. These capital expenditures are generally due as the work is performed, and we expect to finance them with debt proceeds, proceeds from asset recapitalizations and sales, and available cash.

Environmental Matters

Each of our properties has been subjected to varying degrees of environmental assessment at various times. The environmental assessments did not reveal any material environmental contamination that we believe would have a material adverse effect on our overall business, financial condition or results of operations, or that have not been anticipated and remediated during site redevelopment as required by law. Nevertheless, there can be no assurance that the identification of new areas of contamination, changes in the extent or known scope of contamination, the discovery of additional sites or changes in cleanup requirements would not result in significant cost to us.

Other

There are various legal actions against us in the ordinary course of business. In our opinion, the outcome of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

From time to time, we (or ventures in which we have an ownership interest) have agreed, and may in the future agree, to (1) guarantee portions of the principal, interest and other amounts in connection with their borrowings, (2) provide customary environmental indemnifications and nonrecourse carve-outs (e.g., guarantees against fraud, misrepresentation and bankruptcy) in connection with their borrowings and (3) provide guarantees to lenders and other third parties for the completion of development projects. We customarily have agreements with our outside partners whereby the partners agree to reimburse the real estate venture or us for their share of any payments made under the guarantee. Amounts that may be required to be paid in future periods in relation to budget overruns or operating losses that are also included in some of our guarantees are not estimable. Guarantees (excluding environmental) terminate either upon the satisfaction of specified circumstances or repayment of the underlying debt. As of March 31, 2018, the aggregate amount of our principal payment guarantees was $80.7 million for our consolidated entities and $31.0 million for our unconsolidated real estate ventures.

As of March 31, 2018, we expect to fund additional capital to certain of our unconsolidated investments totaling $49.3 million, which we anticipate will be primarily expended over the next two to three years.

In connection with the Formation Transaction, we entered into an agreement with Vornado regarding tax matters (the "Tax Matters Agreement") that provides special rules that allocate tax liabilities if the distribution of JBG SMITH shares by Vornado, together with certain related transactions, is not tax-free. Under the Tax Matters Agreement, we may be required to indemnify Vornado against any taxes and related amounts and costs resulting from a violation by us of the Tax Matters Agreement, or from the taking of certain restricted actions by us.

15. Transactions with Vornado and Related Parties

Transactions with Vornado

As described in Note 1, the accompanying financial statements present the operations of the Vornado Included Assets as carved-out from the financial statements of Vornado for all periods prior to July 17, 2017.

Certain centralized corporate costs borne by Vornado for management and other services including, but not limited to, accounting, reporting, legal, tax, information technology and human resources have been allocated to the assets in the financial statements based on either actual costs incurred or a proportion of costs estimated to be applicable to the Vornado Included Assets based on key metrics including total revenue. The total amounts allocated during the three months endedMarch 31, 2017 were $6.7 million. These allocated amounts are included as a component of "General and administrative expense: Corporate and other" expenses on the statement of operations and do not necessarily reflect what actual costs would have been if the Vornado Included Assets were a separate standalone public company. Actual costs may be materially different.

In connection with the Formation Transaction, we entered into an agreement with Vornado under which Vornado provides operational support for an initial period of up to two years. These services include information technology, financial reporting and payroll services. The charges for these services are based on an hourly or per transaction fee arrangement including reimbursement for overhead and out-of-pocket expenses. The total charges for the three months endedMarch 31, 2018 were approximately $1.2 million. Pursuant to an agreement, we are providing Vornado with leasing and property management services for certain of its

25

assets that were not part of the Separation. The total revenue related to these services for the three months endedMarch 31, 2018 was $600,000. We believe that the terms of both of these agreements are comparable to those that would have been negotiated based on market rates.

In connection with the Formation Transaction, we entered into a Tax Matters Agreement with Vornado. See Note 14 for additional information.

In August 2014, we completed a $185.0 million financing of the Universal buildings, a 687,000 square foot office complex located in Washington, DC. In connection with this financing, pursuant to a note agreement dated August 12, 2014, we used a portion of the financing proceeds and made an $86.0 million loan to Vornado at LIBOR plus 2.9% due August 2019. At the Separation, Vornado repaid the outstanding balance of the loan and related accrued interest. We recognized interest income of $831,000 during the three months endedMarch 31, 2017.

In connection with the development of The Bartlett, prior to the Separation, we entered into various note agreements with Vornado whereby we could borrow up to a maximum of $170.0 million. Vornado contributed these note agreements along with accrued and unpaid interest to JBG SMITH at the Separation. We incurred interest expense of $1.8 million during the three months endedMarch 31, 2017.

In June 2016, the $115.0 million mortgage loan (including $608,000 of accrued interest) secured by the Bowen Building, a 231,000 square foot office building located in Washington, DC, was repaid with the proceeds of a $115.6 million draw on our former parent's revolving credit facility. We repaid our former parent with amounts drawn under our revolving credit facility at the Combination. We incurred interest expense of $561,000 during the three months endedMarch 31, 2017.

We have agreements that are terminable on the second anniversary of the Combination with Building Maintenance Services ("BMS"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Vornado, to supervise cleaning, engineering and security services at our properties. We paid BMS $4.0 million and $3.1 million during the three months endedMarch 31, 2018 and 2017, which are included in "Property operating expenses" in our statements of operations.

We entered into a consulting agreement with Mr. Schear, a member of our Board of Trustees and formerly the president of Vornado’s Washington, DC segment. The consulting agreement expired on December 31, 2017 and provides for the payment of consulting fees and expenses at the rate of $169,400 per month for the 24 months following the Separation, including after the termination of the consulting agreement. The amount due under this consulting agreement of $4.1 million was expensed in connection with the Combination. As of March 31, 2018, the remaining liability is $2.5 million. Additionally, in March 2017, Vornado amended Mr. Schear’s employment agreement to provide for the payment of severance, bonus and post-employment services. 

Transactions with Real Estate Ventures

We have a third-party real estate services business that provides fee-based real estate services to the JBG Legacy Funds and other third parties. We provide services for the benefit of the JBG Legacy Funds that own interests in the assets retained by the JBG Legacy Funds. In connection with the contribution of the JBG Assets to us, it was determined that the general partner and managing member interests in the JBG Legacy Funds that were held by former JBG executives (and who became members of our management team and/or Board of Trustees) would not be transferred to us and remain under the control of these individuals. In addition, certain members of our senior management and Board of Trustees have an ownership interest in the JBG Legacy Funds and own carried interests in each fund and in certain of our real estate ventures that entitles them to receive additional compensation if the fund or real estate venture achieves certain return thresholds. This third-party real estate services revenue, including reimbursements, from these JBG Legacy Funds for the three months endedMarch 31, 2018 was $8.6 million.

We rent our corporate offices from an unconsolidated real estate venture and incurred expenses totaling $1.2 million during the three months endedMarch 31, 2018, which is recorded in "General and administrative expense: Corporate and other" in our statement of operations.

Registration Rights Agreements

In connection with the Formation Transaction, we entered into a registration rights agreement with certain former investors in the JBG Legacy Funds that received our common shares in the Formation Transaction (the "Shares Registration Rights Agreement") and a separate registration rights agreement with the certain former investors in the JBG Legacy Funds and certain employees of JBG entities that received OP Units in the Formation Transaction (the "OP Units Registration Rights Agreement" and together with the Shares Registration Rights Agreement, the "Registration Rights Agreements"). Certain holders of common shares and OP Units who may benefit from the Registration Rights Agreements are members of our management team and/or Board of Trustees. Our obligations under the Shares Registration Rights Agreement were fully satisfied in January 2018.

16. Subsequent Events

In April 2018, we closed on the sale of Summit I and II, two office assets located in Reston, Virginia, which had an aggregate net carrying value of $88.4 million and met the held for sale criteria as of March 31, 2018 for an aggregate gross sales price of $95.0 million. In connection with the sale, we repaid the related $59.0 million mortgage payable outstanding, which was included in "Liabilities related to assets held for sale" in our balance sheet as of March 31, 2018. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, we sold a land parcel and temporary easements associated with the Summit site for $2.2 million, resulting in a gain on the sale of $455,000.

In May 2018, our Board of Trustees declared a quarterly dividend of $0.225 per common share, payable on May 25, 2018 to shareholders of record on May 14, 2018.

In May 2018, we closed on the sale of the Bowen Building, an office building located in Washington, DC, which had a carrying value of $109.6 million for a gross sales price of $140.0 million. In connection with the sale, we repaid $115.1 million of the outstanding balance on our revolving credit facility. The asset met the held for sale criteria subsequent to March 31, 2018.

In May 2018, we granted a total of 25,770 fully vested LTIP Units to certain of our trustees with an aggregate grant-date fair value of $794,000.

Organization and Basis of Presentation

JBG SMITH Properties ("JBG SMITH") was organized by Vornado Realty Trust ("Vornado" or "former parent") 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 and liabilities (the "JBG Assets") of The JBG Companies ("JBG") (the "Combination"). The Separation and the Combination are collectively referred to as the "Formation Transaction." Substantially all of our assets are held by, and our operations are conducted through, JBG SMITH Properties LP ("JBG SMITH LP"), our operating partnership.

Prior to the Separation from Vornado, JBG SMITH was a wholly owned subsidiary of Vornado and had no material assets or operations. Our operations are presented as if the transfer of the Vornado Included Assets had been consummated prior to all historical periods presented in the accompanying consolidated and combined financial statements at the carrying amounts of such assets and liabilities reflected in Vornado’s books and records. The assets and liabilities of the JBG Assets and subsequent results of operations and cash flows are reflected in our consolidated and combined financial statements beginning on the date of the Combination.

The following is a discussion of the historical results of operations and liquidity and capital resources of JBG SMITH as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, and for the three months endedMarch 31, 2018 and 2017, which includes results prior to the consummation of the Separation. The historical results presented prior to the consummation of the Separation include the Vornado Included Assets, all of which were under common control of Vornado until July 17, 2017. Unless otherwise specified, the discussion of the historical results prior to July 18, 2017 does not include the results of the JBG Assets. Consequently, our results for the periods before and after the Formation Transaction are not directly comparable. The following discussion should be read with the condensed consolidated and combined interim financial statements and notes thereto appearing in "Item 1. Financial Statements."

References to the financial statements refer to our condensed consolidated and combined financial statements as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, and for the three months endedMarch 31, 2018 and 2017. References to the balance sheets refer to our condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017. References to the statements of operations refer to our condensed consolidated and combined statements of operations for the three months endedMarch 31, 2018 and 2017. References to the statements of cash flows refer to our condensed consolidated and combined statements of cash flows for the three months endedMarch 31, 2018 and 2017.

The accompanying financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of

28

revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The historical financial results for the Vornado Included Assets reflect charges for certain corporate costs allocated by the former parent which 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 15 to the financial statements included herein.

We intend to elect to be taxed as a REIT under sections 856-860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). 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. Prior to the Separation, Vornado operated as a REIT and distributed 100% of taxable income to its shareholders, accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes has been made in the accompanying financial statements for the periods prior to the Separation. We intend to adhere to these requirements and maintain our REIT status in future periods. We also participate in the activities conducted by subsidiary entities which have elected to be treated as taxable REIT subsidiaries under the Code. As such, we are subject to federal, state, and local taxes on the income from these activities.

We aggregate our operating segments into three reportable segments (office, multifamily, and third-party real estate services) based on the economic characteristics and nature of our assets and services.

Our revenues and expenses are, to some extent, subject to seasonality during the year, which impacts quarterly net earnings, cash flows and funds from operations that affects the sequential comparison of our results in individual quarters over time. We have historically experienced higher utility costs in the first and third quarters of the year.

We compete with a large number of property owners and developers. Our success depends upon, among other factors, trends affecting national and local economies, the financial condition and operating results of current and prospective tenants, the availability and cost of capital, interest rates, construction and renovation costs, taxes, governmental regulations and legislation, population trends, zoning laws, and our ability to lease, sublease or sell our assets at profitable levels. Our success is also subject to our ability to refinance existing debt on acceptable terms as it comes due.

Overview

We own and operate a portfolio of high-quality office and multifamily assets, many of which are amenitized with ancillary retail. Our portfolio reflects our longstanding strategy of owning and operating assets within Metro-served submarkets in the Washington, DC metropolitan area that have high barriers to entry and key urban amenities, including being within walking distance of a Metro station. 

As of March 31, 2018, our Operating Portfolio consists of 68 operating assets comprising 50 office assets totaling over 13.7 million square feet (11.8 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). Additionally, we have (i) ten assets under construction comprising four office assets totaling approximately 1.3 million square feet (1.1 million square feet at our share), five multifamily assets totaling 1,767 units (1,568 units at our share) and one other asset totaling approximately 41,100 square feet (4,100 square feet at our share); and (ii) 43 future development assets totaling approximately 21.3 million square feet (17.9 million square feet at our share) of estimated potential development density.

Key highlights of operating results for the three months endedMarch 31, 2018 included:

• a net loss of $4.2 million, or $0.04 per diluted common share, for the three months endedMarch 31, 2018 as compared to net income of $6.3 million, or $0.06 per diluted common share, for the three months endedMarch 31, 2017. The net loss for the three months endedMarch 31, 2018 and 2017 included transaction and other costs of $4.2 million and $5.8 million;

• a decrease in operating office portfolio leased and occupied percentages to 87.8% leased and 87.0%occupied as of March 31, 2018 from 88.0% and 87.2% as of December 31, 2017;

• an increase in operating multifamily portfolio leased and occupancy percentages to 96.1% leased and 94.2% occupied as of March 31, 2018 from 95.6% and 93.8% as of December 31, 2017;

• the leasing of approximately 355,000 square feet, or 322,000 square feet at our share, at an initial rent ⁽¹⁾ of $47.35 per square foot and a GAAP-basis weighted average rent per square foot of $49.27 for the three months endedMarch 31, 2018; and

• an increase in same store ⁽²⁾ net operating income of 11.3% to $71.4 million for the three months endedMarch 31, 2018 as compared to $64.2 million for the three months endedMarch 31, 2017.

• the closing of a real estate venture with Canadian Pension Plan Investment Board ("CPPIB") to develop and own 1900 N Street, an under-construction office asset in Washington, DC. We contributed 1900 N Street, valued at $95.9 million, to the real estate venture and CPPIB has committed approximately $101.0 million for a 45.0% interest, which will reduce our ownership interest from 100.0% at the real estate venture's formation to 55.0% as contributions are funded;

• the investment of $10.1 million for a 16.67% interest in a real estate venture with CIM Group and Pacific Life Insurance Company, which purchased the 1,152-key Wardman Park hotel, located adjacent to the Woodley Park Metro Station in northwest Washington, DC;

• an additional $50.0 million draw under our unsecured term loan ("Tranche A-1 Term Loan"), in accordance with the delayed draw provisions of the credit facility. Concurrent with the draw, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement to convert the variable interest rate to a fixed interest rate;

• the aggregate borrowings of $18.5 million under mortgages payable related to construction draws;

• the prepayment of a mortgage payable with an aggregate principal balance of $64.3 million;

• the payment of dividends of $0.225 per common share that were declared in December 2017; and

• the investment of $84.6 million in development costs, construction in progress and real estate additions.

Activity subsequent to March 31, 2018 included:

• the closing on the sale of Summit I and II, two office assets located in Reston, Virginia, for an aggregate gross sales price of $95.0 million. In connection with the sale, we repaid the related $59.0 million mortgage payable outstanding;

• the declaration of a quarterly dividend of $0.225 per common share, payable on May 25, 2018, to shareholders of record on May 14, 2018; and

• the closing on the sale of the Bowen Building, an office building located in Washington, DC, for a gross sales price of $140.0 million. In connection with the sale, we repaid $115.1 million of the outstanding balance on our revolving credit facility.

______________

* Not meaningful.

Property rentals revenue increased by approximately $27.6 million, or 27.9%, to $126.7 million in 2018 from $99.0 million in 2017. The increase was primarily due to $26.3 million of revenue associated with the JBG Assets acquired in the Combination and an increase of $1.2 million in revenue associated with the Vornado Included Assets, primarily due to an increase in occupancy and associated rentals at The Bartlett which was placed into service in the second quarter of 2016.

Tenant reimbursements revenue increased by approximately $2.4 million, or 28.1%, to $10.9 million in 2018 from $8.5 million in 2017. The increase was primarily due to an increase of $2.3 million associated with the assets acquired in the Combination.

Third-party real estate services revenue, including reimbursements, increased by approximately $17.2 million, or 241.5%, to $24.3 million in 2018 from $7.1 million in 2017. The increase was primarily due to an increase of $19.3 million associated with the real estate services business acquired in the Combination, partially offset by lower payroll reimbursements related to third-party arrangements which were terminated during 2017 and early 2018.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased by approximately $15.4 million, or 45.5%, to $49.2 million for 2018 from $33.8 million in 2017. The increase was primarily due to depreciation and amortization expense associated with the assets acquired in the Combination.

Property operating expense increased by approximately $7.1 million, or 29.8%, to $30.9 million in 2018 from $23.8 million in 2017. The increase was primarily due to property operating expenses of $7.9 million associated with the assets acquired in the Combination partially offset by a decrease of $791,000 associated with the Vornado Included Assets due primarily to lower payroll expenses.

Real estate tax expense increased by approximately $4.4 million, or 29.3%, to $19.6 million in 2018 from $15.2 million in 2017. The increase was primarily due to real estate tax expense of $3.3 million associated with the assets acquired in the Combination, and an increase associated with the Vornado Included Assets due to increased tax assessments and lower capitalized real estate taxes.

31

General and administrative expense: corporate and other decreased by approximately $681,000, or 5.1%, to $12.7 million for 2018 from $13.4 million in 2017. The decrease was due to lower corporate allocated overhead costs allocated by our former parent, partially offset by an increase in general operating expenses associated with the operations acquired in the Combination.

General and administrative expense: third-party real estate services increased by approximately $17.9 million, or 381.2%, to $22.6 million in 2018 from $4.7 million in 2017 primarily due to the real estate services business acquired in the Combination.

General and administrative expense: share-based compensation related to Formation Transaction of $9.4 million in 2018 consists of expense related to share-based compensation issued in connection with the Formation Transaction.

Transaction and other costs of $4.2 million in 2018 and $5.8 million in 2017 consist primarily of fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Formation Transaction.

Interest expense increased by approximately $5.3 million, or 38.4%, to $19.3 million for 2018 from $13.9 million in 2017. The increase was primarily due to $6.0 million of interest expense associated with the assets acquired in the Combination and the financing of 1235 South Clark Street, partially offset by the repayment of the mortgage associated with 2011 Crystal Drive.

Net Operating Income ("NOI") and Same Store NOI

We utilize NOI, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, to assess a segment’s performance. The most directly comparable GAAP measure is net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders. We use NOI internally as a performance measure and believe NOI provides useful information to investors regarding our financial condition and results of operations because it reflects only property related revenue (which includes base rent, tenant reimbursements and other operating revenue) less operating expense, before deferred rent and related party management fees. Management uses NOI as a supplemental performance measure for our assets and believes it provides useful information to investors because it reflects only those revenue and expense items that are incurred at the asset level, excluding non-cash items. In addition, NOI is considered by many in the real estate industry to be a useful starting point for determining the value of a real estate asset or group of assets. However, because NOI excludes depreciation and amortization and captures neither the changes in the value of our assets that result from use or market conditions, nor the level of capital expenditures and capitalized leasing commissions necessary to maintain the operating performance of our assets, all of which have real economic effect and could materially impact the financial performance of our assets, the utility of NOI as a measure of the operating performance of our assets is limited. NOI presented by us may not be comparable to NOI reported by other REITs that define these measures differently. We believe that to facilitate a clear understanding of our operating results, NOI should be examined in conjunction with net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders as presented in our financial statements. NOI should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders as an indication of our performance or to cash flows as a measure of liquidity or our ability to make distributions.

We also provide certain information on a "same store" basis. Information provided on a same store basis includes the results of properties that are owned, operated and in service for the entirety of both periods being compared except for properties for which significant redevelopment, renovation or repositioning occurred during either of the periods being compared. While there is judgment surrounding changes in designations, a property is removed from the same store pool when a property is considered to be a property under construction because it is undergoing significant redevelopment or renovation pursuant to a formal plan or is being repositioned in the market and such renovation or repositioning is expected to have a significant impact on property operating income. A development property or property under construction is moved to the same store pool once a substantial portion of the growth expected from the development or redevelopment is reflected in both the current and comparable prior year period. Acquisitions are moved into the same store pool once we have owned the property for the entirety of the comparable periods, and the property is not under significant development or redevelopment. 

For the three months endedMarch 31, 2018, all of the JBG Assets and two Vornado Included Assets (The Bartlett and 1800 South Bell Street) were not included in the same store comparison as they were not in service during portions of the periods being compared.

Same store NOI increased by $7.2 million, or 11.3%, for the three months endedMarch 31, 2018 as compared to the three months endedMarch 31, 2017. The increase in same store NOI was primarily due to the expiration of rent abatements, the expiration of payments associated with the assumption of lease liabilities and higher rental revenue from lease commencements.

Reportable Segments

We review operating and financial data for each property on an individual basis; therefore, each of our individual properties is a separate operating segment. As a result of the Formation Transaction, we redefined our reportable segments to be aligned with our method of internal reporting and the way our Chief Executive Officer, who is also our Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM"), makes key operating decisions, evaluates financial results, allocates resources and manages our business. Accordingly, we aggregate our operating segments into three reportable segments (office, multifamily and third-party real estate services) based on the

33

economic characteristics and nature of our assets and services. In connection therewith, we have reclassified the prior period segment financial data to conform to the current period presentation.

The CODM measures and evaluates the performance of our operating segments, with the exception of the third-party real estate services business, based on the NOI of properties within each segment. NOI includes property rental revenues and tenant reimbursements and deducts property operating expenses and real estate taxes.

With respect to the third-party real estate services business, the CODM reviews revenues streams generated by this segment ("Third-party real estate services, including reimbursements"), as well as the expenses attributable to the segment ("General and administrative: third-party real estate services"), which are disclosed separately in the statements of operations and discussed in the preceding pages under "Results of Operations.” Third-party real estate services revenue, including reimbursements, was $24.3 million in 2018. Excluding reimbursements and service revenue from our interests in consolidated and unconsolidated real estate ventures, revenue from our third-party asset management and real estate services business was $14.6 million, of which $5.8 million came from property management fees, $3.8 million came from asset management fees, $1.8 million came from leasing fees, $1.8 million came from development fees, $446,000 came from construction management fees and $1.0 million came from other service revenue. Consistent with internal reporting presented to our CODM and our definition of NOI, the third-party real estate services operating results are excluded from the NOI data below.

Rental revenue is calculated as property rentals plus tenant reimbursements. Rental expense is calculated as property operating expenses plus real estate taxes. NOI is calculated as rental revenue less rental expense. See Note 13 to the financial statements for the reconciliation of net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders to consolidated NOI for the three months endedMarch 31, 2018 and 2017.

Comparison of the Three Months Ended March 31,2018 to March 31, 2017

Office: Rental revenue increased by $23.8 million, or 27.5%, to $110.4 million in 2018 from $86.6 million in 2017. Consolidated NOI increased by $17.2 million, or 32.3%, to $70.5 million in 2018 from $53.3 million in 2017. The increase in rental revenue and consolidated NOI is primarily due to revenue associated with assets acquired in the Combination and higher rents due to rent commencements at 251 18th Street South, 241 18^th Street South, 1225 South Clark Street and 2200 Clarendon Blvd, partially offset by lower parking revenue at 1215 South Clark Street and a decrease in occupancy at 2345 Crystal Drive.

Multifamily: Rental revenue increased by $6.0 million, or 30.6%, to $25.8 million in 2018 from $19.7 million in 2017. Consolidated NOI increased by $3.0 million, or 24.5%, to $15.2 million in 2018 from $12.2 million in 2017. The increase in rental revenue and

34

consolidated NOI is primarily due to the assets acquired in the Combination and an increase in occupancy and associated rentals at The Bartlett which was placed into service in the second quarter of 2016.

Other: Rental revenue decreased by $456,000, or 21.7%, to $1.6 million in 2018 from $2.1 million in 2017. Consolidated NOI decreased by $4.0 million, or 676.7%, to a loss of $3.4 million in 2018 from $597,000 of income in 2017. The decrease in rental revenue and increase in net operating loss is primarily due to properties which were taken out of service, including 501 15th Street and 1400 South Eads Street.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Property rental income is our primary source of operating cash flow and is dependent on a number of factors including occupancy levels and rental rates, as well as our tenants’ ability to pay rent. In addition, we have a third-party real estate services business that provides fee-based real estate services to the legacy funds formerly organized by JBG and other third parties. Our assets provide a relatively consistent level of cash flow that enables us to pay operating expenses, debt service, recurring capital expenditures, dividends to shareholders and distributions to holders of OP Units. Other sources of liquidity to fund cash requirements include proceeds from financings, the issuance of equity securities and asset sales. We anticipate that cash flows from continuing operations and proceeds from financings, recapitalizations and asset sales, together with existing cash balances, will be adequate to fund our business operations, debt amortization, capital expenditures, dividends to shareholders and distributions to holders of OP Units over the next 12 months.

⁽³⁾  Excludes the mortgage payable of $59.0 million related to Summit I and II, which is included in "Liabilities related to assets held for sale" in our balance sheet as of March 31, 2018. This mortgage was repaid in April 2018 concurrent with the closing of the sale of these assets. See Note 16 to the financial statements for additional information.

⁽⁴⁾  Includes variable rate mortgages payable with interest rates fixed by interest rate swap agreements.

As of March 31, 2018, the net carrying value of real estate collateralizing our mortgages payable, excluding assets held for sale, totaled $2.6 billion. Our mortgage loans contain covenants that limit our ability to incur additional indebtedness on these properties and in certain circumstances, require lender approval of tenant leases and/or yield maintenance upon repayment prior to maturity. Certain of our mortgage loans are recourse to us.

During the three months endedMarch 31, 2018, we made aggregate borrowings of $18.5 million under mortgages payable related to construction draws, and we repaid a mortgage payable with a principal balance of $64.3 million.

As of March 31, 2018, we had various interest rate swap and cap agreements with an aggregate notional amount of $1.4 billion to swap variable interest rates to fixed rates on certain of our mortgages payable. See Note 12 to the financial statements for additional information.

We have a $1.4 billion credit facility, consisting of a $1.0 billion revolving credit facility maturing in July 2021, with twosix-month extension options, a delayed draw $200.0 million Tranche A-1 Term Loan maturing in January 2023 and a delayed draw $200.0 million unsecured term loan maturing in July 2024.

35

In January 2018, we drew an additional $50.0 million under the Tranche A-1 Term Loan, in accordance with the delayed draw provisions of the credit facility. Concurrent with the draw, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement to convert the variable interest rate to a fixed interest rate. As of March 31, 2018, we have interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional amount of $100.0 million to convert the variable interest rate applicable to our Tranche A-1 Term Loan to a fixed interest rate, providing a base interest rate under the facility agreement of 2.12% per annum. The interest rate swaps mature in January 2023, concurrent with the maturity of our Tranche A-1 Term Loan.

Long-term Liquidity Requirements

Our long-term capital requirements consist primarily of maturities under our credit facility and mortgage loans, construction commitments for development and redevelopment projects and costs related to growing our business, including acquisitions. We intend to fund these requirements through a combination of sources including debt proceeds, proceeds from asset recapitalizations and sales, capital from institutional partners that desire to form real estate venture relationships with us and available cash.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

During the three months endedMarch 31, 2018, there were no material changes to the contractual obligation information presented in Item 7 of Part II of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.

As of March 31, 2018, we expect to fund additional capital to certain of our unconsolidated investments totaling approximately $49.3 million, which we anticipate will be primarily expended over the next two to three years.

In May 2018, our Board of Trustees declared a quarterly dividend of $0.225 per common share.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Unconsolidated Real Estate Ventures

We consolidate entities in which we have a controlling interest or are the primary beneficiary in a variable interest entity. From time to time, we may have off-balance-sheet unconsolidated real estate ventures and other unconsolidated arrangements with varying structures.

As of March 31, 2018, we have investments in and advances to unconsolidated real estate ventures totaling $368.1 million. For the majority of these investments, we exercise significant influence over, but do not control these entities and therefore account for these investments using the equity method of accounting. For a more complete description of our real estate ventures, see Note 3 to the financial statements.

From time to time, we (or ventures in which we have an ownership interest) have agreed, and may in the future agree with respect to unconsolidated real estate ventures, to (1) guarantee portions of the principal, interest and other amounts in connection with their borrowings, (2) provide customary environmental indemnifications and nonrecourse carve-outs (e.g., guarantees against fraud, misrepresentation and bankruptcy) in connection with their borrowings and (3) provide guarantees to lenders and other third parties for the completion of development projects. We customarily have agreements with our outside partners whereby the partners agree to reimburse the real estate venture or us for their share of any payments made under certain of these guarantees. Amounts that may be required to be paid in future periods in relation to budget overruns or operating losses that are also included in some of our guarantees are not estimable. Guarantees (excluding environmental) terminate either upon the satisfaction of specified circumstances or repayment of the underlying debt. At times, we have agreements with our outside partners whereby we agree to reimburse our partner for their share of any payments made by them under certain guarantees. As of March 31, 2018,

37

the aggregate amount of our principal payment guarantees was approximately $31.0 million for our unconsolidated real estate ventures.

As of March 31, 2018, we expect to fund additional capital to certain of our unconsolidated investments totaling approximately $49.3 million, which we anticipate will be primarily expended over the next two to three years.

Reconsideration events could cause us to consolidate these unconsolidated real estate ventures and partnerships in the future or deconsolidate a consolidated entity. We evaluate reconsideration events as we become aware of them. Some triggers to be considered are additional contributions required by each partner and each partners’ ability to make those contributions. Under certain of these circumstances, we may purchase our partner’s interest. Our unconsolidated real estate ventures are held in entities which appear sufficiently stable to meet their capital requirements; however, if market conditions worsen and our partners are unable to meet their commitments, there is a possibility we may have to consolidate these entities.

Commitments and Contingencies

Insurance

We maintain general liability insurance with limits of $200.0 million per occurrence and in the aggregate, and property and rental value insurance coverage with limits of $2.0 billion per occurrence, with sub-limits for certain perils such as floods and earthquakes on each of our properties. We also maintain coverage, through our wholly owned captive insurance subsidiary, for both terrorist acts and for nuclear, biological, chemical or radiological terrorism events with limits of $2.0 billion per occurrence. These policies are partially reinsured by third-party insurance providers.

We will continue to monitor the state of the insurance market and the scope and costs of coverage for acts of terrorism. We cannot anticipate what coverage will be available on commercially reasonable terms in the future. We are responsible for deductibles and losses in excess of the insurance coverage, which could be material.

Our debt, consisting of mortgage loans secured by our properties, revolving credit facility and unsecured term loans contain customary covenants requiring adequate insurance coverage. Although we believe that we currently have adequate insurance coverage, we may not be able to obtain an equivalent amount of coverage at reasonable costs in the future. If lenders insist on greater coverage than we are able to obtain, it could adversely affect the ability to finance or refinance our properties.

Construction Commitments

As of March 31, 2018, we have construction in progress that will require an additional $610.3 million to complete ($498.1 million related to our consolidated entities and $112.2 million related to our unconsolidated real estate ventures at our share), based on our current plans and estimates, which we anticipate will be primarily expended over the next two to three years. These capital expenditures are generally due as the work is performed, and we expect to finance them with debt proceeds, proceeds from asset recapitalizations and sales, and available cash.

Other

There are various legal actions against us in the ordinary course of business. In our opinion, the outcome of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

In connection with the Formation Transaction, we entered into an agreement with Vornado regarding tax matters (the "Tax Matters Agreement") that provides special rules that allocate tax liabilities if the distribution of JBG SMITH shares by Vornado, together with certain related transactions, is not tax-free. Under the Tax Matters Agreement, we may be required to indemnify Vornado against any taxes and related amounts and costs resulting from a violation by us of the Tax Matters Agreement, or from the taking of certain restricted actions by us.

Environmental Matters

Under various federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations, an owner of real estate is liable for the costs of removal or remediation of certain hazardous or toxic substances on such real estate. These laws often impose such liability without regard to whether the owner knew of, or was responsible for, the presence of such hazardous or toxic substances. The costs of remediation or removal of such substances may be substantial and the presence of such substances, or the failure to promptly remediate such substances, may adversely affect the owner’s ability to sell such real estate or to borrow using such real estate as collateral. In connection with the ownership and operation of our assets, we may be potentially liable for such costs. The operations of current and former tenants at our assets have involved, or may have involved, the use of hazardous materials or generated hazardous wastes. The release of such hazardous materials and wastes could result in us incurring liabilities to remediate any resulting

38

contamination if the responsible party is unable or unwilling to do so. In addition, our assets are exposed to the risk of contamination originating from other sources. While a property owner may not be responsible for remediating contamination that has migrated onsite from an identifiable and viable offsite source, the contaminant’s presence can have adverse effects on operations and the redevelopment of our assets.

Most of our assets have been subject, at some point, to environmental assessments that are intended to evaluate the environmental condition of the subject and surrounding assets. These environmental assessments generally have included a historical review, a public records review, a visual inspection of the site and surrounding assets, visual or historical evidence of underground storage tanks, and the preparation and issuance of a written report. Soil and/or groundwater subsurface testing is conducted at our assets, when necessary, to further investigate any issues raised by the initial assessment that could reasonably be expected to pose a material concern to the property or result in us incurring material environmental liabilities as a result of redevelopment. They may not, however, have included extensive sampling or subsurface investigations. In each case where the environmental assessments have identified conditions requiring remedial actions required by law, we have initiated appropriate actions.

Each of our properties has been subjected to varying degrees of environmental assessment at various times. The environmental assessments did not reveal any material environmental contamination that we believe would have a material adverse effect on our overall business, financial condition or results of operations, or that have not been anticipated and remediated during site redevelopment as required by law. Nevertheless, there can be no assurance that the identification of new areas of contamination, changes in the extent or known scope of contamination, the discovery of additional sites or changes in cleanup requirements would not result in significant cost to us.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Interest Rate Risk

We have exposure to fluctuations in interest rates, which are sensitive to many factors that are beyond our control. Our exposure to a change in interest rates is summarized in the table below.

	March 31, 2018						December 31, 2017
			Weighted Average Effective Interest Rate		Effect of 1% Change in Base Rates				Weighted Average Effective Interest Rate
	Balance						Balance
Debt (contractual balances):	(Dollars in thousands)
Mortgages payable
Variable rate (1)	$	382,666	3.91	%	$	3,880	$	498,253	3.62	%
Fixed rate (2)	1,547,027		4.24	%	—		1,537,706		4.25	%
	$	1,929,693			$	3,880	$	2,035,959
Credit facility (variable rate):
Revolving credit facility	$	115,751	2.98	%	$	1,174	$	115,751	2.66	%
Tranche A-1 Term Loan	100,000		3.32	%	—		50,000		3.17	%
Pro rata share of debt of unconsolidated entities (contractual balances):
Variable rate (1)	$	161,951	5.25	%	$	1,642	$	158,154	4.40	%
Fixed rate (2)	258,771		4.07	%	—		238,138		3.79	%
	$	420,722			$	1,642	$	396,292

_________________

⁽¹⁾  Includes variable rate mortgages payable with interest rate cap agreements.

⁽²⁾  Includes variable rate mortgages payable with interest rates fixed by interest rate swap agreements.

The fair value of our debt is calculated by discounting the future contractual cash flows of these instruments using current risk‑adjusted rates available to borrowers with similar credit profiles based on market sources. As of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the estimated fair value of our consolidated debt was $2.2 billion for both periods. These estimates of fair value, which are made at the end of the reporting period, may be different from the amounts that may ultimately be realized upon the disposition of our financial instruments.

39

Hedging Activities

To manage, or hedge, our exposure to interest rate risk, we follow established risk management policies and procedures, including the use of a variety of derivative financial instruments. We do not enter into derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes.

Derivative Financial Instruments Designated as Cash Flow Hedges - Certain derivative financial instruments, consisting of interest rate swap and cap agreements, are designated as cash flow hedges, and are carried at their estimated fair value on a recurring basis. We assess the effectiveness of our cash flow hedges both at inception and on an ongoing basis. If the hedges are deemed to be effective, the fair value is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income and is subsequently reclassified into "Interest expense" in the period that the hedged forecasted transactions affect earnings. Our cash flow hedges become less than perfectly effective if the critical terms of the hedging instrument and the forecasted transactions do not perfectly match such as notional amounts, settlement dates, reset dates, calculation period and interest rates. In addition, we evaluate the default risk of the counterparty by monitoring the credit worthiness of the counterparty. While management believes its judgments are reasonable, a change in a derivative’s effectiveness as a hedge could materially affect expenses, net income and equity.

As of March 31, 2018, we had interest rate swap and cap agreements with an aggregate notional amount of $806.9 million. As of March 31, 2018, the fair value of our interest rate swaps and caps consisted of assets totaling $16.1 million included in "Other assets, net" in our balance sheet, and liabilities totaling $1.8 million included in "Other liabilities, net" in our balance sheet.

Derivative Financial Instruments Not Designated as Hedges - Certain derivative financial instruments, consisting of interest rate swap and cap agreements, are considered economic hedges, but not designated as accounting hedges, and are carried at their estimated fair value on a recurring basis. Realized and unrealized gains are recorded in "Interest expense" in the statements of operations in the period in which the change occurs. As of March 31, 2018, we had various interest rate swap and cap agreements with an aggregate notional amount of $529.1 million. As of March 31, 2018, the fair value of our interest rate swaps and caps not designated as hedges consisted of assets totaling $1.7 million included in "Other assets, net" in our balance sheet.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, 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 the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of March 31, 2018, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2018 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Organization and Basis of Presentation

Organization

JBG SMITH Properties ("JBG SMITH") was organized by Vornado Realty Trust ("Vornado" or "former parent") 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 and liabilities (the "JBG Assets") of The JBG Companies ("JBG") (the "Combination"). The Separation and the Combination are collectively referred to as the "Formation Transaction." Unless the context otherwise requires, all references to "we," "us," and "our," refer to the Vornado Included Assets (our predecessor and accounting acquirer) for periods prior to the Separation and to JBG SMITH for periods after the Separation. References to "our share" refers to our ownership percentage of consolidated and unconsolidated assets in real estate ventures. Substantially all of our assets are held by, and our operations are conducted through, JBG SMITH Properties LP ("JBG SMITH LP"), our operating partnership. As of March 31, 2018, we, as its sole general partner, controlled JBG SMITH LP and owned 85.6% of its common limited partnership units ("OP Units").

Prior to the Separation from Vornado, JBG SMITH was a wholly owned subsidiary of Vornado and had no material assets or operations. Our operations are presented as if the transfer of the Vornado Included Assets had been consummated prior to all historical periods presented in the accompanying consolidated and combined financial statements at the carrying amounts of such assets and liabilities reflected in Vornado’s books and records. The assets and liabilities of the JBG Assets and subsequent results of operations and cash flows are reflected in our consolidated and combined financial statements beginning on the date of the Combination.

We own and operate a portfolio of high-quality office and multifamily assets, many of which are amenitized with ancillary retail. Our portfolio reflects our longstanding strategy of owning and operating assets within Metro-served submarkets in the Washington, DC metropolitan area that have high barriers to entry and key urban amenities, including being within walking distance of a Metro station. 

As of March 31, 2018, our Operating Portfolio consists of 68 operating assets comprising 50 office assets totaling over 13.7 million square feet (11.8 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). Additionally, we have (i) ten assets under construction comprising four office assets totaling approximately 1.3 million square feet (1.1 million square feet at our share), five multifamily assets totaling 1,767 units (1,568 units at our share) and one other asset totaling approximately 41,100 square feet (4,100 square feet at our share); and (ii) 43 future development assets totaling approximately 21.3 million square feet (17.9 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. In addition, we have a third-party real estate services business that provides fee-based real estate services to the legacy funds (the "JBG Legacy Funds") formerly organized by JBG and other third parties.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated and 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 and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these unaudited condensed consolidated and

combined financial statements do not contain certain information required in annual financial statements and notes as required under GAAP. In our opinion, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included, and all such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. The results of operations for the three months endedMarch 31, 2018 and 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full year. These condensed consolidated and combined financial statements should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The accompanying condensed consolidated and combined financial statements include the accounts of JBG SMITH and our wholly owned subsidiaries and those other entities, including JBG SMITH LP, in which we have a controlling financial interest, including where we have been determined to be the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity ("VIE"). See Note 4 for additional information on our VIEs. The portions of the equity and net income (loss) of consolidated subsidiaries that are not attributable to JBG SMITH are presented separately as amounts attributable to noncontrolling interests in the condensed consolidated and combined financial statements.

References to the financial statements refer to our condensed consolidated and combined financial statements as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, and for the three months endedMarch 31, 2018 and 2017. References to the balance sheets refer to our condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017. References to the statements of operations refer to our condensed consolidated and combined statements of operations for the three months endedMarch 31, 2018 and 2017. References to the statements of cash flows refer to our condensed consolidated and combined statements of cash flows for the three months endedMarch 31, 2018 and 2017.

Formation Transaction

JBG SMITH and the Vornado Included Assets were under common control of Vornado for all periods prior to the Separation. The transfer of the Vornado Included Assets from Vornado to JBG SMITH was completed prior to the Separation, at net book values (historical carrying amounts) carved out from Vornado’s books and records. For purposes of the formation of JBG SMITH, the Vornado Included Assets were designated as the predecessor and the accounting acquirer of the JBG Assets. Consequently, the financial statements of JBG SMITH, as set forth herein, represent a continuation of the financial information of the Vornado Included Assets as the predecessor and accounting acquirer such that the historical financial information included herein as of any date or for any periods on or prior to the completion of the Combination represents the pre-Combination financial information of the Vornado Included Assets. The financial statements reflect the common shares as of the date of the Separation as outstanding for all periods prior to July 17, 2017. The acquisition of the JBG Assets completed subsequently by JBG SMITH was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method whereby identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at the acquisition-date fair values and income and cash flows from the operations were consolidated into the financial statements of JBG SMITH commencing July 18, 2017. Consequently, the financial statements for the periods before and after the Formation Transaction are not directly comparable.

The accompanying statements of operations for the three months endedMarch 31, 2018 include our consolidated accounts. The accompanying financial statements for the three months endedMarch 31, 2017 include the Vornado Included Assets. Therefore, our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition set forth in this report are 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 allocated by the former parent, which 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. See Note 15 for additional information.

The total revenue and net loss of the JBG Assets for the three months endedMarch 31, 2018 included in our statements of operations was $48.2 million and $16.7 million.

The following pro forma information for the three months endedMarch 31, 2017 is presented as if the Formation Transaction had occurred on January 1, 2017. This pro forma information is based upon the historical financial statements. This pro forma information does not purport to represent what the actual results of our operations would have been, nor does it purport to predict the results of operations of future periods. The pro forma information was adjusted to exclude transaction and other costs of $5.8 million for the three months endedMarch 31, 2017.

Income Taxes

We intend to elect to be taxed as a REIT under sections 856-860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). 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. Prior to the Separation, Vornado operated as a REIT and distributed 100% of taxable income to its shareholders, accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes has been made in the accompanying financial statements for the periods prior to the Separation. We intend to adhere to these requirements and maintain our REIT status in future periods. We also participate in the activities conducted by subsidiary entities which have elected to be treated as taxable REIT subsidiaries under the Code. As such, we are subject to federal, state, and local taxes on the income from these activities.

Reclassifications

For the three months endedMarch 31, 2017, we reclassified $4.7 million of expenses to "General and administrative: third-party real estate services" from "Property operating expenses" and "General and administrative: corporate and other" as it relates to expenses incurred to provide third-party real estate services. Additionally, we reclassified $4.2 million of income for the three months endedMarch 31, 2017 to "Third-party real estate services, including reimbursements" from "Other income" as it relates to revenue earned from providing third-party real estate services.

Significant Accounting Policies

There were no material changes to our significant accounting policies disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. The most significant of these estimates include: (i) the underlying cash flows used to establish the fair values recorded in connection with the Combination and used in assessing impairment and (ii) the determination of useful lives for tangible and intangible assets. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In connection with the adoption of Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash, we revised the presentation of restricted cash in the statement of cash flows for the three months endedMarch 31, 2017.

The following table provides a brief description of recent accounting pronouncements by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") that could have a material effect on our financial statements:

Standard	Description	Date of Adoption	Effect on the Financial Statements or Other Significant Matters
Standard adopted
ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), as clarified and amended by ASU 2016-08, ASU 2016-10 and ASU 2016-12	This standard establishes a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most of the existing revenue recognition guidance. It requires an entity to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services and also requires certain additional disclosures.	January 2018	We utilized the modified retrospective method of adoption. The standard excludes from its scope the areas of accounting that most significantly affect our revenue recognition, including accounting for leases and financial instruments. Our evaluation determined there were no required changes to our recognition of revenue related to our third-party real estate services, tenant reimbursements, property and asset management fees, or transactional/management fees for leasing, development and construction. Our evaluation also determined there were no required changes to our recognition of promote fees and dispositions of real estate properties as we did not have any deferred gains due to continuing involvement at the time of adoption. Therefore, the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our financial statements. We adopted the practical expedient of this standard to only assess the recognition of revenue for open contracts at the date of adoption and there was no adjustment to the opening balance of our accumulated deficit at January 1, 2018. The comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for that period.

Standard	Description	Date of Adoption	Effect on the Financial Statements or Other Significant Matters
Standard not yet adopted
ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), as clarified and amended by ASU 2018-01	This standard establishes principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both lessees and lessors. ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase. Lessees are required to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term of greater than 12 months. Leases with a term of 12 months or less will be accounted for similar to existing guidance for operating leases. Lessees will recognize expense based on the effective interest method for finance leases or on a straight-line basis for operating leases. The ASU also clarifies that an assessment of whether a land easement meets the definition of a lease under the new lease standard is required. The provisions of this standard are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and should be applied through a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements.	January 2019	We are currently evaluating the overall impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-02 on our financial statements, including the timing of adopting this standard. ASU 2016-02 will more significantly impact the accounting for leases in which we are the lessee. We have ground leases for which we will be required to record a right-of-use asset and lease liability equal to the present value of the remaining minimum lease payments upon adoption of this standard. As of March 31, 2018, future ground lease payments totaled $574.8 million to which we would apply a discount rate. We are in the process of determining an appropriate discount rate. Under ASU 2016-02, initial direct costs for both lessees and lessors would include only those costs that are incremental to the arrangement and would not have been incurred if the lease had not been obtained. As a result, we may no longer be able to capitalize internal leasing costs and instead may be required to expense these costs as incurred. Capitalized internal leasing costs were $1.3 million and $532,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017.

_______________

⁽¹⁾  Ownership interest as of March 31, 2018. We aggregate our investments in unconsolidated real estate ventures by real estate venture partner. We have multiple investments with certain venture partners with varying ownership interests.

In January 2018, we invested $10.1 million for a 16.67% interest in a real estate venture with CIM and PacLife, which purchased the 1,152-key Wardman Park hotel, located adjacent to the Woodley Park Metro Station in northwest Washington, DC. Prior to the acquisition by this venture, the JBG Legacy Funds owned a 47.64% interest in the Wardman Park hotel. The JBG Legacy Funds did not receive any proceeds from the sale, as the net proceeds were used to satisfy the prior mortgage debt. A third-party asset manager will oversee the hotel operations on behalf of the venture and our involvement will increase only to the extent the land development opportunity becomes the primary business plan for the asset.

In February 2018, we entered into a real estate venture with CPPIB to develop and own 1900 N Street, an under-construction office asset in Washington, DC. We contributed 1900 N Street, valued at $95.9 million, to the real estate venture and CPPIB has committed approximately $101.0 million for a 45.0% interest, which will reduce our ownership interest from 100.0% at the real estate venture's formation to 55.0% as contributions are funded.

Variable Interest Entities

Variable Interest Entities

Variable Interest Entities

We hold various interests in entities deemed to be VIEs, which we evaluate at acquisition, formation, after a change in the ownership agreement or a change in the real estate venture's economics to determine if the VIEs should be consolidated in our financial statements or should no longer be considered a VIE. Certain criteria we assess in determining whether the VIEs should be consolidated relate to our at-risk equity, our control over significant business activities, our voting rights, the noncontrolling interest kick-out rights and whether we are the primary beneficiary of the VIE.  

Unconsolidated VIEs

As of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, we have interests in entities that are deemed VIEs that are in the development stage and do not hold sufficient equity at risk or conduct substantially all their operations on behalf of the investor with disproportionately few voting rights. Although we are engaged to act as the managing partner in charge of day-to-day operations of these investees, we are not the primary beneficiary of these VIEs as we do not hold unilateral power over activities that, when taken together, most significantly impact the respective VIE’s performance. We account for our investment in these entities under the equity method. As of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the net carrying amounts of our investment in these entities were $267.9 million and $163.5 million, which are included in "Investments in and advances to unconsolidated real estate ventures" in our balance sheets. Our equity in the income (loss) of unconsolidated VIEs is included in "Income (loss) from unconsolidated real estate ventures, net" in our statements of operations. Our maximum exposure to loss in these entities is limited to our investments, construction commitments and debt guarantees. See Note 14 for additional information.

Consolidated VIEs

JBG SMITH LP is our most significant consolidated VIE. We hold the majority membership interest in the operating partnership, act as the general partner and exercise full responsibility, discretion and control over its day-to-day management.

The noncontrolling interests of the operating partnership do not have either substantive liquidation rights, or substantive kick-out rights without cause, or substantive participating rights that could be exercised by a simple majority of noncontrolling interest members (including by such a member unilaterally). Because the noncontrolling interest holders do not have these rights, the operating partnership is a VIE. As general partner, we have the power to direct the core activities of the operating partnership that most significantly affect its performance, and through our majority interest in the operating partnership have both the right to receive benefits from and the obligation to absorb losses of the operating partnership. Accordingly, we are the primary beneficiary of the operating partnership and consolidate the operating partnership in our financial statements. As we conduct our business and hold our assets and liabilities through the operating partnership, the total assets and liabilities of the operating partnership comprise substantially all of our consolidated assets and liabilities.

We also consolidate certain VIEs in which we control the most significant business activities. These entities are VIEs because the noncontrolling interest holders do not have substantive kick-out or participating rights, and we control all of the significant business activities. As of March 31, 2018, we consolidated one VIE with total assets and liabilities, excluding the operating partnership, of $29.4 million and $4.2 million. As of December 31, 2017, we consolidated two VIEs with total assets and liabilities, excluding the operating partnership, of $111.0 million and $8.8 million.

As of March 31, 2018, the net carrying value of real estate collateralizing our mortgages payable, excluding assets held for sale, totaled $2.6 billion. Our mortgage loans contain covenants that limit our ability to incur additional indebtedness on these properties and in certain circumstances, require lender approval of tenant leases and/or yield maintenance upon repayment prior to maturity. Certain of our mortgage loans are recourse to us.

During the three months endedMarch 31, 2018, we made aggregate borrowings of $18.5 million under mortgages payable related to construction draws, and we repaid a mortgage payable with a principal balance of $64.3 million.

As of March 31, 2018, we had various interest rate swap and cap agreements with an aggregate notional amount of $1.4 billion on certain of our mortgages payable. See Note 12 for additional information.

Credit Facility

We have a $1.4 billion credit facility, consisting of a $1.0 billion revolving credit facility maturing in July 2021, with twosix-month extension options, a delayed draw $200.0 million unsecured term loan ("Tranche A-1 Term Loan") maturing in January 2023 and a delayed draw $200.0 million unsecured term loan ("Tranche A-2 Term Loan") maturing in July 2024.

In January 2018, we drew an additional $50.0 million under the Tranche A-1 Term Loan, in accordance with the delayed draw provisions of the credit facility. Concurrent with the draw, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement to convert the variable interest rate to a fixed interest rate. As of March 31, 2018, we have interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional amount of $100.0 million to convert the variable interest rate applicable to our Tranche A-1 Term Loan to a fixed interest rate, providing a base interest rate under the facility agreement of 2.12% per annum. The interest rate swaps mature in January 2023, concurrent with the maturity of our Tranche A-1 Term Loan.

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests

JBG SMITH LP

JBG SMITH LP has issued 19.8 million OP Units to persons other than JBG SMITH that are redeemable for cash or our common shares beginning August 1, 2018, subject to certain limitations. These OP Units represent a 14.4% interest in JBG SMITH LP as of March 31, 2018. The carrying value of the redeemable controlling interests is adjusted to its redemption value at the end of each reporting period, but to no less than its initial carrying value, with such adjustments recognized in "Additional paid-in capital." Redemption value is equivalent to the market value of one our common shares at the end of the period multiplied by the number of vested OP units outstanding.

Consolidated Real Estate Venture

We are a partner in a real estate venture that owns an under construction multifamily asset located at 965 Florida Avenue in Washington, DC. Pursuant to the terms of the 965 Florida Avenue real estate venture agreement, we will fund all capital contributions until our ownership interest reaches a maximum of 97.0%. Our partner can redeem its interest for cash two years after delivery, but no later than seven years subsequent to delivery. As of March 31, 2018, we held a 78.3% ownership interest.

Time-Based LTIP Units

In February 2018, we granted 357,759 long-term incentive partnership units ("LTIP Units") with time-based vesting requirements ("Time-Based LTIP Units") to management and other employees with a grant-date fair value of $11.2 million or $31.38 per unit valued based on the post-vesting restriction periods. The significant assumptions used to value the Time-Based LTIP Units included expected volatility (20.0%), risk-free interest rate (2.1%) and post-vesting restriction periods (2 years). The Time-Based LTIP units vest in four equal installments in January of each year, subject to continued employment. Compensation expense is being recognized over a four-year period.

Performance-Based LTIP Units

In February 2018, we granted 553,489 LTIP Units with performance-based vesting requirements ("Performance-Based LTIP Units") to management and other employees with a grant-date fair value of $9.4 million or $17.04 per unit valued using Monte Carlo simulations. The significant assumptions used to value the Performance-Based LTIP Units included expected volatility (19.9%), dividend yield (2.7%) and risk-free interest rates (2.3%). Fifty percent of any Performance-Based LTIP Units that are earned vest at the end of the three-year performance period and the remaining 50% on the fourth anniversary of the date of grant, subject to continued employment. Compensation expense is recognized over a four-year period.

The effect of the conversion of 16.7 million OP Units that were outstanding as of March 31, 2018 is excluded in the computation of basic and diluted loss per common share, as the assumed exchange of such units for common shares on a one-for-one basis was antidilutive (the assumed conversion of these units would have no impact on the determination of diluted earnings per share). Since vested and outstanding OP Units, which are held by noncontrolling interests, are attributed gains and losses at an identical proportion to the common shareholders, the gains and losses attributable and their equivalent weighted average OP Unit impact are excluded from net income (loss) available to common shareholders and from the weighted average number of common shares outstanding in calculating basic and diluted loss per common share. The number of additional securities excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings (loss) per common share as they were antidilutive, but potentially could be dilutive in the future are included in the following table:

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Measurements

Financial Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

To manage, or hedge, our exposure to interest rate risk, we follow established risk management policies and procedures, including the use of a variety of derivative financial instruments. We do not enter into derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes.

As of March 31, 2018, we had various derivative financial instruments consisting of interest rate swap and cap agreements that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The net unrealized gain on our derivative financial instruments designated as cash flow hedges was $17.0 million as of March 31, 2018 and was recorded in "Accumulated other comprehensive income" in the balance sheet, of which a portion was reclassified to "Redeemable noncontrolling interests." Within the next 12 months, we expect to reclassify $628,000 as a decrease to interest expense. The net unrealized gain on our derivative financial instruments not designated as cash flow hedges was $1.1 million for the three months endedMarch 31, 2018 and is recorded in "Interest expense" in the statement of operations.

ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures, establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into three levels:

Level 1 — quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities;

Level 2 — observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted in active markets, but corroborated by market data; and

Level 3 — unobservable inputs that are used when little or no market data is available.

The fair values of the derivative financial instruments are based on the estimated amounts we would receive or pay to terminate the contracts at the reporting date and are determined using interest rate pricing models and observable inputs. The derivative financial instruments are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.

The following are assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

	Fair Value Measurements
	Total		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
March 31, 2018	(In thousands)
Derivative financial instruments designated as cash flow hedges:
Classified as assets in "Other assets, net"	$	16,089	$	—	$	16,089	$	—
Classified as liabilities in "Other liabilities, net"	1,821		—		1,821		—

Derivative financial instruments not designated as cash flow hedges:
Classified as assets in "Other assets, net"	635		—		635		—
Classified as liabilities in "Other liabilities, net"	22		—		22		—

The fair values of our derivative financial instruments were determined using widely accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of the derivative financial instrument. This analysis reflected the contractual terms of the derivative, including the period to maturity, and used observable market-based inputs, including interest rate market data and implied volatilities in such interest rates. While it was determined that the majority of the inputs used to value the derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy under authoritative accounting guidance, the credit valuation adjustments associated with the derivatives also utilized Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default. However, as of March 31, 2018, the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of the derivative financial instruments was assessed and it was determined that these adjustments were not significant to the overall valuation of the derivative financial instruments. As a result, it was determined that the derivative financial instruments in their entirety should be classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The net unrealized gain included in "Other comprehensive income'' was primarily attributable to the net change in unrealized gains or losses related to the interest rate swaps that were outstanding as of March 31, 2018, none of which were reported in the statements of operations because they were documented and qualified as hedging instruments.

Financial Assets and Liabilities Not Measured at Fair Value

As of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, all financial instruments and liabilities were reflected in our balance sheets at amounts which, in our estimation, reasonably approximated their fair values, except for the following:

	March 31, 2018				December 31, 2017
	Carrying       Amount (1)		Fair Value		Carrying       Amount (1)		Fair Value

^{______________________________________} 

⁽¹⁾ The carrying amount consists of principal only.

The fair value of our mortgages payable is estimated by discounting the future contractual cash flows of these instruments using current risk-adjusted rates available to borrowers with similar credit ratings, which are provided by a third-party specialist. The fair value of the mortgages payable and unsecured term loan was determined using Level 2 inputs of the fair value hierarchy.

The fair value of our revolving credit facility and unsecured term loan is calculated based on the net present value of payments over the term of the facilities using estimated market rates for similar notes and remaining terms. The fair value of the revolving credit facility and unsecured term loan was determined using Level 2 inputs of the fair value hierarchy.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Segment Information

Segment Information

We review operating and financial data for each property on an individual basis; therefore, each of our individual properties is a separate operating segment. As a result of the Formation Transaction, we redefined our reportable segments to be aligned with our method of internal reporting and the way our Chief Executive Officer, who is also our Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM"), makes key operating decisions, evaluates financial results, allocates resources and manages our business. Accordingly, we aggregate our operating segments into three reportable segments (office, multifamily, and third-party real estate services) based on the economic characteristics and nature of our assets and services. In connection therewith, we have reclassified the prior period segment financial data to conform to the current period presentation.

The CODM measures and evaluates the performance of our operating segments, with the exception of the third-party real estate services business, based on the net operating income ("NOI") of properties within each segment. NOI includes property rental revenues and tenant reimbursements and deducts property operating expenses and real estate taxes.

With respect to the third-party real estate services business, the CODM reviews revenues streams generated by this segment ("Third-party real estate services, including reimbursements"), as well as the expenses attributable to the segment ("General and administrative: third-party real estate services"), which are disclosed separately in the statements of operations. Management company assets primarily consist of management and leasing contracts with a net book value of $43.9 million and $45.7 million and classified in "Other assets, net" in the balance sheets as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017. Consistent with internal reporting presented to our CODM and our definition of NOI, the third-party real estate services operating results are excluded from the NOI data below.

The following table reflects the reconciliation of net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders to consolidated NOI:

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]

Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments and Contingencies

Insurance

We maintain general liability insurance with limits of $200.0 million per occurrence and in the aggregate, and property and rental value insurance coverage with limits of $2.0 billion per occurrence, with sub-limits for certain perils such as floods and earthquakes on each of our properties. We also maintain coverage, through our wholly owned captive insurance subsidiary, for both terrorist acts and for nuclear, biological, chemical or radiological terrorism events with limits of $2.0 billion per occurrence. These policies are partially reinsured by third-party insurance providers.

We will continue to monitor the state of the insurance market and the scope and costs of coverage for acts of terrorism. We cannot anticipate what coverage will be available on commercially reasonable terms in the future. We are responsible for deductibles and losses in excess of the insurance coverage, which could be material.

Our debt, consisting of mortgage loans secured by our properties, revolving credit facility and unsecured term loans contain customary covenants requiring adequate insurance coverage. Although we believe that we currently have adequate insurance coverage, we may not be able to obtain an equivalent amount of coverage at reasonable costs in the future. If lenders insist on greater coverage than we are able to obtain, it could adversely affect the ability to finance or refinance our properties.

Construction Commitments

As of March 31, 2018, we have construction in progress that will require an additional $610.3 million to complete ($498.1 million related to our consolidated entities and $112.2 million related to our unconsolidated real estate ventures at our share), based on our current plans and estimates, which we anticipate will be primarily expended over the next two to three years. These capital expenditures are generally due as the work is performed, and we expect to finance them with debt proceeds, proceeds from asset recapitalizations and sales, and available cash.

Environmental Matters

Each of our properties has been subjected to varying degrees of environmental assessment at various times. The environmental assessments did not reveal any material environmental contamination that we believe would have a material adverse effect on our overall business, financial condition or results of operations, or that have not been anticipated and remediated during site redevelopment as required by law. Nevertheless, there can be no assurance that the identification of new areas of contamination, changes in the extent or known scope of contamination, the discovery of additional sites or changes in cleanup requirements would not result in significant cost to us.

Other

There are various legal actions against us in the ordinary course of business. In our opinion, the outcome of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

From time to time, we (or ventures in which we have an ownership interest) have agreed, and may in the future agree, to (1) guarantee portions of the principal, interest and other amounts in connection with their borrowings, (2) provide customary environmental indemnifications and nonrecourse carve-outs (e.g., guarantees against fraud, misrepresentation and bankruptcy) in connection with their borrowings and (3) provide guarantees to lenders and other third parties for the completion of development projects. We customarily have agreements with our outside partners whereby the partners agree to reimburse the real estate venture or us for their share of any payments made under the guarantee. Amounts that may be required to be paid in future periods in relation to budget overruns or operating losses that are also included in some of our guarantees are not estimable. Guarantees (excluding environmental) terminate either upon the satisfaction of specified circumstances or repayment of the underlying debt. As of March 31, 2018, the aggregate amount of our principal payment guarantees was $80.7 million for our consolidated entities and $31.0 million for our unconsolidated real estate ventures.

As of March 31, 2018, we expect to fund additional capital to certain of our unconsolidated investments totaling $49.3 million, which we anticipate will be primarily expended over the next two to three years.

In connection with the Formation Transaction, we entered into an agreement with Vornado regarding tax matters (the "Tax Matters Agreement") that provides special rules that allocate tax liabilities if the distribution of JBG SMITH shares by Vornado, together with certain related transactions, is not tax-free. Under the Tax Matters Agreement, we may be required to indemnify Vornado against any taxes and related amounts and costs resulting from a violation by us of the Tax Matters Agreement, or from the taking of certain restricted actions by us.

Transactions with Vornado

As described in Note 1, the accompanying financial statements present the operations of the Vornado Included Assets as carved-out from the financial statements of Vornado for all periods prior to July 17, 2017.

Certain centralized corporate costs borne by Vornado for management and other services including, but not limited to, accounting, reporting, legal, tax, information technology and human resources have been allocated to the assets in the financial statements based on either actual costs incurred or a proportion of costs estimated to be applicable to the Vornado Included Assets based on key metrics including total revenue. The total amounts allocated during the three months endedMarch 31, 2017 were $6.7 million. These allocated amounts are included as a component of "General and administrative expense: Corporate and other" expenses on the statement of operations and do not necessarily reflect what actual costs would have been if the Vornado Included Assets were a separate standalone public company. Actual costs may be materially different.

In connection with the Formation Transaction, we entered into an agreement with Vornado under which Vornado provides operational support for an initial period of up to two years. These services include information technology, financial reporting and payroll services. The charges for these services are based on an hourly or per transaction fee arrangement including reimbursement for overhead and out-of-pocket expenses. The total charges for the three months endedMarch 31, 2018 were approximately $1.2 million. Pursuant to an agreement, we are providing Vornado with leasing and property management services for certain of its assets that were not part of the Separation. The total revenue related to these services for the three months endedMarch 31, 2018 was $600,000. We believe that the terms of both of these agreements are comparable to those that would have been negotiated based on market rates.

In connection with the Formation Transaction, we entered into a Tax Matters Agreement with Vornado. See Note 14 for additional information.

In August 2014, we completed a $185.0 million financing of the Universal buildings, a 687,000 square foot office complex located in Washington, DC. In connection with this financing, pursuant to a note agreement dated August 12, 2014, we used a portion of the financing proceeds and made an $86.0 million loan to Vornado at LIBOR plus 2.9% due August 2019. At the Separation, Vornado repaid the outstanding balance of the loan and related accrued interest. We recognized interest income of $831,000 during the three months endedMarch 31, 2017.

In connection with the development of The Bartlett, prior to the Separation, we entered into various note agreements with Vornado whereby we could borrow up to a maximum of $170.0 million. Vornado contributed these note agreements along with accrued and unpaid interest to JBG SMITH at the Separation. We incurred interest expense of $1.8 million during the three months endedMarch 31, 2017.

In June 2016, the $115.0 million mortgage loan (including $608,000 of accrued interest) secured by the Bowen Building, a 231,000 square foot office building located in Washington, DC, was repaid with the proceeds of a $115.6 million draw on our former parent's revolving credit facility. We repaid our former parent with amounts drawn under our revolving credit facility at the Combination. We incurred interest expense of $561,000 during the three months endedMarch 31, 2017.

We have agreements that are terminable on the second anniversary of the Combination with Building Maintenance Services ("BMS"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Vornado, to supervise cleaning, engineering and security services at our properties. We paid BMS $4.0 million and $3.1 million during the three months endedMarch 31, 2018 and 2017, which are included in "Property operating expenses" in our statements of operations.

We entered into a consulting agreement with Mr. Schear, a member of our Board of Trustees and formerly the president of Vornado’s Washington, DC segment. The consulting agreement expired on December 31, 2017 and provides for the payment of consulting fees and expenses at the rate of $169,400 per month for the 24 months following the Separation, including after the termination of the consulting agreement. The amount due under this consulting agreement of $4.1 million was expensed in connection with the Combination. As of March 31, 2018, the remaining liability is $2.5 million. Additionally, in March 2017, Vornado amended Mr. Schear’s employment agreement to provide for the payment of severance, bonus and post-employment services. 

Transactions with Real Estate Ventures

We have a third-party real estate services business that provides fee-based real estate services to the JBG Legacy Funds and other third parties. We provide services for the benefit of the JBG Legacy Funds that own interests in the assets retained by the JBG Legacy Funds. In connection with the contribution of the JBG Assets to us, it was determined that the general partner and managing member interests in the JBG Legacy Funds that were held by former JBG executives (and who became members of our management team and/or Board of Trustees) would not be transferred to us and remain under the control of these individuals. In addition, certain members of our senior management and Board of Trustees have an ownership interest in the JBG Legacy Funds and own carried interests in each fund and in certain of our real estate ventures that entitles them to receive additional compensation if the fund or real estate venture achieves certain return thresholds. This third-party real estate services revenue, including reimbursements, from these JBG Legacy Funds for the three months endedMarch 31, 2018 was $8.6 million.

We rent our corporate offices from an unconsolidated real estate venture and incurred expenses totaling $1.2 million during the three months endedMarch 31, 2018, which is recorded in "General and administrative expense: Corporate and other" in our statement of operations.

Registration Rights Agreements

In connection with the Formation Transaction, we entered into a registration rights agreement with certain former investors in the JBG Legacy Funds that received our common shares in the Formation Transaction (the "Shares Registration Rights Agreement") and a separate registration rights agreement with the certain former investors in the JBG Legacy Funds and certain employees of JBG entities that received OP Units in the Formation Transaction (the "OP Units Registration Rights Agreement" and together with the Shares Registration Rights Agreement, the "Registration Rights Agreements"). Certain holders of common shares and OP Units who may benefit from the Registration Rights Agreements are members of our management team and/or Board of Trustees. Our obligations under the Shares Registration Rights Agreement were fully satisfied in January 2018.

Subsequent Events

In April 2018, we closed on the sale of Summit I and II, two office assets located in Reston, Virginia, which had an aggregate net carrying value of $88.4 million and met the held for sale criteria as of March 31, 2018 for an aggregate gross sales price of $95.0 million. In connection with the sale, we repaid the related $59.0 million mortgage payable outstanding, which was included in "Liabilities related to assets held for sale" in our balance sheet as of March 31, 2018. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, we sold a land parcel and temporary easements associated with the Summit site for $2.2 million, resulting in a gain on the sale of $455,000.

In May 2018, our Board of Trustees declared a quarterly dividend of $0.225 per common share, payable on May 25, 2018 to shareholders of record on May 14, 2018.

In May 2018, we closed on the sale of the Bowen Building, an office building located in Washington, DC, which had a carrying value of $109.6 million for a gross sales price of $140.0 million. In connection with the sale, we repaid $115.1 million of the outstanding balance on our revolving credit facility. The asset met the held for sale criteria subsequent to March 31, 2018.

In May 2018, we granted a total of 25,770 fully vested LTIP Units to certain of our trustees with an aggregate grant-date fair value of $794,000.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis of Accounting [Text Block]

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated and 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 and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these unaudited condensed consolidated and

combined financial statements do not contain certain information required in annual financial statements and notes as required under GAAP. In our opinion, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included, and all such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. The results of operations for the three months endedMarch 31, 2018 and 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full year. These condensed consolidated and combined financial statements should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The accompanying condensed consolidated and combined financial statements include the accounts of JBG SMITH and our wholly owned subsidiaries and those other entities, including JBG SMITH LP, in which we have a controlling financial interest, including where we have been determined to be the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity ("VIE"). See Note 4 for additional information on our VIEs. The portions of the equity and net income (loss) of consolidated subsidiaries that are not attributable to JBG SMITH are presented separately as amounts attributable to noncontrolling interests in the condensed consolidated and combined financial statements.

References to the financial statements refer to our condensed consolidated and combined financial statements as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, and for the three months endedMarch 31, 2018 and 2017. References to the balance sheets refer to our condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017. References to the statements of operations refer to our condensed consolidated and combined statements of operations for the three months endedMarch 31, 2018 and 2017. References to the statements of cash flows refer to our condensed consolidated and combined statements of cash flows for the three months endedMarch 31, 2018 and 2017.

Business Combinations Policy [Policy Text Block]

JBG SMITH and the Vornado Included Assets were under common control of Vornado for all periods prior to the Separation. The transfer of the Vornado Included Assets from Vornado to JBG SMITH was completed prior to the Separation, at net book values (historical carrying amounts) carved out from Vornado’s books and records. For purposes of the formation of JBG SMITH, the Vornado Included Assets were designated as the predecessor and the accounting acquirer of the JBG Assets. Consequently, the financial statements of JBG SMITH, as set forth herein, represent a continuation of the financial information of the Vornado Included Assets as the predecessor and accounting acquirer such that the historical financial information included herein as of any date or for any periods on or prior to the completion of the Combination represents the pre-Combination financial information of the Vornado Included Assets. The financial statements reflect the common shares as of the date of the Separation as outstanding for all periods prior to July 17, 2017. The acquisition of the JBG Assets completed subsequently by JBG SMITH was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method whereby identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at the acquisition-date fair values and income and cash flows from the operations were consolidated into the financial statements of JBG SMITH commencing July 18, 2017. Consequently, the financial statements for the periods before and after the Formation Transaction are not directly comparable.

The accompanying statements of operations for the three months endedMarch 31, 2018 include our consolidated accounts. The accompanying financial statements for the three months endedMarch 31, 2017 include the Vornado Included Assets. Therefore, our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition set forth in this report are 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 allocated by the former parent, which 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. See Note 15 for additional information.

Reclassification, Policy [Policy Text Block]

For the three months endedMarch 31, 2017, we reclassified $4.7 million of expenses to "General and administrative: third-party real estate services" from "Property operating expenses" and "General and administrative: corporate and other" as it relates to expenses incurred to provide third-party real estate services. Additionally, we reclassified $4.2 million of income for the three months endedMarch 31, 2017 to "Third-party real estate services, including reimbursements" from "Other income" as it relates to revenue earned from providing third-party real estate services.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block]

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. The most significant of these estimates include: (i) the underlying cash flows used to establish the fair values recorded in connection with the Combination and used in assessing impairment and (ii) the determination of useful lives for tangible and intangible assets. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block]

The following table provides a brief description of recent accounting pronouncements by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") that could have a material effect on our financial statements:

Standard	Description	Date of Adoption	Effect on the Financial Statements or Other Significant Matters
Standard adopted
ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), as clarified and amended by ASU 2016-08, ASU 2016-10 and ASU 2016-12	This standard establishes a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most of the existing revenue recognition guidance. It requires an entity to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services and also requires certain additional disclosures.	January 2018	We utilized the modified retrospective method of adoption. The standard excludes from its scope the areas of accounting that most significantly affect our revenue recognition, including accounting for leases and financial instruments. Our evaluation determined there were no required changes to our recognition of revenue related to our third-party real estate services, tenant reimbursements, property and asset management fees, or transactional/management fees for leasing, development and construction. Our evaluation also determined there were no required changes to our recognition of promote fees and dispositions of real estate properties as we did not have any deferred gains due to continuing involvement at the time of adoption. Therefore, the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our financial statements. We adopted the practical expedient of this standard to only assess the recognition of revenue for open contracts at the date of adoption and there was no adjustment to the opening balance of our accumulated deficit at January 1, 2018. The comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for that period.

Standard	Description	Date of Adoption	Effect on the Financial Statements or Other Significant Matters
Standard not yet adopted
ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), as clarified and amended by ASU 2018-01	This standard establishes principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both lessees and lessors. ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase. Lessees are required to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term of greater than 12 months. Leases with a term of 12 months or less will be accounted for similar to existing guidance for operating leases. Lessees will recognize expense based on the effective interest method for finance leases or on a straight-line basis for operating leases. The ASU also clarifies that an assessment of whether a land easement meets the definition of a lease under the new lease standard is required. The provisions of this standard are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and should be applied through a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements.	January 2019	We are currently evaluating the overall impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-02 on our financial statements, including the timing of adopting this standard. ASU 2016-02 will more significantly impact the accounting for leases in which we are the lessee. We have ground leases for which we will be required to record a right-of-use asset and lease liability equal to the present value of the remaining minimum lease payments upon adoption of this standard. As of March 31, 2018, future ground lease payments totaled $574.8 million to which we would apply a discount rate. We are in the process of determining an appropriate discount rate. Under ASU 2016-02, initial direct costs for both lessees and lessors would include only those costs that are incremental to the arrangement and would not have been incurred if the lease had not been obtained. As a result, we may no longer be able to capitalize internal leasing costs and instead may be required to expense these costs as incurred. Capitalized internal leasing costs were $1.3 million and $532,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017.
