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, D.C. 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 September 30, 2018, we, as its sole general partner, controlled JBG SMITH LP and owned 87.8% 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, D.C. metropolitan area that have high barriers to entry and key urban amenities, including being within walking distance of a Metro station. 
As of September 30, 2018, our Operating Portfolio consists of 65 operating assets comprising 46 office assets totaling approximately 13.0 million square feet (11.5 million square feet at our share), 15 multifamily assets totaling 6,307 units (4,523 units at our share) and four other assets totaling approximately 806,000 square feet (352,000 square feet at our share). Additionally, we have (i) seven assets under construction comprising three office assets totaling approximately 778,000 square feet (546,000 square feet at our share) and four multifamily assets totaling 1,476 units (1,284 units at our share); and (ii) 43 future development assets totaling approximately 22.4 million square feet (19.0 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 and nine months ended September 30, 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 5 for additional information on our VIEs. The portions of the equity and net income of consolidated subsidiaries that are not attributable to JBG SMITH are presented separately as amounts attributable to noncontrolling interests in our condensed consolidated and combined financial statements.
References to the financial statements refer to our condensed consolidated and combined financial statements as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017. References to the balance sheets refer to our condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017. References to the statements of operations refer to our condensed consolidated and combined statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017. References to the statements of cash flows refer to our condensed consolidated and combined statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 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 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 financial statements as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 include our consolidated accounts. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 reflect the aggregate operations and changes in cash flows and equity on a combined basis for all periods prior to July 17, 2017 and on a consolidated basis for all periods subsequent to July 17, 2017. Therefore, our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition set forth in this report for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 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 16 for additional information.
The following pro forma information for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 is presented as if the Formation Transaction had occurred on January 1, 2016. This pro forma information is based upon historical financial statements, adjusted for certain factually supported items directly related to the Formation Transaction. 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 $104.1 million and $115.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017

The total revenue of the JBG Assets for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 included in our statements of operations from the acquisition date was $34.9 million. The net loss from the JBG Assets for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 included in our statements of operations from the acquisition date was $7.8 million.

The Combination resulted in a gain on bargain purchase of $27.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 because the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired exceeded the purchase consideration. During the fourth quarter of 2017, this gain was reduced by $3.4 million. As a result of finalizing our fair value estimates used in the purchase price allocation related to the Combination, during the three months ended June 30, 2018, we adjusted the fair value of certain assets acquired and liabilities assumed consisting of a decrease of $468,000 to investments in and advances to unconsolidated real estate ventures, an increase of $4.7 million to lease assumption liabilities and an increase of $2.4 million to other liabilities acquired, resulting in a reduction of the gain on bargain purchase of $7.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.
Income Taxes
We have elected 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.
