Organization and Business

As used in these consolidated financial statements, unless otherwise indicated, all references to “we,” “us,” “our,” the “Company,” and “Paramount” refer to Paramount Group, Inc., a Maryland corporation, and its consolidated subsidiaries, including Paramount Group Operating Partnership LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”). We are a fully-integrated real estate investment trust (“REIT”) focused on owning, operating, managing, acquiring and redeveloping high-quality, Class A office properties in select central business district submarkets of New York City and San Francisco. We conduct our business through, and substantially all of our interests in properties and investments are held by, the Operating Partnership. We are the sole general partner of, and owned approximately 91.6% of, the Operating Partnership as of March 31, 2024.

As of March 31, 2024, we owned and/or managed a portfolio of 18 properties aggregating 13.8 million square feet comprised of:

•

Eight wholly and partially owned Class A properties aggregating 8.7 million square feet in New York, comprised of 8.2 million square feet of office space and 0.5 million square feet of retail and theater space;

•

Six wholly and partially owned Class A properties aggregating 4.3 million square feet in San Francisco, comprised of 4.1 million square feet of office space and 0.2 million square feet of retail space; and

•

Four managed properties aggregating 0.8 million square feet in New York and Washington, D.C.

Additionally, we have an investment management business, where we serve as the general partner of several real estate related funds for institutional investors and high net-worth individuals.

Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in conjunction with the instructions to Form 10-Q of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements have been condensed or omitted. These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Paramount and its consolidated subsidiaries, including the Operating Partnership. In the opinion of management, all significant adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) and eliminations (which include intercompany balances and transactions) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and changes in cash flows have been made. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023 was derived from audited financial statements as of that date but does not include all information and disclosures required by GAAP. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, as filed with the SEC.

Significant Accounting Policies

There are no material changes to our significant accounting policies as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Use of Estimates

We have made estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year. Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-05, an update to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805, Business Combinations. ASU 2023-05 clarifies existing guidance by requiring a joint venture to recognize and initially measure assets contributed and liabilities assumed at fair value, upon its formation in the joint venture’s separate financial statements. These amendments are effective prospectively for all joint venture formations with a formation date on or after January 1, 2025, with early adoption permitted. We will apply the provisions of ASU 2023-05 to new joint ventures, as applicable, but do not believe the adoption of ASU 2023-05 will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, an update to ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting. ASU 2023-07 enhances the segment reporting by requiring disclosures of (i) the significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the CODM and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss, (ii) the composition of the other segment items, including the nature and type of the other segment items, and (iii) the title and position of the CODM. ASU 2023-07 is effective for our year ending December 31, 2024 and for our interim periods that begin on January 1, 2025, with early adoption permitted. We are evaluating the impact of ASU 2023-07 on our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2024, the SEC issued final rules on the enhancement and standardization of climate-related disclosures, and in April 2024, as a result of pending legal challenges, the SEC voluntarily stayed the new rules. The rules require disclosures relating to (i) material climate-related risks, (ii) governance and management of such risks and (iii) greenhouse gas emissions. Additionally, the rules require disclosure of the effects of severe weather events and other natural conditions, subject to certain materiality thresholds, in the notes to the financial statements. The requirements in the rule will be phased in starting with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2025. We are evaluating the impact of the new rules on our consolidated financial statements and the related disclosures.

Consolidated Real Estate Related Funds

Real Estate Related Fund Investments (Fund X)

We are the general partner and investment manager of Fund X and own a 13.0% interest. The following table sets forth the details of income or loss from real estate related fund investments for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.

Residential Development Fund (“RDF”)

We are also the general partner of RDF in which we own a 7.4% interest. RDF owns a 35.0% interest in One Steuart Lane, a for-sale residential condominium project, in San Francisco, California.

RDF accounts for its 35.0% interest in One Steuart Lane under the equity method of accounting. Accordingly, our economic interest in One Steuart Lane (based on our 7.4% ownership interest in RDF) is 2.6%. See Note 5, Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures.

Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures

On March 29, 2024, the joint venture that owns 60 Wall Street, in which we have a 5.0% ownership interest, modified the existing $575,000,000 mortgage loan and extended the maturity to May 2029. In connection with the modification, the loan was split into (i) a $316,250,000 A-Note that bears interest at Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus 245 basis points, of which 4.0% is current pay and the remaining is accrued, and (ii) a $258,750,000 B-Note that accrues interest at 12.0%. The joint venture plans to redevelop the property and all amounts funded by the joint venture will be senior to the B-Note and all accrued interest.

(1)

At March 31, 2024, our basis in the joint ventures that own 712 Fifth Avenue, Market Center and 111 Sutter Street was negative. Since we have no further obligation to fund additional capital to these joint ventures, we have discontinued the equity method of accounting, and accordingly, we no longer recognize our proportionate share of earnings. Instead, we recognize income only to the extent we receive cash distributions from the joint ventures and recognize losses to the extent we make cash contributions to the joint ventures.

(2)

As of March 31, 2024, the carrying amount of our investments in 55 Second Street, 1600 Broadway, One Steuart Lane and Oder-Center, Germany was greater than our share of equity in these investments by $461, $303, $570 and $4,212, respectively, and primarily represents the unamortized portion of our capitalized acquisition costs.

(3)

As a result of the joint venture’s commitment to fund the development costs related to the project in connection with the modification and extension of the mortgage loan, we resumed the equity method of accounting and recognized all losses that were previously deferred.

(4)

Represents RDF’s economic interest in One Steuart Lane, a for-sale residential condominium project. Our economic interest in One Steuart Lane (based on our 7.4% ownership interest in RDF) is 2.6%.

Debt

On February 1, 2024, we, together with our joint venture partner, modified and extended the existing mortgage loan at One Market Plaza, a 1.6 million square-foot two-building trophy asset in San Francisco, California. The existing $975,000,000 loan, which bore interest at a fixed rate of 4.03%, was scheduled to mature on February 6, 2024. In connection with the modification, the loan balance was reduced to $850,000,000, following a $125,000,000 paydown by the joint venture, of which our 49.0% share was $61,250,000. The modified loan bears interest at a fixed rate of 4.08%, matures in February 2027 and has an option to extend for an additional year, subject to certain conditions.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

On July 29, 2021, in connection with the $860,000,000 refinancing of 1301 Avenue of the Americas, we had entered into interest rate swap agreements with an aggregate notional amount of $500,000,000 to fix LIBOR at 0.46% through August 2024. On June 16, 2023, we amended the swap agreements to replace LIBOR with SOFR, effective July 7, 2023. We also entered into interest rate cap agreements with an aggregate notional amount of $360,000,000 to cap LIBOR at 2.00% which expired in August 2023. Upon expiration of these agreements, we entered into new interest rate cap agreements for the same notional amount to cap SOFR at 4.50% through August 2024. These interest rate swaps and interest rate caps are designated as cash flow hedges and therefore changes in their fair values are recognized in other comprehensive income or loss (outside of earnings). We recognized other comprehensive loss of $4,687,000 and $8,390,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, from the changes in the fair value of these derivative financial instruments. See Note 10, Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. During the next twelve months, we estimate that $8,561,000 of the amounts to be recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income will be reclassified as a decrease to interest expense.

The tables below provide additional details on our interest rate swaps and interest rate caps that are designated as cash flow hedges.

Stock Repurchase Program

On November 5, 2019, we received authorization from our board of directors to repurchase up to $200,000,000 of our common stock, from time to time, in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. As of December 31, 2023, we had repurchased a total of 24,183,768 common shares at a weighted average price of $7.65 per share, or $185,000,000 in the aggregate. We did not repurchase any shares in the three months ended March 31, 2024. The amount and timing of future repurchases, if any, will depend on a number of factors, including, the price and availability of our shares, trading volume, general market conditions and available funding.

Noncontrolling Interests

Consolidated Joint Ventures

Noncontrolling interests in consolidated joint ventures consist of equity interests held by third parties in 1633 Broadway, One Market Plaza and 300 Mission Street. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, noncontrolling interests in our consolidated joint ventures aggregated $480,542,000 and $413,925,000, respectively.

Consolidated Real Estate Related Funds

Noncontrolling interests in our consolidated real estate related funds consist of equity interests held by third parties in our Residential Development Fund and Fund X. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the noncontrolling interests in our consolidated real estate related funds aggregated $103,886,000 and $110,589,000, respectively.

Operating Partnership

Noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership represent common units of the Operating Partnership that are held by third parties, including management, and units issued to management under equity incentive plans. Common units of the Operating Partnership may be tendered for redemption to the Operating Partnership for cash. We, at our option, may assume that obligation and pay the holder either cash or common shares on a one-for-one basis. Since the number of common shares outstanding is equal to the number of common units owned by us, the redemption value of each common unit is equal to the market value of each common share and distributions paid to each common unitholder is equivalent to dividends paid to common stockholders. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership on our consolidated balance sheets had a carrying amount of $295,183,000 and $287,089,000, respectively, and a redemption value of $93,966,000 and $100,650,000, respectively, based on the closing share price of our common stock on the New York Stock Exchange at the end of each period.

Variable Interest Entities (“VIEs”)

In the normal course of business, we are the general partner of various types of investment vehicles, which may be considered VIEs. We may, from time to time, own equity or debt securities through vehicles, each of which are considered variable interests. Our involvement in financing the operations of the VIEs is generally limited to our investments in the entity. We consolidate these entities when we are deemed to be the primary beneficiary.

Consolidated VIEs

We are the sole general partner of, and owned approximately 91.6% of, the Operating Partnership as of March 31, 2024. The Operating Partnership is considered a VIE and is consolidated in our consolidated financial statements. Since we conduct our business through and substantially all of our interests are held by the Operating Partnership, the assets and liabilities on our consolidated financial statements represent the assets and liabilities of the Operating Partnership. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Operating Partnership held interests in consolidated VIEs owning properties and real estate related funds that were determined to be VIEs. The assets of these consolidated VIEs may only be used to settle the obligations of the entities and such obligations are secured only by the assets of the entities and are non-recourse to the Operating Partnership or us.

Leases

We lease office, retail and storage space to tenants, primarily under non-cancellable operating leases which generally have terms ranging from five to fifteen years. Most of our leases provide tenants with extension options at either fixed or market rates and few of our leases provide tenants with options to early terminate, but such options generally impose an economic penalty on the tenant upon exercising. Rental revenue is recognized in accordance with ASC Topic 842, Leases, and includes (i) fixed payments of cash rents, which represent revenue each tenant pays in accordance with the terms of its respective lease and that is recognized on a straight-line basis over the non-cancellable term of the lease, and includes the effects of rent steps and rent abatements under the leases, (ii) variable payments of tenant reimbursements, which are recoveries of all or a portion of the operating expenses and real estate taxes of the property and are recognized in the same period as the expenses are incurred, (iii) amortization of acquired above and below-market leases, net and (iv) lease termination income.

Incentive Compensation

Stock-Based Compensation

Our Amended and Restated 2014 Equity Incentive Plan provides for grants of equity awards to our executive officers, non-employee directors and employees in order to attract and motivate talent for which we compete. In addition, equity awards are an effective management retention tool as they vest over multiple years based on continued employment. Equity awards are granted in the form of (i) restricted stock and (ii) long-term incentive plan (“LTIP”) units, which represent a class of partnership interests in our Operating Partnership and are typically comprised of Time-Based LTIP units, Performance-Based LTIP units, Time-Based Appreciation Only LTIP units and Performance-Based Appreciation Only LTIP units. We account for all stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. We recognized stock-based compensation expense of $6,194,000 and $5,117,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, related to awards granted in prior periods.

Completion of the 2021 Performance-Based Awards Program (“2021 Performance Program”)

The three-year performance measurement period with respect to our 2021 Performance Program ended on December 31, 2023. On January 30, 2024, the Compensation Committee determined that (i) our TSR ranked in the 25th percentile amongst the TSR of our New York City office REIT peers and (ii) our TSR ranked in the 40th percentile amongst the performance of the SNL U.S. Office REIT Index constituents, resulting in a payout of approximately 34.6% of the LTIP units granted. Additionally, in accordance with the 2021 Performance Program, the final payout was reduced by 30.0% since our TSR was negative over the three-year performance measurement period. Accordingly, only 409,046, or 24.2% of the LTIP units that were granted under the 2021 Performance Program, were earned. Of the LTIP units that were earned, 204,727 LTIP units vested immediately on January 30, 2024 and the remaining 204,319 LTIP units will vest on December 31, 2024. This award had a grant date fair value of $7,303,000 and a remaining unrecognized compensation cost of $589,000 as of March 31, 2024, which will be amortized into expense over a weighted-average period of 0.8 years.

Commitments and Contingencies

Insurance

We carry commercial general liability coverage on our properties, with limits of liability customary within the industry. Similarly, we are insured against the risk of direct and indirect physical damage to our properties including coverage for the perils such as floods, earthquakes and windstorms. Our policies also cover the loss of rental income during an estimated reconstruction period. Our policies reflect limits and deductibles customary in the industry and specific to the buildings and portfolio. We also obtain title insurance policies when acquiring new properties. We currently have coverage for losses incurred in connection with both domestic and foreign terrorist-related activities, as well as cybersecurity incidents. While we do carry commercial general liability insurance, property insurance, terrorism insurance and cybersecurity insurance, these policies include limits and terms we consider commercially reasonable. In addition, there are certain losses (including, but not limited to, losses arising from known environmental conditions or acts of war) that are not insured, in full or in part, because they are either uninsurable or the cost of insurance makes it, in our belief, economically impractical to maintain such coverage. Should an uninsured loss arise against us, we would be required to use our own funds to resolve the issue, including litigation costs. We believe the policy specifications and insured limits are adequate given the relative risk of loss, the cost of the coverage and industry practice and, in consultation with our insurance advisors, we believe the properties in our portfolio are adequately insured.

Other Commitments and Contingencies

We are a party to various claims and routine litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. Some of these claims or others to which we may be subject from time to time may result in defense costs, settlements, fines or judgments against us, some of which are not, or cannot be, covered by insurance. Payment of any such costs, settlements, fines or judgments that are not insured could have an adverse impact on our financial position and results of operations. Should any litigation arise, we would contest it vigorously. In addition, certain litigation or the resolution of certain litigation may affect the availability or cost of some of our insurance coverage, which could adversely impact our results of operations and cash flow, expose us to increased risks that would be uninsured, and/or adversely impact our ability to attract officers and directors.

The terms of our consolidated mortgage debt agreements in place include certain restrictions and covenants which may limit, among other things, certain investments, the incurrence of additional indebtedness and liens and the disposition or other transfer of assets and interests in the borrower and other credit parties, and require compliance with certain debt yield, debt service coverage and loan to value ratios. In addition, our revolving credit facility contains representations, warranties, covenants, other agreements and events of default customary for agreements of this type with comparable companies. As of March 31, 2024, we believe we are in compliance with all of our covenants.

On March 29, 2024, the joint venture that owns 60 Wall Street, in which we have a 5.0% ownership interest, modified the existing $575,000,000 mortgage loan and extended the maturity to May 2029. In connection with the modification, the joint venture committed to redevelop the property and fund the necessary costs to complete the project. On behalf of the joint venture, we have provided the lender with certain guarantees, including a completion guarantee. We have agreements with our joint venture partners that indemnify us for their share of guarantees we provided. In accordance with GAAP, we are required to record a liability equal to the fair value of the obligations undertaken in issuing the guarantees and record an asset equal to the fair value of the indemnification we have received. As of March 31, 2024, we have recorded a $10,041,000 asset and a $10,255,000 liability, which is included as a component of “other assets” and “other liabilities”, respectively, on our consolidated balance sheet.

Transfer Tax Assessments

During 2017, the New York City Department of Finance (“NYCDOF”) issued Notices of Determination (“Notices”) assessing additional transfer taxes (including interest and penalties) in connection with the transfer of interests in certain properties during our 2014 initial public offering (“IPO”). We disagreed with the assessment and strongly contested the Notices. While we estimated that the range of loss from these Notices could be between $0 and $62,500,000, we concluded, after consultation with legal counsel, that it was not possible to predict any estimate within that range and as such we did not accrue any liability in our consolidated financial statements for potential losses that may arise relating to such Notices. In February 2024, the NYCDOF completed its assessment and concluded that no additional taxes were due.

Segments

Our reportable segments are separated by region, based on the two regions in which we conduct our business: New York and San Francisco. Our determination of segments is aligned with our method of internal reporting and the way our Chief Executive Officer, who is also our Chief Operating Decision Maker, makes key operating decisions, evaluates financial results and manages our business.

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

(1)

Excludes NOI from One Steuart Lane, a for-sale residential condominium project, and non-core assets (Market Center and 111 Sutter Street).

(2)

NOI is used to measure the operating performance of our properties. NOI consists of rental revenue (which includes property rentals, tenant reimbursements and lease termination income) and certain other property-related revenue less operating expenses (which includes property-related expenses such as cleaning, security, repairs and maintenance, utilities, property administration and real estate taxes). We use NOI internally as a performance measure and believe it provides useful information to investors regarding our financial condition and results of operations because it reflects only those income and expense items that are incurred at the property level. Other real estate companies may use different methodologies for calculating NOI and, accordingly, our presentation of NOI may not be comparable to other real estate companies.

Recently Issued Accounting Literature

A summary of our recently issued accounting literature and their potential impact on our consolidated financial statements, if any, are included in Note 2, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies, to our consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Business Overview

We are a fully-integrated REIT focused on owning, operating, managing, acquiring and redeveloping high-quality, Class A office properties in select central business district submarkets of New York City and San Francisco. We conduct our business through, and substantially all of our interests in properties and investments are held by, Paramount Group Operating Partnership LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”). We are the sole general partner of, and owned approximately 91.6% of, the Operating Partnership as of March 31, 2024.

As of March 31, 2024, we owned and/or managed a portfolio of 18 properties aggregating 13.8 million square feet comprised of:

•

Four managed properties aggregating 0.8 million square feet in New York and Washington, D.C.

Additionally, we have an investment management business, where we serve as the general partner of several real estate related funds for institutional investors and high net-worth individuals.

Financing

On March 29, 2024, the joint venture that owns 60 Wall Street, in which we have a 5.0% ownership interest, modified the existing $575,000,000 mortgage loan and extended the maturity to May 2029. In connection with the modification, the loan was split into (i) a $316,250,000 A-Note that bears interest at Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus 245 basis points, of which 4.0% is current pay and the remaining is accrued, and (ii) a $258,750,000 B-Note that accrues interest at 12.0%. The joint venture plans to redevelop the property and all amounts funded by the joint venture will be senior to the B-Note and all accrued interest.

Leasing Results - Three Months Ended March 31, 2024

In the three months ended March 31, 2024, we leased 276,717 square feet, of which our share was 170,522 square feet that was leased at a weighted average initial rent of $68.82 per square foot. This leasing activity, offset by lease expirations in the three months, decreased leased occupancy by 120 basis points to 86.5% at March 31, 2024 from 87.7% at December 31, 2023. Same store leased occupancy decreased by 100 basis points to 89.1% at March 31, 2024 from 90.1% at December 31, 2023.

Of the 276,717 square feet leased in the three months ended March 31, 2024, 94,975 square feet represented our share of second generation space for which rental rates decreased by 17.7% on a GAAP basis and 4.1% on a cash basis. The rental rate decrease of 17.7% on a GAAP basis was driven primarily by a below-market lease adjustment in our San Francisco portfolio that was included in the prior GAAP rent. Excluding the below-market lease adjustment from the prior GAAP rent, the rental rate decrease on a GAAP basis would have been negative 2.2%. The weighted average lease term for leases signed during the three months was 7.9 years and weighted average tenant improvements and leasing commissions on these leases were $10.53 per square foot per annum, or 15.3% of initial rent.

New York

In the three months ended March 31, 2024, we leased 117,004 square feet in our New York portfolio, of which our share was 109,520 square feet that was leased at a weighted average initial rent of $69.27 per square foot. This leasing activity, offset by lease expirations in the three months, decreased leased occupancy and same store leased occupancy by 10 basis points to 90.1% at March 31, 2024 from 90.2% at December 31, 2023. Of the 117,004 square feet leased in the three months ended March 31, 2024, 33,973 square feet represented second generation space for which rental rates decreased by 0.5% on a GAAP basis and 0.1% on a cash basis. The weighted average lease term for leases signed during the three months was 11.4 years and weighted average tenant improvements and leasing commissions on these leases were $11.17 per square foot per annum, or 16.1% of initial rent.

San Francisco

In the three months ended March 31, 2024, we leased 159,713 square feet in our San Francisco portfolio, of which our share was 61,002 square feet that was leased at a weighted average initial rent of $68.00 per square foot. This leasing activity, offset by lease expirations in the three months, decreased leased occupancy by 400 basis points to 76.8% at March 31, 2024 from 80.8% at December 31, 2023. Same store leased occupancy and excluding the leased occupancy of Market Center and 111 Sutter Street decreased by 430 basis points to 85.5% at March 31, 2024 from 89.8% at December 31, 2023.

Of the 159,713 square feet leased in the three months, 61,002 square feet represented our share of second generation space for which rental rates decreased by 24.6% on a GAAP basis and decreased by 6.2% on a cash basis. The rental rate decrease of 17.7% on a GAAP basis was driven primarily by a below-market lease adjustment that was included in the prior GAAP rent. Excluding the below-market lease adjustment from the prior GAAP rent, the rental rate decrease on a GAAP basis would have been 3.1%. The weighted average lease term for leases signed during the three months was 1.8 years and weighted average tenant improvements and leasing commissions on these leases were $3.04 per square foot per annum, or 4.5% of initial rent.

(Loss) income from Real Estate Related Fund Investments

Loss from real estate related fund investments was $43,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to income of $3,550,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, a decrease in income of $3,593,000. This decrease resulted primarily from lower investment income in the current year.

Income (loss) from Unconsolidated Real Estate Related Funds

Income from unconsolidated real estate related funds was $105,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to loss of $178,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, an increase in income of $283,000. This increase resulted primarily from unrealized gains on mezzanine loan investments in the current year compared to unrealized losses in the prior year.

Loss from Unconsolidated Joint Ventures

Loss from unconsolidated joint ventures was $1,346,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to $5,762,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, a decrease in loss of $4,416,000. This decrease in loss resulted from:


(Amounts in thousands)
Higher income from One Steuart Lane	$	3,107	(1)
Other, net		1,309
Total decrease in loss	$	4,416

(1)

Primarily due to RDF’s share of gain on sale of residential condominium units at One Steuart Lane in the current year.

Interest and Other Income, net

Interest and other income, net was $19,420,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to $2,925,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, an increase in income of $16,495,000. This increase resulted primarily from:

Non-cash gain on extinguishment of IPO related transfer tax liability	$	15,437
Other, net (primarily higher yields on short-term investments)		1,058
Total increase in income	$	16,495

Interest and Debt Expense

Interest and debt expense was $40,269,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to $36,459,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, an increase of $3,810,000. This increase resulted primarily from higher interest expense on the variable rate portion of our debt at 1301 Avenue of the Americas.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense was $347,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to $288,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, an increase of $59,000.

Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Joint Ventures

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests in consolidated joint ventures was $5,206,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to $5,641,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, a $435,000 decrease in net income attributable to noncontrolling interests in consolidated joint ventures. This decrease in income resulted from lower net income attributable to noncontrolling interests in consolidated joint ventures.

Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Real Estate Related Funds

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests in consolidated real estate related funds was $762,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to $823,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, a decrease in net income attributable to noncontrolling interests in consolidated real estate related funds of $61,000. This decrease in income resulted from lower net income attributable to noncontrolling interests in Fund X, partially offset by Residential Development Fund’s share of gain on sale of residential condominium units at One Steuart Lane in the current year.

Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests in Operating Partnership

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership was $898,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to $121,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, an increase in net income allocated to noncontrolling interests of $777,000. This increase in income resulted from higher net income subject to allocation to the unitholders of the Operating Partnership in the current year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity

Our primary sources of liquidity include existing cash balances, cash flow from operations and borrowings available under our revolving credit facility. As of March 31, 2024, we had $1.20 billion of liquidity comprised of $276,235,000 of cash and cash equivalents, $171,776,000 of restricted cash and $750,000,000 of borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility.

We expect that these sources will provide adequate liquidity over the next 12 months for all anticipated needs, including scheduled principal and interest payments on our outstanding indebtedness, existing and anticipated capital improvements, the cost of securing new and renewal leases, dividends to stockholders and distributions to unitholders, and all other capital needs related to the operations of our business.

We anticipate that our long-term needs including debt maturities and potential acquisitions will be funded by operating cash flow, third-party joint venture capital, mortgage financings and/or re-financings, and the issuance of long-term debt or equity and cash on hand. Although we may be able to anticipate and plan for certain of our liquidity needs, unexpected increases in uses of cash that are beyond our control and which affect our financial condition and results of operations may arise, or our sources of liquidity may be fewer than, and the funds available from such sources may be less than, anticipated or required.

Consolidated Debt

As of March 31, 2024, our outstanding consolidated debt aggregated $3.69 billion. We had no amounts outstanding under our revolving credit facility and none of our debt matures until June 2026. We may refinance any of our maturing debt when it comes due or repay it early depending on prevailing market conditions, liquidity requirements and other factors. The amounts involved in connection with these transactions could be material to our consolidated financial statements.

Revolving Credit Facility

Our $750,000,000 revolving credit facility matures in March 2026 and has two six-month extension options. The interest rate on the facility is 135 basis points over SOFR with adjustments based on the terms of advances, plus a facility fee of 20 basis points. The facility also features a sustainability-linked pricing component such that if we meet certain sustainability performance targets, the applicable per annum interest rate will be reduced by one basis point. The facility contains certain restrictions and covenants that require us to maintain, on an ongoing basis, (i) a leverage ratio not to exceed 60%, which may be increased to 65% for any fiscal quarter in which an acquisition of real estate is completed, and for up to the next three subsequent consecutive fiscal quarters, (ii) a secured leverage ratio not to exceed 50%, (iii) a fixed coverage ratio of at least 1.50, (iv) an unsecured leverage ratio to not to exceed 60%, which may be increased to 65% for any fiscal quarter in which an acquisition of real estate is completed, and for up to the next three subsequent consecutive fiscal quarters and (v) an unencumbered interest coverage ratio of at least 1.75. The facility also contains customary representations and warranties, limitations on permitted investments and other covenants.

Dividend Policy

On March 15, 2024, we declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.035 per share of common stock for the first quarter ended March 31, 2024, which was paid on April 15, 2024 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on March 28, 2024. This dividend policy, if continued, would require us to pay out approximately $8,400,000 each quarter to common stockholders and unitholders.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of March 31, 2024, our unconsolidated joint ventures had $1.75 billion of outstanding indebtedness, of which our share was $629,681,000. We do not guarantee the indebtedness of our unconsolidated joint ventures other than providing customary environmental indemnities and guarantees of specified non-recourse carve outs relating to specified covenants and representations; however, we may elect to fund additional capital to a joint venture through equity contributions (generally on a basis proportionate to our ownership interests), advances or partner loans in order to enable the joint venture to repay this indebtedness upon maturity.

Stock Repurchase Program

Insurance

Other Commitments and Contingencies

On March 29, 2024, the joint venture that owns 60 Wall Street, in which we have a 5.0% ownership interest, modified the existing $575,000,000 mortgage loan and extended the maturity to May 2029. In connection with the modification, the joint venture committed to redevelop the property and fund the necessary costs to complete the project. On behalf of the joint venture, we have provided the lender with certain guarantees, including a completion guarantee. We have agreements with our joint venture partners that indemnify us for their share of guarantees we provided. In accordance with GAAP, we are required to record a liability equal to the fair value of the obligations undertaken in issuing the guarantees and record an asset equal to the fair value of the indemnification we have received. As of March 31, 2024, we have recorded a $10,041,000 asset and a $10,255,000 liability, which is included as a component of “other assets” and “other liabilities”, respectively, on our consolidated balance sheet.

Transfer Tax Assessments

During 2017, the New York City Department of Finance (“NYCDOF”) issued Notices of Determination (“Notices”) assessing additional transfer taxes (including interest and penalties) in connection with the transfer of interests in certain properties during our 2014 initial public offering. We disagreed with the assessment and strongly contested the Notices. While we estimated that the range of loss from these Notices could be between $0 and $62,500,000, we concluded, after consultation with legal counsel, that it was not possible to predict any estimate within that range and as such we did not accrue any liability in our consolidated financial statements for potential losses that may arise relating to such Notices. In February 2024, the NYCDOF completed its assessment and concluded that no additional taxes were due.

Cash Flows

Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash were $448,011,000 and $509,599,000 as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, and $510,975,000 and $449,817,000 as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash decreased by $61,588,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, and increased by $61,158,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We use and present NOI, Same Store NOI, FFO and Core FFO, as supplemental measures of our performance. The summary below describes our use of these measures, provides information regarding why we believe these measures are meaningful supplemental measures of our performance and reconciles these measures from net income or loss, the most directly comparable GAAP measure. Other real estate companies may use different methodologies for calculating these measures, and accordingly, our presentation of these measures may not be comparable to other real estate companies. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered a substitute for, and should only be considered together with and as a supplement to, financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. In the first quarter of 2024, we updated our presentation of NOI, Cash NOI and Core FFO attributable to common stockholders to exclude the impact of Market Center and 111 Sutter Street, which we have designated as non-core assets. Accordingly, we have recast the presentation for all prior periods presented to reflect this change.

Net Operating Income (“NOI”)

We use NOI to measure the operating performance of our properties. NOI consists of rental revenue (which includes property rentals, tenant reimbursements and lease termination income) and certain other property-related revenue less operating expenses (which includes property-related expenses such as cleaning, security, repairs and maintenance, utilities, property administration and real estate taxes). We also present Cash NOI, which deducts from NOI, straight-line rent adjustments and the amortization of above and below-market leases, including our share of such adjustments of unconsolidated joint ventures. In addition, we present Paramount’s share of NOI and Cash NOI, which represents our share of NOI and Cash NOI of consolidated and unconsolidated joint ventures, based on our percentage ownership in the underlying assets. We use NOI and Cash NOI internally as performance measures and believe they provide useful information to investors regarding our financial condition and results of operations because they reflect only those income and expense items that are incurred at the property level. The following tables present reconciliations of our net income or loss to Paramount's share of NOI and Cash NOI for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.

Funds from Operations (“FFO”) and Core Funds from Operations (“Core FFO”)

FFO is a supplemental measure of our performance. We present FFO in accordance with the definition adopted by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“Nareit”). Nareit defines FFO as net income or loss, calculated in accordance with GAAP, adjusted to exclude depreciation and amortization from real estate assets, impairment losses on certain real estate assets and gains or losses from the sale of certain real estate assets or from change in control of certain real estate assets, including our share of such adjustments of unconsolidated joint ventures. FFO is commonly used in the real estate industry to assist investors and analysts in comparing results of real estate companies because it excludes the effect of real estate depreciation and amortization and net gains on sales, which are based on historical costs and implicitly assume that the value of real estate diminishes predictably over time, rather than fluctuating based on existing market conditions. In addition, we present Core FFO as an alternative measure of our operating performance, which adjusts FFO for certain other items that we believe enhance the comparability of our FFO across periods. Core FFO, when applicable, excludes the impact of certain items, including, transaction related costs, realized and unrealized gains or losses on real estate related fund investments, unrealized gains or losses on interest rate swaps, severance costs, gains or losses on early extinguishment of debt and other non-core adjustments, in order to reflect the Core FFO of our real estate portfolio and operations. In future periods, we may also exclude other items from Core FFO that we believe may help investors compare our results.

FFO and Core FFO are presented as supplemental financial measures and do not fully represent our operating performance. Neither FFO nor Core FFO is intended to be a measure of cash flow or liquidity. Please refer to our consolidated financial statements, prepared in accordance with GAAP, for purposes of evaluating our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. The following table presents a reconciliation of net income to FFO and Core FFO for the periods set forth below.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and interest rates. Our future earnings, cash flows and fair values relevant to financial instruments are dependent upon prevalent market interest rates. Our primary market risk results from our indebtedness, which bears interest at both fixed and variable rates. We manage our market risk on variable rate debt by entering into interest rate swap agreements to fix the rate or interest rate cap agreements to limit exposure to increases in rates, on all or a portion of the debt for varying periods through maturity. This in turn, reduces the risks of variability of cash flows created by variable rate debt and mitigates the risk of increases in interest rates. Our objective when undertaking such arrangements is to reduce our floating rate exposure and we do not enter into hedging arrangements for speculative purposes. Subject to maintaining our status as a REIT for Federal income tax purposes, we may utilize swap arrangements in the future.

The following table summarizes our consolidated debt, the weighted average interest rates and the fair value as of March 31, 2024.
