  1. ORGANIZATION OF THE PARENT COMPANY AND THE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP

Brandywine Realty Trust (the “Parent Company”) is a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust (“REIT”) engaged in the acquisition, development, redevelopment, ownership, management, and operation of a portfolio of office and mixed-use properties. The Parent Company owns its assets and conducts its operations through Brandywine Operating Partnership, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”) and subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership. The Parent Company is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership and, as of June 30, 2024, owned a 99.7% interest in the Operating Partnership. The Parent Company’s common shares of beneficial interest (“common shares”) are publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “BDN.” The Parent Company, the Operating Partnership, and their consolidated subsidiaries are collectively referred to as the “Company.”

As of June 30, 2024, the Company owned and consolidated 72 properties that contained an aggregate of approximately 13.0 million net rentable square feet (collectively, the “Properties”). The Company’s core portfolio of operating properties (the “Core Properties”) exclude properties under development or redevelopment properties, recently completed - not stabilized properties, and properties held for sale.

The Properties7213,011,094

(a)The Company reclassifies a Property from “development/redevelopment property” to “recently completed – not-stabilized property” after the date that the development or redevelopment of the Property is placed in service and prior to the time that the Property reaches at least 90% occupy. At such time as the Property reaches at least 90% occupancy, the Company reclassifies the Property as a “Core Property.”

In addition to the Properties, as of June 30, 2024, the Company owned 141.6 acres of land held for development. The Company also held a leasehold interest inone land parcel totaling 0.8 acres, acquired through a prepaid 99-year ground lease, and held options to purchase approximately 5.1 additional acres of undeveloped land. As of June 30, 2024, the total potential development that this inventory of land could support under current zoning and entitlements, including the parcels under option, amounted to an estimated 12.1 million net rentable square feet.

As of June 30, 2024, the Company also owned economic interests inthirteen unconsolidated real estate ventures (see Note 4, “Investment in Unconsolidated Real Estate Ventures,” for further information). The Properties and the properties owned by the unconsolidated real estate ventures are primarily located in or near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Austin, Texas; Metropolitan Washington, D.C.; Southern New Jersey; and Wilmington, Delaware.

The Company conducts its third-party real estate management services business primarily through wholly-owned management company subsidiaries. As of June 30, 2024, the management company subsidiaries were managing properties containing an aggregate of approximately 22.3 million net rentable square feet, of which approximately 13.0 million net rentable square feet relate to Properties owned by the Company and approximately 9.3 million net rentable square feet relate to properties owned by the unconsolidated real estate ventures.

  1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial statements. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, all adjustments consist solely of normal recurring matters, and result in a fair statement of the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2024, the results of its operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 and its cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Parent Company’s and the Operating Partnership’s consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in their combined Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 filed with the SEC on February 22, 2024.

The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2023 has been derived from the audited financial statements as of that date but does not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 contains a discussion of the Company’s significant accounting policies under Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies”. There have been no material changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies since December 31, 2023.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. The estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to, the amount and timing of development/redevelopment costs and of Company obligations for such costs, including costs incurred through unconsolidated real estate ventures. The estimates and assumptions for development/redevelopment cost are highly judgmental, cover significant future time horizons and are sensitive to cost escalations, sales price escalations and timing and pricing of leasing activity, all of which may be affected by expectations about future market or economic conditions. Actual results could differ from these and other estimates.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280). The new standard requires enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses and other segment items and requires companies to disclose all annual disclosures about segments in interim periods. The new standard also permits companies to disclose more than one measure of segment profit or loss, requires disclosure of the title and position of the Chief Operating Decision Maker, and requires companies with a single reportable segment to provide all disclosures required by Topic 280. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted and companies are required to apply the ASU retrospectively to all periods presented. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this standard will have on its financial statements and related disclosures.

  1. REAL ESTATE INVESTMENTS

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the gross carrying value of the Properties, reflected in the line item “Operating properties” in the Company's consolidated balance sheets, was as follows (in thousands):

Tenant improvements479,773476,539
Total$3,546,602$3,542,232

Impairment

For the quarter ended June 30, 2024, the Company recognized impairment losses totaling $6.4 million on office properties located in the Austin, Texas segment. The resulting impairment charge reflects a shortened expected holding period for the properties and reduction in the carrying value of the properties to their estimated fair value based on a non-binding purchase offer for the properties from a third party, which is considered a Level 3 measurement, as defined in Accounting Standards Codification 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.”

  1. INVESTMENT IN UNCONSOLIDATED REAL ESTATE VENTURES

As of June 30, 2024, the Company held ownership interests inthirteen unconsolidated real estate ventures, with a net aggregate investment balance of $680.1 million.

In addition, certain acquisition, transaction and other costs may not be reflected in the net assets at the real estate venture level.

(b)Excludes amounts related to the Mid-Atlantic Office Venture, the Herndon Innovation Center Metro Portfolio Venture, LLC and the MAP Venture as the Company discontinued applying the equity method of accounting.

MAP Venture

On June 28, 2024, the Company recapitalizedone of its unconsolidated real estate ventures, referred to as the “MAP Venture,” in which the Company had a negative investment balance of $52.2 million as of March 31, 2024 and a 50% ownership interest. Through the recapitalization, the MAP Venture transferred, for $26.0 million,14 of the 57 properties in which it held ground lease interests to a newly-formed real estate venture, referred to below as the “KB JV,” owned equally between the Company and the ground lessor of the land on which all of the 57 properties are situated. The MAP Venture used substantially all of the proceeds it received from the transfer of the 14 properties to pay down its non-recourse mortgage loan to $154.6 million. Through the recapitalization of the MAP Venture, the Company redeemed the entire interest of its former partner in the MAP Venture for a nominal amount and reversed the Company’s negative investment balance tozero, resulting in a one-time, non-cash gain of$53.8 million. The non-recourse mortgage loan was amended as part of the pay-down, and, as amended, has a scheduled maturity date of March 1, 2027 (subject to mandatory pay downs as properties that remain owned by the MAP Venture are sold), bears interest at SOFR plus 2.75% and provides the lender with a 95% entitlement to residual proceeds, if any, after the mortgage loan has been repaid and after all obligations to the ground lessor have been satisfied. As of June 30, 2024, the Company's investment inthe new MAP Venture waszero, and the Company has discontinued applying the equity method of accounting on these assets as the Company has not guaranteed any of the obligations of the new MAP Venture or otherwise committed to funding any future losses.

KB JV

On June 28, 2024 as discussed above under “MAP Venture,” the Company formed a new joint venture, KB JV, LLC (the "KB JV") which acquired leasehold interests in 14 properties from the MAP Venture for $26.0 million. The 14 properties owned by the KB JV consist of an aggregate of 641,819 net rentable square feet and are located in Richmond, Virginia. The Company owns a 50% equity interest in the KB JV and the portfolio assets are unencumbered by third party debt. In connection with the formation of KB JV, KB JV loaned $13.0 million to the Company to fund the purchase of the 14 properties. The loan from KB JV is classified as“Unsecured term loan, net” on the consolidated balance sheet. If the properties are sold, Kawa, as fee owner, and KB JV as leasehold owner, have agreed to cause both the leasehold and fee interests in the portfolio to be sold.

Cira Square

On March 17, 2022, the Company formed a joint venture, Cira Square REIT, LLC (the “Cira Square Venture”), for the purpose of acquiring Cira Square, an office property located at 2970 Market Street in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania containing 862,692 net rentable square feet for a gross purchase price of $383.0 million. The Company owns a 20% equity interest in the Cira Square Venture and provided an initial capital contribution of $28.6 million on the closing date.

On the closing date, the Cira Square Venture obtained a $257.7 million non-recourse mortgage loan, which bore interest at 3.50% over one-month term SOFR per annum, and matured on April 1, 2024. On April 1, 2024, the Cira Square Venture received an extension on the loan to July 1, 2024. On May 6, 2024, the Cira Square Venture refinanced the loan through proceeds of a new $160.0 million non-recourse mortgage loan and a capital contribution by the Company and its partner in the aggregate amount of $96.9 million (of which the Company's share was $19.4 million).

  1. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Financial assets and liabilities recorded on the Company's consolidated balance sheets are categorized based on the inputs to the valuation techniques as follows:

Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access;

Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, which are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs may include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, as well as inputs that are observable for the asset or liability (other than quoted prices), such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals; and

Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, which is typically based on an entity’s own assumptions, as there is little, if any, related market activity or information.

The Company determined the fair values disclosed below using available market information and discounted cash flow analyses as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The discount rate used in calculating fair value is the sum of the current risk free rate and the risk premium on the date of measurement of the instruments or obligations. Considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data and to develop the related estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Company could realize upon disposition. The use of different estimates and valuation methodologies may have a material effect on the fair value amounts shown. The Company believes that the carrying amounts reflected in the consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 approximate the fair values for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other assets and liabilities, accounts payable and accrued expenses because they are short-term in duration. The following are financial instruments for which the Company’s estimates of fair value differ from the carrying amounts (in thousands):

The Company used quoted market prices as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 to value the unsecured notes payable and, as such, categorized them as Level 2.

The inputs utilized to determine the fair value of the Company’s variable rate debt are categorized as Level 3. The fair value of the variable rate debt was determined using a discounted cash flow model that considered borrowing rates available to the Company for loans with similar terms and characteristics.

The inputs utilized to determine fair value of the Company’s notes receivable are unobservable and, as such, were categorized as Level 3. Fair value was determined using a discounted cash flow model that considered the contractual interest and principal payments discounted at a blended interest rate of the notes receivable.

For the Company’s Level 3 financial instruments for which fair value is disclosed, an increase in the discount rate used to determine fair value would result in a decrease to the fair value. Conversely, a decrease in the discount rate would result in an increase to the fair value.

Disclosure about the fair value of financial instruments is based upon pertinent information available to management as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. Although management is not aware of any factors that would significantly affect the fair value amounts, such amounts were not comprehensively revalued for purposes of these financial statements since June 30, 2024. Current estimates of fair value may differ from the amounts presented herein.

  1. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The following table summarizes the terms and fair values of the Company’s derivative financial instruments as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The notional amounts provide an indication of the extent of the Company’s involvement in these instruments at that time, but do not represent exposure to credit, interest rate or market risks (amounts presented in thousands).

(a)Hedging unsecured variable rate debt.

The Company measures its derivative instruments at fair value and records them in “Other assets” and “Other liabilities” on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

Although the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with its derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by itself and its counterparties. The Company has assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions and has determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of its derivatives. As a result, the Company has determined that the inputs utilized to determine the fair value of derivative instruments are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

  1. LIMITED PARTNERS’ NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS IN THE PARENT COMPANY

Noncontrolling interests in the Parent Company’s financial statements relate to redeemable common limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership held by parties other than the Parent Company and properties which are consolidated but not wholly-owned by the Operating Partnership.

Operating Partnership

The aggregate book value of the noncontrolling interests associated with the redeemable common limited partnership units in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of the Parent Company was $3.9 million and $4.1 million as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Under the applicable accounting guidance, the redemption value of the redeemable common limited partnership units is carried at fair value. The aggregate settlement value of these units (based on the number of units outstanding and the average closing price of the common shares during the last five business days of the quarter ended June 30, 2024) was approximately $2.3 million and $2.8 million as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

Redeemable common limited partnership units totaling 515,595 and 516,467 at June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively, were excluded from the diluted earnings per share computations because they are not dilutive. The reduction in the number of outstanding common limited partnership units reflects the redemption for cash of 872 such units on December 19, 2023.

Unvested restricted shares are considered participating securities which require the use of the two-class method for the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, earnings representing nonforfeitable dividends as noted in the table above were allocated to the unvested restricted shares issued to the Company’s executives and other employees under the Company’s shareholder-approved long-term equity incentive plan.

Common Shares

On May 23, 2024, the Parent Company declared a distribution of $0.15 per common share, totaling $26.3 million, which was paid on July 18, 2024 to shareholders of record as of July 3, 2024.

The Parent Company maintains a common share repurchase program under which the Board of Trustees has authorized the Parent Company to repurchase its common shares. On January 3, 2019, the Board of Trustees authorized the repurchase of up to $150.0 million of the Company's common shares from and after January 3, 2019. During the six months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023, the Company didnot repurchase any common shares.

Net operating income (“NOI”) is a non-GAAP financial measure, which we define as total property revenue less property operating expenses, real estate taxes and third-party management expenses. Property operating expenses that are included in determining NOI consist of costs that are necessary and allocable to our operating properties such as utilities, property-level salaries, repairs and maintenance, property insurance and management fees. General and administrative expenses that are not reflected in NOI primarily consist of corporate-level salaries, amortization of share awards and professional fees that are incurred as part of corporate office management. NOI presented by the Company may not be comparable to NOI reported by other companies that define NOI differently. NOI is the primary measure that is used by the Company’s management to evaluate the operating performance of the Company’s real estate assets by segment. The Company believes NOI provides useful information to investors regarding the financial condition and results of operations because it reflects only those income and expense items that are incurred at the property level. While NOI is a relevant and widely used measure of operating performance of real estate investment trusts, it does not represent cash flow from operations or net income as defined by GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to those measures in evaluating our liquidity or operating performance. NOI does not reflect interest expenses, real estate impairment losses, depreciation and amortization costs, capital expenditures and leasing costs. The Company believes that net income (loss), as defined by GAAP, is the most appropriate earnings measure. The following is a reconciliation of consolidated net income (loss), as defined by GAAP, to consolidated NOI, (in thousands):

  1. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Legal Proceedings

The Company is involved from time to time in litigation on various matters, including disputes with tenants, vendors and disputes arising out of agreements to purchase or sell properties. Given the nature of the Company’s business activities, these lawsuits are considered routine to the conduct of its business. The result of any particular lawsuit cannot be predicted, because of the very nature of litigation, the litigation process and its adversarial nature, and the jury system. The Company will establish reserves for specific legal proceedings when it determines that the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome is probable and when the amount of loss is reasonably estimable. The Company does not expect that the liabilities, if any, that may ultimately result from such legal actions will have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

Environmental

As an owner of real estate, the Company is subject to various environmental laws of federal, state, and local governments. The Company’s compliance with existing laws has not had a material adverse effect on its financial condition and results of operations, and the Company does not believe it will have a material adverse effect in the future. However, the Company cannot predict the impact of unforeseen environmental contingencies or new or changed laws or regulations on its current Properties or on properties that the Company may acquire.

Debt Guarantees and Equity Funding Commitments

As of June 30, 2024, the Company’s unconsolidated real estate ventures had aggregate indebtedness of $967.7 million. These loans are generally mortgage loans or secured construction loans, most of which are nonrecourse to the Company, except for customary recourse carve-outs. In addition, during construction undertaken by the unconsolidated real estate ventures, including the 3025 JFK Venture, the 3151 Market Street Venture, and the One Uptown Ventures, the Company has provided, and expects to continue to provide, cost overrun and completion guarantees, as well as customary environmental indemnities and guarantees of customary exceptions to nonrecourse provisions in loan agreements.

In the agreement with its partner in the 3025 JFK Venture, the Company agreed to provide cost overrun and completion guarantees for the project under development. With respect to the construction loan obtained by 3025 JFK Venture on July 23, 2021, the Company also provided a carry guarantee and limited payment guarantee up to 25% of the principal balance of the $186.7 million construction loan. The Company expects that it will be required to fund $5.7 million of additional equity through the project completion date.

In the agreement with its partner in the 3151 Market Street Venture, the Company agreed to provide cost overrun and completion guaranties for the project under development. As of June 30, 2024, total estimated costs to develop 3151 Market Street are approximately $316.9 million and as of such date, the Company has fully funded its share of equity.

With respect to the One Uptown Ventures, the Company has provided completion guarantees and environmental indemnities in favor of its partner. In addition, the Company has provided completion guarantees, environmental indemnities and guarantees of exceptions to nonrecourse loan provisions in favor of the lenders for the One Uptown Ventures. Moreover, the Company has provided, in favor of the lenders, carry guarantees and limited payment guarantees up to 30% and 15% of the principal balance of the $121.7 million (office) and $85.0 million (multifamily) construction loans, respectively.

The Company has agreed, pursuant to the leasehold mortgage loan to the MAP Venture, to fund up to an additional $12 million for tenant and capital improvements of the properties owned (through leasehold interests) by the MAP Venture, which amounts, when funded, will accrue interest at 8.0% per annum.

Impact of Natural Disasters and Casualty

The Company carries liability insurance to mitigate its exposure to certain losses, including those relating to property damage. The Company records the estimated amount of expected insurance proceeds for property damage and other losses incurred as an asset (typically a receivable from the insurer) and income up to the amount of the losses incurred when receipt of insurance proceeds is deemed probable. Any amount of insurance recovery in excess of the amount of the losses is considered a gain contingency and is not recorded until the proceeds are received.

Other Commitments or Contingencies

In connection with the Schuylkill Yards Project, the Company entered into a neighborhood engagement program and, as of June 30, 2024, had $5.6 million of future fixed contractual obligations. The Company also committed to fund additional contributions under the program. As of June 30, 2024, the Company estimates that these additional contributions, which are not fixed under the terms of agreement, will be $2.1 million.

The Company has committed to contribute $15.0 million to a venture capital fund that invests in early-stage life science companies. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had funded $2.3 million of the foregoing commitment.

The Company invests in its properties and regularly incurs capital expenditures in the ordinary course of business to maintain the properties. The Company believes that such expenditures enhance its competitiveness. The Company also enters into construction, utility and service contracts in the ordinary course of business which may extend beyond one year. These contracts typically provide for cancellation with insignificant or no cancellation penalties.
