JBG SMITH Properties Revenue Disclosure

Revenue Recognition

We have leases with various tenants across our portfolio of properties, which generate rental income and operating cash flows for our benefit. Through these leases, we provide tenants with the right to control the use of our real estate, which tenants agree to use and control. The right to control our real estate conveys to our tenants substantially all of the economic benefits and the right to direct how and for what purpose the real estate is used throughout the period of use, thereby meeting the definition of a lease. Leases will be classified as either operating, sales-type or direct financing leases based on whether the lease is structured in effect as a financed purchase.

Property rental revenue includes base rent each tenant pays in accordance with the terms of its respective lease and is reported on a straight-line basis over the non-cancellable term of the lease, which includes the effects of periodic step-ups in rent and rent abatements under the lease. When a renewal option is included within the lease, we assess whether the option is reasonably certain of being exercised against relevant economic factors to determine whether the option period should be included as part of the lease term. Further, property rental revenue includes tenant reimbursement revenue from the recovery of all or a portion of the real estate taxes, property operating expenses, and repairs and maintenance of the respective assets. Tenant reimbursements, which vary each period, are non-lease components that are not the predominant activity within the contract. We have elected the practical expedient that allows us to combine certain lease and non-lease components of our operating leases. Non-lease components are recognized together with fixed base rent in property rental revenue, as variable lease income in the same periods as the related expenses are incurred. Certain commercial leases may also provide for the payment by the lessee of additional rents based on a percentage of sales, which are recorded as variable lease income in the period the additional rents are earned.

We commence rental revenue recognition when the tenant takes possession of the leased space or controls the physical use of the leased space and when the leased space is substantially ready for its intended use. In circumstances where we provide a tenant improvement allowance for improvements that are owned by the tenant, we recognize the allowance as a reduction of property rental revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease commencing when the tenant takes possession of the space. Differences between rental revenue recognized and amounts due under the respective lease agreements are recorded as an increase or decrease to deferred rent receivable in our consolidated balance sheets. Property rental revenue also includes the amortization or accretion of acquired above- and below-market leases. We periodically evaluate the collectability of amounts due from tenants and recognize an adjustment to property rental revenue for accounts receivable and deferred rent receivable if we conclude it is not probable that we will collect substantially all of the remaining lease payments under the lease agreements. Any changes to the provision for lease revenue determined to be not probable of collection are included in property rental revenue in our consolidated statements of operations. We exercise judgment in assessing the probability of collection and consider payment history, current credit status and economic outlook in making this determination.

Third-party real estate services revenue, including reimbursements, includes property and asset management fees, and transactional fees for leasing, acquisition, development and construction, financing, and legal services which are earned from providing services to third-party property owners and our unconsolidated real estate ventures. These fees are determined in accordance with the terms specific to each arrangement and are recognized as the related services are performed.
