ASU 2015-03 is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2015, early adoption is permitted and retrospective application is required.

ASU 2014-09 does not apply to our lease revenues, but will apply to reimbursed tenant costs and revenues generated from our operating properties and our Investment Management business. Additionally, this guidance modifies disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a proposed ASU to defer the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year. In July 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board affirmed its proposal to defer the effective date of the new revenue standard for all entities by one year and directed the staff to draft a final ASU for vote by written ballot. Upon issuance of the final ASU deferring the effective date, ASU 2014-09 will be effective beginning in 2018, and early adoption is permitted but not before 2017, the original public company effective date.</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#3c3c3d;"> </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2014-09 on our consolidated financial statements and have not yet determined the method by which we will adopt the standard.</font></div></div>

As a REIT, we are not generally subject to United States federal income taxation other than from our TRSs as long as we satisfy certain requirements, principally relating to the nature of our income and the level of our distributions, as well as other factors. We hold all of our real estate assets attributable to our Real Estate Ownership segment under the REIT structure, while the activities conducted by our Investment Management segment subsidiaries have been organized under TRSs.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Reportable Segments</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Real Estate Ownership</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> — We own and invest in commercial properties principally in the United States, Europe, and Asia that are then leased to companies, primarily on a triple-net lease basis. We have also invested in several operating properties, such as lodging and self-storage properties. We earn lease revenues from our wholly-owned and co-owned real estate investments that we control. In addition, we generate equity income through co-owned real estate investments that we do not control and through our ownership of shares of the Managed REITs (</font><a style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;" href="#sE6C9EBA786C359FBB58E3CAC47212018"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Note 8</font></a><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">).

At </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">June 30, 2015</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, our owned portfolio was comprised of our full or partial ownership interests in </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">852</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> properties, substantially all of which were net leased to </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">217</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> tenants, with an occupancy rate of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">98.6%</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, and totaled approximately </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">89.3 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> square feet. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Investment Management</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> — Through our TRSs, we structure and negotiate investments and debt placement transactions for the Managed REITs, for which we earn structuring revenue, and manage their portfolios of real estate investments, for which we earn asset-based management revenue. We earn disposition revenue when we negotiate and structure the sale of properties on behalf of the Managed REITs, and we may also earn incentive revenue and receive other compensation in connection with providing liquidity events for the Managed REITs’ stockholders.

Substantially all of these properties, totaling approximately </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">47.3 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> square feet, were net leased to </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">192</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> tenants, with an average occupancy rate of approximately </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">99.9%</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">. The Managed REITs also had interests in </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">149</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> operating properties for an aggregate of approximately </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">17.1 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> square feet at </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">June 30, 2015</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">. We have begun to explore alternatives for expanding our investment management operations by raising funds beyond advising the existing Managed REITs. Any such expansion could involve the purchase of properties or other investments as principal, either for our owned portfolio or with the intention of transferring such investments to a newly-created fund, as well as the sponsorship of one or more funds to make investments other than primarily net lease investments, such as the CWI REITs and the Managed BDCs. These new funds could invest primarily in assets other than net-lease real estate and could include funds raised through private placements or publicly-traded vehicles, either in the United States or internationally.</font></div></div>
