Third Quarter Net Loss Available for Common Shareholders of $0.4 Million

Third Quarter Normalized FFO Available for Common Shareholders of $53.0 Million or $0.53 Per Share

Third Quarter Same Property Cash Basis NOI Increased 2.0%

Completed 182,220 Square Feet of Leasing in the Third Quarter

Announced Agreement to Merge with Select Income REIT

Government Properties Income Trust (Nasdaq: GOV) today announced its financial results for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2018.

David Blackman, President and Chief Executive Officer of GOV, made the following statement:

“The most significant event for the third quarter was our entering an agreement to merge with Select Income REIT in a stock for stock exchange. The merger will benefit shareholders by creating a leading national office REIT with greater scale, enhanced diversification, more well laddered lease expirations, a broader investment strategy and a more sustainable dividend per share than GOV can sustain as a standalone company.

Operationally, GOV had another strong quarter as we grew same property cash basis NOI by 2.0% and executed over 182,000 square feet of new and renewal leases. We also continued to make progress on our property disposition plan by entering agreements to sell 50 buildings for $438.5 million since the end of the second quarter.”

Results for the Quarter Ended September 30, 2018:

Net loss available for common shareholders determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, for the quarter ended September 30, 2018 was $0.4 million, or $0.00 per diluted share, compared to net income available for common shareholders of $11.0 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2017.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2018, GOV entered new and renewal leases for an aggregate 182,220 rentable square feet at weighted (by rentable square feet) average rents that were 0.4% below prior rents for the same space.

Merger with Select Income REIT:

As previously announced, on September 14, 2018, GOV, a wholly owned subsidiary of GOV and Select Income REIT (Nasdaq: SIR), or SIR, entered into an agreement and plan of merger, dated as of September 14, 2018, or the Merger Agreement, whereby SIR will merge with and into GOV’s wholly owned subsidiary, or the Merger. The aggregate transaction value, based on the closing price of GOV’s common shares on September 30, 2018 of $11.29, is approximately $2.7 billion, excluding closing costs and including the repayment or assumption of approximately $1.7 billion of SIR debt. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, SIR’s shareholders will receive 1.04 newly issued common shares of GOV for each common share of SIR they hold, with cash paid in lieu of fractional shares. Pursuant to the terms and subject to certain conditions of the Merger Agreement, SIR will declare and, at least one business day prior to the completion of the Merger, pay a pro rata distribution to SIR’s shareholders of all 45,000,000 common shares of Industrial Logistics Properties Trust (Nasdaq: ILPT), or ILPT, that SIR owns. GOV will acquire SIR's remaining property portfolio (following SIR’s distribution of its ILPT common shares) of 99 properties with approximately 17.0 million rentable square feet. Completion of the Merger will require certain approvals of GOV’s and SIR’s shareholders and the satisfaction or waiver of other conditions and GOV and SIR expect to consummate the Merger by December 31, 2018. Upon the closing of the Merger, GOV will change its name to Office Properties Income Trust and remain listed on the Nasdaq under the ticker symbol “OPI”. GOV also expects that immediately following the merger, it will effect a reverse stock split of GOV common shares pursuant to which every four common shares of OPI will be converted into one common share of OPI.

On October 9, 2018, as required by the Merger Agreement, GOV sold all 24.9 million common shares it owned in SIR in an underwritten public offering at a price of $18.25 per share, raising net proceeds of approximately $434.7 million after deducting underwriters' discounts and estimated offering expenses. GOV used the net proceeds from the offering to repay amounts outstanding under its unsecured revolving credit facility. GOV expects to record a loss on the sale of the SIR shares of approximately $19.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2018.

Recent Property Disposition Activities:

In August 2018, GOV entered into an agreement to sell an office property (one building) located in Washington, DC with 129,035 rentable square feet for $70.0 million, excluding closing costs.

In September 2018, GOV entered an agreement to sell a portfolio of eight properties (34 buildings) located in northern Virginia and Maryland containing 1,635,868 rentable square feet for $201.5 million, excluding closing costs.

Loss on impairment of real estate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 represents an adjustment of $230 to reduce the carrying value of one property (one building) to its estimated fair value. (2) Acquisition and transaction related costs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 include costs incurred in connection with the pending Merger with SIR and related transactions. (3) Incentive fees under GOV’s business management agreement with RMR LLC are payable after the end of each calendar year, are calculated based on common share total return, as defined, and are included in general and administrative expenses in GOV’s condensed consolidated statements of income (loss). In calculating net income (loss) in accordance with GAAP, GOV recognizes estimated business management incentive fee expense, if any, in the first, second and third quarters. Although GOV recognizes this expense, if any, in the first, second and third quarters for purposes of calculating net income (loss), GOV does not include such expense in the calculation of Normalized FFO until the fourth quarter, when the amount of the business management incentive fee expense for the calendar year, if any, is determined. Net income (loss) includes $16,236 of estimated business management incentive fee expense and the reversal of $893 of previously accrued estimated business management incentive fee expense in the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Net income includes $16,973 of estimated business management incentive fee expense in the nine months ended September 30, 2018. No estimated business management incentive fees were included in net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. (4) Unrealized gain on equity securities represents the adjustment required to adjust the carrying value of GOV's investment in RMR Inc. common stock to its fair value as of September 30, 2018 in accordance with new GAAP standards effective January 1, 2018. (5) Income from discontinued operations includes operating results related to GOV's equity method investment in SIR. GOV sold its entire investment in SIR in October 2018 and reclassified the related operating results of this equity method investment to discontinued operations for all periods presented. Income from discontinued operations for the 2017 periods also includes operating results of one property (one building) that GOV sold in August 2017. (6) GOV recorded a $17,329 gain on sale of real estate in the nine months ended September 30, 2018 in connection with the sale of one property (one building) in May 2018. (7) GOV calculates FFO available for common shareholders and Normalized FFO available for common shareholders as shown above. FFO available for common shareholders is calculated on the basis defined by The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or Nareit, which is net income (loss) available for common shareholders calculated in accordance with GAAP, plus real estate depreciation and amortization of consolidated properties and its proportionate share of the real estate depreciation and amortization of unconsolidated joint venture properties and the difference between FFO attributable to an equity investment and equity in earnings of SIR included in discontinued operations, but excluding impairment charges on and increases in the carrying value of real estate assets, any gain or loss on sale of real estate, as well as certain other adjustments currently not applicable to GOV. GOV's calculation of Normalized FFO available for common shareholders differs from Nareit's definition of FFO available for common shareholders because GOV includes SIR's Normalized FFO attributable to GOV's equity investment in SIR (net of FFO attributable to GOV's equity investment in SIR) included in discontinued operations, GOV includes business management incentive fees, if any, only in the fourth quarter versus the quarter when they are recognized as expense in accordance with GAAP due to their quarterly volatility not necessarily being indicative of GOV's core operating performance and the uncertainty as to whether any such business management incentive fees will be payable when all contingencies for determining such fees are known at the end of the calendar year and GOV excludes acquisition and transaction related costs, loss on early extinguishment of debt, gains on issuance of shares by SIR included in discontinued operations and unrealized gains and losses on equity securities. GOV considers FFO available for common shareholders and Normalized FFO available for common shareholders to be appropriate supplemental measures of operating performance for a REIT, along with net income (loss), net income (loss) available for GOV's common shareholders and operating income. GOV believes that FFO available for common shareholders and Normalized FFO available for common shareholders provide useful information to investors because by excluding the effects of certain historical amounts, such as depreciation expense, FFO available for common shareholders and Normalized FFO available for common shareholders may facilitate a comparison of GOV's operating performance between periods and with other REITs. FFO available for common shareholders and Normalized FFO available for common shareholders are among the factors considered by GOV's Board of Trustees when determining the amount of distributions to GOV's shareholders. Other factors include, but are not limited to, requirements to maintain GOV's qualification for taxation as a REIT, limitations in GOV's credit agreement and public debt covenants, the availability to GOV of debt and equity capital, GOV's expectation of its future capital requirements and operating performance and GOV's expected needs for and availability of cash to pay its obligations. FFO available for common shareholders and Normalized FFO available for common shareholders do not represent cash generated by operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered alternatives to net income (loss), net income (loss) available for common shareholders or operating income as indicators of GOV's operating performance or as measures of GOV's liquidity. These measures should be considered in conjunction with net income (loss), net income (loss) available for common shareholders and operating income as presented in GOV's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss). Other real estate companies and REITs may calculate FFO available for common shareholders and Normalized FFO available for common shareholders differently than GOV does.

The calculations of Consolidated Property NOI and Consolidated Property Cash Basis NOI exclude certain components of net income (loss) available for common shareholders in order to provide results that are more closely related to GOV's consolidated property level results of operations. GOV defines Consolidated Property NOI as consolidated income from its rental of real estate less its consolidated property operating expenses. Consolidated Property NOI excludes amortization of capitalized tenant improvement costs and leasing commissions that GOV records as depreciation and amortization. GOV defines Consolidated Property Cash Basis NOI as Consolidated Property NOI excluding non-cash straight line rent adjustments, lease value amortization and non-cash amortization included in other operating expenses. GOV considers Consolidated Property NOI and Consolidated Property Cash Basis NOI to be appropriate supplemental measures to net income (loss) available for common shareholders because they may help both investors and management to understand the operations of GOV's consolidated properties. GOV uses Consolidated Property NOI and Consolidated Property Cash Basis NOI to evaluate individual and company wide consolidated property level performance, and GOV believes that Consolidated Property NOI and Consolidated Property Cash Basis NOI provide useful information to investors regarding GOV's results of operations because they reflect only those income and expense items that are generated and incurred at the property level and may facilitate comparisons of GOV's operating performance between periods and with other REITs. Consolidated Property NOI and Consolidated Property Cash Basis NOI do not represent cash generated by operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered alternatives to net income (loss), net income (loss) available for common shareholders or operating income as indicators of GOV's operating performance or as measures of its liquidity. These measures should be considered in conjunction with net income (loss), net income (loss) available for common shareholders and operating income as presented in GOV's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss). Other real estate companies and REITs may calculate Consolidated Property NOI and Consolidated Property Cash Basis NOI differently than GOV does. (2) Excludes one property (one building) classified as discontinued operations that GOV sold on August 31, 2017. (3) GOV reports rental income on a straight line basis over the terms of the respective leases; as a result, rental income includes non-cash straight line rent adjustments. Rental income also includes expense reimbursements, tax escalations, parking revenues, service income and other fixed and variable charges paid to GOV by its tenants, as well as the net effect of non-cash amortization of intangible lease assets and liabilities. (4) GOV recorded a liability for the amount by which the estimated fair value for accounting purposes exceeded the price GOV paid for its investment in RMR Inc. common stock in June 2015. A portion of this liability is being amortized on a straight line basis through December 31, 2035 as a reduction to property management fees expense, which is included in property operating expenses. (5) For the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, same property NOI and same property Cash Basis NOI are based on consolidated properties GOV owned as of September 30, 2018 and which it owned continuously since July 1, 2017. (6) For the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, same property NOI and same property Cash Basis NOI are based on consolidated properties GOV owned as of September 30, 2018 and which it owned continuously since January 1, 2017.
