EXPLANATORY NOTE

This report combines the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2022 of Boston Properties, Inc. and Boston Properties Limited Partnership. Unless stated otherwise or the context otherwise requires, references to “BXP” mean Boston Properties, Inc., a Delaware corporation and real estate investment trust (“REIT”), and references to “BPLP” and the “Operating Partnership” mean Boston Properties Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership. BPLP is the entity through which BXP conducts substantially all of its business and owns, either directly or through subsidiaries, substantially all of its assets. BXP is the sole general partner and also a limited partner of BPLP. As the sole general partner of BPLP, BXP has exclusive control of BPLP’s day-to-day management. Therefore, unless stated otherwise or the context requires, references to the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” mean collectively BXP, BPLP and those entities/subsidiaries consolidated by BXP.

As of March 31, 2022, BXP owned an approximate 89.6% ownership interest in BPLP. The remaining approximate 10.4% interest was owned by limited partners. The other limited partners of BPLP either (1) contributed their direct or indirect interests in properties to BPLP in exchange for common units or preferred units of limited partnership interest in BPLP or (2) received long-term incentive plan units of BPLP pursuant to BXP’s Stock Option and Incentive Plans, or both. Under the limited partnership agreement of BPLP, unitholders may present their common units of BPLP for redemption at any time (subject to restrictions agreed upon at the time of issuance of the units that may restrict such right for a period of time, generally one year from issuance). Upon presentation of a common unit for redemption, BPLP must redeem the unit for cash equal to the then value of a share of BXP’s common stock. In lieu of a cash redemption by BPLP, however, BXP may elect to acquire any common units so tendered by issuing shares of BXP common stock in exchange for the common units. If BXP so elects, its common stock will be exchanged for common units on a one-for-one basis. This one-for-one exchange ratio is subject to specified adjustments to prevent dilution. BXP generally expects that it will elect to issue its common stock in connection with each such presentation for redemption rather than having BPLP pay cash. With each such exchange or redemption, BXP’s percentage ownership in BPLP will increase. In addition, whenever BXP issues shares of its common stock other than to acquire common units of BPLP, BXP must contribute any net proceeds it receives to BPLP and BPLP must issue to BXP an equivalent number of common units of BPLP. This structure is commonly referred to as an umbrella partnership REIT, or UPREIT.

The Company believes that combining the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q of BXP and BPLP into this single report:

•enhances investors’ understanding of BXP and BPLP by enabling them to view the business as a whole in the same manner as management views and operates the business;

•eliminates duplicative disclosure and provides a more concise and readable presentation because a substantial portion of the disclosure applies to both BXP and BPLP; and

•creates time and cost efficiencies through the preparation of one combined report instead of two separate reports.

The Company believes it is important to understand the few differences between BXP and BPLP in the context of how BXP and BPLP operate as a consolidated company. The financial results of BPLP are consolidated into the financial statements of BXP. BXP does not have any other significant assets, liabilities or operations, other than its investment in BPLP, nor does it have employees of its own. BPLP, not BXP, generally executes all significant business relationships other than transactions involving the securities of BXP. BPLP holds substantially all of the assets of BXP, including ownership interests in joint ventures. BPLP conducts the operations of the business and is structured as a partnership with no publicly traded equity. Except for the net proceeds from equity issuances by BXP, which are contributed to the capital of BPLP in exchange for common or preferred units of partnership in BPLP, as applicable, BPLP generates all remaining capital required by the Company’s business. These sources include working capital, net cash provided by operating activities, borrowings under its credit facilities, the issuance of secured and unsecured debt and equity securities and proceeds received from the disposition of certain properties and interests in joint ventures.

Shareholders’ equity, partners’ capital and noncontrolling interests are the main areas of difference between the consolidated financial statements of BXP and BPLP. The limited partners of BPLP are accounted for as partners’ capital in BPLP’s financial statements and as noncontrolling interests in BXP’s financial statements. The noncontrolling interests in BPLP’s financial statements include the interests of unaffiliated partners in various consolidated partnerships. The noncontrolling interests in BXP’s financial statements include the same

Table of Contents

noncontrolling interests in BPLP and limited partners of BPLP. The differences between shareholders’ equity and partners’ capital result from differences in the equity issued at BXP and BPLP levels.

In addition, the consolidated financial statements of BXP and BPLP differ in total real estate assets resulting from previously applied acquisition accounting by BXP for the issuance of common stock in connection with non-sponsor redemptions of common units of BPLP. This accounting resulted in a step-up of the real estate assets of BXP at the time of such redemptions, resulting in a difference between the net real estate of BXP as compared to BPLP of approximately $259.0 million, or 1.4% at March 31, 2022, and a corresponding difference in depreciation expense, impairment losses and gains on sales of real estate upon the sale of these properties having an allocation of the real estate step-up. The acquisition accounting was nullified on a prospective basis beginning in 2009 as a result of the Company’s adoption of a new accounting standard requiring any subsequent redemptions to be accounted for solely as an equity transaction.

To help investors better understand the key differences between BXP and BPLP, the following items in this report present information separately for BXP and BPLP:

• Item 1. Financial Statements (unaudited), which includes the following specific disclosures for BXP and BPLP:

• Note 3. Real Estate;

• Note 8. Stockholders’ Equity / Partners’ Capital;

• Note 9. Segment Information; and

• Note 10. Earnings Per Share / Common Unit

• Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations includes information specific to each entity, where applicable; and

• Item 2. Liquidity and Capital Resources includes separate reconciliations of amounts to each entity’s financial statements, where applicable.

This report also includes separate Part I - Item 4. Controls and Procedures and Part II - Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds sections for each of BXP and BPLP, as well as separate Exhibits 31 and 32 certifications for each of BXP and BPLP.

BOSTON PROPERTIES, INC. AND BOSTON PROPERTIES LIMITED PARTNERSHIP

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Organization

BXP is a fully integrated, self-administered and self-managed REIT. BXP is the sole general partner of BPLP, its operating partnership, and at March 31, 2022 owned an approximate 89.6% (89.7% at December 31, 2021) general and limited partnership interest in BPLP. Unless stated otherwise or the context requires, the “Company” refers to BXP and its subsidiaries, including BPLP and its consolidated subsidiaries. Partnership interests in BPLP include:

•common units of partnership interest (also referred to as “OP Units”) and

•long term incentive units of partnership interest (also referred to as “LTIP Units”).

Unless specifically noted otherwise, all references to OP Units exclude units held by BXP. A holder of an OP Unit may present the OP Unit to BPLP for redemption at any time (subject to restrictions agreed upon at the time of issuance of OP Units to particular holders that may restrict such redemption right for a period of time, generally one year from issuance). Upon presentation of an OP Unit for redemption, BPLP is obligated to redeem the OP Unit for cash equal to the value of a share of common stock of BXP (“Common Stock”). In lieu of such cash redemption, BXP may elect to acquire the OP Unit for one share of Common Stock. Because the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at all times equals the number of OP Units that BXP owns, one share of Common Stock is generally the economic equivalent of one OP Unit, and the quarterly distribution that may be paid to the holder of an OP Unit equals the quarterly dividend that may be paid to the holder of a share of Common Stock.

The Company uses LTIP Units as a form of time-based, restricted equity compensation and as a form of performance-based equity compensation for employees, and has previously granted LTIP Units in the form of (1) 2012 outperformance plan awards (“2012 OPP Units”) and (2) 2013 - 2022 multi-year, long-term incentive program awards (also referred to as “MYLTIP Units”), each of which, upon the satisfaction of certain performance and vesting conditions, is convertible into one OP Unit. The three-year measurement periods for the 2012 OPP Units and the 2013 - 2019 MYLTIP Units have ended and BXP’s total stockholder return (“TSR”) was sufficient for employees to earn and therefore become eligible to vest in a portion of the awards. Unless and until they are earned, the rights, preferences and privileges of the 2020 - 2022 MYLTIP Units differ from other LTIP Units granted to employees (including the 2012 OPP Units and the 2013 - 2019 MYLTIP Units, which have been earned). Therefore, unless specifically noted otherwise, all references to LTIP Units exclude the 2020 - 2022 MYLTIP Units. LTIP Units (including the earned 2012 OPP Units and the earned 2013 - 2019 MYLTIP Units), whether vested or not, will receive the same quarterly per unit distributions as OP Units, which equal per share dividends on Common Stock (See Notes 7 and 11).

Properties

At March 31, 2022, the Company owned or had joint venture interests in a portfolio of 201 commercial real estate properties (the “Properties”) aggregating approximately 53.1 million net rentable square feet of primarily Class A office properties, including 11 properties under construction/redevelopment totaling approximately 4.1 million net rentable square feet. At March 31, 2022, the Properties consisted of:

•182 office properties (including 11 properties under construction/redevelopment);

•12 retail properties;

•six residential properties; and

•one hotel.

The Company considers Class A office properties to be well-located buildings that are modern structures or have been modernized to compete with newer buildings and professionally managed and maintained. As such, these properties attract high-quality tenants and command upper-tier rental rates.

2. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

BXP does not have any other significant assets, liabilities or operations, other than its investment in BPLP, nor does it have employees of its own. BPLP, not BXP, generally executes all significant business relationships other than transactions involving securities of BXP. All majority-owned subsidiaries and joint ventures over which the Company has financial and operating control and variable interest entities (“VIEs”) in which the Company has determined it is the primary beneficiary are included in the consolidated financial statements. All significant

Table of Contents

intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company accounts for all other unconsolidated joint ventures using the equity method of accounting. Accordingly, the Company’s share of the earnings of these joint ventures and companies is included in consolidated net income.

The accompanying interim financial statements are unaudited; however, the financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in conjunction with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring matters) necessary for a fair statement of the financial statements for these interim periods have been included. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be obtained for other interim periods or for the full fiscal year. The year-end consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosure required by GAAP. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report in the Company’s Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.

The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that it considers to be reasonable under the circumstances, including the impact of extraordinary events such as the coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic, the results of which form the basis for making significant judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities, assessments of future collectability, and other areas of the financial statements that are impacted by the use of estimates. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Variable Interest Entities (VIEs)

Consolidated VIEs are those for which the Company is considered to be the primary beneficiary of a VIE. The primary beneficiary is the entity that has a controlling financial interest in the VIE, which is defined by the entity having both of the following characteristics: (1) the power to direct the activities that, when taken together, most significantly impact the VIE’s performance and (2) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive the returns from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Company has determined that it is the primary beneficiary for six of the seven entities that are VIEs.

Consolidated Variable Interest Entities

As of March 31, 2022, BXP has identified six consolidated VIEs, including BPLP. Excluding BPLP, the VIEs consisted of the following five in-service properties: 767 Fifth Avenue (the General Motors Building), Times Square Tower, 601 Lexington Avenue, Atlantic Wharf Office Building and 100 Federal Street.

The Company consolidates these VIEs because it is the primary beneficiary. The third parties’ interests in these consolidated entities (excluding BPLP’s interest) are reflected as noncontrolling interests in property partnerships in the accompanying consolidated financial statements (See Note 7).

In addition, BXP’s only significant asset is its investment in BPLP and, consequently, substantially all of BXP’s assets and liabilities are the assets and liabilities of BPLP.

Variable Interest Entities Not Consolidated

The Company has determined that the Platform 16 Holdings LP joint venture is a VIE. The Company does not consolidate this entity as the Company does not have the power to direct the activities that, when taken together, most significantly impact the VIE’s performance and, therefore, the Company is not considered to be the primary beneficiary.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company follows the authoritative guidance for fair value measurements when valuing its financial instruments for disclosure purposes. The table below presents the financial instruments that are being valued for disclosure purposes as well as the Level at which they are categorized (as defined in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”)).

Table of Contents


Financial Instrument			Level
Unsecured senior notes (1)			Level 1
Related party note receivable			Level 3
Notes receivable			Level 3
Mortgage notes payable			Level 3
Unsecured line of credit			Level 3

_______________

(1)If trading value for the period is low, the valuation could be categorized as Level 2.

Because the Company’s valuations of its financial instruments are based on the above Levels and involve the use of estimates, the actual fair values of its financial instruments may differ materially from those estimates.

The Company’s estimated fair values for these instruments as of the end of the applicable reporting period are not projections of, nor necessarily indicative of, estimated or actual fair values in future reporting periods.

The following table presents the aggregate carrying value of the Company’s related party note receivable, net, notes receivable, net, mortgage notes payable, net, unsecured senior notes, net and unsecured line of credit and the Company’s corresponding estimate of fair value as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 (in thousands):

Pending Acquisition

On April 19, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire 11251 Roger Bacon Drive, in Reston, Virginia, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $5.6 million. 11251 Roger Bacon Drive is an approximately 65,000 square foot office building situated on approximately 2.6 acres. The property is 100% leased to a single tenant with a lease that expires concurrently with the planned closing (See Note 12).

Disposition

On March 31, 2022, the Company completed the sale of 195 West Street located in Waltham, Massachusetts for a gross sale price of $37.7 million. Net cash proceeds totaled approximately $35.4 million, resulting in a gain on sale of real estate totaling approximately $22.7 million for BXP and approximately $23.4 million for BPLP. 195 West Street is an approximately 63,500 net rentable square foot Class A office property. 195 West Street contributed approximately $0.4 million of net income to the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and contributed approximately $0.2 million of net loss to the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

4. Leases

The Company must make estimates as to the collectability of its accrued rent and accounts receivable balances related to lease revenue. When evaluating the collectability of tenants’ accrued rent and accounts receivable balances, management considers tenant creditworthiness, current economic trends, including the impact of COVID-19 on tenants’ businesses, and changes in tenants’ payment patterns, on a lease-by-lease basis. There were no new write-offs related to accrued rent, net balances and accounts receivable, net balances for the three months ended March 31, 2022. However, during the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company determined it was probable of collecting substantially all of certain tenants’ accrued rent and account receivable balances and, therefore, ceased recognizing revenue from such tenants on a cash basis. As a result of returning these tenants to accrual basis accounting, the Company reinstated approximately $1.0 million of accrued rent balances. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company wrote off approximately $0.4 million related to accrued rent, net balances and accounts receivable, net balances. The write-offs were for tenants, primarily in the retail sector, that either terminated their leases or for which the Company determined their accrued rent and/or accounts receivable balances were no longer probable of collection. For information related to write-offs of accrued rent, net balances and accounts receivable, net balances and reinstatements of accrued rent balances for the Company’s unconsolidated joint ventures, see Note 5.

6. Commitments and Contingencies

General

In the normal course of business, the Company guarantees its performance of services or indemnifies third parties against its negligence. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Company guarantees to certain tenants the obligations of its subsidiaries for the payment of tenant improvement allowances and brokerage commissions in connection with their leases and limited costs arising from delays in delivery of their premises.

The Company had letter of credit and performance obligations related to lender and development requirements that total approximately $26.4 million at March 31, 2022.

Certain of the Company’s joint venture agreements include provisions whereby, at certain specified times, each partner has the right to initiate a purchase or sale of its interest in the joint ventures. From time to time, under certain of the Company’s joint venture agreements, if certain return thresholds are achieved, either the Company or its partners may be entitled to an additional promoted interest or payments.

From time to time, the Company (or ventures in which the Company has an ownership interest) has agreed, and may in the future agree, to (1) guarantee portions of the principal, interest and other amounts in connection with their borrowings, (2) provide customary environmental indemnifications and nonrecourse carve-outs (e.g., guarantees against fraud, misrepresentation and bankruptcy) in connection with their borrowings and (3) provide guarantees to lenders, tenants and other third parties for the completion of development projects. The Company has agreements with its outside or joint venture partners whereby the partners agree to reimburse the joint venture for their share of any payments made under the guarantee. In some cases, the Company earns a fee from the applicable joint venture for providing the guarantee.

In connection with the refinancing of 767 Fifth Avenue’s (the General Motors Building) secured loan by the Company’s consolidated joint venture entity, 767 Venture, LLC, the Company guaranteed the consolidated entity’s obligation to fund various reserves for tenant improvement costs and allowances, leasing commissions and free rent obligations in lieu of cash deposits. As of March 31, 2022, the maximum funding obligation under the guarantee was approximately $17.7 million. The Company earns a fee from the joint venture for providing the guarantee and has an agreement with the outside partners to reimburse the joint venture for their share of any payments made under the guarantee. As of March 31, 2022, no amounts related to the guarantee were recorded as liabilities in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In connection with the development of the 7750 Wisconsin Avenue office property located in Bethesda, Maryland, the Company entered into agreements with affiliates of The Bernstein Companies (the Company’s partner in the 7750 Wisconsin Avenue joint venture) whereby the Company could be required to act as a mezzanine and/or mortgage lender and finance the construction of the hotel property being developed by an affiliate of The Bernstein Companies adjacent to the office property. An affiliate of The Bernstein Companies exercised its option to borrow $10.0 million from the Company under such agreements, which financing was provided by the Company on June 1, 2020. The financing bears interest at a fixed rate of 8.00% per annum, compounded monthly, and matures on the fifth anniversary of the date on which the base building of the affiliate of The Bernstein Companies’ hotel property is substantially completed. The financing is collateralized by a pledge of the partner’s equity interest in the joint venture that owns and developed 7750 Wisconsin Avenue. To secure such financing arrangements, affiliates of The Bernstein Companies are required to provide certain security, which varies depending on the specific loan, by pledges of their equity interest in the office property, a fee mortgage on the hotel property, or both. The financing is recorded as Note Receivable, Net in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.

In connection with the redevelopment of the Company’s 325 Main Street property located in Cambridge, Massachusetts, the Company was required pursuant to the local zoning ordinance and urban renewal plan to commence construction of a residential building of at least 200,000 square feet with 25% of the project designated as income-restricted (with a minimum of 20% of the square footage devoted to home ownership units) prior to the occupancy of the 325 Main Street property, which is expected to occur during the third quarter of 2022. The zoning ordinance and urban renewal plan were each amended to decouple the residential requirement from the occupancy of the 325 Main Street property. The amendment to the urban renewal plan is subject to final approvals and completion of administrative processes. 325 Main Street consisted of an approximately 115,000 net rentable square foot Class A office property that was demolished and is being developed into an approximately 420,000 net rentable square foot Class A office property, including approximately 41,000 net rentable square feet of retail space.

Insurance

The Company’s property insurance program per occurrence limits are $1.0 billion for its portfolio insurance program, including coverage for acts of terrorism other than nuclear, biological, chemical or radiological terrorism (“Terrorism Coverage”). The Company also carries $1.35 billion of property insurance in excess of the $1.0 billion of coverage in the Company’s property insurance program for 601 Lexington Avenue, New York, New York, consisting of $750 million of property and Terrorism Coverage in excess of the Company’s property insurance program and $600 million of Terrorism Coverage only in excess of the $1.75 billion of coverage. Certain properties, including the General Motors Building located at 767 Fifth Avenue in New York, New York (“767 Fifth Avenue”), are currently insured in separate insurance programs. The property insurance program per occurrence limits for 767 Fifth Avenue are $1.625 billion, including Terrorism Coverage. The Company also currently carries nuclear, biological, chemical and radiological terrorism insurance coverage for acts of terrorism certified under the Federal Terrorism Risk Insurance Act (as amended, “TRIA”) (“NBCR Coverage”), which is provided by IXP as a direct insurer, for the properties in the Company’s portfolio, including 767 Fifth Avenue, but excluding certain other properties owned in joint ventures with third parties or which the Company manages. The per occurrence limit for NBCR Coverage is $1.0 billion. Under TRIA, after the payment of the required deductible and coinsurance, the NBCR Coverage provided by IXP is backstopped by the Federal Government if the aggregate industry insured losses resulting from a certified act of terrorism exceed a “program trigger.” The program trigger is $200 million, the coinsurance is 20% and the deductible is 20% of the premiums earned by the insurer for the year prior to a claim. If the Federal Government pays out for a loss under TRIA, it is mandatory that the Federal Government recoup the full amount of the loss from insurers offering TRIA coverage after the payment of the loss pursuant to a formula in TRIA. The Company may elect to terminate the NBCR Coverage if the Federal Government seeks recoupment for losses paid under TRIA, if TRIA is not extended after its expiration on December 31, 2027, if there is a change in its portfolio or for any other reason. The Company intends to continue to monitor the scope, nature and cost of available terrorism insurance.

The Company also currently carries earthquake insurance on its properties located in areas known to be subject to earthquakes. Specifically, the Company currently carries earthquake insurance which covers its San Francisco and Los Angeles regions with a $330 million per occurrence limit, and a $330 million annual aggregate limit, $30 million of which is provided by IXP, as a direct insurer. This insurance is subject to a deductible in the amount of 3% of the value of the affected property. In addition, the Company currently carries earthquake insurance which covers its Seattle region with a $60 million per occurrence limit, and a $60 million annual aggregate limit. This insurance is subject to a deductible in the amount of 2% of the value of the affected property. The amount of the Company’s earthquake insurance coverage may not be sufficient to cover losses from earthquakes. In addition, the amount of earthquake coverage could impact the Company’s ability to finance properties subject to earthquake risk. The Company may discontinue earthquake insurance or change the structure of its earthquake insurance program on some or all of its properties in the future if the premiums exceed the Company’s estimation of the value of the coverage.

IXP, a captive insurance company which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, acts as a direct insurer with respect to a portion of the Company’s earthquake insurance coverage for its Greater San Francisco and Los Angeles properties and the Company’s NBCR Coverage. Insofar as the Company owns IXP, it is responsible for its liquidity and capital resources, and the accounts of IXP are part of the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In particular, if a loss occurs which is covered by the Company’s NBCR Coverage but is less than the applicable program trigger under TRIA, IXP would be responsible for the full amount of the loss without any backstop by the Federal Government. IXP would also be responsible for any recoupment charges by the Federal Government in the event losses are paid out and its insurance policy is maintained after the payout by the Federal Government. If the Company experiences a loss and IXP is required to pay under its insurance policy, the Company would ultimately record the loss to the extent of the required payment. Therefore, insurance coverage provided by IXP should not be considered as the equivalent of third-party insurance, but rather as a modified form of self-insurance. In addition, BPLP has issued a guarantee to cover liabilities of IXP in the amount of $20.0 million.

The Company continues to monitor the state of the insurance market in general, and the scope and costs of coverage for acts of terrorism, earthquakes and pandemics, in particular, but the Company cannot anticipate what coverage will be available on commercially reasonable terms in future policy years. There are other types of losses, such as from wars, for which the Company cannot obtain insurance at all or at a reasonable cost. With respect to such losses and losses from acts of terrorism, earthquakes, pandemics or other catastrophic events, if the Company experiences a loss that is uninsured or that exceeds policy limits, the Company could lose the capital invested in the damaged properties, as well as the anticipated future revenues from those properties. Depending on the specific circumstances of each affected property, it is possible that the Company could be liable for mortgage

indebtedness or other obligations related to the property. Any such loss could materially and adversely affect the Company’s business and financial condition and results of operations.

7. Noncontrolling Interests

Noncontrolling interests relate to the interests in BPLP not owned by BXP and interests in consolidated property partnerships not wholly-owned by the Company. As of March 31, 2022, the noncontrolling interests in BPLP consisted of 16,550,441 OP Units, 1,678,082 LTIP Units (including 466,233 LTIP Units earned by employees under the Company’s multi-year long-term incentive awards granted between 2012 and 2019 (i.e., 2012 OPP and 2013 - 2019 MYLTIP awards)), 203,278 2020 MYLTIP Units, 351,447 2021 MYLTIP Units and 254,061 2022 MYLTIP Units held by parties other than BXP.

Noncontrolling Interest—Common Units

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, 141,188 OP Units were presented by the holders for redemption (including 36,508 OP Units issued upon conversion of LTIP Units, 2012 OPP Units and MYLTIP Units) and were redeemed by BXP in exchange for an equal number of shares of Common Stock.

At March 31, 2022, BPLP had outstanding 203,278 2020 MYLTIP Units, 351,447 2021 MYLTIP Units and 254,061 2022 MYLTIP Units. Prior to the end of the respective three-year performance period for each plan, holders of MYLTIP Units are entitled to receive per unit distributions equal to one-tenth (10%) of the regular quarterly distributions payable on an OP Unit, but will not be entitled to receive any special distributions. After the measurement date, the number of MYLTIP Units, both vested and unvested, that MYLTIP award recipients have earned, if any, based on the establishment of a performance pool, will be entitled to receive distributions in an amount per unit equal to distributions, both regular and special, payable on an OP Unit.

On February 4, 2022, the measurement period for the Company’s 2019 MYLTIP awards ended and, based on BXP’s relative TSR performance, the final payout was determined to be 69.0% of target, or an aggregate of approximately $8.6 million (after giving effect to employee separations). As a result, an aggregate of 144,043 2019 MYLTIP Units that had been previously granted were automatically forfeited.

The following table presents BPLP’s distributions on the OP Units and LTIP Units (including the 2012 OPP Units, 2013 - 2018 MYLTIP Units and, after the February 4, 2022 measurement date, the 2019 MYLTIP Units) and its distributions on the 2019 MYLTIP Units (prior to the February 4, 2022 measurement date) and 2020 - 2022 MYLTIP Units (after the February 1, 2022 issuance date of the 2022 MYLTIP Units) that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2022:

A holder of an OP Unit may present the OP Unit to BPLP for redemption at any time (subject to restrictions agreed upon at the time of issuance of OP Units to particular holders that may restrict such redemption right for a period of time, generally one year from issuance). Upon presentation of an OP Unit for redemption, BPLP must redeem the OP Unit for cash equal to the then value of a share of Common Stock of BXP. BXP may, in its sole discretion, elect to assume and satisfy the redemption obligation by paying either cash or issuing one share of Common Stock. The value of the OP Units (LTIP Units (including the 2012 OPP Units and 2013 - 2019 MYLTIP

Units) assuming that all conditions had been met for the conversion thereof) had all of such units been redeemed at March 31, 2022 was approximately $2.3 billion based on the last reported price of a share of Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange of $128.80 per share on March 31, 2022.

Noncontrolling Interests—Property Partnerships

The noncontrolling interests in property partnerships consist of the outside equity interests in ventures that are consolidated with the financial results of the Company because the Company exercises control over the entities that own the properties. The equity interests in these ventures that are not owned by the Company, totaling approximately $1.5 billion and $1.6 billion at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, are included in Noncontrolling Interests—Property Partnerships on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.

8. Stockholders’ Equity / Partners’ Capital

BXP

As of March 31, 2022, BXP had 156,711,714 shares of Common Stock outstanding.

As of March 31, 2022, BXP owned 1,749,402 general partnership units and 154,962,312 limited partnership units in BPLP.

On May 22, 2020, BXP renewed its “at the market” (“ATM”) stock offering program through which it may sell from time to time up to an aggregate of $600.0 million of its Common Stock through sales agents over a three-year period. Under the ATM stock offering program, BXP may also engage in forward sale transactions with affiliates of certain sales agents for the sale of its Common Stock on a forward basis. This program replaced BXP’s prior $600.0 million ATM stock offering program that was scheduled to expire on June 2, 2020. BXP intends to use the net proceeds from any offering for general business purposes, which may include investment opportunities and debt reduction. No shares of Common Stock have been issued under this ATM stock offering program.

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, BXP did not issue any shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of options to purchase Common Stock.

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, BXP issued 141,148 shares of Common Stock in connection with the redemption of an equal number of redeemable OP Units from limited partners.

The following table presents BXP’s dividends per share and BPLP’s distributions per OP Unit and LTIP Unit paid or declared in 2022 and during the three months ended March 31, 2021:


Record Date	Payment Date	Dividend (Per Share)	Distribution (Per Unit)
March 31, 2022	April 29, 2022	$0.98	$0.98

Preferred Stock

On March 2, 2021, BXP issued a redemption notice for 80,000 shares of its 5.25% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock”), which constituted all of the outstanding Series B Preferred Stock, and the corresponding depositary shares, each representing 1/100th of a share of Series B Preferred Stock. The redemption price per share of Series B Preferred Stock was $2,500, plus all accrued and unpaid dividends to, but not including, the redemption date, totaling $2,516.41 per share. On March 31, 2021, the Company transferred the full redemption price for all outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock, including accrued and unpaid dividends to, but not including, the redemption date, to the redemption agent. The excess of the redemption price over the carrying value of the Series B Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Units of approximately $6.4 million relates to the original issuance costs and is reflected as a reduction to Net Income Attributable to Boston Properties, Inc. Common Shareholders and Net Income Attributable to Boston Properties Limited Partnership Common Unitholders on the Consolidated Income Statements.

Table of Contents

On April 1, 2021, BXP redeemed all of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock and all of the outstanding Depositary Shares. In connection with the redemption of the Series B Preferred Stock, all of the Series B Preferred Units, which had terms and preferences generally mirroring those of the Series B Preferred Stock, were redeemed by BPLP.

Net operating income (“NOI”) is a non-GAAP financial measure equal to net income attributable to Boston Properties, Inc. common shareholders and net income attributable to Boston Properties Limited Partnership common unitholders, as applicable, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, plus (1) preferred stock/unit redemption charge, preferred dividends/distributions, net income attributable to noncontrolling interests, interest expense, losses from early extinguishment of debt, depreciation and amortization expense, transaction costs, payroll and related costs from management services contracts and corporate general and administrative expense less (2) gains (losses) from investments in securities, interest and other income (loss), gains on sales of real estate, income from unconsolidated joint ventures, direct reimbursements of payroll and related costs from management services contracts and development and management services revenue. The Company believes NOI is useful to investors as a performance measure and believes it provides useful information to investors regarding its results of operations and financial condition because, when compared across periods, it reflects the impact on operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs and acquisition and development activity on an unleveraged basis, providing perspective not immediately apparent from net income attributable to Boston Properties, Inc. common shareholders and net income attributable to Boston Properties Limited Partnership common unitholders. For example, interest expense is not necessarily linked to the operating performance of a real estate asset and is often incurred at the corporate level as opposed to the property level. Similarly, interest expense may be incurred at the property level even though the financing proceeds may be used at the corporate level (e.g., used for other investment activity). In addition, depreciation and amortization expense, because of historical cost accounting and useful life estimates, may distort operating performance measures at the property level. NOI presented by the Company may not be comparable to NOI reported by other REITs or real estate companies that define NOI differently.

Table of Contents

The Company’s internal reporting utilizes its share of NOI, which includes its share of NOI from consolidated and unconsolidated joint ventures, which is a non-GAAP financial measure that is calculated as the consolidated amount, plus the Company’s share of the amount from the Company’s unconsolidated joint ventures (calculated based upon the Company’s economic percentage ownership interest and, in some cases, after priority allocations), minus the Company’s partners’ share of the amount from the Company’s consolidated joint ventures (calculated based upon the partners’ economic percentage ownership interests and, in some cases, after priority allocations, income allocation to private REIT shareholders and their share of fees due to the Company). The Company’s share of NOI from unconsolidated joint ventures does not include its share of gains on sales of real estate from unconsolidated joint ventures and gain on sale of investment from unconsolidated joint ventures, both of which are included within Loss From Unconsolidated Joint Ventures in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. Management utilizes its share of NOI in assessing its performance as the Company has several significant joint ventures and, in some cases, the Company exercises significant influence over, but does not control, the joint venture, in which case GAAP requires that the Company account for the joint venture entity using the equity method of accounting and the Company does not consolidate it for financial reporting purposes. In other cases, GAAP requires that the Company consolidate the venture even though the Company’s partner(s) owns a significant percentage interest. As a result, the presentations of the Company’s share of NOI should not be considered a substitute for, and should only be considered together with and as a supplement to, the Company’s financial information presented in accordance with GAAP.

Asset information by segment is not reported because the Company does not use this measure to assess performance. Therefore, depreciation and amortization expense is not allocated among segments. Preferred stock/unit redemption charge, preferred dividends/distributions, interest expense, losses from early extinguishment of debt, depreciation and amortization expense, transaction costs, payroll and related costs from management services contracts, corporate general and administrative expense, gains (losses) from investments in securities, interest and other income (loss), gains on sales of real estate, income from unconsolidated joint ventures, direct reimbursements of payroll and related costs from management services contracts and development and management services revenue are not included in NOI and are provided as reconciling items to the Company’s reconciliations of its share of NOI to net income attributable to common shareholders/unitholders.

The Company’s segments are based on the Company’s method of internal reporting which classifies its operations by geographic area. The Company’s segments by geographic area are Boston, Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco, Seattle and Washington, DC. On September 1, 2021, the Company invested in a joint venture that acquired Safeco Plaza located in Seattle, Washington. As such, the Seattle region was identified as a segment during the third quarter of 2021. The Company also presents information for each segment by property type, including Office, Residential and Hotel.

Parking and other revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2022 increased by approximately $4.8 million compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021. These increases were primarily in transient and monthly parking revenue.

The decreased demand for and occupancy of the Boston Marriott Cambridge hotel have had, and are expected to continue to have, a material adverse effect on its operations and thus the results of the Company’s Hotel property type.

10. Earnings Per Share / Common Unit

BXP

The following table provides a reconciliation of both the net income attributable to Boston Properties, Inc. common shareholders and the number of common shares used in the computation of basic earnings per share (“EPS”), which is calculated by dividing net income attributable to Boston Properties, Inc. common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are also participating securities. As such, unvested restricted common stock of BXP and BPLP’s LTIP Units, 2012 OPP Units and MYLTIP Units are considered participating securities. Participating securities are included in the computation of basic EPS of BXP using the two-class method. Participating securities are included in the computation of diluted EPS of BXP using the if-converted method if the impact is dilutive. Because the 2012 OPP Units and 2013 - 2019 MYLTIP Units required, and the 2020 - 2022 MYLTIP Units require, BXP to outperform absolute and/or relative return thresholds, unless such thresholds have been met by the end of the applicable reporting period, BXP excludes such units from the diluted EPS calculation. Other potentially dilutive common shares, including stock options, restricted stock and other securities of BPLP that are exchangeable for BXP’s Common Stock, and the related impact on earnings, are considered when calculating diluted EPS.

BPLP

The following table provides a reconciliation of both the net income attributable to Boston Properties Limited Partnership common unitholders and the number of common units used in the computation of basic earnings per common unit, which is calculated by dividing net income attributable to Boston Properties Limited Partnership common unitholders by the weighted-average number of common units outstanding during the period. Unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are also participating securities. As such, unvested restricted common stock of BXP and BPLP’s LTIP Units, 2012 OPP Units and MYLTIP Units are considered participating securities. Participating securities are included in the computation of basic earnings per common unit using the two-class method. Participating securities are included in the computation of diluted earnings per common unit using the if-converted method if the impact is dilutive. Because the 2012 OPP Units and 2013 - 2019 MYLTIP Units required, and the 2020 - 2022 MYLTIP Units require, BXP to outperform absolute and/or relative return thresholds, unless such thresholds have been met by the end of the applicable reporting period, BPLP excludes such units from the diluted earnings per common unit calculation. Other potentially dilutive common units and the related impact on earnings are considered when calculating diluted earnings per common unit. Included in the number of units (the denominator) below are approximately 17,626,000 and 17,089,000 redeemable common units for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

11. Stock Option and Incentive Plan

On February 1, 2022, BXP’s Compensation Committee approved the 2022 MYLTIP awards under the Boston Properties, Inc. 2021 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”) to certain officers and employees of BXP. The 2022 MYLTIP awards consist of two, equally weighted (50% each) components that utilize BXP’s TSR over a three-year measurement period as the performance metric.

The first component of the 2022 MYLTIP represents one-half (50%) of the target grant-date value of the award. The number of LTIP Units that can be earned under this component ranges from zero to 200% of the target number of LTIP Units, based on BXP’s three-year, annualized relative TSR performance compared to a custom index of peer companies. Under this component, 100% of the target number of LTIP Units will be earned if BXP’s TSR equals the custom index TSR; for relative TSR performance between -1,000 basis points and +1,000 basis points, the number of LTIP Units earned will be determined using linear interpolation.

The second component represents the remaining one-half (50%) of the target grant-date value of the 2022 MYLTIP. The number of LTIP Units that can be earned under this component ranges from zero to 200% of the target number of LTIP Units, based on BXP’s non-annualized, cumulative absolute TSR during the three-year performance period. Under this component, 100% of the target number of LTIP Units will be earned if BXP achieves an absolute TSR equal to +1,000 basis points; if BXP’s absolute TSR is greater than -4,000 basis points but less than +6,000 basis points, then the number of LTIP Units earned will be determined using linear interpolation.

Total earned awards under the 2022 MYLTIP, if any, will equal the sum of the number of LTIP Units earned under the first and second components and will range from zero to a maximum of 254,061 LTIP Units with a target of approximately 127,031 LTIP Units and linear interpolation between zero and maximum. Earned awards (if any) will vest 100% on January 31, 2025, but may not be converted, redeemed, sold or otherwise transferred for one additional year thereafter. Vesting will be accelerated in the event of a change in control, termination of employment by BXP without cause, or termination of employment by the award recipient for good reason, death, disability or retirement. If there is a change of control prior to January 31, 2025, earned awards will be calculated based on TSR performance up to the date of the change of control. The 2022 MYLTIP awards are in the form of LTIP Units issued

on the grant date, and they are subject to forfeiture to the extent awards are not earned. Prior to the performance measurement date holders of the 2022 MYLTIP Units are only entitled to one-tenth (10%) of the regular quarterly distributions payable on common partnership units. Following the completion of the three-year performance period, BXP will also make a “catch-up” cash payment on the 2022 MYLTIP Units that are ultimately earned in an amount equal to the regular and special distributions, if any, declared during the performance period on BXP’s Common Stock, less the distributions actually paid to holders of 2022 MYLTIP Units during the performance period on all of the awarded 2022 MYLTIP Units. Under ASC 718 “Compensation - Stock Compensation,” the 2022 MYLTIP awards have an aggregate value of approximately $17.3 million, which amount will generally be amortized into earnings under the graded vesting method.

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, BXP issued 33,411 shares of restricted common stock and BPLP issued 250,893 LTIP Units and 254,061 2022 MYLTIP Units to employees and non-employee directors under the 2021 Plan. Employees and non-employee directors paid $0.01 per share of restricted common stock and $0.25 per LTIP Unit and 2022 MYLTIP Unit. When issued, LTIP Units are not economically equivalent in value to a share of Common Stock, but over time can increase in value to one-for-one parity with Common Stock if there is sufficient appreciation in the value of the Company’s assets. The aggregate value of the LTIP Units is included in noncontrolling interests in the Consolidated Balance Sheets of Boston Properties, Inc. and Boston Properties Limited Partnership. A substantial majority of the grants of restricted common stock and LTIP Units to employees vest in four equal annual installments. Restricted common stock is measured at fair value on the date of grant based on the number of shares granted and the closing price of BXP’s Common Stock on the date of grant as quoted on the New York Stock Exchange. Such value is recognized as an expense ratably over the corresponding employee service period. The shares of restricted common stock granted during the three months ended March 31, 2022 were valued at approximately $3.9 million ($113.79 per share weighted-average). The LTIP Units granted were valued at approximately $27.2 million (approximately $108.41 per unit weighted-average fair value) using a Monte Carlo simulation method model. The per unit fair values of the LTIP Units granted were estimated on the dates of grant and for a substantial majority of such units were valued using the following assumptions: an expected life of 5.7 years, a risk-free interest rate of 1.71% and an expected price volatility of 31.0%. Because the 2012 OPP Units and 2013 - 2022 MYLTIP Units are subject to both a service condition and a market condition, the Company recognizes the related compensation expense under the graded vesting attribution method. Under the graded vesting attribution method, each portion of the award that vests at a different date is accounted for as a separate award and recognized over the period appropriate to that portion so that the compensation cost for each portion should be recognized in full by the time that portion vests. The Company recognizes forfeitures as they occur on its awards of stock-based compensation. Dividends paid on both vested and unvested shares of restricted stock are charged directly to Dividends in Excess of Earnings in Boston Properties, Inc.’s Consolidated Balance Sheets and Partners’ Capital in Boston Properties Limited Partnership’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. Aggregate stock-based compensation expense associated with restricted stock, LTIP Units and MYLTIP Units was approximately $20.9 million and $19.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. At March 31, 2022, there was (1) an aggregate of approximately $37.0 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested restricted stock, LTIP Units and 2019 MYLTIP Units and (2) an aggregate of approximately $16.0 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested 2020 - 2022 MYLTIP Units that is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 2.3 years.

12. Subsequent Events

On April 7, 2022, the Company executed an agreement to assign its right to acquire 11251 Roger Bacon Drive in Reston, Virginia to a third party for an assignment fee of approximately $6.9 million. 11251 Roger Bacon Drive is an approximately 65,000 square foot office building situated on approximately 2.6 acres (See Note 3).

On April 14, 2022, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire Madison Centre in Seattle, Washington for a gross purchase price of $730.0 million. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company made a $50.0 million non-refundable deposit that will be credited towards the purchase price at closing. Madison Centre is an approximately 760,000 square foot, 37-story Class A office building. The acquisition is subject to customary closing conditions, and there can be no assurance that this acquisition will occur on the terms currently contemplated or at all.

On April 18, 2022, a joint venture in which the Company has a 50% ownership interest extended the construction loan collateralized by its Hub50House property. At the time of the extension, the outstanding balance of the loan totaled approximately $176.5 million and the loan bore interest at a variable rate equal to LIBOR plus 2.00% per annum and was scheduled to mature on April 19, 2022. The extended loan matures on June 19, 2022. Hub50House is a residential property that consists of approximately 320,000 net rentable square feet and 440 residential units located in Boston, Massachusetts.

On April 27, 2022, the Company entered into a lease agreement with AstraZeneca to lease approximately 570,000 square feet at the Company’s 290 Binney Street future development project. 290 Binney Street is part of the initial phase of a future life sciences development project located in the heart of Kendall Square in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The full project will consist of two buildings aggregating approximately 1.1 million rentable square feet of life sciences space and an approximately 400,000 square foot residential building. The lease and commencement of construction are subject to various conditions, some of which are not within the Company’s control. There can be no assurance that the conditions will be satisfied or that the Company will commence the development on the terms and schedule currently contemplated or at all.

Item 2—Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report.

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including the documents incorporated by reference, contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. We intend these forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and are including this statement for purposes of complying with those safe harbor provisions, in each case, to the extent applicable. Such statements are contained principally, but not only, under the captions “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” We caution investors that any such forward-looking statements are based on current beliefs or expectations of future events and on assumptions made by, and information currently available to, our management. When used, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “budget,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “project,” “should,” “will” and similar expressions that do not relate solely to historical matters are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions and are not guarantees of future performance or occurrences, which may be affected by known and unknown risks, trends, uncertainties and factors that are, in some cases, beyond our control. Should one or more of these known or unknown risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. We caution you that, while forward-looking statements reflect our good-faith beliefs when we make them, they are not guarantees of future performance or occurrences and are impacted by actual events when they occur after we make such statements. Accordingly, investors should use caution in relying on forward-looking statements, which are based on results and trends at the time they are made, to anticipate future results or trends.

The most significant factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements include the impact on global and U.S. economic conditions due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the ongoing war in Ukraine, rising inflation, increasing interest rates, supply-chain disruptions, as well as the risks described in (i) our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 including those described under the caption “Risk Factors,” (ii) our subsequent filings under the Exchange Act and (iii) the risk factors set forth in this Form 10-Q in Part II, Item 1A, if any.

Some of the risks and uncertainties that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by forward-looking statements include, among others, the following:

•the risks and uncertainties related to the impact of (1) the COVID-19 global pandemic, including the emergence of additional variants, the effectiveness, availability and distribution of vaccines, including their efficacy against new variant strains and the willingness of individuals to be vaccinated, (2) the impact of geopolitical conflicts, including the war in Ukraine, and (3) the severity and duration of the indirect economic impacts of the foregoing, such as recession, supply chain disruptions, labor market disruptions, rising inflation, increasing interest rates, dislocation and volatility in capital markets, job losses, potential longer-term changes in consumer and tenant behavior, as well as possible future governmental responses;

•volatile or adverse global economic and geopolitical conditions, health crises and dislocations in the credit markets could adversely affect our access to cost-effective capital and have a resulting material adverse effect on our business opportunities, results of operations and financial condition;

•risks associated with downturns in the national and local economies, increasing interest rates, and volatility in the securities markets;

•general risks affecting the real estate industry (including, without limitation, the inability to enter into or renew leases, tenant space utilization, dependence on tenants’ financial condition, and competition from other developers, owners and operators of real estate);

•failure to manage effectively our growth and expansion into new markets and sub-markets or to integrate acquisitions and developments successfully;

•the ability of our joint venture partners to satisfy their obligations;

•risks and uncertainties affecting property development and construction (including, without limitation, rising inflation, supply chain disruptions, labor shortages, construction delays, increased

construction costs, cost overruns, inability to obtain necessary permits, tenant accounting considerations that may result in negotiated lease provisions that limit a tenant’s liability during construction, and public opposition to such activities);

•risks associated with the availability and terms of financing and the use of debt to fund acquisitions and developments or refinance existing indebtedness, including the impact of higher interest rates on the cost and/or availability of financing;

•risks associated with forward interest rate contracts and the effectiveness of such arrangements;

•risks associated with actual or threatened terrorist attacks;

•costs of compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act and other similar laws;

•potential liability for uninsured losses and environmental contamination;

•risks associated with the physical effects of climate change;

•risks associated with security breaches through cyber attacks, cyber intrusions or otherwise, as well as other significant disruptions of our information technology (IT) networks and related systems, which support our operations and our buildings;

•risks associated with BXP’s potential failure to qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended;

•possible adverse changes in tax and environmental laws;

•the impact of newly adopted accounting principles on our accounting policies and on period-to-period comparisons of financial results;

•risks associated with possible state and local tax audits; and

•risks associated with our dependence on key personnel whose continued service is not guaranteed.

The risks set forth above are not exhaustive. Other sections of this report may include additional factors that could adversely affect our business and financial performance. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment, particularly in light of the circumstances relating to COVID-19 and the war in Ukraine. New risk factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for management to predict all risk factors, nor can we assess the impact of all risk factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Given these risks and uncertainties, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results. Investors should also refer to our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for future periods and Current Reports on Form 8-K as we file them with the SEC, and to other materials we may furnish to the public from time to time through Current Reports on Form 8-K or otherwise, for a discussion of risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by forward-looking statements. We expressly disclaim any responsibility to update any forward-looking statements to reflect changes in underlying assumptions or factors, new information, future events, or otherwise, and you should not rely upon these forward-looking statements after the date of this report.

Overview

BXP is one of the largest publicly traded office real estate investment trusts (REITs) (based on total market capitalization as of March 31, 2022) in the United States that develops, owns, and manages primarily Class A office properties. Our properties are concentrated in six markets in the United States - Boston, Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco, Seattle, and Washington, DC. BPLP is the entity through which BXP conducts substantially all of its business and owns (either directly or through subsidiaries) substantially all of its assets. We generate revenue and cash primarily by leasing Class A office space to our clients. When making leasing decisions, we consider, among other things, the creditworthiness of the client and the industry in which it conducts business, the length of the lease, the rental rate to be paid at inception and throughout the lease term, the costs of tenant improvements, free rent periods and other landlord concessions, anticipated operating expenses and real estate taxes, current and anticipated vacancy in our properties and the market overall (including sublease space), current and expected future demand for the space, the impact of other client’s expansion rights and general economic factors.

Our core strategy has always been to develop, acquire and manage high-quality properties in supply-constrained markets with high barriers-to-entry and attractive demand drivers, and to focus on executing long-term leases with financially strong clients. Historically, these factors have minimized our exposure in weaker economic cycles and enhanced revenues as market conditions improve. Our client base is diverse across market sectors and

Table of Contents

the weighted-average lease term for our in-place leases, excluding residential units, was approximately 7.9 years, as of March 31, 2022, including leases signed by our unconsolidated joint ventures. The weighted-average lease term for our 20 largest clients, based on leased square footage, was approximately 11.2 years as of March 31, 2022.

To be successful in any leasing environment, we believe we must consider all aspects of the client-landlord relationship. In this regard, we believe that our competitive leasing advantage is based on the following attributes:

•our understanding of our client’s short- and long-term space utilization and amenity needs in the local markets;

•our track record of developing and operating Class A office properties in a sustainable and responsible manner;

•our reputation as a premier developer, owner and manager of primarily Class A office properties;

•our financial strength and our ability to maintain high building standards; and

•our relationships with local brokers.

Outlook

Just as the Omicron variant’s impact on the economy began to slowly dissipate, geopolitical tensions in Eastern Europe increased uncertainty during the first quarter of 2022. Inflation, at generational highs, has caused food and energy prices to spike, thereby reducing consumer’s purchasing power and elevating the risks of an economic slowdown. At the same time, the labor market remains historically tight and companies continue to look to add employees, pushing unemployment lower.

As business conditions become more competitive due to rising interest rates, slowing economic growth, and changes in the labor markets, business leaders will likely feel the need to bring their employees together on a much more consistent basis and modify their return to office policies. We believe as employees return to their offices in greater numbers, our strategically located, high-quality office and well-amenitized properties will remain a vital component of the strategies of today’s forward-thinking organizations that prioritize fostering collaboration, innovation, productivity and culture. We expect companies will look to take advantage of the availability of Class A space and upgrade.

Despite the concerns surrounding COVID-19 variants, geopolitical tensions, and the potential impact on economic conditions, we remain optimistic for our industry generally and BXP in particular, given the demand for workers across sectors, the high quality of our properties, and the success of our development efforts.

We remain focused on the following priorities, which we believe are key to increasing future revenue and asset values over the long-term:

•ensuring client health, safety and satisfaction;

•leasing available space in our in-service and development properties, as well as proactively focusing on future lease expirations;

•completing the construction and leasing of our development properties;

•continuing and completing the redevelopment, repositioning, and repurposing for growing life sciences use of several key properties;

•identifying new investment opportunities that meet our criteria while maintaining discipline in our underwriting;

•managing our near-term debt maturities and maintaining our conservative balance sheet; and

•actively managing our operations in a sustainable and responsible manner.

The following is an overview of leasing and investment activity in the first quarter of 2022.

Leasing Activity and Occupancy

In the first quarter of 2022, we signed approximately 1.2 million square feet of new leases and renewals, which is in line with our 10-year, pre-pandemic average for leasing for the first quarter. These leases have a weighted-average lease term of approximately 7.3 years, indicating that many new and existing clients continue to commit to

Table of Contents

the long-term use of space and view our properties as their preferred choice for a premium Class A office environment.

The overall occupancy of our in-service office and retail properties was 89.1% at March 31, 2022, an increase of 30 basis points from December 31, 2021. Given our moderate near-term rollover, the amount of leases signed, but for which occupancy has not commenced, and the number of leases in negotiation for space in the in-service portfolio, we expect our occupancy to continue to increase.

Our parking and other revenue was approximately $21.7 million in the first quarter of 2022, a decrease of approximately $1.4 million, or 6%, from the fourth quarter of 2021. Our hotel property, the Boston Marriott Cambridge, also experienced a decrease in revenue of approximately $1.7 million, or 27%, from the fourth quarter of 2021. We believe both decreases are correlated to the spike in the Omicron variant throughout the U.S. in the first part of the quarter that delayed return to office openings and slowed down travel.

Investment Activity

We remain committed to developing and acquiring assets to enhance our long-term growth and to meet client demand for high-quality office, residential, and life sciences space. We continually evaluate current and prospective markets for possible acquisitions of “value-add” assets that require lease-up or repositioning, and acquisitions that are otherwise consistent with our long-term strategy of owning, managing, developing, and improving, premier Class A properties in each of our chosen markets.

Consistent with this strategy, on April 14, 2022, we entered into an agreement to acquire Madison Centre, a Class A office property in the Seattle, Washington central business district (“CBD”), for a gross purchase price of $730 million. This addition to our portfolio furthers our goal to establish a strong platform for continued growth in the Seattle market. Built in 2017, Madison Centre is approximately 760,000 square feet, 37 floors, 93% leased and LEED Platinum certified. The acquisition is expected to close in the second quarter of this year and will be initially funded with a one-year, $730 million term loan. We anticipate ultimately funding the acquisition through incremental asset sales, which we anticipate would be structured as like-kind exchanges or joint venture equity.

In the first quarter of 2022, we commenced two new development projects:

•the redevelopment of 651 Gateway in South San Francisco, California, an office building that will be converted to approximately 327,000 net rentable square feet of life sciences space and that is owned by a joint venture in which we have a 50% interest; and

•the development of the first phase of Platform 16 in San Jose, California, a Class A office project that is owned by a joint venture in which we have a 55% interest. The first phase is an approximately 390,000 net rentable square foot Class A creative office building. When all phases are complete, Platform 16 is expected to include approximately 1.1 million net rentable square feet.

As of March 31, 2022, our development/redevelopment pipeline consists of 11 properties that, when completed, we expect will total approximately 4.1 million net rentable square feet. Our share of the estimated total cost for these projects is approximately $2.9 billion, of which approximately $1.2 billion remained to be invested. The total development pipeline, inclusive of both office and lab/life sciences developments, but excluding the View Boston Observatory at The Prudential Center, is 54% pre-leased as of April 29, 2022. The office development projects, which total approximately 2.8 million square feet, are approximately 57% pre-leased as of April 29, 2022, to predominately credit-strong clients with long-lease terms.

Supply-chain concerns and inflationary pressures continue to negatively impact our business and have been exacerbated by the war in Ukraine and the ongoing Omicron outbreak in China. Impacts on our business include increased time to complete construction projects and increased costs. Our construction schedule is one of the elements we consider when we evaluate bids for development projects and capital improvements. We have been successful in awarding bids and maintaining schedules through the pandemic. However, there are fewer choices for materials, and we continue to work closely with our consultants and contractors to ensure there are not items used in the development or redevelopment process that are not available or could, directly or indirectly, cause delays. We are intentionally minimizing the amount of materials we acquire from foreign suppliers, releasing material packages as early as possible and, when appropriate, purchasing materials in advance and storing them off-site. We currently expect to deliver all active developments and redevelopments on time and budget. However, we may experience greater costs and/or necessary materials may not be available, which could delay the completion of our development projects. A failure to deliver a project on time could expose us to additional costs, in time or penalties (including lease termination rights), under leases signed for the project.

Table of Contents

As we continue to focus on new investments to drive future growth, we continually review our portfolio to identify properties as potential sales candidates that either no longer fit within our portfolio strategy or could attract premium pricing in the current market. On March 31, 2022, we completed the sale of 195 West Street, an approximately 63,500 square foot office building in Waltham, Massachusetts, for a gross sales price of $37.7 million and net cash proceeds of approximately $35.4 million. We expect to sell an aggregate of $700 million to $900 million of assets in 2022.

A brief overview of each of our markets follows.

Boston

During the first quarter of 2022, we signed approximately 351,000 square feet of leases and approximately 369,000 square feet of leases commenced in the Boston region. Approximately 191,000 square feet of the leases that commenced had been vacant for less than one year and represent an increase in net rental obligations of approximately 8% over the prior leases.

Our Boston CBD in-service portfolio was approximately 94% leased as of March 31, 2022.

Our approximately 2.0 million square foot in-service office portfolio in Cambridge was approximately 99% leased as of March 31, 2022. In April of 2022, we signed an approximately 570,000 square foot lease with AstraZeneca to lease the entirety of the first phase of the future life sciences development at 290 Binney Street. This future development site is located in the heart of Kendall Square and, when all phases are complete, will be comprised of approximately 1.1 million square feet of life sciences space and a 400,000 square foot residential building. This lease is subject to various conditions, some of which are not within our control. If the conditions are not satisfied for a reason other than BXP’s non-performance, then BXP may terminate the lease. There can be no assurance the conditions will be satisfied or that we will commence the development on the terms and schedule currently contemplated or at all.

Waltham and the area surrounding the Route 128-Mass Turnpike interchange continue to be a popular submarket of Boston for leading and emerging companies in the life sciences, biotechnology and technology sectors. Our Route 128-Mass Turnpike portfolio is comprised of approximately 4.8 million square feet and was approximately 85% leased as of March 31, 2022.

Los Angeles

Our Los Angeles (“LA”) in-service portfolio of approximately 2.3 million square feet is currently focused in West LA and includes Colorado Center, a 1.1 million square foot property of which we own 50%, and Santa Monica Business Park, a 21-building, approximately 1.2 million square foot property of which we own 55%. As of March 31, 2022, our LA in-service properties were approximately 88% leased.

New York

During the first quarter of 2022, we executed approximately 434,000 square feet of leases in the New York region and approximately 267,000 square feet of leases commenced. Approximately 214,000 square feet of the 267,000 square feet of leases that commenced in the first quarter had been vacant for less than one year and they represent a decrease in net rental obligations of approximately 20% over the prior leases. The decrease is primarily driven by a short-term lease extension completed in 2021, which allowed our client time to consider its long-term plans. In April 2022, we were successful in retaining this client with a lease extension to 2040. The most significant transaction completed in the first quarter of 2022 was an approximately 330,000 square foot extension and expansion at 601 Lexington Avenue in New York City. This lease involved the client expanding into a vacant floor as well as floors that are expiring in the second half of 2022. As of March 31, 2022, our New York CBD in-service portfolio was approximately 90% leased.

San Francisco

During the first quarter of 2022, we executed approximately 199,000 square feet of leases and approximately 182,000 square feet of leases commenced in the San Francisco region. Approximately 139,000 square feet of the 182,000 square feet of leases that commenced had been vacant for less than one year and represent an increase in net rental obligations of approximately 8% over the prior leases.

Our San Francisco CBD in-service properties were approximately 91% leased as of March 31, 2022.

In South San Francisco, our Gateway Commons joint venture continues to be productive. We executed approximately 45,000 square feet of leasing at 601 and 611 Gateway and commenced the redevelopment of 651 Gateway.

Seattle

Safeco Plaza, our initial entry into the Seattle market, was 87.7% leased as of March 31, 2022. The strength of the Seattle market, as evidenced by our experience with lease proposals at Safeco Plaza, affirmed our reasons for entering the market and gave us confidence to move forward with our plan to grow this region. As a result, we signed an agreement to acquire Madison Centre, one of the highest quality office buildings in the Seattle CBD, for a gross purchase price of $730 million. This addition to our portfolio will create a strong platform for continued growth in the Seattle market. Built in 2017, Madison Centre is approximately 760,000 square feet, 37 floors, 93% leased and LEED Platinum certified.

Washington, DC

During the first quarter of 2022, we executed approximately 183,000 square feet of leases and approximately 709,000 square feet of leases commenced in the Washington, DC region, including approximately 411,000 square feet at Reston Next. Leases for approximately 110,000 square feet of the 709,000 square feet of leases that commenced had been vacant for less than one year and represent a decrease in net rental obligations of approximately 2% over the prior leases. Our Washington, DC CBD in-service properties were approximately 85% leased as of March 31, 2022.

Our Reston, Virginia properties were approximately 94% leased as of March 31, 2022. During the first quarter of 2022, activity in Reston was concentrated on partial floor deals. Large client activity has been slow in early 2022.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations discuss our Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of these financial -statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates and assumptions.

Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 contains a discussion of our critical accounting estimates. There have been no significant changes in our critical accounting estimates since the year ended December 31, 2021.

At March 31, 2022 and 2021, we owned or had joint venture interests in a portfolio of 201 and 196 commercial real estate properties, respectively (in each case, the “Total Property Portfolio”). As a result of changes within our Total Property Portfolio, the financial data presented below shows significant changes in revenue and expenses from period-to-period. Accordingly, we do not believe that our period-to-period financial data with respect to the Total Property Portfolio is meaningful. Therefore, the comparison of operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 show separately the changes attributable to the properties that were owned by us and in-service throughout each period compared (the “Same Property Portfolio”) and the changes attributable to the properties included in the Acquired, Placed In-Service, Development or Redevelopment or Sold Portfolios.

In our analysis of operating results, particularly to make comparisons of net operating income between periods meaningful, it is important to provide information for properties that were in-service and owned by us throughout each period presented. We refer to properties acquired or placed in-service prior to the beginning of the earliest period presented and owned by us and in-service through the end of the latest period presented as our Same Property Portfolio. The Same Property Portfolio therefore excludes properties acquired, placed in-service or in development or redevelopment after the beginning of the earliest period presented or disposed of prior to the end of the latest period presented.

NOI is a non-GAAP financial measure equal to net income attributable to Boston Properties, Inc. common shareholders and net income attributable to Boston Properties Limited Partnership common unitholders, as applicable, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, plus (1) preferred stock/unit redemption charge, preferred dividends/distributions, net income attributable to noncontrolling interests, interest expense, losses from early extinguishment of debt, depreciation and amortization expense, transaction costs, payroll and related costs from management services contracts and corporate general and administrative expense less (2) gains (losses) from investments in securities, interest and other income (loss), gains on sales of real estate, income from unconsolidated joint ventures, direct reimbursements of payroll and related costs from management services contracts and development and management services revenue. We use NOI internally as a performance measure and believe it provides useful information to investors regarding our results of operations and financial condition because, when compared across periods, it reflects the impact on operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs and acquisition and development activity on an unleveraged basis, providing perspective not immediately apparent from net income attributable to Boston Properties, Inc. common shareholders and net income attributable to Boston Properties Limited Partnership common unitholders. For example, interest expense is not necessarily linked to the operating performance of a real estate asset and is often incurred at the corporate level as opposed to the property level. Similarly, interest expense may be incurred at the property level even though the financing proceeds may be used at the corporate level (e.g., used for other investment activity). In addition, depreciation and amortization expense, because of historical cost accounting and useful life estimates, may distort operating performance measures at the property level. NOI presented by us may not be comparable to NOI reported by other REITs or real estate companies that define NOI differently.

We believe that, in order to facilitate a clear understanding of our operating results, NOI should be examined in conjunction with net income attributable to Boston Properties, Inc. common shareholders and net income attributable to Boston Properties Limited Partnership common unitholders as presented in our Consolidated Financial Statements. NOI should not be considered as a substitute for net income attributable to Boston Properties, Inc. common shareholders or net income attributable to Boston Properties Limited Partnership common unitholders (determined in accordance with GAAP) or any other GAAP financial measures and should only be considered together with and as a supplement to our financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.

The gains on sales of real estate, depreciation expense and impairment losses may differ between BXP and BPLP as a result of previously applied acquisition accounting by BXP for the issuance of common stock in connection with non-sponsor OP Unit redemptions by BPLP. This accounting resulted in a step-up of the real estate assets at BXP that was allocated to certain properties. The difference between the real estate assets of BXP as compared to BPLP for certain properties having an allocation of the real estate step-up will result in a corresponding difference in gains on sales of real estate, depreciation expense and impairment losses, when those properties are sold. For additional information see the Explanatory Note that follows the cover page of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Comparison of the three months ended March 31, 2022 to the three months ended March 31, 2021

The table below shows selected operating information for the Same Property Portfolio and the Total Property Portfolio. The Same Property Portfolio consists of 140 properties totaling approximately 39.6 million net rentable square feet, excluding unconsolidated joint ventures. The Same Property Portfolio includes properties acquired or placed in-service on or prior to January 1, 2021 and owned and in-service through March 31, 2022. The Total Property Portfolio includes the effects of the other properties either acquired, placed in-service, in development or redevelopment after January 1, 2021 or disposed of on or prior to March 31, 2022. This table includes a reconciliation from the Same Property Portfolio to the Total Property Portfolio by also providing information for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 with respect to the properties that were acquired, placed in-service, in development or redevelopment or sold.

(1)Rental Revenue is equal to Revenue less Development and Management Services Revenue and Direct Reimbursements of Payroll and Related Costs from Management Services Revenue per the Consolidated Statements of Operations, excluding the residential and hotel revenue that is noted below. We use Rental Revenue internally as a performance measure and in calculating other non-GAAP financial measures (e.g., NOI), which provides investors with information regarding our performance that is not immediately apparent from the comparable non-GAAP measures and allows investors to compare operating performance between periods.

(2)For a detailed discussion of NOI, including the reasons management believes NOI is useful to investors, see page 45. Residential Net Operating Income for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 is comprised of Residential Revenue of $12,966 and $9,175 less Residential Expenses of $6,432 and $6,127, respectively. Hotel Net Operating Loss for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 is comprised of Hotel Revenue of $4,557 and $632 less Hotel Expenses of $4,840 and $2,051, respectively, per the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Same Property Portfolio

Lease Revenue (Excluding Termination Income)

Lease revenue (excluding termination income) from the Same Property Portfolio increased by approximately $22.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to 2021. The increase was a result of our average revenue per square foot increasing by approximately $2.96, contributing approximately $25.7 million, partially offset by an approximately $2.8 million decrease due to our average occupancy decreasing from 91.5% to 91.1%.

Termination Income

Termination income decreased by approximately $2.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to 2021.

Termination income for the three months ended March 31, 2022 related to ten tenants across the Same Property Portfolio and totaled approximately $1.5 million, which was primarily related to tenants that terminated leases early in San Francisco. In addition, we received a distribution from our unsecured credit claim against Lehman Brothers, Inc. of approximately $0.6 million.

Termination income for the three months ended March 31, 2021 related to 11 tenants across the Same Property Portfolio and totaled approximately $4.3 million, of which $3.7 million was related to a retail tenant in the Boston region that closed all of its retail stores.

Parking and Other Revenue

Parking and other revenue increased by approximately $4.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to 2021. Parking revenue increased by approximately $6.2 million and was partially offset by a decrease in other revenue of approximately $1.5 million. The increase in parking revenue was primarily due to an increase in transient and monthly parking. The decrease in other revenue was due to a decrease in insurance proceeds received during the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to 2021.

Real Estate Operating Expenses

Real estate operating expenses from the Same Property Portfolio increased by approximately $10.8 million, or 4.3%, for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to 2021, due primarily to an increase of approximately $15.1 million, or 16.2%, in operating expenses, including cleaning, utilities, repairs and maintenance, and roads/grounds/security, and other real estate operating expenses of $1.7 million, or 7.9%, partially offset by a decrease in real estate taxes of approximately $6.0 million, or 4.5%. The increase in operating expenses is driven by an increase in physical tenant occupancy. The decrease in real estate taxes was primarily in New York City.

Properties Acquired Portfolio

The table below lists the properties acquired between January 1, 2021 and March 31, 2022. Rental revenue and real estate operating expenses increased by approximately $3.3 million and $0.7 million, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to 2021, as detailed below.

_______________

(1)Average Monthly Rental Rate is calculated as the average of the quotients obtained by dividing (A) rental revenue as determined in accordance with GAAP, by (B) the number of occupied units for each month within the applicable fiscal period.

(2)Average Physical Occupancy is defined as (1) the average number of occupied units divided by (2) the total number of units, expressed as a percentage.

(3)Average Economic Occupancy is defined as (1) total possible revenue less vacancy loss divided by (2) total possible revenue, expressed as a percentage. Total possible revenue is determined by valuing average occupied units at contract rates and average vacant units at Market Rents. Vacancy loss is determined by valuing vacant units at current Market Rents. By measuring vacant units at their Market Rents, Average Economic Occupancy takes into account the fact that units of different sizes and locations within a residential property have different economic impacts on a residential property’s total possible gross revenue. Market Rents used by us in calculating Economic Occupancy are based on the current market rates set by the managers of our residential properties based on their experience in renting their residential property’s units and publicly available market data. Actual market rents and trends in such rents for a region as reported by others may vary materially from Market Rents used by us. Market Rents for a period are based on the average Market Rents during that period and do not reflect any impact for cash concessions.

Hotel Net Operating Loss

The Boston Marriott Cambridge hotel property continues to operate at a loss, however, the net operating loss decreased by approximately $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to 2021.

The decreased demand for and occupancy of the Boston Marriott Cambridge hotel have had, and are expected to continue to have, a material adverse effect on its operations. We expect hotel occupancy to remain low until the demand for business and leisure travel returns to historical levels.

The following reflects our occupancy and rate information for the Boston Marriott Cambridge hotel for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.

Other Operating Revenue and Expense Items

Development and Management Services Revenue

Development and management services revenue decreased by approximately $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to 2021. Development services revenue and management services revenue decreased by approximately $0.9 million and $0.1 million, respectively. The decrease in development services revenue was primarily related to a decrease in development fees. The decrease in management services revenue was primarily related to a decrease in leasing commissions earned from a third-party owned building in the Washington, DC region, partially offset by an increase in asset management fees earned from an unconsolidated joint venture in Seattle.

General and Administrative Expense

General and administrative expense decreased by approximately $1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to 2021 primarily due to a decrease in compensation expense of approximately $3.6

Table of Contents

million, partially offset by an increase of approximately $1.8 million in other general and administrative expenses. The decrease in compensation expense primarily related to an approximately $4.0 million decrease in the value of our deferred compensation plan. The increase in other general and administrative expenses primarily related to an increase in professional fees.

Wages directly related to the development of rental properties are capitalized and included in real estate assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheets and amortized over the useful lives of the applicable asset or lease term. Capitalized wages for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 were approximately $4.0 million and $3.3 million, respectively. These costs are not included in the general and administrative expenses discussed above.

Transaction Costs

Transaction costs decreased by approximately $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to 2021 due primarily to joint venture formation costs that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2021. In general, transaction costs relating to the formation of new and pending joint ventures and the pursuit of other transactions are expensed as incurred.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense

Depreciation expense may differ between BXP and BPLP as a result of previously applied acquisition accounting by BXP for the issuance of common stock in connection with non-sponsor OP Unit redemptions by BPLP. This accounting resulted in a step-up of the real estate assets at BXP that was allocated to certain properties. The difference between the real estate assets of BXP as compared to BPLP for certain properties having an allocation of the real estate step-up will result in a corresponding difference in depreciation expense. For additional information see the Explanatory Note that follows the cover page of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Direct Reimbursements of Payroll and Related Costs From Management Services Contracts and Payroll and Related Costs From Management Service Contracts

We have determined that amounts reimbursed for payroll and related costs received from third parties in connection with management services contracts should be reflected on a gross basis instead of on a net basis as we have determined that we are the principal under these arrangements. We anticipate that these two financial statement line items will generally offset each other.

Other Income and Expense Items

Income from Unconsolidated Joint Ventures

For the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to 2021, income from unconsolidated joint ventures decreased by approximately $3.0 million due to a $10.3 million gain on sale of investment from the sale of our Annapolis Junction joint venture during the three months ended March 31, 2021. This decrease was partially offset by an approximately $6.9 million increase in net income from placing in-service (1) 7750 Wisconsin Avenue (Marriott International Headquarters) in Bethesda, Maryland, (2) 100 Causeway Street in Boston, Massachusetts and (3) increased leasing at the Hub50House residential property in Boston, Massachusetts.

Gains on Sales of Real Estate

Gains on sales of real estate may differ between BXP and BPLP as a result of previously applied acquisition accounting by BXP for the issuance of common stock in connection with non-sponsor OP Unit redemptions by BPLP. This accounting resulted in a step-up of the real estate assets at BXP that was allocated to certain properties. The difference between the real estate assets of BXP as compared to BPLP for certain properties having an allocation of the real estate step-up will result in a corresponding difference in the gains on sales of real estate when those properties are sold. For additional information, see the Explanatory Note that follows the cover page of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

BXP

Gains on sales of real estate increased by approximately $22.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to 2021. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we recognized a gain of approximately $22.7 million related to the sale of 195 West Street in Waltham, Massachusetts (See Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements).

BPLP

Gains on sales of real estate increased by approximately $23.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to 2021. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we recognized a gain of approximately $23.4 million related to the sale of 195 West Street in Waltham, Massachusetts (See Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements).

Table of Contents

Interest and Other Income (Loss)

Interest and other income (loss) increased by approximately $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to 2021, due to an approximately $0.1 million decrease in the allowance for current expected credit losses, which results in higher income.

Gains (Losses) from Investments in Securities

Gains (losses) from investments in securities for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 related to investments that we have made to reduce our market risk relating to deferred compensation plans that we maintain for BXP’s officers and former non-employee directors. Under the deferred compensation plans, each officer or non-employee director who is eligible to participate is permitted to defer a portion of the officer’s current income or the non-employee director’s compensation on a pre-tax basis and receive a tax-deferred return on these deferrals based on the performance of specific investments selected by the officer or non-employee director. In order to reduce our market risk relating to these plans, we typically acquire, in a separate account that is not restricted as to its use, similar or identical investments as those selected by each officer or non-employee director. This enables us to generally match our liabilities to BXP’s officers or former non-employee directors under our deferred compensation plans with equivalent assets and thereby limit our market risk. The performance of these investments is recorded as gains (losses) from investments in securities. During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, we recognized gains (losses) of approximately $(2.3) million and $1.7 million, respectively, on these investments. By comparison, our general and administrative expense increased (decreased) by approximately $(2.3) million and $1.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, as a result of increases (decreases) in our liability under our deferred compensation plans that was associated with the performance of the specific investments selected by officers and former non-employee directors of BXP participating in the plans.

Losses From Early Extinguishment of Debt

On February 14, 2021, BPLP completed the redemption of $850.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its 4.125% senior notes due May 15, 2021. The redemption price was approximately $858.7 million, which was equal to the stated principal plus approximately $8.7 million of accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the redemption date. Excluding the accrued and unpaid interest, the redemption price was equal to the principal amount being redeemed. We recognized a loss from early extinguishment of debt totaling approximately $0.4 million related to unamortized origination costs.

On March 16, 2021, BPLP repaid $500.0 million, representing all amounts outstanding on its delayed draw term loan facility (“Delayed Draw Facility”) under our prior unsecured revolving credit agreement (the “2017 Credit Facility”). We recognized a loss from early extinguishment of debt totaling approximately $0.5 million related to unamortized financing costs.

Interest Expense

Interest expense decreased by approximately $6.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to 2021, as detailed below.

Total change in interest expense	$	(6,674)

Interest expense directly related to the development of rental properties is capitalized and included in real estate assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheets and amortized over the useful lives of the real estate or lease term. As portions of properties are placed in-service, we cease capitalizing interest on that portion and interest is then expensed. Interest capitalized for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 was approximately $13.7 million and $12.0 million, respectively. These costs are not included in the interest expense referenced above.

At March 31, 2022, our outstanding variable rate debt consisted of BPLP’s $1.5 billion unsecured credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”). The Revolving Facility had $255 million outstanding as of March 31, 2022. For a summary of our consolidated debt as of March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021 refer to the heading “Liquidity and Capital Resources—Debt Financing” within “Item 2—Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

Noncontrolling Interests in Property Partnerships

Noncontrolling interests in property partnerships increased by approximately $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to 2021, as detailed below.

Noncontrolling Interest—Common Units of the Operating Partnership

For BXP, noncontrolling interest—common units of the Operating Partnership increased by approximately $5.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to 2021 due primarily to an increase in allocable income, which was partially the result of recognizing a greater gain on sales of real estate during 2022. Due to our ownership structure, there is no corresponding line item on BPLP’s financial statements.

Preferred Stock/Unit Redemption Charge

On March 2, 2021, BXP issued a redemption notice for 80,000 shares of its 5.25% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock”), which constituted all of the outstanding Series B Preferred Stock, and the corresponding depositary shares, each representing 1/100th of a share of Series B Preferred Stock. The redemption price per share of Series B Preferred Stock was $2,500, plus all accrued and unpaid dividends to, but not including, the redemption date, totaling $2,516.41 per share. On March 31, 2021, we transferred the full redemption price for all outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock, including accrued and unpaid dividends to, but not including, the redemption date, to the redemption agent. The excess of the redemption price over the carrying value of the Series B Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Units of approximately $6.4 million relates to the original issuance costs and is reflected as a reduction to Net Income Attributable to Boston Properties, Inc. common shareholders and Net Income Attributable to Boston Properties Limited Partnership common unitholders on the Consolidated Income Statement.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General

Our principal liquidity needs for the next twelve months and beyond are to:

•fund normal recurring expenses;

•meet debt service and principal repayment obligations, including balloon payments on maturing debt;

•fund development and redevelopment costs;

•fund capital expenditures, including major renovations, tenant improvements and leasing costs;

•fund pending and possible acquisitions of properties, either directly or indirectly through the acquisition of equity interests therein; and

•make the minimum distribution required to enable BXP to maintain its REIT qualification under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

We expect to satisfy these needs using one or more of the following:

•cash flow from operations;

•distribution of cash flows from joint ventures;

•cash and cash equivalent balances;

•borrowings under BPLP’s Revolving Facility, unsecured term loans, short-term bridge facilities and construction loans;

•long-term secured and unsecured indebtedness (including unsecured exchangeable indebtedness);

•sales of real estate;

•private equity sources through our Strategic Capital Program (“SCP”) with large institutional investors; and

•issuances of BXP equity securities and/or preferred or common units of partnership interests in BPLP.

We draw on multiple financing sources to fund our long-term capital needs. We expect to fund our current development/redevelopment properties primarily with our available cash balances, construction loans and BPLP’s Revolving Facility. We use BPLP’s Revolving Facility primarily as a bridge facility to fund acquisition opportunities, refinance outstanding indebtedness and meet short-term development and working capital needs. Although we may seek to fund our development projects with construction loans, which may require guarantees by BPLP, the financing for each particular project ultimately depends on several factors, including, among others, the project’s size and duration, the extent of pre-leasing and our available cash and access to cost effective capital at the given time.

Table of Contents

Lease revenue (which includes recoveries from tenants), other income from operations, available cash balances, mortgage financings, unsecured indebtedness and draws on BPLP’s Revolving Facility are the principal sources of capital that we use to fund operating expenses, debt service, maintenance and repositioning capital expenditures, tenant improvements and the minimum distribution required to enable BXP to maintain its REIT qualification. We seek to maximize income from our existing properties by maintaining quality standards for our properties that promote high occupancy rates and permit increases in rental rates while reducing tenant turnover and controlling operating expenses. Our sources of revenue also include third-party fees generated by our property management, leasing, development and construction businesses, as well as the sale of assets from time to time. We believe these sources of capital will continue to provide the funds necessary for our short-term liquidity needs, including our properties under development and redevelopment. Material adverse changes in one or more sources of capital, whether due to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic or otherwise, may adversely affect our net cash flows.

We expect our primary uses of capital over the next twelve months will be the commencement, continuation and completion of our current and committed development and redevelopment projects, the acquisition of Madison Centre, servicing the interest payments on our outstanding indebtedness and satisfying our REIT distribution requirements.

As of March 31, 2022, we had 11 properties under development or redevelopment. Our share of the remaining development and redevelopment costs that we expect to fund through 2026 was approximately $1.2 billion. In January 2022, we commenced the redevelopment of 651 Gateway in South San Francisco, California, a project in which we own a 50% interest, and in February 2022, we restarted the first phase of our Platform 16 development project in San Jose, California, a project in which we own a 55% interest (see Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements).

In July 2021, we announced the formation of an investment program with two partners committing a targeted equity investment of $1.0 billion, including $250 million from us. Under this agreement, we will provide these partners, for up to two years, exclusive first offers to form joint ventures with us to invest in assets that meet target criteria. All investments are discretionary to each partner.

The SCP provides us the opportunity to partner with large institutional investors and capitalize our investment opportunities partially through private equity. The SCP enhances our access to capital and investment capacity and further enhances our returns through fee income, and in certain partnerships, a greater share of income upon achieving certain success criteria. These large financial partners include some of the world’s largest sovereign wealth funds and pension plans. Our use of the SCP is consistent with our ongoing strategy to create value through opportunistic investments in high-quality office properties in markets with the strongest economic growth over time while maintaining a strong balance sheet and modest leverage.

On April 14, 2022, we entered into an agreement to purchase Madison Centre, an approximately 760,000 square foot, 37-story Class A office building in Seattle, Washington for a gross purchase price of $730.0 million. The acquisition is expected to close in the second quarter of this year and will be initially funded with a one-year, $730.0 million unsecured term loan. We anticipate ultimately funding the acquisition through incremental asset sales, which we anticipate would be structured as like-kind exchanges, or joint venture equity.

We have no debt maturities until September 2023. Our unconsolidated joint ventures have one loan maturing in 2022, of which our share of the aggregate outstanding principal is approximately $88.2 million. We are currently in the market to refinance this maturity with a mortgage debt in an amount equal to or greater than the current balance. There can be no assurance that we will complete this refinancing on the terms currently contemplated or at all.

As of April 25, 2022, we had available cash of approximately $313.8 million (of which approximately $103.8 million is attributable to our consolidated joint venture partners). Although the future impact of COVID-19 on our liquidity and capital resources will depend on a wide range of factors, we believe that our access to capital and our strong liquidity, including the approximately $1.3 billion available under the Revolving Facility and our available cash, as of April 25, 2022, are sufficient to fund our remaining capital requirements on existing development and redevelopment projects, fund acquisitions, repay our maturing indebtedness when due, satisfy our REIT distribution requirements and still allow us to act opportunistically on attractive investment opportunities.

Table of Contents

We may seek to enhance our liquidity to fund our current and future development activity, pursue additional attractive investment opportunities and refinance or repay indebtedness. Depending on interest rates, the overall conditions in the debt and public and private equity markets, and our leverage at the time, we may decide to access one or more of these capital sources (including utilization of BXP’s $600.0 million “at the market” equity offering program). Doing so may result in us carrying additional cash and cash equivalents pending our use of the proceeds, which could increase our net interest expense or be dilutive to our earnings, or both.

We have not sold any shares under BXP’s $600.0 million “at the market” equity offering program.

REIT Tax Distribution Considerations

Dividend

BXP as a REIT is subject to a number of organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that BXP currently distribute at least 90% of its annual taxable income (excluding capital gains and with certain other adjustments). Our policy is for BXP to distribute at least 100% of its taxable income, including capital gains, to avoid paying federal tax. Common and LTIP unitholders of limited partnership interest in BPLP receive the same total distribution per unit.

BXP’s Board of Directors will continue to evaluate BXP’s dividend rate in light of our actual and projected taxable income (including gains on sales), liquidity requirements and other circumstances and there can be no assurance that the future dividends declared by BXP’s Board of Directors will not differ materially from the current quarterly dividend amount.

Sales

To the extent that we sell assets at a gain and cannot efficiently use the proceeds in a tax deferred manner for either our development activities or attractive acquisitions, BXP would, at the appropriate time, decide whether it is better to declare a special dividend, adopt a stock repurchase program, reduce indebtedness or retain the cash for future investment opportunities. Such a decision will depend on many factors including, among others, the timing, availability and terms of development and acquisition opportunities, our then-current and anticipated leverage, the cost and availability of capital from other sources, the price of BXP’s common stock and REIT distribution requirements. At a minimum, we expect that BXP would distribute at least that amount of proceeds necessary for BXP to avoid paying corporate level tax on the applicable gains realized from any asset sales.

From time to time in select cases, whether due to a change in use, structuring issues to comply with applicable REIT regulations or other reasons, we may sell an asset that is held by a taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”). Such a sale by a TRS would be subject to federal and local taxes.

Cash Flow Summary

The following summary discussion of our cash flows is based on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and is not meant to be an all-inclusive discussion of the changes in our cash flows for the periods presented below.

Cash and cash equivalents and cash held in escrows aggregated approximately $482.3 million and $949.2 million at March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, representing a decrease of approximately $466.8 million. The following table sets forth changes in cash flows:


	Three months ended March 31,
	2022		2021		Change
	(in thousands)
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	219,490	$	152,063	$	67,427
Net cash used in investing activities	(151,335)		(242,273)		90,938
Net cash used in financing activities	(86,970)		(679,936)		592,966

Our principal source of cash flow is related to the operation of our properties. The weighted-average term of our in-place leases, excluding residential units, was approximately 7.9 years as of March 31, 2022, including leases signed by our unconsolidated joint ventures, with occupancy rates historically in the range of 88% to 94%. Generally, our properties generate a relatively consistent stream of cash flow that provides us with resources to pay operating expenses, debt service and fund regular quarterly dividend and distribution payment requirements. In

Table of Contents

addition, over the past several years, we have raised capital through the sale of some of our properties and through secured and unsecured borrowings.

Cash is used in investing activities to fund acquisitions, development, net investments in unconsolidated joint ventures and maintenance and repositioning capital expenditures. We selectively invest in new projects that enable us to take advantage of our development, leasing, financing and property management skills and invest in existing buildings to enhance or maintain our market position. Cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2022 consisted primarily of development projects, building and tenant improvements and capital contributions to unconsolidated joint ventures, partially offset by proceeds from the sales of real estate and distributions from unconsolidated joint ventures. Cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2021 consisted primarily of development projects, building and tenant improvements and capital contributions to unconsolidated joint ventures, partially offset by the proceeds from the sale of investment in unconsolidated joint ventures, as detailed below:

Investments in securities, net	5,338		2,114
Net cash used in investing activities	$	(151,335)	$	(242,273)

Cash used in investing activities changed primarily due to the following:

(1)Construction in progress for the three months ended March 31, 2022 included ongoing expenditures associated with Reston Next, which is partially placed in-service. In addition, we incurred costs associated with our continued development/redevelopment of 325 Main Street, 2100 Pennsylvania Avenue, 180 CityPoint, View Boston Observatory at The Prudential Center, 880 Winter Street and 103 CityPoint.

Construction in progress for the three months ended March 31, 2021 included ongoing expenditures associated with One Five Nine East 53rd Street, which was completed and fully placed in-service during the three months ended March 31, 2021. In addition, we incurred costs associated with our continued development/redevelopment of 200 West Street, 325 Main Street, 2100 Pennsylvania Avenue, Reston Next, 180 CityPoint, View Boston Observatory at The Prudential Center and 880 Winter Street.

(2)On March 31, 2022, we completed the sale of 195 West Street located in Waltham, Massachusetts for a gross sale price of $37.7 million. Net cash proceeds totaled approximately $35.4 million, resulting in a gain on sale of real estate totaling approximately $22.7 million for BXP and approximately $23.4 million for BPLP. 195 West Street is an approximately 63,500 net rentable square foot Class A office property.

(3)Capital contributions to unconsolidated joint ventures for the three months ended March 31, 2022 consisted primarily of cash contributions of approximately $14.1 million and $7.9 million to our Gateway Commons and Platform 16 joint ventures, respectively.

Capital contributions to unconsolidated joint ventures for the three months ended March 31, 2021 consisted primarily of cash contributions of approximately $11.4 million to our Santa Monica Business Park joint venture.

(4)Capital distributions from unconsolidated joint ventures for the three months ended March 31, 2022 consisted primarily of a cash distribution totaling approximately $20.1 million from our Metropolitan Square joint venture resulting from the excess proceeds from the refinancing of the mortgage and mezzanine loans on the property.

Table of Contents

(5)On March 30, 2021, we completed the sale of our 50% ownership interest in Annapolis Junction NFM LLC to the joint venture partner for a gross sale price of $65.9 million. Net cash proceeds to us totaled approximately $17.8 million after repayment of our share of debt totaling approximately $15.1 million.

Cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2022 totaled approximately $87.0 million. This amount consisted primarily of the payment of our regular dividends and distributions to our shareholders and unitholders and borrowing under BPLP’s Revolving Facility. Future debt payments are discussed below under the heading “Debt Financing.”

Consolidated Debt to Consolidated Market Capitalization Ratio is a measure of leverage commonly used by analysts in the REIT sector. We present this measure as a percentage and it is calculated by dividing (A) our consolidated debt by (B) our consolidated market capitalization, which is the market value of our outstanding equity securities plus our consolidated debt. Consolidated market capitalization is the sum of:

(1) our consolidated debt; plus

(2) the product of (x) the closing price per share of BXP Common Stock on March 31, 2022, as reported by the New York Stock Exchange, multiplied by (y) the sum of:

(i) the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock of BXP,

(ii) the number of outstanding OP Units in BPLP (excluding OP Units held by BXP),

Table of Contents

(iii) the number of OP Units issuable upon conversion of all outstanding LTIP Units, assuming all conditions have been met for the conversion of the LTIP Units, and

(iv) the number of OP Units issuable upon conversion of 2012 OPP Units, 2013 - 2019 MYLTIP Units that were issued in the form of LTIP Units.

The calculation of consolidated market capitalization does not include LTIP Units issued in the form of MYLTIP Awards unless and until certain performance thresholds are achieved and they are earned. Because their three-year performance periods have not yet ended, 2020 - 2022 MYLTIP Units are not included in this calculation as of March 31, 2022.

We also present BXP’s Share of Market Capitalization and BXP’s Share of Debt/BXP’s Share of Market Capitalization, which are calculated in the same manner, except that BXP’s Share of Debt is utilized instead of our consolidated debt in both the numerator and the denominator. BXP’s Share of Debt is defined as our consolidated debt plus our share of debt from our unconsolidated joint ventures (calculated based upon our ownership percentage), minus our partners’ share of debt from our consolidated joint ventures (calculated based upon the partners’ percentage ownership interests adjusted for basis differentials). Management believes that BXP’s Share of Debt provides useful information to investors regarding our financial condition because it includes our share of debt from unconsolidated joint ventures and excludes our partners’ share of debt from consolidated joint ventures, in each case presented on the same basis. We have several significant joint ventures and presenting various measures of financial condition in this manner can help investors better understand our financial condition and/or results of operations after taking into account our economic interest in these joint ventures. We caution investors that the ownership percentages used in calculating BXP’s Share of Debt may not completely and accurately depict all of the legal and economic implications of holding an interest in a consolidated or unconsolidated joint venture. For example, in addition to partners’ interests in profits and capital, venture agreements vary in the allocation of rights regarding decision making (both for routine and major decisions), distributions, transferability of interests, financing and guarantees, liquidations and other matters. Moreover, in some cases we exercise significant influence over, but do not control, the joint venture in which case GAAP requires that we account for the joint venture entity using the equity method of accounting and we do not consolidate it for financial reporting purposes. In other cases, GAAP requires that we consolidate the venture even though our partner(s) own(s) a significant percentage interest. As a result, management believes that the presentation of BXP’s Share of a financial measure should not be considered a substitute for, and should only be considered with and as a supplement to our financial information presented in accordance with GAAP.

We present these supplemental ratios because our degree of leverage could affect our ability to obtain additional financing for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, development or other general corporate purposes and because different investors and lenders consider one or both of these ratios. Investors should understand that these ratios are, in part, a function of the market price of the common stock of BXP and as such will fluctuate with changes in such price, and they do not necessarily reflect our capacity to incur additional debt to finance our activities or our ability to manage our existing debt obligations. However, for a company like BXP, whose assets are primarily income-producing real estate, these ratios may provide investors with an alternate indication of leverage, so long as they are evaluated along with the ratio of indebtedness to other measures of asset value used by financial analysts and other financial ratios, as well as the various components of our outstanding indebtedness.

Debt Financing

As of March 31, 2022, we had approximately $13.0 billion of outstanding consolidated indebtedness, representing approximately 36.60% of our Consolidated Market Capitalization as calculated above consisting of approximately (1) $9.5 billion (net of discount and deferred financing fees) in publicly traded unsecured senior notes having a GAAP weighted-average interest rate of 3.43% per annum and maturities in 2023 through 2033, (2) $3.3 billion (net of deferred financing fees) of property-specific mortgage debt having a GAAP weighted-average interest rate of 3.42% per annum and a weighted-average term of 6.6 years and (3) $255.0 million outstanding under BPLP’s Revolving Facility that matures on June 15, 2026.

Unsecured Credit Facility

On June 15, 2021, BPLP amended and restated its prior credit facility (as amended and restated, the “2021 Credit Facility”). The 2021 Credit Facility provides for borrowings of up to $1.5 billion through the Revolving Facility, subject to customary conditions. Among other things, the 2021 Credit Facility (1) extended the maturity date from April 24, 2022 to June 15, 2026, (2) eliminated the $500.0 million delayed draw facility (3) reduced the per annum variable interest rates on borrowings and (4) added a sustainability-linked pricing component. Under the 2021 Credit Facility, BPLP may increase the total commitment by up to $500.0 million by increasing the amount of the Revolving Facility and/or by incurring one or more term loans, in each case, subject to syndication of the increase and other conditions. Based on BPLP’s March 31, 2022 credit rating, (1) the applicable Eurocurrency and LIBOR

Table of Contents

Daily Floating Rate margins are 0.775%, (2) the alternate base rate margin is 0 basis points and (3) the facility fee is 0.15% per annum.

At March 31, 2022, BPLP had $255.0 million of borrowings under its Revolving Facility and outstanding letters of credit totaling approximately $6.3 million, with the ability to borrow approximately $1.2 billion. At April 25, 2022, BPLP had $215.0 million of borrowings under its Revolving Facility and outstanding letters of credit totaling approximately $6.3 million, with the ability to borrow approximately $1.3 billion.

(1)GAAP interest rate differs from the stated interest rate due to the inclusion of the amortization of financing charges and the effects of hedging transactions (if any).

(2)The mortgage loan requires interest only payments with a balloon payment due at maturity.

(3)This property is owned by a consolidated entity in which we have a 60% interest. The partners’ share of the carrying amount has been adjusted for basis differentials.

(4)In connection with the refinancing of the loan, we guaranteed the consolidated entity’s obligation to fund various reserves for tenant improvement costs and allowances, leasing commissions and free rent obligations in lieu of cash deposits. As of March 31, 2022, the maximum funding obligation under the guarantee was approximately $17.7 million. We earn a fee from the joint venture for providing the guarantee and have an agreement with our partners to reimburse the joint venture for their share of any payments made under the guarantee (See Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements).

(5)This property is owned by a consolidated entity in which we have a 55% interest.

Investment in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures - Secured Debt

We have investments in unconsolidated joint ventures with our effective ownership interests ranging from 20% to 55%. Fifteen of these ventures have mortgage indebtedness. We exercise significant influence over, but do not control, these entities. As a result, we account for them using the equity method of accounting. See also Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. At March 31, 2022, the aggregate carrying amount of debt, including both our and our partners’ share, incurred by these ventures was approximately $3.4 billion (of which our proportionate share is approximately $1.4 billion). The table below summarizes the outstanding debt of these joint venture properties at March 31, 2022. In addition to other guarantees specifically noted in the table, we have agreed to customary environmental indemnifications and nonrecourse carve-outs (e.g., guarantees against fraud, misrepresentation and bankruptcy) as well as the completion of development projects on certain of the loans.

State and Local Tax Matters

Because BXP is organized and qualifies as a REIT, it is generally not subject to federal income taxes, but is subject to certain state and local taxes. In the normal course of business, certain entities through which we own real estate either have undergone, or are currently undergoing, tax audits or other inquiries. Although we believe that we have substantial arguments in favor of our position in the ongoing audits, in some instances there is no controlling precedent or interpretive guidance on the specific point at issue. Collectively, tax deficiency notices received to date from the jurisdictions conducting the ongoing audits have not been material. However, there can be no assurance that future audits will not occur with increased frequency or that the ultimate result of such audits will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

Insurance

For information concerning our insurance program, see Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Funds from Operations

Pursuant to the revised definition of Funds from Operations adopted by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“Nareit”), we calculate Funds from Operations, or “FFO,” for each of BXP and BPLP by adjusting net income (loss) attributable to Boston Properties, Inc. common shareholders and net income (loss) attributable to Boston Properties Limited Partnership common unitholders (computed in accordance with GAAP), respectively, for gains (or losses) from sales of properties, impairment losses on depreciable real estate consolidated on our balance sheet, impairment losses on our investments in unconsolidated joint ventures

Table of Contents

driven by a measurable decrease in the fair value of depreciable real estate held by the unconsolidated joint ventures and our share of real estate-related depreciation and amortization. FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure. We believe the presentation of FFO, combined with the presentation of required GAAP financial measures, improves the understanding of operating results of REITs among the investing public and helps make comparisons of REIT operating results more meaningful. Management generally considers FFO to be useful measures for understanding and comparing our operating results because, by excluding gains and losses related to sales of previously depreciated operating real estate assets, impairment losses and real estate asset depreciation and amortization (which can differ across owners of similar assets in similar condition based on historical cost accounting and useful life estimates), FFO can help investors compare the operating performance of a company’s real estate across reporting periods and to the operating performance of other companies.

Our computation of FFO may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs or real estate companies that do not define the term in accordance with the current Nareit definition or that interpret the current Nareit definition differently. We believe that in order to facilitate a clear understanding of our operating results, FFO should be examined in conjunction with net income attributable to Boston Properties, Inc. common shareholders and net income attributable to Boston Properties Limited Partnership as presented in our Consolidated Financial Statements. FFO should not be considered as a substitute for net income attributable to Boston Properties, Inc. common shareholders or net income attributable to Boston Properties Limited Partnership common unitholders (determined in accordance with GAAP) or any other GAAP financial measures and should only be considered together with and as a supplement to our financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Material Cash Commitments

We have various service contracts with vendors related to our property management. In addition, we have certain other contracts we enter into in the ordinary course of business that may extend beyond one year. These contracts include terms that provide for cancellation with insignificant or no cancellation penalties. Contract terms are generally between three and five years.

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we paid approximately $70.1 million to fund tenant-related obligations, including tenant improvements and leasing commissions.

In addition, during the three months ended March 31, 2022, we and our unconsolidated joint venture partners incurred approximately $90.8 million of new tenant-related obligations associated with approximately 1.2 million square feet of second generation leases, or approximately $79 per square foot. We signed approximately 21,000 square feet of first generation leases. The tenant-related obligations for the development properties are included within the projects’ “Estimated Total Investment” referred to in “Item 2—Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources.” In aggregate during the first quarter of 2022, we signed leases for approximately 1.2 million square feet of space and incurred aggregate tenant-related obligations of approximately $94.9 million, or approximately $80 per square foot.

ITEM 3—Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

The following table presents the aggregate carrying value of our mortgage notes payable, net, unsecured senior notes, net, unsecured line of credit and our corresponding estimate of fair value as of March 31, 2022. As of March 31, 2022, approximately $12.8 billion of these borrowings bore interest at fixed rates and therefore the fair value of these instruments is affected by changes in the market interest rates. As of March 31, 2022, the weighted-average interest rate on our variable rate debt was LIBOR plus 0.775% (1.02%) per annum. The following table presents our aggregate debt obligations with corresponding weighted-average interest rates sorted by maturity date.

The table below does not include our unconsolidated joint venture debt. For a discussion concerning our unconsolidated joint venture debt, see Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements and “Item 2—Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Investment in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures - Secured Debt.”

At March 31, 2022, the weighted-average coupon/stated rates on the fixed rate debt stated above was 3.32% per annum. At March 31, 2022, our outstanding variable rate debt based on LIBOR totaled

approximately $255.0 million. At March 31, 2022, the coupon/stated rate on our variable rate debt was

approximately 1.02% per annum. If market interest rates on our variable rate debt had been 100 basis points greater, total interest expense would have increased approximately $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

The fair value amounts were determined solely by considering the impact of hypothetical interest rates on our financial instruments. Due to the uncertainty of specific actions, we may undertake to minimize possible effects of market interest rate increases, this analysis assumes no changes in our financial structure.

On March 5, 2021, the Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) announced that USD LIBOR will no longer be published after June 30, 2023. This announcement has several implications, including setting the spread that may be used to automatically convert contracts from LIBOR to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”). Additionally, banking regulators are encouraging banks to discontinue new LIBOR debt issuances by December 31, 2021.

We anticipate that LIBOR will continue to be available at least until June 30, 2023. Any changes adopted by the FCA or other governing bodies in the method used for determining LIBOR may result in a sudden or prolonged increase or decrease in reported LIBOR. If that were to occur, our interest payments could change. In addition, uncertainty about the extent and manner of future changes may result in interest rates and/or payments that are higher or lower than if LIBOR were to remain available in its current form.

We and our unconsolidated joint ventures have contracts that are indexed to LIBOR and we are monitoring and evaluating the related risks. These risks arise in connection with transitioning contracts to an alternative rate, including any resulting value transfer that may occur, and are likely to vary by contract. The value of loans, securities, or derivative instruments tied to LIBOR, as well as interest rates on our unconsolidated joint ventures current or future indebtedness, may also be impacted if LIBOR is limited or discontinued. For some instruments the method of transitioning to an alternative reference rate may be challenging, especially if we cannot agree with the respective counterparty about how to make the transition.

Table of Contents

While we expect LIBOR to be available in substantially its current form until at least the end of June 30, 2023, it is possible that LIBOR will become unavailable prior to that point. This could result, for example, if a sufficient number of banks decline to make submissions to the LIBOR administrator. In that case, the risks associated with the transition to an alternative reference rate will be accelerated and magnified.

Alternative rates and other market changes related to the replacement of LIBOR, including the introduction of financial products and changes in market practices, may lead to risk modeling and valuation challenges, such as adjusting interest rate accrual calculations and building a term structure for an alternative rate.

The introduction of an alternative rate also may create additional basis risk and increased volatility as alternative rates are phased in and utilized in parallel with LIBOR.

Adjustments to systems and mathematical models to properly process and account for alternative rates will be required, which may strain the model risk management and information technology functions and result in substantial incremental costs for us.

Except to the extent updated below or to the extent additional factual information disclosed elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q relates to such risk factors (including, without limitation, the matters discussed in Part I, “Item 2—Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”), there were no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Enhanced market and economic volatility due to adverse economic and geopolitical conditions, such as the war in Ukraine, health crises or dislocations in the credit markets, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and ability to pay dividends and/or distributions.

Our business may be adversely affected by market and economic volatility experienced by the U.S. and global economies, the real estate industry as a whole and/or the local economies in the markets in which our properties are located, Such adverse economic and geopolitical conditions may be due to, among other issues, increased labor market challenges impacting the recruitment and retention of talent, rising inflation and interest rates, volatility in the public equity and debt markets, and international economic and other conditions, including pandemics, geopolitical instability (such as the war in Ukraine), sanctions and other conditions beyond our control. These current conditions, or similar conditions existing in the future, may adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition and ability to pay dividends and/or distributions as a result of one or more of the following, among other potential consequences:

•the financial condition of our tenants may be adversely affected, which may result in tenant defaults under leases due to bankruptcy, lack of liquidity, lack of funding, operational failures or for other reasons;

•significant job losses may occur, which may decrease demand for our office space, causing market rental rates and property values to be negatively impacted;

•tightening labor market conditions may adversely affect our ability to recruit and retain talent, which may result in lack of business continuity and increased costs to address the labor challenges;

•our ability to borrow on terms and conditions that we find acceptable, or at all, may be limited, which could reduce our ability to pursue acquisition and development opportunities and refinance existing debt, reduce our returns from our acquisition and development activities and increase our future interest expense;

•reduced values of our properties may limit our ability to dispose of assets at attractive prices or to obtain debt financing secured by our properties and may reduce the availability of unsecured loans;

•the value and liquidity of our short-term investments and cash deposits could be reduced as a result of a deterioration of the financial condition of the institutions that hold our cash deposits or the institutions or assets in which we have made short-term investments, a dislocation of the markets for our short-term investments, increased volatility in market rates for such investments or other factors;

•one or more lenders under our line of credit could refuse to fund their financing commitment to us or could fail and we may not be able to replace the financing commitment of any such lenders on favorable terms, or at all; and

•to the extent we enter into derivative financial instruments, one or more counterparties to our derivative financial instruments could default on their obligations to us, or could fail, increasing the risk that we may not realize the benefits of these instruments.
