Forward-Looking Statements
This annual report on Form 10-K, together with other statements and information publicly disseminated by us, contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. We intend such 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 include this statement for purposes of complying with those safe harbor provisions. Forward-looking statements, which are based on certain assumptions and describe our future plans, strategies and expectations, are generally identifiable by use of the words “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “project,” or similar expressions. You should not rely on forward-looking statements since they involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which are, in some cases, beyond our control and which could materially affect actual results, performances or achievements. Factors which may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include, but are not limited to, (i) disruptions in financial markets, (ii) general economic and local real estate conditions, (iii) the inability of major tenants to continue paying their rent obligations due to bankruptcy, insolvency or general downturn in their business, (iv) financing risks, such as the inability to obtain equity, debt, or other sources of financing on favorable terms and changes in LIBOR availability, (v) changes in governmental laws and regulations, (vi) the level and volatility of interest rates, (vii) the availability of suitable acquisition opportunities, (viii) the ability to dispose of properties, (ix) changes in expected development activity, (x) increases in operating costs, (xi) tax matters, including the effect of changes in tax laws and the failure to qualify as a real estate investment trust, and (xii) investments through real estate joint ventures and partnerships, which involve risks not present in investments in which we are the sole investor. Accordingly, there is no assurance that our expectations will be realized. For further discussion of the factors that could materially affect the outcome of our forward-looking statements and our future results and financial condition, see “Item 1A. Risk Factors.”
PART I
ITEM 1. Business
General Development of Business.    Weingarten Realty Investors is a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) organized under the Texas Business Organizations Code. We, and our predecessor entity, began the ownership and development of shopping centers and other commercial real estate in 1948. Our primary business is leasing space to tenants in the shopping centers we own or lease. We also provide property management services for which we charge fees to either joint ventures where we are partners or other outside owners.
See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in Item 7 and the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20142017, for information on certain recent developments of the Company.
Financial Information about Segments.    We are in the business of owning, managing and developing retail shopping centers. As each of our centers has similar characteristics and amenities, our operations have been aggregated into one reportable segment. See the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for further information regarding reportable segments.
Narrative Description of Business.    At December 31, 20142017, we owned or operated under long-term leases, either directly or through our interest in real estate joint ventures or partnerships, a total of 234 developed income-producing204 properties, and three properties under various stages of construction and development, which are located in 2117 states spanning the country from coast to coast. The portfolio of properties contains approximately 45.341.3 million square feet of gross leasable area that is either owned by us or others.
We also owned interests in 3425 parcels of land held for development that totaled approximately 25.318.0 million square feet.
At December 31, 20142017, we employed 315281 full-time persons; our principal executive offices are located at 2600 Citadel Plaza Drive, Houston, Texas 77008; and our phone number is (713) 866-6000. We also have 10 regional offices located in various parts of the United States (“U.S.”).

Investment and Operating Strategy.    Our goal is to remain a leader in owning and operating top-tier neighborhood and community shopping centers in certain markets of the U.S. We expect to achieve this goal by:
raising net asset value and cash flows through quality acquisitions, redevelopments and new developments;
strategic focus on core operating fundamentals through our decentralized operating platform built on local expertise in leasing and property management;
selective redevelopment of the existing portfolio of properties in order to enhance and maintain high quality centers;
disciplined growth from strategic acquisitions and new developments;
disposition of assets that no longer meet our ownership criteria, in which proceeds may be recycled by repaying debt, purchasing new assets or reinvesting in currently owned assets or for other corporate purposes; and
commitment to maintaining a conservatively leveraged balance sheet, strong liquidity, a well-staggered debt maturity schedule and strong credit agency ratings.
We may either purchase, develop or lease income-producing properties in the future, and may also participate with other entities in property ownership through partnerships, joint ventures or similar types of co-ownership.
We may invest in mortgages; however, we have traditionally invested in first mortgages to real estate joint ventures or partnerships in which we own an equity interest or to obtain control over a real estate asset that we desire to own. We may also invest in securities of other issuers for the purpose, among others, of exercising control over such entities, subject to the gross income and asset tests necessary for REIT qualification.
In acquiring and developing properties, we attempt to accumulate enough properties in a geographic area to allow for the establishment of a regional office, which enables us to obtain in-depth knowledge of the market from a leasing perspective and to have easy access to the property and our tenants from a management viewpoint.
We expect to continue our focus on the future growth of the portfolio in neighborhood and community shopping centers in markets where we currently operate and may expand to other markets throughout the U.S. Our markets of interest reflect high income and job growth, as well as high barriers-to-entry. Our attention is also focused on high quality, supermarket-anchored and necessity-based centers.centers, which may include mixed-use properties containing this type of retail component.
Diversification from both a geographic and tenancy perspective is a critical component of our operating strategy. We continue to seek opportunities outside theOur largest markets are located in California, Florida and Texas, market, where approximately 27.8%which represent 11.2%, 18.0% and 28.4%, respectively, of theour total properties' gross leasable area of our properties is located, down from 28.2% in 2013.area. With respect to tenant diversification, our two largest tenants, The Kroger Co. and TJX Companies, Inc., accounted for 3.5%2.8% and 2.3%, respectively, of our total base minimum rental revenues for the year ended December 31, 20142017. No other tenant accounted for more than 1.8%1.9% of our total base minimum rental revenues. Our anchor tenants are supermarkets, value-oriented apparel/discount stores and other retailers or service providers who generally sell basic necessity-type goods and services. We believe the stability of our anchor tenants, combined with convenient locations, attractive and well-maintained properties, high quality retailers and a strong tenant mix, should ensure the long-term success of our merchants and the viability of our portfolio.
Strategically, we strive to finance our growth and working capital needs in a conservative manner, including managing our debt maturities. Our senior debt credit ratings were BBB with a projected stable outlook from Standard & Poors and Baa2Baa1 with a projected positivestable outlook from Moody’s Investor Services as of December 31, 20142017. We intend to maintain a conservative approach to managing our balance sheet, which, in turn, should give us many options for raising debt or equity capital when needed. At December 31, 20142017 and 2013,2016, our ratio of earnings to combined fixed charges and preferred dividends as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), not based on funds from operations attributable to common shareholders, was 3.094.74 to 1 and 1.724.05 to 1, respectively. Our debt to total assets before depreciation ratio was 40.0%38.6% and 43.5%42.0% at December 31, 20142017 and 2013,2016, respectively.
We have a $200 million share repurchase plan under which we may repurchase common shares of beneficial interest ("common shares") from time-to-time in open-market or privately negotiated purchases based on management's evaluation of market conditions and other factors.
Our policies with respect to the investment and operating strategies discussed above are periodically reviewed by our Board of Trust Managers and may be modified without a vote of our shareholders.

Location of Properties.    Our properties are located in 2117 states, primarily throughoutprincipally in the southern halfSouth, West Coast and Southeast Coast of the country.U.S. As of December 31, 2014,2017, we have 237204 properties (including three properties under development) that were owned or operated under long-term leases, either directly or through our interest in real estate joint ventures or partnerships. Total revenues less operating expenses and real estate taxes from continuing operations ("net operating income from continuing operations") generated by our propertiescenters located in Houston and its surrounding areas was 19.7%19.6% of total net operating income from continuing operationsrevenue for the year ended December 31, 2014,2017, and an additional 9.8%9.2% of net operating income from continuing operationstotal revenue was generated in 20142017 from propertiescenters that are located in other parts of Texas. An additional 17.5% and 16.7%, respectively, of total revenue was generated in 2017 in Florida and California. As of December 31, 20142017, we also had 3425 parcels of land held for development, eightsix of which were located in Houston and its surrounding areas and 1211 of which were located in other parts of Texas. Because of our investments in Texas, including Houston and its surrounding areas, as well as in other parts of Texas, the HoustonFlorida and TexasCalifornia, these economies could affect to a large degree, our business and operations.operations more so than in other geographic areas.

Competition.    We compete with numerous other developers and real estate companies (both public and private), financial institutions and other investors engaged in the development, acquisition and operation of shopping centers in our trade areas. This results in competition for the acquisition of both existing income-producing properties and prime development sites.
We also compete for tenants to occupy the space that is developed, acquired and managed by our competitors. The principal competitive factors in attracting tenants in our market areas are location, price, anchor tenants and maintenance of properties. We believe our key competitive advantages include the favorable locations of our properties, the strong demographics surrounding our centers, knowledge of markets and customer bases, our ability to provide a retailer with multiple locations with quality anchor tenants and the practice of continuous maintenance and renovation of our properties.
Qualification as a Real Estate Investment Trust.    As of December 31, 20142017, we met the qualification requirements of a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code, as amended. As a result, we will not be subject to federal income tax to the extent we meet certain requirements of the Internal Revenue Code, with the exception of our taxable REIT subsidiary.

Financial Information.    Additional financial information concerning us is included in the Consolidated Financial Statements located in Item 8 herein.
ITEM 1A. Risk Factors
The risks described below could materially and adversely affect our shareholders and our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows. In addition to these risks, our operations may also be affected by additional factors not presently known or that we currently consider immaterial to our operations.

3


Disruptions in the financial markets could affect our liquidity and have other adverse effects on us and the market price of our common shares of beneficial interest.
The U.S. and global equity and credit markets have experienced and may in the future experience significant price volatility, dislocations and liquidity disruptions, which could cause market prices of many stocks to fluctuate substantially and the spreads on prospective debt financings to widen considerably. These circumstances could materially impact liquidity in the financial markets, making terms for certain financings less attractive, and in certain cases result in the unavailability of certain types of financing. Uncertainties in the equity and credit markets may negatively impact our ability to access additional financing at reasonable terms or at all, which may negatively affect our ability to complete dispositions, form joint ventures or refinance our debt. A prolonged downturn in the equity or credit markets could cause us to seek alternative sources of potentially less attractive financing, and require us to adjust our business plan accordingly. In addition, these factors may make it more difficult for us to sell properties or adversely affect the price we receive for properties that we do sell, as prospective buyers may experience increased costs of financing or difficulties in obtaining financing. These events in the equity and credit markets may make it more difficult or costly for us to raise capital through the issuance of our common shares of beneficial interest (“common shares”) or preferred shares. These disruptions in the financial markets also may have a material adverse effect on the market value of our common shares and preferred shares and other adverse effects on us or the economy generally. There can be no assurances that government responses to theany disruptions in the financial markets will continue towould restore consumer confidence, maintain stabilized markets or continue to provide the availability of equity or credit financing.

Among the market conditions that may affect the value of our common shares and preferred shares and access to the capital markets are the following:
The attractiveness of REIT securities as compared to other securities, including securities issued by other real estate companies, fixed income equity securities and debt securities;
Changes in revenues or earnings estimates or publication of research reports and recommendations by financial analysts or actions taken by rating agencies with respect to our securities or those of other REITs;
The degree of interest held by institutional investors;
The market's perception of the quality of our assets and our growth potential;
The ability of our tenants to pay rent to us and meet their other obligations to us under current lease terms;
Our ability to re-lease space as leases expire;
Our ability to refinance our indebtedness as it matures;
Actual or anticipated quarterly fluctuations in our operating results and financial condition;
Any changes in our distributiondividend policy;
Any future issuances of equity securities;
Strategic actions by us or our competitors, such as acquisitions or restructurings;
General market conditions and, in particular, developments related to market conditions for the real estate industry; and
Domestic and international economic and political factors unrelated to our performance.
The volatility in the stock market can create price and volume fluctuations that may not necessarily be comparable to operating performance.
The economic performance and value of our shopping centers depend on many factors, each of which could have an adverse impact on our cash flows and operating results.
The economic performance and value of our properties can be affected by many factors, including the following:
Changes in the national, regional and local economic climate;
Changes in existing laws and regulations, including environmental regulatory requirements including, but not limited to, legislation on global warming;warming, trade reform, health care reform, employment laws and immigration laws;
Local conditions such as an oversupply of space or a reduction in demand for real estate in the area;
The attractiveness of the properties to tenants;

4


Competition from other available space;
Competition for our tenants from Internet sales;sales and shifts in consumer shopping patterns;
Our ability to provide adequate management services and to maintain our properties;
Increased operating costs, if these costs cannot be passed through to tenants;
The cost of periodically renovating, repairing and releasing spaces;
The consequences of any armed conflict involving, or terrorist attack against, the U.S.;
Our ability to secure adequate insurance;
Fluctuations in interest rates;
Changes in real estate taxes and other expenses; and
Availability of financing on acceptable terms or at all.

Our properties consist primarily of neighborhood and community shopping centers and, therefore, our performance is linked to general economic conditions in the market for retail space. The market for retail space has been and could in the future be adversely affected by weakness in the national, regional and local economies where our properties are located, the adverse financial condition of some large retail companies, the ongoing consolidation in the retail sector, the excess amount of retail space in a number of markets and increasing consumer purchases through the Internet. To the extent that any of these conditions exist, they are likely to affect market rents for retail space. In addition, we may face challenges in the management and maintenance of the properties or encounter increased operating costs, such as real estate taxes, insurance and utilities, which may make our properties unattractive to tenants. A significant decrease in rental revenue and an inability to replace such revenues may adversely affect our profitability, the ability to meet debt and other financial obligations and make distributionspay dividends to shareholders.
We have a high concentration of properties in the state of Texas,that are geographically concentrated, and adverse economic or other conditions in that area could have a material adverse effect on us.
We are particularly susceptible to adverse economic or other conditions in the state of Texas,markets where our properties are concentrated, including California, Florida and Texas. These adverse conditions include increased unemployment, industry slowdowns, including declining oil prices, business layoffs or downsizing, decreases in consumer confidence, relocations of businesses, changes in demographics, increases in real estate and other taxes, increases in regulations and natural disasters, any of which could have an increased material adverse effect on us than if our portfolio was more geographically diverse.
Our acquisition activities may not produce the cash flows that we expect and may be limited by competitive pressures or other factors.
We intend to acquire existing commercial properties to the extent that suitable acquisitions can be made on advantageous terms. Acquisitions of commercial properties involve risks such as:
We may have difficulty identifying acquisition opportunities that fit our investment strategy;
Our estimates on expected occupancy and rental rates may differ from actual conditions;
Our estimates of the costs of any redevelopment or repositioning of acquired properties may prove to be inaccurate;
We may be unable to operate successfully in new markets where acquired properties are located, due to a lack of market knowledge or understanding of local economies;
We may be unable to successfully integrate new properties into our existing operations; or
We may have difficulty obtaining financing on acceptable terms or paying the operating expenses and debt service associated with acquired properties prior to sufficient occupancy.
In addition, we may not be in a position or have the opportunity in the future to make suitable property acquisitions on advantageous terms due to competition for such properties with others engaged in real estate investment. Our inability to successfully acquire new properties may have an adverse effect on our results of operations.

5


Turmoil in capital markets could adversely impact acquisition activities and pricing of real estate assets.
Volatility in the capital markets could impact the availability of debt financing due to numerous factors, including the tightening of underwriting standards by lenders and credit rating agencies. These factors directly affect a lender’s ability to provide debt financing as well as increase the cost of available debt financing. As a result, we may not be able to obtain debt financing on favorable terms or at all. This may result in future acquisitions generating lower overall economic returns, which may adversely affect our results of operations and distributionsdividends paid to shareholders. Furthermore, any turmoil in the capital markets could adversely impact the overall amount of capital available to invest in real estate, which may result in price or value decreases of real estate assets.

Our real estate assets may be subject to impairment charges.
Periodically, we assess whether there are any indicators that the value of our real estate assets, including any capitalized costs and any identifiable intangible assets, may be impaired. A property's value is impaired only if the estimate of the aggregate future undiscounted cash flows without interest charges to be generated by the property are less than the carrying value of the property. In estimating cash flows, we consider factors such as expected future operating income, trends and prospects, the effects of demand, competition and other factors. If we are evaluating the potential sale of an asset or developmentdevelopment/redevelopment alternatives, the undiscounted future cash flows consider the most likely course of action at the balance sheet date based on current plans, intended holding periods and available market information. Determining whether a property is impaired and, if impaired, the amount of write-down to fair value requires a significant amount of judgment by management and is based on the best information available to management at the time of evaluation. If market conditions deteriorate or management’s plans for certain properties change, additional write-downs could be required in the future, and any future impairment could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations in the period in which the charge is taken.
Reduction of rental income would adversely affect our profitability, our ability to meet our debt obligations and our ability to make distributionspay dividends to our shareholders.
The substantial majority of our income is derived from rental income from real property. As a result, our performance depends on our ability to collect rent from tenants. Our income and funds for distributionto pay dividends would be negatively affected if a significant number of our tenants, or any of our major tenants (as discussed in more detail below):
Delay lease commencements;
Decline to extend or renew leases upon expiration;
Fail to make rental payments when due; or
Close stores or declare bankruptcy.
Any of these actions could result in the termination of the tenants’ lease and the loss of rental income attributable to the terminated leases. In addition, lease terminations by an anchor tenant or a failure by that anchor tenant to occupy the premises could also result in lease terminations or reductions in rent by other tenants in the same shopping center under the terms of some leases. In these events, we cannot be sure that any tenant whose lease expires will renew that lease or that we will be able to re-lease space on economically advantageous terms. Furthermore, certain costs remain fixed even though a property may not be fully occupied. The loss of rental revenues from a number of our tenants and our inability to replace such tenants, particularly in the case of a substantial tenant with leases in multiple locations, may adversely affect our profitability, our ability to meet debt and other financial obligations and our ability to make distributionspay dividends to the shareholders.
Adverse effects on the success and stability of our anchor tenants, could lead to reductions of rental income.
Our rental income could be adversely affected in the event of a downturn in the business, or the bankruptcy or insolvency of, any anchor store or anchor tenant. Anchor tenants generally occupy large amounts of square footage, pay a significant portion of the total rents at a property and contribute to the success of other tenants by drawing significant numbers of customers to a property. The closing of one or more anchor stores at a property could adversely affect that property and result in lease terminations or reductions in rent from other tenants, whose leases may permit termination or rent reduction in those circumstances or whose own operations may suffer as a result. Furthermore, tenant demand for certain of our anchor spaces may decrease, and as a result, we may see an increase in vacancy and/or a decrease in rents for those spaces, which could have a negative impact to our rental income.

Adverse effects resulting from a shift in retail shopping from brick and mortar stores to online shopping may impact our operating results.
6

TableOnline sales for many retailers has become a fundamental part of Contentstheir business in addition to operating brick and mortar stores. Additionally, online sales from companies without physical stores has increased significantly. Although many of the retailers operating in our properties sell groceries, value-oriented apparel and other necessity-based type goods or provide services, including entertainment and dining, the shift to online shopping may cause certain of our tenants to reduce the size or number of their retail locations in the future. As a result, this could negatively affect our ability to lease space and our operating results.


We face significant competition in the leasing market, which may decrease or prevent increases in the occupancy and rental rates of our properties.
We compete with numerous developers, owners and operators of retail properties, many of which own properties similar to, and in the same market sectors as, our properties. If our competitors offer space at rental rates below current market rates, or below the rental rates we currently charge our tenants, we may lose existing or potential tenants, or we may be forced to reduce rental rates in order to attract new tenants and retain existing tenants when their leases expire.
Also, if our competitors develop additional retail properties in locations near our properties, there may be increased competition for customer traffic and creditworthy tenants, which may result in fewer tenants or decreased cash flows from tenants, or both, and may require us to make capital improvements to properties that we would not have otherwise made. Our tenants also face increasing competition from other forms of marketing of goods, such as direct mail and Internet marketing, which may decrease cash flow from such tenants. As a result, our financial condition and our ability to make distributionspay dividends to our shareholders may be adversely affected.
We may be unable to collect balances due from tenants in bankruptcy.
A tenant that files for bankruptcy protection may not continue to pay us rent. A bankruptcy filing by or relating to one of our tenants or a lease guarantor would bar all efforts by us to collect pre-bankruptcy debts from the tenant or the lease guarantor, or their property, unless the bankruptcy court permits us to do so. A tenant or lease guarantor bankruptcy could delay our efforts to collect past due balances under the relevant leases and could ultimately preclude collection of these sums. If a lease is rejected by a tenant in bankruptcy, we would have only a general unsecured claim for damages. As a result, it is likely that we would recover substantially less than the full value of any unsecured claims it holds, if at all.
Our development, redevelopment and construction activities could adversely affect our operating results.
We intend to continue the selective development, redevelopment and construction of retail properties in accordance with our development and underwriting policies as opportunities arise. Our development, redevelopment and construction activities include risks that:
We may abandon development opportunities after expending resources to determine feasibility;
Construction costs of a project may exceed our original estimates;
Occupancy rates and rents at a newly completed or redeveloped property may not be sufficient to make the property profitable;
Rental rates could be less than projected;
Project completion may be delayed because of a number of factors, including weather, labor disruptions, construction delays or delays in receipt of zoning or other regulatory approvals, adverse economic conditions, acts of terror or other acts of violence, or acts of God (such as fires, earthquakes or floods);
Financing may not be available to us on favorable terms for development or redevelopment of a property; and
We may not complete construction and lease-up on schedule, resulting in increased debt service expense and construction costs.
Additionally, the time frame required for development, redevelopment, construction and lease-up of these properties means that we may have to wait years for a significant cash return. If any of the above events occur, the development and redevelopment of properties may hinder our growth and have an adverse effect on our results of operations, including additional impairment charges. Also, new development activities, regardless of whether or not they are ultimately successful, typically require substantial time and attention from management.

There is a lack of operating history with respect to any recent acquisitions and redevelopment or development of properties, and we may not succeed in the integration or management of additional properties.
These properties may have characteristics or deficiencies currently unknown to us that affect their value or revenue potential. It is also possible that the operating performance of these properties may decline under our management. We also may not have the experience in developing and managing mixed-use properties and may need to rely on external resources which may not perform as we expected. As we acquire additional properties, we will be subject to risks associated with managing new properties, including lease-up and tenant retention. In addition, our ability to manage our growth effectively will require us to successfully integrate any new acquisitions into our existing management structure. We may not succeed with this integration or effectively manage additional properties. Also, newly acquired properties may not perform as expected.

Real estate property investments are illiquid, and therefore, we may not be able to dispose of properties when desirable or on favorable terms.
Real estate property investments generally cannot be disposed of quickly. In addition, the Internal Revenue Code imposes restrictions on the ability of a REIT to dispose of properties that are not applicable to other types of real estate companies. Our ability to dispose of properties on advantageous terms depends on factors beyond our control, including competition from other sellers and the availability of attractive financing for potential buyers of our properties, and we cannot predict the various market conditions affecting real estate investments that will exist at any particular time in the future. Therefore, we may not be able to quickly vary our portfolio in response to economic or other conditions promptly or on favorable terms, which could cause us to incur extended losses and reduce our cash flows and adversely affect distributionsdividends paid to shareholders.
As part of our capital recycling program, we intend to sell our non-core assets and may not be able to recover our investments, which may result in losses to us.
There can be no assurance that we will be able to recover the current carrying amount of all of our owned and partially owned non-core properties and investments in the future. Our failure to do so would require us to recognize impairment charges in the period in which we reached that conclusion, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, operating results and cash flows.
Credit ratings may not reflect all the risks of an investment in our debt or equity securities and rating changes could adversely effect our revolving credit facility.
Our credit ratings are an assessment by rating agencies of our ability to pay our debts when due. Consequently, real or anticipated changes in our credit ratings will generally affect the market value of our debt. Credit ratings may be revised or withdrawn at any time by the rating agency at its sole discretion. Additionally, our revolving credit facility fees are based on our credit ratings. We do not undertake any obligation to maintain the ratings or to advise holders of our debt of any change in ratings. Each agency's rating should be evaluated independently of any other agency's rating.
There can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain our current credit ratings. Adverse changes in our credit ratings could impair our ability to obtain additional debt and equity financing on favorable terms, if at all, and could significantly reduce the market price of our publicly-traded securities.
Our cash flows and operating results could be adversely affected by required payments of debt or related interest and other risks of our debt financing.
We are generally subject to risks associated with debt financing. These risks include:
Our cash flow may not satisfy required payments of principal and interest;
We may not be able to refinance existing indebtedness on our properties as necessary or the terms of the refinancing may be less favorable to us than the terms of existing debt;
Required debt payments are not reduced if the economic performance of any property declines;
Debt service obligations could reduce funds available for distributiondividends to our shareholders and funds available for capital investment;
Any default on our indebtedness could result in acceleration of those obligations and possible loss of property to foreclosure; and

The risk that necessary capital expenditures necessary for purposes such as re-leasing space cannot be financed on favorable terms.
If a property is mortgaged to secure payment of indebtedness and we cannot make the mortgage payments, we may have to surrender the property to the lender with a consequent loss of any prospective income and equity value from such property. Any of these risks can place strains on our cash flows, reduce our ability to grow and adversely affect our results of operations.
Credit ratingsWe may be adversely affected by changes in LIBOR reporting practices or the method in which LIBOR is determined.
As of December 31, 2017, we had outstanding approximately $217.9 million of debt that was indexed to the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”); however, we have swapped $200 million of that amount to a fixed rate. On July 27, 2017, the Financial Conduct Authority (the “FCA”) announced its intention to phase out LIBOR rates by the end of 2021. It is not reflect allpossible to predict the risksfurther effect of an investmentthe rules of the FCA, any changes in the methods by which LIBOR is determined, or any other reforms to LIBOR that may be enacted in the United Kingdom, the European Union or elsewhere. Any such developments may cause LIBOR to perform differently than in the past, or cease to exist. In addition, any other legal or regulatory changes made by the FCA, ICE Benchmark Administration Limited, the European Money Markets Institute (formerly Euribor-EBF), the European Commission or any other successor governance or oversight body, or future changes adopted by such body, in the method by which LIBOR is determined or the transition from LIBOR to a successor benchmark may result in, among other things, a sudden or prolonged increase or decrease in LIBOR, a delay in the publication of LIBOR, and changes in the rules or methodologies in LIBOR, which may discourage market participants from continuing to administer or to participate in LIBOR’s determination, and, in certain situations, could result in LIBOR no longer being determined and published. If a published U.S. dollar LIBOR rate is unavailable after 2021, the interest rates on our debt which is indexed to LIBOR will be determined using various alternative methods, any of which may result in interest obligations which are more than or preferred sharesdo not otherwise correlate over time with the payments that would have been made on such debt if U.S. dollar LIBOR was available in its current form. Further, the same costs and rating changesrisks that may lead to the discontinuation or unavailability of U.S. dollar LIBOR may make one or more of the alternative methods impossible or impracticable to determine. Any of these proposals or consequences could adverselyhave a material adverse effect our revolving credit facility.
Our credit ratings are an assessment by rating agencies of our ability to pay our debts and preferred dividends when due. Consequently, real or anticipated changes in our credit ratings will generally affect the market value of our debt and preferred shares. Credit ratings may be revised or withdrawn at any time by the rating agency at its sole discretion. Additionally, our revolving credit facility fees are based on our credit ratings. We do not undertake any obligation to maintain the ratings or to advise holders of our debt or preferred shares of any change in ratings. Each agency's rating should be evaluated independently of any other agency's rating.
There can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain our current credit ratings. Adverse changes in our credit ratings could impair our ability to obtain additional debt and equity financing on favorable terms, if at all, and could significantly reduce the market price of our publicly-traded securities.costs.

Rising interest rates could increase our borrowing costs, thereby adversely affectaffecting our cash flows and adversely affect the marketamounts available for dividends to our shareholders, and decrease our share price, of our debt and preferred shares.if investors seek higher yields through other investments.
We have indebtedness with interest rates that vary depending on market indices. Also, our credit facilities bear interest at variable rates. We may incur variable-rate debt in the future. Increases in interest rates on variable-rate debt would increase our interest expense, which would negatively affect net income and cash available for payment of our debt obligations and distributionsdividends to shareholders. In addition, an increase in interest rates could adversely affect the market value of our outstanding debt, and preferred shares, as well as increase the cost of refinancing and the issuance of new debt or securities. An environment of rising interest rates could also lead holders of our securities to seek higher yields through other investments, which could adversely affect the market price of our shares. One of the factors which may influence the price of our shares in public markets is the annual dividend rate we pay as compared with the yields on alternative investments.
Our financial condition could be adversely affected by financial covenants.
Our credit facilities and public debt indentures under which our indebtedness is, or may be, issued contain certain financial and operating covenants, including, among other things, certain coverage ratios, as well as limitations on our ability to incur secured and unsecured indebtedness, restrictions on our ability to sell all or substantially all of our assets and engage in mergers and consolidations and certain acquisitions. These covenants could limit our ability to obtain additional funds needed to address cash shortfalls or pursue growth opportunities or transactions that would provide substantial return to our shareholders. In addition, a breach of these covenants could cause a default under or accelerate some or all of our indebtedness, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.

Property ownership through real estate partnerships and joint ventures could limit our control of those investments and reduce our expected return.
Real estate partnership or joint venture investments may involve risks not otherwise present for investments made solely by us, including the possibility that our partner or co-venturer might become bankrupt, that our partner or co-venturer might at any time have different interests or goals than us, and that our partner or co-venturer may take action contrary to our instructions, requests, policies or objectives. Other risks of joint venture investments could include impasse on decisions, such as a sale or refinance, because neither our partner or co-venturer nor we would have full control over the partnership or joint venture. These factors could limit the return that we receive from those investments or cause our cash flows to be lower than our estimates.
Volatility in market and economic conditions may impact our partners’ ability to perform in accordance with our real estate joint venture and partnership agreements resulting in a change in control or the liquidation plans of its underlying properties.
Changes in control of our investments could result if any reconsideration events occur, such as amendments to our real estate joint venture and partnership agreements, changes in debt guarantees or changes in ownership due to required capital contributions. Any changes in control will result in the revaluation of our investments to fair value, which could lead to an impairment. We are unable to predict whether, or to what extent, a change in control may result or the impact of adverse market and economic conditions may have to our partners.
If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will be subject to U.S. federal income tax as a regular corporation and could have significant tax liability.
We intend to operate in a manner that allows us to qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes. However, REIT qualification requires us to satisfy numerous requirements (some on an annual or quarterly basis) established under highly technical and complex provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, for which there are a limited number of judicial or administrative interpretations. Our status as a REIT requires an analysis of various factual matters and circumstances that are not entirely within our control. Accordingly, it is not certain we will be able to qualify and remain qualified as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Even a technical or inadvertent violation of the REIT requirements could jeopardize our REIT qualification. Furthermore, Congress or the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) might change the tax laws or regulations and the courts might issue new rulings, in each case potentially having retroactive effect that could make it more difficult or impossible for us to qualify as a REIT. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any tax year, then:
We would be taxed as a regular domestic corporation, which, among other things, means that we would be unable to deduct distributionsdividends paid to our shareholders in computing our taxable income and would be subject to U.S. federal income tax on our taxable income at regular corporate rates;
Any resulting tax liability could be substantial and would reduce the amount of cash available for distributiondividends to shareholders, and could force us to liquidate assets or take other actions that could have a detrimental effect on our operating results; and

9


Unless we were entitled to relief under applicable statutory provisions, we would be disqualified from treatment as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year during which we lost our qualification, and our cash available for distributiondividends to our shareholders would, therefore, be reduced for each of the years in which we do not qualify as a REIT.
Even if we remain qualified as a REIT, we may face other tax liabilities that reduce our cash flow. We may also be subject to certain U.S. federal, state and local taxes on our income and property either directly or at the level of our subsidiaries. Any of these taxes would decrease cash available for distributiondividends to our shareholders.
Tax laws have recently changed and may continue to change at any time, and any such legislative or other actions could have a negative effect on us.
The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 ("Tax Act") was signed into law on December 22, 2017. The law includes significant changes to the U.S. corporate income tax system, including a Federal corporate rate reduction from 35% to 21% for non-REIT "C" corporations, which may cause investors to perceive investments in REITs to be less attractive than investments in the stock of non-REIT “C” corporations. The law also includes limitations on the deductibility of executive compensation, which may result in our being required to pay higher dividends to continue to qualify as a REIT at a time and in an amount that otherwise may not be in our and our shareholders’ best interests.

In addition, tax laws remain under constant review by persons involved in the legislative process, at the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") and the U.S. Department of the Treasury, and by various state and local tax authorities. Changes to tax laws, regulations, or administrative interpretations, which may be applied retroactively, could adversely affect us in a number of additional ways, including making it more difficult or more costly for us to qualify as a REIT or decreasing real estate values generally.
We cannot predict the full impact of the Tax Act or whether, when, in what forms, or with what effective dates, the tax laws, regulations, and administrative interpretations applicable to us or our shareholders may be further changed.
Compliance with REIT requirements may negatively affect our operating decisions.
To maintain our status as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we must meet certain requirements, on an ongoing basis, including requirements regarding our sources of income, the nature and diversification of our assets, the amounts we distribute to our shareholders and the ownership of our common shares. We may also be required to make distributionspay dividends to our shareholders when we do not have funds readily available for distribution or at times when our funds are otherwise needed to fund capital expenditures or debt service obligations.
As a REIT, we must distribute at least 90% of our annual net taxable income (excluding net capital gains) to our shareholders. To the extent that we satisfy this distribution requirement, but distribute less than 100% of our net taxable income, we will be subject to U.S. federal corporate income tax on our undistributed taxable income. From time to time, we may generate taxable income greater than our income for financial reporting purposes, or our net taxable income may be greater than our cash flow available for distribution to our shareholders. If we do not have other funds available in these situations, we could be required to borrow funds, sell a portion of our securities at unfavorable prices or find other sources of funds in order to meet the REIT distribution requirements.
Dividends paid by REITs generally do not qualify for reduced tax rates.
In general, the maximum U.S. federal income tax rate for qualified dividends paid to individual U.S. shareholders is 20%. Unlike dividends received from a corporation that is not a REIT, our distributions to individual shareholders generally are not eligible for the reduced rates and are, consequently, taxed at ordinary income rates.
Our common shares dividend policy may change in the future.
The timing, amount and composition of any future dividends to our common shareholders will be at the sole discretion of our Board of Trust Managers and will depend upon a variety of factors as to which no assurance can be given. Our ability to make dividends to our common shareholders depends, in part, upon our operating results, overall financial condition, the performance of our portfolio (including occupancy levels and rental rates), our capital requirements, access to capital, our ability to qualify for taxation as a REIT and general business and market conditions. Any change in our dividend policy could have an adverse effect on the market price of our common shares.
Our declaration of trust contains certain limitations associated with share ownership.
To maintain our status as a REIT, our declaration of trust prohibits any individual from owning more than 9.8% of our outstanding common shares. This restriction is likely to discourage third parties from acquiring control without the consent of our Board of Trust Managers, even if a change in control were in the best interests of our shareholders.
Also, our declaration of trust requires the approval of the holders of 80% of our outstanding common shares and the approval by not less than 50% of the outstanding common shares not owned by any related person (a person owning more than 50% of our common shares) to consummate a business transaction such as a merger. There are certain exceptions to this requirement; however, the 80% approval requirement could make it difficult for us to consummate a business transaction even if it is in the best interestinterests of our shareholders.

10


There may be future dilution of our common shares.
Our declaration of trust authorizes our Board of Trust Managers to, among other things, issue additional common or preferred shares or securities convertible or exchangeable into equity securities, without shareholder approval. We may issue such additional equity or convertible securities to raise additional capital. The issuance of any additional common or preferred shares or convertible securities could be substantially dilutive to holders of our common shares. Moreover, to the extent that we issue restricted shares, options, or warrants to purchase our common shares in the future and those options or warrants are exercised or the restricted shares vest, our shareholders may experience further dilution. Holders of our common shares have no preemptive rights that entitle them to purchase a pro rata share of any offering of shares of any class or series and, therefore, such sales or offerings could result in increased dilution to our shareholders.
We may issue debt and equity securities or securities convertible into equity securities, any of which may be senior to our common shares as to distributions and in liquidation, which could negatively affect the value of our common shares.

In the future, we may attempt to increase our capital resources by entering into unsecured or secured debt or debt-like financings, or by issuing additional debt or equity securities, which could include issuances of medium-term notes, senior notes, subordinated notes, secured debt, guarantees, preferred shares, hybrid securities, or securities convertible into or exchangeable for equity securities. In the event of our liquidation, our lenders and holders of our debt and, if any, preferred securities would receive distributions of our available assets before distributions to the holders of our common shares. Because any decision to incur debt and issue securities in future offerings may be influenced by market conditions and other factors beyond our control, we cannot predict or estimate the amount, timing, or nature of our future financings. Further, market conditions could require us to accept less favorable terms for the issuance of our securities in the future.
Our declaration of trust contains certain limitations that make removal of our Trust Managers difficult, which could limit our shareholders ability to effect changes to our management.
Our declaration of trust provides that a Trust Manager may only be removed for cause upon the affirmative vote of holders of two-thirds of the total votes authorized to be cast by shares outstanding and entitled to be voted. Vacancies may be filled by either a majority of the remaining Trust Managers or elected by the vote of holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding shares at the Annual Meeting or a special meeting of the shareholders. These requirements provide limitations to make changes in our management by removing and replacing Trust Managers and may prevent a change of control that is in the best interests of our shareholders.
Loss of our key personnel could adversely affect the value of our common shares and operations.
We are dependent on the efforts of our key executive personnel. A significant number of persons in our management group are eligible for retirement. Although we believe qualified replacements could be found for these key executives and other members of our management group, the loss of their services could adversely affect the value of our common shares and operations.
Changes in accounting standards may adversely impact our reported financial condition and results of operations.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), in conjunction with the SEC, has several keycontinually engages in projects on their agenda thatto evaluate additions or changes to current accounting standards which could impact how we currently account for our material transactions, including lease accounting and other convergence projects with the International Accounting Standards Board.transactions. We believe that these and other potential proposals could have varying degrees of impact on us ranging from minimal to material. At this time, we are unable to predict with certainty which, if any, proposals may be passed or what level of impact any such proposal could have on us.us, except as disclosed in Item 8.
We could be subject to litigation that may negatively impact our cash flows, financial condition and results of operations.
From time to time, we may be a defendant in lawsuits and regulatory proceedings relating to our business. Due to the inherent uncertainties of litigation and regulatory proceedings, we cannot accurately predict the ultimate outcome of any such litigation or proceedings. We could experience a negative impact to our cash flows, financial condition and results of operations due to an unfavorable outcome.
Compliance with certain laws and governmental rules and regulations may require us to make unintended expenditures that adversely affect our cash flows.
All of our properties are required to comply with certain laws and governmental rules and regulations, including the Americans with Disabilities Act, fire and safety regulations, building codes and other land use regulations, as they may be in effect or adopted by governmental agencies and bodies and become applicable to our properties. We may be required to make substantial capital expenditures to comply with those requirements, and these expenditures could have a material adverse effect on our ability to meet the financial obligations and make distributionspay dividends to our shareholders.

11


An uninsured loss or a loss that exceeds the policies on our properties could subject us to lost capital or revenue on those properties.
Under the terms and conditions of the leases currently in force on our properties, tenants generally are required to indemnify and hold us harmless from liabilities resulting from injury to persons, air, water, land or property, on or off the premises, due to activities conducted on the properties, except for claims arising from our negligence or intentional misconduct or that of our agents. Tenants are generally required, at the tenant’s expense, to obtain and keep in full force during the term of the lease, liability and tenant's property damage insurance policies. We have obtained comprehensive liability, casualty, property, flood, earthquake, environmental and rental loss insurance policies on our properties. All of these policies may involve substantial deductibles and certain exclusions. In addition, we cannot assure the shareholders that the tenants will properly maintain their insurance policies or have the ability to pay the deductibles. Should a loss occur that is uninsured or in an amount exceeding the combined aggregate limits for the policies noted above, or in the event of a loss that is subject to a substantial deductible under an insurance policy, we could lose all or part of our capital invested in, and anticipated revenue from, one or more of the properties, which could have a material adverse effect on our operating results and financial condition, as well as our ability to make distributionspay dividends to the shareholders.
We may be subject to liability under environmental laws, ordinances and regulations.
Under various federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations, we may be considered an owner or operator of real property or have arranged for the disposal or treatment of hazardous or toxic substances. As a result, we may become liable for the costs of disposal or treatment of hazardous or toxic substances released on or in our property. We may also be liable for certain other potential costs that could relate to hazardous or toxic substances (including governmental fines and injuries to persons and property). We may incur such liability whether or not we knew of, or were responsible for, the presence of such hazardous or toxic substances.
Natural disasters and severe weather conditions could have an adverse effect on our cash flow and operating results.
Changing weather patterns and climatic conditions, such as global warming, may have added to the unpredictability and frequency of natural disasters in some parts of the world and created additional uncertainty as to future trends and exposures. Our operations are located in many areas that are subject tohave experienced and may in the future experience natural disasters and severe weather conditions such as hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, droughts, floods and fires. The occurrence of natural disasters or severe weather conditions can delay new development and redevelopment projects, increase investment costs to repair or replace damaged properties, increase future property insurance costs, and negatively impact the tenant demand for lease space. Additionally, theseweather conditions may also disrupt our tenants business, which could affect the ability of some tenants to pay rent and may reduce the willingness of residents to remain in or move to the affected area. Intense weather conditions during the last decade have caused our cost of property insurance to increase significantly. If insurance is unavailable to us or is unavailable on acceptable terms, or if our insurance is not adequate to cover business interruption or losses from these events, our earnings, liquidity or capital resources could be adversely affected.
Our business and operations would suffer in the event of system failures.
Despite the implementation of security measures and the existence of a disaster recovery planand business continuity plans for our internal information technology systems, our systems are vulnerable to damages from any number of sources, including computer viruses, unauthorized access, energy blackouts, natural disasters, terrorism, war and telecommunication failures. Any system failure or accident that causes interruptions in our operations could result in a material disruption to our business. We may also incur additional costs to remedy damages caused by such disruptions.

We face risks relating to cybersecurity attacks, loss of confidential information and other business disruptions.
Our business is at risk from and may be impacted by cybersecurity attacks, including attempts to gain unauthorized access to our confidential data and other electronic security breaches. Such cybersecurity attacks can range from individual attempts to gain unauthorized access to our information technology systems to more sophisticated security threats. In addition to our own information technology systems, third parties have been engaged to provide information technology services relating to several key business functions, such as payroll, human resources, electronic communications and certain finance functions. While we and such third parties employ a number of measures to prevent, detect and mitigate these threats including a defense in depth strategy of firewalls, intrusion sensors, malware detection, password protection, backup servers, user training and periodic penetration testing, there is no guarantee such efforts will be successful in preventing a cybersecurity attack. As our reliance on technology has increased, so have the risks posed to our systems, both internal and those we have outsourced. Cybersecurity incidents could compromise the confidential information of our tenants, employees and third-party vendors and disrupt and affect the efficiency of our business operations.

ITEM 2. Properties
At December 31, 20142017, we owned or operated under long-term leases, either directly or through our interest in real estate joint ventures or partnerships, a total of 234 developed income-producing204 centers, primarily neighborhood, community and communitypower shopping centers, and three centers under various stages of construction and development, which are located in 2117 states spanning the country from coast to coast with approximately 45.341.3 million square feet of gross leasable area. Our centers are located principally in the South, West Coast and Southeast Coast of the U.S. with significant concentrations in Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas. We also owned interests in 3425 parcels of land that totaled approximately 25.318.0 million square feet at December 31, 2014. These land parcels include2017 of which approximately 1.617.7 million square feet of land may be used for new development or sold, and the remaining is adjacent to certain of our existing operating centers, which may be used for expansion of these centers, as well as approximately 23.7 million square feet of land, which may be used for new development.those centers.
In 20142017, no single center accounted for more than 3.4%7.3% of our total assets or 2.0%3.3% of base minimum rental revenues. The five largest centers, in the aggregate, represented approximately 9.4%11.1% of our base minimum rental revenues for the year ended December 31, 2014;2017; otherwise, none of the remaining centers accounted for more than 1.8% of our base minimum rental revenues during the same period.
Our centers are designed to attract local area customers and are typically anchored by a supermarket or other national tenants (such as Kroger, TargetHEB or T.J. Maxx). The centers are primarily neighborhood and community shopping centers that often include discounters, warehouse clubs, dollar storesvalue-oriented retailers and specialty grocers as additional anchors or tenants, and typically range in size from 50,000 to 650,000600,000 square feet of building area. Very few of the centers have climate-controlled common areas, but are designed to allow retail customers to park their automobiles in close proximity to any retailer in the center. Our centers are customarily constructed of masonry, steel and glass, and all have lighted, paved parking areas, which are typically landscaped with berms, trees and shrubs. They are generally located at major intersections in close proximity to neighborhoods that have existing populations sufficient to support retail activities of the types conducted in our centers.
We actively embrace various initiatives that support the future of environmentally friendly shopping centers. Our primary areas of focus include energy efficiency, waste recycling, water conservation and construction/development best practices. We recognize there are economic, environmental and social implications associated with the full range of our sustainability efforts, and that a commitment to incorporating sustainable practices will add long-term value to our centerscenters.
As of December 31, 20142017, the weighted average occupancy rate for our centers was 95.5%94.8% compared to 94.9%94.3% as of December 31, 2013.2016. The average base rent per square foot was approximately $18.69 in 2017, $17.93 in 2016, $16.92 in 2015, $16.24 in 2014, and $15.66 in 2013, $15.14 in 2012, $13.79 in 2011 and $13.60 in 2010 for our centers.
We have approximately 5,8005,400 separate leases with 3,8003,700 different tenants. Included among our top revenue-producing tenants are: The Kroger Co., TJX Companies, Inc., Ross Stores, Inc., H-E-B SafewayGrocery Company, LP, Albertsons Companies, Inc., Office Depot, Inc., PetSmart, Inc., Bed, Bath & Beyond Inc., Home Depot, Inc., Best Buy, Inc., The Sports Authority,24 Hour Fitness Worldwide, Inc. and Whole Foods Market, Inc. The diversity of our tenant base is also evidenced by the fact that our largest tenant, The Kroger Co., accounted for only 3.5%2.8% of base minimum rental revenues during 20142017.

ITEM 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto and the comparative summary of selected financial data appearing elsewhere in this report. Historical results and trends which might appear should not be taken as indicative of future operations. Our results of operations and financial condition, as reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and related footnotes, are subject to management’s evaluation and interpretation of business conditions, retailer performance, changing capital market conditions and other factors which could affect the ongoing viability of our tenants.
Executive Overview
Weingarten Realty Investors is a REIT organized under the Texas Business Organizations Code. We, and our predecessor entity, began the ownership and development of shopping centers and other commercial real estate in 1948. Our primary business is leasing space to tenants in the shopping centers we own or lease. We also provide property management services for which we charge fees to either joint ventures where we are partners or other outside owners.
We operate a portfolio of rental properties, primarily neighborhood and community shopping centers, totaling approximately 45.341.3 million square feet of gross leasableleaseable area, that is either owned by us or others. We have a diversified tenant base with our largest tenant comprising only 3.5%2.8% of base minimum rental revenues during 2014.2017.
At December 31, 2014,2017, we owned or operated under long-term leases, either directly or through our interest in real estate joint ventures or partnerships, a total of 234 developed income-producing204 properties, and three properties under development, which are located in 2117 states spanning the country from coast to coast.
We also owned interests in 3425 parcels of land held for development that totaled approximately 25.318.0 million square feet at December 31, 2014.2017.
We had approximately 5,8005,400 leases with 3,8003,700 different tenants at December 31, 2014.2017. Leases for our properties range from less than a year for smaller spaces to over 25 years for larger tenants. Rental revenues generally include minimum lease payments, which often increase over the lease term, reimbursements of property operating expenses, including real estate taxes, and additional rent payments based on a percentage of the tenants’ sales. Our anchor tenants are supermarkets, value-oriented apparel/discount stores and other retailers or service providers who generally sell basic necessity-type goods and services. WeAlthough there is a broad shift in shopping patterns, including Internet shopping that continues to affect our tenants, we believe the stability of our anchor tenants drive foot traffic, combined with convenient locations, attractive and well-maintained properties, high quality retailers and a strong tenant mix, should ensurelessen the long-term successeffects of our merchantsthese conditions and maintain the viability of our portfolio.
Our goal is to remain a leader in owning and operating top-tier neighborhood and community shopping centers in certain markets of the U.S. We have completed the transformation of our portfolio outlined in 2011 by disposing non-core properties and reinvesting in high-quality centers supported by stronger demographics.United States. Our strategic initiatives have now turned to:include: (1) raising net asset value and cash flow through quality acquisitions, redevelopments and new developments, (2) maintaining a strong, flexible consolidated balance sheet and a well-managed debt maturity schedule, and (3) growing net operating income from our existing portfolio by increasing occupancy and rental rates.rates and (4) owning quality shopping centers in preferred locations that attract strong tenants. We believe these initiatives will keep our portfolio of properties among the strongest in our sector. Due to current capitalization rates in the market along with the uncertainty of the impact of increasing interest rates and various other market conditions, we will continue to be very prudent in our evaluation of all new investment opportunities. We believe the pricing of assets that we would like to sell remains reasonably firm at the same time that the pricing of our common shares has dropped well below our net asset value. If this market phenomenon continues, our disposition activity could increase accordingly.
UnderIn late August 2017, the Texas Gulf Coast, including the Houston metropolitan area, was subjected to extensive flooding by Hurricane Harvey. Additionally in September 2017, much of Florida was faced with the damaging winds of Hurricane Irma. We have assessed the impact of both hurricanes, which caused nominal damage to our capital recycling plan,properties within the affected areas and temporarily interrupted the operations of some of our tenants. As of December 31, 2017, we disposedhave recorded $1.8 million in costs related to the storms in operating expense. Although most of our tenants' operations have resumed and repairs are almost completed, we will continue to monitor and adjust earnings as needed for storm damage estimates related to insurance claims in future periods.

We intend to recycle non-core operating properties, which providedcenters that no longer meet our ownership criteria and that will provide capital for growth opportunities and strengthened our operating fundamentals.opportunities. During 2014,2017, we successfully disposed of real estate assets, with our share of aggregate gross sales proceeds totaling $387 million, which were owned by us either directly or through our interest in real estate joint ventures or partnerships. Although the transformation process is complete,partnerships, with our share of aggregate gross sales proceeds totaling $444.1 million. Subsequent to December 31, 2017, we will continue to recycle properties that no longer meetsold real estate assets with our ownership criteria with the magnitudeshare of these dispositions significantly reduced when compared to activity over the past several years. We expect to complete dispositions in the range of $125 million to $175 million in 2015, but we can give no assurances that this will actually occur.aggregate gross sales proceeds totaling approximately $220.6 million. We have approximately $63$92 million of dispositions currently under contracts or letters of intent; however, there are no assurances that these transactions will close. Subsequent to year-end,close at such prices or at all. For 2018, we sold two properties with gross proceeds totaling $25 million.believe we will complete dispositions in amounts between $250 million and $450 million; however, there are no assurances that this will actually occur, or at what values, or whether we may potentially exceed this range.
As we are generally selling lower-tier, non-core assets, potential buyers requiring financing for such acquisitions may find access to capital an issue, especially if long-term interest rates rise, but conditions are currently very good. We intend to continue to recycle capital according to our business plan, although a number of factors, including weaknesses in the secured lending markets or a downturn in the economy, could adversely impact our ability to execute this plan.

We continue to actively seek acquisitions opportunities to grow our operations. Despite substantial competition for quality opportunities, we will continue to identify select acquisition properties that meet our return hurdles and to actively evaluate other opportunities as they enter the market. In 2014, we acquired a center in Arizona with a gross purchase price of $43.8 million. For 2015,2018, we expect to invest in acquisitionsacquisition investments, which could potentially range from $50 million to $150 million; however, there are no assurances that this will actually occur.
We intend to continue to focus on identifying new development projects as another source of growth, as well as continue to look for internal growth opportunities. Although we have begun the development of mixed-use projects, the opportunities for additional new development projects are limited at this time due to a lack of demand for new retail space. During 2017, we invested $93.1 million in three new development projects that are partially or wholly owned. Also during 2017, we invested $28.0 million in 16 redevelopment projects that were partially or wholly owned. For 2018, we expect to invest in new development and redevelopments in the range of $200$125 million to $250$175 million, but we can give no assurances that this will actually occur. Subsequent to year-end, we acquired one center in Texas with a gross purchase price of $43.1 million.
We continue to focus on identifying new development projects as another source of growth. Although we have only seen a few viable projects, a lack of supply in new retail space, combined with an increase in supermarket sales, has driven an increase in new development activity and retailer interest, which we believe is a positive trend. During 2014, we acquired two new development properties located in North Carolina and Maryland, with our expected investment in these properties to be approximately $62 million. Furthermore, we have a contractual commitment to purchase the retail portion of a mixed-use project in Washington from its developer, and our expected investment in this mixed-use project approximates $29 million. For 2015, we expect to invest in new developments in the range of $50 million to $100 million, but we can give no assurances that this will actually occur.
In addition, we continue to look for internal growth opportunities. Currently, we have 13 redevelopment projects in which we plan to invest approximately $67 million over the next 24 months. Additionally, in 2014 we completed one redevelopment project in a 50% unconsolidated real estate joint venture, which has added approximately 7,200 incremental square feet to to the total portfolio, with our share of the incremental investment totaling $.6 million. Upon completion, the average projected stabilized return on our incremental investment on these redevelopment projects is expected to range between 10% to 15%.
We strive to maintain a strong, conservative capital structure which should provide ready access to a variety of attractive long and short-term capital sources. We carefully balance lower cost, short-term financing with long-term liabilities associated with acquired or developed long-term assets. During 2014, we repaid $315 million of medium term notes from the net proceeds of our $250 million issuance in October 2013 of 4.45% senior unsecured notesWe continue to look for transactions that had been previously invested in short-term investments of $50 million and cash and cash equivalents. Furthermore, in 2014, we redeemed the total outstanding principal amount of $100 million of our 8.1% senior unsecured notes, which was funded through our revolving credit facility. These transactions have decreased our interest costs by replacing high-cost debt with considerably lower rate debt.
We believe that these transactions should continue towill strengthen our consolidated balance sheet and further enhance our access to various sources of capital, while reducing our cost of capital. WhileDue to the availability ofvariability in the capital has improved over the past few years,markets, there can be no assurance that favorable pricing and availability will not deterioratebe available in the future. The transformation of our operating portfolio and the continued strengthening of our consolidated balance sheet has been rewarded with a change in outlook to Positive from Stable by Moody’s Investor Services during 2014.
Operational Metrics
In assessing the performance of our centers, management carefully monitors various operating metrics of the portfolio. As a result of our transformation initiative, strong leasing activity and low tenant fallout, and lack of quality retail space in the market, the operating metrics of our portfolio strengthenedremained strong in 20142017 as we focused on increasing occupancyrental rates and same property net operating income ("SPNOI" and see Non-GAAP Financial Measures for additional information). Our portfolio delivered solid operating results with:
improved occupancy to 95.4%of 94.8% at December 31, 2017;
an increase of 2.6% in SPNOI including redevelopments for the yeartwelve months ended December 31, 20142017 over the same period of 2013 of 94.8%;
an increase of 3.4% in SPNOI for the year ended December 31, 2014 over the same period of 2013;2016; and
rental rate increases of 13.1%23.1% for new leases and 9.3%9.0% for renewals during 2014.the twelve months ended December 31, 2017.

While we willChanging shopping habits, driven by rapid expansion of Internet-driven procurement, has led to increased financial problems for many retailers, which has had a negative impact on the retail real estate sector. We continue to monitor the economy andeffects of these trends, including the effects on our tenants,impact of retail customer spending over the long-term welong-term. We believe the desirability of our physical locations, the significant diversification of our portfolio, both geographically and by tenant base, and the quality of our portfolio, will allowalong with its leading retailers or service providers that sell primarily grocery and basic necessity-type goods and services, position us well to further increase occupancy levels slightly; however, occupancy may oscillate overmitigate the next several quarters asimpact of these changes. Despite recent tenant bankruptcies, we continue to maximize our long-term portfolio value bybelieve there is retailer demand for quality space within strong, strategically located centers.
While we anticipate occupancy in 2018 to remain comparable with 2017, we may experience some fluctuations due to announced bankruptcies and the repositioning some of our anchor space.those spaces in the future. A reduction in quality retail space available, as well as continued retailer demand, contributed to the increase in overall rental rates on a same-space basis as we completed new leases and renewed existing leases. Leasing volume is anticipated to decline as we have less vacant space available for leasing.fluctuate due to the uncertainty in tenant fallouts related to bankruptcies. Our expectation is that SPNOI growth including redevelopments will average between 2.5% to 3.5% for 2015.2018 assuming no significant tenant bankruptcies, although there are no assurances that this will occur.
New DevelopmentDevelopment/Redevelopment
At December 31, 2014,2017, we had fourthree projects under development.in various stages of development that were partially or wholly owned. We have funded $82.8$140.4 million to datethrough December 31, 2017 on these projects, and we estimate our aggregate net investment upon completion to be $156.6$363.1 million. Overall, the average projected stabilized return on investment for these multi-use properties, that include retail, office and residential components, is expected to beapproximate 5.5% upon completion. Effective January 1, 2017, we stabilized the development in White Marsh, Maryland, moving it to our operating property portfolio. This development was 100% leased with an investment of $46 million and an 8% yield.
We have 16 redevelopment projects in which we plan to invest approximately 7.7% upon completion.$228.8 million, which include a 30-story, high-rise residential tower at our River Oaks Shopping Center in Houston, Texas with an estimated investment of $150 million. Upon completion, the average projected stabilized return on our incremental investment on these redevelopment projects is expected to average around 7.5% to 9.5%.
We had approximately $103.3$69.2 million in land held for development at December 31, 2014.2017 that may either be developed or sold. While we are experiencing a greatersome interest from retailers and other market participants in our land held for development, opportunities for economically viable developments remain scarce.limited. We intend to continue to pursue additional development and redevelopment opportunities in multiple markets; however, finding the right opportunities remains challenging.

Acquisitions and Joint Ventures
Acquisitions are a key component of our long-term growth strategy. The availability of quality acquisition opportunities in the market remains sporadic in our targeted markets. Intense competition, along with a decline in the volume of high-quality core properties on the market, has in many cases driven pricing to pre-recession highs. We intend to remain disciplined in approaching these opportunities, pursuing only those that provide appropriate risk-adjusted returns.

27


Dispositions
Dispositions are also a key component of our ongoing management process where we selectively prune properties from our portfolio that no longer meet our geographic or growth targets. Dispositions provide capital, which may be recycled into properties that are high barrier-to-entry locations within high growth metropolitan markets, and thus have higher long-term growth potential. Additionally, proceeds from dispositions may be used to reduce outstanding debt, further deleveraging our consolidated balance sheet.sheet or repurchasing our common shares, dependent upon our share price.
Summary of Critical Accounting Policies
Our discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and contingencies as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. We evaluate our assumptions and estimates on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe the following critical accounting policies require more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.
Property
Acquisitions of properties are accounted for utilizing the acquisition of an asset method and, accordingly, the results of operations of an acquired property are included in our results of operations from the date of acquisition. Estimates of fair values are based upon future cash flows and other valuation techniques in accordance with our fair value measurements accounting policy. Fair values are used to record the purchase price of acquired property among land, buildings on an “as if vacant” basis, tenant improvements, other identifiable intangibles and any goodwill or gain on purchase. Other identifiable intangible assets and liabilities include the effect of out-of-market leases, the value of having leases in place (“as is” versus “as if vacant” and absorption costs), out-of-market assumed mortgages and tenant relationships. Depreciation and amortization is computed using the straight-line method, generally over estimated useful lives of 40 years for buildings and over the lease term which includes bargain renewal options for other identifiable intangible assets. The impact of these estimates, including incorrect estimates in connection with acquisition values and estimated useful lives, could result in significant differences related to the purchased assets, liabilities and resulting depreciation or amortization. Acquisition costsCosts associated with the successful acquisition of an asset are expensedcapitalized as incurred.
Real Estate Joint Ventures and Partnerships
To determine the method of accounting for partially owned real estate joint ventures and partnerships, management evaluates the characteristics of associated entities and determines whether an entity is a variable interest entity (“VIE”) and, if so, determines which party is the primary beneficiary by analyzing whether we have both the power to direct the entity’s significant economic activities and the obligation to absorb potentially significant losses or receive potentially significant benefits. Significant judgments and assumptions inherent in this analysis include the design of the entity structure, the nature of the entity’s operations, future cash flow projections, the entity’s financing and capital structure, and contractual relationships and terms. We consolidate a VIE when we have determined that we are the primary beneficiary.
Primary risks associated with our involvement with our VIEs include the potential funding of the entities’ debt obligations or making additional contributions to fund the entities’ operations.operations or capital activities.

Partially owned, non-variable interest real estate joint ventures and partnerships over which we have a controlling financial interest are consolidated in our consolidated financial statements. In determining whether we have a controlling financial interest, we consider factors such as ownership interest, authority to make decisions, kick-out rights and substantive participating rights. Partially owned real estate joint ventures and partnerships where we do not have a controlling financial interest, but have the ability to exercise significant influence, are accounted for using the equity method.
Management continually analyzes and assesses reconsideration events, including changes in the factors mentioned above, to determine if the consolidation treatment remains appropriate. Decisions regarding consolidation of partially owned entities frequently require significant judgment by our management. Errors in the assessment of consolidation could result in material changes to our consolidated financial statements.

28


Impairment
Our property is reviewed for impairment if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the property, including any capitalized costs and any identifiable intangible assets, may not be recoverable.
If such an event occurs, a comparison is made of the current and projected operating cash flows of each such property into the foreseeable future, with consideration of applicable holding periods, on an undiscounted basis to the carrying amount of such property. If we determine the carrying amount is not recoverable, our basis in the property is reduced to its estimated fair value to reflect impairment in the value of the asset. Fair values are determined by management utilizing cash flow models, market capitalization and discount rates, or by obtaining third-party broker or appraisal estimates in accordance with our fair value measurements accounting policy.
We review current economic considerations each reporting period, including the effects of tenant bankruptcies, the suspension of tenant expansion plans for new development projects, declines in real estate values and any changes to plans related to our new development projects including land held for development, to identify properties where we believe market values may be deteriorating. Determining whether a property is impaired and, if impaired, the amount of write-down to fair value requires a significant amount of judgment by management and is based on the best information available to management at the time of evaluation. The evaluations used in these analyses could result in incorrect estimates when determining carrying values that could be material to our consolidated financial statements.
Our investment in partially owned real estate joint ventures and partnerships is reviewed for impairment each reporting period. The ultimate realization is dependent on a number of factors, including the performance of each investment and market conditions. We will record an impairment charge if we determine that a decline in the estimated fair value of an investment below its carrying amount is other than temporary. A considerable amount of judgment by our management is used in this evaluation. Our overall future plans for the investment, our investment partner’s financial outlook and our views on current market and economic conditions may have a significant impact on the resulting factors analyzed for these purposes.
Our investments in tax increment revenue bonds are reviewed for impairment, including the evaluation of changes in events or circumstances that may indicate that the carrying amount of the investment may not be recoverable. Realization is dependent on a number of factors, including investment performance, market conditions and payment structure. We will record an impairment charge if we determine that a decline in the value of the investment below its carrying amount is other than temporary, recovery of its cost basis is uncertain, and/or it is uncertain if the investment will be held to maturity. A considerable amount of judgment by our management is used in this evaluation, which may produce incorrect estimates that could be material to our consolidated financial statements.

Effects of Inflation
We have structured our leases in such a way as to remain largely unaffected should significant inflation occur. Most of the leases contain percentage rent provisions whereby we receive increased rentals based on the tenants’ gross sales. Many leases provide for increasing minimum rental rates during the terms of the leases through escalation provisions. In addition, many of our leases are for terms of less than 10 years, allowing us to adjust rental rates to changing market conditions when the leases expire. Many of our leases also contain percentage rent provisions whereby we receive increased rentals based on the tenants’ gross sales. Most of our leases also require the tenants to pay their proportionate share of operating expenses and real estate taxes. As a result of these lease provisions, increases in operating expenses due to inflation, as well as real estate tax rate increases, generally do not have a significant adverse effect upon our operating results as they are absorbed by our tenants. Under the current economic climate, little to no inflation is occurring.has been rising very slowly.
Economic Conditions
UnderlyingWe believe that underlying economic fundamentals continue to show positive, albeit slow, gains as the economic recovery continuesgrowth. We also believe that consumer confidence is currently positive due in part to stabilize. Consumer confidence continues to fluctuate, although it is generally positive as oil prices decline andimprovements in the labor market improves.and changes in the tax law. Furthermore, personal income and housing prices are continuing to increase in our primary markets. We believe there is a direct correlation between housing wealth and consumption, and we expect rebounding home prices will further strengthen retail fundamentals, including rent growth and net operating income. Our focus on supermarket-anchored centers in densely populated major metropolitan areas should position our portfolio to capitalize ontake advantage of the improvingever-changing retail landscape.

As strengthening retail fundamentals drive demand for investments in top-tier retail real estate, we continue to dedicate internal resources to identify and evaluate available assets in our markets so that we may purchase the best assets and properties with the strongest upside potential. Also, we continue to look for redevelopment opportunities within our existing portfolio by repositioning our anchor tenants and new development opportunities to spur growth.
Capital Resources and Liquidity
Our primary operating liquidity needs are paying our common and preferredshare dividends, maintaining and operating our existing properties, paying our debt service costs, excluding debt maturities, and funding capital expenditures. Under our 20152018 business plan, cash flows from operating activities are expected to meet these planned capital needs.
The primary sources of capital for funding any debt maturities, acquisitions, new developments and new developmentredevelopments are our excess cash flow generated by our operating properties; credit facilities; proceeds from both secured and unsecured debt issuances; proceeds from common and preferred equity issuances; and cash generated from the sale of property and the formation of joint ventures. Amounts outstanding under the unsecured revolving credit facility are retired as needed with proceeds from the issuance of long-term debt, common and preferred equity, cash generated from the disposition of properties and cash flow generated by our operating properties.

As of December 31, 2014,2017, we had an available borrowing capacity of $306.8$493.6 million under our unsecured revolving credit facility, and our debt maturities for 20152018 total $225.9$113.4 million. We repaid $315 million of medium term notes during 2014 from the net proceeds of our $250 million issuance in October 2013 of 4.45% senior unsecured notes that previously had been invested in short-term investments of $50 million and cash and cash equivalents. Additionally in 2014, we redeemed the total outstanding principal amount of $100 million of our 8.1% senior unsecured notes, which was funded through our revolving credit facility.
Currently, we are in negotiations associated with a $200 million unsecured five-year term note and a ten-year extension of an existing $66 million secured note, which are anticipated to close by the first quarter of 2015. The proceeds of the term note will be used for general corporate purposes, and the interest rate associated with the existing secured note is anticipated to be reduced by 3.9% to 3.5% with approximately $6.1 million of debt extinguishment costs being realized.
We believe net proceeds from the transactions above and ourplanned capital recycling, program, combined with our available capacity under the revolving credit and short-term borrowing facilities, will provide adequate liquidity to fund our capital needs, including acquisitions, redevelopments and new development activities. In the event our capital recycling program does not progress as expected, we believe other debt and equity alternatives are available to us. Although external market conditions are not within our control, we do not currently foresee any reason that would prevent us fromimpediment to our entering the capital markets if needed.
During 2014,2017, aggregate gross sales proceeds from our dispositions totaled $387.4 million.$444.1 million, which were owned by us either directly or through our interest in real estate joint ventures or partnerships. Operating cash flows from discontinued operationsdispositions are included in net cash from operating activities in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, while proceeds from discontinued operationsdispositions are included as investing activities. At December 31, 2014,
We have a $200 million share repurchase plan. Under this plan, we may repurchase common shares from time-to-time in open-market or in privately negotiated purchases. The timing and amount of any shares repurchased will be determined by management based on its evaluation of market conditions and other factors. The repurchase plan may be suspended or discontinued operations represent .4%at any time, and we have no obligations to repurchase any amount of our net cash from operating activities, andcommon shares under the plan.

We have non-recourse debt secured by acquired or developed properties held in several of our real estate joint ventures and partnerships. Off-balance sheet mortgage debt for our unconsolidated real estate joint ventures and partnerships totaled $380.8$298.1 million, of which our pro rata ownership is $156.2$108.0 million, at December 31, 2014.2017.

We hedge the future cash flows of certain debt transactions, as well as changes in the fair value of our debt instruments, principally through interest rate swap contracts with major financial institutions. We generally have the right to sell or otherwise dispose of our assets except in certain cases where we are required to obtain our joint venture partners’ consent or a third party consent for assets held in special purpose entities that are 100% owned by us.
Investing Activities:
Acquisitions
During 2014, we acquired one center in Arizona with a gross purchase price of $43.8 million.Activities
Dispositions
During 2014,2017, we sold 3020 centers and other property, including real estate assets owned through our interest in unconsolidated real estate joint ventures and partnerships, and we partially disposed of an unconsolidated real estate joint venture interest.partnerships. Our share of aggregate gross sales proceeds from these transactions totaled $387.4$444.1 million and generated our share of the gains of approximately $174.2$217.2 million.
During 2014, we completed the dissolution of our consolidated real estate joint venture with Hines, in which we owned a 30% interest. This joint venture held a portfolio of 13 centers located in Texas, Tennessee, Georgia, Florida and North Carolina. The transaction was completed through the distribution of five centers to us, resulting in an increase to our equity of $11.0 million, and eight centers to Hines. The centers distributed to Hines were classified as held for sale at December 31, 2013, and we realized a $23.3 million gain in discontinued operations associated with this transaction.
New DevelopmentDevelopment/Redevelopment
At December 31, 2014,2017, we had fourthree projects under development with aapproximately .3 million of total square footage of approximately .7 million, of which wefor retail and office space and 644 residential units, that were partially or wholly owned. We have funded $82.8$140.4 million to datethrough December 31, 2017 on these projects. Upon completion, we expect our aggregate net investment in these propertiesmulti-use projects to be $156.6$363.1 million. Effective January 1, 2017, we stabilized the development in White Marsh, Maryland, moving it to our operating property portfolio. This development was 100% leased with an investment of $46 million and an 8% yield.
OurAt December 31, 2017, we had 16 redevelopment projects in which we plan to invest approximately $228.8 million, which include a 30-story, high-rise residential tower at our River Oaks Shopping Center in Houston, Texas with an estimated investment of $150 million. Upon completion, the average projected stabilized return on our incremental investment on these redevelopment projects is expected to average around 7.5% to 9.5%.

We typically finance our new development and redevelopment projects are financed generally underwith proceeds from our unsecured revolving credit facility, as it is our general practice not to use third party construction financing. Management monitors amounts outstanding under our unsecured revolving credit facility and periodically pays down such balances using cash generated from operations, from debt issuances, from common and preferred share issuances and from the disposition of properties.

For 2015,2018, we anticipate our acquisitions to total between $200$50 million and $250$150 million. We anticipate our 2015 tenant improvement expenditures to be consistent with 2014. Our new development and redevelopment investment for 20152018 is estimated to be approximately $50$125 million to $100$175 million. For 2015,2018, capital improvement spendingand tenant improvements is expected to be consistent with 20142017 expenditures. No assurances can be provided that our planned capital activities will occur. Further, we have entered into commitments aggregating $64.3$114.7 million comprised principally of construction contracts which are generally due in 12 to 36 months and anticipated to be funded under our unsecured revolving credit facility.

Additionally, in 2014, we redeemed the total outstanding principal amount of $100 million of our 8.1% senior unsecured notes, which was funded through our revolving credit facility.
Our five most restrictive covenants, composed from both our public debt and revolving credit facility, include debt to assets,asset, secured debt to assets,asset, fixed charge, unencumbered asset test and unencumbered interest coverage and debt yield ratios. We are not aware of any non-compliance with our public debt and revolving credit facility covenants as of December 31, 2014.2017.

See Note 19 for additional information. Included in 2016 is a purchase obligation of $23.8 million. See Note 2117 for additional information.
Related to a development project in Sheridan, Colorado, we have provided a guaranty for the payment of any debt service shortfalls on tax increment revenue bonds issued in connection with the project. The Sheridan Redevelopment Agency ("Agency") issued Series A bonds used for an urban renewal project, of which $72.1$64.1 million remain outstanding at December 31, 2014.2017. The bonds are to be repaid with incremental sales and property taxes and a public improvement fee ("PIF") to be assessed on current and future retail sales and, to the extent necessary, any amounts we may have to provide under a guaranty. The incremental taxes and PIF are to remain intact until the earlier of the payment of the bond liability in full or 2040. The debt associated with this guaranty has been recorded in our consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2014.2017.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of December 31, 2014,2017, none of our off-balance sheet arrangements had a material effect on our liquidity or availability of, or requirement for, our capital resources. Letters of credit totaling $4.2$6.4 million were outstanding under the unsecured revolving credit facility at December 31, 2014.2017.
We have entered into several unconsolidated real estate joint ventures and partnerships. Under many of these agreements, we and our joint venture partners are required to fund operating capital upon shortfalls in working capital. We have also committed to fund the capital requirements of new development joint ventures. As operating manager of most of these entities, we have considered these funding requirements in our business plan.
Reconsideration events, including changes in variable interests, could cause us to consolidate these joint ventures and partnerships. We continuously evaluate these events as we become aware of them. Some triggers to be considered are additional contributions required by each partner and each partner’s ability to make those contributions. Under certain of these circumstances, we may purchase our partner’s interest. Our material unconsolidated real estate joint ventures are with entities which appear sufficiently stable; however, if market conditions were to deteriorate and our partners are unable to meet their commitments, there is a possibility we may have to consolidate these entities. If we were to consolidate all of our unconsolidated real estate joint ventures, we would continue to be in compliance with our debt covenants.

37


As of December 31, 2014,2017, one unconsolidated real estate joint venture was determined to be a VIE through the issuance of a secured loan, since the lender had the ability to make decisions that could have a significant impact on the profitability of the entity. Our maximum risk of loss associated with this VIE was limited to $11.0$34.0 million at December 31, 2014.
As of2017. Also at December 31, 2014, we are working with a developer2017, another joint venture arrangement for the future development of a mixed-use project in Washingtonwas determined to be a VIE. We are not the primary beneficiary as the substantive participating rights associated with the entity are shared, and we do not have executed an agreementthe power to purchasedirect the retail portionsignificant activities of the entity. We anticipate funding approximately $93 million in equity and debt associated with the mixed-use project for approximately $23.8 million at closing, which is estimated to be in August 2016.through 2020.
We haveOn January 1, 2018, a real estate limited partnership agreement with a foreign institutional investor withwas amended to include a remaining potential obligation to purchase up to $240$61 million of real estate assets through December 31, 2015.2018 with the option to extend for up to two additional years. Our ownership in this unconsolidated real estate limited partnership agreement is 51%. To, and as of the date one property hasof this filing, no assets have been purchased.purchased under this agreement.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Certain of our key performance indicators are considered non-GAAP financial measures. Management uses these measures along with our GAAP financial statements in order to evaluate our operating results. We believe these additional measures provide users of our financial information additional comparable indicators of our industry, as well as, our performance.
Funds from Operations Attributable to Common Shareholders
The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) defines FFOfunds from operations attributable to common shareholders ("NAREIT FFO") as net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding extraordinary items and gains or losses from sales of operating real estate assets and interests in real estate equity investments and their applicable taxes, plus depreciation and amortization of operating properties and impairment of depreciable real estate and in substance real estate equity investments, including our share of unconsolidated real estate joint ventures and partnerships. We calculate NAREIT FFO in a manner consistent with the NAREIT definition.
We believe NAREIT FFO is a widely recognized measure of REIT operating performance which provides our shareholders with a relevant basis for comparison among other REITs. Management uses NAREIT FFO as a supplemental internal measure to conduct and evaluate our business because there are certain limitations associated with using GAAP net income by itself as the primary measure of our operating performance. Historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values instead have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, management believes that the presentation of operating results for real estate companies that uses historical cost accounting is insufficient by itself. There can be no assurance that NAREIT FFO presented by us is comparable to similarly titled measures of other REITs.
We also present core funds from operations attributable to common shareholders (“Core FFO”) as an additional supplemental measure as it is more reflective of the core operating performance of our portfolio of properties. Core FFO is defined as NAREIT FFO excluding charges and gains related to non-cash, non-operating and other transactions or events that hinder the comparability of operating results. Specific examples of items excluded from Core FFO include, but are not limited to, gains or losses associated with the extinguishment of debt or other liabilities, impairments of land, transactional costs associated with acquisition and development activities, certain deferred tax provisions/benefits, redemption costs of preferred shares and gains on the disposal of non-real estate assets.
NAREIT FFO and Core FFO should not be considered as an alternativealternatives to net income or other measurements under GAAP as an indicatorindicators of our operating performance or to cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities as a measuremeasures of liquidity. NAREIT FFO doesand Core FFO do not reflect working capital changes, cash expenditures for capital improvements or principal payments on indebtedness.

Same Property Net Operating Income
We consider SPNOI to be a key indicator of ouran important additional financial performance asmeasure because it provides a better indication ofreflects only those income and expense items that are incurred at the recurring cash returnproperty level, and when compared across periods, reflects the impact on our properties by excluding certain non-cash revenuesoperations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and expenses, as well as other infrequent or one-time items.operating costs. We believe a pro rata basis is thecalculate this most useful measurement as it providesby determining our proportional share of SPNOI from all owned properties, including our share of SPNOI from unconsolidated joint ventures and partnerships, which cannot be readily determined under GAAP measurements and presentation. Although SPNOI is a widely used measure among REITs, there can be no assurance that SPNOI presented by us is comparable to similarly titled measures of other REITs.

Properties are included in the SPNOI calculation if they are owned and operated for the entirety of the most recent two fiscal year periods, except for properties for which significant redevelopment or expansion occurred during either of the periods presented, and properties classified as discontinued operations. While there is judgment surrounding changes in designations, we move new development and redevelopment properties once they have stabilized, which is typically upon attainment of 90% occupancy. A rollforward of the properties included in our same property designation is as follows:

We calculate SPNOI using operating income as defined by GAAP excluding property management fees, certain non-cash revenues and expenses such as straight-line rental revenue and the related reversal of such amounts upon early lease termination, depreciation, amortization, impairment losses, general and administrative expenses, acquisition costs and other nonrecurring items such as lease cancellation income, environmental abatement costs, demolition expenses and demolition expenses.lease termination fees. Consistent with the capital treatment of such costs under GAAP, tenant improvements, leasing commissions and other direct leasing costs are excluded from SPNOI. A reconciliation of operatingnet income attributable to common shareholders to SPNOI is as follows (in thousands):

Newly Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers." This ASU's core objective is for an entity to recognize revenue based on the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for goods or services. Additionally, this ASU requires entities to use a single model in accounting for revenues derived from contracts with customers. ASU No. 2014-09 replaces prior guidance regarding the recognition of revenue from sales of real estate except for revenue from sales that are part of a sale-leaseback transaction. The provisions of ASU No. 2014-09 are effective for us on January 1, 2017, and are required to be applied either on a retrospective or a modified retrospective approach. We are currently assessing the impact, if any, that the adoption of this ASU will have on our consolidated financial statements.
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, "Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern." This ASU's core objective is that management should evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. The provisions of ASU No. 2014-15 are effective for us as of December 31, 2016, and early adoption is permitted. We do not expect the adoption of this update to have any impactSee Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements.statements in Item 8 for additional information related to recent accounting pronouncements.
In January 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-01, "Simplifying Income Statement Presentation by Eliminating the Concept of Extraordinary Items." This ASU eliminates the concept of extraordinary items from GAAP. The provisions of ASU No. 2015-01 are effective for us as of January 1, 2016, and early adoption is permitted. We plan to adopt this ASU on January 1, 2015, and we do not expect the adoption of this update to have any impact to our consolidated financial statements.
ITEM 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We use fixed and floating-rate debt to finance our capital requirements. These transactions expose us to market risk related to changes in interest rates. Derivative financial instruments are used to manage a portion of this risk, primarily interest rate contracts with major financial institutions. These agreements expose us to credit risk in the event of non-performance by the counter-parties. We do not engage in the trading of derivative financial instruments in the normal course of business. At December 31, 2014,2017, we had fixed-rate debt of $1.7$2.1 billion and variable-rate debt of $286.2$17.9 million,, after adjusting for the net effect of $65.3$200.0 million notional amount of interest rate contracts. In the event interest rates were to increase 100 basis points and holding all other variables constant, annual net income and cash flows for the following year would decrease by approximately $.2 million associated with our variable-rate debt, including the effect of the interest rate contracts. The effect of the 100 basis points increase would decrease the fair value of our variable-rate and fixed-rate debt by approximately $5.4$.1 million and $91.9$109.3 million, respectively.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1.      Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Business
Weingarten Realty Investors is a REIT organized under the Texas Business Organizations Code. We currently operate, and intend to operate in the future, as a REIT.
We, and our predecessor entity, began the ownership and development of shopping centers and other commercial real estate in 1948. Our primary business is leasing space to tenants in the shopping centers we own or lease. We also provide property management services for which we charge fees to either joint ventures where we are partners or other outside owners.
We operate a portfolio of neighborhood and community shopping centers, totaling approximately 45.341.3 million square feet of gross leaseable area, that is either owned by us or others. We have a diversified tenant base, with our largest tenant comprising only 3.5%2.8% of base minimum rental revenues during 20142017. Net operating income from continuing operationsTotal revenues generated by our propertiescenters located in Houston and its surrounding areas was 19.7%19.6% of total net operating income from continuing operationsrevenue for the year ended December 31, 20142017, and an additional 9.8%9.2% of net operating income from continuing operationstotal revenue was generated in 20142017 from propertiescenters that are located in other parts of Texas. Also, in Florida and California, an additional 17.5% and 16.7%, respectively, of total revenue was generated in 2017.
Basis of Presentation
Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of our subsidiaries, certain partially owned real estate joint ventures or partnerships and VIEs which meet the guidelines for consolidation. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP. Such statements require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts on our consolidatedof assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements.statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. We have evaluated subsequent events for recognition or disclosure in our consolidated financial statements.
Revenue Recognition
Rental revenue is generally recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, which generally begins the date the tenant takes control of the space. Revenue from tenant reimbursements of taxes, maintenance expenses and insurance is subject to our interpretation of lease provisions and is recognized in the period the related expense is recognized. Revenue based on a percentage of tenants’ sales is recognized only after the tenant exceeds their sales breakpoint. In circumstances where we provide a tenant improvement allowance for improvements that are owned by the tenant, we recognize the allowance as a reduction of rental revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Other revenue is income from contractual agreements with third parties, tenants or partially owned real estate joint ventures or partnerships, which is recognized as the related services are performed under the respective agreements.
Property
Real estate assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method, generally over estimated useful lives of 18-40 years for buildings and 10-20 years for parking lot surfacing and equipment. Major replacements where the betterment extends the useful life of the asset are capitalized, and the replaced asset and corresponding accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts. All other maintenance and repair items are charged to expense as incurred.
Acquisitions of properties are accounted for utilizing the acquisition of an asset method and, accordingly, the results of operations of an acquired property are included in our results of operations from the date of acquisition. Estimates of fair values are based upon estimated future cash flows and other valuation techniques in accordance with our fair value measurements accounting policy. Fair values are used to allocate and record the purchase price of acquired property among land, buildings on an “as if vacant” basis, tenant improvements, other identifiable intangibles and any goodwill or gain on purchase. Other identifiable intangible assets and liabilities include the effect of out-of-market leases, the value of having leases in place (“as is” versus “as if vacant” and absorption costs), out-of-market assumed mortgages and tenant relationships. Depreciation and amortization is computed using the straight-line method, generally over estimated useful lives of 40 years for buildings and over the lease term which includes bargain renewal options for other identifiable intangible assets. Acquisition costsCosts associated with the successful acquisition of an asset are expensedcapitalized as incurred.

48


Property also includes costs incurred in the development and redevelopment of operating properties. These properties are carried at cost, and no depreciation is recorded on these assets until rent commences or no later than one year from the completion of major construction. These costs include preacquisition costs directly identifiable with the specific project, development and construction costs, interest, insurance and real estate taxes. Indirect development costs, including salaries and benefits, travel and other related costs that are directly attributable to the development of the property, are also capitalized. The capitalization of such costs ceases at the earlier of one year from the completion of major construction or when the property, or any completed portion, becomes available for occupancy.
Property also includes costs for tenant improvements paid by us, including reimbursements to tenants for improvements that are owned by us and will remain our property after the lease expires.
Property identified for sale is reviewed to determine if it qualifies as held for sale based on the following criteria: management has approved and is committed to the disposal plan, the assets are available for immediate sale, an active plan is in place to locate a buyer, the sale is probable and expected to qualify as a completed sale within a year, the sales price is reasonable in relation to the current fair value, and it is unlikely that significant changes will be made to the sales plan or that the sales plan will be withdrawn. Upon qualification, these properties are segregated and classified as held for sale at the lower of cost or fair value less costs to sell. Prior to April 1, 2014, the disposed property's related operating results were reclassified into discontinued operations. Upon the adoption of new guidance as of April 1, 2014, ourOur individual property disposals no longer qualifieddo not qualify for discontinued operations presentation; thus, the results of these disposals remain in income from continuing operations and any associated gains are included in gain on sale of property.
Some of our properties are held in single purpose entities. A single purpose entity is a legal entity typically established at the request of a lender solely for the purpose of owning a property or group of properties subject to a mortgage. There may be restrictions limiting the entity’s ability to engage in an activity other than owning or operating the property, assuming or guaranteeing the debt of any other entity, or dissolving itself or declaring bankruptcy before the debt has been repaid. Most of our single purpose entities are 100% owned by us and are consolidated in our consolidated financial statements.
Real Estate Joint Ventures and Partnerships
To determine the method of accounting for partially owned real estate joint ventures and partnerships, management determines whether an entity is a VIE and, if so, determines which party is the primary beneficiary by analyzing whether we have both the power to direct the entity’s significant economic activities and the obligation to absorb potentially significant losses or receive potentially significant benefits. Significant judgments and assumptions inherent in this analysis include the design of the entity structure, the nature of the entity’s operations, future cash flow projections, the entity’s financing and capital structure, and contractual relationships and terms. We consolidate a VIE when we have determined that we are the primary beneficiary.
Primary risks associated with our involvement with our VIEs include the potential funding of the entities’ debt obligations or making additional contributions to fund the entities’ operations.operations or capital activities.
Partially owned, non-variable interest real estate joint ventures and partnerships over which we have a controlling financial interest are consolidated in our consolidated financial statements. In determining if we have a controlling financial interest, we consider factors such as ownership interest, authority to make decisions, kick-out rights and substantive participating rights. Partially owned real estate joint ventures and partnerships where we do not have a controlling financial interest, but have the ability to exercise significant influence, are accounted for using the equity method.
Management continually analyzes and assesses reconsideration events, including changes in the factors mentioned above, to determine if the consolidation or equity method treatment remains appropriate.
Notes Receivable from Real Estate Joint Ventures and PartnershipsUnamortized Lease Costs, net
Notes receivable from real estate joint ventures and partnerships in which we had an ownership interest, primarily represented mortgage construction notes. We considered applying a reserve to a note receivable when it became apparent that conditions existed that may lead to our inability to fully collect on outstanding amounts due. Such conditions included delinquent or late payments on notes, deterioration in the ongoing relationship with the borrower and other relevant factors. When such conditions leading to expected losses existed, we would estimate a reserve by reviewing the borrower’s ability to meet scheduled debt service, our partner’s ability to make contributions and the fair value of the collateral.

Deferred Charges
Debt costs are amortized primarily on a straight-line basis, which approximates the effective interest method, over the terms of the debt. Lease costs represent the initial direct costs incurred in origination, negotiation and processing of a lease agreement. Such costs include outside broker commissions and other independent third party costs, as well as salaries and benefits, travel and other internal costs directly related to completing a lease and are amortized over the life of the lease on a straight-line basis. Costs related to supervision, administration, unsuccessful origination efforts and other activities not directly related to completed lease agreements are charged to expense as incurred. Also included are in place lease costs which are amortized over the life of the applicable lease terms on a straight-line basis.

Accrued Rent and Accounts Receivable, net
Receivables include base rents, tenant reimbursements and receivables attributable to the straight-lining of rental commitments. An allowance for the uncollectible portion of accrued rents and accounts receivable is determined based upon an analysis of balances outstanding, historical bad debt levels, tenant creditworthiness and current economic trends. Additionally, estimates of the expected recovery of pre-petition and post-petition claims with respect to tenants in bankruptcy are considered in assessing the collectibility of the related receivables. Management’s estimate of the collectibility of accrued rents and accounts receivable is based on the best information available to management at the time of evaluation.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
All highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less are considered cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are primarily held at major financial institutions in the U.S. We had cash and cash equivalents in certain financial institutions in excess of federally insured levels. We have diversified our cash and cash equivalents amongst several banking institutions in an attempt to minimize exposure to any one of these entities. We believe we are not exposed to any significant credit risk and regularly monitor the financial stability of these financial institutions.
Restricted Deposits and Mortgage Escrows
Restricted deposits and mortgage escrows consist of escrow deposits held by lenders primarily for property taxes, insurance and replacement reserves and restricted cashdeposits that isare held for a specific use or in a qualified escrow account for the purposes of completing like-kind exchange transactions.

Other Assets, net
Other assets include an asset related to the debt service guaranty (see Note 76 for further information), tax increment revenue bonds, investments, investments held in a grantor trust, deferred tax assets, prepaid expenses, interest rate derivatives, the value of above-market leases and the related accumulated amortization, deferred debt costs associated with our revolving credit facilities and other miscellaneous receivables. Investments held in a grantor trust and investments in mutual funds are adjusted to fair value at each period with changes included in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.Operations and Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, respectively. The value of our investments in mutual funds approximates the cost basis. Investments held to maturity are carried at amortized cost and are adjusted using the interest method for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Our tax increment revenue bonds have been classified as held to maturity and are recorded at amortized cost offset by a recognized credit loss (see Note 2421 for further information). Above-market leases are amortized as adjustments to rental revenues over terms of the acquired leases. Deferred debt costs, including those classified in debt, are amortized primarily on a straight-line basis, which approximates the effective interest rate method, over the terms of the debt. Other miscellaneous receivables have a reserve applied to the carrying amount when it becomes apparent that conditions exist that may lead to our inability to fully collect on outstanding amounts due. Such conditions include delinquent or late payments on receivables, deterioration in the ongoing relationship with the borrower and other relevant factors. We would establish a reserve when expected loss conditions exist by reviewing the borrower’s ability to generate revenues to meet debt service requirements and assessing the fair value of any collateral.

Derivatives and Hedging
We manage interest cost using a combination of fixed-rate and variable-rate debt. To manage our interest rate risk, we occasionally hedge the future cash flows of our existing floating-rate debt or anticipated fixed-rate debt issuances, as well as changes in the fair value of our existing fixed-rate debt instruments, principally through interest rate contracts with major financial institutions. Interest rate contracts that meet specific criteria are accounted for as either a cash flow or fair value hedge.

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk:
Our objective in using interest rate contractsderivatives is to add stability to interest expense and to manage our exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, we primarily use interest rate swap and/or cap contracts as part of our interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swap contracts designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for us making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount or capping floating rate interest payments.amount.
The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. For hedges of fixed-rate debt issuances, the interest rate contracts are cash settled upon the pricing of the debt, with amounts deferred in accumulated other comprehensive loss and amortized as an increase/decrease to interest expense over the originally hedged period.
The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivatives is recognized directly in earnings.
Fair Value Hedges of Interest Rate Risk:
We are exposed to changes in the fair value of certain of our fixed-rate obligations due to changes in benchmark interest rates, such as LIBOR. We use interest rate contracts to manage our exposure to changes in fair value on these instruments attributable to changes in the benchmark interest rate. Interest rate contracts designated as fair value hedges involve the receipt of fixed-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for us making variable-rate payments over the life of the agreements without the exchange of the underlying notional amount. Changes in the fair value of interest rate contracts designated as fair value hedges, as well as changes in the fair value of the related debt being hedged, are recorded in earnings each reporting period.
Sales of Real Estate
Sales of real estate include the sale of tracts of land within a shopping center development, property adjacent to shopping centers, operating properties, newly developed properties, investments in real estate joint ventures and partnerships and partial sales to real estate joint ventures and partnerships in which we participate.
Profits on sales of real estate are not recognized until (a) a sale is consummated; (b) the buyer’s initial and continuing investments are adequate to demonstrate a commitment to pay; (c) the seller’s receivable is not subject to future subordination; and (d) we have transferred to the buyer the usual risks and rewards of ownership in the transaction, and we do not have a substantial continuing involvement with the property.
We recognize gains on the sale of real estate to joint ventures and partnerships in which we participate to the extent we receive cash from the joint venture or partnership, if it meets the sales criteria in accordance with GAAP, and we do not have a commitment to support the operations of the real estate joint venture or partnership to an extent greater than our proportionate interest in the real estate joint venture or partnership.
Impairment
Our property is reviewed for impairment if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the property, including any capitalized costs and any identifiable intangible assets, may not be recoverable.
If such an event occurs, a comparison is made of the current and projected operating cash flows of each such property into the foreseeable future, with consideration of applicable holding periods, on an undiscounted basis to the carrying amount of such property. If we determine the carrying amount is not recoverable, our basis in the property is reduced to its estimated fair value to reflect impairment in the value of the asset. Fair values are determined by management utilizing cash flow models, market capitalization rates and market discount rates, or by obtaining third-party broker or appraisal estimates in accordance with our fair value measurements accounting policy.

51


We review economic considerations at each reporting period, including the effects of tenant bankruptcies, the suspension of tenant expansion plans for new development projects, declines in real estate values, and any changes to plans related to our new development properties including land held for development, to identify properties where we believe market values may be deteriorating. Determining whether a property is impaired and, if impaired, the amount of write-down to fair value requires a significant amount of judgment by management and is based on the best information available to management at the time of evaluation. If market conditions deteriorate or management’s plans for certain properties change, additional write-downs could be required in the future.
Our investment in partially owned real estate joint ventures and partnerships is reviewed for impairment each reporting period. The ultimate realization is dependent on a number of factors, including the performance of each investment and market conditions. We will record an impairment charge if we determine that a decline in the estimated fair value of an investment below its carrying amount is other than temporary. There is no certainty that impairments will not occur in the future if market conditions decline or if management’s plans for these investments change.
Our investments in tax increment revenue bonds are reviewed for impairment, including the evaluation of changes in events or circumstances that may indicate that the carrying amount of the investment may not be recoverable. Realization is dependent on a number of factors, including investment performance, market conditions and payment structure. We will record an impairment charge if we determine that a decline in the value of the investment below its carrying amount is other than temporary, recovery of its cost basis is uncertain, and/or it is uncertain if the investment will be held to maturity.

Interest Capitalization
Interest is capitalized on land under development and buildings under construction based on rates applicable to borrowings outstanding during the period and the weighted average balance of qualified assets under development/construction during the period.
Interest Expense in Discontinued Operations
Interest expense that is specifically identifiable to property, both held for sale and sold and qualifies as discontinued operations, is included in operating income from discontinued operations in our consolidated financial statements. We do not allocate other consolidated interest to operating income from discontinued operations because the interest savings to be realized from the proceeds of the sale of these operations is not material.
Income Taxes
We have elected to be treated as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to corporate level federal income tax on taxable income we distribute to our shareholders. To be taxed as a REIT, we must meet a number of requirements including defined percentage tests concerning the amount of our assets and revenues that come from, or are attributable to, real estate operations. As long as we distribute at least 90% of the taxable income of the REIT (without regard to capital gains or the dividends paid deduction) to our shareholders as dividends, we will not be taxed on the portion of our income we distribute as dividends unless we have ineligible transactions.
The Tax Relief Extension Act of 1999 gave REITs the ability to conduct activities which a REIT was previously precluded from doing as long as such activities are performed in entities which have elected to be treated as taxable REIT subsidiaries under the IRS code. These activities include buying or developing properties with the express purpose of selling them. We conduct certain of these activities in a taxable REIT subsidiary that we have created. We calculate and record income taxes in our consolidated financial statements based on the activities in this entity. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between our carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and net operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards. These are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. A valuation allowance for deferred tax assets is established for those assets when we do not consider the realization of such assets to be more likely than not.
On December 22, 2017, the U.S. government enacted the Tax Act. The Tax Act makes broad and complex changes to the Internal Revenue Code including, but not limited to, (1) reducing the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21%, (2) establishing a 20% deduction for REIT dividends (other than any portion that is a capital gain dividend), (3) limiting the deductibility of business interest, (4) allowing full expensing of certain qualifying property, (5) eliminating the corporate Alternative Minimum Tax (“AMT”) and changing how existing AMT credits can be realized, (6) limiting current net operating loss deductions and providing an indefinite carryforward and (7) limiting the deductibility of certain executive compensation. Management’s evaluation of deferred taxes and the associated valuation allowance includes an estimate of the impact of the Tax Act and was based on the best information available to management at the time (see Note 13 for additional information).
Additionally, GAAP prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition of a tax position taken, or expected to be taken, in a tax return. A tax position may only be recognized in the consolidated financial statements if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination. We believe it is more likely than not that our tax positions will be sustained in any tax examinations.
In addition, we are subject to the State of Texas business tax (“Texas Franchise Tax”), which is determined by applying a tax rate to a base that considers both revenues and expenses. Therefore, the Texas Franchise Tax is considered an income tax and is accounted for accordingly.

Share-Based Compensation
We have both share optionoptions and restricted share award plans. In November 2011, we announced changes to theawards outstanding. Since 2012, our employee long-term incentive program under our Amended and Restated 2010 Long-Term Incentive Plan ("2011 Program Changes"). Future grants ofonly awards willthat incorporate both service-based and market-based measures for restricted share awards to promote share ownership among the participants and to emphasize the importance of total shareholder return. The terms of each grant vary depending upon the participant's responsibilities and position within the Company. All awards are recorded at fair value on the date of grant and earn dividends throughout the vesting period.period; however, the dividends are subject to the same vesting terms as the award. Compensation expense is measured at the grant date and recognized over the vesting period. All share awards are awarded subject to the participant’s continued employment with us.
The share awards are subject to a three-year cliff vesting basis. Service-based and market-based share awards are subject to the achievement of select performance goals as follows:
Service-based awards and accumulated dividends typically vest three years from the grant date. These grants are subject only to continued employment and not dependent on future performance measures. Accordingly, if such vesting criteria are not met, compensation cost previously recognized would be reversed.

Market-based awards vest based upon the performance metrics at the end of a three-year period. These awards are based 50% on our three-year relative total shareholder return (“TSR”) as compared to the FTSE NAREIT U.S. Shopping Center Index. The other 50% is tied to our three-year absolute TSR.TSR, which is currently compared to an 8% hurdle. At the end of a three-year period, the performance measures are analyzed; the actual number of shares earned is determineddetermined; and the earned shares and the accumulated dividends vest. The probability of meeting the market criteria is considered when calculating the estimated fair value on the date of grant using a Monte Carlo simulation. These awards are accounted for as awards with market criteria, with compensation cost recognized over the service period, regardless of whether the market criteria are achieved and the awards are ultimately earned and vest.
Share options granted to non-officers prior to the 2011 Program Changes vest ratably over a three-year period beginning after the grant date, and share options and restricted shares for officers vest ratably over a five-year period after the grant date. Restricted shares granted to trust managers and share options or awards granted to retirement eligible employees are expensed immediately. Restricted shares and share awards have the same rights of a common shareholder, including the right to vote and receive dividends, except as otherwise provided by our Management Development and Executive Compensation Committee.
The grant price for our options is calculated as an average of the high and low of the quoted fair value of our common shares on the date of grant. Issued optionsOptions generally expire upon the earlier of termination of employment or 10 years from the date of grant, and all restricted shares for officers and trust managers are granted at no purchase price.price. Our policy is to recognize compensation expense for equity awards ratably over the vesting period, except for retirement eligible amounts.
The fair value of share options was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing method based on certain expected weighted average assumptions; including the dividend yield, the expected volatility, the expected life and the risk free interest rate. The dividend yield was an average of the historical yields at each record date over the estimated expected life. We estimated volatility using our historical volatility data for a period of 10 years, and the expected life was based on historical data from an option valuation model of employee exercises and terminations. The risk-free rate was based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve.
Retirement Benefit Plans
Defined Benefit Plans:Plan:
We sponsor a noncontributory cash balance retirement plan (“Retirement Plan”) under which an account is maintained for each participant. Annual additions to each participant’s account include a service credit ranging from 3%-5% of compensation, depending on years of service, and an interest credit of 4.5%. Vesting generally occurs after three years of service.

53


Investments of Plan Assets
Our investment policy for our plan assets has been to determine the objectives for structuring a retirement savings program suitable to the long-term needs and risk tolerances of participants, to select appropriate investments to be offered by the plan and to establish procedures for monitoring and evaluating the performance of the investments of the plan. Our overall plan objectives for selecting and monitoring investment options are to promote and optimize retirement wealth accumulation; to provide a full range of asset classes and investment options that are intended to help diversify the portfolio to maximize return within reasonable and prudent levels of risk; to control costs of administering the plan; and to manage the investments held by the plan.
The selection of investment options is determined using criteria based on the following characteristics: fund history, relative performance, investment style, portfolio structure, manager tenure, minimum assets, expenses and operation considerations. Investment options selected for use in the plan are reviewed at least on a semi-annual basis to evaluate material changes from the selection criteria. Asset allocation is used to determine how the investment portfolio should be split between stocks, bonds and cash. The asset allocation decision is influenced by investment time horizon; risk tolerance; and investment return objectives. The primary factor in establishing asset allocation is demographics of the plan, including attained age and future service. A broad market diversification model is used in considering all these factors, and the percentage allocation to each investment category may also vary depending upon market conditions. Re-balancing of the allocation of plan assets occurs semi-annually.
Defined Contribution Plans:
Effective January 1, 2012, we amended our two separate and independent nonqualified supplemental retirement plans (“SRP”) for certain employees to be defined contribution plans. These unfunded plans provide benefits in excess of the statutory limits of our noncontributory cash balance retirement plan. For active participants as of January 1, 2012, annual additions to each participant’s account include an actuarially-determined service credit ranging from 3% to 5% and an interest credit of 4.5%. Vesting generally occurs between five and 10 years of service. We have elected to use the actuarial present value of the vested benefits to which the participant was entitled if the participant separated immediately from the SRP, as permitted by GAAP.
The SRP participants' account balances, prior to January 1, 2012, were converted to a cash balance retirement plan which no longer receives service credits but continues to receive a 7.5% interest credit for active participants and a December 31, 90-day LIBOR rate plus .50% for inactive participants.

We have a Savings and Investment Plan pursuant to which eligible employees may elect to contribute from 1% of their salaries to the maximum amount established annually by the IRS. Employee contributions are matched by us at the rate of 50% for the first 6% of the employee's salary. The employees vest in the employer contributions ratably over a five-year period.
Deferred Compensation Plan
We have a deferred compensation plan for eligible employees allowing them to defer portions of their current cash salary or share-based compensation. Deferred amounts are deposited in a grantor trust, which are included in net other assets, and are reported as compensation expense in the year service is rendered. Cash deferrals are invested based on the employee’s investment selections from a mix of assets selected using a broad market diversification model.
Our deferred compensation plan was amended, effective April 1, 2016, to permit participants in this plan to diversify their holdings of our common shares six months after vesting. Thus, as of April 1, 2016, the fully vested share awards and the proportionate share of nonvested share awards eligible for diversification were reclassified from additional paid-in capital to temporary equity in our Consolidated Balance Sheet. In February 2017, the deferred compensation plan was amended to provide that participants in the plan would no longer have the right to diversify their common shares six months after vesting. Thus, the fully vested share awards and the proportionate share of nonvested share awards eligible for diversification at the amendment date were reclassified from temporary equity into additional paid-in capital in our Consolidated Balance Sheet. Deferred share-based compensation cannot be diversified, and distributions from this plan are made in the same form as the original deferral.

Fair Value Measurements
Certain financial instruments, estimates and transactions are required to be calculated, reported and/or recorded at fair value. The estimated fair values of such financial items, including debt instruments, impaired assets, acquisitions, investment securities and derivatives, have been determined using a market-based measurement. This measurement is determined based on the assumptions that management believes market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability; including, market capitalization rates, discount rates, current operating income, local economics and other factors. As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs that are classified within Levels 1 and 2 of the hierarchy) and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions (unobservable inputs classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy).

54


Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that we have the ability to access. Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs may include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, as well as inputs that are observable for the asset or liability (other than quoted prices), such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, which is typically based on an entity’s own assumptions, as there is little, if any, related market activity. In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. The fair value of such financial instruments, estimates and transactions was determined using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies as prescribed by GAAP.

Internally developed and third party fair value measurements, including the unobservable inputs, are evaluated by management with sufficient experience for reasonableness based on current market knowledge, trends and transactional experience in the real estate and capital markets. Our valuation policies and procedures are determined by our Accounting Group, which reports to the Chief Financial Officer and the results of significant impairment transactions are discussed with the Audit Committee on a quarterly basis.
Fair value estimates are based on limited available market information for similar transactions, including our notes receivable from real estate joint ventures and partnerships, tax increment revenue bonds, investments held to maturity and debt, and there can be no assurance that the disclosed value of any financial instrument could be realized by immediate settlement of the instrument. The following provides information about the methods used to estimate the fair value of the our financial instruments, including their estimated fair values:
Investments and Deferred Compensation Plan Obligations
Investments in mutual funds held in a grantor trust and mutual funds are valued based on publicly-quoted market prices for identical assets. The time deposit is a short-term investment tradeable in the secondary market and reflects current rates for a deposit with similar maturity and credit quality. The deferred compensation plan obligations corresponds to the value of our investments held in a grantor trust. Investments held to maturity are carried at amortized cost and are adjusted using the interest method for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts.
Derivative Instruments
We use interest rate contracts with major financial institutions to manage our interest rate risk. The valuation of these instruments is determined based on assumptions that management believes market participants would use in pricing, using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities. The fair values of our interest rate contracts have been determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash receipts (or payments) and the discounted expected variable cash payments (or receipts). The variable cash payments (or receipts) are based on an expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate curves.
We incorporate credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both our own nonperformance risk and the respective counter-party’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. In adjusting the fair value of our derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, we have considered the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral, thresholds and guarantees. An accounting policy election was made to measure the credit risk of its derivative financial instruments that are subject to master netting agreements on a net basis by counterparty portfolio.
Although we have determined that the majority of the inputs used to value our derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with our derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by ourselves and our counter-parties. However, we have assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of our derivative positions and have determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of our derivatives. As a result, we have determined that the derivative valuations in their entirety are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

55


Notes Receivable from Real Estate Joint Ventures and Partnerships
We estimate the fair value of our notes receivable from real estate joint ventures and partnerships using quoted market prices for publicly-traded notes and discounting estimated future cash receipts. The discount rates used approximate current lending rates for a note or groups of notes with similar maturities and credit quality, assumes the note is outstanding through maturity and considers the note’s collateral (if applicable). We utilize market information as available or present value techniques to estimate the amounts required to be disclosed.
Tax Increment Revenue Bonds
The fair value estimates of our held to maturity tax increment revenue bonds, which were issued by the Agency in connection with our investment in a development project in Sheridan, Colorado, are based on assumptions that management believes market participants would use in pricing, using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis based on the expected future sales tax revenues of the development project. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the bonds, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, such as market discount rates and unobservable market-based inputs, such as future growth and inflation rates.

Debt
The fair value of our debt may be based on quoted market prices for publicly-traded debt, on a third-party established benchmark for inactively traded debt and on the discounted estimated future cash payments to be made for non-traded debt. For inactively traded debt, our third-party provider establishes a benchmark for all REIT securities based on the largest, most liquid and most frequent investment grade securities in the REIT bond market. This benchmark is then adjusted to consider how a market participant would be compensated for risk premiums such as, longevity of maturity dates, lack of liquidity and credit quality of the issuer. The discount rates used approximate current lending rates for loans or groups of loans with similar maturities and credit quality, assumes the debt is outstanding through maturity and considers the debt’s collateral (if applicable). We have utilized market information as available or present value techniques to estimate the amounts required to be disclosed.
Reportable Segments
Our primary focus is to lease space to tenants in shopping centers that we own, lease or manage. Historically, we reviewed operating and financial information for each property by commercial use and on an individual basis. Each commercial use or each property represents an individual operating segment.
We evaluate the performance of the reportable segments based on net operating income, defined as total revenues less operating expenses and real estate taxes. Management does not consider the effect of gains or losses from the sale of property or interests in real estate joint ventures and partnerships in evaluating segment operating performance.
With the sale of our industrial portfolio in May 2012, we no longer analyze our properties by commercial use. Further, noNo individual property constitutes more than 10% of our revenues net operating income or assets, and we have no operations outside of the United States of America. Therefore, our properties have been aggregated into one reportable segment since such properties and the tenants thereof each share similar economic and operating characteristics.

ReclassificationsRetrospective Application of Accounting Standard Update
The reclassificationretrospective application of adopting Accounting Standard Update ("ASU") No. 2016-09, "Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting," ASU No. 2016-15, "Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments" and ASU No. 2016-18, "Restricted Cash" on prior years’ operating results for certain properties classified as discontinued operations wasyears' Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and applicable notes to the consolidated financial statements were made to conform to the current year presentation (see Note 15Notes 2 and 1714 for additional information). These items had no impact on previously reported net income, the consolidated balance sheet or cash flows.

Note 2.      Newly Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Adopted
In February 2013,March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-04, "Obligations Resulting From Joint2016-09, "Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting." This ASU was issued to simplify several aspects of share-based payment transactions, including: income tax consequences, classification of awards as equity or a liability, an option to recognize share compensation forfeitures as they occur and Several Liability Arrangementschanges to classification within the statement of cash flows. The provisions of ASU No. 2016-09 were effective for Whichus as of January 1, 2017. The adoption of this ASU resulted in a retrospective reclassification of $6.0 million and $1.8 million in the Total AmountConsolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the year ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, from cash flows from operating activities in changes in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities, net to cash flows from financing activities in other, net for shares used to pay employees' tax withholdings.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, "Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments." This ASU amends guidance to either add or clarify the classification of certain cash receipts and payments in the statement of cash flows. Eight specific issues were identified for further clarification and include: debt prepayment or extinguishment costs, settlement of zero-coupon debt instruments, contingent consideration payments made after a business combination, proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims, proceeds from the settlement of company-owned life insurance policies, distributions received from equity method investees, beneficial interests in securitization transactions and the classification of cash flows that have aspects of more than one class of cash flows. The provisions of ASU No. 2016-15 are effective for us as of January 1, 2018 on a retrospective basis, and early adoption is permitted. We have adopted this update as of December 31, 2017 on a retrospective basis. The adoption of this ASU resulted in a retrospective reclassification of $.5 million and $.8 million in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the year ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, from cash flows from operating activities in accrued rent and accounts receivable, net to cash flows from investing activities in other, net for the settlement of insurance claims associated with capital assets. Also, our distributions received from equity method investees are accounted for using the cumulative earnings approach.
In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-17, "Interests Held through Related Parties That Are Under Common Control." This ASU amends the consolidation guidance on how a reporting entity that is a single decision maker of a VIE should treat indirect interests in the entity held through related parties that are under common control when determining whether it is the primary beneficiary of that VIE. The provisions of ASU No. 2016-17 were effective for us as of January 1, 2017 on a retrospective basis. We have adopted this update, and the adoption did not have any impact to our consolidated financial statements.
In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, "Restricted Cash." This ASU amends prior guidance on restricted cash presentation and requires that restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents be included in the statement of cash flows. Changes in restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents that result from transfers between different cash categories should not be presented as cash flow activities in the statement of cash flows. The ASU also requires an entity to disclose information about the nature of restricted cash, as well as a reconciliation between the statement of financial position and the statement of cash flows when the statement of financial position has more than one line item for cash, cash equivalent, restricted cash and restricted cash equivalent. The provisions of ASU No. 2016-18 are effective for us as of January 1, 2018 on a retrospective basis, and early adoption is permitted. We have adopted this ASU as of December 31, 2017 on a retrospective basis, as reflected in our cash flow statement presentation and related notes (see Notes 1 and 14 for additional information). For the year ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, cash flows from investing activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows no longer reflects the change in restricted deposits and mortgage escrows totaling $20.0 million and $76.6 million, respectively.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, "Business Combinations." This ASU narrows the definition of a business and provides a framework for evaluating whether a transaction is an acquisition of a business or an asset. The amendment provides a screen to evaluate whether a transaction is a business and requires that when substantially all of the Obligationfair value of the acquired assets can be concentrated in a single asset or identifiable group of similar assets, then the assets acquired are not a business. If the screen is Fixed atnot met, then to be considered a business, the Reporting Date.assets must have an input and a substantive process to create outputs. The provisions of ASU No. 2017-01 are effective for us as of January 1, 2018, and early adoption is permitted. We have adopted this ASU prospectively as of January 1, 2017. Under this guidance, we expect most acquisitions of property to be accounted for as an asset acquisition. Additionally, certain acquisition costs that were previously expensed may be capitalized. For for the year ended December 31, 2016, we expensed acquisition costs of $1.4 million.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, "Compensation - Stock Compensation: Scope of Modification Accounting." This ASU provides guidance about the types of changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award which would require an entity to apply modification accounting. This ASU requires an entity to measure obligations resulting from jointaccount for the effects of a modification in the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award, unless three criteria are met relating to the fair value, vesting conditions and several liability arrangements for which the total amountclassification of the obligation is fixed at the reporting date, as the sum of (1) the amount the reporting entity has agreed to pay in accordance to the arrangement and (2) any additional amounts the reporting entity expects to pay on behalf of its co-obligors. Additional disclosures on the nature and amounts of the obligation will also be required.modified awards. The provisions of ASU No. 2013-04 were2017-09 are effective for us onas of January 1, 2014,2018 on a prospective basis, and were required to be applied retrospectively. The ASUearly adoption is permitted. We have adopted this update as of December 31, 2017, and the adoption did not materiallyhave any impact to our consolidated financial statements.
In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11, "Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists." This ASU amends current GAAP to require entities to present an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for net operating loss or other tax credit carryforwards when settlement is available under the tax law. The provisions of ASU No. 2013-11 were effective for us on January 1, 2014, and were required to be applied to all unrecognized tax benefits in existence. The adoption of this ASU did not materially impact our consolidated financial statements.

In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08, "Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity." This ASU amends the criteria for reporting discontinued operations while enhancing disclosures in this area. The provisions of ASU No. 2014-08 are effective for us prospectively on January 1, 2015; however, early adoption is permitted. We adopted this update effective April 1, 2014. The adoption resulted in individual property disposals no longer qualifying for discontinued operations presentation; thus, the results of these disposals will remain in income from continuing operations, and any associated gains are included in gain on sale of property. Properties sold or classified as held for sale prior to April 1, 2014, are not subject to ASU No. 2014-08 and therefore, continue to be classified as discontinued operations using the previous definition.Not Yet Adopted
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers." This ASU's core objective is for an entity to recognize revenue based on the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for goods or services. Additionally, this ASU requires entities to use a single model in accounting for revenues derived from contracts with customers. ASU No. 2014-09 replaces prior guidance regarding the recognition of revenue from sales of real estate, except for revenue from sales that are part of a sale-leaseback transaction. The provisions of ASU No. 2014-09, as amended in subsequently issued amendments, are effective for us on January 1, 2017,2018, and are required to be applied either on a retrospective or a modified retrospective approach. We have elected to apply this guidance on a modified retrospective approach upon adoption.
Our evaluation has resulted in the identification of primarily three types of customer contracts: (1) management contracts with partially owned real estate joint ventures or partnerships or third parties, (2) licensing and occupancy agreements and (3) certain non-tenant contracts. Based on our evaluation, we will continue to recognize these fees as we currently do with the exception of the timing associated with the performance obligation in our management contracts related to leasing and lease preparation related services. Upon adoption at January 1, 2018, we recognized the cumulative effect for these fees which has increased retained earnings and contract assets by $.3 million, respectively. In addition, we evaluated controls around the implementation of this ASU and have concluded there will be no significant impact on our control structure. We are still evaluating the impact to the notes in our consolidated financial statements.
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, "Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities." This ASU will require equity investments, excluding those investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee, to be measured at fair value with the changes in fair value recognized in net income; will simplify the impairment assessment of those investments; will eliminate the disclosure of the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value for financial instruments measured at amortized cost and change the fair value calculation for those investments; will change the disclosure in other comprehensive income for financial liabilities that are measured at fair value in accordance with the fair value options for financial instruments; and will clarify that a deferred asset related to available-for-sale securities should be included in an entity's evaluation for a valuation allowance. The provisions of ASU No. 2016-01 are effective for us as of January 1, 2018 and is required to be applied on a modified retrospective approach. Upon adoption, we recognized the cumulative effect for the fair value of equity investments which has increased retained earnings and accumulated other comprehensive loss each by $1.5 million and includes the effects of ASU No. 2018-02, "Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income."
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, "Leases." The ASU sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both lessees and lessors. The ASU requires lessees to adopt a right-of-use asset approach that will bring substantially all leases onto the balance sheet, with the exception of short-term leases. The subsequent accounting for this right-of-use asset will be based on a dual-model approach, under which the lease will be classified as either a finance or an operating lease. The lessor accounting model under this ASU is similar to current guidance, but certain underlying principles in the lessor model have been aligned with the new revenue recognition standard. The provisions of ASU No. 2016-02 are effective for us as of January 1, 2019, are required to be applied on a modified retrospective approach and early adoption is permitted. We anticipate adopting this ASU on January 1, 2019.
In January 2018, the FASB issued an exposure draft ("2018 Exposure Draft") which, if adopted as written, would allow lessors a practical expedient by class of underlying assets to account for lease and non-lease components as a single lease component if certain criteria are met. Also, the 2018 Exposure Draft indicates that companies may be permitted to recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption in lieu of the modified retrospective approach and provides other optional practical expedients.

We are in the process of evaluating the impact to our 5,400 lessor leases and other lessee leases, if any, that the adoption of this ASU will have on our consolidated financial statements. Within our lessor leases, we are entitled to receive tenant reimbursements for operating expenses such as real estate taxes, insurance and common area maintenance (“CAM”). Currently upon adoption of this ASU, CAM reimbursement revenue will be accounted for in accordance with Topic 606 (ASU No. 2014-09 as discussed above). We have currently identified some areas we believe may be impacted by this ASU. These include:
The bifurcation of lease arrangements in which contractual amounts due are on a gross basis and the amount under contract is not allocated between rental and expense reimbursements, such as real estate taxes and insurance. This process would be based on the underlying fair values of these items.
We have ground lease agreements in which we are the lessee for land underneath all or a portion of 13 centers and three administrative office leases that we account for as operating leases. Rental expense associated with these operating leases was, in millions: $2.9 in 2017; $3.0 in 2016 and $3.2 in 2015. We have one capital lease in which we are the lessee of two centers with a $21 million lease obligation. We will record any rights and obligations under these leases as an asset and liability at fair value in our consolidated balance sheets.
Determination of costs to be capitalized associated with leases. This ASU will limit the capitalization associated with certain costs, primarily certain internally-generated leasing and legal costs, of which we capitalized internal costs of $10.8 millionand$10.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. We believe we will be able to continue to capitalize internal leasing commissions that are a direct result of obtaining a lease.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, "Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments." This ASU amends prior guidance on the impairment of financial instruments, and adds an impairment model that is based on expected losses rather than incurred losses with the recognition of an allowance based on an estimate of expected credit losses. The provisions of ASU No. 2016-13 are effective for us as of January 1, 2020, and early adoption is permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. We are currently assessing the impact, if any, that the adoption of this ASU will have on our consolidated financial statements.
In August 2014,February 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, "Disclosure2017-05, "Clarifying the Scope of Uncertainties aboutAsset Derecognition Guidance and Accounting for Partial Sales of Nonfinancial Assets." The ASU clarifies that a financial asset is within the scope of Subtopic 610-20 if it meets the definition, as amended, of an Entity's Abilityin substance nonfinancial asset. If substantially all of the fair value of assets that are promised to Continue as a Going Concern." This ASU's core objectivecounterparty in a contract is that management should evaluate whether there are conditions or events, consideredconcentrated in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date thatnonfinancial assets, then all of the financial statementsassets promised to the counterparty are issuedor are available to be issued.in substance nonfinancial assets within the scope of Subtopic 610-20, including a parent transferring control of a nonfinancial asset through a transfer of ownership interests of a consolidated subsidiary. The provisions of ASU No. 2014-15 are effective for us as of December 31, 2016, and early adoption is permitted. We do not expect the adoption of this update to have any impact to our consolidated financial statements.
In January 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-01, "Simplifying Income Statement Presentation by Eliminating the Concept of Extraordinary Items." This ASU eliminates the concept of extraordinary items from GAAP. The provisions of ASU No. 2015-012017-05 are effective for us as of January 1, 2018 and depending on the contract type may be recorded on a retrospective or modified retrospective approach. As a result of our contract analysis under ASU 2014-09, the majority of our contracts relate to property sales to be accounted for under this ASU and could result in future gains being recognized sooner. Upon adoption, we applied the modified retrospective approach for all contract types. We recognized the cumulative effect for contracts in which gains would have been realized and have increased retained earnings and other assets by $4.0 million, respectively, at January 1, 2018.
In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-07, "Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pensions Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost." The ASU requires the service cost component to be reported as compensation costs arising from services rendered by pertinent employees during the period. The other components of net periodic benefit cost are required to be presented in the income statement separately from the service cost component and outside income from operations. Additionally, only the service cost component will be eligible for capitalization when applicable. The provisions of ASU No. 2017-07 are effective for us as of January 1, 2018 on a retrospective basis for the presentation within the income statement and prospectively for the capitalization of costs. Upon adoption of this ASU, our income statement presentation and notes will be impacted, but it does not have a material impact to our consolidated financial statements. For the year ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, net periodic benefit cost, excluding the service cost component, of $.4 million, $.7 million and $.2 million, respectively, will be restated as non-operating expenses in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, "Derivatives and Hedging - Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities." The ASU amends current hedge accounting recognition and presentation requirements. Items focused on include: alignment of an entity’s risk management activities and its financial reporting for hedging relationships, the use of hedge accounting for risk components in hedging relationships involving nonfinancial risk and interest rate risk, updates for designating fair value hedges of interest rate risk and measuring the related change in fair value of the hedged item, alignment of the recognition and presentation of the effects of the hedging instrument and the hedged item, and permits an entity to exclude certain amounts related to currency swaps. Lastly, the ASU also provides additional relief on effectiveness testing methods and disclosures. The provisions of ASU No. 2017-12 are effective for us as of January 1, 2019, and early adoption is permitted. We plan to adopthave adopted this ASU onas of January 1, 2015, and we do not expect the2018, which requires a modified retrospective transition method upon adoption. The adoption of this update toASU will not have anya material impact to our consolidated financial statements.
In January 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-01, "Leases (Topic 842)-Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842." The ASU provides an optional transition practical expedient to not evaluate existing or expired land easements under ASU No. 2016-02, if they were not previously accounted for as leases under prior guidance. The provisions of ASU No. 2018-01 are effective for us as of January 1, 2019, are required to be applied on a modified retrospective approach and early adoption is permitted. We anticipate adopting this ASU upon adoption of ASU No. 2016-02.
In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02, "Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income." ASU No. 2018-02 allows for the reclassification of the stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Act to retained earnings. The provisions of ASU No. 2018-02 are effective for us as of January 1, 2019, may be applied either at the beginning of the period of adoption or retrospectively, and early adoption is permitted. We anticipate adopting this ASU upon adoption of ASU No. 2016-01.

Aggregate gross sales proceeds from these transactions approximated $362.4$446.6 million and generated gains of approximately $167.6 million. Included in these transactions is the exercise of a purchase option by a holder of our ground leases in Texas that resulted in the disposition of three properties.$218.6 million.

Our investment in real estate joint ventures and partnerships, as reported in our Consolidated Balance Sheets, differs from our proportionate share of the entities’ underlying net assets due to basis differences, which arose upon the transfer of assets to the joint ventures. The net positive basis differences, which totaled $5.22.2 million and $6.12.6 million at December 31, 20142017 and 20132016, respectively, are generally amortized over the useful lives of the related assets.

Our real estate joint ventures and partnerships have determined from time to time that the carrying amount of certain propertiescenters was not recoverable and that the propertiescenters should be written down to fair value. ForThere was no impairment charge for the year ended December 31, 20142017, 2013. For the year ended December 31, 2016 and 20122015, our unconsolidated real estate joint ventures and partnerships recorded an impairment charge of $1.5 million, $1.91.3 million and $96.87.5 million, respectively, associated primarily with various propertiescenters that are being either marketed for sale, have been marketed and sold or with shorter holding periods of finite life joint ventures whereduring the joint ventures’ ability to recover the carrying cost of the property may be limited by the term of the venture life.period.
Fees earned by us for the management of these real estate joint ventures and partnerships totaled $4.66.2 million in 20142017, $5.05.1 million in 20132016 and $6.14.5 million in 20122015.
During 2014, we had a partial disposition2017, two centers were sold with aggregate gross sales proceeds of a 50% interest at an unconsolidated real estate joint venture for approximately $5.1 million, resulting in a gain on our investment of $1.7 million. Also, we sold four centers and other property held in unconsolidated real estate joint ventures, for approximately $19.9$19.6 million, of which our share of the gain, totaled $4.9 million.
During 2013, the final two industrial propertiesincluded in an unconsolidatedequity earnings in real estate joint ventures and partnerships totaled $6.2 million. In June 2017, a venture were sold.

The terms of our leases range from less than one year for smaller tenant spaces to over 25 years for larger tenant spaces.

Note 14.13.      Income Tax Considerations
We qualify as a REIT under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, and therefore, no tax is imposed on our taxable income distributed to shareholders. To maintain our REIT status, we must distribute at least 90% of our ordinary taxable income to our shareholders and meet certain income source and investment restriction requirements. Our shareholders must report their share of income distributed in the form of dividends.

67


Taxable income differs from net income for financial reporting purposes principallyprimarily because of differences in the timing of recognition of depreciation, rental revenue, interestrepair expense, compensation expense, impairment losses and gain from sales of property. As a result of these differences, the book value of our net fixed assets is in excess of (less than) the tax basis by $32.0$193.4 million and $(88.0)268.7 million at December 31, 20142017 and 2013,2016, respectively.

Note 15.      Discontinued Operations
During 2014, we sold 12 centers, three in each of Georgia and Texas and two in each of Florida, Louisiana and North Carolina. These dispositions represent the centers that were classified as discontinued operations or held for sale prior to April 1, 2014, our adoption date for the new qualification criteria for discontinued operations (see Note 2 for further information). Since adoption, no other dispositions have qualified as discontinued operations under the new guidance.
During 2013, we sold 20 centers, nine in Texas, three in each of Florida and North Carolina, two in New Mexico and one in each of California, Nevada and Tennessee. As of December 31, 2013, we classified as held for sale eight centers that consisted of property and accumulated depreciation totaling $155.0 million and $32.4 million, respectively, with three located in Georgia, two in each of Florida and Texas and one in North Carolina.
Excluding property held for sale at December 31, 2013, our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2013 included $68.6 million of property and $13.2 million of accumulated depreciation related to the four centers that were sold and classified as discontinued operations during 2014.

The selection of the discount rate is made annually after comparison to yields based on high quality fixed-income investments. The salary scale is the composite rate which reflects anticipated inflation, merit increases, and promotions for the group of covered participants. The long-term rate of return is a composite rate for the trust. It is derived as the sum of the percentages invested in each principal asset class included in the portfolio multiplied by their respective expected rates of return. We considered the historical returns and the future expectations for returns for each asset class, as well as the target asset allocation of the pension portfolio. This analysis resulted in the selection of 7.50%7.00% as the long-term rate of return assumption for 20142017.

These ventures allow the outside limited partners to put their interest in the partnership to us, in exchange for our common shares or an equivalent amount in cash. We may acquire any limited partnership interests that are put to the partnership, and we have the option to redeem the interest in cash or a fixed number of our common shares, at our discretion. We also participate in a real estate venture that has a property in Texas that allows its outside partner to put operating partnership units to us. We have the option to redeem these units in cash or a fixed number of our common shares, at our discretion. No common shares were issued in exchange for any of these interests during the year ended December 31, 2014 and 2013. The aggregate redemption value of these interests was approximately $52$47 million and $41$52 million as of December 31, 20142017 and 2016, respectively.
As of December 31, 2013, respectively.
As of December 31, 2014,2017, we have entered into commitments aggregating $64.3$114.7 million comprised principally of construction contracts which are generally due in 12 to 36 months.
As of December 31, 2014, we have executed an agreement to purchase the retail portion of a mixed-use project for approximately $23.8 million at delivery by the developer, which is estimated to occur in 2016. Including this payment, our expected total investment in the retail portion of the project is approximately $29.1 million.
We issue letters of intent signifying a willingness to negotiate for acquisitions, dispositions or joint ventures, as well as other types of potential transactions, during the ordinary course of our business. Such letters of intent and other arrangements are non-binding to all parties unless and until a definitive contract is entered into by the parties. Even if definitive contracts relating to the acquisition or disposition of property are entered into, these contracts generally provide the purchaser a time period to evaluate the property and conduct due diligence. The purchaser, during this time, will have the ability to terminate a contract without penalty or forfeiture of any deposit or earnest money. No assurance can be provided that any definitive contracts will be entered into with respect to any matter covered by letters of intent, or that we will consummate any transaction contemplated by a definitive contract. Additionally, due diligence periods for property transactions are frequently extended as needed. An acquisition or disposition of property becomes probable at the time the due diligence period expires and the definitive contract has not been terminated. Our risk is then generally extended only to any earnest money deposits associated with property acquisition contracts, and our obligation to sell under a property sales contract.

We are subject to numerous federal, state and local environmental laws, ordinances and regulations in the areas where we own or operate properties. We are not aware of any contamination which may have been caused by us or any of our tenants that would have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
As part of our risk management activities, we have applied and been accepted into state sponsored environmental programs which will limit our expenses if contaminants need to be remediated. We also have an environmental insurance policy that covers us against third party liabilities and remediation costs.
While we believe that we do not have any material exposure to environmental remediation costs, we cannot give absolute assurance that changes in the law or new discoveries of contamination will not result in additional liabilities to us.

Litigation
During 2013, we settled a lawsuit we filed in 2011 against our joint venture partner in connection with a development project in Sheridan, Colorado for an alleged failure of our joint venture partner to repay to us an intercompany note payable. Pursuant to the settlement agreement, our $16.1 million note receivable was paid in exchange for cash and real property totaling $19.1 million, receipt of our partner’s interest in two consolidated joint ventures resulting in an increase of approximately $16.2 million in noncontrolling interests and distribution of our interest in two unconsolidated joint ventures with total assets of $23.2 million.
We are also involved in various matters of litigation arising in the normal course of business. While we are unable to predict with certainty the amounts involved, our management and counsel are of the opinion that, when such litigation is resolved, any additional liability, if any, will not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
Note 22.20.      Variable Interest Entities
Consolidated VIEs:
At both December 31, 2014, one2017 and 2016, nine of our real estate joint ventures, whose activities primarily consisted of owning and operating 1522 and 25 neighborhood/community shopping centers, located in Texas, was determined to be VIE. During 2014, we completed the dissolution of a real estate joint venture that was previously determined to be a VIE. At December 31, 2013, two of our real estate joint ventures, whose activities primarily consisted of owning and operating 28 neighborhood/community shopping centers located in Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, Tennessee and Texas,respectively, were determined to be VIEs. Based on a financing agreementsagreement by one of our real estate joint ventures that are guaranteed solely by us,has a bottom dollar guaranty, which is disproportionate to our ownership, we have determined that we are the primary beneficiary in each of the foregoing instances and have consolidated thesethis joint ventures.venture. For the remaining real estate joint ventures, we concluded we are the primary beneficiary based primarily on our significant power to direct the entities' activities without any substantive kick-out or participating rights.
At December 31, 2016, in conjunction with the acquisition of a property with a net book value of $249.5 million, we had a like-kind exchange agreement with a third party intermediary for tax purposes. The third party purchased the property via our financing, and then leased the property to us. Based on the associated agreements, we had determined that the entity was a VIE, and we were the primary beneficiary based on our significant power to direct the entity's activities without any substantive kick-out or participating rights. Accordingly, we consolidated the property and its operations as of the respective acquisition date. During the year ended December 31, 2017, the ownership of this property was conveyed to us in accordance with the terms of the like-kind exchange agreement, and we no longer have a VIE.

During 2016, $2.5 million in additional contributions were made primarily for capital activities. We currently anticipate that $.1 million of additional contributions will be made for 2018.

Unconsolidated VIEs:

We have determined that one entity was a VIE through the issuance of a secured loan, since the lender had the ability to make decisions that could have a significant impact on the success of the entity. Based on the associated agreements for the future development of a mixed-use project, we concluded that the other entity was a VIE, but we are not the primary beneficiary as the substantive participating rights associated with the entity are shared, and we do not have the power to direct the significant activities of the entity. Our analysis considered that all major decisions require unanimous member consent and those decisions include significant activities such as development, financing, leasing and operations of the entity.

Accordingly, the assets and liabilities of this transaction were recorded in our Consolidated Balance Sheet at itsan impairment may have occurred, estimated fair value as of the effective date. Fair value of assets acquired, liabilities assumed and equity interests were estimated using market-based measurements, includingvalues are determined by management utilizing cash flow models, market capitalization rates and othermarket discount rates, or by obtaining third-party broker valuation techniques. The fair value measurement is based on both significant inputs for similar assets and liabilities in comparable markets and significant inputs that are not observable inestimates, appraisals, bona fide purchase offers or the marketsexpected sales price of an executed sales agreement in accordance with our fair value measurements accounting policy.

Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements:
Property Impairments
Property is reviewed for impairment if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the property, including any identifiable intangible assets, site costs and capitalized interest, may not be recoverable. In such an event, a comparison is made of the current and projected operating cash flows of each such property into the foreseeable future on an undiscounted basis to the carrying amount of such property. If we conclude that an impairment may have occurred,their estimated fair values are determined by management utilizingas of the effective date. Fair value of assets acquired, liabilities assumed and equity interests were estimated using market-based measurements, including cash flow models, market capitalization rates and market discount rates, or by obtaining third-party brokerother valuation estimates, appraisals, bona fide purchase offers ortechniques. The fair value measurements are based on both significant inputs for similar assets and liabilities in comparable markets and significant inputs that are not observable in the expected sales price of an executed sales agreementmarkets in accordance with our fair value measurements accounting policy. Market capitalization rates and marketKey assumptions include third-party appraisals; a minority interest discount rate of 20%; cash flow discount rates are determined by reviewing current sales ofranging from 6.5% to 8%; a terminal capitalization rate for similar properties ranging from 6% to 7.5%; and transactions,factors that we believe market participants would consider in estimating fair value. The result of this transaction is included in our Consolidated Statements of Operations beginning February 12, 2016.
