ITEM 1.FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The following consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2016, which has been derived from audited financial statements, and unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) have been omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although Federal Realty Investment Trust (the "Trust") believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. It is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Trust’s latest Annual Report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation for the periods presented have been included. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.

Federal Realty Investment Trust
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 2017March 31, 2018
(Unaudited)

NOTE 1—BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION
Federal Realty Investment Trust (the “Trust”) is an equity real estate investment trust (“REIT”) specializing in the ownership, management, and redevelopment of retail and mixed-use properties. Our properties are located primarily in densely populated and affluent communities in strategically selected metropolitan markets in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast regions of the United States, California, and South Florida. As of June 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, we owned or had a majority interest in community and neighborhood shopping centers and mixed-use properties which are operated as 99104 predominantly retail real estate projects.
We operate in a manner intended to enable us to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. A REIT that distributes at least 90% of its taxable income to its shareholders each year and meets certain other conditions is not taxed on that portion of its taxable income which is distributed to its shareholders. Therefore, federal income taxes on our taxable income have been and are generally expected to be immaterial. We are obligated to pay state taxes, generally consisting of franchise or gross receipts taxes in certain states. Such state taxes also have not been material.

NOTE 2—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of presentation
The accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2017, which has been derived from audited financial statements, and unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) have been omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although we believe that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. It is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Trust’s latest Annual Report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation for the periods presented have been included. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.
Principles of Consolidation
Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Trust, its corporate subsidiaries, and all entities in which the Trust has a controlling interest or has been determined to be the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (“VIE”). The equity interests of other investors are reflected as noncontrolling interests or redeemable noncontrolling interests. All significant intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation. We account for our interests in joint ventures, which we do not control, using the equity method of accounting. Certain 20162017 amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, referred to as “GAAP,” requires management to make estimates and assumptions that in certain circumstances affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and revenues and expenses. These estimates are prepared using management’s best judgment, after considering past, current and expected events and economic conditions. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Revenue Recognition
We are currently under construction on 221 condominium units at our Assembly Row and Pike & Rose properties. Gains or losses on the sale of these condominium units are recognized in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 360-20, “Property, Plant and Equipment – Real Estate Sales.” We account for contracted condominium sales under the percentage-of-completion method, based on an evaluation of the criteria specified in ASC Topic 360-20 including: the legal commitment of the purchaser in the real estate contract, whether the construction of the project is beyond a preliminary phase, whether sufficient units have been contracted to ensure the project will not revert to a rental project, the ability to reasonably estimate the aggregate project sale proceeds and aggregate project costs, and the determination that the buyer has made an adequate initial and continuing cash investment under the contract. When the percentage-of-completion criteria have not been met, no profit is recognized. The application of this criteria can be complex and requires us to make assumptions.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers." ASU 2014-09 as amended and interpreted by ASU 2015-14, ASU 2016-08, ASU 2016-10, ASU 2016-12, and ASU 2016-20, supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under GAAP and replaces it with a core revenue recognition principle, that an entity will recognize revenue when it transfers control of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services, and creates a five-step model for revenue recognition in accordance with this principle. While we are still completing the assessment of the impact of these
standards to our consolidated financial statements, we believe the majority of our revenue falls outside of the scope of this
guidance. However, the new guidance will affect the accounting method related to our gains on condominium sales. Currently, gains on contracted sales are recognized using the percentage-of-completion method, with the gain recognized once certain criteria have been met in advance of legal closing. Under the new guidance, condominium sale gains will be recognized as the

condominium units are legally sold, which will typically be upon closing. We intend to implement the new revenue recognition guidance retrospectively with the cumulative effect recognized in retained earnings at the date of initial application.
In February 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-05, "Other Income - Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets (Subtopic 610-20): Clarifying the Scope of Asset Derecognition Guidance and Accounting for Partial Sales of Nonfinancial Assets." ASU 2017-05 clarifies that ASC 610-20 applies to all nonfinancial assets (including real estate) for which the counterparty is not a customer and also clarifies that all businesses are derecognized using the deconsolidation guidance. Additionally, it defines an insubstance nonfinancial asset as a financial asset that is promised to a counterparty in a contract in which substantially all of the fair value of the assets promised in the contract is concentrated in nonfinancial assets, which excludes cash or cash equivalents and liabilities. The new guidance is expected to impact the gain recognized when a real estate asset is sold to a non-customer and a noncontrolling interest is retained. Under the current guidance, a partial sale is recognized and carryover basis is used for the retained interest, however, the new guidance eliminates the use of carryover basis and generally requires a full gain to be recognized. ASU 2017-05 is effective for us in the first quarter of 2018, and we are currently assessing the impact of this standard to our consolidated financial statements.
In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, "Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting." ASU 2017-09 clarifies when changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award must be accounted for as modifications. Under the new guidance, an entity will not apply modification accounting if the awards' fair value, vesting conditions, and the classification of the award as equity or a liability are the same immediately before and after the change. ASU 2017-09 is effective for us in the first quarter of 2018, is applied prospectively to awards granted or modified after the adoption date, and is not expected to have a significant impact to our consolidated financial statements.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, "Compensation - Stock Compensation." ASU 2016-09 simplifies the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including a policy election option with respect to accounting for forfeitures either as they occur or estimating forfeitures (as is currently required), as well as increasing the amount an employer can withhold to cover income taxes on equity awards. Additionally, ASU 2016-09 requires the cash paid to a taxing authority when shares are withheld to pay employee taxes to be classified as a "financing activity" rather than an "operating activity," as was done previously on the Statement of Cash Flows. We adopted this standard effective January 1, 2017, and as a result, we are now accounting for forfeitures as they occur, and have recorded the cumulative impact on the adoption date as a $0.1 million adjustment to additional paid in capital and retained earnings. The amount reclassified from "operating activities" to "financing activities" for shares withheld for employee taxes was $4.4 million.

In May 2014, the the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers." ASU 2014-09 as amended and interpreted by ASU 2015-14, ASU 2016-08, ASU 2016-10, ASU 2016-12, and ASU 2016-20, supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under GAAP and replaces it with a core revenue recognition principle, that an entity will recognize revenue when it transfers control of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services, and creates a five-step model for revenue recognition in accordance with this principle. ASU 2014-09 also requires new disclosures in both interim and annual reporting periods. The guidance in ASU 2014-09 does not apply to contracts within the scope of ASC 840, Leases.

ASU 2016-08 clarifies how to identify the unit of accounting for the principal versus agent evaluation, how to apply the control principle to certain types of arrangements, such as service transactions, and reframed the indicators in the guidance to focus on evidence that an entity is acting as a principal rather than as an agent.

ASU 2016-10 clarifies the existing guidance on identifying performance obligations and licensing implementation.

ASU 2016-12 adds practical expedients related to the transition for contract modifications and further defines a completed contract, clarifies the objective of the collectability assessment and how revenue is recognized if collectability is not probable,
and when non-cash considerations should be measured.

ASU 2016-20 corrects or improves guidance in thirteen narrowly focused aspects of the guidance.

The standard allows for either "full retrospective" adoption, meaning the standard is applied to all of the periods presented, or "modified retrospective" adoption, meaning the cumulative impact of applying the standard is recognized in accumulated dividends in excess of net income on the date of application.
January 2018We implemented the new revenue recognition guidance retrospectively with the cumulative effect recognized in accumulated dividends in excess of net income at the date of initial application. The primary impact relates to condominium sales. Most of our revenue is accounted for under the leasing standard, and therefore is not subject to this standard.

In 2017, gains on contracted condominium sales were recognized using the percentage-of-completion method, with the gain recognized once certain criteria were met in advance of legal closing. Under the new guidance, condominium sale gains are recognized as the condominium units are legally sold, which is typically upon closing. $5.4 million of condominium gains (net of $1.4 million of income taxes) recorded under the percentage-of-completion method in 2017 were reversed through opening accumulated dividends in excess of net income.

With the exception of condominium sales, the adoption of the standard did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements, with an additional cumulative effect of $0.6 million reflected in opening accumulated dividends in excess of net income.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, "Clarifying the Definition of a Business." ASU 2017-01 changes the definition of a business to exclude acquisitions where substantially all of the fair value of the assets acquired are concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets. Given this change in definition, we believe most of our shopping center acquisitions will no longer be considered business combinations but rather asset acquisitions. While there are various differences between the accounting for an asset acquisition and a business combination, the largest impact will be that transaction costs are capitalized for asset acquisitions rather than expensed when they were considered business combinations. Based on acquisitions in the past several years, transaction costs for a single shopping center acquisition have typically ranged from $0.2 million to $2.4 million with significantly higher transaction costs expected for an acquisition of a larger portfolio. We adopted this standard effective January 1, 2017, and are applying the new guidance prospectively. Our acquisitions in the first six months of 2017 (further discussed in Note 3 below) qualified as asset acquisitions and consequently, all transaction costs were capitalized.
StandardDescriptionDate of AdoptionEffect on the financial statements or significant matters
ASU 2016-15, August 2016, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments
This ASU provides classification guidance for eight specific topics including debt extinguishment costs, contingent consideration payments made after a business combination, and distributions received from equity method investees.January 2018This standard did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.
ASU 2016-18, November 2016, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 203) - Restricted Cash
This ASU requires that the statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or cash equivalents. Amounts generally described as restricted cash and equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning and end of period total amounts on the statement of cash flows.January 2018Prior to the adoption of this standard, "net cash provided by operating activities" was $121.1 million and "net cash used in investing activities" was $278.3 million, for the three months ended March 31, 2017. After the adoption, "net cash provided by operating activities" was $123.9 million and "net cash used in investing activities" was $279.3 million, for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The reclassification is reflected in "increase (decrease) in cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash" in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. See additional disclosures in "Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows - Supplemental Disclosures."
ASU 2017-05, February 2017, Other Income - Gains and Losses from the Recognition of Nonfinancial Assets (Subtopic 610-20): Clarifying the Scope of Asset Derecognition Guidance and Accounting for Partial Sales of Nonfinancial Assets
This ASU clarifies that ASC 610-20 applies to all nonfinancial assets (including real estate) for which the counterparty is not a customer and also clarifies that all businesses are derecognized using the deconsolidation guidance. Additionally, it defines an insubstance nonfinancial asset as a financial asset that is promised to a counterparty in a contract in which substantially all of the fair value of the assets promised in the contract is concentrated in nonfinancial assets, which excludes cash or cash equivalents and liabilities.

Under the current guidance, a partial sale is recognized and carryover basis is used for the retained interest, however, the new guidance eliminates the use of carryover basis and generally requires a full gain to be recognized for prospective disposals of nonfinancial assets.
January 2018
The new guidance impacts the gain recognized when a real estate asset is sold to a non-customer and a noncontrolling interest is retained.
The adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.
ASU 2017-09, May 2017, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting
The ASU clarifies when changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award must be accounted for as modifications. Under the new guidance, an entity will not apply modification accounting if the awards' fair value, vesting conditions, and the classification of the award as equity or a liability are the same immediately before and after the change. The new guidance is applied prospectively to awards granted or modified after the adoption date.January 2018The adoption of this standard did not have an impact to our financial statements, as there have been no modifications to awards for the three months ended March 31, 2018.

NOTE 3—REAL ESTATE
On February 1, 2017, we acquired a leasehold interest in Hastings Ranch Plaza, a 274,000 square foot shopping center in Pasadena, California for $29.5 million. The land is subject to a long-term ground lease that expires on April 30, 2054. Approximately $21.5 million of assets acquired were allocated to lease intangibles and included within other assets. Approximately $15.2 million of net assets acquired were allocated to lease liabilities and included in other liabilities.
OnDuring the three months ended March 31, 2017,2018, we acquiredclosed on the fee interest in Riverpoint Center, a 211,000 square foot shopping center in the Lincoln Park neighborhoodsale of Chicago, Illinois for $107.0 million. Approximately $1.0 million and $12.3 million of net assets acquired were allocated to other assets for "above market leases," and other liabilities for "below market leases," respectively.
We leased three parcels of land73 condominium units at our Assembly Row property to two ground lessees. During 2016, both lessees exercised purchase options under the related ground leases. The sale transaction related to the purchase option on oneand Pike & Rose properties and received proceeds net of our ground leases was completed on April 4, 2017 for a sales priceclosing costs of $36.0 million. On June 28, 2017, the sale transactions related to the purchase options on our other two ground lease parcels were completed for a total sales price of $17.3 million. The net gain recognized$51.5 million, resulting in connection with these transactions was approximately $15.4 million.
On May 19, 2017, we acquired the fee interest in a 71,000 square foot, mixed-use property located in Berkeley, California based on a gross value of $23.9 million. The acquisition was completed through a newly formed entity for which we own a 90% controlling interest. Approximately $0.8 million and $0.3 million of net assets acquired were allocated to other assets for "above market leases," and other liabilities for "below market leases," respectively. Additionally, approximately $2.4 million was allocated to noncontrolling interests.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 we recognized a $3.3 million gain, net of $1.7$1.0 million of income taxes, related to the saletaxes. The cost basis for remaining condominium units that are ready for their intended use as of condominiums atMarch 31, 2018 is $36.9 million, and is included in "assets held for sale" on our Assembly Row property basedconsolidated balance sheets. The cost basis of condominium units not yet ready for their intended use is included in "construction-in-progress" on the percentage-of-completion method. In connection with recording the gain, we recognized a receivable of $43.3 million. The closing of the Assembly Row condominium sales is expected to commence in 2018.As of June 30, 2017, no gain has been recognized for contracted condominium sales at Pike & Rose, as not all of the criteria necessary for profit recognition have been met.our consolidated balance sheets.

NOTE 4—DEBT
On June 5, 2017March 1, 2018, we refinancedrepaid the $175.0$10.5 million mortgage loan on Plaza El SegundoThe Grove at a face amount of $125.0 million and repaid the remaining $50.0 millionShrewsbury (West) at par. The new mortgage loan bears interest at 3.83% and matures on June 5, 2027.
On June 23, 2017, we issued $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of fixed rate senior unsecured notes in two separate series. We issued $300.0 million of 3.25% notes that mature on July 15, 2027, were offered at 99.083% of the principal amount, with a yield to maturity of 3.358%. Additionally, we issued $100.0 million of 4.50% notes due December 1, 2044. The 4.50%

notes were offered at 105.760% of the principal amount, with a yield to maturity of 4.143%, and have the same terms and are of the same series as the senior notes first issued on November 14, 2014. Our net proceeds from the June note offering after net issuance premium, underwriting fees and other costs was approximately $399.4 million.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, the maximum amount of borrowings outstanding under our $800.0 million revolving credit facility was $344.0$133.0 million, the weighted average borrowings outstanding was $99.8 million, and the weighted average interest rate, before amortization of debt fees, was 1.8%, for both periods. During2.4%. At March 31, 2018, the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the weighted average borrowings outstanding were $252.1 million and $173.2 million, respectively. At June 30, 2017, therebalance was no outstanding balance.$103.0 million. Our revolving credit facility, term loan and certain notes require us to comply with various financial covenants, including the maintenance of minimum shareholders’ equity and debt coverage ratios and a maximum ratio of debt to net worth. As of June 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, we were in compliance with all default related debt covenants.


NOTE 5—FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Except as disclosed below, the carrying amount of our financial instruments approximates their fair value. The fair value of our mortgages payable, notes payable and senior notes and debentures is sensitive to fluctuations in interest rates. Quoted market prices (Level 1) were used to estimate the fair value of our marketable senior notes and debentures and discounted cash flow analysis (Level 2) is generally used to estimate the fair value of our mortgages and notes payable. Considerable judgment is necessary to estimate the fair value of financial instruments. The estimates of fair value presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized upon disposition of the financial instruments. A summary of the carrying amount and fair value of our mortgages payable, notes payable and senior notes and debentures is as follows:

As of June 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, we have two interest rate swap agreements with a notional amount of $275.0 million that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The interest rate swap agreements fix the variable portion of our $275.0 million term loan at 1.72% through November 1, 2018. We assess effectiveness of our cash flow hedges both at inception and on an ongoing basis. The effective portion of changes in fair value of the interest rate swaps associated with our cash flow hedges is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss and is subsequently reclassified into interest expense as interest is incurred on the related variable rate debt. Within the next 12 months, we expect to reclassify an estimated $1.0$0.5 million as an increasea decrease to interest expense. Our cash flow hedges become ineffective if critical terms of the hedging instrument and the debt instrument do not perfectly match such as notional amounts, settlement dates, reset dates, calculation period and LIBOR rate. In addition, we evaluate the default risk of the counterparty by monitoring the credit-worthiness of the counterparty. When ineffectiveness exists, the ineffective portion of changes in fair value of the interest rate swaps associated with our cash flow hedges is recognized in earnings in the period affected. Hedge ineffectiveness has not impacted earnings as of June 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, and we do not anticipate it will have a significant effect in the future.
The fair values of the interest rate swap agreements are based on the estimated amounts we would receive or pay to terminate the contracts at the reporting date and are determined using interest rate pricing models and interest rate related observable inputs. The fair value of our swaps at June 30, 2017March 31, 2018 was a liabilityan asset of $1.1$0.5 million and is included in "accounts payable"prepaid expenses and accrued expenses"other assets" on our consolidated balance sheet.sheets. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, the change in valuation on our interest rate swaps resulted in a $0.4$0.5 million and $1.5 million decreaseincrease in our derivative liability, respectively,asset, (including $0.5$0.1 million and $1.1 million, respectively, reclassified from other comprehensive lossincome to interest expense). The change in valuation on our interest rate swaps is included in "accumulated other comprehensive loss.income."

NOTE 6—COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
We are sometimes involved in lawsuits, warranty claims, and environmental matters arising in the ordinary course of business. Management makes assumptions and estimates concerning the likelihood and amount of any potential loss relating to these matters.
We are currently a party to various legal proceedings. We accrue a liability for litigation if an unfavorable outcome is probable and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. If an unfavorable outcome is probable and a reasonable estimate of the loss is a range, we accrue the best estimate within the range; however, if no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount, the minimum within the range is accrued. Legal fees related to litigation are expensed as incurred. Other than as described below, weWe do not believe that the ultimate outcome of these matters, either individually or in the aggregate, could have a material adverse effect on our financial position or overall trends in results of operations; however, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties. Also

under our leases, tenants are typically obligated to indemnify us from and against all liabilities, costs and expenses imposed upon or asserted against us (1) as owner of the properties due to certain matters relating to the operation of the properties by the tenant, and (2) where appropriate, due to certain matters relating to the ownership of the properties prior to their acquisition by us.
Under the terms of certain partnership agreements, the partners have the right to exchange their operating partnership units for cash or the same number of our common shares, at our option. A total of 787,962762,487 downREIT operating partnership units are outstanding which have a total fair value of $99.6$88.5 million, based on our closing stock price on June 30, 2017.
On January 12, 2017, we exercised our purchase option on non-controlling interests in San Antonio Center for $2.6 million of cash and 44,195 of downREIT operating partnership units.March 31, 2018.

We have an at the market (“ATM”) equity program in which we may from time to time offer and sell common shares having an aggregate offering price of up to $400.0 million. We intend to use the net proceeds to fund potential acquisition opportunities, fund our development and redevelopment pipeline, repay amounts outstanding under our revolving credit facility and/or for general corporate purposes. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, we issued 98,658 common shares at a weighted average price per share of $137.90 for net cash proceeds of $13.4 million and paid $0.1 million in commissions and $0.1 million in additional offering expenses related to the sales of these common shares. As of June 30, 2017, we had the capacity to issue up to $357.3 million in common shares under our ATM equity program.

NOTE 10—EARNINGS PER SHARE
We have calculated earnings per share (“EPS”) under the two-class method. The two-class method is an earnings allocation methodology whereby EPS for each class of common stock and participating securities is calculated according to dividends declared and participation rights in undistributed earnings. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017March 31, 2018 and 20162017, we had 0.3 million and 0.2 million weighted average unvested shares outstanding, respectively, which are considered participating securities. Therefore, we have allocated our earnings for basic and diluted EPS between common shares and unvested shares; the portion of earnings allocated to the unvested shares is reflected as “earnings allocated to unvested shares” in the reconciliation below.
In the dilutive EPS calculation, dilutive stock options were calculated using the treasury stock method consistent with prior periods. There were 682 anti-dilutive stock options for the three months ended March 31, 2018, and no anti-dilutive stock options for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016.March 31, 2017. The conversions of downREIT operating partnership units and 5.417% Series 1 Cumulative Convertible Preferred Shares are anti-dilutive for all periods presented and accordingly, have been excluded from the weighted average common shares used to compute diluted EPS.

Overview
We are an equity real estate investment trust (“REIT”) specializing in the ownership, management, and redevelopment of high quality retail and mixed-use properties located primarily in densely populated and affluent communities in strategically selected metropolitan markets in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions of the United States, California, and South Florida. As of June 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, we owned or had a majority interest in community and neighborhood shopping centers and mixed-use properties which are operated as 99104 predominantly retail real estate projects comprising approximately 23.224.2 million square feet. In total, the real estate projects were 94.5%94.8% leased and 93.0%93.3% occupied at June 30, 2017.March 31, 2018.
2017 Significant Property Acquisitions & Dispositions
On February 1, 2017, we acquired a leasehold interest in Hastings Ranch Plaza, a 274,000 square foot shopping center in Pasadena, California for $29.5 million. The land is subject to a long-term ground lease that expires on April 30, 2054. Approximately $21.5 million of assets acquired were allocated to lease intangibles and included within other assets. Approximately $15.2 million of net assets acquired were allocated to lease liabilities and included in other liabilities.2018 Transactions
On March 31, 2017,1, 2018, we acquiredrepaid the fee interest in Riverpoint Center, a 211,000 square foot shopping center in the Lincoln Park neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois for $107.0 million. Approximately $1.0 million and $12.3 million of net assets acquired were allocated to other assets for "above market leases," and other liabilities for "below market leases," respectively.
On April 4, 2017 and June 28, 2017, the sale transactions at our Assembly Row property in Somerville, Massachusetts related to the purchase options on our Partners HealthCare and AvalonBay ground lease parcels, respectively, closed. The total sales price was $53.3 million, which resulted in a gain of $15.4 million.
On May 19, 2017, we acquired the fee interest in a 71,000 square foot, mixed-use property located in Berkeley, California based on a gross value of $23.9 million. The acquisition was completed through a newly formed entity for which we own a 90% controlling interest. Approximately $0.8 million and $0.3 million of net assets acquired were allocated to other assets for "above market leases," and other liabilities for "below market leases," respectively. Additionally, approximately $2.4 million was allocated to noncontrolling interests.

Recently Issued and Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements.

Outlook
We seek growth in earnings, funds from operations, and cash flows primarily through a combination of the following:
growth in our same-centercomparable property portfolio,
growth in our portfolio from property development and redevelopments, and
expansion of our portfolio through property acquisitions.
Our same-centercomparable property growth is primarily driven by increases in rental rates on new leases and lease renewals, changes in portfolio occupancy, and the redevelopment of those assets. Over the long-term, the infill nature and strong demographics of our properties provide a strategic advantage allowing us to maintain relatively high occupancy and generally increase rental rates. We continue to see strong levels of interest from prospective tenants for our retail spaces; however, the time it takes to complete new lease deals is longer, as tenants have become more selective and more deliberate in their decision-making process. We have also experienced extended periods of time for some government agencies to process permits and inspections further delaying rent commencement on newly leased spaces. Additionally, we have seen an overall decrease in the number of tenants available to fill anchor spaces, and have seen a recentan uptick in the number of retail tenants closing early and/or filing for bankruptcy. We believe the locations and nature of our centers and diverse tenant base partially mitigates any potential negative changes in the economic environment. However, any significant reduction in our tenants' abilities to pay base rent, percentage rent or other charges will adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. We seek to maintain a mix of strong national, regional, and local retailers. At June 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, no single tenant accounted for more than 3.0%2.9% of annualized base rent.
Our properties are located primarily in densely populated and/or affluent areas with high barriers to entry which allow us to take advantage of redevelopment opportunities that enhance our operating performance through renovation, expansion, reconfiguration, and/or retenanting. We evaluate our properties on an ongoing basis to identify these types of opportunities. We currently have redevelopment projects underway with a projected total cost of approximately $238$155 million that we expect to stabilize in the next several years.
We continue our ongoing redevelopment efforts at Santana Row and are proceeding withunder construction on an eight story 284,000 square foot office building which will include an additional 29,000 square feet of retail space and 1,300 parking spaces. The building is expected to cost between $205 million and $215 million and to deliverbe delivered in 2019. After current phases, we have approximately 4 acres remaining for further redevelopment and entitlements in place for an additional 395 residential units and 321,000 square feet of commercial space. Additionally, we control 12 acres of land adjacent toacross from Santana Row.

Row, which has approximately 1 million square feet of commercial space entitlements.
We continue to invest in our long-term multi-phased mixed-use development projects at Assembly Row in Somerville, Massachusetts and Pike & Rose in North Bethesda, Maryland which we expect to be involved in over the coming years.
Construction ofcontinues on Phase II of Assembly Row which will include approximately 161,000 square feet of retail space, 447 residential units, and a 159158 room boutique hotel and 447 residential units is underway. The hotel(which will be owned and operated by a joint venture in which we are a partner.partner). Total expected costs range from $280 million to $295 million and delivery is expected in 2017/through 2018. As of March 31, 2018, approximately 64,000 square feet of retail space has opened and 258 residential units have been completed. Phase II will also includeincludes 122 for-sale condominium units withof which 43 units have closed as of March 31, 2018. The condominium units have an expected total cost of $74 million to $79 million. Additionally, Partners HealthCare built a 741,500 square foot office building as a part of the second phase, we entered into a ground lease agreement with Partners HealthCare to bring 741,500 square feet of office space to Assembly Row. The ground lease agreement included a purchase option, which was exercised and the related sale closed on April 4, 2017.Phase II.
Construction ofalso continues on Phase II of Pike & Rose is also underway. Phase IIwhich will include approximately 216,000 square feet of retail space, 272 residential units, and a 177 room select-serviceboutique hotel (owned and 272operated by a joint venture in which we are a partner). As of March 31, 2018, approximately 154,000 square feet of retail space and the 177 room hotel have opened, and 247 residential units.units have been completed. Total expected costs range from $200 million to $207 million and remaining delivery is expected in 2017/through 2018. The hotel will be owned and operated by a joint venture in whichIn March 2018, we are a partner. Phase II will also includeclosed on the sale of 30 of the 99 for-sale condominium units within Phase II. The condominium units have an expected cost of $53$60 million to $58$62 million.
Including costs incurred in the first sixthree months of 2017,2018, we expect to invest between $270$75 million and $300$100 million at Assembly Row and Pike & Rose in 2017, net of public funding.2018.
The development of future phases of Assembly Row, Pike & Rose and Santana Row will be pursued opportunistically based on, among other things, market conditions, tenant demand, and our evaluation of whether those phases will generate an appropriate financial return.
We continue to review acquisition opportunities in our primary markets that complement our portfolio and provide long-term growth opportunities. Initially, some of our acquisitions do not contribute significantly to earnings growth; however, we believe

they provide long-term re-leasing growth, redevelopment opportunities, and other strategic opportunities. Any growth from acquisitions is contingent on our ability to find properties that meet our qualitative standards at prices that meet our financial hurdles. Changes in interest rates may affect our success in achieving earnings growth through acquisitions by affecting both the price that must be paid to acquire a property, as well as our ability to economically finance the property acquisition. Generally, our acquisitions are initially financed by available cash and/or borrowings under our revolving credit facility which may be repaid later with funds raised through the issuance of new equity or new long-term debt. We may also finance our acquisitions through the issuance of common shares, preferred shares, or downREIT units as well as through new or assumed mortgages and property sales.
At June 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, the leasable square feet in our properties was 94.5%94.8% leased and 93.0%93.3% occupied. The leased rate is higher than the occupied rate due to leased spaces that are being redeveloped or improved or that are awaiting permits and, therefore, are not yet ready to be occupied. Our occupancy and leased rates are subject to variability over time due to factors including acquisitions, the timing of the start and stabilization of our redevelopment projects, lease expirations and tenant closings and bankruptcies.
Lease Rollovers
For the secondfirst quarter of 2017,2018, we signed leases for a total of 432,000406,000 square feet of retail space including 398,000403,000 square feet of comparable space leases (leases for which there was a prior tenant) at an average rental increase of 13%22% on a cash basis and 27%31% on a straight-line basis. New leases for comparable spaces were signed for 162,000203,000 square feet at an average rental increase of 18%45% on a cash basis and 31%53% on a straight-line basis. Renewals for comparable spaces were signed for 236,000200,000 square feet at an average rental increase of 12%7% on a cash basis and 25%17% on a straight-line basis. Tenant improvements and incentives for comparable spaces were $66.26$18.41 per square foot, of which, $35.11 per square foot was for new leases and $33.13$1.47 per square foot was for renewals for the three months ended June 30, 2017.
For the six months ended June 30, 2017, we signed leases for a total of 1,024,000 square feet of retail space including 921,000 square feet of comparable space leases (leases for which there was a prior tenant) at an average rental increase of 12% on a cash basis and 25% on a straight-line basis. New leases for comparable spaces were signed for 450,000 square feet at an average rental increase of 18% on a cash basis and 31% on a straight-line basis. Renewals for comparable spaces were signed for 471,000 square feet at an average rental increase of 9% on a cash basis and 21% on a straight-line basis. Tenant improvements and incentives for comparable spaces were $66.52 per square foot for new leases and $17.53 per square foot for renewals for the six months ended June 30, 2017.March 31, 2018.
The rental increases associated with comparable spaces generally include all leases signed in arms-length transactions reflecting market leverage between landlords and tenants during the period. The comparison between average rent for expiring leases and new leases is determined by including minimum rent and percentage rent paid on the expiring lease and minimum rent and in some instances, projections of first lease year percentage rent, to be paid on the new lease. In atypical

circumstances, management may exercise judgment as to how to most effectively reflect the comparability of spaces reported in this calculation. The change in rental income on comparable space leases is impacted by numerous factors including current market rates, location, individual tenant creditworthiness, use of space, market conditions when the expiring lease was signed, capital investment made in the space and the specific lease structure. Tenant improvements and incentives include the total dollars committed for the improvement (fit out) of a space as it relates to a specific lease and, except for redevelopments, may also include base building costs (i.e. expansion, escalators or new entrances) which are required to make the space leasable. Incentives include amounts paid to tenants as inducement to sign a lease that do not represent building improvements.
The leases signed in 20172018 generally become effective over the following two years though some may not become effective until 20202021 and beyond. Further, there is risk that some new tenants will not ultimately take possession of their space and that tenants for both new and renewal leases may not pay all of their contractual rent due to operating, financing or other matters. However, these increases do provide information about the tenant/landlord relationship and the potential increase we may achieve in rental income over time.
Historically, we have executed comparable space leases for 1.2 to 1.51.6 million square feet of retail space each year, and expect that volume for 20172018 will be in line with, or slightly above, our historical averages with overall positive increases in rental income. However, changes in rental income associated with individual signed leases on comparable spaces may be positive or negative, and we can provide no assurance that the rents on new leases will continue to increase at the above disclosed levels, if at all.
Same-CenterComparable Properties
Throughout this section, we have provided certain information on a “same-center”“comparable property” basis. Information provided on a same-centercomparable property basis includes the results of properties that we owned and operated for the entirety of both periods being compared except for properties that are currently under development or are being repositioned for which significant redevelopment or expansion occurred during either of the periods being compared.and investment. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, all or a portion of 77 and 7291 properties, respectively, were considered same-centercomparable properties and 16 and 15seven properties respectively, were considered redevelopment or expansion.non-comparable properties. For the sixthree months ended June 30, 2017, one propertyMarch 31, 2018, six properties were moved from acquisitions to comparable properties and one portion of a property werewas moved from redevelopmentnon-comparable to same-center,comparable properties, compared to the designations as offor the year ended December 31, 2016. For the three months ended June 30, 2017, fivewhich were 85 properties were moved from acquisitions to same-center.or portions of properties considered comparable and seven considered non-comparable. While there is judgment surrounding changes in designations, we typically move redevelopmentnon-comparable properties to same-centercomparable properties once they have stabilized, which is typically considered 95% physical occupancy or when the growth expected from the redevelopment has

been included in the comparable periods. We typically remove properties from same centercomparable properties when the redevelopmentrepositioning of the asset has commenced and has or is expected to have a significant impact to property operating income within the calendar year. Acquisitions are moved to same-centercomparable properties once we have owned the property for the entirety of comparable periods and the property is not under development or being repositioned for significant redevelopment or expansion.and investment. Comparable property information replaces our previous same center designations.

(1)Property operating income is a non-GAAP measure that consists of rental income, other property income and mortgage interest income, less rental expenses and real estate taxes. This measure is used internally to evaluate the performance of property operations and we consider it to be a significant measure. Property operating income should not be considered an alternative measure of operating results or cash flow from operations as determined in accordance with GAAP.

Property Revenues
Total property revenue increased $10.1 million, or 5.1%, to $208.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $198.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2016. The percentage occupied at our shopping centers was 93.0% at June 30, 2017 compared to 92.9% at June 30, 2016. Changes in the components of property revenue are discussed below.
Rental Income
Rental income consists primarily of minimum rent, cost reimbursements from tenants and percentage rent. Rental income increased $11.3 million, or 5.9%, to $204.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $192.9 million in the three months ended June 30, 2016 due primarily to the following:
an increase of $5.0 million at redevelopment properties due to the opening of our new office building at Santana Row in late 2016, the lease-up of four of our retail redevelopments, and the lease-up of the new residential building at Congressional Plaza throughout 2016,
an increase of $3.1 million from acquisitions, primarily related to Riverpoint Center and Hastings Ranch Plaza,
an increase of $1.7 million from Assembly Row and Pike & Rose due primarily to the lease-up of residential units at Pike & Rose, and
an increase of $1.6 million at same-center properties due primarily to higher real estate tax recoveries of $1.1 million, higher rental rates of approximately $0.8 million, partially offset by lower average occupancy of approximately $0.4 million.

Mortgage Interest Income
Mortgage interest income decreased $0.8 million, or 52.8%, to $0.7 million in the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $1.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 2016. This decrease is related to a mortgage note receivable that was repaid in 2016.
Property Expenses
Total property expenses increased $3.3 million, or 5.4%, to $63.7 million in the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $60.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2016. Changes in the components of property expenses are discussed below.
Rental Expenses
Rental expenses increased $0.2 million, or 0.4%, to $37.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $37.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2016. This increase is primarily due to the following:
an increase of $0.6 million from acquisitions, primarily related to Hastings Ranch Plaza and Riverpoint Center,
partially offset by
a decrease of $0.3 million from redevelopment and same-center properties primarily due to lower bad debt expense.
As a result of the changes in rental income and rental expenses as discussed above, rental expenses as a percentage of rental income plus other property income decreased to 17.9% in the three months ended June 30, 2017 from 18.8% in the three months ended June 30, 2016.
Real Estate Taxes
Real estate tax expense increased $3.1 million, or 13.4%, to $26.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $23.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2016 due primarily to:
an increase of $2.3 million at same-center and redevelopment properties due primarily to higher assessments, and $0.4 million related to our new office building at Santana Row, and
an increase of $0.7 million from acquisitions, primarily related to Riverpoint Center and Hastings Ranch Plaza.
Property Operating Income
Property operating income increased $6.8 million, or 4.9%, to $144.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $137.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 2016. This increase is primarily due to growth in earnings at redevelopment properties, the acquisitions of Riverpoint Center in March 2017 and Hastings Ranch Plaza in February 2017, and Assembly Row and Pike & Rose (primarily the lease-up of residential units at Pike & Rose).
Other Operating Expenses
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expense increased $4.2 million, or 8.7%, to $52.7 million in the three months ended June 30, 2017 from $48.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2016. This increase is primarily due to redevelopment properties (largely the new office building at Santana Row), 2017 acquisitions, and Assembly Row and Pike & Rose.
Operating Income
Operating income increased $3.0 million, or 3.7%, to $83.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $80.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2016. This increase is primarily due to growth in earnings at redevelopment properties, earnings growth at Assembly Row and Pike & Rose, and 2017 acquisitions.
Other
Interest Expense
Interest expense increased $0.8 million, or 3.5%, to $23.9 million in the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $23.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2016. This increase is due primarily to the following:

an increase of $3.6 million due to higher borrowings primarily attributable to the 3.625% senior notes issued in July 2016 and higher weighted average borrowings on our revolving credit facility,
partially offset by
an increase of $2.0 million in capitalized interest, and
a decrease of $0.8 million due to a lower overall weighted average borrowing rate.
Gross interest costs were $30.1 million and $27.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Capitalized interest was $6.2 million and $4.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
Gain on Sale of Real Estate, Net
The $19.0 million gain on sale of real estate, net for the three months ended June 30, 2017 is primarily due to the following:
$15.4 million gain related to the sale of three ground lease parcels at our Assembly Row property, and
$3.3 million net percentage-of-completion gain, related to condominiums under binding contract at our Assembly Row property.
The $1.8 million gain for the three months ended June 30, 2016 is related to the sale of a building in Coconut Grove, Florida. Our share of the gain, net of noncontrolling interests, was $0.7 million.

$25.7 million gain related to our obtaining controlresult of six properties when we acquired Clarion’s 70% interest in the partnership that owned those properties. The properties were previously accounted for under the equity method of accounting. We consolidated these assets effective January 13, 2016, and consequently recognized a gain on obtaining the controlling interest.
$1.8 million gain related to the sale of a building in Coconut Grove, Florida. Our share of the gain, net of noncontrolling interests, was $0.7 million.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Due to the nature of our business and strategy, we typically generate significant amounts of cash from operations. The cash generated from operations is primarilylargely paid to our common and preferred shareholders in the form of dividends. As a REIT, we must generally make annual distributions to shareholders of at least 90% of our taxable income.
Our short-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of normal recurring operating expenses, obligations under our capital and operating leases, regular debt service requirements (including debt service relating to additional or replacement debt, as well as scheduled debt maturities), recurring expenditures, non-recurring expenditures (such as tenant improvements and

redevelopments) and dividends to common and preferred shareholders. Our long-term capital requirements consist primarily of maturities under our long-term debt agreements, development and redevelopment costs and potential acquisitions.
We intend to operate with and maintain a conservative capital structure that will allow us to maintain strong debt service coverage and fixed-charge coverage ratios as part of our commitment to investment-grade debt ratings. In the short and long term, we may seek to obtain funds through the issuance of additional equity, unsecured and/or secured debt financings, joint venture relationships relating to existing properties or new acquisitions, and property dispositions that are consistent with this conservative structure.

At June 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, we had cash and cash equivalents of $96.3$64.4 million and no$103.0 million outstanding balance on our $800.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility which matures on April 20, 2020, subject to two six-month extensions at our option. In addition, we have an option (subject to bank approval) to increase the credit facility through an accordion feature to $1.5 billion. For the three months ended March 31, 2018, the maximum amount of borrowings outstanding under our revolving credit facility was $133.0 million, the weighted average amount of borrowings outstanding was $99.8 million and the weighted average interest rate, before amortization of debt fees, was 2.4%. Our only remaining debt maturing in 2018 is our $275.0 million unsecured term loan which matures on November 21, 2018, subject to a one-year extension at our option, also has an option (subject to bank approval) to increase the term loan through an accordion feature to $350.0 million.option. As of June 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, we had the capacity to issue up to $357.3$261.3 million in common shares under our ATM equity program.
For the six months ended June 30, 2017, the maximum amount of borrowings outstanding under our revolving credit facility was $344.0 million, the weighted average amount of borrowings outstanding was $173.2 million and the weighted average interest rate, before amortization of debt fees, was 1.8%. On June 23, 2017, we issued $300.0 million of 3.25% senior unsecured notes that mature on July 15, 2027, and $100.0 million of 4.50% notes that mature on December 1, 2044 for net proceeds (after net issuance premium, underwriting fees and other costs) of approximately $399.4 million. For the remainder of 2017, we have $42.0 million of mortgage debt maturing. We currently believe that cash flows from operations, cash on hand, our ATM program, our revolving credit facility and our general ability to access the capital markets will be sufficient to finance our operations and fund our debt service requirements (including maturities) and capital expenditures.
Our overall capital requirements for the remainder of 20172018 will depend upon acquisition opportunities, the level of improvements and redevelopments on existing properties and the timing and cost of development of Assembly Row, Pike & Rose and future phases of Santana Row. While the amount of future expenditures will depend on numerous factors, we expect to continue to see higher levelsa reduced level of capital investments in our properties under development and redevelopment compared to recent years, which is the result of completing construction on Phase II at both Assembly Row and Pike & Rose the construction of our next phase of Santana Row, and our redevelopment pipeline.in 2018. With respect to other capital investments related to our existing properties, we expect to incur levels consistent with prior years. In third quarter 2017, we expect to close on an acquisition of an approximately 90% interest in a joint venture that owns six shopping centers and that owns a 25% interest in a seventh shopping center. We expect our initial investment to be funded with assumed debt and approximately $260 million of cash. Our capital investments will be funded on a short-term basis with cash flow from operations, cash on hand and/or our revolving credit facility, and on a long-term basis, with long-term debt or equity including shares issued under our ATM equity program. If necessary, we may access the debt or equity capital markets to finance significant acquisitions. Given our past ability to access the capital markets, we expect debt or equity to be available to us. Although there is no intent at this time, if market conditions deteriorate, we may delay the timing of certain development and redevelopment projects as well as limit future acquisitions, reduce our operating expenditures, or re-evaluate our dividend policy.
In addition to conditions in the capital markets which could affect our ability to access those markets, the following factors could affect our ability to meet our liquidity requirements:
restrictions in our debt instruments or preferred shares may limit us from incurring debt or issuing equity at all, or on acceptable terms under then-prevailing market conditions; and
we may be unable to service additional or replacement debt due to increases in interest rates or a decline in our operating performance.

The increase was primarily attributable to higher net income before certain non-cash items lower escrow balances,partially offset by timing of interest payments on our senior notes and higher prepaid rent.timing of operating expense payments.
Net cash used in investing activities increased $89.1decreased $233.1 million to $390.0$46.2 million during the sixthree months ended June 30, 2017March 31, 2018 from $300.9$279.3 million during the sixthree months ended June 30, 2016.March 31, 2017. The decrease was primarily attributable to:
a $141.2 million decrease in acquisitions of real estate, primarily due to the 2017 acquisitions of our Riverpoint Center and Hastings Ranch properties,
$51.5 million of proceeds from the sale of condominiums at our Assembly Row and Pike & Rose properties in March 2018, and
a $46.1 million decrease in capital expenditures as we complete portions of Phase II of both our Assembly Row and Pike & Rose projects.

Net cash used in financing activities increased $183.5 million to $29.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2018 from $154.0 million provided during the three months ended March 31, 2017. The increase was primarily attributable to:
a $96.2 million increase in capital investments and leasing costs as we continue to invest in Pike & Rose, Assembly Row, Santana Row, and other current redevelopments, and
a $38.6 million increase in acquisitions of real estate,
partially offset by
$46.7 million in proceeds from the sale of three land parcels at Assembly Row.
Net cash provided by financing activities increased $126.2 million to $221.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2017 from $94.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2016. The increase was primarily attributable to:
$399.4 million net proceeds from the June 2017 issuance of $300.0 million of 3.25% senior unsecured notes that mature on July 15, 2027 and $100.0 million of 4.50% notes that mature on December 1, 2044,

1)We entered into two interest rate swap agreements that fix the LIBOR portion of the interest rate on the term loan at 1.72%. The spread on the term loan is 90 basis points resulting in a fixed rate of 2.62%.
2)The maximum amount drawn under our revolving credit facility during the sixthree months ended June 30, 2017March 31, 2018 was $344.0$133.0 million, and the weighted average interest rate on borrowings under our revolving credit facility, before amortization of debt fees, was 1.8%2.4%.
Our revolving credit facility, term loan and other debt agreements include financial and other covenants that may limit our operating activities in the future. As of June 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, we were in compliance with all financial and other covenants related to our revolving credit facility, term loan and senior notes. Additionally, as of June 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, we were in compliance with all of

the financial and other covenants that could trigger loan default on our mortgage loans. If we were to breach any of these financial and other covenants and did not cure the breach within an applicable cure period, our lenders could require us to repay the debt immediately and, if the debt is secured, could immediately begin proceedings to take possession of the property securing the loan. Many of our debt arrangements, including our public notes, term loan and our revolving credit facility, are cross-defaulted, which means that the lenders under those debt arrangements can put us in default and require immediate repayment of their debt if we breach and fail to cure a default under certain of our other debt obligations. As a result, any default under our debt covenants could have an adverse effect on our financial condition, our results of operations, our ability to meet our obligations and the market value of our shares. Our organizational documents do not limit the level or amount of debt that we may incur.

Interest Rate Hedging
We may use derivative instruments to manage exposure to variable interest rate risk. We generally enter into interest rate swaps to manage our exposure to variable interest rate risk and treasury locks to manage the risk of interest rates rising prior to the issuance of debt. We enter into derivative instruments that qualify as cash flow hedges and do not enter into derivative instruments for speculative purposes.
The interest rate swaps associated with our cash flow hedges are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. We assess effectiveness of our cash flow hedges both at inception and on an ongoing basis. The effective portion of changes in fair value of the interest rate swaps associated with our cash flow hedges is recorded in other comprehensive income/loss which is included in accumulated other comprehensive loss on our consolidated balance sheet and our consolidated statement of shareholders' equity. Our cash flow hedges become ineffective if critical terms of the hedging instrument and the debt instrument do not perfectly match such as notional amounts, settlement dates, reset dates, calculation period and LIBOR rate. In addition, we evaluate the default risk of the counterparty by monitoring the credit-worthiness of the counterparty which includes reviewing debt ratings and financial performance. However, management does not anticipate non-performance by the counterparty. If a cash flow hedge is deemed ineffective, the ineffective portion of changes in fair value of the interest rate swaps associated with our cash flow hedges is recognized in earnings in the period affected.
As of June 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, we are party to two interest rate swap agreements that effectively fixed the rate on the term loan at 2.62%. Both swaps were designated and qualified as cash flow hedges and were recorded at fair value. Hedge ineffectiveness has not impacted earnings as of June 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, and we do not anticipate it will have a significant effect in the future.
REIT Qualification
We intend to maintain our qualification as a REIT under Section 856(c) of the Code. As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to corporate federal income taxes on income we distribute to our shareholders as long as we satisfy certain technical requirements of the Code, including the requirement to distribute at least 90% of our taxable income to our shareholders.

Funds From Operations
Funds from operations (“FFO”) is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure of real estate companies’ operating performance. The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) defines FFO as follows: net income, computed in accordance with U.S. GAAP, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization and excluding extraordinary items, gains and losses on the sale of real estate, and impairment write-downs of depreciable real estate. We compute FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition, and we have historically reported our FFO available for common shareholders in addition to our net income and net cash provided by operating activities. It should be noted that FFO:
does not represent cash flows from operating activities in accordance with GAAP (which, unlike FFO, generally reflects all cash effects of transactions and other events in the determination of net income);
should not be considered an alternative to net income as an indication of our performance; and
is not necessarily indicative of cash flow as a measure of liquidity or ability to fund cash needs, including the payment of dividends.
We consider FFO available for common shareholders a meaningful, additional measure of operating performance primarily because it excludes the assumption that the value of the real estate assets diminishes predictably over time, as implied by the historical cost convention of GAAP and the recording of depreciation. We use FFO primarily as one of several means of assessing our operating performance in comparison with other REITs. Comparison of our presentation of FFO to similarly titled measures for other REITs may not necessarily be meaningful due to possible differences in the application of the NAREIT definition used by such REITs.
An increase or decrease in FFO available for common shareholders does not necessarily result in an increase or decrease in aggregate distributions because our Board of Trustees is not required to increase distributions on a quarterly basis unless necessary for us to maintain REIT status. However, we must distribute at least 90% of our taxable income to remain qualified as a REIT. Therefore, a significant increase in FFO will generally require an increase in distributions to shareholders although not necessarily on a proportionate basis.
The reconciliation of net income to FFO available for common shareholders is as follows:

(1)For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, dividends on our Series 1 preferred stockshares are not deducted in the calculation of FFO available to common shareholders, as the related shares are dilutive and included in "weighted average common shares, diluted."
(2)The weighted average common shares used to compute FFO per diluted common share also includes operating partnership units that were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS. Conversion of these operating partnership units is dilutive in the computation of FFO per diluted common share but is anti-dilutive for the computation of diluted EPS for the periods presented.

ITEM 3.    QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Our use of financial instruments, such as debt instruments, subjects us to market risk which may affect our future earnings and cash flows, as well as the fair value of our assets. Market risk generally refers to the risk of loss from changes in interest rates and market prices. We manage our market risk by attempting to match anticipated inflow of cash from our operating, investing and financing activities with anticipated outflow of cash to fund debt payments, dividends to common and preferred shareholders, investments, capital expenditures and other cash requirements.
We may enter into certain types of derivative financial instruments to further reduce interest rate risk. We use interest rate protection and swap agreements, for example, to convert some of our variable rate debt to a fixed-rate basis or to hedge anticipated financing transactions. We use derivatives for hedging purposes rather than speculation and do not enter into financial instruments for trading purposes. As of June 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, we were party to two interest rate swap agreements that effectively fixed the rate on the term loan at 2.62%.
Interest Rate Risk
The following discusses the effect of hypothetical changes in market rates of interest on interest expense for our variable rate debt and on the fair value of our total outstanding debt, including our fixed-rate debt. Interest rate risk amounts were determined by considering the impact of hypothetical interest rates on our debt. Quoted market prices were used to estimate the fair value of our marketable senior notes and debentures and discounted cash flow analysis is generally used to estimate the fair value of our mortgages and notes payable. Considerable judgment is necessary to estimate the fair value of financial instruments. This analysis does not purport to take into account all of the factors that may affect our debt, such as the effect that a changing interest rate environment could have on the overall level of economic activity or the action that our management might take to reduce our exposure to the change. This analysis assumes no change in our financial structure.
Fixed Interest Rate Debt
The majority of our outstanding debt obligations (maturing at various times through 2046 or, with respect to capital lease obligations, through 2106) have fixed interest rates which limit the risk of fluctuating interest rates. However, interest rate fluctuations may affect the fair value of our fixed rate debt instruments. At June 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, we had $3.1$3.2 billion of fixed-rate debt outstanding, including our $275.0 million term loan as the rate is effectively fixed by two interest rate swap agreements; we also had $71.6$71.5 million of capital lease obligations. If market interest rates used to calculate the fair value on our fixed-rate debt instruments at June 30, 2017March 31, 2018 had been 1.0% higher, the fair value of those debt instruments on that date would have decreased by approximately $221.6$224.8 million. If market interest rates used to calculate the fair value on our fixed-rate debt instruments at June 30, 2017March 31, 2018 had been 1.0% lower, the fair value of those debt instruments on that date would have increased by approximately $256.4$258.9 million.
Variable Interest Rate Debt
Generally, we believe that our primary interest rate risk is due to fluctuations in interest rates on our outstanding variable rate debt. Our $800.0At March 31, 2018, we had $103.0 million of variable rate debt outstanding on our revolving credit facility is currently our onlyfacility. Based upon this amount of variable rate debt and as of June 30, 2017, there was no amount outstanding.the specific terms, if market interest rates increased 1.0%, our annual interest expense would increase by approximately $1.0 million with a corresponding decrease in our net income and cash flows for the year. Conversely, if market interest rates decreased 1.0%, our annual interest expense would decrease by approximately $1.0 million with a corresponding increase in our net income and cash flows for the year.
