Federal Realty Investment Trust
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
SeptemberJune 30, 20172019
(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 SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2019, we owned or had a majority interest in community and neighborhood shopping centers and mixed-use properties which are operated as 104 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, 2016,2018, 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 and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. Certain 2018 amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation, which includes the presentation of rental income on our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.
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 2016 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 (see further discussion in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements). 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,

  2019, Leases (Topic
  842), Codification
  Improvements
ASC 842 significantly changes the accounting for leases by requiring lessees to recognize assets and liabilities for leases greater than 12 months on their balance sheet.  The larger changes to the lessor model include: a change in the definition of initial direct costs of leases (resulting in the upfront expensing of more leasing related costs), the requirement to make an upfront and ongoing assessment of whether collection of substantially all of the lease payments required for the term of each lease is probable (if not probable, lease revenue is effectively recognized when cash is collected), certain presentation changes, and the elimination of real estate specific guidance.


ASU 2018-10 and ASU 2019-01 provide narrow amendments that clarify how to apply certain aspects of the guidance in ASU 2016-02. ASU 2018-11 provides the option of an additional transition method, by allowing entities to initially apply the new leases standard at the adoption date and recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. It also provides lessors an option to not separate lease and non-lease components when certain criteria are met.
We have elected to apply the transition provisions of ASC Topic 842 at the beginning of the period of adoption (i.e., January 1, 2019), and therefore, did not retrospectively adjust prior periods presented. We have also elected to apply certain adoption related practical expedients for all leases that commenced prior to the effective date. These practical expedients include not reassessing whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases; not reassessing the lease classification for any expired or existing leases; and not reassessing initial direct costs for any existing leases. We have also elected the practical expedient allowing lessors to combine non-lease and lease components (primarily impacts common area maintenance recoveries).

From a lessee perspective, the primary impact of adoption on January 1, 2019 was to record a lease obligation liability and right of use asset for operating leases where we are the lessee.  The most significant of these operating leases are ground leases at 14 properties. The operating lease right of use assets and related liabilities are shown separately on the face of our consolidated balance sheet. Additionally, amounts previously recorded as capital lease assets and included in real estate have been reclassified in the June 30, 2019 balance sheet as finance lease right of use assets and the related capital lease obligations have been reclassified in the June 30, 2019 balance sheet as finance lease liabilities. Income statement presentation is not impacted for our existing operating and finance leases.

From a lessor perspective, adoption of ASC 842 results in a charge to opening accumulated dividends in excess of net income of $7.1 million. This charge is attributable to the write off of certain direct leasing costs recorded as of December 31, 2018 under the previous lease accounting rules for leases which had not commenced and the write off of December 31, 2018 unreserved receivables (including straight-line receivables) for leases where we have determined that the collection of substantially all of the lease payments required for the term of the lease is not probable. Income statement presentation changes incorporated into our June 30, 2019 financial statements include: no longer recording a gross up of revenue and expense for costs (such as real estate taxes) paid directly by lessees on our behalf and recording collectability adjustments against revenue rather than as bad debt within rental expenses.

As a result of the change in the definition of initial direct costs of leases, capitalized leasing costs excluding external commissions decreased to $0.6 million and $1.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, from$2.0 million and $3.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively.





The following table provides additional information on our operating and finance leases where 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.lessee:

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 nine months of 2017 (further discussed in Note 3 below) qualified as asset acquisitions and consequently, all transaction costs were capitalized.

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.

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:

AsOne of September 30, 2017, we have our equity method investees has 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 ourswaps which qualify for cash flow hedges both at inceptionhedge accounting. For the three and on an ongoing basis. The effective portionsix months ended June 30, 2019, our share of changesthe change in fair value of the interest raterelated 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 $0.7 million as an increase 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 September 30, 2017, 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 September 30, 2017 was a liability of $0.7 million and is included in "accounts payable and accrued expenses" on our consolidated balance sheet. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the change in valuation on our interest rate swaps resulted in a $0.4 million and $1.8 million decrease in our derivative liability, respectively, (including $0.4 million and $1.5 million, respectively, reclassified from other comprehensive loss to interest expense). The change in valuation on our interest rate swaps is included in "accumulated other comprehensive loss."loss" was $0.4 million, and $0.6 million, respectively.

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. We 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 787,962627,171 downREIT operating partnership units are outstanding which have a total fair value of $97.9approximately $80.8 million, based onwhich is calculated by multiplying the outstanding number of downREIT partnership units by our closing stock price on SeptemberJune 30, 2017.2019.
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.

NOTE 10—9—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 ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017 and 2016,2019, we had 0.2 million weighted average unvested shares outstanding and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 we had 0.3 million weighted average unvested shares outstanding, 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 and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2019 and no anti-

dilutive stock options for the thee and nine months ended September 30, 2016.2018. 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.

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 relatively 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 in 2017, an uptick in the number of retail tenants closing earlyvacating prior to the end of their lease term 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 SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2019, no single tenant accounted for more than 2.9%2.6% 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 $242$325 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 284,000301,000 square foot office building which will include 29,000an additional 18,000 square feet of retail space and 1,300 parking spaces. The buildingproject is expected to cost between $205$210 million and $215$220 million, to be delivered in 2020, and to deliver in 2019.the office portion is 100% leased. 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 adjacentacross from Santana Row, which has approximately 1 million square feet of commercial space entitlements. We are proceeding with the first phase of construction on this land, which includes an eight story 360,000 square foot office building, with over 1,700 parking spaces. The building is expected to Santana Row.cost between $250 and $270 million, with deliveries beginning in 2021.
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 of Phase II of Assembly Row which will includeincludes approximately 161,000 square feet of retail space, 447 residential units, and a 158 room boutique hotel and 447 residential units is underway. The hotel will be owned(owned and operated by a joint venture in which we are a partner. Approximately 36,000partner). Total expected costs range from $290 million

to $305 million and delivery is expected to continue through 2019. As of June 30, 2019, approximately 130,000 square feet of retail space inand the 158 room hotel have opened, and all of the residential units have been completed. Phase II has opened in 2017, and in September, the first tenants moved into the new residential building. Total expected costs range from $280 million to $295 million and delivery is expected through 2017 and 2018. Phase II will also includeincludes 122 for-sale condominium units withof which 115 units have closed as of June 30, 2019. The remaining 7 units are expected to close in 2019. The condominium units have an expected total cost of $74 million to $79$81 million.
Additionally, as partwe commenced construction on Phase III of the second phase, we entered into a ground lease agreement with Partners HealthCare to bring 741,500Assembly Row, which will include 277,000 square feet of office space (of which, 150,000 square feet is pre-leased), 56,000 square feet of retail space, 500 residential units, and over 800 additional parking spaces. The expected costs for Phase III are between $465 million and $485 million and is projected to Assembly Row. The ground lease agreement included a purchase option, which was exercised and the related sale closed on April 4, 2017.open beginning in 2022.
Construction of Phase II of Pike & Rose is also underway. Phase II will includeincludes approximately 216,000 square feet of retail space, 272 residential units, and a 177 room boutique hotel (owned and 272 residential units. Approximately 102,000operated by a joint venture in which we are a partner). As of June 30, 2019, approximately 196,000 square feet of retail space in Phase II hasand the 177 room hotel have opened, in 2017, and in August,all of the first tenants moved into the new residential building.units have been completed. Total expected costs range from $200 million to $207 million and remaining delivery is expected to continue through 2017 and 2018. The hotel will be owned and operated by a joint venture in which2019. As of June 30, 2019, we are a partner. Phase II will also includeclosed on the sale of 88 of the 99 for-sale condominium units within Phase II. The condominium units have an expected total cost of $53$62 million.
Additionally, at Pike & Rose, we have commenced construction on a 212,000 square foot office building (which includes 4,000 square feet of ground floor retail space), and will include over 600 additional parking spaces. The building is expected to cost between $128 million and $135 million and is projected to $58 million.open beginning in 2021.
Including costs incurred in the first ninesix months of 2017,2019, we expect to invest between $270$175 million and $300$200 million at Assembly Row and Pike & Rose in 2017.2019.
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 SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2019, the leasable square feet in our properties was 94.9%94.1% leased and 93.8%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 thirdsecond quarter of 2017,2019, we signed leases for a total of 424,000383,000 square feet of retail space including 400,000379,000 square feet of comparable space leases (leases for which there was a prior tenant) at an average rental increase of 14%7% on a cash basis and 27% on a straight-line basis. New leases for comparable spaces were signed for 165,000136,000 square feet at an average rental increase of 23%17% on a cash basis and 36% on a straight-line basis. Renewals for comparable spaces were signed for 234,000243,000 square feet at an average rental increase of 8%3% on a cash basis and 20% on a straight-line basis. Tenant improvements and incentives for comparable spaces were $51.81$33.12 per square foot, of which, $88.78 per square foot was for new leases and $7.89$2.00 per square foot was for renewals for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017.2019.
For the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2019, we signed leases for a total of 1,448,000688,000 square feet of retail space including 1,321,000626,000 square feet of comparable space leases (leases for which there was a prior tenant) at an average rental increase of

13% 8% on a cash basis and 26% on a straight-line basis. New leases for comparable spaces were signed for 615,000264,000 square feet at an average rental increase of 19%17% on a cash basis and 33% on a straight-line basis. Renewals for comparable spaces were signed for 706,000362,000 square feet at an average rental increase of 9%2% on a cash basis and 21% on a straight-line basis. Tenant improvements and incentives for comparable spaces were $62.57$41.75 per square foot, of which, $96.56 per square foot was for new leases and $14.33$1.77 per square foot was for renewals for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017.2019.

The rental increases associated with comparable spaces generally include all leases signed for retail space 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 20172019 generally become effective over the following two years though some may not become effective until 20202022 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 1.51.7 million square feet of retail space each year, and expect that volume for 20172019 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 ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2019, all or a portion of 83 and 7897 properties respectively, were considered same-centercomparable properties and 16 and 15eight properties respectively, were considered redevelopment or expansion.non-comparable properties. For the ninethree and six months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2019, eight properties were moved from acquisitions to comparable properties, one property andwas moved from acquisitions to non-comparable properties, one portion of a property werewas moved from redevelopmentnon-comparable to same-centercomparable properties, and two properties wereone property was removed from same-centercomparable properties, as they wereit was sold, in the third quarter of 2017, compared to the designations as offor the year ended December 31, 2016. 2018, which were 90 properties or portions of properties considered comparable and eight 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%90% 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.

This increase is primarily related to higher lease termination fees.
Mortgage Interest Income
Mortgage interest income decreased $0.2 million, or 21.0%, to $0.7 million in the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $0.9 million in the three months ended September 30, 2016. This decrease is related to a mortgage note receivable that was repaid in September 2016.

an increase of $1.5 million from acquisitions, primarily related to six shopping centers acquired in Los Angeles County, California, Hastings Ranch Plaza, and Riverpoint Center,
an increase of $0.8 million from Assembly Row and Pike & Rose primarily related to Phase II of both properties, and
an increase of $0.5 million from redevelopment and same-center properties primarily due to higher bad debt expense.

$3.9 million net percentage-of-completion gain, related to condominiums under binding contract at our Assembly Row property.
The $32.5 million gain on sale of real estate and change in control of interests, net for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 is primarily due to the following:
$25.7 million gain related to our obtaining control 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,
$4.9 million gain related to the reversal of the unused portion of the warranty reserve for condominium units at Santana Row, as the statutorily mandated latent construction defect period ended in third quarter 2016, and
$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 largely 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 SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2019, we had cash and cash equivalents of $22.9$105.9 million and $41.5 millionno outstanding balance on our $800.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, the maximum amount of borrowings outstanding under our revolving credit facility which matures on April 20, 2020,was $116.5 million, the weighted average amount of borrowings outstanding was $45.1 million and the weighted average interest rate, before amortization of debt fees, was 3.2%. On July 25, 2019, we amended our revolving credit facility to increase our borrowing capacity to $1.0 billion, lower our spread over LIBOR from 82.5 basis points to 77.5 basis points, and extend the maturity date to January 19, 2024, 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. Our
On June 7, 2019, we issued $300.0 million of fixed rate senior unsecured notes that mature on June 15, 2029 and bear interest at 3.20%. The net proceeds of $297.0 million were primarily used to repay our $275.0 million unsecured term loan, which matures onwas to mature in November 21, 2018, subject to a one-year extension at2019, resulting in no remaining debt maturing in 2019. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, we raised $68.3 million, after fees and other costs, under our option, also has an option (subject to bank approval) to increase the term loan through an accordion feature to $350.0 million. AsATM equity program, which as of SeptemberJune 30, 2017, we2019, had the capacity to issue up to $327.6$203.4 million in common shares under our ATM equity program.
For the nine months ended September 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 $173.0 million and the weighted average interest rate, before amortization of debt fees, was 1.9%. 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 $399.5 million. On September 29, 2017, we issued 6,000,000 Depository Shares, each representing a 1/1000th interest in a 5.0% Series C Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Share ("Series C Preferred Shares") for net proceeds (after underwriting fees and other costs) of approximately $145.0 million. For the remainder of 2017, we have no further debt maturing.shares. We currently believe that cash flows from operations, cash on hand,han

d, 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 20172019 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 levels of capital investments in our properties under development and redevelopment which iscompared to 2018, as we invest in the result of construction on Phase II at both Assembly Row and Pike & Rose, the construction of our next phase of Santana Row, and our redevelopment pipeline.these projects. With respect to other capital investments related to our existing properties, we expect to incur levels consistent with prior years. 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.

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 ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172019 was $344.0$116.5 million, and the weighted average interest rate on borrowings under our revolving credit facility, before amortization of debt fees, was 1.9%3.2%. On July 25, 2019, we amended our revolving credit facility to increase our borrowing capacity to $1.0 billion and extend the maturity date to January 19, 2024. We also lowered the spread over LIBOR to 77.5 basis points.

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 SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2019, we were in compliance with all financial and other covenants related to our revolving credit facility term loan and senior notes. Additionally, as of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2019, 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 SeptemberJune 30, 2017, we are2019, our Assembly Row hotel joint venture is party to two interest rate swap agreements that effectively fixed the rate on the term loanfix their debt at 2.62%5.206%. Both swaps were designated and qualified asqualify for cash flow hedges and were recorded at fair value.hedge accounting. Hedge ineffectiveness has not impacted earnings as of SeptemberJune 30, 2017, and we do not anticipate it will have a significant effect in the future.

2019.
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 or changes in control, net of tax, and impairment write-downs of certain real estate assets and investments in entities when the impairment is directly attributable to decreases in the value of depreciable real estate.estate held by the entity. 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.basis. However, we must distribute at least 90% of our annual 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 nine months ended September 30, 2017, dividends on our Series 1 preferred stock 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 includes operating partnership units and our Series 1 preferred shares that were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS. Conversion of these operating partnership units and preferred shares 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 September 30, 2017, 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)2046) 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 SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2019, we had $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 million of capital lease obligations.outstanding. If market interest rates used to calculate the fair value on our fixed-rate debt instruments at SeptemberJune 30, 20172019 had been 1.0% higher, the fair value of those debt instruments on that date would have decreased by approximately $226.1$237.5 million. If market interest rates used to calculate the fair value on our fixed-rate debt instruments at SeptemberJune 30, 20172019 had been 1.0% lower, the fair value of those debt instruments on that date would have increased by approximately $260.8$272.1 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. At SeptemberJune 30, 2017, we had $41.5 million of2019, our only variable rate debt outstanding onwas our revolving credit facility. Based upon this amount of variable rate debt and the specific terms, if market interest rates increased 1.0%, our annual interest expense would increase by approximately $0.4 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$0.4 million with a corresponding increase in our net income and cash flows for the year.facility, which had no outstanding balance.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION


ITEM 1.    LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
There have been no material developments in any of our legal proceedings since the disclosure contained in our Annual Report to Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016.2018.
ITEM 1A.    RISK FACTORS
There have been no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 20162018 filed with the SEC on February 13, 2017.2019. These factors include, but are not limited to, the following:
risks that our tenants will not pay rent, may vacate early or may file for bankruptcy or that we may be unable to renew leases or re-let space at favorable rents as leases expire;
risks that we may not be able to proceed with or obtain necessary approvals for any redevelopment or renovation project, and that completion of anticipated or ongoing property redevelopment or renovation projects that we do pursue may cost more, take more time to complete or fail to perform as expected;
risk that we are investing a significant amount in ground-up development projects that may not perform as planned, may be dependent on third parties to deliver critical aspects of certain projects, requires spending a substantial

amount upfront in infrastructure, and assumes receipt of public funding which has been committed but not entirely funded;
risks normally associated with the real estate industry, including risks that:
occupancy levels at our properties and the amount of rent that we receive from our properties may be lower than expected,
new acquisitions may fail to perform as expected,
competition for acquisitions could result in increased prices for acquisitions,
that costs associated with the periodic maintenance and repair or renovation of space, insurance and other operations may increase,
environmental issues may develop at our properties and result in unanticipated costs, and
because real estate is illiquid, we may not be able to sell properties when appropriate;
risks that our growth will be limited if we cannot obtain additional capital;
risks associated with general economic conditions, including local economic conditions in our geographic markets;
risks of financing, such as our ability to consummate additional financings or obtain replacement financing on terms which are acceptable to us, our ability to meet existing financial covenants and the limitations imposed on our operations by those covenants, and the possibility of increases in interest rates that would result in increased interest expense; and
risks related to our status as a real estate investment trust, commonly referred to as a REIT, for federal income tax purposes, such as the existence of complex tax regulations relating to our status as a REIT, the effect of future changes in REIT requirements as a result of new legislation, and the adverse consequences of the failure to qualify as a REIT.


ITEM 2.UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
None.Under the terms of various partnership agreements of certain of our affiliated limited partnerships, the interest of limited partners in those limited partnerships may be redeemed, subject to certain conditions, for cash or common shares, at our option. During the three months ended June 30, 2019, we issued 42,206 common shares in connection with redemptions of downREIT operating partnership units.

From time to time, we could be deemed to have repurchased shares as a result of shares withheld for tax purposes upon a stock compensation related vesting event.
