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, 20202021, we had 0.3 million and 2019,for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, we had 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.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated interim financial statements and notes thereto appearing in Item 1 of this report and the more detailed information contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20192020 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 10, 2020.11, 2021.
Certain statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are forward-looking statements. Those statements include statements regarding the intent, belief or current expectations of Federal Realty Investment Trust (“we” “our” or “us”) and members of our management team, as well as the assumptions on which such statements are based, and generally are identified by the use of words such as “may,” “will,” “seeks,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “plans,” “intends,” “should” or similar expressions. Actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements.

operations, cash flows, and growth prospects is highly uncertain and will ultimately depend on future developments, none of which can be predicted with any certainty. See Item 1A. Risk Factors. However, we believe the actions we are taking will help minimize interruptions to our operations and will put us in the best position to participate in the resulting economic recovery. Management and our Board of Trustees will continue to actively monitor the effects of the pandemic, including governmental directives in the jurisdictions in which we operate and the recommendations of public health authorities, and will, as needed, take further measures to adapt our business in the best interests of our shareholders and personnel.Contents

20202021 Debt and Equity Transactions
In connection withOn February 5, 2021, we repaid the two buildings$16.2 million mortgage loan on Sylmar Towne Center, at par, prior to its original maturity date.
On February 24, 2021, we acquired in Hoboken, New Jersey on February 12, 2020, we assumed two mortgage loansreplaced our existing at-the-market (“ATM”) equity program with a net face amount of $8.9 million and a fair value of $9.0 million. The mortgage loans bear interest at 4.00% and mature on July 27, 2027.
In March 2020, in order to strengthen our financial position and balance sheet, to maximize our liquidity, and to provide maximum financial flexibility to continue our business initiatives as the effects of COVID-19 continue to evolve, we borrowed $990.0 million under our revolving credit facility, representing a draw-down of almost the entirety of our $1.0 billion revolving credit facility. This amount was subsequently repaid when we entered into a $400.0 million unsecured term loan on May 6, 2020 and issued $700.0 million of fixed rate unsecured senior notes on May 11, 2020.
The unsecured term loan matures on May 6, 2021, plus one twelve month extension at our option, and bears interest at LIBOR plus 135 basis points based on our current credit rating. Our net proceeds from this transaction after underwriting fees and other costs were $398.7 million.
The $700.0 million of unsecured senior notes issued in May 2020 comprise a $300.0 million reopening of our 3.95% senior notes maturing on January 15, 2024 and a $400.0 million issuance of 3.50% senior notes maturing on June 1, 2030. The 3.95% senior notes were offered at 103.257% of the principal amount with a yield to maturity of 2.944%, and have the same terms and are of the same series as the $300.0 million senior notes issued on December 9, 2013. The 3.50% senior notes were offered at 98.911% of the principal amount with a yield to maturity of 3.630%. Our net proceeds from these transactions after the net issuance premium, underwriting fees, and other costs were $700.1 million.
We have an at-the-market (“ATM”)new 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$500.0 million. On May 7, 2021, we amended this ATM equity program, which reset the limit to $500.0 million. The new ATM equity program also allows shares to be sold through forward sales contracts.

As of
For the six months ended June 30, 2020,2021, we hadissued 847,471 common shares at a weighted average price per share of $104.19 for net cash proceeds of $87.1 million including paying $0.9 million in commissions and $0.3 million in additional offering expenses related to the sales of these common shares. We also entered into forward sales contracts for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 for 1,194,733 and 1,526,051 shares, respectively, under our ATM equity program at a weighted average offering price of $117.47 and $115.30, respectively.

Outlook
Our long-term growth strategy is focused on growth in earnings, funds from operations, and cash flows primarily through a combination of the following:
•growth in our comparable property portfolio,
•growth in our portfolio from property developments and redevelopments, and
•expansion of our portfolio through property acquisitions.
While the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic is impacting us in the short-term, our long-term focus has not changed. See our 10-K filed on February 13, 2020,11, 2021, for discussion of our our long-term strategies.
The actions taken by federal,Federal, state, and local governments have taken various actions to mitigate the spread of COVID-19, including initially by ordering closures of non-essential businesses and ordering residents to generally stay at home, and subsequent phased re-openings have resulted in
home. While many of ourthese restrictions have since been lifted, they required a significant number of tenants temporarilyto close their operations or even permanently closingto significantly limit the amount of business they were able to conduct in their businesses,stores. These closures and for some, it hasrestrictions, along with general concerns over the
spread of COVID-19 have impacted theirthe tenants' ability to timely pay rent. Asrent as required under our leases and also caused many tenants to close their business permanently. While we are seeing signs of July 31, 2020, approximately 11% of our tenants (based on occupied square footage) were closed as a result of governmental orders compared to 51% at March 31, 2020. Theseconsiderable improvement in the past few months, these economic hardships have adversely impacted our business, and hadcontinue to have a negative effect on our financial results during the second quarter ended June 30, 2020.of 2021. With very few exceptions, our leases require tenants to continue to pay rent even while closed as a result of the pandemic, however,and while many tenants did not pay rents and other charges during the second quartera portion of 2020, andthe majority of our tenants have resumed paying all or a portion of their rent and/or other charges as their businesses were able to reopen. Our percentage of contractual rent actually collected has continued to increase since the low point in July 2020.April 2020, including some tenants paying past due amounts. As of June 30, 2020,2021, we have entered into agreements with approximately 20%32% of our tenants (based on total commercial leases) to defer rent payments to later periods, largely throughthroughout the remainder of 2021, although some extend beyond, and negotiations with other tenants are still ongoing. Our percentage of contractual rent actually collected has increased each month since April, including some tenants paying past due amounts. While thisincreasing monthly cash collection rates is a positive trend driven by government mandated restrictions graduallygenerally being lifted, we are expectingexpect that our rent collections will continue to be below our tenants’ contractual rent obligations and historical levels, which will continue to adversely impact our results of operations. We are also experiencing a lower level of occupancy than in our past, largely due to the pandemic, which will adversely impact our results until we can release the space and the tenant commences paying rent as well as limit future vacancies caused by the pandemic. We are, however, experiencing strong demand for our commercial space as evidenced by the 1.1 million square feet of comparable space retail leasing we've completed in the first half of 2021, as well as our overall leased percentage at 92.7%, compared to our occupied percentage of only 89.6%.
The extent of suchthe impact from COVID-19 will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. Depending upon the duration of tenant closures, future operating restrictions, and the overall economic downturn resulting from COVID-19, we may find that even deferred rents are difficult to collect, and we may experience higher vacancy levels. While the duration and severity of the economic impact resulting from COVID-19 is unknown, we seek to position the Trust to continue to participate in the resulting economic recovery.
We continue to have several development projects in process albeit at a slower pace due to COVID-19 related restrictions, being delivered as follows:
| |
• | In the 1st quarter of 2020, we delivered the fully leased eight story, 301,000 square foot office building at Santana Row.
|
The first phase of construction on the 12 acres of land that we control across from Santana RowWest includes an eight story 376,000 square foot office building, with over 1,700 parking spaces. The building is expected to cost between $250 million and $270 million with openings beginningexpected to begin in 2022.
•Phase III of Assembly Row includes 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 openwith spaces being delivered beginning in the second quarter of 2021. At June 30, 2021, 150,000 square feet of office space has been delivered and 13,000 square feet of retail space has opened.
At•Phase III at Pike & Rose we are continuing construction onincludes a 212,000 square foot office building (which includes 4,0007,000 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 will begin to open later in 2020.million. At June 30, 2021, approximately 159,000 square feet has been leased, of which approximately 45,000 square feet is our new corporate headquarters.
•Throughout the portfolio, we currently have redevelopment projects underway with a projected total cost of approximately $318$274 million that we expect to stabilize over the next several years.
The above includes our best estimates based on information currently known, however, the completion of construction, final costs, and the timing of leasing and openings will be dependent upon the duration of governmental restrictions and the duration and severity of the economic impacts of COVID-19.
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 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 assumed mortgages and property sales.
At June 30, 2020,2021, the leasable square feet in our properties was 93.0%92.7% leased and 90.8%89.6% 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 second quarter of 2020,2021, we signed leases for a total of 315,000577,000 square feet of retail space including 278,000558,000 square feet of comparable space leases (leases for which there was a prior tenant) at an average rental increase of 11%8% on a cash basis. New leases for comparable spaces were signed for 123,000415,000 square feet at an average rental increase of 32%11% on a cash basis. Renewals for comparable spaces were signed for 155,000144,000 square feet at no average rental increase on a cash basis. Tenant improvements and incentives for comparable spaces were $30.94$51.35 per square foot, of which, $69.12$67.87 per square foot was for new leases and $0.69$3.74 per square foot was for renewals for the three months ended June 30, 2020.2021.
For the six months ended June 30, 2020,2021, we signed leases for a total of 806,0001,091,000 square feet of retail space including 744,0001,065,000 square feet of comparable space leases (leases for which there was a prior tenant) at an average rental increase of 7%8% on a cash basis. New leases for comparable spaces were signed for 274,000635,000 square feet at an average rental increase of 16%13% on a cash basis. Renewals for comparable spaces were signed for 470,000430,000 square feet at an average rental increase of 2%1% on a cash basis. Tenant improvements and incentives for comparable spaces were $31.21$42.20 per square foot, of which, $79.88$67.62 per square foot was for new leases and $2.86$4.70 per square foot was for renewals for the six months ended June 30, 2020.2021.
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 minimumcontractual rent and percentage rent paid on the expiring lease and minimumannual market 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. As a result of accommodations made to certain tenants to help them to stay open during and after the COVID-19 pandemic, we have found it necessary to exercise more judgement in 2020 and 2021 than in prior years in order to appropriately reflect the comparability of spaces in the 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.lease. Incentives include amounts paid to tenants as inducement to sign a lease that do not represent building improvements. Costs related
Historically, we have executed comparable space leases for 1.3 to redevelopments requires judgment1.9 million square feet of retail space each year. We expect some rental rates to continue to be negatively impacted by managementthe COVID-19 pandemic. Given the significant volume of leasing we've achieved during the first six months of 2021, we expect the overall volume in determining what reflects base building costs2021 to be at the high end, or potentially exceed, our historical averages given a larger amount of vacancy as a result of COVID-19. Although we expect overall positive increases in annual rent for comparable spaces, changes in annual rent for any individual lease or combinations of individual leases reported in any particular period may be positive or negative and thus, is not included inwe can provide no assurance that the "tenant improvements and incentives" amount.annual rents on comparable space leases will continue to increase at historical levels, if at all.
The leases signed in 20202021 generally become effective over the following two years though some may not become effective until 20232024 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, theseour historical increases in rental rates 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 1.3 to 1.9 million square feet of retail space each year, however, we expect that volume and potentially rental rate increases for 2020 to be negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Comparable Properties
Throughout this section, we have provided certain information on a “comparable property” basis. Information provided on a comparable 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 significant redevelopment and investment. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020,2021, all or a portion of 98 and 97 properties respectively, were considered comparable properties and eightsix properties were considered non-comparable properties. For the three months ended June 30, 2020,2021, one portion of a property was moved from non-comparable properties to comparable properties and two portions of properties were moved from acquisitions to comparable properties. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, two portions of properties were moved from non-comparable properties to comparable properties, one property wasand two portions of properties were moved from acquisitions to comparable properties, and one portion of a property was removed from comparablenon-comparable properties, as it was sold, compared to the designations for the three months ended March 31, 2020, which were 97 properties or portionas of properties considered comparable and eight considered non-comparable. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, two properties and two portions of properties were moved from non-comparable properties to comparable properties, one property was moved from comparable properties to non-comparable properties, one property was moved from acquisitions to non-comparable properties, and one portion of a property was removed from comparable properties, as it was
sold, compared to the designations for the year ended December 31, 2019.2020. While there is judgment surrounding changes in designations, we typically move non-comparable properties to comparable properties once they have stabilized, which is typically considered 90% physical occupancy or when the growth expected from the redevelopment has been included in the comparable
periods. We typically remove properties from comparable properties when the repositioning 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 comparable 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 and investment.

Property Revenues
Total property revenue decreased $54.2increased $55.4 million, or 23.5%31.4%, to $231.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $176.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 20202020. The percentage occupied at our shopping centers was 89.6% at June 30, 2021 compared to $230.590.8% at June 30, 2020. The most significant driver of the increase in property revenues is the lifting of COVID-19 restrictions during the three months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020 when COVID-19 government imposed closures and restrictions were at their height. 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, and is net of collectibility related adjustments. Rental income increased $55.3 million, or 31.5%, to $230.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2019.2021 compared to $175.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2020 due primarily to the following:
•a $48.8 million decrease in collectibility related impacts including rent abatements across all properties primarily due to moving a large number of tenants from accrual basis to cash basis in the second quarter of 2020 and higher collection rates in the second quarter of 2021, as tenants begin to recover from the initial impacts of COVID-19,
•an increase of $4.1 million from non-comparable properties primarily driven by redevelopment related occupancy increases at two of our properties, the opening of Phase III at Assembly Row in 2021, and the opening of Freedom Plaza in 2020,
•an increase of $3.6 million from acquisitions (see Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information), and
•an increase of $1.9 million from comparable properties primarily related to higher net termination fees and legal fee income of $3.4 million, higher percentage rent, specialty leasing, and parking income of $2.4 million primarily due to the impacts of COVID-19 related closures and restrictions in 2020, partially offset by lower average occupancy of approximately $4.6 million,
partially offset by,
•a decrease of $3.3 million from 2020 property sales.
Property Expenses
Total property expenses increased $5.2 million, or 7.8%, to $72.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $67.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2020. Changes in the components of property expenses are discussed below.
Rental Expenses
Rental expenses increased $6.5 million, or 17.9%, to $42.9 million in the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $36.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2020. This increase is primarily due to the following:
•an increase of $6.4 million from comparable properties due primarily to higher repairs and maintenance costs and utilities, as 2020 had lower costs as a result of COVID-19 impacts,
•an increase of $1.3 million from non-comparable properties driven by the opening of the Phase III office building at Pike & Rose in 2020, Phase III at Assembly Row in 2021, and one of our redevelopments in late 2020, and
•an increase of $0.7 million from acquisitions,
partially offset by,
•a decrease of $1.0 million from 2020 property sales.
As a result of the changes in rental income and rental expenses as discussed above, rental expenses as a percentage of rental income decreased to 18.6% in the three months ended June 30, 2021 from 20.8% in the three months ended June 30, 2020.
Real Estate Taxes
Real estate tax expense decreased $1.3 million, or 4.2%, to $29.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $30.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 2020. This decrease is primarily due the following:
•a decrease of $1.1 million from comparable properties primarily due to a true-up of supplemental taxes at several of our California properties billed in 2020, and
•a decrease of $1.0 million from 2020 property sales,
partially offset by,
•an increase of $0.5 million from non-comparable properties due primarily to increases in assessments as a result of our redevelopment activities, and
•an increase of $0.4 million from acquisitions.
Property Operating Income
Property operating income increased $50.2 million, or 45.9%, to $159.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $109.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2020. This increase is primarily due to the lifting of COVID-19 restrictions, which resulted in lower collectibility related adjustments, higher percentage rent, specialty leasing, and parking
income compared to 2020. Also contributing to the increase were higher lease termination fees and legal fee income, 2021 acquisitions, redevelopment related occupancy increases at one of our properties, and the opening of Phase III at Assembly Row in 2021, partially offset by lower average occupancy from comparable properties, and 2020 property sales.
Other Operating
General and Administrative
General and administrative expense increased $3.0 million, or 30.9%, to $12.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2021
from $9.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2020. This increase is due primarily to higher personnel related
costs.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expense increased $4.9 million, or 7.8%, to $67.7 million in the three months ended June 30, 2021 from $62.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2020. This increase is due primarily to accelerated depreciation related to a vacating tenant, placing redevelopment properties into service, the acquisition of the previously unconsolidated Pike & Rose hotel joint venture in January 2021, and the opening of Phase III at Assembly Row and Pike & Rose, partially offset by 2020 property sales.
Gain on Sale of Real Estate and Change in Control of Interest
The $11.7 million gain on sale of real estate, net for the three months ended June 30, 2020 is due primarily to the sale of a building in Pasadena, California.
Operating Income
Operating income increased $30.6 million, or 63.3%, to $78.9 million in the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $48.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2020. This increase is primarily due to the lifting of COVID-19 restrictions, which resulted in lower collectibility related adjustments, higher percentage rent, specialty leasing, and parking income compared to 2020. Also contributing to the increases were higher termination fees and legal fee income, 2021 acquisitions, redevelopment related occupancy increases at one of our properties, and the opening of Phase III at Assembly Row in 2021, partially offset by lower average occupancy at comparable properties, the prior year gain related to the sale of a building in Pasadena, California, higher personnel related costs, and 2020 property sales.
Other
Interest Expense
Interest expense decreased $2.9 million, or 8.5%, to $31.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $34.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2020. This decrease is due primarily to the following:
•a decrease of $2.0 million from lower weighted average borrowings primarily from our revolving credit facility and the repayment of The Shops at Sunset Place mortgage loan in December 2020, partially offset by the May 2020 debt issuances in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, and
•an increase of $0.8 million in capitalized interest, primarily attributable to the development of Santana West and Phase III of Assembly Row.
Gross interest costs were $37.7 million and $39.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020, respectively. Capitalized interest was $6.5 million and $5.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020, respectively.
Income (loss) from partnerships
Income from partnerships increased $4.0 million, or 103.2%, to $0.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to a loss of $3.9 million in the three months ended June 30, 2020. This increase is due primarily to the acquisition of the previously unconsolidated Pike & Rose hotel joint venture in January 2021 and improved operating results at our restaurant joint ventures and at our Assembly Row hotel joint venture, largely the result of the easing of COVID-19 closures and restrictions.

This decrease is primarily due to the impacts of COVID-19, which resulted in higher collectibility related adjustments, lower percentage rent, and lower parking income, as well as a lower net gain on the sale of real estate compared to prior year,acquisitions, partially offset by lower rental expenses and general and administrative expenses due to the impact COVID-19, the opening of our new office building at Santana Row in early 2020, and property acquisitions.

Interest Expense
Interest expense increased $6.6 million, or 24.0%, to $34.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $27.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2019. This increase is due primarily to the following:
an increase of $5.7 million from higher borrowings in response to the COVID-19 pandemic (see further discussion in "Impacts of the COVID-19 Pandemic" earlier in Item 2 of this document), and
an increase of $3.3 million due to higher weighted average borrowings primarily from the $400 million issuance of our 3.20% notes in 2019, and $106.9 million of mortgage loans associated with our Hoboken acquisitions, partially offset by the repayment of our $275.0 million term loan in June 2019,
partially offset by,
a decrease of $1.4 million due to a lower overall weighted average borrowing rate, and
an increase of $1.0 million in capitalized interest, primarily attributable to the development of Phase III of Assembly Row and Pike & Rose.
Gross interest costs were $39.8 million and $32.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Capitalized interest was $5.7 million and $4.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
(Loss) income from partnerships
Loss from partnerships increased $4.3 million to $3.9 million in the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to income of $0.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2019. This decrease is primarily due to our share of losses from our hotel investments at Assembly Row and Pike & Rose, largely the result of COVID-19 closures and restrictions.

(1) | Property operating income is a non-GAAP measure that consists of rental 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 decreased $54.9 million, or 11.9%, to $407.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $462.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2019. The percentage occupied at our shopping centers was 90.8% at June 30, 2020 compared to 93.3% at June 30, 2019. The most significant driver of the decrease in property revenue is the impact of COVID-19, as some of our tenants were forced to temporarily or in some cases permanently close their businesses resulting in changes in our collectibility estimates and in some cases rent abatement. 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, and is net of collectibility related adjustments. Rental income decreased $54.9 million, or 11.9%, to $406.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $461.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2019 due primarily to the following:
higher collectibility related adjustments across all properties of $56.4 million primarily the result of COVID-19 impacts. This includes the write-off of $9.4 million of straight-line rent receivables primarily related to tenants who were changed to a cash basis of revenue recognition during the quarter ended June 30, 2020,
a decrease of $7.9 million from comparable properties due primarily to lower average occupancy, of approximately $6.4 million, lower lease termination fees and legal fees of $3.8 million, lower parking income and percentage rent of $2.4 million primarily due to the impacts from COVID-19 related closures, and lower recoveries of $1.8 million primarily the result of lowerhigher snow removal expense partially offset by higher rental rates of approximately $8.1 million, and
a decrease of $6.9 million from property sales,
partially offset by,
an increase of $10.5 million from acquisitions of Hoboken during the second half of 2019 and early 2020, Georgetowne Shopping Center in November 2019, and Fairfax Junction in January 2020, and
an increase of $5.8 million from nonat comparable properties, driven by the openingand property dispositions.

Total property expenses increased $1.8 million, or 1.3%, to $140.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $138.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2019. Changes in the components of property expenses are discussed below.
Rental Expenses
Rental expenses decreased $5.0 million, or 5.8%, to $80.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $85.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2019 due primarily to the following:
a decrease of $6.5 million from comparable properties due to lower snow removal expense, and lower repairs and maintenance and utilities primarily driven by the impact of COVID-19.
a decrease of $0.8 million from our property sales,
partially offset by,
a increase of $1.5 million from acquisitions of Hoboken during the second half of 2019 and early 2020, Georgetowne Shopping Center in November 2019, and Fairfax Junction in January 2020, and
an increase of $0.4 million from non-comparable properties due primarily to the opening of our new office building at Santana Row in early 2020.
As a result of the changes in rental income and rental expenses as discussed above, rental expenses as a percentage of rental income increased to 19.9% in the six months ended June 30, 2020 from 18.6% in the six months ended June 30, 2019.

Real estate tax expense increased $6.8 million, or 12.9%, to $59.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared
to $52.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2019. This increase is primarily due to the following:
an increase of $4.8 million from comparable properties primarily due to a 2019 tax refunds from a multi-year appeal and reassessment at three of our properties, and higher current year assessments,
an increase of $1.7 million from acquisitions of Hoboken during the second half of 2019 and early 2020, Georgetowne Shopping Center in November 2019, and Fairfax Junction in January 2020, and
an increase of $0.9 million from non-comparable properties due primarily to the opening of our new office building at Santana Row in early 2020,
partially offset by,
a decrease of $0.6 million from our property sales.
Property Operating Income
Property operating income decreased $56.7 million, or 17.5%, to $267.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $324.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2019. This decrease is primarily due to the impact of COVID-19, which resulted in higher collectibility related adjustments, lower percentage rent, and lower parking income, in addition to property sales, and lower lease termination fee income, partially offset by property acquisitions and the opening of our new office building at Santana Row in early 2020.

General and Administrative
General and administrative expense decreased $0.9increased $3.0 million, or 4.4%15.1%, to $23.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2021 from $20.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020 from $21.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2019.2020. This decreaseincrease is due primarily to COVID-19 impacts including office closures and cancellations of all non-essential business travel and company events, and lowerhigher personnel related costs.

This increase is due primarily to property acquisitionsaccelerated depreciation from a vacating tenant, placing redevelopment properties into service, the acquisition of the previously unconsolidated Pike & Rose hotel joint venture in January 2021, and the opening of our newthe Phase III office building at Santana Row in early 2020,Pike & Rose, partially offset by 2020 property sales.
Gain on Sale of Real Estate Netand Change in Control of Interest
The $17.4 million gain on sale of real estate, net of tax for the six months ended June 30, 2021 is due primarily to a $15.6 million gain related to the sale of a portion of Graham Park Plaza in Falls Church, Virginia and a $2.1 million gain relating to the acquisition of the previously unconsolidated Pike & Rose hotel joint venture (see Note 3 for additional disclosure).
The $11.7 million gain on sale of real estate, net of tax for the six months ended June 30, 2020 is due to the sale of a building in Pasadena, California.

•an increase of $6.3 million from higher borrowings in response to the COVID-19 pandemic (see further discussion in "Impacts of the COVID-19 Pandemic" earlier in Item 2 of this document), and
an increase of $5.4$5.0 million due to higher weighted average borrowings primarily from the $400.0 million issuance of our 3.20% notesMay 2020 debt issuances in 2019, and $106.9 million of mortgage loans associated with our Hoboken acquisitions,response to the COVID-19 pandemic, partially offset by no borrowings on our revolving credit facility in 2021, and the repayment of our $275.0 million termThe Shops at Sunset Place mortgage loan in June 2019,December 2020,

This decrease is due primarily to $1.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2019. This increase is primarily due to our shareacquisition of losses from our hotel investments at Assembly Row andthe previously unconsolidated Pike & Rose hotel joint venture in January 2021 and improved operating results at our restaurant joint ventures and at our Assembly Row hotel joint venture, largely the result of the easing of COVID-19 closures and restrictions.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Due to the nature of our business and strategy, we typically generate significant amounts of cash from operations which is largely paid to our common and preferred shareholders in the form of dividends because as a REIT, we are generally required to make annual distributions to shareholders of at least 90% of our taxable income.income (cash dividends paid in the six months ended June 30, 2021 were approximately $167.2 million). Remaining cash flow from operations after dividend payments is used to fund recurring and non-recurring capital projects (such as tenant improvements and redevelopments), and regular debt service requirements (including debt service relating to additional or replacement debt, as well as scheduled debt maturities). We maintain a $1.0 billion revolving credit facility to fund short term cash flow needs and also look to the public and private debt and equity markets, joint venture relationships, and property dispositions to fund capital expenditures on a long-term basis.
WeAlthough we are currentlyseeing improvements in cash collections during 2021, we are still experiencing lower levels of cash from operations due to lower rent collections from tenants impacted byand lower occupancy, both a result of the COVID-19 pandemic (see further discussion under the "Outlook" section of this Item 2). While the overall economic impacts of the pandemic are unknown, we have taken multiple steps during the last several months to strengthen our financial position, maximize liquidity, and to provide maximum flexibility during these uncertain times. In March 2020,times, including maintaining levels of cash significantly in excess of the cash balances we borrowed $990.0 million under our revolving credit facility, representing a draw-down of almosthave historically maintained.
During the entirety of our $1.0 billion credit facility. In May 2020, we entered into a $400.0 million unsecured term loan and issued $700.0 million of fixed rate unsecured senior notes for combined net proceeds of $1.1 billion. We subsequently repaid the outstanding balance on our revolving credit facility and amended how certain covenants are calculated to provide us more operating flexibility. As ofsix months ended June 30, 2020,2021, there iswere no outstanding balanceborrowings on our $1.0 billion unsecured revolving credit facility, and as of June 30, 2021, we havehad cash and cash equivalents of $980.0$304.3 million.
For the six months ended June 30, 2020, our weighted average borrowing rate on the revolving credit facility, before amortization We also had outstanding forward sales agreements for net proceeds of debt fees, was 1.5%. As$172.4 million as of June 30, 2020, we had2021, and the capacity to issue up to $128.3$359.7 million in common shares both under our ATM equity program.
OverOn April 16, 2021, we repaid $100.0 million of our existing $400.0 million term loan, amended the agreement on the remaining $300.0 million to lower the current spread over LIBOR from 135 basis points to 80 basis points based on our current credit rating, and extended the initial maturity date to April 16, 2024, along with two one-year extensions, at our option. Subsequently, over the next 12 months, we have $330.3$124.2 million of secured debt maturing, excluding our $400.0 million term loan, which may be extended for an additional twelve monthswe intend to pay off prior to the maturity date, at our option. Additionally, ourpar.
Our overall capital requirements for the remainder of 20202021 will depend uponcontinue to be impacted by the natureextent and duration of government mandatedCOVID-19 related closures, impacts on our cash collections, and restrictionsoverall economic impacts that might occur. Cash requirements will also be impacted by acquisition opportunities and the overall economic impact of COVD-19, as well aslevel and general timing of our redevelopment and development activities. DuringWhile the second quarter 2020,amount of future expenditures will depend on numerous factors, we experienced lower levels of capital investment as the result of COVID-19 related closures. However, we were able to restart all construction related activities during the quarter and consequently expect to see higher levels of investment duringcapital investments in our properties under development and redevelopment, as we continue to invest in the remaindercurrent phase of the year, absent further requirementsthese projects and are not expecting COVID-19 related halts in construction activities similar to halt construction activities.those experienced in 2020. With respect to other capital investments related to our existing properties, we expect to incur levels more consistent with prior years with an overall increase compared to 2020.
We believe that the cash on our balance sheet together with rents we collect, as well as our $1.0 billion revolving credit facility will allow us to continue to operate our business inthrough the near-term.remainder of the COVID-19 pandemic. Given our recent ability to access the capital markets, we also expect debt or equity to be available to us. We may also furtherhave the ability to delay the timing of certain development and redevelopment projects as well as limit future acquisitions, as well as limit future acquisitions, reduce our operating expenditures, or re-evaluate our dividend policy. We continue to monitor governmental financial assistance programs being made available to address

While the COVID-19 pandemic, it has negatively impactedcontinued to affect our overall business during the quarter ended June 30, 20202021, and we expect it will continue to negatively impact our business in the short term, weterm. We maintain our long term commitment to 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.

Our revolving credit facility and other debt agreements include financial and other covenants that may limit our operating activities in the future. As of June 30, 2020,2021, 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, 2020, 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 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.
Interest rate swaps associated with cash flow hedges are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Effectiveness of cash flow hedges is assessed both at inception and on an ongoing basis. The effective portion of changes in fair value of the interest rate swaps associated with cash flow hedges is recorded in other comprehensive loss which is included in "accumulated other comprehensive loss" on the balance sheet and statement of shareholders' equity. 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. If a cash flow hedge is deemed ineffective, the ineffective portion of changes in fair value of the interest rate swaps associated with cash flow hedges is recognized in earnings in the period affected.
As of June 30, 2020,2021, we have two interest rate swap agreements that effectively fix the rate on a mortgage payable associated with our Hoboken portfolio at 3.67%. Our Assembly Row hotel joint venture is also a party to two interest rate swap
agreements that effectively fix their debt at 5.206%. All swaps were designated and qualify as cash flow hedges. Hedge ineffectiveness has not impacted earnings as of June 30, 2020.
2021.
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 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 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. 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:

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.
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) 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, 2020,2021, we had $4.1$3.9 billion of fixed-rate debt outstanding, including $56.5 million of mortgage payables for which the rate is effectively fixed by two interest rate swap agreements. If market interest rates used to calculate the fair value on our fixed-rate debt instruments at June 30, 20202021 had been 1.0% higher, the fair value of those debt instruments on that date would have decreased by approximately $278.5$273.9 million. If market interest rates used to calculate the fair value on our fixed-rate debt instruments at June 30, 20202021 had been 1.0% lower, the fair value of those debt instruments on that date would have increased by approximately $317.5$305.0 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 June 30, 2020,2021, we had $400.0$300.0 million of variable rate debt outstanding (the principal balance on our unsecured term loan). 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 approximately $4.0$3.0 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 $4.0$3.0 million with a corresponding increase in our net income and cash flows for the year.

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, 2019.2020.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
This Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. When we refer to forward-looking statements or information, sometimes we use words such as “may,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “plans,” “intends,” “expects,” “believes,” “estimates,” “anticipates” and “continues.” While we attempt to identify, manage and mitigate risks and uncertainties associated with our businessThere have been no material changes to the extent practical under the circumstances, some level of risk and uncertainty will always be present. . “Item 1A. Risk Factors” offactors previously disclosed in our Annual Report to our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20192020 filed with the SEC on February 10, 2020 describes some11, 2021. 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 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,
◦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 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;
•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; and
•risks and uncertainties associated with our business. These risks and uncertainties have the potentialrelated to materially affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, cash flows, projected results and future prospects. Except for the risk factor discussed below, we do not believe that there have been any material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our 2019 Annual Report.
Naturalnatural disasters, climate change and public health crises including(such as the COVID-19 pandemic, could have an adverse impact on our cash flowoutbreak and operating results.
Climate changeworldwide spread of COVID-19), and the measures that international, federal, state and local governments, agencies, law enforcement and/or health authorities implement to address them, may add toprecipitate or materially exacerbate one or more of the unpredictabilityabove-mentioned risks, and frequency of natural disasters and severe weather conditions and create additional uncertainty as to future trends and exposures. Certain of our operations are located in areas that are subject to natural disasters and severe weather conditions such as hurricanes, earthquakes, droughts, snow storms, floods and fires. The impact of climate changemay significantly disrupt or the occurrence of natural disasters can delay new development projects, increase investment costs to repair or replace damaged properties, increaseprevent us from operating costs, create additional investment costs to make improvements to existing properties to comply with climate change regulations, increase future property insurance costs, and negatively impact the tenant demand for space. If insurance is unavailable to us or is unavailable on acceptable terms, or if our insurance is not adequate to cover business interruption or losses from these events, our earnings, liquidity or capital resources could be adversely affected.
In addition, our business is subject to risks related toin the effects of public health crises, epidemics and pandemics, including the COVID-19 pandemic. Such events could inhibit global, national and local economic activity; adversely affect trading activity in securities markets, which could negatively impact the trading prices of our common shares and debt securities and our ability to access the securities markets as a source of liquidity; adversely affect our tenants’ financial condition by limiting foot traffic and staffing at their businesses, which could affect their ability to pay rent and willingness to make new leasing commitments; reduce our cash flow, which could impact our ability to pay dividends or to service our debt; temporarily or permanently reduce the demandordinary course for retail or office space; interfere with our business operations by requiring our personnel to work remotely; increase the frequency of cyber-attacks; disrupt supply chains that could be important in our development and redevelopment activities; interfere with potential purchases and sales of properties; and have other direct and indirect effects that are difficult to predict. Such risks depend upon the nature and severity of the public health concern, as well as the extent and duration of government-mandated orders and personal decisions to limit travel, economic activity and personal interaction, none of which can be predicted with confidence. In particular, we cannot predict the duration of stay-at-home and other government orders instituted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, which vary by jurisdiction, or the pandemics' short and long term economic effects, each of which could have a material adverse effect on our business.an extended period.
