EXPLANATORY NOTE
This report combines the unaudited quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 20212022 of Tanger Factory Outlet Centers, Inc. and Tanger Properties Limited Partnership. Unless the context indicates otherwise, the term “Company” refers to Tanger Factory Outlet Centers, Inc. and subsidiaries and the term “Operating Partnership” refers to Tanger Properties Limited Partnership and subsidiaries. The terms “we”, “our” and “us” refer to the Company or the Company and the Operating Partnership together, as the text requires.

Tanger Factory Outlet Centers, Inc. and subsidiaries is one of the largest owners and operators of outlet centers in the United States and Canada. The Company is a fully-integrated, self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust (“REIT”), which, through its controlling interest in the Operating Partnership, focuses exclusively on developing, acquiring, owning, operating and managing outlet shopping centers. The outlet centers and other assets are held by, and all of the operations are conducted by, the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries.Partnership. Accordingly, the descriptions of the business, employees and properties of the Company are also descriptions of the business, employees and properties of the Operating Partnership. As the Operating Partnership is the issuer of our registered debt securities, we are required to present a separate set of financial statements for this entity.

The Company, including its wholly-owned subsidiary, Tanger LP Trust, owns the majority of the units of partnership interest issued by the Operating Partnership through its two wholly-owned subsidiaries, Tanger GP Trust and Tanger LP Trust. Tanger GP TrustPartnership. The Company controls the Operating Partnership as its sole general partner. Tanger LP Trust holds a limited partnership interest. As of September 30, 2021,2022, the Company throughand its ownership of Tanger GP Trust and Tanger LP Trust,wholly owned 103,984,234subsidiaries owned 104,346,428 units of the Operating Partnership and other limited partners (the “Non-Company LPs”) collectively owned 4,794,6434,761,559 Class A common limited partnership units. Each Class A common limited partnership unit held by the Non-Company LPs is exchangeable for one of the Company’s common shares, subject to certain limitations to preserve the Company’s status as a REIT. Class B common limited partnership units, which are held by Tanger LP Trust, are not exchangeable for common shares of the Company.

Management operates the Company and the Operating Partnership as one enterprise. The management of the Company consists of the same members as the management of the Operating Partnership. These individuals are officers of the Company and employees of the Operating Partnership. The individuals that comprise the Company’s Board of Directors are also the same individuals that make up Tanger GP Trust’s Board of Trustees.

We believe combining the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q of the Company and the Operating Partnership into this single report results in the following benefits:

enhancing investors’ understanding of the Company and the Operating Partnership by enabling investors to view the business as a whole in the same manner as management views and operates the business;

eliminating duplicative disclosure and providing a more streamlined and readable presentation since a substantial portion of the disclosure applies to both the Company and the Operating Partnership; and

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

There are only a few differences between the Company and the Operating Partnership, which are reflected in the disclosure in this report. We believe it is important, however, to understand these differences between the Company and the Operating Partnership in the context of how the Company and the Operating Partnership operate as an interrelated consolidated company.

As stated above, the Company is a REIT, whose only material asset is its ownership of partnership interests of the Operating Partnership, including through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, the Tanger GP Trust andsubsidiary, Tanger LP Trust. As a result, the Company does not conduct business itself, other than issuing public equity from time to time and incurring expenses required to operate as a public company. However, all operating expenses incurred by the Company are reimbursed by the Operating Partnership, thus the only material item on the Company’s income statement is its equity in the earnings of the Operating Partnership. Therefore, the assets and liabilities and the revenues and expenses of the Company and the Operating Partnership are the same on their respective financial statements, except for immaterial differences related to cash, other assets and accrued liabilities that arise from public company expenses paid by the Company. The Company itself does not hold any indebtedness but does guarantee certain debt of the Operating Partnership, as disclosed in this report.
2


The Operating Partnership holds all of the outlet centers and other assets, including the ownership interests in consolidated and unconsolidated joint ventures. The Operating Partnership conducts the operations of the business and is structured as a partnership with no publicly traded equity. Except for net proceeds from public equity issuances by the Company, which are contributed to the Operating Partnership in exchange for partnership units, the Operating Partnership generates the capital required through its operations, its incurrence of indebtedness or through the issuance of partnership units.

Noncontrolling interests, shareholders’ equity and partners’ capital are the main areas of difference between the consolidated financial statements of the Company and those of the Operating Partnership. The limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership held by the Non-Company LPs are accounted for as partners’ capital in the Operating Partnership’s financial statements and as noncontrolling interests in the Company’s financial statements.

To help investors understand the significant differences between the Company and the Operating Partnership, this report presents the following separate sections, as applicable, for each of the Company and the Operating Partnership:

Consolidated financial statements;

The following notes to the consolidated financial statements:

Debt of the Company and the Operating Partnership;

Shareholders’ Equity if applicable, and Partners’ Equity;

Earnings Per Share and Earnings Per Unit;

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income of the Company and the Operating Partnership; and

Liquidity and Capital Resources in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

This report also includes separate Item 4. Controls and Procedures sections and separate Exhibit 31 and 32 certifications for each of the Company and the Operating Partnership in order to establish that the ChiefPrincipal Executive Officer and the ChiefPrincipal Financial Officer of each entity have made the requisite certifications and that the Company and Operating Partnership are compliant with Rule 13a-15 or Rule 15d-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and 18 U.S.C. §1350.

The separate sections in this report for the Company and the Operating Partnership specifically refer to the Company and the Operating Partnership. In the sections that combine disclosure of the Company and the Operating Partnership, this report refers to actions or holdings as being actions or holdings of the Company. Although the Operating Partnership is generally the entity that enters into contracts and joint ventures and holds assets and debt, reference to the Company is appropriate because the business is one enterprise and the Company operates the business through the Operating Partnership.

The Company currently consolidates the Operating Partnership because it has (1) the power to direct the activities of the Operating Partnership that most significantly impact the Operating Partnership’s economic performance and (2) the obligation to absorb losses and the right to receive the residual returns of the Operating Partnership that could be potentially significant. The separate discussions of the Company and the Operating Partnership in this report should be read in conjunction with each other to understand the results of the Company on a consolidated basis and how management operates the Company.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared pursuant to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of the Company’s and the Operating Partnership’s combined Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.2021. The December 31, 20202021 balance sheet data in this Form 10-Q was derived from audited financial statements. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of AmericaU.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the SEC’s rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), although management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements for the interim periods have been made. The results of interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year.

In accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 205, Presentation of Financial Statements, certain prior year balances in the accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows have been reclassified in order to conform to the current period presentation. Specifically, for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the uncollectible rental revenue allowance of $26.6 million has been presented as a component of “other assets” rather than the previous presentation where it was included as a single line item, “Uncollectible rental revenue allowance” within “net cash provided by operating activities.” There has been no change to “net cash provided by operating activities” for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 as a result of this reclassification.

17


The Company currently consolidates the Operating Partnership because it has (1) the power to direct the activities of the Operating Partnership that most significantly impact the Operating Partnership’s economic performance and (2) the obligation to absorb losses and the right to receive the residual returns of the Operating Partnership that could be potentially significant.


17


We consolidate properties that are wholly-owned and properties where we own less than 100% but control such properties. Control is determined using an evaluation based on accounting standards related to the consolidation of voting interest entities and variable interest entities (“VIE”). For joint ventures that are determined to be a VIE, we consolidate the entity where we are deemed to be the primary beneficiary. Determination of the primary beneficiary is based on whether an entity has (1) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance, and (2) the obligation to absorb losses of the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE. Our determination of the primary beneficiary considers all relationships between us and the VIE, including management agreements and other contractual arrangements.

Investments in real estate joint ventures that we do not control but may exercise significant influence on are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. These investments are recorded initially at cost and subsequently adjusted for our equity in the joint venture’s net income or loss, cash contributions, distributions and other adjustments required under the equity method of accounting.

For certain investments in real estate joint ventures, we record our equity in the venture’s net income or loss under the hypothetical liquidation at book value method of accounting due to the structures and the preferences we receive on the distributions from our joint ventures pursuant to the respective joint venture agreements for those joint ventures. Under this method, we recognize income and loss in each period based on the change in liquidation proceeds we would receive from a hypothetical liquidation of our investment based on depreciated book value. Therefore, income or loss may be allocated disproportionately as compared to the ownership percentages due to specified preferred return rate thresholds and may be more or less than actual cash distributions received and more or less than what we may receive in the event of an actual liquidation.

We separately report investments in joint ventures for which accumulated distributions have exceeded investments in, and our share of net income or loss of, the joint ventures within other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets because we are committed to provide further financial support to these joint ventures. The carrying amount of our investments in the Charlotte, Columbus, Galveston/Houston, and National Harbor joint ventures are less than zero because of financing or operating distributions that were greater than net income, as net income includes non-cash charges for depreciation and amortization.

“Noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership” reflects the Non-Company LP’sLPs’ percentage ownership of the Operating Partnership’s units. “Noncontrolling interests in other consolidated partnerships” consist of outside equity interests in partnerships or joint ventures not wholly-owned by the Company or the Operating Partnership that are consolidated with the financial results of the Company and Operating Partnership because the Operating Partnership exercises control over the entities that own the properties. Noncontrolling interests are initially recorded in the consolidated balance sheets at fair value based upon purchase price allocations. Income is allocated to the noncontrolling interests based on the allocation provisions within the partnership or joint venture agreements.

COVID-19 pandemic

The current novel COVID-19 pandemic (“COVID-19”) has had, and will continue to have, repercussions across local, national and global economies and financial markets. COVID-19 has impacted all states where our tenants operate their businesses or where our properties are located and measures taken to prevent or remediate COVID-19, including “shelter-in place” or “stay-at-home” orders or other quarantine mandates issued by local, state or federal authorities, have had an adverse effect on our business and the businesses of our tenants. The full extent of the adverse impact on, among other things, our results of operations, liquidity (including our ability to access capital markets), the possibility of future impairments of long-lived assets or our investments in unconsolidated joint ventures, our compliance with debt covenants, our ability to collect rent under our existing leases, our ability to renew and re-lease our leased space, the outlook for the retail environment, bankruptcies and potential further bankruptcies or other store closings and our ability to develop, acquire, dispose or lease properties for our portfolio, is unknown and will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. Our results of operations, liquidity and cash flows have been and may continue to be in the future materially affected.
18


Accounts Receivable

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, a number of our tenants requested rent deferrals, rent abatements or other types of rent relief during this pandemic. As a response, in late March 2020, we offered all tenants in our consolidated portfolio the option to defer 100% of April and May rents interest free, payable in equal installments due in January and February of 2021.

Historically, our accounts receivable from tenants has not been material; however, given the impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic discussed above, our net accounts receivable balance, which is recorded in prepaids and other assets on the consolidated balance sheet, had increased to approximately $18.8 million at December 31, 2020, but decreased to approximately $6.5 million at September 30, 2021, primarily due to collections of deferred April and May 2020 rents during the first nine months of 2021. Straight-line rent adjustments recorded as a receivable in prepaids and other assets on the consolidated balance sheets was approximately $54.1 million as of September 30, 2021.

During the three months ended September 30, 2020, we wrote off $5.2 million of third quarter rents billed, related to tenant bankruptcies, other uncollectible accounts due to financial weakness and one-time concessions in exchange for landlord-favorable amendments to lease structure. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we wrote off approximately $28.6 million of second and third quarter rents, related to bankruptcies, other uncollectible accounts due to financial weakness and one-time concessions in exchange for landlord-favorable amendments to lease structure. In addition, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, we recorded a $2.2 million and $11.8 million reserve, respectively, for a portion of deferred and under negotiation billings that were expected to become uncollectible in future periods. Further, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 we recognized a write-off of revenue of approximately $2.4 million and $6.1 million of straight-line rents, respectively, associated with the tenant bankruptcies and uncollectible accounts.

Individual leases are assessed for collectability and upon the determination that the collection of rents is not probable, accrued rent and accounts receivable are written-off as an adjustment to rental revenue. Revenue from leases where collection is deemed to be less than probable is recorded on a cash basis until collectability is determined to be probable. Further we assess whether operating lease receivables, at a portfolio level, are appropriately valued based upon an analysis of balances outstanding, historical bad debt levels and current economic trends including discussions with tenants for potential lease amendments. Our estimate of the collectability of accrued rents and accounts receivable is based on the best information available to us at the time of preparing the financial statements. Straight-line rent adjustments recorded as a receivable in prepaids and other assets on the consolidated balance sheets was approximately $51.8 million as of September 30, 2022.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Rental property held and used by us is reviewed for impairment in the event that facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. In such an event, we compare the estimated future undiscounted cash flows associated with the asset to the asset's carrying amount, and if less, recognize an impairment loss in an amount by which the carrying amount exceeds its fair value.

During the first quarter and fourth quarter of 2020, we recorded $45.7 million and $19.2 million in impairment charges, respectively, related to our Foxwoods outlet center in our consolidated statement of operations which equaled the excess of the carrying value over its estimated fair value.
18


If the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic cause economic and market conditions to deteriorate beyond our current expectations, as a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic (“COVID-19”) or other macroeconomic factors, or if our expected holding periods for assets change, subsequent tests for impairment could result in additional impairment charges in the future. For example, the Foxwoods propertyoutlet center, which is part of a casino property, and continues to face leasing challenges whichthat could lead to further declines in occupancy, rental revenues and cash flows in the future. Such challenges, or a change in our expected holding period, could result in additional impairment charges recognized for the Foxwoods property. We can provide no assurance that material impairment charges with respect to our properties will not occur during the remainder of 2021 orin future periods.

Our investments in real estate joint ventures are reduced by the percentage of the profits earned for leasing and development services associated with our ownership interest in each joint venture. Our carrying value of investments in unconsolidated joint ventures differs from our share of the assets reported in the “Summary“Condensed Combined Balance Sheets - Unconsolidated Joint Ventures” shown below due to adjustments to the book basis, including intercompany profits on sales of services that are capitalized by the unconsolidated joint ventures. The differences in basis (totaling $3.4$3.3 million and $3.6$3.4 million as of September 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, respectively) are amortized over the various useful lives of the related assets.

In February 2021,September 2022, the Galveston/HoustonColumbus joint venture amendedcompleted the refinance of its mortgagemortgage. The new $71.0 million non-recourse loan to extend thehas a maturity to July 2023, which requireddate of October 2032 and a reduction in principal balance from $80.0 million to $64.5 million. The amendment also changed thefixed interest rate from LIBOR + 1.65% to LIBOR + 1.85%of 6.25%. We are providing property management, marketing and leasing services to the outlet center.

RioCan Canada

In March 2021, the RioCan joint venture closed on the sale of its outlet center in Saint-Sauveur, for net proceeds of approximately $9.4 million. Our share of the proceeds was approximately $4.7 million. As a result of this transaction, we recorded a loss on the sale of $3.7 million. This includes a $3.6 million charge related to the foreign currency effect of the sale recorded in other income (expense), which had been previously recorded in other comprehensive income.

During June 2020, the Rio-Can joint venture recognized an impairment charge related to its Saint-Sauveur property in Quebec. The impairment charge was primarily driven by deterioration of net operating income caused by market competition and the COVID-19 pandemic.

The interest rate remains LIBOR + 1.80%. The outlet center is consolidated for financial reporting purposes and we funded the entire $11.3 million.

Certain of our properties, which had a net book value of approximately $155.2$143.2 million at September 30, 2021,2022, serve as collateral for mortgages payable. As of September 30, 2021,2022, we maintained unsecured lines of credit that provided for borrowings of up to $520.0 million. The unsecured lines of credit as of September 30, 20212022 included a $20.0 million liquidity line and a $500.0 million syndicated line. As of September 30, 2021 and following the July 2021 amendments discussed below, theThe syndicated line may be increased up to $1.2 billion through an accordion feature in certain circumstances.

We provide guarantees to lenders for our joint ventures, which include standard non-recourse carve out indemnifications for losses arising from items such as but not limited to fraud, physical waste, payment of taxes, environmental indemnities, misapplication of insurance proceeds or security deposits and failure to maintain required insurance. For construction and term loans, we may include a guaranty of completion as well as a principal guaranty ranging from 5%0% to 100%15.5% of principal. The principal guarantees include terms for release or reduction based upon satisfactory completion of construction and performance targets including occupancy thresholds and minimum debt service coverage tests. As of September 30, 2021,2022, the maximum amount of unconsolidated joint venture debt guaranteed by the Company was $21.9$10.0 million.

The unsecured lines of credit and senior unsecured notes include covenants that require the maintenance of certain ratios, including debt service coverage and leverage, and limit the payment of dividends such that dividends and distributions will not exceed funds from operations, as defined in the agreements, for the prior fiscal year on an annual basis or 95% of funds from operations on a cumulative basis. As of September 30, 2021,2022, we believe we were in compliance with all of our debt covenants.

Unsecured term loan

In March 2021 and June 2021, we paid down a total of $50.0 million of borrowings under our $350.0 million unsecured term loan with cash on hand, reducing the outstanding balance to $300.0 million as of September 30, 2021.

Unsecured Lines of Credit Extension

In July 2021, we amended our unsecured lines of credit and extended the maturity date from October 2021 to July 2025, which may be extended by an additional year by exercising 2 six-month extension options. The amendment eliminated the LIBOR floor, which was previously 0.25%, and entitles us to a 1 basis point annual reduction in the interest rate if we meet certain sustainability thresholds. Other pricing terms remained the same. The lines provide for borrowings of up to $520.0 million, including a $20.0 million liquidity line and a $500.0 million syndicated line. A 0.25% facility fee is due annually on the entire committed amount of each facility. In certain circumstances, total line capacity may be increased to $1.2 billion through an accordion feature in the syndicated line.

Redemption of the 2023 and 2024 Senior Notes and public offering of aggregate $400.0 Million Unsecured Senior Notes due 2031

In April 2021, we completed a partial redemption of $150.0 million aggregate principal amount of our $250.0 million 3.875% senior notes due December 2023, for $163.0 million in cash, which included a make-whole premium of $13.0 million and the write off of approximately $1.0 million of debt discount and debt origination costs. The make-whole premium and the write off of debt discount and debt origination costs was recorded as a loss on early extinguishment of debt within the consolidated statements of operations. Subsequent to this redemption, $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Notes remained outstanding, until the redemption in August 2021, described below.

In August 2021, we completed a public offering of $400.0 million in senior notes due 2031. The notes were priced at 98.552% of the principal amount to yield 2.917% to maturity. The notes pay interest semi-annually at a rate of 2.750% per annum and mature on September 1, 2031. The aggregate net proceeds from the offering, after deducting the underwriting discount and offering expenses, were approximately $390.7 million. We used the net proceeds from the sale of the notes to redeem all remaining 3.875% senior notes due 2023, $100.0 million in aggregate principal amount outstanding, and all 3.750% senior notes due 2024, $250.0 million in aggregate principal outstanding. The redemptions occurred in September 2021 and included a make-whole premium of $31.9 million and the write off of approximately $1.9 million of debt discount and debt origination costs. The remaining proceeds were used for general corporate purposes.

Given the financial implications of the COVID-19 pandemic, weWe have considered our short-term (one year or less from the date of filing these financial statements) liquidity needs and the adequacy of our estimated cash flows from operating activities and other financing sources to meet these needs. These other sources include but are not limited to: existing cash, ongoing relationships with certain financial institutions, our ability to sell debt or issue equity subject to market conditions and proceeds from the potential sale of non-core assets. We believe that we have access to the necessary financing to fund our short-term liquidity needs.

8.9. Fair Value Measurements

Fair value guidance establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers are defined as follows:
TierDescription
Level 1Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets
Level 2Inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable
Level 3Unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions

Fair Value Measurements on a Recurring Basis

Short-term government securities

Short-term government securities and our certificate of deposit are highly liquid investments, which are classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using quoted market prices in an active market.

26



Interest rate swaps

Fair values of interest rate swaps are estimated using Level 2 inputs based on current market data received from financial sources that trade such instruments and are based on prevailing market data and derived from third party proprietary models based on well recognized financial principles including counterparty risks, credit spreads and interest rate projections, as well as reasonable estimates about relevant future market conditions.

Fair Value Measurements on a Nonrecurring Basis

During the first quarter 2020, we recorded a $45.7 million impairment charge in our consolidated statement of operations which equaled the excess of the carrying value of our Foxwoods outlet center over its estimated fair value. In the fourth quarter of 2020, we recorded an additional impairment of $19.2 million. The estimated fair value was based on the income approach. The income approach involves discounting the estimated income stream and reversion (presumed sale) value of a property over an estimated holding period to a present value at a risk-adjusted rate. Discount rates and terminal capitalization rates utilized in this approach were derived from property-specific information, market transactions and other financial and industry data. The terminal capitalization rate and discount rate are significant unobservable inputs in determining the fair value. The terminal capitalization rate used in the calculation was 7.8% and the discount rate used was 8.5%. These inputs are classified under Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy above. Should the significant assumptions utilized above to determine fair value continue to deteriorate, additional impairments in the future could be possible. 

Other Fair Value Disclosures

Our senior unsecured notes are publicly-traded which provides quoted market rates. However, due to the limited trading volume of these notes, we have classified these instruments as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Our other debt is classified as Level 3 given the unobservable inputs utilized in the valuation. Our unsecured term loan, unsecured lines of credit and variable interest rate mortgages are all LIBOR based instruments. When selecting the discount rates for purposes of estimating the fair value of these instruments, we evaluated the original credit spreads and do not believe that the use of them differs materially from current credit spreads for similar instruments and therefore the recorded values of these debt instruments is considered their fair value.

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other assets and liabilities are reasonable estimates of their fair values because of the short maturities of these instruments.

10. Shareholders’ Equity of the Company

Dividend Declaration

In September 2021,July 2022, the Company's Board of Directors declared a quarterly$0.20 cash dividend of $0.1825 per common share payable on NovemberAugust 15, 20212022 to each shareholder of record on OctoberJuly 29, 2021,2022, and in its capacity as General Partner of the Trustees of Tanger GP Trust declaredOperating Partnership, a $0.1825$0.20 cash distribution per Operating Partnership unit to the Operating Partnership's unitholders. As a result of the declaration, a liability in the amount of approximately $19.9 million was recorded in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2021.



At-the-Market Offering

Under our at-the-market share offering program (“ATM Offering”), which commenced February 2021, we may offer and sell our common shares, $0.01 par value per share, (“Common Shares”), having an aggregate gross sales price of up to $250.0 million (the “Shares”). We may sell the Shares in amounts and at times to be determined by us but we have no obligation to sell any of the Shares. Actual sales, if any, will depend on a variety of factors to be determined by us from time to time, including, among other things, market conditions, the trading price of the Common Shares,common shares, capital needs and determinations by us of the appropriate sources of funding. We currently intend to use the net proceeds from the sale of shares pursuant to the ATM Offering for working capital and general corporate purposes. As of September 30, 2022, we had approximately $60.1 million remaining available for sale under the ATM Offering program.

Share Repurchase Program

In May 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $80.0 million of the Company’s outstanding shares through May 31, 2023. This authorization replaced a previous repurchase authorization for approximately $80.0 million that expired in May 2021. In June 2020, we amended our debt agreements primarily to improve future covenant flexibility and such amendments included a prohibition on share repurchases for twelve months starting July 1, 2020 (the “Repurchase Covenant”). The Company temporarily suspended share repurchases for the twelve months starting July 1, 2020 and ending on June 30, 2021 in light of a repurchase covenant. On July 1, 2021, a covenant in the Company’s debt agreements (the “repurchase covenant”) prohibiting share repurchasesRepurchase Covenant expired.

Repurchases may be made from time to time through open market, privately-negotiated, structured or derivative transactions (including accelerated share repurchase transactions), or other methods of acquiring shares. The Company intends to structure open market purchases to occur within pricing and volume requirements of Rule 10b-18. The Company may, from time to time, enter into Rule 10b5-1 plans to facilitate the repurchase of its shares under this authorization. The Company did not repurchase any shares for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 20212022 and 2020.2021. The remaining amount authorized to be repurchased under the program as of September 30, 20212022 was approximately $80.0 million.

10.11. Partners’ Equity of the Operating Partnership

All units of partnership interest issued by the Operating Partnership have equal rights with respect to earnings, dividends and net assets. When the Company issues common shares upon the exercise of options, the grant of restricted common share awards, or the exchange of Class A common limited partnership units, the Operating Partnership issues a corresponding Class B common limited partnership unit to Tanger LP Trust, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Likewise, when the Company repurchases its outstanding common shares, the Operating Partnership repurchases a corresponding Class B common limited partnership unit held by Tanger LP Trust.

We determine diluted earnings per share based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding combined with the incremental weighted average shares that would have been outstanding assuming all potentially dilutive securities were converted into common shares at the earliest date possible. There were no material securities which had a dilutive effect on earnings per common share for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020.

Notional units granted under our equity compensation plan are considered contingently issuable common shares and are included in earnings per share if the effect is dilutive using the treasury stock method and the common shares would be issuable if the end of the reporting period were the end of the contingency period. For both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021,2022, approximately 1.8 million601,000 notional units were excluded from the computation and for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020,2021, approximately 1.71.8 million notional units were excluded from the computation because these notional units either would not have been issuable if the end of the reporting period were the end of the contingency period or as they were anti-dilutive.

With respect to outstanding options, the effect of dilutive common shares is determined using the treasury stock method, whereby outstanding options are assumed exercised at the beginning of the reporting period and the exercise proceeds from such options and the average measured but unrecognized compensation cost during the period are assumed to be used to repurchase our common shares at the average market price during the period. For both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021,2022, approximately 1.6 million274,000 options were excluded from the computation as they were anti-dilutive. Forand for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020,2021, approximately 1.81.6 million options were excluded from the computation, as they were anti-dilutive.

The assumed exchange of the partnership units held by the Non-Company LPs as of the beginning of the year, which would result in the elimination of earnings allocated to the noncontrolling interest in the Operating Partnership, would have no impact on earnings per share since the allocation of earnings to a common limited partnership unit, as if exchanged, is equivalent to earnings allocated to a common share.


31


Certain of the Company’s unvested restricted common share awards contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents. The impact of these unvested restricted common share awards on earnings per share has been calculated using the two-class method whereby earnings are allocated to the unvested restricted common share awards based on dividends declared and the unvested restricted common shares’ participation rights in undistributed earnings. Unvested restricted common shares that do not contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents are included in the diluted earnings per share computation if the effect is dilutive, using the treasury stock method.

14. Equity-Based Compensation of the Company

We have a shareholder approved equity-based compensation plan, the Incentive Award Plan of Tanger Factory Outlet Centers, Inc. and Tanger Properties Limited Partnership (as amended and restated on April 4, 2014), as amended (the “Plan”), which covers our non-employee directors, officers, employees and consultants. Per the Operating Partnership agreement, when a common share is issued by the Company, the Operating Partnership issues one corresponding unit of partnership interest to the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries.subsidiary, the Tanger LP Trust. Therefore, when the Company grants an equity-based award, the Operating Partnership treats each award as having been granted by the Operating Partnership. In the discussion below, the term “we” refers to the Company and the Operating Partnership together and the term “shares” is meant to also include corresponding units of the Operating Partnership.

Restricted Common Share and Restricted Share Unit Awards

During February 2021,2022, the Company granted approximately 385,000383,000 restricted common shares and restricted share units to the Company’s non-employee directors and the Company’s senior executive officers. The grant date fair value of the awards was $14.60$16.62 per share. The restricted common shares vest ratably over a three year period on January 4th of each year for non-employee directors and on February 15th of each year for senior executive officers. Compensation expense related to the amortization of the deferred compensation is being recognized in accordance with the vesting schedule of the restricted shares.

Also in August 2021, the Company granted approximately 23,000 restricted common shares and restricted share units to the recently hired senior executive officers. The grant date fair value of the awards was $17.09 per share. The restricted common shares vest ratably over a three year period on February 15th of each year for the recently hired senior executive officers.


33


For certain shares that vest during the period, we withhold shares with value equivalent up to the employees’ maximum statutory obligation for the applicable income and other employment taxes, and remit cash to the appropriate taxing authorities. The total number of shares withheld upon vesting were approximately 121,000229,700 and 57,000121,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 20212022 and 2020,2021, respectively. The total number of shares withheld was based on the value of the restricted common shares on the vesting date as determined by our closing share price on the day prior to the vesting date. Total amounts paid for the employees’ tax obligation to taxing authorities were $1.8$3.7 million and $736,000$1.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 20212022 and 2020,2021, respectively. These amounts are reflected as financing activities within the consolidated statements of cash flows.

20212022 Performance Share Plan

During February 2021,2022, the Compensation Committee of the Company approved the general terms of the Tanger Factory Outlet Centers, Inc. 20212022 Performance Share Plan (the “2021“2022 PSP”) covering the Company's senior executive officers whereby a maximum of approximately 642,000555,000 restricted common shares may be earned if certain share price appreciation goals are achieved over a three year measurement period. In August of 2021, additional awards under the 2021 PSP were granted to recently hired senior executive officers whereby a maximum of approximately 26,000 restricted common shares may be earned.
32


The 20212022 PSP is a long-term incentive compensation plan. Recipients may earn units which may convert into restricted common shares of the Company based on the Company’s absolute share price appreciation (or absolute total shareholder return) and its share price appreciation relative to its peer group (or relative total shareholder return) over a three-year measurement period. Any shares earned at the end of the three-year measurement period are subject to a time-based vesting schedule, with 50% of the shares vesting immediately following the measurement period, and the remaining 50% vesting one year thereafter, contingent upon continued employment with the Company through the vesting date (unless terminated prior thereto (a) by the Company without cause, (b) by participant for good reason or, (c) due to death or disability).

The fair values of the 20212022 PSP awards granted during the nine months ended September 30, 20212022 were determined at the grant dates using a Monte Carlo simulation pricing model and the following assumptions:
Risk free interest rate (1)
0.21.7 %
Expected dividend yield (2)
6.55.7 %
Expected volatility (3)
6165 %
(1)Represents the interest rate as of the grant date on US treasury bonds having the same life as the estimated life of the restricted unit grants.
(2)The dividend yield is calculated utilizing the dividends paid foraverage dividend yield over the previous five-year period.three-year period and the current dividend yield as of the valuation date.
(3)Based on a mix of historical and implied volatility for our common shares and the common shares of our peer index companies over the measurement period.

2018 Outperformance2019 Performance Share Plan

On February 15, 2021,17, 2022, the measurement period for the 2018 Outperformance2019 Performance Share Plan ('the 2018 OPP"(the “2019 PSP") expired. Based on the Company’s relative total shareholder return over the three year measurement period, we issued 76,47896,592 restricted common shares in February 2021,2022, with 43,12758,569 vesting immediately and the remaining 33,35138,023 vesting in February one year thereafter, contingent upon continued employment with the Company through the vesting date. Our absolute share price appreciation (or total shareholder return) for the 20182019 OPP did not meet the minimum share price appreciation and no shares were earned under this component of the 20182019 OPP.

18.19. New Accounting Pronouncements

Recently issued accounting standards

On March 12, 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) - Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions that reference LIBOR or other reference rates expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. This ASU is effective as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848), which refines the scope of Topic 848 and clarifies some of its guidance. Specifically, certain provisions in Topic 848, if elected by an entity, apply to derivative instruments that use an interest rate for margining, discounting, or contract price alignment that is modified as a result of reference rate reform. Amendments to the expedients and exceptions in Topic 848 capture the incremental consequences of the scope clarification and tailor the existing guidance to derivative instruments affected by the discounting transition. The amendments are effective immediately for all entities. An entity may elect to apply the amendments on a full retrospective basis. We have

As of September 30, 2022 we had not adopted any of the optional expedients or exceptions, through September 30, 2021, buthowever in October 2022 we elected to apply the hedge accounting expedients related to probability and the assessments of effectiveness for future LIBOR-indexed cash flows to assume that the index upon which future hedged transactions will be based matches the index on the corresponding derivatives. This was done as we modified all of our current interest rate derivative contract indexes from LIBOR to Adjusted SOFR. We have and will continue to elect to apply practical expedients related to contract modifications, changes in critical terms, and updates to the designated hedged risk(s) as qualifying changes are made to applicable debt and derivative instruments. Application of these expedients preserves the presentation of derivatives contracts consistent with past presentation. We continue to evaluate the possible adoptionimpact of any such expedients or exceptions during the effective periodguidance and may apply other applicable elections as circumstances evolve.additional changes in the market and with respect to our debt and derivative instruments occur.

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

The discussion of our results of operations reported in the unaudited, consolidated statements of operations compares the three and nine months ended September 30, 20212022 with the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020.2021. The results of operations discussion is combined for Tanger Factory Outlet Centers, Inc. and Tanger Properties Limited Partnership because the results are virtually the same for both entities. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the unaudited consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this report. Historical results and percentage relationships set forth in the unaudited, consolidated statements of operations, including trends which might appear, are not necessarily indicative of future operations. Unless the context indicates otherwise, the term “Company” refers to Tanger Factory Outlet Centers, Inc. and subsidiaries and the term “Operating Partnership” refers to Tanger Properties Limited Partnership and subsidiaries. The terms “we”, “our” and “us” refer to the Company or the Company and the Operating Partnership together, as the text requires.

Cautionary Statements

Certain statements made in this Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations below are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act. We intend such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Reform Act of 1995 and included this statement for purposes of complying with these safe harbor provisions. Forward-looking statements, which are based on certain assumptions and describe our future plans, strategies, beliefs and expectations, are generally identifiable by use of the words "believe", "expect", "intend", "anticipate", "estimate", "project", or similar expressions. Such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding: the expected impact of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”)COVID-19 pandemic, rising inflation, supply chain and labor issues, and rising interest rates on our business, financial results and financial condition; our ability to raise additional capital, including via future issuances of equity and debt, and the use of proceeds from such issuances; our results of operations and financial condition; capital expenditure and working capital needs and the funding thereof; the repurchase of the Company's common shares, including the potential use of a 10b5-1 plan to facilitate repurchases; future dividend payments; the possibility of future asset impairments; potential developments, expansions, renovations, acquisitions or dispositions of outlet centers;centers, including our Nashville development; compliance with debt covenants; renewal and re-lease of leased space; the outlook for the retail environment, potential bankruptcies, and other store closings; consumer shopping trends and preferences; the outcome of legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business; and real estate joint ventures. You should not rely on forward-looking statements since they involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors which are, in some cases, beyond our control and which could materially affect our actual results, performance or achievements.

Currently, one of the most significant factors, however, is the adverse effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on the financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, compliance with debt covenants and performance of the Company and its tenants, the real estate market and the global economy and financial markets. The extent to which COVID-19 impacts us and our tenants will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the scope, severity and duration of the pandemic, the actions taken to contain the pandemic or mitigate its impact, the acceptance or effectiveness of vaccines or treatments, and the direct and indirect economic effects of the pandemic and containment measures, among others. Moreover, you should interpret many of the risks identified in this report, as well as the risks set forth below, as being heightened as a result of the ongoing and numerous adverse impacts of COVID-19.

Leasing Activity

In the fourth quarter of 2021, we revised our rent spread presentation from a commenced basis to an executed basis and we are presenting it for comparable and non-comparable space. Comparable space excludes leases for space that was vacant for more than 12 months (non-comparable space). We believe that this presentation provides additional information and improves comparability to other retail REITs. Prior period results have been revised to conform with the current period presentation.

The tables below show changes in rent (base rent and common area maintenance (“CAM”))following table provides information for our consolidated outlet centers related to leases for new stores that opened or renewals that startedwere executed during the respective trailing twelve month periods ended September 30, 20212022 and 2020:2021:

COVID-19 PandemicRESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, a number of our tenants requested rent deferrals, rent abatements or other types of rent relief during this pandemic. As a response, in late March 2020, we offered all tenants in our consolidated portfolio the option to defer 100% of April and May rents interest free, payable in equal installments due in January and February of 2021.

As of September 30, 2021, contractual fixed rents billed during 2020 that were deferred as a direct result of the COVID-19 pandemic and remain outstanding totaled $670,000. Through October 29, 2021, the Company had collected 96% of 2020 rents deferred until 2021 and had collected 98% of the 2020 deferred rents due to be repaid during the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

The extent of future tenant requests for rent relief and the impact on our results of operations and cash flows is uncertain and cannot be predicted at this time. If store closures were to occur again in our domestic markets, this could have a material adverse impact on our financial position and results of operations.

Partially offsetting the impact of the items above were the following items:
the prior year period was impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and had significant revenue reductions, and
variable revenue derived from tenant sales was significantly higher in the current period as the COVID-19 pandemic impacted traffic to our centers in the 2020 period and our centers operated under reduced hours.

GAIN ON SALE OF ASSETS
In August 2020, we sold a non-core outlet center in Terrell, Texas for net proceeds $7.6 million, which resulted in a gain on sale of assets of $2.3 million. The proceeds from the sale of this unencumbered asset were used to pay down balances outstanding under our unsecured lines of credit.2024 notes.

OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE)
Other income (expense) decreasedincreased approximately $3.4$6.8 million in the 2022 period compared to the 2021 period. The increase was primarily due to a $2.4 million gain on sale of a non-real estate asset, higher investment income in the 2022 period and the inclusion in the 2021 period compared toof a $3.6 million foreign currency loss from the 2020 period. In March 2021,sale by the RioCan joint venture closed on the sale of its outlet center in Saint-Sauveur, for net proceeds of approximately $9.4 million.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES OF THE COMPANY

In this “Liquidity and Capital Resources of the Company” section, the term “the Company” refers only to Tanger Factory Outlet Centers, Inc. on an unconsolidated basis, excluding the Operating Partnership.





47


The Company’s business is operated primarily through the Operating Partnership. The Company issues public equity from time to time, but does not otherwise generate any capital itself or conduct any business itself, other than incurring certain expenses in operating as a public company, which are fully reimbursed by the Operating Partnership. The Company does not hold any indebtedness, and its only material asset is its ownership of partnership interests of the Operating Partnership. The Company’s principal funding requirement is the payment of dividends on its common shares. The Company’s principal source of funding for its dividend payments is distributions it receives from the Operating Partnership.

Through its ownership ofstatus as the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, the Company has the full, exclusive and complete responsibility for the Operating Partnership’s day-to-day management and control. The Company causes the Operating Partnership to distribute all, or such portion as the Company may in its discretion determine, of its available cash in the manner provided in the Operating Partnership’s partnership agreement. The Company receives proceeds from equity issuances from time to time, but is required by the Operating Partnership’s partnership agreement to contribute the proceeds from its equity issuances to the Operating Partnership in exchange for partnership units of the Operating Partnership.

We are a well-known seasoned issuer (as defined in the Securities Act) with a shelf registration that expires in February 2024 that allows the Company to register unspecified various classes of equity securities and the Operating Partnership to register unspecified, various classes of debt securities. As circumstances warrant, the Company may issue equity from time to time on an opportunistic basis, dependent upon market conditions and available pricing. The Operating Partnership may use the proceeds to repay debt, including borrowings under its lines of credit, to develop new or existing properties, to make acquisitions of properties or portfolios of properties, to invest in existing or newly created joint ventures or for general corporate purposes.

The liquidity of the Company is dependent on the Operating Partnership’s ability to make sufficient distributions to the Company. The Operating Partnership is a party to loan agreements with various bank lenders that require the Operating Partnership to comply with various financial and other covenants before it may make distributions to the Company. The Company also guarantees some of the Operating Partnership’s debt. If the Operating Partnership fails to fulfill its debt requirements, which trigger the Company’s guarantee obligations, then the Company may be required to fulfill its cash payment commitments under such guarantees. However, the Company’s only material asset is its investment in the Operating Partnership.

The Company believes the Operating Partnership’s sources of working capital, specifically its cash flow from operations and cash on hand, are adequate for it to make its distribution payments to the Company and, in turn, for the Company to make any minimum dividend payments to its shareholders and to finance its continued operations, growth strategy and additional expenses we expect to incur for at least the next twelve months. However, there can be no assurance that the Operating Partnership’s sources of capital will continue to be available at all or in amounts sufficient to meet its needs, including its ability to make distribution payments to the Company. The unavailability of capital could adversely affect the Operating Partnership’s ability to pay its distributions to the Company which will, in turn, adversely affect the Company’s ability to pay cash dividends to its shareholders. Our ability to access capital on favorable terms as well as to use cash from operations to continue to meet our liquidity needs, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, could be affected by various risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, macroeconomic conditions, including rising interest rates and inflation, and other risks detailed in “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.2021.

For the Company to maintain its qualification as a REIT, it must pay dividends to its shareholders aggregating annually at least 90% of its taxable income (excluding capital gains). While historically the Company has satisfied this distribution requirement by making cash distributions to its shareholders, it may choose to satisfy this requirement by making distributions of cash or other property, including, in limited circumstances, the Company’s own shares.


52


As a result of this distribution requirement, the Operating Partnership cannot rely on retained earnings to fund its on-going operations to the same extent that other companies whose parent companies are not real estate investment trusts can. The Company may need to continue to raise capital in the equity markets to fund the Operating Partnership’s working capital needs, as well as potential new developments, expansions and renovations of existing properties, acquisitions, or investments in existing or newly created joint ventures.

48


The Company currently consolidates the Operating Partnership because it has (1) the power to direct the activities of the Operating Partnership that most significantly impact the Operating Partnership’s economic performance and (2) the obligation to absorb losses and the right to receive the residual returns of the Operating Partnership that could be potentially significant. The Company does not have significant assets other than its investment in the Operating Partnership. Therefore, the assets and liabilities and the revenues and expenses of the Company and the Operating Partnership are the same on their respective financial statements, except for immaterial differences related to cash, other assets and accrued liabilities that arise from public company expenses paid by the Company. However, all debt is held directly or indirectly at the Operating Partnership level, and the Company has guaranteed some of the Operating Partnership’s unsecured debt as discussed below. Because the Company consolidates the Operating Partnership, the section entitled “Liquidity and Capital Resources of the Operating Partnership” should be read in conjunction with this section to understand the liquidity and capital resources of the Company on a consolidated basis and how the Company is operated as a whole.

In February 2021, we commencedestablished an at-the-market share offering program (“ATM Offering”) under our shelf registration statement on Form S-3. We may offer and sell our common shares, $0.01 par value per share (“Common Shares”), having an aggregate gross sales price of up to $250.0 million (the “Shares”). We may sell the Shares in amounts and at times to be determined by us but we have no obligation to sell any of the Shares. Actual sales, if any, will depend on a variety of factors to be determined by us from time to time, including, among other things, market conditions, the trading price of the Common Shares, capital needs and determinations by us of the appropriate sources of its funding. The Operating Partnership currently intends to use the net proceeds from the sale of shares pursuant to the ATM Offering for working capital and general corporate purposes. As of September 30, 2022, we had approximately $60.1 million remaining available for sale under the ATM Offering program.

In May 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $80.0 million of the Company’s outstanding shares through May 31, 2023. This authorization replaced a previous repurchase authorization for approximately $80 million that expired in May 2021. The Company temporarily suspended share repurchases for the twelve months starting July 1, 2020 and ending on June 30, 2021 in light of a repurchase covenant. On July 1, 2021, a covenant in the Company’s debt agreements (the “repurchase covenant”) prohibiting share repurchases expired. Repurchases may be made from time to time through open market, privately-negotiated, structured or derivative transactions (including accelerated share repurchase transactions), or other methods of acquiring shares. The Company intends to structure open market purchases to occur within pricing and volume requirements of Rule 10b-18. The Company may, from time to time, enter into Rule 10b5-1 plans to facilitate the repurchase of its shares under this authorization. The Company did not repurchase any shares for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 20212022 and 2020.2021. The remaining amount authorized to be repurchased under the program as of September 30, 20212022 was approximately $80.0 million.

In July 2021,2022, the Company's Board of Directors declared a $0.1775$0.20 cash dividend per common share payable on August 13, 202115, 2022 to each shareholder of record on July 30, 2021,29, 2022, and in its capacity as General Partner of the Trustees of Tanger GP Trust declaredOperating Partnership, a $0.1775$0.20 cash distribution per Operating Partnership unit to the Operating Partnership's unitholders.

As a result of the declaration, a liability in the amount of approximately $19.9 million was recorded in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2021.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES OF THE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP

General Overview

In this “Liquidity and Capital Resources of the Operating Partnership” section, the terms “we”, “our” and “us” refer to the Operating Partnership or the Operating Partnership and the Company together, as the text requires.

Summary of Our Major Sources and Uses of Cash and Cash Equivalents

General Overview
Property rental income represents our primary source to pay property operating expenses, debt service, capital expenditures and distributions, excluding non-recurring capital expenditures and acquisitions. To the extent that our cash flow from operating activities is insufficient to cover such non-recurring capital expenditures and acquisitions, we finance such activities from borrowings under our unsecured lines of credit, to the extent available, or from the proceeds from the Operating Partnership’s debt offerings and the Company’s equity offerings.

We believe we achieve a strong and flexible financial position by attempting to: (1) maintain a prudent leverage position relative to our portfolio when pursuing new development, expansion and acquisition opportunities, (2) extend and sequence debt maturities, (3) manage our interest rate risk through a proper mix of fixed and variable rate debt, (4) maintain access to liquidity by using our unsecured lines of credit in a conservative manner and (5) preserve internally generated sources of capital by strategically divesting of underperforming assets and maintaining a conservative distribution payout ratio. We manage our capital structure to reflect a long term investment approach and utilize multiple sources of capital to meet our requirements.

Our ability to access capital on favorable terms as well as to use cash from operations to continue to meet our liquidity needs, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, could be affected by various risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, macroeconomic conditions, including rising interest rates and inflation, and other risks detailed in the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.2021.

Cash Flows

The following table sets forth our changes in cash flows (in thousands):

Effect of foreign currency rate changes on cash and equivalents(131)(208)77 
Net increase in cash and cash equivalents$58,063 $3,193 $54,870 

Operating Activities

The increase in net cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to the collection of rent deferred from April and May of 2020 during the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. These rents were payable during 2021, the majority of which was due in the first quarter of 2021. In addition, our cash collections normalized during 2021, whereas the second and third quarters of 2020 had uncollected and deferred contractual rents as a result of COVID-19.

Investing Activities

The decrease in net cash used in investing activities was primarily due to increased distributions in excess of cumulative earnings from unconsolidated joint ventures.

Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities increased during the first nine months of 2021 as we completed the early redemption of $250.0 million of our 3.875% senior notes due December 2023 and $250.0 million of our 3.75% senior notes due 2024, including make whole premiums of $44.9 million. In addition, in March 2021 and June 2021, we paid down a total of $50.0 million of borrowings under our unsecured term loan with cash on hand. The increase in net cash used in financing activities was partially offset by proceeds received during 2021 from our August 2021 public offering of $400.0 million in senior notes due 2031 and sales of commons shares under our ATM program generating net proceeds of approximately $187.0 million and also due to lower dividend payments in 2021 compared to 2020.

New Development of Consolidated Outlet Centers
During the second quarter of 2022, we purchased land in 2020the Nashville, Tennessee area for approximately $8.8 million and began construction on the development of our wholly-owned outlet center. The center, which will be approximately 290,000 square feet, is expected to defer all capital projects except essential and life-safety projects, due tobe completed in the impact on cash flows caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.fall of 2023.

Potential Future Developments, Acquisitions and Dispositions

WeAs of the date of the filing of this report, we are in the initial studypre-development period for other potential new developments, including a potential site in Nashville, Tennessee.developments. We may also use a joint venture arrangement to develop other potential sites. However, there can be no assurance that these potential future projects will ultimately be developed.

In the case of projects to be wholly-owned by us, we would expect to fund these projects from amounts available under our unsecured lines of credit, but may also fund them with capital from additional public debt and equity offerings. For projects to be developed through joint venture arrangements, we may use collateralized construction loans to fund a portion of the project, with our share of the equity requirements funded from sources described above. See “Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements” for a discussion of unconsolidated joint venture development activities.

We intend to continue to grow our portfolio by developing, expanding or acquiring additional outlet centers. However, you should note that any developments or expansions that we, or a joint venture that we have an ownership interest in, have planned or anticipated may not be started or completed as scheduled, or may not result in accretive net income or funds from operations (“FFO”). See the section “Non-GAAP Supplemental Earnings Measures - Funds From Operations” below for further discussion of FFO. In addition, we regularly evaluate acquisition or disposition proposals and engage from time to time in negotiations for acquisitions or dispositions of properties. We may also enter into letters of intent for the purchase or sale of properties. Any prospective acquisition or disposition that is being evaluated or which is subject to a letter of intent may not be consummated, or if consummated, may not result in an increase in earnings or liquidity.

Unconsolidated Real Estate Joint Ventures
From time to time, we form joint venture arrangements to develop outlet centers. As of September 30, 2022 we have partial ownership interests in six unconsolidated outlet centers totaling approximately 2.1 million square feet, including two outlet centers in Canada. See Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements for details of our individual joint ventures, including, but not limited to, carrying values of our investments, fees we receive for services provided to the joint ventures, recent development and financing transactions and condensed combined summary financial information.

We may elect to fund cash needs of a joint venture through equity contributions (generally on a basis proportionate to our ownership interests), advances or partner loans, although such funding is not typically required contractually or otherwise. We separately report investments in joint ventures for which accumulated distributions have exceeded investments in, and our share of net income or loss of, the joint ventures within other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets because we are committed and intend to provide further financial support to these joint ventures. We believe our joint ventures will be able to fund their operating and capital needs for the next twelve months based on their sources of working capital, specifically cash flow from operations, access to contributions from partners, and ability to refinance debt obligations, including the ability to exercise upcoming extensions of near term maturities.

Our joint ventures are typically encumbered by a mortgage on the joint venture property. We provide guarantees to lenders for our joint ventures which include standard non-recourse carve out indemnifications for losses arising from items such as but not limited to fraud, physical waste, payment of taxes, environmental indemnities, misapplication of insurance proceeds or security deposits and failure to maintain required insurance. A default by a joint venture under its debt obligations may expose us to liability under the guaranty. For secured term loans, we may include a guaranty of completion as well as a principal guaranty ranging from 0% to 15.5% of principal. Our joint ventures may contain make whole provisions in the event that demands are made on any existing guarantees.







5651


Our joint ventures are generally subject to buy-sell provisions which are customary for joint venture agreements in the real estate industry. Either partner may initiate these provisions (subject to any applicable lock up period), which could result in either the sale of our interest or the use of available cash or additional borrowings to acquire the other party's interest. Under these provisions, one partner sets a price for the property, then the other partner has the option to either (1) purchase their partner's interest based on that price or (2) sell its interest to the other partner based on that price. Since the partner other than the partner who triggers the provision has the option to be the buyer or seller, we do not consider this arrangement to be a mandatory redeemable obligation.

Contractual Obligations

There were no material changes in our commitments during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 under contractual obligations from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, other than the following updates to our contractual obligations for future debt and interest payments over the next five years and thereafter as of September 30, 2022.

Future Debt Obligations
As described further in Note 7 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements, as of September 30, 2022, scheduled maturities of our existing long-term debt for the remainder of 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025 and 2026 are $1.1 million, $44.9 million, $305.1 million, $1.5 million and $355.7 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2022, scheduled maturities after 2026 aggregate to $700.0 million.

Future Interest Payments
We are obligated to make periodic interest payments at fixed and variable rates, depending on the terms of the applicable debt agreements. Based on applicable interest rates and scheduled debt maturities as of September 30, 2022, these interest obligations total approximately $40.4 million over the next twelve months.

Cash Flows

The following table sets forth our changes in cash flows from September 30, 2022 and 2021 (in thousands):
Nine months ended September 30,

Effect of foreign currency rate changes on cash and equivalents(93)(131)38 
Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents$19,398 $58,063 $(38,665)

Operating Activities
In 2022, our net cash provided by operating activities decreased year over year primarily due to changes in working capital. The decrease was partially offset by an increase in rental revenues primarily due an increase in occupancy rates, variable rental revenues and reversals of revenue reserves.

Investing Activities
The increase in net cash used in investing activities was primarily due to the purchase of land at our new center in Nashville, Tennessee, paired with increased additions to rental properties in the 2022 period. The 2021 period included net proceeds of approximately $8.1 million received in 2021 from the sale of our Jeffersonville outlet center, while the 2022 period included lower distributions in excess of cumulative earnings from unconsolidated joint ventures and lower other investing activities. In addition, we made a $7.0 million contribution to the Galveston/Houston joint venture in 2021 to reduce the principal balance of the mortgage loan. No property sales or contributions to joint ventures occurred in 2022. The above changes were all partially offset by net proceeds on the sale of non-real estate assets of $14.6 million that occurred in 2022.



52


Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities decreased during the first nine months of 2022 primarily due to 2021 activity that included an early redemption of $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 3.875% senior notes due December 2023 and $250 million of our 3.75% senior notes due 2024, which included make-whole premiums of $44.9 million. In addition, in March 2021 and June 2021, we paid down a total of $50.0 million of borrowings under our unsecured term loan with cash on hand. These decreases were partially offset by the proceeds from our common share offering of $400.00 million in 2021 under our ATM offering program. Additionally, for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, there was an increase in dividends paid.

Financing Arrangements

As of September 30, 2021,2022, unsecured borrowings represented 95%96% of our outstanding debt and 92% of the gross book value of our real estate portfolio was unencumbered. The Company guarantees the Operating Partnership’s obligations under our lines of credit.

As of September 30, 2022, we maintained unsecured lines of credit that provided for borrowings of up to $520.0 million. The unsecured lines of credit as of September 30, 2022 included a $20.0 million liquidity line and a $500.0 million syndicated line. The syndicated line may be increased up to $1.2 billion through an accordion feature in certain circumstances.

We intend to retain the ability to raise additional capital, including public debt or equity, to pursue attractive investment opportunities that may arise and to otherwise act in a manner that we believe to be in the best interests of our shareholders and unitholders. The Company and Operating Partnership are well-known seasoned issuers with a joint shelf registration statement on Form S-3, expiring in February 2024, that allows us to register unspecified amounts of different classes of securities. To generate capital to reinvest into other attractive investment opportunities, we may also consider the use of additional operational and developmental joint ventures, the sale or lease of outparcels on our existing properties and the sale of certain properties that do not meet our long-term investment criteria. Based on cash provided by operations, existing lines of credit, ongoing relationships with certain financial institutions and our ability to sell debt or issue equity subject to market conditions, we believe that we have access to the necessary financing to fund the planned capital expenditures for at least the next twelve months.

We anticipate that adequate cash will be available to fund our operating and administrative expenses, regular debt service obligations, and the payment of dividends in accordance with REIT requirements in both the short and long-term. Although we receive most of our rental payments on a monthly basis, distributions to shareholders and unitholders are typically made quarterly and interest payments on the senior, unsecured notes are made semi-annually. Amounts accumulated for such payments will be used in the interim to reduce the outstanding borrowings under our existing unsecured lines of credit or invested in short-term money market or other suitable instruments.

The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows will depend on future developments which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the scope, severity and duration of the pandemic, the actions taken to contain the pandemic or mitigate its impact, the timing or effectiveness of any vaccines or treatments, and the direct and indirect economic effects of the pandemic and containment measures, among others.

As of September 30, 2021,2022, the Company’s total liquidity was approximately $663.1$700.7 million, including cash and cash equivalents on the Company’s balance sheet and the full undrawn capacity under its $520 million unsecured lines of credit. We expect to have sufficient liquidity to meet our obligations for at least the next 12twelve months. For further discussion

Additionally, in October 2022, the Southaven, MS joint venture amended and restated its secured term loan, increasing the outstanding balance to $51.7 million from $40.1 million, extending maturity to October 2026 plus a one year extension option, from April 2023, with an interest rate of COVID-19, please see “Management’s DiscussionAdjusted SOFR plus 200 basis points.

Operating Partnership Term Loan

In October 2022, we amended and Analysis of Financial Conditionrestated our unsecured term loan. The outstanding balance was increased from $300.0 million to $325.0 million and Results of Operations - COVID-19 Pandemic”.the maturity was extended to January 2027 plus a one-year extension option. The interest rate changed from LIBOR + 1.25% to Adjusted SOFR + 1.20% based on our current credit rating. The amendment also incorporates a sustainability metric, reducing the applicable grid-based interest rate spread by one basis point annually, subject to meeting certain thresholds.

We believe our current balance sheet position is financially sound; however, due to the economic uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, rising interest rates and inflation, and the inherent uncertainty and unpredictability of the capital and credit markets, we can give no assurance that affordable access to capital will exist between now and when our next significant debt matures, which is our unsecured term loan$350.0 million of 3.125% senior notes due April 2024.in September 2026.

Redemption ofEquity Offerings under the 2023 and 2024 Senior Notes and public offering of aggregate $400.0 Million Unsecured Senior Notes due 2031

ATM Offering Program
In AprilFebruary 2021, we completed a partial redemption of $150.0 millionthe Company established the ATM Offering program whereby it may offer and sell the Company's common shares having an aggregate principal amount of our $250.0 million 3.875% senior notes due December 2023, for $163.0 million in cash, which includes a make-whole premium of $13.0 million and the write off of approximately $1.0 million of debt discount and debt origination costs. The make-whole premium and the write off of debt discount and debt origination costs was recorded as a loss on early extinguishment of debt within the consolidated statements of operations. Subsequent to this redemption, $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Notes remained outstanding, until the redemption in August 2021, described below.

In August 2021, we completed a public offering of $400.0 million in senior notes due 2031. The notes were priced at 98.552% of the principal amount to yield 2.917% to maturity. The notes pay interest semi-annually at a rate of 2.750% per annum and mature on September 1, 2031. The aggregate net proceeds from the offering, after deducting the underwriting discount and offering expenses, were approximately $390.7 million. We used the net proceeds from the sale of the notes to redeem all remaining 3.875% senior notes due 2023, $100.0 million in aggregate principal amount outstanding, and all 3.750% senior notes due 2024, $250.0 million in aggregate principal outstanding.The redemptions occurred in September 2021 and included a make-whole premium of $31.9 million and the write off of approximately $1.9 million of debt discount and debt origination costs. The remaining proceeds were used for general corporate purposes.

Unsecured term loan

In March 2021 and June 2021, we paid down a total of $50.0 million of borrowings under our $350.0 million unsecured term loan with cash on hand, reducing the balance outstanding to $300.0 million as of September 30, 2021.

Unsecured Lines of Credit Amendments and Extension

In June 2020, we amended the debt agreements for our lines of credit and bank term loan, primarily to improve future covenant flexibility. The amendments, among other things, allowed us to access the existing surge leverage provision, which provides for an increase to the maximum thresholds to 65% from 60% for total leverage and unsecured leverage, for twelve months from July 1, 2020 to June 30, 2021, during which time share repurchases were prohibited. Additionally, the leverage covenants are determined based on the calculation period which is modified to be based on the immediately preceding three calendar month period annualized for the calculation date occurring on December 31, 2020; the immediately preceding six calendar month period annualized for the calculation date occurring on March 31, 2021; the immediately preceding nine calendar month period annualized for the calculation date occurring on June 30, 2021; and for all other calculation dates occurring during the term on the agreement, the immediately preceding twelve calendar month period. Some definitional modifications related to the calculation of certain covenants are permanent, including the netting of cash balances in excess of $30.0 million (or debt maturing in the next 24 months, if less) as well as using adjusted EBITDA, which adds back general and administrative expenses not attributable to the subsidiaries or properties and deducts a management fee of 3% of rental revenues in liability and asset calculations for certain covenants. The amendments revised the interest rate to provide a LIBOR floor of 0.25% for the portions of the lines of credit and bank term loan that are not fixed with an interest rate swap. Although the amended covenants provide additional flexibility and we expect to remain in compliance with such covenants, the potential impacts from COVID-19 are highly uncertain and therefore could impact covenant compliance in the future.

In July 2021, we amended our unsecured lines of credit and extended the maturity date from October 2021 to July 2025, which may be extended by an additional year by exercising two six-month extension options. The amendment eliminated the LIBOR floor, which was previously 0.25%, and entitles us to a one basis point annual reduction in the interest rate if we meet certain sustainability thresholds. Other pricing terms remained the same. The lines provide for borrowingsgross sales price of up to $520.0$250.0 million. During 2021, under this program, the Company sold 10.0 million includingshares at a $20.0weighted average price of $18.97 per share, generating net proceeds of $187.1 million liquidity line and leaving a $500.0 million syndicated line. A 0.25%facility fee is due annually onremaining authorization of $60.1 million. The proceeds were contributed to the entire committed amount of each facility. In certain circumstances, total line capacity may be increasedOperating Partnership and then used primarily to $1.2 billion through an accordion feature inreduce indebtedness. There were no shares sold under the syndicated line.ATM program for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Other Financing Activity

In April 2021, Moody’s lowered the company’s credit rating to Baa3, stable. As the Company no longer has a split rating between the rating agencies, the pricing over LIBOR for the lines of credit, term loan and facility fee increased to 1.20%, 1.25% and .25%, respectively, effective May 1, 2021.

In October 2021, the joint venture that owns the Southaven, MS outlet center exercised its option to extend the maturity of the Southaven, MS mortgage to April 2023 and paid down the principal balance by $11.3 million to $40.1 million. The interest rate remains LIBOR + 1.80%. The outlet center is consolidated for financial reporting purposes and we funded the entire $11.3 million.

Debt Covenants

The Operating Partnership’s debt agreements require the maintenance of certain ratios, including debt service coverage and leverage, and limit the payment of dividends such that dividends and distributions will not exceed funds from operations, as defined in the agreements, for the prior fiscal year on an annual basis or 95% on a cumulative basis.

We have historically been, and at September 30, 20212022 are, in compliance with all of our debt covenants. The ongoing financial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic could potentially negatively impact our future compliance with financial covenants of our credit facilities, term loan and other debt agreements and result in a default and potentially an acceleration of indebtedness. Our continued compliance with these covenants depends on many factors and could be impacted by current or future economic conditions, including those associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. Failure to comply with these covenants would result in a default which, if we were unable to cure or obtain a waiver from the lenders, could accelerate the repayment obligations. Further, in the event of default, the Company may be restricted from paying dividends to its shareholders in excess of dividends required to maintain its REIT qualification. Accordingly, an event of default could have a material and adverse impact on us. As a result, we have considered our short-term (one year or less from the date of filing these financial statements) liquidity needs and the adequacy of our estimated cash flows from operating activities and other financing sources to meet these needs. These other sources include but are not limited to: existing cash, ongoing relationships with certain financial institutions, our ability to sell debt or issue equity subject to market conditions and proceeds from the potential sale of non-core assets. We believe that we have access to the necessary financing to fund our short-term liquidity needs.

As of September 30, 2021,2022, we believe our most restrictive covenants are contained in our senior, unsecured notes. Key financial covenants and their covenant levels, which are calculated based on contractual terms, include the following:
Senior unsecured notes financial covenantsRequiredActual
Total consolidated debt to adjusted total assets<60%4240 %
Total secured debt to adjusted total assets<40%32 %
Total unencumbered assets to unsecured debt>150%229239 %
Consolidated Income Available for Debt Service to Annual Debt Service Charge> 1.5 x5.7

In addition, key financial covenants for our lines of credit and term loan, include the following as of September 30, 2021:2022:
 RequiredActual
Total Liabilities to Total Adjusted Asset Value<60%4137 %
Secured Indebtedness to Adjusted Unencumbered Asset Value<35%65 %
EBITDA to Fixed Charges>1.5 x4.14.5 
Total Unsecured Indebtedness to Adjusted Unencumbered Asset Value<60%3533 %
Unencumbered Interest Coverage Ratio>1.5 x4.75.7 

Depending on the future economic impact of COVID-19, inflation and rising interest rates, other covenants related to credit facilities, term loans, and other debt obligations could become one of our most restrictive covenants.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS

There were no material changes in our commitments during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 under contractual obligations from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, other than the following updates to our contractual obligations for debt and interest payments over the next five years and thereafter as of September 30, 2021 (in thousands):

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

We have partial ownership interests in six unconsolidated outlet centers totaling approximately 2.1 million square feet, including two outlet centers in Canada. See Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements for details of our individual joint ventures, including, but not limited to, carrying values of our investments, fees we receive for services provided to the joint ventures, recent development and financing transactions and condensed combined summary financial information.

We may elect to fund cash needs of a joint venture through equity contributions (generally on a basis proportionate to our ownership interests), advances or partner loans, although such funding is not typically required contractually or otherwise. We separately report investments in joint ventures for which accumulated distributions have exceeded investments in, and our share of net income or loss of, the joint ventures within other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets because we are committed and intend to provide further financial support to these joint ventures. We believe our joint ventures will be able to fund their operating and capital needs for the next twelve months based on their sources of working capital, specifically cash flow from operations, access to contributions from partners, and ability to refinance debt obligations, including the ability to exercise upcoming extensions of near term maturities.

Our joint ventures are typically encumbered by a mortgage on the joint venture property. We provide guarantees to lenders for our joint ventures which include standard non-recourse carve out indemnifications for losses arising from items such as but not limited to fraud, physical waste, payment of taxes, environmental indemnities, misapplication of insurance proceeds or security deposits and failure to maintain required insurance. A default by a joint venture under its debt obligations may expose us to liability under the guaranty. For construction and mortgage loans, we may include a guaranty of completion as well as a principal guaranty ranging from 5% to 100% of principal. The principal guarantees include terms for release based upon satisfactory completion of construction and performance targets including occupancy thresholds and minimum debt service coverage tests. Our joint ventures may contain make whole provisions in the event that demands are made on any existing guarantees.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATESColumbus

Refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K forIn September 2022, the year ended December 31, 2020Columbus joint venture completed the refinance of the Companyits mortgage. The new $71.0 million non-recourse loan has a maturity date of October 2032 and a fixed interest rate of 6.25%.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. GAAP and the Operating PartnershipCompany’s discussion and analysis of its financial condition and operating results require the Company’s management to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts reported. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for a discussionmaking judgments about the carrying values of ourassets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates, and such differences may be material. Management believes the Company’s critical accounting policies, which include principles of consolidation, rental property,estimates are those related to impairment of long-lived assets, impairment of investments, revenue recognition and collectibility of operating lease receivables. Management considers these estimates critical because they are both important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition and operating results, and they require management to make judgments and estimates about inherently uncertain matters. The Company’s senior management has reviewed these critical accounting estimates and related disclosures with the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors.

Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 contains a discussion of our critical accounting estimates in the Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section. There werehave been no material changes to these policies inestimates during the quarterthree and nine months ended September 30, 2021.

If the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic cause economic and market conditions to deteriorate beyond our current expectations or if our expected holding periods for assets change, subsequent tests for impairment could result in additional impairment charges in the future. For example, the Foxwoods property is part of a casino property and continues to face leasing challenges which could lead to further declines in occupancy, rental revenues and cash flows in the future. Such challenges, or a change in our expected holding period, could result in additional impairment charges recognized for the Foxwoods property. We can provide no assurance that material impairment charges with respect to our properties will not occur during the remainder of 2021 or future periods.


2022, other than discussed below.

Revenue recognition and collectibility of operating lease receivables

We, as a lessor, retain substantially all of the risks and benefits of ownership of our outlet centers and account for our leases as operating leases. We accrue fixed lease income on a straight-line basis over the terms of the leases, when we believe substantially all lease income, including the related straight-line rent receivable, is probable of collection. Our assessment of collectability requires the exercise of considerable judgment and incorporates available operational performance measures such as sales and the aging of billed amounts as well as other publicly available information with respect to our tenant’s financial condition, liquidity and capital resources, including declines in such conditions due to, or amplified by, the COVID-19 pandemic. When a tenant seeks to reorganize its operations through bankruptcy proceedings, we assess the collectability of receivable balances including, among other things, the timing of a tenant’s bankruptcy filing and our expectations of the assumption by the tenant in bankruptcy proceeding of leases at the Company’s properties on substantially similar terms. In the event that we determine accrued receivables are not probable of collection, lease income will be recorded on a cash basis, with the corresponding tenant receivable and straight-line rent receivable charged as a direct write-off against lease income in the period of the change in our collectability determination.

NON-GAAP SUPPLEMENTAL MEASURES

Funds From Operations

Funds From Operations (“FFO”) is a widely used measure of the operating performance for real estate companies that supplements net income (loss) determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”).GAAP. We determine FFO based on the definition set forth by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), of which we are a member. In December 2018, NAREIT issued “NAREIT Funds From Operations White Paper - 2018 Restatement” which clarifies, where necessary, existing guidance and consolidates alerts and policy bulletins into a single document for ease of use. NAREIT defines FFO as net income (loss) available to the Company’s common shareholders computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding (i) depreciation and amortization related to real estate, (ii) gains or losses from sales of certain real estate assets, (iii) gains and losses from change in control, (iv) 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 and (v) after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis.

FFO is intended to exclude historical cost depreciation of real estate as required by GAAP which assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes ratably over time. Historically, however, real estate values have risen or fallen with market conditions. Because FFO excludes depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, gains and losses from property dispositions and extraordinary items, it provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, reflects the impact to operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, development activities and interest costs, providing perspective not immediately apparent from net income (loss).

We present FFO because we consider it an important supplemental measure of our operating performance. In addition, a portion of cash bonus compensation to certain members of management is based on our FFO or Core FFO, which is described in the section below. We believe it is useful for investors to have enhanced transparency into how we evaluate our performance and that of our management. In addition, FFO is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of REITs, many of which present FFO when reporting their results. FFO is also widely used by us and others in our industry to evaluate and price potential acquisition candidates. We believe that FFO payout ratio, which represents regular distributions to common shareholders and unit holders of the Operating Partnership expressed as a percentage of FFO, is useful to investors because it facilitates the comparison of dividend coverage between REITs. NAREIT has encouraged its member companies to report their FFO as a supplemental, industry-wide standard measure of REIT operating performance.

FFO has significant limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:

FFO does not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements, for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;

FFO does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;

Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and FFO does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements; and

Other companies in our industry may calculate FFO differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.

Because of these limitations, FFO should not be considered as a measure of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business or our dividend paying capacity. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using FFO only as a supplemental measure.

Core Funds From OperationsFFO

WeIf applicable, we present Core FFO (formerly referred to as AFFO)Funds From Operations (“Core FFO”) as a supplemental measure of our performance. We define Core FFO as FFO further adjusted to eliminate the impact of certain items that we do not consider indicative of our ongoing operating performance. These further adjustments are itemized in the table below, if applicable. You are encouraged to evaluate these adjustments and the reasons we consider them appropriate for supplemental analysis. In evaluating Core FFO you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses that are the same as or similar to some of the adjustments in this presentation. Our presentation of Core FFO should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items.

We present Core FFO because we believe it assists investors and analysts in comparing our performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance. In addition, we believe it is useful for investors to have enhanced transparency into how we evaluate management’s performance and the effectiveness of our business strategies. We use Core FFO when certain material, unplanned transactions occur as a factor in evaluating management’s performance and to evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies, and may use Core FFO when determining incentive compensation.

Core FFO has limitations as an analytical tool. Some of these limitations are:

Core FFO does not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements, for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;

Core FFO does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;

Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and Core FFO does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements;

Core FFO does not reflect the impact of certain cash charges resulting from matters we consider not to be indicative of our ongoing operations; and

Other companies in our industry may calculate Core FFO differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.

Because of these limitations, Core FFO should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using Core FFO only as a supplemental measure.

Portfolio Net Operating Income and Same Center NOINet Operating Income

We present portfolio net operating income (“Portfolio NOI”) and same center net operating income (“Same Center NOI”) as supplemental measures of our operating performance. Portfolio NOI represents our property level net operating income which is defined as total operating revenues less property operating expenses and excludes termination fees and non-cash adjustments including straight-line rent, net above and below market rent amortization, impairment charges, loss on early extinguishment of debt and gains or losses on the sale of assets recognized during the periods presented. We define Same Center NOI as Portfolio NOI for the properties that were operational for the entire portion of both comparable reporting periods and which were not acquired, or subject to a material expansion or non-recurring event, such as a natural disaster, during the comparable reporting periods. We present Portfolio NOI and Same Center NOI on both a consolidated and total portfolio, including pro rata share of unconsolidated joint ventures, basis.

We believe Portfolio NOI and Same Center NOI are non-GAAP metrics used by industry analysts, investors and management to measure the operating performance of our properties because they provide performance measures directly related to the revenues and expenses involved in owning and operating real estate assets and provide a perspective not immediately apparent from net income (loss), FFO or Core FFO. Because Same Center NOI excludes properties developed, redeveloped, acquired and sold; as well as non-cash adjustments, gains or losses on the sale of outparcels and termination rents; it highlights operating trends such as occupancy levels, rental rates and operating costs on properties that were operational for both comparable periods. Other REITs may use different methodologies for calculating Portfolio NOI and Same Center NOI, and accordingly, our Portfolio NOI and Same Center NOI may not be comparable to other REITs.

Portfolio NOI and Same Center NOI should not be considered alternatives to net income (loss) or as an indicator of our financial performance since they do not reflect the entire operations of our portfolio, nor do they reflect the impact of general and administrative expenses, acquisition-related expenses, interest expense, depreciation and amortization costs, other non-property income and losses, the level of capital expenditures and leasing costs necessary to maintain the operating performance of our properties, or trends in development and construction activities which are significant economic costs and activities that could materially impact our results from operations. Because of these limitations, Portfolio NOI and Same Center NOI should not be viewed in isolation or as a substitute for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using Portfolio NOI and Same Center NOI only as supplemental measures.

Adjusted EBITDA, EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre

We present Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”) as adjusted for items described below (“Adjusted EBITDA”), EBITDA for Real Estate (“EBITDAre”) and Adjusted EBITDAre, all non-GAAP measures, as supplemental measures of our operating performance. Each of these measures is defined as follows:
We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) available to the Company’s common shareholders computed in accordance with GAAP before net interest expense, income taxes (if applicable), depreciation and amortization, gains and losses on sale of operating properties, joint venture properties, outparcels and other assets, gains and losses on change of control, impairment write-downs of depreciated property and of investment in unconsolidated joint ventures caused by a decrease in value of depreciated property in the affiliate, compensation related to voluntary retirement plan and other executive officer severance, gain on sale of non-real estate asset, casualty gains and losses, gains and losses on early extinguishment of debt, net and other items that we do not consider indicative of the Company's ongoing operating performance.

We determine EBITDAre based on the definition set forth by NAREIT, which is defined as net income (loss) available to the Company’s common shareholders computed in accordance with GAAP before net interest expense, income taxes (if applicable), depreciation and amortization, gains and losses on sale of operating properties, gains and losses on change of control and impairment write-downs of depreciated property and of investment in unconsolidated joint ventures caused by a decrease in value of depreciated property in the affiliate and after adjustments to reflect our share of the EBITDAre of unconsolidated joint ventures.
Adjusted EBITDAre is defined as EBITDAre excluding gains and losses on early extinguishment of debt, net, casualty gains and losses, compensation related to voluntary retirement plan and other executive officer severance, gain on sale of non-real estate asset, gains and losses on sale of outparcels, and other items that that we do not consider indicative of the Company's ongoing operating performance.
We present Adjusted EBITDA, EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre as we believe they are useful for investors, creditors and rating agencies as they provide additional performance measures that are independent of a Company’s existing capital structure to facilitate the evaluation and comparison of the Company’s operating performance to other REITs and provide a more consistent metric for comparing the operating performance of the Company’s real estate between periods.
Adjusted EBITDA, EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre have significant limitations as analytical tools, including:
They do not reflect our net interest expense;

They do not reflect gains or losses on sales of operating properties or impairment write-downs of depreciated property and of investment in unconsolidated joint ventures caused by a decrease in value of depreciated property in the affiliate;

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAre do not reflect gains and losses on extinguishment of debt and other items that may affect operations; and

Other companies in our industry may calculate these measures differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.

Because of these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA, EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using Adjusted EBITDA, EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre only as supplemental measures.

ECONOMIC CONDITIONS AND OUTLOOK

We are closely monitoring the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, along with rising inflation, supply chain and labor issues, and rising interest rates on all aspects of our business and geographies, including how it will impact our tenants and business partners. For further discussion of COVID-19, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - COVID-19 Pandemic.”
The majority of our leases contain provisions designed to mitigate the impact of inflation. Such provisions include clauses for the escalation of base rent and clauses enabling us to receive percentage rentals based on tenants’ gross sales (above predetermined levels) which generally increase as prices rise. A component of most leases includes a pro-rata share or escalating fixed contributions by the tenant for property operating expenses, including common area maintenance, real estate taxes, insurance and advertising and promotion, thereby reducing exposure to increases in costs and operating expenses resulting from inflation.

A portion of our rental revenues are derived from rents that directly depend on the sales volume of certain tenants. Accordingly, declines in these tenants’ sales would reduce the income produced by our properties. If the sales or profitability of our retail tenants decline sufficiently, whether due to a change in consumer preferences, health concerns, legislative changes that increase the cost of their operations or otherwise, such tenants may be unable to pay their existing rents as such rents would represent a higher percentage of their sales. As

In addition, certain of our lease agreements include co-tenancy and/or sales-based provisions that may allow a resulttenant to pay reduced rent and/or terminate a lease prior to its natural expiration if we fail to maintain certain occupancy levels or retain specified named tenants, or if the tenant does not achieve certain specified sales targets. If our occupancy declines, certain outlet centers may fall below the minimum co-tenancy thresholds and could trigger many tenants' contractual ability to pay reduced rents, which in turn may negatively impact our results of the COVID-19 pandemic, we saw reductions in rental revenues during 2020 as a result of declines in the sales volumes of certain tenants. However, during the first nine months of 2021, traffic and sales on average for our portfolio have returned to near or above pre-pandemic levels, resulting in significant increases in rental revenues compared to the prior year.operations.

Our outlet centers typically include well-known, national, brand name companies. By maintaining a broad base of well-known tenants and a geographically diverse portfolio of properties located across the United States, we believe we reduce our operating and leasing risks. NoAs of September 30, 2022 no one tenant (including affiliates) accounts for more than 8% of our square feet or 7%6% of our rental revenues.

Due to the relatively short-term nature of our tenants’ leases, a significant portion of the leases in our portfolio come up for renewal each year. As of January 1, 2021, we hadDuring 2022, approximately 1.72.1 million square feet, or 15%17% of the total portfolio, including our consolidated portfolio at that time comingshare of unconsolidated joint ventures, will come up for renewal during 2021. Asrenewal. For the total portfolio, including the Company’s pro rata share of unconsolidated joint ventures, as of September 30, 2021,2022, we had renewed approximately 54%lease renewals executed or in process for 75.6% of this space. In addition, for the rolling twelve months endedspace scheduled to expire during 2022 compared to 67.6% of the space scheduled to expire during 2021 that was executed or in process as of September 30, 2021, we completed renewals and re-tenanted space totaling 1.6 million square feet at a blended 0.6% decrease in average base rental rates compared to the expiring rates.2021.

The current challenging retail environment has impacted our business as our operations are subject to the operating results and operating decisions of our retail tenants. We arecontinue to be encouraged by the recent improvement in traffic andstability of our sales trends which in many cases are exceeding 2019 levels, and the fact that collections of monthly rents have normalized.remain elevated above pre-pandemic levels. However, many retailers across the country are currently facing, or expect to face, potential impact of rising inflation, logistics and staffing issues. While we believe many of these retailers are proactively navigating this situation, the ultimate impact of inflation, labor and supply chain issues is unknown.

We may continue to experience pressure from current vacancies, potential additional store closures and potential rent modifications. As is typical in the retail industry, certain tenants have closed, or will close, certain stores by terminating their lease prior to its contractual expiration or as a result of filing for protection under bankruptcy laws, or may request modifications to their existing lease terms. We have recaptured approximately 135,000 square feet within our consolidated portfolio during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 related to bankruptcies and brand-wide restructurings by retailers, compared to 586,000 square feet for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

We believe outlet stores will continue to be a profitable and fundamental distribution channel for many brand name manufacturers. While we continue to attract and retain additional tenants, if we were unable to successfully renew or re-lease a significant amount of this space on favorable economic terms or in a timely manner, the loss in rent and our Same Center NOI could be further negatively impacted in 2021. Occupancy at our consolidated centers was 94.3% and 92.9% as of September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.impacted. As a result of COVID-19, inflation, rising interest rates, and other current or future economic conditions, occupancy could be negatively impacted in the remainderimpacted.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Market Risk

We are exposed to various market risks, including changes in interest rates. Market risk is the potential loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as interest rates.

Interest Rate Risk

We may periodically enter into certain interest rate protection and interest rate swap agreements to effectively convert existing floating rate debt to a fixed rate basis. We do not enter into derivatives or other financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. We currently have interest rate swap agreements to fix the interest rates on outstanding debt with notional amounts totaling $300.0 million. See Note 78 to the consolidated financial statements for additional details related to our outstanding derivatives.

As of September 30, 2021, 4%2022, 3% of our outstanding consolidated debt, excluding the amount of variable rate debt with interest rate protection agreements in place, had variable interest rates and therefore was subject to market fluctuations. A change in the LIBOR index of 100 basis points would result in an increase or decrease of approximately $514,000$401,000 in interest expense on an annual basis. The information presented herein is merely an estimate and has limited predictive value. As aphase-out of LIBOR may result the ultimate effect upon our operating results ofin additional interest rate fluctuations will depend on the interest rate exposures that arise during the period, our hedging strategies at that timerisk and future changes in the level of interest rates.we have not yet determined an alternative benchmark rate.

The interest rate spreads associated with our unsecured lines of credit and our unsecured term loan are based on the higher of our two investment grade credit ratings. Changes to our credit ratings could cause our interest rate spread to adjust accordingly. In April 2021, Moody’s lowered the company’s credit rating to Baa3, stable. As the Company no longer has a split rating between the rating agencies the pricing over LIBOR for the lines of credit, term loan and facility fee increased to 1.20%, 1.25% and .25%, respectively, effective May 1, 2021. As of September 30, 2021, there were no outstanding balances under our unsecured lines of credit. If additional decreases to our credit ratings occur, interest expense could increase depending upon the level of downgrade.

The information presented herein is merely an estimate and has limited predictive value. As a result, the ultimate effect upon our operating results of interest rate fluctuations will depend on the interest rate exposures that arise during the period, our hedging strategies at that time and future changes in the level of interest rates.

The estimated fair value and recorded value of our debt consisting of senior unsecured notes, unsecured term loans, secured mortgages and unsecured lines of credit were as follows (in thousands):
September 30, 2021December 31, 2020September 30, 2022December 31, 2021
Fair value of debtFair value of debt$1,460,646 $1,639,803 Fair value of debt$1,224,737 $1,445,337 
Recorded value of debtRecorded value of debt$1,410,765 $1,567,886 Recorded value of debt$1,395,463 $1,397,076 

A 100 basis point increase from prevailing interest rates at September 30, 20212022 and December 31, 20202021 would result in a decrease in fair value of total consolidated debt of approximately $67.3$43.7 million and $55.8$66.0 million, respectively. Refer to Note 89 to the consolidated financial statements for a description of our methodology in calculating the estimated fair value of debt. Considerable judgment is necessary to develop estimated fair values of financial instruments. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts we could realize on the disposition of the financial instruments. In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic and actions taken by the Federal Reserve may impact markets, rates, behavior and other estimates used in the above scenarios.

Foreign Currency Risk

We are also exposed to foreign currency risk on investments in outlet centers that are located in Canada. Our currency exposure is concentrated in the Canadian Dollar. To mitigate some of the risk related to changes in foreign currency, cash flows received from our Canadian joint ventures are either reinvested to fund ongoing Canadian development activities, if applicable, or converted to US dollars and utilized to repay amounts outstanding under our unsecured lines of credit.credit, if any. Accordingly, cash held in Canadian Dollars at any point in time is insignificant. We generally do not hedge currency translation exposures.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

(c) Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

In May 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $80.0 million of the Company’s outstanding shares through May 31, 2023. This authorization replaced a previous repurchase authorization for approximately $80.0 million that expired in May 2021. In June 2020, we amended our debt agreements primarily to improve future covenant flexibility and such amendments included a prohibition on share repurchases for twelve months starting July 1, 2020 (the “Repurchase Covenant”). The Company temporarily suspended share repurchases for the twelve months starting July 1, 2020 and ending on June 30, 2021 in light of the repurchase covenant. On July 1, 2021, a covenant in the Company’s debt agreements (the “repurchase covenant”) prohibiting share repurchasesRepurchase Covenant expired.

Repurchases may be made from time to time through open market, privately-negotiated, structured or derivative transactions (including accelerated share repurchase transactions), or other methods of acquiring shares. The Company intends to structure open market purchases to occur within pricing and volume requirements of Rule 10b-18. The Company may, from time to time, enter into Rule 10b5-1 plans to facilitate the repurchase of its shares under this authorization. The Company did not repurchase any shares for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020.2022. The remaining amount authorized to be repurchased under the program as of September 30, 20212022 was approximately $80.0 million.

The following table summarizes our common share repurchases for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2021:
