EXPLANATORY NOTE
This report combines the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 of CBL & Associates Properties, Inc. and CBL & Associates Limited Partnership. Unless stated otherwise or the context otherwise requires, references to the "Company" mean CBL & Associates Properties, Inc. and its subsidiaries. References to the "Operating Partnership" mean CBL & Associates Limited Partnership and its subsidiaries. The terms "we," "us" and "our" refer to the Company or the Company and the Operating Partnership collectively, as the context requires.
The Company is a real estate investment trust ("REIT") whose stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange. The Company is the 100% owner of two qualified REIT subsidiaries, CBL Holdings I, Inc. and CBL Holdings II, Inc. At SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, CBL Holdings I, Inc., the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, owned a 1.0% general partner interest in the Operating Partnership and CBL Holdings II, Inc. owned an 84.8% limited partner interest for a combined interest held by the Company of 85.8%.
As the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, the Company's subsidiary, CBL Holdings I, Inc., has exclusive control of the Operating Partnership's activities. Management operates the Company and the Operating Partnership as one business. The management of the Company consists of the same individuals that manage the Operating Partnership. The Company's only material asset is its indirect ownership of partnership interests of the Operating Partnership. As a result, the Company conducts substantially all its business through the Operating Partnership as described in the preceding paragraph. The Company also issues public equity from time to time and guarantees certain debt of the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership holds all of the assets and indebtedness of the Company and, through affiliates, retains the ownership interests in the Company's joint ventures. Except for the net proceeds of offerings of equity by the Company, which are contributed to the Operating Partnership in exchange for partnership units on a one-for-one basis, the Operating Partnership generates all remaining capital required by the Company's business through its operations and its incurrence of indebtedness.
We believe that combining the two quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the Company and the Operating Partnership provides the following benefits:
enhances investors' understanding of the Company and the Operating Partnership by enabling investors to view the business as a whole in the same manner that management views and operates the business;
eliminates duplicative disclosure and provides a more streamlined and readable presentation, since a substantial portion of the disclosure applies to both the Company and the Operating Partnership; and
creates time and cost efficiencies through the preparation of one combined report instead of two separate reports.
To help investors understand the differences between the Company and the Operating Partnership, this report provides separate condensed consolidated financial statements for the Company and the Operating Partnership. Noncontrolling interests, shareholders' equity and partners' capital are the main areas of difference between the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company and those of the Operating Partnership. A single set of notes to condensed consolidated financial statements is presented that includes separate discussions for the Company and the Operating Partnership, when applicable. A combined Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section is also included that presents combined information and discrete information related to each entity, as applicable.
In order to highlight the differences between the Company and the Operating Partnership, this report includes the following sections that provide separate financial and other information for the Company and the Operating Partnership:
condensed consolidated financial statements;
certain accompanying notes to condensed consolidated financial statements, including Note 5 - Unconsolidated Affiliates Redeemable Interests,and Noncontrolling Interests and Cost Method Investments;Interests; Note 6 - Mortgage and Other Indebtedness;Indebtedness, Net; Note 7 - Comprehensive Income; and Note 11 - Earnings per Share and Earnings per Unit;
controls and procedures in Item 4 of Part I of this report;
information concerning unregistered sales of equity securities and use of proceeds in Item 2 of Part II of this report; and
certifications of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer included as Exhibits 31.1 through 32.4.

Note 2 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Accounting Guidance Adopted
In February 2015,March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting ("ASU 2016-09"). ASU 2016-09 identifies areas for simplification of accounting for share-based payment transactions. ASU 2016-09 allows an entity to make an accounting policy election to either (1) recognize forfeitures as they occur or (2) continue to estimate the number of awards expected to be forfeited. The Company elected to account for forfeitures of share-based payments as they occur. As the amount of the retrospective adjustment was nominal, the Company elected not to record the change. See Note 13 for further information on the adoption of this guidance. The guidance also requires that when an employer withholds shares upon the vesting of restricted shares for the purpose of meeting tax withholding requirements, that the cash paid for withholding taxes is classified as a financing activity on the statement of cash flows. The Company previously included these amounts within operating activities. For public companies, ASU 2016-09 was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016 including interim periods within that reporting period and was to be applied on a modified retrospective basis as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the date of adoption. The Company adopted ASU 2016-09 as of January 1, 2017 and it did not have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The change in the Company's condensed consolidated statements of cash flows related to the prior-year periods is as follows:

(2)Subsequent to adoption of ASU 2016-09.
In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-17, Interests Held Through Related Parties That Are under Common Control, ("ASU 2016-17") which amended the consolidation guidance in ASU 2015-02, Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis ("("ASU 2015-02"). The guidance modified, to change how a reporting entity that is a single decision maker of a VIE should consider indirect interests in a VIE held through related parties that are under common control with the evaluation ofentity when determining whether limited partnerships and similar legal entities are VIEs or voting interest entities, eliminated the presumption that a general partner should consolidate a limited partnership and affected the evaluation of fee arrangements and related party relationships init is the primary beneficiary determination.of the VIE. ASU 2016-17 simplifies the analysis to require consideration of only an entity's proportionate indirect interest in a VIE held through a party under common control. For public companies, ASU 2015-022016-17 was effective for annual periodsfiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015 and2016 including interim periods therein. The guidance was applied retrospectively to all periods in fiscal year 2016, which is the period in which ASU 2015-02 was adopted by the Company. The Company adopted ASU 2016-17 as of January 1, 2017 and it did not have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, Clarifying the Definition of a Business, ("ASU 2017-01"), which provides a more narrow definition of a business to be used in determining the accounting treatment of an acquisition. Under ASC 805, Business Combinations, the Company generally accounted for acquisitions of shopping center properties as acquisitions of a business. Under ASU 2017-01, more acquisitions are expected to be accounted for as acquisitions of assets. Transaction costs for asset acquisitions are capitalized while those related to business acquisitions are expensed. For public companies, ASU 2017-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods therein and is to be applied prospectively to any transactions occurring within those years using either a retrospective or a modified retrospective approach.the period of adoption. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2017-01 as of January 1, 2017. The Company expects most of its future acquisitions of shopping center properties will be accounted for as acquisitions of assets in accordance with the guidance in ASU 2017-01.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-03, Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to Staff Announcements at the September 22, 2016 and November 17, 2016 EITF Meetings, ("ASU 2017-03"), which provides guidance related to the disclosure of the potential impact that the adoption of ASU 2015-02 resulted in the identification2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASU 2014-09"); ASU 2016-02, Leases ("ASU 2016-02") and ASU 2016-13, Measurement of several VIEs as discussed inCredit Losses on Financial Instruments Note 5 but did not alter any of the Company's consolidation conclusions. The adoption of the guidance did not("ASU 2016-13") could have an impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements other thanstatements. ASU 2017-03 was effective upon issuance and the additionalCompany has incorporated this guidance within its current disclosures.
Accounting Guidance Not Yet Effective
Revenue Recognition guidance and implementation update
In May 2014, the FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board jointly issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASU 2014-09").2014-09. The objective of this converged standard is to enable financial statement users to better understand and analyze revenue by replacing current transaction and industry-specific guidance with a more principles-based approach to revenue recognition. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that the entity expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance also requires additional disclosure about the nature, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts. ASU 2014-09 applies to all contracts with customers except those that are within the scope of other guidance such as lease and insurance contracts. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers - Deferral of the Effective Date, ("ASU 2015-14") which allows an additional one year deferral of ASU 2014-09. As a result, ASU 2014-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within those years using one of two retrospective application methods. Early adoption would be permitted only for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within those years. In March 2016,As the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, Revenuemajority of the Company's revenue is derived from Contracts with Customers - Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net) ("ASU 2016-08"). real estate lease contracts, the Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company expects to adopt the guidance in ASU 2016-08 clarifiesusing the implementationmodified retrospective approach, which requires a cumulative effect adjustment as of ASU 2014-09 on principal versus agent considerationthe date of the Company's adoption, which will be January 1, 2018.and has
The following updates, which are effective as of the same effective date as ASU 2014-09 as deferred by ASU 2015-14. During the quarter ended June 30, 2016,2015-14, were issued by the FASB issued ASU 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers - Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing, ASU 2016-11, Rescission of SEC Guidance Because of Accounting Standards Updates 2014-09 and 2014-16 Pursuant to Staff Announcements at the March 3, 2016 EITF Meeting, and ASU 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers - Narrow Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients. These amendments are intended to improve and clarify the implementation of the revenue guidance:

The Company's revenues largely consist of income earned from leasing, which approximated 95% of the Company's revenues over the three-year period ended December 31, 2016. Other revenue streams primarily include earnings from third-party management and joint venture contracts in addition to marketing income and financing fees. As part of the implementation process, the Company completed an initial review to ascertain which contracts are in the scope of the revenue guidance noted above. For those contracts in scope, these were evaluated using the prescribed five-step method which included the identification of ASU 2014-09the contract and haveperformance obligations, determining the same effective date as ASU 2014-09, as deferred by ASU 2015-14. The Company is evaluatingtransaction price, allocating the impact that these updates may havetransaction price to performance obligations and recognizing revenue.

Once the contract review is complete, the Company will provide an estimate of the expected modified retrospective adjustment that will be booked as well as additional disclosures.

Leasing guidance and implementation update
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases("ASU 2016-02").2016-02. The objective of ASU 2016-02 is to increase transparency and comparability by recognizing lease assets and liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. Under ASU 2016-02, lessees will be required to recognize a right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms greater than 12 months. The guidance applied by a lessor under ASU 2016-02 is substantially similar to existing GAAP. For public companies, ASU 2016-02 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted. Lessees and lessors are required to use a modified retrospective transition method for all leases existing at, or entered into after, the date of initial application. Accordingly, they would apply the new accounting model for the earliest year presented in the financial statements. A number of practical expedients may also be elected. The Company is evaluatinghas done a preliminary assessment and continues to evaluate the potential impact that this updatethe guidance may have on its condensed consolidated

financial statements and related disclosures. It is considering the practicality of adopting ASU 2016-02 concurrently with the adoption of ASU 2014-09 as the standards overlapdisclosures and concurrent adoption would align them if ASU 2016-02 was adopted as of January 1, 2018. If early adoption is not practicable, the Company wouldwill adopt ASU 2016-02 as of January 1, 2019.
In March 2016,As a lessor, the Company expects substantially all leases will continue to be classified as operating leases under the new leasing guidance. Under the new guidance, certain common area maintenance ("CAM") recoveries must be accounted for as non-lease components under the new revenue guidance. The FASB issuedclarified in June 2017 that entities, which do not adopt ASU 2016-09, Improvements2016-02 concurrently with the new revenue recognition guidance, will only be required to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting ("ASU 2016-09"). ASU 2016-09 identifies areas for simplification of accounting for share-based payment transactions, including income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, an option to recognize gross stock compensation expense with actual forfeitures recognized as they occur, as well as certain classifications on the statement of cash flows. For public companies, ASU 2016-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016 including interim periods within that reporting period and may be applied on a modified retrospective basisevaluate CAM as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings asnon-lease component for new leases executed after the effective date, which would be January 1, 2019 for the Company. The Company is evaluating how the bifurcation of CAM may affect the datetiming or recognition of adoption. Early adoption is permitted. Thecertain lease revenues. Additionally, the Company expects to adopt ASU 2016-09 asexpense certain deferred lease costs due to the narrowed definition of indirect costs that may be capitalized. As a lessee, the Company has 11 ground lease arrangements in which the Company is the lessee for land. As of June 30, 2017, these ground leases have future contractual payments of approximately $15,346 with maturity dates ranging from January 1, 2017 and is currently assessing the potential impact of adopting the new guidance on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.2019 through July 2089.
Other Guidance
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments ("ASU 2016-13").2016-13. The objective of ASU 2016-13 is to provide financial statement users with information about expected credit losses on financial assets and other commitments to extend credit by a reporting entity. The guidance replaces the current incurred loss impairment model, which reflects credit events, with a current expected credit loss model, which recognizes an allowance for credit losses based on an entity's estimate of contractual cash flows not expected to be collected. For public companies that are SEC filers, ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The guidance is to be applied on a modified retrospective basis. The Company expectsplans to adopt ASU 2016-13 as of January 1, 2020 and is evaluating the impact that this update may have on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments ("ASU 2016-15"). The objective of ASU 2016-15 is to reduce diversity in practice in the classification of certain items in the statement of cash flows, including the classification of distributions received from equity method investees. For public companies, ASU 2016-15 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The guidance is to be applied on a retrospective basis. The Company expectsplans to adopt ASU 2016-15 as of January 1, 2018 and does not expect the guidance to have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Restricted Cash, ("ASU 2016-18") to address diversity in practice related to the classification and presentation of changes in restricted cash. The update requires a reporting entity to explain the change in the total of cash, cash equivalents and amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts on the statement of cash flows. For public companies, ASU 2016-18 is effective on a retrospective basis for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods therein. Early adoption is permitted. The Company plans to adopt the update as of January 1, 2018 and does not expect ASU 2016-18 to have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
In February 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-05, Clarifying the Scope of Asset Derecognition Guidance and Accounting for Partial Sales of Nonfinancial Assets ("ASU 2017-05"), which will apply to the partial sale or transfer of nonfinancial assets, including real estate assets, to unconsolidated joint ventures. ASU 2017-05 requires 100% of the gain or loss to be recognized for nonfinancial assets transferred to an unconsolidated joint venture and any noncontrolling interest received in such nonfinancial assets to be measured at fair value. ASU 2017-05 has the same effective date as ASU 2014-09, as deferred by ASU 2015-14, and is effective for the Company on January 1, 2018.  ASU 2017-05 is to be applied using either a full or modified retrospective transition method. This adjustment will (1) mark investments in unconsolidated joint ventures to fair value as of the date of contribution to the unconsolidated joint ventures, and (2) recognize the remainder of the gain or loss associated with transferring the assets to the unconsolidated joint venture. The Company is in the process of determining which method to use for the application of this guidance and is identifying transactions related to the partial sale of real estate assets in prior periods that it expects the guidance in ASU 2017-05 will impact. The Company expects the application of this guidance will result in higher gains due to the requirement to recognize 100% of the gain on the sale of the partial interest and record the retained noncontrolling interest at fair value.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Scope of Modification Accounting ("ASU 2017-09") which provides guidance on the types of changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award to which an entity would be required to apply modification accounting under ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation. ASU 2017-09 is effective for public companies on a prospective basis to awards modified on or after the adoption date for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods therein. Early adoption is permitted. The Company plans to adopt the update as of January 1, 2018 and does not expect ASU 2017-09 to have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
Note 3 – Fair Value Measurements

The Company has categorized its financial assets and financial liabilities that are recorded at fair value into a hierarchy in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC")ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure, ("ASC 820") based on whether the inputs to valuation techniques are observable or unobservable.  The fair value hierarchy contains three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value as follows:

Level 1 – Inputs represent quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities as of the measurement date.

Level 2 – Inputs, other than those included in Level 1, represent observable measurements for similar instruments in active markets, or identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and observable measurements or market data for instruments with substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3 – Inputs represent unobservable measurements, supported by little, if any, market activity, and require considerable assumptions that are significant to the fair value of the asset or liability.  Market valuations must often be determined using discounted cash flow methodologies, pricing models or similar techniques based on the Company’s assumptions and best judgment.

The asset or liability's fair value within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Under ASC 820, fair value measurements are determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability in an orderly transaction at the measurement date and under current market conditions. Valuation techniques used maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and consider assumptions such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions and risk of nonperformance.

Fair Value Measurements on a Recurring Basis
The following table sets forth information regarding the Company’s financial instruments that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2015. The interest rate swaps matured April 1, 2016:

The Company recognizes transfers in and out of every level at the end of each reporting period. There were no transfers between Levels 1, 2, or 3 for any periods presented.
The Company uses interest rate swaps to mitigate the effect of interest rate movements on its variable-rate debt.  The Company had four interest rate swaps as December 31, 2015, that qualified as hedging instruments and were designated as cash flow hedges.  The interest rate swaps were reflected in accounts payable and accrued liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.  The swaps met the effectiveness test criteria since inception and changes in their fair values were, thus, reported in other comprehensive income (loss) ("OCI/L") and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged items affected earnings.  The fair values of the Company’s interest rate hedges, classified under Level 2, were determined based on prevailing market data for contracts with matching durations, current and anticipated LIBOR information, consideration of the Company’s credit standing, credit risk of the counterparties and reasonable estimates about relevant future market conditions.  See Note 6 for further information regarding the Company’s interest rate hedging instruments.
The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities are reasonable estimates of their fair values because of the short-term nature of these financial instruments.  Based on the interest rates for similar financial instruments, the carrying value of mortgage and other notes receivable is a reasonable estimate of fair value.  The estimated fair value of mortgage and other indebtedness was $4,799,363$4,488,714 and $4,945,622$4,737,077 at SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and December 31, 2015,2016, respectively.  The fair value was calculated using Level 2 inputs by discounting future cash flows for mortgage and other indebtedness using estimated market rates at which similar loans would be made currently. The carrying amount of net mortgage and other indebtedness was $4,531,269$4,249,440 and $4,710,628$4,465,294 at SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and December 31, 2015,2016, respectively.    
Fair Value Measurements on a Nonrecurring Basis
The Company measures the fair value of certain long-lived assets on a nonrecurring basis, through quarterly impairment testing or when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. The Company considers both quantitative and qualitative factors in its impairment analysis of long-lived assets. Significant quantitative factors include historical and forecasted information for each property such as net operating income ("NOI"), occupancy statistics and sales levels. Significant qualitative factors used include market conditions, age and condition of the property and tenant mix. Due to the significant unobservable estimates and assumptions used in the valuation of long-lived assets that experience impairment, the Company classifies such long-lived assets under Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

Variable Interest Entities
AsIn accordance with the guidance in ASU 2015-02 and ASU 2016-17, as discussed in Note 2, effective January 1, 2016, the Company adopted ASU 2015-02. As a result, the Operating Partnership and certain of ourits subsidiaries are deemed to have the characteristics of a VIE primarily because the limited partners of these entities do not collectively possess substantive kick-out or participating rights. However, theThe Company adopted ASU 2015-02 as of January 1, 2016 and ASU 2016-17 was not required to consolidate any previously unconsolidated entities or deconsolidate any previously consolidated entitiesadopted as of January 1, 2017 on a result of the change in classification. Accordingly, themodified retrospective basis. The adoption of ASU 2016-17 did not change any of the Company's consolidation conclusions made under ASU 2015-02 affected disclosure only and did not change amounts within the condensed consolidated financial statements.
The Company consolidates the Operating Partnership, which is a VIE, for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. The Company, through the Operating Partnership, consolidates all VIEs for which it is the primary beneficiary. Generally, a VIE is a legal entity in which the equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or the equity investors lack sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support. A limited

partnership is considered a VIE when the majority of the limited partners unrelated to the general partner possess neither the right to remove the general partner without cause, nor certain rights to participate in the decisions that most significantly affect the financial results of the partnership. In determining whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of a VIE, the Company considers qualitative and quantitative factors, including, but not limited to: which activities most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and which party controls such activities; the amount and characteristics of the Company's investment; the obligation or likelihood for the Company or other investors to provide financial support; and the similarity with and significance to ourthe Company's business activities and the business activities of the other investors.

Interest Rate HedgeHedging Instruments
The Company records itsrecorded derivative instruments in its condensed consolidated balance sheets at fair value.  The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative, whether the derivative has been designated as a hedge and, if so, whether the hedge has met the criteria necessary to apply hedge accounting.
The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives arewere to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements.  To accomplish these objectives, the Company primarily usesused interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy.  Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involveinvolved the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount.  
The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that was designated as, and that qualifyqualified as, cash flow hedges iswas recorded in AOCIaccumulated other comprehensive income (loss) ("AOCI/L") and isthen subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affectsaffected earnings.  Such derivatives were used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with variable-rate debt.
The Company's outstanding interest rate derivatives, that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk, matured on April 1, 2016.  The following tables provide further information relating to the Company’s interest rate derivatives that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk in 2016:

In accordance with the Sales Agreements, the Company sets the parameters for the sales of shares, including the number of shares to be issued, the time period during which sales are to be made and any minimum price below which sales may not be made. The Sales Agreements provide that the sales agents are entitled to compensation for their services at a mutually agreed commission rate not to exceed 2.0% of the gross proceeds from the sales of shares sold through the ATM program. For each share of common stock issued by CBL, the Operating Partnership issues a corresponding number of common units of limited partnership interest to CBL in exchange for the contribution of the proceeds from the stock issuance. The Company includes only share issuances that have settled in the calculation of shares outstanding at the end of each period.
The Company has not sold any shares under the ATM program since 2013. Since the commencement of the ATM program, CBL has issued 8,419,298 shares of common stock, at a weighted-average sales price of $25.12 per share, and approximately $88,507 remains available that may be sold under this program as of SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2017. Actual future sales under this program, if any, will depend on a variety of factors including but not limited to market conditions, the trading price of CBL's common stock and the Company's capital needs. The Company has no obligation to sell the remaining shares available under the ATM program.
Common Stock Repurchase Program
In July 2015, CBL's Board of Directors authorized a common stock repurchase program, which expired on August 31, 2016. Under the program, the Company could purchase up to $200,000 of CBL's common stock from time to time, in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, depending on market prices and other conditions. The Company was not obligated to repurchase any shares of stock under the program. No shares were repurchased under this program prior to its expiration.
Note 11 – Earnings per Share and Earnings per Unit
Earnings per Share of the Company
Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income attributable to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS assumes the issuance of common stock for all potential dilutive common shares outstanding. The limited partners’ rights to convert their noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership into shares of common stock are not dilutive.
The following summarizes the impact ofThere were no potential dilutive common shares onand there were no anti-dilutive shares for the denominator used to compute EPS:

Earnings per Unit of the Operating Partnership
Basic earnings per unit (“EPU”) is computed by dividing net income attributable to common unitholders by the weighted-average number of common units outstanding for the period. Diluted EPU assumes the issuance of common units for all potential dilutive common units outstanding.

Note 12 – Contingencies
Litigation
The Company is currently involved in certain litigation that arises in the ordinary course of business, most of which is expected to be covered by liability insurance. Management makes assumptions and estimates concerning the likelihood and amount of any potential loss relating to these matters using the latest information available. The Company records a liability for litigation if an unfavorable outcome is probable and the amount of loss or range of loss can be reasonably estimated. If an unfavorable outcome is probable and a reasonable estimate of the loss is a range, the Company accrues the best estimate within the range. If no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount, the Company accrues the minimum amount within the range. If an unfavorable outcome is probable but the amount of the loss cannot be reasonably estimated, the Company discloses the nature of the litigation and indicates that an estimate of the loss or range of loss cannot be made. If an unfavorable outcome is reasonably possible and the estimated loss is material, the Company discloses the nature and estimate of the possible loss of the litigation. Based on current expectations, such matters, both individually and in the aggregate, are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the liquidity, results of operations, business or financial condition of the Company.
On May 27, 2016, Tommy French filed a putative class action in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee on behalf of himself and all persons who purchased the Company's common stock between August 8, 2013 and May 24, 2016. Two additional suits were filed shortly thereafter with similar allegations. On June 9, 2016, The Allan J. and Sherry R. Potts Living Trust filed a putative class action in the same Court on behalf of the trust and all persons who purchased the Company's common stock between August 8, 2013 and May 24, 2016, and on June 24, 2016, International Union of Painters & Allied Trades District Council No. 35 Pension Plan filed another putative class action in the same Court on behalf of itself and all persons who purchased the Company's common stock between August 9, 2011 and May 24, 2016, containing similar allegations. On July 26, 2016, motions were submitted to the Court for the consolidation of these three cases, as well as for the appointment of a lead plaintiff. On September 26, 2016, the Court granted the motion, consolidated the cases into one action, and appointed the New Mexico Educational Retirement Board as lead plaintiff and its counsel, Bernstein Liebhard, as lead counsel. The Court granted the lead plaintiff 60 days to file a consolidated amended complaint, and once filed, the Company will file a response. The previously filed complaints are all based on substantially similar allegations that certain of the Company’s financing arrangements were obtained through fraud and/or misrepresentation, and that the Company and certain of its officers and directors made materially misleading statements to the market by failing to disclose material information concerning these alleged misrepresentations, and concerning the supposed involvement by insiders of the Company in alleged trading in the Company’s stock by a United States senator on the basis of material nonpublic information. Based on these allegations, these complaints assert claims for violation of the securities laws and seek a variety of relief, including unspecified monetary damages as well as costs and attorneys’ fees. The Company believes these complaints are without merit and intends to defend itself vigorously.
On July 29, 2016, Henry Shebitz filed a shareholder derivative suit in the Chancery Court for Hamilton County, Tennessee alleging that the Company's directors, three former directors and certain current and former officers breached their fiduciary duties by causing the Company to make materially misleading statements to the market by failing to disclose material information concerning these alleged misrepresentations, and concerning the supposed involvement by insiders of the Company in alleged trading in the Company’s stock by a United States senator on the basis of material nonpublic information. The complaint further alleges that certain of the Company's current and former officers and directors improperly engaged in transactions in the Company’s stock while in possession of material nonpublic information concerning the Company’s alleged misleading statements. The complaint purports to seek relief on behalf of the Company for unspecified damages as well as costs and attorneys’ fees. The Company believes that this complaint is without merit and intends to defend against it vigorously.    
Environmental Contingencies
The Company evaluates potential loss contingencies related to environmental matters using the same criteria described above related to litigation matters. Based on current information, an unfavorable outcome concerning such environmental matters, both individually and in the aggregate, is considered to be reasonably possible. However, the Company believes its maximum potential exposure to loss would not be material to its results of operations or financial condition. The Company has a master

insurance policy that provides coverage through 2022 for certain environmental claims up to $10,000 per occurrence and up to $50,000 in the aggregate, subject to deductibles and certain exclusions. At certain locations, individual policies are in place.
Guarantees
The Operating Partnership may guarantee the debt of a joint venture primarily because it allows the joint venture to obtain funding at a lower cost than could be obtained otherwise. This results in a higher return for the joint venture on its investment, and a higher return on the Operating Partnership’s investment in the joint venture. The Operating Partnership may receive a fee from the joint venture for providing the guaranty. Additionally, when the Operating Partnership issues a guaranty, the terms of the joint venture agreement typically provide that the Operating Partnership may receive indemnification from the joint venture partner or have the ability to increase its ownership interest. The guarantees expire upon repayment of the debt, unless noted otherwise.

The following table represents the Operating Partnership's guarantees of unconsolidated affiliates' debt as reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as of SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and December 31, 2015:2016:

The guaranty was removed in June 2016 when the construction loan was retired using proceeds from a non-recourse mortgage loan. See Note 5 for additional information.
(5)The guaranty will be reduced to 50% on March 1st1 of such year as payment-in-lieu of taxes ("PILOT") payments received and attributed to the prior calendar year by Ambassador Infrastructure and delivered to the lender are $1,200 or more, provided no event of default exists. The guaranty will be reduced to 20% when the PILOT payments are $1,400 or more, provided no event of default exists.
(6)(5)The loan has two one-year extension options, which are at the unconsolidated affiliate's election, for an outside maturity date of December 2019.
The Company has guaranteed the lease performance of York Town Center, LP ("YTC"), an unconsolidated affiliate in which the Company owns a 50% interest, under the terms of an agreement with a third party that owns property as part of York Town Center. Under the terms of that agreement, YTC is obligated to cause performance of the third party’s obligations as landlord under its lease with its sole tenant, including, but not limited to, provisions such as co-tenancy and exclusivity requirements. Should YTC fail to cause performance, then the tenant under the third party landlord’s lease may pursue certain remedies ranging from rights to terminate its lease to receiving reductions in rent. The Company has guaranteed YTC’s performance under this agreement up to a maximum of $22,000, which decreases by $800 annually until the guaranteed amount is reduced to $10,000. The guaranty expires on December 31, 2020.  The maximum guaranteed obligation was $14,800$14,000 as of SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2017.  The Company entered into an agreement with its joint venture partner under which the joint venture partner has agreed to reimburse the Company 50% of any amounts it is obligated to fund under the guaranty.  The Company did not include an obligation for this guaranty because it determined that the fair value of the guaranty was not material as of SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and December 31, 2015.2016.
Performance Bonds
The Company has issued various bonds that it would have to satisfy in the event of non-performance. The total amount outstanding on these bonds was $14,274$17,141 and $16,452$21,446 at SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and December 31, 2015,2016, respectively. 
Note 13 – Share-Based Compensation
As of SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, there were twowas one share-based compensation plansplan under which the Company has outstanding awards, the CBL & Associates Properties, Inc. 2012 Stock Incentive Plan ("the 2012 Plan") and the CBL & Associates Properties, Inc. Second Amended and Restated Stock Incentive Plan ("the 1993 Plan"). The Company can only make new awards under the 2012 Plan,, which was approved by the Company's shareholders in May 2012. The 2012 Plan permits the Company to issue stock options and common stock to selected officers, employees and non-employee directors of the Company up to a total of 10,400,000 shares. The Company did not issue any new awards under the 1993 Plan, which was approved by the Company's shareholders in May 2003, between the adoption of the 2012 Plan to replace the 1993 Plan in May 2012 and the termination of the 1993 Plan (as to new awards) on May 5, 2013. As the primary operating subsidiary

of the Company, the Operating Partnership participates in and bears the compensation expense associated with the Company's share-based compensation plans.

The Company adopted ASU 2016-09 effective January 1, 2017 as described in Note 2. In accordance with the provisions of ASU 2016-09, which are designed to simplify the accounting for share-based payments transactions, the Company elected to account for forfeitures of share-based payments as they occur rather than continuing to estimate them in advance. The Company elected not to record a cumulative effect adjustment as the impact of estimated forfeitures on the Company's cumulative share-based compensation expense recorded through December 31, 2016 was nominal.
Restricted Stock Awards
The Company may make restricted stock awards to independent directors, officers and its employees under the 2012 Plan. These awards are generally granted based on the performance of the Company and its employees. None of these awards have performance requirements other than a service condition of continued employment, unless otherwise provided. Compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period.
Share-based compensation expense related to the restricted stock awards was $886$933 and $692$707 for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and 2015,2016, respectively, and $2,834$2,363 and $3,615$1,948 for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and 2015,2016, respectively. Share-based compensation cost capitalized as part of real estate assets was $83$85 and $60$77 for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and 2015,2016, respectively, and $274$214 and $213$191 for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and 2015,2016, respectively.
A summary of the status of the Company’s nonvested restricted stock awards as of SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, and changes during the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, is presented below:

Long-Term Incentive Program
In 2015, the Company adopted a long-term incentive program ("LTIP") for its named executive officers, which consists of performance stock unit ("PSU") awards and annual restricted stock awards, that may be issued under the 2012 Plan. The number of shares related to the PSU awards that each named executive officer may receive upon the conclusion of a three-year performance period is determined based on the Company's achievement of specified levels of long-term total stockholder return ("TSR") performance relative to the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") Retail Index, provided that at least a "Threshold" level must be attained for any shares to be earned. Shares earned pursuant to the PSU awards vest 60% at the conclusion of the performance period while the remaining 40% of the PSU award vests 20% on each of the first two anniversaries thereafter.
Annual Restricted Stock Awards
Under the LTIP, annual restricted stock awards consist of shares of time-vested restricted stock awarded based on a qualitative evaluation of the performance of the Company and the named executive officer during the fiscal year. Annual restricted stock awards under the LTIP vest 20% on the date of grant with the remainder vesting in four equal annual installments.

In February 2016, the Company granted 282,995 PSUs at a grant-date fair value of $4.98 per PSU. In March 2015, the Company granted 138,680 PSUs at a grant-date fair value of $15.52 per PSU.
Compensation cost is recognized on a tranche-by-tranche basis using the accelerated attribution method. The resulting expense is recorded regardless of whether any PSU awards are earned as long as the required service period is met. Share-based compensation expense related to the PSUs was $258$385 and $156$258 for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and 2015,2016, respectively. Share-based compensation expense related to the PSUs was $774$729 and $468$516 for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and 2015,2016 respectively. Unrecognized compensation costs related to the PSUs was $2,163$2,934 as of SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2017.

The award is modeled as a contingent claim in that the expected return on the underlying shares is risk-free and the rate of discounting the payoff of the award is also risk-free. The weighted-average fair value per share related to the 2017 PSUs consists of 115,082 shares at a fair value of $5.62 per share and 162,294 shares at a fair value of $7.74 per share.
(2)The risk-free interest rate was based on the yield curve on zero-coupon U.S. Treasury securities in effect as of the valuation date.

Note 15 – Income Taxes
The Company is qualified as a REIT under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. To maintain qualification as a REIT, the Company is required to distribute at least 90% of its taxable income to shareholders and meet certain other requirements.
As a REIT, the Company is generally not liable for federal corporate income taxes. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, the Company will be subject to federal and state income taxes on its taxable income at regular corporate tax rates and it may not be able to qualify as a REIT for four subsequent years. Even if the Company maintains its qualification as a REIT, the Company may be subject to certain state and local taxes on its income and property, and to federal income and

excise taxes on its undistributed income. State tax expense was $700$957 and $895$997 during the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and 2015,2016, respectively, and $2,724$1,829 and $2,715$2,025 during the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and 2015,2016, respectively.
The Company has also elected taxable REIT subsidiary status for some of its subsidiaries.  This enables the Company to receive income and provide services that would otherwise be impermissible for REITs. For these entities, deferred tax assets and liabilities are established for temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of assets and liabilities at the enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences reverse. A valuation allowance for deferred tax assets is provided if the Company believes all or some portion of the deferred tax asset may not be realized. An increase or decrease in the valuation allowance resulting from changes in circumstances that may affect the realizability of the related deferred tax asset is included in income or expense, as applicable.
The Company recorded an income tax benefit (provision) as follows for the three and ninesix month periods ended SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and 2015:2016:

Note 16 – Subsequent Events
In October 2016, the CompanyJuly 2017, JG Gulf Coast Town Center, a 50/50 unconsolidated joint venture, retired the operating propertya loan secured by Southaven Townephase three of Gulf Coast Town Center, which had a balance of $38,314 at September 30, 2016, with borrowings on its lines of credit. The loan$4,118 and was scheduled to mature in JanuaryJuly 2017.
In July 2017, the Company exercised its option to extend the maturity date of its $350,000 unsecured term loan to October 2018.
In July 2017, the Company closed on the modification and boreextension of its $400,000 unsecured term loan, with an increase in the principal balance to $490,000. The variable interest rate spread remains unchanged. In July 2018, the principal balance will be reduced to $300,000. Additionally, the debt covenant related to the maximum ratio of unsecured indebtedness to unencumbered asset value was modified to reduce the ratio from 62.5% to 60.0%. The definition of unencumbered asset value was also modified with respect to the assets that are included in the unencumbered asset pool. The loan will mature in July 2020 and has two one-year extension options, the second of which is at the lenders' discretion, for a fixed-rateJuly 2022 extended maturity date.
For consistency, the changes to the debt covenant noted above were also made to the Company's two unsecured credit facilities that each have a total capacity of 5.5%.$500,000 and to the Company's $350,000 unsecured term loan in July 2017. The ratio of unsecured indebtedness to unencumbered asset value may vary over time and could potentially limit the Company's ability to access the full capacity of its unsecured credit facilities. As of June 30, 2017, the Company's ability to utilize its total borrowing capacity would have been limited by $196,888 under the modified covenant compared to $33,539, under the existing covenant. The effect of this change to the debt covenant does not impact the Company's past compliance with this ratio.
In July 2017, the Company modified its $50,000 unsecured term loan to reduce the principal balance to $45,000 and change the interest rate to a variable rate of LIBOR plus 165 basis points. The loan will mature in June 2021 and has a one-year extension option, at the Company's election, for a June 2022 extended maturity date.
In August 2017, River Ridge Mall JV, LLC, a subsidiary of the Company, entered into a binding contract to sell its 25% interest in River Ridge Mall, located in Lynchburg, VA, to its joint venture partner for $9,000 in cash. The Company recorded a $5,843 loss on investment related to the pending disposition. The sale is expected to close in the third quarter of 2017.

Third quarter 2016 continuedNet income for the three months ended June 30, 2017 was $70.6 million compared to showcase$73.1 million in the positive results from our portfolio transformation and disposition program that we announced in our April 2014 investor call. To date, we have closed or have in process 17 mall transactions,prior-year period, representing a valuedecrease of over $700 million. We have a binding contract to sell three malls for $32.3 million. Although we experienced a net loss3.4% for the quarterquarter. Net income for the six months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016 due primarily2017 was $109.1 million compared to $115.0 million in the prior-year period, representing a $53.6 million loss on impairment, which was primarily to write down these three malls to their fair value, we are better positioneddecrease of 5.1% for long-term growth as the quality of our portfolio evolves. The results of this process are evident as we note that back in 2014, approximately 22% of our total mall NOI was derived from Tier 3 malls, which we define as malls with sales of less than $300 per square foot. In contrast, our Tier 3 malls currently represent only approximately 7% of our total mall NOI. Ongoing expansions, redevelopments and select development projects also contribute to the strengthening of our portfolio. We also sold two malls, a community center and an office building during the quarter.

We recorded a net lossincome attributable to common shareholders of $10.2$30.2 million and $53.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $51.7 million and $80.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016. Net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2016and year-to-date period, as compared to net incomethe prior-year period, was down primarily due to gains recognized in equity in earnings from the sale of $26.3 millionseveral unconsolidated affiliates in 2016. Revenues were also down for the quarter ended September 30, 2015, which was primarily related to the loss on impairment discussed above. For the ninethree and six months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016, we had net2017 as consumer spending lagged and the challenging retail environment continued. Net income of $70.4 million compared to $92.0 million forand revenues were also impacted by the nine months ended September 30, 2015.dilution from asset sales. Same-center NOI (see below) grew 2.6%decreased 1.3% for the quarter and 1.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2017, primarily due to revenue declines driven by lower occupancy increases and higher base rentstenant sales, which were partially offset by lower real estate taxes and maintenance and repairs expense.
Earnings per share attributable to common shareholders were $0.18 and $0.31 per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, as well as savingscompared to $0.30 and $0.47 per share for the same periods in operating costs. We realized a 1.8% increase in2016. FFO as adjusted, per diluted share (see below) decreased to $0.57 per share$0.58 and $1.12 for the quarterthree and an increase of 6.8% for the year-to-date period to $1.72 per sharesix months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, as compared to $0.73 and $1.41 for the prior-year period.three and six months ended June 30, 2016. FFO was negatively impacted by dilution from asset sales completed in the prior year and current year-to-date periods, abandoned projects expense and the revenue declines noted above, although an increase in average annual base rents and operating cost efficiencies helped partially offset some of these unfavorable variances.
LeasingSecond quarter results were in-line with expectations given the adverse retail climate. We continue to focus on leasing efforts to deliver replacement income for vacated spaces from tenant store closings as well as diversify our tenant mix. The Outlet Shoppes at Laredo opened in April 2017. We also are progressing in our plans for anchor redevelopments related to the Sears and Macy's stores that were acquired earlier in the year. For leases signed in the second quarter of 2017, leasing spreads for comparable space under 10,000 square feet declined approximately 0.9% on average for our stabilized malls, were 10.2% for leases signedwhich included an increase of 8.1% in the third quarter of 2016, including a 7.3% increase in renewal spreads, and new lease spreads were 19.7%.and a decrease of 3.5% in renewal lease spreads. For the trailing twelve months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, stabilized mall same-center sales decreased 0.5%2.4% to $377$373 per square foot as compared to $379$382 per square foot in the prior-year period.

Average annual base rents per square foot for our same-center stabilized malls increased to $32.06$33.00 compared to $31.41$32.41 in the prior-year period.

We sold two malls and one outlet center during the quarter for an aggregate gross sales price of $183.5 million and recorded a gain on sales of real estate assets of $77.4 million. We also recognized a $29.2 million gain on extinguishment of debt upon the foreclosure of Chesterfield Mall in June 2017 in settlement of the non-recourse debt that it secured. Subsequent to June 30, 2017, we modified and extended two unsecured term loans and reached a preliminary agreement to modify and extend the loan secured by Acadiana Mall. We also exercised an option to extend our $350.0 million unsecured term loan to October 2018. We continue to focus on strengthening our balance sheet to take advantage of opportunities for future growth as well as reinvest in our current portfolio.

See Note 316 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.
Other expensesEquity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates decreased $3.2by $85.0 million due to $2.0 million of abandoned projects that were expensed induring the prior-year quarter and a $1.2 million decrease in expenses related to our subsidiary that provides security and maintenance services to third parties.
Other Income and Expenses
Interest expense decreased $2.2 million for the threesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 compared to the prior-year period. The $2.2 million decrease consists of $1.8 million attributable to the Comparable Properties and $0.4 million related to dispositions. The $1.8 million decrease related to the Comparable Properties consists of a decrease of $3.2 million attributable to core properties, which was partially offset by an increase of $1.4 million in accrued default interest related to three malls that are in foreclosure proceedings. Interest expense related to property-level debt declined $2.9 million from the retirement of secured debt with borrowings from our lines of credit. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in interest expense related to our corporate-level debt as our lines of credit and a new $350.0 million unsecured term loan entered into in the fourth quarter of 2015 were used to retire property-level debt.
The income tax benefit of $2.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 relates to the Management Company, which is a taxable REIT subsidiary, and consists of a current and deferred tax benefit of $0.9 million and $1.5 million.  During the three months ended September 30, 2015, we recorded an income tax provision of $0.4 million, consisting of a current tax provision of less than $0.7 million and a deferred tax benefit of $0.2 million.
Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates increased by $7.0 million during the third quarter of 2016 compared to the prior-year period. The increase is primarily due to the sale of High Pointe Commons, a community center owned in a 50/50 joint venture. See Note 5 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for more information.
In the third quarter of 2016, we recognized a $4.9 million gain on sales of real estate assets, primarily related to the sale of six outparcels. We recognized a $3.2 million gain on sales of real estate assets in the third quarter of 2015 which consisted primarily of $2.8 million from the sale of an associated center and $0.4 million related to the sale of an outparcel.

Comparison of the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2016 to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2015
Revenues
Total revenues decreased $7.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to the prior-year period.  Rental revenues and tenant reimbursements decreased by $5.3 million primarily due to a decrease of $19.5 million related to dispositions, which was partially offset by increases of $7.9 million related to the Comparable Properties and $6.2 million attributable to the New Properties. The $7.9 million increase in revenue at our Comparable Properties primarily consists of a $10.1 million increase related to our core properties partially offset by a decrease of $2.2 million attributable to non-core properties. Positive leasing spreads and increases in base rents from occupancy gains led to increases in minimum and percentage rents, while increases in occupancy and annual contractual increases contributed to the increase in tenant reimbursements leading to the $10.1 million increase at our core properties.
Our cost recovery ratio for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was 100.1% compared with 99.6% for the prior-year period.

The increase of $2.6 million in management, development, financing and leasing fees for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to the prior-year period was primarily attributable to an increase of $1.4 million in management fees from new contracts to manage six malls and one community center for third parties, an increase of $1.0 million from financing fees related to the loans secured by Ambassador Town Center, Fremaux Town Center and Hamilton Place, which closed in June 2016, and an increase of $0.4 million in development fees.
Other revenues decreased $4.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to the prior-year period primarily due to a decrease in revenue related to our subsidiary that provides security and maintenance services to third parties.
Operating Expenses
Total operating expenses increased $108.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to the prior-year period.  The increase was primarily due to impairment of real estate as described below.  Property operating expenses, including real estate taxes and maintenance and repairs, decreased $2.9 million primarily due to decreases of $5.1 million attributable to dispositions, partially offset by increases of $1.3 million related to the New Properties and $0.9 million attributable to the Comparable Properties. The $0.9 million increase at our Comparable Properties was primarily driven by increases in bad debt expense, maintenance and repairs expense, and real estate taxes. These increases were partially offset by decreases in payroll and related costs, marketing costs and utilities expense.
The decrease in depreciation and amortization expense of $1.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to the prior-year period resulted from decreases of $4.3 million attributable to dispositions and $0.6 million related to the Comparable Properties, which were partially offset by an increase of $3.9 million related to the New Properties. The $0.6 million decrease attributable to the Comparable Properties was due to a decrease of $2.1 million from our non-core properties, which was partially offset by increases of $1.3 million related to our core properties and $0.2 million attributable to developments.
General and administrative expenses increased $0.4 million. General and administrative expenses in the nine months ended September 30, 2016 include $1.8 million of non-recurring professional fees expense (which represent one-time expenses that are not part of our normal operations) related to the recently completed SEC investigation and $2.3 million of expense related to litigation settlements. After considering the impact of these items, general and administrative expenses decreased approximately $3.7 million as compared to the prior-year period primarily due to decreases in consulting and information technology expenses related to process and technology improvements completed in the prior-year period, as well as a decrease in payroll and related expenses. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in travel expenses and a decrease in capitalized overhead related to development projects.
In the nine months ended September 30, 2016, we recognized impairments of real estate of $116.7 million to write down the book value of nine malls, an associated center, a community center, three office buildings and three outparcels. In the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we recognized impairment of real estate of $3.7 million, of which $2.6 million related to the disposition of one mall in the second quarter of 2015, $0.9 million was from the sale of two outparcels and $0.2 million related to the sale of a building at a formerly owned mall. See Note 3 and Note 4 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.
Other expenses decreased $0.9 million due to $2.1 million of abandoned projects that were expensed in the prior-year period, partially offset by a $1.3 million increase in expenses related to our subsidiary that provides security and maintenance services to third parties.
Other Income and Expenses
Interest and other income decreased $5.2 million compared to the prior-year period primarily due to $4.9 million received in the prior year as a partial settlement of a lawsuit.
Interest expense decreased $11.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to the prior-year period. The $11.7 million decrease consists of $10.9 million attributable to the Comparable Properties and $0.7 million related to dispositions. The $10.9 million decrease related to the Comparable Properties primarily consists of a decrease of $12.2 million attributable to core properties, partially offset by an increase of $1.4 million in accrued default interest related to three malls that are in foreclosure proceedings. Interest expense related to property-level debt declined $15.7 million from the retirement of secured debt with borrowings from our lines of credit and net proceeds from dispositions. We also recognized a $1.2 million decrease in expense related to our interest rate swaps, which matured in April 2016. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in interest expense related to our corporate-level debt as our lines of credit and a new $350.0 million unsecured term loan entered into in the fourth quarter of 2015 were used to retire property-level debt.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we recorded a gain on extinguishment of debt of $0.3 million due to the early retirement of a mortgage loan.
We recorded a gain on investment of $16.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 related to the sale of all of our available-for-sale securities.

The income tax benefit of $3.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 relates to the Management Company, which is a taxable REIT subsidiary, and consists of a current and deferred tax benefit of $1.2 million and $1.8 million.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we recorded an income tax provision of $2.0 million, consisting of a current tax provision of $2.1 million and a deferred tax benefit of $0.1 million.
Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates increased by $95.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to the prior-year period. The increase is primarily due to a gain of $29.2 million related to the foreclosure of Gulf Coast Town Center (owned in a 50/50 joint venture) million and $63.7$55.8 million from the sale of threetwo unconsolidated affiliates in 2016. See Note 5

Non-GAAP Measure
Same-center Net Operating Income
NOI is a supplemental non-GAAP measure of the operating performance of our shopping centers and other properties. We define NOI as property operating revenues (rental revenues, tenant reimbursements and other income) less property operating expenses (property operating, real estate taxes and maintenance and repairs).
We compute NOI based on the Operating Partnership's pro rata share of both consolidated and unconsolidated properties. We believe that presenting NOI and same-center NOI (described below) based on our Operating Partnership’s pro rata share of both consolidated and unconsolidated properties is useful since we conduct substantially all of our business through our Operating Partnership and, therefore, it reflects the performance of the properties in absolute terms regardless of the ratio of ownership interests of our common shareholders and the noncontrolling interest in the Operating Partnership. Our definition of NOI may be different than that used by other companies, and accordingly, our calculation of NOI may not be comparable to that of other companies.
Since NOI includes only those revenues and expenses related to the operations of our shopping center properties, we believe that same-center NOI provides a measure that reflects trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, sales at the malls and operating costs and the impact of those trends on our results of operations. Our calculation of same-center NOI excludes lease termination income, straight-line rent adjustments, and amortization of above and below market lease intangibles in order to enhance the comparability of results from one period to another.
We include a property in our same-center pool when we have owned all or a portion of the property since January 1 of the preceding calendar year and it has been in operation for both the entire preceding calendar year and current year-to-date period. New Properties are excluded from same-center NOI, until they meet this criteria. Properties excluded from the same-center pool that would otherwise meet this criteria are properties which are being repositioned or properties where we are considering alternatives for repositioning, where we intend to renegotiate the terms of the debt secured by the related property or return the property to the lender and those in which we own a minoritynoncontrolling interest of 25% or less. Lender properties consisted of Chesterfield Mall, Midland Mall and Wausau Center was classified as a Lender Mall as of SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2017. Properties that we are currently repositioning are Cary Towne Center and Hickory Point Mall at SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2017. Properties in which we own a minoritynoncontrolling interest at SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 include Triangle Town Center Triangle Town Place and River Ridge Mall.

Due to the exclusions noted above, same-center NOI should only be used as a supplemental measure of our performance and not as an alternative to GAAP operating income (loss) or net income (loss). A reconciliation of our same-center NOI to net income for the three and ninesix month periods ended SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and 20152016 is as follows (in thousands):

The growthdecline in revenues for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 was driven by increasesdecreases of 2.1% in average annual base rents and 0.9%1.5% in occupancy in our same-center mall portfolio. These increases were partially offset by a moderation in sales growth as we experienced a slight decrease of 0.5%portfolio and 2.4% in stabilized mall same-center sales per square foot for the rolling 12-month period ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016. Holiday sales forecasts published2017. These decreases were partially offset by industry organizations, suchan increase of 1.8% in average annual base rents for our same-center stabilized malls as of June 30, 2017 as compared to the National Retail Federation and International Council of Shopping Centers, generally project a positive holiday sales season leading us to be cautiously optimistic.

prior-year period.
Operational Review
The shopping center business is, to some extent, seasonal in nature with tenants typically achieving the highest levels of sales during the fourth quarter due to the holiday season, which generally results in higher percentage rents in the fourth quarter. Additionally, the malls earn most of their rents from short-term tenants during the holiday period. Thus, occupancy levels and revenue production are generally the highest in the fourth quarter of each year. Results of operations realized in any one quarter may not be indicative of the results likely to be experienced over the course of the fiscal year.
We classify our regional malls into three categories:
(1)Stabilized mallsMalls – Malls that have completed their initial lease-up and have been open for more than three complete calendar years.

(2)Non-stabilized mallsMalls - Malls that are in their initial lease-up phase. After three complete calendar years of operation, they are reclassified on January 1 of the fourth calendar year to the stabilized mall category. The Outlet Shoppes at Laredo and The Outlet Shoppes of the Bluegrass were classified as non-stabilized malls as of June 30, 2017. The Outlet Shoppes of the Bluegrass and The Outlet Shoppes at Atlanta were classified as non-stabilized malls as of SeptemberJune 30, 2016. The Outlet Shoppes of the Bluegrass, The Outlet Shoppes at Atlanta and Fremaux Town Center were classified as non-stabilized malls as of September 30, 2015.
(3)Excluded mallsMalls - We exclude malls from our core portfolio if they fall in the following categories, for which operational metrics are excluded:
a.Lender PropertiesMalls - PropertiesMalls for which we are working or intend to work with the lender on a restructure of the terms of the loan secured by the property or convey the secured property to the lender. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017, Wausau Center was classified as a Lender Mall. As of June 30, 2016, Chesterfield Mall, Midland Mall and Wausau Center were classified as Lender Properties. AsMalls. The foreclosures of September 30, 2015, Gulf Coast Town Center, Triangle Town CenterMidland Mall and Triangle Town PlaceChesterfield Mall were classified as Lender Properties.

In the second quarter of 2016, the foreclosure of Gulf Coast Town Center was complete.2017, respectively. Lender PropertiesMalls are excluded from our same-center pool as decisions made while in discussions with the lender may lead to metrics that do not provide relevant information related to the condition of these properties or they may be under cash management agreements with the respective servicers.
b.Repositioning PropertiesMalls - PropertiesMalls that are currently being repositioned or where we have determined that the current format of the propertymall no longer represents the best use of the propertymall and we are in the process of evaluating alternative strategies for the property.mall. This may include major redevelopment or an alternative retail or non-retail format, or after evaluating alternative strategies for the property,mall, we may determine that the propertymall no longer meets our criteria for long-term investment. The steps taken to reposition these properties,malls, such as signing tenants to short-term leases, which are not included in occupancy percentages, or leasing to regional or local tenants, which typically do not report sales, may lead to metrics which do not provide relevant information related to the condition of these properties.malls. Therefore, traditional performance measures, such as occupancy percentages and leasing metrics, exclude Repositioning Properties.Malls. Cary Towne Center and Hickory Point areMall were classified as Repositioning Properties as of September 30, 2016.

The associated debt on these properties was restructured in conjunction with the sale. The Company also sold a 75% interest in River Ridge Mall to a new joint venture in March 2016. See Note 5 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for more information on these unconsolidated affiliates.

The 37.9% decrease in leases signed during the three months ended September 30, 2016 is a timing difference as we signed 67.0% more leases in the second quarter of 2016 as compared to the same period in the prior year. We have finalized our negotiations with the new owners of Aeropostale and after closing several stores, we ended the third quarter with 58 stores. In January 2017, an additional 9 stores will close and rents at certain locations will be reduced. We estimate the gross rent impact in 2017 from these additional store closures and lease modifications will approximate $3.0 million.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES    
As of SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, we had approximately $439.0$181.1 million outstanding on our three unsecured credit facilities leaving approximately $661.0$885.4 million of availability. Our borrowing rate continues to improve as we refinance maturing loans at lower interest rates. We have also used proceeds realized from dispositions to reduce balances on our credit lines, which had been used to retire secured property-level debt. In the thirdsecond quarter of 2016,2017, we retired the $51.6three loans with an aggregate principal balance of $61.6 million loan secured by Dakota Square Mall with borrowings from our lines of credit and the $38.2 million loan secured by Fashion Square was assumed by the buyer in conjunction with the sale of The Outlet Shoppes at Oklahoma City for $130.0 million. Our consolidated unencumbered properties generated approximately 52.3% of total consolidated NOI for the mall.six months ended June 30, 2017 (excluding dispositions and Excluded Malls). We have one mall in the foreclosure process, which we anticipate will be completed during the third quarter of 2017. We recognized a $29.2 million gain on extinguishment of debt related to the foreclosure of Chesterfield Mall in June 2017. In May 2017, we also closed on the sale of two Tier 3 malls, College Square and Foothills Mall, which generated gross proceeds of $53.5 million.
Subsequent to June 30, 2017, we extended and modified two unsecured term loans. We also modified our two unsecured credit facilities, that each have a capacity of $500.0 million, and our $350.0 million unsecured term loan to modify a debt covenant for consistency with the modification of our $400.0 million unsecured term loan. See Note 16 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for details. We also retired two loansthe $4.1 million unconsolidated loan secured by unconsolidated properties,the third phase of which our pro rata share of the debt aggregated to $16.6 million and hadGulf Coast Town Center, entered into a weighted-average interest rate of 6.25%. In addition to realizing a gain of $8.4 million from the sale of High Pointe Commons, a 50/50 joint venture, we used a portion of the proceeds to retire $17.4 million of debt at our share. Total pro rata debt has decreased by $460 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 as compared to the prior-year period as a result of our continued efforts to deleverage our balance sheet. We anticipate further improvement of $189.6 million when the three malls in receivership are returned to the respective lenders in satisfaction of the non-recourse debt. We are also in negotiationspreliminary agreement with the lender to modify and extend the maturity of the $70.8 million loan secured by Greenbrier Mall. Subsequent to September 30, 2016, we used availability on our credit facilities to retire the $38.3 million loan secured by Southaven Towne Center, which was scheduled to matureAcadiana Mall in JanuaryJuly 2017 and hadexercised an option to extend our $350.0 million term loan to October 2018. In August 2017, we entered into a binding contract to sell our remaining 25% interest ratein River Ridge Mall to our joint venture partner for $9.0 million in cash. A $5.8 million loss on

investment was recorded in the second quarter of 5.5%. Our priorities are2017 in conjunction with the impending sale, which is expected to continueclose in the progress we have made to enhance our credit metrics, grow EBITDA and reduce debt. We have also made significant progress in growing and improving the quality of our unencumbered pool of assets. As we have retired secured loans by utilizing unsecured borrowings and disposition proceeds, our consolidated unencumbered NOI has increased to 48% of our total consolidated NOI as of September 30, 2016 from 29% as of December 31, 2013.third quarter.
We derive a majority of our revenues from leases with retail tenants, which have historically been the primary source for funding short-term liquidity and capital needs such as operating expenses, debt service, tenant construction allowances, recurring capital expenditures, dividends and distributions. We believe that the combination of cash flows generated from our operations, combined with our debt and equity sources and the availability under our credit facilities and proceeds from dispositions will, for the foreseeable future, provide adequate liquidity to meet our cash needs.  In addition to these factors, we have options available to us to generate additional liquidity, including but not limited to, debt and equity offerings, joint venture investments, issuances of noncontrolling interests in our Operating Partnership, and decreasing expenditures related to tenant construction allowances and other capital expenditures. We also generate revenues from sales of peripheral land at our properties and from sales of real estate assets when it is determined that we can realize an optimal value for the assets.

Cash Provided by Operating Activities
Cash provided by operating activities decreased $20.3$8.8 million primarily due to decreasesthe impact of lower occupancy on revenues, partially offset by reductions in operating expenses, and the operating cash flows from dispositions and timing differences related to working capital itemsof the properties that were disposed of in 2016.
Cash Provided by Investing Activities
Cash flows provided by investing activities decreased $16.7 million as compared to the prior-year period. These decreases were partially offset byThe cash flows provided by investing activities in 2016 related primarily to proceeds from the growthsales of real estate assets and distributions in same-center NOI, cash flows from New Properties and lower cash paid for interest as we continued our strategyexcess of retiring higher-rate secured debt with lower-rate unsecured debt.

Cash Used in Financing Activities
Cash flows used in financing activities increased by $281.9decreased $51.9 million as compared to the prior-year period. In 2017, we usedutilized our lines of credit to acquire the Macy's and Sears' locations for $79.8 million and to retire four operating property loans totaling $159.7 million. These borrowings were partially offset by a prepayment fee of $8.5 million from the early retirement of the loans which were paid off in conjunction with the sale of an outlet center and a higher amount of distributions to noncontrolling interests as we distributed our partner’s share of the net proceeds from the sale of one property. In 2016 we utilized a greater amount of proceeds from sales of consolidated and unconsolidated properties to reduce borrowingsthe outstanding balances on our lines of credit. Additionally, the prior year period included borrowings of $192.0 million to acquire Mayfaire Town Center.

Debt
Debt of the Company
CBL has no indebtedness. Either the Operating Partnership or one of its consolidated subsidiaries, that it has a direct or indirect ownership interest in, is the borrower on all of our debt. CBL is a limited guarantor of the Notes, issued by the Operating Partnership in November 2013, and October 2014 and December 2016, respectively, for losses suffered solely by reason of fraud or willful misrepresentation by the Operating Partnership or its affiliates. We also provide a similar limited guarantee of the Operating Partnership's obligations with respect to our unsecured credit facilities and three unsecured term loans as of SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2017.

Equity
During the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, we paid dividends of $169.4$113.0 million to holders of CBL's common stock and preferred stock, as well as $35.7$41.2 million in distributions to the noncontrolling interest investors in the Operating Partnership and other consolidated subsidiaries. The Operating Partnership paid distributions of $33.7$22.4 million and $160.2$106.4 million on the preferred units and common units, respectively, as well as distributions of $11.2$25.4 million to the noncontrolling interests in other consolidated subsidiaries.
In the third quarter of 2016, we elected to pay cash of $11.6 million to a holder of 950,000 common units in the Operating Partnership upon the exercise of its conversion rights. In the second quarter of 2016, we elected to pay cash of $0.1 million to three holders of 14,796 common units in the Operating Partnership upon the exercise of their conversion rights.
On August 24, 2016, we announced a third quarter 2016 common stock dividend of $0.265 per share payable in cash that was payable on October 14, 2016. On June 2, 2016,2017, we announced a second quarter 20162017 common stock dividend of $0.265 per share payable in cash that was paid on July 15, 2016.17, 2017.

Future dividends payable will be determined by our Board of Directors based upon circumstances at the time of declaration. Our dividend payout ratio was 54.6% and 53.5% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively.
As a publicly traded company and, as a subsidiary of a publicly traded company, we have access to capital through both the public equity and debt markets. We currently have a shelf registration statement on file with the SEC authorizing us to publicly issue senior and/or subordinated debt securities, shares of preferred stock (or depositary shares representing fractional interests therein), shares of common stock, warrants or rights to purchase any of the foregoing securities, and units consisting of two or more of these classes or series of securities and limited guarantees of debt securities issued by the Operating Partnership.  Pursuant to the shelf registration statement, the Operating Partnership is also authorized to publicly issue unsubordinated debt securities. There is no limit to the offering price or number of securities that we may issue under this shelf registration statement.
At-The-Market Equity Program
On March 1, 2013, we entered into Sales Agreements with a number of sales agents to sell shares of CBL's common stock, having an aggregate offering price of up to $300.0 million, from time to time through an ATM program. In accordance with the Sales Agreements, we will set the parameters for the sales of shares, including the number of shares to be issued, the time period during which sales are to be made and any minimum price below which sales may not be made. The Sales Agreements provide that the sales agents arewill be entitled to compensation for their services at a mutually agreed commission rate not to exceed 2.0% of the gross proceeds from the sales of shares sold through the ATM program. For each share of common stock issued by CBL, the Operating Partnership issues a corresponding number of common units of limited partnership interest to CBL in exchange for the contribution of the proceeds from the stock issuance. We include only share issuances that have settled in ourthe calculation of shares outstanding at the end of each period.

We have not sold any shares under the ATM program since 2013. The net proceeds from the ATM sales were used to reduce the balances on our credit facilities. Since the commencement of the ATM program, CBL has issued 8,419,298 shares of common stock, at a weighted-average sales price of $25.12 per share, and approximately $88.5 million remains available that may be sold under this program.program as of June 30, 2017. Actual future sales under this program, if any, will depend on a variety of factors including but not

limited to market conditions, the trading price of CBL's common stock and our capital needs. We have no obligation to sell the remaining shares available under the ATM program.
Common Stock Repurchase Program
In July 2015, CBL's Board of Directors authorized a common stock repurchase program, which expired on August 31, 2016. Under the program, we could purchase up to $200.0 million of CBL's common stock from time to time, in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, depending on market prices and other conditions. We were not obligated to repurchase any shares of stock under the program. No shares were repurchased under this program prior to its expiration.
Debt-To-Total Market Capitalization
Our strategy is to maintain a conservative debt-to-total-market capitalization ratio in order to enhance our access to the broadest range of capital markets, both public and private. Based on our share of total consolidated and unconsolidated debt and the market value of equity, our debt-to-total-market capitalization (debt plus market value of equity) ratio was 62.3%67.4% at SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, compared to 61.9%67.2% at SeptemberJune 30, 2015. The increase in the debt-to-market capitalization ratio is primarily due to a decrease in CBL's stock price to $12.14 at September 30, 2016 from $13.75 at September 30, 2015.2016. Our debt-to-marketdebt-to-total-market capitalization ratio at SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 was computed as follows (in thousands, except stock prices):

Capital Expenditures
Deferred maintenance expenditures are generally billed to tenants as common area maintenance expense, and most are recovered over a 5 to 15-year period. Renovation expenditures are primarily for remodeling and upgrades of malls, of which a portion is recovered from tenants over a 5 to 15-year period.  We recover these costs through fixed amounts with annual increases or pro rata cost reimbursements based on the tenant’s occupied space.
The following table, which excludes expenditures for developments and expansions, summarizes these capital expenditures, including our share of unconsolidated affiliates' capital expenditures, for the three and ninesix month periodperiods ended SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 compared to the same periodperiods in 20152016 (in thousands):

Our total investment in renovations that are scheduled for 20162017 is projected to be $15.0$10.2 million, which includes approximately $7.0 million, at our share, of a $13.8 million renovation at CoolSprings Galleria in Nashville, TNexterior and floor renovations, as well as other eco-friendly green renovations. Annual capital expenditures budgets are prepared for each of our properties that are intended to provide for all necessary recurring and non-recurring capital expenditures. We believe that property operating cash flows, which include reimbursements from tenants for certain expenses, will provide the necessary funding for these expenditures.
Developments and Expansions
Since 2013, we have completed or have under construction over 20 redevelopment projects which represent an investment of approximately $250 million at our share with an average return of 8.5%.

We began constructionare working on plans for the three Macy's locations which were purchased in January 2017 as well as the third quarter on several redevelopments. These include the addition of T. J. Maxx at Hickory Point Mall and a Planet Fitness that will open by year-end at East Towne Mall.
Additionally, anchor redevelopment projects are under construction at several malls. These projects involve former departmentfive Sears' stores which we gained control of in a sales-leaseback transaction. We expect to announce more substantive plans for several locations later this year as leases are finalized. These asset acquisitions afford us the opportunity to revitalize these spaces with a new mix of tenantsreinvent and enhance the value oftransition our properties. We proactively negotiated a lease termination last yearproperties into suburban town centers designed to obtain the former JC Penney space at College Square. We are replacing a former Shopko with a Dunham's Sporting Goods store at Northpark Mall and redeveloping the former JC Penney at York Galleria, which will include Gold's Gym, H&M and additional stores and restaurants.appeal to evolving consumer preferences.
We own land and hold options to acquire certain development properties owned by third parties.  Except for the projects presented above, we do not have any other material capital commitments as of SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2017.    
Acquisitions and Dispositions
See Note 4 and Note 5 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for a description of our acquisition and disposition activity related to consolidated and unconsolidated affiliates.    
Gain on Extinguishment of Debt
In June 2017, we recognized a gain on extinguishment of debt of $29.2 million upon the transfer of Chesterfield Mall to the lender in satisfaction of the non-recourse debt secured by the mall, which had a principal balance of $140.0 million. We also recognized a gain on extinguishment of debt of $3.8 million upon the transfer of Midland Mall in January 2017 to the lender in satisfaction of the non-recourse debt secured by the mall, which had a principal balance of $32.0 million. These gains were partially offset by an $8.5 million loss on extinguishment of debt from prepayment fees for the early retirement of debt related to three loans secured by The Outlet Shoppes at Oklahoma City, which were retired in conjunction with its sale in April 2017.
Loss on Investment
Subsequent to June 30, 2017, River Ridge Mall JV, LLC, a subsidiary of the Company, entered into a binding contract to sell its 25% interest in River Ridge Mall, located in Lynchburg, VA, to its joint venture partner for $9.0 million in cash. The Company recorded a $5.8 million loss on investment related to the pending disposition. The sale is expected to close in the third quarter of 2017.
Impairment of Real Estate Assets
During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we recorded a loss on impairment of $46.5 million which primarily relates to one mall, a parcel project near an outlet mall and one outparcel. See Note 3 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for more information.

Gain on Sales of Real Estate Assets
During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we recognized an $85.5 million gain on sales of real estate assets, primarily related to the sale of two malls, an outlet center and six outparcels.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Unconsolidated Affiliates
We have ownership interests in 17 unconsolidated affiliates as of SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 that are described in Note 5 to the condensed consolidated financial statements. The unconsolidated affiliates are accounted for using the equity method of accounting and are reflected in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as “Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates.”  The following are circumstances when we may consider entering into a joint venture with a third party:
Third parties may approach us with opportunities in which they have obtained land and performed some pre-development activities, but they may not have sufficient access to the capital resources or the development and leasing expertise to bring the project to fruition. We enter into such arrangements when we determine such a project is viable and we can achieve a satisfactory return on our investment. We typically earn development fees from the joint venture and provide management and leasing services to the property for a fee once the property is placed in operation.
We determine that we may have the opportunity to capitalize on the value we have created in a property by selling an interest in the property to a third party. This provides us with an additional source of capital that can be used to develop or acquire additional real estate assets that we believe will provide greater potential for growth. When we retain an interest in an asset rather than selling a 100% interest, it is typically because this allows us to continue to manage the property, which provides us the ability to earn fees for management, leasing, development and financing services provided to the joint venture.
Guarantees
We may guarantee the debt of a joint venture primarily because it allows the joint venture to obtain funding at a lower cost than could be obtained otherwise. This results in a higher return for the joint venture on its investment, and a higher return on our investment in the joint venture. We may receive a fee from the joint venture for providing the guaranty. Additionally, when we issue a guaranty, the terms of the joint venture agreement typically provide that we may receive indemnification from the joint venture or have the ability to increase our ownership interest.

The following table represents our guarantees of unconsolidated affiliates' debt as reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as of SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and December 31, 20152016 (in thousands):

Hammock Landing - Phase II, respectively.
(3)The loan has a one-year extension option, which is at the unconsolidated affiliate's election, for an outside maturity date of February 2019.
(4)
The guaranty was removed in June 2016 when the construction loan was retired using proceeds from a non-recourse mortgage loan. See Note 5 to the condensed consolidated financial statements or additional information.
(5)The guaranty will be reduced to 50% on March 1st1 of such year as PILOT payments received and attributed to the prior calendar year by Ambassador Infrastructure and delivered to the lender are $1,200 or more, provided no event of default exists. The guaranty will be reduced to 20% when the PILOT payments are $1,400 or more, provided no event of default exists.
(6)(5)The loan has two one-year extension options, which are the unconsolidated affiliate's election, for an outside maturity date of December 2019.

We have guaranteed the lease performance of YTC, an unconsolidated affiliate in which we own a 50% interest, under the terms of an agreement with a third party that owns property as part of York Town Center. Under the terms of that agreement, YTC is obligated to cause performance of the third party’s obligations as landlord under its lease with its sole tenant, including, but not limited to, provisions such as co-tenancy and exclusivity requirements. Should YTC fail to cause performance, then the tenant under the third party landlord’s lease may pursue certain remedies ranging from rights to terminate its lease to receiving reductions in rent. We have guaranteed YTC’s performance under this agreement up to a maximum of $22.0 million, which decreases by $0.8 million annually until the guaranteed amount is reduced to $10.0 million. The guaranty expires on December 31, 2020.  The maximum guaranteed obligation was $14.8$14.0 million as of SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2017.  We entered into an agreement with our joint venture partner under which the joint venture partner has agreed to reimburse us 50% of any amounts we are obligated to fund under the guaranty.  We did not include an obligation for this guaranty because we determined that the fair value of the guaranty was not material as of SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and December 31, 2015.2016.        
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Our discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based on our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the financial statements and disclosures. Some of these estimates and assumptions require application of difficult, subjective, and/or complex judgment about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and that may change in subsequent periods. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20152016 contains a discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates in the Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section.

There have been no material changes to these policies and estimates during the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2017. Our significant accounting policies are disclosed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K10‑K for the year ended December 31, 2015.2016.

Deflation can result in a decline in general price levels, often caused by a decrease in the supply of money or credit.  The predominant effects of deflation are high unemployment, credit contraction and weakened consumer demand.  Restricted lending practices could impact our ability to obtain financings or refinancings for our properties and our tenants’ ability to obtain credit.  Decreases in consumer demand can have a direct impact on our tenants and the rents we receive.
During inflationary periods, substantially all of our tenant leases contain provisions designed to mitigate the impact of inflation.  These provisions include clauses enabling us to receive percentage rent based on tenants' gross sales, which generally increase as prices rise, and/or escalation clauses, which generally increase rental rates during the terms of the leases.  In addition, many of the leases are for terms of less than 10 years, which may provide us the opportunity to replace existing leases with new leases at higher base and/or percentage rent if rents of the existing leases are below the then existing market rate.  Most of the leases require the tenants to pay a fixed amount, subject to annual increases, for their share of operating expenses, including common area maintenance, real estate taxes, insurance and certain capital expenditures, which reduces our exposure to increases in costs and operating expenses resulting from inflation.
Non-GAAP Measure
Funds from Operations
FFO is a widely used non-GAAP measure of the operating performance of real estate companies that supplements net income (loss) determined in accordance with GAAP. NAREIT defines FFO as net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP) excluding gains or losses on sales of depreciable operating properties and impairment losses of depreciable properties, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures and noncontrolling interests. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships, joint ventures and noncontrolling interests are calculated on the same basis. We define FFO as defined above by NAREIT less dividends on preferred stock of the Company or distributions on preferred units of the Operating Partnership, as applicable. Our method of calculating FFO may be different from methods used by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs.

We believe that FFO provides an additional indicator of the operating performance of our properties without giving effect to real estate depreciation and amortization, which assumes the value of real estate assets declines predictably over time. Since values of well-maintained real estate assets have historically risen with market conditions, we believe that FFO enhances investors’ understanding of our operating performance. The use of FFO as an indicator of financial performance is influenced not only by the operations of our properties and interest rates, but also by our capital structure.
We present both FFO allocable to Operating Partnership common unitholders and FFO allocable to common shareholders, as we believe that both are useful performance measures.  We believe FFO allocable to Operating Partnership common unitholders is a useful performance measure since we conduct substantially all of our business through our Operating Partnership and, therefore, it reflects the performance of the properties in absolute terms regardless of the ratio of ownership interests of our common shareholders and the noncontrolling interest in our Operating Partnership.  We believe FFO allocable to common shareholders is a useful performance measure because it is the performance measure that is most directly comparable to net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders.
In our reconciliation of net income attributable to common shareholders to FFO allocable to Operating Partnership common unitholders that is presented below, we make an adjustment to add back noncontrolling interest in income (loss) of our Operating Partnership in order to arrive at FFO of the Operating Partnership common unitholders.  We then apply a percentage to FFO of the Operating Partnership common unitholders to arrive at FFO allocable to common shareholders. The percentage is computed by taking the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period and dividing it by the sum of the weighted-average number of common shares and the weighted-average number of Operating Partnership units held by noncontrolling interests during the period.     
FFO does not represent cash flows from operations as defined by GAAP, is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund all cash flow needs and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) for purposes of evaluating our operating performance or to cash flow as a measure of liquidity.performance.
FFO, as adjusted, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 grew 1.8% and 6.8%, respectively, to $0.57 and $1.72 per share compared to the prior-year periods. The increase in FFO, as adjusted, for the three and nine month periods

ended September 30, 2016, was primarily due to rent growth and occupancy increases in the same-center pool as well as contributions from new developments and interest rate savings. This growth was partially offset by dilution from asset sales completed year-to-date.
FFO, as adjusted, during the three months ended September 30, 2016, excludes $0.7 million of nonrecurring professional fees expense, $0.6 million of litigation expense, $1.1 million of equity in losses from the disposals of unconsolidated affiliates and $1.4 million of non-cash default interest expense. Additionally, during the nine months ended September 30, 2016, we recognized a $54.5 million increase in equity earnings, of which $27.9 million related to the foreclosure of the loan secured by Gulf Coast Town Center and $26.4 million related to the sale of our 50% interest in Triangle Town Center; $2.3 million of litigation expense and $1.8 million of nonrecurring professional fees expense. During the three months ended September 30, 2015, we recognized $0.3 million of expense related to a litigation settlement and a $0.3 million gain on extinguishment of debt. Additionally, during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 we recognized a $16.6 million gain on investment related to the sale of marketable securities, a $0.3 million gain on extinguishment of debt and received income of $1.3 million, net of related expense, as a partial settlement of ongoing litigation. Considering the significance and nature of these items, we believeCompany believes that it is important to identify the impact of these changescertain significant items on ourits FFO measures for a reader to have a complete understanding of ourthe Company’s results of operations. Therefore, we havethe Company has also presented adjusted FFO measures excluding these significant items from the applicable periods. Please refer to the reconciliation of net income attributable to common shareholders to FFO allocable to Operating Partnership common unitholders below for a description of these adjustments.
FFO of the Operating Partnership decreased 20.9% to $116.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to $146.7 million for the prior-year period, and decreased 21.2% to $222.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to $282.7 million for the prior-year period. Excluding the adjustments noted below, FFO of the Operating Partnership, as adjusted, decreased 15.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2017 to $99.7 million compared to $118.6 million for the same period in 2016, and decreased 11.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2017 to $202.7 million compared to $229.9 million for the same period in 2016. The decrease in FFO, as adjusted, excluding these items.was primarily driven by dilution from asset sales in the prior year and the current year-to-date period and $5.0 million of abandoned projects expense in the current year periods. FFO, as adjusted, for the current year periods was also impacted by higher interest expense, less gains on outparcel sales and lower revenues resulting from lower occupancy and bankruptcies.

ITEM 3:    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are exposed to various market risk exposures, including interest rate risk. The following discussion regarding our risk management activities includes forward-looking statements that involve risk and uncertainties.  Estimates of future performance and economic conditions are reflected assuming certain changes in interest rates.  Caution should be used in evaluating our overall market risk from the information presented below, as actual results may differ.  We employ various derivative programs to manage certain portions of our market risk associated with interest rates.  See Note 6 of the notes to condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussions of the qualitative aspects of market risk, including derivative financial instrument activity.

Interest Rate Risk
Based on our proportionate share of consolidated and unconsolidated variable-rate debt at SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, a 0.5% increase or decrease in interest rates on variable-rate debt would decrease or increase annual cash flows by approximately $6.8$5.7 million and $2.1$1.8 million, respectively, and increase or decrease annual interest expense, after the effect of capitalized interest, by approximately $6.7$5.6 million and $2.0$1.6 million, respectively.
Based on our proportionate share of total consolidated and unconsolidated debt at SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, a 0.5% increase in interest rates would decrease the fair value of debt by approximately $77.3$83.0 million, while a 0.5% decrease in interest rates would increase the fair value of debt by approximately $80.4$85.8 million. 

ITEM 4:    Controls and Procedures
 Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, an evaluation was performed under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer and with the participation of our management, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's and the Operating Partnership's disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company's and the Operating Partnership's disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information that the Company and the Operating Partnership are required to disclose in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms and to ensure that information we are required to disclose is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in the Company's or the Operating Partnership's internal control over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.


PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
 
ITEM 1:    Legal Proceedings
We are currently involved in certain litigation that arises in the ordinary course of business, most of which is expected to be covered by liability insurance. Based on current expectations, such matters, both individually and in the aggregate, are not expected to have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, results of operations, business or financial condition.
On May 27, 2016, Tommy French filed a putative class action in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee on behalf of himself and all persons who purchased our common stock between August 8, 2013 and May 24, 2016. Two additional suits were filed shortly thereafter with similar allegations. On June 9, 2016, The Allan J. and Sherry R. Potts Living Trust filed a putative class action in the same Court on behalf of the trust and all persons who purchased our common stock between August 8, 2013 and May 24, 2016, and on June 24, 2016, International Union of Painters & Allied Trades District Council No. 35 Pension Plan filed another putative class action in the same Court on behalf of itself and all persons who purchased our common stock between August 9, 2011 and May 24, 2016, containing similar allegations. On July 26, 2016, motions were submitted to the Court for the consolidation of these three cases, as well as for the appointment of a lead plaintiff. On September 26, 2016, the Court granted the motion, consolidated the cases into one action, and appointed the New Mexico Educational Retirement Board as lead plaintiff and its counsel, Bernstein Liebhard, as lead counsel. The Court granted the lead plaintiff 60 days to file a consolidated amended complaint, and once filed, the Company will file a response. The previously filed complaints are all based on substantially similar allegations that certain of the Company’s financing arrangements were obtained through fraud and/or misrepresentation, and that we and certain of our officers and directors made materially misleading statements to the market by failing to disclose material information concerning these alleged misrepresentations, and concerning the supposed involvement by insiders of the Company in alleged trading in the Company’s stock by a United States senator on the basis of material nonpublic information. Based on these allegations, these complaints assert claims for violation of the securities laws and seek a variety of relief, including unspecified monetary damages as well as costs and attorneys’ fees. We believe these complaints are without merit and intend to defend ourselves vigorously.
On July 29, 2016, Henry Shebitz filed a shareholder derivative suit in the Chancery Court for Hamilton County, Tennessee alleging that our directors, three former directors and certain current and former officers breached their fiduciary duties by causing us to make materially misleading statements to the market by failing to disclose material information concerning these alleged misrepresentations, and concerning the supposed involvement by insiders of the Company in alleged trading in the Company’s stock by a United States senator on the basis of material nonpublic information. The complaint further alleges that certain of our current and former officers and directors improperly engaged in transactions in the Company’s stock while in possession of material nonpublic information concerning the Company’s alleged misleading statements. The complaint purports to seek relief on behalf of us for unspecified damages as well as costs and attorneys’ fees. We believe that this complaint is without merit and intends to defend against it vigorously.

ITEM 1A.    Risk Factors
In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the risks that could materially affect our business, financial condition or results of operations that are discussed under the caption “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.2016. There have been no material changes to such risk factors since the filing of our Annual Report.
