On April 11, 2014,January 15, 2015, we announced a plan to spin offcompleted the spin-off of substantially all of our retail segment comprised of 79 strip shopping center business, consisting of 80 strip centers, fourthree malls, and a warehouse park adjacentand $225,000,000 of cash to our East Hanover strip center, into a new publicly traded REIT, Urban Edge Properties (“UE”) (NYSE: UE). As part of this transaction, we retained 5,717,184 UE operating partnership units (5.4% ownership interest). We are providing transition services to UE for an initial period of up to two years, including information technology, human resources, tax and financial reporting. UE is providing us with leasing and property management services for (i) the Monmouth Mall, (ii) certain small retail properties that we plan to sell, and (iii) our affiliate, Alexander’s, Inc.

2.    Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are unaudited and include the accounts of Vornado Realty L.P. and its consolidated subsidiaries.  All intercompany amounts have been eliminated. In our opinion, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and changes in cash flows have been made. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted.  These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q of the SEC and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, for the year ended December 31, 2013,2014, as filed with the SEC.

 

We have made estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.  The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014March 31, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.  

Certain prior year balances have been reclassified in order to conform to the current yearperiod presentation.  Beginning in the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company classified signage revenue within “property rentals”.  For the three months ended March 31, 2014, $9,300,000 related to signage revenue has been reclassified from “fee and other income” to “property rentals” to conform to the current period presentation.

3.    Recently Issued Accounting Literature

 

In June 2013,April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an update (“ASU 2013-08”) to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, Financial Services - Investment Companies (“Topic 946”).  ASU 2013-08 amends the guidance in Topic 946 for determining whether an entity qualifies as an investment company and requires certain additional disclosures.  ASU 2013-08 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years that begin after December 15, 2013.  The adoption of this update as of January 1, 2014, did not have any impact on our real estate fund or our consolidated financial statements.

In April 2014, the FASB issued an update (“ASU 2014-08”) Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entityto ASC Topic 205, Presentation of Financial Statementsand ASC Topic 360, Property Plant and Equipment. Under ASU 2014-08, only disposals that represent a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on the entity’s results and operations would qualify as discontinued operations. In addition, ASU 2014-08 expands the disclosure requirements for disposals that meet the definition of a discontinued operation and requires entities to disclose information about disposals of individually significant components that do not meet the definition of discontinued operations. ASU 2014-08 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years that beginbegan after December 15, 2014. WeUpon adoption of this standard on January 1, 2015, individual properties sold in the ordinary course of business are currently evaluating the impactnot expected to qualify as discontinued operations.

3.    Recently Issued Accounting Literature – continued

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued an update ("ASU 2014-09") establishing ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.  CustomersASU 2014-09 establishes a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most of the existing revenue recognition guidance.  ASU 2014-09 requires an entity to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services and also requires certain additional disclosures.  ASU 2014-09 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years that begin after December 15, 2016.  We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2014-09 on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In June 2014, the FASB issued an update (“ASU 2014-12”) to ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation.  ASU 2014-12 requires an entity to treat performance targets that can be met after the requisite service period of a share based award has ended, as a performance condition that affects vesting.  ASU 2014-12 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years that begin after December 15, 2015.  We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2014-12 on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In February 2015, the FASB issued an update (“ASU 2015-02”) Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis to ASC Topic 810, Consolidation.  ASU 2015-02 affects reporting entities that are required to evaluate whether they should consolidate certain legal entities.  Specifically, the amendments: (i) modify the evaluation of whether limited partnerships and similar legal entities are variable interest entities ("VIEs") or voting interest entities, (ii) eliminate the presumption that a general partner should consolidate a limited partnership, (iii) affect the consolidated analysis of reporting entities that are involved with VIEs, and (iv) provide a scope exception for certain entities.  ASU 2015-02 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015.  We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2015-02 on our consolidated financial statements. 

In April 2015, the FASB issued an update (“ASU 2015-03”) Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs to ASC Topic 835, Interest.  ASU 2015-03 requires that debt issuance costs be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the debt liability to which they relate, consistent with debt discounts, as opposed to being presented as assets.  ASU 2015-03 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years that begin after December 15, 2015.  The adoption of this update on January 1, 2016 will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In the first quarter of 2013, we wrote down 8,584,010 J.C. Penney common shares we owned to fair value, based on J.C. Penney’s March 31, 2013 closing share price of $15.11 per share, and recorded a $39,487,000 impairment loss.  In the third quarter of 2013, we settled a forward contract and received 4,815,990 J.C. Penney common shares.  In connection therewith, we recognized a $20,012,000 loss from the mark-to-market of the derivative position through its settlement date.  These losses are included in “interest and other investment income (loss), net” on our consolidated statements of income.

6.    Marketable Securities – continued

In March 2013 and September 2013, we sold an aggregate of 23,400,000 J.C. Penney common shares at a price of $14.29 per share, or $334,500,000, resulting in a net loss of $54,914,000, of which $36,800,000 and $18,114,000 was recognized during the first and third quarter of 2013, respectively.  In addition, in the third quarter of 2013, we sold another marketable security for $44,176,000, resulting in a net gain of $31,741,000.  The net gains and losses resulting from these sales are included in “net gain (loss) on disposition of wholly owned and partially owned assets” on our consolidated statements of income.

7.    Mortgage and Mezzanine Loans Receivable

In October 2012, we acquired a 25.0% participation in a mortgage and mezzanine loan on 701 Seventh Avenue.  In March 2013, we transferred at par, the 25.0% participation in the mortgage loan to a third party, for $59,375,000 in cash.  The transfer did not qualify for sale accounting given our continuing interest in the mezzanine loan.  Accordingly, we continued to include the 25.0% participation in the mortgage loan in “mortgage and mezzanine loans receivable” and recorded a $59,375,000 liability in “other liabilities” on our consolidated balance sheet.  In January 2014, the mortgage and mezzanine loans were repaid; accordingly, the $59,375,000 asset and liability were eliminated.  

In March 2014, a $30,000,000 mezzanine loan that was scheduled to mature in January 2015 was repaid. In May 2014, a $25,000,000 mezzanine loan that was scheduled to mature in November 2014 was repaid.

As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the carrying amount of mortgage and mezzanine loans receivable was $17,085,000 and $170,972,000, respectively.  These loans have a weighted average interest rate of 9.1% and 11.0% at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, and have maturities ranging from April 2015 to May 2016.

Toys “R” Us (“Toys”)

 

As of September 30, 2014,March 31, 2015, we own 32.7%32.6% of Toys.  We account for our investment in Toys under the equity method and record our share of Toys’ net income or loss on a one-quarter lag basis because Toys’ fiscal year ends on the Saturday nearest January 31, and our fiscal year ends on December 31.  The business of Toys is highly seasonal and substantially all of Toys’ net income is generated in its fourth quarter.

We have not guaranteed any of Toys’ obligations and are not committed to provide any support to Toys.  Pursuant to ASC 323-10-35-20, we discontinued applying the equity method of accounting for our Toys’ investment when the carrying amount was reduced to zero.zero in the third quarter of 2014.  We will resume application of the equity method if, during the period the equity method has been suspended, our share of unrecognized net income exceeds our share of unrecognized net losses duringlosses.

In the periodfirst quarter of 2014, we recognized our share of Toys’ fourth quarter net income of $75,196,000 and a corresponding non-cash impairment loss of the equity method was suspended.same amount.

As of September 30, 2014,March 31, 2015, the market value (“fair value” pursuant to ASC 820) of our investment in Alexander’s, based on Alexander’s September 30, 2014March 31, 2015 closing share price of $373.91,$456.58, was $618,473,000,$755,214,000, or $451,750,000$623,071,000 in excess of the carrying amount on our consolidated balance sheet.  As of September 30, 2014,March 31, 2015, the carrying amount of our investment in Alexander’s excluding amounts owed to us, exceeds our share of the equity in the net assets of Alexander’s by approximately $41,394,000.$41,048,000.  The majority of this basis difference resulted from the excess of our purchase price for the Alexander’s common stock acquired over the book value of Alexander’s net assets.  Substantially all of this basis difference was allocated, based on our estimates of the fair values of Alexander’s assets and liabilities, to real estate (land and buildings).  We are amortizing the basis difference related to the buildings into earnings as additional depreciation expense over their estimated useful lives.  This depreciation is not material to our share of equity in Alexander’s net income.  The basis difference related to the land will be recognized upon disposition of our investment.

LNR Property LLC (“LNR”)

In January 2013, we and the other equity holders of LNR entered into a definitive agreement to sell LNR for $1.053 billion, of which our share of the net proceeds was $240,474,000.  The definitive agreement provided that LNR would not (i) make any cash distributions to the equity holders, including us, through the completion of the sale, which occurred on April 19, 2013, and (ii) take any of the following actions (among others) without the purchaser’s approval, the lending or advancing of any money, the acquisition of assets in excess of specified amounts, or the issuance of equity interests.  Notwithstanding the terms of the definitive agreement, in accordance with GAAP, we recorded our pro rata share of LNR’s earnings on a one-quarter lag basis through the date of sale, which increased the carrying amount of our investment in LNR above our share of the net sales proceeds and resulted in us recognizing a $27,231,000 “other-than-temporary” impairment loss on our investment in the three months ended March 31, 2013.

One Park Avenue

On June 26, 2014, we invested an additional $22,700,000 to increase our ownership in One Park Avenue to 55.0% from 46.5% through a joint venture with an institutional investor, who increased his ownership interest to 45.0% (see Note 5 – Vornado Capital Partners Real Estate Fund).  The transaction was based on a property value of $560,000,000.  The property is encumbered by a $250,000,000 interest-only mortgage loan that bears interest at 4.995% and matures in March 2016.  We account for our investment in the joint venture under the equity method because we share control over major decisions with our joint venture partner.

61 Ninth Avenue

On July 23, 2014, a joint venture in which we are a 50.1% partner entered into a 99-year ground lease for 61 Ninth Avenue located on the Southwest corner of Ninth Avenue and 15th Street in Manhattan.  The venture’s current plans are to construct an office building, with retail at the base, of approximately 130,000 square feet.  Total development costs are currently estimated to be approximately $125,000,000.  We account for our investment in the joint venture under the equity method because we share control over major decisions with our joint venture partner.

14.    Variable Interest Entities (“VIEs”)10.    Debt

On January 1, 2015, we redeemed all of the $500,000,000 principal amount of our outstanding 4.25% senior unsecured notes, which were scheduled to mature on April 1, 2015, at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount plus accrued interest through December 31, 2014.

 

At September 30, 2014,On April 1, 2015, we have unconsolidated VIEs comprisedcompleted a $308,000,000 refinancing of RiverHouse Apartments, a three building, 1,670 unit rental complex located in Arlington, VA.  The loan is interest-only at LIBOR plus 1.28% and matures in 2025.  We realized net proceeds of approximately $43,000,000.  The property was previously encumbered by a 5.43%, $195,000,000 mortgage maturing in April 2015 and a $64,000,000 mortgage at LIBOR plus 1.53% maturing in 2018. 

The following is a summary of our investments in the entities that own One Park Avenue, Independence Plaza and the Warner Building, and at December 31, 2013, our unconsolidated VIEs comprised of our investments in the entities that own Independence Plaza and the Warner Building.  We do not consolidate these entities because we are not the primary beneficiary and the nature of our involvement in the activities of these entities does not give us power over decisions that significantly affect these entities’ economic performance.  We account for our investment in these entities under the equity method.  As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the net carrying amounts of our investment in these entities were $284,440,000 and $152,929,000, respectively, and our maximum exposure to loss in these entities is limited to our investment.  We did not have any consolidated VIEs as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.   

15.    Fair Value Measurements

ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures defines fair value and establishes a framework for measuring fair value.  The objective of fair value is to determine the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (the exit price).ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into three levels: Level 1 – quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities; Level 2 – observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted in active markets, but corroborated by market data; and Level 3 – unobservable inputs that are used when little or no market data is available. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs and the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs. In determining fair value, we utilize valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible, as well as consider counterparty credit risk in our assessment of fair value.  Considerable judgment is necessary to interpret Level 2 and 3 inputs in determining the fair value of our financial and non-financial assets and liabilities.  Accordingly, our fair value estimates, which are made at the end of each reporting period, may be different than the amounts that may ultimately be realized upon sale or disposition of these assets.   

Financial Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

Financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on our consolidated balance sheets consist of (i) marketable securities, (ii) Real Estate Fund investments, (iii) the assets in our deferred compensation plan (for which there is a corresponding liability on our consolidated balance sheet), (iv) interest rate swaps and (v) mandatorily redeemable instruments (Series G-1 through G-4 convertible preferred units and Series D-13 cumulative redeemable preferred units).  The tables below aggregate the fair values of these financial assets and liabilities by their levels in the fair value hierarchy at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

Real Estate Fund Investments

At September 30, 2014, our Real Estate Fund had seven investments with an aggregate fairthe greater of their carrying amount or redemption value of $495,392,000, or $158,317,000 in excess of cost.  These investments are classified as Level 3.  We use a discounted cash flow valuation technique to estimate the fair value of each of these investments, which is updated quarterly by personnel responsible for the management of each investment and reviewed by senior management at each reporting period.  The discounted cash flow valuation technique requires us to estimate cash flows for each investment over the anticipated holding period, which currently ranges from 0.5 to 5.8 years.  Cash flows are derived from property rental revenue (base rents plus reimbursements) less operating expenses, real estate taxes and capital and other costs, plus projected sales proceeds in the year of exit.  Property rental revenue is based on leases currently in place and our estimates for future leasing activity, which are based on current market rents for similar space plus a projected growth factor.  Similarly, estimated operating expenses and real estate taxes are based on amounts incurred in the current period plus a projected growth factor for future periods.  Anticipated sales proceeds at the end of an investment’s expected holdingeach reporting period.  Changes in the value from period to period are determined basedcharged to “partners’ capital” on our consolidated balance sheets.  Below is a table summarizing the net cash flowactivity of the investment in the year of exit, divided by a terminal capitalization rate, less estimated selling costs. 

The fair value of each property is calculated by discounting the future cash flows (including the projected sales proceeds), using an appropriate discount rate and then reduced by the property’s outstanding debt, if any, to determine the fair value of the equity in each investment. Significant unobservable quantitative inputs used in determining the fair value of each investment include capitalization rates and discount rates.  These rates are based on the location, type and nature of each property, and current and anticipated market conditions, which are derived from original underwriting assumptions, industry publications and from the experience of our Acquisitions and Capital Markets departments.  Significant unobservable quantitative inputs in the table below were utilized in determining the fair value of these Fund investments at September 30, 2014.redeemable partnership units.

The above inputs are subject to change based on changes in economic and market conditions and/or changes in use or timingAs of exit.  Changes in discount rates and terminal capitalization rates result in increases or decreases in the fair values of these investments.  The discount rates encompass, among other things, uncertainties in the valuation models with respect to terminal capitalization rates and the amount and timing of cash flows.  Therefore, a change in the fair value of these investments resulting from a change in the terminal capitalization rate, may be partially offset by a change in the discount rate.  It is not possible for us to predict the effect of future economic or market conditions on our estimated fair values.

Deferred Compensation Plan Assets

Deferred compensation plan assets that are classified as Level 3 consist of investments in limited partnerships and investment funds, which are managed by third parties.  We receive quarterly financial reports from a third-party administrator, which are compiled from the quarterly reports provided to them from each limited partnership and investment fund.  The quarterly reports provide net asset values on a fair value basis which are audited by independent public accounting firms on an annual basis.  The third-party administrator does not adjust these values in determining our share of the net assets and we do not adjust these values when reported in our consolidated financial statements.

Fair Value Measurements on a Nonrecurring Basis

Assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis on our consolidated balance sheets consist primarily of real estate assets, our investment in Suffolk Downs and our investment in Toys that were written-down to estimated fair value at September 30, 2014 or at DecemberMarch 31, 2013.  The fair value of our real estate assets and our investment in Suffolk Downs was determined using widely accepted valuation techniques, including (i) discounted cash flow analysis, which considers, among other things, leasing assumptions, growth rates, discount rates and terminal capitalization rates, (ii) income capitalization approach, which considers prevailing market capitalization rates, and (iii) comparable sales activity.  In determining the fair value of our investment in Toys, we considered, among other inputs, a December 31, 2013 third-party valuation of Toys and Toys’ historical results, financial forecasts and business outlook.  Our determination of the fair value of our investment in Toys included consideration of the following widely-used valuation methodologies: (i) market multiple methodology, that considered comparable publicly traded retail companies and a range of EBITDA multiples from 5.75x to 6.5x, (ii) comparable sales transactions methodology, that considered sales of retailers ranging in size from $150 million to $3 billion, (iii) a discounted cash flow methodology, that utilized five-year financial projections and assumed a terminal EBITDA multiple of 5.75x, a 10% discount rate and a 38% tax rate, and (iv) a Black-Scholes valuation analysis, that assumed one, two and three year time-to-expiration periods and 24% to 29% volatility factors.  Generally, we consider a number of valuation techniques when measuring fair values but in certain circumstances, a single valuation technique may be appropriate.  The tables below aggregate the fair values of these assets by their levels in the fair value hierarchy.

Financial Assets and Liabilities not Measured at Fair Value

Financial assets and liabilities that are not measured at fair value on our consolidated balance sheets include cash equivalents (primarily money market funds, which invest in obligations of the United States government), mortgage and mezzanine loans receivable and our secured and unsecured debt.  Estimates of the fair value of these instruments are determined by the standard practice of modeling the contractual cash flows required under the instrument and discounting them back to their present value at the appropriate current risk adjusted interest rate, which is provided by a third-party specialist.  For floating rate debt, we use forward rates derived from observable market yield curves to project the expected cash flows we would be required to make under the instrument.  The fair value of cash equivalents and borrowings under our revolving credit facility is classified as Level 1, and the fair value of our mortgage and mezzanine loans receivable is classified as Level 3.  The fair value of our secured and unsecured debt are classified as Level 2.  The table below summarizes the carrying amounts and fair value of these financial instruments as of September 30, 20142015 and December 31, 2013.2014, the aggregate redemption value of redeemable Class A units, which are those units held by third parties, was $1,303,790,000 and $1,336,780,000, respectively.

16.    Incentive Compensation

Vornado’s 2010 Omnibus Share Plan (the “Plan”) provides for grants of incentive and non-qualified Vornado stock options, Vornado restricted stock, restrictedRedeemable partnership units exclude our Series G-1 through G-4 convertible preferred units and out-performance plan awards to certain of Vornado’s employees and officers.  We accountSeries D-13 cumulative redeemable preferred units, as they are accounted for all stock-based compensationas liabilities in accordance with ASC 718,480, Compensation – Stock Compensation.  Stock-based compensation expense was $8,315,000and $9,201,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively and $28,389,000 and $25,796,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

On January 10, 2014, the Compensation Committee of Vornado’s Board of Trustees approved the 2014 Outperformance Plan, a multi-year, performance-based equity compensation plan and related form of award agreement (the “2014 OPP”). Under the 2014 OPP, participants have the opportunity to earn compensation payable in the form of units during a three-year performance measurement period, if and only if Vornado outperforms a predetermined total shareholder return (“TSR”) and/or outperforms the market with respect to relative TSR. Awards under the 2014 OPP may be earned if Vornado (i) achieves a TSR level greater than 7% per annum, or 21% over the three-year performance measurement period (the “Absolute Component”), and/or (ii) achieves a TSR above that of the SNL US REIT Index (the “Index”) over a three-year performance measurement period (the “Relative Component”). To the extent awards would be earned under the Absolute Component but Vornado underperforms the Index, such awards earned under the Absolute Component would be reduced (and potentially fully negated) based on the degree to which Vornado underperforms the Index. In certain circumstances, in the event Vornado outperforms the Index but awards would not otherwise be earned under the Absolute Component, awards may be increased under the Relative Component. To the extent awards would otherwise be earned under the Relative Component but Vornado fails to achieve at least a 6% per annum absolute TSR, such awards earned under the Relative Component would be reduced based on Vornado’s absolute TSR, with no awards being earned in the event Vornado’s TSR during the applicable measurement period is 0% or negative, irrespective of the degree to which Vornado may outperform the Index. If the designated performance objectives are achieved, OPP Units are also subject to time-based vesting requirements. Awards earned under the 2014 OPP vest 33% in year three, 33% in year four and 34% in year five. Distributions on awards earned accrue during the performance measurement period. In addition, Vornado’s executive officers (for the purposes of Section 16 of the Exchange Act) are required to hold any earned OPP awards (or related equity) for at least one year following vesting.

On January 1, 2015, we redeemed all of the $500,000,000 principal amount of our outstanding 4.25% senior unsecured notes, which were scheduled to mature on April 1, 2015, at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount plus accrued interest through December 31, 2014.

On April 1, 2015, we completed a $308,000,000 refinancing of RiverHouse Apartments, a three building, 1,670 unit rental complex located in Arlington, VA.  The loan is interest-only at LIBOR plus 1.28% and matures in 2025.  We realized net proceeds of approximately $43,000,000.  The property was previously encumbered by a 5.43%, $195,000,000 mortgage maturing in April 2015 and a $64,000,000 mortgage at LIBOR plus 1.53% maturing in 2018.

Redeemable partnership units exclude our Series G-1 through G-4 convertible preferred units and Series D-13 cumulative redeemable preferred units, as they are accounted for as liabilities in accordance with ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities and Equity, because of their possible settlement by issuing a variable number of Vornado common shares.  Accordingly, the fair value of these units is included as a component of “other liabilities” on our consolidated balance sheets and aggregated $55,097,000 as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014.  Changes in the value from period to period, if any, are charged to “interest and debt expense” on our consolidated statements of income.

13.    Variable Interest Entities (“VIEs”)

At March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we have unconsolidated VIEs comprised of our investments in the entities that own One Park Avenue, Independence Plaza and the Warner Building.  We do not consolidate these entities because we are not the primary beneficiary and the nature of our involvement in the activities of these entities does not give us power over decisions that significantly affect these entities’ economic performance.  We account for our investment in these entities under the equity method.  As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the net carrying amounts of our investment in these entities were $286,876,000 and $286,783,000, respectively, and our maximum exposure to loss in these entities is limited to our investment.  We did not have any consolidated VIEs as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014.   

14.    Fair Value Measurements

ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures defines fair value and establishes a framework for measuring fair value.  The objective of fair value is to determine the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (the exit price).ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into three levels: Level 1 – quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities; Level 2 – observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted in active markets, but corroborated by market data; and Level 3 – unobservable inputs that are used when little or no market data is available. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs and the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs. In determining fair value, we utilize valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible, as well as consider counterparty credit risk in our assessment of fair value.  Considerable judgment is necessary to interpret Level 2 and 3 inputs in determining the fair value of our financial and non-financial assets and liabilities.  Accordingly, our fair value estimates, which are made at the end of each reporting period, may be different than the amounts that may ultimately be realized upon sale or disposition of these assets.   

Financial Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

Financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on our consolidated balance sheets consist of (i) marketable securities, (ii) real estate fund investments, (iii) the assets in our deferred compensation plan (for which there is a corresponding liability on our consolidated balance sheet), (iv) mandatorily redeemable instruments (Series G-1 through G-4 convertible preferred units and Series D-13 cumulative redeemable preferred units), and (v) an interest rate swap.  The tables below aggregate the fair values of these financial assets and liabilities by their levels in the fair value hierarchy at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

At March 31, 2015, we had six investments with an aggregate fair value of $554,426,000, or $169,832,000 in excess of cost.  These investments are classified as Level 3.  We use a discounted cash flow valuation technique to estimate the fair value of each of these investments, which is updated quarterly by personnel responsible for the management of each investment and reviewed by senior management at each reporting period.  The discounted cash flow valuation technique requires us to estimate cash flows for each investment over the anticipated holding period, which currently ranges from 0.8 to 5.8 years.  Cash flows are derived from property rental revenue (base rents plus reimbursements) less operating expenses, real estate taxes and capital and other costs, plus projected sales proceeds in the year of exit.  Property rental revenue is based on leases currently in place and our estimates for future leasing activity, which are based on current market rents for similar space plus a projected growth factor.  Similarly, estimated operating expenses and real estate taxes are based on amounts incurred in the current period plus a projected growth factor for future periods.  Anticipated sales proceeds at the end of an investment’s expected holding period are determined based on the net cash flow of the investment in the year of exit, divided by a terminal capitalization rate, less estimated selling costs. 

The fair value of each property is calculated by discounting the future cash flows (including the projected sales proceeds), using an appropriate discount rate and then reduced by the property’s outstanding debt, if any, to determine the fair value of the equity in each investment. Significant unobservable quantitative inputs used in determining the fair value of each investment include capitalization rates and discount rates.  These rates are based on the location, type and nature of each property, and current and anticipated market conditions, which are derived from original underwriting assumptions, industry publications and from the experience of our Acquisitions and Capital Markets departments.  Significant unobservable quantitative inputs in the table below were utilized in determining the fair value of these real estate fund investments at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

The above inputs are subject to change based on changes in economic and market conditions and/or changes in use or timing of exit.  Changes in discount rates and terminal capitalization rates result in increases or decreases in the fair values of these investments.  The discount rates encompass, among other things, uncertainties in the valuation models with respect to terminal capitalization rates and the amount and timing of cash flows.  Therefore, a change in the fair value of these investments resulting from a change in the terminal capitalization rate, may be partially offset by a change in the discount rate.  It is not possible for us to predict the effect of future economic or market conditions on our estimated fair values. 

The table below summarizes the changes in the fair value of real estate fund investments that are classified as Level 3, for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014.

Deferred Compensation Plan Assets

Deferred compensation plan assets that are classified as Level 3 consist of investments in limited partnerships and investment funds, which are managed by third parties.  We receive quarterly financial reports from a third-party administrator, which are compiled from the quarterly reports provided to them from each limited partnership and investment fund.  The quarterly reports provide net asset values on a fair value basis which are audited by independent public accounting firms on an annual basis.  The third-party administrator does not adjust these values in determining our share of the net assets and we do not adjust these values when reported in our consolidated financial statements.

The table below summarizes the changes in the fair value of deferred compensation plan assets that are classified as Level 3, for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014.

Fair Value Measurements on a Nonrecurring Basis

Assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis on our consolidated balance sheets consist primarily of real estate assets required to be measured for impairment at December 31, 2014.  The fair value of our real estate assets was determined using widely accepted valuation techniques, including (i) discounted cash flow analysis, which considers, among other things, leasing assumptions, growth rates, discount rates and terminal capitalization rates, (ii) income capitalization approach, which considers prevailing market capitalization rates, and (iii) comparable sales activity.

Financial Assets and Liabilities not Measured at Fair Value

Financial assets and liabilities that are not measured at fair value on our consolidated balance sheets include cash equivalents (primarily money market funds, which invest in obligations of the United States government), mortgage and mezzanine loans receivable and our secured and unsecured debt.  Estimates of the fair value of these instruments are determined by the standard practice of modeling the contractual cash flows required under the instrument and discounting them back to their present value at the appropriate current risk adjusted interest rate, which is provided by a third-party specialist.  For floating rate debt, we use forward rates derived from observable market yield curves to project the expected cash flows we would be required to make under the instrument.  The fair value of cash equivalents and borrowings under our revolving credit facility is classified as Level 1, and the fair value of our mortgage and mezzanine loans receivable is classified as Level 3.  The fair value of our secured and unsecured debt are classified as Level 2.  The table below summarizes the carrying amounts and fair value of these financial instruments as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

21.20.    Commitments and Contingencies

 

Insurance 

 

We maintain general liability insurance with limits of $300,000,000 per occurrence and all risk property and rental value insurance with limits of $2.0 billion per occurrence, with sub-limits for certain perils such as floods.  Our California properties have earthquake insurance with coverage of $180,000,000 per occurrence, subject to a deductible in the amount of 5% of the value of the affected property, up to a $180,000,000 annual aggregate. We maintain coverage for terrorism acts with limits of $4.0 billion per occurrence and in the aggregate, includingand $2.0 billion per occurrence and in the aggregate for terrorism involving nuclear, biological, chemical and radiological (“NBCR”) terrorism events, as defined by the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act, which expires in December 2014.2020.

 

Penn Plaza Insurance Company, LLC (“PPIC”), our wholly owned consolidated subsidiary, acts as a re-insurer with respect to a portion of all risk property and rental value insurance and a portion of our earthquake insurance coverage, and as a direct insurer for coverage for NBCR acts.  Coverage for acts of terrorism (excluding NBCR acts) is fully reinsured by third party insurance companies and the federalFederal government with no direct exposure to PPIC.  For NBCR acts, PPIC is responsible for a deductible of $2,150,000$2,480,000 and 15% of the balance of a covered loss (16% effective January 1, 2016) and the federalFederal government is responsible for the remaining 85% of a covered loss.loss (84% effective January 1, 2016).  We are ultimately responsible for any loss incurred by PPIC.

 

We continue to monitor the state of the insurance market and the scope and costs of coverage for acts of terrorism.  However, we cannot anticipate what coverage will be available on commercially reasonable terms in the future.

 

Our debt instruments, consisting of mortgage loans secured by our properties which are non-recourse to us, senior unsecured notes and revolving credit agreements contain customary covenants requiring us to maintain insurance. Although we believe that we have adequate insurance coverage for purposes of these agreements, we may not be able to obtain an equivalent amount of coverage at reasonable costs in the future. Further, if lenders insist on greater coverage than we are able to obtain it could adversely affect our ability to finance our properties and expand our portfolio.

 

Other Commitments and Contingencies

 

We are from time to time involved in legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. In our opinion, after consultation with legal counsel, the outcome of such matters is not expected to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

Each of our properties has been subjected to varying degrees of environmental assessment at various times. The environmental assessments did not reveal any material environmental contamination. However, there can be no assurance that the identification of new areas of contamination, changes in the extent or known scope of contamination, the discovery of additional sites, or changes in cleanup requirements would not result in significant costs to us.

 

Our mortgage loans are non-recourse to us.  However, in certain cases we have provided guarantees or master leased tenant space.  These guarantees and master leases terminate either upon the satisfaction of specified circumstances or repayment of the underlying loans.  As of September 30, 2014,March 31, 2015, the aggregate dollar amount of these guarantees and master leases is approximately $360,000,000.$349,000,000.

 

At September 30, 2014, $39,947,000March 31, 2015, $39,632,000 of letters of credit were outstanding under one of our revolving credit facilities.  Our revolving credit facilities contain financial covenants that require us to maintain minimum interest coverage and maximum debt to market capitalization ratios, and provide for higher interest rates in the event of a decline in our ratings below Baa3/BBB. Our revolving credit facilities also contain customary conditions precedent to borrowing, including representations and warranties, and also contain customary events of default that could give rise to accelerated repayment, including such items as failure to pay interest or principal.

 

As of September 30, 2014,March 31, 2015, we expect to fund additional capital to certain of our partially owned entities aggregating approximately $111,000,000.$78,000,000.

As a result of the spin-off of substantially all of our Retail Properties segment (see Note 8 - Dispositions), the remaining retail properties no longer meet the criteria to be a separate reportable segment.  In addition, as a result of our investment in Toys being reduced to zero, we suspended equity method accounting for our investment in Toys (see Note 7 - Investments in Partially Owned Entities) and the Toys segment no longer meets the criteria to be a separate reportable segment.  Accordingly, effective January 1, 2015, the Retail Properties segment and Toys have been reclassified to the Other segment.  We have also reclassified the prior period segment financial results to conform to the current period presentation.  Below is a summary of net income and a reconciliation of net income to EBITDA(1) by segment for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014.

Notes to preceding tabular information:

(1)

EBITDA represents "Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization." We consider EBITDA a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure for making decisions and assessing the unlevered performance of our segments as it relates to the total return on assets as opposed to the levered return on equity. As properties are bought and sold based on a multiple of EBITDA, we utilize this measure to make investment decisions as well as to compare the performance of our assets to that of our peers. EBITDA should not be considered a substitute for net income. EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies.

(2)

Interest and debt expense, depreciation and amortization and income tax expense (benefit) in the reconciliation of net income (loss) to EBITDA includes our share of these items from partially owned entities.

On October 27, 2014, we completed a $140,000,000 financing of 655 Fifth Avenue, a 57,500 square foot retail and office property.  The loan is interest only at LIBOR plus 1.40% and matures in October 2019 with two one-year extension options.

On October 31, 2014, we entered into an agreement to sell 1740 Broadway, a 601,000 square foot office building in Manhattan for approximately $605,000,000.  The sale will result in net proceeds of approximately $585,000,000, after closing costs, and result in a financial statement gain of approximately $443,000,000.  The tax gain will be approximately $483,000,000, which will be deferred in like-kind exchanges, primarily for the St. Regis Fifth Avenue retail (see Note 4 – Acquisitions).  The sale is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2014.

Vornado Realty L.P.

New York, New York

 

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Vornado Realty L.P. (the “Company”) as of September 30, 2014,March 31, 2015, and the related consolidated statements of income, and comprehensive income, for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 and changes in equity, and cash flows for the nine-monththree-month periods ended September 30, 2014March 31, 2015 and 2013.2014.  These interim financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.

 

We conducted our reviews in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters.  It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole.  Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

 

Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to such consolidated interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of Vornado Realty L.P. as of December 31, 2013,2014, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated March 3, 2014,February 23, 2015, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.  In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 20132014 is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

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

 

 

Certain statements contained in this Quarterly Report constitute forward‑looking statements as such term is defined in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance. They represent our intentions, plans, expectations and beliefs and are subject to numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties. Our future results, financial condition and business may differ materially from those expressed in these forward-looking statements. You can find many of these statements by looking for words such as “approximates,” “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “intends,” “plans,” “would,” “may” or other similar expressions in this Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q.  We also note the following forward-looking statements:  in the case of our development and redevelopment projects, the estimated completion date, estimated project cost and cost to complete; and estimates of future capital expenditures, and operating partnership distributions.  Many of the factors that will determine the outcome of these and our other forward-looking statements are beyond our ability to control or predict. For further discussion of factors that could materially affect the outcome of our forward-looking statements, see “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, for the year ended December 31, 2013.2014.  For these statements, we claim the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or the date of any document incorporated by reference. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or any person acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this section. We do not undertake any obligation to release publicly any revisions to our forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

 

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations includes a discussion of our consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014.March 31, 2015.  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.  The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014March 31, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.  Certain prior year balances have been reclassified in order to conform to current year presentation.

We intend to achieve our business objective by continuing to pursue our investment philosophy and executing our operating strategies through:

 

·      Maintaining a superior team of operating and investment professionals and an entrepreneurial spirit;spirit

·      Investing in properties in select markets, such as New York City and Washington, DC, where we believe there is a high likelihood of capital appreciation;appreciation

·      Acquiring quality properties at a discount to replacement cost and where there is a significant potential for higher rents;rents

·      Investing in retail properties in select under-stored locations such as the New York City metropolitan area;area

·      Developing and redeveloping existing properties to increase returns and maximize value; andvalue

·      Investing in operating companies that have a significant real estate component.component

 

We expect to finance our growth, acquisitions and investments using internally generated funds, proceeds from asset sales and by accessing the public and private capital markets.  We may also offer partnership units in exchange for property and may repurchase or otherwise reacquire these units or any other securities in the future.

 

We compete with a large number of real estate property owners and developers, some of which may be willing to accept lower returns on their investments. Principal factors of competition are rents charged, sales prices, attractiveness of location, the quality of the property and the breadth and the quality of services provided. Our success depends upon, among other factors, trends of the global, national, regional and local economies, the financial condition and operating results of current and prospective tenants and customers, availability and cost of capital, construction and renovation costs, taxes, governmental regulations, legislation, population and populationemployment trends.  See “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, for additional information regarding these factors.

 

On April 11, 2014, we announced a plan to spin off our shopping center business, consisting of 80 strip centers, four malls and a warehouse park adjacent to our East Hanover strip center, into a new publicly traded REIT, Urban Edge Properties (“UE”), formerly Vornado Spinco.  The spin-off is expected to be effectuated through a pro rata distribution of UE’s common shares to Vornado common shareholders and Vornado Realty L.P. common unitholders, and is intended to be treated as tax-free for U.S. federal income tax purposes.  We expect the spin-off to be completed by the end of 2014, subject to certain conditions, including the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) declaring UE’s Form 10 registration statement effective, filing and approval of UE’s listing application with the NYSE, receipt of third party consents, and formal approval and declaration of the distribution by Vornado’s Board of Trustees.  Vornado may, at any time and for any reason until the proposed transaction is complete, abandon the separation or modify or change its terms.  Vornado will retain, for disposition in the near term, 20 small retail assets which do not fit UE’s strategy, and the Springfield Town Center, which is under contract for disposition (see Note 9 – Dispositions of the notes to our consolidated financial statements in Part I of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q).

Recently Issued Accounting Literature

 

In June 2013,April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an update (“ASU 2013-08”) to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, Financial Services - Investment Companies (“Topic 946”).  ASU 2013-08 amends the guidance in Topic 946 for determining whether an entity qualifies as an investment company and requires certain additional disclosures.  ASU 2013-08 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years that begin after December 15, 2013.  The adoption of this update as of January 1, 2014, did not have any impact on our real estate fund or our consolidated financial statements.

In April 2014, the FASB issued an update (“ASU 2014-08”) Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entityto ASC Topic 205, Presentation of Financial Statementsand ASC Topic 360, Property Plant and Equipment. Under ASU 2014-08, only disposals that represent a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on the entity’s results and operations would qualify as discontinued operations. In addition, ASU 2014-08 expands the disclosure requirements for disposals that meet the definition of a discontinued operation and requires entities to disclose information about disposals of individually significant components that do not meet the definition of discontinued operations. ASU 2014-08 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years that beginbegan after December 15, 2014. WeUpon adoption of this standard on January 1, 2015, individual properties sold in the ordinary course of business are currently evaluating the impactnot expected to qualify as discontinued operations. The financial results of ASU 2014-08 onUE and certain other retail assets are reflected in our consolidated financial statements. statements as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued an update ("ASU 2014-09") establishing ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. CustomersASU 2014-09 establishes a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most of the existing revenue recognition guidance.  ASU 2014-09 requires an entity to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services and also requires certain additional disclosures.  ASU 2014-09 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years that begin after December 15, 2016.  We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2014-09 on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In June 2014, the FASB issued an update (“ASU 2014-12”) to ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation.  ASU 2014-12 requires an entity to treat performance targets that can be met after the requisite service period of a share based award has ended, as a performance condition that affects vesting.  ASU 2014-12 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years that begin after December 15, 2015.  We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2014-12 on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In February 2015, the FASB issued an update (“ASU 2015-02”) Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis to ASC Topic 810, Consolidation.  ASU 2015-02 affects reporting entities that are required to evaluate whether they should consolidate certain legal entities.  Specifically, the amendments: (i) modify the evaluation of whether limited partnerships and similar legal entities are variable interest entities ("VIEs") or voting interest entities, (ii) eliminate the presumption that a general partner should consolidate a limited partnership, (iii) affect the consolidated analysis of reporting entities that are involved with VIEs, and (iv) provide a scope exception for certain entities.  ASU 2015-02 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015.  We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2015-02 on our consolidated financial statements. 

In April 2015, the FASB issued an update (“ASU 2015-03”) Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs to ASC Topic 835, Interest.  ASU 2015-03 requires that debt issuance costs be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the debt liability to which they relate, consistent with debt discounts, as opposed to being presented as assets.  ASU 2015-03 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years that begin after December 15, 2015.  The adoption of this update on January 1, 2016 will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

As of March 31, 2015, we own junior and senior mezzanine loans of 85 Tenth Avenue with an accreted balance of $151.4 million. The junior and senior mezzanine loans bear paid-in-kind interest of 12% and 9%, respectively and mature in May 2017. We account for our investment in 85 Tenth Avenue using the equity method of accounting because we will receive a 49.9% interest in the property after repayment of the junior mezzanine loan. As a result of recording our share of the GAAP losses of the property, the net carrying amount of these loans is $26.2 million on our consolidated balance sheets.

Washington, DC Segment

 

We estimate that 2014expect 2015 EBITDA from continuing operations will be between $5,000,000 and $10,000,000 lower than 2013 EBITDA, dueflat to the effects of Base Realignment and Closure (“BRAC”) related move-outs and the sluggish leasing environment in the Washington, DC / Northern Virginia area.  EBITDA from continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was lower than the prior year’s nine months by $5,264,000, which was offset by an interest expense reduction of $18,318,000 from the restructuring of the Skyline properties mortgage loan in October 2013.  As a result of this and other items, the overall earnings in the nine months ended September 30, 2014 were higher than the prior year’s nine months.

EBITDA.  Of the 2,395,000 square feet subject to the effects of the BRACBase Realignment and Closure (“BRAC”) statute, 393,000 square feet has been taken out of service for redevelopment and 952,0001,260,000 square feet has been leased.leased or is pending.  The table below summarizessummarizes the status of the BRAC space as of September 30, 2014.March 31, 2015.

Notes to preceding tabular information:

Notes to preceding tabular information:

(1)

EBITDA represents "Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization." We consider EBITDA a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure for making decisions and assessing the unlevered performance of our segments as it relates to the total return on assets as opposed to the levered return on equity. As properties are bought and sold based on a multiple of EBITDA, we utilize this measure to make investment decisions as well as to compare the performance of our assets to that of our peers. EBITDA should not be considered a substitute for net income. EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies.

Same Store EBITDA

Same store EBITDA represents EBITDA from property level operations which are owned by us in both the current and prior year reporting periods.  Same store EBITDA excludes segment-level overhead expenses, which are expenses that we do not consider to be property-level expenses, as well as other non-operating items.  We also present same store EBITDA on a cash basis which excludes income from the straight-lining of rents, amortization of below-market leases, net of above-market leases and other non-cash adjustments. We present these non-GAAP measures to (i) facilitate meaningful comparisons of the operational performance of our properties and segments, (ii) make decisions on whether to buy, sell or refinance properties, and (iii) compare the performance of our properties and segments to those of our peers.  Same store EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income or cash flow from operations and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. 

Below are reconciliations of EBITDA to same store EBITDA for each of our segments for the three months ended September 30, 2014, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2013.

Net Income and EBITDA by Segment for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 - continued

Notes to preceding tabular information:

(1)

EBITDA represents "Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization." We consider EBITDA a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure for making decisions and assessing the unlevered performance of our segments as it relates to the total return on assets as opposed to the levered return on equity. As properties are bought and sold based on a multiple of EBITDA, we utilize this measure to make investment decisions as well as to compare the performance of our assets to that of our peers. EBITDA should not be considered a substitute for net income. EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies.

(2)

Interest and debt expense, depreciation and amortization and income tax expense in the reconciliation of net income (loss) to EBITDA includes our share of these items from partially owned entities.

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests in consolidated subsidiaries was $85,239,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2014, compared to $50,049,000 in the prior year’s nine months, an increase of $35,190,000.  This increase resulted primarily fromhigher net income allocated to the noncontrolling interests, including noncontrolling interests of our Real Estate Fund.

Preferred Unit Redemptions

In the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we recognized $1,130,000 of expense in connection with preferred unit redemptions, comprised of $9,230,000 of expense from the redemption of the 6.75% Series F and Series H cumulative redeemable preferred units in February 2013, partially offset by $8,100,000 of income from the redemption of all the 6.875% Series D-15 cumulative redeemable preferred units in May 2013.

Same Store EBITDA

Same store EBITDA represents EBITDA from property level operations which are owned by us in both the current and prior year reporting periods.  Same store EBITDA excludes segment-level overhead expenses, which are expenses that we do not consider to be property-level expenses, as well as other non-operating items.  We also present same store EBITDA on cash basis (which excludes income from the straight-lining of rents, amortization of below-market leases, net of above-market leases and other non-cash adjustments).  We present these non-GAAP measures to (i) facilitate meaningful comparisons of the operational performance of our properties and segments, (ii) make decisions on whether to buy, sell or refinance properties, and (iii) compare the performance of our properties and segments to those of our peers.  Same store EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income or cash flow from operations and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. 

 

Below are reconciliations of EBITDA to same store EBITDA for each of our segments for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2014,March 31, 2015, compared to ninethree months ended September 30, 2013.March 31, 2014.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Property rental income is our primary source of cash flow and is dependent upon the occupancy and rental rates of our properties.   Our cash requirements include property operating expenses, capital improvements, tenant improvements, leasing commissions, distributions to unitholders, as well as acquisition and development costs.  Other sources of liquidity to fund cash requirements include proceeds from debt financings, including mortgage loans, senior unsecured borrowings, and our revolving credit facilities; proceeds from the issuance of equity securities; and asset sales.    

 

We anticipate that cash flow from continuing operations over the next twelve months will be adequate to fund our business operations, cash distributions to unitholders, debt amortization and recurring capital expenditures.  Capital requirements for development expenditures and acquisitions may require funding from borrowings and/or equity offerings.

 

We may from time to time purchase or retire outstanding debt securities or redeem our equity securities.  Such purchases, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, liquidity requirements and other factors.  The amounts involved in connection with these transactions could be material to our consolidated financial statements.

Development and Redevelopment Expenditures

 

Development and redevelopment expenditures consist of all hard and soft costs associated with the development or redevelopment of a property, including capitalized interest, debt and operating costs until the property is substantially completed and ready for its intended use. 

 

On March 2, 2014, we entered into an agreement to transfer upon completion, the redeveloped Springfield Town Center, a 1,350,000 square foot mall located in Springfield, Fairfax County, Virginia, to Pennsylvania Real Estate Investment Trust (NYSE: PEI) (“PREIT’) in exchange for $465,000,000 comprised of $340,000,000 of cash and $125,000,000 of PREIT operating partnership units.  The incremental development cost of this project was approximately $250,000,000, of which $202,000,000 has been expended as of September 30, 2014.  The redevelopment was completed in October 2014 and the closing will be no later than March 31, 2015.

We are in the process of redeveloping and substantially expanding the existing retail space at the Marriott Marquis Times Square Hotel, including converting the below grade parking garage into retail, which is expected to be completed by the end of 2015.  The retail space includes 20,000 square feet on grade and creating24,000 square feet below grade.  As part of the redevelopment, we have completed the construction of a six-story, 300 foot wide block front, dynamic LED sign, all of which is expected to be completed bywas lit for the end offirst time in November 2014.  Upon completion of the redevelopment, the retail space will include 20,000 square feet on grade and 20,000 square feet below grade.  The incremental development cost of this project is approximately $210,000,000,$220,000,000, of which $136,000,000$179,000,000 has been expended as of September 30, 2014.March 31, 2015.

 

We are constructing a residential condominium tower containing 472,000 zoning square feet on our 220 Central Park South development site.  The incremental development cost of this project is approximately $1.0 billion, of which $106,000,000$130,000,000 has been expended as of September 30, 2014.March 31, 2015.  In January 2014, we completed a $600,000,000 loan secured by this site.  On August 26, 2014, we obtained a standby commitment for up to $500,000,000 of five-year mezzanine loan financing to fund a portion of the development expenditures at 220 Central Park South.

 

We are developing The Bartlett, a 699-unit residential project in Pentagon City, which is expected to be completed in 2016.  The project will include a 37,000 square foot Whole Foods Market at the base of the building.  The incremental development cost of this project is approximately $250,000,000, of which $29,000,000$67,000,000 has been expended as of September 30, 2014.March 31, 2015.

 

We plan to redevelop an existing 165,000 square foot office building in Crystal City (2221 S. Clark Street), which we have leased to WeWork, into approximately 250 rental residential units.  The incremental development cost of this project is approximately $40,000,000.  The redevelopment is expected to be completed in the second half of 2015.

 

We have substantially completed the repositioning of 280 Park Avenue (50% owned). Our share of the incremental development costs of this project is approximately $63,000,000, of which $59,000,000 was expended as of March 31, 2015.

We are also evaluating other development and redevelopment opportunities at certain of our properties in Manhattan, including the Penn Plaza District, and in Washington, including Crystal City, Rosslyn and Pentagon City.

There can be no assurance that any of our development or redevelopment projects will commence, or if commenced, be completed, or completed on schedule or within budget.

Liquidity and Capital Resources – continued

 

 

Other Commitments and Contingencies

 

We are from time to time involved in legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. In our opinion, after consultation with legal counsel, the outcome of such matters is not expected to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

Each of our properties has been subjected to varying degrees of environmental assessment at various times. The environmental assessments did not reveal any material environmental contamination. However, there can be no assurance that the identification of new areas of contamination, changes in the extent or known scope of contamination, the discovery of additional sites, or changes in cleanup requirements would not result in significant costs to us.

 

Our mortgage loans are non-recourse to us.  However, in certain cases we have provided guarantees or master leased tenant space.  These guarantees and master leases terminate either upon the satisfaction of specified circumstances or repayment of the underlying loans.  As of September 30, 2014,March 31, 2015, the aggregate dollar amount of these guarantees and master leases is approximately $360,000,000.$349,000,000.

 

At September 30, 2014, $39,947,000March 31, 2015, $39,632,000 of letters of credit were outstanding under one of our revolving credit facilities.  Our revolving credit facilities contain financial covenants that require us to maintain minimum interest coverage and maximum debt to market capitalization ratios, and provide for higher interest rates in the event of a decline in our ratings below Baa3/BBB. Our revolving credit facilities also contain customary conditions precedent to borrowing, including representations and warranties, and also contain customary events of default that could give rise to accelerated repayment, including such items as failure to pay interest or principal.

 

As of September 30, 2014,March 31, 2015, we expect to fund additional capital to certain of our partially owned entities aggregating approximately $111,000,000.$78,000,000.

Item 3.   Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We have exposure to fluctuations in market interest rates. Market interest rates are sensitive to many factors that are beyond our control. Our exposure to a change in interest rates on our consolidated and non-consolidated debt (all of which arises out of non-trading activity) is as follows:

We may utilize various financial instruments to mitigate the impact of interest rate fluctuations on our cash flows and earnings, including hedging strategies, depending on our analysis of the interest rate environment and the costs and risks of such strategies. As of September 30, 2014,March 31, 2015, we have an interest rate cap with a notional amount of $60,000,000 that caps LIBOR at a rate of 5.00%.  In addition, we have anone interest rate swap on a $423,000,000$421,000,000 mortgage loan that swapped the rate from LIBOR plus 2.00% (2.15%1.65% (1.82% at September 30, 2014)March 31, 2015) to a fixed rate of 5.13% for the remaining four-year term of the loan.4.78% through March 2018. 

 

 

Fair Value of Debt

 

The estimated fair value of our consolidated debt is calculated based on current market prices and discounted cash flows at the rate at which similar loans could be made currently to borrowers with similar credit ratings, for the remaining term of such debt.  As of September 30, 2014,March 31, 2015, the estimated fair value of our consolidated debt was $11,120,000,000.

74$9,632,000,000.
