EXPLANATORY NOTE
This report combines the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 20202021 of Brixmor Property Group Inc. and Brixmor Operating Partnership LP. Unless stated otherwise or the context otherwise requires, references to the “Parent Company” or “BPG” mean Brixmor Property Group Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries, and references to the “Operating Partnership” mean Brixmor Operating Partnership LP and its consolidated subsidiaries. Unless the context otherwise requires, the terms “the Company,” “Brixmor,” “we,” “our” and “us” mean the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership, collectively.
The Parent Company is a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that owns 100% of the common stocklimited liability company interests of BPG Subsidiary Inc.LLC (“BPG Sub”), which, in turn, is the sole owner of Brixmor OP GP LLC (the “General Partner”), the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership. As of September 30, 2020,2021, the Parent Company beneficially owned, through its direct and indirect interest in BPG Sub and the General Partner, 100% of the outstanding partnership common units of interest (the “OP Units”) in the Operating Partnership.
The Company believes combining the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q of the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership into this single report:

Enhances investors’ understanding of the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership by enabling investors to view the business as a whole in the same manner as management views and operates the business;
Eliminates duplicative disclosure and provides a more streamlined and readable presentation; and
Creates time and cost efficiencies through the preparation of one combined report instead of two separate reports.
Management operates the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership as one business. Because the Operating Partnership is managed by the Parent Company, and the Parent Company conducts substantially all of its operations through the Operating Partnership, the Parent Company’s executive officers are the Operating Partnership’s executive officers, and although, as a partnership, the Operating Partnership does not have a board of directors, we refer to the Parent Company’s board of directors as the Operating Partnership’s board of directors.
We believe it is important to understand the few differences between the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership in the context of how the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership operate as a consolidated company. The Parent Company is a REIT, whose only material asset is its indirect interest in the Operating Partnership. As a result, the Parent Company does not conduct business itself other than issuing public equity from time to time. The Parent Company does not incur any material indebtedness. The Operating Partnership holds substantially all of our assets. Except for net proceeds from public equity issuances by the Parent Company, which are contributed to the Operating Partnership in exchange for OP Units, the Operating Partnership generates all capital required by the Company’s business. Sources of this capital include the Operating Partnership’s operations and its direct or indirect incurrence of indebtedness.
Equity, capital, and non-controlling interests are the primary areas of difference between the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of the Parent Company and those of the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership’s capital currently includes OP Units owned by the Parent Company through BPG Sub and the General Partner and has in the past and may in the future include OP Units owned by third parties. OP Units owned by third parties, if any, are accounted for in capital in the Operating Partnership’s financial statements and outside of equity in non-controlling interests in the Parent Company’s financial statements.
The Parent Company consolidates the Operating Partnership for financial reporting purposes, and the Parent Company does not have material assets other than its indirect investment in the Operating Partnership. Therefore, while equity, capital and non-controlling interests may differ as discussed above, the assets and liabilities of the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership are materially the same on their respective financial statements.
In order to highlight the differences between the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership, there are sections in this report that separately discuss the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership, including separate financial statements (but combined footnotes), separate controls and procedures sections, separate certification of periodic report under Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and separate certification pursuant to 18 U.S.C. Section 1350 as adopted pursuant to Section 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. In the sections that combine disclosure for the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership, this report refers to actions or holdings as being actions or holdings of the Company.

Forward-Looking Statements

This report may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These statements include, but are not limited to, statements related to our expectations regarding the performance of our business, our financial results, our liquidity and capital resources and other non-historical statements. You can identify these forward-looking statements by the use of words such as “outlook,” “believes,” “expects,” “potential,” “continues,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “seeks,” “approximately,” “projects,” “predicts,” “intends,” “plans,” “estimates,” “anticipates,” or the negative version of these words or other comparable words. Such forward-looking statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties. Accordingly, there are or will be important factors that could cause actual outcomes or results to differ materially from those indicated in these statements. We believe these factors include but are not limited to those described under the sections entitled “Risk Factors” in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20192020 and in this report, as such factors may be updated from time to time in our periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), which are accessible on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov.

Currently, one of the most significant factors that could cause actual outcomes or results to differ materially from our forward-lookingthose indicated in these statements is the adverse effect of the current pandemic of the novel coronavirus or COVID-19,(“COVID-19”) on the financial condition, operating results and cash flows of the Company, the Company’s tenants, the real estate market, the global economyfinancial markets and the financial markets.global economy. The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted us and our tenants significantly, and the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemicit continues to impact us and our tenants will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the scope, severity and duration of the pandemic, the speed and effectiveness of vaccine and treatment developments, public adoption rates of COVID-19 vaccines, including booster shots, and their effectiveness against emerging variants of COVID-19, such as the Delta variant, the direct and indirect economic effects of the pandemic and containment measures, and potential sustained changes in consumer behavior, among others.

Additional factors that could cause actual outcomes or results to differ materially from those indicated in thesethe forward-looking statements include (1) changes in national, regional and local economies, due to global events such as international trade disputes, a foreign debt crisis, foreign currency volatility, as well as fromor domestic issues, such as government policies and regulations, tariffs, energy prices, market dynamics, rising interest rates, inflation and unemployment or limited growth in consumer income; (2) local real estate market conditions, including an oversupply of space in, or a reduction in demand for, properties similar to those in our Portfolio; (3) competition from other available properties and e-commerce, and the attractiveness of properties in our Portfolio to our tenants; (4) ongoing disruption and/or consolidation in the retail sector, the financial stability of our tenants and the overall financial condition of large retailing companies, including their ability to pay rent and expense reimbursements; (5) in the case of percentage rents, the sales volume of our tenants; (6) increases in property operating expenses, including common area expenses, utilities, insurance and real estate taxes, which are relatively inflexible and generally do not decrease if revenue or occupancy decrease; (7) increases in the costs to repair, renovate and re-lease space; (8) earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes, damage from rising sea levels due to climate change, other natural disasters, epidemics and/or pandemics, including COVID-19, civil unrest, terrorist acts or acts of war, any of which may result in uninsured or underinsured losses; and (9) changes in laws and governmental regulations, including those governing usage, zoning, the environment and taxes (including proposed changes to California property tax law); and (10) new developments in the litigation and governmental investigations discussed under the heading “Legal Matters” in Note 15 – Commitments and Contingencies to our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this report.taxes. These factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read in conjunction with the other cautionary statements that are included in this report and in our other periodic filings. Moreover, investors are cautioned to interpret many of the risks identified under the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20192020 as being heightened as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this report, and we expressly disclaim any obligation or undertaking to publicly update or review any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except to the extent otherwise required by law.

BRIXMOR PROPERTY GROUP INC. AND BRIXMOR OPERATING PARTNERSHIP LP
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited, dollars in thousands, unless otherwise stated)

1. Nature of Business and Financial Statement Presentation
Description of Business
Brixmor Property Group Inc. and subsidiaries (collectively, the “Parent Company” or “BPG”) is an internally-managed real estate investment trust (“REIT”). Brixmor Operating Partnership LP and subsidiaries (collectively, the “Operating Partnership”) is the entity through which the Parent Company conducts substantially all of its operations and owns substantially all of its assets. The Parent Company owns 100% of the common stocklimited liability company interests of BPG Subsidiary Inc.LLC (“BPG Sub”), which, in turn, is the sole member of Brixmor OP GP LLC (the “General Partner”), the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership. The Parent Company engages in the ownership, management, leasing, acquisition, disposition and redevelopment of retail shopping centers through the Operating Partnership, and has no other materialsubstantial assets or liabilities other than through its investment in the Operating Partnership. The Parent Company, the Operating Partnership and their controlled subsidiaries on a consolidated basis (collectively, the “Company” or “Brixmor”) believes it owns and operates one of the largest open-air retail portfolios by gross leasable area (“GLA”) in the United States (“U.S.”), comprised primarily of community and neighborhood shopping centers. As of September 30, 2020,2021, the Company’s portfolio was comprised of 395386 shopping centers (the “Portfolio”) totaling approximately 6968 million square feet of GLA. The Company’s high-quality national Portfolio is primarily located within established trade areas in the top 50 Metropolitan Statistical Areas in the U.S., and its shopping centers are primarily anchored by non-discretionary and value-oriented retailers, as well as consumer-oriented service providers.

The Company does not distinguish its principal business or group its operations on a geographical basis for purposes of measuring performance. Accordingly, the Company has a single reportable segment for disclosure purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).

Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for the fair presentation of the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the periods presented have been included. The operating results for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full fiscal year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 20192020 and accompanying notes included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 10, 2020.11, 2021.

Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Parent Company, the Operating Partnership, each of their wholly owned subsidiaries and all other entities in which they have a controlling financial interest. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

Revenue Recognition and Receivables
The Company enters into agreements with tenants which convey the right to control the use of identified space at its shopping centers in exchange for rental revenue. These agreements meet the criteria for recognition as leases under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 842, Leases. Rental revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related leases. The cumulative difference between rental revenue recognized on the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and contractual payment terms is recognized as deferred rent and included in Receivables, net on the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company commences recognizing rental revenue based on the date it makes the underlying asset available for use by the tenant. Leases also typically provide for the reimbursement of property operating expenses, including common area expenses, utilities, insurance and real estate taxes by the lessee and are recognized in the period the applicable expenditures are incurred.

11


The Company periodically evaluates the collectability of its receivables related to rental revenue, straight-line rent, expense reimbursements and those attributable to other revenue generating activities. The Company analyzes individual tenant receivables and considers tenant credit-worthiness, the length of time a receivable has been outstanding, and current economic trends when evaluating collectability. Any receivables that are deemed to be uncollectible are recognized as a reduction to Rental income on the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The Company has made certain elections regarding the treatment of rent deferrals and abatements resulting from COVID-19. See Note 9 for additional information regarding the treatment and impact of COVID-19 rent deferrals and abatements on the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Income Taxes
Brixmor Property Group Inc. has elected to qualify as a REIT in accordance with the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). To qualify as a REIT, Brixmor Property Group Inc. must meet several organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that it currently distribute to its stockholders at least 90% of its REIT taxable income, determined without regard tobefore the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gains.gains, to its stockholders on an annual basis. Management intends to satisfy these requirements and maintain Brixmor Property Group Inc.’s REIT status.

As a REIT, Brixmor Property Group Inc. generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax, provided that distributions to its stockholders equal at least the amount of its REIT taxable income as defined under the Code. Brixmor Property Group Inc. conducts substantially all of its operations through the Operating Partnership which is organized as a limited partnership and treated as a pass-through entity for U.S. federal tax purposes. Therefore, U.S.
11


federal income taxes do not materially impact the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company.

If Brixmor Property Group Inc. fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, it will be subject to U.S. federal taxes at regular corporate rates and may not be able to qualify as a REIT for the four subsequent taxable years. Even if Brixmor Property Group Inc. qualifies for taxation as a REIT, Brixmor Property Group Inc. is subject to certain state and local taxes on its income and property, and to U.S. federal income and excise taxes on its undistributed taxable income as well as other income items, as applicable.

Brixmor Property Group Inc. has elected to treat certain of its subsidiaries as taxable REIT subsidiaries (each a “TRS”), and Brixmor Property Group Inc. may in the future elect to treat newly formed and/or other existing subsidiaries as TRSs. A TRS may participate in non-real estate related activities and/or perform non-customary services for tenants and is subject to certain limitations under the Code. A TRS is subject to U.S. federal, state and statelocal income taxes at regular corporate rates. Income taxes related to Brixmor Property Group Inc.’s TRSs do not materially impact the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company.

The Company has considered the tax positions taken for the open tax years and has concluded that no provision for income taxes related to uncertain tax positions is required in the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of September 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019.2020. Open tax years generally range from 20172018 through 20192020 but may vary by jurisdiction and issue. The Company recognizes penalties and interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense, which is included in Other on the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

New Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2016,October 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326). ASU 2016-13 was subsequently amended by ASU 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses. ASU 2016-13 amends guidance to replace the prior “incurred loss” methodology of recognizing credit losses on financial instruments with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of information. Any unrealized loss on the Company’s financial instruments must be assessed to determine the portion, if any, that is attributable to credit loss and the portion that is due to other factors, such as changes in market interest rates. “Credit loss” refers to any portion of the carrying amount that the Company does not expect to collect over a financial instrument’s contractual life. The Company considers current market conditions and reasonable forecasts of future market conditions to estimate expected credit losses over the life of the financial instrument. Any portion of
12


unrealized losses due to credit loss is recognized through net income and reported in equity as a component of distributions in excess of net income. The portion of unrealized losses due to other factors continues to be recognized through other comprehensive income and reported in accumulated other comprehensive income. In addition, ASU 2018-19 clarifies that receivables arising from operating leases are not within the scope of ASC 326-20. Instead, impairment of receivables arising from operating leases should be accounted for in accordance with ASC 842. The standard became effective for the Company on January 1, 2020. The Company determined that these changes did not have a material impact on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company.

In October 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-16, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815). ASU 2018-16 was subsequently amended by ASU 2020-04,Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) and ASU 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848). ASU 2018-16 amends guidance to permit the use of the Overnight Index Swap (“OIS”) rate based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) as a U.S. benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting purposes under ASCAccounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 815, Derivatives and Hedging. The standard became effective for the Company on January 1, 2019 and a prospective transition approach was required. The Company determined that the adoption of ASU 2018-16 did not have a material impact on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company.

ASU 2020-04 containsand ASU 2021-01 contain practical expedients for reference rate reform related activities that impact debt, leases, derivatives and other contracts. The guidance in ASU 2020-04 and ASU 2021-01 is optional and may be elected over time as reference rate reform activities occur. The Company has elected to apply the hedge accounting expedients related to probability and the assessments of effectiveness for future LIBOR-indexed cash flows to assume that the index upon which future hedged transactions will be based matches the index on the corresponding derivatives.flows. Application of these expedients preserves the presentation of derivatives consistent with past presentation. The Company continues to evaluate the impact of the guidance and may apply other elections as applicable as additional changes in the market occur.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement(Topic 820). ASU 2018-13 amends certain disclosure requirements regarding the fair value hierarchy of investments in accordance with GAAP, particularly the significant unobservable inputs used to value investments within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The standard became effective for the Company on January 1, 2020. The Company determined that these changes did not have a material impact on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company.

Any other recently issued accounting standards or pronouncements not disclosed above have been excluded as they either are not relevant to the Company, or they are not expected to have a material effect on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company.

6. Financial Instruments – Derivatives and Hedging
The Company’s use of derivative instruments is intended to manage its exposure to interest rate movements and such instruments are not utilized for speculative purposes. In certain situations, the Company may enter into derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swap and interest rate cap agreements that result in the receipt and/or payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the value of which are determined by interest rates.

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve 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 exchanging the underlying notional amount. The Company utilizes interest rate swaps to partially hedge the cash flows associated with variable LIBOR based debt. During the nine months ended September 30, 20202021 and year ended December 31, 2019,2020, the Company did 0tnot enter into any new interest rate swap agreements. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, interest rate swaps with a notional amount of $250.0 million expired and the Company paid $1.1 million to terminate interest rate swaps with a notional amount of $250.0 million.

Detail on the Company’s interest rate derivatives designated as cash flow hedges outstanding as of September 30, 20202021 and December 31, 20192020 is as follows:

Sheets. All of the Company’s outstanding interest rate swap agreements for the periods presented were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk. The fair value of the Company’s interest rate derivatives is determined using market standard valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivative, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities. These inputs are classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated as cash flow hedges is recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) and is reclassified into earnings as interest expense in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings.

The effective portion of the Company’s interest rate swaps that was recognized on the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 20202021 and 20192020 is as follows:

NaNNo gain or loss was recognized related to hedge ineffectiveness or to amounts excluded from effectiveness testing on the Company’s cash flow hedges during the three and nine months ended September 30, 20202021 and 2019.2020.

Non-Designated (Mark-to-Market) Hedges of Interest Rate Risk
The Company does not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. As of September 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, the Company did not have any non-designated hedges.

Credit-risk-related Contingent Features
The Company has agreements with its derivative counterparties that contain provisions whereby if the Company defaults on certain of its indebtedness and the indebtedness has been accelerated by the lender, then the Company could also be declared in default on its derivative obligations. If the Company were to breach any of the contractual provisions of the derivative contracts, it would be required to settle its obligations under thesuch agreements at their termination value, including accrued interest.

In August 2020,March 2021, the Operating Partnership issued an additional $300.0$350.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 20302.250% Senior Notes due 2028 (the “2028 Notes”) at 107.172%99.817% of par, the net proceeds of which were used to repay all outstanding indebtedness under the Revolving FacilityCompany’s $350.0 million term loan agreement, as amended April 29, 2020 (the “$350 Million Term Loan”). The 2028 Notes bear interest at a rate of 2.250% per annum, payable semi-annually on April 1 and for general corporate purposes.October 1 of each year, commencing October 1, 2021. The additional notes form a single series with the previously outstanding 2030 Notes.

In June 2020, the2028 Notes will mature on April 1, 2028. The Operating Partnership commenced a cash tender offer (the “Tender Offer”) formay redeem the 2028 Notes prior to maturity, at its option, at any and alltime in whole or from time to time in part, at the applicable redemption price specified in the Indenture with respect to the 2028 Notes. If the 2028 Notes are redeemed on or after February 1, 2028 (two months prior to the maturity date), the redemption price will be equal to 100% of its outstanding 3.875% Senior Notes due 2022 (the “2022 Notes”). The Tender Offer expired on June 26, 2020. As a result of the Tender Offer, the Company repurchased notes with a face value of $182.5 million on June 29, 2020 and $0.7 million on July 1, 2020. Following the repurchase, $316.8 million aggregate principal amount of the 20222028 Notes remains outstanding.being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the redemption date. The 2028 Notes are the Operating Partnership’s unsecured and unsubordinated obligations and rank equally in right of payment with all of the Operating Partnership’s existing and future senior unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020,2021, as a result of the Tender Offerredemption of the 2023 Notes and the repayment of its $7.0 million secured loan,the $350 Million Term Loan, the Company recognized a $10.4$28.3 million loss on extinguishment of debt, net.debt. Loss on

As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, a fair value hierarchy is included in GAAP that distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs that are classified within Levels 1 and 2 of the
20


hierarchy) and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions (unobservable inputs that are classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy).

In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

The valuation methodology used to estimate the fair value of the Company’s debt obligations is based on a discounted cash flow analysis, with assumptions that include credit spreads, interest rate curves, estimated property values, loan amounts and maturity dates. Based on these inputs,the above criteria, the Company has determined that the valuations of its debt obligations are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Such fair value estimates are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that would be realized upon disposition.

Recurring Fair Value
The Company’s marketable securities and interest rate derivatives are measured and recognized at fair value on a recurring basis. The valuations of the Company’s marketable securities are based primarily on publicly traded market values in active markets and are classified within Level 1 or 2 of the fair value hierarchy. See Note 6 for fair value information regarding the Company’s interest rate derivatives.

The following table presents the placement in the fair value hierarchy of assets and liabilities that are measured and recognized at fair value on a recurring basis:

As of September 30, 2020,2021, the contractual maturities of the Company’s marketable securities are within the next five years.

Non-Recurring Fair Value
On a periodic basis, management assesses whether there are any indicators, including property operating performance, changes in anticipated hold period and general market conditions, including the impact of COVID-19, that the carrying value of the Company’s real estate assets (including any related intangible assets or liabilities) may be impaired. Fair value is determined by offers from third-party buyers, market comparable data, third party appraisals or discounted cash flow analyses. The cash flows utilized in such analyses are comprised of unobservable inputs which include forecasted rental revenue and expenses based upon market conditions and future expectations. The capitalization rates and discount rates utilized in such analyses are based upon unobservable rates that the
21


Company believes to be within a reasonable range of current market rates for the respective properties. Based on these inputs, the Company has determined that the valuations of these properties are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

9. Revenue Recognition
The Company engages in the ownership, management, leasing, acquisition, disposition and redevelopment of retail shopping centers. Revenue is primarily generated through lease agreements and classified as Rental income on the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. These agreements include retail shopping center unit leases; ground leases; ancillary leases or agreements, such as agreements with tenants for cellular towers, ATMs, and short-term or seasonal retail (e.g. Halloween or Christmas-related retail); and reciprocal easement agreements. The agreements range in term from less than one year to 25 or more years, with certain agreements containing renewal options. These renewal options range from as little as one month to five or more years. The Company’s retail shopping center leases generally require tenants to pay their proportionate share of property operating expenses such as common area expenses, utilities, insurance and real estate taxes, and certain capital expenditures related to the maintenance of the Company’s properties.

Additionally, variable lease payments based onassociated with percentage rents are recognized once the required sales data is made available. The Company recognized $0.6$0.9 million and $1.1$0.6 million of income based on percentage rents for the three months ended September 30, 20202021 and 2019,2020, respectively. The Company recognized $3.6$4.7 million and $6.0$3.6 million of income based on percentage rents for the nine months ended September 30, 20202021 and 2019,2020, respectively. These amounts are included in Rental income on the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

COVID-19
The global outbreak of the novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”)COVID-19 and the public health measures that have been undertaken in response have had a significant adverse impact on the Company’s business, the Company’s tenants, the real estate market, the financial markets and the global economy. The effects of COVID-19, including related government restrictions, border closings,
22


quarantines, “shelter-in-place” orders and “social distancing” guidelines, have forced many of the Company’s tenants to temporarily close stores, reduce hours or significantly limit service, and have resulted in a dramatic increase in national unemployment and a significant economic contraction.contraction in 2020. Certain tenants experiencing economic
21


difficulties during thisthe COVID-19 pandemic have sought rent relief, which has been provided on a case-by-case basis primarily in the form of rent deferrals and, in more limited cases, in the form of rent abatements.

Under ASC 842, changes to the amount or timing of lease payments subsequent to the original lease execution are generally accounted for as lease modifications. Due to the number of lease contracts that would require analysis to determine, on a lease by lease basis, whether such a concession is required to be accounted for as a lease modification, the FASB issued a Staff Q&A on accounting for leases during the COVID-19 pandemic, focused on the application of lease guidance in ASC 842. The Q&A states that it would be acceptable to make a policy election regarding rent concessions resulting from COVID-19, which would not require entities to account for the rent concessions as lease modifications or to determine whether rent concessions were contractually obligated in each original lease. Rent abatements would be recognized as reductions to revenue during the period in which they were granted. Rent deferrals would result in an increase to “Receivables, net” during the deferral period with no impact on rental revenue recognition. Any rent concession that is either unrelated to COVID-19 or substantially increases the total consideration due under the lease does not qualify for consideration under the Q&A. The Company has evaluated the impact of the Q&A and has made the following policy elections:

The Company accounts for COVID-19 rent deferrals and abatements that significantly increase the consideration due under the lease as lease modifications in accordance with ASC 842. As a result, rental revenue recognition is reduced by the amount of the deferral or abatement in the period it was granted and straight-line rental income recognition is updated over the remaining lease term.
The Company does not account for COVID-19 rent deferrals that do not significantly increase the consideration due under the lease as lease modifications. As a result, rental revenue recognition, including straight-line rental income recognition, does not change, and Receivables, net increases for the deferred amount.
The Company does not account for COVID-19 rent abatements that do not significantly increase the consideration due under the lease as lease modifications. As a result, rental revenue recognition is reduced by the amount of the abatement in the period it was granted.granted and straight-line rental income recognition does not change over the remaining lease term.

10. Leases
The Company periodically enters into agreements in which it is the lessee, including ground leases for shopping centers that it operates and office leases for administrative space. The agreements range in term from less than one year to 50 or more years, with certain agreements containing renewal options for up to an additional 100 years. Upon lease execution, the Company recognizes a lease liability and a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset based on the present value of future lease payments over the noncancellable lease term. As of September 30, 20202021 the Company is not including any prospective renewal or termination options in its lease liabilities or ROU assets, as the exercise of such options is not reasonably certain. Certain agreements require the Company to pay its proportionate share of property operating expenses such as common area expenses, utilities, insurance and real estate taxes, and certain capital expenditures related to the maintenance of the properties. These payments are not included in the calculation of the lease liability and are presented as variable lease costs.

11. Equity and Capital
ATM Program
In January 2020, the Company established an at-the-market equity offering program (the “ATM Program”) through which the Company may sell from time to time up to an aggregate of $400.0 million of its common stock through sales agents over a three-year period. The ATM Program also provides that the Company may enter into forward contracts for shares of its common stock with forward sellers and forward purchasers. The ATM Program is
24


scheduled to expire on January 9, 2023, unless earlier terminated or extended by the Company, sales agents, forward sellers and forward purchasers.

Common Stock
In connection with the vesting of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) under the Company’s equity-based compensation plan, the Company withholds shares to satisfy tax withholding obligations. During the nine months ended September 30, 20202021 and 2019,2020, the Company withheld 0.3 million and 0.2 million and 0.1 million shares of its common stock, respectively.

Dividends and Distributions
During the threenine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company did 0t declare common stock dividends and OP Unit distributions. During the three months ended September 30, 2019,2021, the Company declared common stock dividends and OP Unit distributions of $0.280$0.645 per share/unit. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company declared common stock dividends and OP Unit distributions of $0.285 per share/unit. In response to COVID-19, the Company suspended the dividend in the second and third quarters of 2020. In the fourth quarter of 2020, the Company resumed the dividend at a rate of $0.215 per common share. As of September 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, the Company had declared but unpaid common stock dividends and OP Unit distributions of $1.8$66.6 million and $87.2$66.0 million, respectively. These amounts are included in Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities on the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

12. Stock Based Compensation
During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Board of Directors approved the 2013 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan provides for a maximum of 15.0 million shares of the Company’s common stock to be issued for qualified and non-qualified options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and RSUs, OP Units, performance awards and other stock-based awards.

During the nine months ended September 30, 20202021 and the year ended December 31, 2019,2020, the Company granted RSUs to certain employees. The RSUs are divided into multiple tranches, which are all subject to service-based vesting conditions. Certain tranches are also subject to performance-based or market-based criteria, which contain a threshold, target, above target, and maximum number of units which can be earned. The number of units actually earned for each tranche is determined based on performance during a specified performance period. Tranches that only have a service-based component can only earn a target number of units. The aggregate number of RSUs granted, assuming that the target level of performance is achieved, was 0.71.0 million and 0.80.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 20202021 and the year ended December 31, 2019,2020, respectively, with vesting periods ranging from one to five years. For the performance-based and service-based RSUs granted, fair value is based on the Company’s grant date stock price. For the market-based RSUs granted during the nine months ended September 30, 20202021 and the year ended December 31, 2019,2020, the Company calculated the grant date fair values per unit using a Monte Carlo simulation based on the probability of satisfying the market performance hurdles over the remainder of the performance period based on the Company’s historical common stock performance relative to the other

13.     Earnings per Share
Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing net income attributable to the Company’s common stockholders, including any participating securities, by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period. Certain restricted shares issued pursuant to the Company’s share-based compensation program are considered participating securities, as such stockholders have rights to receive non-forfeitable dividends. Fully-diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into shares of common stock. Unvested RSUs are not allocated net losses and/or any excess of dividends declared over net income, as such amounts are allocated entirely to the Company’s common stock.

The following table provides a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the EPS calculations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 20202021 and 20192020 (dollars in thousands, except per share data):

14. Earnings per Unit
Basic earnings per unit is calculated by dividing net income attributable to the Operating Partnership’s common unitholders, including any participating securities, by the weighted average number of partnership common units outstanding for the period. Certain restricted units issued pursuant to the Company’s share-based compensation program are considered participating securities, as such unitholders have rights to receive non-forfeitable dividends. Fully-diluted earnings per unit reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common units were exercised or converted into common units. Unvested RSUs are not allocated net losses and/or any excess of dividends declared over net income, as such amounts are allocated entirely to the Operating Partnership’s common units.

15. Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Matters
Except as described below, the Company is not presently involved in any material litigation arising outside the ordinary course of business. However, the Company is involved in routine litigation arising in the ordinary course of business, none of which the Company believes, individually or in the aggregate, taking into account existing reserves, will have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, operating results or cash flows.

As previously disclosed, on August 1, 2019, the Company finalized a settlement with the SEC with respect to matters initially disclosed on February 8, 2016 relating to a review conducted by the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors into certain accounting matters and the related conduct of certain former Company executives.

Also as previously disclosed, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York has indicated that it is no longer pursuing actions relating to these matters with respect to the Company’s former employees. In July 2021, the SEC dismissed its pending civil action against two former employees relating to these matters and indicated that it would not seek further sanctions against two other former employees who had previously consented to judgments. The Company believes that no additional governmental proceedings relating to these matters will be brought against the Company. The Company understands that the SEC and the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York are pursuing actions relating to these matters with respect to certain former employees. The Company remains obligated to indemnify these former officers for legal and other professional fees and these amounts are now in excess of the Company’s insurance coverage and are being funded by the Company. Under certain circumstances, the former officers are contractually obligated to reimburse the Company for such amounts advanced. However, it is possible that the Company may not be able to recover any or all of these amounts.

Environmental Matters
Under various federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations, the Company may be or become liable for the costs of removal or remediation of certain hazardous or toxic substances released on or in the Company’s property or disposed of by the Company or its tenants, as well as certain other potential costs which could relate to hazardous or toxic substances (including governmental fines and injuries to persons and property). The Company does not believe that any resulting liability from such matters will have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, operating results or cash flows. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company did not incur any material governmental fines resulting from environmental matters.

16. Related-Party Transactions
In the ordinary course of conducting its business, the Company enters into agreements with its affiliates in relation to the leasing and management of its real estate assets.

As of September 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, there were no material receivables from or payables to related parties. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company did not engage in any material related-party transactions.

17. Subsequent Events
In preparing the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company has evaluated events and transactions occurring after September 30, 20202021 for recognition and/or disclosure purposes. Based on this evaluation, there were no subsequent events from September 30, 20202021 through the date the financial statements were issued other than the following:

On October 30, 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.215 per common share for the fourth quarter of 2020. The dividend was temporarily suspended for the second and third quarters of 2020 in response to uncertainties created by the COVID-19 pandemic. The dividend is payable on January 15, 2021 to shareholders of record on January 6, 2021.issued.

Item 2.    Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying notes thereto. Historical results and percentage relationships set forth in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes, including trends which might appear, should not be taken as indicative of future operations.

Executive Summary
Our Company
Brixmor Property Group Inc. and subsidiaries (collectively, the “Parent Company” or “BPG”) is an internally-managed real estate investment trust (“REIT”). Brixmor Operating Partnership LP and subsidiaries (collectively, the “Operating Partnership”) is the entity through which the Parent CompanyBPG conducts substantially all of its operations and owns substantially all of its assets. BPG owns 100% of the common stocklimited liability company interests of BPG Subsidiary Inc.LLC (“BPG Sub”), which, in turn, is the sole member of Brixmor OP GP LLC (the “General Partner”), the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership. Unless stated otherwise or the context otherwise requires, “we,” “our,” and “us” mean BPG and the Operating Partnership, collectively. We believe we own and operate one of the largest open-air retail portfolios by gross leasable area (“GLA”) in the United States (“U.S.”), comprised primarily of community and neighborhood shopping centers. As of September 30, 2020,2021, our portfolio was comprised of 395386 shopping centers (the “Portfolio”) totaling approximately 6968 million square feet of GLA. Our high-quality national Portfolio is primarily located within established trade areas in the top 50 Metropolitan Statistical Areas (“MSAs”) in the U.S., and our shopping centers are primarily anchored by non-discretionary and value-oriented retailers, as well as consumer-oriented service providers. As of September 30, 2020,2021, our three largest tenants by annualized base rent (“ABR”) were The TJX Companies, Inc. (“TJX”), The Kroger Co. (“Kroger”), and Dollar TreeBurlington Stores, Inc. The Parent CompanyBPG has been organized and operated in conformity with the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT under the U.S. federal income tax laws, commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2011, has maintained such requirements through our taxable year ended December 31, 2019,2020, and intends to satisfy such requirements for subsequent taxable years.

Our primary objective is to maximize total returns to our stockholders through consistent, sustainable growth in cash flow. Our key strategies to achieve this objective include proactively managing our Portfolio to drive internal growth, pursuing value-enhancing reinvestment opportunities and prudently executing on acquisition and disposition activity, while also maintaining a flexible capital structure positioned for growth. In addition, as we execute on our key strategies, we do so guided by a commitment to beoperate in a socially responsible as wemanner that allows us to realize our goalpurpose of owning and managing properties that are the centers of the communities we serve.

We believe the following set of competitive advantages positions us to successfully execute on our key strategies:

Expansive Retailer Relationships – We believe that the scale of our asset base and our nationwide footprint represent competitive advantages in supporting the growth objectives of the nation’s largest and most successful retailers. We believe that we are one of the largest landlords by GLA to TJX and Kroger, as well as a key landlord to most major grocers and retail category leaders. We believe that our strong relationships with leading retailers afford us unique insight into their strategies and priority access to their expansion plans.

Fully-Integrated Operating Platform – We manage a fully-integrated operating platform, leveraging our national scope and demonstrating our commitment to operating with a strong regional and local presence. We provide our tenants with dedicated service through both our national accounts leasing team based in New York and our network of four regional offices in Atlanta, Chicago, Philadelphia and San Diego, as well as our 1113 leasing and property management satellite offices throughout the country. We believe that this structure enables us to obtain critical national market intelligence, while also benefitting from the regional and local expertise of our leasing and operations team.teams.

Experienced Management – Senior members of our management team are seasoned real estate operators with extensive public company leadership experience. Our management team has deep industry knowledge and well-established relationships with retailers, brokers and vendors through many years of operational and transactional experience, as well as significant capital markets capabilities and expertise in executing value-enhancing reinvestment opportunities.

Factors That May Influence Our Future Results
We derive our rental income primarily from base rent and expense reimbursements paid by tenants to us under existing leases at each of our properties. Expense reimbursements primarily consist of payments made by tenants to us for their proportionate share of property operating expenses, including common area expenses, utilities, insurance and real estate taxes, and certain capital expenditures related to the maintenance of our properties.

Our ability to maintain or increase rental income is primarily dependent on our ability to maintain or increase rental rates, renew expiring leases and/or lease available space. Increases in our property operating expenses, including repairs and maintenance, landscaping, snow removal, security, ground rent related to properties for which we are the lessee, utilities, insurance, real estate taxes and various other costs, to the extent they are not reimbursed by tenants or offset by increases in rental income, will adversely impact our overall performance.

See “Forward-Looking Statements”Forward-Looking Statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the factors that could affect our rental income and/or property operating expenses. As discussed below, and in “Part II - Item 1A. Risk Factors” included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the COVID-19 pandemic has had, and is significantly impacting many of these factors.expected to continue to have, a significant impact on our business.

Impacts on Business from COVID-19
The global outbreak of athe novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) and the public health measures that have been undertaken in response have had a significant adverse impact on our business, our tenants, the real estate market, the financial markets and the global economy. The effects of COVID-19, including related government restrictions, border closings, quarantines, “shelter-in-place” orders and “social distancing” guidelines, have forced many of our tenants to temporarily close stores, reduce hours or significantly limit service, and have resulted in a dramatic increase in national unemployment and a significant economic contraction.contraction in 2020. Since we cannot estimate when the COVID-19 pandemic and the responsive measures to combat it will end and to what extent certain restrictions, though currently lifted, may later be reinstated, we cannot estimate the ultimate operational and financial impact of COVID-19 on our business. The degree to which COVID-19 impacts our operating results in the future will depend on the factors discussed in Forward-Looking Statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Approximately 70% of our shopping centers are anchored by grocery stores. Grocery stores and other essential tenants have remained open throughout this timethe pandemic and many have experienced stable or increased sales, which has helped and we believe will continue to help to partially mitigate the adverse impact of COVID-19 on our business. COVID-19 has significantly impacted our operations duringAs of October 26, 2021, we have collected 94% of base rent for the nine months ended December 31, 2020, 96% of first quarter 2021 base rent, 97% of second quarter 2021 base rent, and 97% of third quarters of 2020, and the following operating trends, combined with macroeconomic trends such as significantly increased unemployment and changes in consumer spending, lead us to believe that our operating results for 2020 andquarter 2021 will continue to be adversely affected by COVID-19.

Timing of rental payments:base rent. Certain tenants experiencing economic difficulties during thisthe pandemic have sought rent relief from us, which has been provided on a case-by-case basis primarily in the form of rent deferrals and, in more limited cases, in the form of rent abatements. Rent deferrals have significantly increased our Receivables, net. We are in ongoing discussions with our tenants regarding rent that has not yet been collected or addressed through executed deferral or abatement agreements.

Leasing Highlights
As of September 30, 2021, billed and leased occupancy were 88.2% and 91.5%, respectively, as compared to 88.0% and 91.2%, respectively, as of September 30, 2020.



Leasing activity: While lease execution velocity notably slowed in the second quarter of 2020, it has since recovered to levels similar to those experienced in prior periods.

We have taken various steps to mitigate the impact of COVID-19 on our liquidity, including the deferral of approximately $100.0 million of capital expenditures originally anticipated in 2020 and the temporary suspension of our quarterly cash dividend for the second and third quarters of 2020. In June 2020 and August 2020, we issued an aggregate of $800.0 million principal amount of 4.050% Senior Notes due 2030, the net proceeds of which were used to repurchase a portion of our 3.875% Senior Notes due 2022, repay outstanding indebtedness under our $1.25 billion revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”), and for general corporate purposes. As of October 30, 2020, we have approximately $660.0 million in cash, approximately $1.2 billion of remaining availability under the Revolving Facility, and no debt maturities until 2022. In addition, we have encouraged our tenants whose businesses have been impacted by COVID-19 to explore their eligibility for benefits under government assistance programs intended to provide financial support to affected businesses; the ultimate impact of such assistance on our tenants, however, is not yet clear.

We expect the significance of the COVID-19 crisis and the resulting economic slowdown on our financial and operational results to be dictated by, among other things, the scope, severity and duration of the pandemic, the speed and effectiveness of vaccine and treatment developments, the direct and indirect economic effects of the pandemic and containment measures, and potential changes in consumer behavior. Adverse developments related to these conditions could increase the number of tenants that close their stores, that are unable to meet their lease obligations to us, and/or that file for bankruptcy protection, and could limit the demand for space from new tenants. These uncertainties make it difficult to predict operating results for our Portfolio for the remainder of 2020 and 2021. Therefore, there can be no assurances that we will not experience declines in revenues, net income or funds from operations, which could be material. See “Part II – Item 1A. Risk Factors” included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information.

Leasing Highlights
As of September 30, 2020, billed and leased occupancy were 88.0% and 91.2%, respectively, as compared to 88.6% and 91.9%, respectively, as of September 30, 2019.

Dividends and interest
The decrease in dividendsDividends and interest remained generally consistent for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 of $0.2 million,2021 as compared to the corresponding period in 2019, was primarily due to a $0.2 million decrease in investment income from marketable securities.2020.

Interest expense
The increasedecrease in interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 20202021 of $5.4$0.6 million, as compared to the corresponding period in 2019,2020, was primarily due to higherlower overall debt obligations as we bolstered liquidity in response to COVID-19.obligations.

Loss on extinguishment of debt, net
During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we redeemed all $500.0 million of our 3.250% Senior Notes due 2023 and repaid $350.0 million of an unsecured term loan under our senior unsecured credit facility agreement, as amended April 29, 2020 (the “Unsecured Credit Facility”), resulting in a $28.3 million loss on extinguishment of debt. Loss on extinguishment of debt includes $25.5 million of prepayment fees and $2.8 million of accelerated unamortized debt issuance costs and debt discounts. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we repurchased $183.2 million of our 3.875% Senior Notes due 2022 through a tender offer and repaid our $7.0 million secured loan, resulting in a $10.4 million loss on extinguishment of debt, net. Loss on extinguishment of debt, net includes $9.7 million of prepayment fees and $0.7 million of accelerated unamortized debt issuance costs and debt discounts, net of premiums. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we repaid $500.0 million of an unsecured term loan under the Unsecured Credit Facility, resulting in a $1.6 million loss on extinguishment of debt due to the acceleration of unamortized debt issuance costs.

Other
The increase in other expenseincome for the nine months ended September 30, 20202021 of $0.5$3.2 million, as compared to the corresponding period in 2019,2020, was primarily due to an increase in transaction expenses and favorable tax adjustments and legal settlements in the priorcurrent year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
We anticipate that our cash flows from the sources listed below will provide adequate capital for the next 12 months and beyond for all anticipated uses, including all scheduled payments on our outstanding debt, current and anticipated tenant and other capital improvements, stockholder distributions to maintain our qualification as a REIT and other obligations associated with conducting our business.

Our primary expected sources and uses of capital are as follows:
Sources
cash and cash equivalent balances;
operating cash flow;
available borrowings under the Unsecured Credit Facility;
dispositions;
issuance of long-term debt; and
issuance of equity securities.

Uses
maintenance capital expenditures;
leasing capital expenditures;
debt repayments;
dividend/distribution payments;
value-enhancing reinvestment capital expenditures;
acquisitions; and
repurchases of equity securities.

We believe our current capital structure provides us with the financial flexibility and capacity to fund our current capital needs as well as future growth opportunities. We have access to multiple forms of capital, including secured
38


property level debt, unsecured corporate level debt, preferred equity, and common equity, which will allow us to efficiently execute on our strategic and operational objectives. We currently have investment grade credit ratings from all three major credit rating agencies. As of September 30, 2020,2021, we had $1.2 billion of available liquidity under the Revolving Facility and $609.8$404.4 million in cash and cash equivalents.equivalents and restricted cash. We intend to continue to enhance our financial and operational flexibility through the additional extension of the duration of our debt.

As of September 30, 2021, our contractually scheduled debt maturities (excluding extension options) and interest payment obligations (excluding debt premiums and discounts and deferred financing costs) amount to $250.0 million and $182.4 million, respectively, over the next 12 months and $4.9 billion and $938.0 million, respectively, thereafter. As of September 30, 2021, the weighted average time to maturity is 5.7 years with respect to our scheduled debt maturities. These amounts do not assume the issuance of new debt upon maturity of existing debt. Scheduled interest payments included in these amounts for variable rate loans are presented using rates (including the impact of interest rate swaps) as of September 30, 2021. See Item 7A. “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 for a further discussion of these and other factors that could impact interest payments.

As previously discussed under the header “Impacts on Business from COVID-19”, the COVID-19 pandemic has had, and we expect willmay continue to have, an adverse impact on our liquidity and capital resources. Future decreases in cash flow from operations resulting from rent deferrals or abatements, tenant defaults, or decreases in rental rates or occupancy, would decrease the cash available for the capital uses described above, including the payment of dividends. The decline in our stock price since the onset of the pandemic has significantly decreased the likelihood of utilizing our at-the-market equity offering program in the near future. In June 2020 and August 2020, we issued an aggregate of $800.0 million principal amount of 4.050% Senior Notes due 2030, the net proceeds of which were used to repurchase a portion of our 3.875% Senior Notes due 2022, repay outstanding indebtedness under the Revolving Facility, and for general corporate purposes. However, the impacts of COVID-19 may increase risks related to the pricing and availability of future debt financing. In addition, a significant decline in our operating performance in the future could result in us not satisfying the financial covenants applicable to our debt and/or defaulting on our debt, which could impact our ability to incur additional debt, including the remaining capacity on our Revolving Facility.
38


We have taken various steps to mitigate the impact of COVID-19 on our liquidity, including the deferral of approximately $100.0 million of capital expenditures originally anticipated in 2020 and the temporary suspension of our quarterly cash dividend for the second and third quarters of 2020. In addition, we have no debt maturities until 2022. However, sincedividends. Since we do not know the ultimate severity, scope or duration of the pandemic and the response thereto, and thus cannot predict the impact it will ultimately have on our tenants and on the debt and equity capital markets, we cannot estimate the impact it will have on our liquidity and capital resources.

In order to continue to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, we must distribute to our stockholders at least 90% of our REIT taxable income, determined without regard tobefore the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gains.gains, to our stockholders on an annual basis. We intend to continue to satisfy this requirement and maintain our REIT status. Cash dividends paid to common stockholders for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 and 2019 were $170.4$193.2 million and $251.3$170.4 million, respectively. In response to COVID-19, our Board of Directors temporarily suspended the dividend forin the second and third quarters of 2020. In Octoberthe fourth quarter of 2020, our Board of Directors resumed the dividend at a rate of $0.215 per common share. In July 2021, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.215 per common share for the fourththird quarter of 2020.2021. The dividend is payablewas paid on JanuaryOctober 15, 2021 to shareholders of record on October 5, 2021. In October 2021, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.240 per common share for the fourth quarter of 2021. The dividend is payable on January 6, 2021.18, 2022 to shareholders of record on January 5, 2022. Our Board of Directors will reevaluateevaluate the dividend on a quarterly basis, taking into account a variety of relevant factors, including REIT taxable income.

Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities primarily consists of cash inflows from tenant rental payments and expense reimbursements and cash outflows for property operating expenses, general and administrative expenses and interest expense.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020,2021, our net cash provided by operating activities decreased $76.3increased $101.2 million as compared to the corresponding period in 2019.2020. The decrease isincrease was primarily due to (i) a decreasean increase from net working capital primarily due to decreased cash collection levels as a result of COVID-19;capital; (ii) an increase in same property net operating income; and (iii) an increase in lease termination fees; partially offset by (iv) a decrease in net operating income due to net disposition activity; (iii)(v) an increase in cash outflows for interest expense; and (iv)(vi) an increase in cash outflows for general and administrative expense; partially offset by (v) an increase in lease termination fees.expense.

Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities is impacted by the nature, timing and magnitude of acquisition and disposition activity and improvements to and investments in our shopping centers, including capital expenditures associated with our value-enhancing reinvestment efforts.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020,2021, our net cash used in investing activities increased $29.7$15.9 million as compared to the corresponding period in 2019.2020. The increase was primarily due to (i) a decreasean increase of $156.9$63.3 million

in acquisitions of real estate assets; partially offset by (ii) an increase of $41.5 million in net proceeds from sales of real estate assets; and (ii) a $13.3 million decrease in net proceeds from sales of marketable securities, net of purchases; partially offset by (iii) a decrease of $76.2 million in acquisitions of real estate assets; and (iv) a decrease of $64.3$5.6 million in improvements to and investments in real estate assets.assets; and (iv) a $0.3 million decrease in purchases of marketable securities, net of proceeds from sales.

Improvements to and investments in real estate assets
During the nine months ended September 30, 20202021 and 2019,2020, we expended $217.9$212.4 million and $282.2$217.9 million, respectively, on improvements to and investments in real estate assets. In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 20202021 and 2019,2020, insurance proceeds of $7.3$2.9 million and $5.0$7.3 million, respectively, were received and included in improvements to and investments in real estate assets.

Maintenance capital expenditures represent costs to fund major replacements and betterments to our properties. Leasing related capital expenditures represent tenant specific costs incurred to lease space, including tenant improvements and tenant allowances. In addition, we evaluate our Portfolio on an ongoing basis to identify value-enhancing reinvestment opportunities. Such initiatives are tenant driven and focus on upgrading our centers with strong, best-in-class retailers and enhancing the overall merchandise mix and tenant quality of our Portfolio. As of September 30, 2020,2021, we had 5449 in-process anchor space repositioning, redevelopment and outparcel development projects with an aggregate anticipated cost of $373.0$396.3 million, of which $198.1$245.0 million had been incurred as of September 30, 2020.2021. In addition, we have identified a pipeline of future reinvestment projects aggregating approximately $900.0 million of potential capital investment, which we expect to execute over the next several years. We expect to fund these projects with cash and cash equivalents, net cash provided by operating activities, proceeds from sales of real estate assets, and/or available liquidity under the Revolving Facility.

Acquisitions of and proceeds from sales of real estate assets
We continue to evaluate the market for acquisition opportunities and we may acquire shopping centers when we believe strategic opportunities exist, particularly where we can further concentrate our Portfolio in attractive retail submarkets and optimize the quality and long-term growth rate of our asset base. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we acquired two shopping centers, one outparcel and two land parcels for an aggregate purchase price of $66.7 million, including transaction costs and closing credits. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we acquired two land parcels for $3.4 million, including transaction costs. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we acquired two shopping centers, two leases at an existing shopping center and one land parcel for an aggregate purchase price of $79.6 million, including transaction costs.

We may also dispose of properties when we believe value has been maximized, where there is downside risk, or where we have limited ability or desire to build critical mass in a particular submarket. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we disposed of nine shopping centers, 14 partial shopping centers and one land parcel for aggregate net proceeds of $124.4 million. In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we received aggregate net proceeds of less than $0.1 million from previously disposed assets. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we disposed of eight shopping centers, three partial shopping centers and one land parcel for aggregate net proceeds of $81.9 million. In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we received aggregate net proceeds of $1.0 million from previously disposed assets. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we disposed of 18 shopping centers and four partial shopping centers for aggregate net proceeds of $239.4 million. In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we received aggregate net proceeds of $0.4 million from previously disposed assets.

Financing Activities
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities is impacted by the nature, timing and magnitude of issuances and repurchases of debt and equity securities, as well as principal payments associated with our outstanding indebtedness and distributions made to our common stockholders.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020,2021, our net cash provided by (used in) financing activities increased $715.0decreased $640.8 million as compared to the corresponding period in 2019.2020. The increasedecrease was primarily due to (i) a $657.7$625.5 million increasedecrease in debt borrowings, net of repayments; and (ii) an $80.9a $22.8 million decreaseincrease in distributions to our common stockholders; partially offset byand (iii) a $12.3 million increase in repurchases of common stock; and (iv) an $11.3$15.6 million increase in deferred financing and debt extinguishment costs.costs; partially offset by (iv) a $23.1 million decrease in repurchases of common stock. The increasedecrease in debt borrowings is primarily related to net proceeds fromamounts drawn on the issuances of our 4.050% Senior Notes due 2030, net ofRevolving Facility in the repurchases of a portion of our 3.875% Senior Notes due 2022.

Contractual Obligations

We have in place seven interest rate swap agreements with an aggregate notional value of $800.0 million, which effectively convert variable interest payments to fixed interest payments. See Item 7A. “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures” in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 for a further discussion of these and other factors that could impact interest payments. Interest payments for these variable rate loans are presented using rates (including the impact of interest rate swaps) as of September 30, 2020.COVID-19.

Non-GAAP Performance Measures
We present the non-GAAP performance measures set forth below. These measures should not be considered as alternatives to, or more meaningful than, net income (calculated in accordance with GAAP) or other GAAP financial measures, as an indicator of financial performance and are not alternatives to, or more meaningful than, cash flow
40


from operating activities (calculated in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of liquidity. Non-GAAP performance measures have limitations as they do not include all items of income and expense that affect operations, and accordingly, should always be considered as supplemental financial results to those calculated in accordance with GAAP. Our computation of these non-GAAP performance measures may differ in certain respects from the methodology utilized by other REITs and, therefore, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by such other REITs. Investors are cautioned that items excluded from these non-GAAP performance measures are relevant to understanding and addressing financial performance.

Funds From Operations
NAREIT FFO (defined hereafter) is a supplemental, non-GAAP performance measure utilized to evaluate the operating and financial performance of real estate companies. The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) defines funds from operations (“FFO”) as net income (loss), calculated in accordance with GAAP, excluding (i) depreciation and amortization related to real estate, (ii) gains and losses from the sale of certain real estate assets, (iii) gains and losses from change in control, (iv) impairment write-downs of certain real estate assets and investments in entities when the impairment is directly attributable to decreases in the value of
41


depreciable real estate held by the entity and (v) after adjustments for unconsolidated joint ventures calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis.

Considering the nature of our business as a real estate owner and operator, we believe that NAREIT FFO is useful to investors in measuring our operating and financial performance because the definition excludes items included in net income that do not relate to or are not indicative of our operating and financial performance, such as depreciation and amortization related to real estate, and items which can make periodic and peer analyses of operating and financial performance more difficult, such as gains and losses from the sale of certain real estate assets and impairment write-downs of certain real estate assets.

Our reconciliation of net income to NAREIT FFO for the three and nine months ended September 30, 20202021 and 20192020 is as follows (in thousands, except per share amounts):

Same Property Net Operating Income
Same property net operating income (“NOI”) is a supplemental, non-GAAP performance measure utilized to evaluate the operating performance of real estate companies. Same property NOI is calculated (using properties owned for the entirety of both periods and excluding properties under development and completed new development properties which have been stabilized for less than one year) as total property revenues (base rent, expense reimbursements, adjustments for revenues deemed uncollectible, ancillary and other rental income, percentage rents and other revenues) less direct property operating expenses (operating costs and real estate taxes). Same property NOI excludes (i) corporate level expenses (including general and administrative), (ii) lease termination fees, (iii) straight-line rental income, net, (iv) accretion of above- and below-market leases, net of amortization of above-market leases and tenant inducements, net, (v) straight-line ground rent expense, and (vi) income (expense) associated with our captive insurance company.

Considering the nature of our business as a real estate owner and operator, we believe that same property NOI is useful to investors in measuring the operating performance of our property portfolio because the definition excludes various items included in net income that do not relate to, or are not indicative of, the operating performance of our properties, such as depreciation and amortization and corporate level expenses (including general and administrative), and because it eliminates disparities in NOI due to the acquisition or disposition of properties or the stabilization of completed new development properties during the period presented and therefore provides a more consistent metric for comparing the operating performance of our real estate between periods.

Inflation
For the last several yearsPrior to 2021, inflation hashad been low and has had a minimal impact on the operating performance of our shopping centers; however, inflation has increased in 2021 and may increasecontinue to be elevated in the future. Most of our long-term leases contain provisions designed to mitigate the adverse impact of inflation, including contractual rent escalations and requirements for tenants to pay their proportionate share of property operating expenses, including common area expenses, utilities, insurance and real estate taxes, and certain capital expenditures related to the maintenance of our properties, thereby reducing our exposure to increases in property-level costsproperty operating expenses resulting from inflation.inflation; however, we have exposure to increases in non-reimbursable property operating expenses, including expenses incurred on vacant units. In addition, we believe that many of our existing rental rates are below current market rates for comparable space and that upon renewal or re-leasing, such rates may be increased to be consistent with, or closer to, current market rates. With respect to our outstanding indebtedness, we periodically evaluate our exposure to interest rate fluctuations, and may continue to enter into interest rate protection agreements which mitigate, but do not eliminate, the impact of changes in interest rates on our variable rate loans.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We had no material off-balance sheet arrangements as of September 30, 2020.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.    Legal Proceedings
The information contained under the heading “Legal Matters” in Note 15 – Commitments and Contingencies to our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this report is incorporated by reference into this Item 1.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
Except asIn addition to the other information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the risks described below, therein our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed for the year ended December 31, 2020, in Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors, and in our other filings with the SEC should be carefully considered. These factors may materially affect our financial condition, operating results and cash flows. There have been no material changes to the risk factors relating to the Company disclosed in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

The current pandemic of the novel coronavirus, or COVID-19, and future public health crises, could materially and adversely affect our financial condition, operating results and cash flows.
Since December 2019, COVID-19 has spread globally, including to every state in the United States. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic, and subsequently, the United States declared a national emergency with respect to COVID-19.

The COVID-19 pandemic has had and continues to have, and another pandemic or public health crisis in the future could have, repercussions across domestic and global economies and financial markets. The global impact of the COVID-19 outbreak evolved rapidly and many countries, and state and local governments in the United States, including those in which we own properties, have reacted by instituting government restrictions, border closings, quarantines, “shelter-in-place” orders and “social distancing” guidelines which have forced many of our tenants to close stores, reduce hours or significantly limit service, and has resulted in a dramatic increase in national unemployment and a significant economic contraction.

As a result, the COVID-19 pandemic is negatively impacting almost every industry directly or indirectly, with a particularly adverse effect on many of our tenants. Such tenants, particularly those deemed “non-essential” by state and local governments, have sought rent relief, which we have provided on a case-by-case basis primarily in the form of rent deferrals, and in more limited cases in the form of rent abatements, and we may provide additional relief in the future. We have experienced an increase in the number of tenants that are delinquent in their lease obligations and we have recognized significant levels compared to historical levels of revenues deemed uncollectible and straight-line rent receivable reversals. The COVID-19 pandemic has had and we expect will continue to have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, operating results and cash flows due to, among others, the following factors:

continuing or additional store closures at our properties resulting from related government or tenant actions;
a deterioration in our or our tenants’ ability to operate or delays in the supply of products or services to us or our tenants from vendors that are needed for efficient operations;
the inability of our tenants to meet their lease obligations to us due to changes in their businesses or local or national economic conditions, including high unemployment and reduced consumer discretionary spending;
changes in consumer behavior that reduce the frequency of visits to our shopping centers, including as a result of increased e-commerce;
liquidity issues resulting from (i) reduced cash flow from operations, (ii) the impact that lower operating results could have on the financial covenants in our debt agreements, and (iii) difficulty in accessing debt and equity capital on attractive terms, or at all, due to disruptions in financial and/or credit markets;
issues related to remote working, including increased cybersecurity risk and other technology and communication issues; and
the possibility that a significant number of our employees, particularly senior members of our management team, may become unable to work as a result of health issues related to COVID-19.

The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact us and our tenants will depend on future developments, which remain highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the scope, severity and duration of the pandemic, the speed and effectiveness of vaccine and treatment developments, the direct and indirect economic effects of the pandemic and containment measures, and potential changes in consumer behavior, among others. Adverse developments related to these conditions could increase the number of tenants that close their stores, that are unable to meet their lease obligations to us, and/or that file for bankruptcy protection, and could limit the demand for space from new tenants, which would reduce our earnings and cash flows. The rapid development and fluidity of this situation precludes any prediction as to the full adverse impact of the COVID-19

pandemic. Nevertheless, the COVID-19 pandemic presents material uncertainty and risk with respect to our financial condition, operating results and cash flows. Moreover, many risk factors set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 should be interpreted as heightened risks as a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.2020.
