EXPLANATORY NOTE


This report combines the annual reports on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20162018 of Kite Realty Group Trust, Kite Realty Group, L.P. and its subsidiaries. Unless stated otherwise or the context otherwise requires, references to “Kite Realty Group Trust” or the “Parent Company” mean Kite Realty Group Trust, and references to the “Operating Partnership” mean Kite Realty Group, L.P. and its consolidated subsidiaries. The terms “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership collectively, and those entities owned or controlled by the Parent Company and/or the Operating Partnership.


The Operating Partnership is engaged in the ownership, operation, acquisition, development and redevelopment of high-quality neighborhood and community shopping centers in select markets in the United States. The Parent Company is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership and as of December 31, 20162018 owned approximately 97.7%97.6% of the common partnership interests in the Operating Partnership (“General Partner Units”). The remaining 2.3%2.4% of the common partnership interests (“Limited Partner Units” and, together with the General Partner Units, the “Common Units”) are owned by the limited partners.


We believe combining the annual reports on Form 10-K of the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership into this single report benefits investors by:

enhancing 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;
eliminating duplicative disclosure and providing a more streamlined and readable presentation of information because a substantial portion of the Company’s disclosure applies to both the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership; and
creating time and cost efficiencies through the preparation of one combined report instead of two separate reports.


We believe it is important to understand the few differences between the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership in the context of how we operate as an interrelated consolidated company. The Parent Company has no material assets or liabilities other than its investment in the Operating Partnership. The Parent Company issues public equity from time to time but does not have any indebtedness as all debt is incurred by the Operating Partnership. In addition, the Parent Company currently does not nor does it intend to guarantee any debt of the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership has numerous wholly-owned subsidiaries, and it also owns interests in certain joint ventures. These subsidiaries and joint ventures own and operate retail shopping centers and other real estate assets. The Operating Partnership is structured as a partnership with no publicly-traded equity. Except for net proceeds from equity issuances by the Parent Company, which are contributed to the Operating Partnership in exchange for General Partner Units, the Operating Partnership generates the capital required by the business through its operations, its incurrence of indebtedness and the issuance of Limited Partner Units to third parties.


Shareholders’ equity and partners’ capital are the main areas of difference between the consolidated financial statements of the Parent Company and those of the Operating Partnership. In order to highlight this and other differences between the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership, there are separate sections in this report, as applicable, that separately discuss the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership, including separate financial statements and separate Exhibit 31 and 32 certifications. In the sections that combine disclosure of the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership, this report refers to actions or holdings as being actions or holdings of the collective Company.

PART I
  
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
  
Unless the context suggests otherwise, references to “we,” “us,” “our” or the “Company” refer to Kite Realty Group Trust and our business and operations conducted through our directly or indirectly owned subsidiaries, including Kite Realty Group, L.P., our operating partnership (the “Operating Partnership”).
 
 
Overview
  
Kite Realty Group Trust is a publicly-held real estate investment trust which, through its majority-owned subsidiary, Kite Realty Group, L.P., owns interests in various operating subsidiaries and joint ventures engaged in the ownership and operation, acquisition, development and redevelopment of high-quality neighborhood and community shopping centers in selectedselect markets in the United States.  We derive revenues primarily from activities associated with the collection of contractual rents and reimbursement payments from tenants at our properties.  Our operating results therefore depend materially on, among other things, the ability of our tenants to make required lease payments, the health and resilience of the United States retail sector, interest rate volatility, job growth and overall economic and real estate market conditions.


As of December 31, 2016,2018, we owned interests in 108111 operating retailand redevelopment properties totaling approximately 21.421.9 million square feetfeet. We also owned one development project under construction as of gross leasable area (including approximately 6.3 million square feet of non-owned anchor space) located in 20 states.this date.  Our retail operating portfolio was 95.4%94.6% leased to a diversified retail tenant base, with no single retail tenant accounting for more than 2.8%2.6% of our total annualized base rent. In the aggregate, our largest 25 tenants accounted for 35.2%34.1% of our annualized base rent.  See Item 2, “Properties” for a list of our top 25 tenants by annualized base rent.

As of December 31, 2016, we had an interest in two development projects under construction. Upon completion, these projects are anticipated to have approximately 0.4 million square feet of gross leasable area. In addition to our development projects, as of December 31, 2016, we had nine redevelopment projects, which are expected to contain 1.6 million square feet of gross leasable area upon completion.
Significant 20162018 Activities
 

Operating Activities
  

We continued to drive strong operating results from our portfolio as follows:  
Net incomeRealized net loss attributable to common shareholders was $1.2of $46.6 million, for the year ended December 31, 2016;which included $70.4 million of impairment charges;
Same Property Net Operating Income ("Same Property NOI") increased 2.9%by 1.4% in 20162018 compared to 20152017 primarily due to increases in rental rates and an improved expense control and operating expense recovery;tenant mix driven by strong shop leasing activity;
We executed new and renewal leases on 179 new and 209 renewal315 individual spaces for approximately 2.01.7 million square feet of retail space, in 2016, achieving a blended cash rent spread of 9.8%6.8% for comparable signed leases;leases. As part of the total leasing activity, we executed 12 new anchor leases for 297,000 square feet for a blended cash rent spread of 8.4%;
Excluding the nine properties under redevelopment, ourWe opened 135 new tenant spaces totaling 602,000 square feet;
Our operating portfolio annual base rent ("ABR") per square foot as of December 31, 20162018 was $15.53, a 2.0%$16.84, an increase of $0.52 or 3.2% from the end of the prior year; and
We maintained efficiency metrics,Small shop leased percentage was 91.2% as of December 31, 2018, which we define as a combination of operating margin and general and administrative expenses to revenue, in the top third of our peer group.was an all-time Company high.

Disposition Activities
During 2018, we sold six non-core operating properties for $125 million of gross proceeds that were used to pay down our existing credit facility. These operating retail assets had a weighted average ABR of $12.23, which was 27% lower than the remaining operating portfolio ABR.

We entered into a strategic joint venture with Nuveen (formerly known as TH Real Estate) by selling an 80% interest in three core retail assets resulting in gross proceeds of $89 million.







Development and Redevelopment Activities
 
 
We believe evaluating our operating properties for development and redevelopment opportunities enhances shareholder value as it will make them more attractive for leasing to new tenants and it improves long-term values and economic returns. We initiated, advanced, and completed a number of development and redevelopment activities in 2016,2018, including the following:

Parkside TownEddy Street Commonsin South Bend, Indiana – Phase II of Eddy Street Commons is a mixed-use development at the University of Notre Dame that will include a retail component, apartments, townhomes, and a community center. The total projected costs for all components of the project are $90.8 million, of which our share is $10.0 million, although we have provided a completion guaranty to the South Bend Redevelopment Commission and the South Bend Economic Development Commission on the construction of the entire project. The project is currently under construction with a projected stabilization date of late 2020. near Raleigh, North Carolina
We deliveredcompleted construction of a 32,000 square foot space to Stein Mart,full-service Embassy Suites hotel at Phase I of Eddy Street Commons, which is expected to openopened in September 2018. The Company has a 35% ownership interest in the first half of 2017. In addition, we are negotiating a lease to replace the remaining vacant anchor space, which would increase the committed level to 91.5%.
Holly Springs Towne Center – Phase II near Raleigh, North Carolina – We substantially completed construction on this development and transitioned this project to the operating portfolio in the second quarter of 2016.  Phase II of the development is anchored by Bed Bath & Beyond, DSW, and Carmike Theatres. We have executed a lease for 23,000 square feet with O2 Fitness for the expansion phase of this development.
Tamiami Crossing in Naples, Florida We substantially completed construction on this development and transitioned this 100% occupied project to the operating portfolio in the second quarter of 2016. This center is anchored by Ross Dress for Less, Ulta, Michaels, Petsmart, Stein Mart and Marshalls.

Under Construction Redevelopment, Reposition, and Repurpose (3-R) Projects. Our 3-R initiative which includes a total of 20 projects under construction or active evaluation, continued to progress in 2016. There are2018 with the completion of six projects. Total costs incurred on these projects were $64.6 million with a total of 10 projects currently under construction, which have an estimated combined annualizedcomposite annual return of approximately 9% to 10%, with aggregate costs for these projects expected to range between $58.0 million to $66.5 million. We completed construction on the following four 3-R projects during the fourth quarter of 2016:8.6%.
Hitchcock Plaza in Augusta-Aiken, Georgia – We completed a conversion of vacant space into multiple junior anchor boxes and incremental shop space and executed a new lease with Petco, which opened in October 2016.
Shops at Moore in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma – We completed the recapture and expansion of existing vacant space and executed a lease with Five Below, which opened in September 2016.
Tarpon Bay Plaza in Naples, Florida – We completed the recapture of a vacant junior anchor space and executed a new lease with PetSmart, which opened in December 2016.
Traders Point in Indianapolis, Indiana – We completed the renovation of the existing AMC theater to upgrade the space into a premier entertainment center.


Financing and Capital Raising Activities.
 
 
 In 2016,2018, we were able to further strengthenmaintain our strong balance sheet, and improve our financial flexibility and liquidity to fund future growth.  We ended the year with approximately $430$484.9 million of combined cash and borrowing capacity on our unsecured revolving credit facility.

In addition,October 2018, we closed on a $250 million ten-year unsecured term loan that extended the weighted average scheduled maturity of the debt portfolio by a full year to 6.2 years and laddered the debt maturity schedule so that no more than 20% of the Company's debt is scheduled to mature in any single calendar year.

We have approximately $90only $20.7 million of debt maturitiesprincipal scheduled to mature through December 31, 2020. Significant financing2020, and capital raising activities in 2016 included:

In June 2016, we drew the remaining $100 million on our $200 million seven-year unsecured term loan ("7-Year Term Loan");
In July 2016, we amended and restated our credit agreement and extended the maturity date of our $500 million unsecured revolving credit facility to July 28, 2020 (with two six-month extension options), and separated our existing $400 unsecured term loan into a $200 million unsecured term loan maturing July 1, 2019 ("Term Loan A") and a $200 million unsecured term loan maturing July 28, 2021 ("Term Loan B").
In September 2016, we completed a $300 million public offering of 4.00% Senior Notes due October 1, 2026 ("the Notes").  The net proceeds from the issuance of the Notes were utilized to retire the $200 million Term


Loan A, to retire the $75.9 million construction loan secured by our Parkside Town Commons operating property and fund a portion of the retirement of $35 million in secured loans.
We issued 137,229 of our common shares at an average price per share of $29.52 pursuant to our at-the-market equity program, generating gross proceeds of approximately $4.1 million and, after deducting commissions and other costs, net proceeds of approximately $3.8 million.
We retired $240.2 million of property level secured debt. As a result, the ratio of secured debt to undepreciated assets declined from 23.0% to 16.9% as of December 31, 2015 and 2016, respectively.
We ended 2016 with a debt service coverage ratio of 3.5x.

Portfolio Recycling Activities
During the second quarter3.3x as of 2016, we sold our Shops at Otty operating property in Portland, Oregon, for a net gain of $0.2 million. In addition,December 31, 2018.  We have been assigned investment grade corporate credit ratings from two nationally recognized credit rating agencies. These ratings were unchanged during the fourth quarter of 2016, we sold our Publix at St. Cloud operating property in St. Cloud, Florida, for a net gain of $4.2 million. We did not acquire any operating properties in 2016.

Business Objectives and Strategies
  
Our primary business objectives are to increase the cash flow and build or realize capital appreciationvalue of our properties, achieve sustainable long-term growth and maximize shareholder value primarily through the ownership and operation, acquisition, development and redevelopment of well-locatedhigh-quality neighborhood and community and neighborhood shopping centers.  We invest in properties with well-located real estate and strong demographics, and we use our leasing and management strategies to improve the long-term values and economic returns of our properties.  We believe the properties identified as partthat certain of our 3-R initiativeproperties represent attractive opportunities for futureprofitable renovation and expansion.
 
 
We seek to implement our business objectives through the following strategies, each of which is more completely described in the sections that follow:  
Operating Strategy: Maximizing the internal growth in revenue from our operating properties by leasing and re-leasing those properties to a strong and diverse group of retail tenants at increasing rental rates, when possible, and redeveloping or renovating certain properties to make them more attractive to existing and prospective tenants and consumers;
Growth Strategy: Using debt and equity capital prudently to selectivelyacquire additional retail properties, redevelop or renovate our existing properties, and develop shopping centers on land parcels that we currently


own or newly acquired land where we believe that investment returns would meet or exceed internal benchmarks; and
Financing and Capital Preservation Strategy: Maintaining a strong balance sheet with sufficient flexibility to fund our operating and investment activities.  Funding sources include the public equity and debt market, ourmarkets, existing $485 million of cash and available liquidity under revolving credit facility, new secured debt, internally generated funds, proceeds from selling land and properties that no longer fit our strategy, and potential strategic joint ventures. We continuously monitor the capital markets and may consider raising additional capital when appropriate.



Growth Strategy: Prudently using available cash flow, targeted asset recycling, equity, and debt capital to selectivelyacquire additional retail properties and redevelop or renovate our existing properties where we believe that investment returns would meet or exceed internal benchmarks; and

Operating Strategy. Our primary operating strategy is to maximize rental rates and occupancy levels by attracting and retaining a strong and diverse tenant base. Most of our properties are located in regional and neighborhood trade areas with attractive demographics, which allows us to maintain and, in many cases, increasemaximize occupancy and rental rates. We seek to implement our operating strategy by, among other things:
increasing rental rates upon the renewal of expiring leases or re-leasing space to new tenants while minimizing vacancy to the extent possible;
maximizing the occupancy of our operating portfolio;
minimizing tenant turnover;
maintaining leasing and property management strategies that maximize rent growth and cost recovery;
maintaining a diverse tenant mix in an effort to limitthat limits our exposure to the financial condition of any one tenant or any category of retail tenants;
maintaining and improving the physical appearance, condition, layout and design of our properties and other improvements located on our properties to maximizeenhance our ability to attract customers;
implementing offensive and defensive strategies against e-commerce competition;
actively managing costsproperties to minimize overhead and operating costs;
maintaining strong tenant and retailer relationships in order to avoid rent interruptions and reduce marketing, leasing and tenant improvement costs that result from re-leasing space to new tenants; and
taking advantage of under-utilized land or existing square footage, reconfiguring properties for bettermore profitable use, orand adding ancillary income areassources to existing facilities.


We successfully executed our operating strategy in 20162018 in a number of ways, including improving our Same Property NOI by 2.9%. We generatedgrowth of 1.4%, a blended new and renewal positive cash leasing spread of 9.8%6.8%, and an increase in 2016.our small shop leased percentage to 91.2% as of year end. We have also been successful inplaced significant emphasis on maintaining a strong and diverse retail tenant mix, withwhich has resulted in no tenant accounting for more than 2.8%2.6% of our annualized base rent. See Item 2, “Properties” for a list of our top tenants by gross leasable area ("GLA") and annualized base rent.
Financing and Capital Preservation Strategy. We finance our acquisition, development, and redevelopment activities seeking to use the most advantageous sources of capital available to us at the time.  These sources may include the reinvestment of cash flows generated by operations, the sale of common or preferred shares through public offerings or private placements, the reinvestment of net proceeds from the disposition of assets, the incurrence of additional indebtedness through secured or unsecured borrowings, and entering into real estate joint ventures. 
Our primary financing and capital preservation strategy is to maintain a strong balance sheet and enhance our flexibility to fund operating and investment activities in the most cost-effective way. We consider a number of factors when evaluating the amount and type of additional indebtedness we may elect to incur.  Among these factors are the construction costs or purchase prices of properties to be developed or acquired, the estimated market value of our properties and the Company as a whole upon consummation of the financing, and the ability to generate cash flow to cover expected debt service. 
Strengthening our balance sheet continues to be one of our top priorities.  In February 2019, the Company announced a plan to market and sell up to $500 million in non-core assets as part of a program designed to improve the Company’s portfolio quality, reduce its leverage, and focus operations on markets where the Company believes it can gain scale and generate attractive risk-adjusted returns. The Company currently anticipates that the bulk of the net proceeds will be used to repay debt, further strengthening its balance sheet.

We maintain an investment grade credit rating that we expect will continue to enable us to opportunistically access the public unsecured bond market and will allow us to lower our cost of capital and provide greater flexibility in managing the acquisition and disposition of assets in our operating portfolio.



We intend to continue implementing our financing and capital strategies in a number of ways, which may include one or more of the following actions:  
prudently managing our balance sheet, including maintaining sufficient availability under our unsecured revolving credit facility so that we have additional capacity to fund our development and redevelopment projects and pay down maturing debt if refinancing that debt is not desired or practical;
extending the scheduled maturity dates of and/or refinancing our near-term mortgage, construction and other indebtedness;
expanding our unencumbered asset pool;
raising additional capital through the issuance of common shares, preferred shares or other securities;
managing our exposure to interest rate increases on our variable-rate debt through the selective use of fixed rate hedging transactions;
issuing unsecured bonds in the public markets, and securing property-specific long-term non-recourse financing; and
entering into joint venture arrangements in order to access less expensive capital and mitigate risk.

Growth Strategy. Our growth strategy includes the selective deployment of financial resources to projects that are expected to generate investment returns that meet or exceed our internal benchmarks. We continue to implement our growth strategy in a number of ways, including:
continually evaluating our operating properties for redevelopment and renovation opportunities that we believe will make them more attractive for leasing to new tenants, right sizingright-sizing of anchor spacespaces while increasing rental rates, orand re-leasing spaces to existing tenants at increased rental rates;
disposing of selected assets that no longer meet our long-term investment criteria and recycling the net proceeds into assetsproperties that provide attractive returns and rent growth potential in targeted markets or using the proceeds to improverepay debt, thereby reducing our financial position;leverage; and
selectively pursuing the acquisition of retail operating properties, portfolios and companies in markets with strong demographics.




In evaluating opportunities for potential acquisition, development, redevelopment and disposition, we consider a number of factors, including:
  
the expected returns and related risks associated with the investments relative to our combined cost of capital to make such investments;
the current and projected cash flow and market value of the property and the potential to increase cash flow and market value if the property were to be successfully re-leased or redeveloped;
the price being offered for the property, the current and projected operating performance of the property, the tax consequences of the sale,transaction, and other related factors;
opportunities for strengthening the current tenant mix at our properties through the property and the potential future tenant mix that the demographicsplacement of the property could support, including the presence of one or more additional anchors (for example,anchor tenants such as value retailers, grocers, soft goods stores, theaters, office supply stores, or sporting goods retailers),retailers, as well as an overallfurther enhancing a diverse tenant mix that includes restaurants, shoe and clothing retailers, specialty shops, and service retailers such as banks, dry cleaners and hair salons, and shoe and clothing retailers, some of which provide staple goods to the community and offer a high level of convenience;
the configuration of the property, including ease of access, availability of parking, visibility, and the demographics of the surrounding area; and
the level of success of existing properties in the same or nearby markets.


In 2016,2018, we delivered six strongcompleted one development and redevelopmentsix 3-R projects to the operating portfolio, and we expect to deliver several more in 2017. Our 3-R initiative currently includes 10 projects under construction withat total estimated costs of $58.0$79.9 million to $66.5 million. In addition, we are currently evaluatingadditional opportunities at 10 of our operating properties, with total estimated costs expected to be in the range of $80 million to $100 million.
Financing and Capital Preservation Strategy. We finance our acquisition, development, and redevelopment activities seeking to use the most advantageous sources of capital available to us at the time.  These sources may include the reinvestment of cash flows generated by operations, the sale of common or preferred shares through public offerings or private placements, the reinvestment of proceeds from the disposition of assets, the incurrence of additional indebtedness through secured or unsecured borrowings, and entering into real estate joint ventures.
Our primary financing and capital preservation strategy is to maintain a strong balance sheet and enhance our flexibility to fund operating and investment activities in the most cost-effective way. We consider a number of factors when evaluating our level and type of indebtedness and when making decisions regarding additional borrowings.  Among these factors are the construction costs or purchase prices of properties to be developed or acquired, the estimated market value of our properties and the Company as a whole upon consummation of the financing, and the ability of particular properties to generate cash flow to cover expected debt service.
Strengthening our balance sheet continues to be one of our top priorities.  We achieved an investment grade credit rating in 2014 and completed an inaugural public offering of our Notes in the third quarter of 2016.  We expect our investment grade credit rating will continue to enable us to opportunistically access the public unsecured bond market and will allow us to lower ouraggregate return on cost of capital and provide greater flexibility in managing the acquisition and disposition of assets in our operating portfolio. In addition, through the retirement of $240.2 million of property level secured debt in 2016, we were able to unencumber approximately $410 million of gross assets associated with our operating properties and maintain a strong debt service coverage ratio of 3.5x.
We intend to continue implementing our financing and capital strategies in a number of ways, which may include one or more of the following actions:
8.5%.


prudently managing our balance sheet, including maintaining sufficient capacity under our unsecured revolving credit facility so that we have additional capacity available to fund our development and redevelopment projects and pay down maturing debt if refinancing that debt is not feasible;
extending the maturity dates of and/or refinancing our near-term mortgage, construction and other indebtedness. Through our efforts in 2016, we increased our weighted average debt maturities to 6.4 years as of December 31, 2016 compared to 5.2 years as of December 31, 2015;
managing our cash flow from operations;
expanding our unencumbered asset pool;
raising additional capital through the issuance of common shares, preferred shares or other securities;
managing our exposure to interest rate increases on our variable-rate debt through the use of fixed rate hedging transactions;
issuing unsecured bonds in the public markets, and securing property-specific long-term non-recourse financing; and
entering into joint venture arrangements in order to access less expensive capital and to mitigate risk.


Competition
 
 
The United States commercial real estate market continues to be highly competitive. We face competition from other REITs, including other retail REITs, and other owner-operators engaged in the ownership, leasing, acquisition, and development of shopping centers as well as from numerous local, regional and national real estate developers and owners in each of our markets.  Some of these competitors may have greater capital resources than we do, although we do not believe that any single competitor or group of competitors is dominant in any of the primary markets where our properties are located are dominant in that market.
which we own properties. 
 
We face significant competition in our efforts to lease available space to prospective tenants at our operating, development and redevelopment properties. The nature of the competition for tenants varies based on the characteristics of each local market in which we own properties. We believe that the principal competitive factors in attracting tenants in our market areas are location, demographics, rental rates, the presence of anchor stores, competitor shopping centers in the same geographic area and the maintenance, appearance, access and traffic patterns of our properties.  There can be no assurance in the future that we will be able to compete successfully with our competitors in our development, acquisition and leasing activities.
 
 
Government Regulation
 
We and our properties are subject to a variety of federal, state, and local environmental, health, safety and similar laws, including:
 
 
Americans with Disabilities Act. Our properties must comply with Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act (the "ADA"), to the extent that such properties are public accommodations as defined by the ADA. The ADA may require removal of structural barriers to access by persons with disabilities in certain public areas of our properties where such removal is readily achievable. We believe our properties are in substantial compliance with the ADA and that we will not be required to make substantial capital expenditures to address the requirements of the ADA. However, noncompliance with the ADA could result in the imposition of finesorders requiring us to spend substantial sums to cure violations, pay attorneys' fees, or an award of damages to private litigants.pay other amounts. The obligation to make readily accessible accommodations is an ongoing one, and we will continue to assess our properties and make alterations as appropriate in this respect.


Affordable Care Act. Effective January 2015, weWe may be subject to excise taxes under the employer mandate provisions of the Affordable Care Act ("ACA") if we (i) do not offer health care coverage to substantially all of our full-time employees and their dependents or (ii) do not offer health care coverage that meets the ACA's affordability and minimum value standards. The


excise tax is based on the number of full-time employees. We do not anticipate being subject to a penalty under the ACA; however, even in the event that we are, any such penalty would be less than $0.4$0.3 million, as we had 153144 full-time employees as of December 31, 2016.
2018. 
 
Environmental Regulations. Some properties in our portfolio contain, may have contained or are adjacent to or near other properties that have contained or currently contain underground storage tanks for petroleum products or other hazardous or toxic substances. These storage tanks may have released, or have the potential to release, such substances into the environment.
 
In addition, some of our properties have tenants which may use hazardous or toxic substances in the routine course of their businesses. In general, these tenants have covenanted in their leases with us to use these substances, if any, in compliance with all environmental laws and have agreed to indemnify us for any damages we may suffer as a result of their use of such substances. However, these lease provisions may not fully protect us in the event that a tenant becomes insolvent. Finally, onecertain of our properties hashave contained asbestos-containing building materials, or ACBM, and another propertyother properties may have contained such materials based on the date of its construction. Environmental laws require that ACBM be properly managed and maintained, and fines and penalties may be imposed on building owners or operators for failure to comply with these requirements. The laws also may allow third parties to seek recovery from owners or operators for personal injury associated with exposure to asbestos fibers.


Neither existing environmental, health, safety and similar laws nor the costs of our compliance with these laws has had a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results operations, and management does not believe they will in the future. In addition, we have not incurred, and do not expect to incur, any material costs or liabilities due to environmental contamination at properties we currently own or have owned in the past. However, we cannot predict the impact of new or changed laws or regulations on properties we currently own or may acquire in the future.
 
 
With environmental sustainability becoming a national priority, we have continued to demonstrate our strong commitment to be a responsible corporate citizen through resource reduction and employee training that have resulted in reductions of energy consumption, waste and improved maintenance cycles.
 

Insurance

Insurance 
 
We carry comprehensive liability, fire, extended coverage, and rental loss insurance that covers all properties in our portfolio. We believe the policy specifications and insured limits are appropriate and adequate given the relative risk of loss, the cost of the coverage, geographic locations of our assets and industry practice. Certain risks such as loss from riots, war or acts of God, and, in some cases, flooding are not insurable; and therefore, we do not carry insurance for these losses. Some of our policies, such as those covering losses due to terrorism and floods, are insured subject to limitations involving large deductibles or co-payments and policy limits that may not be sufficient to cover losses.
 
Offices
 
 
Our principal executive office is located at 30 S. Meridian Street, Suite 1100, Indianapolis, IN 46204. Our telephone number is (317) 577-5600.
 
Employees
 
 
As of December 31, 2016,2018, we had 153144 full-time employees. The majority of these employees were based at our Indianapolis, Indiana headquarters.
 
Segment Reporting


 
Our primary business is the ownership and operation of neighborhood and community shopping centers. We do not distinguish or group our operations on a geographical basis, or any other basis, when measuring performance. Accordingly, we have one operating segment, which also serves as our reportable segment for disclosure purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP").

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
 
 
The following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking statements made in this Annual Report on Form 10-K and presented elsewhere by our management from time to time. These factors, among others, may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, operating results and cash flows, and you should carefully consider them. It is not possible to predict or identify all such factors. You should not consider this list to be a complete statement of all potential risks or uncertainties. Past performance should not be considered an indication of future performance.
 
 
We have separated the risks into three categories:
  
risks related to our operations;


risks related to our organization and structure; and
risks related to tax matters.


RISKS RELATED TO OUR OPERATIONS
 
Ongoing challenging conditions in the United States and global economies and the challenges facing our retail tenants and non-owned anchor tenants may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. 
Certain sectors of the United States economy, including the retail sector, have experienced and continue to experience sustained weakness.  Over the past several years, this structural weakness has resulted in the bankruptcy or weakened financial condition of a number of retailers, decreased consumer spending, increased home foreclosures, low consumer confidence, and reduced demand and rental rates for certain retail space. General economic factors that are beyond our control, including, but not limited to, economic recessions, decreases in consumer confidence and spending, decreases in business confidence and business spending, reductions in consumer credit availability, increasing consumer debt levels, rising energy costs, higher tax rates or other changes in taxation, rising interest rates, business layoffs, downsizing and industry slowdowns, unemployment and/or rising or falling inflation, could have a negative impact on the business of our retail tenants.  In turn, this could have a material adverse effect on our business because current or prospective tenants may, among other things, (i) have difficulty paying their rent obligations as they struggle to sell goods and services to consumers, (ii) be unwilling to enter into or renew leases with us on favorable terms or at all, (iii) seek to terminate their existing leases with us or request rent concessions on such leases, or (iv) be forced to curtail operations or declare bankruptcy.  We are also susceptible to other developments and conditions that could have a material adverse effect on our business. These developments and conditions include relocations of businesses, changing demographics (including the number of households and average household income surrounding our properties), increasing consumer shopping via the internet (or e-commerce), other changes in retailers' and consumers' preferences and behaviors, infrastructure quality, federal, state, and local budgetary constraints and priorities, increases in real estate and other taxes, increased government regulation and the related compliance cost, decreasing valuations of real estate, and other factors. 
Further, we continually monitor events and changes in circumstances that could indicate that the carrying value of our real estate assets may not be recoverable.  Challenging market conditions could require us to recognize impairment charges with respect to one or more of our properties, or a loss on the disposition of one or more of our properties.  

The expansion of e-commerce may impact our tenants and our business.

The prominence of e-commerce continues to increase and its growth is likely to continue or accelerate in the future. Continued expansion of e-commerce could result in a downturn in the businesses of some of our tenants and affect decisions made by current and prospective tenants in leasing space or operating their businesses, including reduction of the size or number of their retail locations in the future. We cannot predict with certainty how the growth in e-commerce will impact the demand for space at our properties or the revenue generated at our properties in the future. Although we continue to aggressively respond to these trends, including by entering into or renewing leases with tenants whose businesses are perceived as more resistant to e-commerce (such as services, restaurant, grocery, specialty and other experiential retailers), the risks associated with e-commerce could have a material adverse effect on the business outlook and financial results of our present and future tenants, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on our cash flow and results of operations.

If our tenants are unable to secure financing necessary to continue to operate and grow their businesses and pay us rent, we could be materially and adversely affected.
Many of our tenants rely on external sources of financing to operate and grow their businesses.  Future economic downturns and disruptions in credit markets may adversely affect our tenants’ ability to obtain debt financing at favorable rates or at all.  If our tenants are unable to secure financing necessary to operate or expand their businesses, they may be unable to meet their rent obligations to us or enter into new leases with us or be forced to declare bankruptcy and reject our leases with them, which could materially and adversely affect our cash flow and results of operations. 

Our business is significantly influenced by demand for retail space generally, a decrease in which may have a greater adverse effect on our business than if we owned a more diversified real estate portfolio.
Because our portfolio of properties consists primarily of community and neighborhood shopping centers, a decrease in the demand for retail space, due to the economic factors discussed above or otherwise, may have a greater adverse effect on our business and financial condition than if we owned a more diversified real estate property portfolio. The market for retail space has been, and could be in the future, adversely affected by weakness in the national, regional and local economies, the adverse


financial condition of certain large retailing companies, the ongoing consolidation and contraction in the retail sector, the excess amount of retail space in a number of markets and increasing e-commerce and the perception such online retail competition has on the value of shopping center assets. To the extent that any of these conditions occur, they are likely to negatively affect market rents for retail space, which in turn could materially and adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, common share trading price, and ability to satisfy our debt service obligations and to pay distributions to our shareholders. 
The closure of any stores by any non-owned anchor tenant or the bankruptcy of a major tenant with leases in multiple locations, because of a deterioration of its financial condition or otherwise, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
We derive the majority of our revenue from tenants who lease space from us at our properties. Therefore, our ability to generate cash from operations is dependent on the rents that we are able to charge and collect from our tenants. Our leases generally do not contain provisions designed to ensure the creditworthiness of our tenants. At any time, our tenants may experience a downturn in their business that may significantly weaken their financial condition, particularly in the face of online competition and during periods of economic or political uncertainty.  Economic and political uncertainty, including uncertainty related to taxation, may affect our tenants, joint venture partners, lenders, financial institutions and general economic conditions, such as consumer confidence and spending, business confidence and spending and the volatility of the stock market. In the event of prolonged severe economic conditions, our tenants may delay or cancel lease commencements, decline to extend or renew leases upon expiration, fail to make rental payments when due, close stores or declare bankruptcy. Any of these actions could result in the termination of the tenant’s leases with us and the related loss of rental income. Lease terminations or failure of a major tenant or non-owned anchor to occupy the premises could result in lease terminations or reductions in rent by other tenants in the same shopping centers because of contractual co-tenancy termination or rent reduction rights contained in some leases.  In such an event, we may be unable to re-lease the vacated space at attractive rents or at all.  In some cases, it may take extended periods of time to re-lease a space, particularly one previously occupied by a major tenant or non-owned anchor. Additionally, in the event our tenants are involved in mergers or acquisitions with or by third parties or undertake other restructurings, such tenants may choose to consolidate, downsize or relocate their operations, resulting in terminating or not renewing their leases with us or vacating the leased premises. The occurrence of any of the situations described above, particularly if it involves a substantial tenant or a non-owned anchor with ground leases in multiple locations, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

We face potential material adverse effects from tenant bankruptcies, and we may be unable to collect balances due from such tenants, replace the tenant at current rates, or at all.
Tenant bankruptcies may increase during periods of difficult economic conditions. We cannot make any assurances that a tenant filing for bankruptcy protection will continue to pay its rent obligations. A bankruptcy filing by one of our tenants or a lease guarantor would legally prohibit us from collecting pre-bankruptcy debts from that tenant or the lease guarantor, unless we receive an order from the bankruptcy court permitting us to do so. Such bankruptcies could delay, reduce, or ultimately preclude collection of amounts owed to us. A tenant in bankruptcy may attempt to renegotiate the lease or request significant rent concessions. If a lease is assumed by the tenant in bankruptcy, all pre-bankruptcy balances due under the lease must be paid to us in full. However, if a lease is rejected by a tenant in bankruptcy, we would have only a general unsecured claim for damages, including pre-bankruptcy balances. Any unsecured claim we hold may be paid only to the extent that funds are available and only in the same percentage as is paid to all other holders of unsecured claims. There are restrictions under bankruptcy laws that limit the amount of the claim we can make for future rent under a lease if the lease is rejected. As a result, it is likely that we would recover substantially less than the full value of any unsecured claims we hold from a tenant in bankruptcy, which would result in a reduction in our cash flow and in the amount of cash available for distribution to our shareholders and could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

Moreover, we are continually re-leasing vacant spaces resulting from tenant lease terminations. The bankruptcy of a tenant, particularly an anchor tenant, may make it more difficult to lease the remainder of the affected properties. Future tenant bankruptcies could materially adversely affect our properties or impact our ability to successfully execute our re-leasing strategy. 

Our performance and value are subject to risks associated with real estate assets and the real estate industry.
Our ability to make distributions to our shareholders depends on our ability to generate substantial revenues from our properties. Periods of economic slowdown or recession, rising interest rates or declining demand for real estate, or the public perception that any of these events may occur, could result in a general decline in rents or an increased incidence of defaults under existing leases. Such events would materially and adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, per share trading price of our common shares, ability to satisfy debt service obligations, and ability to make distributions to shareholders. 


In addition, other events and conditions generally applicable to owners and operators of real property that are beyond our control may decrease cash available for distribution and the value of our properties. These events include but are not limited to: 
adverse changes in the national, regional and local economic climate, particularly in Florida, Indiana and Texas where 25%, 15% and 12%, respectively, of our total annualized base rent is earned;
tenant bankruptcies;
local oversupply of rental space, increased competition or reduction in demand for rentable space;
inability to collect rent from tenants or having to provide significant rent concessions to tenants;
vacancies or our inability to rent space on favorable terms or at all;
downward trends in market rental rates;
inability to finance property development, tenant improvements and acquisitions on favorable terms;
increased operating costs, including maintenance, insurance, utilities and real estate taxes and a decrease in our ability to recover such increased costs from our tenants;
the need to periodically fund the costs to repair, renovate and re-lease spaces in our operating properties;
decreased attractiveness of our properties to tenants;
weather conditions that may increase energy costs and other weather-related expenses, such as snow removal costs;
changes in laws and governmental regulations and costs of complying with such changed laws and governmental regulations, including those involving health, safety, usage, zoning, the environment and taxes;
civil unrest, acts of terrorism, earthquakes, hurricanes and other national disasters or acts of God that may result in underinsured or uninsured losses;
the relative illiquidity of real estate investments;
changing demographics (including the number of households and average household income surrounding our properties); and
changing customer traffic patterns.

We face significant competition, which may impede our ability to renew leases or re-lease space as leases expire or require us to undertake unexpected capital improvements.
We compete with numerous developers, owners and operators of retail shopping centers, regional malls, and outlet malls for tenants. These competitors include institutional investors, other REITs, including other retail REITs, and other owner-operators of community and neighborhood shopping centers, some of which own or may in the future own properties similar to ours in the same markets but which have greater capital resources. As of December 31, 2018, leases representing 5.8% of our total annualized base rent were scheduled to expire in 2019.  If our competitors offer space at rental rates below current market rates, or below the rental rates we currently charge our tenants, we may be unable to lease on satisfactory terms and we may be pressured to reduce our rental rates below those we currently charge in order to retain tenants when our leases with them expire. We also may be required to offer more substantial rent reductions or abatements, tenant improvements and early termination rights or accommodate requests for renovations, build-to-suit remodeling and other improvements than we have done historically.  As a result, our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, trading price of our common shares and ability to satisfy our debt service obligations and to pay distributions to our shareholders may be materially adversely affected. In addition, increased competition for tenants may require us to make capital improvements to properties that we would not have otherwise planned to make, which would reduce cash available for distributions to shareholders. If retailers or consumers perceive that shopping at other venues, online or by phone is more convenient, cost-effective or otherwise more attractive, our revenues and results of operations also may suffer. 





Because of our geographic concentration in Florida, Indiana and Texas, a prolonged economic downturn in these states could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
 
 
The specific markets in which we operate may face challenging economic conditions that could persist into the future.  In particular, as of December 31, 2016,2018, rents from our owned square footage in the states of Florida, Indiana and Texas comprised 24%25%, 14%15%, and 13%12% of our annualized base rent, respectively.  This level of concentration could expose us to greater economic risks than if we owned properties in numerous geographic regions. Adverse economic or real estate trends in Florida, Indiana, Texas, or the surrounding regions, or any decrease in demand for retail space resulting from the local regulatory environment,


business climate or fiscal problems in these states, could materially and adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, the trading price of our common shares and our ability to satisfy our debt service obligations and to pay distributions to our shareholders.
 
Disruptions in the financial markets could affect our ability to obtain financing on reasonable terms, or at all, and have other material adverse effects on our business.
 
 
Disruptions in the financial markets generally, or relating to the real estate industry specifically, may adversely affect our ability to obtain debt financing aton favorable ratesterms or at all.  These disruptions could impact the overall amount of equity and debt financing available, lower loan to value ratios, cause a tightening of lender underwriting standards and terms and cause higher interest rate spreads. As a result, we may be unable to refinance or extend our existing indebtedness on favorable terms or the termsat all. We have approximately $20.7 million of any refinancing may not be as favorable as the terms of our existing indebtedness. Though we have limited debt maturitiesprincipal schedule to mature through December 31, 2020, we have approximately $6.7 million and $38.5 million of debt maturing in 2017 and 2018, respectively.2020. If we are not successful in refinancing our outstanding debt when it becomes due, we may have to dispose of properties on disadvantageous terms, which mightcould adversely affect our ability to service other debt and to meet our other obligations. We currently have sufficient capacity under our unsecured revolving credit facility and operating cash flows to retire outstanding debt maturing in 2017 and 2018through 2021 in the event we are not able to refinance such debt when it becomes due, but we cannot provide any assurance that we will be able to maintain capacity to retire any or all of our outstanding debt beyond 2018.
2021. 
 
If economic conditions deteriorate in any of our markets, we may have to seek less attractive, alternative sources of financing and adjust our business plan accordingly. These factors may make it more difficult for us to sell properties or may adversely affect the selling price, we receive for properties that we do sell, as prospective buyers may experience increased costs of financing or difficulties in obtaining financing. These events also may make it difficult or costly to raise capital through the issuance of our common shares or preferred shares. The disruptions in the financial markets have had, and may continue to have, a material adverse effect on the market value of our common shares and other aspects of our business, as well as the economy in general. Furthermore, there can be no assurances that government responses to disruptions in the financial markets will restore consumer confidence, stabilize the markets or increase liquidity and the availability of equity or debt financing.


If our tenants are unable to secure financing necessary to continue to operate and grow their businesses and pay us rent, we could be materially and adversely affected.
Many of our tenants rely on external sources of financing to operate and grow their businesses.  As discussed above, disruptions in credit markets may adversely affect our tenants’ ability to obtain debt financing at favorable rates or at all.  If our tenants are unable to secure financing necessary to continue to operate or expand their businesses, they may be unable to meet their rent obligations to us or enter into new leases with us or be forced to declare bankruptcy and reject our leases with them, which could materially and adversely affect us.
Ongoing challenging conditions in the United States and global economies and the challenges facing our retail tenants and non-owned anchor tenants may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
Certain sectors of the United States economy are experiencing sustained weakness.  Over the past several years, this structural weakness has resulted in the bankruptcy or weakened financial condition of a number of retailers, decreased consumer spending, increased home foreclosures, low consumer confidence, and reduced demand and rental rates for certain retail space. Market conditions remain challenging as lower consumer confidence has persisted.  There can be no assurance that the recovery will continue. General economic factors that are beyond our control, including, but not limited to, economic recessions, decreases in consumer confidence and consumer spending, decreases in business confidence and business spending, reductions in consumer credit availability, increasing consumer debt levels, rising energy costs, higher tax rates, business layoffs, downsizing and industry slowdowns, and/or rising inflation, could have a negative impact on the business of our retail tenants.  In turn, this could have a material adverse effect on our business because current or prospective tenants may, among other things, (i) have difficulty paying their rent obligations as they struggle to sell goods and services to consumers, (ii) be unwilling to enter into or renew leases with us on favorable terms or at all, (iii) seek to terminate their existing leases with us or request rental concessions on such leases, or (iv) be forced to curtail operations or declare bankruptcy.  We are also susceptible to other developments and conditions that could


have a material adverse effect on our business. These developments and conditions include relocations of businesses, changing demographics (including the number of households and average household income surrounding our properties), increased Internet shopping, changes in retailers' and consumers' preferences and behaviors, infrastructure quality, federal, state, and local budgetary constraints and priorities, increases in real estate and other taxes, costs of complying with government regulations or increased regulation, decreasing valuations of real estate, and other factors.
Further, we continually monitor events and changes in circumstances that could indicate that the carrying value of our real estate assets may not be recoverable.  Challenging market conditions could require us to recognize impairment charges with respect to one or more of our properties, or a loss on the disposition of one or more of our properties. 
Our real estate assets may be subject to impairment charges, which may negatively affect our net income.
 
 
Our long-lived assets, primarily real estate held for investment, are carried at cost unless circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable through future operations. On at least a quarterly basis, we evaluate whether there are any indicators, including poor operating performance or deteriorating general market conditions, that the carrying value of our real estate properties (including any related amortizable intangible assets or liabilities) may not be recoverable. As part of this evaluation, we compare the current carrying value of the asset to the estimated undiscounted cash flows that are directly associated with the use and ultimate disposition of the asset. Our estimated cash flows are based on several key assumptions, including current and projected rental rates, costs of tenant improvements, leasing commissions, anticipated hold periods, and assumptions regarding the residual value upon disposition, including the exit capitalization rate. These key assumptions are subjective in nature and could differ materially from actual results.results if the property was disposed. Changes in our disposition strategy or changes in the marketplace may alter the hold period of an asset or asset group, which may result in an impairment loss, and such loss could be material to our financial condition or operating performance. To the extent that the carrying value of the asset exceeds the estimated undiscounted cash flows, an impairment loss is recognized equal to the excess of carrying value over estimated fair value. If suchthe above-described negative indicators as described above, are not identified during our period property evaluations, management will not assess the recoverability of a property's carrying value.
 
 
The estimation of the fair value of real estate assets is highly subjective and is typically determined through comparable sales information and other market data if available or through use of an income approach such as the direct capitalization method or the traditional discounted cash flow approach. Such cash flow projections consider factors, including expected future operating income, trends and prospects, as well as the effects of demand, competition and other factors, and therefore are subject to a significant degree of management judgment. Changes in those factors could impact the determination of fair value. In estimating the fair value of undeveloped land, we generally use market data and comparable sales information.



These subjective assessments have a direct impact on our net income because recording an impairment charge results in an immediate negative adjustment to net income. There can be no assurance that we will not take additional charges in the future related to the impairment of our assets. Any future impairment could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations in the period in which the charge is taken.

Our business is significantly influenced by demand for retail space generally, a decrease in which may have a greater adverse effect on our business than if we owned a more diversified real estate portfolio.
Because our portfolio of properties consists primarily of community and neighborhood shopping centers, a decrease in the demand for retail space, due to the economic factors discussed above or otherwise, may have a greater adverse effect on our business and financial condition than if we owned a more diversified real estate property portfolio. The market for retail space has been, and could be in the future, adversely affected by weakness in the national, regional and local economies, the adverse financial condition of some large retailing companies, the ongoing consolidation in the retail sector, the excess amount of retail space in a number of markets, increasing consumer purchases through the Internet and the perception such online retail has on the value of shopping center assets. To the extent that any of these conditions occur, they are likely to negatively affect market rents for retail space and could materially and adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, the trading price of our common shares and our ability to satisfy our debt service obligations and to pay distributions to our shareholders.


The closure of any stores by any non-owned anchor tenant or major tenant with leases in multiple locations, because of a deterioration of its financial condition or otherwise, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
We derive the majority of our revenue from tenants who lease space from us at our properties. Therefore, our ability to generate cash from operations is dependent on the rents that we are able to charge and collect from our tenants. Our leases generally do not contain provisions designed to ensure the creditworthiness of our tenants. At any time, our tenants may experience a downturn in their business that may significantly weaken their financial condition, particularly during periods of economic uncertainty.  In the event of a prolonged or severe economic downturn, our tenants may delay lease commencements, decline to extend or renew leases upon expiration, fail to make rental payments when due, close a number of stores or declare bankruptcy. Any of these actions could result in the termination of the tenant’s leases and the loss of rental income attributable to the terminated leases. Lease terminations or failure of a major tenant or non-owned anchor to occupy the premises could result in lease terminations or reductions in rent by other tenants in the same shopping centers because of contractual co-tenancy termination or rent reduction rights under the terms of some leases.  In that event, we may be unable to re-lease the vacated space at attractive rents or at all.  Additionally, in the event our tenants are involved in mergers or acquisitions with or by third parties or undertake other restructurings, such tenants may choose to terminate their leases, vacate the leased premises or not renew their leases if they consolidate, downsize or relocate their operations as a result of the transaction. The occurrence of any of the situations described above, particularly if it involves a substantial tenant or a non-owned anchor with ground leases in multiple locations, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. As of December 31, 2016, the five largest tenants in our operating portfolio as a percentage of total annualized base rent were as follows:

Tenant% of Total Portfolio
Annualized Base Rent
Publix Super Markets, Inc.2.8%
The TJX Companies, Inc.2.5%
Petsmart, Inc.2.2%
Bed Bath & Beyond, Inc.2.2%

We face potential material adverse effects from tenant bankruptcies, and we may be unable to collect balances due from such tenants, replace the tenant at current rates, or at all.
Tenant bankruptcies may increase during periods of difficult economic conditions. We cannot make any assurances that a tenant that files for bankruptcy protection will continue to pay its rent obligations. A bankruptcy filing by one of our tenants or a lease guarantor would legally prohibit us from collecting pre-bankruptcy debts from that tenant or the lease guarantor, unless we receive an order from the bankruptcy court permitting us to do so. Such bankruptcies could delay or ultimately preclude collection of amounts owed to us. If a lease is assumed by the tenant in bankruptcy, all pre-bankruptcy balances due under the lease must be paid to us in full. However, if a lease is rejected by a tenant in bankruptcy, we would have only a general unsecured claim for damages, including pre-bankruptcy balances. Any unsecured claim we hold may be paid only to the extent that funds are available and only in the same percentage as is paid to all other holders of unsecured claims, and there are restrictions under bankruptcy laws that limit the amount of the claim we can make if a lease is rejected. As a result, it is likely that we would recover substantially less than the full value of any unsecured claims we hold from a tenant in bankruptcy, which would result in a reduction in our cash flow and in the amount of cash available for distribution to our shareholders.


Moreover, we are continually re-leasing vacant spaces resulting from tenant lease terminations. The bankruptcy of a tenant, particularly an anchor tenant, may make it more difficult to lease the remainder of the affected properties. Future tenant bankruptcies could materially adversely affect our properties or impact our ability to successfully execute our re-leasing strategy.
We had $1.7$1.5 billion of consolidated indebtedness outstanding as of December 31, 2016,2018, which may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations and reduce our ability to incur additional indebtedness to fund our growth.
 


Required repayments of debt and related interest charges, along with any applicable prepayment premium, may materially adversely affect our operating performance. We had $1.7$1.5 billion of consolidated outstanding indebtedness as of December 31, 2016.2018.  At December 31, 2016, $594.02018, $464.1 million of our debt bore interest at variable rates ($119.772.9 million when reduced by our $474.3$391.2 million of fixed interest rate swaps). Interest rates are currently low relative to historical levels and may increase significantly in the future. If our interest expense increased significantly, it could materially adversely affect our results of operations. For example, if market rates of interest on our variable rate debt outstanding, net of cash flow hedges, as of December 31, 20162018 increased by 1%, the increase in interest expense on our unhedged variable rate debt would decrease future cash flows by approximately $1.2$0.7 million annually.
 
 
We may incur additional debt in connection with various development and redevelopment projects and may incur additional debt upon the future acquisition of operating properties. Our organizational documents do not limit the amount of indebtedness that we may incur. We may borrow new funds to develop or acquire properties. In addition, we may increase our mortgage debt by obtaining loans secured by some or all of the real estate properties we develop or acquire. We also may borrow funds if necessary to satisfy the requirement that we distribute to shareholders at least 90% of our annual “REIT taxable income” (determined before the deduction of dividends paid and excluding net capital gains) or otherwise as is necessary or advisable to ensure that we maintain our qualification as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes or otherwise avoid paying taxes that can be eliminated through distributions to our shareholders.
 
 
Our substantial debt could materially and adversely affect our business in other ways, including by, among other things:
 
requiring us to use a substantial portion of our funds from operations to pay principal and interest, which reduces the amount available for distributions;
placing us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that have less debt;
making us more vulnerable to economic and industry downturns and reducing our flexibility in responding to changing business and economic conditions; and
limiting our ability to borrow more money for operating or capital needs or to finance development and acquisitions in the future.


Agreements with lenders supporting our unsecured revolving credit facility and various other loan agreements contain default provisions which, among other things, could result in the acceleration of principal and interest payments or the termination of the facilities.
 
 
Our unsecured revolving credit facility and various other debt agreements contain certain Events of Default which include, but are not limited to, failure to make principal or interest payments when due, failure to perform or observe any term, covenant or condition contained in the agreements, failure to maintain certain financial and operating ratios and other criteria, misrepresentations, acceleration of other material indebtedness and bankruptcy proceedings.  In the event of a default under any of these agreements, the lender would have various rights including, but not limited to, the ability to require the acceleration of the payment of all principal and interest due and/or to terminate the agreements and, to the extent such debt is secured, to foreclose on the properties.  The declaration of a default and/or the acceleration of the amount due under any such credit agreement could have a material adverse effect on our business, limit our ability to make distributions to our shareholders, and prevent us from obtaining additional funds needed to address cash shortfalls or pursue growth opportunities.


Certain of our loan agreements contain cross-default provisions which provide that a violation by the Company of any financial covenant set forth in our unsecured revolving credit facility agreement will constitute an event of default under such loans.  The agreements relating to our unsecured revolving credit facility, Term Loan Bunsecured term loan and 7-Year Term Loanseven-year unsecured term loan contain provisions providing that any “Event of Default” under one of these facilities or loans will constitute an “Event of Default” under the other facility or loan. In addition, these agreements relating to our unsecured revolving credit facility, Term Loan Bunsecured


term loan and 7-Year Term Loan,seven-year unsecured term loan, as well as the agreement relating to our Notes,senior unsecured notes, include a provision providing that any payment default under an agreement relating to any material indebtedness will constitute an “Event of Default” thereunder. These provisions could allow the lending institutions to accelerate the amount due under the loans.  If payment is accelerated, our assets may not be sufficient to repay such debt in full, and, as a result, such an event may have a material adverse effect on our cash flow, financial condition and results of operations.  We were in compliance with all applicable covenants under the agreements relating to our unsecured revolving credit


facility, Term Loan B, 7-Year Term Loanunsecured term loan and Notesseven-year unsecured term loan and senior unsecured notes as of December 31, 2016,2018, although there can be no assurance that we will continue to remain in compliance in the future.

Mortgage debt obligations expose us to the possibility of foreclosure, which could result in the loss of our investment in a property or group of properties subject to mortgage debt.
 
 
A significant amount of our indebtedness is secured by our real estate assets. If a property or group of properties is mortgaged to secure payment of debt and we are unable to make the required periodic mortgage payments, the lender or the holder of the mortgage could foreclose on the property, resulting in the loss of our investment. For tax purposes, a foreclosure of any of our properties would be treated as a sale of the property for a purchase price equal to the outstanding balance of the debt secured by the mortgage. If the outstanding balance of the debt secured by the mortgage exceeds our tax basis in the property, we would recognize taxable income on foreclosure, but we would not receive any cash proceeds, which could hinder our ability to meet the REIT distribution requirements imposed by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). If any of our properties are foreclosed on due to a default, our ability to pay cash distributions to our shareholders and our earnings will be limited.  In addition, as a result of cross-collateralization or cross-default provisions contained in certain of our mortgage loans, a default under one mortgage loan could result in a default on other indebtedness and cause us to lose other better performing properties, which could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
 
 
We are subject to risks associated with hedging agreements.
 
We use a combination of interest rate protection agreements, including interest rate swaps, to manage risk associated with interest rate volatility. This may expose us to additional risks, including a risk that the counterparty to a hedging arrangement may fail to honor its obligations. Developing an effective interest rate risk strategy is complex and no strategy can completely insulate us from risks associated with interest rate fluctuations. There can be no assurance that our hedging activities will have the desired beneficial effect on our results of operations or financial condition. Further, should we choose to terminate a hedging agreement, there could be significant costs and cash requirements involved to fulfill our initial obligation under such agreement.
 
Our performance and value are subject to risks associated with real estate assets andWe may be adversely affected by changes in LIBOR reporting practices, the real estate industry.
Our ability to make expected distributions to our shareholders depends on our being able to generate substantial revenues from our properties. Periods of economic slowdown or recession, rising interest rates or declining demand for real estate,method in which LIBOR is determined or the public perceptionuse of alternative reference rates.

As of December 31, 2018, we had approximately $464.1 million of debt outstanding that was indexed to the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”). In July 2017, the United Kingdom regulator that regulates LIBOR announced its intention to phase out LIBOR rates by the end of 2021. It is not possible to predict the further effect of this announcement, any changes in the methods by which LIBOR is determined or any other reforms to LIBOR that may be enacted in the United Kingdom, the European Union or elsewhere.  In April 2018, the New York Federal Reserve commenced publishing an alternative reference rate, the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), proposed by a group of these eventsmajor market participants convened by the U.S. Federal Reserve with participation by SEC Staff and other regulators, the Alternative Reference Rates Committee ("ARRC"). SOFR is based on transactions in the more robust U.S. Treasury repurchase market and has been proposed as the alternative to LIBOR for use in derivatives and other financial contracts that currently rely on LIBOR as a reference rate. ARRC has proposed a paced market transition plan to SOFR from LIBOR and organizations are currently working on industry-wide and company-specific transition plans as it relates to derivatives and cash markets exposed to LIBOR. At this time, no consensus exists as to what rate or rates may occur,become accepted alternatives to LIBOR, and it is impossible to predict whether and to what extent banks will continue to provide LIBOR submissions to the administrator of LIBOR, whether LIBOR rates will cease to be published or supported before or after 2021 or whether any additional reforms to LIBOR may be enacted in the United Kingdom or elsewhere. Such developments and any other legal or regulatory changes in the method by which LIBOR is determined or the transition from LIBOR to a successor benchmark may result in, among other things, a sudden or prolonged increase or decrease in LIBOR, a delay in the publication of LIBOR, and changes in the rules or methodologies in LIBOR, which may discourage market participants from continuing to administer or to participate in LIBOR’s determination and, in certain situations, could result in LIBOR no longer being determined and published. If a general declinepublished U.S. dollar LIBOR rate is unavailable after 2021, the interest rates on our debt which is indexed to LIBOR will be determined using various alternative methods, any of which may result in rentsinterest obligations which are more than or an increased incidencedo not otherwise correlate over time with the payments that would have been made on such debt if U.S. dollar LIBOR was available in its current form. Further, the same costs and risks that may lead to the unavailability of defaults under existing leases. Such events would materially and adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, per share trading price of our common shares and our ability to satisfy debt service obligations and toU.S. dollar LIBOR may make distributions to shareholders.
In addition, other events and conditions generally applicable to owners and operators of real property that are beyond our control may decrease cash available for distribution and the value of our properties. These events include but are not limited to:
adverse changes in the national, regional and local economic climate, particularly in Florida, where 24% of our total annualized base rent is located; Indiana, where 14% of our total annualized base rent is located; and Texas, where 13% of our total annualized base rent is located;
tenant bankruptcies;
local oversupply of rental space, increased competition or reduction in demand for rentable space;
inability to collect rent from tenants or having to provide significant rent concessions to tenants;
vacancies or our inability to rent space on favorable terms;
downward trends in market rental rates;


inabilityone or more of the alternative methods impossible or impracticable to finance property development, tenant improvements and acquisitionsdetermine. Any of these proposals or consequences could have a material adverse effect on favorable terms;
increased operating costs, including costs incurred for maintenance, insurance premiums, utilities and real estate taxes and a decrease in our ability to recover such increased costs from our tenants;
the need to periodically fund the costs to repair, renovate and re-lease spaces in our operating properties;
decreased attractiveness of our properties to tenants;
weather conditions that may increase energyfinancing costs, and other weather-related expenses, such as snow removal costs;
changes in lawsa result, our financial condition, operating results and governmental regulations and costs of complying with such changed laws and governmental regulations, including those involving health, safety, usage, zoning, the environment and taxes;
civil unrest, acts of terrorism, earthquakes, hurricanes and other national disasters or acts of God that may result in underinsured or uninsured losses;
the relative illiquidity of real estate investments;
changing demographics (including the number of households and average household income surrounding our properties); and
changing customer traffic patterns.cash flows.


Our financial covenants may restrict our operating and acquisition activities.
 
 
Our unsecured revolving credit facility contains certain financial and operating covenants, including, among other things, certain coverage ratios, as well as limitations on our ability to incur debt, make dividend payments, sell all or substantially all of our assets and engage in mergers and consolidations and certain acquisitions. These covenants may restrict our ability to pursue certain business initiatives or certain acquisition transactions. In addition, certain of our mortgages contain customary covenants which, among other things, limit our ability, without the prior consent of the lender, to further mortgage the property, to enter into new leases or materially modify existing leases, and to discontinue insurance coverage.  Failure to meet any of the financial covenants could cause an event of default under and/or accelerate some or all of our indebtedness, which could have a material adverse effect on us.
 
 
Our current and any future joint venture investments could be adversely affected by our lack of sole decision-making authority, our reliance on joint venture partners’ financial condition, any disputes that may arise between us and our joint venture partners and our exposure to potential losses from the actions of our joint venture partners.
 
As of December 31, 2016,2018, we owned 10interests in two of our operating properties through consolidated joint ventures and oneinterests in four properties through an unconsolidated joint venture. As of December 31, 2016, the 10 properties represented 12.2% of the annualized base rent of the portfolio.ventures. In addition, we currently own land held for development through one consolidated joint venture.  Our joint ventures may involve risks not present with respect to our wholly owned properties, including the following:

 
we may share decision-making authority with our joint venture partners regarding certain major decisions affecting the ownership or operation of the joint venture and the joint venture property, such as the sale of the property or the making of additional capital contributions for the benefit of the property, which may prevent us from taking actions that are opposed by our joint venture partners;
prior consent of our joint venture partners may be required for a sale or transfer to a third party of our interests in the joint venture, which restricts our ability to dispose of our interest in the joint venture;
our joint venture partners might become bankrupt or fail to fund their share of required capital contributions, which may delay construction or development of a property or increase our financial commitment to the joint venture;


our joint venture partners may have business interests or goals with respect to the property that conflict with our business interests and goals, which could increase the likelihood of disputes regarding the ownership, management or disposition of the property;
disputes may develop with our joint venture partners over decisions affecting the property or the joint venture, which may result in litigation or arbitration that would increase our expenses and distract our officers and/or trustees from focusing their time and effort on our business and possibly disrupt the day-to-day operations of the property, such as by delaying the implementation of important decisions until the conflict or dispute is resolved; and
we may suffer losses as a result of the actions of our joint venture partners with respect to our joint venture investments, and the activities of a joint venture could adversely affect our ability to qualify as a REIT, even though we may not control the joint venture.


In the future, we may seek to co-invest with third parties through joint ventures that may involve similar or additional risks.
  
We face significant competition, which may impede our ability to renew leases or re-lease space as leases expire or require us to undertake unexpected capital improvements.
We compete with numerous developers, owners and operators of retail shopping centers, regional malls, and outlet malls for tenants. These competitors include institutional investors, other REITs and other owner-operators of community and neighborhood shopping centers, some of which own or may in the future own properties similar to ours in the same markets as ours but which have greater capital resources. As of December 31, 2016, leases representing 7.3% of our total annualized base rent were scheduled to expire in 2017.  If our competitors offer space at rental rates below current market rates, or below the rental rates we currently charge our tenants, we may be unable to lease on satisfactory terms and we may be pressured to reduce our rental rates below those we currently charge in order to retain tenants when our leases with them expire. We also may be required to offer more substantial rent abatements, tenant improvements and early termination rights or accommodate requests for renovations, build-to-suit remodeling and other improvements than we have historically.  As a result, our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, trading price of our common shares and ability to satisfy our debt service obligations and to pay distributions to our shareholders may be materially adversely affected. In addition, increased competition for tenants may require us to make capital improvements to properties that we would not have otherwise planned to make which would reduce cash available for distributions to shareholders. If retailers or consumers perceive that shopping at other venues, online or by phone is more convenient, cost-effective or otherwise more attractive, our revenues and profitability also may suffer.
Our future developments, redevelopments and acquisitions may not yield the returns we expect or may result in dilution in shareholder value.
 
 
As of December 31, 2016,2018, we have twoone development projectsproject and 10 3-Rfour redevelopment projects under construction.construction or in the planning stage, including de-leasing space and evaluating development plans and costs with potential tenants and partners. Some of these plans include non-retail uses, such as multifamily housing. New development and redevelopment projects and property acquisitions are subject to a number of risks, including, but not limited to:
 


abandonment of development and redevelopment activities after expending resources to determine feasibility;
construction delays or cost overruns that may increase project costs;
the failure of our pre-acquisition investigation of a property or building, , and any related representations we may receive from the seller, to reveal various liabilities or defects or identify necessary repairs until after the property is acquired, which could reduce the cash flow from the property or increase our acquisition costs;
as a result of competition for attractive development and acquisition opportunities, we may be unable to acquire assets as we desire or the purchase price may be significantly elevated, which may impede our growth;
the failure to meet anticipated occupancy or rent levels within the projected time frame, if at all;
inability to operate successfully in new markets where new properties are located;


inability to successfully integrate new properties into existing operations;
exposure to fluctuations in the general economy due to the significant time lag between commencement and completion of development and redevelopment projects;
failure to receive required zoning, occupancy, land use and other governmental permits and authorizations and changes in applicable zoning and land use laws; and
difficulty or inability to obtain any required consents of third parties, such as tenants, mortgage lenders and joint venture partners

partners.

In addition, if a project is delayed or if we are unable to lease designated space to anchor tenants, certain other tenants may have the right to terminate their leases.leases or modify the terms in a manner that is disadvantageous to us. If any of these situations occur, development costs for a project may increase, which may result in reduced returns, or even losses, from such investments. In deciding whether to acquire, develop, or redevelop a particular property, we make certain assumptions regarding the expected future performance of that property. If these properties do not perform as expected, our financial performance may be materially and adversely affected, or an impairment charge could occur. In addition, the issuance of equity securities as consideration for any significant acquisitions could be dilutive to our shareholders.
 
WeTo the extent that we pursue acquisitions in the future, we may not be successful in acquiring desirable operating properties, for which we face significant competition, or identifying development and redevelopment projects that meet our investment criteria, both of which may impede our growth.
 
Part ofFrom time to time, consistent with our business strategy, is expansion through property acquisitions and development and redevelopment projects, which requires us to identify suitable opportunities that meet our criteria and are compatible with our growth and profitability strategies. We continue towe evaluate the market and may acquire properties when we believe strategic opportunities exist. However,When we pursue acquisitions, we may be unable to acquire a desired property because of competition from other real estate investors with substantial capital, including other REITs and institutional investment funds. Even if we are able to acquire a desired property, competition from other potential acquirers may significantly increase the purchase price, reducing the return to our shareholders. Additionally, we may not be successful in identifying suitable real estate properties or other assets that meet our development or redevelopment criteria, or we may fail to complete developments, redevelopments, acquisitions or investments on satisfactory terms. Failure to identify or complete developments, redevelopments or acquisitions could slow our growth, which could in turn materially adversely affect our operations.  Furthermore, when we pursue acquisitions, we may agree to provisions that materially restrict us from selling that property for a period of time or impose other restrictions, such as limitations on the amount of debt that can be placed or repaid on that property. These factors and any others that would impede our ability to respond to adverse changes in the performance of our properties could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
 
Development and redevelopment activities may be delayed or may not perform as expected and, in the case of an unsuccessful project, our entire investment could be at risk for loss.
 
 
We currently have twoone development projectsproject and 10 3-R projectsone redevelopment project under construction. We have also identified 10three additional 3-Rredevelopment opportunities at our operating properties and expect to commence redevelopment in the future. In connection with any development or redevelopment of our properties, we will bear certain risks, including the risk of construction delays or cost overruns that may increase project costs and make a project uneconomical, the risk that occupancy or rental rates at a completed project will not be sufficient to enable us to pay operating expenses or earn the targeted rate of return on investment, and the risk of incurrence of predevelopment costs in connection with projects that are not pursued to completion. In addition, various tenants may have the right to withdraw from a property if a development or redevelopment project is not completed on schedule and


required third-party consents may be withheld. In the case of an unsuccessful redevelopment project, our entire investment could be at risk for loss, or an impairment charge could occur.
 
We may not be able to sell properties when appropriate or on terms favorable to us and could, under certain circumstances, be required to pay a 100% "prohibited transaction" penalty tax related to the properties we sell.
 
 
Real estate property investments generally cannot be sold quickly. Our ability to dispose of properties on advantageous terms depends on factors beyond our control, including competition from other sellers and the availability of attractive financing for potential buyers of our properties, and we cannot predict the various market conditions affecting real estate investments that


will exist at any particular time in the future.  Before a property can be sold, we may need to make expenditures to correct defects or to make improvements. We may not have funds available to correct such defects or to make such improvements, and if we cannot do so, we might not be able to sell the property or might be required to sell the property on unfavorable terms. Furthermore,With respect to our plan announced in acquiring a property, we might agreeFebruary 2019 to provisions that materially restrict us from selling that property for a period of time or impose other restrictions, such as limitations on the amount of debt thatmarket and sell up to $500 million in non-core assets, there can be placedno assurances that we will successfully complete the dispositions or repaid on that property. These factors and any others that would impede our ability to respond to adverse changes in the performanceexecution of our plan will enhance shareholder value. We may not be able to dispose of any of the properties could adversely affecton terms favorable to us or at all, and each individual sale will depend on, among other things, economic and market conditions, individual asset characteristics and the availability of potential buyers and favorable financing terms at the time. Further, we will incur marketing expenses and other transaction costs in connection with dispositions, and the process of marketing and selling a large pool of properties may distract the attention of our financial condition and resultspersonnel from the operation of operations.

our business.
 
Also, the tax laws applicable to REITs impose a 100% penalty tax on any net income from “prohibited transactions.” In general, prohibited transactions are sales or other dispositions of property held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of business. The determination as to whether a particular sale is a prohibited transaction depends on the facts and circumstances related to that sale. The need to avoid prohibited transactions could cause us to forego or defer sales of properties that might otherwise be in our best interest to sell. Therefore, we may be unable to adjust our portfolio mix promptly in response to market conditions, which may adversely affect our financial position. In addition, we will be subject to income taxes on gains from the sale of any properties owned by any taxable REIT subsidiary.
 
Uninsured losses or losses in excess of insurance coverage could materially and adversely affect our cash flow, financial condition and results of operations.
 
 
We do not carry insurance for generally uninsurable losses such as loss from riots, war or acts of God, and, in some cases, flooding. Some of our policies, such as those covering losses due to terrorism and floods, are insured subject to limitations involving large deductibles or co-payments and policy limits that may not be sufficient to cover all losses.  In addition, tenants generally are required to indemnify and hold us harmless from liabilities resulting from injury to persons or damage to personal or real property, on the premises, due to activities conducted by tenants or their agents on the properties (including without limitation any environmental contamination) and, at the tenant’s expense, to obtain and keep in full force during the term of the lease, liability and property damage insurance policies. However, tenants may not properly maintain their insurance policies or have the ability to pay the deductibles associated with such policies.  If we experience a loss that is uninsured or that exceeds policy limits, we could lose the capital invested in the damaged properties as well as the anticipated future cash flows from those properties. Inflation, changes in building codes and ordinances, environmental considerations, and other factors also might make it impractical or undesirable to use insurance proceeds to replace a property after it has been damaged or destroyed. In addition, if the damaged properties are subject to recourse indebtedness, we would continue to be liable for the indebtedness, even if these properties were irreparably damaged.
 
Insurance coverage on our properties may be expensive or difficult to obtain, exposing us to potential risk of loss.
 
 
In the future, we may be unable to renew or duplicate our current insurance coverage at adequate levels or at reasonable prices. In addition, insurance companies may no longer offer coverage against certain types of losses, such as losses due to terrorist acts, environmental liabilities, or other catastrophic events including hurricanes and floods, or, if offered, the expense of obtaining these types of insurance may not be justified. We therefore may cease to have insurance coverage against certain types of losses and/or there may be decreases in the limits of insurance available. If an uninsured loss or a loss in excess of our insured limits occurs, we could lose all or a portion of the capital we have invested in a property, as well as the anticipated future revenue from the property after a covered period of time, but still remain obligated for any mortgage debt or other financial obligations related to the property. We cannot guarantee that material losses in excess of insurance proceeds will not occur in the future. If any of our properties were to experience a catastrophic loss, it could seriously disrupt our operations, delay revenue and result in large expenses to repair or rebuild the property. Events such as these could adversely affect our results of operations and our ability to meet our financial obligations.
 


Rising operating expenses could reduce our cash flow and funds available for future distributions, particularly if such expenses are not offset by an increase in corresponding revenues.
 
 
Our existing properties and any properties we develop or acquire in the future are and will continue to be subject to operating risks common to real estate in general, any or all of which may negatively affect us. The expenses of owning and operating


properties generally do not decrease, and may increase, when circumstances such as market factors and competition cause a reduction in income from the properties. Our properties continue to be subject to increases in real estate and other tax rates, utility costs, operating expenses, insurance costs, repairs and maintenance and administrative expenses, regardless of such properties’ occupancy rates. As a result, if any property is not fully occupied or if rents are being paid in an amount that is insufficient to cover operating expenses, we could be required to expend funds for that property’s operating expenses. Therefore, rising operating expenses could reduce our cash flow and funds available for future distributions, particularly if such expenses are not offset by corresponding revenues.

Our business faces potential risks associated with natural disasters, severe weather conditions and climate change, which could have an adverse effect on our cash flow and operating results.

Changing weather patterns and climatic conditions may affect the predictability and frequency of natural disasters in some parts of the world and create additional uncertainty as to future trends and exposures, including certain areas in which our portfolio is concentrated such as Texas and Florida. Our properties are located in many areas that are subject to or have been affected by natural disasters and severe weather conditions such as hurricanes, tropical storms, tornadoes, earthquakes, droughts, floods and fires. Over time, the occurrence of natural disasters, severe weather conditions and changing climatic conditions can delay new development and redevelopment projects, increase repair costs and future insurance costs and negatively impact the demand for lease space in the affected areas, or in extreme cases, affect our ability to operate the properties at all. These risks could have an adverse effect on our cash flow and operating results.

We could incur significant costs related to environmental matters.
 
 
Under various federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations, an owner or operator of real estate may be required to investigate and clean up hazardous or toxic substances or petroleum product releases at a property and may be held liable to a governmental entity or to third parties for property damage and for investigation and clean-up costs incurred by such parties in connection with contamination. The cost of investigation, remediation or removal of such substances may be substantial, and the presence of such substances, or the failure to properly remediate such substances, may adversely affect the owner’s ability to sell or rent such property or to borrow using such property as collateral. In connection with the ownership, operation and management of real properties, we are potentially liable for removal or remediation costs, as well as certain other related costs, including governmental fines and injuries to persons and property.  We may also be liable to third parties for damage and injuries resulting from environmental contamination emanating from the real estate.  Environmental laws also may create liens on contaminated sites in favor of the government for damages and costs it incurs to address such contamination.  Moreover, if contamination is discovered on our properties, environmental laws may impose restrictions on the manner in which that property may be used or how businesses may be operated on that property.
 
 
Some of the properties in our portfolio contain, may have contained or are adjacent to or near other properties that have contained or currently contain underground storage tanks for petroleum products or other hazardous or toxic substances. These tanks may have released, or have the potential to release, such substances into the environment. In addition, some of our properties have tenants that may use hazardous or toxic substances in the routine course of their businesses. In general, these tenants have covenanted in their leases with us to use these substances, if any, in compliance with all environmental laws and have agreed to indemnify us for any damages that we may suffer as a result of their use of such substances. However, these lease provisions may not fully protect us in the event that a tenant becomes insolvent. Finally, onecertain of our properties hashave contained asbestos-containing building materials, or ACBM, and another propertyother properties may have contained such materials based on the date of its construction. Environmental laws require that ACBM be properly managed and maintained, and may impose fines and penalties on building owners or operators for failure to comply with these requirements. The laws also may allow third parties to seek recovery from owners or operators for personal injury associated with exposure to asbestos fibers.
 
Our efforts to identify environmental liabilities may not be successful.
 
 
We test our properties for compliance with applicable environmental laws on a limited basis. We cannot give assurance that:

existing environmental studies with respect to our properties reveal all potential environmental liabilities;


any previous owner, occupant or tenant of one of our properties did not create any material environmental condition not known to us;
the current environmental condition of our properties will not be affected by tenants and occupants, by the condition of nearby properties, or by other unrelated third parties; or
future uses or conditions (including, without limitation, changes in applicable environmental laws and regulations or the interpretation thereof) will not result in environmental liabilities.


Compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act and fire, safety and other regulations may require us to make expenditures that adversely affect our cash flows.


flows and results of operations. 
 
Our properties must comply with Title III of the ADA to the extent that such properties are public accommodations as defined by the ADA. The ADA may require removal of structural barriers to access by persons with disabilities in certain public areas of our properties where such removal is readily achievable. Noncompliance with the ADA could result in imposition of finesorders requiring us to spend substantial sums to cure violations, pay attorneys' fees, or an award of damages to private litigants and the incurrence of additional costs associated with bringing the properties into compliance.pay other amounts. Although we believe the properties in our portfolio substantially comply with present requirements of the ADA, we have not conducted an audit or investigation of all of our properties to determine our compliance. While the tenants to whom our properties are leased are obligated by law to comply with the ADA provisions, and typically under tenant leases are obligated to cover costs associated with compliance, if required changes involve greater expenditures than anticipated, or if the changes must be made on a more accelerated basis than anticipated, the ability of these tenants to cover costs could be adversely affected. As a result, we could be required to expend funds to comply with the provisions of the ADA, which could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. In addition, we are required to operate the properties in compliance with fire and safety regulations, building codes and other land use regulations, as they may be adopted by governmental agencies and bodies and become applicable to the properties. We may be required to make substantial capital expenditures to comply with, and we may be restricted in our ability to renovate the properties subject to, those requirements. The resulting expenditures and restrictions could have a material adverse effect on our ability to meet our financial obligations.obligations, as well as our cash flows and results of operations.


Inflation may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
 
 
Most of our leases contain provisions requiring the tenant to pay a share of operating expenses, including common area maintenance, real estate taxes and insurance.  However, increased inflation could have a more pronounced negative impact on our mortgage and debt interest and general and administrative expenses, as these costs could increase at a rate higher than our rents. Also, inflation may adversely affect tenant leases with stated rent increases or limits on such tenant’s obligation to pay its share of operating expenses, which could be lower than the increase in inflation at any given time.  It may also limit our ability to recover all of our operating expenses. Inflation could also have an adverse effect on consumer spending, which could impact our tenants’ sales and, in turn, our average rents, and in some cases, our percentage rents, where applicable.  In addition, renewals of leases or future leases may not be negotiated on current terms, in which event we may recover a smaller percentage of our operating expenses.
 
 
Rising interest rates could increase our borrowing costs, thereby adversely affecting our cash flows and the amounts available for distributions to our shareholders, as well as decrease our share price, if investors seek higher yields through other investments.


An environment of rising interest rates could lead investors to seek higher yields through other investments, which could adversely affect the market price of our common shares. One of the factors that may influence the price of our common shares in public markets is the rate of annual distribution ratecash distributions we pay as compared with the yields on alternative investments. Several other factors, such as governmental regulatory action and tax laws, could have a significant impact on the future market price of our common shares. In addition, increases in market interest rates could result in increased borrowing costs for us, which may adversely affect our cash flow and the amounts available for distributions to our shareholders.


We and our tenants face risks relating to cybersecurity attacks that could cause loss of confidential information and other business disruptions.


We rely extensively on computer systems to process transactions and manage our business, and our business is at risk from and may be impacted by cybersecurity attacks. These could include attempts to gain unauthorized access to our data and computer systems. Attacks can be both individual and/or highly organized attempts by very sophisticated hacking organizations. A cybersecurity attack could compromise the confidential information of our employees, tenants, and vendors. Additionally, we rely on a number of service providers and vendors, and cybersecurity risks at these service providers and vendors create additional


risks for our information and business. A successful attack could lead to identity theft, fraud or other disruptions to our business operations, any of which may negatively affect our results of operations.



We employ a number of measures to prevent, detect and mitigate these threats. These prevention measures include password protection, frequent password change events, firewall detection systems, frequent backups, a redundant data system for core applications and penetration testing. We conduct periodic assessments of (i) the nature, sensitivity and location of information that we collect, process and store and the technology systems we use; (ii) internal and external cybersecurity threats to and vulnerabilities of our information and technology systems; (iii) security controls and processes currently in place; (iv) the impact should our technology systems become compromised; and (v) the effectiveness of our management of cybersecurity risk. The results of these assessments are used to create and implement a strategy designed to prevent, detect and respond to cybersecurity threats. However, there is no guarantee such efforts will be successful in preventing a cyber-attack.
 
RISKS RELATED TO OUR ORGANIZATION AND STRUCTURE
 
Our organizational documents contain provisions that generally would prohibit any person (other than members of the Kite family who, as a group, are currently allowed to own up to 21.5% of our outstanding common shares) from beneficially owning more than 7% of our outstanding common shares (or up to 9.8% in the case of certain designated investment entities, as defined in our declaration of trust), which may discourage third parties from conducting a tender offer or seeking other change of control transactions that could involve a premium price for our shares or otherwise benefit our shareholders.
 
 
Our organizational documents contain provisions that may have an anti-takeover effect and inhibit a change in our management.
 
 
(1)  There are ownership limits and restrictions on transferability in our declaration of trust. In order for us to qualify as a REIT, no more than 50% of the value of our outstanding shares may be owned, actually or constructively, by five or fewer individuals at any time during the last half of each taxable year. To make sure that we will not fail to satisfy this requirement and for anti-takeover reasons, our declaration of trust generally prohibits any shareholder (other than an excepted holder or certain designated investment entities, as defined in our declaration of trust) from owning (actually, constructively or by attribution), more than 7% of the value or number of our outstanding common shares. Our declaration of trust provides an excepted holder limit that allows members of the Kite family (Al Kite, John Kite and Paul Kite, their family members and certain entities controlled by one or more of the Kites), as a group, to own more than 7% of our outstanding common shares, so long as, under the applicable tax attribution rules, no one excepted holder treated as an individual would hold more than 21.5% of our common shares, no two excepted holders treated as individuals would own more than 28.5% of our common shares, no three excepted holders treated as individuals would own more than 35.5% of our common shares, no four excepted holders treated as individuals would own more than 42.5% of our common shares, and no five excepted holders treated as individuals would own more than 49.5% of our common shares. Currently, one of the excepted holders would be attributed all of the common shares owned by each other excepted holder and, accordingly, the excepted holders as a group would not be allowed to own in excess of 21.5% of our common shares. If at a later time, there were not one excepted holder that would be attributed all of the shares owned by the excepted holders as a group, the excepted holder limit would not permit each excepted holder to own 21.5% of our common shares. Rather, the excepted holder limit would prevent two or more excepted holders who are treated as individuals under the applicable tax attribution rules from owning a higher percentage of our common shares than the maximum amount of common shares that could be owned by any one excepted holder (21.5%), plus the maximum amount of common shares that could be owned by any one or more other individual common shareholders who are not excepted holders (7%). Certain entities that are defined as designated investment entities in our declaration of trust, which generally include pension funds, mutual funds, and certain investment management companies, are permitted to own up to 9.8% of our outstanding common shares, so long as each beneficial owner of the shares owned by such designated investment entity would satisfy the 7% ownership limit if those beneficial owners owned directly their proportionate share of the common shares owned by the designated investment entity. Our Board of Trustees may waive, and has waived in the past, the 7% ownership limit or the 9.8% designated investment entity limit for a shareholder that is not an individual if such shareholder provides information and makes representations that are satisfactory to the Board of Trustees, in its reasonable discretion, to establish that such person’s ownership in excess of the 7% limit or the 9.8% limit, as applicable, would not jeopardize our qualification as a REIT. In addition, our declaration of trust contains certain other ownership restrictions intended to prevent us from earning income from related parties if such income would cause us to fail to comply with the REIT gross income requirements. The various ownership restrictions may:


discourage a tender offer or other transactions or a change in management or control that might involve a premium price for our shares or otherwise be in the best interests of our shareholders; or


compel a shareholder who has acquired our shares in excess of these ownership limitations to dispose of the additional shares and, as a result, to forfeit the benefits of owning the additional shares. Any acquisition of our common shares in violation of these ownership restrictions will be void ab initio and will result in automatic transfers of our common shares to a charitable trust, which will be responsible for selling the common shares to permitted transferees and distributing at least a portion of the proceeds to the prohibited transferees.


(2)   Our declaration of trust permits our Board of Trustees to issue preferred shares with terms that may discourage a third party from acquiring us. Our declaration of trust permits our Board of Trustees to issue up to 40,000,000 preferred shares, having those preferences, conversion or other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to distributions, qualifications, or terms or conditions of redemption as determined by our Board of Trustees. Thus, our Board of Trustees could authorize the issuance of additional preferred shares with terms and conditions that could have the effect of discouraging a takeover or other transaction in which holders of some or a majority of our shares might receive a premium for their shares over the then-prevailing market price of our shares. In addition, any preferred shares that we issue likely would rank senior to our common shares with respect to payment of distributions, in which case we could not pay any distributions on our common shares until full distributions were paid with respect to such preferred shares.
 
(3)   Our declaration of trust and bylaws contain other possible anti-takeover provisions. Our declaration of trust and bylaws contain other provisions that may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of our company or the removal of existing management and, as a result, could prevent our shareholders from being paid a premium for their common shares over the then-prevailing market prices. These provisions include advance notice requirements for shareholder proposals and our Board of Trustees’ power to reclassify shares and issue additional common shares or preferred shares and the absence of cumulative voting rights.  Furthermore, our Board of Trustees has the sole power to amend our bylaws and may amend our bylaws in a way that may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of our company or the removal of existing management or may otherwise be detrimental to your interests.
 

Certain provisions of Maryland law could inhibit changes in control.
 
 
Certain provisions of Maryland law may have the effect of inhibiting a third party from making a proposal to acquire us or of impeding a change of control under circumstances that otherwise could provide the holders of our common shares with the opportunity to realize a premium over the then-prevailing market price of such shares, including:

“business combination moratorium/fair price” provisions that, subject to limitations, prohibit certain business combinations between us and an “interested shareholder” (defined generally as any person who beneficially owns 10% or more of the voting power of our shares or an affiliate thereof) for five years after the most recent date on which the shareholder becomes an interested shareholder, and thereafter imposes stringent fair price and super-majority shareholder voting requirements on these combinations; and
“control share” provisions that provide that “control shares” of our company (defined as shares which, when aggregated with other shares controlled by the shareholder, entitle the shareholder to exercise one of three increasing ranges of voting power in electing trustees) acquired in a “control share acquisition” (defined as the direct or indirect acquisition of ownership or control of “control shares” from a party other than the issuer) have no voting rights except to the extent approved by our shareholders by the affirmative vote of at least two thirds of all the votes entitled to be cast on the matter, excluding all interested shares, and are subject to redemption in certain circumstances.


We have opted out of these provisions of Maryland law. However, our Board of Trustees may opt to make these provisions applicable to us at any time.
 
A substantial number of common shares eligible for future issuance or sale could cause our common share price to decline significantly and may be dilutive to current shareholders.
 


Our declaration of trust authorizes our Board of Trustees to, among other things, issue additional common shares without shareholder approval. The issuance of substantial numbers of our common shares in the public market or the perception that such issuances might occur could adversely affect the per share trading price of our common shares. In addition, any such issuance could dilute our existing shareholders' interests in our company. Furthermore, if our shareholders sell, or the market perceives that our shareholders intend to sell, substantial amounts of our common shares in the public market, the market price of our common shares could decline significantly. These sales also might make it more difficult for us to sell equity or equity-related securities


in the future at a time and price that we deem appropriate. As of December 31, 2016,2018, we had outstanding 83,545,39883,800,886 common shares, and substantially all of these shareswhich are freely tradable.  In addition, 1,942,3402,035,349 units of our Operating Partnership were owned by our executive officers and other individuals as of December 31, 2016,2018, and are redeemable by the holder for cash or, at our election, common shares. Pursuant to registration rights of certain of our executive officers and other individuals, we filed a registration statement with the SEC to register common shares issued (or issuable upon redemption of units in our Operating Partnership) in our formation transactions. As units are redeemed for common shares, the market price of our common shares could drop significantly if the holders of such shares sell them or are perceived by the market as intending to sell them.
 
Certain officers and trustees may have interests that conflict with the interests of shareholders.
 
 
Certain of our officers own limited partner units in our Operating Partnership. These individuals may have personal interests that conflict with the interests of our shareholders with respect to business decisions affecting us and our Operating Partnership, such as interests in the timing and pricing of property sales or refinancingsrefinancing transactions in order to obtain favorable tax treatment. As a result, the effect of certain transactions on these unit holders may influence our decisions affecting these properties.
 
Departure or loss of our key officers could have an adverse effect on us.
 
Our future success depends, to a significant extent, upon the continued services of our existing executive officers. The experience of our executive officers in the areas of real estate acquisition, development, finance and management is a critical element of our future success. We have entered into employment agreements with eachcertain members of our executive officers.  Themanagement. Each agreement will continue to renew after expiration of its initial term of each employment agreement runs through June 30, 2017, with automatic one-year renewals commencing each July 1st thereafteror applicable renew periods unless either we or the officerindividual elects not to renew.renew the agreement. If one or more of our key executivesexecutive officers were to die, become disabled or otherwise leave our employ, we may not be able to replace this person with an executive officer of equal skill, ability, and industry expertise within a reasonable timeframe. Until suitable replacements could be identified and hired, our operations and financial condition could be negatively affected.


We depend on external capital to fund our capital needs.
 
 
To qualify as a REIT, we are required to distribute to our shareholders each year at least 90% of our “REIT taxable income” (determined before the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gains). In order to eliminate federal income tax, we are required to distribute annually 100% of our net taxable income, including capital gains. Partly because of these distribution requirements, we may not be able to fund all future capital needs, including capital for property development, redevelopment and acquisitions, with income from operations. We therefore will have to rely on third-party sources of capital, which may or may not be available on favorable terms, if at all.  Any additional debt we incur will increase our leverage, expose us to the risk of default and may impose operating restrictions on us, and any additional equity we raise could be dilutive to existing shareholders.  Our access to third-party sources of capital depends on a number of things, including:
 
 
general market conditions;
the market’s perception of our growth potential;
our current debt levels;
our current and potential future earnings;
our cash flow and cash distributions;


our ability to qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes; and
the market price of our common shares.


If we cannot obtain capital from third-party sources, we may not be able to acquire or develop properties when strategic opportunities exist, satisfy our principal and interest obligations or make distributions to our shareholders.
 
Our rights and the rights of our shareholders to take action against our trustees and officers are limited.
 
 
Maryland law provides that a director or officer has limited liability in that capacity if he or she performs his or her duties in good faith and in a manner that he or she reasonably believes to be in our best interests and that an ordinarily prudent person


in a like position would use under similar circumstances. Our declaration of trust and bylaws require us to indemnify our trustees and officers for actions taken by them in those capacities to the extent permitted by Maryland law.
 
Our shareholders have limited ability to prevent us from making any changes to our policies that they believe could harm our business, prospects, operating results or share price.
 
 
Our investment, financing, borrowing and dividend policies and our policies with respect to all other activities, including growth, debt, capitalization and operations, will be determined by our management and, in certain cases, approved by our Board of Trustees. These policies may be amended or revised from time to time at the discretion of our Board of Trustees without a vote of our shareholders. This means that our shareholders will have limited control over changes in our policies. Such changes in our policies intended to improve, expand or diversify our business may not have the anticipated effects and consequently may adversely affect our business and prospects, results of operations and share price.
 
Our common share price could be volatile and could decline, resulting in a substantial or complete loss of our shareholders’ investment.
 
 
The stock markets (including The New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) on which we list our common shares) have experienced significant price and volume fluctuations. The market price of our common shares could be similarly volatile, and investors in our shares may experience a decrease in the value of their shares, including decreases unrelated to our operating performance or prospects. Among the market conditions that may affect the market price of our publicly traded securities are the following:
 
 
our financial condition and operating performance and the performance of other similar companies;
actual or anticipated differences in our quarterly operating results;
changes in our revenues or earnings estimates or recommendations by securities analysts;
perceived or actual effects of e-commerce competition;
bankruptcy or negative publicity about one or more of our larger tenants;
our credit or analyst ratings;
publication by securities analysts of research reports about us, our industry, or ourthe retail industry;
additions and departures of key personnel;
strategic decisions by us or our competitors, such as acquisitions, divestments, spin-offs, joint ventures, strategic investments or changes in business strategy;
the reputation of REITs generally and the reputation of REITs with portfolios similar to ours;
the attractiveness of the securities of REITs in comparison to securities issued by other entities (including securities issued by other real estate companies);
an increase in market interest rates, which may lead prospective investors to demand a higher distribution rate in relation to the price paid for our shares;


the passage of legislation or other regulatory developments that adversely affect us or our industry including tax reform;
speculation in the press or investment community;
actions by institutional shareholders, hedge funds or hedge funds;other investors;
increases or decreases in dividends;
changes in accounting principles;
terrorist acts; and
general market conditions, including factors unrelated to our performance.



 In the past, securities class action litigation has often been instituted against companies following periods of volatility in their stock price. This type of litigation could result in substantial costs and divert our management’s attention and resources.
 
Changes in accounting standards may adversely impact our financial results.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”), in conjunction with the SEC, has issued and may issue key pronouncements that impact how we account for our material transactions, including, but not limited to, lease accounting, business combinations and the recognition of other revenues. We are unable to predict which, if any, proposals may be issued in the future or what level of impact any such proposal could have on the presentation of our consolidated financial statements, our results of operations and the financial ratio required by our debt covenants.

The cash available for distribution to shareholders may not be sufficient to pay distributions at expected levels, nor can we assure you of our ability to make distributions in the future. We may use borrowed funds to make cash distributions and/or may choose to make distributions in party payable in our common shares.
 
 
If cash available for distribution generated by our assets decreases in future periods from expected levels, our inability to make expected distributions could result in a decrease in the market price of our common shares.  All distributions will be made at the discretion of our Board of Trustees and will depend on our earnings, our financial condition, maintenance of our REIT qualification and other factors as our Board of Trustees may deem relevant from time to time. We may not be able to make distributions in the future. In addition, some of our distributions may include a return of capital. To the extent that we decide to make distributions in excess of our current and accumulated earnings and profits, such distributions would generally be considered a return of capital for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent of the holder’s adjusted tax basis in their shares. A return of capital is not taxable, but it has the effect of reducing the holder’s adjusted tax basis in its investment. To the extent that distributions exceed the adjusted tax basis of a holder’s shares, they will be treated as gain from the sale or exchange of such shares. If we borrow to fund distributions, our future interest costs would increase, thereby reducing our earnings and cash available for distribution from what they otherwise would have been. Finally, although we do not currently intend to do so, in order to maintain our REIT qualification, we may make distributions that are in part payable in our common shares. Taxable shareholders receiving such distributions will be required to include the full amount of such distributions as ordinary dividend income to the extent of our current or accumulated earnings and profits and may be required to sell shares received in such distribution or may be required to sell other shares or assets owned by them, at a time that may be disadvantageous, in order to satisfy any tax imposed on such distribution. If a significant number of our shareholders determine to sell common shares in order to pay taxes owed on dividend income, such sale may put downward pressure on the market price of our common shares.


Future offerings of debt securities, which would be senior to our equity securities, may adversely affect the market prices of our common shares.
 
 
In the future, we may attempt to increase our capital resources by making offerings of debt securities, including unsecured notes, medium term notes, and senior or subordinated notes. Holders of our debt securities will generally be entitled to receive interest payments, both current and in connection with any liquidation or sale, prior to the holders of our common shares being entitled to receive distributions. Future offerings of debt securities, or the perception that such offerings may occur, may reduce the market prices of our common shares and/or the distributions that we pay with respect to our common shares. Because we may generally issue such debt securities in the future without obtaining the consent of our shareholders, our shareholders will bear the risk of our future offerings reducing the market prices of our equity securities.
 
If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or reports about our business, or if they downgrade their recommendations regarding our common shares, our share price and trading volume could be negatively affected.


 
The trading market for our shares is influenced by the research and reports that industry or securities analysts publish about us or our business. If any of the analysts who cover us downgrade our common shares or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, our share price may decline. If analysts cease coverage of us or fail to regularly publish reports on us, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which in turn could cause our common share price or trading volume to decline and our shares to be less liquid. An inactive market may also impair our ability to raise capital by selling shares and may impair our ability to acquire additional properties or other businesses by using our shares as consideration, which in turn could materially adversely affect our business. In addition, the stock market in general, and the NYSE and REITs in particular, have within the last year experienced significant price and volume fluctuations. These broad market and industry factors may decrease the market price of our shares, regardless of our actual operating performance. For these reasons, among others, the market price of our shares may decline substantially and quickly.


 
TAX RISKS
 
Failure of our company to qualify as a REIT would have serious adverse consequences to us and our shareholders.
 
 
We believe that we have qualified for taxation as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2004.  We intend to continue to meet the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT, but we cannot assure shareholders that we will qualify as a REIT. We have not requested and do not plan to request a ruling from the IRS that we qualify as a REIT, and the statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K are not binding on the IRS or any court. As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on our income that we distribute currently to our shareholders. Many of the REIT requirements, however, are highly technical and complex. The determination that we are a REIT requires an analysis of various factual matters and circumstances that may not be totally within our control. For example, to qualify as a REIT, at least 95% of our gross income must come from specific passive sources, such as rent, that are itemized in the REIT tax laws. In addition, to qualify as a REIT, we cannot own specified amounts of debt and equity securities of some issuers. We also are required to distribute to our shareholders with respect to each year at least 90% of our “REIT taxable income” (determined before the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gains). The fact that we hold substantially all of our assets through our Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries and joint ventures further complicates the application of the REIT requirements for us. Even a technical or inadvertent mistake could jeopardize our REIT status, and, given the highly complex nature of the rules governing REITs and the ongoing importance of factual determinations, we cannot provide any assurance that we will continue to qualify as a REIT. Furthermore, Congress and the IRS might make changes to the tax laws and regulations, and the courts might issue new rulings, that make it more difficult, or impossible, for us to remain qualified as a REIT.
 
 
If we fail to qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes and are unable to avail ourselves of certain savings provisions set forth in the Code, weCode:

We would be subject to federal income tax at regular corporate rates. Astaxed as a taxablenon-REIT "C" corporation, we wouldwhich under current laws, among other things, means not be allowedbeing able to take a deduction for distributions to shareholders in computing our taxable income or pass through long term capital gains to individual shareholders at favorable rates. We also could berates and being subject to the federal alternative minimum tax (for taxable years beginning before December 31, 2017) and possibly increased state and local taxes. taxes;

We would not be able to elect to be taxed as a REIT for four years following the year we first failed to qualify unless the IRS were to grant us relief under certain statutory provisions.qualify. Since we are the successor to Inland Diversified Real Estate Trust, Inc. ("Inland Diversified") for federal income tax purposes as a result of its merger with us (the "Merger"), the rule against re-electing REIT status following a loss of such status also would apply to us if Inland Diversified failed to qualify as a REIT in any of its 20112012 through 2014 tax years.  Although Inland Diversified believed that it was organized and operated in conformity with the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT for each of its taxable years prior to the Merger, Inland Diversified did not request a ruling from the IRS that it qualified as a REIT, and thus no assurance can be given that it qualified as a REIT.REIT;


If we failed to qualify as a REIT, weWe would have to pay significant income taxes, which would reduce our net earnings available for investment or distribution to our shareholders. Moreover, such failure would cause an event of default under our unsecured revolving credit facility and unsecured term loans and may adversely affect our ability to raise capital and to service our debt.  This likely would have a significant adverse effect on our earnings and the value of our securities. In addition, we would no longer be required to pay any distributions to shareholders. If we failed to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposesshareholders; and were able to avail ourselves of one or more of the statutory savings provisions in order to maintain our REIT status, we

We would nevertheless be required to pay penalty taxes of $50,000 or more for each such failure.  

If Inland Diversified Real Estate Trust, Inc. ("Inland Diversified") failed to qualify as a REIT for a taxable year before the Merger or for the taxable year that includes the Merger and no relief is available, in connection with the Merger


we would succeed to any earnings and profits accumulated by Inland Diversified for the taxable periods that it did not qualify as a REIT, and we would have to pay a special dividend and/or employ applicable deficiency dividend procedures (including significant interest payments to the IRS) to eliminate such earnings and profits.
 
We will pay some taxes even if we qualify as a REIT.
 
 
Even if we qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we will be required to pay certain U.S. federal, state and local taxes on our income and property. For example, we will be subject to income tax to the extent we distribute less than 100% of our REIT taxable income (including capital gains). Additionally, we will be subject to a 4% nondeductible excise tax on


the amount, if any, by which dividends paid by us in any calendar year are less than the sum of 85% of our ordinary income, 95% of our capital gain net income and 100% of our undistributed income from prior years. Moreover, if we have net income from “prohibited transactions,” that income will be subject to a 100% tax. In general, prohibited transactions are sales or other dispositions of property held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of business. The determination as to whether a particular sale is a prohibited transaction depends on the facts and circumstances related to that sale. While we will undertake sales of assets if those assets become inconsistent with our long-term strategic or return objectives, we do not believe that those sales should be considered prohibited transactions, but there can be no assurance that the IRS would not contend otherwise. The need to avoid prohibited transactions could cause us to forego or defer sales of properties that might otherwise be in our best interest to sell.
 
 
In addition, any net taxable income earned directly by our taxable REIT subsidiaries, or through entities that are disregarded for U.S. federal income tax purposes as entities separate from our taxable REIT subsidiaries, will be subject to U.S. federal and possibly state corporate income tax. We have elected to treat Kite Realty Holdings, LLC as a taxable REIT subsidiary, and we may elect to treat other subsidiaries as taxable REIT subsidiaries in the future. In this regard, several provisions of the laws applicable to REITs and their subsidiaries ensure that a taxable REIT subsidiary will be subject to an appropriate level of U.S. federal income taxation. For example, a taxable REIT subsidiary is limited in its ability to deduct interest payments made to an affiliated REIT. In addition, the REIT has to pay a 100% penalty tax on some payments that it receives or on some deductions taken by the taxable REIT subsidiaries if the economic arrangements between the REIT, the REIT’s tenants, and the taxable REIT subsidiary are not comparable to similar arrangements between unrelated parties. Finally, some state and local jurisdictions may tax some of our income even though as a REIT we are not subject to U.S. federal income tax on that income because not all states and localities treat REITs the same way they are treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes. To the extent that we and our affiliates are required to pay U.S. federal, state and local taxes, we will have less cash available for distributions to our shareholders.
 
 
If Inland Diversified failed to qualify as a REIT for a taxable year before the Merger or the taxable year that includes the Merger and no relief is available, as a result of the Merger (a) we would inherit any corporate income tax liabilities of Inland Diversified for Inland Diversified’s open tax years (generally three years or Inland Diversified’s 2011 through 2014 tax years but possibly extending back six years or Inland Diversified’s initial 2009 tax year2012 through its 2014 tax year), including penalties and interest,years and (b) we would be subject to tax on the built-in gain on each asset of Inland Diversified existing at the time of the Merger if we were to dispose of the Inland Diversified asset within five years following the Merger (i.e. before  July 1, 2019).
 
REIT distribution requirements may increase our indebtedness.
 
 
We may be required from time to time, under certain circumstances, to accrue income for tax purposes that has not yet been received. In such event, or upon our repayment of principal on debt, we could have taxable income without sufficient cash to enable us to meet the distribution requirements of a REIT. Accordingly, we could be required to borrow funds or liquidate investments on adverse terms in order to meet these distribution requirements. Additionally, the sale of properties resulting in significant tax gains could require higher distributions to our shareholders or payment of additional income taxes in order to maintain our REIT status.


Complying with REIT requirements may limit our ability to hedge effectively and may cause us to incur tax liabilities.
 
 
The REIT provisions of the Code may limit our ability to hedge our assets and operations. Under these provisions, any income that we generate from transactions intended to hedge our interest rate risk will be excluded from gross income for purposes of the REIT 75% and 95% gross income tests if the instrument hedges interest rate risk on liabilities used to carry or acquire real estate assets (each such hedge, a "Borrowing Hedge") or manages the risk of certain currency fluctuations, (each


such hedge, a "Currency Hedge"), and such instrument is properly identified under applicable Treasury Regulations. The exclusion from 95% and 75% gross income tests also applies if we previously entered into a Borrowings Hedge or a Currency Hedge, a portion of the hedged indebtedness or property is disposed of, and in connection with such extinguishment or disposition we enter into a new properly identified hedging transaction to offset the prior hedging position. Income from hedging transactions that do not meet these requirements will generally constitute non-qualifying income for purposes of both the REIT 75% and 95% gross income tests. As a result of these rules, we may have to limit our use of hedging techniques that might otherwise be advantageous or implement those hedges through a taxable REIT subsidiary. This could increase the cost of our hedging activities because our taxable REIT subsidiary would be subject to tax on gains or expose us to greater risks associated with changes in interest rates than we would otherwise want to bear. In addition, losses in our taxable REIT subsidiary will generally not provide any tax benefit, except for being carried back or forward against past or future taxable income in the taxable REIT subsidiary, provided, however, losses in our taxable REIT subsidiary arising in taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017 may only be carried forward and may only be deducted against 80% of future taxable income in the taxable REIT subsidiary.
 
Complying with the REIT requirements may cause us to forgo and/or liquidate otherwise attractive investments.
 
 
To qualify as a REIT, we must continually satisfy tests concerning, among other things, the sources of our income, the nature and diversification of our assets, the amounts that we distribute to our shareholders and the ownership of our shares. To meet these tests, we may be required to take actions we would otherwise prefer not to take or forgo taking actions that we would otherwise consider advantageous. For instance, in order to satisfy the gross income or asset tests applicable to REITs


under the Code, we may be required to forgo investments that we otherwise would make. Furthermore, we may be required to liquidate from our portfolio otherwise attractive investments. In addition, we may be required to make distributions to shareholders at disadvantageous times or when we do not have funds readily available for distribution. These actions could reduce our income and amounts available for distribution to our shareholders. Thus, compliance with the REIT requirements may hinder our investment performance.
 
Dividends paid by REITs generally do not qualify for reducedeffective tax rates.
rates as low as dividends paid by non-REIT "C" corporations. 
 
The maximum rate applicable to “qualified dividend income” paid by regularnon-REIT “C” corporations to certain non-corporate U.S. shareholders that are individuals, trusts and estates generally is 20%has been reduced by legislation to 23.8% (taking into account the 3.8% Medicare tax applicable to net investment income).  Dividends payable by REITs, however, generally are not eligible for the current reduced rate, except to the extent that certain holding requirements have been metrates. Effective for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017 and a REIT’sbefore January 1, 2026, non-corporate shareholders may deduct 20% of their dividends are attributable to dividends received by a REIT from taxable corporations (such as a REIT’s taxable REIT subsidiaries), to income that was subject to tax at the REIT/corporate level, or to dividends properly designated by the REIT as “capital gains dividends.” Although the reduced rates applicable toREITs (excluding qualified dividend income from regularand capital gains dividends). For non-corporate shareholders in the top marginal tax bracket of 37%, the deduction for REIT dividends yields an effective income tax rate of 29.6% on REIT dividends, which is higher than the 20% tax rate on qualified dividend income paid by non-REIT “C” corporations docorporations. This does not adversely affect the taxation of REITs, or dividends payable by REITs,however, it could cause investors who arecertain non-corporate taxpayersinvestors to perceive investments in REITs to be relatively less attractive than investments in the shares of regularnon-REIT “C” corporations that pay dividends, which could adversely affect the value of our common shares.
 
 
If the Operating Partnership fails to qualify as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we could fail to qualify as a REIT and suffer other adverse consequences.
 
 
We believe that our Operating Partnership is organized and operated in a manner so as to be treated as a partnership and not an association or a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation, for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a partnership, our Operating Partnership is not subject to U.S. federal income tax on its income. Instead, each of the partners is allocated its share of our Operating Partnership’s income. No assurance can be provided, however, that the IRS will not challenge our Operating Partnership’s status as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes or that a court would not sustain such a challenge. If the IRS werewas successful in treating our Operating Partnership as an association or publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we would fail to meet the gross income tests and certain of the asset tests applicable to REITs and, accordingly, would cease to qualify as a REIT. Also, the failure of the Operating Partnership to qualify as a partnership would cause it to become subject to U.S. federal corporate income tax, which would reduce significantly the amount of its cash available for distribution to its partners, including us.


There is a risk that the tax laws applicable to REITs may change.


 
The IRS, the United States Treasury Department and Congress frequently review federalU.S.federal income tax legislation, regulations and other guidance. Legislative and regulatory changes, including comprehensive tax reform, may be more likely in the 115th Congress, which convened in January 2017, because the Presidency and both chambers of Congress will be controlled by the same political party. WeThe Company cannot predict whether, when or to what extent new U.S. federal tax laws, regulations, interpretations or rulings will be adopted. Any legislative action may prospectively or retroactively modify ourthe Company's tax treatment and, therefore, may adversely affect our taxation or taxation of us and/our shareholders. We urge you to consult with your tax advisor with respect to the status of legislative, regulatory or administrative developments and proposals and their potential effect on an investment in our investors.stock. Although REITs generally receive certain tax advantages compared to entities taxed as non-REIT “C” corporations, it is possible that future legislation would result in a REIT having fewer tax advantages, and it could become more advantageous for a company that invests in real estate to elect to be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a non-REIT “C” corporation.

Our management and Board of Trustees will continue to evaluate our distribution policy on a quarterly basis as they monitor the capital markets and the impact of the economy on our operations.


Future distributions, if any, will be declared and paid at the discretion of our Board of Trustees and will depend upon a number of factors, including cash generated by operating activities, our financial condition, capital requirements, annual distribution requirements under the REIT provisions of the Code, and such other factors as our Board of Trustees deem relevant.
 
 
Distributions by us to the extent of our current and accumulated earnings and profits for U.S. federal income tax purposes will be taxable to shareholders as either ordinary dividend income or capital gain income if so declared by us.  Distributions in excess of taxable earnings and profits generally will be treated as a non-taxable return of capital.  These distributions, to the extent that they do not exceed the shareholder’s adjusted tax basis in its common shares, have the effect of deferring taxation until the sale of a shareholder’s common shares.  To the extent that distributions are both in excess of taxable earnings and profits and in excess of the shareholder’s adjusted tax basis in its common shares, the distribution will be treated as gain from the sale of common shares.  In order to maintain our qualification as a REIT, we must make annual distributions to shareholders of at least 90% of our “REIT taxable income” (determined before the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gains) and we must make distributions to shareholders equal to 100% of our net taxable income to eliminate U.S. federal income tax liability.  Under certain circumstances, we could be required to make distributions in excess of cash available for distributions in order to meet such requirements.  For the taxable year ended December 31, 2016,2018, approximately 23%44% of our distributions to shareholders constituted a return of capital and approximately 71%56% constituted taxable ordinary income dividends and approximately 6% constituted taxable capital gains.
dividends. 
 
Under our unsecured revolving credit facility, we are permitted to make distributions to our shareholders that do not exceed 95% of our Funds From Operations (“FFO”) provided that no event of default exists. If an event of default exists, we may only make distributions sufficient to maintain our REIT status.  However, we may not make any distributions if any event of default resulting from nonpayment or bankruptcy exists, or if our obligations under the unsecured revolving credit facility are accelerated.
  
Issuer Repurchases; Unregistered Sales of Securities
 
 
During the three months ended December 31, 2016, certain2018, we did not repurchase any of our common shares, and none of our employees surrendered common shares owned by them to satisfy their statutory minimum U.S. federal and state tax obligations associated with the vesting of restricted common shares of beneficial interest issued under our 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Plan").Plan.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
 
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the accompanying audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto and Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. In this discussion, unless the context suggests otherwise, references to “our Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” mean Kite Realty Group Trust and its direct and indirect subsidiaries, including Kite Realty Group, L.P.
 
 
Overview
 
 
In the following overview, we discuss, among other things, the status of our business and properties, the effect that current United States economic conditions is having on our retail tenants and us, and the current state of the financial markets and how it impacts our financing strategy.
 
Our Business and Properties
 
 
Kite Realty Group Trust is a publicly-held real estate investment trust which, through its majority-owned subsidiary, Kite Realty Group, L.P., owns interests in various operating subsidiaries and joint ventures engaged in the ownership and operation,


acquisition, development and redevelopment of high-quality neighborhood and community shopping centers in selectedselect markets in the United States.  We derive revenues primarily from activities associated with the collection of contractual rents and reimbursement payments from tenants at our properties.  Our operating results therefore depend materially on, among other things, the ability of our tenants to make required lease payments, the health and resilience of the United States retail sector, interest rate volatility, job growth and overall economic and real estate market conditions.


 
As of December 31, 2016,2018, we owned interests in 119111 operating and redevelopment properties consisting of 108 retail properties, nine retail redevelopment properties, one office operating property and an associated parking garage.totaling approximately 21.9 million square feet. We also owned twoone development projectsproject under construction as of this date.
 
Portfolio Update
 
 
In evaluating acquisition, development, and redevelopment opportunities, we look for strong sub-markets where average household income is above the broader market average.  We also focus on locations with population density, high traffic counts, and strong daytime workforce populations.  Household incomes in our largest sub-markets are significantly higher than the medians for those broader markets.
 

In 2016,2018, we transitionedsold six non-core assets, realizing net proceeds of $125 million. These retail assets had a weighted average retail ABR of $12.23, which was 27% lower than the Holly Springs Towne Center – Phase II and Tamiami Crossing development projects to theyear-end operating portfolio.portfolio ABR of $16.84. We also began construction on our expansionentered into a strategic joint venture with TH Real Estate by selling an 80% interest in three core retail assets resulting in gross proceeds of Holly Springs – Phase IIapproximately $89 million.

Additionally in the fourth quarter. Our 3-R initiative, which includes a total of 20 existing2018, we completed one development project and potentialsix redevelopment projects continued to progress in 2016. Ten of these projects are under construction with total estimatedproject costs of $58.0 million to $66.5$79.9 million and estimated combined returnsan aggregate return on cost of 9.0% to 10.0%8.5%. There are 10 additional projects under active evaluation with potential estimated costs of $80 to $100 million and potential returns of 9.0% to 11.0%. We completed construction on four 3-R projects during the fourth quarter: Hitchcock Plaza, Shops at Moore, Tarpon Bay Plaza, and Traders Point.


In addition to targeting sub-markets with strong consumer demographics, we focus on having the appropriatemost desirable tenant mix at each center.  Many of our tenants are service-oriented or have a prominent online platform that has reduced the impact of the expansion of e-commerce on their operations.  We have aggressively targeted and executed leases with notableprominent grocers including Kroger, Aldi, Publix and Trader Joes, and Aldi along with soft goodsJoe's, expanding retailers such as TJ Maxx, Ross Dress for Less, Burlington, and Old Navy, service and restaurant retailers such as Starbucks, North Italia and Flower Child and other retailers such as Ulta, Party City and Nordstrom Rack.Total Wine.  Additionally, we have identified cost-efficient ways to optimize space for junior anchors such as right-sizing office supply storesrelocate, re-tenant and backfilling the existing space with a tenantrenegotiate leases at several of our properties allowing us to attract more suitable to the larger space.tenants. In addition, many of our redevelopment projects include consolidating small shop space to accommodate construction of new junior anchor space.
 
Capital and Financing Activities
 
 
Our ability to obtain capital on satisfactory terms and to refinance borrowings as they mature is affected by the condition of the economy in general and by the financial strength of properties securing borrowings.
 
 
Throughout 2016,2018, we strengthenedwere able to maintain our strong balance sheet, by retiring multiple property-level secured loansfinancial flexibility and unencumberingliquidity to fund future growth. We ended the related assets securing the loans.  We increasedyear with approximately $485 million of combined cash and borrowing capacity on our liquidity through amending our existing unsecured revolving credit facility and unsecured term loan, which allows us the option to increase the borrowing capacity of the unsecured revolving credit facility to $1 billion and the option to increase our unsecured term loan to provide for an additional $200 million. We also issued $300 million of Notes in a public offering. Asfacility.  In addition, as of December 31, 2016,2018, we have reduced our term maturitieshad approximately $20.7 million of debt principal scheduled to mature through 2020 to approximately $90 million and extended our weighted-average debt maturities to 6.4 years.
December 31, 2020.

The amount that we may borrow under our unsecured revolving credit facility is limited by the value of the assets in our unencumbered asset pool.  As of December 31, 2016,2018, the value of the assets in our unencumbered asset pool was $420.4 million. Taking into account outstanding borrowings and letters of credit, we had $409.9 million available under our unsecured revolving credit facility for future borrowings as of December 31, 2016.  In addition, we had $19.9 million in cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2016.



$1.4 billion.

The unencumbering of a number of properties, drawing the remaining amount on our 7-Year Term Loan, amending our existing unsecured revolving credit facility and unsecured term loan and issuing the Notes provides us with more flexibility for future capital activity.  In addition, the investment grade credit ratings we have received in 2014 provide us with access to the unsecured public bond market, which we may continue to use in the future to finance acquisition activity, repay debt maturing in the near termdebt and fix interest rates.
  
 
Summary of Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
 
Our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 2 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements. As disclosed in Note 2, the preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. We believe that the following discussion addresses our most critical accounting policies, which are those that are most important to the compilation of our financial condition and results of operations and require management’s most difficult, subjective, and complex judgments.
 
Valuation of Investment Properties
 
Management reviews operational and development projects, land parcels and intangible assets for impairment on at least a quarterly basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. TheThis review for possible impairment requires management to make certain assumptions, and estimates, and requires significant judgment. Impairment losses for investment properties and intangible assets are measured when the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by the investment properties during the expected holding period are less than the carrying amounts of those assets. Impairment losses


are recorded as the excess of the carrying value over the estimated fair value of the asset. Our impairment review for land and development properties assumes we have the intent and the ability to complete the developments or projected uses for the land parcels. If we determine those plans will not be completed or our assumptions with respect to operating assets are not realized, an impairment loss may be appropriate.

 
Depreciation may be accelerated for a redevelopment project, including partial demolition of existing structures after the asset is assessed for impairment.
 
 
Operating properties will be classified as held for sale only when those properties are available for immediate sale in their present condition and for which management believes it is probable that a sale of the property will be completed within one year, among other factors. Operating properties classified as held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or fair value less estimated costs to sell. Depreciation and amortization are suspended during the held-for-sale period.

 
Our operating properties have operations and cash flows that can be clearly distinguished from the rest of our activities. Historically, the operations reported in discontinued operations include those operating properties that were sold or were considered held for sale and for which operations and cash flows can be clearly distinguished. The operations from these properties are eliminated from ongoing operations, and we will not have a continuing involvement after disposition. In the first quarter of 2014, we adopted the provisions of ASU 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity, which will result in fewer real estate sales being classified within discontinued operations, as only disposals representing a strategic shift in operations will be presented as discontinued operations. All operating properties included in discontinued operations in 2014 were classified as such prior to the adoption of ASU 2014-08, and nooperations.  No properties that have been sold, or designated as held-for-sale, since the adoption of ASU 2014-08, have met the revised criteria for classification within discontinued operations.

Acquisition of Real Estate Investments
 


Upon acquisition of real estate operating properties, we estimate the fair value of acquired identifiable tangible assets and identified intangible assets and liabilities, assumed debt, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at the date of acquisition, based on evaluation of information and estimates available at that date.  Based on these estimates, we record the estimated fair value to the applicable assets and liabilities.  In making estimates of fair values, a number of sources are utilized, including information obtained as a result of pre-acquisition due diligence, marketing and leasing activities. The estimates of fair value were determined to have primarily relied upon Level 2 and Level 3 inputs, as defined below.

Fair value is determined for tangible assets and intangibles, including:
  
the fair value of the building on an as-if-vacant basis and the fair value of land determined either by comparable market data, real estate tax assessments, independent appraisals or other relevant data;
above-market and below-market in-place lease values for acquired properties, which are based on the present value (using an interest rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and (ii) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases, measured over the remaining non-cancelable term of the leases.  Any below-market renewal options are also considered in the in-place lease values.  The capitalized above-market and below-market lease values are amortized as a reduction of or addition to rental income over the term of the lease.  Should a tenant vacate, terminate its lease, or otherwise notify us of its intent to do so, the unamortized portion of the lease intangibles would be charged or credited to income;
the value of having a lease in place at the acquisition date.  We utilize independent and internal sources for our estimates to determine the respective in-place lease values.  Our estimates of value are made using methods similar to those used by independent appraisers.  Factors we consider in our analysis include an estimate of costs to execute similar leases including tenant improvements, leasing commissions and foregone costs and rent received during the estimated lease-up period as if the space was vacant.  The value of in-place leases is amortized to expense over the remaining initial terms of the respective leases; and
the fair value of any assumed financing that is determined to be above or below market terms.  We utilize third party and independent sources for our estimates to determine the respective fair value of each mortgage payable.  The fair market value of each mortgage payable is amortized to interest expense over the remaining initial terms of the respective loan.


We also consider whether there is any value to in-place leases that have a related customer relationship intangible value.  Characteristics we consider in determining these values include the nature and extent of existing business relationships


with the tenant, growth prospects for developing new business with the tenant, the tenant’s credit quality, and expectations of lease renewals, among other factors.  To date, a tenant relationship has not been developed that is considered to have a current intangible value.


We finalize the measurement period of our business combinations when all facts and circumstances are understood, but in no circumstances will the measurement period exceed one year.
Revenue Recognition
 
 
Revenue Recognition
As a lessor of real estate assets, the Company retains substantially all of the risks and benefits of ownership and accountaccounts for its leases as operating leases.
 
 
Contractual minimum base rent, percentage rent, and expense reimbursements from tenants for common area maintenance costs, insurance and real estate taxes are our principal sources of revenue.  Base minimum rents are recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective leases.  Certain lease agreements contain provisions that grant additional rents based on a tenant’s sales volume (contingent overage rent). Overage rent is recognized when tenants achieve the specified sales targets as defined in their lease agreements.  Overage rent is included in other property related revenue in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.  As a result of generating this revenue, we will routinelyWe have accounts receivable due from tenants. Wetenants and are subject to


the risk of tenant defaults and bankruptcies that may affect the collection of outstanding receivables. To address the collectability of these receivables, we analyze historical write-off experience, tenant credit-worthiness and current economic trends when evaluating the adequacy of our allowance for doubtfuluncollectible accounts and straight linestraight-line rent reserve.reserve accordingly. Although we estimate uncollectible receivables and provide for them through charges against income, actual experience may differ from those estimates.
 
 
Gains or losses from sales of real estate arehave historically been recognized when a sale has been consummated, the buyer’s initial and continuing investment is adequate to demonstrate a commitment to pay for the asset, we have transferred to the buyer the usual risks and rewards of ownership, and we do not have a substantial continuing financial involvement in the property.  As part of our ongoing business strategy, we will, from time to time, sell land parcels and outlots, some of which are ground leased to tenants.

Fair Value Measurements
 
 
We follow the framework established under accounting standard FASB ASC 820,Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, for measuring fair value of non-financial assets and liabilities that are not required or permitted to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis but only in certain circumstances, such as a business combination or upon determination of impairment.


Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets are categorized based on the inputs to the valuation techniques as follows:


Level 1 fair value inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments to which we have access.

Level 2 fair value inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for similar instruments, either directly or indirectly, and appropriately consider counterparty creditworthiness in the valuations.

Level 3 fair value inputs reflect our best estimate of inputs and assumptions market participants would use in pricing an instrument at the measurement date. The inputs are unobservable in the market and significant to the valuation estimate. 


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. Our 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. As discussed in Note 108 to the Financial Statements, we have determined that its derivative valuations are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.


Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, escrows and deposits, and other working capital balances approximate fair value.
 

Note 7 to the Financial Statements includes a discussion of the fair values recorded for assets acquired and liabilities assumed.  Note 86 to the Financial Statements includes a discussion of the fair values recorded when we recognized an impairment charge on our Shops at Otty operating property.charges in 2018 and 2017. Level 3 inputs to these transactions include our estimations of market leasing rates, tenant-related costs, discount rates, and disposal values.



Income Taxes and REIT Compliance
 
Parent Company



The Parent Company, which is considered a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, has been organized and intends to continue to operate in a manner that will enable it to maintain its qualification as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. As a result, it generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the earnings that it distributes to the extent it distributes its “REIT taxable income” (determined before the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gains) to shareholders of the Parent Company and meets certain other requirements on a recurring basis. To the extent that it satisfies this distribution requirement, but distributes less than 100% of its taxable income, it will be subject to U.S. federal corporate income tax on its undistributed REIT taxable income. REITs are subject to a number of organizational and operational requirements. If the Parent Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, it will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on its taxable income at regular corporate rates for a period of four years following the year in which qualification is lost. We may also be subject to certain U.S. federal, state and local taxes on our income and property and to federal income and excise taxes on our undistributed taxable income even if the Parent Company does qualify as a REIT. The Operating Partnership intends to continue to make distributions to the Parent Company in amounts sufficient to assist the Parent Company in adhering to REIT requirements and maintaining its REIT status.

We have elected to treat Kite Realty Holdings, LLC as a taxable REIT subsidiary of the Operating Partnership, and we may elect to treat other subsidiaries as taxable REIT subsidiaries in the future. This election enables us to receive income and provide services that would otherwise be impermissible for a REIT. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are established for temporary differences between the financial reporting bases and the tax bases of assets and liabilities at the tax rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.

Operating Partnership

The allocated share of income and loss, other than the operations of our taxable REIT subsidiary, is included in the income tax returns of the Operating Partnership's partners. Accordingly, the only U.S. federal income taxes included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements are in connection with itsthe taxable REIT subsidiary.


Inflation
 
 
Inflation rates have been near historical lows in recent years and, therefore, have not had a significant impact on our results of operations. Most of our leases contain provisions designed to mitigate the adverse impact of inflation by requiring the tenant to pay its share of operating expenses, including common area maintenance, real estate taxes and insurance, or include a fixed amount for these costs that escalates over time, thereby reducing our exposure to increases in operating expenses resulting from inflation. Also, most of our leases have original terms of fewer than ten years, which enables us to adjust rental rates to market upon lease renewal.

The comparability of results of operations is affected by our Merger with Inland Diversified on July 1, 2014 and by our development, redevelopment, and operating property acquisition and disposition activities in 20142016 through 2016.2018. Therefore, we believe it is most useful to review the comparisons of our results of operations for these years (as set forth below under “Comparison of Operating Results for the Years Ended December 31, 20162018 and 20152017 and “Comparison of Operating Results for the Years Ended December 31, 20152017 and 2014”2016”) in conjunction with the discussion of these activities during those periods, which is set forth below.

Net Operating Income and Same Property Net Operating Income


We use property net operating income ("NOI"(“NOI”), a non-GAAP financial measure, to evaluate the performance of our properties. We define NOI as income from our real estate, including lease termination fees received from tenants, less our property operating expenses. NOI excludes amortization of capitalized tenant improvement costs and leasing commissions and certain corporate level expenses.

We believe that NOI is helpful to investors as a measure of our operating performance because it excludes various items included in net income that do not relate to or are not indicative of our operating performance, such as depreciation and amortization, interest expense, and impairment, if any.

We also use same property NOI ("Same Property NOI"), a non-GAAP financial measure, to evaluate the performance of our retail properties. Same Property NOI excludes properties that have not been owned for the full period presented. It also excludes net gains from outlot sales, straight-line rent revenue, lease termination fees, amortization of lease intangibles and significant prior period expense recoveries and adjustments, if any. We believe that Same Property NOI is helpful to investors as a measure of our operating performance because it includes only the NOI of properties that have been owned for the full period presented, which eliminates disparities in net income due to the redevelopment, acquisition or disposition of properties during the particular period presented and thus provides a more consistent metric for the comparison of our properties. Full year Same Property NOI represents the sum of the four quarters, as reported.

NOI and Same Property NOI should not, however, be considered as alternatives to net income (calculated in accordance with GAAP) as indicators of our financial performance. Our computation of NOI and Same Property NOI may differ from the methodology used by other REITs, and therefore may not be comparable to such other REITs.



When evaluating the properties that are included in the same property pool, we have established specific criteria for determining the inclusion of properties acquired or those recently under development. An acquired property is included in the same property pool when there is a full quarter of operations in both years subsequent to the acquisition date. Development and redevelopment properties are included in the same property pool 12 monthsfour full quarters after construction is substantially complete and the properties have been transferred to the operating portfolio. A redevelopment property is first excluded from the same property pool when the execution of a redevelopment plan is likely and we begin recapturing space from tenants. During various periods in 2016, between nine and 13 properties were excluded fromAt December 31, 2018, the same property pool that were ownedexcluded three properties in both comparable periods but did not meet the criteria for inclusion in the same property pool.

Funds From Operations
 


FFOFunds from Operations ("FFO") is a widely used performance measure for real estate companies and is provided here as a supplemental measure of operating performance. We calculate FFO, a non-GAAP financial measure, in accordance with the best practices described in the April 2002 National Policy Bulletin of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT"). The NAREIT white paper defines FFO as net income (determined in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or


losses) from sales and impairments of depreciated property, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.


Considering the nature of our business as a real estate owner and operator, we believe that FFO is helpful to investors in measuring our operational performance because it excludes various items included in net income that do not relate to or are not indicative of our operating performance, such as gains or losses from sales of depreciated property and depreciation and amortization, which can make periodic and peer analyses of operating performance more difficult. For informational purposes, we have also provided FFO adjusted for a severance charge, accelerated amortization of debt issuance costs, transaction costs, a severance charge and a debt extinguishment loss and transaction costs in 2016, a non-cash adjustment for redemption of preferred shares in 2015, a gain on the resolution of an assumed contingency in 2015, and a gain on settlement and transaction costs in 2015.2016.  We believe this supplemental information provides a meaningful measure of our operating performance. We believe our presentation of FFO, as adjusted, provides investors with another financial measure that may facilitate comparison of operating performance between periods and among our peer companies. FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income (determined in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of our financial performance, is not an alternative to cash flow from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of our liquidity, and is not indicative of funds available to satisfy our cash needs, including our ability to make distributions. Our computation of FFO may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs that do not define the term in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or that interpret the current NAREIT definition differently than we do.
 
 
Our calculations of FFO1 and reconciliation to consolidated net income and FFO, as adjusted for the years ended December 31, 2016, 20152018, 2017 and 20142016 (unaudited) are as follows:

Earnings before Interest, Tax, Depreciation, and Amortization (EBITDA)
 
 
We define EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, as net income before depreciation and amortization, interest expense and income tax expense of taxable REIT subsidiary. For informational purposes, we have also provided Adjusted EBITDA, which we define as EBITDA less (i) EBITDA from unconsolidated entities, (ii) gains on sales of operating properties or impairment charges, (iii) other income and expense, (iv) noncontrolling interest EBITDA and (v) other non-recurring activity or items impacting comparability from period to period. Annualized Adjusted EBITDA is Adjusted EBITDA for the most recent quarter multiplied by four. Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA is our share of net debt divided by Annualized Adjusted EBITDA. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Annualized Adjusted EBITDA and Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA, as calculated by us, are not comparable to EBITDA


and EBITDA-related measures reported by other REITs that do not define EBITDA and EBITDA-related measures exactly as we do. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Annualized Adjusted EBITDA do not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP, and should not be considered alternatives to net income as an indicator of performance or as alternatives to cash flows from operating activities as an indicator of liquidity.


Considering the nature of our business as a real estate owner and operator, we believe that EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and the ratio of Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA are helpful to investors in measuring our operational performance because they exclude various items included in net income that do not relate to or are not indicative of our operating performance, such as gains or losses from sales of depreciated property and depreciation and amortization, which can make periodic and peer analyses of operating performance more difficult. For informational purposes, we have also provided Annualized Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted as described above.

The net increase of $3.0$1.5 million in rental income for properties that were fully operational during 20152017 and 20162018 is primarily attributable to an increase in rental rates offset by a decrease in occupancy primarily caused by anchor bankruptcies and vacancies. In addition, there was an increase of $2.9 million in economicnon-cash market rent amortization associated with anchor vacancies. Rental income for recently completed development and redevelopment projects increased $3.6 million primarily due to multiple anchor tenants commencing rent payments at Fishers Station, Holly Springs Towne Center - Phase II, and Portofino Shopping Center. Tenant reimbursement decreased $0.9 million from 2017 to 2018 due to a decrease in occupancy percentage,as noted above. The Company's recovery levels of recoverable operating expenses and improved expense controlreal estate taxes were 87.7% and operating expense recovery resulting in an improvement in net recoveries of $1.9 million.



89.1%, for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017.

The average rents for new comparable leases signed in 20162018 were $20.83$20.38 per square foot compared to average expiring base rents of $17.57$18.14 per square foot in that period. The average base rents for renewals signed in 20162018 were $15.85$18.82 per square


foot compared to average expiring base rents of $14.79$17.86 per square foot in that period. Our same property economic occupancy improved to 93.4% as of December 31, 2016 from 92.9% as of December 31, 2015. For our retail operating portfolio, annualized base rent per square foot improved to $15.53$16.84 per square foot as of December 31, 2016,2018, up from $15.22$16.07 per square foot as of December 31, 2015.2017.


Other property related revenue primarily consists of parking revenues, overage rent, lease termination income and gains on sales of undepreciated assets.  This revenue decreasedincreased by $3.4$1.1 million, primarily as a result of business interruption income of $2.8 million and an increase in lease termination income of $0.5 million. These increases were offset by lower gains on sales of undepreciated assets of $1.7$2.1 million.

We recorded fee income of $2.5 million decreasesfor the year ended December 31, 2018 compared to fee income of $1.1$0.4 million in lease termination income,for the year ended December 31, 2017.

The net $2.6increase $1.5 million decreasein property operating expenses for properties that were fully operational during 20152017 and 20162018 is primarily due to a combination of decreases of $1.2 million in bad debt expense, $0.8 million in trash removal expense as tenants began contracting for this item directly with outside vendors, $0.5 million in insurance costs as we generated efficiencies with our larger operating platform, $0.3 million in utility expense, and $0.2 million in snow removal expense. The decreases were offset by an increaseincreases of $0.5 million in repairs and maintenance costs and $0.9 million in landscaping and parking lot expense.


As a percentage of rental revenue, property operating expenses decreasedincreased between years from 14.4%13.8% to 13.5%14.2%. The decreaseincrease was mostly due to an improvementincrease in expense control and an improvementanchor vacancy due to certain retailer bankruptcies that contributed to a reduction in operating expense recoveries from tenants as a resultthe recovery percentage at several of higher occupancy rates.our properties.

The net $0.9increase of $0.4 million increase in real estate taxes for properties that were fully operational during 20152017 and 20162018 is primarily due to higheran increase in current year tax assessments at certain operating properties. The majority of our real estate tax expense is recoverable from tenants and such recovery is reflected in tenant reimbursement revenue.


General, administrative and other expenses increased $1.9decreased $0.4 million, or 10.1%2.0%. The increase is due primarily to higher payrollpersonnel costs and company overhead expenses, of $1.4which are partially offset by a reduction in share-based compensation expense.

In 2018, we recorded impairment charges totaling $70.4 million andrelated to a severance charge of $0.5 millionreduction in the first quarterexpected holding period of 2016.


Transaction costs generally consist of legal, lender, due diligence,certain operating and other expenses for professional services. Such costs increased $1.2 million asdevelopment properties. In 2017, we had terminated transaction costs of $2.8 million in 2016, compared to property acquisition costs of $1.6 million over the same period in 2015.


We recorded a non-cash gain from the release of an assumed earnout liability of $4.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2015. The expiration date of the underlying third party earnout agreement was December 28, 2015, and the original sellers were unable to perform the necessary leasing activity by this date that would have resulted in payment by us of the previously recorded obligation.


We recorded an impairment charge of $1.6$7.4 million related to one of our Shops at Otty operating property forproperties as a result of our conclusion the year ended December 31, 2015. This charge was recorded due to our intent to sellestimated undiscounted cash flows over the property inexpected holding period did not exceed the near term, which shortenedcarrying value of the intended holding period.

Total$(19,928)
The net decrease of $5.0 million in properties under redevelopment during 2017 and 2018 is primarily due to $5.8 million of accelerated depreciation and amortization in 2017 from the demolition of a building at our Fishers Station redevelopment property in preparation for replacing the anchor tenant and from the demolition of a building at The Corner redevelopment property. The net decrease of $8.2 million in depreciation and amortization at properties fully operational during 2017 and 2018 is primarily due to certain assets becoming fully depreciated in 2017 and 2018.
Interest expense increased $1.1 million or 1.6%. The increase is due to a reduction in capitalized interest of $1.2 million as additional redevelopments became operational during 2018. As a portion of a project becomes operational, we cease capitalization of the related interest expense. In addition, there was accelerated amortization of deferred loan fees of $1.1 million. These increases in interest expense were offset by reductions in debt utilizing proceeds from current year property sales.

We recorded a net gain of $3.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2018 on the sale of six operating properties and the sale of an 80% interest in three operating properties to a joint venture with TH Real Estate, compared to a net gain of $15.2 million on the sale of four operating properties for the year ended December 31, 2017.

The net increase of $8.0 million in rental income for properties that were fully operational during 2016 and 2017 is primarily attributable to an increase in rental rates and an increase in occupancy, which leads to more tenants paying rent. The increase in rental revenue is primarily due to multiple anchor and small shop tenants opening as we completed or partially completed various redevelopment and repositioning projects including Trader Joe's at Centennial Gateway, Ross Dress for Less at Trussville Promenade, Party City at Market Street Village, Marshalls at Bolton Plaza, Ulta Beauty at Pine Ridge Crossing, Tuesday Morning at Northdale Promenade, Petco at Hitchcock Plaza, Petsmart at Tarpon Bay Plaza, Buy Buy Baby at Cool Springs Market, Five Below at Shops at Moore and new small shop buildings at Castleton Crossing and Portofino Shopping Center. The net increase of $3.6 million in rental income for recently completed development projects during 2017 is primarily due to multiple anchor tenants opening including Carmike Cinemas at Holly Springs Towne Center - Phase II, Ross Dress for Less and Michaels at Tamiami Crossing and Stein Mart at Parkside Town Commons - Phase II.

The average base rents for new comparable leases signed in 2017 were $21.44 per square foot compared to average expiring base rents of $17.43 per square foot in that period. The average base rents for renewals signed in 2018 were $16.81 per square foot compared to average expiring base rents of $15.77 per square foot in that period. For our retail operating portfolio, annualized base rent per square foot improved to $16.07 per square foot as of December 31, 2017, up from $15.53 per square foot as of December 31, 2017.

Other property related revenue primarily consists of parking revenues, overage rent, lease termination income and gains on sales of undepreciated assets.  This revenue increased by $2.4 million, primarily as a result of higher gains on sales of undepreciated assets of $1.3 million (including the effect of a $4.9 million gain on the sale of an outlot at Cove Center during the second quarter of 2017) and an increase of $1.0 million in lease termination income.

We recorded fee income of $0.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2017. In December 2017, we formed a joint venture with an unrelated third party to develop and own an Embassy Suites full-service hotel next to our Eddy Street Commons operating property at the University of Notre Dame.

Total$1,720
The net increase $1.4 million in property operating expenses for properties that were fully operational during 2016 and 2017 is primarily due to a combination of increases of $0.8 million in provision for credit losses attributable to certain anchor bankruptcies in 2017, $0.8 million in general building repair and landscaping costs at certain properties, $0.3 million in marketing expense, and $0.1 million in non-recoverable utility expense. The increases were partially offset by a decrease of $0.6 million in insurance expense.



As a percentage of revenue, property operating expenses increased between years from 13.5% to 13.8%. The increase was mostly due to an increase in certain non-recoverable expenses including provision for credit losses, marketing expenses, and non-recoverable utility expense at several of our properties.

Real estate taxes increased $0.3 million, or 0.8%, due to the following:

General, administrative and other expenses increased $1.1 million, or 5.6%. The increase is due primarily to higher personnel costs and company overhead expenses, which are partially offset by a severance charge of $0.5 million in 2016.

Transaction costs decreased by $2.8 million, as we did not incur any transaction costs for the year ended December 31, 2017.

In 2017, we recorded an impairment charge of $7.4 million related to one of our operating properties as a result of our conclusion the estimated undiscounted cash flows over the expected holding period did not exceed the carrying value of the asset.

2016.
 
Interest expense increased $9.1$0.1 million or 16.2%0.2%. The increase is due to recording $1.0 million in accelerated amortization of debt issuance costs from amending the unsecured term loans, retiring Term Loan A and securing longer-term fixed rate debt through the issuance of senior unsecured notes in the second half of 2015 and in the third quarter of 2016 that carried higher interest rates than the variable rate on our unsecured revolving credit facility, which was paid down with the proceeds. We also redeemed all of our outstanding preferred shares in the fourth quarter of 2015 using the proceeds from the senior unsecured notes. The increase is also due to certain development projects, including Tamiami Crossing, Parkside Town Commons - Phase III and Holly Springs Towne Center - Phase II, becoming operational.operational or partially operational throughout 2016. As a portion of thea development project becomes operational, we cease capitalization of the related interest expense.



This increase in interest expense was offset by reductions in debt utilizing proceeds from current year property sales.

We recorded a non-cash gainan income tax benefit of our taxable REIT subsidiary of $0.1 million compared to an income tax expense of our taxable REIT subsidiary of $0.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The decrease is

Rental income (including tenant reimbursements) increased $81.8 million, or 32.4%, due to the following:



($ in thousands)Net change 2014 to 2015
Properties acquired during 2014 or 2015 and retained$82,672
Development properties that became operational or were partially operational in 2014 and/or 20153,468

Properties under redevelopment during 2014 and/or 2015 including properties acquired in the Merger6,090
Properties fully operational during 2014 and 2015 and other991
Total$81,801
The net increase of $1.0 million in rental income for properties fully operational in both years is primarily attributable to an increase in rental rates, and an improvement in economic occupancy.


The average rents for new comparable leases signed in 2015 were $20.23 per square foot compared to average expiring rents of $16.59 per square foot in that period. The average rents for renewals signed in 2015 were $12.58 per square foot compared to average expiring rents of $11.53 per square foot in that period. Our same property economic occupancy improved to 93.9% as of December 31, 2015 from 93.7% as of December 31, 2014. For our retail operating portfolio, annualized base rent per square foot improved to $15.22 per square foot as of December 31, 2015, up from $15.15 per square foot as of December 31, 2014.


Other property related revenue primarily consists of parking revenues, overage rent, specialty leasing income, lease termination income and gains related to sales of land parcels peripheral to our properties.  This revenue increased by $5.7 million, primarily as a result of higher gains on land sales of $4.1 million, an increase of $0.5 million in specialty leasing income, an increase of $0.5 million in lease termination income and an increase in overage rent of $0.3 million.
Property operating expenses increased $11.3 million, or 29.1%, due to the following:
($ in thousands)Net change 2014 to 2015
Properties acquired during 2014 or 2015 and retained$9,876
Development properties that became operational or were partially operational in 2014 and/or 2015767

Properties under redevelopment during 2014 and/or 2015 including properties acquired in the Merger1,811
Properties fully operational during 2014 and 2015 and other432
Total$11,270

The net $0.4 million increase for properties fully operational is due to an increase of $1.5 million in on-site personnel and regional office costs, $0.7 million in bad debt expense, and $0.2 million in marketing costs, offset by a decrease of $0.5 million in insurance costs as we leveraged our larger operating platform, $1.1 million in repair and maintenance costs, and $0.4 million in snow removal costs.


Property operating expenses as a percentage of total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2015 were 14.4% compared to 14.9% over the same period in the prior year. The decrease was mostly due to higher other property related revenue and an improvement in expense recoveries from tenants as a result of higher economic occupancy rates. The overall recovery ratio for reimbursable expenses improved to 87.1% for the year ended December 31, 2015 compared to 85.3% for the year ended December 31, 2014.




Real estate taxes increased $11.0 million, or 36.6%, due to the following:2016.
 
($ in thousands)Net change 2014 to 2015

Properties fully operational during 2014 and 2015 and other646
Total$10,957

The net $0.6 million increase in real estate taxes for properties fully operational during 2014 and 2015 is due to higher tax assessments at certain operating properties. The majority of changes in our real estate tax expense is recoverable from tenants and, therefore, reflected in tenant reimbursement revenue.


General, administrative and other expenses increased $5.7 million, or 43.4%. The increase is due primarily to higher public company costs and personnel costs associated with the Merger. Our employee base increased from 95 full-time employees as of December 31, 2013 to 145 full-time employees as of December 31, 2015.


Transaction costs in 2014 related almost entirely to our Merger with Inland Diversified and totaled $27.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to $1.6 million of costs for various property acquisitions for the year ended December 31, 2015.


We recorded a non-cash gain from the release of an assumed earnout liability of $4.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2015. The expiration date of the associated earnout liability was December 28, 2015, and the original sellers were unable to perform the necessary leasing activity that would have resulted in payment of the previously estimated obligation.


We recorded an impairment charge of $1.6 million related to our Shops at Otty operating property for the year ended December 31, 2015. See additional discussion in Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased $46.3 million, or 38.3%, due to the following:

($ in thousands)Net change 2014 to 2015
Properties acquired during 2014 or 2015 and retained$45,414

Properties fully operational during 2014 and 2015 and other(2,028)
Total$46,314
The net $2.0 million decrease in depreciation at properties fully operational during 2014 and 2015 is mainly due to a tenant vacating at an operating property in 2014, which resulted in the acceleration of depreciation and amortization on certain assets.



Interest expense increased $10.9 million or 24.0%. The increase mainly resulted from our assumption of $859.6 million of debt as part of the Merger with Inland Diversified, in addition to draws on the unsecured revolving credit facility to fund a portion of our 2015 acquisitions. In addition, we secured longer-term fixed rate debt through the issuance of senior unsecured notes that carried higher interest rates than the variable rate on our unsecured revolving credit facility. The increase was also due to certain development projects, including Delray Marketplace and Parkside Town Commons - Phase I becoming operational. As a portion of the project becomes operational, we expense a pro-rata amount of related interest expense.


We recorded a non-cash gain on debt extinguishment of $5.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2015, related to the retirement of the $90 million loan secured by our City Center operating property.


We recorded a gain on settlement of $4.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2015, related to the settlement of a dispute related to eminent domain and related damages at one of our operating properties. See additional discussion in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements.

The allocation of net income attributable to noncontrolling interests increased due to allocations to joint venture partners in certain consolidated properties acquired as part of the Merger with Inland Diversified.  These partners are allocated income generally equal to the distribution received from the operations of the properties in which they hold an interest.


Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Overview
 
 
Our primary finance and capital strategy is to maintain a strong balance sheet with sufficient flexibility to fund our operating and investment activities in a cost-effective manner. We consider a number of factors when evaluating our level of indebtedness and when making decisions regarding additional borrowings or equity offerings, including the estimated value of properties to be developed or acquired, the estimated market value of our properties and the Company as a whole upon placement of the borrowing or offering, and the ability of particular properties to generate cash flow to cover debt service. We will continue to monitor the capital markets and may consider raising additional capital through the issuance of our common or preferred shares, unsecured debt securities, or other securities.
 
Our Principal Capital Resources
 
 
For a discussion of cash generated from operations, see “Cash Flows,” beginning on page 74.65.  In addition to cash generated from operations, we discuss below our other principal capital resources.
 
 
The increasedcontinued positive operating cash flows of the Company have substantially enhanced our liquidity position and reduced our borrowing costs. We continue to focus on a balanced approach to growth and staggering debt maturities in order to retain our financial flexibility.
 
In 2016,2018, we drew the remaining $100 million on our $200 million 7-Year Term Loan and used thesold six non-core assets for aggregate gross proceeds of $125 million. In addition, we entered into a strategic joint venture with TH Real Estate (formerly known as TIAA) by selling an 80% interest in three core retail assets resulting in gross proceeds of approximately $89 million. We utilized these proceeds to pay down the unsecured revolving credit facility. facility and fund a portion of our development and redevelopment costs.

In addition,February 2019, we completedannounced a $300plan to market and sell up to $500 million public offeringin non-core assets as part of 4.00% Senior Notes due October 1, 2026.  Thea program designed to improve the Company’s portfolio quality, reduce its leverage, and focus operations on markets where we believe the Company can gain scale and generate attractive risk-adjusted returns. We currently anticipate that the bulk of the net proceeds were utilizedwill be used to retire both the $200 million Term Loan A and the $75.9 million construction loan secured by our Parkside Town Commons operating property and to fund portions of the retirement of the $25 million loan secured by our Colonial Square and Village Walk operating properties and the $10.4 million loan secured by our Geist Pavilion operating property. We also drew on our unsecured revolving credit facility to fund the retirement of an additional $128.8 million of property level securedrepay debt, in 2016.

further strengthening its balance sheet.
 


As of December 31, 2016,2018, we had approximately $409.9$450 million available under our unsecured revolving credit facility for future borrowings based on the unencumbered asset pool allocated to the unsecured revolving credit facility. We also had $19.9$35.4 million in cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2016.  

2018.  

We were in compliance with all applicable financial covenants under our unsecured revolving credit facility, our unsecured term loans, and our Notessenior unsecured notes as of December 31, 2016.

2018.

We have on file with the SEC a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 relating to the offer and sale, from time to time, of an indeterminate amount of equity and debt securities. Equity securities may be offered and sold by the Parent Company, and the net proceeds of any such offerings would be contributed to the Operating Partnership in exchange for additional General Partner Units. Debt securities may be offered and sold by the Operating Partnership with the Operating Partnership receiving the proceeds. From time to time, we may issue securities under this shelf registration statement to fund the repayment of long-term debt upon maturity, and for other general corporate purposes.purposes or as otherwise set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement.


We currently have an at-the-market equity program that allows us to issue new common shares from time to time, with an aggregate offering price of up to $250.0 million. During the year ended December 31, 2016, we issued 137,229 common shares at an average price per share of $29.52 pursuant to our at-the-market offering program, generating gross proceeds of approximately $4.1 million and, after deducting commissions and other costs, net proceeds of approximately $3.8 million. We have $245.9 million remaining available for future common share issuances under our current at-the-market equity program.
In the future, we will continue to monitor the capital markets and may consider raising additional capital through the issuance of our common shares, preferred shares or other securities. We may also raise capital by disposing of properties, land parcels or other assets that are no longer core components of our growth strategy.  The sale price may differ from our carrying value at the time of sale. 



Our Principal Liquidity Needs
 
Short-Term Liquidity Needs
 
 
Near-Term Debt Maturities. As of December 31, 2016,2018, we did not have $6.7 million ofany debt scheduled to mature in 2017,2019, excluding scheduled monthly principal payments. We have sufficient liquidity to repay this obligation from current resources and our capacity on the unsecured revolving credit facility.

  
Other Short-Term Liquidity Needs. The requirements for qualifying as a REIT and for a tax deduction for some or all of the dividends paid to shareholders necessitate that we distribute at least 90% of our taxable income on an annual basis. Such requirements cause us to have substantial liquidity needs over both the short term and the long term. Our short-term liquidity needs consist primarily of funds necessary to pay operating expenses associated with our operating properties, interest expense and scheduled principal payments on our debt, expected dividend payments to our common shareholders and to Common Unit holders, and recurring capital expenditures.


In November 2016,2018, our Board of Trustees declared a cash distribution of $0.3025$0.3175 per common share and Common Unit for the fourth quarter of 2016, which represented a 5.2% increase over our previous quarterly distribution.2018.  This distribution, totaling $27.3 million, was paid on January 13, 201711, 2019 to common shareholders and Common Unit holders of record as of January 6, 2017.  Future dividends are at the discretion of the4, 2019.  In February 2019, our Board of Trustees.

Trustees declared a cash distribution of $0.3175 per common share and Common Unit for the first quarter of 2019. This distribution is expected to be paid on or about March 29, 2019 to common shareholders and Common Unit holders of record as of March 22, 2019.
 
Other short-term liquidity needs also include expenditures for tenant improvements, renovation costs, external leasing commissions and recurring capital expenditures.  During the year ended December 31, 2016,2018, we incurred $9.3$4.5 million of costs for recurring capital expenditures on operating properties and also incurred $17.9 million of costs for tenant improvements and external leasing commissions (excluding first generation space and development and redevelopment properties) and $1.6 million of costs for recurring capital expenditures on our operating properties. We currently anticipate incurring approximately $11$14 million


to $13$16 million of additional major tenant improvements and renovation costs within the next 12 months$25 million to $35 million related to releasing vacant anchor space at a number of our operating properties.

As of December 31, 2018, we had one development project under construction at our Eddy Street Commons property across the street from the University of Notre Dame in South Bend, Indiana.  Total estimated costs for this project, Eddy Street Commons - Phase II, are $90.8 million.  This estimate consists of our projected costs of $10.0 million, tax increment financing of $16.1 million, and construction costs of $64.7 million for residential apartments and townhomes costs that we expect will be covered by an unrelated third party under a ground sublease that is currently being negotiated.  We have provided a completion guaranty to the South Bend Redevelopment Commission and the South Bend Economic Development Commission on the construction of the entire project. We anticipate incurring the majority of the remaining costs for the project over the next 12 to 24 months.  We believe we have the ability to fund this project through cash flow from operations. 

We have 10 properties in our 3-R initiativeone redevelopment that areis currently under construction. Totalconstruction with total estimated costs of this construction are expected to be in the range of $58.0$3.5 million to $66.5$4.5 million. We have already spent $2.5 million and the remaining costs are expected to be incurred through mid-2018.during the first half of 2019. We expect to be able to fund these costs largely from operating cash flow.flows from operations. 
 
As of December 31, 2016, we had two development projects under construction.  The total estimated cost of the development projects is approximately $90.6 million, of which $82.9 million had been incurred as of December 31, 2016.  We currently anticipate incurring the remaining $7.7 million of costs over the next 18 months.  We believe we currently have sufficient financing in place to fund these projects and expect to do so primarily through borrowings on our unsecured revolving credit facility.
Long-Term Liquidity Needs
 
 
Our long-term liquidity needs consist primarily of funds necessary to pay for any new development projects, redevelopment of existing properties, non-recurring capital expenditures, acquisitions of properties, and payment of indebtedness at maturity.


Potential Redevelopment, Reposition, Repurpose Opportunities. We are currently evaluating additional redevelopment, repositioning, and repurposing of several other operating properties as part of our 3-R initiative. Total estimated costs of these properties are currently expected to be in the range of $80$30 million to $100$50 million. We believe we will have sufficient funding for these projects through cash flow from operations, and borrowings on our unsecured revolving credit facility.facility and proceeds from asset sales. 

 
Selective Acquisitions, Developments and Joint Ventures. We may selectively pursue the acquisition and development of other properties, which would require additional capital.  It is unlikely that we would have sufficient funds on hand to meet these long-term capital requirements.  We would haverequirements, requiring us to satisfy these needs through additional borrowings, sales of common or preferred shares, issuance of Operating Partnership units, cash generated through property dispositions or future property acquisitions and/or participation in joint venture arrangements.  We cannot be certain that we would have access to these sources of capital on satisfactory terms, if at all, to fund our long-term liquidity requirements.  We evaluate all future opportunities against pre-established criteria including, but not limited to, location, demographics, expected return, tenant credit quality, tenant relationships, and the amount of existing retail space.space in


the market.  Our ability to access the capital markets will be dependent on a number of factors, including general capital market conditions.

Impact of Changes in Credit Ratings on Our Liquidity


In 2014, we wereWe have been assigned investment grade corporate credit ratings from two nationally recognized credit rating agencies. These ratings remainwere unchanged at December 31, 2016.during 2018.


TheIn the future, the ratings could change based upon, among other things, the impact that prevailing economic conditions may have on our results of operations and financial condition. Credit rating reductions by one or more rating agencies could also adversely affect our access to funding sources, the cost and other terms of obtaining funding, as well as our overall financial condition, operating results and cash flow.


Cash Flows
 

As of December 31, 2016,2018, we had cash and cash equivalents on hand of $19.9$35.4 million. We may be subject to concentrations of credit risk with regard to our cash and cash equivalents.  We place our cash and short-term cash investments with high-credit-qualityhighly rated financial institutions.  While we attempt to limit our exposure at any point in time, occasionally, such cash and investments may temporarily be in excess of FDIC and SIPC insurance limits.  We also maintain certain compensating balances in several financial institutions in support of borrowings from those institutions.  Such compensating balances were not material to the consolidated balance sheets.

Comparison of the Year Ended December 31, 2018 to the Year Ended December 31, 2017
Cash provided by operating activities was $154.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2018, a decrease of $0.2 million from the same period of 2017.  The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in cash provided by operating activities due to our 2017 and 2018 property sales partially offset by the completion of several 3-R projects.
Cash provided by investing activities was $148.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2018, as compared to cash used in investing activities of $2.0 million in the same period of 2017.  The major changes in cash provided by investing activities are as follows: 
Net proceeds of $208.4 million related to the sale of six non-core assets for proceeds of $125 million and the sale of an 80% interest in three core assets for net proceeds of $89 million; and

Decrease in capital expenditures of $13.1 million, partially offset by a decrease in construction payables of $0.8 million.  In 2017 and 2018, we completed construction on multiple development and redevelopment projects.



Cash used in financing activities was $289.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2018, compared to cash used in financing activities of $149.3 million in the same period of 2017.  Highlights of significant cash sources and uses in financing activities during 2017 are as follows:
We borrowed $44.5 million on the unsecured revolving credit facility to fund development activities, redevelopment activities, and tenant improvement costs;

We used the $218.4 million proceeds from the sale of operating properties to pay down the unsecured revolving credit facility;

We paid $22.0 million to partners in one of our joint ventures to fund the redemption of their redeemable noncontrolling interests using a draw on the Credit Facility; and

We made distributions to common shareholders and Common Unit holders of $110.0 million.

1Fixed rate debt includes, and variable rate date excludes, the portion of such debt that has been hedged by interest rate derivatives. As of December 31, 2016, $474.32018, $391.2 million in variable rate debt is hedged for a weighted average 2.7of 2.9 years.


Mortgage indebtedness is collateralized by certain real estate properties and leases.  Mortgage indebtedness is generally repaid in monthly installments of interest and principal and matures over various terms through 2030.

 
Variable interest rates on mortgage indebtedness are based on LIBOR plus spreads ranging from 160150 to 225160 basis points.  At December 31, 2016,2018, the one-month LIBOR interest rate was 0.77%2.50%.  Fixed interest rates on mortgage loans range from 3.78% to 6.78%.




ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK 
 
 
Our future income, cash flows and fair values relevant to financial instruments depend upon prevailing interest rates. We are exposed to interest rate changes primarily through (1) our variable-rate unsecured credit facility and unsecured term loans (2) property-specific variable-rate construction loans, and (3) other property-specific variable-rate mortgages. Our objectives with respect to interest rate risk are to limit the impact of interest rate changes on operations and cash flows, and to lower its overall borrowing costs. To achieve these objectives, we may borrow at fixed rates and may enter into derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swaps, hedges, etc., in order to mitigate its interest rate risk on a related variable-rate financial instrument.  As a matter of policy, we do not utilize financial instruments for trading or speculative transactions.
 
 
We had $1.7$1.5 billion of outstanding consolidated indebtedness as of December 31, 20162018 (inclusive of net unamortized net debt premiums and issuance costs net of $0.7$5.5 million). As of December 31, 2016,2018, we were party to various consolidated interest rate hedge agreements for a total of $474.3totaling $391.2 million, with maturities over various terms ranging from 2017 through 2021. Including2025. Reflecting the effects of these hedge agreements, our fixed and variable rate debt would have been $1.6$1.5 billion (93%(95%) and $0.1 billion (7%(5%), respectively, of our total consolidated indebtedness at December 31, 2016.
2018. 
 
We do not have $6.7 million ofany fixed rate debt maturing within the next 12 months.scheduled to mature during 2019.  A 100 basis point increase in market interest rates would not materially impact the annual cash flows associated with these loans.  A 100 basis100-basis point change in interest rates on our unhedged variable rate debt as of December 31, 20162018 would change our annual cash flow by $1.2$0.7 million.  Based upon the terms of our variable rate debt, we are most vulnerable to a change in short-term LIBOR interest rates.  The sensitivity analysis was estimated using cash flows discounted at current borrowing rates adjusted by 100 basis points.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Kite Realty Group Trust and Kite Realty Group, L.P. and subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 20162018
($ in thousands, except share, per share, unit and per share data)unit amounts and where indicated in millions or billions.)
 
Note 1. Organization
 
 
Kite Realty Group Trust (the "Parent Company"), through its majority-owned subsidiary, Kite Realty Group, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”), owns interests in various operating subsidiaries and joint ventures engaged in the ownership and operation, acquisition, development and redevelopment of high-quality neighborhood and community shopping centers in selectedselect markets in the United States. The terms "Company," "we," "us," and "our" refer to the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership, collectively, and those entities owned or controlled by the Parent Company and/or the Operating Partnership.


The Operating Partnership was formed on August 16, 2004, when the Parent Company contributed properties and the net proceeds from an initial public offering of shares of its common sharesstock to the Operating Partnership. The Parent Company was organized in Maryland in 2004 to succeed toin the development, acquisition, construction and real estate businesses of its predecessor. We believe the Company qualifies as a real estate investment trust (a “REIT”) under provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.


The Parent Company is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, and as of December 31, 20162018 owned approximately 97.7%97.6% of the common partnership interests in the Operating Partnership (“General Partner Units”). The remaining 2.3%2.4% of the common partnership interests (“Limited Partner Units” and, together with the General Partner Units, the “Common Units”) were owned by the limited partners. As the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, the Parent Company has full, exclusive and complete responsibility and discretion in the day-to-day management and control of the Operating Partnership. The Parent Company and the Operating Partnership are operated as one enterprise. The management of the Parent Company consists of the same members as the management of the Operating Partnership. As the sole general partner with control of the Operating Partnership, the Parent Company consolidates the Operating Partnership for financial reporting purposes, and the Parent Company does not have any significant assets other than its investment in the Operating Partnership.
 
   
At December 31, 2016,2018, we owned interests in 119111 operating and redevelopment properties consistingtotaling approximately 21.9 million square feet. We also owned one development project under construction as of this date. Of the 111 properties, 108 retail properties, nine retailare consolidated in these financial statements and the remaining three are accounted for under the equity method.

At December 31, 2017, we owned interests in 117 operating and redevelopment properties one office operating property and an associated parking garage.totaling approximately 23.3 million square feet. We also owned two development projects under construction as of this date.


At December 31, 2015, we owned interests in 118 operating and redevelopment properties consisting of 110 retail properties, six retail redevelopment properties, one office operating property and an associated parking garage. We also owned three development projects under construction as of this date.

The accompanying financial statements are presented on a consolidated basis and include all accounts of the Parent Company, the Operating Partnership, the taxable REIT subsidiary of the Operating Partnership, subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership that are controlled and any variable interest entities (“VIEs”) in which the Operating Partnership is the primary beneficiary.  In general, a VIE is a corporation, partnership, trust or any other legal structure used for business purposes that either (a) has equity investors that do not provide sufficient financial resources for the entity to support its activities, (b) does not have equity investors with voting rights or (c) has equity investors whose votes are disproportionate from their economics and substantially all of the activities are conducted on behalf of the investor with disproportionately fewer voting rights.   


As of January 1, 2016, we adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2015-02, Consolidation: Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis, as required. See the below section entitled "Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements" for further details. The Operating Partnership accounts for properties that are owned by joint ventures in accordance with the consolidation guidance.  The Operating Partnership evaluates each joint venture and determines first whether to follow the VIE or the voting interest entity ("VOE") model. Once the appropriate consolidation model is identified, the Operating Partnership then evaluates whether it should consolidate the joint venture. Under the VIE model, the Operating Partnership consolidates an entity when it has (i) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance, and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. Under the VOE model, the Operating Partnership consolidates an entity when (i) it controls the entity through ownership of a majority voting interest if the entity is not a limited partnership or (ii) it controls the entity through its ability to remove the other partners or owners in the entity, at its discretion, when the entity is a limited partnership.


In determining whether to consolidate a VIE with the Operating Partnership, we consider all relationships between the Operating Partnership and the applicable VIE, including development agreements, management agreements and other contractual arrangements, in determining whether we have the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly affect the VIE's performance.  We also periodically reassess primary beneficiary statusAs of the VIE.  Prior to the adoption of ASC 2015-02,December 31, 2018, we treated one of our consolidatedowned investments in two joint ventures as a VIE. As a result of the adoption of ASC 2015-02, we concluded that two additional previously-consolidated joint ventures of the Operating Partnership were VIEs asin which the partners did not have substantive participating rights and we were the primary beneficiary.  As a result, as of December 31, 2016, we owned investments in three joint ventures that were VIEs in which we were the primary beneficiary.  As of this date, these VIEs had total debt of $238.8$56.6 million, which were secured by assets of the VIEs totaling $496.6$114.8 million.  The Operating Partnership guarantees the debt of these VIEs. These conclusions did not impact the Company's financial position or results of operations.


As part of the adoption of ASC 2015-02, the Company concluded theThe Operating Partnership wasis considered a VIE as the limited partners do not hold kick-out rights or substantive participating rights. The Parent Company consolidates the Operating Partnership as it is the primary beneficiary in accordance with the VIE model.

TH Real Estate Joint Venture

Cornelius GatewayOn June 29, 2018, the Company formed a joint venture involving TH Real Estate (the "TH Real Estate joint venture"). The Company sold three properties to the joint venture valued in the aggregate at $99.8 million and, after considering third party debt obtained by the venture upon formation, the Company contributed $10.0 million for a 20% noncontrolling ownership interest in the venture. The Company serves as the operating member responsible for day-to-day management of the properties and receives property management and leasing fees. Both members have substantive participating rights over major decisions that impact the economics and operations of the joint venture. The Company is accounting for the joint venture on the equity method as it has the ability to exercise influence, but not control over operating and financial policies.

Embassy Suites at the University of Notre Dame

In December 2017, we formed a new joint venture with an unrelated third party to develop and own an Embassy Suites full-service hotel next to our Eddy Street Commons operating property at the University of Notre Dame. For the year ended December 31, 2017, we recorded fee income of $0.4 million. We contributed $1.4 million of cash to the joint venture in return for a 35% ownership interest in the venture. The joint venture has entered into a $33.8 million construction loan, against which $33.0 million was drawn as of December 31, 2018. The joint venture is not considered a VIE. We are accounting for the joint venture under the equity method as both members have substantive participating rights and we do not control the activities of the venture.

Fishers Station Operating Property

In March 2017, we acquired our partner's noncontrolling interest in our Fishers Station operating property for $3.8 million. The transaction increased our controlling interest to 100% and was accounted for through equity in the consolidated statement of shareholders' equity.
 


In December 2015, we sold our Cornelius Gateway operating property that was owned in a consolidated joint venture. The loss, which was not material and is included in "gain on sale of operating properties, net" in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations, was allocated 80% and 20% between us and our partner in accordance with the joint venture's operating agreement.

Acquisition of Real Estate Properties
 
 
Upon acquisition of real estate operating properties, we estimate the fair value of acquired identifiable tangible assets and identified intangible assets and liabilities, assumed debt, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at the date of acquisition, based on evaluation of information and estimates available at that date.  Based on these estimates, we record the estimated fair value to the applicable assets and liabilities.  In making estimates of fair values, a number of sources are utilized, including information obtained as a result of pre-acquisition due diligence, marketing and leasing activities. The estimates of fair value were determined to have primarily relied upon Level 2 and Level 3 inputs, as defined below.
 
 
Fair value is determined for tangible assets and intangibles, including:
 
 
the fair value of the building on an as-if-vacant basis and the fair value of land determined either by comparable market data, real estate tax assessments, independent appraisals or other relevant data;
above-market and below-market in-place lease values for acquired properties, which are based on the present value (using an interest rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and (ii) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases, measured over the remaining non-cancelable term of the leases.  Any below-market renewal options are also considered in the in-place lease values.  The capitalized above-market and below-market lease values are amortized as a reduction of or addition to rental income over the term of the lease.  Should a tenant vacate, terminate its lease, or otherwise notify us of its intent to do so, the unamortized portion of the lease intangibles would be charged or credited to income;
the value of having a lease in place at the acquisition date.  We utilize independent and internal sources for our estimates to determine the respective in-place lease values.  Our estimates of value are made using methods similar to those used by independent appraisers.  Factors we consider in our analysis include an estimate of costs to execute similar leases including tenant improvements, leasing commissions and foregone costs and rent received during the estimated lease-up period as if the space was vacant.  The value of in-place leases is amortized to expense over the remaining initial terms of the respective leases; and
the fair value of any assumed financing that is determined to be above or below market terms.  We utilize third party and independent sources for our estimates to determine the respective fair value of each mortgage payable.  The fair market value of each mortgage payable is amortized to interest expense over the remaining initial terms of the respective loan.


We also consider whether there is any value to in-place leases that have a related customer relationship intangible value.  Characteristics we consider in determining these values include the nature and extent of existing business relationships with the tenant, growth prospects for developing new business with the tenant, the tenant’s credit quality, and expectations of lease renewals, among other factors.  To date, a tenant relationship has not been developed that is considered to have a current intangible value.


We finalize the measurement period of our business combinations when all facts and circumstances are understood, but in no circumstances will the measurement period exceed one year.


Certain properties we acquired through the merger (the "Merger") with Inland Diversified Real Estate Trust, Inc. ("Inland Diversified") in 2014 included earnout components reflected in the purchase price, meaning Inland Diversified did not pay a portion of the purchase price of the property at closing, although they owned the entire property. As these earnouts were the


original obligation of the previous owner, our assumption of these earnouts is similar to the assumption of a contingent obligation. As of December 31, 2016, all earnout components have been settled.

Investment Properties
 
Investment Properties
Capitalization and Depreciation
 
 
Investment properties are recorded at cost and include costs of land acquisition, development, pre-development, construction, certain allocated overhead, tenant allowances and improvements, and interest and real estate taxes incurred during construction.  Significant renovations and improvements are capitalized when they extend the useful life, increase capacity, or improve the efficiency of the asset.  If a tenant vacates a space prior to the lease expiration, terminates its lease, or otherwise notifies the Company of its intent to do so, any related unamortized tenant allowances are expensed over the shortened lease period.  Maintenance and repairs that do not extend the useful lives of the respective assets are reflected in property operating expense.


Pre-development costs are incurred prior to vertical construction and for certain land held for development during the due diligence phase and include contract deposits, legal, engineering, cost of internal resources and other professional fees related to evaluating the feasibility of developing or redeveloping a shopping center or other project.  These pre-development costs are


capitalized and included in construction in progress in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.  If we determine that the completion of a development project is no longer probable, all previously incurred pre-development costs are immediately expensed.  Once construction commences on the land, itLand is transferred to construction in progress.
progress once construction commences on the related project. 
 
We also capitalize costs such as land acquisition, of land,building construction, of buildings, interest, real estate taxes, and the costs of personnel directly involved with the development of our properties.  As a portion of a development property becomes operational, we expense a pro rata amount of related costs.
 
 
Depreciation on buildings and improvements is provided utilizing the straight-line method over estimated original useful lives ranging from 10 to 35 years.  Depreciation on tenant allowances and tenant improvements are provided utilizing the straight-line method over the term of the related lease.  Depreciation on equipment and fixtures is provided utilizing the straight-line method over 5 to 10 years. Depreciation may be accelerated for a redevelopment project including partial demolition of existing structure after the asset is assessed for impairment.
  

Impairment
 
 
Management reviews operational and development projects, land parcels and intangible assets for impairment on at least a quarterly basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. TheThis review for possible impairment requires management to make certain assumptions, and estimates, and requires significant judgment. Impairment losses for investment properties and intangible assets are measured when the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by the investment properties during the expected holding period are less than the carrying amounts of those assets. Impairment losses are recorded as the excess of the carrying value over the estimated fair value of the asset. Our impairment review for land and development properties assumes we have the intent and the ability to complete the developments or projected uses for the land parcels. If we determine those plans will not be completed or our assumptions with respect to operating assets are not realized, an impairment loss may be appropriate.


Asset Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations
 
 
Operating properties will be classified as held for sale only when those properties are available for immediate sale in their present condition and for which management believes it is probable that a sale of the property will be completed within one year,


among other factors. Operating properties classified as held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or fair value less estimated costs to sell. Depreciation and amortization are suspended during the held-for-sale period.  


Escrow Deposits
 
 
Escrow deposits consist of cash held for real estate taxes, property maintenance, insurance and other requirements at specific properties as required by lending institutions and certain municipalities.


Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
 
We consider all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of 90 days or less to be cash and cash equivalents.  From time to time, such investments may temporarily be held in accounts that are in excess of FDIC and SIPC insurance limits; however the Company attempts to limit its exposure at any one time.
  
Fair Value Measurements
 
We follow the framework established under accounting standard FASB ASC 820,Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, for measuring fair value of non-financial assets and liabilities that are not required or permitted to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis but only in certain circumstances, such as a business combination or upon determination of impairment.


Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets are categorized based on the inputs to the valuation techniques as follows:


Level 1 fair value inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments to which we have access.

Level 2 fair value inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for similar instruments, either directly or indirectly, and appropriately consider counterparty creditworthiness in the valuations.



Level 3 fair value inputs reflect our best estimate of inputs and assumptions market participants would use in pricing an instrument at the measurement date. The inputs are unobservable in the market and significant to the valuation estimate. 


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. Our 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. As discussed in Note 108 to the Financial Statements, we have determined that its derivative valuations are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.


Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, escrows and deposits, and other working capital balances approximate fair value.
 

Note 7 to the Financial Statements includes a discussion of the fair values recorded for assets acquired and liabilities assumed.  Note 86 to the Financial Statements includes a discussion of the fair values recorded when we recognized an impairment charge on our Shops at Otty operating property.charges in 2018 and 2017. Level 3 inputs to these transactions include our estimations of market leasing rates, tenant-related costs, discount rates, and disposal values.
 
Derivative Financial Instruments


 
The Company accounts for its derivative financial instruments at fair value calculated in accordance with Topic 820—“ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” in the ASC.Disclosures.  Gains or losses resulting from changes in the fair values of those derivatives are accounted for depending on the use of the derivative and whether it qualifies for hedge accounting.  We use derivative instruments such as interest rate swaps or rate locks to mitigate interest rate risk on related financial instruments.
 
Changes in the fair values of derivatives that qualify as cash flow hedges are recognized in other comprehensive income (“OCI”) while any ineffective portion of a derivative’s change in fair value is recognized immediately in earnings.  Gains and losses associated with the transaction are recorded in OCI and amortized over the underlying term of the hedged transaction.  As of December 31, 20162018 and 2015,2017, all of our derivative instruments qualify for hedge accounting.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
 
As a lessor of real estate assets, the Company retains substantially all of the risks and benefits of ownership and accountaccounts for its leases as operating leases.
 

Contractual minimum base rent, percentage rent, and expense reimbursements from tenants for common area maintenance costs, insurance and real estate taxes are our principal sources of revenue.  Base minimum rents are recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective leases.  Certain lease agreements contain provisions that grant additional rents based on a tenant’s sales volume (contingent overage rent). Overage rent is recognized when tenants achieve the specified sales targets as defined in their lease agreements.  Overage rent is included in other property related revenue in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.  As a result of generating this revenue, we will routinelyWe have accounts receivable due from tenants. Wetenants and are subject to the risk of tenant defaults and bankruptcies that may affect the collection of outstanding receivables. To address the collectability of these receivables, we analyze historical write-off experience, tenant credit-worthiness and current economic trends when evaluating the adequacy of our allowance for doubtfuluncollectible accounts and straight linestraight-line rent reserve.reserve accordingly. Although we estimate uncollectible receivables and provide for them through charges against income, actual experience may differ from those estimates.


Gains or losses from sales of real estate arehave historically been recognized when a sale has been consummated, the buyer’s initial and continuing investment is adequate to demonstrate a commitment to pay for the asset, we have transferred to the buyer the usual risks and rewards of ownership, and we do not have a substantial continuing financial involvement in the property.  As part of our ongoing business strategy, we will, from time to time, sell land parcels and outlots, some of which are ground leased to tenants.  Net gains realized on such sales were $3.9$3.1 million, $5.6$5.2 million, and $1.5$3.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015,2018, 2017, and 2014,2016, respectively, and are classified as other property related revenue in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
 
Tenant and Other Receivables and Allowance for DoubtfulUncollectible Accounts
 
 
Tenant receivables consist primarily of billed minimum rent, accrued and billed tenant reimbursements, and accrued straight-line rent.  The Company generally does not require specific collateral from its tenants other than corporate or personal guarantees. Other receivables consist primarily of receivablesamounts due from municipalities and from tenants for non-rental revenue related activities.
 


An allowance for doubtfuluncollectible accounts is maintained for estimated losses resulting from the inability of certain tenants or others to meet contractual obligations under their lease or other agreements.  Accounts are written off when, in the opinion of management, the balance is uncollectible.

Concentration of Credit Risk
 
 
We may be subject to concentrations of credit risk with regards to our cash and cash equivalents.  We place cash and temporary cash investments with high-credit-quality financial institutions.  From time to time, such cash and investments may temporarily be in excess of insurance limits.  

In addition, our accounts receivable from and leases with tenants potentially subjects us to a concentration of credit risk related to our accounts receivable and revenue.  At December 31, 2016, 53%, 7% and 2% of total

Earnings Per Share
 
 
Basic earnings per share or unit is calculated based on the weighted average number of common shares or units outstanding during the period.  Diluted earnings per share or unit is determined based on the weighted average common number of shares or units outstanding during the period combined with the incremental average common shares or units that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all potentially dilutive common shares or units into common shares or units as of the earliest date possible.
 
 
Potentially dilutive securities include outstanding options to acquire common shares; Limited Partner Units, which may be exchanged for either cash or common shares, at the Parent Company’s option and under certain circumstances; units under our Outperformance Incentive Compensation Plan ("Outperformance Plan"); and deferred common share units, which may be credited to the personal accounts of non-employee trustees in lieu of the payment of cash compensation or the issuance of common shares to such trustees.  Limited Partner Units have been omitted from the Parent Company’s denominator for the purpose of computing diluted earnings per share since the effect of including these amounts in


the denominator would have no dilutive impact. Weighted average Limited Partner Units outstanding for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016 2015 and 2014 were 1.92.0 million, 1.82.0 million and 1.71.9 million, respectively.


ApproximatelyLess than 0.1 million, 0.1 million and 0.3 million outstanding options to acquire common shares were excluded from the computations of diluted earnings per share or unit because their impact was not dilutive for each of the 12twelve months ended December 31, 2016, 20152018, 2017 and 2014 respectively. Due2016. In addition, Limited Partner Units, units issued under our Outperformance Plan, and deferred common share units are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share due to ourthe net loss attributable to common shareholders and Common Unit holders for the year ended December 31, 2014, no securities had a dilutive impact for that period.position.


On August 11, 2014, we completed a one-for-four reverse share split of our common shares. As a result of the reverse share split, the number of outstanding common shares of the Company was reduced from approximately 332.7 million to approximately 83.2 million at that date.  Unless otherwise noted, all common share and per share information contained herein has been restated to reflect the reverse share split as if it had occurred as of the beginning of the first period presented.
Segment Reporting




Our primary business is the ownership and operation of neighborhood and community shopping centers. We do not distinguish or group our operations on a geographical basis, or any other basis, when measuring and evaluating financial performance. Accordingly, we have one operating segment, which also serves as our reportable segment for disclosure purposes in accordance with GAAP.


Income Taxes and REIT Compliance

Parent Company

The Parent Company, which is considered a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, has been organized and intends to continue to operate in a manner that will enable it to maintain its qualification as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. As a result, it generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the earnings that it distributes to the extent it distributes its “REIT taxable income” (determined before the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gains) to shareholders of the Parent Company and meets certain other requirements on a recurring basis. To the extent that it satisfies this distribution requirement, but distributes less than 100% of its taxable income, it will be subject to U.S. federal corporate income tax on its undistributed REIT taxable income. REITs are subject to a number of organizational and operational requirements. If the Parent Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, it will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on its taxable income at regular corporate rates for a period of four years following the year in which qualification is lost. We may also be subject to certain U.S. federal, state and local taxes on our income and property and to federal income and excise taxes on our undistributed taxable income even if the Parent Company does qualify as a REIT. The Operating Partnership intends to continue to make distributions to the Parent Company in amounts sufficient to assist the Parent Company in adhering to REIT requirements and maintaining its REIT status.

We have elected to treat Kite Realty Holdings, LLC as a taxable REIT subsidiary of the Operating Partnership, and we may elect to treat other subsidiaries as taxable REIT subsidiaries in the future. This election enables us to receive income and provide services that would otherwise be impermissible for a REIT. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are established for temporary differences between the financial reporting bases and the tax bases of assets and liabilities at the tax rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.


Operating Partnership

The allocated share of income and loss, other than the operations of our taxable REIT subsidiary, is included in the income tax returns of the Operating Partnership's partners. Accordingly, the only U.S. federal income taxes included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements are in connection with itsthe taxable REIT subsidiary.

Noncontrolling Interests
 
 
We report the non-redeemable noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries as equity and the amount of consolidated net income attributable to these noncontrolling interests is set forth separately in the consolidated financial statements.  The non-redeemable noncontrolling interests in consolidated properties for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015,2018, 2017, and 20142016 were as follows:

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests – Operating PartnershipLimited Partners
 
Limited Partner Units are redeemable noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership. We classify redeemable noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets outside of permanent equity because we may be required to pay cash to holders of Limited Partner Units upon redemption of their interests in the Operating Partnership or deliver registered shares upon their conversion.  The carrying amount of the redeemable noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership is reflected at the greater of historical book value or redemption value with a corresponding adjustment to additional paid-in capital. At December 31, 2016,2018, the redemption value of the redeemable noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership did not exceed the historical book value, and 2015,the balance was accordingly adjusted to historical book value. At December 31, 2017, the redemption value of the redeemable noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership exceeded the historical book value, and the balance was accordingly adjusted to redemption value.
 
 
We allocate net operating results of the Operating Partnership after preferred dividends and noncontrolling interests in the consolidated properties based on the partners’ respective weighted average ownership interest.  We adjust the redeemable noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership at the end of each reporting period to reflect their interests in the Operating Partnership or redemption value.  This adjustment is reflected in our shareholders’ and Parent Company's equity.  For the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015,2018, 2017, and 2014,2016, the weighted average interests of the Parent Company and the limited partners in the Operating Partnership were as follows:

At December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015,2018, the Parent Company's interest and the limited partners' redeemable noncontrolling ownership interests in the Operating Partnership were 97.6% and 2.4%. At December 31, 2017, the Parent Company's interest and the limted partners' redeemable noncontrolling ownership interests in the Operating Parntership were 97.7% and 2.3% and 97.8% and 2.2%, respectively.
. 
  
Concurrent with the Parent Company’s initial public offering and related formation transactions, certain individuals received Limited Partner Units of the Operating Partnership in exchange for their interests in certain properties. The limited partners were grantedhave the right to redeem Limited Partner Units on or after August 16, 2005 for cash or, at the Parent Company's election, common shares of the Parent Company in an amount equal to the market value of an equivalent number of common shares of the Parent Company at the time of redemption. Such common shares must be registered, which is not fully in the Parent Company’s control. Therefore, the limited partners’ interest is not reflected in permanent equity. The Parent Company also has the right to redeem the Limited Partner Units directly from the limited partner in exchange for either cash in the amount specified above or a number of its common shares equal to the number of Limited Partner Units being redeemed. For the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively, 5,500, 18,000, and 22,000 Limited Partner Units were exchanged for the same number of common shares of the Parent Company.




There were 1,942,3402,035,349 and 1,901,2781,974,830 Limited Partner Units outstanding as of December 31, 20162018 and 2015,2017, respectively. The increase in Limited Partner Units outstanding from December 31, 20152017 is due primarily to non-cash compensation awards previously made to our executive officers in the form of Limited Partner Units.officers. 
 
Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests - Subsidiaries
 
 
Prior to the Mergerour merger with Inland Diversified Real Estate Trust, Inc. ("Inland Diversified") in 2014, Inland Diversified formed joint ventures with the previous owners of certain properties and issued Class B units in three joint ventures that indirectly own those properties.  The Class B units related to twoone of these three joint ventures remain outstanding subsequent to the Merger and are accounted for as noncontrolling interests in these properties.  The remaining Class B units will become redeemable at our applicable partner’spartner's election at future dates generally beginning in March 2017 or October 2022 based on the applicable joint venture agreement and the fulfillment of certain redemption criteria.  Beginning in June 2018 and November

Recently IssuedEffects of Accounting Pronouncements
 
 
In April 2014, the Financial AccountingAdoption of New Standards Board ("FASB") issued

On January 1, 2018, we adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity (the “Update”). The Update changes the definition of discontinued operations by limiting discontinued operations reporting to disposals of components of an entity or assets that meet the criteria to be classified as held for sale and that represent strategic shifts that have (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results. The Update also requires expanded disclosures for discontinued operations and requires an entity to disclose the pretax profit or loss of an individually significant component of an entity that does not qualify for discontinued operations reporting in the period in which it is disposed of or is classified as held for sale and for all prior periods that are presented in the statement where net income is reported. The Update is effective for annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014, with early adoption permitted for disposals of assets that were not held for sale as of December 31, 2013. We adopted the Update in the first quarter of 2014. In March 2014, the Company disposed of its 50th and 12th operating property which had been classified as held for sale at December 31, 2013. Accordingly, the revenues and expenses of this property and the associated gain on sale have been classified in discontinued operations in the 2014 consolidated statements of operations.


In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2014-9, 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-9”2014-09”). using the modified retrospective approach. ASU 2014-9 is2014-09 revised GAAP by offering a single comprehensive revenue recognition standard that will supersedesupersedes nearly all existing GAAP revenue recognition guidance. It will also affect the existing GAAP guidance governing the saleThe impacted revenue streams primarily consist of nonfinancial assets. The new standard’s core principle is that a company will recognize revenue when it satisfies performance obligations by transferring promised goods orfees earned from management, development services provided to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for fulfilling those performance obligations. In doing so, companies will need to exercise more judgmentthird parties, and make more estimates than under existing GAAP guidance.


Underother ancillary income earned from our properties. No adjustments were required upon adoption of this standard, entities will now generally recognize the sale, and any associated gain or loss, of a real estate property when control of the property transfers, as long as collectability of the consideration is probable.

standard. We have preliminarily evaluated our revenue streams and for the year ended December 31, 2016, less than 1% of our annual revenue will bewas impacted by this new standard upon its initial adoption.

Additionally, we have primarily disposedadopted the clarified scope guidance of propertyASC 610-20, "Other Income - Gains and landLosses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets" in conjunction with ASU 2014-09, using the modified retrospective approach. ASC 610-20 applies to the sale, transfer and derecognition of nonfinancial assets and in substance nonfinancial assets to noncustomers, including partial sales, and eliminates the guidance specific to real estate in ASC 360-20. With respect to full disposals, the recognition will generally be consistent with our current measurement and pattern of recognition. With respect to partial sales of real estate to joint


ventures, the new guidance requires us to recognize a full gain where an equity investment is retained. These transactions could result in a basis difference as we will be required to measure our retained equity interest at fair value, whereas the joint venture may continue to measure the assets received at carryover basis. No adjustments were required upon adoption of this standard.

During the year ended December 31, 2018, we sold multiple operating properties in all cash transactions with no continuing future involvement. The gains recognized were less than 1% of our total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2018. As we do not have any continuing involvement in the operations of the operating properties, there was not a change in the accounting for the sales.

In addition, we sold a controlling interest in three operating properties to a newly formed joint venture involving TH Real Estate. The Company calculated the gain in accordance with ASC 606 and therefore, do not expectASC 610-20 that requires full gain recognition upon deconsolidation of a nonfinancial asset. The properties were sold for an agreed upon value of $99.8 million. Net proceeds from the new standardsale were $89.0 million and a net gain of $7.8 million was recorded as a result of the sale. The Company contributed $10.0 million for a 20% ownership interest in the joint venture.

On January 1, 2018 we adopted ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230), and ASU 2016-18, Restricted Cash, using a retrospective transition approach, which changed our statements of cash flows and related disclosures for all periods presented. ASU 2016-15 is intended to significantlyreduce diversity in practice with respect to how certain transactions are classified in the statement of cash flows and its adoption had no impact on our financial statements. ASU 2016-18 requires that a statement of cash flows explain the recognitionchange during the period in total of propertycash, cash equivalents, and land sales.amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. The following is a summary of our cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash total as presented in our statements of cash flows for the years ended December, 2018, 2017, and 2016:

ASU 2014-9 is effective for public entities for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. ASU 2014-9 allows for either recognizing the cumulative effect of application (i) at the start of the earliest comparative period presented (with the option to use any or all of three practical expedients) or (ii) as a cumulative effect adjustment as of the date of initial application, with no restatement of comparative periods presented. We expect to adopt ASU 2014-09 using the modified retrospective approach.

New Standards Issued but Not Yet Adopted

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases. ASU 2016-02 amends the existing accounting standards for lease accounting, including requiring lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets and making certain changes to lessor accounting, including the accounting for sales-type and direct financing leases. ASU 2016-02 will be effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginningus on or after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted.January 1, 2019. The new standard requires a modified retrospective transition approach for all leases existing at, or entered into after, the date of initial application, with an


option to use certain transition relief. As a resultBecause of the adoption of ASU 2016-02, we expect common area maintenance reimbursements that are of a fixed nature to be recognized on a straight linestraight-line basis over the term of the lease as these tenant reimbursements will be considered a non-lease component and will be subject to ASU 2014-09.for all leases entered into after January 1, 2019. We also expect to recognize right of use assets on our balance sheet related to certain ground leases where we are the lessee. Upon adoption of the standard, we anticipate recognizing a right of use asset currently estimated to be between $27 million and $32 million. In addition to evaluating the impact of adopting the new accounting standard will have on our consolidated financial statements, we are performing an inventory ofevaluating our existing lease contracts, evaluating our current and potentialfuture information system capabilities, and evaluating our current compensation structure.other variables.


In July 2018, the FASB amended the new lease accounting standard to approve a new transition method and a lessor practical expedient for separating lease and non-lease components. This permits lessors to make an accounting policy election to not separate non-lease components, such as common area maintenance, of a contract from the leases to which they relate when specific criteria are met. We believe we meet these criteria and plan to elect this practical expedient.
The new leasing standard also amends ASC 340-40, Other Assets and Deferred Costs - Contracts with Customers. CustomersUnder ASC 340-40, incremental costs of obtaining a contract are recognized as an asset if the entity expects to recover them, which will
reduce the leasing costs currently capitalized. Upon adoption of the new standard, we expect ana reduction in certain capitalized costs and a corresponding increase in general, administrative, and other expense and a decrease in amortization expense on our consolidated statement of operations butto be approximately $4.0 - $5.5 million, although the magnitudeamount of that changesuch impact is highly


dependent upon the leasing compensation structurestructures in place atin the time of adoption.

period subsequent to adoption, which may ultimately differ from those assumed by this projection.

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02, Consolidation: Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis. ASU 2015-02 makes changes to both the VIE and VOE models, amended the criteria for determining VIEs and eliminated the presumption that a general partner should consolidate a limited partnership. All reporting entities involved with limited partnerships and similar entities were required to re-evaluate whether these entities, including the Operating Partnership, are subject to the VIE or VOE model and whether they qualify for consolidation. We adopted ASU 2015-02 in the first quarter of 2016 and, although we classified two additional consolidated joint ventures of the Operating Partnership as VIEs (for a total of three consolidated VIEs as of March 31, 2016), there was no material effect on our consolidated financial statements.


In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs ("ASU 2015-03"). ASU 2015-03 requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability. Prior to the issuance of ASU 2015-03, we presented debt issuance costs as deferred charge assets, separate from the related debt liability. ASU 2015-03 was effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2015. We adopted ASU 2015-03 retrospectively in the first quarter of 2016. As a result of the retrospective adoption, we reclassified unamortized debt issuance costs of $9.6 million as of December 31, 2015, from deferred costs and intangibles, net to a reduction in mortgage and other indebtedness, net on our consolidated balance sheets. Other than this reclassification, the adoption of ASU 2015-03 did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.


In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-16, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments. ASU 2015-16 eliminates the requirement for an acquirer in a business combination to account for measurement-period adjustments retrospectively. ASU 2015-16 requires that an acquirer must recognize measurement-period adjustments in the period in which they determine the amounts, including the effect on earnings of any amounts they would have recorded in previous periods if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. ASU 2015-16 is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2015. We adopted ASU 2015-16 in the first quarter of 2016 and there was no effect on our consolidated financial statements as we did not have any business combinations during this period.


In JanuaryAugust 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01,2017-12, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a BusinessDerivatives and Hedging: Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities. ASU 2017-01 amends2017-02 better aligns a company’s financial reporting for hedging activities with the existing accounting standards for business combinations, by providing a screen to determine when a seteconomic objectives of assets and activities is not a business. The screen requires that when substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired (or disposed of) is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, the assets and activities are not a business. This screen reduces the number of transactions that will likely qualify as business combinations.those activities. ASU 2017-012017-12 will be effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2017,2018, with early adoption permitted. We planpermitted using a modified retrospective transition method. This adoption method will require us to adoptrecognize the cumulative effect of initially applying the ASU 2017-01 inas an adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive income with a corresponding adjustment to the first quarteropening balance of 2017. As a resultretained earnings as of the adoption, we expect future acquisitions of single investment properties will not result in the recognition of transaction cost expenses, as the single investment properties will likely not meet the definition of a business and all direct transaction costs will be capitalized.

The settlement agreement did not restrict our usebeginning of the proceeds. These proceeds, netfiscal year that an entity adopts the update.

Note 4.3. Share-Based Compensation
 
Overview
 
 
The Company's 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Plan") authorizes options to acquire common shares and other share-based compensation awards to be granted to employees and trustees for up to an additional 1,500,000 common shares of the Company.  The Company accounts for its share-based compensation in accordance with the fair value recognition provisions provided under Topic 718—“Stock Compensation” in the ASC.
Accounting Standards Codification. 
 
The total share-based compensation expense, net of amounts capitalized, included in general and administrative expenses for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017, and 2016 2015, and 2014 was $5.1$4.9 million, $4.4$5.8 million, and $2.9$5.1 million, respectively.  For the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015,2018, 2017, and 2014,2016, total share-based compensation cost capitalized for development and leasing activities was $1.7 million, $1.7 million, and $1.5 million, $1.0 million, and $0.8 million, respectively.
The Company recognizes forfeitures as they occur. 
 
As of December 31, 2016,2018, there were 862,152332,263 shares and units available for grant under the Plan.
 
Share Options
 
 
Pursuant to the Plan, the Company may periodically grant options to purchase common shares at an exercise price equal to the grant date fair value of the Company's common shares.  Granted options typically vest over a five year period and expire 10 years from the grant date.  The Company issues new common shares upon the exercise of options.

Restricted Shares
 
 
In addition to share option grants, the Plan also authorizes the grant of share-based compensation awards in the form of restricted common shares.  Under the terms of the Plan, these restricted shares, which are considered to be outstanding shares from the date of grant, typically vest over a period ranging from three to five years.  The Company pays dividends on restricted shares and such dividends are charged directly to shareholders’ equity.

Outperformance Plans
 
 
The Compensation Committee of the Board of Trustees (the “Compensation Committee”) has previously adopted outperformance plans to further align the interests of our shareholders and management by encouraging our senior officers and other key employees to “outperform” and to create shareholder value. In 2014, the Compensation Committee adopted the 2014 Kite Realty Group Trust Outperformance Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2014 OPP”) under the Plan and the partnership agreement of our Operating Partnership for members of executive management and certain other employees, pursuant to which participants are eligible to earn profit interests ("LTIP Units") in the Operating Partnership based on the achievement of certain performance criteria related to the Company’s common shares. The 2014 OPP was adopted mid-year and the OPP awards granted at that time were intended to encompass OPP awards for both the 2014 and 2015 fiscal years. As a result, the Compensation Committee did not adopt an outperformance incentive compensation plan in 2015. No awards were granted under the 2014 OPP in the 2015 fiscal year.


On January 28,In 2016, the Compensation Committee adopted the 2016 Kite Realty Group Trust Outperformance Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2016 OPP”) under the Plan and the partnership agreement of our Operating Partnership. Upon the adoption of the 2016 OPP, the Compensation Committee granted individual awards in the form of LTIP units that, subject to vesting and the satisfaction of other conditions, are exchangeable on a par unit value equal to the then trading price of one of our common shares. The terms of the 2016 OPP are similar to the terms of the 2014 OPP.

The Compensation Committee did not adopt an outperformance incentive compensation plan in the 2017 and 2018 fiscal years.



In 2014 and 2016, participants in the 2014 OPP and the 2016 OPP were awarded the right to earn, in the aggregate, up to $7.5 million and up to $6.0 million of share-settled awards (the “bonus pool”) if, and only to the extent which, our total shareholder return (“TSR”) performance measures arewere achieved for the three-year period beginning July 1, 2014 and ending June 30, 2017 and for the three-year period beginning January 4, 2016 and ending December 31, 2018, respectively.  Awarded interests not earned based on the TSR measures arewould be forfeited.
 
 
If the TSR performance measures arewere achieved at the end of each three-year performance period, participants willwould receive their percentage interest in the bonus pool as LTIP Units in the Operating Partnership. Such LTIP Units would vest over an additional two-year service period.  The compensation cost of the 2014 and 2016 Outperformance Plans were fixed as of the grant date and will be recognized regardless of whether the LTIP Units are ultimately earned, or ifassuming the service requirement is met.

The TSR performance measures were not achieved for the 2014 and 2016 OPP and all potential awards were forfeited in 2017 and 2018, respectively.
 
The 2014 and 2016 awards were valued at an aggregate value of $2.3 million and $1.9 million, respectively, utilizing a Monte Carlo model simulation that takes into account various assumptions including the nature and history of the Company, financial and economic conditions affecting the Company, past results, current operations and future prospects of the Company, the historical TSR and total return volatility of the SNL U.S. REIT Index, price return volatility, dividend yields of the Company's common shares and the terms of the awards.  We expect to incur $1.0$0.3 million of this expense in fiscal year 2017, $0.8 million in fiscal year 2018, $0.4 million in fiscal year 2019 and $0.1 million in fiscal year 2020.


Performance Awards


In 2015,2016, the Compensation Committee established overall target values for incentive compensation for each executive officer, with 50% of the target value being granted in the form of a time-based restricted share awards that were made on a discretionary basis in the spring of 2016, based on review of the prior year's performance, and the remaining 50% being granted in the form of a three-year performance share award.awards. In 2017 and 2018, the Compensation Committee modified these targets to be 60% performance awards and 40% time-based awards.

Time-based restricted share awards were made on a discretionary basis in 2016, 2017, and 2018 based on review of each prior year's performance.

In 2015 and 2016, the Compensation Committee awarded each of the four named executive officers a three-year performance award in the form of restricted performance share units ("PSUs"). The 2015 PSUs may be earned over a three-year performance period from January 1, 2015 to December 31, 2017 and the 2016 PSUs may be earned over a three-year performance period from January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2018. The performance criteria will be based on the relative TSRtotal shareholder return ("TSR") achieved by the Company measured against a peer group over the three-year measurement period. Any PSUs earned at the end of the three-year period will be fully vested at that date. The total number of PSUs issued each year to the executive officers was based on a target value of $1.0 million, but may be earned in a range from 0% to 200% of the target value depending on our TSR over the measurement period in relation to the peer group.  Based on the relative TSR over the 2016 PSU measurement period, we do not expect any PSUs to be earned and awarded to our executive officers in 2019.

In 2017, the Compensation Committee awarded each of the four named executive officers a three-year performance award in the form of PSUs. The PSUs may be earned over a three-year performance period from January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2019. The performance criteria will be based 50% on the absolute TSR achieved by the Company over the three-year measurement period and 50% on the relative TSR achieved by the Company measured against a peer group over the three-year measurement period. The total number of PSUs issued to the executive officers was based on a target value of $2.0 million, but may be earned in a range from 0% to 200% of the target value depending on our absolute TSR over the measurement period and our relative TSR over the measurement period in relation to the peer group.

In 2018, the Compensation Committee awarded each of the four named executive officers a three-year performance award in the form of PSUs. The PSUs may be earned over a three-year performance period from January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2020. The performance criteria will be based 60% on the relative TRS achieved by the Company measured against a peer group over the three-year measurement period and 40% on the achievement of a defined funds available for distribution ("FAD"). The total number of PSUs issued to the executive officers was based upon a target value of $2.4 million, but may be earned in a range of 0% to 200% of the target. Additionally, any PSUs earned based on the achievement of the pre-established FAD goals will be subject to adjustment(either up or down 25%) based on the Company's absolute TSR over the three-year measurement period.

The 20152018, 2017 and 2016 PSUs were valued at an aggregate value of $1.1$2.2 million, $2.2 million and $1.3 million, respectively, utilizing a Monte Carlo simulation.  We expect to incur $0.8$1.3 million of this expense in fiscal year 2017, $0.52019, $0.7 million in fiscal year 20182020, and less than $0.1 million in fiscal year 2019.2021.

Impairment Charges


The results of operations for all properties acquired duringDuring the yearsyear ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 have been included in continuing operations within our consolidated financial statements since their respective dates of acquisition.


The fair value of the real estate and other assets acquired by the Company were primarily determined using the income approach.  The income approach required us to make assumptions about market leasing rates, tenant-related costs, discount rates, and disposal values.  The estimates of fair value primarily relied upon Level 2 and Level 3 inputs, as previously defined.  
Transaction costs are expensed as they are incurred, regardless of whether the transaction is ultimately completed or terminated. Transaction costs generally consist of legal, lender, due diligence, and other expenses for professional services. Transaction costs for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015, and 2014 were $2.8 million, $1.6 million and $27.5 million, respectively.
In 2015,2018, we acquired foursold six operating properties for total considerationaggregate gross proceeds of $185.8 million, including$122.2 million. The following summarizes our 2018 operating property dispositions:

In addition, we entered into a joint venture with TH Real Estate by selling an 80% interest in three operating assets for an agreed upon value of $99.8 million. The properties sold to the assumption of an $18.3 million loan, which are summarized below:joint venture were the following:

The Company recorded a net gain of $3.4 million as a result of the 2018 disposal activity.

In February 2019, the Company announced a plan to market and sell up to $500 million in non-core assets as part of a program designed to improve the Company's portfolio quality, reduce its leverage, and focus operations on markets where the Company believes it can gain scale and generate attractive risk-adjusted returns. The following table summarizesCompany currently anticipates that the estimationbulk of the net proceeds will be used to repay debt, further strengthening its balance sheet. The disposal plan was considered an impairment indicator under ASC 360, and we assessed various properties for impairment using a shortened hold period based upon the facts and circumstances that existed at the balance sheet date. Changes to the disposal plans, including the composition of the properties to be potentially be sold, may result in future impairment charges.

As of December 31, 2018, in connection with the preparation and review of the financial statements, we evaluated four operating properties and land previously held for development for impairment and recorded a $31.5 million impairment charge due to changes during the quarter in facts and circumstances underlying the Company's expected future hold period of these properties and decision to not move forward with development of the land. A shortening of an expected future hold period is considered an impairment indicator under applicable accounting rules, and this indicator caused us to further evaluate the carrying value of these properties. We concluded the estimated undiscounted cash flows over the expected holding period did not exceed the carrying value of these assets, leading to the charge during the quarter. We estimated the fair value using Level 3 inputs within the fair value hierarchy, including a combination of the income and market approaches. We compared the estimated aggregate fair value of $75.5 million to the carrying values, which resulted in the recording of a non-cash impairment charge of $31.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2018.

As of June 30, 2018, in connection with the preparation and review of the financial statements, we evaluated two properties for impairment and recorded a $14.8 million impairment charge due to changes during the quarter in facts and circumstances


underlying the Company's expected future hold period of these properties. A shortening of an expected future hold period is considered an impairment indicator under applicable accounting rules, and this indicator caused us to further evaluate the carrying value of these properties. We concluded the estimated undiscounted cash flows over the expected holding period did not exceed the carrying value of these assets, leading to the charge during the quarter. We estimated the fair value using Level 3 inputs within the fair value hierarchy, primarily using the market approach. We compared the estimated aggregate fair value of $30.4 million to the carrying values, which resulted in the recording of a non-cash impairment charge of $14.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. One of these properties was sold in the fourth quarter of 2018.

In connection with the preparation and review of the financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2018, we evaluated an operating property for impairment and recorded a $24.1 million impairment charge due to changes during the quarter in facts and circumstances underlying the Company’s expected future hold period of this property.  A shortening of an expected future hold period is considered an impairment indicator under applicable accounting rules, and this indicator caused us to further evaluate the carrying value of this property. We concluded the estimated undiscounted cash flows over the expected holding period did not exceed the carrying value of a certain asset, leading to the charge during the quarter. We estimated the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumedthe property to be $24.3 million using Level 3 inputs within the fair value hierarchy, primarily using the market approach. We compared the estimated fair value to the carrying value, which resulted in the recording of a non-cash impairment charge of $24.1 million for the properties acquired in 2015:three months ended March 31, 2018. This property was contributed to the TH Real Estate joint venture.

During the second quarter of 2016, we sold our Shops at Otty operating property in Portland, Oregon for a net gain of $0.2 million. In the fourth quarter of 2015, we wrote off the book value of this property and recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $1.6 million, asintended holding period. We concluded the estimated undiscounted cash flows over the remainingexpected holding period did not exceed the carrying value of the asset.

The Company estimated the fair value of the property to be $26.0 million using Level 3 inputs within the fair value hierarchy, primarily using the market approach. We compared the fair value measurement to the carrying value, which resulted in the recording of a non-cash impairment charge of $7.4 million. This property was sold during 2017.

Debt Issuance Costs


Effective March 31, 2016, we adopted ASC 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, which changes the presentation of debt issuance costs on the consolidated balance sheets. We reclassified debt issuance costs from deferred costs and intangibles, net to a reduction in mortgage and other indebtedness, net on our consolidated balance sheets. The reclassification did not have an impact on our consolidated statement of operations.


Debt issuance costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective loan agreements. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, total unamortized debt issuance costs were $12.8 million and $9.6 million, respectively.

Fair Value of Fixed and Variable Rate Debt
 
 
As of December 31, 2016,2018, the estimated fair value and book value of our fixed rate debt was $1.2 billion compared to the book value of $1.1 billion.  The fair value was estimated using Level 2 and 3 inputs with cash flows discounted at current borrowing rates for similar instruments, which ranged from 3.78%4.08% to 6.78%4.54%.  As of December 31, 2016,2018, the estimated fair value of variable rate debt was $635.7$466.3 million compared to the book value of $594.0$464.1 million.  The fair value was estimated using Level 2 and 3 inputs with cash flows discounted at current borrowing rates for similar instruments, which ranged from 2.07%3.65% to 3.02%4.55%.

 
Note 10.8.  Derivative Instruments, Hedging Activities and Other Comprehensive Income
 
 
In order to manage potential future variable interest rate risk, we enter into interest rate derivative agreements from time to time.  We do not use such agreements for trading or speculative purposes nor do we have any that are not designated as cash flow hedges.  The agreements with each of our derivative counterparties provide that, in the event of default on any of our indebtedness, we could also be declared in default on our derivative obligations.  


As of December 31, 2016,2018, we were party to various cash flow derivative agreements with notional amounts totaling $474.3$391.2 million.  These derivative agreements effectively fix the interest rate underlying certain variable rate debt instruments over terms ranging from 2017expiration dates through 2021.2025.  Utilizing a weighted average interest rate spread over LIBOR on all variable rate debt resulted in fixing the weighted average interest rate at 3.16%3.69%.


In 2016, we entered into two interest rate swaps that effectively fixed the interest rate on $150 million of previously unhedged variable rate debt at 3.208%. The effective date of the swaps was June 30, 2016, and they will expire on July 1, 2021.
These interest rate derivative agreements are the only assets or liabilities that we record at fair value on a recurring basis.  The valuation of these assets and liabilities is determined using widely accepted techniques including discounted cash flow analysis.  These techniques consider the contractual terms of the derivatives (including the period to maturity) and use observable market-based inputs such as interest rate curves and implied volatilities.  We also incorporate credit valuation adjustments into the fair value measurements to reflect nonperformance risk on both our part and that of the respective counterparties.
 
  
We determined that the majority of the inputs used to value our derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, although the credit valuation adjustments associated with our derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by us and our counterparties.  As of December 31, 20162018 and December 31, 2015,2017, we assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of our derivative positions and determined the credit valuation adjustments were not significant to the overall valuation of our derivatives.  As a result, we determined our derivative valuations were classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.




As of December 31, 2016,2018, the estimated fair value of our interest rate derivatives wasrepresented a net liability of $2.2$3.5 million, including accrued interest receivable of $0.4$0.1 million.  As of December 31, 2016, $0.92018, $3.6 million is reflected in prepaid and other assets and $3.1$7.1 million is reflected in accounts payable and accrued expenses on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.  At December 31, 20152017 the estimated fair value of our interest rate derivatives was a net liabilityasset of $4.8$2.4 million, including accrued interest of $0.4$0.1 million.  As of December 31, 2015, $0.22017, $3.1 million is reflected in prepaid and other assets and $5.0$0.7 million is reflected in accounts payable and accrued expenses on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.
 
 
Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income related to derivatives will be reclassified to earnings over time as the hedged items are recognized in earnings.  DuringApproximately $0.8 million, $2.5 million and $4.8 million was reclassified as a reduction to earnings during the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, 2015 and 2014, $4.8 million, $5.6 million and $5.1 million, respectively, were reclassified as a reduction to earnings.respectively. As the interest payments on our derivatives are made over the next 12 months, we estimate the impactincrease to interest expense to be an increase of $2.3 million.  
$1.3 million, assuming the current LIBOR curve. 

Unrealized gains and losses on our interest rate derivative agreements are the only components of the change in accumulated other comprehensive loss.

Note 12.10. Shareholders’ Equity
 
Reverse Share Split
On August 11, 2014, we completed a reverse share split of our common shares at a ratio of one new common share for each four common shares then outstanding.  As a result of the reverse share split, the number of outstanding common shares was reduced from approximately 332.7 million shares to approximately 83.2 million shares.  The reverse share split had the same impact on the number of outstanding Common Units.


Common Equity
 
 
Our Board of Trustees declared a cash distribution of $0.3025$0.3175 per common share and Common Unit for the fourth quarter of 2016, which represents a 5.2% increase over our previous quarterly distribution.2018. This distribution was paid on January 13, 201711, 2019 to common shareholders and Common Unit holders of record as of January 6, 2017.4, 2019.

For the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, we declared cash distributions of $1.270, $1.225, and $1.165 respectively per common share and Common Units.

Accrued but unpaid distributions on common shares and units were $25.9$27.3 million and $23.7$27.2 million as of December 31, 20162018 and 2015,2017, respectively, and are included in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.  


Preferred Equity
On December 7, 2015, we redeemed all 4,100,000 of our outstanding 8.25% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Shares (the “Series A Preferred Shares”). The Series A Preferred Shares were redeemed at a total price of $25.0287 per share, which includes accrued and unpaid dividends or a total of $102.6 million. Prior to redemption the carrying value of these preferred shares, net of the original issuance costs, was reflected in Shareholders' Equity. In conjunction with the redemption, approximately $3.8 million of initial issuance costs were written off as a non-cash charge against income attributable to common shareholders. 


Dividend Reinvestment and Share Purchase Plan
 
 
We maintain a Dividend Reinvestment and Share Purchase Plan, which offers investors the option to invest all or a portion of their common share dividends in additional common shares.  Participants in this plan are also able to make optional cash investments with certain restrictions.




At-the-Market Equity Program


During 2016, we issued 137,229 of our common shares at an average price per share of $29.52 pursuant to our at-the-market equity program, generating gross proceeds of approximately $4.1 million and, after deducting commissions and other costs, net proceeds of approximately $3.8 million. The proceeds from these offerings were contributed to the Operating Partnership and used to pay down our unsecured revolving credit facility.
