EXPLANATORY NOTE

This report combines the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2019,2020, of Regency Centers Corporation and Regency Centers, L.P. Unless stated otherwise or the context otherwise requires, references to “Regency Centers Corporation” or the “Parent Company” mean Regency Centers Corporation and its controlled subsidiaries; and references to “Regency Centers, L.P.” or the “Operating Partnership” mean Regency Centers, L.P. and its controlled subsidiaries. The term “the Company”,"Regency "Regency Centers" or “Regency” means the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership, collectively.

The Parent Company is a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) and the general partner of the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership's capital includes general and limited common Partnership Units (“Units”). As of March 31, 2019,2020, the Parent Company owned approximately 99.8%99.6% of the Units in the Operating Partnership. The remaining limited Units are owned by investors. As the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, the Parent Company has exclusive control of the Operating Partnership's day-to-day management.

The Company believes combining the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q of the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership into this single report provides the following benefits:

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

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

Eliminates duplicative disclosure and provides a more streamlined and readable presentation; and

Eliminates duplicative disclosure and provides a more streamlined and readable presentation;

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

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

Management operates the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership as one business. The management of the Parent Company consists of the same individuals as the management of the Operating Partnership. These individuals are officers of the Parent Company and employees of the Operating Partnership.

The Company believes it is important to understand the key differences between the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership in the context of how the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership operate as a consolidated company. The Parent Company is a REIT, whose only material asset is its ownership of partnership interests of the Operating Partnership. As a result, the Parent Company does not conduct business itself, other than acting as the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, issuing public equity from time to time and guaranteeing certain debt of the Operating Partnership. Except for $500 million of unsecured public and private placement debt, the Parent Company does not hold any indebtedness, but guarantees all of the unsecured debt of the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership is also the co-issuer and guarantees the $500 million of debt of the Parent Company.Company debt. The Operating Partnership holds all the assets of the Company and retains the ownership interests in the Company's joint ventures. Except for net proceeds from public equity issuances by the Parent Company, which are contributed to the Operating Partnership in exchange for partnership units, the Operating Partnership generates all remaining capital required by the Company's business. These sources include the Operating Partnership's operations, its direct or indirect incurrence of indebtedness, and the issuance of partnership units.

Stockholders' equity, partners' capital, and noncontrolling interests are the main areas of difference between the consolidated financial statements of the Parent Company and those of the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership's capital includes general and limited common Partnership Units. The limited partners' units in the Operating Partnership owned by third parties are accounted for in partners' capital in the Operating Partnership's financial statements and outside of stockholders' equity in noncontrolling interests in the Parent Company's financial statements.

In order to highlight the differences between the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership, there are sections in this report that separately discuss the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership, including separate financial statements, controls and procedures sections, and separate Exhibit 31 and 32 certifications. In the sections that combine disclosure for the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership, this report refers to actions or holdings as being actions or holdings of the Company.

As 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 assets other than its investment in the Operating Partnership. Therefore, while stockholders' equity and partners' capital differ as discussed above, the assets and liabilities of the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership are the same on their respective financial statements.

Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

General

Regency Centers Corporation (the “Parent Company”) began its operations as a Real Estate Investment Trust (“REIT”) in 1993 and is the general partner of Regency Centers, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”). The Parent Company primarily engages in the ownership, management, leasing, acquisition, and development and redevelopment of shopping centers through the Operating Partnership, and has no other assets other than through its investment in the Operating Partnership, and its only liabilities are $500 million of unsecured public and private placement notes, which are co-issued and guaranteed by the Operating Partnership. The Parent Company guarantees all of the unsecured debt of the Operating Partnership.

As of March 31, 2019,2020, the Parent Company, the Operating Partnership, and their controlled subsidiaries on a consolidated basis owned 302301 properties and held partial interests in an additional 117115 properties through unconsolidated investmentsInvestments in real estate partnerships (also referred to as "joint ventures"“joint ventures” or "investment partnerships"“investment partnerships”).

COVID-19 Pandemic

On March 11, 2020, the novel coronavirus disease (“COVID-19”) was declared a pandemic (“COVID-19 pandemic”) by the World Health Organization as the disease spread throughout the world.  During March 2020, COVID-19 began to appear in and spread throughout the United States and active measures to prevent the spread of the virus were initiated, focused on social distancing practices.  The virus continued to spread among more populated cities and communities resulting in federal, state and local government agencies issuing regulatory orders enforcing social distancing and limiting group gatherings in order to further prevent the spread.   While laws vary by state, generally, businesses deemed essential to the public are able to operate while non-essential businesses are not.  Grocer tenants that anchor over 80% of our operating centers are considered essential businesses and the majority have remained open and operational to serve the residents of their communities.  Many restaurants are also considered essential, although the social distancing and group gathering limitations generally prevent in-store or dine-in activity, forcing some of these retailers to evaluate alternate means of providing essential goods and services to the public or, like nonessential tenants, to close during this pandemic.  The duration and severity of this pandemic are still uncertain and continue to evolve.  

The consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly state the results for the interim periods presented. These adjustments are considered to be of a normal recurring nature.

nature, except for the goodwill impairment, discussed in Note 4, resulting from the market and economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Consolidation

The Company consolidates properties that are wholly-owned and properties where it owns less than 100%, but which it has control over the activities most important to the overall success of the partnership. Control is determined using an evaluation based on accounting standards related to the consolidation of Variable Interest Entities ("VIEs") and voting interest entities.

Ownership of the Operating Partnership

The Operating Partnership’s capital includes general and limited common Partnership Units. As of March 31, 2019,2020, the Parent Company owned approximately 99.8%99.6% of the outstanding common Partnership Units of the Operating Partnership, with the remaining limited common Partnership Units held by third parties (“Exchangeable operating partnership units” or “EOP units”). TheEach EOP units areunit is exchangeable for cash or one share of common stock of the Parent Company, at the discretion of the Parent Company, and the unit holder cannot require redemption in cash or other assets.  The Parent Company has evaluated the conditions as specified under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity as it relates to exchangeable operating partnership units outstanding and concluded that it has the right to satisfy the redemption requirements of the units by delivering unregistered common stock.  Accordingly, the Parent Company classifies EOP units as permanent equity in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets and Consolidated Statements of Equity and Comprehensive Income. The Parent Company serves as general partner of the Operating Partnership. The EOP unit holders have limited rights over the Operating Partnership such that they do not have the power to direct the activities of the Operating Partnership. As such, the Operating Partnership is considered a VIE, and the Parent Company, which consolidates it, is the primary beneficiary. The Parent Company’s only investment is the Operating Partnership. Net income and distributions of the Operating Partnership are allocable to the general and limited common Partnership Units in accordance with their ownership percentages.

Real Estate Partnerships

As of March 31, 2019,2020, Regency had a partial ownership interest in 129126 properties through partnerships, of which 1211 are consolidated. Regency's partners include institutional investors and other real estate developers and/or operators and individual parties who had a role in Regency sourcing transactions for development and investment (the "Partners"“Partners” or "limited partners"“limited partners”). Regency has a variable interest in these entities through its equity interests, with Regency the primary beneficiary in certain of these real estate partnerships. As such, Regency consolidates the partnerships for which it is the primary beneficiary and reports the limited partners’ interests as noncontrollingNoncontrolling interests. For those partnerships which Regency is not the primary beneficiary and does not control, but has significant influence, Regency recognizes its investment in them using the equity method of accounting.

The assets of these partnerships are restricted to the use of the partnerships and cannot be used by general creditors of the Company. And similarly, the obligations of the partnerships can only be settled by the assets of these partnerships.

Leases
Lease Income and Tenant Receivables
The Company leases space to tenants under agreements with varying terms that generally provide for fixed payments of base rent, with designated increases over the term of the lease. Some of the lease agreements contain provisions that provide for additional rents based on tenants' sales volume ("percentage rent"). Percentage rents are recognized when the tenants achieve the specified targets as defined in their lease agreements. Additionally, most all lease agreements contain provisions for reimbursement of the tenants' share of actual real estate taxes, insurance and common area maintenance (“CAM”) costs (collectively "Recoverable Costs") incurred.
Lease terms generally range from three to seven years for tenant space under 10,000 square feet (“Shop Space”) and in excess of five years for spaces greater than 10,000 square feet (“Anchor Tenants”). Many leases also provide the option for the tenants to extend their lease beyond the initial term of the lease. If the tenants do not exercise renewal options and the leases mature, the tenants must relinquish their space so it can be leased to a new tenant, which generally involves some level of cost to prepare the space for re-leasing. These costs are capitalized and depreciated over the shorter of the life of the subsequent lease or the life of the improvement.
On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted the new accounting guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 842, Leases, including all related Accounting Standard Updates (“ASU”). The Company elected to use the alternative modified retrospective transition method provided in ASU 2018-11 (the "effective date method"). Under this method, the effective date of January 1, 2019 is the date of initial application. In connection with the adoption of Topic 842, the Company elected a package of practical expedients, transition options, and accounting policy elections as follows:
Package of practical expedients - applied to all leases, allowing the Company not to reassess (i) whether expired or existing contracts contain leases under the new definition of a lease, (ii) lease classification for expired or existing leases, and (iii) whether previously capitalized initial direct costs would qualify for capitalization under Topic 842;
For land easements, the Company elected not to assess at transition whether any expired or existing land easements are, or contain, leases if they were not previously accounted for as leases under the previous lease accounting standard ("Topic 840");
Lessor separation and allocation practical expedient - Regency elected, as lessor, to aggregate non-lease components with the related lease component if certain conditions are met, and account for the combined component based on its predominant characteristic, which generally results in combining lease and non-lease components of its tenant lease contracts to a single line shown as Lease income in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations; and
The Company made an accounting policy election to continue to exclude, from contract consideration, sales tax (and similar taxes) collected from lessees.
The Company's existing leases were not re-evaluated and continue to be classified as operating leases, as per the practical expedient package elected above. New and modified leases will now require evaluation of

14



REGENCY CENTERS CORPORATION AND REGENCY CENTERS, L.P.
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2019

specific classification criteria, which, based on the customary terms of the Company's leases, should continue to be classified as operating leases. However, certain longer-term leases (both lessee and lessor leases) may be classified as direct financing or sales type leases, which may result in selling profit and an accelerated pattern of earnings recognition.
CAM is a non-lease component of the lease contract under Topic 842, and therefore would be accounted for under Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and presented separate from Lease income in the Statements of Operations, based on an allocation of the overall contract price, which is not necessarily the amount that would be billable to the tenants for CAM reimbursements per the terms of the lease contract. As the timing and pattern of providing the CAM service to the tenant is the same as the timing and pattern of the tenants' use of the underlying lease asset, the Company elected, as part of the package of practical expedients, to combine CAM with the remaining lease components, along with tenants' reimbursement of real estate taxes and insurance, and recognize them together as Lease income in the accompanying Statements of Operations.
Lease income for operating leases with fixed payment terms is recognized on a straight-line basis over the expected term of the lease for all leases for which collectibility is considered probable at the commencement date. At lease commencement, the Company expects that collectibility is probable for all of its leases due to the Company’s credit checks on tenants and other creditworthiness analysis undertaken before entering into a new lease; therefore, income from all operating leases is initially recognized on a straight-line basis. Lease income each period is reduced by amounts considered uncollectible on a lease-by-lease basis, with any changes in collectibility assessments recognized as a current period adjustment to Lease income. For operating leases in which collectibility of Lease income is not considered probable, Lease income is recognized on a cash basis and all previously recognized uncollectible Lease income is reversed in the period in which the Lease income is determined not to be probable of collection.
Topic 842 also changes the treatment of leasing costs, such that non-contingent internal leasing and legal costs associated with leasing activities can no longer be capitalized. The Company, as a lessor, may only defer as initial direct costs the incremental costs of a tenant operating lease that would not have been incurred if the lease had not been obtained. These costs generally include third party broker payments, which are capitalized to Deferred leasing costs in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets and amortized over the expected term of the lease to Depreciation and amortization expense in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Lease Obligations
The Company has 22 properties within its consolidated real estate portfolio that are either partially or completely on land subject to ground leases with third parties, which are all classified as operating leases. Accordingly, the Company owns only a long-term leasehold or similar interest in these properties. The building and improvements constructed on the leased land are capitalized as Real estate assets in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets and depreciated over the shorter of the useful life of the improvements or the lease term. These ground leases expire through the year 2101, and in most cases, provide for renewal options.
In addition, the Company has non-cancelable operating leases pertaining to office space from which it conducts its business. Office leases expire through the year 2029, and in most cases, provide for renewal options. Leasehold improvements are capitalized as tenant improvements, included in Other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, and depreciated over the shorter of the useful life of the improvements or the lease term.
Upon the adoption of Topic 842 the Company has recognized Lease liabilities on its Consolidated Balance Sheets for its ground and office leases of $225.4 million at January 1, 2019, and corresponding Right of use assets of $297.8 million, net of or including the opening balance for straight line rent and above / below market ground lease intangibles related to these same ground and office leases. A key input in estimating the Lease liabilities and resulting Right of use assets is establishing the discount rate in the lease, which requires additional inputs for the longer-term ground leases, including interest rates that correspond with the remaining term of the lease, the Company's credit spread, and a securitization adjustment necessary to reflect the collateralized payment terms present in the lease. See Note 7, Leases, for additional disclosures.
The ground and office lease expenses continue to be recognized on a straight line basis over the term of the leases, including management's estimate of expected option renewal periods. For ground leases, the

Revenues and Other Receivables

Other property income includes incidental income from the properties and is generally recognized at the point in time that the performance obligation is met. All income from contracts with the Company's real estate partnerships is included within Management, transaction and other fees on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

As the Company identifies properties ("(“reporting units"units”) that no longer meet its investment criteria, it will evaluate the property for potential sale. A decision to sell a reporting unit results in the need to evaluate its goodwill for recoverability and may result in impairment. Additionally, other changes impacting a reporting unit may be considered a triggering event.  If events occur that trigger an impairment evaluation at multiple reporting units, a goodwill impairment may be significant.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

During the three months ended March 31, 2019


5.    Notes Payable2020, the Company recognized $132.2 million of Goodwill impairment.  The market disruptions related to the significant economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic triggered evaluation of reporting unit fair values for goodwill impairment. The Company’s reporting units are at the individual property level. The carrying value of long lived assets of the reporting units were first tested for recoverability with no resulting impairments.  Next, the fair value of each reporting unit was compared to its carrying value, including goodwill.  Of the 269 reporting units with goodwill, 87 of those were determined to have fair values lower than carrying value.  As such, goodwill impairment losses totaling $132.2 million were recognized for the amount that the carrying amount of the reporting unit, including goodwill, exceeded its fair value, limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit.  Fair values of the reporting units were determined using a discounted cash flow approach, including current market cash flow assumptions for impacts to existing tenant contractual rent as well as prospective future rent and occupancy changes and related capital and operating expenditures.  The cap rates and discount rates used in the analysis reflect management’s best estimate of market rates adjusted for the current environment.

Derivative Financial Instruments


6.    Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company may use derivative financial instruments, including interest rate swaps, caps, options, floors, and other interest rate derivative contracts, to hedge all or a portion of the interest rate risk associated with its borrowings. The principal objective of such arrangements is to minimize the risks and/or costs associated with the Company’s operating and financial structure as well as to hedge specific anticipated transactions. The Company does not intend to utilize derivatives for speculative or other purposes other than interest rate risk management. The use of derivative financial instruments carries certain risks, including the risk that the counterparties to these contractual arrangements are not able to perform under the agreements. To mitigate this risk, the Company only enters into derivative financial instruments with counterparties with high credit ratings and with major financial institutions with which the Company and its affiliates may also have other financial relationships. The Company does not anticipate that any of the counterparties will fail to meet their obligations.

The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount.

These derivative financial instruments are all interest rate swaps, which are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges. The Company does not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes and, as of March 31, 2019,2020, does not have any derivatives that are not designated as hedges. The Company has master netting agreements; however, the Company does not have multiple derivatives subject to a single master netting agreement with the same counterparties. Therefore, none are offset in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and qualifying as cash flow hedges is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) ("AOCI"Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss (“AOCI”) and subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings.

7.    Leases

Lessor Accounting

All of the Company’s leases are classified as operating leases.  The Company's Lease income is comprised of both fixed and variable income, as follows:

Fixed and in-substance fixed lease income includes stated amounts per the lease contract, which are primarily related to base rent, and in some cases stated amounts for CAM,common area maintenance (“CAM”), real estate taxes, and insurance. Income for these amounts is recognized on a straightstraight- line basis.

Variable lease income includes the following two main items in the lease contracts:

(i) Recoveries from tenants represents amounts which tenants are contractually obligated to reimburse the Company for the tenants’ portion of actual Recoverable Costs incurred. Generally the Company’s leases provide for the tenants to reimburse the Company based on the tenants’ share of the actual costs incurred in proportion to the tenants’ share of leased space in the property.

(ii) Percentage rent represents amounts billable to tenants based on the tenants' actual sales volume in excess of levels specified in the lease contract.

The following table provides a disaggregation of lease income recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2019, under ASC Topic 842Leases, as either fixed or variable lease income based on the criteria specified in ASC 842:

Lessee Accounting
The Company has shopping centers that are subject to non-cancelable, long-term ground leases where a third party owns the underlying land and has leased the land to the Company to construct and/or operate a shopping center.
The Company has 22 properties within its consolidated real estate portfolio that are either partially or completely on land subject to ground2020

Lease income for operating leases with third parties. Accordingly, the Company owns only a long-term leasehold or similar interest in these properties. These ground leases expire through the year 2101, and in most cases, provide for renewal options. Buildings and improvements constructed on the leased land are capitalized as Real estate assets in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets and depreciated over the shorter of the useful life of the improvements or the lease term.

In addition, the Company has non-cancelable operating leases pertaining to office space from which it conducts its business. Office leases expire through the year 2029, and in most cases, provide for renewal options. Leasehold improvements are capitalized as tenant improvements, included in Other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, and depreciated over the shorter of the useful life of the improvements or the lease term.
The ground and office lease expense continues to befixed payment terms is recognized on a straight linestraight-line basis over the expected term of the lease for all leases including management's estimatefor which collectibility is considered probable at the commencement date.  At lease commencement, the Company generally expects that collectibility is probable due to the Company’s credit checks on tenants and other creditworthiness analysis undertaken before entering into a new lease; therefore, income from most operating leases is initially recognized on a straight-line basis.  For operating leases in which collectibility of Lease income is not considered probable, Lease income is recognized on a cash basis and all previously recognized straight-line rent receivables are reversed in the period in which the Lease income is determined not to be probable of collection.  In addition to the lease-specific collectability assessment performed under Topic 842, the Company also recognizes a general reserve, as a reduction to Lease income, for its portfolio of operating lease receivables which are not expected option renewal periods. Operating lease expense underto be fully collectible based on the Company's ground and office leases was as follows, including straight lined rent expense and variable lease expenses such as CPI increases, performance based rent and reimbursements of landlord costs:

During the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively,2020, the Company experienced a higher rate of uncollectible lease income driven by changes in expectations of collectibility for certain tenants given the expected impact of the COVID-19 pandemic to our tenants.

Additionally, certain tenants experiencing economic difficulties during this pandemic may seek future rent relief, which includes fixed and variablemay be provided in the form of rent expense.

The above fair values represent management's estimate of the amounts that would be received from selling those assets or that would be paid to transfer those liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants as of March 31, 20192020 and December 31, 2018,2019, respectively. These fair value measurements maximize the use of observable inputs. However, in situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date, the fair value measurement reflects the Company's own judgments about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

The Company develops its judgments based on the best information available at the measurement date, including expected cash flows, appropriate risk-adjusted discount rates, and available observable and unobservable inputs. Service providers involved in fair value measurements are evaluated for competency and qualifications on an ongoing basis. As considerable judgment is often necessary to estimate the fair value of these financial instruments, the fair values presented above are not necessarily indicative of amounts that will be realized upon disposition of the financial instruments.

(b) Fair Value Measurements

The following financial instruments are measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

Securities

The Company has investments in marketable securities that are included within otherOther assets on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair value of the securities was determined using quoted prices in active markets, which are considered Level 1 inputs of the fair value hierarchy. Changes in the value of securities are recorded within Net investment loss (income) loss in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations, and include unrealized gains of $2.2 million and unrealized losses of $384,000,$5.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 20192020 and 2018, respectively.

unrealized gains of $2.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019.

REGENCY CENTERS CORPORATION AND REGENCY CENTERS, L.P.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2020

Available-for-Sale Debt Securities

Available-for-sale debt securities consist of investments in certificates of deposit and corporate bonds, and are recorded at fair value using matrix pricing methods to estimate fair value, which are considered Level 2 inputs of the fair value hierarchy. Unrealized gains or losses on these debt securities are recognized through other comprehensive income.

Interest Rate Derivatives

The fair value of the Company's interest rate derivatives is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities. The Company incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both its own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty's nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements.

Although the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with its derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads, to evaluate the likelihood of default by the Company and its counterparties. The Company has assessed the significance of the impact of the credit

valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions and has determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of its interest rate swaps. As a result, the Company determined that its interest rate swaps valuation in its entirety is classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

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

Environmental

The Company is also subject to numerous environmental laws and regulations as they apply to real estate pertaining primarily to chemicals historically used by thecertain current and former dry cleaning industry,tenants, the existence of asbestos in older shopping centers, and older underground petroleum storage tanks. The Company believes that the ultimate disposition of currently known environmental matters will not have a material effect on its financial position, liquidity, or operations. The Company can give no assurance that existing environmental studies with respect to the shopping centers have revealed all potential environmental contaminants, orthat our estimate of liabilities will not change as more information becomes available, that any previous owner, occupant or tenant did not

create any material environmental condition not known to it,the Company, that the current environmental condition of the shopping centers will not be affected by tenants and occupants, by the condition of nearby properties, or by unrelated third parties, or that changes in applicable environmental laws and regulations or their interpretation will not result in additional environmental liability to the Company.

Letters of Credit

The Company has the right to issue letters of credit under the Line up to an amount not to exceed $50.0 million, which reduces the credit availability under the Line. These letters of credit are primarily issued as collateral on behalf of its captive insurance program and to facilitate the construction of development projects. As of March 31, 20192020 and December 31, 2018,2019, the Company had $12.6$9.7 million and $9.4$12.5 million, respectively, in letters of credit outstanding.

Purchase Commitments
The Company enters into purchase and sale agreements to buy or sell real estate assets in the normal course of business, which generally provide limited recourse if either party ends the contract. At March 31, 2019, the Company has an option to purchase up to an additional 81.63% ownership interest in an operating shopping center by December 2019 and currently expects to acquire an additional 16.63% interest by that date for approximately $16.7 million.

Risk Factors Related to reflect events or uncertainties after the date hereofCOVID-19 Pandemic

Pandemics or other health crises may adversely affect our tenants’ financial condition, the profitability of our properties, our access to the capital markets and could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.

Risk Factors Related to reflect the occurrence of uncertain events.Retail Industry

Economic and market conditions may adversely affect the retail industry and consequently reduce our revenues and cash flow, and increase our operating expenses.

Shifts in retail sales and delivery methods between brick and mortar stores, e-commerce, home delivery, and curbside pick-up may adversely impact our revenues and cash flows.

Changing economic and detail market conditions in geographic areas where our properties are concentrated may reduce our revenues and cash flow.

Our success depends on the success and continued presence of our “anchor” tenants.

A significant percentage of our revenues are derived from smaller “shop space” tenants and our net income may be adversely impacted if our smaller shop tenants are not successful.

We may be unable to collect balances due from tenants in bankruptcy.

Risk Factors Related to Real Estate Investments and Operations

We are subject to numerous laws and regulations that may adversely affect our operations or expose us to liability.

Our real estate assets may decline in value and be subject to impairment losses which may reduce our net income.

We face risks associated with development, redevelopment and expansion of properties.

We face risks associated with the development of mixed-use commercial properties.

We face risks associated with the acquisition of properties.

We face risks if we expand into new markets.

We may be unable to sell properties when desired because of market conditions.

Certain of the properties in our portfolio are subject to ground leases; if we are unable to renew a ground lease, purchase the fee simple interest, or are found to be in breach of a ground lease, we may be adversely affected.

Climate change may adversely impact our properties directly and may lead to additional compliance obligations and costs as well as additional taxes and fees.

Geographic concentration of our properties makes our business more vulnerable to natural disasters, severe weather conditions and climate change.

An uninsured loss or a loss that exceeds the insurance coverage on our properties may subject us to loss of capital and revenue on those properties

Loss of our key personnel may adversely affect our business and operations.

We face competition from numerous sources, including other REITs and other real estate owners.

Costs of environmental remediation may reduce our cash flow available for distribution to stock and unit holders.

Risk Factors Related to Our Partnership and Joint Ventures

We do not have voting control over all of the properties owned in our co-investment partnerships and joint ventures, so we are unable to ensure that our objectives will be pursued.

Defined Terms

The termination of our partnerships may adversely affect our cash flow, operating results, and our ability to make distributions to stock and unit holders.

Risk Factors Related to Funding Strategies and Capital Structure

Our ability to sell properties and fund acquisitions and developments may be adversely impacted by higher market capitalization rates and lower NOI at our properties which may dilute earnings.

We may acquire properties or portfolios of properties through tax-deferred contribution transactions, which may result in stockholder dilution and limit our ability to sell such assets.

We depend on external sources of capital, which may not be available in the future on favorable terms or at all.

Our debt financing may adversely affect our business and financial condition.

Covenants in our debt agreements may restrict our operating activities and adversely affect our financial condition.

Increases in interest rates would cause our borrowing costs to rise and negatively impact our results of operations.

Hedging activity may expose us to risks, including the risks that a counterparty will not perform and that the hedge will not perform and that the hedge will not yield the economic benefits we anticipate, which may adversely affect us.

The interest rates on our Unsecured Credit facilities as well as on our variable rate mortgages and interest rate swaps might change based on changes to the method in which LIBOR or its replacement rate is determined.

Risk Factors Related to our Company and the Market Price for Our Securities

Changes in economic and market conditions may adversely affect the market price of our securities.

There is no assurance that we will continue to pay dividends at historical rates.

Enhanced focus on corporate responsibility and sustainability, specifically related to environmental, social and governance matters, may impose additional costs and expose us to new risks.

Risk Factors Related to Laws and Regulations

If the Parent Company fails to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, it would be subject to federal income tax at regular corporate rates.

Recent changes to the U.S. tax laws may have a significant negative impact on the overall economy, our tenants, our investors, and our business.

Dividends paid by REITs generally do not qualify for reduced tax rates.

Certain foreign stockholders may be subject to U.S. federal income tax on gain recognized on a disposition of our common stock if we do not qualify as a “domestically controlled” REIT.

Legislative or other actions affecting REITs may have a negative effect on us.

Complying with REIT requirements may limit our ability to hedge effectively and may cause us to incur tax liabilities.

Restrictions on the ownership of the Parent Company's capital stock to preserve its REIT status may delay or prevent a change in control.

The issuance of the Parent Company's capital stock may delay or prevent a change in control.


Non-GAAP Measures

In addition to the required Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"(“GAAP”) presentations, we use certain non-GAAP performance measures as we believe these measures improve the understanding of the Company's operational results. We believe these non-GAAP measures provide useful information to our Board of Directors, management and investors regarding certain trends relating to our financial condition and results of operations. Our management uses these non-GAAP measures to compare our performance to that of prior periods for trend analyses, purposes of determining management incentive compensation and budgeting, forecasting and planning purposes.  We continually evaluate the usefulness, relevance, limitations, and calculation of our reported non-GAAP performance measures to determine how best to provide relevant information to the public, and thus such reported measures could change.

We do not consider non-GAAP measures an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitation of these non-GAAP financial measures is they may exclude significant expense and income items that are required by GAAP to be recognized in our consolidated financial statements. In addition, they reflect the exercise of management’s judgment about which expense and income items are excluded or included in determining these non-GAAP financial measures. In order to compensate for these limitations, reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures we use to their most directly comparable GAAP measures are provided. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be relied upon in evaluating the financial condition, results of operations or future prospects of the Company.

The following terms, as defined, are commonly used by management and the investing public to understand and evaluate our operational results:

Development Completion is a property in development that is deemed complete upon the earliest of: (i) 90% of total estimated net development costs have been incurred and percent leased equals or exceeds 95%, or (ii) the property features at least two years of anchor operations, or (iii) three years have passed since the start of construction. Once deemed complete, the property is termed a Retail Operating Property the following calendar year.

Development Completion is a property in development that is deemed complete upon the earliest of: (i) 90% of total estimated net development costs have been incurred and percent leased equals or exceeds 95%, or (ii) the property features at least two years of anchor operations, or (iii) three years have passed since the start of construction. Once deemed complete, the property is termed a Retail Operating Property the following calendar year.

Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is defined as Operating EBITDAre divided by the sum of the gross interest and scheduled mortgage principal paid to our lenders.

Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is defined as Operating EBITDAre divided by the sum of the gross interest and scheduled mortgage principal paid to our lenders plus dividends paid to our preferred stockholders.

NAREIT EBITDAre is a measure of REIT performance, which the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) defines as net income, computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding (i) interest expense, (ii) income tax expense, (iii) depreciation and amortization, (iv) gains on sales of real estate, (v) impairments of real estate, and (vi) adjustments to reflect the Company's share of unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.

NAREIT EBITDAre is a measure of REIT performance, which the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") defines as net income, computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding (i) interest expense, (ii) income tax expense, (iii) depreciation and amortization, (iv) gains on sales and impairments of real estate, and (v) adjustments to reflect the Company's share of unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.

NAREIT Funds from Operations (“NAREIT FFO”) is a commonly used measure of REIT performance, which NAREIT defines as net income, computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains on sales and impairments of real estate, net of tax, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. We compute NAREIT FFO for all periods presented in accordance with NAREIT's definition.

NAREIT Funds from Operations ("NAREIT FFO") is a commonly used measure of REIT performance, which NAREIT defines as net income, computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains on sales and impairments of real estate, net of tax, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. We compute NAREIT FFO for all periods presented in accordance with NAREIT's definition in effect during that period. Effective January 1, 2019, we prospectively adopted the NAREIT FFO White Paper - 2018 Restatement ("2018 FFO White Paper"), and elected the option of excluding gains on sale and impairments of land, which are considered incidental to our main business. Prior period amounts were not restated to conform to the current year presentation, and therefore are calculated as described above, and also include gains on sale and impairments of land.
Many companies

Companies use different depreciable lives and methods, and real estate values historically fluctuate with market conditions. Since NAREIT FFO excludes depreciation and amortization and gains on sale and impairments of real estate, it provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, reflects the impact on operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, acquisition and development activities, and financing costs. This provides a perspective of our financial performance not immediately apparent from net income determined in accordance with GAAP. Thus, NAREIT FFO is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure of our operating performance, which does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP; and,


33





therefore, should not be considered a substitute measure of cash flows from operations. The Company providesWe provide a reconciliation of Net Income Attributable to Common Stockholders to NAREIT FFO.

Net Operating Income (“NOI”) is the sum of base rent, percentage rent, recoveries from tenants, other lease income, and other property income, less operating and maintenance expenses, real estate taxes, ground rent, and uncollectible lease income. NOI excludes straight-line rental income and expense, above and below market rent and ground rent amortization, tenant lease inducement amortization, and other fees. We also provide disclosure of NOI excluding termination fees, which excludes both termination fee income and expenses.

A Non-Same Property is any property, during either calendar year period being compared, that was acquired, sold, a Property in Development, a Development Completion, or a property under, or being positioned for, significant redevelopment that distorts comparability between periods.  Non-retail properties and corporate activities, including the captive insurance program, are part of Non-Same Property.

Net Operating Income ("NOI") is the sum of base rent, percentage

Operating EBITDAre begins with NAREIT EBITDAre and excludes certain non-cash components of earnings derived from above and below market rent amortization and straight-line rents.  We provide a reconciliation of Net income to NAREIT EBITDAre to Operating EBITDAre.


Pro-Rata information includes 100% of our consolidated properties plus our economic share (based on our ownership interest) in our unconsolidated real estate investment partnerships.

We provide Pro-rata financial information because we believe it assists investors and recoveries from tenantsanalysts in estimating our economic interest in our consolidated and other leasing and property income, less operating and maintenance expenses, real estate taxes, ground rent, and uncollectible lease income / provision for doubtful accounts. NOI excludes straight-line rental income and expense, above and below market rent and ground rent amortization, tenant lease inducement amortization, and other fees. The Company also provides disclosure of NOI excluding termination fees, which excludes both termination fee income and expenses.

A Non-Same Property is a property acquired, sold, or a Development Completion during either calendar year period being compared. Non-retail properties and corporate activities, including the captive insurance program, are part of Non-Same Property.
Operating EBITDAre (previously Adjusted EBITDA) beginsunconsolidated partnerships, when read in conjunction with the NAREIT EBITDAre and excludes certain non-cash components of earnings derived from above and below market rent amortization and straight-line rents.
Pro-Rata information includes 100% of our consolidated properties plus our economic share (based on our ownership interest) in our unconsolidated real estate investment partnerships.
Company’s reported results under GAAP.  We manage our entire real estate portfolio without regard to ownership structure, although certain decisions impacting properties owned through partnerships require partner approval. Therefore, we believe presenting our pro-rataPro-rata share of assets, liabilities, operating results, and certain operating metrics, along with other non-GAAPnon GAAP measures, makes comparisons of other REITs' operating results to the Company'sours more meaningful.
The pro-rataPro-rata information provided is not, nor is it intended to be, presented in accordance with GAAP.  The Pro-rata supplemental details of assets and liabilities and supplemental details of operations reflect our proportionate economic ownership of the assets, liabilities, and operating results of the properties in our portfolio.

The Pro-rata information is prepared on a basis consistent with the comparable consolidated amounts and is intended to more accurately reflect our proportionate economic interest in the assets, liabilities, and operating results of properties in our portfolio. We do not control the unconsolidated investment partnerships, and the pro-rataPro-rata presentations of the assets and liabilities, and revenues and expenses do not represent our legal claim to such items. The partners are entitled to profit or loss allocations and distributions of cash flows according to the operating agreements, which generally provide for such allocations according to their invested capital. Our share of invested capital establishes the ownership interests we use to prepare our pro-rataPro-rata share.

The presentation of pro-rataPro-rata information has limitations which include, but are not limited to, the following:

o

The amounts shown on the individual line items were derived by applying our overall economic ownership interest percentage determined when applying the equity method of accounting or allocating noncontrolling interests, and do not necessarily represent our legal claim to the assets and liabilities, or the revenues and expenses; and

The amounts shown on the individual line items were derived by applying our overall economic ownership interest percentage determined when applying the equity method of accounting or allocating noncontrolling interests, and do not necessarily represent our legal claim to the assets and liabilities, or the revenues and expenses; and

o

Other companies in our industry may calculate their pro-rata interest differently, limiting the comparability of pro-rata information.

Because of these limitations, the pro-rataPro-rata financial information should not be considered independently or as a substitute for our financial statements as reported under GAAP. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP financial statements, using the pro-rataPro-rata information as a supplement.

Property In Development includes properties in various stages of ground-up development.

Property In Development includes properties in various stages of development and redevelopment including active pre-development activities.

Property In Redevelopment includes Retail Operating Properties under redevelopment or being positioned for redevelopment.  Unless otherwise indicated, a Property in Redevelopment is included in the Same Property pool.

A Retail Operating Property is any retail property not termed a Property in Development. A retail property is any property where the majority of the income is generated from retail uses.

Overview of Our Strategy

Regency Centers Corporation began its operations as a publicly-traded REIT in 1993, and as of March 31, 2019,2020, had full or partial ownership interests in 419416 retail properties primarily anchored by market leading grocery stores. Our properties are principally located in affluent and infill trade areas of the United States, and contain 52.652.2 million square feet ("SF"(“SF”) of gross leasable area ("GLA"(“GLA”). All of our operating, investing, and financing activities are performed through our Operating Partnership, Regency Centers, L.P., our wholly-owned subsidiaries, and through our co-investment partnerships.

As of March 31, 2019,2020, the Parent Company owns approximately 99.8%99.6% of the outstanding common partnership units of the Operating Partnership.

Our mission is to be the preeminent national owner, operator, and developer of shopping centers, connectingcreating places that provide a thriving environment for outstanding retailers and service providers to connect with the surrounding neighborhoods and communities.

Our goals are to:


Own and manage a portfolio of high-quality neighborhood and community shopping centers anchored by market leading grocers and located in affluent suburban and near urban trade areas in the country’s most desirable metro areas. We expect that this combination will produce highly desirable and attractive centers with best-in-class retailers. These centers should command higher rental and occupancy rates resulting in excellent prospects to grow NOI;

Maintain an industry leading and disciplined development and redevelopment platform to deliver exceptional retail centers at higher returns as compared to acquisitions;

Support our business activities with a conservative capital structure, including a strong balance sheet;

Attain best-in-class environmental, social, and governance practices;

Engage an exceptional and diverse team that is guided by our strong values and special culture, while fostering an environment of innovation and continuous improvement; and

Increase earnings per share and dividends and generate total returns at or near the top of our shopping center peers.

COVID-19 Pandemic

On March 11, 2020, a novel coronavirus disease (“COVID-19”) was declared a pandemic (“COVID-19 pandemic”) by the World Health Organization as the disease spread throughout the world.  During March 2020, COVID-19 began to appear in and spread throughout the United States and active measures to prevent the spread of the virus were initiated, focused on social distancing practices.  We have long had a business continuity and disaster recovery plan which has been successfully implemented in the country’s most desirable metro areas.past in response to hurricanes.  Our prior investments in our business continuity and disaster recovery plan are allowing us to continue operating during the COVID-19 pandemic as our employees practice social distancing by working safely from home, as their roles permit. We have been and expect that this combinationto continue to be able to maintain our financial reporting systems as well as our internal control environment over our financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures.  We will produce highly desirablemake necessary adjustment to our plans as circumstances evolve.  Additionally, we will be following CDC guidelines and attractive centers with best-in-class retailers. These centers should command higher rentalconsidering best practices as we develop and occupancy ratesimplement our plans for reopening our offices to reasonably protect our people.  

During March 2020, the virus continued to spread among more populated cities and communities in the United States resulting in excellent prospectsfederal, state and local government agencies issuing regulatory orders enforcing social distancing and limiting group gatherings in order to growfurther prevent the spread.   While laws vary by state, generally, businesses deemed essential to the public are able to operate while non-essential businesses are not.  Grocer tenants that anchor over 80% of our operating centers are considered essential businesses and the majority have remained open and operational to serve the residents of their communities.  Many restaurants are also considered essential, although the social distancing and group gathering limitations generally prevent in-store or dine-in activity, forcing some of these retailers to evaluate alternate means of providing essential goods and services to the public or, like nonessential tenants, to close during this pandemic.  

Our financial results for the period ending March 31, 2020 have been significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic resulting in a Net Loss attributable to common stockholders, including a Goodwill impairment charge, and reductions in our non-GAAP performance measures, from changes in expected collectibility of Lease income.  On March 30, 2020, we withdrew our fiscal 2020 guidance previously provided on February 12, 2020, and during March, further strengthened our liquidity position through the settlement of our 2019 forward equity sales under our ATM program at a weighted average sales price of $67.99 per share generating $125.8 million in net operating income ("NOI");

The duration and severity of the health crisis in the United States and the speed at which the country, states and localities are guided by Regency’s strong valuesable to safely re-open will significantly impact the overall economy, our retail tenants, and special culture, which are aligned with shareholder interests.

See also Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors for further discussion.  

Executing on our Strategy

During the three months ended March 31, 2019:

2020:

We had Net (loss) income attributable to common stockholders of $90.4$(25.3) million, including a $132.1 million Goodwill impairment charge, as compared to $52.7$90.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2018.

We sustained2020 and 2019, respectively.

Our same property NOI growth:NOI:

Our pro-rata same property NOI, excluding termination fees, declined 0.7%, primarily attributable to uncollectible Lease income in this current COVID-19 pandemic environment.

We achieved pro-rata same property NOI growth, excluding termination fees, of 2.9%.

We executed 373 new and renewal leasing transactions representing 1.4 million pro-rata SF, with trailing twelve month rent spreads of 7.4% on comparable retail operating property spaces.

We executed 289 leasing transactions representing 1.0 million pro-rata SF of new and renewal leasing, with trailing twelve month rent spreads of 8.4% on comparable retail operating property spaces.

At March 31, 2020, our total property portfolio was 94.5% leased, while our same property portfolio was 95.0% leased.

At March 31, 2019, our total property portfolio was 94.6% leased, while our same property portfolio was 95.0% leased.

We continued our development and redevelopment of high quality shopping centers at attractive returns on investment:

We started one redevelopment and completed four redevelopments.  

We started two new redevelopments representing a total pro-rata project investment of $13.5 million upon completion, with a weighted average projected return on investment of 6.4%.

Including these projects, a total of 19 properties were in process of development or redevelopment.  

Including the two new redevelopment projects, a total of 21 properties were in the process of development or redevelopment, representing a pro-rata investment upon completion of $403.3 million.

Due to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, in-process projects in certain markets have stopped or have slowed significantly due to municipal orders requiring persons not engaged in essential business to remain at home or due to health concerns and labor limitations.  We are continuing to assess the impact of these delays to our in-process projects as well as the feasibility of our pipeline projects and non-essential capital expenditures in order to prioritize cash flow, increase liquidity, and preserve financial flexibility.  

We maintained a conservative balance sheet providing liquidity and financial flexibility to respond to these uncertain economic times and to cost effectively fund investment opportunities and debt maturities:

During March, we settled our forward equity sales under our ATM program that we entered into during 2019 by delivering 1,894,845 shares of common stock and receiving $125.8 million in net proceeds.  We expect to use these proceeds for working capital and general corporate purposes.

On March 6, 2019, the Company issued $300 million of 4.65% senior unsecured public notes, which mature in March 2049, using the proceeds to repay $39.5 million of mortgage debt with an interest rate of 7.3% and to repay $250 million of 4.8% senior unsecured notes due April 2021. This offering further enhanced our financial flexibility and increased the duration of our average maturities to over 10 years while maintaining our weighted average interest rate.

We drew an additional $500 million on our Line to further strengthen our financial position and balance sheet, to enhance our financial liquidity, and to provide financial flexibility to continue our business initiatives amid the evolving effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.

At March 31, 2019, our annualized net debt-to-operating EBITDAre ratio on a pro-rata basis was 5.3x.

At March 31, 2020, our annualized net debt-to-operating EBITDAre ratio on a pro-rata basis was 5.3x.

The weighted average base rent on signed shop space leases during 20192020 was $32.75 and exceeds$32.59, which is less than the weighted average annual base rent of all shop space leases due to expire during the next 12 months of $31.50$33.43 PSF. In the anchor category, base rent PSF on new leases decreased due to the limited volume and geographic location of anchor deals in 2019 as compared to 2018. On a comparable basis, new anchor dealand renewal rent spreads were positive.

positive for anchor and shop space leases.

Since the COVID-19 pandemic impacted the United States, new leasing activity has significantly declined as businesses delay executing leases amidst the immediate and uncertain future economic impacts.  This, coupled with potential retail failures, may result in decreased demand for retail space in our centers, which could result in pricing pressure on base rent.  Additionally, with the delays in construction for tenant improvements due to shelter-in-place orders, it may take longer before new tenants are able to open and commence rent payments.  

Significant Tenants and Concentrations of Risk

We seek to reduce our operating and leasing risks through geographic diversification and by avoiding dependence on any single property, market, or tenant. TheBased on their percentage of annualized base rent, the following table summarizes our most significant tenants, based on their percentage of annualized base rent:which the top four are all grocers and considered essential businesses in this current COVID-19 pandemic environment:

Bankruptcies and Credit Concerns

The impact of bankruptcies may increase significantly if tenants occupying our centers are unable to withstand and recover from the disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, which could materially adversely impact Lease income and could result in greater legal expenses within General and administrative expenses. Our management team devotes significant time to researching and monitoring retail trends, consumer preferences, customer shopping behaviors, changes in retail delivery methods, shifts to e-commerce, and changing demographics in order to anticipate the challenges and opportunities impacting the retail industry. AAmidst the COVID-19 pandemic there is a greater shiftfocus on whether tenants are considered essential and non-essential retail, which for now directly impacts the retailer’s ability to e-commerce, large-scale retail business failures,operate and tightgenerate sufficient cash flows to meet their operating expenses, including lease payments.  Tight credit markets could negatively impact consumer spending and, along with large-scale business failures, have an adverse effect on our results offrom operations. We seek to mitigate these potential impacts through tenant diversification, replacing weaker tenants with stronger operators, anchoring our centers with market leading grocery stores that drive footcustomer traffic, and maintaining a presence in affluent suburbs and dense infill trade areas. As a result of our research and findings,During the COVID-19 pandemic, we may reduce new leasing, suspend leasing,also agree to defer or curtail allowancesabate rent for construction of leasehold improvements within a certain retail category or to a specific retailer in order to reduce our risk from bankruptcies and store closings.

tenants impacted by temporary closures.  

We closely monitor the operating performance and rent collections of tenants in our shopping centers as well as those retailers experiencing significant changes to their business models as a result of reduced customer traffic in their stores and increased competition from e-commerce sales.  Retailers who are unable to withstand these and other business pressures, such as significant cash flow declines or debt maturities, may file for bankruptcy. As a result of our research and findings, we may reduce new leasing, suspend leasing, or curtail allowances for construction of leasehold improvements within certain retail categories or to a specific retailer in order to reduce our risk from bankruptcies and store closings.  

Although base rent is supported by long-term lease contracts, tenants who file bankruptcy generally have the legal right to reject any or all of their leases and close related stores. Any unsecured claim we hold against a bankrupt tenant for unpaid rent might 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. As a result, it is likely that we would recover substantially less than the full value of any unsecured claims we hold. Additionally, we may incur significant expense to recoveradjudicate our claim and to release the vacated space. In the event that a tenant with a significant number of leases in our shopping centers files bankruptcy and cancels its leases, we could experience a significant reduction in our revenues. TenantsAs of March 31, 2020, tenants who are currently in bankruptcy and continue to occupy space in our shopping centers at March 31, 2019 represent an aggregate of 0.2%0.4% of our annual base rent on a pro-rata basis.

Results from Operations

COVID-19 Pandemic: three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019

The health crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States, and resulting economic disruption, is a rapidly evolving situation.  Our country’s efforts have been focused on addressing the health crisis and encouraging or requiring social distancing to prevent the spread of the virus, through various forms of federal, state, and local government actions.  While laws vary by state, generally, businesses deemed essential to the public are able to operate while non-essential businesses are not.  Grocer tenants that anchor over 80% of our operating centers are considered essential businesses and the majority have remained open and operational to serve the residents of their communities.  Many restaurants are also considered essential, although the social distancing and group gathering limitations generally prevent in-store or dine-in activity, forcing some of these retailers to evaluate alternate means of providing essential goods and services to the public or, like nonessential tenants, closing during this pandemic.  This may result in certain tenants requesting rent relief from monthly rent obligations during the pandemic closures and even renegotiating future rents based on changes to the economic environment, while some tenants may be unable to reopen.  

The broader and longer-term implications of COVID-19 on our future results of operations and overall financial performance are uncertain at this time.  For the most part, our tenants pay monthly rental payments due at the beginning of the month, which were received as normal for March before the COVID-19 pandemic spread through the United States. The impact of this COVID-19 pandemic is expected to be greater in future quarterly periods in 2020. All adjustments considered necessary to reflect the current estimated economic impact of this COVID-19 pandemic to our results of operations have been reflected herein.

(1) As discussed in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, Regency adopted ASC Topic 842, Leases, using the modified retrospective adoption method as of January 1, 2019, and elected to apply the transition provisions of the standard at the beginning of the period of adoption. As such, the prior period amounts prepared and presented under the former ASC Topic 840, Leases, were not restated, but were reclassified to conform with the current year presentation. Part of the practical expedients in ASC Topic 842 allow management to avoid separating lease and non-lease components of

Lease income therefore all lease income earned pursuant to tenant leases, including recoveries from tenants and percentage rent, in 2019 and as reclassified for 2018, is reflected in Lease income in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Lease income increased $9.8decreased $2.8 million, driven by the following contractually billable components of rent to the tenants per the lease agreements:

$4.5 million decrease in Straight-line rent driven primarily from additional uncollectible lease income and partially by the timing of contractual rent steps.  This COVID-19 pandemic has been most impactful to those tenants of ours considered non-essential, even more so to those struggling before the pandemic. The current economic environment has resulted in changes in our expectations of earning future rent steps previously recognized through straight line rent, resulting in a charge to earnings of $3.9 million for uncollectible straight line rent.  

$3.2 million decrease due to an increase in Uncollectible lease income, driven by changes in collection expectations of our lease income due to the expected impact of the COVID-19 pandemic to our tenants.  

$574,000 net decrease in Above and below market rent accretion as follows:

$2.6 million increase from same properties driven by timing of lease term modification; offset by

$3.2 million decrease from the sale of operating properties.

$5.02.8 million increase from billable baseBase rent, as follows:

$604,000 increase from rent commencing at development properties;

$3.4 million increase from acquisitions of operating properties; and

$2.0 million net increase from same properties due to increases from rent steps in existing leases and rental rate growth, offset by decreases related to the timing of various redevelopments and the loss of rents from bankruptcies, offset by

$3.2 million decrease from the sale of operating properties.


$4.62.2 million increase from rent commencing at development properties;

$1.0 million increase from acquisitions of operating properties; and
$5.4 million increase from same properties due to rental rate growth on new and renewal leases, rent steps in existing leases, and rent commencements,
reduced by $6.0 million from the sale of operating properties.

$1.5 million increase from acquisitions of operating properties and rent commencing at development properties; and

$1.5 million increase from rent commencing at development properties;

$1.4 million increase from same properties due to $782,000 increase in CAM recoveries and $652,000 increase in real estate tax recoveries, both driven by an increase in recoverable costs; offset by

$798,000 decrease from the sale of operating properties.

$362,000519,000 increase from acquisitions of operating properties; and

$2.1 million increase from same properties due to a $2.5 million increase in real estate recoveries offset by a $0.4 million decrease in CAM recoveries;
reduced by $1.7 million from the sale of operating properties.
$632,000 decrease in Percentage rent primarily due to timing of tenant sales reporting.
$5.0 million increase in Above and below market rent amortization within our same property portfolio, primarily driven by accelerated amortization related to 2019 tenant move-outs.
$1.0 million decrease in Other lease income from lowerhigher lease termination fees and assignment fees.

Supplemental Earnings Information

We use certain non-GAAP performance measures, in addition to certain performance metrics determined under GAAP, as we believe these measures improve the understanding of the Company's operating results. We managebelieve these non-GAAP measures provide useful information to our entire real estate portfolio without regardBoard of Directors, management and investors regarding certain trends relating to ownership structure, although certain decisions impacting properties owned throughour financial condition and results of operations. Our management uses these non-GAAP measures to compare our performance to that of prior periods for trend analyses, purposes of determining management incentive compensation and budgeting, forecasting and planning purposes.  We provide Pro-rata financial information because we believe it assists investors and analysts in estimating our economic interest in our consolidated and unconsolidated partnerships, require partner approval. Therefore, wewhen read in conjunction with the Company’s reported results under GAAP.  We believe presenting our pro-rataPro-rata share of operating results, regardless of ownership structure, along with other non-GAAP measures, may assist in comparing the Company'sCompany’s operating results to other REITs.  We continually evaluate the usefulness, relevance, limitations, and calculation of our reported non-GAAP performance measures to determine how best to provide relevant information to the public, and thus such reported measures could change.  See "Defined Terms"“Non-GAAP Measures” at the beginning of this Management's Discussion and Analysis.

We do not consider non-GAAP measures an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitation of these non-GAAP financial measures is they may exclude significant expense and income items that are required by GAAP to be recognized in our consolidated financial statements. In addition, they reflect the exercise of management’s judgment about which expense and income items are excluded or included in determining these non-GAAP financial measures. In order to compensate for these limitations, reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures we use to their most directly comparable GAAP measures are provided. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be relied upon in evaluating the financial condition, results of operations or future prospects of the Company.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General

We use cash flows generated from operating, investing, and financing activities to strengthen our balance sheet, finance our development and redevelopment projects, fund our investment activities, and maintain financial flexibility. We continuously monitor the capital markets and evaluate our ability to issue new debt or equity, to repay maturing debt, or fund our capital commitments.

Except for $500 million of unsecured public and private placement debt, our Parent Company has no capital commitments other than its guarantees of the commitments of our Operating Partnership. All remaining debt is held by our Operating Partnership or by our co-investment partnerships. The Operating Partnership is a co-issuer and a guarantor of the $500 million of outstanding debt of our Parent Company. The Parent Company will from time to time access the capital markets for the purpose of issuing new equity and will simultaneously contribute all of the offering proceeds to the Operating Partnership in exchange for additional partnership units.

Our management team continues to monitor the impacts to our liquidity position due to the COVID-19 pandemic and has taken additional steps to increase our liquidity.  During March 2020, we settled our forward equity sales under our ATM program and received proceeds of approximately $125.8 million.  To further secure our liquidity position and provide financial flexibility, we borrowed an additional $500.0 million on our Line.  At March 31, 2020, we had $733.2 million of unrestricted cash, with remaining borrowing capacity of $535.2 million available on our Line.  We are also closely monitoring and assessing the capital requirements of all in process developments, redevelopments, and capital expenditures, some of which have been suspended due to municipal orders, or have slowed substantially due to health concerns and labor limitations.   We have no unsecured debt maturities until 2022 and a manageable level of secured mortgage maturities during 2020 and 2021, including those mortgages within our joint ventures.  

We continually evaluate alternative financing options, and we believe we can obtain financing on reasonable terms; however, there can be no assurance that additional financing or capital will be available, or that the terms will be acceptable or advantageous to us.  Based upon our available cash balance, sources of capital, our current credit ratings, and the number of high quality, unencumbered properties we own, we believe our available capital resources are sufficient to meet our expected capital needs.

needs for the next 12 months.

In addition to our $39.5$733.2 million of unrestricted cash, we have the following additional sources of capital available:

Our dividend distribution policy is set by our Board of Directors, who monitors our financial position. OurOn May 4, 2020, our Board of Directors recently declared a common stock dividend of $0.585$0.595 per share, payable on May 23, 2019,26, 2020, to shareholders of record as of May 13, 2019.18, 2020. Future dividends will be declared at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will be subject to capital requirements and availability. We plan to continue paying an aggregate amount of distributions to our stock and unit holders that, at a minimum, meet the requirements to continue qualifying as a REIT for federal income tax purposes.

We expect to generatehave historically generated sufficient cash flow from operations to fund our dividend distributions. WeDuring the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, we generated cash flow from operations of approximately$125.7 million and $131.4 million, respectively, and $149.9paid $99.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. We paid $97.8 million and $95.0 millionin dividends to our common stock and unit holders, forrespectively.  We are closely monitoring our tenant cash collections which, with the three months endedfirst monthly rent payment coming due following many non-essential business closures, have significantly declined since March 31, 20192020.  Through May 5, 2020, approximately 62% of base rent billed for April has been collected.  We currently expect this trend to continue through 2020, although we expect collections to improve through the year as restrictions lift and 2018, respectively.

To meetbusinesses reopen.  As a result, there can be no assurance that our additional cash requirements beyondflow from operations will be sufficient to fund our dividend without the benefit of other sources of capital or changes to our dividend policy, including the potential payment of dividends with Regency stock, while remaining in compliance with minimum REIT distributions.  

We currently have 19 development and redevelopment projects in various stages of construction, along with a pipeline of potential projects for future development or redevelopment.  Due to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, in-process projects in certain markets have stopped or have slowed significantly due to municipal orders requiring persons not engaged in essential business to remain at home or due to health concerns and labor limitations.  We are continuing to assess the impact of these project delays to our in-process projects as well as the feasibility of our pipeline projects and non-essential capital expenditures.  In order to maximize positive cash flow, increase liquidity, and preserve financial flexibility, we expect to curtail some projects or delay them to a future period when retail space demand returns to a more favorable level.  We estimate that we will utilizerequire capital during the following:next twelve months of approximately $304.3 million to fund construction and related costs for committed tenant improvements and in-process


remaining

development and redevelopment, to repay maturing debt, and to make capital contributions to our co-investment partnerships.  The $500 million draw on our Line amidst the uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic, coupled with proceeds from settling our forward ATM sales, strengthens our financial position to be able to fund our expected operating and capital expenditures with the uncertainty of operating cash generatedflows during this pandemic and recovery period.  We expect to generate the necessary cash to fund our capital needs from cash flow from operations, after dividends paid,

borrowings from our Line, proceeds from the sale of real estate,
available borrowings from our Line, mortgage loan and
unsecured bank financing, and when the capital markets are favorable, proceeds from the sale of equity or the issuance of new long-termunsecured debt.

46





We also expect to generate sufficient cash flow from operations, after dividends paid, to fund our cash requirements during the next twelve months, which we estimate will total approximately $182.0 million to fund the following:
$163.8 million to complete in-process developments and redevelopments,
$13.2 million to repay maturing debt, and
$5.0 million to fund our pro-rata share of estimated capital contributions to our co-investment partnerships for repayment of maturing debt.
If we start new developments redevelop additional shopping centers,or redevelopments, commit to new acquisitions, prepay debt prior to maturity, or repurchase shares of our common stock, our cash requirements will increase. If we refinance maturing debt, our cash requirements will decrease. In addition, we have an option to purchase, through December 2019, up to an additional 81.63% ownership interest in an operating shopping center. We currently expect the seller to require us to purchase an additional 16.63% ownership interest in the property by December 2019 for approximately $16.7 million.

We endeavor to maintain a high percentage of unencumbered assets. As of DecemberMarch 31, 2018, 87.7%2020, 88.6% of our wholly-owned real estate assets were unencumbered. Such assets allow us to access the secured and unsecured debt markets and to maintain availability on the Line. Our annualized Fixed charge coverage ratio, including our pro-rata share of our partnerships, was 4.24.3 times for each of the periods ended March 31, 20192020 and December 31, 2018.

2019, respectively, and our annualized net debt-to-operating EBITDAre ratio on a pro-rata basis was 5.3x and 5.4x, respectively, for the same periods.  We expect that these ratios may worsen during 2020 as a result of the impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Our Line, Term Loans,Loan, and unsecured loans require that we remain in compliance with various covenants, which are described in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.2019. We are in compliance with these covenants at March 31, 20192020 and expect to remain in compliance.

Significant changes in investing activities include:

We acquired two operating properties for $15.7 million during 2019 and one operating property for $20.1

We acquired one operating property for $16.9 million during 2020 and two operating properties for $15.7 million during the same period in 2019.

We invested $16.4 million more in 2020 than the same period in 2019 on real estate development, redevelopment, and capital improvements, as further detailed in a table below.

We sold two operating properties and one land parcel in 2020 and received proceeds of $103.5 million, including proceeds from repayment of a short-term note issued at closing and repaid during the same period, compared to four operating properties and two land parcels in 2019 for proceeds of $82.5 million.

We invested $33.0 million in our real estate partnerships during 2020, including:

o

$16.0 million to fund our share of acquiring an additional equity interest in one partnership,

o

$10.6 million to fund our share of debt refinancing, and

We plan to continue developing and redeveloping shopping centers for long-term investment. investment, although in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic we are re-evaluating all development and redevelopment projects and limiting capital expenditures as the economic situation unfolds. During 2019,2020, we deployed capital of $39.9$56.3 million for the development, redevelopment, and improvement of our real estate properties, comprised of the following:

Building and tenant improvements increased $1.3 million in 2020, primarily related to the timing of capital projects.

Redevelopment expenditures are higher in 2020 due to the timing, magnitude, and number of projects currently in process. Subject to capital availability, we intend to continuously improve our portfolio of shopping centers through redevelopment which can include adjacent land acquisition, existing building expansion, facade renovation, new out-parcel building construction, and redevelopment related tenant improvement costs. The size and magnitude of each redevelopment project varies with each redevelopment plan.  The timing and duration of these projects could also result in volatility in NOI.

Development expenditures are lower in 2020 due to the progress during 2019 towards completion of our development projects currently in process. At March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had three consolidated development projects that were either under construction or in lease up. See the tables below for more details about our development projects.

Building and tenant improvements decreased $1.8 million in 2019, primarily related to the timing of capital projects.

Interest is capitalized on our development and redevelopment projects and is based on cumulative actual costs expended. We cease interest capitalization when the property is no longer being developed or is available for occupancy upon substantial completion of tenant improvements, but in no event would we capitalize interest on the project beyond 12 months after the anchor opens for business.  If we reduce our development and redevelopment activity, the amount of interest that we capitalize may be lower than historical averages.

Redevelopment expenditures are lower in 2019 due to the timing, magnitude, and number of projects currently in process. We intend to continuously improve our portfolio of shopping centers through redevelopment which can include adjacent land acquisition, existing building expansion, facade renovation, new out-parcel building construction, and redevelopment related tenant improvement costs.  The size and magnitude of each redevelopment project varies with each redevelopment plan.
Development expenditures are lower in 2019 due to the progress during 2018 towards completion of our development projects currently in process. At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we had six and eight consolidated development projects that were either under construction or in lease up. See the tables below for more details about our development projects.
Interest is capitalized on our development and redevelopment projects and is based on cumulative actual costs expended. We cease interest capitalization when the property is no longer being developed or is available for occupancy upon substantial completion of tenant improvements, but in no event would we capitalize interest on the project beyond 12 months after the anchor opens for business.

We have a staff of employees who directly support our development program, which includes redevelopment of our existing properties. We currently expect that our development activity will approximate our recent historical averages, although the amount of activity by type will vary and likely shift towards more redevelopment in the near future. Internal compensation costs directly attributable to these activities are capitalized as part of each project.  In light of the current economic environment, we expect that our development activity could be significantly lower than our recent historical averages. As a result, we expect the amount of internal costs for development activities that may be capitalized could be significantly lower, reducing our financial results.

In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, management is currently reviewing the impacts to project scope, investment, tenancy, timing, and return on investments on all-in process and pipeline projects to determine the most appropriate future direction of each project.  Changes inSome projects and investment have been phased or placed under further review as management assesses the levelimpacts of future development activity could adversely impact results of operations by reducing the amount of internal costs for development projects that may be capitalized. A 10% reduction in development activity without a corresponding reduction in development related compensation costs could result in an additional charge to net income of $1.5 million per year.

At March 31, 2019,2020, our investments in real estate partnerships had notes payable of $1.6$1.5 billion maturing through 2034, of which 92.0%91.5% had a weighted average fixed interest rate of 4.5%4.4%. The remaining notes payable float overwith LIBOR and had a weighted average variable interest rate of 4.7%3.7%. These fixed and variable rate notes payable are all non-recourse, and our pro-rata share was $524.3$530.6 million as of March 31, 2019.2020. As notes payable mature, we expect they will be repaid from proceeds from new borrowings and/or partner capital contributions.

We believe that our partners are financially sound and have sufficient capital or access thereto to fund future capital requirements. In the event that a co-investment partner was unable to fund its share of the capital requirements of the co-investment partnership, we would have the right, but not the obligation, to loan the defaulting partner the amount of its capital call.

Management fee income

In addition to earning our pro-rata share of net income or loss in each of these co-investment partnerships, we receive fees, as shown below:

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 1 to Consolidated Financial Statements.


Environmental Matters

We are subject to numerous environmental laws and regulations as they apply to our shopping centers pertaining primarily to chemicals historically used by thecertain current and former dry cleaning industry,tenants, the existence of asbestos in older shopping centers, and older underground petroleum storage tanks. We believe that the few tenants who currently operate dry cleaning plants or gas stations do so in accordance with current laws and regulations. Generally, we use all legal meansendeavor to cause tenants to remove dry cleaning plants from our shopping centers or convert them to more environmentally friendly systems. Where available, we have applied and been accepted into state-sponsored environmental programs.systems, in accordance with the terms of our leases. We have a blanket environmental insurance policy for third-party liabilities and remediation costs on shopping centers that currently have no known environmental contamination. We have also placed environmental insurance, where possible, on specific properties with known contamination, in order to mitigate our environmental risk. We monitor the shopping centers containing environmental issues and in certain cases voluntarily remediate the sites. We also have legal obligations to remediate certain sites and we are in the process of doing so.


53





As of March 31, 20192020 we and our Investments in real estate partnerships had accrued liabilities of $9.0 million for our pro-rata share of environmental remediation. We believe that the ultimate disposition of currently known environmental matters will not have a material effect on our financial position, liquidity, or results of operations; however, we can give no assurance that existing environmental studies on our shopping centers have revealed all potential environmental liabilities;contamination; that our estimate of liabilities will not change as more information becomes available; that any previous owner, occupant or tenant did not create any material environmental condition not known to us; that the current environmental condition of the shopping centers will not be affected by tenants and occupants, by the condition of nearby properties, or by unrelated third parties; or that changes in applicable environmental laws and regulations or their interpretation will not result in additional environmental liability to us.


Inflation/Deflation

Inflation has been historically low and has had a minimal impact on the operating performance of our shopping centers; however, inflation may become a greater concern in the near future. Substantially all of our long-term leases contain provisions designed to mitigate the adverse impact of inflation, which require tenants to pay their pro-rata share of operating expenses, including common-area maintenance, real estate taxes, insurance and utilities, thereby reducing our exposure to increases in costs and operating expenses resulting from inflation. In addition, many of our leases are for terms of less than ten years, which permits us to seek increased rents upon re-rental at market rates. However, during deflationary periods or periods of economic weakness, minimum rents and percentage rents willmay decline as the supply of available retail space exceeds demand and consumer spending declines. Occupancy declines willmay also result in lower recovery rates of our operating expenses.


Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

There

We continuously monitor the capital markets and evaluate our ability to issue new debt, to repay maturing debt, or fund our commitments.  Although the capital markets have experienced a high degree of volatility related to the COVID-19 global pandemic, we continue to believe that we will be able to successfully issue new secured or unsecured debt to fund maturing debt obligations.  The degree to which such capital market volatility will adversely impact the interest rates on any new debt that we may issue is uncertain.  Otherwise, there have been no material changes from the quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk disclosed in item 7A of Part II of our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION


Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We are a party to various legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of our business. We are not currently involved in any litigation nor to our knowledge, is any litigation threatened against us, the outcome of which would, in our judgment based on information currently available to us, have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations.


Item 1A. Risk Factors

There have been no material changes from

In addition to the risk factors disclosed in item 1A. of Part I of our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

2019, the following additional risks have been identified during 2020:

Pandemics or other health crises may adversely affect our tenants’ financial condition, the profitability of our properties, our access to the capital markets and could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.

During March 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) declared the recent outbreak of a novel coronavirus, named COVID-19, a worldwide pandemic.  Pandemics or other health crises are expected to adversely affect our tenants’ ability to conduct business as they have historically, directly impacting their financial condition and the profitability of our properties. Our business will be materially and adversely affected by the risks, or the public perception of the risks, related to a pandemic or other health crisis. The profitability of our properties depends, in part, on the willingness of customers to visit our tenants’ businesses. The risk, or public perception of the risk, of a pandemic or media coverage of infectious diseases is likely to cause individuals to avoid our properties, which would adversely affect customer traffic to our tenants’ businesses and our tenants’ ability to adequately staff their businesses. In addition, health crises are expected to adversely impact us by disrupting our tenants’ supply chains, thereby impacting their ability to deliver goods and services to their customers.  Such events will adversely impact tenants’ sales and/or cause the temporary closure of our tenants’ businesses, which could severely disrupt their operations and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

In addition, U.S. federal, state, and local government actions to reduce or prevent the spread of COVID-19 placed restrictions on social gatherings, which directly impact many of our tenants whose businesses may be considered non-essential.  While essential businesses, such as grocery stores, occupy a significant amount of space in our centers and thus far have been able to continue to operate and serve their customers, our tenants with non-essential businesses are experiencing significant declines in customer traffic or have temporarily closed their stores in reaction to legally enforceable governmental orders or overall efforts to support social distancing.  

New leasing activity is expected to also significantly decline as businesses delay executing leases amidst the immediate and uncertain future economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.  This, coupled with potential retail failures, may result in decreased demand for retail space in our centers, which could result in pricing pressure on base rent.  Additionally, with the delays in construction for tenant improvements due to shelter-in-place orders, it may take longer before new tenants are able to open and commence rent payments.


In addition, our ability to successfully start or complete tenant buildouts, new ground up development or redevelopment of existing properties has been and is expected to continue to be adversely impacted by similar disruptions with respect to governmental orders shutting down construction activities, impacts on our ability to source materials for construction and labor shortages impacting our ability to complete construction projects on anticipated schedules.  Such adverse impact to our supply chain could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operation.

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused great volatility in the capital markets.  Such volatility has created uncertainty as to whether issuers may access capital. If capital is available, whether the terms of such capital are attractive compared to pre-pandemic terms is also uncertain.

The extent of the COVID-19 pandemic’s effect on our profitability and financial performance will depend on future developments including the duration, spread and intensity of the outbreak, all of which are uncertain and difficult to predict. The adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows could be material. Moreover, many of the risks described in the risk factors set forth in our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K may be more likely to impact us as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the responses to curb its spread.
