2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies: (Continued)

The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2021.~~2022. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements for the interim periods have been made. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, ~~2021~~2022 has been derived from the audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP.

The following table presents a reconciliation of the beginning of period and end of period cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash reported on the Company's consolidated balance sheets to the totals shown on its consolidated statements of cash flows:

3. Earnings Per Share ("EPS"):

~~COVID-19 Pandemic:~~

~~In March 2020,~~The following table reconciles the ~~COVID-19 outbreak was declared a pandemic by~~numerator and denominator used in the ~~World Health Organization. As a result, all~~computation of the markets that the Company operates in were subject to stay-at-home orders, and the majority of its properties were temporarily closed in part or completely. Following staggered re-openings during 2020, all Centers have been open and operating since October 7, 2020 and government-imposed capacity restrictions resulting from COVID-19 have been essentially eliminated across the Company’s markets.

~~COVID-19 Lease Accounting:~~

In April 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a Staff Question-and-Answer (“Q&A”) to clarify whether lease concessions related to the effects of COVID-19 require the application of the lease modification guidance under Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 842, "Leases" ("the lease modification accounting framework"). Under ASC 842, the Company would have to determine, on a lease-by-lease basis, if a lease concession was the result of a new arrangement reached with the tenant or an enforceable right and obligation within the existing lease. The Q&A allows for the bypass of a lease-by-lease analysis, and allows the Company to elect to either apply the lease modification accounting framework or not to all of its lease concessions with similar characteristics and circumstances. The Company has elected to apply the lease modification accounting framework to lease concessions that include the abatement of rent in its consolidated financial statementsEPS for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 ~~and 2021.~~

The above ~~derivative was~~derivatives were valued with an aggregate fair value (Level 2 measurement) and ~~was~~were included in other assets (other accrued ~~liabilities.~~liabilities). The fair value of the Company's interest rate ~~derivative~~derivatives was determined using discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of the ~~derivative.~~derivatives. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the ~~derivative,~~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 ~~derivative~~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 ~~swap.~~caps. As a result, the Company determined that its interest rate cap ~~valuation~~valuations in ~~its~~their entirety isare classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Simultaneously with entering into the new credit agreement, the Company repaid $985,000 of debt, which included terminating and repaying all amounts outstanding under its prior revolving line of credit facility.

As of March 31, ~~2022,~~2023, the Company's availability under the revolving loan facility for additional borrowings was ~~$448,719. On September 20, 2021, the Company paid off the remaining balance outstanding on the term loan facility with proceeds from the sale of Tucson La Encantada (See Note 15—Dispositions).~~$446,787. The estimated fair value (Level 2 measurement) of borrowings under the credit facility at March 31, ~~2022~~2023 was ~~$72,916~~$78,422 for the revolving loan facility based on a present value model using a credit interest rate spread offered to the Company for comparable debt.

As of March 31, ~~2022~~2023 and December 31, ~~2021,~~2022, the Company was in compliance with all applicable financial loan covenants.

12. Financing Arrangement:

On September 30, 2009, the Company formed a joint venture whereby a third party acquired a 49.9% interest in Chandler Fashion Center, a ~~1,319,000~~1,320,000 square foot regional shopping center in Chandler, Arizona, and Freehold Raceway Mall, a ~~1,553,000~~1,549,000 square foot regional shopping center in Freehold, New Jersey (collectively referred to herein as "Chandler Freehold"). As a result of the Company having certain rights under the agreement to repurchase the assets after the seventh year of the formation of Chandler Freehold, the transaction did not qualify for sale treatment. The Company, however, is not obligated to repurchase the assets. The Company accounts for its investment in Chandler Freehold as a financing arrangement. The fair value (Level 3 measurement) of the financing arrangement obligation at ~~each of~~ March 31, ~~2022~~2023 and December 31, ~~2021~~2022 was based upon a terminal capitalization rate of approximately ~~5.75%~~6.50% and 6.25%, respectively, a discount rate at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 of ~~approximately 7.25%~~8.25% and 7.75%, respectively, and market rents per square foot of $35 to $105. The fair value of the financing arrangement obligation is sensitive to these significant unobservable inputs and a change in these inputs may result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement. Distributions to the partner, excluding distributions of excess loan proceeds, and changes in fair value of the financing arrangement obligation are recognized as related party interest (income) expense in the Company's consolidated statements of operations.

During the three months ended March 31, ~~2022~~2023 and ~~2021,~~2022, the Company recognized related party interest (income) expense ~~(income)~~ in the Company's consolidated statements of operations in connection with the financing arrangement as follows:


	For the Three Months Ended March 31,
		2023		2022
Distributions equal to the partner's share of net (loss) income		$	(340)	$	497
Distributions in excess of the partner's share of net (loss) income		2,818		4,962
Adjustment to fair value of financing arrangement obligation		(11,885)		2,543
		$	(9,407)	$	8,002

For the Three Months Ended March 31,
2022 2021
Distributions equal to the partner's share of net income (loss) $ 497 $ (1,232)
Distributions in excess of the partner's share of net income 4,962 3,414

Other Transactions and Events:

In March 2020, the COVID-19 outbreak was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization. As a result, all of the markets that the Company operates in were subject to stay-at-home orders, and the majority of its properties were temporarily closed in part or completely. Following staggered re-openings during 2020, all Centers have been open and operating since October 7, 2020. As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, government-imposed capacity restrictions resulting from COVID-19 have been essentially eliminated across the Company's markets. Although overall fundamentals at the Centers continued to improve during 2021 and into the first quarter of 2022, the Company expects that the COVID-19 pandemic, including the emergence of new variants, will continue to negatively impact its results for the remainder of 2022 due, in part, to reduced occupancy relative to pre-COVID levels and additional Anchor closures, among other factors.

The Company declared a cash dividend of $0.15 per share of its common stock for each of the first three quarters of 2022 and a cash dividend of $0.17 per share of its common stock for the fourth quarter ~~in the year ended December 31, 2021.~~of 2022. On January 27, ~~2022,~~2023, the Company declared a first quarter cash dividend of ~~$0.15~~$0.17 per share of its common stock, which was paid on March 3, ~~2022~~2023 to stockholders of record on February ~~18, 2022.~~17, 2023. On ~~May 9, 2022,~~April 28, 2023, the Company ~~declared~~announced a second quarter cash dividend of ~~$0.15~~$0.17 per share of its common stock, which will be paid on June ~~3, 2022~~2, 2023 to stockholders of record on May ~~20, 2022.~~19, 2023. The dividend amount will be reviewed by the Board on a quarterly basis.

In connection with the commencement of separate "at the market" offering programs, on each of February 1, 2021 and March 26, 2021, which are referred to as the "February 2021 ATM Program" and the "March 2021 ATM Program," respectively, and collectively as the "ATM Programs," the Company entered into separate equity distribution agreements with certain sales agents pursuant to which the Company may issue and sell shares of its common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $500 million under each of the February 2021 ATM Program and the March 2021 ATM Program, or a total of $1 billion under the ATM Programs. As of March 31, ~~2022,~~2023, the Company had approximately $151.7 million of gross sales of its common stock available under the March 2021 ATM Program. The February 2021 ATM Program was fully utilized as of June 30, 2021 and is no longer active.

Inflation:

~~In the last five years, inflation has not had a significant impact on the Company.~~ Most of the leases at the Centers have rent adjustments periodically throughout the lease term. These rent increases are either in fixed increments or based on using an annual multiple of increases in the Consumer Price Index. In addition, the routine expiration of leases for spaces 10,000 square feet and under each year enables the Company to replace existing leases with new leases at higher base rents if the rents of the existing leases are below the then existing market rate. The Company has generally entered into leases that require tenants to pay a stated amount for operating expenses, generally excluding property

Table of Contents

taxes, regardless of the expenses actually incurred at any Center, which places the burden of cost control on the Company. Additionally, most leases require the tenants to pay their pro rata share of property taxes and utilities. Inflation is expected to have a negative impact on the Company's costs in 2023.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Some of these estimates and assumptions include judgments on revenue recognition, estimates for common area maintenance and real estate tax accruals, provisions for uncollectible accounts, impairment of long-lived assets, the allocation of purchase price between tangible and intangible assets, capitalization of costs and fair value measurements. The Company's significant accounting policies and estimates are described in more detail in Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Company's Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. However, the following policies are deemed to be critical.

Acquisitions:

Upon the acquisition of real estate properties, the Company evaluates whether the acquisition is a business combination or asset acquisition. For both business combinations and asset acquisitions, the Company allocates the purchase price of properties to acquired tangible assets and intangible assets and liabilities. For asset acquisitions, the Company capitalizes transaction costs and allocates the purchase price using a relative fair value method allocating all accumulated costs. For business combinations, the Company expenses transaction costs incurred and allocates purchase price based on the estimated fair value of each separately identified asset and liability. The Company allocates the estimated fair value of acquisitions to land, building, tenant improvements and identified intangible assets and liabilities, based on their estimated fair values. In addition, any assumed mortgage notes payable are recorded at their estimated fair values. The estimated fair value of the land and buildings is determined utilizing an “as if vacant” methodology. Tenant improvements represent the tangible assets associated with the existing leases valued on a fair value basis at the acquisition date prorated over the remaining lease terms. The tenant improvements are classified as an asset under property and are depreciated over the remaining lease terms. Identifiable intangible assets and liabilities relate to the value of in-place operating leases which come in three forms: (i) leasing commissions and legal costs, which represent the value associated with “cost avoidance” of acquiring in-place leases, such as lease commissions paid under terms generally experienced in the Company's markets; (ii) value of in-place leases, which represents the estimated loss of revenue and of costs incurred for the period required to lease the “assumed vacant” property to the occupancy level when purchased; and (iii) above or below-market value of in-place leases, which represents the difference between the contractual rents and market rents at the time of the acquisition, discounted for tenant credit risks. Leasing commissions and legal costs are recorded in deferred charges and other assets and are amortized over the remaining lease terms. The value of in-place leases are recorded in deferred charges and other assets and amortized over the remaining lease terms plus any below-market fixed rate renewal options. Above or below-market leases are classified in deferred charges and other assets or in other accrued liabilities, depending on whether the contractual terms are above or below-market, and the asset or liability is amortized to minimum rents over the remaining terms of the leases. The remaining lease terms of below-market leases may include certain below-market fixed-rate renewal periods. In considering whether or not a lessee will execute a below-market fixed-rate lease renewal option, the Company evaluates economic factors and certain qualitative factors at the time of acquisition such as tenant mix in the Center, the Company's relationship with the tenant and the availability of competing tenant space.

Remeasurement gains and losses are recognized when the Company becomes the primary beneficiary of an existing equity method investment that is a variable interest entity to the extent that the fair value of the existing equity investment exceeds the carrying value of the investment, and remeasurement losses to the extent the carrying value of the investment exceeds the fair value. The fair value is determined based on a discounted cash flow model, with the significant unobservable inputs including discount rate, terminal capitalization rate and market rents.

~~Table of Contents~~

Asset Impairment:

The Company assesses whether an indicator of impairment in the value of its properties exists by considering expected future operating income, trends and prospects, as well as the effects of demand, competition and other economic factors. Such factors include projected rental revenue, operating costs and capital expenditures as well as estimated holding periods and capitalization rates. If an impairment indicator exists, the determination of recoverability is made based upon the estimated undiscounted future net cash flows, excluding interest expense. The amount of impairment loss, if any, is determined by comparing the fair value, as determined by a discounted cash flows analysis or a contracted sales price, with the carrying value

Table of Contents

of the related assets. The Company generally holds and operates its properties long-term, which decreases the likelihood of their carrying values not being recoverable. A shortened holding period increases the risk that the carrying value of a long-lived asset is not recoverable. Properties classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell.

The Company reviews its investments in unconsolidated joint ventures for a series of operating losses and other factors that may indicate that a decrease in the value of its investments has occurred which is other-than-temporary. The investment in each unconsolidated joint venture is evaluated periodically, and as deemed necessary, for recoverability and valuation declines that are other-than-temporary.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments:

The fair value hierarchy distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity and the reporting entity's own assumptions about market participant assumptions. Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs may include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, as well as inputs that are observable for the asset or liability (other than quoted prices), such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, which is typically based on an entity's own assumptions, as there is little, if any, related market activity. In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company's assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

The Company calculates the fair value of financial instruments and includes this additional information in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements when the fair value is different than the carrying value of those financial instruments. When the fair value reasonably approximates the carrying value, no additional disclosure is made.

The Company records its financing arrangement (See Note 12—Financing Arrangement in the Company's Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements) obligation at fair value on a recurring basis with changes in fair value being recorded as interest expense in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. The fair value is determined based on a discounted cash flow model, with the significant unobservable inputs including discount rate, terminal capitalization rate, and market rents. The fair value of the financing arrangement obligation is sensitive to these significant unobservable inputs and a change in these inputs may result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement.

Results of Operations

Many of the variations in the results of operations, discussed below, occurred because of the transactions affecting the Company’s properties described in Management’s Overview and Summary above, including the Redevelopment Properties, the JV Transition Centers and the Disposition Properties (as defined below).

For purposes of the discussion below, the Company defines “Same Centers” as those Centers that are substantially complete and in operation for the entirety of both periods of the comparison. Non-Same Centers for comparison purposes include those Centers or properties that are going through a substantial redevelopment often resulting in the closing of a portion of the Center (“Redevelopment Properties”), those properties that have recently transitioned to or from equity method joint ventures to or from consolidated assets ("JV Transition Centers") and properties that have been disposed of (“Disposition Properties”). The Company moves a Center in and out of Same Centers based on whether the Center is substantially complete and in operation for the entirety of both periods of the comparison. Accordingly, the Same Centers consist of all consolidated Centers, excluding the Redevelopment Properties, the JV Transition Centers and the Disposition Properties, for the periods of comparison.

For the comparison of the three months ended March 31, ~~2022~~2023 to the three months ended March 31, ~~2021,~~2022, the ~~Disposition Properties~~JV Transition Centers are ~~Paradise Valley~~the two former Sears parcels at Deptford Mall and ~~Tucson La Encantada.~~

the three months ended March 31, 2023 to the three months ended March 31, 2022, there are no Redevelopment Properties or Disposition Properties.

Unconsolidated joint ventures are reflected using the equity method of accounting. The Company’s pro rata share of the results from these Centers is reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Operations as equity in ~~(loss) income~~loss of unconsolidated joint ventures.

The Company considers tenant annual sales, occupancy rates (excluding large retail stores or “Anchors”) and releasing spreads (i.e., a comparison of initial average base rent per square foot on leases executed during the trailing twelve months to average base rent per square foot at expiration for the leases expiring during the trailing twelve months based on the spaces 10,000 square feet and under) to be key performance indicators of the Company’s internal growth.

During the first quarter of ~~2022,~~2023, comparable tenant sales for spaces less than 10,000 square feet across the portfolio increased by ~~14.5%~~0.1% relative to the first quarter of ~~2021 and 11.5% relative to pre-COVID sales during the first quarter of 2019.~~2022. The leased occupancy rate of 92.2% at March 31, 2023 represented a 0.9% increase from 91.3% at March 31, ~~2022 represented a 2.8% increase from 88.5% at March 31, 2021.~~2022. Releasing spreads increased as the Company executed leases at an average rent of ~~$58.09~~$60.29 for new and renewal leases executed compared to ~~$57.35~~$56.54 on leases expiring, resulting in a releasing spread increase of ~~$0.74~~$3.75 per square foot, or ~~1.3%~~6.6%, for the trailing twelve months ended March 31, ~~2022.~~2023.

The Company continues to renew or replace leases that are scheduled to expire in ~~2022,~~2023, however, ~~for~~due to a variety of factors, the Company cannot be certain of its ability to sign, renew or replace leases expiring in ~~2022~~2023 or beyond. The remaining ~~2022~~2023 lease expirations continue to be an important focal point for the Company. As of March 31, ~~2022,~~2023, the Company has executed renewal leases or commitments ~~from retailers~~on 67% of its 2023 expiring square footage of space that ~~are in lease documentation for 56% of the leased space expiring in 2022, and~~is not otherwise expected to close, with another ~~35% of such expiring space is~~20% in the letter of intent ~~stage. Excluding those leases, the remaining leases expiring in 2022, which represent approximately 202,000 square feet of the Centers, are in the prospecting~~ stage.

During the quarter ended March 31, ~~2022,~~2023, the Company signed 8280 new leases and ~~138~~176 renewal leases comprising approximately ~~617,000~~949,000 square feet of GLA. The average tenant allowance was ~~$18.09~~$34.61 per square foot.

Outlook

The Company has a long-term four-pronged business strategy that focuses on the acquisition, leasing and management, redevelopment and development of regional town centers. Although fundamentals at the Centers continued to improve during ~~2021~~2022 and into the first quarter of ~~2022, the Company expects that the COVID-19 pandemic,~~2023, operating results in 2023 could be negatively impacted by certain macro-economic factors, including ~~the emergence of new variants, will continue to negatively impact its results for the remainder of 2022 due,~~any continued increase in ~~part, to reduced occupancy relative to pre-COVID levels~~inflation and ~~additional Anchor closures, among other factors.~~interest rates or an economic slowdown or recession.

All Centers have been open and operating since October 7, 2020. As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, government-imposed capacity restrictions resulting from COVID-19 have been essentially eliminated across the Company’s markets. The Company experienced a positive impact to its leasing revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2022 as leasing revenue increased by approximately 9.6%, including joint venturesTraffic at the Company’s ~~share, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021. This increase was primarily due to (i) increases in percentage rent, which was primarily driven by accelerating tenant sales~~Centers were generally consistent throughout all of 2022 and ~~(ii) decreases in bad debt reserves and decreases in retroactive rent abatements incurred in~~ the first quarter of ~~2022~~2023 when compared to the first quarter of 2021; which were partially offset by decreases in leasing revenue from the Disposition Properties and The Shops at North Bridge, at the Company's share (See “—Dispositions” above).

~~Sales and traffic at the Company’s Centers continued to improve~~pre-pandemic 2019 levels. Traffic levels averaged approximately 97% during the first quarter of ~~2022 with extremely high customer conversion rates. Traffic levels during~~2023 as compared to 2022. Portfolio tenant sales from spaces less than 10,000 square feet were $866 compared to $869 for the ~~first quarter of 2022 continued to range in the mid 90%’s relative to the pre-pandemic first quarter of 2019.~~trailing twelve months ended December 31, 2022. Comparable tenant sales from spaces less than 10,000 square feet across the portfolio increased by 14.5% and 11.5% relative to the first quarter of 2021 and the pre-COVID sales during the first quarter of 2019, respectively. Portfolio tenant sales per square foot for spaces less than 10,000 square feet for the trailing twelve months ended March 31, 2023 increased by 0.1% compared to the same timeframe in 2022.

During 2022, ~~were $843,~~the Company leased 3.8 million square feet, which ~~is a record high~~represented the strongest year of leasing volume for the ~~Company.~~

Company when measured on a comparable center basis since before the 2009 Global Financial Crisis, and leasing volumes for the first quarter of 2023 significantly exceeded those from the first quarter of 2022. During the first quarter of ~~2022,~~2023, the Company signed ~~220~~256 leases for approximately ~~617,000~~949,000 square feet, compared to ~~181~~214 leases and ~~693,000~~598,000 square feet ~~relative to what was~~ leased during the first quarter of ~~2021.

The Company believes that diversity of use within its tenant base will be a prominent internal growth catalyst at its Centers going forward, as new uses enhance the productivity and diversity of the tenant mix and have the potential to significantly increase customer traffic at the applicable Centers. During the quarter ended March 31, ~~2022,~~2023, the Company ~~signed deals for~~opened new stores with new-to-Macerich portfolio uses for over 103,000 square feet, with another ~~nearly 326,000~~179,000 square feet of such new-to-Macerich portfolio leases currently in negotiation as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2022, the Company signed 101 leases for new stores with new-to-Macerich portfolio uses totaling approximately 441,000 square feet.

As of March 31, ~~2022,~~2023, the leased occupancy rate was ~~91.3%~~92.2%, a ~~2.8%~~0.9% increase compared to the leased occupancy rate at March 31, ~~2021~~2022 of ~~88.5%~~91.3%.

The Company’s rent collections have continued to significantly improve and are now comparable to pre-COVID-19 levels. The Company has now completed its negotiations with national and local tenants to secure rental payments. Those negotiations resulted in the Company entering into lease amendments which granted significant rental assistance in the form of rent deferral and/or rent reduction. Many of the Company’s leases contain co-tenancy clauses. Certain Anchor or small tenant closures have become permanent, whether caused by the pandemic, or otherwise, and co-tenancy clauses within certain leases may be triggered as a result. The Company does not anticipate that the negative impact of such clauses on lease revenue will be significant.

During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company incurred $47.6 million of rent abatements at the Company’s share relating primarily to 2020 rents as a result of COVID-19 and negotiated $4.6 million of rent deferrals during the year ended December 31, 2021 at the Company’s share. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company incurred less than $0.1 million of rent abatements at the Company’s share compared to $28.9 million for the three months ending March 31, 2021 which related primarily to 2020 rents as a result of COVID-19. The Company negotiated $0.6 million of rent deferrals during the three months ended March 31, 2021 at the Company’s share compared to less than $0.1 million of rent deferrals during the three months ended March 31, 2022. As of March 31, 2022, $3.6 million of the rent deferrals remain outstanding, with $2.2 million scheduled to be repaid during the remainder of 2022 and the balance scheduled for repayment in 2023 and thereafter.

~~During 2021,~~ the pace of bankruptcy filings involving the Company’s tenants decreased substantially as compared to ~~2020,~~2021, with ~~ten~~only two bankruptcy filings ~~totaling 62 leases and~~ involving three of the Company’s tenants representing approximately ~~369,000~~111,000 square feet of leased space and ~~$11.9~~$2.2 million of annual leasing revenue at the Company’s share. This included two leases totaling 139,000 square feet with a single department store retailer that quickly emerged from bankruptcy and assumed both of its leases with the Company. Excluding this department store retailer, bankruptcy filings during 2021 only involved approximately 230,000 square feet. The Company ~~expects~~continues to expect that the pace of bankruptcy filings in ~~2022~~2023 will ~~similarly~~ be ~~lower than years prior~~relatively low compared to 2020.

During ~~2022,~~2023, the Company expects to generate positive cash flow from operations after recurring operating capital expenditures, leasing capital expenditures and payment of dividends. This assumption does not include any potential capital generated from dispositions, refinancings or issuances of common equity. This expected surplus will be used to de-lever the Company’s balance sheet as well as to fund the Company’s development and redevelopment pipeline.

~~On October 26, 2021,~~The Company continues to make substantial progress addressing its near-term, non-recourse loan maturities, with five completed transactions since the start of the fourth quarter of 2022 totaling over $2.0 billion, or approximately $1.4 billion at the Company’s ~~joint venture closed a $65 million, five-year loan, including extension options, that bears interest at LIBOR plus 4.15% to refinance The Shops at Atlas Park, which replaced a $67.5 million loan~~pro rata share. For additional information on the ~~property. Additionally,~~Company’s financing transactions in the year ended 2022 through the date of this Quarterly Report on February 2, 2022, the Company’s joint venture in FlatIron Crossing replaced the existing $197 million loan on the property with a new $175 million loan that bears interest at SOFR plus 3.70% and matures on February 9, 2025, including extension options. On April 29, 2022, the Company closed on a new $72 million loan at Pacific View with a fixed rate of 5.29% that matures on May 6, 2032. On May 6, 2022, the Company closed on a two-year extension of the $175.4 million loan on The Oaks to June 5, 2024. The loan will now bear a fixed interest rate of 5.25%, and the Company repaid $5.0 million of the outstanding loan balance at closing (See “—FinancingForm 10-Q, see “Financing Activities” in Management’s Overview and ~~Summary).~~Summary.

Rising interest rates are increasing the cost of the Company’s borrowings due to its outstanding floating-rate debt and have led to higher interest rates on new fixed-rate debt. The Company expects to incur increased interest expense from the refinancing or extension of loans that may currently carry below-market interest rates. In certain cases, the Company may limit its exposure to interest rate fluctuations related to a portion of its floating-rate debt by using interest rate cap and swap agreements. Such agreements, subject to current market conditions, allow the Company to replace floating-rate debt with fixed-rate debt in order to achieve its desired ratio of floating-rate to fixed-rate debt. However, any interest rate cap or swap agreements that the Company enters into may not be effective in reducing its exposure to interest rate changes. ~~For example, the Company’s prior swap agreements, which expired on September 30, 2021, resulted in increases in interest expense in 2021.~~

Sources of Capital

The Company has also generated liquidity in the past, and may continue to do so in the future, through equity offerings and issuances, property refinancings, joint venture transactions and the sale of non-core assets. For example, the Company sold The Marketplace at Flagstaff in Flagstaff, Arizona on May 2, 2023 and sold Paradise Valley Mall in Phoenix, Arizona and Tucson La Encantada in Tucson, Arizona during the year ended December 31, 2021. The Company used the proceeds from these sales to pay down its line of credit and other debt obligations. During the year ended December 31, 2022 and three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company and certain joint venture partners sold various land parcels in separate transactions for aggregate proceeds of $63.3 million at the Company's share, which the Company used to pay down debt and for other general corporate purposes. Furthermore, the Company has filed a shelf registration statement, which registered an unspecified amount of common stock, preferred stock, depositary shares, debt securities, warrants, rights, stock purchase contracts and units that may be sold from time to time by the Company.

On each of February 1, 2021 and March 26, 2021, the Company registered a separate "at the market" offering program, pursuant to which the Company may issue and sell shares of its common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $500 million under each ATM Program, or a total of $1.0 billion under the ATM Programs, in amounts and at times to be determined by the Company. The February 2021 ATM Program was fully utilized as of June 30, 2021 and is no longer active. During the three months ended March 31, ~~2022,~~2023, no shares were issued under the March 2021 ATM Program. As of March 31, ~~2022,~~2023, the Company had approximately $151.7 million of gross sales of its common stock available under the March 2021 ATM Program.

The capital and credit markets can fluctuate and, at times, limit access to debt and equity financing for companies. The Company has been able to access capital; however, there is no assurance the Company will be able to do so in future periods or on similar terms and conditions. Many factors impact the Company's ability to access capital, such as its overall debt level, interest rates, interest coverage ratios and prevailing market conditions, including periods of economic slowdown or recession. For example, the credit markets have experienced and may continue to experience a slowdown stemming from broader market issues pertaining to various factors, including among others, the health of regional banks, prevailing market sentiment regarding various commercial real estate sectors and interest rate increases imposed by the Federal Reserve. The duration of any such impact is unknown. The Company expects to incur increased interest expense from the refinancing or extension of ~~COVID-19. Increases~~loans that may carry below-market interest rates. In addition, increases in the Company's proportion of floating rate debt will cause it to be subject to interest rate fluctuations in the future.

The Company's total outstanding loan indebtedness, which includes mortgages and other notes payable, at March 31, ~~2022~~2023 was ~~$6.9~~$6.84 billion (consisting of ~~$4.5~~$4.28 billion of consolidated debt, less ~~$0.5~~$0.40 billion of noncontrolling interests, plus ~~$2.9~~$2.96 billion of its pro rata share of unconsolidated joint venture debt). The majority of the Company's debt consists of fixed-rate conventional mortgage notes collateralized by individual properties. The Company expects that all of the maturities during the next twelve months will be refinanced, restructured, extended and/or paid off from the Company's line of credit or cash on ~~hand.~~hand, with the exception of Towne Mall (See “—Financing Activities” in Management’s Overview and Summary).

The Company believes that the pro rata debt provides useful information to investors regarding its financial condition because it includes the Company’s share of debt from unconsolidated joint ventures and, for consolidated debt, excludes the Company’s partners’ share from consolidated joint ventures, in each case presented on the same basis. The Company has several significant joint ventures and presenting its pro rata share of debt in this manner can help investors better understand the Company’s financial condition after taking into account the Company's economic interest in these joint ventures. The Company’s pro rata share of debt should not be considered as a substitute for the Company’s total consolidated debt determined in accordance with GAAP or any other GAAP financial measures and should only be considered together with and as a supplement to the Company’s financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.

The Company accounts for its investments in joint ventures that it does not have a controlling interest or is not the primary beneficiary using the equity method of accounting and those investments are reflected on the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as investments in unconsolidated joint ventures.

As of March 31, 2022, one of the Company’s joint ventures had $50.0 million of debt that could become recourse to the Company should the joint venture be unable to discharge the obligation of the related debt.

Additionally, as of March 31, ~~2022,~~2023, the Company was contingently liable for ~~$41.0~~$40.9 million in letters of credit guaranteeing performance by the Company of certain obligations relating to the Centers. As of March 31, ~~2022,~~2023, $40.7 million of these letters of credit were secured by restricted cash. The Company does not believe that these letters of credit will result in a liability to the Company.

~~On October 26, 2021,~~The Company continues to make substantial progress addressing its near-term, non-recourse loan maturities, with five completed transactions since the start of the fourth quarter of 2022 totaling over $2.0 billion, or approximately $1.4 billion at the Company’s ~~joint venture closed a $65 million, five-year loan, including extension options, that bears interest at LIBOR plus 4.15% to refinance The Shops at Atlas Park, which replaced a $67.5 million loan~~pro rata share.

On April 29, 2022, the Company closed on a new $72 million loan at Pacific View with a fixed rate of 5.29% that matures on May 6, 2032. On May 6, 2022, the Company closed on a two-year extension of the $175.4 million loan on The Oaks to June 5, 2024. The loan will now bear a fixed interest rate of 5.25%, and the Company repaid $5.0 million of the outstanding balance at closing.Summary.

The Company has ~~a $700 million credit facility, including~~ a $525 million revolving loan facility that matures on April 14, ~~2023, with a one-year extension option, and a $175 million term loan facility that matures on April 14,~~ 2024. The revolving

~~Table of Contents~~

loan facility can be expanded up to $800 million, subject to receipt of lender commitments and other conditions. All obligations under the credit facility are guaranteed unconditionally by the Company and are secured in the form of mortgages on certain wholly-owned assets and pledges of equity interests held by certain of the Company’s subsidiaries. The credit facility bears interest at LIBOR plus a spread of 2.25% to 3.25% depending on Company’s overall leverage level. On March 22, 2023, the Company executed the one-year extension option to April 14, 2024. Additionally, effective March 13, 2023, the credit facility converted from LIBOR to 1-month Term SOFR with an applicable benchmark replacement adjustment. As of March 31, ~~2022,~~2023, the borrowing rate was ~~LIBOR~~SOFR plus a spread of 2.25%. As of March 31, ~~2022,~~2023, borrowings under the credit facility were ~~$76.0~~$78.0 million less unamortized deferred finance costs of ~~$12.6~~$6.3 million for the revolving loan facility at a total interest rate of ~~3.76%~~8.35%. As of March 31, ~~2022,~~2023, the Company’s availability under the revolving loan facility for additional borrowings was ~~$448.7~~$446.8 million.

Funds From Operations ("FFO")

The Company uses FFO in addition to net income to report its operating and financial results and considers FFO and FFO ~~��~~—diluted as supplemental measures for the real estate industry and a supplement to GAAP measures. The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts defines FFO as net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of properties, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization, impairment write-downs of real estate and write-downs of investments in an affiliate where the write-downs have been driven by a decrease in the value of real estate held by the affiliate and after adjustments for unconsolidated joint ventures. Adjustments for unconsolidated joint ventures are calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis.

The Company accounts for its joint venture in Chandler Freehold as a financing arrangement. In connection with this treatment, the Company recognizes financing expense on (i) the changes in fair value of the financing arrangement obligation, (ii) any payments to the joint venture partner equal to their pro rata share of net income and (iii) any payments to the joint venture partner less than or in excess of their pro rata share of net income. The Company excludes from its definition of FFO the noted expenses related to the changes in fair value and for the payments to the joint venture partner less than or in excess of their pro rata share of net income.

The Company also presents FFO excluding financing expense in connection with Chandler Freehold.

FFO and FFO on a diluted basis are useful to investors in comparing operating and financial results between periods. This is especially true since FFO excludes real estate depreciation and amortization, as the Company believes real estate values fluctuate based on market conditions rather than depreciating in value ratably on a straight-line basis over time. The Company believes that such a presentation also provides investors with a meaningful measure of its operating results in comparison to the operating results of other REITs. In addition, the Company believes that FFO excluding financing expense in connection with Chandler Freehold ~~and non-routine costs associated with extinguishment of debt provide~~provides useful supplemental information regarding the Company’s performance as ~~they show~~it shows a more meaningful and consistent comparison of the Company’s operating performance and allows investors to more easily compare the Company’s results. The Company further believes that FFO on a diluted basis is a measure investors find most useful in measuring the dilutive impact of outstanding convertible securities.

The Company believes that FFO does not represent cash flow from operations as defined by GAAP, should not be considered as an alternative to net income as defined by GAAP, and is not indicative of cash available to fund all cash flow

~~Table of Contents~~

needs. The Company also cautions that FFO, as presented, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other real estate investment trusts.

Management compensates for the limitations of FFO by providing investors with financial statements prepared according to GAAP, along with this detailed discussion of FFO and a reconciliation of net (loss) income to FFO and FFO—diluted. Management believes that to further understand the Company's performance, FFO should be compared with the Company's reported net (loss) income and considered in addition to cash flows in accordance with GAAP, as presented in the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Company's primary market risk exposure is interest rate risk. The Company has managed and will continue to manage interest rate risk by (1) maintaining a ratio of fixed rate, long-term debt to total debt such that floating rate exposure is kept at an acceptable level, (2) reducing interest rate exposure on certain long-term floating rate debt through the use of interest rate caps and/or swaps with matching maturities where appropriate, (3) using treasury rate locks where appropriate to fix rates on anticipated debt transactions, and (4) taking advantage of favorable market conditions for long-term debt and/or equity.

The following table sets forth information as of March 31, ~~2022~~2023 concerning the Company's long-term debt obligations, including principal cash flows by scheduled maturity, weighted average interest rates and estimated fair value (dollars in thousands):

(1) On April 25, 2023, the Company's joint venture in Deptford Mall closed on a three-year maturity date extension for the existing loan to April 3, 2026, including extension options. The Company's joint venture repaid $10,000 ($5,100 at the Company's pro rata share) of the outstanding loan balance at closing. The interest rate on the loan remains unchanged at 3.73% (See “—Financing Activities” in Management’s Overview and Summary).

The Consolidated Centers' total fixed rate debt at ~~each of~~ March 31, ~~2022~~2023 and December 31, ~~2021~~2022 was ~~$3.8 billion.~~$3.9 billion and $3.7 billion, respectively. The average interest rate on the fixed rate debt at ~~each of~~ March 31, ~~2022~~2023 and December 31, ~~2021~~2022 was ~~3.94%.~~4.22% and 4.01%, respectively. The Consolidated Centers' total floating rate debt at ~~each of~~ March 31, ~~2022~~2023 and December 31, ~~2021~~2022 was ~~$695.9~~$456.3 million and ~~$738.9~~$700.7 million, respectively. The average interest rate on the floating rate debt at March 31, ~~2022~~2023 and December 31, ~~2021~~2022 was ~~2.74%~~6.69% and ~~2.61%~~6.53%, respectively.

The Company's pro rata share of the unconsolidated joint venture Centers' fixed rate debt at March 31, ~~2022~~2023 and December 31, ~~2021~~2022 was ~~$2.7~~$2.9 billion and ~~$2.8~~$2.7 billion, respectively. The average interest rate on the fixed rate debt at March 31, ~~2022~~2023 and December 31, ~~2021~~2022 was ~~3.82%~~4.77% and ~~3.83%~~4.46%, respectively. The Company's pro rata share of the unconsolidated joint venture Centers' floating rate debt at March 31, ~~2022~~2023 and December 31, ~~2021~~2022 was ~~$200.1~~$91.9 million and ~~$104.3~~$90.7 million, respectively. The average interest rate on the floating rate debt at March 31, ~~2022~~2023 and December 31, ~~2021~~2022 was ~~3.09%~~6.31% and ~~2.60%~~5.81%, respectively.

The Company uses derivative financial instruments in the normal course of business to manage or hedge interest rate risk and records all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. Interest rate cap agreements offer protection against floating rates on the notional amount from exceeding the rates noted in the above schedule, and interest rate swap agreements effectively replace a floating rate on the notional amount with a fixed rate as noted above. As of March 31, ~~2022,~~2023, the Company has ~~three~~ interest rate cap agreements in place (See Note 4—Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures and Note 5—Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities in the Company's Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements). The respective loans each require an interest rate cap agreement to be in place at all times, which limits how high the prevailing floating loan rate index (i.e., LIBOR

3739

Table of Contents

or SOFR) for the loans can rise. As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, LIBOR/SOFR for each of these loans exceeded the strike interest rate (the "Strike Rate") within the required interest rate cap agreement. If LIBOR/SOFR does exceed the Strike Rate, each of these loans would then be considered fixed rate debt. If LIBOR/SOFR for these respective loans thereafter no longer exceeds the Strike Rate, then these loans would once again be considered floating rate debt.

In addition, the Company has assessed the market risk for its floating rate debt and believes that a 1% increase in interest rates would decrease future earnings and cash flows by approximately ~~$9.0~~$5.5 million per year based on ~~$0.9 billion~~$548.3 million of floating rate debt outstanding at March 31, ~~2022.~~2023.

The fair value of the Company's long-term debt is estimated based on a present value model utilizing interest rates that reflect the risks associated with long-term debt of similar risk and duration. In addition, the method of computing fair value for mortgage notes payable included a credit value adjustment based on the estimated value of the property that serves as collateral for the underlying debt (See Note 10—Mortgage Notes Payable and Note 11—Bank and Other Notes Payable in the Company's Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements).

The ~~LIBOR benchmark has been the subject of national, international and other regulatory guidance and proposals for reform and replacement, with most~~Company expects that all LIBOR settings relevant to ~~the Company not expected~~it will cease to be published or will no longer be representative after June 30, 2023. As a result, any of the Company's LIBOR-based borrowings that extend beyond such date will need to be converted to a replacement rate. If a contract is not transitioned to an alternative variable rate and LIBOR is discontinued, the impact is likely to vary by contract. As of March 31, 2022, each of the agreements governing the Company's variable rate debt provides for the replacement of LIBOR if it becomes unavailable during the term of such agreement.

The discontinuation of LIBOR ~~will~~has not ~~affect~~affected the ~~Company's~~Company’s ability to borrow or maintain already outstanding borrowings or ~~swaps, but if~~hedging transactions. As of March 31, 2023, each of the ~~Company's contracts indexed to LIBOR, including certain contracts~~agreements governing the ~~Company's~~Company’s variable rate debt has been converted to a SOFR-based interest rate, with the ~~variable rate debt~~exception of the ~~Company's joint ventures and~~Santa Monica Place LIBOR-based loan. The Company has not incurred significant costs in completing such conversions to SOFR, nor have the Company's interest rate swaps, are converted to an alternative rate, the differences could result in interest costs that are higher than if LIBOR remained available. It is not yet possible to predict the magnitude of LIBOR’s end on the Company'sCompany’s borrowing costs ~~given~~changed significantly from such conversions. The Company is in the ~~remaining uncertainty about which rates~~process of converting the Santa Monica Place loan to SOFR, and expects to complete this conversion during the second quarter of 2023. The Company does not expect that the costs of converting the Santa Monica Place loan will ~~replace LIBOR.~~be significant, nor does it expect the borrowing costs on this loan to change significantly.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, management carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on their evaluation as of March 31, ~~2022,~~2023, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) were effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is (a) recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms and (b) accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

In addition, there has been no change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15(d)-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that occurred during the Company's most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
