EXPLANATORY NOTE

This report combines the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 20172018 of Kite Realty Group Trust, Kite Realty Group, L.P. and its subsidiaries. Unless stated otherwise or the context otherwise requires, references to "Kite Realty Group Trust" or the "Parent Company" mean Kite Realty Group Trust, and references to the "Operating Partnership" mean Kite Realty Group, L.P. and its consolidated subsidiaries. The terms "Company," "we," "us," and "our" refer to the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership, collectively, and those entities owned or controlled by the Parent Company and/or the Operating Partnership.

The Operating Partnership is engaged in the ownership and operation, acquisition, development and redevelopment of high-quality neighborhood and community shopping centers in select markets in the United States. The Parent Company is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership and as of June 30, 20172018 owned approximately 97.7%97.6% of the common partnership interests in the Operating Partnership (“General Partner Units”). The remaining 2.3%2.4% of the common partnership interests (“Limited Partner Units” and, together with the General Partner Units, the “Common Units”) were owned by the limited partners.

We believe combining the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q of the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership into this single report benefits investors by:
enhancing investors' understanding of the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership by enabling investors to view the business as a whole in the same manner as management views and operates the business;
eliminating duplicative disclosure and providing a more streamlined and readable presentation of information because a substantial portion of the Company's disclosure applies to both the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership; and
creating time and cost efficiencies through the preparation of one combined report instead of two separate reports.

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

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

Kite Realty Group Trust and Kite Realty Group, L.P. and subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 20172018
(Unaudited)
(in thousands, except share and per share data)
  
Note 1. Organization
 
Kite Realty Group Trust (the "Parent Company"), through its majority-owned subsidiary, Kite Realty Group, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”), owns interests in various operating subsidiaries and joint ventures engaged in the ownership and operation, acquisition, development and redevelopment of high-quality neighborhood and community shopping centers in select markets in the United States. The terms "Company," "we," "us," and "our" refer to the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership, collectively, and those entities owned or controlled by the Parent Company and/or the Operating Partnership.

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

The Parent Company is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, and as of June 30, 20172018 owned approximately 97.7%97.6% of the common partnership interests in the Operating Partnership (“General Partner Units”). The remaining 2.3%2.4% of the common partnership interests (“Limited Partner Units” and, together with the General Partner Units, the “Common Units”) were owned by the limited partners. As the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, the Parent Company has full, exclusive and complete responsibility and discretion in the day-to-day management and control of the Operating Partnership. The Parent Company and the Operating Partnership are operated as one enterprise. The management of the Parent Company consists of the same members as the management of the Operating Partnership. As the sole general partner with control of the Operating Partnership, the Parent Company consolidates the Operating Partnership for financial reporting purposes, and the Parent Company does not have any significant assets other than its investment in the Operating Partnership.

At June 30, 2017,2018, we owned interests in 117115 operating and redevelopment properties totaling approximately 23.122.5 million square feet. We also owned onetwo development projectprojects under construction as of this date. Of the 115 properties, 112 are consolidated in these financial statements and the remaining three are accounted for under the equity method.

Note 2. Basis of Presentation, Consolidation, Investments in Joint Ventures, and Noncontrolling Interests
 
We have prepared the accompanying unaudited financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) may have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the presentation not misleading.  The unaudited financial statements as of June 30, 20172018 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 20172018 and 20162017 include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary in the opinion of management to present fairly the financial information set forth therein.  The consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in the combined Annual Report on Form 10-K of the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership for the year ended December 31, 2016.2017. 

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and revenues and expenses during the reported period.  Actual results could differ from these estimates.  The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected on an annual basis.

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

The Operating Partnership accounts for properties that are owned by joint ventures in accordance with the consolidation guidance.  The Operating Partnership evaluates each joint venture and determines first whether to follow the VIE or the voting interest entity ("VOE") model. Once the appropriate consolidation model is identified, the Operating Partnership then evaluates whether it should consolidate the joint venture. Under the VIE model, the Operating Partnership consolidates an entity when it has (i) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance, and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. Under the VOE model, the Operating Partnership consolidates an entity when (i) it controls the entity through ownership of a majority voting interest if the entity is not a limited partnership or (ii) it controls the entity through its ability to remove the other partners or owners in the entity, at its discretion, when the entity is a limited partnership.
 
In determining whether to consolidate a VIE with the Operating Partnership, we consider all relationships between the Operating Partnership and the applicable VIE, including development agreements, management agreements and other contractual arrangements, in determining whether we have the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly affect the VIE's performance.  As of June 30, 2017,2018, we owned investments in three consolidated joint ventures that were VIEs in which the partners did not have substantive participating rights and we were the primary beneficiary.  As of this date, these VIEs had total debt of $238.8$205.8 million, which were secured by assets of the VIEs totaling $497.9$441.9 million.  The Operating Partnership guarantees the debts of these VIEs.

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

The Operating Partnership is considered a VIE as the limited partners do not hold kick-out rights or substantive participating rights. The Parent Company consolidates the Operating Partnership as it is the primary beneficiary in accordance with the VIE model.

Income Taxes and REIT Compliance

Parent Company

The Parent Company, which is considered a corporation for federal income tax purposes, has been organized and intends to continue to operate in a manner that will enable it to maintain its qualification as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. As


a result, it generally will not be subject to federal income tax on the earnings that it distributes to the extent it distributes its “REIT taxable income” (determined before the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gains) to shareholders of the Parent Company and meets certain other requirements on a recurring basis. To the extent that it satisfies this distribution requirement, but distributes less than 100% of its taxable income, it will be subject to federal corporate income tax on its undistributed REIT taxable income. REITs are subject to a number of organizational and operational requirements. If the Parent Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, it will be subject to federal income tax on its taxable income at regular corporate rates for a period of four years following the year in which qualification is lost. We may also be subject to certain federal, state and local taxes on our income and property and to federal income and excise taxes on our undistributed taxable income even if the Parent


Company does qualify as a REIT. The Operating Partnership intends to continue to make distributions to the Parent Company in amounts sufficient to assist the Parent Company in adhering to REIT requirements and maintaining its REIT status.

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

Operating Partnership

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

Noncontrolling Interests

We report the non-redeemable noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries as equity, and the amount of consolidated net income attributable to these noncontrolling interests is set forth separately in the consolidated financial statements.  The non-redeemable noncontrolling interests in consolidated properties for the six months ended June 30, 20172018 and 20162017 were as follows:

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests - Limited Partners

Limited Partner Units are redeemable noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership. We classify redeemable noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets outside of permanent equity because we may be required to pay cash to holders of Limited Partner Units upon redemption of their interests in the Operating Partnership or deliver registered shares upon their conversion.  The carrying amount of the redeemable noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership is reflected at the greater of historical book value or redemption value with a corresponding adjustment to additional paid-in capital. At June 30, 2017,2018, the redemption value of the redeemable noncontrolling interests did not exceed the historical book value, and the balance was accordingly adjusted to historical book value. At December 31, 2016,2017, the redemption value of the redeemable noncontrolling interests exceeded the historical book value, and the balance was accordingly adjusted to redemption value.
  
We allocate net operating results of the Operating Partnership after noncontrolling interests in the consolidated properties based on the partners’ respective weighted average ownership interest.  We adjust the redeemable noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership at the end of each reporting period to reflect their interests in the Operating Partnership or redemption value.  This adjustment is reflected in our shareholders’ and Parent Company's equity.  For the three and six months ended June 30, 20172018 and 2016,2017, the weighted average interests of the Parent Company and the limited partners in the Operating Partnership were as follows:

Concurrent with the Parent Company’s initial public offering and related formation transactions, certain individuals received Limited Partner Units of the Operating Partnership in exchange for their interests in certain properties. The limited partners have the right to redeem Limited Partner Units for cash or, at the Parent Company's election, common shares of the Parent Company in an amount equal to the market value of an equivalent number of common shares of the Parent Company at the time of redemption. Such common shares must be registered, which is not fully in the Parent Company’s control. Therefore, the limited partners’ interest is not reflected in permanent equity. The Parent Company also has the right to redeem the Limited Partner Units directly from the limited partner in exchange for either cash in the amount specified above or a number of its common shares equal to the number of Limited Partner Units being redeemed.
 
There were 1,986,8302,066,849 and 1,942,3401,974,830 Limited Partner Units outstanding as of June 30, 20172018 and December 31, 2016,2017, respectively. The increase in Limited Partner Units outstanding from December 31, 20162017 is due to non-cash compensation awards made to our executive officers in the form of Limited Partner Units.

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests - Subsidiaries
  
Prior to the merger with Inland Diversified Real Estate Trust, Inc. ("Inland Diversified") in 2014, Inland Diversified formed joint ventures with the previous owners of certain properties and issued Class B units in three joint ventures that indirectly own those properties.  The Class B units related to two of these three joint ventures remain outstanding subsequent to the merger with Inland Diversified and are accounted for as noncontrolling interests in these properties.  A portion of theThe Class B units related to the Territory Portfolio joint venture became redeemable at ourthe respective partner’s election in March 2017 and theare discussed further below. The remaining Class B units relate to our Crossing at Killingly Commons joint venture will become redeemable at ourthe partner's election in October 2022 based on the applicable joint venture and the fulfillment of certain redemption criteria.  Beginning in December 2020 and November 2022, with respect to the applicable joint venture, the Class B units can be redeemed at the election of either of our partner or us for cash or Limited Partner Units in the Operating Partnership.  None of the issued Class B units have a maturity date, and none are mandatorily redeemable unless either party has elected for the units to be redeemed. We consolidate these joint ventures because we control the decision making of each of the joint ventures and our joint venture partners have limited protective rights.

WeIn February 2018, we received notice from one of our partners exercisingin the Territory Portfolio joint venture of their intent to exercise their right to redeem $8.3their remaining $22.0 million of their Class B units for cash. The amount that will be redeemed was reclassified from temporary equityLimited partners' interests in Operating Partnership and other redeemable noncontrolling interests to accounts payable and accrued expenses in the consolidated balance sheets. We expect to fundThe Company redeemed $10 million of the interest on August 7, 2018. The Company can determine the timing of the closing for the redemption using cash prior to December 27, 2017.for the remainder of the interest, but it must occur before November 8, 2018.

We classify the remainder of the redeemable noncontrolling interests in certain subsidiaries in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets outside of permanent equity because, under certain circumstances, we may be required to pay cash to Class B unitholders in specific subsidiaries upon redemption of their interests.  The carrying amount of these redeemable noncontrolling interests is required to be reflected at the greater of initial book value or redemption value with a corresponding adjustment to additional paid-in capital. As of both June 30, 20172018 and December 31, 2016,2017, the redemption amounts of these interests did not exceed thetheir fair value, of each interest, nor did they exceed the initial book value.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
  
Adoption of New Standards

In May 2014, the FinancialOn January 1, 2018, we adopted Accounting Standards BoardUpdate ("FASB"ASU") issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”). using the modified retrospective approach. ASU 2014-09 isrevised GAAP by offering a single comprehensive revenue recognition standard that will supersedesupersedes nearly all existing GAAP revenue recognition guidance. It will also affect the existing GAAP guidance governing the saleThe impacted revenue streams primarily consist of nonfinancial assets. The new standard’s core principle is that a company will recognize revenue when it satisfies performance obligations by transferring promised goods orfees earned from management, development services provided to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for fulfilling those performance obligations. In doing so, companies will need to exercise more judgmentthird parties, and make more estimates than under existing GAAP guidance.

With respect to full disposals, the recognition will generally be consistent with our current measurement and therefore, do not expectpattern of recognition. With respect to partial sales of real estate to joint ventures, the new standardguidance requires us to significantly impactrecognize a full gain where an equity investment is retained. These transactions could result in a basis difference as we will be required to measure our retained equity interest at fair value, whereas the recognitionjoint

The Company calculated the gain in accordance with ASC 606 and ASC 610-20 that requires full gain recognition upon deconsolidation of a nonfinancial asset. The properties were sold for public entities for annualan agreed upon value of $99.8 million.

For the six months ended June 30, 2017, restricted cash related to cash flows provided by operating activities of $1.1 million and restricted cash related to cash flows provided by investing activities of $1.4 million were reclassified. Restricted cash primarily relates to cash held in escrows for payments of real estate taxes and property reserves for maintenance, insurance, or tenant improvements as required by our mortgage loans.

New Standards Issued but Not Yet Adopted

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases. ASU 2016-02 amends the existing accounting standards for lease accounting, including requiring lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets and making certain changes to lessor accounting, including the accounting for sales-type and direct financing leases. ASU 2016-02 will be effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The new standard requires a modified retrospective transition approach for all leases existing at, or entered into after, the date of initial application, with an option to use certain transition relief. As a resultBecause of the adoption of ASU 2016-02, we expect common area maintenance reimbursements that are of a fixed nature to be recognized on a straight linestraight-line basis over the term of the lease as these tenant reimbursements will be considered a non-lease component and will be subject to ASU 2014-09. We also expect to recognize right of use assets on our balance sheet related to certain ground leases where we are the lessee. Upon adoption of the standard, we anticipate recognizing a right of use asset currently estimated to be between $35 million and $40 million. In addition to evaluating the impact of adopting the new accounting standard will have on our consolidated financial statements, we are performing an inventory ofevaluating our existing lease contracts, evaluating our current and potentialfuture information system capabilities, and evaluating our current compensation structure.other variables.

In July 2018, the FASB amended the new leases standard to approve a new transition method and lessor practical expedient for separating lease and non-lease components. This permits lessors to make an accounting policy election to not separate non-lease components, such as common area maintenance, of a contract from the leases to which they relate when specific criteria are met.



The new leasing standard also amends ASC 340-40, Other Assets and Deferred Costs - Contracts with Customers. Under ASC 340-40, incremental costs of obtaining a contract are recognized as an asset if the entity expects to recover them, which will reduce the leasing costs currently capitalized. Upon adoption of the new standard, we expect ana reduction in certain capitalized costs and a corresponding increase in general, administrative, and other expense and a decrease in amortization expense on our consolidated statement of operations, but the magnitude of that change is dependent upon the leasing compensation structure in place at the time of adoption.certain variables currently under evaluation.

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


 
Note 3. Earnings Per Share or Unit
  
Basic earnings per share or unit is calculated based on the weighted average number of common shares or units outstanding during the period.  Diluted earnings per share or unit is determined based on the weighted average common number of shares or units outstanding during the period combined with the incremental average common shares or units that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all potentially dilutive common shares or units into common shares or units as of the earliest date possible.
  
Potentially dilutive securities include outstanding options to acquire common shares; Limited Partner Units, which may be exchanged for either cash or common shares, at the Parent Company’s option and under certain circumstances; units granted under our Outperformance Incentive Compensation Plan ("Outperformance Plan"); and deferred common share units, which may be credited to the personal accounts of non-employee trustees in lieu of the payment of cash compensation or the issuance of common shares to such trustees.  Limited Partner Units have been omitted from the Parent Company’s denominator for the purpose of computing diluted earnings per share since the effect of including these amounts in the denominator would have no dilutive impact. WeightedApproximately 2.0 million weighted average Limited Partner Units were outstanding for both the six months ended June 30, 20172018 and 2016 were 2.0 million and 1.9 million, respectively.2017.

Approximately 0.1 million outstanding options to acquire common shares were excluded from the computations of diluted earnings per share or unit for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively because their impact was not dilutive. Due to the net loss allocable to common shareholders and Common Unit holders for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016,2018, no securities had a dilutive impact for these periods.this period.

Thesame day borrowings.  Under the Amended Credit Agreement, the Operating Partnership has the option to increase the borrowing availability of the unsecured revolving credit facilityRevolving Facility to $1.2 billion (increased from $1 billion andunder the option to increaseExisting Credit Agreement) upon the Term Loan to provide for an additional $200 million, in each caseOperating Partnership’s request, subject to certain conditions, including obtaining commitments from any one or more lenders. lenders, whether or not currently party to the Amended Credit Agreement, to provide such increased amounts.

 The Amendment extends the scheduled maturity date of the Revolving Facility from July 28, 2020 to April 22, 2022 (which maturity date may be extended for up to two additional periods of six months at the Operating Partnership’s option subject to certain conditions). Among other things, the Amendment also improves the Operating Partnership’s leverage ratio calculation by changing the definition of capitalization rate to six and one-half percent (6.5%) from six and three-fourths percent (6.75%), which increases the Operating Partnership’s total asset value as calculated under the Amended Credit Agreement.

As of June 30, 2017, $33.12018, $9.1 million was outstanding under the unsecured revolving credit facility.Credit Facility.  Additionally, we had letters of credit outstanding which totaled $5.4$4.1 million, against which no amounts were advanced as of June 30, 2017.2018.

The amount that we may borrow under our unsecured revolving credit facilityCredit Facility is limited by the value of the assets in our unencumbered asset pool.  As of June 30, 2017,2018, the value of the assets in our unencumbered asset pool, calculated pursuant to the Credit Facility agreement, was $426.7 million.

Senior Unsecured Notes

The Operating Partnership has $550 million of senior unsecured notes maturing at various dates through September 2027 (the "Notes").  The Notes contain a number of customary financial and restrictive covenants. As of June 30, 2017,2018, we were in compliance with all such covenants.
  
Other Debt Activity
  
For the six months ended June 30, 2017,2018, we had total new borrowings of $54.2$112.9 million and total repayments of $109.9$243.9 million.  In addition to the items mentioned above, the remaining components of this activity were as follows:   
We retired the $6.7$33.3 million loan secured by our Pleasant HillPerimeter Woods operating property through a draw on our Credit Facility; 
We retired the $33.0 million loan secured by our Killingly Commons operating property through a draw on our unsecured revolving credit facility (the "Credit Facility"); Credit Facility;
We retired the $4.3 million loan secured by our Whitehall Pike operating property and the $6.4 million loan secured by our Fishers Station redevelopment property utilizing cash flow from operations;
We borrowed $47.5$39.1 million on the Credit Facility to fund development activities, redevelopment activities, and tenant improvement costs;costs, and other working capital needs;
We used the $76.1$89.0 million of net proceeds from the formation of the TH Real Estate joint venture to pay down the Credit Facility;
We used the $63.0 million of net proceeds from the sale of fourtwo operating properties to pay down the Credit Facility; and
We made scheduled principal payments on indebtedness totaling $2.4$2.9 million.

Fair Value of Fixed and Variable Rate Debt
  
As of June 30, 2017,2018, the estimated fair value of our fixed rate debt was $1.2$1.1 billion compared to the book value of $1.1 billion.  The fair value was estimated using Level 2 and 3 inputs with cash flows discounted at current borrowing rates for similar instruments, which ranged from 3.78%4.21% to 6.78%4.69%.  As of June 30, 2017,2018, the fair value of variable rate debt was $583.0$482.8 million


compared to the book value of $547.1$482.9 million.  The fair value was estimated using Level 2 and 3 inputs with cash flows discounted at current borrowing rates for similar instruments, which ranged from 2.52%2.71% to 3.47%4.32%. 
 
Note 5. Derivative Instruments, Hedging Activities and Other Comprehensive Income
  
In order to manage potential future variable interest rate risk, we enter into interest rate derivative agreements from time to time.  All such agreements are designated as cash flow hedges. We do not use interest rate derivative agreements for trading or speculative purposes.  The agreements with each of our derivative counterparties provide that, in the event of default on any of our indebtedness, we could also be declared in default on our derivative obligations.  

As of June 30, 2017,2018, we were party to various cash flow derivative agreements with notional amounts totaling $460.8$378.5 million.  These derivative agreements effectively fix the interest rate underlying certain variable rate debt instruments over expiration dates through 2021.  Utilizing a weighted average interest rate spread over LIBOR on all variable rate debt resulted in fixing the weighted average interest rate at 3.12%3.55%.

These interest rate derivative agreements are the only assets or liabilities that we record at fair value on a recurring basis.  The valuation of these assets and liabilities is determined using widely accepted techniques including discounted cash flow analysis.  These techniques consider the contractual terms of the derivatives (including the period to maturity) and use observable market-based inputs such as interest rate curves and implied volatilities.  We also incorporate credit valuation adjustments into the fair value measurements to reflect nonperformance risk on both our part and that of the respective counterparties.

 We determined that the majority of the inputs used to value our derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, although the credit valuation adjustments associated with our derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by us and our counterparties.  As of June 30, 20172018 and December 31, 2016,2017, we assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of our derivative positions and determined the credit valuation adjustments were not significant to the overall valuation of our derivatives.  As a result, we determined our derivative valuations were classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
 
As of June 30, 2017,2018, the estimated fair value of our interest rate derivatives represented a net liabilityasset of $0.5 million, including accrued interest of $0.2$5.6 million.  As of June 30, 2017, $1.12018, $5.7 million was reflected in prepaid and other assets and $1.6$0.1 million was reflected in accounts payable and accrued expenses on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.  At December 31, 2016,2017, the estimated fair value of our interest rate hedges was a net liabilityasset of $2.2$2.4 million, including accrued interest of $0.4$0.1 million.  As of December 31, 2016, $0.92017, $3.1 million was reflected in prepaid and other assets and $3.1$0.7 million was reflected in accounts payable and accrued expenses on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
 
 Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income related to derivatives will be reclassified to earnings over time as the hedged items are recognized in earnings.  Approximately $1.7$0.1 million was reclassified as an increase to earnings during the six months ended June 30, 2018, and $2.1$1.7 million was reclassified as a reduction to earnings during the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.2017. As the interest payments on our hedges are made over the next 12 months, we estimate the increasedecrease to interest expense to be $0.6$2.3 million, assuming the current LIBOR curve. 

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

Distribution Payments
  
Our Board of Trustees declared a cash distribution of $0.3025$0.3175 per share for the second quarter of 20172018 to common shareholders and Common Unit holders of record as of July 6, 2017.2018. The distribution was paid on July 13, 2017.2018.

Note 7. Deferred Costs and Intangibles, net

Note 9. Commitments and Contingencies
  
Other Commitments and Contingencies
  
We are not subject to any material litigation nor, to management’s knowledge, is any material litigation currently threatened against us. We are parties to routine litigation, claims, and administrative proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business.  Management believes that such matters will not have a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows taken as a whole.
  
We are obligated under various completion guarantees with certain lenders and lease agreements with tenants to complete all or portions of the development and redevelopment projects.  We believe we currently have sufficient financing in place to fund these projects and expect to do so primarily through borrowings on the Credit Facility.

In connection with the joint venture formed for the development of the Embassy Suites at the University of Notre Dame, we provided a repayment guaranty on a $33.8 million construction loan, of which our unsecured revolving credit facility.share is $11.8 million. The outstanding loan balance as of June 30, 2018 is $22.2 million and our share is $7.8 million. 
   
As of June 30, 2017,2018, we had outstanding letters of credit totaling $5.4$4.1 million.  At that date, there were no amounts advanced against these instruments.


  
Note 10. Disposals of Operating Properties and Related Recording of Impairment ChargeCharges
 
During the three months ended June 30, 2018, we contributed our Livingston Shopping Center, Plaza Volente, and Tamiami Crossing operating properties to the TH Real Estate joint venture (see Note 2) for an agreed upon value of $99.8 million in exchange for a 20% ownership interest and $89.0 million in net proceeds that resulted in a net gain of $7.8 million.

The Company calculated the gain in accordance with ASC 606 and ASC 610-20 that require full gain recognition upon deconsolidation of a nonfinancial asset. This gain was calculated as the fair value of the properties (based upon the sales price for the 80% of interests) less the aggregate carrying value. The retained 20% equity method investment was recorded at fair value as of the transaction date of June 29, 2018, or $10.0 million. Our share of income from this investment was not material to the period ended June 30, 2018.

As of June 30, 2018, in connection with the preparation and review of the financial statements required to be included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we evaluated two properties for impairment and recorded a $14.8 million impairment charge due to changes during the quarter in facts and circumstances underlying the Company's expected future hold period of these properties. A shortening of an expected future hold period is considered an impairment indicator under applicable accounting rules, and this indicator caused us to further evaluate the carrying value of these properties. We concluded the estimated undiscounted cash flows over the expected holding period did not exceed the carrying value of these assets, leading to the charge during the quarter. We estimated the fair value using Level 3 inputs within the fair value hierarchy, primarily using the market approach. We compared the estimated aggregate fair value of $30.4 million to the carrying values, which resulted in the recording of a non-cash impairment charge of $14.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018.

During the three months ended March 31, 2018, we sold our Trussville Promenade operating property in Birmingham, Alabama, and our Memorial Commons operating property in Goldsboro, North Carolina, for aggregate gross proceeds of $63.0 million and a net gain of $0.5 million.



During the three months ended June 30, 2017, we sold our Clay Marketplace operating property in Birmingham, Alabama, our Shops at Village Walk operating property in Fort Myers, Florida, and our Wheatland Towne Crossing operating property in Dallas, Texas for aggregate gross proceeds of $54.6 million and a net gain of $6.3 million.million

During the three months ended March 31, 2017, we sold our Cove Center operating property in Stuart, Florida, for gross proceeds of $23.1 million and a net gain of $8.9 million.

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

In connection with the preparation and review of the March 31, 2017 financial statements, we evaluated an operating property for impairment due to the shortening of the intended holding period. We concluded the estimated undiscounted cash flows over the expected holding period did not exceed the carrying value of the asset. The Company estimated the fair value of the property to be $26.0 million using Level 3 inputs within the fair value hierarchy, primarily using the market approach. We compared the fair value measurement to the carrying value, which resulted in the recording of a non-cash impairment charge of $7.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017.

The net increase of $3.3$1.3 million in rental income for properties fully operational during 20162017 and 20172018 is primarily attributable to an increaseaccelerated amortization of below market deferred revenue for certain anchor tenants. Contractual rent remained relatively flat quarter over quarter as increases in rental rates and an increasesmall shop occupancy were offset by decreases in economicanchor occupancy percentage, which leads to more tenants paying rent. The increase in the economic occupancy percentage is primarily due to multiplecertain anchor and small shop tenants opening as we completed various developments and redevelopments including Petco at Hitchcock Plaza, Petsmart at Tarpon Bay Plaza, Buy Buy Baby and DSW at Cool Springs Market, Five Below at Shops at Moore and new small shop buildings at Castleton Crossing and Portofino Shopping Center subsequent to June 30, 2016.

The increase in rental rates is evidenced by the average rent for new comparable leases signed in the second quarter of 2017 increasing to $25.27 per square foot compared to average expiring rent of $21.52 per square foot. The average rent for renewals signed in the second quarter of 2017 was $15.20 per square foot compared to average expiring rent of $14.07 per square foot in that quarter. Our same property economic occupancy improved to 93.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2017 from 92.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2016.

The $1.0 million net increase in depreciation and amortization for properties under redevelopment during 2016 and 2017 is primarily due to $1.0 million of accelerated depreciation due to the demolition of a building at our Fishers Station redevelopment property in preparation for the construction of the space for the replacement anchor tenant. The net decrease of $1.2$1.8 million in depreciation and amortization at properties fully operational during 20162017 and 20172018 is primarily due to accelerated depreciation and amortization on tenant-specific assets caused by tenants vacating prior to their lease expiration in 2016,2017, compared to the same period in 2017.2018.
  
Interest expense increased $0.9As of June 30, 2018, in connection with the preparation and review of the financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we evaluated two properties for impairment and recorded a $14.8 million or 6.0%. The increase isimpairment charge due to securing longer-term fixed rate debt throughchanges during the issuancequarter in facts and circumstances underlying the Company’s expected future hold period of senior unsecured notesthese properties.  A shortening of an expected future hold period is considered an impairment indicator under applicable accounting rules, and this indicator caused us to further evaluate the carrying value of these properties. We concluded the estimated undiscounted cash flows over the expected holding period did not exceed the carrying value of these assets, leading to the charge during the quarter. We estimated the fair value using Level 3 inputs within the fair value hierarchy, primarily using the market approach. We compared the estimated aggregate fair value of $30.4 million to the carrying values, which resulted in the third quarter of 2016 that carried higher interest rates than the variable rate on our


unsecured revolving credit facility, which was paid down with the proceeds. The increase is also due to certain development projects, including Tamiami Crossing, Parkside Town Commons - Phase II and Holly Springs Towne Center - Phase II becoming operational throughout 2016. As a portionrecording of a development project becomes operational, we cease capitalizationnon-cash impairment charge of the related interest expense.

Income tax expense of our taxable REIT subsidiary decreased $0.3$14.8 million primarily due to the decrease in gains on sales of residential units at Eddy Street Commons. The last of the units in Phase I were sold in 2016.

We recorded a net gain of $6.3 million from the sales of our Clay Marketplace, The Shops at Village Walk and Wheatland Towne Crossing operating properties duringfor the three months ended June 30, 2017.2018.

Interest expense increased $0.3 million or 1.9%. The increase is primarily due to the accelerated write-off of loan fees related to certain loans that were repaid prior to the maturity dates.

Net Operating Income and Same Property Net Operating Income
  
We use property net operating income (“NOI”), a non-GAAP financial measure, to evaluate the performance of our properties. We define NOI as income from our real estate, including lease termination fees received from tenants, less our property operating expenses. NOI excludes amortization of capitalized tenant improvement costs and leasing commissions and certain corporate level expenses. We believe that NOI is helpful to investors as a measure of our operating performance because it excludes various items included in net income that do not relate to or are not indicative of our operating performance, such as depreciation and amortization, interest expense, and impairment, if any.

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

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



When evaluating the properties that are included in the same property pool, we have established specific criteria for determining the inclusion of properties acquired or those recently under development. An acquired property is included in the same property pool when there is a full quarter of operations in both years subsequent to the acquisition date. Development and redevelopment properties are included in the same property pool four full quarters after the properties have been transferred to the operating portfolio. A redevelopment property is first excluded from the same property pool when the execution of a redevelopment plan is likely and we begin recapturing space from tenants. For the three and six months ended June 30, 20172018 and 2016,2017, we excluded eightseven redevelopment properties and the recently completed Northdale Promenade, Burnt Store Marketplace, and Parkside Town Commons - Phase II from the same property pool that met these criteria and were owned in both comparable periods.pool.

Our Same Property NOI increased 3.2%1.5% for both the three and six months ended June 30, 20172018 compared to the same periodperiods of the prior year. This increase was primarily due to increases in rental rates and an improvementdriven by increased shop leasing activity. This increase was partially offset by a decline in economic occupancy caused by the completion of several 3-R projects since the second quarter of 2016. We also realized a $0.1 million improvement from expense control and operating expense recovery resulting in an improvement in net recoveries for the six months ended June 30, 2017.recent anchor vacancies.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Overview
  
Our primary finance and capital strategy is to maintain a strong balance sheet with sufficient flexibility to fund our operating and investment activities in a cost-effective manner. We consider a number of factors when evaluating our level of indebtedness


and when making decisions regarding additional borrowings or equity offerings, including the estimated value of properties to be developed or acquired, the estimated market value of our properties and the Company as a whole upon placement of the borrowing or offering, and the ability of particular properties to generate cash flow to cover debt service. We will continue to monitor the capital markets and may consider raising additional capital through the issuance of our common or preferred shares, unsecured debt securities, or other securities.
  
Our Principal Capital Resources
  
For a discussion of cash generated from operations, see “Cash Flows,” beginning on page 36.  In addition to cash generated from operations, we discuss below our other principal capital resources.

The increased operating cash flows of the Company have substantially enhanced our liquidity position and reduced our borrowing costs.
We continue to focus on a balanced approach to growth, enhancing our liquidity positions, reducing our borrowing costs and staggering debt maturities in order to retain our financial flexibility.

As of June 30, 2017,2018, we had approximately $388.2$459.1 million available under our unsecured revolving credit facility for future borrowings based on the unencumbered property pool allocated to the unsecured revolving credit facility.  We also had $27.6$32.4 million in cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2017.2018.
  
We were in compliance with all applicable financial covenants under our unsecured revolving credit facility, our unsecured term loans and our senior unsecured notes as of June 30, 2017.2018.

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

We currently have an at-the-market equity program that allows the Parent Company to issue new common shares from time to time, with an aggregate offering price of up to $250.0 million. We have $245.9 million remaining available for future common share issuances under our current at-the-market equity program.
In the future, we will continue to monitor the capital markets and may consider raising additional capital through the issuance of our common shares, preferred shares or other securities. We may also raise capital by disposing of properties, land parcels or other assets that are no longer core components of our growth strategy.assets.  The sale price may differ from our carrying value at the time of sale.

We derive the majority of our revenue from tenants who lease space from us at our properties. Therefore, our ability to generate cash from operations is dependent on the rents that we are able to charge and collect from our tenants. While we believe that the nature of the properties in which we typically invest-primarily neighborhood and community shopping centers-providesinvest provides a relatively stable revenue flow, in uncertain economic times, the recentan economic downturn could adversely affectedaffect the ability of some of our tenants to meet their lease obligations.
   
Our Principal Liquidity Needs

Short-Term Liquidity Needs
  
Near-Term Debt Maturities. As of June 30, 2017,2018, we do not have any securedhad no debt scheduled to mature prior to June 30, 2018,2019, excluding scheduled monthly principal payments. We believe we have sufficient liquidity to repay these obligations from cash flows generated from operations.
  
Other Short-Term Liquidity Needs.  The requirements for qualifying as a REIT and for a tax deduction for some or all of the dividends paid to shareholders necessitate that we distribute at least 90% of our taxable income on an annual basis. Such requirements cause us to have substantial liquidity needs over both the short term and the long term. Our short-term liquidity needs consist primarily of funds necessary to pay operating expenses associated with our operating properties, interest expense and scheduled principal payments on our debt, expected dividend payments to our common shareholders and to Common Unit holders, and recurring capital expenditures.



In May 2017,2018, our Board of Trustees declared a cash distribution of $0.3025$0.3175 per common share and Common Unit for the second quarter of 2017.2018. This distribution was paid on July 13, 20172018 to common shareholders and Common Unit holders of record as of July 6, 2017.2018. Future distributions, if any, are at the discretion of the Board of Trustees.

Other short-term liquidity needs include expenditures for tenant improvements, external leasing commissions and recurring capital expenditures.  During the six months ended June 30, 2017,2018, we incurred $1.2$2.1 million of costs for recurring capital expenditures on operating properties and also incurred $11.1$7.0 million of costs for tenant improvements and external leasing commissions (excluding development and redevelopment properties). We currently anticipate incurring approximately $14 million to $16 million of additional major tenant improvements and renovation costs within the next 12 months at a number of our operating properties.

We received notice from one set of our joint venture partners exercising itstheir right to redeem $8.3$22.0 million of itstheir noncontrolling interests that became redeemable in March 2017.interests. We expectare required to fund $10.0 million of this redemption prior to August 8, 2018. We are required to fund the remaining $12.0 million of the redemption using cash prior to December 27, 2017.November 8, 2018. See further discussion in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements.
 
As of June 30, 2017,2018, we had onetwo development projectprojects under construction.  TheOur share of the total estimated cost of this projectthese projects is approximately $2.7$24.7 million, of which $0.2$15.9 million had been incurred as of June 30, 2017.2018.  We currently anticipate incurring


the majority of the remaining $2.5$8.8 million of costs over the next 12 to 18 months.  We believe we currently have sufficient financing in place to fund the projectthese projects and expect to do so through cash flow from operations, borrowings on project-specific construction loan, or borrowings on our unsecured revolving credit facility.

We have sevenfour properties in our 3-R initiative that are currently under construction. Total estimated costs of this construction are expected to be in the range of $68.5$36.5 million to $74.0$40.0 million and are expected to be incurred through the middleend of 2018. We expect to be able to fund the majority of these costs from operating cash flows.
 
Long-Term Liquidity Needs
  
Our long-term liquidity needs consist primarily of funds necessary to pay for any new development projects, redevelopment of existing properties, non-recurring capital expenditures, acquisitions of properties, and payment of indebtedness at maturity.
  
Potential Redevelopment, Reposition, Repurpose Opportunities. We are currently evaluating additional redevelopment, repositioning, and repurposing of several other operating properties as part of our 3-R initiative. Total estimated costs of these properties are currently expected to be in the range of $65$40 million to $85$56 million. We believe we will have sufficient funding for these projects through cash flow from operations and borrowings on our unsecured revolving credit facility. 
 
Selective Acquisitions, Developments and Joint Ventures. We may selectively pursue the acquisition and development of other properties, which would require additional capital.  It is unlikely that we would have sufficient funds on hand to meet these long-term capital requirements.  We would have to satisfy these needs through additional borrowings, sales of common or preferred shares, issuance of Operating Partnership units, cash generated through property dispositions or future property acquisitions and/or participation in joint venture arrangements.  We cannot be certain that we would have access to these sources of capital on satisfactory terms, if at all, to fund our long-term liquidity requirements.  We evaluate all future opportunities against pre-established criteria including, but not limited to, location, demographics, expected return, tenant credit quality, tenant relationships, and amount of existing retail space.  Our ability to access the capital markets will be dependent on a number of factors, including general capital market conditions.

1This presentation reflectsThe Company has the Company's exercise of its option to extend the maturity date by one year to July 28, 2021 forApril 22, 2023 of the Company's unsecured credit facility. The ability to exercise this option is subject to certain conditions, which the Company does not unilaterally control.

Failure to comply with our obligations under our indebtedness agreements (including our payment obligations) could cause an event of default under such debt, which, among other things, could result in the loss of title to assets securing such debt, the acceleration of principal and interest payments or the termination of the debt facilities, or exposure to the risk of foreclosure.  In addition, certain of our variable rate loans contain cross-default provisions which provide that a violation by us of any financial covenant set forth in our unsecured revolving credit facility agreement will constitute an event of default under the loans, which could allow the lenders to accelerate the amounts due under our indebtedness agreements if we fail to satisfy these financial covenants.  See “Item 1.A Risk Factors – Risks Related to Our Operations” in Kite Realty Group Trust's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20162017 for more information related to the risks associated with our indebtedness.

Impact of Changes in Credit Ratings on Our Liquidity



We have been assigned investment grade corporate credit ratings from two nationally recognized credit rating agencies. These ratings remain unchanged as of June 30, 2017.2018.

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

Cash Flows
  
As of June 30, 2017,2018, we had cash, and cash equivalents, and restricted cash on hand of $27.6$43.3 million. We may be subject to concentrations of credit risk with regard to our cash and cash equivalents.  We place our cash and short-term cash investments with highly rated financial institutions.  While we attempt to limit our exposure at any point in time, occasionally, such cash and investments may temporarily be in excess of FDIC and SIPC insurance limits.  We also maintain certain compensating balances in several financial institutions in support of borrowings from those institutions.  Such compensating balances were not material to the consolidated balance sheets.
    
Comparison of the Six Months Ended June 30, 20172018 to the Six Months Ended June 30, 20162017
  
Cash provided by operating activities was $81.1$82.0 million and $82.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, an increase of $0.2 millionrespectively.  The cash flows were positively impacted from the same period of 2016.  The increase was primarily due to an improvement in the collection of outstanding account receivables, the completion of several 3-R projects and higher revenue on sales of undepreciated assets in 2017, partiallyimproved shop occupancy. These increases were offset by a decrease in cash provided by operating activities due to our 2017 and 2018 property sales.sales and higher anchor vacancy.
  
Cash provided by investing activities was $39.5$118.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017,2018, as compared to cash used inprovided by investing activities of $44.8$38.1 million in the same period of 2016.2017.  Highlights of significant cash sources and uses in investing activities are as follows:


  
Net proceeds of $76.1$151.5 million related to the sale of Cove CenterTrussville Promenade and Memorial Commons in March 2017the first quarter of 2018 and Clay Marketplace, The Shops at Village Walk and Wheatland Towne Crossingcontribution of properties to the TH Real Estate joint venture in June 2017,the second quarter of 2018, compared to net proceeds of $0.1$76.1 million over the same period in 2016;2017, which related to the sale of Cove Center;

DecreaseIncrease in capital expenditures of $9.3$1.7 million partially offset by a decreaseand an increase in construction payables of $1.6$1.2 million.  In 2017, we incurred additional construction costs at oursubstantially completed Parkside Towne Commons - Phase II, andthe expansion of Holly Springs Towne Center - Phase II, development projects, and additional construction costs at several of ourmultiple other redevelopment properties.

Cash used in financing activities was $112.9$189.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017,2018, compared to cash used in financing activities of $32.1$112.9 million in the same period of 2016.2017.  Highlights of significant cash sources and uses in financing activities during the first six months of 20172018 are as follows:
  
We retired the $6.7$33.3 million loan secured by our Pleasant HillPerimeter Woods operating property using a draw on the unsecured revolving credit facility;

We retired the $33.0 million loan secured by our Killingly Commons operating property using a draw on the unsecured revolving credit facility;

We borrowed $47.5$39.1 million on the unsecured revolving credit facility to fund development activities, redevelopment activities, and tenant improvement costs;

We used the $76.1$89.0 million of net proceeds from the contribution of three operating properties to the TH Real Estate joint venture to pay down the unsecured revolving credit facility;

We used the $63.0 million of proceeds from the sale of fourtwo operating properties to pay down the unsecured revolving credit facility; and

We made distributions to common shareholders and Common Unit holders of $52.6$55.1 million.

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


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

Considering the nature of our business as a real estate owner and operator, we believe that FFO is helpful to investors in measuring our operational performance because it excludes various items included in net income that do not relate to or are not indicative of our operating performance, such as gains or losses from sales of depreciated property and depreciation and amortization, which can make periodic and peer analyses of operating performance more difficult. For informational purposes, we have also provided FFO adjusted for transaction costs and a severance charge in 2016. We believe this supplemental information provides a meaningful measure of our operating performance. We believe our presentation of FFO, as adjusted, provides investors with another financial measure that may facilitate comparison of operating performance between periods and among our peer companies. FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income (determined in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of our financial performance, is not an alternative to cash flow from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of our liquidity, and is not indicative of funds available to satisfy our cash needs, including our ability to make distributions. Our computation of FFO may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs that do not define the term in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or that interpret the current NAREIT definition differently than we do.

Our calculations of FFO1 and reconciliation to consolidated net income and FFO, as adjusted for the three and six months ended June 30, 20172018 and 20162017 (unaudited) are as follows:

1“FFO of the Operating Partnership" measures 100% of the operating performance of the Operating Partnership’s real estate properties. “FFO attributable to Kite Realty Group Trust common shareholders” reflects a reduction for the redeemable noncontrolling weighted average diluted interest in the Operating Partnership.

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


do. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Annualized Adjusted EBITDA do not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP, and should not be considered alternatives to net income as an indicator of performance or as alternatives to cash flows from operating activities as an indicator of liquidity.

Considering the nature of our business as a real estate owner and operator, we believe that EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and the ratio of Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA are helpful to investors in measuring our operational performance because they exclude various items included in net income that do not relate to or are not indicative of our operating performance, such as gains or losses from sales of depreciated property and depreciation and amortization, which can make periodic and peer analyses of operating performance more difficult. For informational purposes, we have also provided Annualized Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted as described above. We believe this supplemental information provides a meaningful measure of our operating performance. We believe presenting EBITDA and the related measures in this manner allows investors and other interested parties to form a more meaningful assessment of our operating results.
  
The following table presents a reconciliation of our EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Annualized Adjusted EBITDA to consolidated net income (the most directly comparable GAAP measure) and a calculation of Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA.

____________________
1Relates to (a) a reduction reflecting the second quarter GAAP operating income of $0.8 million for properties sold during the second quarter of 2017, which adjustment to EBITDA (an income measure) corresponds with the use of proceeds from such sales to pay down the Credit Facility, as reflected in the change in net debt (a balance sheet measure) for the period ending June 30, 2017, and (b) a reduction of approximately $2.6 million in other property related revenue to normalize the impact on comparability of a $4.9 million net gain from the sale of an outlot at Cove Center during the second quarter of 2017 to the Company's quarterly average of other property related revenue.
2Represents Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 20172018 (as shown in the table above) multiplied by four. 
32Partner share of consolidated joint venture debt is calculated based upon the partner's pro-rata ownership of the joint venture, multiplied by the related secured debt balance. In all cases, this debt is the responsibility of the consolidated joint venture.
3Relates to current quarter GAAP operating income, annualized, for properties sold during the quarter and a reduction to normalize other property related revenue to historical run rate.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
  
We do not currently have any off-balance sheet arrangements that in our opinion have, or are reasonably likely to have, a material current or future effect on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.  We do, however, have certain obligations related to some of the projects in our operating and development properties.

Contractual Obligations
  
Except with respect to our debt maturities as discussed on pagepages 35 and 36, there have been no significant changes to our contractual obligations disclosed in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.2017.  

Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
 
Market Risk Related to Fixed and Variable Rate Debt
  
We had $1.7$1.6 billion of outstanding consolidated indebtedness as of June 30, 20172018 (exclusive of net premiums and issuance costs, net of $1.1$4.3 million on acquired indebtedness). As of this date, we were party to various consolidated interest rate hedge agreements totaling $460.8$378.5 million, with expiration dates through 2021.  Reflecting these hedge agreements, our fixed and variable rate debt was $1.6$1.5 billion (95%(94%) and $0.1 billion (5%(6%), respectively, of our total consolidated indebtedness at June 30, 2017.2018.
 
As of June 30, 2017,2018, we do not have any fixed ratehad no debt maturing within the next twelve months.   A 100 basis point change in market interest rates would not materially impact the annual cash flows associated with this hedged debt.  A 100 basis100-basis point change in interest rates on our unhedged variable rate debt as of June 30, 20172018 would change our annual cash flow by $0.9$1.0 million.
