Substantially all of our business is conducted through Phillips Edison Grocery Center Operating Partnership I, L.P., (the “Operating Partnership”), a Delaware limited partnership formed in December 2009. We are a limited partner of the Operating Partnership, and our wholly ownedwholly-owned subsidiary, Phillips Edison Grocery Center OP GP I LLC, is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership.
We investare a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that invests primarily in well-occupied,omni-channel grocery-anchored neighborhood and community shopping centers that have a mix of creditworthy national, regional, and regionallocal retailers that sell necessity-based goods and services in strong demographic markets throughout the United States. In addition to managing our own shopping centers, our third-party investment management business provides comprehensive real estate and asset management services to two unconsolidated institutional joint ventures, in which we have a partial ownership interest, and one private fund (collectively, the “Managed Funds”) as of March 31, 2022.
As of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2022, we wholly-owned 269 real estate properties. Additionally, we owned a 14% interest in Grocery Retail Partners I LLC (“GRP I”), a joint venture that owned 20 properties, and a 20% equity interest in Necessity Retail Partners (“NRP”), a joint venture that owned 1 property.
Underwritten Initial Public Offering—On July 19, 2021, we closed our advisor was Phillips Edison NTR LLCunderwritten initial public offering (“PE-NTR”underwritten IPO”), through which was directly or indirectly owned by Phillips Edison Limited Partnership (“Phillips Edison sponsor” or “PELP”). Underwe issued 19.6 million shares, including the termsunderwriters’ overallotment election, of a new class of common stock, $0.01 par value per share, at an initial price to the public of $28.00 per share. As a result of the advisory agreement between PE-NTRunderwritten IPO, we received gross proceeds of $547.4 million.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Set forth below is a summary of the significant accounting estimates and us, PE-NTR was responsible forpolicies that management believes are important to the managementpreparation of our day-to-day activities and the implementation of our investment strategy.
As of September 30, 2017, we owned fee simple interests in 159 real estate properties acquired from third parties unaffiliated with us or PE-NTR.
On October 4, 2017, we completed a transaction to acquire certain real estate assets, the captive insurance company, and the third-party asset management business of our Phillips Edison sponsor in a stock and cash transaction (“PELP transaction”). Upon completion of the PELP transaction, our relationship with PE-NTR was terminated. For a more detailed discussion, see Notes 3 and 11.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
condensed consolidated interim financial statements. Certain of our accounting estimates are particularly important for an understanding of our financial position and results of operations and require the application of significant judgment by management. For example, significant estimates and assumptions have been made with respect to the useful lives of assets;assets, remaining hold periods of assets, recoverable amounts of receivables;receivables, and other fair value measurement assessments required for the preparation of the consolidated interim financial statements. As a result, these estimates are subject to a degree of uncertainty.
Other than those noted below, there have beenThere were no changes to our significant accounting policies during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017.March 31, 2022, except for those discussed below. For a full summary of our significant accounting policies, refer to our 20162021 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on March 9, 2017.February 16, 2022.
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation—The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Readers of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should refer to theour audited consolidated financial statements of Phillips Edison Grocery Center REIT I, Inc. for the year ended December 31, 2016,2021, which are included in our 20162021 Annual Report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the unaudited consolidated financial statements for the periods presented have been included in this Quarterly Report. Our results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results expected for the full year.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include our accounts and thosethe accounts of the Operating Partnership and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (over which we exercise financial and operating control). The financial statements of the Operating Partnership are prepared using accounting policies consistent with our majority-owned subsidiaries.accounting policies. All intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated upon consolidation.
Held for Sale Entities—We consider assetsThe basis of presentation of our shares of common stock is described as follows:
Reverse Stock Split—On July 2, 2021, our board of directors (the “Board”) approved an amendment to be held for sale when management believesour charter to effect a one-for-three reverse stock split. Concurrent with the reverse split, the Operating Partnership enacted a one-for-three reverse split of its outstanding Operating Partnership units (“OP units”). Unless otherwise indicated, the information in this Form 10-Q gives effect to the reverse stock and OP unit splits (see Note 9).
Recapitalization—On June 18, 2021, our stockholders approved an amendment to our charter (the “Articles of Amendment”) that effected a sale is probable within a year. This generally occurs when a sales contract is executed with no substantive contingencies and the prospective buyer has significant funds at risk. Assets that are classified as held for sale are recordedchange of each share of our common stock outstanding at the lowertime the amendment became effective into one share of their carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell.a newly created class of Class B common stock (the “Recapitalization”). The



Newly Adopted and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
The following table provides a brief description of recently issued accounting pronouncements that could have a material effect on our financial statements:
Standard
PHILLIPS EDISON & COMPANY
MARCH 31, 2022 FORM 10-Q
DescriptionDate of AdoptionEffect on the Financial Statements or Other Significant Matters
Accounting Standards Update “ASU” 2017-05, Other Income - Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets (Subtopic 610-20)This update amends existing guidance in order to provide consistency in accounting for the derecognition of a business or nonprofit activity. It is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, but early adoption is permitted.January 1, 2018We will adopt this standard concurrently with ASU 2014-09, listed below. We expect the adoption will impact our transactions that are subject to the amendments, which, although expected to be infrequent, would include a partial sale of real estate or contribution of a nonfinancial asset to form a joint venture.
ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230)This update amends existing guidance in order to clarify the classification and presentation of restricted cash on the statement of cash flows. It is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, but early adoption is permitted.January 1, 2018Upon adoption, we will include amounts generally described as restricted cash within the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts on the statement of cash flows rather than within an activity on the statement of cash flows.
ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230)This update addresses the presentation of eight specific cash receipts and cash payments on the statement of cash flows. It is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, but early adoption is permitted.January 1, 2018We are currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this standard will have on our consolidated financial statements. Of the eight specific cash receipts and cash payments listed within this guidance, we believe only two would be applicable to our business as it stands currently: debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs and proceeds from settlement of insurance claims. We will continue to evaluate the impact that adoption of the standard will have on our presentation of these and any other applicable cash receipts and cash payments.
ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842)This update amends existing guidance by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. This update is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, but early adoption is permitted.January 1, 2019We are currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this standard will have on our consolidated financial statements. We have identified areas within our accounting policies we believe could be impacted by the new standard. We expect to have a change in presentation on our consolidated statement of operations with regards to Tenant Recovery Income, which includes reimbursement amounts we receive from tenants for operating expenses such as real estate taxes, insurance, and other common area maintenance. Additionally, this standard impacts the lessor’s ability to capitalize certain costs related to the leasing of vacant space, which will result in a reduction in the amount of execution costs currently being capitalized in connection with leasing activities.
ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)This update outlines a comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. ASU 2014-09 states that “an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.” While ASU 2014-09 specifically references contracts with customers, it also applies to certain other transactions such as the sale of real estate or equipment. Expanded quantitative and qualitative disclosures are also required for contracts subject to ASU 2014-09. In 2015, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) provided for a one-year deferral of the effective date for ASU 2014-09, making it effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017.January 1, 2018Our revenue-producing contracts are primarily leases that are not within the scope of this standard. As a result, we do not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on our rental or reimbursement revenue. We currently plan to adopt this guidance on a modified retrospective basis.7




Articles of Amendment became effective on July 2, 2021. Unless otherwise indicated, all information in this Form 10-Q gives effect to the Recapitalization and references to “shares” and per share metrics refer to our common stock and Class B common stock, collectively. Our Class B common stock automatically converted into our publicly traded common stock on January 18, 2022 (see Note 9). Prior to the conversion, we have presented common stock and Class B common stock as separate classes within our consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of equity.
The following table providesIncome Taxes—Our consolidated financial statements include the operations of wholly-owned subsidiaries that have jointly elected to be treated as taxable REIT subsidiary entities and are subject to U.S. federal, state, and local income taxes at regular corporate tax rates. We recognized an insignificant amount of federal, state, and local income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, and we retain a brief descriptionfull valuation allowance for our deferred tax asset. All income tax amounts are included in Other Expense, Net on our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (“consolidated statements of operations”).
Newly Adopted Accounting Pronouncements—There were no newly adopted accounting pronouncements during the three months ended March 31, 2022 that impacted the Company.

3. LEASES
Lessor—The majority of our leases are largely similar in that the leased asset is retail space within our properties, and theirthe lease agreements generally contain similar provisions and features, without substantial variations. All of our leases are currently classified as operating leases. Lease income related to our operating leases was as follows (in thousands):

(4)Includes general reserves as well as adjustments for tenants not considered creditworthy for which we are recording revenue on a cash basis, per Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 842, Leases.
For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, we had net favorable changes to general reserves of $0.2 million and $2.3 million, respectively. Additionally, we had net unfavorable adjustments of $1.1 million and $4.0 million, respectively, related to monthly revenue for tenants that we deemed non-creditworthy and for which we were recording revenue on a cash basis.
Approximate future fixed contractual lease payments to be received under non-cancelable operating leases in effect as of March 31, 2022, assuming no new or renegotiated leases or option extensions on lease agreements, and including the impact of rent abatements and tenants who have been moved to the cash basis of accounting for revenue recognition purposes, are as follows (in thousands):

No single tenant comprised 10% or more of our financial statements:aggregate annualized base rent (“ABR”) as of March 31, 2022. As of March 31, 2022, our wholly-owned real estate investments in Florida and California represented 12.0% and 10.7% of our ABR, respectively. As a result, the geographic concentration of our portfolio makes it particularly susceptible to adverse weather or economic events in the Florida and California real estate markets.

ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815)This update amended existing guidance in order to better align a company’s financial reporting for hedging activities with the economic objectives of those activities.September 2017Upon adoption, we included a disclosure related to the effect of our hedging activities on our consolidated statements of operations.

4. REAL ESTATE ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business. This update amended existing guidance in order to clarify when an integrated set of assets and activities is considered a business. We adopted ASU 2017-01 on January 1, 2017, and applied it prospectively. Under this new guidance, most oftable summarizes our real estate acquisition activity is no longer considered a business combination and is instead classified as an asset acquisition. As a result, most acquisition-related costs that would have been recorded on our consolidated statements of operations(dollars in thousands):

As of September 30, 2017, none of our real estate acquisitions in 2017 met the definition of a business; therefore, we accounted for all as asset acquisitions.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we acquired six grocery-anchored shopping centers. Our first quarter acquisition closed out the Internal Revenue Service Code (“IRC”) reverse Section 1031 like-kind exchange outstanding as of December 31, 2016.

Real Estate Investments—The purchase prices of the investment properties, including related lease intangible assets and liabilities, were allocated at estimated fair value based on Level 3 inputs, such as discount rates, capitalization rates, comparable sales, replacement costs, income and expense growth rates, and current market rents and allowances as determined by management.
Mortgages and Loans Payable—We estimate the fair value of our debt by discounting the future cash flows of each instrument at rates currently offered for similar debt instruments of comparable maturities by our lenders using Level 3 inputs.  The discount rates used approximate current lending rates for loans or groups of loans with similar maturities and credit quality, assuming the debt is outstanding through maturity and considering the debt’s collateral (if applicable). We have utilized market information, as available, or present value techniques to estimate the amounts required to be disclosed.

Derivative InstrumentsAs of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we had interest rate swaps that fixed LIBOR on portions of our unsecured term loan facilities (“Term Loans”). For a more detailed discussion of these cash flow hedges, see Note 8. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we were also party to an interest rate swap that fixed the variable interest rate on $10.8 million and $11.0 million, respectively, of one of our mortgage notes. The change in fair value of this instrument is recorded in Other Income (Expense), Net on the consolidated statements of operations and was not material for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.
All interest rate swap agreements are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The valuation of these instruments is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses



observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities. The fair values of interest rate swaps are determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash receipts (or payments) and the discounted expected variable cash payments (or receipts). The variable cash payments (or receipts) are based on an expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate curves.
To comply with the provisions of ASC 820, we incorporate credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both our own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. In adjusting the fair value of our derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, we have considered the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral postings, thresholds, mutual puts, and guarantees.
Although we determined that the significant inputs used to value our derivatives fell within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with our counterparties and our own credit risk utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads, to evaluate the likelihood of default by us and our counterparties. However, as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we have assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of our derivative positions and have determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of our derivatives. As a result, we have determined that our derivative valuations in their entirety are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
We record derivative assets in Other Assets, Net and derivative liabilities in Accounts Payable and Other Liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. The fair value measurements of our derivative assets and liabilities as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, were as follows (in thousands):

7. DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives—We are exposed to certain risks arising from both our business operations and economic conditions. We principally manage our exposure to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of our core business activities. We manage economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity, and credit risk, primarily by managing the amount, sources, and duration of our debt funding, and through the use of derivative financial instruments. Specifically, we enter into interest rate swaps to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the receipt or payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the value of which are determined by interest rates. Our derivative financial instruments are used to manage differences in the amount, timing, and duration of our known or expected cash receipts and our known or expected cash payments principally related to our investments and borrowings.
Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk—Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for our making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount.
The changes in the fair value of derivatives designated, and that qualify, as cash flow hedges are recorded in AOCI and are subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. During the three

months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, such derivatives were used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with certain variable-rate debt. Amounts reported in AOCI related to these derivatives will be reclassified to Interest Expense, Net as interest payments are made on the variable-rate debt. During the next twelve months, we estimate that an additional $3.2 million will be reclassified from AOCI as an increase to Interest Expense, Net.

Credit-risk-related Contingent Features—We have agreements with our derivative counterparties that contain provisions where, if we default, or are capable of being declared in default, on any of our indebtedness, we could also be declared to be in default on our derivative obligations. As of March 31, 2022, the fair value of our derivatives in a net liability position, which included accrued interest but excluded any adjustment for nonperformance risk related to these agreements, was approximately $2.2 million. As of March 31, 2022, we had not posted any collateral related to these agreements and were not in breach of any agreement provisions. If we had breached any of these provisions, we could have been required to settle our obligations under the agreements at their termination value of $2.2 million.

The loan facility maturing in 2026 is secured by 16 properties. The loan facility maturing in 2027 is secured by separate mortgages on 14 properties.
As of September 30, 2017, approximately $12.6 million in deferred financing costs, which are included in Other Assets, Net on our consolidated balance sheet, were related to these refinancings.

7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Litigation
We are involved in various claims and litigation matters arising in the ordinary course of business, some of which involve claims for damages. Many of these matters are covered by insurance, although they may nevertheless be subject to deductibles or retentions. Although the ultimate liability for these matters cannot be determined, based upon information currently available, we believe the resolution of such claims and litigation will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements.
Environmental Matters
In connection with the ownership and operation of real estate, we may potentially be liable for costs and damages related to environmental matters. In addition, we may own or acquire certain properties that are subject to environmental remediation. Generally,Depending on the nature of the environmental matter, the seller of the property, thea tenant of the property, and/or another third party ismay be responsible for environmental


remediation costs related to a property. Additionally, in connection with the purchase of certain properties, the respective sellers and/or tenants may agree to indemnify us against future remediation costs. We also carry environmental liability insurance on our properties that provides limited coverage for any remediation liability and/or pollution liability for third-party bodily injury and/or property damage claims for which we may be liable. We are not aware of any environmental matters which we believe are reasonably likely to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Captive Insurance—Our captive insurance company, Silver Rock Insurance, Inc. (“Silver Rock”), provides general liability insurance, wind, reinsurance, and other coverage to us and certain related-party joint ventures. We capitalize Silver Rock in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements.
Silver Rock established annual premiums based on the past loss experience of the insured properties. An independent third party was engaged to perform an actuarial estimate of projected future claims, related deductibles, and projected future expenses necessary to fund associated risk management programs. Premiums paid to Silver Rock may be adjusted based on this estimate, and such premiums may be reimbursed by tenants pursuant to specific lease terms.
8. DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING ACTIVITIESAs of March 31, 2022, we had 4 letters of credit outstanding totaling approximately $9.0 million to provide security for our obligations under Silver Rock’s insurance and reinsurance contracts.

As of March 31, 2022, we have issued zero shares under the reversalATM program.
Reverse Stock Split—On July 2, 2021, we effected a one-for-three reverse stock split. Concurrent with the reverse split, the Operating Partnership enacted a one-for-three reverse split of its outstanding OP units. Neither the number of authorized shares nor the par value of the $1.3common stock were impacted. As a result of the reverse split, every three shares of our common stock or OP units were automatically combined and converted into one issued and outstanding share of common stock or OP unit rounded to the nearest 1/100th share. The reverse stock split impacted all common stock and OP units proportionately and had no impact on any stockholder’s percentage ownership of common stock.
Class B Common Stock—On June 18, 2021, our stockholders approved Articles of Amendment that effected the Recapitalization, wherein each share of our common stock outstanding at the time the amendment became effective was converted into 1 share of a newly created class of Class B common stock.
Our Class B common stock was identical to our common stock, except that it was not listed on a national securities exchange. Per the terms of the Recapitalization, on January 18, 2022, each share of our Class B common stock automatically converted into 1 share of our listed common stock.
On May 5, 2022, we filed Articles Supplementary to our charter with the Maryland State Department of Assessments and Taxation in order to reclassify and designate all of the 350 million cumulative ineffectiveness gainauthorized shares of our Class B common stock, $0.01 par value per share, all of which were unissued at such time, as shares of our common stock, $0.01 par value per share.
Underwritten IPO—On July 19, 2021, we completed an underwritten IPO and issued 17.0 million shares of common stock at an offering price to the public of $28.00 per share. We used a portion of the net proceeds to reduce our leverage and used the remaining amount to fund external growth with property acquisitions and for other general corporate uses. As part of the underwritten IPO, underwriters were granted an option exercisable within 30 days from July 14, 2021 to purchase up to an additional 2.6 million shares of common stock at the underwritten IPO price, less underwriting discounts and commissions. On July 29, 2021, the underwriters exercised their option. The underwritten IPO, including the underwriters’ overallotment election, resulted in gross proceeds of $547.4 million.
Distributions—Distributions paid to stockholders and OP unit holders of record subsequent to March 31, 2022 were as follows (dollars in thousands, excluding per share amounts):

OP unit holders will receive distributions at the same rate as common stockholders, subject to certain withholdings.
Convertible Noncontrolling Interests—As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2016, in the opening balance of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“AOCI”) with a corresponding adjustment to the opening balance of Accumulated Deficit as of the beginning of 2017.
Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives
We are exposed to2021, we had approximately 14.5 million and 13.4 million outstanding OP units, respectively. Additionally, certain risks arising from both our business operations and economic conditions. We principally manage our exposure to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of our core business activities. We manage economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity,outstanding restricted share and credit risk, primarily by managing the amount, sources, and duration of our debt funding and the use of derivative financial instruments. Specifically, we enter into interest rate swaps to manage exposures that arise from business activities thatperformance share awards will result in the receipt or paymentissuance of OP units upon vesting in future knownperiods.
Under the terms of the Fourth Amended and uncertain cash amounts,Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership, OP unit holders may elect to cause the valueOperating Partnership to redeem their OP units. The Operating Partnership controls the form of which are determined by interest rates. Our derivative financial instruments are usedthe redemption, and may elect to manage differences in the amount, timing, and durationredeem OP units for shares of our knowncommon stock, provided that the OP units have been outstanding for at least one year, or expected cash receiptsfor cash. As the form of redemption for OP units is within our control, the OP units outstanding as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 are classified as Noncontrolling Interests within permanent equity on our known or expected cash payments principally related to our investments and borrowings.consolidated balance sheets.
Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterpartyOn January 18, 2022, we issued approximately 1.6 million OP units in exchange for our making fixed-rate payments over the lifefull settlement of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount.earn-out liability (see note 12).
The changes in the fair value of derivatives designated, and that qualify, as cash flow hedges is recorded in AOCI and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, such derivatives were used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with certain variable-rate debt. The ineffectiveness previously reported in earnings for the quarters ended March 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017, was adjusted to reflect application of the provisions of ASU 2017-12 as of the beginning of 2017 (as discussed above). This adjustment was not material.
Amounts reported in AOCI related to these derivatives will be reclassified to Interest Expense, Net as interest payments are made on the variable-rate debt. During the next twelve months, we estimate that an additional $0.6 million will be reclassified from Other Comprehensive (Loss) Income as a decrease to Interest Expense, Net.

As of September 30, 2017, the fair value of our derivatives in a net liability position, which included accrued interest but excluded any adjustment for nonperformance risk related to these agreements, was approximately $0.1 million. As of September 30, 2017, we had not posted any collateral related to these agreements and were not in breach of any agreement provisions. If we had breached any of these provisions, we could have been required to settle our obligations under the agreements at their termination value of $0.1 million.

9. EQUITY
On November 8, 2017,April 29, 2021, our Board increased the estimated value per share (“EVPS”) of our common stock to $11.00$31.65 from $26.25 based substantially on the estimated market value of our portfolio of real estate properties and our recently acquired third-party assetinvestment management business as of October 5, 2017, the first full business day after the closing of the PELP transaction.March 31, 2021. We engaged a third-party valuation firm to provide a calculation of the range in estimated value per shareEVPS of our common stock as of October 5, 2017,March 31, 2021, which reflected certain pro forma balance sheet assets and liabilities as of that date. For
Dividend Reinvestment Plan and Share Repurchase Program (“SRP”)—On August 4, 2021, as a descriptionresult of our underwritten IPO, our Board approved the termination of the methodologyDRIP and assumptions used to determine the estimated value per share, see the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on November 9, 2017. Prior to November 8, 2017, the estimated value per share was $10.20 based substantially on the estimated market value of our portfolio of real estate properties as of March 31, 2017.
Dividend Reinvestment Plan—We have adopted a DRIP that allows stockholders to invest distributions in additional shares of our common stock. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, shares were issued under the DRIP at a price of $10.20 per share. In connection with the May announcement of the PELP transaction (see Note 3), the DRIP was suspended during May 2017; therefore, all DRIP participants received their May distribution, which was payable in June, in cash rather than in stock. The DRIP plan resumed in June 2017, with distributions payable in July 2017.
Share Repurchase Program—Our share repurchase program (“SRP”) provides an opportunity for stockholders to have shares of common stock repurchased, subject to certain restrictions and limitations. The cash available for repurchases on any particular date will generally be limited to the proceeds from the DRIP during the preceding four fiscal quarters, less amounts already used for repurchases since the beginning of that period. The Board reserves the right, in its sole discretion, at any time and from time to time, to reject any request for repurchase. In connection with the May announcement of the PELP transaction, the SRP was suspended during May 2017 and resumed in June 2017.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, repurchase requests surpassed the funding limits under the SRP. Due to the program’s funding limits, no funds will be available for the remainder of 2017. When we are unable to fulfill all repurchase requests in any month, we will honor requests on a pro rata basis to the extent possible. As of September 30, 2017, we had 9.8 million shares of unfulfilled repurchase requests, which will be treated as requests for repurchase during future months until satisfied or withdrawn. We continue to fulfill repurchases sought upon a stockholder’s death, “qualifying disability,” or “determination of incompetence” in accordance with the terms of the SRP.
Class B and Operating Partnership Units—The Operating Partnership issued limited partnership units that were designated as Class B units for asset management services provided by PE-NTR. In connection with the PELP transaction, Class B units


were no longer issued for asset management services subsequent to September 19, 2017. Upon closing of the transaction, all outstanding Class B units were vested and will be converted to OP units.
OP units may be exchanged at the election of the holder for cash or, at the option of the Operating Partnership, for shares of our common stock, under the terms of the Third Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership, provided, however, that the OP units have been outstanding for at least one year. As the form of the redemptions for the OP units is within our control, the OP units outstanding as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, are classified as Noncontrolling Interests within permanent equity on our consolidated balance sheets. Additionally, the cumulative distributions that have been paid on these OP units are included in Distributions to Noncontrolling Interests on the consolidated statements of equity.
In September 2017, we entered into an agreement with American Realty Capital II Advisors, LLC (“ARC”) to terminate all remaining contractual and economic relationships between us and ARC. In exchange for a payment of $9.6 million, ARC sold their OP units, unvested Class B Units, and their special limited partnership interests back to us, terminating all fee-sharing arrangements between ARC and PE-NTR. The 417,801 OP unit repurchase was recorded at a value of $4.2 million on the consolidated statement of equity. The $5.4 million value of the unvested Class B units, special limited partnership interests, and value of fee-sharing arrangements is recorded on the consolidated statement of operations.
Below is a summary of our number of outstanding OP units and unvested Class B units as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 (in thousands):

10. EARNINGS PER SHARE
We use the two-class method of computingBasic earnings per share (“EPS”), which is an earnings allocation formula that determines EPS for common stock and any participating securities according to dividends declared (whether paid or unpaid). Under the two-class method, basic EPS is computed by dividing the income availableNet Income Attributable to common stockholdersStockholders by the weighted-average
number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur from share equivalent activity.
Class B units and OP units held by limited partners other than us are considered to be participating securities because they contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents and they have the potential to be exchanged for shares of our common stock in accordance with the terms of the Partnership Agreement. The impact of these Class B units and OP units on basic and diluted EPS has been calculated using the two-class method whereby earnings are allocated to the Class B units and OP units based on dividends declared and the units’ participation rights in undistributed earnings. The effects of the two-class method on basic and diluted EPS were immaterial to the consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.
Since the OP units are fully vested, they were treated as potentially dilutive in the diluted earnings per share computations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016. There were 2.7 million and 2.5 million Class B units outstanding as of September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, that remained unvested and, therefore, were not included in the diluted earnings per share computations. Upon closing of the PELP transaction, all outstanding Class B units were converted to OP units.

11. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Economic Dependency—During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, we were dependent on PE-NTR, Phillips Edison & Company Ltd. (the “Property Manager”), and their respective affiliates for certain servicesinclude units that were essential to us, including asset acquisition and disposition decisions, asset management, operating and leasing of our properties, and other general and administrative responsibilities.
As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, PE-NTR owned 176,509 shares of ourare convertible into common stock or approximately 0.1%cash, at the Operating Partnership’s option. The Operating Partnership income or loss attributable to these OP units, which is included as a component of Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests on the consolidated statements of operations, has been added back in the numerator as these OP units were included in the denominator for all periods presented. OP units are allocated income on a consistent basis with the common stockholder and therefore have no dilutive impact to earnings per share of common stock.

Tax Protection Agreement—Through our outstanding common stock issued duringOperating Partnership, we are currently party to a tax protection agreement (the “2017 TPA”) with certain partners that contributed property to our initial public offering period. PE-NTR was not able to sell any of those shares while serving as our advisor.
Upon closing of the PELP transactionOperating Partnership on October 4, 2017, among them certain of our relationshipexecutive officers, including Jeffrey S. Edison, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, under which the Operating Partnership has agreed to indemnify such partners for tax liabilities that could accrue to them personally related to our potential disposition of certain properties within our portfolio. The 2017 TPA will expire on October 4, 2027. On July 19, 2021, we entered into an additional tax protection agreement (the “2021 TPA”) with PE-NTRcertain of our executive officers, including Mr. Edison. The 2021 TPA carries a term of four years and will become effective upon the expiration of the 2017 TPA. As of March 31, 2022, the potential “make-whole amount” on the estimated aggregate amount of built-in gain subject to protection under the agreements is approximately $143.3 million. The protection provided under the terms of the 2021 TPA will expire in 2031. We have not recorded any liability related to the 2017 TPA or the 2021 TPA on our consolidated balance sheets for any periods presented, nor recognized any expense since the inception of the 2017 TPA, owing to the fact that any potential liability under the agreements is controlled by us and we believe we will either (i) continue to own and operate the protected properties or (ii) be able to successfully complete tax-deferred exchanges under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (unless there is a change in applicable law) or complete other tax-efficient transactions to avoid any liability under the agreements.
Other Related Party Matters—We are the limited guarantor for up to $190 million, capped at $50 million in most instances, of debt for our NRP joint venture. As of March 31, 2022, the outstanding loan balance related to our NRP joint venture was $15.3 million. As of March 31, 2022, we were also the limited guarantor of a $175 million mortgage loan secured by GRP I properties. Our guaranty for both the NRP and GRP I debt is limited to being the non-recourse carveout guarantor and the Property Manager was terminated.environmental indemnitor. Further, in both cases, we are also party to an agreement with our institutional joint venture partners in which any potential liability under such guarantees will be apportioned between us and our applicable joint venture partner based on our respective ownership percentages in the applicable joint venture. We have no liability recorded on our consolidated balance sheets for either guaranty as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

12. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The following describes the methods we use to estimate the fair value of our financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities:
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash, Accounts Receivable, and Accounts Payable—We consider the carrying values of these financial instruments to approximate fair value because of the short period of time between origination of the instruments and their expected realization.
Real Estate Investments—The purchase prices of the investment properties, including related lease intangible assets and liabilities, are allocated at estimated fair value based on Level 3 inputs, such as discount rates, capitalization rates, comparable sales, replacement costs, income and expense growth rates, and current market rents and allowances as determined by management.
Debt Obligations—We estimate the fair value of our revolving credit facility, term loans, secured portfolio of loans, and mortgages by discounting the future cash flows of each instrument at rates currently offered for similar debt instruments of comparable maturities by our lenders using Level 3 inputs. The discount rates used approximate current lending rates for loans or groups of loans with similar maturities and credit quality, assuming the debt is outstanding through maturity and considering the debt’s collateral (if applicable). We have utilized market information, as available, or present value techniques to estimate the amounts required to be disclosed. We estimate the fair value of our senior unsecured notes by using quoted prices in active markets, which are considered Level 1 inputs.

Recurring and Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements—Our marketable securities, earn-out liability, and interest rate swaps are measured and recognized at fair value on a recurring basis, while certain real estate assets and liabilities are measured and recognized at fair value as needed. Fair value measurements that occurred as of and during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and the year ended December 31, 2021 were as follows (in thousands):

(2)We record derivative liabilities in Derivative Liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets.
(3)The carrying value of impaired real estate assets may have subsequently increased or decreased after the measurement date due to capital improvements, depreciation, or sale.
Marketable Securities—We estimate the fair value of marketable securities using Level 1 inputs. We utilize unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets in active markets that we have the ability to access.
Derivative Instruments—As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had interest rate swaps that fixed LIBOR on portions of our unsecured term loan facilities.
All interest rate swap agreements are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The valuation of these instruments is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities. The fair values of interest rate swaps are determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash receipts (or payments) and the discounted expected variable cash payments (or receipts). The variable cash payments (or receipts) are based on an expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate curves.
To comply with the provisions of ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, we incorporate credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both our own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. In adjusting the fair value of our derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, we have considered the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral postings, thresholds, mutual puts, and guarantees.
Although we determined that the significant inputs used to value our derivatives fell within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with our counterparties and our own credit risk utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads, to evaluate the likelihood of default by us and our counterparties. However, as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we have assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of our derivative positions and have determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of our derivatives. As a result, we now have an internalized management structure.
Advisory Agreement—On September 1, 2017,determined that our derivative valuations in connection with the termination of ARC’s and PE-NTR’s fee-sharing arrangements (see Note 9), we entered into an amended and restated advisory agreement (the “PE-NTR Agreement”). Under the PE-NTR Agreement, all fees payable to PE-NTR were decreased by 15%. Other than the foregoing, there were no material changestheir entirety are classified in the PE-NTR Agreement. Subsequent to September 30, 2017, upon closingLevel 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Earn-out—As part of our acquisition of Phillips Edison Limited Partnership (“PELP”) in 2017, an earn-out structure was established which gave PELP transaction, the PE-NTR
Agreement was terminated. As a resultopportunity to earn additional OP units based upon the potential achievement of purchasing PELP’s third-party asset management business, we will no longer incur the fees listed below.

Expenditures were reimbursed to PE-NTRpost-underwritten IPO trading price of our common stock. The number of OP units awarded varied based on amounts incurred on our behalf.
Acquisition Fee—During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, we paid PE-NTR under the PE-NTR Agreement an acquisition fee related to services provided in connection with the selection and purchase or origination of real estate and real estate-related investments. The acquisition fee was equal to 0.85%, or 1.0% prior to September 1, 2017, of the cost of investments we acquired or originated, including any debt attributable to such investments.
Due Diligence Fee—During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, we reimbursed PE-NTR for expenses incurred related to selecting, evaluating, and acquiring assets on our behalf, including certain personnel costs.
Asset Management Fee and Subordinated Participation—During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, the asset management compensation was equal to 0.85%, or 1.0% prior to September 1, 2017, of the cost of our assets. Prior to September 20, 2017, the asset management compensation was paid 80% in cash and 20% in Class B units of the Operating Partnership. The cash portion was paid on a monthly basis in arrears at the rate of 0.05667% multiplied by the cost of


our assets as of the last day of the preceding monthly period. All asset management fees incurred between September 20, 2017 and the closing of the PELP transaction were paid 100% in cash.
We paid an asset management subordinated participation by issuing a number of restricted operating partnership units designated as Class B units to PE-NTR, equal to: (i) the product of (x) the cost of our assets multiplied by (y) 0.0425%, or 0.05% prior to September 1, 2017, divided by (ii) the most recent primary offeringhighest volume weighted average price for aper share of our common stock asover any 30 consecutive trading day period during the 180 days following the underwritten IPO commencement (the “liquidity event price per share”):
if the liquidity event price per share was greater than or equal to $33.60, PELP would receive approximately 1.7 million OP units;
if the liquidity event price per share was less than $33.60 but greater than or equal to $26.40, PELP would receive a number of the last day of such calendar quarter less any selling commissions and dealer manager fees that would have been payable in connection with that offering.
PE-NTR was entitled to receive distributions on the Class B units (and OP units converted from previously issued and vested Class B units) atequal to (i) 1.0 million plus (ii) the same rate as distributions were paid to common stockholders. Subsequent to September 30, 2017, upon closingproduct of the PELP transaction, all outstanding Class B units were converted to OP units. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, the Operating Partnership issued 0.6(A) approximately 0.7 million and 0.4(B) the quotient obtained by dividing the liquidity event price per share in excess of $26.40 by $7.20; or
if the liquidity event price per share was less than $26.40, PELP would receive 1.0 million Class B units, respectively, to PE-NTR and ARC under the PE-NTR Agreement for asset management services performed by PE-NTR.
Disposition Fee—During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, we paid PE-NTR for substantial assistance by PE-NTR, or its affiliates, 1.7%, or 2.0% prior to September 1, 2017, of the contract sales price of each property or other investment sold. The conflicts committee of our Board determined whether PE-NTR or its affiliates had provided substantial assistance to us in connection with the sale of an asset. Substantial assistance in connection with the sale of a property included preparation of an investment package for the property (including an investment analysis, rent rolls, tenant information regarding credit, a property title report, an environmental report, a structural report, and exhibits) or such other substantial services performed by PE-NTR or its affiliates in connection with a sale. However, if we sold an asset to an affiliate, our organizational documents prohibited us from paying a disposition fee to PE-NTR or its affiliates.OP units.
Prior to September 1, 2017, ARC also received the acquisition fee, asset management subordinated participation, and disposition fee, as well as distributionssecond quarter of 2021, we estimated the fair value of this liability on Class B and OP units. For a more detailed discussionquarterly basis using the Monte Carlo method. Following our underwritten IPO, the only remaining variable for calculating final amounts to be paid under the earn-out agreement was the liquidity event price per share. On January 11, 2022, at the end of the termination180-day period following our underwritten IPO commencement, we finalized the fair value of our relationshipthe earn-out liability and issued approximately 1.6 million OP units in full settlement of the liability with ARC, see Note 9.a value of $54.2 million. We recorded expense of $1.8 million and $16.0 million,

MARCH 31, 2022 FORM 10-Q
Prior to January 1, 2017, acquisition and due diligence fees were recorded on our consolidated statements of operations. The majority of these costs are now capitalized and allocated to the related investment in real estate assets on the consolidated balance sheet based on the acquisition-date fair values of the respective assets and liability acquired.16


respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021 related to changes in the fair value of the earn-out liability in Other Expense, Net in the consolidated statements of operations.
Real Estate Asset Impairment—Our real estate assets are measured and recognized at fair value, less costs to sell for held-for-sale properties, on a nonrecurring basis dependent upon when we determine an impairment has occurred. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we impaired assets that were under contract at a disposition price that was less than carrying value, or that had other operational impairment indicators. The valuation technique used for the fair value of all impaired real estate assets was the expected net sales proceeds, which we consider to be a Level 2 input in the fair value hierarchy. There were no impairment charges recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2022.
On a quarterly basis, we employ a multi-step approach to assess our real estate assets for possible impairment and record any impairment charges identified. The first step is the identification of potential triggering events, such as significant decreases in occupancy or the presence of large dark or vacant spaces. If we observe any of these indicators for a shopping center, we then perform an additional screen test consisting of a years-to-recover analysis to determine if we will recover the net book value of the property over its remaining economic life based upon net operating income (“NOI”) as forecasted for the current year. In the event that the results of this first step indicate a triggering event for a center, we proceed to the second step, utilizing an undiscounted cash flow model for the center to identify potential impairment. If the undiscounted cash flows are less than the net book value of the center as of the balance sheet date, we record an impairment charge based on the fair value determined in the third step. In performing the third step, we utilize market data such as capitalization rates and sales price per square foot on comparable recent real estate transactions to estimate the fair value of the real estate assets. We also utilize expected net sales proceeds to estimate the fair value of any centers that are actively being marketed for sale.
In addition to these procedures, we also review undeveloped or unimproved land parcels that we own for evidence of impairment and record any impairment charges as necessary. Primary impairment triggers for these land parcels are changes to our plans or intentions with regards to such properties, or planned dispositions at prices that are less than the current carrying values.
We recorded the following expense upon impairment of real estate assets (in thousands):

Property Manager—During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, all of our real properties were managed and leased by the Property Manager, which was wholly owned by our Phillips Edison sponsor. The Property Manager also manages real properties owned by Phillips Edison affiliates and other third parties.
Effective October 4, 2017, our agreement with the Property Manager was terminated. As a result, we will no longer incur the fees listed below.

Property Management Fee—We paid to the Property Manager a monthly property management fee of 4% of the monthly gross cash receipts from the properties it managed.


Leasing Commissions—In addition to the property management fee, if the Property Manager provided leasing services with respect to a property, we paid the Property Manager leasing fees in an amount equal to the leasing fees charged by unaffiliated persons rendering comparable services based on national market rates. The Property Manager was paid a leasing fee in connection with a tenant’s exercise of an option to extend an existing lease, and the leasing fees payable to the Property Manager could have been increased by up to 50% if the Property Manager engaged a co-broker to lease a particular vacancy.
Construction Management Fee—If we engaged the Property Manager to provide construction management services with respect to a particular property, we paid a construction management fee in an amount that was usual and customary for comparable services rendered to similar projects in the geographic market of the property.
Expenses and Reimbursements—The Property Manager hired, directed, and established policies for employees who had direct responsibility for the operations of each real property it managed, which could have included, but was not limited to, on-site managers and building and maintenance personnel. Certain employees of the Property Manager may have been employed on a part-time basis and may have also been employed by PE-NTR or certain of its affiliates. The Property Manager also directed the purchase of equipment and supplies and supervised all maintenance activity. We reimbursed the costs and expenses incurred by the Property Manager on our behalf, including employee compensation, legal, travel, and other out-of-pocket expenses that were directly related to the management of specific properties and corporate matters, as well as fees and expenses of third-party accountants.
Summarized below are the fees earned by and the expenses reimbursable to the Property Manager for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, and any related amounts unpaid as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 (in thousands):

12. OPERATING LEASES
The terms and expirations of our operating leases with our tenants vary. The lease agreements frequently contain options to extend the terms of leases and other terms and conditions as negotiated. We retain substantially all of the risks and benefits of ownership of the real estate assets leased to tenants.


Approximate future rental income to be received under non-cancelable operating leases in effect as of September 30, 2017, assuming no new or renegotiated leases or option extensions on lease agreements, was as follows (in thousands):

No single tenant comprised 10% or more of our aggregate annualized base rent as of September 30, 2017. As of September 30, 2017, our real estate investments in Florida represented 12.8% of our ABR. As a result, the geographic concentration of our portfolio makes it particularly susceptible to adverse economic developments in the Florida real estate market.

KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS AND DEFINED TERMS
We use certain key performance indicators (“KPIs”), which include both financial and nonfinancial metrics, to measure the performance of our operations. We believe these KPIs, as well as the core concepts and terms defined below, allow our Board, management, and investors to analyze trends around our business strategy, financial condition, and results of operations in this Form 10-Q. Important factorsa manner that could cause actual resultsis focused on items unique to differ materially from the forward-looking statements are disclosed in Item 1A.

Overview
Organization
Phillips Edison Grocery Center REIT I, Inc. is a public non-traded real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that invests in retail real estate properties. Our primary focus is on grocery-anchored neighborhoodindustry.
We do not consider our non-GAAP measures to be alternatives to measures required in accordance with GAAP. Certain non-GAAP measures should not be viewed as an alternative measure of our financial performance as they may not reflect the operations of our entire portfolio, and communitythey may not reflect the impact of general and administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization, interest expense, other income (expense), or the level of capital expenditures and leasing costs necessary to maintain the operating performance of our shopping centers that meetcould materially impact our results from operations. Additionally, certain non-GAAP measures should not be considered as an indication of our liquidity, nor as an indication of funds available to cover our cash needs, including our ability to fund distributions, and may not be a useful measure of the day-to-day needsimpact of residentslong-term operating performance on value if we do not continue to operate our business in the surrounding trade areas.manner currently contemplated. Accordingly, non-GAAP measures should be reviewed in connection with other GAAP measurements, and should not be viewed as more prominent measures of performance than net income (loss) or cash flows from operations prepared in accordance with GAAP. Other REITs may use different methodologies for calculating similar non-GAAP measures, and accordingly, our non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to other REITs.
On October 4, 2017, we completed the PELP transaction. For a more detailed discussion of this transaction, see Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements.

Our KPIs and terminology can be grouped into three key areas:
Lease ExpirationsPORTFOLIO—Portfolio metrics help management to gauge the health of our centers overall and individually.
The following table lists, onAnchor space—We define an aggregate basis, allanchor space as a space greater than or equal to 10,000 square feet of gross leasable area (“GLA”).
ABR—We use ABR to refer to the monthly contractual base rent at the end of the scheduledperiod multiplied by twelve months.
ABR Per Square Foot (“PSF”)—This metric is calculated by dividing ABR by leased GLA. Increases in ABR PSF can be an indication of our ability to create rental rate growth in our centers, as well as an indication of demand for our spaces, which generally provides us with greater leverage during lease negotiations.
GLA—We use GLA to refer to the total occupied and unoccupied square footage of a building that is available for tenants (whom we refer to as a “Neighbor” or our “Neighbors”) or other retailers to lease.
Inline space—We define an inline space as a space containing less than 10,000 square feet of GLA.
Leased Occupancy—This metric is calculated as the percentage of total GLA for which a lease has been signed regardless of whether the lease has commenced or the Neighbor has taken possession. High occupancy is an indicator of demand for our spaces, which generally provides us with greater leverage during lease negotiations.
Underwritten incremental unlevered yield—This reflects the yield we target to generate from a project upon expected stabilization and is calculated as the estimated incremental NOI for a project at stabilization divided by its estimated net project investment. The estimated incremental NOI is the difference between the estimated annualized NOI we target to generate by project upon stabilization and the estimated annualized NOI without the planned improvements. Underwritten incremental unlevered yield does not include peripheral impacts, such as lease rollover risk or the impact on the long term value of the property upon sale or disposition. Actual incremental unlevered yields may vary from our underwritten incremental unlevered yield range based on the actual total cost to complete a project and its actual incremental NOI at stabilization.
LEASING—Leasing is a key driver of growth for our company.
Comparable lease—We use this term to refer to a lease with consistent terms that is executed for substantially the same space that has been vacant less than twelve months.
Comparable rent spread—This metric is calculated as the percentage increase or decrease in first-year ABR (excluding any free rent or escalations) on new or renewal leases (excluding options) where the lease was considered a comparable lease. This metric provides an indication of our ability to generate revenue growth through leasing activity.
Cost of executing new leases—We use this term to refer to certain costs associated with new leasing, namely, leasing commissions, tenant improvement costs, and tenant concessions.
Portfolio retention rate—This metric is calculated by dividing (i) total square feet of retained Neighbors with current period lease expirations after September 30, 2017,by (ii) the total square feet of leases expiring during the period. The portfolio retention rate provides insight into our ability to retain Neighbors at our shopping centers as their leases approach expiration. Generally, the costs to retain an existing Neighbor are lower than costs to replace with a new Neighbor.
Recovery rate—This metric is calculated by dividing (i) total recovery income by (ii) total recoverable expenses during the period. A high recovery rate is an indicator of our ability to recover certain property operating expenses and capital costs from our Neighbors.
FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE—In addition to financial metrics calculated in accordance with GAAP, such as net income or cash flows from operations, we utilize non-GAAP metrics to measure our operational and financial performance. See “Non-GAAP Measures” below for eachfurther discussion on the following metrics.
Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization for Real Estate (“Adjusted EBITDAre”)—To arrive at Adjusted EBITDAre, we adjust EBITDAre, as defined below, to exclude certain recurring and non-recurring items including, but not limited to: (i) changes in the fair value of the next ten yearsearn-out liability; (ii) other impairment charges; (iii) amortization of basis differences in our investments in our unconsolidated joint ventures; (iv) transaction and thereafteracquisition expenses; and (v) realized performance income. We use EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre as additional measures of operating performance which allow us to compare earnings independent of capital structure and evaluate debt leverage and fixed cost coverage.
Core Funds From Operations (“FFO”)—To arrive at Core FFO, we adjust Nareit FFO Attributable to Stockholders and OP Unit Holders, as defined below, to exclude certain recurring and non-recurring items including, but not limited to: (i) depreciation and amortization of corporate assets; (ii) changes in the fair value of the earn-out liability; (iii) amortization of unconsolidated joint venture basis differences; (iv) gains or losses on the extinguishment or modification of debt and other; (v) other impairment charges; (vi) transaction and acquisition expenses; and (vii) realized performance income. We believe Nareit FFO provides insight into our operating performance as it excludes certain items that are not indicative of such performance. Core FFO provides further insight into the sustainability of our operating performance and provides an additional measure to compare our performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that may cause short-term fluctuations in net income (loss).
EBITDAre—The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“Nareit”) defines EBITDAre as net income (loss) computed in accordance with GAAP before: (i) interest expense; (ii) income tax expense; (iii) depreciation and amortization; (iv) gains or losses from disposition of depreciable property; and (v) impairment write-downs of depreciable property. Adjustments for our 159 shopping centers. The table showsunconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures are calculated to reflect EBITDAre on the leased square feet and annualized base rent (“ABR”) represented by the applicable lease expirations (dollars and square feet in thousands):same basis.

Number of locations excludes (a) auxiliary leases with grocery anchors such as fuel stations, pharmacies, and liquor stores, (b) four locations where we do not own the portion of the shopping center that contains the grocery anchor, and (c) four locations that have non-grocery anchors. Number of locations also includes one shopping center that has two grocery anchors.



Results of Operations
In conjunction withall outstanding shares using the closing of the PELP transaction on October 4, 2017, we expect our operations to change significantly. As a result of acquiring the third-party asset management business of PELP, we will earn fee and management income for certain services provided to Phillips Edison Grocery Center REIT II, Inc. and other funds, and incur expenses related to managing their day-to-day activities and implementing their investment strategy. Furthermore, following the termination of the PE-NTR Agreement, we will no longer pay fees to an advisor, including asset management fees. The acquisition of 76 real estate assets from PELP through this transaction substantially increased the size of our portfolio. Consequently, we expect our operating revenues to increase over the short- and long-term.

Below are explanations of the significant fluctuationsgains (or losses) from change in the results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016:
Total revenues—Of the $5.4 million increase in total revenues, $5.2 million was attributed to non-same-center properties, which are the properties acquired or disposed of after December 31, 2015, and those considered redevelopment properties. Of the $5.2 million increase, $6.7 million was related to acquisitions, offset by a decrease of $1.5 million related to redevelopment and disposed properties. There are nine properties being repositioned in the market and such repositioning is expected to have a significant impact on property operating income. As such, these properties have been classified as redevelopment and have been excluded from our same-center pool. The remaining increase in revenues was the result of a $0.2 million increase among same-center properties, which are the 137 properties that were owned and operational for the entire portion of both comparable reporting periods. The increase in same-center revenue was primarily driven by a $0.17 increase in minimum rent per square foot and a 0.7% increase in occupancy since September 30, 2016.
Property operating expenses—These expenses include (i) operating and maintenance expense, which consists of property-related costs including repairs and maintenance costs, landscaping, snow removal, utilities, property insurance costs, security, and various other property-related expenses;control; (ii) bad debt expense; and (iii) property management fees and expenses. The $0.9 million increase in property operating expenses primarily resulted from owning more properties for the entire three months ended September 30, 2017, than the comparable 2016 period.
Real estate tax expenses—The $1.6 million increase in real estate tax expenses was primarily due to having more properties in our portfolio for the entire three months ended September 30, 2017, than the comparable 2016 period.
General and administrative expenses—The $1.0 million increase in general and administrative expenses included a $0.6 million increase in third-party legal and consulting fees, as well as costs associated with distributing our Proxy. It also included a $0.3 million increase in asset management fees related to owning more properties for the entire three months ended September 30, 2017, than the comparable 2016 period.


Termination of affiliate arrangements—The $5.5 million expense was primarily related to the redemption of unvested Class B units at the estimated value per share on the date of termination, that had been earned by our former advisor for historical asset management services (see Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements).
Acquisition expenses—The $0.7 million decrease in acquisition expenses was attributed to the implementation of ASU 2017-01 on January 1, 2017, which caused us to capitalize most acquisition-related costs. For a more detailed discussion of this adoption, see Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements.
Depreciation and amortization—The $2.1 million increase in depreciation and amortization included a $2.8 million increase related to owning more propertiesreal estate; (iii) impairment losses on real estate and impairments of in-substance real estate investments in investees that are driven by measurable decreases in the fair value of the depreciable real estate held by the unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures; and (iv) adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures, calculated to reflect FFO on the entire three months ended September 30, 2017, than the comparable 2016 period. This was offset bysame basis. We calculate Nareit FFO in a $0.4 million decrease due to the disposition of a property in December 2016, as well as a $0.4 million decrease among same-center properties that was primarily attributed to certain intangible lease assets becoming fully amortized.
Interest expense, net—The $2.1 million increase in interest expense was primarily due to additional borrowings since September 2016, offset by a decrease in amortization of loan closing costs due to refinancing certain mortgages in September 2016.
Transaction expenses—The $3.7 million of transaction expenses resulted from costs incurred in connectionmanner consistent with the PELP transaction (see Note 3Nareit definition.
Net Debt—We calculate net debt as total debt, excluding discounts, market adjustments, and deferred financing expenses, less cash and cash equivalents.
Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDAre—This ratio is calculated by dividing net debt by Adjusted EBITDAre (included on an annualized basis within the consolidated financial statements), primarily third-party professional fees, such as accounting, legal, tax, financial advisor,calculation). It provides insight into our leverage rate based on earnings and consulting fees, and fees associated with obtaining debt consents necessary to complete the transaction.

Net Debt to Total Enterprise Value—This ratio is calculated by dividing net debt by total enterprise value, as defined below. It provides insight into our capital structure and usage of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016:debt.
Total revenues—Of the $17.4 million increase in total revenues, $16.4 million was related to non-same-center properties. Of the $16.4 million increase, $19.3 million was related to acquisitions, offset by a decrease of $2.9 million related to redevelopment and disposed properties. The remaining $1.0 million increase was attributed to same-center properties, which was primarily driven by a $0.17 increase in minimum rent per square foot and a 0.7% increase in occupancy since September 30, 2016.
Property operating expenses—The $2.6 million increase in property operating expenses was primarily related to owning more properties for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, than the comparable 2016 period.
Real estate tax expenses—The $3.4 million increase in real estate tax expenses was due to having more properties in our portfolio for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, than the comparable 2016 period.


General and administrative expenses—The $1.7 million increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily attributed to an increase in asset management fees related to owning more properties for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, than the comparable 2016 period.
Termination of affiliate arrangements—The $5.5 million expense was primarily related to the redemption of unvested Class B units at the estimated value per share on the date of termination, that had been earned by our former advisor for historical asset management services (see Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements).

Depreciation and amortization—The $6.2 million increase in depreciation and amortization included an $8.3 million increase related to owning more properties for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, than the comparable 2016 period. This was offset by a $1.2 million decrease due to the disposition of a property in December 2016, as well as a $1.1 million decrease that was primarily attributed to certain intangible lease assets becoming fully amortized.
Interest expense, net—The $4.7 million increase in interest expense was primarily due to additional borrowings since September 2016, offset by a decrease from refinancing certain mortgages and improving the associated interest rate.
Transaction expenses—The $9.8 million of transaction expenses resulted from costs incurred in connection with the PELP transaction (see Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements), primarily third-party professional fees, such as accounting, legal, tax, financial advisor, and consulting fees, and fees associated with obtaining debt consents necessary to complete the transaction.
Other income (expense), net—Other income increased $0.8 million primarily due to gains from the sale of land at two of our properties.

Leasing Activity
The average rent per square foot and cost of executing leases fluctuates based on the tenant mix, size of the space, and lease term. Leases with national and regional tenants generally require a higher cost per square foot than those with local tenants. However, such tenants will also execute leases for a longer term. As we continue to attract more of these national and regional tenants, our costs to lease may increase.

Non-GAAP Measures
Same-Center Net Operating Income
NOI—We present Same-Center Net Operating Income (“Same-Center NOI”) as a supplemental measure of our performance. We define Net Operating Income (“NOI”)calculate NOI as total operating revenues, adjusted to exclude lease buy-out income and non-cash revenue items, less property operating expenses and real estate taxes. Same-Center NOI represents the NOI for the 137 properties that were owned and operational for the entire portion of both comparable reporting periods, except for the nine properties we currently classify as redevelopment. While there is judgment surrounding changes in designations, once a redevelopment property has stabilized, it is typically moved to the same-center pool the following year.
We believe that NOI and Same-Center NOI provide useful information to our investorsprovides insight about our financial and operating performance because eachit provides a performance measure of the revenues and expenses directly involved in owning and operating real estate assets and provides a perspective not immediately apparent from net income (loss). Because Same-Center NOI
Same-Center—We use this term to refer to a property, or portfolio of properties, that have been owned and operational for the entirety of each reporting period (i.e., since January 1, 2021).
Total Enterprise Value—We calculate total enterprise value as our net debt plus our equity market capitalization on a fully diluted basis.

OVERVIEW
We are a REIT and one of the nation’s largest owners and operators of omni-channel grocery-anchored shopping centers. Our portfolio primarily consists of neighborhood centers anchored by the #1 or #2 grocer tenants by sales within their respective formats by trade area. Our Neighbors are a mix of national, regional, and local retailers that primarily provide necessity-based goods and services.
As of March 31, 2022, we owned equity interests in 290 shopping centers, including 269 wholly-owned shopping centers and 21 shopping centers owned through two unconsolidated joint ventures, which comprised approximately 33.1 million square feet in 31 states. In addition to managing our shopping centers, our third-party investment management business provides comprehensive real estate management services to the Managed Funds.

Our ability to create rental rate growth generally depends on our leverage during new and renewal lease negotiations with prospective and existing Neighbors, which typically occurs when occupancy at our centers is high or during periods of economic growth and recovery. Conversely, we may experience rental rate decline when occupancy at our centers is low or during periods of economic recession, as the leverage during new and renewal lease negotiations may shift to prospective and existing Neighbors.

NECESSITY-BASED GOODS AND SERVICES—We define “Necessity-based goods and services” as goods and services that are indispensable, necessary, or common for day-to-day living, or that tend to be inelastic (i.e., those for which the demand does not change based on a consumer’s income level). We estimate that approximately 72% of our ABR, including the pro rata portion attributable to properties owned through our unconsolidated joint ventures, is generated from Neighbors providing necessity-based goods and services.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
KNOWN TRENDS AND UNCERTAINTIES OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC—The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in reduced revenues beginning with the second quarter of 2020 and continued through early 2021. Our collections returned to pre-COVID levels during the second half of 2021 and have continued through the first quarter of 2022. We believe our collections have stabilized, which will reduce volatility in our earnings during 2022 as compared to 2021.

Our basis for analyzing significant fluctuations in our results of operations generally includes review of the results of our same-center portfolio, non-same-center portfolio, and revenues and expenses from our management activities. We define our same-center portfolio as the 256 properties that were owned and operational prior to January 1, 2021. We define our non-same-center portfolio as those properties that were not fully owned and operational in both periods owing to real estate asset activity occurring after December 31, 2020, which includes 25 properties disposed of and twelve properties acquired. Below are explanations of the significant fluctuations in the results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021:
Rental Income increased $11.1 million primarily as follows:
$8.3 million increase related to our same-center portfolio as follows:
$6.0 million increase primarily due to a $0.37 increase in average minimum rent PSF and a 1.3% improvement in average occupancy owing largely to the strength of our leasing results during 2021;
$1.7 million increase owing largely to an increase in recoverable income attributed to an increase in real estate taxes and common area maintenance spending, as compared to 2021, as well as a 1.3% improvement in average occupancy; and
$0.6 million increase primarily due to the continued stabilization of collections from our Neighbors which resulted in a decrease in Neighbors we have identified as a credit risk and lower general reserves.
$2.9 million increase primarily related to improving the quality of our portfolio through our acquisition and disposition activity.
Property Operating Expenses:
The $1.1 million increase in property operating expenses was largely related to our same-center portfolio and corporate operating activities primarily as follows:
$0.7 million increase in recoverable expenses attributed to higher common area maintenance costs, as compared to 2021; and
$0.5 million increase primarily due to higher insurance expenses attributed to higher market rates and an increase in claims and claim development.
Real Estate Tax Expenses:
The $0.9 million increase in real estate tax expenses is primarily due to higher real estate tax assessments on the value of our portfolio.

General and Administrative Expenses increased $2.2 million primarily as follows:
$1.1 million increase in compensation expense owing largely to an increase in performance- and service-based compensation of approximately $0.4 million and $0.3 million, respectively;
$0.7 million increase primarily due to an increase in directors and officers insurance as a result of our underwritten IPO; and
$0.3 million increase primarily due to costs related to the conversion of our Class B common stock to common stock and other compliance related expenses owing largely to our common stock being listed on a publicly traded market.
Depreciation and Amortization:
The $1.9 million increase in depreciation and amortization is primarily due to the execution of our growth strategy and investment in improvements to our Neighbor spaces.
Impairment of Real Estate Assets:
The $5.0 million decrease in impairment of real estate assets was due to assets that were sold during 2021 at a disposition price that was less than the carrying value.
Interest Expense, Net:
The $1.9 million decrease during the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021 was primarily due to: (i) early repayments of debt outstanding in 2021; partially offset by (ii) higher average interest rates; and (iii) the issuance of $350 million aggregate principal amount of 2.625% senior notes in October 2021. Interest Expense, Net was comprised of the following (dollars in thousands):

Gain on Disposal of Property, Net:
The $12.5 million decrease was primarily related to the sale of two properties with a net gain of $1.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to the sale of six properties and one outparcel with a net gain of $13.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021 (see Note 4).
Other Expense, Net:
The $11.2 million decrease was primarily related to a lower charge in connection with the change in the fair value of our earn-out liability, which was settled in January 2022, partially offset by an increase in transaction and acquisition expenses owing largely to restricted stock units awarded at the time of our underwritten IPO. Other Expense, Net was comprised of the following (in thousands):

NON-GAAP MEASURES
See “Key Performance Indicators and Defined Terms”above for additional information related to the following non-GAAP measures.
SAME-CENTER NOI—Same-Center NOI from properties acquired after December 31, 2015, and those considered redevelopment properties,is presented as a supplemental measure of our performance, as it highlights operating trends such as occupancy levels, rental rates, and operating costs on properties that were operational for both comparable periods.our Same-Center portfolio. Other REITs may use different methodologies for calculating Same-Center NOI, and accordingly, our Same-Center NOI may not be comparable to other REITs. For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, Same-Center NOI represents the NOI for the 256 properties that were wholly-owned and operational for the entire portion of both comparable reporting periods.
Same-Center NOI should not be viewed as an alternative measure of our financial performance sinceas it does not reflect the operations of our entire portfolio, nor does it reflect the impact of general and administrative expenses, acquisition expenses, depreciation and amortization, interest expense, other income (expense), or the level of capital expenditures and leasing costs necessary to maintain the operating performance of our properties that could materially impact our results from operations.

Funds from Operations and Modified Funds from Operations
Funds from operations (“FFO”)NAREIT FFO AND CORE FFO—Nareit FFO is a non-GAAP financial performance measure that is widely recognized as a measure of REIT operating performance. We useCore FFO is an additional financial performance measure used by us as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) to be net income (loss), computed in accordance with GAAP, adjusted for gains (or losses) from sales of depreciable real estate property (including deemed sales and settlements of pre-existing relationships), plus depreciation and amortization on real estate assets and impairment charges, and after related adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships, joint ventures, and noncontrolling interests.Nareit FFO includes certain non-comparable items that affect our performance over time. We believe that Core FFO is helpful to our investors and our management as a measure of operating performance because, when compared year over year, it reflects the impact on operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, development activities, general and administrative expenses, and interest costs, which are not immediately apparent from net income (loss).
Since the definition of FFO was promulgated by NAREIT, GAAP has expanded to include several new accounting pronouncements, such that management and many investors and analysts have considered the presentation of FFO alone to be


insufficient. Accordingly, in addition to FFO, we use modified funds from operations (“MFFO”), which, as defined by us, excludes from FFO the following items:
acquisition and transaction expenses;
straight-line rent amounts, both income and expense;
amortization of above- or below-market intangible lease assets and liabilities;
amortization of discounts and premiums on debt investments;
gains or losses from the early extinguishment of debt;
gains or losses on the extinguishment of derivatives, except where the trading of such instruments is a fundamental attribute of our operations;
gains or losses related to fair value adjustments for derivatives not qualifying for hedge accounting;
adjustments related to the above items for joint ventures, noncontrolling interests, and unconsolidated entities in the application of equity accounting; and
termination of affiliate arrangements.
We believe that MFFO is helpful in assisting management and investors with the assessment ofassessing the sustainability of our operating performance in future periods because MFFO excludes acquisition expenses that affect operations only in the period in which the property is acquired. Thus, MFFO provides helpful information relevantperiods.
Nareit FFO, Nareit FFO Attributable to evaluating our operating performance in periods in which there is no acquisition activity.
Many of the adjustments in arriving at MFFO are not applicable to us. Nevertheless, as explained below, management’s evaluation of our operating performance may also exclude items considered in the calculation of MFFO based on the following economic considerations:
Adjustments for straight-line rentsStockholders and amortization of discountsOP Unit Holders, and premiums on debt investments—GAAP requires rental receipts and discounts and premiums on debt investments to be recognized using various systematic methodologies. This may result in income recognition that could be significantly different than underlying contract terms. By adjusting for these items, MFFO provides useful supplemental information on the realized economic impact of lease terms and debt investments and aligns results with management’s analysis of operating performance. The adjustment to MFFO for straight-line rents, in particular, is made to reflect rent and lease payments from a GAAP accrual basis to a cash basis.
Adjustments for amortization of above- or below-market intangible lease assets—Similar to depreciation and amortization of other real estate-related assets that are excluded fromCore FFO GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of intangibles diminishes ratably over the lease term and should be recognized in revenue. Since real estate values and market lease rates in the aggregate have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, and the intangible value is not adjusted to reflect these changes, management believes that by excluding these charges, MFFO provides useful supplemental information on the performance of the real estate.
Gains or losses related to fair value adjustments for derivatives not qualifying for hedge accounting—This item relates to a fair value adjustment, which is based on the impact of current market fluctuations and underlying assessments of general market conditions and specific performance of the holding, which may not be directly attributable to current operating performance. As these gains or losses relate to underlying long-term assets and liabilities, management believes MFFO provides useful supplemental information by focusing on the changes in core operating fundamentals rather than changes that may reflect anticipated, but unknown, gains or losses.
Adjustment for gains or losses related to early extinguishment of derivatives and debt instruments—These adjustments are not related to continuing operations. By excluding these items, management believes that MFFO provides supplemental information related to sustainable operations that will be more comparable between other reporting periods and to other real estate operators.
Adjustment for the termination of affiliate arrangements—This adjustment is related to our redemption of Class B units at the estimated value per share on the date of termination, that had been earned by our former advisor for historical asset management services, and is not related to continuing operations. By excluding this item, management believes that MFFO provides supplemental information related to sustainable operations that will be more comparable between other reporting periods and to other real estate operators.
Neither FFO nor MFFO should be considered as an alternativealternatives to net income (loss) or income (loss) from continuing operations under GAAP, nor as an indication of our liquidity, nor is either of these measures indicativeas an indication of funds available to fundcover our cash


needs, including our ability to fund distributions. MFFOCore FFO may not be a useful measure of the impact of long-term operating performance on value if we do not continue to operate our business plan in the manner currently contemplated.
Accordingly, Nareit FFO, Nareit FFO Attributable to Stockholders and MFFOOP Unit Holders, and Core FFO should be reviewed in connection with other GAAP measurements. FFOmeasurements, and MFFO should not be viewed as more prominent measures of performance than our net income (loss) or cash flows from operations prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our Nareit FFO, Nareit FFO Attributable to Stockholders and MFFO,OP Unit Holders, and Core FFO, as presented, may not be comparable to amounts calculated by other REITs.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
GENERAL—Aside from standard operating expenses, are for we expect our principal cash demands to be for:
investments in real estate, estate;
cash distributions to stockholders;
redevelopment and repositioning projects;
capital expenditures repurchases of common stock, distributions to stockholders, and leasing costs; and
principal and interest payments on our outstanding indebtedness.
We intendexpect our primary sources of liquidity to use our cash on hand, be:
operating cash flows,flows;
proceeds received from the disposition of properties;
borrowings from our unsecured revolving credit facility and proceeds from debt financings, including borrowings underfinancings;
proceeds from any ATM offering activities;
distributions received from our unsecured credit facility, as our primary sources of immediateunconsolidated joint ventures; and long-term liquidity. On October 4, 2017, we completed the PELP transaction. Under the terms of the agreement, we issued 39.6 million OP units, assumed $501 million of debt, and paid approximately $25 million in cash (see Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements).
As of September 30, 2017, we hadavailable, unrestricted cash and cash equivalentsequivalents.
At this time, we believe our current sources of $7.2liquidity are sufficient to meet our short- and long-term cash demands.

Operating Activities
Our net cash provided by operating activities consists primarily of cash inflows from tenant rental and recovery payments and cash outflows for property operating expenses, real estate taxes, general and administrative expenses, and interest payments.
Our cash flows from operating activities were $67.5 millionIn February 2022, we filed an automatically effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 providing for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, comparedpublic offering and sale, from time to $85.2 million for the same period in 2016. The decrease primarily resulted from having a net loss, which was due to increased expenses related to the redemptiontime, by us of unvested Class Bour preferred stock, common stock, debt securities, depository shares, warrants, right, units, at the estimated value per share on the dateand guarantees of termination, that had been earned by our former advisor for historical asset management services (see Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements),debt securities and expenses related to the PELP transaction.

Our net cash used in investing activities was $97.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to $148.8 million for the same period in 2016. DEBTThe decrease in cash used primarily resulted from the release of $35.9 million from restricted cash due to the completion of a reverse Section 1031 like-kind exchange, which originated from the sale of a property in December 2016.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we acquired six shopping centers for a total cash outlay of $111.7 million. During the same period in 2016, we acquired three shopping centers and additional real estate adjacent to previously acquired shopping centers for a total cash outlay of $132.3 million.
Financing Activities
Net cash flows from financing activities are affected by payments of distributions, share repurchases, principal and other payments associated with our outstanding debt, and borrowings during the period. Asfollowing table summarizes information about our debt obligations mature, we intend to refinance the remaining balance, if possible, or pay off the balances at maturity using proceeds from operations and/or corporate-level debt.

We meet the conditions of this requirement and thus, are not presenting separate financial statements. Furthermore, as permitted under Rule 13-01(a)(4)(vi) of Regulation S-X, we have excluded the summarized financial information for the Operating Partnership because the assets, liabilities, and results of operations of the Operating Partnership are not materially different than the corresponding in our 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 9, 2017. As of September 30, 2017, we were in compliance with the restrictive covenants ofconsolidated financial statements, and management believes such summarized financial information would be repetitive and would not provide incremental value to investors.

Generally, we expect our development and redevelopment projects to stabilize within 24 months. Our underwritten incremental unlevered yields on development and redevelopment projects are expected to range between 10%-12%. Our current in process projects represent an estimated total investment of $48.3 million. Actual incremental unlevered yields may vary from our underwritten incremental unlevered yield range based on the maturity date ofactual total cost to complete a project and its actual incremental annual NOI at stabilization.

DISTRIBUTIONSWe paid 2022 monthly distributions monthlyof $0.09 per share, or $1.08 annualized, for the months of January, February, March, and expect to continue paying distributions monthly unless our results of operations, our general financial condition, general economic conditions, or other factors, as determined byApril.

The timingthe stockholders of record at the close of business on May 16, 2022, June 15, 2022, and amount ofJuly 15, 2022, respectively. OP unit holders will receive distributions is determined by our Board and is influenced in part by our intentionat the same rate as common stockholders, subject to comply with REIT requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. certain withholdings.
To maintain our qualification as a REIT, we must make aggregate annual distributions to our stockholders of at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (which is computed without regard to the dividends paid deduction or net capital gain, and which does not necessarily equal net income (loss)or loss as calculated in accordance with GAAP). We generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the income that we distribute to our stockholders each year due to meeting the REIT qualification requirements. However, we may be subject to certain state and local taxes on our income, property, or net worth and to federal income and excise taxes on our undistributed income.
We have not established a minimum distribution level, and our charter does not require that we make distributions to our stockholders.

CASH FLOW ACTIVITIES—As of March 31, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash of $17.5 million, a net cash decrease of $98.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022.
Critical Accounting Policies
Real Estate Acquisition Accounting—In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business. This update amends existing guidance in order to clarify when an integrated set of assets and activitiesBelow is considered a business. We adopted ASU 2017-01 on January 1, 2017, and applied it prospectively. Under this new guidance, most of our real estate acquisition activity will no longer be considered a business combination and will instead be classified as an asset acquisition. As a result, most acquisition-related costs that would have been recorded on our consolidated statements of operations have been capitalized and will be amortized over the life of the related assets.
For a summary of allour cash flow activity (dollars in thousands):

Net cash used in financing activities(51,784)(123,125)71,341 (57.9)%
OPERATING ACTIVITIES—Our net cash provided by operating activities was primarily impacted by the following:
Property operations and working capital—Most of our critical accounting policies, referoperating cash comes from rental and tenant recovery income and is offset by property operating expenses, real estate taxes, and general and administrative costs. The increase in property operations was primarily due to a $5.7 million, or 6.8%, improvement in same center NOI as compared to the same period in 2021, and the execution of our external growth strategy. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we had a net cash outlay of $11.0 million from changes in working capital as compared to a net cash outlay of $15.3 million during the same period in 2021. This change was primarily driven by the timing of real estate tax payments and higher accrued interest in connection with the registered offering of $350 million aggregate principal amount of 2.625% senior notes, partially offset by higher bonus payments and lower prepaid rent.
Fee and management income—We also generate operating cash from our third-party investment management business, pursuant to various management and advisory agreements between us and the Managed Funds. Our fee and management income was $2.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, which increased $0.2 million as compared to the same period in 2021.
Cash paid for interest—During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we paid $14.8 million for interest, a decrease of $4.0 million over the same period in 2021, primarily due to our 2016debt activity in 2021, including early repayments of debt outstanding and lower average interest rates as a result of refinancing activities.
INVESTING ACTIVITIES—Our net cash (used in) provided by investing activities was primarily impacted by the following:
Real estate acquisitions—During the three months ended March 31, 2022, our acquisitions resulted in a total cash outlay of $101.4 million, as compared to a total cash outlay of $39.9 million during the same period in 2021.
Real estate dispositions—During the three months ended March 31, 2022, our dispositions resulted in a net cash inflow of $12.8 million, as compared to a net cash inflow of $58.4 million during the same period in 2021.

Capital expenditures—We invest capital into leasing our properties and maintaining or improving the condition of our properties. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we paid $18.6 million for capital expenditures, an increase of $5.1 million over the same period in 2021, primarily due to an increase in tenant improvements owing largely to our leasing volume during 2022 and 2021.
Return of investment in unconsolidated joint ventures—During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we had a return of investment in unconsolidated joint ventures of $0.8 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we had a return of investment in unconsolidated joint ventures of $2.7 million.
FINANCING ACTIVITIES—Our net cash used in financing activities was primarily impacted by the following:
Debt borrowings and payments—During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we had $16.5 million in net repayment of debt primarily as a result of early repayments of mortgage loans, partially offset by borrowings on our revolving credit facility. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we had net payments of $16.5 million, primarily as a result of early repayments of mortgage loans.
Distributions to stockholders and OP unit holders—Cash used for distributions to common stockholders and OP unit holders increased $6.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021, primarily due to an increase in shares of common stock outstanding as a result of our underwritten IPO.
Share repurchases—Cash outflows for share repurchases decreased by $77.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021, primarily as a result of a tender offer, which was settled in January 2021.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
There have been no material changes from the quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk disclosed in “Part II, Item 3.7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures Aboutabout Market Risk
We hedge a portionRisk” of our exposure to interest rate fluctuations through2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the utilization of interest rate swaps in order to mitigate the risk of this exposure. We do not intend to enter into derivative or interest rate transactions for speculative purposes. Our hedging decisions are determined based upon the facts and circumstances existing at the time of the hedge and may differ from our currently anticipated hedging strategy. Because we use derivative financial instruments to hedge against interest rate fluctuations, we may be exposed to both credit risk and market risk. Credit risk is the failure of the counterparty to perform under the terms of the derivative contract. If the fair value of a derivative contract is positive, the counterparty will owe us, which creates credit risk for us. If the fair value of a derivative contract is negative, we will owe the counterparty and, therefore, do not have credit risk. We seek to minimize the credit risk in derivative instruments by entering into transactions with high-quality counterparties. Market risk is the adverse effectSEC on the value of a financial instrument that results from a change in interest rates. The market risk associated with interest-rate contracts is managed by establishing and monitoring parameters that limit the types and degree of market risk that may be undertaken.February 16, 2022.



As of September 30, 2017, we had four interest rate swaps that fixed the LIBOR on $642 million of our unsecured term loan facilities, and we were party to an interest rate swap that fixed the variable interest rate on $10.8 million of one of our secured mortgage notes. We had no other outstanding interest rate swap agreements as of September 30, 2017.
As of September 30, 2017, we had not fixed the interest rate on $392.0 million of our unsecured debt through derivative financial instruments, and as a result, we are subject to the potential impact of rising interest rates, which could negatively impact our profitability and cash flows. The impact on our results of operations of a one-percentage point increase in interest rates on the outstanding balance of our variable-rate debt at September 30, 2017, would result in approximately $3.9 million of additional interest expense annually. The additional interest expense was determined based on the impact of hypothetical interest rates on our borrowing cost and assumes no changes in our capital structure.
Upon completion of the PELP transaction, we entered into two new variable-rate term loans with principal balances of $310 million and $175 million that mature in April 2022 and October 2024, respectively. On October 27, 2017, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement with a notional amount of $175 million that fixed the interest rate on the term loan maturing in 2022 at 3.29%. Also on October 27, 2017, we entered into an interest rate swap with a notional amount of $175 million that fixed the interest rate on the term loan maturing in 2024 at 3.93%. These interest rate swaps were effective November 1, 2017.
The information presented above does not consider all exposures or positions that could arise in the future. Hence, the information represented herein has limited predictive value. As a result, the ultimate realized gain or loss with respect to interest rate fluctuations will depend on the exposures that arise during the period, the hedging strategies at the time, and the related interest rates.
We do not have any foreign operations, and thus we are not exposed to foreign currency fluctuations.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
There have been no material changes to our risk factors and other risks and uncertainties as described in “Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors
For a listing of risk factors associated with investing in us, please see Item 1A. Risk Factors in Part IFactors” of our 20162021 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 9, 2017, and the risk factors listed below:February 16, 2022.
We recently transitioned to a self-managed real estate investment trust and have limited operating experience being self-managed.
Effective October 4, 2017, we transitioned to a self-managed real estate investment trust following the closing of a transaction to acquire certain real estate assets and the third-party asset management business of Phillips Edison Limited Partnership (“PELP”) in a stock and cash transaction (“PELP transaction”). While we no longer bear the costs of the various fees and


expense reimbursements previously paid to our former external advisor and its affiliates, our expenses now include the compensation and benefits of our officers, employees and consultants, as well as overhead previously paid by our former external advisor or their affiliates. Our employees now provide us services historically provided by our former external advisor and its affiliates. We are also now subject to potential liabilities that are commonly faced by employers, such as workers' disability and compensation claims, potential labor disputes, and other employee-related liabilities and grievances, and we bear the costs of the establishment and maintenance of any employee compensation plans. In addition, we have limited experience operating as a self-managed real estate investment trust (“REIT”) and we may encounter unforeseen costs, expenses, and difficulties associated with providing those services on a self-advised basis. If we incur unexpected expenses as a result of our self-management, our results of operations could be lower than they otherwise would have been. Furthermore, our results of operations following our transition to self-management may not be comparable to our results prior to the transition.
Mr. Edison, or his designee, will be nominated to the board of directors (“Board”) for each of the next ten succeeding annual meetings, subject to certain terminating events.
As part of the PELP transaction, Mr. Edison, or his designee, will be nominated to the Board for each of the ten succeeding annual meetings, subject to certain terminating events, including the sale or transfer of more than 35% of the partnership units (“OP Units”) of Phillips Edison Grocery Center Operating Partnership I, L. P. (“PECO I OP”) that he beneficially owns. As a result, it is possible that Mr. Edison may continue to be nominated as a director in circumstances when the independent directors would not otherwise have done so.
Mr. Edison shall continue to serve as Chairman of the Board until the third anniversary of the closing of the PELP transaction, subject to certain terminating events.
Our bylaws provide that Mr. Edison will continue to serve as Chairman of the Board until the third anniversary of the closing of the PELP transaction, subject to certain terminating events, including the listing of our common stock on a national securities exchange. As a result, Mr. Edison may continue to serve as Chairman of the Board in circumstances when the independent directors would not otherwise have selected him.
Upon closing of the PELP transaction, the PECO I OP partnership agreement was amended to, among other things, grant certain rights and protections to the limited partners, which may prevent or delay a change of control transaction that might involve a premium price for our shares of common stock.  
The amended and restated PECO I OP partnership agreement, which, among other things, grants certain rights and protections to the limited partners, including granting limited partners the right to consent to a change of control transaction. Furthermore, Mr. Edison currently has voting control over approximately 9.6% of the OP Units (inclusive of those owned by us) and therefore could have a significant influence over votes on change of control transactions. As part of the PELP transaction, we entered into certain provisions that should reduce the possibility that Mr. Edison or other protected partners (“Tax Protection Agreement”) would have an economic incentive to oppose a change of control transaction that would otherwise be in our best interest, we cannot be certain however that such limited partners would view a change of control transaction as favorably as our stockholders. The Tax Protection Agreement expires after ten years from the closing of the PELP transaction.
We have and will incur substantial expenses related to the PELP transaction and its integration.
We have incurred and will incur substantial expenses in connection with completing the PELP transaction. While we expected to incur a certain level of transaction and integration expenses, factors beyond our control could affect the total amount or the timing of its integration expenses. As a result, the transaction and integration expenses associated with the PELP transaction could, particularly in the near term, exceed the savings that we expect to achieve from the acquisition of the companies contributed under the PELP transaction (“Contributed Companies”) following the closing. If the expenses we incur as a result of the PELP transaction are higher than anticipated, our net income per common share and funds from operations per common share would be adversely affected.
Our future results will suffer if we do not effectively manage our expanded portfolio and operations.
There can be no assurance, however, regarding when or to what extent we will be able to realize the benefits of the PELP transaction, which may be difficult, unpredictable and subject to delays. We will be required to devote significant management attention and resources to integrating our business practices and operations with the Contributed Companies. It is possible that the integration process could result in the distraction of our management, the disruption of our ongoing business or inconsistencies in our operations, services, standards, controls, procedures and policies, any of which could adversely affect our ability to maintain relationships with operators, vendors and employees or to fully achieve the anticipated benefits of the PELP transaction. There may also be potential unknown or unforeseen liabilities, increased expenses, or delays associated with integrating the Contributed Companies into us.
With the closing of the PELP transaction, we have an expanded portfolio and operations, and likely will continue to expand our operations through additional acquisitions and other strategic transactions, some of which may involve complex challenges.


Our future success will depend, in part, upon our ability to manage expansion opportunities, integrate new operations into our existing business in an efficient and timely manner, successfully monitor our operations, costs, regulatory compliance and service quality and maintain other necessary internal controls. There can be no assurance that our expansion or acquisition opportunities will be successful, or that it will realize our expected operating efficiencies, cost savings, revenue enhancements, synergies or other benefits.
We may be unable to retain key employees.
Our success after the PELP transaction closing depends in part upon its ability to retain key employees. Key employees of the Contributed Companies and subsidiaries thereof may depart because of issues relating to the uncertainty and difficulty of integration. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that we will be able to retain key employees.
We may be exposed to risks to which we have not historically been exposed to.
We historically have not had employees. We now have employees following the consummation of the PELP transaction, and as their employer, we will be subject to those potential liabilities that are commonly faced by employers, such as workers disability and compensation claims, potential labor disputes and other employee-related liabilities and grievances. Further, we will bear the costs of the establishment and maintenance of health, retirement and similar benefit plans for our employees.
Following the closing of the PELP transaction, we agreed to honor and fulfill the rights to certain indemnification claims for acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the closing in favor of managers, directors, officers, trustees, agents or fiduciaries of any Contributed Company or subsidiary thereof.
We have agreed to honor and fulfill, following the closing, the rights to indemnification and exculpation from liabilities for acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the closing now existing in favor of a manager, director, officer, trustee, agent or fiduciary of any Contributed Company or subsidiary contained in (i) the organizational documents of the Contributed Companies and their subsidiaries and (ii) all existing indemnification agreements of the Contributed Companies and their subsidiaries. For six years after the closing, we may not amend, modify or repeal the organizational documents of the Contributed Companies and their subsidiaries in any way that would adversely affect such rights. We may incur substantial costs to address such claims and are limited in our ability to modify such indemnification obligations.
The estimated net asset value per common share may decline now or in the future as a result of the PELP transaction.
The estimated net asset value per common share may decline as a result of the PELP transaction for a number of reasons, including if we do not achieve the perceived benefits of the PELP transaction as rapidly or to the extent that is anticipated.
We cannot assure stockholders that we will be able to continue paying distributions at the rate currently paid.
We expect to continue our current distribution practices following the closing of the PELP transaction. Stockholders however, may not receive distributions following the closing of the PELP transaction equivalent to those previously paid by us for various reasons, including the following:
as a result of the PELP transaction and the issuance of OP Units in connection with the PELP transaction, the total amount of cash required for us to pay distributions at our current rate has increased;
we may not have enough cash to pay such distributions due to changes in our cash requirements, indebtedness, capital spending plans, cash flows or financial position or as a result of unknown or unforeseen liabilities incurred in connection with the PELP transaction;
decisions on whether, when and in what amounts to make any future distributions will remain at all times entirely at the discretion of the Board, which reserves the right to change our distribution practices at any time and for any reason; and
we may desire to retain cash to maintain or improve our credit ratings and financial position.
Existing and future stockholders have no contractual or other legal right to distributions that have not been declared.
We may have failed to uncover all liabilities of the Contributed Companies through the due diligence process prior to the PELP transaction, exposing us to potentially large, unanticipated costs.
Prior to completing the PELP transaction, we performed certain due diligence reviews of the business of PELP. Our due diligence review may not have adequately uncovered all of the contingent or undisclosed liabilities we may incur as a consequence of the PELP transaction. Any such liabilities could cause us to experience potentially significant losses, which could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.


The Tax Protection Agreement, during its term, could limit PECO I OP’s ability to sell or otherwise dispose of certain properties and may require PECO I OP to maintain certain debt levels that otherwise would not be required to operate its business.
We and PECO I OP entered into a Tax Protection Agreement at closing, pursuant to which if PECO I OP (i) sells, exchanges, transfers, conveys or otherwise disposes of a Protected Property (as defined in the Tax Protection Agreement) in a taxable transaction for a period of ten years commencing on the closing (the “Tax Protection Period”) or (ii) fails, prior to the expiration of the Tax Protection Period, to maintain minimum levels of indebtedness that would be allocable to each Protected Partner (as defined in the Tax Protection Agreement) for tax purposes or, alternatively, fails to offer such Protected Partner the opportunity to guarantee specific types of PECO I OP’s indebtedness in order to enable such Protected Partner to continue to defer certain tax liabilities, PECO I OP will indemnify each affected Protected Partner against certain resulting tax liabilities. Therefore, although it may be in the stockholders’ best interest for us to cause PECO I OP to sell, exchange, transfer, convey or otherwise dispose of one of these properties, it may be economically prohibitive for us to do so during the Tax Protection Period because of these indemnity obligations. Moreover, these obligations may require us to cause PECO I OP to maintain more or different indebtedness than we would otherwise require for our business. As a result, the Tax Protection Agreement will, during its term, restrict our ability to take actions or make decisions that otherwise would be in our best interests.
If PECO I OP fails to qualify as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we would fail to qualify as a REIT and suffer other adverse consequences.
We believe that PECO I OP is organized and will be operated in a manner so as to be treated as a partnership, and not an association or publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a partnership, PECO I OP will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on its income. Instead, each of its partners, including us, will be allocated that partner’s share of PECO I OP’s income. No assurance can be provided, however, that the Internal Revenue Service will not challenge PECO I OP’s status as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, or that a court would not sustain such a challenge. If the Internal Revenue Service were successful in treating PECO I OP as an association or publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we would fail to meet the gross income tests and certain of the asset tests applicable to REITs and, accordingly, would cease to qualify as a REIT. Also, the failure of PECO I OP to qualify as a partnership would cause it to become subject to U.S. federal corporate income tax, which would reduce significantly the amount of its cash available for debt service and for distribution to its partners, including us.
PECO I OP has a carryover tax basis on certain of its assets as a result of the PELP transaction, and the amount that we have to distribute to Stockholders therefore may be higher.
As a result of the PELP transaction, certain of PECO I OP’s properties have carryover tax bases that are lower than the fair market values of these properties at the time of the acquisition. As a result of this lower aggregate tax basis, PECO I OP will recognize higher taxable gain upon the sale of these assets, and PECO I OP will be entitled to lower depreciation deductions on these assets than if it had purchased these properties in taxable transactions at the time of the acquisition. Such lower depreciation deductions and increased gains on sales allocated to us generally will increase the amount of our required distribution under the REIT rules, and will decrease the portion of any distribution that otherwise would have been treated as a “return of capital” distribution.
We intend to use taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRSs”), which may cause us to fail to qualify as a REIT.
To qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, we hold, and plan to continue to hold, our non-qualifying REIT assets and conduct our non-qualifying REIT income activities in or through one or more TRSs. A TRS is a corporation other than a REIT in which a REIT directly or indirectly holds stock, and that has made a joint election with such REIT to be treated as a TRS. A TRS also includes any corporation other than a REIT with respect to which a TRS owns securities possessing more than 35% of the total voting power or value of the outstanding securities of such corporation. Other than some activities relating to lodging and health care facilities, a TRS may generally engage in any business, including the provision of customary or non-customary services to tenants of its parent REIT. A TRS is subject to income tax as a regular C corporation.
The net income of our TRSs is not required to be distributed to us and income that is not distributed to us will generally not be subject to the REIT income distribution requirement. However, our TRS may pay dividends. Such dividend income should qualify under the 95%, but not the 75%, gross income test. We will monitor the amount of the dividend and other income from our TRS and will take actions intended to keep this income, and any other non-qualifying income, within the limitations of the REIT income tests. While we expect these actions will prevent a violation of the REIT income tests, we cannot guarantee that such actions will in all cases prevent such a violation.


Our ownership of TRSs will be subject to limitations that could prevent us from growing our management business and our transactions with our TRSs could cause us to be subject to a 100% penalty tax on certain income or deductions if those transactions are not conducted on an arm’s-length basis.
Overall, (i) for taxable years beginning prior to January 1, 2018, no more than 25% of the value of a REIT’s gross assets, and (ii) for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017, no more than 20% of the value of a REIT’s gross assets, may consist of interests in TRSs; compliance with this limitation could limit our ability to grow our management business. In addition, the Internal Revenue Code limits the deductibility of interest paid or accrued by a TRS to its parent REIT to assure that the TRS is subject to an appropriate level of corporate taxation. The Internal Revenue Code also imposes a 100% excise tax on certain transactions between a TRS and its parent REIT that are not conducted on an arm’s-length basis. We will monitor the value of investments in our TRSs in order to ensure compliance with TRS ownership limitations and will structure our transactions with our TRSs on terms that we believe are arm’s-length to avoid incurring the 100% excise tax described above. There can be no assurance, however, that we will be able to comply with the TRS ownership limitation or be able to avoid application of the 100% excise tax.

On November 8, 2017, our Board increased the estimated value per share of our common stock to $11.00 based substantially on the estimated market value of our portfolio of real estate properties our recently acquired third-party asset management business as of October 5, 2017, the first full business day after the closing of the PELP transaction. Prior to November 8, 2017, the estimated value per share was $10.20 (see Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements). The repurchase price per share for all stockholders is equal to the estimated value per share on the date of the repurchase.
(2)
We announced the commencement of the share repurchase program (“SRP”) on August 12, 2010, and it was subsequently amended on September 29, 2011, and on April 14, 2016.
(3)
We currently limit the dollar value and number of shares that may yet be repurchased under the SRP, as described below.
Our SRP may provide a limited opportunity for stockholders to haveapproximately 533,000 shares of common stock repurchased, subject to certain restrictions and limitations that are discussed below:
During any calendar year, we may repurchase no more than 5%in redemption of approximately 533,000 OP units. These shares of common stock were issued in reliance on an exemption from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the weighted-average numberSecurities Act of 1933, as amended. We relied on the exemption under Section 4(a)(2) based upon factual representations received from the limited partners who received the shares outstandingof common stock.
SHARE REPURCHASES—We do not have a publicly announced repurchase plan in effect. The table below summarizes other repurchases of our common stock made during the prior calendar year.three months ended March 31, 2022:

(1)Represents common shares surrendered to repurchase shares if the repurchase would violate the restrictions on distributions under Maryland law, which prohibits distributions that would cause a corporationus to fail to meetsatisfy statutory tests of solvency.
The cash available for repurchases on any particular date will generally be limited to the proceeds from the DRIP during the preceding four fiscal quarters, less any cash already used for repurchases since the beginning of the same period; however, subject to the limitations described above, we may use other sources of cash at the discretion of the Board. The limitations described above do not apply to shares repurchased due to a stockholder’s death, “qualifying disability,” or “determination of incompetence.”
Only those stockholders who purchased their shares from us or received their shares from us (directly or indirectly) through one or more non-cash transactions may be able to participate in the SRP. In other words, once our shares are transferred for value by a stockholder, the transferee and all subsequent holders of the shares are not eligible to participate in the SRP.
The Board reserves the right, in its sole discretion, at any time and from time to time, to reject any request for repurchase.


Our Board may amend, suspend, or terminate the program upon 30 days’ notice. We may provide notice by including such information (a) in a Current Report on Form 8-K or in our annual or quarterly reports, all publicly filedminimum tax withholding obligations associated with the SEC, or (b) in a separate mailing to the stockholders. In connection with the May announcementvesting of the PELP transaction (see Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements), the SRP was suspended during the monthrestricted stock awards under our equity-based compensation plan which were repurchased at an aggregate purchase price of May and resumed in June.approximately $1.0 million (average price of $32.86 per share).
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, repurchase requests surpassed the funding limits under the SRP. Due to the program’s funding limits, no funds will be available for the remainder of 2017. When we are unable to fulfill all repurchase requests in any month, we will honor requests on a pro rata basis to the extent possible. As of September 30, 2017, we had 9.8 million shares of unfulfilled repurchase requests, which will be treated as requests for repurchase during future months until satisfied or withdrawn. We continue to fulfill repurchases sought upon a stockholder’s death, “qualifying disability,” or “determination of incompetence” in accordance with the terms of the SRP.
