EXPLANATORY NOTE

This report combines the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 of Simon Property Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and Simon Property Group, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership. Unless stated otherwise or the context otherwise requires, references to “Simon” mean Simon Property Group, Inc. and references to the “Operating Partnership” mean Simon Property Group, L.P. References to “we,” “us” and “our” mean collectively Simon, the Operating Partnership and those entities/subsidiaries owned or controlled by Simon and/or the Operating Partnership.

Simon is a real estate investment trust, or REIT, under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Internal Revenue Code. We are structured as an umbrella partnership REIT under which substantially all of our business is conducted through the Operating Partnership, Simon’s majority-owned partnership subsidiary, for which Simon is the general partner. As of ~~June 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, Simon owned an approximate 87.4% ownership interest in the Operating Partnership, with the remaining 12.6% ownership interest owned by limited partners. As the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, Simon has exclusive control of the Operating Partnership’s day-to-day management.

We operate Simon and the Operating Partnership as one business. The management of Simon consists of the same members as the management of the Operating Partnership. As general partner with control of the Operating Partnership, Simon consolidates the Operating Partnership for financial reporting purposes, and Simon has no material assets or liabilities other than its investment in the Operating Partnership. Therefore, the assets and liabilities of Simon and the Operating Partnership are the same on their respective financial statements.

We believe that combining the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q of Simon and the Operating Partnership into this single report provides the following benefits:

●

enhances investors’ understanding of Simon and the Operating Partnership by enabling investors to view the business as a whole in the same manner as management views and operates the business;

●

eliminates duplicative disclosure and provides a more streamlined presentation since substantially all of the disclosure in this report applies to both Simon and the Operating Partnership; and

●

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

We believe it is important for investors to understand the few differences between Simon and the Operating Partnership in the context of how we operate as a consolidated company. The primary difference is that Simon itself does not conduct business, other than acting as the general partner of the Operating Partnership and issuing equity or equity-related instruments from time to time. In addition, Simon itself does not incur any indebtedness, as all debt is incurred by the Operating Partnership or entities/subsidiaries owned or controlled by the Operating Partnership.

The Operating Partnership holds, directly or indirectly, substantially all of our assets, including our ownership interests in our joint ventures. The Operating Partnership conducts substantially all of our business and is structured as a partnership with no publicly traded equity. Except for the net proceeds from equity issuances by Simon, which are contributed to the capital of the Operating Partnership in exchange for, in the case of common stock issuances by Simon, common units of partnership interest in the Operating Partnership, or units, or, in the case of preferred stock issuances by Simon, preferred units of partnership interest in the Operating Partnership, or preferred units, the Operating Partnership, directly or indirectly, generates the capital required by our business through its operations, the incurrence of indebtedness, proceeds received from the disposition of certain properties and joint ventures and the issuance of units or preferred units to third parties.

The presentation of stockholders’ equity, partners’ equity and noncontrolling interests are the main areas of difference between the consolidated financial statements of Simon and those of the Operating Partnership. The differences between stockholders’ equity and partners’ equity result from differences in the equity issued at the Simon and Operating Partnership levels. The units held by limited partners in the Operating Partnership are accounted for as partners’ equity in the Operating Partnership’s financial statements and as noncontrolling interests in Simon’s financial statements. The noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership’s financial statements include the interests of unaffiliated partners in various consolidated partnerships. The noncontrolling interests in Simon’s financial statements include the same noncontrolling interests at the Operating Partnership level and, as previously stated, the units held by limited partners of the Operating Partnership. Although classified differently, total equity of Simon and the Operating Partnership is the same.

To help investors understand the differences between Simon and the Operating Partnership, this report provides:

●

separate consolidated financial statements for Simon and the Operating Partnership;

●

a single set of condensed notes to such consolidated financial statements that includes separate discussions of noncontrolling interests and stockholders’ equity or partners’ equity, accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and per share and per unit data, as applicable;

Table of Contents

●

a combined Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section that also includes discrete information related to each entity; and

●

separate Part II, Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds sections related to each entity.

This report also includes separate Part I, Item 4. Controls and Procedures sections and separate Exhibits 31 and 32 certifications for each of Simon and the Operating Partnership in order to establish that the requisite certifications have been made and that Simon and the Operating Partnership are each compliant with Rule 13a-14(a) or Rule 15d-14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and 18 U.S.C. §1350. The separate discussions of Simon and the Operating Partnership in this report should be read in conjunction with each other to understand our results on a consolidated basis and how management operates our business.

In order to highlight the differences between Simon and the Operating Partnership, the separate sections in this report for Simon and the Operating Partnership specifically refer to Simon and the Operating Partnership. In the sections that combine disclosure of Simon and the Operating Partnership, this report refers to actions or holdings of Simon and the Operating Partnership as being “our” actions or holdings. Although the Operating Partnership is generally the entity that directly or indirectly enters into contracts and joint ventures, holds assets and incurs debt, we believe that references to “we,” “us” or “our” in this context is appropriate because the business is one enterprise and we operate substantially all of our business through the Operating Partnership.

and where indicated in millions or billions)

1. Organization

Simon Property Group, Inc. is a Delaware corporation that operates as a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust, or REIT, under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Internal Revenue Code. REITs will generally not be liable for U.S. federal corporate income taxes as long as they distribute not less than 100% of their REIT taxable income. Simon Property Group, L.P. is our majority-owned Delaware partnership subsidiary that owns all of our real estate properties and other assets. According to the Operating Partnership’s partnership agreement, the Operating Partnership is required to pay all expenses of Simon. In these condensed notes to the consolidated financial statements, unless stated otherwise or the context otherwise requires, references to "Simon" mean Simon Property Group, Inc. and references to the "Operating Partnership" mean Simon Property Group, L.P. References to "we," "us" and "our" mean collectively Simon, the Operating Partnership and those entities/subsidiaries owned or controlled by Simon and/or the Operating Partnership. Unless otherwise indicated, these condensed notes to consolidated financial statements apply to both Simon and the Operating Partnership.

We own, develop and manage premier shopping, dining, entertainment and mixed-use destinations, which consist primarily of malls, Premium Outlets^®, and The Mills^®. As of ~~June 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, we owned or held an interest in ~~202~~199 income-producing properties in the United States, which consisted of 95 malls, 69 Premium Outlets, 14 Mills, 6 lifestyle centers, and 1815 other retail properties in 37 states and Puerto Rico. We also own an 80% noncontrolling interest in the Taubman Realty Group, LLC, or TRG, which has an interest in 24 regional, super-regional, and outlet malls in the U.S. and Asia.

As of ~~June 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, we also owned a 22.4% equity stake in Klépierre SA, or Klépierre, a publicly traded, Paris-based real estate company which owns, or has an interest in, shopping centers located in 1514 countries in Europe.

2. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of all controlled subsidiaries, and all significant intercompany amounts have been eliminated. Due to the seasonal nature of certain operational activities, the results for the interim periods ended ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and include all of the information and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) for interim reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation (including normal recurring accruals) have been included. The consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in the combined ~~2020~~2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K of Simon and the Operating Partnership. Certain reclassifications considered necessary for a fair presentation have been made to the prior period financial statements in order to conform to the current year presentation.

As of ~~June 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, we consolidated ~~132~~131 wholly-owned properties and 1817 additional properties that are less than wholly-owned, but which we control or for which we are the primary beneficiary.

We manage the day-to-day operations of 5452 of the 84 joint venture properties, but have determined that our partner or partners have substantive participating rights with respect to the assets and operations of these joint venture properties. Our investments in joint ventures in Japan, South Korea, Mexico, Malaysia, Thailand, Canada, Spain, and the United Kingdom comprise 23 of the remaining 3032 properties. These international properties are managed by joint ventures in which we share control.

Preferred distributions of the Operating Partnership are accrued at declaration and represent distributions on outstanding preferred units of partnership interests, or preferred units, and are included in net income attributable to noncontrolling interests. We allocate net operating results of the Operating Partnership after preferred distributions to limited partners and to Simon based on the partners’ respective weighted average ownership interests in the Operating Partnership. Net operating results of the Operating Partnership attributable to limited partners are reflected in net income attributable to noncontrolling interests. Simon’s

Preferred unit requirements in the Operating Partnership’s accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income represent distributions on outstanding preferred units and are recorded when declared.

3. Significant Accounting Policies

Cash and Cash Equivalents

We consider all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of 90 days or less to be cash and cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. Cash equivalents generally consist of commercial paper, bankers’ acceptances, Eurodollars, repurchase agreements, and money market deposits or securities. Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk include our cash and cash equivalents and our trade accounts receivable. We place our cash and cash equivalents with institutions of high credit quality. However, at certain times, such cash and cash equivalents are in excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and Securities Investor Protection Corporation insurance limits.

Equity Instruments and Debt Securities

Equity instruments and debt securities consist primarily of equity instruments, our deferred compensation plan investments, the debt securities of our captive insurance subsidiary, and certain investments held to fund the debt service requirements of debt previously secured by investment properties. At ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, we had equity instruments with readily determinable fair values of ~~$40.7~~$109.0 million and ~~$41.9~~$142.2 million, respectively. Changes in the fair value of these equity instruments are recorded in ~~earnings. Non-cash mark-to-market adjustments related to an investment we held in shares of a publicly traded real estate investment trust are included in~~ unrealized ~~gains (losses)~~losses in fair value of equity instruments in our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. ~~Non-cash mark-to-market adjustments related to other non-real estate securities with readily determinable fair values for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 were nil in each period.~~ At ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, we had equity instruments without readily determinable fair values of ~~$314.0~~$223.0 million and ~~$309.3~~$217.2 million, respectively, for which we have elected the measurement alternative. We regularly evaluate these investments for any impairment in their estimated fair value, as well as any observable price changes for an identical or similar equity instrument of the same issuer, and determined that no material adjustment in the carrying value was required for the three ~~or six~~ months ended ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and ~~2020.~~2021.

Our deferred compensation plan equity instruments are valued based upon quoted market prices. The investments have a matching liability as the amounts are fully payable to the employees that earned the compensation. Changes in value of these securities and changes to the matching liability to employees are both recognized in earnings and, as a result, there is no impact to consolidated net income.

At ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, we held debt securities of ~~$50.1~~$34.9 million and ~~$40.5~~$60.9 million, respectively, in our captive insurance subsidiary. The types of securities included in the investment portfolio of our captive insurance subsidiary are typically U.S. Treasury or other U.S. government securities as well as corporate debt securities with maturities ranging from less than one year to ten years. These securities are classified as available-for-sale and are valued based upon quoted market prices or other observable inputs when quoted market prices are not available. The amortized cost of debt securities, which approximates fair value, held by our captive insurance subsidiary is adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts to maturity. Changes in the values of these securities are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) until the gain or loss is realized or until any unrealized loss is deemed to be other-than-temporary. We review any declines in value of these securities

for other-than-temporary impairment and consider the severity and duration of any decline in value. To the extent an other-than-temporary impairment is deemed to have occurred, an impairment is recorded and a new cost basis is established.

Our captive insurance subsidiary is required to maintain statutory minimum capital and surplus as well as maintain a minimum liquidity ratio. Therefore, our access to these securities may be limited.

Fair Value Measurements

Level 1 fair value inputs are quoted prices for identical items in active, liquid and visible markets such as stock exchanges. Level 2 fair value inputs are observable information for similar items in active or inactive markets, and appropriately consider counterparty creditworthiness in the valuations. Level 3 fair value inputs reflect our best estimate of inputs and assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability at the measurement date. The inputs are unobservable in the market and significant to the valuation estimate. We have 0 investments for which fair value is measured on a recurring basis using Level 3 inputs.

The equity instruments with readily determinable fair values we held at ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020~~2021 were primarily classified as having Level 1 ~~and Level 2~~ fair value inputs. In addition, we had derivative instruments which were classified as having Level 2 inputs, which consist primarily of foreign currency forward contracts and interest rate swap agreements with ~~a gross~~an asset balance of ~~$6.0~~$8.2 million at ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and ~~an insignificant gross asset balance~~$6.2 million at December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, and a ~~gross~~ liability balance of ~~$4.8 million and $44.6~~$1.5 million at ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020, respectively.~~2021.

Note 7 includes a discussion of the fair value of debt measured using Level 2 inputs. Level 3 inputs to our purchase accounting and impairment analyses include our estimations of net operating results of the property, capitalization rates and discount rates.

Noncontrolling Interests

Simon

Details of the carrying amount of our noncontrolling interests are as follows:


	As of		As of		As of		As of
	June 30,		December 31,		March 31,		December 31,
	2021		2020		2022		2021

Total noncontrolling interests reflected in equity	$	475,641	$	432,874	$	476,920	$	491,533

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests (which includes nonredeemable and redeemable noncontrolling interests in consolidated properties, limited partners’ interests in the Operating Partnership and preferred distributions payable by the Operating Partnership on its outstanding preferred units) is a component of consolidated net income. In addition, the individual components of other comprehensive income (loss) are presented in the aggregate for both controlling and noncontrolling interests, with the portion attributable to noncontrolling interests deducted from comprehensive income attributable to common stockholders.

The Operating Partnership

Our evaluation of the appropriateness of classifying the Operating Partnership’s common units of partnership interest, or units, held by Simon and the Operating Partnership's limited partners within permanent equity considered several significant factors. First, as a limited partnership, all decisions relating to the Operating Partnership’s operations and distributions are made by Simon, acting as the Operating Partnership’s sole general partner. The decisions of the general partner are made by Simon's Board of Directors or management. The Operating Partnership has no other governance structure. Secondly, the sole asset of

~~Table of Contents~~

Simon is its interest in the Operating Partnership. As a result, a share of common stock of Simon, or common stock, if owned by the Operating Partnership, is best characterized as being similar to a treasury share and thus not an asset of the Operating Partnership.

Limited partners of the Operating Partnership have the right under the Operating Partnership’s partnership agreement to exchange their units for shares of common stock or cash, as selected by Simon as the sole general partner. Accordingly, we classify units held by limited partners in permanent equity because Simon may elect to issue shares of common stock to limited

Table of Contents

partners exercising their exchange rights rather than using cash. Under the Operating Partnership’s partnership agreement, the Operating Partnership is required to redeem units held by Simon only when Simon has repurchased shares of common stock. We classify units held by Simon in permanent equity because the decision to redeem those units would be made by Simon.

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests (which includes nonredeemable and redeemable noncontrolling interests in consolidated properties) is a component of consolidated net income.

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Simon

The total accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) related to Simon’s currency translation adjustment was ($~~167.2)~~173.9) million and ($~~136.2)~~175.1) million as of ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, respectively.

Derivative Financial Instruments

We record all derivatives on our consolidated balance sheets at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative, whether we have designated a derivative as a hedge and whether the hedging relationship has satisfied the criteria necessary to apply hedge accounting. We may use a variety of derivative financial instruments in the normal course of business to selectively manage or hedge a portion of the risks associated with our indebtedness and interest payments. Our objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage our exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, we primarily use interest rate swaps and caps. We require that hedging derivative instruments be highly effective in reducing the risk exposure that they are designated to hedge. We formally designate any instrument that meets these hedging criteria as a hedge at the inception of the derivative contract. We have 0 credit-risk-related hedging or derivative activities.

As of ~~June 30, 2021 and December~~March 31, ~~2020,~~2022, we had 0 outstanding interest rate derivatives. As of December 31, 2021, we had the following outstanding interest rate derivatives related to managing our interest rate risk:

The carrying value of our interest rate swap agreements, at fair value, as of December 31, 2021 was a net asset balance of $0.6 million and is included in deferred costs and other assets. We generally do not apply hedge accounting to interest rate caps which had ~~a nominal~~an insignificant value as of ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020.~~2021, respectively.

We may enter into treasury lock agreements as part of an anticipated debt issuance. Upon completion of the debt issuance, the fair value of these instruments isthat had been recorded as part of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) ~~and~~ is amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt agreement.

The unamortized gain on our treasury locks and terminated hedges recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income was ~~$7.7~~$12.1 million as of ~~June 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, compared to an unamortized gain of ~~$8.7~~$6.9 million as of December 31, ~~2020.~~2021. Within the next 12 months, we expect to reclassify to earnings approximately ~~$0.4~~$1.0 million of gains related to terminated interest rate swaps from the current balance held in accumulated other comprehensive income.

Table of Contents

We are also exposed to foreign currency risk on financings of certain foreign operations. Our intent is to offset gains and losses that occur on the underlying exposures, with gains and losses on the derivative contracts hedging these exposures. We do not enter into either interest rate protection or foreign currency rate protection agreements for speculative purposes.

~~Table of Contents~~

We are also exposed to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates on financial instruments which are denominated in foreign currencies, primarily in Yen and Euro. We use currency forward contracts, cross currency swap contracts and foreign currency denominated debt to manage our exposure to changes in foreign exchange rates on certain Yen and Euro-denominated receivables and net investments. Currency forward contracts involve fixing the Yen:USD or Euro:USD exchange rate for delivery of a specified amount of foreign currency on a specified date. The currency forward contracts are typically cash settled in U.S. dollars for their fair value at or close to their settlement date.

We had the following Euro:USD forward contracts designated as net investment hedges at ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020~~2021 (in millions):

Asset balances in the above table are included in deferred costs and other assets. Liability balances in the above table are included in other liabilities.

We have designated certain currency forward contracts and the cross-currency swap as net investment hedges. Accordingly, we report the changes in fair value in other comprehensive income (loss). Changes in the value of these forward contracts are offset by changes in the underlying hedged Euro-denominated joint venture investments.

~~Simon Property Group Acquisition Holdings, Inc.~~

The Company sponsored, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, a special purpose acquisition corporation, or SPAC, named Simon Property Group Acquisition Holdings, Inc. On February 18, 2021, the SPAC announced the pricing of its initial public offering, which was consummated on February 23, 2021, generating gross proceeds of $345.0 million, which have been placed in a trust account and is included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet in Investments held in trust – special purpose acquisition company. The SPAC is a consolidated VIE which was formed for the purpose of effecting a business combination. The Company accounts for the noncontrolling interest in the SPAC as noncontrolling redeemable interests as these instruments are redeemable at the option of the holder and are classified as temporary equity at their redemption value in Simon’s accompanying consolidated balance sheet in Limited partners preferred interest in the Operating Partnership and noncontrolling redeemable interests and in the Operating Partnership’s accompanying consolidated balance sheet in Preferred units, various series, at liquidation value, and noncontrolling redeemable interests.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2020, the ~~FASB~~Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform,” which provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions to the US GAAP guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burdens of the expected market transition from LIBOR and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. Additional optional expedients, exceptions, and clarifications were created in ASU 2021-01. The guidance is effective upon issuance and generally can be applied to any contract modifications or existing and new hedging relationships through December 31, 2022. We ~~are currently evaluating~~elected the ~~impact that the expected market transition from LIBOR~~expedients in conjunction with transitioning certain debt instruments, as discussed in note 7, to alternative ~~references rates will have~~benchmark indices. There was no impact on our consolidated financial statements ~~as well as the applicability of the aforementioned expedients and exceptions provided in ASU 2020-04 and ASU 2021-01.~~at adoption.

4. Real Estate Acquisitions and Dispositions

Unless otherwise noted, gains and losses on property transactions are included in gain on acquisition of controlling interest, sale or disposal of, or recovery on, assets and interests in unconsolidated entities and impairment, net in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. We capitalize asset acquisition costs and expense costs related to business combinations, as well as disposition related costs as they are incurred. We incurred a minimal amount of transaction expenses during the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and ~~2020.~~2021.

~~2020 Dispositions~~

On October 1, 2020, we disposed of our interest in 1 consolidated retail property. A portion of the gross proceeds on this transaction of $33.4 million was used to partially repay a cross-collateralized mortgage. Our share of the $12.3 million gain is included in gain on acquisition of controlling interest, sale or disposal of, or recovery on, assets and interests in unconsolidated entities and impairment, net in the accompanying consolidated statement of operation and comprehensive income.

5. Per Share and Per Unit Data

We determine basic earnings per share and basic earnings per unit based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock or units, as applicable, outstanding during the period and we consider any participating securities for purposes of applying the two-class method. We determine diluted earnings per share and diluted earnings per unit based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock or units, as applicable, outstanding combined with the incremental weighted average number of shares or units, as applicable, that would have been outstanding assuming all potentially dilutive securities were converted into shares of common stock or units, as applicable, at the earliest date possible. The following tables set forth the components of basic and diluted earnings per share and basic and diluted earnings per unit.

For the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30, 2021~~,March 31, 2022, potentially dilutive securities include units that are exchangeable for common stock and long-term incentive performance units, or LTIP units, granted under our long-term incentive performance programs that are convertible into units and exchangeable for common stock. No securities had a material dilutive effect for the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and ~~2020.~~2021. We have not adjusted net income attributable to common stockholders and weighted average shares outstanding for income allocable to limited partners or units, respectively, as doing so would have no dilutive impact. We accrue dividends when they are declared. On June 21, 2021 Simon’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend for the second quarter of 2021 of $1.40 per share. At June 30, 2021, we accrued the second quarter dividend of $527.5 million, recorded in dividends payable in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet, which was paid in cash on July 23, 2021.

Joint ventures are common in the real estate industry. We use joint ventures to finance properties, develop new properties and diversify our risk in a particular property or portfolio of properties. As discussed in note 2, we held joint venture interests in 84 properties as of ~~June 30, 2021.~~March 31, 2022.

Certain of our joint venture properties are subject to various rights of first refusal, buy-sell provisions, put and call rights, or other sale or marketing rights for partners which are customary in real estate joint venture agreements and the industry. We and our partners in these joint ventures may initiate these provisions (subject to any applicable lock up or similar restrictions), which may result in either the sale of our interest or the use of available cash or borrowings, or the use of limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership, to acquire the joint venture interest from our partner.

We may provide financing to joint venture properties primarily in the form of interest bearing construction loans. As of ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, we had construction loans and other advances to these related parties totaling ~~$88.0~~$131.7 million and $88.4 million, respectively, which are included in deferred costs and other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Unconsolidated Entity Transactions

On July 1, 2021, we contributed to ABG all of our interests in both the Forever 21 and Brooks Brothers licensing ventures in exchange for additional interests in ABG. As a result, in the third quarter of 2021, we recognized a non-cash, pre-tax gain of $159.8 million representing the difference between the fair value of the interests received determined using Level 3 inputs and the carrying value of the intellectual property licensing ventures less costs to sell. In connection with this transaction, we recorded deferred taxes of $47.9 million. On December 20, 2021, we sold a portion of our interest in ABG, resulting in a pre-tax gain of $18.8 million. In connection with this transaction, we recorded tax expense of $8.0 million. Subsequently, we acquired additional interests in ABG for cash consideration of $100.0 million. At March 31, 2022, our interest in ABG was approximately 10.4%.

During the fourth quarter of 2021, we disposed of our interest in an unconsolidated property resulting in a gain of $3.4 million. Our share of the proceeds from this transaction was $3.0 million.

On June 1, 2021, we and our partner, ABG, acquired the licensing rights of Eddie Bauer. Our non-controlling interest in the licensing venture, Eddie Bauer Ipco, is 49% and was acquired for cash consideration of $100.8 million.

During the second quarter of 2021, we sold our interest in ~~one~~1 multi-family residential ~~investment.~~investment resulting in a gain of $14.9 million.

On December 29, 2020, we completed the acquisition of an 80% noncontrolling ownership interest in TRG, which has an interest in 24 regional, super-regional, and outlet malls in the U.S. and Asia. Under the terms of the transaction, we, through the Operating Partnership, acquired all of Taubman Centers, Inc., or Taubman, common stock for $43.00 per share in cash. Total consideration for the acquisition, including the redemption of Taubman’s $192.5 million 6.5% Series J Cumulative Preferred Shares

and its $170.00 million 6.25% Series K Cumulative Preferred Shares, and the issuance of 955,705 Operating Partnership units, was approximately $3.5 billion. Our investment includes the 6.38% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units for $362.5 million issued to us. The purchase price allocations are preliminary and subject to revision within the measurement period, not to exceed one year from the date of acquisition. Substantially all of our investment has preliminarily been determined to relate to investment property based on estimated fair values at the acquisition date. Our share of net ~~(loss) income~~losses was ($~~13.7 million) and ($38.5~~18.5 million) for the three ~~and six~~ months ended ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2022 and ($24.8 million) for the three months ended March 31, 2021, which includes amortization of our excess investment of ~~$31.6~~$49.0 million and ~~$63.1~~$31.6 million, for the same periods. Substantially all of our investment has been allocated to investment property based upon fair values determined at the acquisition date using Level 2 and 3 inputs. TRG’s total revenue, operating income before other items and consolidated net income were approximately ~~$271.6~~$162.6 million, ~~$85.4~~$61.9 million, and ~~$30.1~~$38.7 million, respectively, for the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2022 and $135.4 million, $36.8 million, and $8.7 million, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2021, before consideration of the amortization of our excess investment.

On December 7, 2020, we and a group of co-investors acquired certain assets and liabilities of J.C. Penney, a department store retailer, out of bankruptcy.

~~On September 15,~~In 2016, we and a group of co-investors acquired certain assets and liabilities of Aéropostale, a retailer of apparel and accessories, out of bankruptcy, and subsequently renamed SPARC Group. The interests were acquired through 2 separate joint ventures, a licensing venture and an operating venture. In April 2018, we contributed our entire interest in the licensing venture in exchange for additional interests in ~~ABG, a brand development, marketing, and entertainment company.~~ABG.

As a result, in the third quarter of 2021, we will recognize a non-cash gain representing the difference between the fair value of the interests received and the carrying value of the licensing ventures.

European Investments

At ~~June 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, we owned 63,924,148 shares, or approximately 22.4%, of Klépierre, which had a quoted market price of ~~$25.81~~$26.88 per share. Our share of net income (loss), net of amortization of our excess investment, was ~~$114.8~~$8.7 million and ~~$2.2 million~~($7.8 million) for the three months ended ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2022 and 2021, ~~and 2020, respectively, and $106.9 million and $9.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020,~~ respectively. Based on applicable Euro:USD exchange rates and after our conversion of Klépierre’s results to GAAP, Klépierre’s total revenues, operating income before other items and consolidated net income (loss) were approximately ~~$541.6~~$293.3 million, ~~$113.0~~$75.9 million and ~~$528.4~~$46.4 million, respectively, for the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and ~~$672.3~~$277.8 million, ~~$199.9~~$51.0 million and ~~$152.6 million,~~($15.2 million), respectively, for the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30, 2020.~~

During the six months ended June 30, 2021, Klépierre elected to step-up the tax basis of certain assets in Italy, which triggered a one-time payment at a significantly reduced tax rate. As a result of the step-up in tax basis, a previously established deferred tax liability was reversed resulting in a non-cash gain, of which our share was $118.4 million.

During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we recorded a $7.8 million net loss related to the impairment and disposition of certain assets of Klépierre. This transaction is included in gain (loss) on sale or disposal of, or recovery on, assets and interests in unconsolidated entities and impairment, net in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

As of ~~June 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, our legal percentage ownership interests in these properties ranged from 23% to 94%.

On January 1, 2021 our European investee gained control of Ochtrup Designer Outlets as a result of the expiration of certain participating rights held by a venture partner. This resulted in the consolidation of the property, requiring a remeasurement of our previously held equity interest to fair value and the recognition of a non-cash gain of $3.7 million in earnings during the first quarter of 2021, which includes amounts reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) related to the currency translation adjustment previously recorded on our investment. The gain is included in gain ~~(loss)~~ on acquisition of controlling interest, sale or disposal of, or recovery on, assets and interests in unconsolidated entities and impairment, net in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. The determination of the fair value consisted of Level 2 and 3 inputs and was predominately allocated to investment property.

~~On March 19, 2021,~~11, 2022, the Operating Partnership completed the issuance of ~~€750 million ($893.0 million U.S. dollar equivalent as of~~ the ~~issuance date) of~~following senior unsecured ~~notes at~~notes: $500 million with a floating interest rate of SOFR plus 43 basis points, and $700 million with a fixed interest rate of ~~1.125%~~2.650%, with a maturity ~~date~~dates of ~~March 19, 2033. Further, on March 23, 2021, the Operating Partnership repaid the remaining $1.25~~January 11, 2024 and February 1, 2032, respectively. The proceeds were used to repay $1.05 billion outstanding under the ~~Term~~Supplemental Facility ~~reducing it to zero.~~on January 12, 2022.

Mortgage Debt

Total mortgage indebtedness was ~~$6.8 billion and $7.0~~$5.4 billion at ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, respectively.

Covenants

Our unsecured debt agreements contain financial covenants and other non-financial covenants. The Facilities contain ongoing covenants relating to total and secured leverage to capitalization value, minimum earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, or EBITDA, and unencumbered EBITDA coverage requirements. Payment under the Facilities can be accelerated if the Operating Partnership or Simon is subject to bankruptcy proceedings or upon the occurrence of certain other events. If we were to fail to comply with these covenants, after the expiration of the applicable cure periods, the debt maturity could be accelerated or other remedies could be sought by the lender, including adjustments to the applicable interest rate. As of ~~June 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, we were in compliance with all covenants of our unsecured debt.

At ~~June 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, our consolidated subsidiaries were the borrowers under 4736 non-recourse mortgage notes secured by mortgages on 5039 properties and other assets, including 2 separate pools of cross-defaulted and cross-collateralized mortgages encumbering a total of 5 properties. Under these cross-default provisions, a default under any mortgage included in the cross-defaulted pool may constitute a default under all mortgages within that pool and may lead to acceleration of the indebtedness due on each property within the pool. Certain of our secured debt instruments contain financial and other non-financial covenants which are specific to the properties that serve as collateral for that debt. If the applicable borrower under these non-recourse mortgage notes were to fail to comply with these covenants, the lender could accelerate the debt and enforce its rights against their collateral. At ~~June 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, the applicable borrowers under these non-recourse mortgage notes were in compliance with all covenants where non-compliance could individually or in the aggregate, giving effect to applicable cross-default provisions, have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, liquidity or results of operations.

Fair Value of Debt

The carrying value of our variable-rate mortgages and other loans approximates their fair values. We estimate the fair values of consolidated fixed rate mortgages using cash flows discounted at current borrowing rates and other indebtedness using cash flows discounted at current market rates. We estimate the fair values of consolidated fixed rate unsecured notes using quoted market prices, or, if no quoted market prices are available, we use quoted market prices for securities with similar terms and maturities. The book value of our consolidated fixed rate mortgages and unsecured indebtedness including commercial paper was ~~$24.9~~$23.7 billion and ~~$23.4~~$23.3 billion as of ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, respectively. The fair values of these financial instruments and the related discount rate assumptions as of ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020~~2021 are summarized as follows:


	June 30,			December 31,			March 31,			December 31,

We paid a common stock dividend of $1.65 per share for the ~~six~~three months ended June 30, 2020, Simon purchased 1,245,654 shares at an average price of $122.50 per share. As Simon repurchased shares under the program, the Operating Partnership repurchased an equal number of units from Simon.

March 31, 2022. We paid a common stock dividend of $1.30 per share infor the ~~second~~first quarter of 2021 ~~and $2.60 per share for the six months ended June 30,~~ ~~2021. We paid a common stock dividend of $2.10 per share for the six months ended~~ ~~June 30, 2020~~. The Operating Partnership paid distributions per unit for the same amounts. On ~~June 21, 2021,~~May 9, 2022, Simon’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend for the second quarter of ~~2021~~2022 of ~~$1.40~~$1.70 per share, payable on ~~July 23, 2021~~June 30, 2022 to shareholders of record on July 2, 2021.

The distribution rate on units is equal to the dividend rate on common stock.

Temporary Equity

Simon

Simon classifies as temporary equity those securities for which there is the possibility that Simon could be required to redeem the security for cash irrespective of the probability of such a possibility. As a result, Simon classifies 1 series of preferred units in the Operating Partnership and noncontrolling redeemable interests in properties in temporary equity. Each of these securities is discussed further below.

Limited Partners’ Preferred Interest in the Operating Partnership and Noncontrolling Redeemable Interests in Properties. The redemption features of the preferred units in the Operating Partnership contain provisions which could require the Operating Partnership to settle the redemption in cash. As a result, this series of preferred units in the Operating Partnership remains classified outside permanent equity. The remaining interests in a property or portfolio of properties which are redeemable at the option of the holder or in circumstances that may be outside Simon’s control are accounted for as temporary equity. The carrying amount of the noncontrolling interest is adjusted to the redemption amount assuming the instrument is redeemable at the balance sheet date. Changes in the redemption value of the underlying noncontrolling interest are recorded within accumulated deficit in the consolidated statements of equity in issuance of unit equivalents and other. There were 0 noncontrolling interests

~~Stock Based~~Stock-Based Compensation

Our long-term incentive compensation awards under our ~~stock based~~stock-based compensation plans primarily take the form of LTIP units, restricted stock ~~grants,~~units, and restricted ~~stock units. These~~stock. The substantial majority of these awards are ~~either~~ market condition or performance-based, and are based on various ~~individual,~~market, corporate and business unit performance measures as further described below. The expense related to these programs, net of amounts capitalized, is included within home and regional office costs and general and administrative costs in the accompanying statements of operations and comprehensive income. In the first quarter of 2021, the Compensation Committee established and made awards under a 2021 Long-Term Incentive Program, or 2021 LTI Program. Awards under the 2021 LTI Program, took the form of LTIP units ~~and restricted stock units as further discussed below.~~

~~LTIP Programs.~~ The Compensation Committee has approved long-term, performance based incentive compensation programs, or the LTIP programs, for certain senior employees. Awards under the LTIP programs take the form of LTIP units,are a form of limited partnership interest issued by the Operating Partnership, which are subject to the participant maintaining employment with us through certain dates and other conditions as described in the applicable award agreements. Awarded LTIP units not earned in accordance with the conditions set forth in the applicable award agreements are forfeited. Earned and fully vested LTIP units are equivalent to units of the Operating Partnership. ~~During the performance period, participants~~Participants are entitled to receive distributions on the awarded LTIP units, ~~awarded to them~~as defined, equal to 10% of the regular quarterly distributions paid on a unit of the Operating Partnership. As a result, we account for these LTIP units as participating securities under the two class method of computing earnings per share. These are granted under The Simon Property Group, L.P. 2019 Stock Incentive Plan, or the 2019 Plan.

The grant date fair values of any LTIP units that are market-based awards are estimated using a Monte Carlo model, and the resulting fixed expense is recorded regardless of whether the market condition criteria are achieved if the participant performs the required service period. The grant date fair values of the market-based awards are being amortized into expense over the performance period, which is the grant date through the date at which the awards, if earned, become vested. The expense of the performance-based award is recorded over the performance period, which is the grant date through the date at which the awards, if earned, become vested, based on our assessment as to whether it is probable that the performance criteria will be achieved

Tenant receivables and accrued revenue in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets includes straight-line receivables of ~~$583.3~~$559.5 million and ~~$597.6~~$568.7 million ~~at June 30, 2021~~on March 31, 2022, and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, respectively.

In April 2020, the FASB staff released guidance focused on treatment of concessions related to the effects of COVID-19 on the application of lease modification guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 842, “Leases.” The guidance provides a practical expedient to forgo the associated reassessments required by ASC 842 when changes to a lease result in similar or lower future consideration. We have elected to generally account for rent abatements as negative variable lease consideration in the period granted, or in the period we determine we expect to grant an abatement. Further abatements granted in the future will reduce lease income in the period we grant, or determine we expect to grant, an abatement.

We have agreed to deferral or abatement arrangements with a number of our tenants as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Discussions with our tenants are ongoing and may result in further rent deferrals, lease amendments, abatements and/or lease terminations, as we deem appropriate on a case-by-case basis based on each tenant's unique financial and operating situation. In

addition, uncollected rent due from certain of our tenants is subject to ongoing litigation, the outcome of which may affect our ability to collect in full the associated outstanding receivable balances.

Table of Contents

In connection with rent deferrals or other accruals of unpaid rent payments, if we determine that rent payments are probable of collection, we will continue to recognize lease income on a straight-line basis over the lease term along with associated tenant receivables. However, if we determine that such deferred rent payments or other accrued but unpaid rent payments are not probable of collection, lease income will be recorded on the cash basis, with the corresponding tenant receivable and deferred rent receivable balances charged as a direct write-off against lease income in the period of the change in our collectability determination. Additionally, our assessment of collectability incorporates information regarding a tenant’s financial condition that is obtained from available financial data, the expected outcome of contractual disputes and other matters, and our communications and negotiations with the tenant.

When a tenant seeks to reorganize its operations through bankruptcy proceedings, we assess the collectability of receivable balances. Our ongoing assessment incorporates, among other things, the timing of a tenant’s bankruptcy filing and our expectations of the assumptions by the tenant in bankruptcy proceedings of leases at the Company’s properties on substantially similar terms.

10. Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

We are involved from time-to-time in various legal and regulatory proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of our business, including, but not limited to, commercial disputes, environmental matters, and litigation in connection with transactions such as acquisitions and divestitures. We believe that current proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, liquidity, or results of operations. We record a liability when a loss is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated.

Lease Commitments

As of ~~June 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, we are subject to ground leases that cover all or a ~~total~~portion of 23 of our consolidated properties ~~are subject to ground leases. The~~with termination dates ~~of these ground leases range from 2022 to~~extending through 2090, including periods for which exercising an extension option is reasonably assured. These ground leases generally require us to make fixed annual rental payments, or a fixed annual rental payment plus a percentage rent component based upon the revenues or total sales of the property. In addition, we have several regional office locations that are subject to leases with termination dates ranging from ~~2021~~2023 to 2028. These office leases generally require us to make fixed annual rental payments plus pay our share of common area, real estate taxes, and utility expenses. Some of our ground and office leases include escalation clauses. All of our lease arrangements are classified as operating leases. We incurred ground lease expense and office lease expense, which are included in other expense and home office and regional expense, respectively, as follows:

Guarantees of Indebtedness

Joint venture debt is the liability of the joint venture and is typically secured by the joint venture property, which is non-recourse to us. As of ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, the Operating Partnership guaranteed joint venture related mortgage indebtedness of ~~$212.4~~$155.5 million and ~~$219.2~~$209.9 million, respectively. Mortgages guaranteed by the Operating Partnership are secured by the property of the joint venture which could be sold in order to satisfy the outstanding obligation and which has an estimated fair value in excess of the guaranteed amount.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Our U.S. Malls, Premium Outlets, and The Mills rely upon anchor tenants to attract customers; however, anchors do not contribute materially to our financial results as many anchors own their spaces. All material operations are within the United States and no customer or tenant accounts for 5% or more of our consolidated revenues.

Hurricane Impacts

During the third quarter of 2020, 1 of our properties located in Texas experienced property damage and business interruption as a result of Hurricane Hanna. We wrote-off assets of approximately $9.6 million, and recorded an insurance recovery receivable, and have received $14.0 million of insurance proceeds from third-party carriers. The proceeds were used for property restoration and remediation and reduced the insurance recovery receivable.

COVID-19

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the novel strain of coronavirus, or COVID-19, a global pandemic and recommended containment and mitigation measures worldwide. The COVID-19 pandemic has had a material negative impact on economic and market conditions around the world, and, notwithstanding the fact that vaccines ~~have started to be~~are being administered in the United States and elsewhere, the pandemic continues to adversely impact economic activity in retail real estate. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve and governments and other authorities, including where we own or hold interests in properties, have at times imposed measures intended to control its spread, including restrictions on freedom of movement, group gatherings and business operations such as travel bans, border closings, business closures, quarantines, stay-at-home, shelter-in-place orders, density limitations and social distancing measures. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and these measures, the Company has experienced and may continue to experience material impacts including changes in the ability to recognize revenue due to changes in our assessment of the probability of collection of lease income and asset impairment charges as a result of changing cash flows generated by our properties and investments.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in this report.

Overview

Simon Property Group, Inc. is a Delaware corporation that operates as a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust, or REIT, under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Internal Revenue Code. REITs will generally not be liable for U.S. federal corporate income taxes as long as they distribute not less than 100% of their REIT taxable income. Simon Property Group, L.P. is our majority-owned Delaware partnership subsidiary that owns all of our real estate properties and other assets. According to the Operating Partnership’s partnership agreement, the Operating Partnership is required to pay all expenses of Simon. Unless stated otherwise or the context otherwise requires, references to “Simon” mean Simon Property Group, Inc. and references to the “Operating Partnership” mean Simon Property Group, L.P. References to “we,” “us” and “our” mean collectively Simon, the Operating Partnership and those entities/subsidiaries owned or controlled by Simon and/or the Operating Partnership.

We own, develop and manage premier shopping, dining, entertainment and mixed-use destinations, which consist primarily of malls, Premium Outlets^®, and The Mills^®. As of ~~June 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, we owned or held an interest in ~~202~~199 income-producing properties in the United States, which consisted of 95 malls, 69 Premium Outlets, 14 Mills, six lifestyle centers, and 1815 other retail properties in 37 states and Puerto Rico. We also own an 80% noncontrolling interest in the Taubman Realty Group, LLC, or TRG, which has an interest in 24 regional, super-regional, and outlet malls in the U.S. and Asia. In addition, we have redevelopment and expansion projects, including the addition of anchors, big box tenants, and restaurants, underway at properties in the ~~United States, Canada, Asia~~North America, Europe and ~~Europe.~~Asia. Internationally, as of ~~June 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, we had ownership in 3233 Premium Outlets and Designer Outlet properties primarily located in Asia, Europe, and Canada. ~~We also have two international outlet properties under development.~~ As of ~~June 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, we also owned a 22.4% equity stake in Klépierre SA, or Klépierre, a publicly traded, Paris-based real estate company which owns, or has an interest in, shopping centers located in 1514 countries in Europe.

We generate the majority of our lease income from retail tenants including consideration received from:

●

fixed minimum lease consideration and fixed common area maintenance (CAM) reimbursements, and

●

variable lease consideration primarily based on tenants’ sales, as well as reimbursements for real estate taxes, utilities, marketing and certain other items.

Revenues of our management company, after intercompany eliminations, consist primarily of management fees that are typically based upon the revenues of the property being managed.

We invest in real estate properties to maximize total financial return which includes both operating cash flows and capital appreciation. We seek growth in earnings, funds from operations, or FFO, and cash flows by enhancing the profitability and operation of our properties and investments. We seek to accomplish this growth through the following:

●

attracting and retaining high quality tenants and utilizing economies of scale to reduce operating expenses,

●

expanding and re-tenanting existing highly productive locations at competitive rental rates,

●

selectively acquiring or increasing our interests in high quality real estate assets or portfolios of assets,

●

generating consumer traffic in our retail properties through marketing initiatives and strategic corporate alliances, and

●

selling selective non-core assets.

We also grow by generating supplemental revenues from the following activities:

●

establishing our malls as leading market resource providers for retailers and other businesses and consumer-focused corporate alliances, including payment systems (such as handling fees relating to the sales of bank-issued prepaid cards), national marketing alliances, static and digital media initiatives, business development, sponsorship, and events,

●

offering property operating services to our tenants and others, including waste handling and facility services, and the provision of energy services,

●

selling or leasing land adjacent to our properties, commonly referred to as “outlots” or “outparcels,” and

●

generating interest income on cash deposits and investments in loans, including those made to related entities.

Table of Contents

We focus on high quality real estate across the retail real estate spectrum. We expand or redevelop properties to enhance profitability and market share of existing assets when we believe the investment of our capital meets our risk-reward criteria. We selectively develop new properties in markets we believe are not adequately served by existing retail outlet properties.

We routinely review and evaluate acquisition opportunities based on their ability to enhance our portfolio. Our international strategy includes partnering with established real estate companies and financing international investments with local currency to minimize foreign exchange risk.

To support our growth, we employ a three-fold capital strategy:

●

provide the capital necessary to fund growth,

●

maintain sufficient flexibility to access capital in many forms, both public and private, and

●

manage our overall financial structure in a fashion that preserves our investment grade credit ratings.

We consider FFO and net operating income, or NOI, and portfolio NOI to be key measures of operating performance that are not specifically defined by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP. We use these measures internally to evaluate the operating performance of our portfolio and provide a basis for comparison with other real estate companies. Reconciliations of these measures to the most comparable GAAP measure are included below in this discussion.

COVID-19

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the novel strain of coronavirus, or COVID-19, a global pandemic and recommended containment and mitigation measures worldwide. The COVID-19 pandemic has had a material negative impact on economic and market conditions around the world, and, notwithstanding the fact that vaccines ~~have started to be~~are being administered in the United States and elsewhere, the pandemic continues to adversely impact economic activity in retail real estate. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve and governments and other authorities, including where we own or hold interests in properties, have at times imposed measures intended to control its spread, including restrictions on freedom of movement, group gatherings and business operations such as travel bans, border closings, business closures, quarantines, stay-at-home, shelter-in-place orders, ~~capacity~~density limitations and social distancing measures. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and these measures, the Company has experienced and may continue to experience material impacts including changes in the ability to recognize revenue due to changes in our assessment of the probability of collection of lease income and asset impairment charges as a result of changing cash flows generated by our properties and investments. ~~Due to certain restrictive governmental orders placed on us, our domestic portfolio lost approximately 13,500 shopping days in 2020 the majority of which occurred in the second quarter.~~

As we developed and implemented our response to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and restrictions intended to prevent its spread on our business, our primary focus has been on the health and safety of our employees, our shoppers and the communities in which we serve. ~~In the second quarter of 2020, in connection with the property closures, we implemented a series of actions to reduce costs and increase liquidity in light of the economic impacts of the pandemic.~~

Results Overview

Diluted earnings per share and diluted earnings per unit ~~increased $0.98~~decreased $0.06 during the first ~~six~~three months of ~~2021~~2022 to ~~$3.24~~$1.30 from ~~$2.26~~$1.36 for the same period last year. The ~~increase~~decrease in diluted earnings per share and diluted earnings per unit was primarily attributable to:

●

increased income from unconsolidated entities of $268.8 million, or $0.72 per diluted share/unit, the majority of which is due to favorable year-over-year operations from, and additional interests in and ownership of, retailer investments of $202.2 million, or $0.54 per diluted share/unit,

●

increased other income of $49.4 million, or $0.13 per diluted share/unit, primarily due to an increase in lease settlement income of $43.7 million, or $0.12 per diluted share/unit, most of which occurred in the first quarter ofa 2021

●

~~a non-cash~~ gain ~~in 2021~~ on acquisitions and disposals of $93.1 million, or $0.25 per diluted share/unit, related to the disposition of our interest in one property of $89.3 million, or $0.24 per diluted share/unit, and a non-cash gain on the consolidation of one property of $3.7 million, or $0.01 per diluted share/unit, ~~and~~

●

an unrealized ~~favorable change~~losses in fair value of equity instruments of ~~$15.7~~$31.0 million, or ~~$0.04~~$0.08 per diluted share/unit,

●

decreased other income of $9.1 million, or $0.03 per diluted share/unit, primarily due to a decrease in lease settlement income of $19.1 million, or $0.06 per diluted share/unit, partially offset by

●

improved operations and core fundamentals, as discussed below,

●

increased ~~tax expense~~income from unconsolidated entities of ~~$47.0~~$66.1 million, or ~~$0.12~~$0.20 per diluted share/unit, the majority of which is due to favorable year-over-year operations from our domestic and international portfolios, including TRG,

●

decreased interest expense in 2022 of $16.9 million, or $0.05 per diluted share/unit, primarily due to ~~favorable year-over-year operations from retailer investments,~~the early extinguishment of nine secured loans in the fourth quarter of 2021 and

~~increased interest expense~~ the disposition of three retail properties in ~~2021 of $17.7 million, or $0.05 per diluted share/unit, due to Term Loan borrowings, which were subsequently replaced by notes issuances to fund our investment in TRG.~~2021.

Portfolio NOI increased ~~16.7%~~8.8% for the ~~six~~three month period in ~~2021~~2022 over the prior year period primarily as a result of ~~the acquisition of~~improved operations in our ~~interest in TRG. Excluding the impact of TRG, portfolio NOI increased 2.8%~~domestic and international portfolios compared to the prior year. Average base minimum rent for U.S. Malls and

Premium Outlets decreased ~~1.8%~~3.4% to ~~$55.03~~$54.14 psf as of ~~June 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, from ~~$56.02~~$56.07 psf as of ~~June 30, 2020.~~March 31, 2021. Ending occupancy for our U.S. Malls and Premium Outlets ~~decreased 1.1%~~increased 2.5% to ~~91.8%~~93.3% as of ~~June 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, from ~~92.9%~~90.8% as of ~~June 30, 2020, primarily due to 2020 tenant bankruptcy activity, partially offset by leasing activity.~~March 31, 2021.

Our effective overall borrowing rate at ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 on our consolidated indebtedness ~~increased 21~~decreased 11 basis points to ~~3.02%~~2.93% as compared to ~~2.81%~~3.04% at ~~June 30, 2020.~~March 31, 2021. This ~~increase~~decrease was primarily due to ~~an increase~~a decrease in the effective overall borrowing rate on variable rate debt of ~~108~~66 basis points ~~(2.03%~~(1.37% at ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 as compared to ~~0.95%~~2.03% at ~~June 30, 2020), partially offset by a decrease in the effective overall borrowing rate on fixed rate debt of 15 basis points (3.34% at June 30, 2021 as compared to 3.49% at June 30, 2020)~~March 31, 2021). The weighted average years to maturity of our consolidated indebtedness was 8.0 years and 7.8 years ~~and 7.3 years~~ at ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, respectively.

Our financing activity for the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 included:

Ending Occupancy Levels and Average Base Minimum Rent per Square Foot. Ending occupancy is the percentage of gross leasable area, or GLA, which is leased as of the last day of the reporting period. We include all company owned space except for mall anchors, mall majors, mall freestanding and mall outlots in the calculation. Base minimum rent per square foot is the average base minimum rent charge in effect for the reporting period for all tenants that would qualify to be included in ending occupancy.

~~Total Reported Sales per Square Foot.~~ ~~Given all~~Table of our U.S. retail properties were closed for a portion of the prior year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we are not presenting reported retail tenant sales per square foot as we do not believe the trends for the period are indicative of future operating results.Contents

Current Leasing Activities

During the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, we signed ~~409~~270 new leases and ~~981~~315 renewal leases (excluding mall anchors and majors, new development, redevelopment and leases with terms of one year or less) with a fixed minimum rent across our U.S. Malls and Premium Outlets portfolio, comprising approximately ~~4.8~~1.8 million square feet, of which ~~3.8~~1.3 million square feet related to consolidated properties. During the comparable period in ~~2020,~~2021, we signed ~~222~~151 new leases and ~~503~~406 renewal leases with a fixed minimum rent, comprising approximately ~~2.7~~2.2 million square feet, of which ~~2.0~~1.8 million square feet related to consolidated properties. The average annual initial base minimum rent for new leases was ~~$61.64~~$57.67 per square foot in ~~2021~~2022 and ~~$62.61~~$67.66 per square foot in ~~2020~~2021 with an average tenant allowance on new leases of ~~$55.59~~$56.16 per square foot and ~~$50.62~~$70.03 per square foot, respectively.

~~Leasing Spreads.~~ Leasing spreads can vary significantly based on the mix of leasing volume during the period and are dependent on factors such as property and space location, size of the space, term and whether lease income is structured as variable or fixed, or a mix thereof, among other factors. In addition, our historically reported leasing spreads did not include any estimates for variable lease income based on sales. As such, we are not presenting leasing spreads as we do not believe the trends for the period are indicative of future operating results.

Property operating expenses increased $25.5 million primarily due to the reopening of properties that had been closed during the second quarter of 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the effect of the on-going restrictions intended to prevent its spread and cost reduction efforts, as previously discussed.

Advertising and promotion expenses increased $6.9 million primarily due to the reopening of properties that had been closed during the second quarter of 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the effect of the on-going restrictions intended to prevent its spread and cost reduction efforts, as previously discussed.

Lease income increased $28.1 million, of which the property transactions accounted for a $6.4 million decrease. Comparable lease income increased $34.5 million, or 1.5%. Total lease income increased primarily due to an increase in variable lease income of $176.1 million primarily related to higher consideration based on tenant sales and lower negative variable lease income due to abatements granted in 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, partially offset by decreases in fixed minimum lease and CAM consideration recorded on a straight-line basis of $148.0 million.

Total other income increased $49.4 million, primarily due to an increase in lease settlement income of $43.7 million, a $14.9 million gain on the sale of our interest in a multi-family residential property, and a $4.8 million increase from the non-cash dilution gain on a non-retail investment, partially offset by an $8.7 million decrease related to higher land and outparcel sale activity in 2020, a $4.0 million decrease related to Simon Brand Ventures and gift card revenues, and a ~~$2.7~~$4.3 million ~~decrease related to business interruption proceeds received~~net increase in ~~2020.~~dividend income and other income.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Because we own long-lived income-producing assets, our financing strategy relies primarily on long-term fixed rate debt. Floating rate debt comprised ~~4.6%~~5.6% of our total consolidated debt at ~~June 30, 2021.~~March 31, 2022. We also enter into interest rate protection agreements from time to time to manage our interest rate risk. We derive most of our liquidity from positive net cash flow from operations and distributions of capital from unconsolidated entities that totaled ~~$2.0~~$1.0 billion in the aggregate during the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30, 2021.~~March 31, 2022. As of ~~June 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, the Operating Partnership has a ~~Credit Facility and a $3.5~~$4.0 billion unsecured revolving credit facility, or Credit Facility, and a Supplemental Facility, and together with the Credit Facility, the Credit Facilities. The Credit Facilities and the Commercial Paper program provide alternative sources of liquidity as our cash needs vary from time to time. Borrowing capacity under these sources may be increased as discussed further below.

Our balance of cash and cash equivalents ~~increased $279.2~~decreased $19.0 million during the first ~~six~~three months of ~~2021~~2022 to ~~$1.3 billion~~$514.9 million as of ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 as a result of the operating and financing activity, as further discussed in “Cash Flows” below.

On ~~June 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, we had an aggregate available borrowing capacity of approximately ~~$6.9~~$7.1 billion under the Credit Facilities, net of outstanding borrowings of $125.0 million and amounts outstanding under the Commercial Paper program of ~~$500.0~~$239.7 million and letters of credit of ~~$12.5~~$10.1 million. For the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, the maximum aggregate outstanding balance under the Credit Facilities was ~~$2.1~~$1.2 billion and the weighted average outstanding balance was ~~$817.0~~$265.0 million. The weighted average interest rate was 0.9% for the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30, 2021.~~March 31, 2022.

Simon has historically had access to public equity markets and the Operating Partnership has historically had access to private and public long and short-term unsecured debt markets and access to secured debt and private equity from institutional investors at the property level.

Our business model and Simon’s status as a REIT require us to regularly access the debt markets to raise funds for acquisition, development and redevelopment activity, and to refinance maturing debt. Simon may also, from time to time, access the equity capital markets to accomplish our business objectives. We believe we have sufficient cash on hand and availability under the Credit Facilities and the Commercial Paper program to address our debt maturities and capital needs through ~~2021.~~2022.

Cash Flows

Our net cash flow from operating activities and distributions of capital from unconsolidated entities for the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 totaled ~~$2.0~~$1.0 billion. In addition, we had net repayments from our debt financing and repayment activities of ~~$288.0~~

Table of Contents

$89.1 million in ~~2021.~~2022. These activities are further discussed below under “Financing and Debt.” During the first ~~six~~three months of ~~2021,~~2022, we also:

●

~~funded the acquisition of the licensing venture of Eddie Bauer and acquired additional interests in the licensing and operations of Forever 21, the aggregate cash portion of which was $157.1 million,~~

●

paid stockholder dividends and unitholder distributions totaling approximately ~~$977.8~~$621.5 million and preferred unit distributions totaling ~~$2.6~~$1.3 million,

●

funded consolidated capital expenditures of ~~$228.7~~$154.6 million (including development and other costs of ~~$26.1~~$24.7 million, redevelopment and expansion costs of ~~$144.6~~$102.4 million, and tenant costs and other operational capital expenditures of ~~$58.0~~$27.5 million), and

●

funded investments in unconsolidated entities of ~~$26.8~~$124.4 million.

In general, we anticipate that cash generated from operations will be sufficient to meet operating expenses, monthly debt service, recurring capital expenditures, and dividends to stockholders and/or distributions to partners necessary to maintain Simon’s REIT qualification on a long-term basis. At this time, we do not expect the impact of COVID-19 to impact our ability to fund these needs for the foreseeable future; however its ultimate impact is difficult to predict. In addition, we expect to be able to generate or obtain capital for nonrecurring capital expenditures, such as acquisitions, major building redevelopments and expansions, as well as for scheduled principal maturities on outstanding indebtedness, from the following, however a severe and prolonged disruption and instability in the global financial markets, including the debt and equity capital markets, may affect our ability to access necessary capital:

●

excess cash generated from operating performance and working capital reserves,

●

borrowings on the Credit Facilities and Commercial Paper program,

●

additional secured or unsecured debt financing, or

●

additional equity raised in the public or private markets.

~~Table of Contents~~

We expect to generate positive cash flow from operations in ~~2021,~~2022, and we consider these projected cash flows in our sources and uses of cash. These cash flows are principally derived from rents paid by our tenants. A significant deterioration in projected cash flows from operations, including one due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and restrictions intended to restrict its spread, could cause us to increase our reliance on available funds from the Credit Facilities and Commercial Paper program, further curtail planned capital expenditures, or seek other additional sources of financing.

Financing and Debt

Unsecured Debt

At ~~June 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, our unsecured debt consisted of ~~$18.9~~$19.5 billion of senior unsecured notes of the Operating Partnership, $125.0 million outstanding under the ~~Operating Partnership’s $4.0 billion unsecured revolving credit facility, or~~ Credit Facility, and ~~$500.0~~$239.7 million outstanding under the ~~Operating Partnership’s global unsecured commercial paper note program, or~~ Commercial Paper program.

The Credit Facility can be increased in the form of additional commitments ~~under the Credit Facility~~ in an aggregate ~~amount~~ not to exceed $1.0 billion, for a total aggregate size of $5.0 billion, subject to obtaining additional lender commitments and satisfying certain customary conditions precedent. Borrowings may be denominated in U.S. dollars, Euro, Yen, Pounds Sterling, Canadian dollars and Australian dollars. Borrowings in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are limited to 95% of the maximum revolving credit amount, as defined. The initial maturity date of the Credit Facility is June 30, 2024. The Credit Facility can be extended for two additional six-month periods to June 30, 2025, at our sole option, subject to satisfying certain customary conditions precedent.

Covenants

At ~~June 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, our consolidated subsidiaries were the borrowers under 4736 non-recourse mortgage notes secured by mortgages on 5039 properties and other assets, including two separate pools of cross-defaulted and cross-collateralized mortgages encumbering a total of five properties. Under these cross-default provisions, a default under any mortgage included in the cross-defaulted pool may constitute a default under all mortgages within that pool and may lead to acceleration of the indebtedness due on each property within the pool. Certain of our secured debt instruments contain financial and other non-financial covenants which are specific to the properties that serve as collateral for that debt. If the applicable borrower under these non-recourse mortgage notes were to fail to comply with these covenants, the lender could accelerate the debt and enforce its rights against their collateral. At ~~June 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, the applicable borrowers under these non-recourse mortgage notes were in compliance with all covenants where non-compliance could individually or in the aggregate, giving effect to applicable cross-default provisions, have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, liquidity or results of operations.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Our off-balance sheet arrangements consist primarily of our investments in joint ventures which are common in the real estate industry and are described in note 6 of the condensed notes to our consolidated financial statements. Our joint ventures typically fund their cash needs through secured debt financings obtained by and in the name of the joint venture entity. The joint venture debt is secured by a first mortgage, is without recourse to the joint venture partners, and does not represent a liability of the partners, except to the extent the partners or their affiliates expressly guarantee the joint venture debt. As of ~~June 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, the Operating Partnership guaranteed joint venture-related mortgage indebtedness of ~~$212.4~~$155.5 million. Mortgages guaranteed by the Operating Partnership are secured by the property of the joint venture which could be sold in order to satisfy the outstanding obligation and which has an estimated fair value in excess of the guaranteed amount. We may elect to fund cash needs of a joint venture through equity contributions (generally on a basis proportionate to our ownership interests), advances or partner loans, although such fundings are not typically required contractually or otherwise.

Hurricane Impacts

During the third quarter of 2020, one of our properties located in Texas experienced property damage and business interruption as a result of Hurricane Hanna. We wrote-off assets of approximately $9.6 million, and recorded an insurance recovery receivable, and have received $14.0 million of insurance proceeds from third-party carriers. The proceeds were used for property restoration and remediation and reduced the insurance recovery receivable.

During the third quarter of 2020, one of our properties located in Louisiana experienced property damage and business interruption as a result of Hurricane Laura. We wrote-off assets of approximately $11.1 million and recorded an insurance recovery

Acquisitions and Dispositions

Buy-sell, marketing rights, and other exit mechanisms are common in real estate partnership agreements. Most of our partners are institutional investors who have a history of direct investment in retail real estate. We and our partners in our joint venture properties may initiate these provisions (subject to any applicable lock up or similar restrictions). If we determine it is in our stockholders’ best interests for us to purchase the joint venture interest and we believe we have adequate liquidity to execute the purchase without hindering our cash flows, then we may initiate these provisions or elect to buy our partner’s interest. If we decide to sell any of our joint venture interests, we expect to use the net proceeds to reduce outstanding indebtedness or to reinvest in development, redevelopment, or expansion opportunities.

~~Acquisitions.~~Dispositions. ~~The Company sponsored, through~~We may continue to pursue the disposition of properties that no longer meet our strategic criteria or that are not a ~~wholly-owned subsidiary,~~primary retail venue within their trade area.

During 2021, we recorded net gains of $176.8 million primarily related to disposition activity which included the foreclosure of three consolidated retail properties in satisfaction of their respective $180.0 million, $120.9 million and $100.0 million non-recourse mortgage loans. We also disposed of our interest in an unconsolidated property resulting in a ~~special purpose acquisition corporation, or SPAC, named Simon Property~~gain of $3.4 million.

Joint Venture Formation and Other Investment Activity

During the first quarter of 2022, SPARC Group ~~Acquisition Holdings, Inc.~~ acquired certain assets and operations at Reebok and entered into a long-term strategic partnership agreement with ABG to become the core licensee and operating partner for Reebok in the United States.

On ~~February 18,~~July 1, 2021, we contributed to ABG all of our interests in both the ~~SPAC announced~~Forever 21 and Brooks Brothers intellectual property licensing ventures in exchange for additional interests in ABG. As a result, in the ~~pricing~~third quarter of ~~its initial public offering, which~~2021, we recognized a non-cash gain of $159.8 million representing the difference between fair value of the interests received and the carrying value of our interests in the licensing ventures, less costs to sell. On December 20, 2021, we sold a portion of our interest in ABG, resulting in a pre-tax gain of $18.8 million. In connection with this transaction, we recorded taxes of $8.0 million. Subsequently we acquired additional interests in ABG for tax consideration of $100.0 million. At December 31, 2021, our noncontrolling interest in ABG was ~~consummated on February 23,~~approximately 10.4%.

On June 1, 2021, ~~generating gross proceeds~~we and our partner, ABG, acquired the intellectual property licensing rights of ~~$345.0~~Eddie Bauer. Our non-controlling interest in the licensing venture is 49% and was acquired for cash consideration of $100.8 million. The SPAC is a consolidated VIE which was formed for the purpose of effecting a business combination and is targeting innovative businesses that operate within Simon’s “Live, Work, Play, Stay, Shop” ecosystem.

In the first quarter of 2021, we and our partner, ABG, each acquired additional 12.5% interests in the licensing and operations of Forever 21, our share of which was $56.3 million, bringing our interest to 50%. Subsequently the Forever 21 operations were merged into SPARC Group.

In January 2020, we acquired additional interests of 5.05% and 1.37% in SPARC Group and ABG, respectively, for $6.7 million and $33.5 million, respectively. During the third quarter of 2020, SPARC acquired certain assets and operations of Brooks Brothers and Lucky Brands out of bankruptcy. At June 30, 2021, our noncontrolling equity method interests in the operations venture of SPARC Group and in ABG were 50.0% and 6.6%, respectively.

~~Table of Contents~~

On July 1, 2021, we contributed to ABG all of our interests in both the Forever 21 and Brooks Brothers licensing ventures in exchange for additional interests in ABG bringing our total interest in ABG to approximately 11%. As a result, in the third quarter of 2021, we will recognize a non-cash gain representing the difference between fair value of the interests received and the carrying value of the licensing ventures.

~~Dispositions.~~ ~~We may continue to pursue the disposition of properties that no longer meet our strategic criteria or that are not a primary retail venue within their trade area.~~

During the second quarter of 2021, we sold of our interest in one multi-family residential investment. Our share of the gross proceeds on this transaction was $27.1 million. The gain on the sale of $14.9 million is included in other income in the accompanying consolidated statement of operation and comprehensive income.

~~During the first quarter of 2021, we recorded a gain of $89.3 million related to the foreclosure of a consolidated property in satisfaction of its $180 million non-recourse mortgage.~~

In July 2021, a consolidated property was foreclosed upon in satisfaction of its $120.9 million non-recourse mortgage resulting in a gain of approximately $87 million to be recorded in the third quarter.

On October 1, 2020, we disposed of our interest in one consolidated retail property. A portion of the gross proceeds on this transaction of $33.4 million was used to partially repay a cross-collateralized mortgage. Our share of the $12.3 million gain is included in gain on acquisition of controlling interest, sale or disposal of, or recovery on, assets and interests in unconsolidated entities and impairment, net in the accompanying consolidated statement of operation and comprehensive income.

~~Joint Venture Formation and Other Investment Activity~~

On June 1, 2021, we and our partner, ABG, acquired the licensing rights of Eddie Bauer. Our non-controlling interest in the licensing venture is 49% and was acquired for cash consideration of $100.8 million.

On December 29, 2020, we completed the acquisition of an 80% ownership interest in TRG, which has an ownership interest in 24 regional, super-regional, and outlet malls in the U.S. and Asia. Under the terms of the transaction, we, through the Operating Partnership, acquired all of Taubman Centers, Inc. common stock for $43.00 per share in cash. Total consideration for the acquisition, including the redemption of Taubman’s $192.5 million 6.5% Series J Cumulative Preferred Shares and its $170.0 million 6.25% Series K Cumulative Preferred Shares, and the issuance of 955,705 Operating Partnership units, was approximately $3.5 billion. Our investment includes the 6.38% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units for $362.5 million issued to us.

On December 7, 2020, we and a group of co-investors acquired certain assets and liabilities of J.C. Penney, a department store retailer, out of bankruptcy. Our noncontrolling interest in the venture is 41.67% and was acquired for cash consideration of $125.0 million.

On February 19, 2020, we and a group of co-investors acquired certain assets and liabilities of Forever 21, a retailer of apparel and accessories, out of bankruptcy. The interests were acquired through two separate joint ventures, a licensing venture and an operating venture. Our noncontrolling interest in each of the retail operations venture and in the licensing venture is 37.5%. Our aggregate investment in the ventures was $67.6 million. In connection with the acquisition of our interest, the Forever 21 joint venture recorded a non-cash bargain purchase gain of which our share of $35.0 million pre-tax is included in income from unconsolidated entities in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income in the second quarter of 2020.

Development Activity

We routinely incur costs related to construction for significant redevelopment and expansion projects at our properties. Redevelopment and expansion projects, including the addition of anchors, big box tenants, restaurants, as well as office space and residential uses are underway at properties in ~~the United States, Canada,~~North America, Europe and Asia.

Construction continues on certain redevelopment and new development projects in the U.S. and internationally that are nearing completion. Our share of the costs of all new development, redevelopment and expansion projects currently under construction is approximately ~~$854~~$768 million. Simon’s share of remaining net cash funding required to complete the new development and redevelopment projects currently under construction is approximately ~~$353~~$296 million. We expect to fund these capital projects with cash flows from operations. We seek a stabilized return on invested capital in the range of 7-10% for all of our new development, expansion and redevelopment projects.

International Development Activity. We typically reinvest net cash flow from our international joint ventures to fund future international development activity. We believe this strategy mitigates some of the risk of our initial investment and our exposure to changes in foreign currencies. We have also funded most of our foreign investments with local currency-denominated borrowings

that act as a natural hedge against fluctuations in exchange rates. Our consolidated net income exposure to changes in the volatility

of the Euro, Yen, Peso, Won, and other foreign currencies is not material. We expect our share of estimated committed capital for international development projects to be completed with projected delivery in 2022 or ~~capital expenditures in 2021 or 2022~~2023 is ~~$160~~$156 million, primarily funded through reinvested joint venture cash flow and construction loans.

Dividends, Distributions and Stock Repurchase Program

Simon paid a common stock dividend of $1.65 per share in the first quarter of 2022. Simon paid a common stock dividend of $1.30 per share in the ~~second~~first quarter of ~~2021 and $2.60 per share for the six months ended June 30,~~ 2021. ~~Simon paid a common stock of $2.10 per share for the six months ended June 30, 2020.~~ The Operating Partnership paid distributions per unit for the same amounts. On ~~June 21, 2021,~~May 9, 2022, Simon’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend for the second quarter of ~~2021~~2022 of ~~$1.40~~$1.70 per share, payable on ~~July 23, 2021~~June 30, 2022 to shareholders of record on July 2, 2021. On August 2, 2021, Simon’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend for the third quarter of 2021 of $1.50 per share, payable on September 30, 2021 to shareholders of record on SeptemberJune 9, ~~2021.~~2022. The distribution rate on units is equal to the dividend rate on common stock. In order to maintain its status as a REIT, Simon must pay a minimum amount of dividends. Simon’s future dividends and the Operating Partnership’s future distributions will be determined by Simon’s Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, based on actual and projected financial condition, liquidity and results of operations, cash available for dividends and limited partner distributions, cash reserves as deemed necessary for capital and operating expenditures, financing covenants, if any, and the amount required to maintain Simon’s status as a REIT.

On ~~February 11, 2019,~~May 9, 2022, Simon's Board of Directors authorized a common stock repurchase plan. Under the plan, Simon ~~was authorized to~~may repurchase up to $2.0 billion of its common stock during the two-year period commencing on May 16, 2022 and ending ~~February 11, 2021~~on May 16, 2024 in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions as market conditions warrant. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, Simon purchased 1,245,654 shares at an average price of $122.50 per share. As Simon repurchased shares under the program, the Operating Partnership repurchased an equal number of units from Simon.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements made in this section or elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may be deemed "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Although we believe the expectations reflected in any forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, we can give no assurance that its expectations will be attained, and it is possible that our actual results may differ materially from those indicated by these forward-looking statements due to a variety of risks, uncertainties and other factors. Such factors include, but are not limited to: uncertainties regarding the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and governmental restrictions intended to prevent its spread on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and liquidity and our ability to access the capital markets, satisfy our debt service obligations and make distributions to our stockholders; changes in economic and market conditions that may adversely affect the general retail environment; the potential loss of anchor stores or major tenants; the inability to collect rent due to the bankruptcy or insolvency of tenants or otherwise; the intensely competitive market environment in the retail industry, including e-commerce; an increase in vacant space at our properties; the inability to lease newly developed properties and renew leases and relet space at existing properties on favorable terms; our international activities subjecting us to risks that are different from or greater than those associated with our domestic operations, including changes in foreign exchange rates; risks associated with the acquisition, development, redevelopment, expansion, leasing and management of properties; general risks related to real estate investments, including the illiquidity of real estate investments; the impact of our substantial indebtedness on our future operations, including covenants in the governing agreements that impose restrictions on us that may affect our ability to operate freely; any disruption in the financial markets that may adversely affect our ability to access capital for growth and satisfy our ongoing debt service requirements; any change in our credit rating; changes in market rates of interest; the transition of LIBOR to an alternative reference rate; our continued ability to maintain our status as a REIT; changes in tax laws or regulations that result in adverse tax consequences; risks relating to our joint venture properties, including guarantees of certain joint venture indebtedness;

~~Table of Contents~~

environmental liabilities; the conflict in Ukraine; natural disasters; the availability of comprehensive insurance coverage; the potential for terrorist activities; security breaches that could compromise our information technology or infrastructure; and the loss of key management personnel. We discussed these and other risks and uncertainties under the heading "Risk Factors" in the combined ~~2020~~2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K of Simon and the Operating Partnership and in this report. We may update that

discussion in subsequent other periodic reports, but except as required by law, we undertake no duty or obligation to update or revise these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future developments, or otherwise.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Industry practice is to evaluate real estate properties in part based on performance measures such as FFO, diluted FFO per share, NOI, portfolio NOI and ~~portfolio~~beneficial interest of combined NOI. We believe that these non-GAAP measures are helpful to investors because they are widely recognized measures of the performance of REITs and provide a relevant basis for comparison among REITs. We also use these measures internally to measure the operating performance of our portfolio.

We determine FFO based upon the definition set forth by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) Funds From Operations White Paper – 2018 Restatement. Our main business includes acquiring, owning, operating, developing, and redeveloping real estate in conjunction with the rental of real estate. Gain and losses of assets incidental to our main business are included in FFO. We determine FFO to be our share of consolidated net income computed in accordance with GAAP:

●

excluding real estate related depreciation and amortization,

●

excluding gains and losses from extraordinary items,

●

excluding gains and losses from the acquisition of controlling interest, sale, disposal or property insurance recoveries of, or any impairment related to, depreciable retail operating properties,

●

plus the allocable portion of FFO of unconsolidated joint ventures based upon economic ownership interest, and

●

all determined on a consistent basis in accordance with GAAP.

You should understand that our computations of these non-GAAP measures might not be comparable to similar measures reported by other REITs and that these non-GAAP measures:

●

do not represent cash flow from operations as defined by GAAP,

●

should not be considered as an alternative to net income determined in accordance with GAAP as a measure of operating performance, and

●

are not an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity.
