Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

1.

Nature of Business and Financial Statement Presentation

1.
Nature of Business and Financial Statement Presentation

Nature of Business

SITE Centers Corp. and its related consolidated real estate subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company” or “SITE Centers”) and unconsolidated joint ventures are primarily engaged in the business of owning, leasing, acquiring, owning,redeveloping, developing redeveloping, leasing and managing shopping centers. Unless otherwise provided, references herein to the Company or SITE Centers include SITE Centers Corp. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The Company’s tenant base primarily includes a mixture of national and regional retail chains and local tenants. Consequently, the Company’s credit risk is primarily concentrated in the retail industry.

Use of Estimates in Preparation of Financial Statements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the year. The Company considered impacts to its estimates related to COVID-19, as appropriate, within its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, and there may be changes to those estimates in future periods. The Company believes that its accounting estimates are appropriate after giving consideration to the uncertainties surrounding the severity and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Unaudited Interim Financial Statements

These financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. However, in the opinion of management, the interim financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the results of the periods presented. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 20222023 and 2021,2022, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20212022.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the results of the Company and all entities in which the Company has a controlling interest or has been determined to be the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (“VIE”).entity. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Investments in real estate joint ventures in which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence, but does not have financial or operating control, are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Accordingly, the Company’s share of the earnings (or loss) of these joint ventures is included in consolidated net income (loss).

Revenue Recognition

Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Revenue and Receivables

Beginning in March 2020, the retail sector was significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.  Though the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on tenant operations varied by tenant category, local conditions and applicable government mandates, a significant number of the Company’s tenants experienced a reduction in sales and foot traffic, and many tenants were forced to limit

7


their operations or close their businesses for a period of time, primarily in 2020.  The COVID-19 pandemic also had a significant impact on the Company’s collection of rents from April 2020 through the end of 2020.  The Company engaged in discussions with most of its larger tenants that failed to satisfy all or a portion of their rent obligations and agreed to terms on rent-deferral arrangements (and, in a small number of cases, rent abatements) and other lease modifications with a significant number of such tenants.  As of March 31, 2022, the majority of these deferral arrangements for tenants that are not accounted for on the cash basis have been repaid.    

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company recorded net uncollectible revenue that resulted in rental income of $1.1 million, primarily due to rental income paid in 2022 related to outstanding amounts owed from tenants on the cash basis of accounting that were contractually due in 2020.  

For those tenants where the Company is unable to assert that collection of amounts due over the lease term is probable, regardless if the Company has entered into a deferral agreement to extend the payment terms, the Company has categorized these tenants on the cash basis of accounting.  As a result, all existing accounts receivable relating to these tenants have been reserved in full, including straight-line rental income, and no rental income is recognized from such tenants once they have been placed on the cash basis of accounting until payments are received.  The Company will remove the cash basis designation and resume recording rental income from such tenants on a straight-line basis at such time it believes collection from the tenants is probable based upon a demonstrated payment history, improved liquidity, the addition of credit-worthy guarantors or a recapitalization event.

Fee and Other Income

Fee and Other Income on the consolidated statements of operations includes revenue from contracts with customers, revenuewhich is primarily from contracts with Retail Value Inc. (“RVI”)the Company's unconsolidated joint ventures (Note 2).

Disposition of Shopping Centers and Joint Venture Interest

In February 2022, the Company acquired its partner’s 80% interest in 1 asset owned by the DDRM Properties Joint Venture (Casselberry Commons, Casselberry, Florida) for $35.6 million, and stepped up the previous 20% interest due to change in control.  The transaction resulted in Gain on Change in Control of Interests of $3.3 million (Note 4).

4.

Acquisitions

During the three months ended March 31, 2022,2023, the DDRM Joint Venture sold three shopping centers for an aggregate sales price of $40.2 million. The proceeds were used to repay mortgage indebtedness of the joint venture and for general corporate purposes of the joint venture.

Disposition of Joint Venture Interests

In 2021, one of the Company’s unconsolidated joint ventures sold its sole asset, a parcel of undeveloped land. The transaction had contingent proceeds based upon finalization of the tax returns and dissolution of the partnership. In the first quarter of 2023, the contingencies were resolved and the Company recorded a Gain on Sale and Change in Control of Interests of $3.7 million.

Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating fair value disclosures of financial instruments:

Measurement of Fair Value

At March 31, 2023, the Company used a pay-fixed interest rate swap to manage some of its exposure to changes in benchmark-interest rates. The estimated fair value was determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted fixed cash payments and the discounted expected variable cash receipts. The variable cash receipts are based on an expectation of interest rates

11


(forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate curves. In addition, credit valuation adjustments, which consider the impact of any credit enhancements to the contract, are incorporated in the fair value to account for potential non-performance risk, including the Company’s own non-performance risk and the respective counterparty’s non-performance risk. The Company determined that the significant inputs used to value its derivative fell within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Items Measured on Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The Company maintains an interest rate swap agreement (included in Other Assets) measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2023. The following table presents information about the Company’s financial assets and liabilities and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques used by the Company to determine such fair value (in millions):

7.

Fair Value Measurements

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating fair value disclosures of debt. The fair market value of senior notes is determined using a pricing model to approximate the trading price of the Company’s public debt. The

11


fair market value for all other debt is estimated using a discounted cash flow technique that incorporates future contractual interest and principal payments and a market interest yield curve with adjustments for duration, optionality and risk profile, including the Company’s non-performance risk and loan to value. The Company’s senior notes and all other debt are classified as Level 2 and Level 3, respectively, in the fair value hierarchy.

Considerable judgment is necessary to develop estimated fair values of financial instruments. Accordingly, the estimates presented are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could realize on disposition of the financial instruments.

Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives

The Company is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. The Company principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of its core business activities. The Company manages economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity and credit risk, primarily by managing the amount, sources and duration of its debt funding and, from time to time, through the use of derivative financial instruments. Specifically, the Company enters into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the receipt or payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the values of which are determined by interest rates. The Company’s derivative financial instruments are used to manage differences in the amount, timing and duration of the Company’s known or expected cash receipts and its known or expected cash payments principally related to the Company’s borrowings.

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk

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

12


As of March 31, 2023, the Company had one effective swap with a notional amount of $200.0 million, expiring in June 2027, which converts the variable-rate SOFR component of the interest rate applicable to its term loan to a fixed rate of 2.75%.

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated, and that qualify, as cash flow hedges is recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income and is subsequently reclassified into earnings, into interest expense, in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. All components of the swap were included in the assessment of hedge effectiveness. The Company expects to reflect within the next 12 months, a decrease to interest expense (and a corresponding increase to earnings) of approximately $3.7 million.

The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of non-performance by the counterparty to the swap if the derivative position has a positive balance. The Company believes it mitigates its credit risk by entering into swaps with major financial institutions. The Company continually monitors and actively manages interest costs on its variable-rate debt portfolio and may enter into additional interest rate swap positions or other derivative interest rate instruments based on market conditions. The Company has not entered, and does not plan to enter, into any derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

Credit Risk-Related Contingent Features

The Company has an agreement with the swap counterparty that contains a provision whereby if the Company defaults on certain of its indebtedness, the Company could also be declared in default on the swap, resulting in an acceleration of payment under the swap.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) provides readers with a perspective from management on the financial condition, results of operations and liquidity of SITE Centers Corp. and its related consolidated real estate subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company” or “SITE Centers”) and other factors that may affect the Company’s future results. The Company believes it is important to read the MD&A in conjunction with its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021,2022, as well as other publicly available information.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The Company is a self-administered and self-managed Real Estate Investment Trust (“REIT”) in the business of owning, leasing, acquiring, owning,redeveloping, developing redeveloping, leasing and managing shopping centers. As of March 31, 2022,2023, the Company’s portfolio consisted of 138120 shopping centers (including 4615 shopping centers owned through unconsolidated joint ventures). At March 31, 2022,2023, the Company owned approximately 32.126.6 million square feet of gross leasable area (“GLA”) through all its properties (wholly-owned and joint venture) and managed approximately 0.6 million total square feet of GLA owned by Retail Value Inc. (“RVI”) (last asset sold in April 2022).  At March 31, 2022, the aggregate occupancy of the Company’s operating shopping center portfolio was 90.2%, and the average annualized base rent per occupied square foot was $18.55, both on a pro rata basis.

The following provides an overview of the Company’s key financial metrics (see Non-GAAP Financial Measures described later in this section) (in thousands, except per share amounts):

For the three months ended March 31, 2022,2023, the increase in net income attributable to common shareholders, as compared to the prior-year period, primarily was primarily attributable to operating results driven by revenuethe result of base rent growth at existing assets, the net impact of property acquisitions and lower impairment charges,general and administrative expenses partially offset by higher depreciation expense, lower fee income from RVIjoint ventures and lower gain on change in control of interests.

In March 2020, the World Health Organization categorized COVID-19 as a pandemic, and it continues to spread throughout the United States and other countries across the world.  Beginning in mid-March 2020, federal, state and local governments took various actions to limit the spread of COVID-19, including ordering the temporary closure of non-essential businesses (which included many of the Company’s tenants) and imposing significant social distancing guidelines and restrictions on the continued operations of essential businesses and the subsequent reopening of non-essential businesses.  higher interest expense.The Company continues to closely monitor local levels of infection associated with the COVID-19 pandemic and has taken additional steps as needed in order to protect the health and safety of its workforce, including a relaxation of office attendance requirements.  To date, the Company’s leasing and administrative operations have not been materially adversely impacted by the pandemic, as the Company’s significant investments in its information technology infrastructure and systems in prior years facilitated the transition to remote and hybrid working environments.

The Company’s collection rates continued to improve throughout 2021 reaching at or near pre-pandemic levels by year-end 2021.  A substantial majority of tenants, including tenants previously on the cash basis of accounting, are paying their monthly rent and have repaid deferred rents relating to prior periods.  Included in the results for the three-months ended March 31, 2022 were $1.3 million of prior-period net revenue at SITE Centers’ share, primarily from cash basis tenants.

Company Activity

The growth opportunities within the Company’s core property operations include rental rate increases, continued lease-up of the portfolio, and the adaptation of existing site plans and square footage to generate higher blended rental rates and operating cash flows. Additional growth opportunities include external acquisition investmentsacquisitions and tactical redevelopment. Management intends to use retained cash flow, proceeds from the sale of lower growth assets and proceeds from equity offerings and debt financings to fund capital expenditures relating to new leasing activity, acquisitions, including opportunistic investments, and tactical redevelopment activity. In recent years, the Company’s acquisition activities have largely focused on unanchored, convenience retail properties that offer enhanced prospects for cash flow growth through rent increases and lower capital expenditure requirements.

Company Operational Highlights

DuringFirst quarter 2023 operational highlights include the following:

Leased approximately 0.5 million square feet of GLA, including 32 new leases and 62 renewals for a total of 94 leases. As of March 31, 2023, the remaining 2023 lease expirations aggregated approximately 0.6 million square feet of GLA

15


(representing approximately 45% of total annualized base rent of 2023 expiring as of December 31, 2022), as compared to 1.2 million square feet of GLA as of December 31, 2022;
For the comparable leases executed in the three months ended March 31, 2022,2023, the Company completedgenerated cash lease spreads on a pro rata basis of 20.3% for new leases and 8.7% for renewals. Leasing spreads are a key metric in real estate, representing the following operational activities:

percentage increase of rental rates on new and renewal leases over rental rates on existing leases, though leasing spreads exclude consideration of the amount of capital expended in connection with new leasing activity. The Company’s cash lease spreads calculation includes only those deals that were executed within one year of the date the prior tenant vacated, in addition to other factors that limit comparability, and as a result, is a useful benchmark to compare the average annualized base rent of expiring leases with the comparable executed market rental rates;

Total portfolio average annualized base rent per square foot increased to $19.65 at March 31, 2023 as compared to $19.52 at December 31, 2022 and $18.55 at March 31, 2022, all on a pro rata basis;
The aggregate occupancy of the Company’s operating shopping center portfolio was 92.8% at March 31, 2023 as compared to 92.4% at December 31, 2022 and 90.2% at March 31, 2022, all on a pro rata basis and
For new leases executed in the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company expended a weighted-average cost of tenant improvements and lease commissions estimated at $5.67 per rentable square foot, on a pro rata basis, over the lease term, as compared to $7.42 per rentable square foot in 2022. The Company generally does not expend a significant amount of capital on lease renewals.

Leased approximately 1.1 million square feet of GLA, including 71 new leases and 109 renewals for a total of 180 leases.  As of March 31, 2022, the remaining 2022 lease expirations aggregated approximately 0.9 million square feet of GLA (representing approximately 53% of total annualized base rent of 2022 expiring leases as of December 31, 2021), as compared to 1.7 million square feet of GLA as of December 31, 2021;  

At December 31, 2021, the Company had 339 leases expiring in 2022, with an average base rent per square foot of $20.31, on a pro rata basis.  For the comparable leases executed in the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company generated positive leasing spreads on a pro rata basis of 15.4% for new leases and 5.6% for renewals.  Leasing spreads are a key metric in real estate, representing the percentage increase of rental rates on new and renewal leases over rental rates on existing leases, though leasing spreads exclude consideration of the amount of capital expended in connection with new leasing activity.  The Company’s leasing spread calculation includes only those deals that were executed within one year of the date the prior tenant vacated, and as a result, is a good benchmark to compare the average annualized base rent of expiring leases with the comparable executed market rental rates;

The Company’s total portfolio average annualized base rent per square foot increased to $18.55 at March 31, 2022, on a pro rata basis, as compared to $18.33 at December 31, 2021 and $18.39 at March 31, 2021, primarily due to the impact of acquisitions;

The aggregate occupancy of the Company’s operating shopping center portfolio was 90.2% at March 31, 2022, on a pro rata basis, as compared to 90.0% at December 31, 2021 and 88.6% at March 31, 2021 and  

For new leases executed during the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company expended a weighted-average cost of tenant improvements and lease commissions estimated at $7.47 per rentable square foot, on a pro rata basis, over the lease term, as compared to $7.65 per rentable square foot in 2021.  The Company generally does not expend a significant amount of capital on lease renewals.

Recoveries from tenants were approximately 78.0% and 76.7% of reimbursable operating expenses and real estate taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.  The increase in the recovery percentage is a result of an increase in overall occupancy.

(3)

Primarily relates to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on rent collections, including the impact of lease modification accounting and tenants on the cash basis of accounting due to collectability concerns.  The net amount reported as income was primarily attributable to rental income paid in each respective year from tenants on the cash basis of accounting, which related to amounts (including deferred rents) originally owed in 2020 and 2021.

(B)

The components of Fee and Other Income are presented in Note 2, “Revenue Recognition,” to the Company’s consolidated financial statements included herein.  The decrease primarily relates to lower fee revenue from RVI as a result of assets sales completed by RVI in 2021.  In 2022, the Company expects to record less fee income due to the continued decrease in assets under management as compared to prior years related to both RVI and joint ventures.  As of April 22, 2022, RVI does not own any remaining real estate investments.  The management agreement with RVI in effect as of January 1, 2022, includes a reduced asset management fee to effectuate a wind-up of its operations.  In addition, in April 2022, the Company sold its 20% interest in the SAU Joint Venture.  Fee income from this joint venture totaled $1.0 million in 2021.  The Company expects that the DDRM Properties Joint Venture may sell additional assets in 2022.  

Changesventures. The decrease primarily relates to lower fee revenue from joint ventures as a result of asset sales. Decreases in the number of assets under management or the fee structures applicable to such arrangements, will adversely impact the amount of revenue recorded in future periods. The Company’s other joint venture partners may also elect to terminate their joint venture arrangements with the Company in connection with a change in investment strategy or otherwise.

(A)
The 2023 results include gains recorded on the sale of assets offset by the reduction of income as a result of asset sales occurring in 2023 and 2022. At March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company had an economic investment in unconsolidated joint ventures which owned 15 and 46 shopping center properties, respectively. Joint venture property sales could significantly impact the amount of income or loss recognized in future periods. See Note 2, “Investments in and Advances to Joint Ventures,” in the Company’s consolidated financial statements included herein.
(B)
In 2023, the Company recorded a gain related to additional proceeds received related to an unconsolidated joint venture that sold a parcel of undeveloped land in Richmond Hill, Ontario which was considered contingent at the time of the sale. In 2022, the Company recorded a gain from the acquisition of its joint venture partner's 80% equity interest in one asset owned by the DDRM Joint Venture.

(A)

The decrease primarily was the result of gain on sale of undeveloped land recognized in 2021.  Joint venture property sales could significantly impact the amount of income or loss recognized in future periods.  See Note 3, “Investments in and Advances to Joint Ventures,” in the Company’s consolidated financial statements included herein.  

(B)

In 2022, the Company recorded a $3.3 million gain from the acquisition of a 20% equity interest in an asset from the Company’s partner in the DDRM Properties Joint Venture.  In 2021, relates to the sale of the Company’s interest in the undeveloped land in Richmond Hill, Ontario.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

Funds from Operations and Operating Funds from Operations

Definition and Basis of Presentation

The Company believes that Funds from Operations (“FFO”) and Operating FFO, both non-GAAP financial measures, provide additional and useful means to assess the financial performance of REITs. FFO and Operating FFO are frequently used by the real estate industry, as well as securities analysts, investors and other interested parties, to evaluate the performance of REITs. The Company also believes that FFO and Operating FFO more appropriately measure the core operations of the Company and provide benchmarks to its peer group.

18


FFO excludes GAAP historical cost depreciation and amortization of real estate and real estate investments, which assume that the value of real estate assets diminishes ratably over time. Historically, however, real estate values have risen or fallen with market conditions, and many companies use different depreciable lives and methods. Because FFO excludes depreciation and amortization

18


unique to real estate and gains and losses from property dispositions, it can provide a performance measure that, when compared year over year, reflects the impact on operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, interest costs and acquisition, disposition and development activities. This provides a perspective of the Company’s financial performance not immediately apparent from net income determined in accordance with GAAP.

FFO is generally defined and calculated by the Company as net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP), adjusted to exclude (i) preferred share dividends, (ii) gains and losses from disposition of real estate property and related investments, which are presented net of taxes, (iii) impairment charges on real estate property and related investments, (iv) gains and losses from changes in control and (v) certain non-cash items. These non-cash items principally include real property depreciation and amortization of intangibles, equity income (loss) from joint ventures and equity income (loss) from non-controlling interests and adding the Company’s proportionate share of FFO from its unconsolidated joint ventures and non-controlling interests, determined on a consistent basis. The Company’s calculation of FFO is consistent with the definition of FFO provided by NAREIT.the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT").

The Company believes that certain charges, income and gains recorded in its operating results are not comparable or reflective of its core operating performance. Operating FFO is useful to investors as the Company removes non-comparable charges, income and gains to analyze the results of its operations and assess performance of the core operating real estate portfolio. As a result, the Company also computes Operating FFO and discusses it with the users of its financial statements, in addition to other measures such as net income (loss) determined in accordance with GAAP and FFO. Operating FFO is generally defined and calculated by the Company as FFO excluding certain charges, income and gains that management believes are not comparable and indicative of the results of the Company’s operating real estate portfolio. Such adjustments include write-off of preferred share original issuance costs, gains/losses on the early extinguishment of debt, certain transaction fee income, transaction costs and other restructuring type costs. The disclosure of these adjustments is regularly requested by users of the Company’s financial statements.

The adjustment for these charges, income and gains may not be comparable to how other REITs or real estate companies calculate their results of operations, and the Company’s calculation of Operating FFO differs from NAREIT’s definition of FFO. Additionally, the Company provides no assurances that these charges, income and gains are non-recurring. These charges, income and gains could be reasonably expected to recur in future results of operations.

These measures of performance are used by the Company for several business purposes and by other REITs. The Company uses FFO and/or Operating FFO in part (i) as a disclosure to improve the understanding of the Company’s operating results among the investing public, (ii) as a measure of a real estate asset company’s performance, (iii) to influence acquisition, disposition and capital investment strategies and (iv) to compare the Company’s performance to that of other publicly traded shopping center REITs.

For the reasons described above, management believes that FFO and Operating FFO provide the Company and investors with an important indicator of the Company’s operating performance. They provide recognized measures of performance other than GAAP net income, which may include non-cash items (often significant). Other real estate companies may calculate FFO and Operating FFO in a different manner.

Management recognizes the limitations of FFO and Operating FFO when compared to GAAP’s net income. FFO and Operating FFO do not represent amounts available for dividends, capital replacement or expansion, debt service obligations or other commitments and uncertainties. Management does not use FFO or Operating FFO as an indicator of the Company’s cash obligations and funding requirements for future commitments, acquisitions or development activities. Neither FFO nor Operating FFO represents cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP, and neither is necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs. Neither FFO nor Operating FFO should be considered an alternative to net income (computed in accordance with GAAP) or as an alternative to cash flow as a measure of liquidity. FFO and Operating FFO are simply used as additional indicators of the Company’s operating performance. The Company believes that to further understand its performance, FFO and Operating FFO should be compared with the Company’s reported net income (loss) and considered in addition to cash flows determined in accordance with GAAP, as presented in its consolidated financial statements. Reconciliations of these measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measure of net income (loss) have been provided below.

Net Operating Income and Same Store Net Operating Income

Definition and Basis of Presentation

The Company uses Net Operating Income (“NOI”), which is a non-GAAP financial measure, as a supplemental performance measure. NOI is calculated as property revenues less property-related expenses. The Company believes NOI provides useful information to investors regarding the Company’s financial condition and results of operations because it reflects only those income

20


and expense items that are incurred at the property level and, when compared across periods, reflects the impact on operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs and acquisition and disposition activity on an unleveraged basis.

The Company also presents NOI information on a same store basis, or Same Store Net Operating Income (“SSNOI”). The Company defines SSNOI as property revenues less property-related expenses, which exclude straight-line rental income (including reimbursements) and expenses, lease termination income, management fee expense, fair market value of leases and expense recovery adjustments. SSNOI includes assets owned in comparable periods (15 months for quarter comparisons). In addition, SSNOI excludes all non-property and corporate level revenue and expenses. Other real estate companies may calculate NOI and SSNOI in a different

20


manner. The Company believes SSNOI at its effective ownership interest provides investors with additional information regarding the operating performances of comparable assets because it excludes certain non-cash and non-comparable items as noted above. SSNOI is frequently used by the real estate industry, as well as securities analysts, investors and other interested parties, to evaluate the performance of REITs.

SSNOI is not, and is not intended to be, a presentation in accordance with GAAP. SSNOI information has its limitations as it excludes any capital expenditures associated with the re-leasing of tenant space or as needed to operate the assets. SSNOI does not represent amounts available for dividends, capital replacement or expansion, debt service obligations or other commitments and uncertainties. Management does not use SSNOI as an indicator of the Company’s cash obligations and funding requirements for future commitments, acquisitions or development activities. SSNOI does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs. SSNOI should not be considered as an alternative to net income (computed in accordance with GAAP) or as an alternative to cash flow as a measure of liquidity. A reconciliation of NOI and SSNOI to their most directly comparable GAAP measure of net income (loss) is provided below.

The Company periodically evaluates opportunities to issue and sell additional debt or equity securities, obtain credit facilities from lenders or repurchase or refinance long-term debt as part of its overall strategy to further strengthen its financial position. The

Company remains committed to monitoring liquidity and the duration of its indebtedness and to maintaining lowprudent leverage levels in an effort to manage its overall risk profile.

The Company’s consolidated and unconsolidated debt obligations generally require monthly or semi-annual payments of principal and/or interest over the term of the obligation. While the Company currently believes it has several viable sources to obtain capital and fund its business, including capacity under its credit facilities described below,Revolving Credit Facility, no assurance can be provided that these obligations will be refinanced or repaid as currently anticipated. Any new debt financings may also entail higher rates of interest than the indebtedness being refinanced, which could have an adverse effect on the Company’s operations.

The Company has historically accessed capital sources through both the public and private markets. Acquisitions and redevelopments are generally financed through cash provided from operating activities, the Revolving Credit Facilities (as defined below),Facility, mortgages assumed, secured debt, unsecured debt, common and preferred equity offerings, joint venture capital and asset sales. Total consolidated debt outstanding was $1.8 billion at March 31, 2022,2023, compared to $1.7 billion at December 31, 2021.  2022.

TheAt March 31, 2023, the Company had an unrestricted cash balance of $17.2$25.0 million at March 31, 2022 and a $115.0 million outstanding balance onavailability under its Revolving Credit Facilities, and accordingly, availability under the Revolving Credit FacilitiesFacility of $855.0$875.0 million (subject to satisfaction of applicable borrowing conditions). The Company has no remaining consolidated debt maturing in 2022. The Company has $87.2 million aggregate principal amount of senior notes $100.0maturing in May 2023. In 2024, the Company has $65.6 million aggregate principal amount of an unsecured term loansenior notes and $35.6$27.8 million aggregate principal amount of consolidated mortgage debt maturing in 2023. At March 31, 2022, excluding the indebtedness relating to the Company’s interest in the SAU Joint Venture that was sold in April 2022, the Company’smaturing. The Company's unconsolidated joint ventures had $71.0have $17.0 million ofand $88.9 million in mortgage debt outstanding at the Company’sCompany's share maturing in July 20222023 and no mortgage debt maturing in 2023.  The Company’s consolidated debt outstanding at March 31, 2022 included $100.0 million of variable rate debt (maturing in January 2023) having an interest rate determined by reference to LIBOR; additionally, the Company currently has the ability to elect that borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facilities bear interest based on either LIBOR or the Alternative Base Rate, though the LIBOR-based option is expected to be replaced in the future by an alternative benchmark rate of interest to be agreed upon by the Company and the applicable lenders as a result of the cessation of LIBOR’s publication expected to occur in June 2023.2024, respectively. As of March 31, 2022,2023, the Company anticipates that it has approximately $32$20 million to be incurred on its pipeline of identified redevelopment projects. The Company declared a common share dividend of $0.13 per share in the three months ended March 31, 2022.2023. The Company believes it has sufficient liquidity to operate its business at this time.

In March 2023, the Company entered into a 5.0% interest rate cap with respect to the variable rate (the Secured Overnight Financing Rate or "SOFR") component applicable to borrowings up to $100 million under the Company's Revolving Credit FacilitiesFacility, which interest rate cap is in effect for one year beginning April 2023. At March 31, 2023, the Company had $75.0 million drawn on the Revolving Credit Facility.

Revolving Credit Facility

The Company maintains an unsecured revolving credit facilityRevolving Credit Facility with a syndicate of financial institutions arranged by Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, J.P. Morganand JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Citizens Bank, N.A., RBC Capital Markets and U.S. Bank National Association (the “Unsecured Credit Facility.”)  The Unsecured Credit Facilityas administrative agent that provides for borrowings of up to $950 million, (whichwhich limit may be increased to $1.45 billion provided that theexisting or new lenders agree to existing terms of the facility or existing lenders increase theirprovide incremental commitments)commitments and a maturity date of January 2024, withsubject to other conditions precedent. The Revolving Credit Facility matures in June 2026 subject to two six-month options to extend the maturity to January 2025 uponJune 2027 at the Company’s requestCompany's option (subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions).  The Company also maintains an unsecured revolving credit facility with PNC Bank, National Association, which provides for borrowings of up to $20 million (the “PNC Facility,” and together with the Unsecured Credit Facility, the “Revolving Credit Facilities”), and has terms substantially the same as those contained in the Unsecured Credit Facility. The Company’s borrowings under the Revolving Credit FacilitiesFacility bear interest at variable rates at the Company’s election, based on either LIBOR(i) the SOFR rate plus a specified10-basis point credit spread (0.90%adjustment plus an applicable margin (0.85% at March 31, 2022),2023) or (ii) the Alternate Base Rate, as defined in the respective facility,alternative base rate plus a specified spreadan applicable margin (0% at March 31, 2022)2023). The credit agreements governing the Revolving Credit Facilities provide that the Company’s ability to request LIBOR-based loans may be suspended in the future in connection with the cessation of LIBOR’s publication, in which case the Company and the applicable lenders will agree on an alternative rate of interest to LIBOR which gives due consideration to prevailing markets conventionsFacility also provides for similar credit facilities.  Should market conventions for similar credit facilities fail to standardize, legal risks could arise.  See Item 1A., “Risk Factors—The Company May Be Adversely Affected by the Potential Discontinuation of LIBOR” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.  The Company also pays an annual facility fee, ofwhich was 20 basis points on the aggregate commitmentsentire facility at March 31, 2023. The applicable to each Revolving Credit Facility.  The specified spreadsmargins and commitment feesfacility fee vary depending on the Company’s long-term senior unsecured debt ratings from Moody’s, Investors Service, Inc.

respective successors). The Revolving Credit FacilitiesFacility also features a sustainability-linked pricing component whereby the applicable interest-rate margin can be adjusted by one or two basis points if the Company meets certain sustainability performance targets.

The Revolving Credit Facility, the Company's $200.0 million term loan facility and the indentures under which the Company’s senior and subordinated unsecured indebtedness are, or may be, issued contain certain financial and operating covenants including, among other things, leverage ratios and debt service coverage and fixed chargefixed-charge coverage ratios, as well as limitations on the Company’s ability to incur secured and unsecured indebtedness, sell all or substantially all of the Company’s assets and engage in certain mergers and certain acquisitions. These credit facilitiesThe Revolving Credit Facility, the term loan and the indentures also contain customary default provisions including the failure to make timely payments of principal and interest payable thereunder, the failure to comply with the Company’s financial and operating covenants and the failure of the Company or its majority-owned subsidiaries (i.e., entities in which the Company has a greater than 50% interest) to pay, when due, certain indebtedness in excess of certain thresholds beyond applicable grace and cure periods. In the event the Company’s lenders or

note holders declare a default, as defined in the applicable agreements governing the debt, the Company may be unable to obtain further funding, and/or an acceleration of any outstanding borrowings may occur. As of March 31, 2022,2023, the Company was in compliance with all of its financial covenants in the agreements governing its debt. Although the Company believes it will continue to operate in compliance with these covenants, if the Company were to violate these covenants, the Company may be subject to higher finance costs and fees or accelerated maturities.

Consolidated Indebtedness – as of March 31, 20222023

As discussed above, the Company is committed to maintaining prudent leverage levels and may utilize proceeds from equity offerings or the sale of properties or other investments or equity offerings to repay additional debt. These sources of funds could be affected by various risks and uncertainties. No assurance can be provided that the Company’s debt obligations will be refinanced or repaid as currently anticipated. See Item 1A. Risk Factors in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.2022.

The Company continually evaluates its debt maturities and, based on management’s assessment, believes it has viable financing and refinancing alternatives. The Company has sought to manage its debt maturities through executing a strategy to extend debt duration, increase liquidity, maintain prudent leverage levels and improve the Company’s credit profile with a focus of lowering the Company's balance sheet risk and cost of capital.

Unconsolidated Joint Ventures’ Mortgage Indebtedness – as of March 31, 20222023

The Company’s unconsolidated joint ventures had aggregate outstanding indebtedness to third parties of $0.9 billion and $1.0 billion at March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.  Such mortgages are generally non-recourse to the Company and its partners; however, certain mortgages may have recourse to the Company and its partners in certain limited situations, such as misappropriation of funds, impermissible transfer, environmental contamination and material misrepresentation.  Excluding the Company’s SAU Joint Venture’s mortgage debt (the Company sold its interest in April 2022), the outstanding indebtedness of the Company’s unconsolidated joint ventures at March 31, 2022 (all attributable to the DDRM Properties Joint Venture)2023, which matures in the subsequent 13-month period (i.e., through April 2023)30, 2024), is $355.1 million ($71.0 million at the Company’s share), which the Company expects theas follows (in millions):

Similar to SITE Centers, the Company’s joint ventures experienced a reduction in rent collections, beginning in the second quarter of 2020, as a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.  Though rent collection at the Company’s joint ventures had reached at or near pre-pandemic levels by year-end 2021, anyAny future deterioration in rent collection,property-level revenues may cause one or more of these joint ventures to be unable to refinance maturing obligations or satisfy applicable covenants, financial tests or debt service requirements or loan maturity extension conditions in the future, thereby allowing the mortgage lender to assume control of property cash flows, limit distributions of cash to joint venture members, declare a default, increase the interest rate or accelerate the loan’s maturity. In addition, rising interest rates may adversely impact the ability of the Company's joint ventures to sell assets at attractive prices in order to repay indebtedness.

CAPITALIZATION

At March 31, 2022,2023, the Company’s capitalization consisted of $1.8 billion of debt, $175.0 million of preferred shares and $3.6$2.6 billion of market equity (market equity is defined(calculated as the sum of common shares and OP Units outstanding multiplied by $16.71,$12.28, the closing price of the Company’s common shares on the New York Stock Exchange on March 31, 2022), resulting in a debt to total market capitalization ratio of 0.33 to 1.0, as compared to the ratio of 0.36 to 1.0 at March 31, 2021.  The closing price of the Company’s common shares on the New York Stock Exchange was $13.56 at March 31, 2021.2023). At March 31, 2022 and 2021,2023, after giving effect to the swap of the variable-rate component of the term loan's interest rate to a fixed rate, the Company’s total debt consisted of $1.6$1.7 billion of fixed-rate debt and $0.2 billion$75.0 million of variable-rate debt for both periods.  variable rate debt.

Management’s strategy is to maintain access to the capital resources necessary to manage the Company’s balance sheet and to repay upcoming maturities. Accordingly, the Company may seek to obtain funds through additional debt or equity financings and/or joint venture capital in a manner consistent with its intention to operate with a conservativeprudent debt capitalization policy and to reduce the Company’s cost of capital by maintaining an investment grade rating with Moody’s, S&P and Fitch. A security rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities, as it may be subject to revision or withdrawal at any time by the rating organization. Each rating should be evaluated independently of any other rating. The Company may not be able to obtain financing on favorable terms, or at all, which may negatively affect future ratings.

The Company’s credit facilitiesRevolving Credit Facility, term loan and the indentures under which the Company’s senior and subordinated unsecured indebtedness are,is, or may be, issued contain certain financial and operating covenants, including, among other things, debt service coverage and fixed charge coverage ratios, as well as limitations on the Company’s ability to incur secured and unsecured indebtedness, sell all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, engage in certain mergers and certain acquisitions and make distribution to its shareholders.

25


Although the Company intends to operate in compliance with these covenants, if the Company were to violate these covenants, the Company may be subject to higher finance costs and fees or accelerated maturities. In addition, certain ofthe Revolving Credit Facility, term loan and the Company’s credit facilities and indentures permit the acceleration of maturity in the event certain other debt of the Company is in default or has been accelerated. Foreclosure on mortgaged properties or an inability to refinance existing indebtedness would have a negative impact on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS AND OTHER COMMITMENTS

The Company has no remaining consolidated debt maturing in 2022. TheAs of March 31, 2023, the Company has $87.2 million aggregate principal amount of senior notes $100.0maturing in May 2023. In 2024, the Company has $65.6 million aggregate principal amount of an unsecured term loansenior notes and $35.6$27.8 million aggregate principal amount of consolidated mortgage debt maturing in 2023.maturing. The Company expects to fund future maturities from utilization of its Revolving Credit Facilities,Facility, proceeds from asset sales and other investments, cash flow from operations and/or additional debt or equity financings. No assurance can be provided that these obligations will be repaid as currently anticipated or refinanced.

Other Guaranties

In conjunction with the redevelopment of shopping centers, the Company had entered into commitments with general contractors aggregating approximately $31.8$23.5 million for its consolidated properties at March 31, 2022.2023, which includes the assets in the redevelopment pipeline. These obligations, composed principally of construction contracts, are generally due within 12 to 24 months, as the related construction costs are incurred, and are expected to be financed through operating cash flow, asset sales or borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facilities.Facility. These contracts typically can be changed or terminated without penalty.

The Company routinely enters into contracts for the maintenance of its properties. These contracts typically can be canceled upon 30 to 60 days’ notice without penalty. At March 31, 2022,2023, the Company had purchase order obligations, typically payable within one year, aggregating approximately $12.1$7.4 million related to the maintenance of its properties and general and administrative expenses.

ECONOMIC CONDITIONS

Despite the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and increasing e-commerce distribution,growing economic uncertainty, the Company continues to believe there isexperience retailer demand for quality real estate locations within well-positioned shopping centers and continues to see demand from a broad range of tenants for its space.  The Company has experienced strong momentum in new lease discussions and renewal negotiations with tenants.centers. The Company executed new leases and renewals aggregating approximately 0.90.5 million square feet of space on a pro rata basis for the three months ended March 31, 2022, on a pro rata basis, which is higher than the Company’s typical pre-pandemic quarterly leasing volumes despite a decrease in owned GLA.  Although there may be some additional disruption among existing tenants due to the continuing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and related supply chain and labor shortages, the2023. The Company believes that recentthese strong leasing volumesresults and tenant demand are attributable to the locationconcentration of the Company’s portfolio in suburban, high household income communities, (which have been impacted less by the pandemic on a relative basis)pandemic-induced work-from-home trends, limited new construction and to its national tenants’ strong financial positions and increasing emphasis and reliance onuse of physical store locations to improve the spreadspeed and efficiency of fulfillment of online purchases.merchandise distribution.

The Company benefits from a diversified tenant base, with only one tenant whose annualized rental revenue equals or exceeds 3% of the Company’s annualized consolidated revenues plus the Company’s proportionate share of unconsolidated joint venture revenues (TJX Companies at 5.7%5.9%). Other significant national tenants include Dick’s Sporting Goods, Ross Stores, Burlington and Five Below, all of whichgenerally have relatively strong financial positions, have outperformed other retail categories over time and the Company believes remain well-capitalized. Historically these national tenants have provided a stable revenue base, and the Company believes that they will continue to provide a stable revenue base going forward, given the long-term nature of these leases. The majority of the tenants in the Company’s shopping centers provide day-to-day consumer necessities with a focus on value and convenience, versus discretionary items, which the Company believes will enable many of its tenants to outperform under a variety of economic conditions. The Company recognizes the risks posed by current economic conditions but believes that the position of its portfolio and the general diversity and credit quality of its tenant base should enable it to successfully navigate through a potentially challenging economic environment. The Company has relatively little reliance on overage or percentage rents generated by tenant sales performance.

The Company believes that its shopping center portfolio is well positioned, as evidenced by its recent leasing activity, historical property income growth and consistent growth in average annualized base rent per occupied square foot. Historical occupancy has generally ranged from 89% to 96% since94% over the Company’s initial public offering in 1993.last 10 years. At March 31, 20222023 and December 31, 2021,2022, the shopping center portfolio occupancy, on a pro rata basis, was 90.2%92.8% and 90.0%92.4%, respectively, and the total portfolio average annualized base rent per occupied square foot, on a pro rata basis, was $18.55$19.65 and $18.33,$19.52, respectively. The Company’s portfolio has beenwas impacted by tenant bankruptcies and lease expirationsclosures in 2020, (which increased in number and pace followingprimarily due to the onsetimpact of the COVID-19 pandemic)pandemic, and the Company expects to expend significant amounts of capital in coming periods in connection with recently executed leases and in order to re-lease remaining vacancies.backfill these closures. Although the per square foot cost of leasing capital expenditures has been predominantly consistent with the Company’s historical trends, the high volume of the Company’s recent

26


anchor leasing activity will cause aggregate leasing capital expenditure levels to remainbe elevated. The weighted-average cost of tenant improvements and lease commissions estimated to be incurred over the expected lease term for new leases executed during the three months ended March 31, 20222023 and 2021,2022, on a pro rata basis, was $7.47$5.67 and $7.65$7.47 per rentable square foot, respectively. The Company generally does not expend a significant amount of capital on lease renewals.

Beginning in March 2020,Although disruptions to the Company's business stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic have subsided, inflation, higher interest rates, reduced consumer spending, labor shortages, supply chain disruptions and the volatility of global capital markets pose increasing risks to the U.S. economy and the Company's tenants. In addition to these macroeconomic challenges, the retail sector was significantly impactedhas been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Though the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on tenant operations varied by tenant category, local conditions and applicable government mandates, a significant number of the Company’s tenants experienced a reduction in sales and foot traffic, and many tenants were forced to limit their operations or close their businesses for a period of time. During early 2021, the Company worked with tenants to maximize the collection of unpaid 2020 rents by offering rent deferment on a case-by-case basis often in exchange for concessions in the form of tenant extensions of lease terms, the relaxation of leasing restrictions and co-tenancy provisions and, in some cases, alterations of control areas allowing for future redevelopment of the shopping center.  The Company’s collection rates showed significant improvements in 2021 and a substantial majority of the Company’s tenants, including cash basis tenants, are paying their monthly rent and repaying deferred rents relating to prior periods.  As of March 31, 2022, the majority of rent deferral arrangements for tenants that are not accounted for on the cash basis have been repaid.

The Company is unable to forecast the duration of the disruption to tenant and Company operations caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. If new surges in contagion were to occur, or if new COVID-19 variants were to emerge which are more resistant to vaccines, or if there are decreases in the effectiveness of such vaccines, the Company’s recent success in the leasing space and the collection of deferred rents and unresolved amounts could be adversely impacted and such developments could lead to new restrictions on tenant operations, nonpayment of contractual and previously deferred rents, additional tenant requests for rent relief and additional tenant closures and bankruptcies, all of which could adversely impact the Company’s results of operations in the future.  Certain tenant categories remain especially vulnerable to the impact ofchanging consumer behaviors following the COVID-19 pandemic, including movie theaters, fitness centersthe competitive nature of the retail business and local restaurants.  Forthe competition for the share of the consumer wallet. The Company routinely monitors the credit profiles of its tenants and analyzes the possible impact of any potential tenant credit issues on the financial statements of the Company and its unconsolidated joint ventures. In some cases, changing conditions have resulted in weaker retailers and retail categories losing market share and declaring bankruptcy and/or closing stores. However, other retailers, specifically those in the value and convenience category, continue to express interest in launching new concepts and expanding their store fleets within the suburban, high household income communities in which the Company's properties are located. As a result, the Company believes that its prospects to backfill any spaces vacated by bankrupt or non-renewing tenants are generally good, though such re-tenanting efforts would likely require additional risks relatingcapital expenditures and the opportunities to lease any vacant theater spaces may be more limited. However, there can be no assurance that vacancy resulting from increasingly uncertain economic conditions will not adversely affect the COVID-19 pandemic, seeCompany's operating results (see Item 1A. Risk Factors in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.  2022).

Although disruptions in rent collections stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic have generally subsided, inflation, labor shortages, supply chain disruptions and global unrest continue to pose risks to the U.S. economy, the Company’s tenants and business.  Inflationary pressures and26


Inflation, rising interest rates and regional bank concerns have also impacted, in certain cases, real estate owners' ability to acquire and sell assets and raise equity and debt financing. Although the Company has relatively small amounts of consolidated indebtedness maturing in 2023 and 2024, debt capital markets could result in reductions in consumer spending and retailer profitability which couldadversely impact the Company’s ability to grow rentsrefinance maturities and tenant demand for new and existing store locations.  Regardlessthe interest rates applicable thereto. To the extent that the interest rate environment does not moderate prior to the time of accelerating inflation levels, base rent under most ofthese refinancings, the Company’s long-term anchor leases will remain constant (subject to tenants’ exercise of renewal options at pre-negotiated rent increases) until the expiration of their lease terms. While many of these leases require tenants to pay their share of shopping center operating expenses (including common area maintenance, real estate tax and insurance expenses), the Company’s ability to collect the passed-throughinterest expense increases to tenants is dependent on their ability to absorb and pay these increases.  Inflation may also impact other aspects of the Company’s operating costs, including employee retention costs, the cost to complete redevelopments and build-outs of recently leased vacancies and interest rate costs relating to variable rate loans and refinancings of lower fixed-rate indebtedness. While the Company has not been significantly impacted by any of these items to date, no assurances canlevels would be provided that these inflationary pressures will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business in the future.adversely affected.

The Company intends to use retained cash flow, proceeds from asset sales, equity and debt financing and variable-rate indebtedness available under its Revolving Credit FacilitiesFacility to repay indebtedness and fund capital expenditures at the Company’s shopping centers. Thus, to the extent the Company incurs additional variable-rate indebtedness or needs to refinance existing fixed-rate indebtedness in a rising interest rate environment, its exposure to increases in interest rates in an inflationary period could increase.

The interest rate risk on a portion of the Company’s variable-rate debt has been mitigated through the use of an interest rate swap agreement with major financial institutions. At March 31, 2023, the variable (SOFR) component of the interest rate applicable to the Company's $200.0 million consolidated term loan facility was swapped to a fixed rate. The Company does not believe, however, that increasesis exposed to credit risk in interest expense will significantly impact the Company’s distributable cash flow givenevent of nonperformance by the Company’s outstanding debt maturity profile.  counterparties to the swaps. The Company believes it mitigates its credit risk by entering into swaps with major financial institutions.

The carrying value and the fair value of the Company’s fixed-rate debt areis adjusted to include the Company’s proportionate share$200.0 million of the joint venture fixed-rate debt.variable-rate debt that was swapped to a fixed rate at March 31, 2023. An estimate of the effect of a 100 basis-point increase at March 31, 20222023 and December 31, 2021,2022, is summarized as follows (in millions):

Includes the fair value of the swap, which was an asset of $5.1 million and $8.2 million at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

Includes the fair value of the swap, which was an asset of $12.2 million and $15.6 million at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

The sensitivity to changes in interest rates of the Company’s fixed-rate debt was determined using a valuation model based upon factors that measure the net present value of such obligations that arise from the hypothetical estimate as discussed above. A 100 basis-point increase in short-term market interest rates on variable-rate debt at March 31, 2022,2023, would result in an increase in interest expense of approximately $0.5$0.2 million for the Company and $0.1 million representing the Company’s proportionate share of the joint ventures’ interest expense relating to variable-ratethe Company's variable rate debt outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2022.2023. This exposure to interest rate risk was mitigated by the implementation of a 5.0% interest rate cap with respect to the variable (SOFR) component applicable to borrowings up to $100 million under the Company's Revolving Credit Facility effective in April 2023. The estimated increase in interest expense for the year does not give effect to possible changes in the daily balance of the Company’s or joint ventures’ outstanding variable-rate debt. A 100 basis-point increase in short-term market interest rates on variable-rate debt at March 31, 2023, would not result in any change in interest expense for the Company or its joint ventures. All of the variable-rate debt outstanding at the unconsolidated joint ventures is subject to hedging agreements.

The Company and its joint ventures intend to continually monitor and actively manage interest costs on their variable-rate debt portfolio and may enter into swap positions based on market fluctuations. In addition, the Company believes it has the ability to obtain funds through additional equity and/or debt offerings and joint venture capital. Accordingly, the cost of obtaining such protection agreements versus the Company’s access to capital markets will continue to be evaluated. The Company has not entered, and does not plan to enter, into any derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. As of March 31, 2022,2023, the Company had no other material exposure to market risk.
