EXPLANATORY NOTE
This report combines the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the period ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172021 of Urban Edge Properties and Urban Edge Properties LP. Unless stated otherwise or the context otherwise requires, references to “UE” and “Urban Edge” mean Urban Edge Properties, a Maryland real estate investment trust (“REIT”), and references to “UELP” and the “Operating Partnership” mean Urban Edge Properties LP, a Delaware limited partnership. References to the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” mean collectively UE, UELP and those entities/subsidiaries consolidated by UE.
UELP is the entity through which we conduct substantially all of our business and own, either directly or through subsidiaries, substantially all of our assets. UE is the sole general partner and also a limited partner of UELP. As the sole general partner of UELP, UE has exclusive control of UELP’s day-to-day management.
As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2021, UE owned an approximate 89.9%95.6% ownership interest in UELP. The remaining approximate 10.1%4.4% interest is owned by limited partners. The other limited partners of UELP are Vornado Realty L.P., members of management, our Board of Trustees and contributors of property interests acquired. Under the limited partnership agreement of UELP, unitholders may present their common units of UELP for redemption at any time (subject to restrictions agreed upon at the time of issuance of the units that may restrict such right for a period of time). Upon presentation of a common unit for redemption, UELP must redeem the unit for cash equal to the then value of a share of UE’s common shares, as defined by the limited partnership agreement. In lieu of cash redemption by UELP, however, UE may elect to acquire any common units so tendered by issuing common shares of UE in exchange for the common units. If UE so elects, its common shares will be exchanged for common units on a one-for-one basis. This one-for-one exchange ratio is subject to specified adjustments to prevent dilution. UE generally expects that it will elect to issue its common shares in connection with each such presentation for redemption rather than having UELP pay cash. With each such exchange or redemption, UE’s percentage ownership in UELP will increase. In addition, whenever UE issues common shares other than to acquire common units of UELP, UE must contribute any net proceeds it receives to UELP and UELP must issue to UE an equivalent number of common units of UELP. This structure is commonly referred to as an umbrella partnership REIT, or UPREIT.
The Company believes that combining the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q of UE and UELP into this single report provides the following benefits:
enhances investors’ understanding of UE and UELP 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 and readable presentation because a substantial portion of the disclosure applies to both UE and UELP; and
creates time and cost efficiencies throughout the preparation of one combined report instead of two separate reports.
The Company believes it is important to understand the few differences between UE and UELP in the context of how UE and UELP operate as a consolidated company. The financial results of UELP are consolidated into the financial statements of UE. UE does not have any other significant assets, liabilities or operations, other than its investment in UELP, nor does it have employees of its own. UELP, not UE, generally executes all significant business relationships other than transactions involving the securities of UE. UELP holds substantially all of the assets of UE.UE and retains the ownership interests in the Company's joint ventures. UELP conducts the operations of the business and is structured as a partnership with no publicly traded equity. Except for the net proceeds from equity offerings by UE, which are contributed to the capital of UELP in exchange for units of limited partnership in UELP, as applicable, UELP generates all remaining capital required by the Company’s business. These sources may include working capital, net cash provided by operating activities, borrowings under the revolving credit facility,agreement, the issuance of secured and unsecured debt and equity securities and proceeds received from the disposition of certain properties.
Shareholders’ equity, partners’ capital and noncontrolling interests are the main areas of difference between the consolidated financial statements of UE and UELP. The limited partners of UELP are accounted for as partners’ capital in UELP’s financial statements and as noncontrolling interests in UE’s financial statements. The noncontrolling interests in UELP’s financial statements include the interests of unaffiliated partners in consolidated entities. The noncontrolling interests in UE’s financial statements include the same noncontrolling interests at UELP’s level and limited partners of UELP. The differences between shareholders’ equity and partners’ capital result from differences in the equity issued at UE and UELP levels.
To help investors better understand the key differences between UE and UELP, certain information for UE and UELP in this report has been separated, as set forth below: Item 1. Financial Statements (unaudited), which includes specific disclosures for UE and UELP, Note 15,14, Equity and Noncontrolling InterestsInterest and Note 16, thereto, Earnings Per Share and Unit.
This report also includes separate Part I, Item 4. Controls and Procedures sections and separate Exhibits 31 and 32 certifications for each of UE and UELP in order to establish that the requisite certifications have been made and that UE and UELP are compliant with Rule 13a-15 or Rule 15d-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and 18 U.S.C. §1350.

3.     SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


UseReal Estate Real estate is carried at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. Expenditures for ordinary maintenance and repairs are expensed to operations as they are incurred. Significant renovations that improve or extend the useful lives of assets are capitalized. As real estate is undergoing redevelopment activities, all property operating expenses directly associated with and attributable to the redevelopment, including interest, are capitalized to the extent the capitalized costs of the property do not exceed the estimated fair value of the property when completed. If the cost of the redeveloped property, including the net book value of the existing property, exceeds the estimated fair value of redeveloped property, the excess is charged to impairment expense. The capitalization period begins when redevelopment activities are underway and ends when the project is substantially complete. Depreciation is recognized on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives which range from one to 40 years.

Upon the acquisition of real estate, we assess the fair value of acquired assets (including land, buildings and improvements, identified intangibles, such as acquired above and below-market leases, acquired in-place leases and tenant relationships) and acquired liabilities and we allocate the purchase price based on these assessments on a relative fair value basis. We assess fair value based on estimated cash flow projections utilizing appropriate discount and capitalization rates and available market information. Estimates of future cash flows are based on a number of factors including historical operating results, known trends, and market/economic conditions. We record acquired intangible assets (including acquired above-market leases, acquired in-place leases and tenant relationships) and acquired intangible liabilities (including below-market leases) at their estimated fair value. We amortize identified intangibles that have finite lives over the period they are expected to contribute directly or indirectly to the future cash flows of the property or business acquired.

Our properties are individually reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Such events and changes include macroeconomic conditions, including those caused by global pandemics, like the recent coronavirus disease pandemic (“COVID-19” or the “COVID-19 pandemic”), which resulted in property operational disruption and indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment exists when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the aggregate projected future cash flows over the anticipated holding period on an undiscounted basis taking into account the appropriate capitalization rate in determining a future terminal value. An impairment loss is measured based on the excess of the property’s carrying amount over its estimated fair value. Estimated fair value may be based on discounted future cash flows utilizing appropriate discount and capitalization rates and, in addition to available market information, third-party appraisals, broker selling estimates or sale agreements under negotiation. Impairment analyses are based on our current plans, intended holding periods and available market information at the time the analyses are prepared. If our estimates of the projected future cash flows change based on uncertain market conditions, our evaluation of impairment losses may be different and such differences could be material to our consolidated financial statements.

Tenant and Other Receivables and Changes in Collectibility Assessment The preparation Tenant receivables include unpaid amounts billed to tenants, disputed enforceable charges and accrued revenues for future billings to tenants for property expenses. We evaluate the collectibility of amounts due from tenants and disputed enforceable charges on both a lease-by-lease and a portfolio-level, which result from the inability of tenants to make required payments under their operating lease agreements. We recognize changes in the collectibility assessment of these operating leases as adjustments to rental revenue in accordance with ASC 842 Leases. Management exercises judgment in assessing collectibility and considers payment history, current credit status and publicly available information about the financial condition of the tenant, among other factors. Tenant receivables, and receivables arising from the straight-lining of rents, are written-off directly when management deems the collectibility of substantially all future lease payments from a specific lease is not probable of collection, at which point, the Company will begin recognizing revenue from such leases prospectively, based on actual amounts received. This write-off effectively reduces cumulative non-cash rental income recognized from the straight-lining of rents since lease commencement. If the Company subsequently determines that it is probable it will collect substantially all of the lessee’s remaining lease payments under the lease term, the Company will reinstate the receivables arising from the straight-lining of rents balance adjusting for the amount related to the period when the lease was accounted for on a cash basis.

Recently Issued Accounting Literature — Effective for the fiscal period beginning January 1, 2020, we adopted ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (ASC 326): Measurement of Credit Losses. In connection with the adoption of ASU 2016-03, we also adopted (i) ASU 2018-19 Codification Improvements to ASC 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, (ii)ASU 2019-04, Codification Improvements to ASC 326, Financial Statements - Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging and Topic 825, Financial Instruments, (iii) ASU 2019-05 Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (ASC 326): Targeted Transition Relief and (iv)ASU 2019-11 Codification Improvements to ASC 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses. ASU 2016-13 introduces a new model for estimating credit losses for certain types of financial instruments and also modifies the impairment model with new methodology for estimating credits losses. In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-19 Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses, which included amendments to clarify receivables arising from operating leases are within the scope ASC 842 Leases.

In May 2017,December 2019, the FASB issued an update (“ASU 2017-09”) Scope of Modification2019-12 Income Taxes (ASC 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which clarifies when to account for a change to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award as a modification. Under the new guidance, modification accounting will not apply if the fair value, vesting conditions,enhances and classificationsimplifies various aspects of the awards are the same immediately before and after the modification.income tax accounting. ASU 2017-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. We expect to adopt the standard beginning January 1, 2018. Once adopted, if we encounter a change to the terms or conditions of any of our share-based payment awards we will evaluate the need to apply modification accounting based on the new guidance. The general treatment for modifications of share-based payment awards is to record the incremental value arising from the change as additional compensation cost.
In February 2017, the FASB issued an updated (“ASU 2017-05”) Other Income - Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets, to clarify the scope and accounting for derecognition of nonfinancial assets. ASU 2017-05 eliminated the guidance specific to real estate sales and partial sales. ASU 2017-05 defines “in-substance nonfinancial assets” and includes guidance on partial sales of nonfinancial assets. ASU 2017-052019-12 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, with early2020. Early adoption is permitted.

We will disclose the nature of and reason for electing the optional expedient in the nine months ended September 30, 2017,each interim and accordingly, acquisition costs for these acquisitions have been capitalized (refer to Note 4 Acquisitionsannual financial statement period if and Dispositions).when applicable through December 31, 2022.

In February 2016,April 2020, the FASB issued an update (“ASU 2016-02”a question-and-answer document (the “Lease Modification Q&A”) Leases, which revisesfocused on the application of lease accounting relatedguidance to lease accounting.concessions provided as a result of COVID-19. Under existing lease guidance, the Company would have to determine, on a lease by lease basis, if a lease concession was the result of a new arrangement reached with the tenant (treated with the lease modification accounting framework) or if a lease concession was under the enforceable rights and obligations within the existing lease agreement (precluded from applying the lease modification accounting framework). The Lease Modification Q&A clarifies that entities may elect to not evaluate whether lease-related relief, that lessors provide to mitigate the economic effects of COVID-19 on lessees, is a lease modification under ASC 842. Instead, when the cash flows resulting from the lease concession granted for COVID-19 rent relief are substantially the same or less than the cash flows of the original contract, an entity may elect to apply the modification guidance lessees will be required(i.e. assume the relief was always contemplated by the contract or assume the relief was not contemplated by the contract).

The FASB stated that there are multiple ways to account for rent concessions, none of which the FASB believes are more preferable than the others. Two of those methods are: (i) account for the concessions as if no changes to the lease contract were made; under that accounting, a lessor would continue to increase its lease receivable and continue to recognize income, referred to as the “receivable approach”; or (ii) account for the deferred payments or abatements as variable lease payments; under that accounting, a lessor would recognize the payment as income in profit or loss in the period in which the changes in facts and circumstances on which the variable lease liability andpayments are based occurred, referred to as the “variable approach”.

The Company makes this election on a right-of-use asset for alldisaggregated basis, with such election applied consistently to leases with terms greater than 12 months. Leases will be classifiedsimilar characteristics and similar circumstances. As of June 30, 2021, the Company has granted rent deferrals accounted under both the receivable approach by electing the Lease Modification Q&A and as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. The provisions of ASU 2016-02 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and should be applied through a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginningmodifications due to term extensions of the earliest comparative period presentedleases. The Company has also granted abatements accounted under both the variable approach and as modifications due to the executed agreements including other rental term modifications, such as term extensions and substantial changes in cash flows. The Company remains in active discussions with its impacted tenants to grant further concessions. The full future impact of the financial statements. Early adoptionLease Modification Q&A is permitted. We expectdependent upon the extent of lease concessions granted to adopttenants as a result of COVID-19 and the standard beginning January 1, 2019. This standard will impact ourelections made by the Company at the time of entering into such concessions. Refer to Note 10 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements by the recordingin Part I, Item I of right-of-use assets and lease liabilitiesthis Quarterly Report on our consolidated balance sheets for operating and finance leases where we are the lessee. We are currently in the process of evaluating the inputs required to calculate the amount that will be recorded on our consolidated balance sheets for these leases. In addition, leases where we are the lessor that meet the criteria of a finance lease will be amortized using the effective interest method with corresponding charges to interest expense and amortization expense. Leases where we are the lessor that meet the criteria of an operating lease will continue to be amortized on a straight-line basis. Further, internal leasing department costs previously capitalized will be expensed within general and administrative expenses. Historical capitalization of internal leasing costs was $0.5 million and $0.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and the year ended December 31, 2016, respectively. We expect this standard will have an impact on the classification of reimbursements of real estate taxes, insurance expenses and certain non-lease components of revenue (reimbursements of common area maintenance expenses) for new leases executed on or after January 1, 2019. There will be no material impact on total revenues.Form 10-Q.

In May 2014, the FASB issued an update (“ASU 2014-09”) Revenue from Contracts with Customers to ASC Topic 606, which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in ASC Topic 605, Revenue Recognition. ASU 2014-09 requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. During the year ended December 31, 2016, the FASB issued the following updates to ASC Topic 606 to clarify and/or amend the guidance in ASU 2014-09: (i) ASU 2016-08 Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net), which clarifies the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations, (ii) ASU 2016-10 Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing, which clarifies guidance related to identifying performance obligations and licensing implementation guidance and (iii) ASU 2016-12 Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients, which amends certain aspects of ASU 2014-09. In August 2015, the FASB issued an update (“ASU 2015-09”) Revenue from Contracts with Customers to ASC Topic 606, which defers the effective date of ASU 2014-09 for all entities by one year. ASU 2015-09 is effective beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is permitted only for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. We have commenced the process of adopting ASU 2014-09 for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 using the modified retrospective approach, including evaluating all sources of revenue we expect will be impacted by the adoption of ASU 2014-09. Specifically,


we have evaluated the impact ASU 2014-09 will have on the Company’s management and development fee income as well as tenant reimbursement income relating to certain non-lease components of revenue. Currently, the Company does not believe the adoption will impact the timing of the recognition of these revenue sources. For tenant reimbursement income, we expect there may be an impact to the classification of certain lease and non-lease components of revenue from leases upon the adoption of (“ASU 2016-02”) Leases with no material impact to total revenue. We are in the process of completing our evaluation of the overall impact, including the required disclosures for adoption January 1, 2018.


Any other recently issued accounting standards or pronouncements not disclosed above have been excluded as they are not relevant to the Company or the Operating Partnership, or they are not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Mortgage on Las Catalinas Mall
8.INCOME TAXES

In April 2020, we notified the servicer of the $129 million non-recourse mortgage loan on Las Catalinas Mall in Puerto Rico that cash flow would be insufficient to service the debt and that we were unwilling to fund the shortfalls. In December 2020, the non-recourse mortgage loan on Las Catalinas Mall was modified to convert the mortgage from an amortizing 4.43% loan to interest only payments, starting at 3.00% in 2021 and increasing 50 basis points annually until returning to 4.43% in 2024 and thereafter, and to include the ability for the Company to repay the loan at a discounted value of $72.5 million, beginning in August 2023 through the extended maturity date of February 2026. We have accrued interest of $5.4 million related to this mortgage, which is included in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2021. We incurred $1.2 million of lender fees in connection with the loan modification which are treated as a reduction of the mortgage payable balance and amortized over the term of the loan in accordance with the provisions under ASC 470-60 Troubled Debt Restructurings.

Mortgage on The Outlets at Montehiedra
The Company has provided a $12.5 million limited corporate guarantee of the mortgage secured by Montehiedra that is triggered only if any of the following events occur: (1) certain reserve accounts were not funded as of a specified date (which funding did occur in full at closing), (2) the lease to Sears Holding Corporation (“Kmart”) at Montehiedra is terminated for any reason or (3) the Kmart lease is materially amended and a debt service coverage ratio falls below a specified threshold. In February 2021, Kmart announced that it would be closing the store related to such lease, but the lease has not been terminated or amended and the tenant continues to pay rent. No triggering events have occurred that would require the release of the guarantee and the tenant has lease obligations through 2023. The guarantee would be released should certain financial metrics at Montehiedra be achieved even if the Kmart box remains vacant. The guarantee is reduced commensurate with the loan amortization schedule and will reduce to zero in approximately six years based on the scheduled amortization. As of June 30, 2021, the remaining amount of potential guarantee is approximately $10.8 million.

9.     FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
 
ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures defines fair value and establishes a framework for measuring fair value. The objective of fair value is to determine the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (the exit price). ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into three levels: Level 1 - quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities; Level 2 - observable prices based on inputs not quoted in active markets, but corroborated by market data; and Level 3 - unobservable inputs used when little or no market data is available. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs and the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs. In determining fair value, we utilize valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible as well as consider counterparty credit risk in our assessment of fair value.
Financial Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring or Non-Recurring Basis

There were no0 financial assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

Financial Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis

There were no financial assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis as of SeptemberJune 30, 20172021 and December 31, 2016.2020.


Financial Assets and Liabilities not Measured at Fair Value
Financial assets and liabilities that are not measured at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets include cash and cash equivalents and mortgages payable. Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. The fair value of mortgages payable is calculated by discounting the future contractual cash flows of these instruments using current risk-adjusted rates available to borrowers with similar credit ratings, which are provided by a third-party specialist. The fair value of cash and cash equivalents is classified as Level 1 and the fair valuevalues of mortgages payable is classified as Level 2. The table below summarizes the carrying amounts and fair value of these financial instruments as of SeptemberJune 30, 20172021 and December 31, 2016.2020.

There are various legal actions against us in the ordinary course of business. In our opinion, afterAfter consultation with legal counsel, we have concluded that the outcome of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Loan Commitments: In January 2015, we completed the modification of the $120.0 million, 6.04% mortgage loan secured by Montehiedra Town Center. As part of the planned redevelopment of the property, we committed to fund $20.0 million for leasing and building capital expenditures which has been fully funded as of September 30, 2017.

We cannot anticipate what coverage will be available on commercially reasonable terms in the future.future and expect premiums across most coverage lines to increase in light of recent events. The incurrence of uninsured losses, costs or uncovered premiums could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Our mortgageCertain of our loans are non-recourse and other agreements contain customary covenants requiring adequatethe maintenance of insurance coverage. Although we believe that we currently have adequate insurance coverage for purposes of these agreements, we may not be able to obtain an equivalent amount of coverage at reasonable costs in the future. If lenders or other counterparties insist on greater coverage than we are able to obtain, itsuch requirement could materially and adversely affect our ability to finance our properties and expand our portfolio.
Hurricane-Related Charges
On September 20, 2017, Hurricane Maria made landfall on Puerto Rico and damaged our two properties. The Company estimates it will spend approximately $6.5 million repairing its properties and expects insurance proceeds to cover these costs in addition to business interruption losses, subject to applicable deductibles estimated to be approximately $2.5 million. Based on management’s estimates, which are subject to change, the Company recognized a $2.2 million charge reflecting the net book value of assets damaged during the third quarter.
All anchor tenants are open for business with the exception of Marshalls at Montehiedra, which requires substantial restoration work. The Company has made significant progress remediating the damage to its assets, but full operations, particularly with respect to the interior of each mall, will not resume until power is restored on a continuous basis, the timing of which is uncertain and outside the Company’s control.
The Company has comprehensive, all-risk property and rental value insurance coverage on these properties, including business interruption, with a limit of $139 million per occurrence and in the aggregate and with sub-limits for certain perils such as floods, earthquakes, civil authority and service interruption. Our deductible for windstorm is 2% of total insured value and business interruption coverage has a deductible equal to three days of cessation of operations. No determination has been made as to the total amount or timing of insurance payments that may be received as a result of the hurricane.
The Company has received a $1.0 million cash advance from its insurance provider for the business interruption caused to these properties. Approximately $0.5 million of the advance is included in property rentals on our consolidated statement of income which offsets rent abatements due to tenants in September. The remaining $0.5 million is recorded as deferred revenue and is included in accounts payable and accrued expenses on our consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2017 and will be recognized as earned in subsequent periods.
As of September 30, 2017, the Company has individual, non-recourse mortgages on each of the properties as follows: a $116.4 million mortgage, comprised of a senior and junior loan, maturing in July 2021 secured by the Montehiedra Town Center and a $130.0 million mortgage maturing in August 2024 secured by the Las Catalinas Mall.
Environmental Matters
Each of our properties has been subjected to varying degrees of environmental assessment at various times. Based on these assessments, and the projected remediation costs, we have accrued costs of $1.2 million and $1.3$1.8 million on our consolidated


balance sheets as of Septemberboth June 30, 20172021 and December 31, 2016, respectively,2020, for potential remediation costs for environmental contamination at twocertain properties. While this accrual reflects our best estimates of the potential costs of remediation at these properties, $0.1 million has currently been expended during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and there can be no assurance that the actual costs will not exceed this amount. With respect to ourthese amounts. Although we are not aware of any other properties, the environmental assessments did not reveal any material environmental contamination. However,contamination, there can be no assurance that the identification of new areas of contamination, changes in the extent or known scope of contamination, the discovery of additional sites, or changes in cleanup requirements would not result in significant costs to us.


Pandemic-Related Contingencies
On January 30, 2020, the spread of the COVID-19 outbreak was declared a Public Health Emergency of International Concern by the World Health Organization ("WHO"). On March 11, 2020, WHO characterized the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic. Since March, the continually evolving COVID-19 pandemic impacted our tenants and business operations. The Company has taken precautions to protect the safety, health and well-being of its employees and tenants.
Many of our tenants have faced adverse financial consequences from reduced business operations and social distancing requirements resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. As of June 30, 2021, substantially all of our portfolio's gross leasable area was open for business and the Company collected approximately 96% of rental revenue for the second quarter of 2021. Since the pandemic was declared in 2020, the Company has granted rent concessions and other lease-related relief, such as rent deferrals, to certain impacted tenants. Rent relief, deferral or abatements and tenant defaults on lease obligations, such as repayment of deferred rent may have a negative impact on our rental revenue and net income. As of June 30, 2021, the Company has executed rent deferrals and abatements in connection with tenant rent relief from the pandemic.
The Company is not currently aware of any other loss contingencies related to the COVID-19 pandemic that would require recognition at this time, with the exception of tenant receivables that may not be collected.

Bankruptcies
Although our rental revenue is supported by long-term leases, leases may be rejected in a bankruptcy proceeding and the related tenant stores may permanently vacate prior to lease expiration. In the event a tenant with a significant number of leases or square footage in our shopping centers files for bankruptcy and rejects its leases with us, we could experience a reduction in our revenues. We monitor the operating performance and rent collections of all tenants in our shopping centers, especially those tenants in arrears or operating retail formats that are experiencing significant changes in competition, business practice, or store closings in other locations. Given the economic environment brought upon by COVID-19, certain tenants experienced liquidity or financial hardships and filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection since the pandemic was declared. Although some of these tenants intend to exit the Chapter 11 bankruptcy process and resume operations, the outcomes of such proceedings are unknown and the Company is currently exploring leasing alternatives for these spaces.

15.     SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
2017 Outperformance Plan

On February 24, 2017, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Trustees of the Company approved the Company’s 2017 Outperformance Plan (“2017 OPP”), a multi-year performance-based equity compensation program. Under the 2017 OPP, participants, including our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, have the opportunity to earn awards in the form of LTIP units if, and only if, we outperform a predetermined total shareholder return (“TSR”) and/or outperform the market with respect to a relative TSR in any year during the requisite performance periods as described below. The aggregate notional amount of the 2017 OPP grant is $12.0 million.

Awards under the 2017 OPP may be earned if we (i) achieve a TSR level greater than 7% per annum, or 21% over the three-year performance measurement period, and/or (ii) achieve a TSR equal to or above, that of the 50th percentile of a retail REIT peer group comprised of 14 of our peer companies, over a three-year performance measurement period. Distributions on awards accrue during the measurement period, except that 10% of such distributions are paid in cash. If the designated performance objectives are achieved, LTIP units are also subject to time-based vesting requirements. Awards earned under the 2017 OPP vest 50% in year three, 25% in year four and 25% in year five.

The fair value of the 2017 OPP on the date of grant was $4.1 million using a Monte Carlo simulation to estimate the fair value based on the probability of satisfying the market conditions and the projected share price at the time of payment, discounted to the valuation date over a three-year performance period. Assumptions include historic volatility (19.7%), risk-free interest rates (1.5%), and historic daily return as compared to our Peer Group. Such amount is being amortized into expense over a five-year period from the date of grant, using a graded vesting attribution model.

2021 Long-Term Incentive Plan
On February 10, 2021, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Trustees of the Company approved the Company’s 2021 Long-Term Incentive Plan (“2021 LTI Plan”). The Plan is a multi-year, equity compensation program under which participants, including our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, have the opportunity to earn awards in the form of LTIP units that vest based on the passage of time (one-half of the program) and performance goals tied to our relative and absolute total shareholder return (“TSR”) during the three-year performance period following their grant (one-half of the program). The total grant date fair value under the 2021 LTI Plan was $7.8 million comprising both performance-based and time-based awards as described further below:

Performance-based awards
For the performance-based awards under the 2021 LTI Plan, participants, have the opportunity to earn awards in the form of LTIP Units if Urban Edge’s absolute and/or relative TSR meets certain criteria over the three-year performance measurement period (the “Performance Period”) beginning on February 10, 2021 and ending on February 9, 2024. The Company granted performance-based awards under the 2021 LTI Plan that represent 398,977 LTIP Units. The fair value of the performance-based award portion of the 2021 LTI Plan on the date of grant was $3.9 million using a Monte Carlo simulation to estimate the fair value through a risk-neutral premise.
Under the Absolute TSR component, 40% of the LTIP Units will be earned if the Company’s TSR over the Performance Period
is equal to 18%, 100% of the LTIP Units will be earned if the Company’s TSR over the Performance Period is equal to 27%, and 165% of the LTIP Units will be earned if the Company’s TSR over the Performance Period is equal to or greater than 36%. The Relative TSR component is based on the Company’s performance compared to a peer group comprised of 16 companies. Under the Relative TSR Component, 40% of the LTIP Units will be earned if the Company’s TSR over the Performance Period is equal to the 35th percentile of the peer group, 100% of the LTIP Units will be earned if the Company’s TSR over the Performance Period is equal to the 55th percentile of the peer group, and 165% of the LTIP Units will be earned if the Company’s TSR over the Performance Period is equal to or above the 75th percentile of the peer group, with earning determined using linear interpolation if in between such relative and absolute TSR thresholds.

Time-based awards
The time-based awards granted under the 2021 LTI Plan, also granted in the form of LTIP Units, vest ratably over three years except in the case of our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, where the vesting is ratably over four years. As of June 30, 2021, the Company granted time-based awards under the 2021 LTI Plan that represent 273,615 LTIP units with a grant date fair value of $3.9 million.

16.     EARNINGS PER SHARE AND UNIT


Urban Edge Earnings per Share
We have calculated earnings per share (“EPS”) under the two-class method. The two-class method is an earnings allocation methodology whereby EPS for each class of Urban Edge common shares and participating securities is calculated according to dividends declared and participating rights in undistributed earnings. Restricted shares issued pursuant to our share-based compensation program are considered participating securities, and as such have non-forfeitable rights to receive dividends.

Results of Operations
We derive substantially all of our revenue from rents received from tenants under existing leases on each of our properties. This revenue includes fixed base rents, recoveries of expenses that we have incurred and that we pass through to the individual tenants and percentage rents that are based on specified percentages of tenants’ revenue, in each case as provided in the respective leases.
Our primary cash expensesexpenditures consist of our property operating and capital expenses,costs, general and administrative expenses, and interest and debt expense. Property operating expenses include: real estate taxes, repairs and maintenance, management expenses, insurance and utilities; general and administrative expenses include payroll, professional fees, information technology, office expenses and other administrative expenses; and interest and debt expense is primarily consists of interest on our mortgage debt and amortization of deferred financing costs on our revolving credit facility.debt. In addition, we incur substantial non-cash charges for depreciation and amortization on our properties. We also capitalize certain expenses, such as taxes, interest and salaries related to properties under development or redevelopment until the property is ready for its intended use.
Our consolidated results of operations often are not comparable from period to period due to the impact of property acquisitions, dispositions, developments, redevelopments and redevelopments.changes in accounting policies. The results of operations of any acquired properties are included in our financial statements as of the date of acquisition. Our results of operations are affected by national, regional and local economic conditions, as well as macroeconomic conditions, which are at times subject to volatility and uncertainty. The current COVID-19 pandemic has increased volatility and uncertainty and has created significant economic disruption in many markets. Vaccinations for the COVID-19 virus have begun to be widely distributed among the general U.S. population, which has loosened restrictions previously mandated on our tenants identified as nonessential; however the potential emergence of vaccine-resistant variants of COVID-19 may trigger restrictions to be put back in place. Such restrictions may include mandatory business shut-downs, reduced business operations and social distancing requirements. The long-term consequences of the various restrictions taken during the pandemic on consumer behavior is currently unknown. Specifically, the revenue and sales volume for certain tenants identified as nonessential may decline significantly as demand for their services and products declines potentially longer term. We are actively managing our business to respond to the ongoing economic and social impact and uncertainty relating to the COVID-19 pandemic; however, our future near term and potentially longer term results of operations may be significantly adversely affected.

$4.4 million increase in amortization of in-place leases as a result of the write-off of the existing intangible assets at Yonkers Gateway Center upon acquisition of the remaining fee and leasehold interests;
$2.6 million increase from development projects and tenant improvements placed into service since September 2016, partially offset by
$0.4 million in-place lease write-off due to a tenant vacating during the third quarter of 2016.
Real estate taxes increased by $5.3 million to $44.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 from $38.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The increase is primarily attributable to:
$3.4 million increase as a result of property acquisitions net of dispositions that closed since September 2016;dispositions.
$1.6General and administrative expenses decreased by $9.7 million increase due to higher assessed values and tax refunds received in 2016; and
$0.3$18.2 million increase due to additional real estate taxes capitalized in the thirdsix months ended June 30, 2021 from $27.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease is primarily attributable to:
$7.2 million of executive transition costs incurred in the second quarter of 2016 related to space taken out of service for development and redevelopment projects.
Casualty and impairment losses of2020 including $5.6 million were recognizedof accelerated amortizations of unvested equity awards; and
$2.5 million net decrease in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as a result of the following events:transaction, severance and other expenses.
$3.5 million real estate impairment loss on our property previously classified as held for sale in Eatontown, NJ, due to the book value of this property exceeding its fair value less costs to sell. The Company’s determination of fair value was based on the executed contract of sale with the third-party buyer less selling costs; and
$2.2 million casualty loss in the third quarter of 2017 to write-off the estimated net book value of the fixed assets damaged by Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico.

We recognized a gain on sale of real estate of $11.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2021 due to the sale of one property in East Hanover, NJ and a portion of a property in Lodi, NJ. We recognized a gain on sale of real estate of $39.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020 due to the sale of three operating properties.
Interest and debt expense decreased by $6.2 million to $29.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2021 from $35.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease is primarily attributable to:

Non-GAAP Financial Measures


We use NOI internally to make investment and capital allocation decisions and to compare the unlevered performance of our properties to our peers. Further, we believe NOI is useful to investors as a performance measure because, when compared across periods, NOI reflects the impact on operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs and acquisition and disposition activity on an unleveraged basis, providing perspective not immediately apparent from net income. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure to NOI is net income. NOI excludes certain components from net income in order to provide results that are more closely related to a property’s results of operations. We calculate NOI by adjusting net income to add back depreciation and amortization expense, general and administrative expenses, casualty and real estate impairment losses, interest and debt expense, income tax expense and non-cash lease expense, and deduct management and development fee income from non-owned properties, gains on sale of real estate, interest income, non-cash rental income resulting from the straight-lining of rents and amortization of acquired below market leases net of above market leases. NOI should not be considered a substitute for net income and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by others. The Company has historically defined this metric as "Cash NOI." There have been no changes to the calculation of this metric. However, the Company has decided to refer to this metric as "NOI" instead of "Cash NOI" to further clarify that, consistent with the definition of this metric, the revenue and expenses reflected in this metric include some accrued amounts and are not limited to amounts for which the Company actually received or made cash payment during the applicable period.

We calculate same-property NOI using net income as defined by GAAP reflecting only those income and expense items that are reflected in NOI (as described above) and excluding properties that were under development, redevelopment or that involve anchor repositioning where a substantial portion of the gross leasable area is taken out of service, and also excludes properties acquired or sold during the periods being compared. We also exclude for the following items in calculating same-property NOI: lease termination fees, bankruptcy settlement income, and income and expenses that we do not believe are representative of ongoing operating results, if any. As such, same-property NOI assists in eliminating disparities in net income due to the development, redevelopment, acquisition or disposition of properties during the periods presented, and thus provides a more consistent performance measure for the comparison of the operating performance of the Company’s properties, which the Company believes to be useful to investors. Same-property NOI should not be considered a substitute for net income and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by others. The Company has historically defined this metric as "same-property Cash NOI." There have been no changes to the calculation of this metric.

Throughout this section, we have provided certain information on a “same-property” cash basis which includes the results of operations that were owned and operated for the entirety of the reporting periods being compared, totaling 75which total 72 and 70 properties for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172021 and 2016.2020, respectively. Information provided on a same-property basis excludes properties that were under development, redevelopment or that involve anchor repositioning where a substantial portion of the gross leasable area is taken out of service and also excludes properties acquired sold, under contract to be sold, or that are in the foreclosure processsold during the periods being compared. While there is judgment surrounding changes in designations, a property is removed from the same-property pool when a property is considered to be a redevelopment property because it is undergoing significant renovation or retenanting pursuant to a formal plan and is expected to have a significant impact on property operating income based on the retenanting that is occurring. A development or redevelopment property is moved back to the same-property pool once a substantial portion of the NOI growth expected from the development or redevelopment is reflected in both the current and comparable prior year period, generally one year after at least 80% of the expected NOI from the project is realized on a cash basis. Acquisitions are moved into the same-property pool once we have owned the property for the entirety of the comparable periods and the property is not under significant development or redevelopment.


We calculate same-property cash NOI using net income as defined by GAAP reflecting only those income and expense items that are incurred at the property level, adjusted for the following items: lease termination fees, bankruptcy settlement income, non-cash rental income and ground rent expense and income or expenses that we do not believe are representative of ongoing operating results, if any.


The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure to cash NOI is net income. Cash NOI excludes certain components from net income in order to provide results that are more closely related to a property’s results of operations. We calculate cash NOI by adjusting GAAP operating income to add back depreciation and amortization expense, general and administrative expenses, casualty and real estate impairment losses and non-cash ground rent expense, and deduct non-cash rental income resulting from the straight-lining of rents and amortization of acquired below market leases net of above market leases.


We use cash NOI internally to make investment and capital allocation decisions and to compare the unlevered performance of our properties to our peers. Further, we believe cash NOI is useful to investors as a performance measure because, when compared across periods, cash NOI reflects the impact on operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs and acquisition and disposition activity on an unleveraged basis, providing perspective not immediately apparent from operating income or net income. As such, cash NOI assists in eliminating disparities in net income due to the development, redevelopment, acquisition or disposition of properties during the periods presented, and thus provides a more consistent performance measure for the comparison of the operating performance of the Company’s properties. Cash NOI and same-property cash NOI should not be considered substitutes for operating income or net income and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by others.

Funds From Operations
FFO was $35.4 million for the three and nine months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017 was $40.0 million and $152.1 million, respectively,2021 compared to $34.8$55.7 million and $102.2 million, respectively, for the three and nineJune 30, 2020. FFO was $67.2 million for the six months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2021 compared to $90.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020.
We calculate FFO in accordance with the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts’ (‘‘NAREIT’’(“Nareit”) definition. NAREITNareit defines FFO as net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of depreciateddepreciable real estate assets,and land when connected to the main business of a REIT, impairments on depreciable real estate impairment losses,or land related to a REIT's main business, and rental property depreciation and amortization expense. We believe FFO is a meaningful non-GAAP financial measure useful in comparing our levered operating performance from period to period both internally and among our peers because this non-GAAP measure excludes net gains on sales of depreciable real estate, real estate impairment losses, rental property depreciation and amortization expense which implicitly assumes that the value of real estate diminishes predictably over time rather than fluctuating based on market conditions. We believe the presentation of comparable period operating results generated from FFO provides useful information to investors because the definition excludes items included in net income that do not relate to or are not indicative of our operating and financial performance, such as depreciation and amortization related to real estate, and items which can make periodic and peer analyses of operating and financial performance more difficult, such as gains (or losses) from sales of depreciable real estate and land when connected to the main business of a REIT and impairments on depreciable real estate or land related to a REIT's main business. FFO does not represent cash flows from operating activities in accordance with GAAP, should not be considered an alternative to net income as an indication of our performance, and is not indicative of cash flow as a measure of liquidity or our ability to make cash distributions. FFO may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by others.

Liquidity and Capital Resources


Due to the nature of our business, we typically generate significant amounts of cash from operations; however, the cash generated from operations is primarily paid to our shareholders and unitholders of the Operating Partnership in the form of distributions. Our status as a REIT requires that we generally distribute at least 90% of our REITREIT’s ordinary taxable income each year. OurOur Board of Trustees declared a quarterly dividend of $0.22$0.15 per common share and OP unit for each of the first three quartersquarter of 2017,2021, or an annual rate of $0.88. We expect to pay$0.60. Historically, we have paid regular cash dividends,dividends; however, the timing, declaration, amount and payment of distributions to shareholders and unitholders of the Operating Partnership fallsfall within the discretion of our Board of Trustees. Our Board of Trustees’ decisions regarding the payment of dividends depends on many factors, such as maintaining our REIT tax status, our financial condition, earnings, capital requirements, debt service obligations, limitations under our financing arrangements, industry practice, legal requirements, regulatory constraints, uncertainties related to the COVID-19 pandemic and other factors.


Property rental income is our primary source of cash flow and is dependent on a number of factors, including our occupancy level and rental rates, as well as our tenants’ ability to pay rent. Our properties providehave historically provided us with a relatively consistent stream of cash flow that enables us to pay operating expenses, debt service and recurring capital expenditures. The COVID-19 pandemic had an adverse impact on our short-term cash flow by negatively impacting our tenants’ ability to pay rent. As of June 30, 2020, we had collected 66% of property rentals and tenant expense reimbursements billed in the quarter. Throughout the pandemic, we have worked with our tenants to evaluate the need for and offer rent relief, including in the form of rent concessions and rent deferrals. As of July 30, 2021, we have collected 84% of amounts billed during the second quarter of 2020, and the collection rate has substantially improved each subsequent quarter. We have collected 97% of rents and tenant expense reimbursements billed during the six months ended June 30, 2021. Other sources of liquidity to fund cash requirements include proceeds from financings, equity offerings and asset sales.

Our short-term liquiditycash requirements consist of normal recurring operating expenses, lease obligations, regular debt service requirements, (including debt service relating to additional or replacement debt, as well as scheduled debt maturities), recurring expenditures (general & administrative expenses), expenditures related to leasing activity and distributions to shareholders and unitholders of the Operating Partnership. Our long-term capital requirements consist primarily of maturities under our long-term debt agreements, development and redevelopment costs and potential acquisitions.

At SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2021, we had cash and cash equivalents, including restricted cash, of $380.4$379 million and no amounts drawn on our line of credit. On March 7, 2017, we amended and extended our line of credit. The amendment increased the credit facility size by $100 million to $600 million revolving credit agreement, which matures on January 29, 2024.

The Company continues to monitor the COVID-19 pandemic and extendedits impact on our overall liquidity position and outlook. The ultimate impact that COVID-19 may have on our operational and financial performance over the maturity date to March 7, 2021 with two six-month extension options.

On May 10, 2017, the Company issued 7.7 million common shares of beneficial interest in an underwritten public offering pursuant to the Company’s effective shelf registration statement previously filed on Form S-3 (File No. 333-212951) with the SEC on August 5, 2016. This offering generated cash proceeds of $193.5 million, net of $1.3 million of issuance costs.

On August 4, 2017, the Company issued 6.25 million common shares of beneficial interest to a large institutional investor at a net price of $24.80 per share, pursuant to the Company’s effective shelf registration statement previously filed on Form S-3 (File No. 333-212951) with the SEC on August 5, 2016. The issuance was a direct sale with no underwriter or placement agent such that net cash proceeds to the Company were $155 million.

In 2016, the Company established an at-the-market (“ATM”) equity program, pursuant to which the Company may offernext 12 months is currently uncertain and sell from time to time its common shares, par value $0.01 per share, with an aggregate gross sales price of up to $250.0 million through a consortium of broker dealers acting as sales agents. As of September 30, 2017, $241.3 million of common shares remained available for issuance under this ATM equity program and there were no common shares issued under the ATM equity program during the nine months ended September 30, 2017. From September 2016 to December 31, 2016, the Company issued 307,342 common shares at a weighted average price of $28.45 under its ATM equity program, generating cash proceeds of $8.7 million. We paid $0.1 million of commissions to distribution agents and $0.4 million in additional offering expenses related to the issuance of these common shares. Actual future sales will depend on a variety ofmany factors, including but not limitedwithout limitation, its magnitude and duration and the adverse financial impact on our tenants from reduced business operations and social distancing requirements, which may impact tenants’ ability to market conditions,generate sales at sufficient levels to cover operating costs such as rent. Our ability to utilize amounts available under our revolving credit facility in the trading pricefuture will depend on our continued compliance with the applicable financial covenants and other terms of our common shares and our capital needs. We have no obligationrevolving credit agreement, which may be impacted by failure of tenants to sell the remaining shares available under the active ATM equity program.
On January 4, 2017, we issued 1.8 million OP units in connection with the acquisition of Yonkers Gateway Center at a value of $27.09 per unit. On May 24 and 25, 2017 we issued 2.6 million OP units and 1.9 million OP units, respectively, in connection with the Portfolio acquisition at a value of $27.02 per unit.

We currently believe that cash flows from operations over the next 12 months, together with cash on hand, our ATM equity program, our line ofavailable revolving credit and our general ability to access the capital markets, willshould be sufficient to finance our operations and fund our debt service requirements and capital expenditures.expenditures over the next 12 months.

On March 30, 2015, we notified the lender that due to tenants vacating, the property’s operating cash flow would be insufficient to pay its debt service. As of September 30, 2017, we were in default and the property was transferred to receivership. Urban Edge no longer manages the property but will remain its title owner until the receiver disposes of the property. We have determined this property is held in a VIE for which we are the primary beneficiary. Accordingly, as of September 30, 2017 we consolidated Englewood and its operations.

The effective interest rate including amortization of the debt premium is 1.77%as of September 30, 2017.


The net carrying amount of real estate collateralizing the above indebtedness amounted to approximately $1.3 billion as of SeptemberJune 30, 2017.2021. Our mortgage loans contain covenants that limit our ability to incur additional indebtedness on these properties and in certain circumstances, require lender approval of tenant leases and/or yield maintenance upon repayment prior to maturity. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2021, we were in compliance with all debt covenants.


On January 15, 2015, we entered into a $500 million Revolving Credit Agreement (the “Agreement”) with certain financial institutions. On March 7, 2017, we amended and extended the Agreement. The amendment increased the credit facility size by $100 million to $600 million and extended the maturity date to March 7, 2021 with two six-month extension options. BorrowingsOn July 29, 2019, we entered into a second amendment to the Agreement to extend the maturity date to January 29, 2024 with two six-month extension options. Company borrowings under the Agreement are subject to interest at LIBOR plus 1.15%1.05% to 1.50% and we are required to pay an annual facility fee of 15 to 30 basis points. Both the spread over LIBOR and the facility fee are based on our current leverage ratio and are subject to increase if our leverage ratio increases above predefined thresholds. The Agreement contains customary financial covenants including a maximum leverage ratio of 60% and a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.5x. No amounts havehad been drawn to date under the Agreement.Agreement as of June 30, 2021.


On June 3, 2020, we amended the Agreement to, among other things, modify certain definitions and the measurement period for certain financial covenants to a trailing four-quarter period instead of the most recent quarter period annualized. Under the
37


Agreement, our financial covenants are generally measured using operating results of a trailing four-quarter period from the prior trailing four-quarter period, including the maximum leverage ratio, which measures our asset value based on net operating income, as defined in the Agreement. Net operating income is defined, in part, based on rents and other revenues received in the ordinary course of business from our properties. We currently believe that with our cash on hand, we will have sufficient resources to finance our operations and fund our debt service requirements and capital expenditures for at least the next twelve months.

When LIBOR is discontinued, which is currently anticipated to be during 2023, the interest rates for our debt following such event will be based on either alternate base rates or agreed upon replacement rates. Such an event would not affect our ability to borrow or maintain already outstanding borrowings, although it could result in higher interest rates.

On May 5, 2021 we established an at-the-market equity program (the “ATM Program”), pursuant to which we may offer and sell common shares, par value $0.01 per share, with an aggregate gross sales price of up to $250 million. Sales under the ATM Program may be made from time to time, as needed, by means of ordinary brokers’ transactions or other transactions that are deemed to be “at the market” offerings, in privately negotiated transactions, which may include block trades, or as otherwise agreed with the sales agents.

As of June 30, 2021, we have not issued any common shares under the ATM Program. Future sales will depend on a variety of factors including, but not limited to, market conditions, the trading price of our common shares, and our capital needs. The Company has no obligation to sell any shares under the ATM Program.

Commitments and Contingencies
Loan Commitments
In January 2015, we completed a modification of the $120.0 million, 6.04% mortgage loan secured by Montehiedra. As part of the planned redevelopment of the property, we committed to fund $20.0 million for leasing and other capital expenditures which has been fully funded as of September 30, 2017.

Insurance
We maintainThe Company maintains numerous insurance policies including for general liability, insurance with limitsproperty, pollution, acts of $200 million for properties interrorism, trustees’ and officers’, cyber, workers’ compensation and automobile-related liabilities. However, all such policies are subject to terms, conditions, exclusions, deductibles and sub-limits, amount other limiting factors. For example, the U.S. and Puerto Rico and all-risk property and rental valueCompany’s terrorism insurance coverage with limits of $500 million for properties in the U.S. and $139 million for properties in Puerto Rico, with sub-limits for certain perils such as floods and earthquakes on each of our properties. Our insurance includes coverage for terrorism acts but excludes coverage for nuclear, biological, chemical or radiological terrorism events as defined by the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act, which expires in December 2020. In addition, we maintainAct.
The Company’s primary and excess insurance policies providing coverage for cybersecurity with limitspollution related losses have an aggregate limit of $5$50 million and provide remediation and business interruption coverage for pollution incidents, which pursuant to our policies expressly include the presence and dispersal of viruses. On December 23, 2020, the Company initiated litigation in New Jersey state court, Bergen County, under these policies to recover uncollected rents and other amounts resulting from the aggregate providing first and third party coverage including network interruption, event management, cyber extortion and claims for media content, security and privacy liability. COVID-19 virus.
Insurance premiums are typically charged directly to each of the retail properties and warehouses. We will bebut not all of the cost of such premiums are recovered. The Company is responsible for deductibles, and losses in excess of insurance coverage, and the portion of premiums not reimbursable by tenants at our properties, which could be material.

We continue to monitor the state of the insurance market and the scope and costs of coverage for acts of terrorism. However, weavailable coverage. We cannot anticipate what coverage will be available on commercially reasonable terms in the future. Our mortgagefuture and expect premiums across most coverage lines to increase in light of recent events. The incurrence of uninsured losses, costs or uncovered premiums could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Certain of our loans are non-recourse and other agreements contain customary covenants requiring adequatethe maintenance of insurance coverage. Although we believe that we currently have adequate insurance coverage for purposes of these agreements, we may not be able to obtain an equivalent amount of coverage at reasonable costs in the future. If lenders or other counterparties insist on greater coverage than we are able to obtain, itsuch requirement could materially and adversely affect our ability to finance our properties and expand our portfolio.

Hurricane-Related Charges
On September 20, 2017, Hurricane Maria made landfall on Puerto Rico and damaged our two properties. The Company estimates it will spend approximately $6.5 million repairing its properties and expects insurance proceeds to cover these costs in addition to business interruption losses, subject to applicable deductibles estimated to be approximately $2.5 million. Based on management’s estimates, which are subject to change, the Company recognized a $2.2 million charge reflecting the net book value of assets damaged during the third quarter.
All anchor tenants are open for business with the exception of Marshalls at Montehiedra, which requires substantial restoration work. The Company has made significant progress remediating the damage to its assets, but full operations, particularly with respect to the interior of each mall, will not resume until power is restored on a continuous basis, the timing of which is uncertain and outside the Company’s control.
The Company has comprehensive, all-risk property and rental value insurance coverage on these properties, including business interruption, with a limit of $139 million per occurrence and in the aggregate and with sub-limits for certain perils such as floods, earthquakes, civil authority and service interruption. Our deductible for windstorm is 2% of total insured value and business interruption coverage has a deductible equal to three days of cessation of operations. No determination has been made as to the total amount or timing of insurance payments that may be received as a result of the hurricane.
The Company has received a $1.0 million cash advance from its insurance provider for the business interruption caused to these properties. Approximately $0.5 million of the advance is included in property rentals on our consolidated statement of income which offsets rent abatements due to tenants in September. The remaining $0.5 million is recorded as deferred revenue and is included in accounts payable and accrued expenses on our consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2017 and will be recognized as earned in subsequent periods.
As of September 30, 2017, the Company has individual, non-recourse mortgages on each of the properties as follows: a $116.4 million mortgage, comprised of a senior and junior loan, maturing in July 2021 secured by the Montehiedra Town Center and a $130.0 million mortgage maturing in August 2024 secured by the Las Catalinas Mall.


Environmental Matters
Each of our properties has been subjected to varying degrees of environmental assessment at various times. Based on these assessments, and the projected remediation costs, we have accrued costs of $1.2 million and $1.3$1.8 million on our consolidated balance sheets as of Septemberboth June 30, 20172021 and December 31, 2016,2020, respectively, for potential remediation costs for environmental contamination at twocertain properties. While this accrual reflects our best estimates of the potential costs of remediation at these properties, $0.1 million has currently been expended during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and there can be no assurance that the actual costs will not exceed this amount. With respect to ourthese amounts. Although we are not aware of any other properties, the environmental assessments did not reveal


any material environmental contamination. However,contamination, there can be no assurance that the identification of new areas of contamination, changes in the extent or known scope of contamination, the discovery of additional sites, or changes in cleanup requirements would not result in significant costs to us.


Pandemic-Related Contingencies
Many of our tenants faced adverse financial consequences from reduced business operations and social distancing requirements resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. As of June 30, 2021, substantially all of our portfolio's gross leasable area was open for business and the Company collected approximately 96% of rental revenue for the second quarter of 2021. Since the pandemic was declared in 2020, the Company has granted rent concessions and other lease-related relief, such as rent deferrals, to certain impacted tenants. We evaluate rent relief requests on a case-by-case basis and not all requests are granted. Rent relief, deferral or abatements and tenant defaults on lease obligations, such as repayment of deferred rent may have a negative impact on our rental revenue and net income. As of June 30, 2021, we have executed rent deferrals and abatements in connection with tenant relief from the pandemic.
The Company is closely monitoring changes in the collectibility assessment of its tenant receivables as a result of certain tenants suffering adverse financial consequences due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company is not currently aware of any other loss contingencies related to the COVID-19 pandemic that would require recognition at this time, with the exception of abatements already discussed with tenants or deferred rents that may not be collected.

Bankruptcies
Although our base rentrental revenue is supported by long-term leases, leases may be rejected in a bankruptcy proceeding and the impactedrelated tenant stores may closepermanently vacate prior to lease expiration. In the event that a tenant with a significant number of leases or square footage in our shopping centers files for bankruptcy and rejects its leases with us, we could experience a reduction in our revenues. We monitor the operating performance and rent collections of all tenants in our shopping centers, especially those tenants in arrears or operating retail formats that are experiencing significant changes in competition, business practice, or store closings in other locations. During September 2017, Toys “R” UsGiven the economic environment brought upon by COVID-19, certain tenants experienced liquidity or financial hardships and filed a voluntary petition underfor Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection during the year ended December 31, 2020. Although some of these tenants intend to exit the United States Bankruptcy Code. AsChapter 11 bankruptcy process and resume operations, the outcomes of September 30, 2017,such proceedings are unknown and the Company had leases with Toys “R” Us at nine locations with annualized base rent of $5.0 million. We are unable to estimate the outcome of the bankruptcy proceedings at this time. We are not aware of any additional bankruptcies or announced store closings by any tenants in our shopping centers that would individually cause a material reduction in our revenues.is currently exploring leasing alternatives for these spaces.


Inflation and Economic Condition Considerations
Most of our leases contain provisions designed to partially mitigate the impact of inflation. Although inflation has been low in recent periods and has had a minimal impact on the performance of our shopping centers, there are more recent data suggestingit is very possible that inflation may be a greater concernwill increase in the future given economic conditions and governmental fiscal policy.years. Most of our leases require tenants to pay their share of operating expenses, including common area maintenance, real estate taxes and insurance, thereby reducing our exposure to increases in costs and operating expenses resulting from inflation, although some larger tenants have capped the amount of these operating expenses they are responsible for under the lease. A small number of our leases also include percentage rent clauses enabling us to receive additional rent based on tenant sales above a predetermined level, which sales generally increase as prices rise and are typically related to increases in the Consumer Price Index or similar inflation indices.


Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any material off-balance sheet arrangements as of SeptemberJune 30, 20172021 or December 31, 2016.

ITEM 3.QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

ITEM 3.    QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Interest Rate Risk


We have exposure to fluctuations in interest rates, which are sensitive to many factors that are beyond our control. The following table discusses our exposure to hypothetical changes in market rates of interest on interest expense for our variable rate debt and fixed-rate debt. Interest rate risk amounts were determined by considering the impact of hypothetical interest rates on our debt. This analysis does not take into account all of the factors that may affect our debt, such as the effect that a changing interest rate environment could have on the overall level of economic activity or the action that our management might take to reduce our exposure to the change. This analysis assumes no change in our financial structure. Our exposure to a change in interest rates is summarized in the table below.

We may utilize various financial instruments to mitigate the impact of interest rate fluctuations on our cash flows and earnings, including hedging strategies, depending on our analysis of the interest rate environment and the costs and risks of such strategies. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2021, we did not have any material hedging instruments in place.


Fair Value of Debt


The estimated fair value of our consolidated debt is calculated based on current market prices and discounted cash flows at the current rate at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings for the remaining term of such debt. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2021, the estimated fair value of our consolidated debt was $1.4$1.6 billion.


Other Market Risks


As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2021, we had no material exposure to any other market risks (including foreign currency exchange risk or commodity price risk).


In making this determination and for purposes of the SEC’s market risk disclosure requirements, we have estimated the fair value of our financial instruments at SeptemberJune 30, 20172021 based on pertinent information available to management as of that date. Although management is not aware of any factors that would significantly affect the estimated amounts as of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2021, future estimates of fair value and the amounts which may be paid or realized in the future may differ significantly from amounts presented.
