Looking forward to 2016, we expect continued progress on our efforts to become a dominant pure play multi-tenant retail company, while continuing to deliver solid same store NOI growth and long-term shareholder value.”

2015 INVESTMENT ACTIVITY

In 2015, the Company made substantial progress refining its portfolio with total transaction activity of $979.5 million, consisting of $463.1 million of acquisitions and $516.4 million of dispositions.

Acquisitions

In 2015, the Company completed $463.1 million of acquisitions, on an unencumbered basis, with a weighted average ABR per occupied square foot of $21.54 with annual contractual rent increases of approximately 130 basis points. These acquisitions included eight high quality, multi-tenant retail assets and three strategically adjacent assets located in the Washington, D.C./Baltimore corridor, and the Seattle, Austin, Dallas and Houston Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs), expanding the Company’s multi-tenant retail footprint in these target markets by 1.2 million square feet. These properties possess strong demographic profiles, with weighted average household income of $128,000 and weighted average population of 103,000 within a three-mile radius.

During the quarter, the Company completed the previously announced acquisition of Towson Square through an off-market negotiation for a gross purchase price of $39.7 million. Towson Square is a 138,000 square foot entertainment-based center located in the Washington, D.C./Baltimore corridor. The property is anchored by a newly constructed Cinemark Theatre and includes a variety of national and regional restaurant concepts such as BJ’s Restaurant and Brewhouse, World of Beer, Bobby’s Burger Palace, Bonefish Grill and Nando’s Peri-Peri. Towson Square is a new development that opened in 2014 and is currently 96.6% occupied. The property is adjacent to the Company’s existing center, Towson Circle.

Additionally, the Company acquired an outparcel at one of its neighborhood centers, Royal Oaks Village II located in the Houston MSA, for a gross purchase price of $6.8 million. The building is leased to Trader Joe’s, which is expected to open in the second quarter of 2016.

Dispositions

In 2015, the Company completed $516.4 million of dispositions, which included the sale of 16 non-target multi-tenant retail assets, five of its six remaining office assets, three single-user retail assets and two non-target development assets. The retail assets have weighted average ABR per occupied square foot of $12.38, weighted average household income of $64,000 and weighted average population of 74,000 within a three-mile radius.

ii

During the quarter, the Company completed $111.1 million of dispositions, including the sales of two non-target development assets for $50.8 million, two non-target multi-tenant retail assets for $49.6 million and two single-user retail assets for $10.7 million.

Subsequent to year end, the Company closed on the disposition of The Gateway through a lender-directed sale in full satisfaction of its mortgage obligation of approximately $94.4 million. The mortgage had an interest rate of 6.57%. Immediately prior to the disposition, the lender reduced the Company’s loan obligation to $75.0 million which was assumed by the buyer in connection with the disposition, resulting in an anticipated gain on extinguishment of debt of approximately $13.7 million and an anticipated gain on sale of approximately $3.9 million. In addition, the Company sold a non-target multi-tenant retail asset for $17.5 million.

2016 ACQUISITION ACTIVITY

In 2016, the Company has completed or is under contract to purchase $203.0 million of acquisitions. These assets are located in the greater Washington, D.C./Baltimore area and the New York and Chicago MSAs.

Greater Washington, D.C./Baltimore Area

As previously announced, subsequent to year end, the Company acquired a two-property portfolio consisting of Merrifield Town Center II and Shoppes at Hagerstown, both located in the greater Washington, D.C./Baltimore area. These assets were acquired through an off-market negotiation, on an unencumbered basis, for a combined gross purchase price of $72.7 million.

New York MSA

The Company entered into a purchase agreement to acquire a 92,000 square foot lifestyle center located in the New York MSA for a gross purchase price of $63.1 million. The Company expects to assume approximately $16.1 million of in-place mortgage financing at an interest rate of 3.75%. The property generates inline sales productivity of over $535 per square foot and features a strong demographic profile, with average household income of $125,000 and population of 158,000 within a five-mile radius. The property is 93.1% occupied and leased to an impressive mix of national retail tenants, including Talbots, Chico’s, Banana Republic, bluemercury, Francesca’s Collections, Jos A. Banks, Five Guys Burger and Fries and Panera Bread. This transaction is expected to close during the first quarter of 2016, subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions.

Chicago MSA

The Company entered into a purchase agreement to acquire a 183,000 square foot mixed-use center located in the Chicago MSA, on an unencumbered basis, for a gross purchase price of $67.2 million. The property is comprised of 119,000 square feet of retail space and 64,000 square feet of office space. The property sits in the heart of the retail corridor within a well-populated and affluent area, with average household income of $112,000 and population of 259,000 within a five-mile radius. The property generates inline sales productivity of approximately $475 per square foot and is 88.0% leased to a mix of national and regional retailers, in addition to medical use and service-oriented office tenants. This transaction is expected to close during the first quarter of 2016, subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions.

BALANCE SHEET AND CAPITAL MARKETS ACTIVITY

As of December 31, 2015, the Company had approximately $2.2 billion of consolidated indebtedness, which resulted in a net debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio of 5.8x, or a net debt and preferred stock to adjusted EBITDA ratio of 6.2x, as compared to 5.8x and 6.1x, respectively, as of December 31, 2014. Consolidated indebtedness had a weighted average contractual interest rate of 4.61% and a weighted average maturity of 4.5 years.

▪ In March, completed a public offering of $250.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its 4.00% senior unsecured notes due 2025;

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

As defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT), an industry trade group, Funds From Operations (FFO) means net income (loss) computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of depreciable real estate, plus depreciation and amortization and impairment charges on depreciable real estate, including amounts from continuing and discontinued operations, as well as adjustments for unconsolidated joint ventures in which the reporting entity holds an interest. The Company has adopted the NAREIT definition in its computation of FFO attributable to common shareholders. The Company believes that, subject to the following limitations, FFO attributable to common shareholders provides a basis for comparing its performance and operations to those of other real estate investment trusts (REITs). The Company believes that FFO attributable to common shareholders, which is a non-GAAP performance measure, provides an additional and useful means to assess the operating performance of REITs. FFO attributable to common shareholders does not represent an alternative to “Net Income” or “Net Income Attributable to Common Shareholders” as an indicator of the Company’s performance or “Cash Flows from Operating Activities” as determined by GAAP as a measure of the Company’s capacity to fund cash needs, including the payment of dividends.

The Company also reports Operating FFO attributable to common shareholders, which is defined as FFO attributable to common shareholders excluding the impact of discrete non-operating transactions and other events which the Company does not consider representative of the comparable operating results of the Company’s core business platform, its real estate operating portfolio. Specific examples of discrete non-operating transactions and other events include, but are not limited to, the financial statement impact of gains or losses associated with the early extinguishment of debt or other liabilities, actual or anticipated settlement of litigation involving the Company, executive and realignment separation charges and impairment charges to write down the carrying value of assets other than depreciable real estate, which are otherwise excluded from the Company's calculation of FFO attributable to common shareholders. The Company believes that Operating FFO attributable to common shareholders, which is a non-GAAP performance measure, provides an additional and useful means to assess the operating performance of REITs. Operating FFO attributable to common shareholders does not represent an alternative to “Net Income” or “Net Income Attributable to Common Shareholders” as an indicator of the Company’s performance or “Cash Flows from Operating Activities” as determined by GAAP as a measure of the Company’s capacity to fund cash needs, including the payment of dividends. Further, comparison of the Company’s presentation of Operating FFO attributable to common shareholders to similarly titled measures for other REITs may not necessarily be meaningful due to possible differences in definition and application by such REITs.

The Company also reports NOI and same store NOI. The Company defines NOI as operating revenues (rental income, tenant recovery income and other property income, excluding straight-line rental income, amortization of lease inducements, amortization of acquired above and below market lease intangibles and lease termination fee income) less property operating expenses (real estate tax expense and property operating expense, excluding straight-line ground rent expense, amortization of acquired ground lease intangibles and straight-line bad debt expense). Same Store NOI for the year ended December 31, 2015 represents NOI from the Company’s same store portfolio consisting of 180 operating properties acquired or placed in service and stabilized prior to January 1, 2014. NOI from Other Investment Properties for the year ended December 31, 2015 represents NOI primarily from properties acquired during 2014 and 2015, the Company’s development property, two properties where the Company has begun activities in anticipation of future redevelopment, one property that was impaired below its debt balance during 2014, the properties that were sold or held for sale in 2014 and 2015 that did not qualify for discontinued operations treatment and the historical ground rent expense related to an existing same store investment property that was subject to a ground lease with a third party prior to the Company’s acquisition of the fee interest during the first quarter of 2014. In addition, the financial results reported in Other Investment Properties for the year ended December 31, 2015 include the net income from the Company's wholly-owned captive insurance company, which was formed on December 1, 2014, and the financial results reported in Other Investment Properties for the year ended December 31, 2014 include the historical intercompany expense elimination related to the Company's former insurance captive unconsolidated joint venture investment, in which the Company terminated its participation effective December 1, 2014. For the year ended December 31, 2014, the historical captive insurance expense related to the Company’s portfolio was recorded in equity in loss of unconsolidated joint ventures, net. For the three months ended December 31, 2015, the Company's same store portfolio consists of

vi

187 operating properties inclusive of the same store portfolio for the year ended December 31, 2015 and seven additional operating properties acquired during the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The financial results reported in Other Investment Properties for the three months ended December 31, 2015 are inclusive of the topics described above for the year ended December 31, 2015 excluding the seven investment properties acquired during the nine months ended September 30, 2014. NOI consists of the sum of Same Store NOI and NOI from Other Investment Properties. The Company believes that NOI, Same Store NOI and NOI from Other Investment Properties are useful measures of the Company’s operating performance. Other REITs may use different methodologies for calculating these metrics, and accordingly, the Company’s NOI metrics may not be comparable to other REITs. The Company believes that these metrics provide an operating perspective not immediately apparent from Operating income or Net income attributable to common shareholders as defined within GAAP. The Company uses these metrics to evaluate its performance on a property-by-property basis because these measures allow management to evaluate the impact that factors such as lease structure, lease rates and tenant base, which vary by property, have on the Company’s operating results. However, these measures should only be used as alternative measures of the Company’s financial performance.

Adjusted EBITDA represents net income attributable to common shareholders before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, as further adjusted to eliminate the impact of certain items that the Company does not consider indicative of its ongoing performance. The Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA is useful because it allows investors and management to evaluate and compare its performance from period to period in a meaningful and consistent manner in addition to standard financial measurements under GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income attributable to common shareholders as an indicator of operating performance or any measure of performance derived in accordance with GAAP. The Company’s calculation of Adjusted EBITDA may be different from the calculation used by other companies and, accordingly, comparability may be limited.

Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA represents (i) the Company’s total borrowed debt, excluding unamortized premium, discount and capitalized loan fees, less cash and cash equivalents divided by (ii) Adjusted EBITDA for the prior three months, annualized. The Company believes that this ratio is useful because it provides investors with information regarding total borrowed debt net of cash and cash equivalents, which could be used to repay borrowed debt, compared to the Company’s performance as measured using Adjusted EBITDA.

Net Debt and Preferred Stock to Adjusted EBITDA represents (i) the Company’s total borrowed debt, excluding unamortized premium, discount and capitalized loan fees, plus preferred stock, less cash and cash equivalents divided by (ii) Adjusted EBITDA for the prior three months, annualized. The Company believes that this ratio is useful because it provides investors with information regarding total borrowed debt and preferred stock, net of cash and cash equivalents, which could be used to repay borrowed debt, compared to the Company’s performance as measured using Adjusted EBITDA.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Definitions

Occupancy

Occupancy is defined, for a property or group of properties, as the ratio, expressed as a percentage, of (a) the number of square feet of such property economically occupied by tenants under leases with an initial term of greater than one year, to (b) the aggregate number of square feet for such property.

Percent Leased Including Signed

Percent Leased Including Signed is defined, for a property or group of properties, as the ratio, expressed as a percentage, of (a) the sum of occupied square feet (pursuant to the definition above) of such property and vacant square feet for which a lease with an initial term of greater than one year has been signed, but rent has not yet commenced, to (b) the aggregate number of square feet for such property.

Funds From Operations (FFO) Attributable to Common Shareholders

As defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT), an industry trade group, Funds From Operations (FFO) means net income (loss) computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of depreciable real estate, plus depreciation and amortization and impairment charges on depreciable real estate, including amounts from continuing and discontinued operations, as well as adjustments for unconsolidated joint ventures in which we hold an interest. We have adopted the NAREIT definition in our computation of FFO attributable to common shareholders. Management believes that, subject to the following limitations, FFO attributable to common shareholders provides a basis for comparing our performance and operations to those of other real estate investment trusts (REITs). We believe that FFO attributable to common shareholders, which is a non-GAAP performance measure, provides an additional and useful means to assess the operating performance of REITs. FFO attributable to common shareholders does not represent an alternative to "Net income" or "Net income attributable to common shareholders" as an indicator of our performance or "Cash Flows from Operating Activities" as determined by GAAP as a measure of our capacity to fund cash needs, including the payment of dividends.

Operating FFO Attributable to Common Shareholders

Operating FFO attributable to common shareholders is defined as FFO attributable to common shareholders excluding the impact of discrete non-operating transactions and other events which we do not consider representative of the comparable operating results of our core business platform, our real estate operating portfolio. Specific examples of discrete non-operating transactions and other events include, but are not limited to, the financial statement impact of gains or losses associated with the early extinguishment of debt or other liabilities, actual or anticipated settlement of litigation involving the Company, executive and realignment separation charges and impairment charges to write down the carrying value of assets other than depreciable real estate, which are otherwise excluded from our calculation of FFO attributable to common shareholders. We believe that Operating FFO attributable to common shareholders, which is a non-GAAP performance measure, provides an additional and useful means to assess the operating performance of REITS. Operating FFO attributable to common shareholders does not represent an alternative to "Net Income" or "Net income attributable to common shareholders" as an indicator of our performance or "Cash Flows from Operating Activities" as determined by GAAP as a measure of our capacity to fund cash needs, including the payment of dividends. Further, comparison of our presentation of Operating FFO attributable to common shareholders to similarly titled measures for other REITs may not necessarily be meaningful due to possible differences in definition and application by such REITs. 

Net Operating Income (NOI)

We define Net Operating Income (NOI) as operating revenues (rental income, tenant recovery income and other property income, excluding straight-line rental income, amortization of lease inducements, amortization of acquired above and below market lease intangibles and lease termination fee income) less property operating expenses (real estate tax expense and property operating expense, excluding straight-line ground rent expense, amortization of acquired ground lease intangibles and straight-line bad debt expense). We believe that NOI is a useful measure of our operating performance. Other REITs may use different methodologies for calculating NOI, and accordingly, our NOI may not be comparable to other REITs. We believe that NOI provides an operating perspective not immediately apparent from GAAP operating income or net income attributable to common shareholders. We use NOI to evaluate our performance on a property-by-property basis because this measure allows management to evaluate the impact that factors such as lease structure, lease rates and tenant base, which vary by property, have on our operating results. However, this measure should only be used as an alternative measure of our financial performance.

Same Store NOI and NOI from Other Investment Properties

Same Store NOI for the year ended December 31, 2015 represents NOI from our same store portfolio consisting of 180 operating properties acquired or placed in service and stabilized prior to January 1, 2014. NOI from Other Investment Properties for the year ended December 31, 2015 represents NOI primarily from properties acquired during 2014 and 2015, our development property, two properties where we have begun activities in anticipation of future redevelopment, one property that was impaired below its debt balance during 2014, the properties that were sold or held for sale in 2014 and 2015 that did not qualify for discontinued operations treatment and the historical ground rent expense related to an existing same store investment property that was subject to a ground lease with a third party prior to our acquisition of the fee interest during the first quarter of 2014. In addition, the financial results reported in "Other investment properties" for the year ended December 31, 2015 include the net income from our wholly-owned captive insurance company, which was formed on December 1, 2014, and the financial results reported in "Other investment properties" for the year ended December 31, 2014 include the historical intercompany expense elimination related to our former insurance captive unconsolidated joint venture investment, in which we terminated our participation effective December 1, 2014. For the year ended December 31, 2014, the historical captive insurance expense related to our portfolio was recorded in equity in loss of unconsolidated joint ventures, net. For the three months ended December 31, 2015, our same store portfolio consists of 187 operating properties inclusive of the same store portfolio for the year ended December 31, 2015 and seven additional operating properties acquired during the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

4th Quarter 2015 Supplemental Information 17

Retail Properties of America, Inc.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Definitions (continued)

Same Store NOI and NOI from Other Investment Properties (continued)

The financial results reported in "Other investment properties" for the three months ended December 31, 2015 are inclusive of the topics described above for the year ended December 31, 2015 excluding the seven investment properties acquired during the nine months ended September 30, 2014. NOI consists of the sum of Same Store NOI and NOI from Other Investment Properties.

We believe that Same Store NOI and NOI from Other Investment Properties are useful measures of our operating performance. Other REITs may use different methodologies for calculating these metrics, and accordingly, our NOI metrics may not be comparable to other REITs. We believe that these metrics provide an operating perspective not immediately apparent from "Operating income" or "Net income attributable to common shareholders" as defined within GAAP. We use these metrics to evaluate our performance on a property-by-property basis because these measures allow management to evaluate the impact that factors such as lease structure, lease rates and tenant base, which vary by property, have on our operating results. However, these measures should only be used as alternative measures of our financial performance.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA represents net income attributable to common shareholders before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, as further adjusted to eliminate the impact of certain items that we do not consider indicative of our ongoing performance. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is useful because it allows investors and management to evaluate and compare our performance from period to period in a meaningful and consistent manner in addition to standard financial measurements under GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to "Net income attributable to common shareholders" as an indicator of operating performance or any measure of performance derived in accordance with GAAP. Our calculations of Adjusted EBITDA may be different from the calculation used by other companies and, accordingly, comparability may be limited.

Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA

Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA represents (i) our total borrowed debt, excluding unamortized premium, discount and capitalized loan fees, less cash and cash equivalents divided by (ii) Adjusted EBITDA for the prior three months, annualized. We believe that this ratio is useful because it provides investors with information regarding total borrowed debt net of cash and cash equivalents, which could be used to repay borrowed debt, compared to our performance as measured using Adjusted EBITDA.

Net Debt and Preferred Stock to Adjusted EBITDA

Net Debt and Preferred Stock to Adjusted EBITDA represents (i) our total borrowed debt, excluding unamortized premium, discount and capitalized loan fees, plus preferred stock, less cash and cash equivalents divided by (ii) Adjusted EBITDA for the prior three months, annualized. We believe that this ratio is useful because it provides investors with information regarding total borrowed debt and preferred stock, net of cash and cash equivalents, which could be used to repay borrowed debt, compared to our performance as measured using Adjusted EBITDA.
