Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Readers of this Quarterly Report should refer to the audited financial statements of Retail Properties of America, Inc. for the year ended December 31, 2018, which are included in its 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as certain footnote disclosures which would substantially duplicate those contained in the Annual Report have been omitted from this Quarterly Report. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary, all of which were of normal recurring nature, for a fair presentation have been included in this Quarterly Report.
(1) ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Retail Properties of America, Inc. (the Company) was formed on March 5, 2003 and its primary purpose is to own and operate high quality, strategically located open-air shopping centers, including properties with a mixed-use component. As of September 30, 2019, the Company owned 104 retail operating properties in the United States.
The Company has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (REIT) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code). The Company believes it qualifies for taxation as a REIT and, as such, the Company generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on taxable income that is distributed to its shareholders. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, the Company will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on its taxable income. Even if the Company qualifies for taxation as a REIT, the Company may be subject to certain state and local taxes on its income, property or net worth and U.S. federal income and excise taxes on its undistributed income. The Company has 1 wholly-owned subsidiary that has jointly elected to be treated as a taxable REIT subsidiary (TRS) and is subject to U.S. federal, state and local income taxes at regular corporate tax rates. The income tax expense incurred by the TRS did not have a material impact on the Company’s accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. For example, significant estimates and assumptions have been made with respect to capitalization of development costs, provision for impairment, including estimates of holding periods, capitalization rates and discount rates (where applicable), and initial valuations and related amortization periods of deferred costs and intangibles, particularly with respect to property acquisitions and initial recognition of right-of-use lease assets and lease liabilities. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 205, Presentation of Financial Statements, certain prior year balances have been reclassified in order to conform to the current period presentation. Specifically, all lease-related revenues have been presented in a single line item, “Lease income,” rather than the previous presentation which separated revenues between “Rental income,” “Tenant recovery income” and “Other property income” in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive (loss) income.
All share amounts and dollar amounts in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, are stated in thousands with the exception of per share, per square foot and per unit amounts.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, as well as all wholly-owned subsidiaries and consolidated variable interest entities (VIEs). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Wholly-owned subsidiaries generally consist of limited liability companies, limited partnerships and statutory trusts.

(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Refer to the Company’s 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K for a summary of its significant accounting policies. Except as disclosed below, there have been no changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies in the nine months ended September 30, 2019.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
Effective January 1, 2019, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-02, Leases. This new guidance, including related ASUs that were subsequently issued, requires lessees to recognize a liability to make lease payments and a right-of-use lease (ROU) asset, initially measured at the present value of lease payments, for both operating and financing leases. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, lessees are permitted to make an accounting policy election, by class of underlying asset, to not recognize lease liabilities and lease assets. The guidance allows lessees and lessors to make an accounting policy election, by class of underlying asset, to not separate non-lease components from lease components. The guidance also provides an optional transition method which would allow entities to initially apply the new guidance in the period of adoption, recognizing a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings, if necessary, and provides a package of three practical expedients whereby companies are not required to reassess (i) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, (ii) the lease classification (operating vs. capital/financing leases) for any expired or existing leases and (iii) initial direct costs for any existing leases (Package of Three Practical Expedients), as well as practical expedients whereby companies are not required to reassess whether land easements contain a lease and can use hindsight in determining the lease term and assessing impairment of the ROU asset. The guidance requires changes in collectibility of operating lease receivables to be presented as an adjustment to revenue rather than the previous presentation within “Operating expenses” on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive (loss) income. Finally, only incremental direct leasing costs may be capitalized under the new guidance, which is consistent with the Company’s previous policies.
The Company adopted this new guidance on January 1, 2019, applied the requirements as of that date, made an accounting policy election to not separate non-lease components from lease components for all classes of assets, elected the Package of Three Practical Expedients as well as the practical expedient related to not reassessing whether land easements contain a lease. The Company did not elect the practical expedient related to hindsight for determining the lease term or assessing impairment of ROU assets. There was no retained earnings adjustment as a result of the adoption. The guidance regarding capitalization of leasing costs did not have any effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
Upon adoption, the Company recognized lease liabilities and ROU assets of $103,432 for operating leases where it is the lessee related to long-term ground leases and office leases, which are presented as “Right-of-use lease assets” and “Lease liabilities” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The ROU assets are presented net of the Company’s existing straight-line ground rent liabilities of $31,030 and acquired ground lease intangible liability of $11,898 as of January 1, 2019. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, the Company made an accounting policy election to not recognize lease liabilities and lease assets.
For leases where the Company is the lessor, as noted above, the Company made an accounting policy election to not separate non-lease components from lease components for all classes of assets and has presented all lease-related revenues in a single line item, “Lease income,” rather than the previous presentation which separated revenues between “Rental income,” “Tenant recovery income” and “Other property income” in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive (loss) income for the current and comparative period. This resulted in the reclassification of (i) $90,975 and $278,076 of revenue previously presented as “Rental income,” (ii) $26,817 and $80,090 of revenue previously presented as “Tenant recovery income” and (iii)

(Unaudited)
$1,345 and $4,977 of revenue previously presented as “Other property income” for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, into “Lease income” in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive (loss) income. In addition, the Company began recording changes in collectibility of operating lease receivables as an adjustment to “Lease income” in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive (loss) income. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, changes in collectibility of operating lease receivables are presented within “Operating expenses” in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive (loss) income.
Effective January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU 2018-16, Derivatives and Hedging, due to the Company’s early adoption of ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging. This new guidance permits use of the Overnight Index Swap (OIS) Rate based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) as a U.S. benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting purposes. SOFR represents the fifth permissible U.S. benchmark rate in addition to the following current eligible benchmark interest rates: (i) direct Treasury obligations of the U.S. government (UST), (ii) the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) swap rate, (iii) the OIS Rate based on the Fed Funds Effective Rate and (iv) the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association (SIFMA) Municipal Swap Rate. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have any effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as the Company did not change its benchmark rate.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses. This new guidance is effective January 1, 2020, with early adoption permitted beginning January 1, 2019, and replaces the current incurred loss impairment methodology with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses. Financial assets that are measured at amortized cost will be required to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected with an allowance for credit losses deducted from the amortized cost basis. In addition, an entity must consider broader information in developing its expected credit loss estimate, including the use of forecasted information. In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, which clarifies that receivables arising from operating leases are not within the scope of this new guidance. Generally, the pronouncement requires a modified retrospective method of adoption. The Company does not expect the adoption of this pronouncement will have a material effect on its condensed consolidated financial statements; however, it will continue to evaluate this assessment until the guidance becomes effective.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement. This new guidance is effective January 1, 2020, with early adoption permitted, and provides new, and in some cases eliminates or modifies the existing disclosure requirements on fair value measurements. Public entities will now be required to disclose the following: (i) the changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in other comprehensive income for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements held at the end of the reporting period and (ii) the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. In addition, public entities will no longer be required to disclose the following: (i) the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, (ii) the policy for timing of transfers between levels and (iii) the valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements. The new pronouncement also clarifies and modifies certain existing provisions to promote the appropriate exercise of discretion by entities when considering fair value measurement disclosures and clarifies that materiality is an appropriate consideration when evaluating disclosure requirements. As permitted by the new pronouncement, the Company removed the discussion of its valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements. No other disclosures were removed as the Company did not have any transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy during the current and comparative periods. The Company expects to adopt the new disclosures on a prospective basis as of January 1, 2020.

Under terms defined in the joint venture agreements, after construction completion and stabilization of the respective development project, the Company has the ability to call, and the joint venture partner has the ability to put to the Company, subject to certain conditions, the joint venture partner’s interest in the respective joint venture at fair value. The Company has not provided financial support to these VIEs in excess of any amounts that it is contractually required to provide. There was

(6) LEASES
Leases as Lessor
The majority of revenues from the Company’s properties consist of rents received under long-term operating leases, predominantly consisting of base rent. Also, certain leases provide for percentage rent based primarily on tenant sales volume.
Also, most leases provide for reimbursement of the tenant’s pro rata share of certain operating expenses incurred by the landlord, including, among others, real estate taxes, insurance, utilities, common area maintenance and management fees, subject to the terms of the respective lease. Certain other tenants are subject to net leases where the tenant is responsible for paying base rent to the Company but is directly responsible for other costs associated with occupancy, such as real estate taxes. Expenses paid directly by the tenant rather than the landlord are not included in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive (loss) income. Expenses paid by the landlord, subject to reimbursement by the tenant, are included within “Operating expenses” or “Real estate taxes” and reimbursements are included within “Lease income” along with the associated base rent in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive (loss) income.
The Company made an accounting policy election to not separate non-lease components (primarily reimbursement of common area maintenance costs) from the related lease components and has applied the guidance of ASC 842, Leases, to the combined component as (i) the fixed non-lease components have the same timing and pattern of transfer as the associated lease component, (ii) the lease component, if accounted for separately, would be classified as an operating lease and (iii) the Company considers the lease component to be the predominant component of the combined contract.
In addition, the Company records lease termination fee income when (i) a termination letter agreement is signed, (ii) all of the conditions of such agreement have been fulfilled, (iii) the tenant is no longer occupying the property and (iv) collectibility is reasonably assured. Upon early lease termination, the Company provides for losses related to recognized tenant specific intangibles and other assets or adjusts the remaining useful life of the assets if determined to be appropriate. The Company recorded lease termination fee income of $331 and $1,751 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, and $196 and $1,423 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, which is included within “Lease income” in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive (loss) income.
In certain municipalities, the Company is required to remit sales taxes to governmental authorities based upon the rental income received from properties in those regions. These taxes are reimbursed by the tenant to the Company in accordance with the terms of the applicable tenant lease. The presentation of the remittance and reimbursement of these taxes is on a gross basis with sales tax expenses included within “Operating expenses” and sales tax reimbursements included within “Lease income” in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive (loss) income. Such taxes remitted to governmental authorities, which are generally reimbursed by tenants, were $155 and $454 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, and $122 and $398 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively.
Lease income related to the Company’s operating leases is comprised of the following:

The remaining lease terms range from less than one year to approximately 64 years as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.
Many of the leases at the Company’s properties contain provisions that condition a tenant’s obligation to remain open, the amount of rent payable by the tenant or potentially the tenant’s obligation to remain in the lease, upon certain factors, including: (i) the presence and continued operation of a certain anchor tenant or tenants, (ii) minimum occupancy levels at the applicable property or (iii) tenant sales amounts. If such a provision is triggered by a failure of any of these or other applicable conditions, a tenant could have the right to cease operations at the applicable property, have its rent reduced or terminate its lease early. The Company does not expect that such provisions will have a material impact on its future operating results.
The Company capitalized internal salaries and related benefits of personnel directly involved in capital upgrades and tenant improvements of $679 and $2,004 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, and $514 and $1,271 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. The Company also capitalized internal leasing incentives of $111 and $247 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, and $71 and $241 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, all of which were incremental to signed leases.
Leases as Lessee
The Company leases land under non-cancellable operating leases at certain of its properties expiring in various years from 2035 to 2073, exclusive of any available option periods. In addition, the Company leases office space for certain management offices and its corporate offices expiring in various years from 2019 to 2023, exclusive of any available option periods.
Upon adoption of the new lease accounting standard (ASU 2016-02 and related amendments) on January 1, 2019, the Company recorded lease liabilities and ROU assets of $103,432 for long-term ground and office leases where it is the lessee, calculated by discounting future lease payments by the Company’s incremental borrowing rate as of January 1, 2019. The incremental borrowing rate was determined through consideration of (i) the Company’s entity-specific risk premium, (ii) observable market interest rates and (iii) lease term. The weighted average incremental borrowing rate used to discount the future payments was 5.91% and the Company’s operating leases had a weighted average remaining lease term of 44 years as of January 1, 2019. The Company did not include option terms in its future lease payments as they were not reasonably certain to be exercised. The Company’s existing

Unsecured Credit Facility
On April 23, 2018, the Company entered into its fifth amended and restated unsecured credit agreement (Unsecured Credit Agreement) with a syndicate of financial institutions led by Wells Fargo Bank, National Association serving as syndication agent and KeyBank National Association serving as administrative agent to provide for an unsecured credit facility aggregating $1,100,000 (Unsecured Credit Facility). The Unsecured Credit Facility consists of an $850,000 unsecured revolving line of credit and a $250,000 unsecured term loan and is priced on a leverage grid at a rate of LIBOR plus a credit spread. In accordance with the Unsecured Credit Agreement, the Company may elect to convert to an investment grade pricing grid. As of September 30, 2019, making such an election would have resulted in a higher interest rate and, as such, the Company has not made the election to convert to an investment grade pricing grid.
The following table summarizes the key terms of the Unsecured Credit Facility:
|
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | Leverage-Based Pricing | | Investment Grade Pricing |

The Unsecured Credit Facility has a $500,000 accordion option that allows the Company, at its election, to increase the total Unsecured Credit Facility up to $1,600,000, subject to (i) customary fees and conditions including, but not limited to, the absence of an event of default as defined in the Unsecured Credit Agreement and (ii) the Company’s ability to obtain additional lender commitments.

On January 3, 2017, the Company received funding on a seven-year $200,000 unsecured term loan (Term Loan Due 2023) with a group of financial institutions, which closed during the year ended December 31, 2016 and was amended on November 20, 2018. The Term Loan Due 2023 is priced on a leverage grid at a rate of LIBOR plus a credit spread. In accordance with the amended term loan agreement (Amended Term Loan Agreement), the Company may elect to convert to an investment grade pricing grid. As of September 30, 2019, making such an election would have resulted in a higher interest rate and, as such, the Company has not made the election to convert to an investment grade pricing grid.
On July 17, 2019, the Company entered into a term loan agreement (2019 Term Loan Agreement) with a group of financial institutions for a five-year $120,000 unsecured term loan (Term Loan Due 2024) and a seven-year $150,000 unsecured term loan (Term Loan Due 2026). The Term Loan Due 2024 and Term Loan Due 2026 bear interest at a rate of LIBOR, adjusted based on applicable reserve percentages established by the Federal Reserve, plus a credit spread based on a leverage grid. In accordance with the 2019 Term Loan Agreement, the Company may elect to convert to an investment grade pricing grid. As of September 30, 2019, making such an election would have resulted in a higher interest rate and, as such, the Company has not made the election to convert to an investment grade pricing grid. The proceeds were used to repay outstanding indebtedness and for general corporate purposes.
The following table summarizes the key terms of the unsecured term loans:
|
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Unsecured Term Loans | | Maturity Date | | Leverage-Based Pricing Credit Spread | | Investment Grade Pricing Credit Spread |
$200,000 unsecured term loan due 2023 | | 11/22/2023 | | 1.20 | % | – | 1.85% | | 0.85 | % | – | 1.65% |
$120,000 unsecured term loan due 2024 | | 7/17/2024 | | 1.20 | % | – | 1.70% | | 0.80 | % | – | 1.65% |
$150,000 unsecured term loan due 2026 | | 7/17/2026 | | 1.50 | % | – | 2.20% | | 1.35 | % | – | 2.25% |
The Term Loan Due 2023 has a $100,000 accordion option that allows the Company, at its election, to increase the Term Loan Due 2023 up to $300,000, subject to (i) customary fees and conditions, including the absence of an event of default as defined in the Amended Term Loan Agreement and (ii) the Company’s ability to obtain additional lender commitments.
The Term Loan Due 2024 has a $130,000 accordion option and the Term Loan Due 2026 has a $100,000 accordion option that, collectively, allow the Company, at its election, to increase the total of the Term Loan Due 2024 and Term Loan Due 2026 up to $500,000, subject to (i) customary fees and conditions, including the absence of an event of default as defined in the 2019 Term Loan Agreement and (ii) the Company’s ability to obtain additional lender commitments.

(8) DERIVATIVES
The Company’s objective in using interest rate derivatives is to manage its exposure to interest rate movements and add stability to interest expense. To accomplish this objective, the Company uses interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed rate payments over the life of the agreement without exchange of the underlying notional amount.
As of September 30, 2019, the Company used 11 interest rate swaps to hedge the variable cash flows associated with variable rate debt. Changes in fair value of the derivatives that are designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges are recorded in “Accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income” and are reclassified into interest expense as interest payments are made on the Company’s variable rate debt. Over the next 12 months, the Company estimates that an additional $3,555 will be reclassified as an increase to interest expense.
The following table summarizes the Company’s interest rate swaps as of September 30, 2019, which effectively convert one-month floating rate LIBOR to a fixed rate:

(9) EQUITY
The Company has an existing common stock repurchase program under which it may repurchase, from time to time, up to a maximum of $500,000 of shares of its Class A common stock. The shares may be repurchased in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions and are canceled upon repurchase. The timing and actual number of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors, including price in absolute terms and in relation to the value of the Company’s assets, corporate and regulatory requirements, market conditions and other corporate liquidity requirements and priorities. The common stock repurchase program may be suspended or terminated at any time without prior notice. The Company did not repurchase any shares during the nine months ended September 30, 2019. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company repurchased 2,567 shares at an average price per share of $12.13 for a total of $31,194. As of September 30, 2019, $189,105 remained available for repurchases of shares of the Company’s common stock under its common stock repurchase program.

Derivatives: The fair value of the derivative asset and derivative liability is determined using a discounted cash flow analysis on the expected future cash flows of each derivative. This analysis uses observable market data including forward yield curves and implied volatilities to determine the market’s expectation of the future cash flows of the variable component. The fixed and variable components of the derivative are then discounted using calculated discount factors developed based on the LIBOR swap rate and are aggregated to arrive at a single valuation for the period. The Company also incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both its own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. Although the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with its derivatives use Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by itself and its counterparties. However, as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company has assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions and has determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation. As a result, the Company has determined that its derivative valuations in their entirety are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. In adjusting the fair value of its derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, the Company has considered any applicable credit enhancements. The Company’s derivative instruments are further described in Note 8 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

(a) | Represents the fair value of the Company’s Streets of Yorktown investment property. The estimated fair value of Streets of Yorktown was determined using the income approach. The income approach involves discounting the estimated income stream and reversion (presumed sale) value of a property over an estimated holding period to a present value at a risk-adjusted rate. The discount rates and third-party comparable sales prices used in this approach are derived from property-specific information, market transactions and other industry data and are considered significant inputs to this valuation. The reversion value of the property was based upon third-party comparable sales prices, which contain unobservable inputs used by these third parties. A weighted average discount rate of 6.89% was used to (i) present value the estimated income stream over the estimated holding period and (ii) present value the reversion value. |

The Company estimates the fair value of its Level 3 financial liabilities using a discounted cash flow model that incorporates future contractual principal and interest payments. The Company estimates the fair value of its mortgages payable, net and Level 3 unsecured notes payable, net by discounting the anticipated future cash flows of each instrument at rates currently offered to the Company by its lenders for similar debt instruments of comparable maturities. The Company estimates the fair value of its unsecured term loans, net and unsecured revolving line of credit by discounting the anticipated future cash flows at a reference rate, currently one-month LIBOR, plus an applicable credit spread currently offered to the Company by its lenders for similar instruments of comparable maturities. The following rates were used in the discounted cash flow model to calculate the fair value of the Company’s Level 3 financial liabilities:
|
| | | |
| September 30, 2019 | | December 31, 2018 |
Mortgages payable, net – range of discount rates used | 3.4% to 3.7% | | 4.2% to 4.4% |

Net (loss) income attributable to common shareholders decreased $40,987 from $12,834 for the three months ended September 30, 2018 to $(28,153) for the three months ended September 30, 2019 primarily as a result of the following:
| |
• | a $24,291 increase in depreciation and amortization primarily due to the write-off of assets taken out of service due to the demolition of existing structures at our Carillon redevelopment during the three months ended September 30, 2019. No such write-off occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2018; |
| |
• | an $11,177 increase in provision for impairment of investment properties. Based on the results of our evaluations for impairment (see Notes 11 and 12 to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements), we recognized an impairment charge of $11,177 during the three months ended September 30, 2019. No impairment charges were recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2018; and |
| |
• | a $3,748 increase in interest expense primarily consisting of: |
| |
• | a $3,334 increase in prepayment penalties; |
| |
• | a $1,897 increase in interest on our Term Loan Due 2024 and Term Loan Due 2026, which were entered into in July 2019; and |
| |
• | a $1,205 increase in interest on our 4.82% senior unsecured notes due 2029 which were issued in June 2019; |
partially offset by
| |
• | a $1,910 decrease in interest on mortgages payable due to a reduction in mortgage debt; and |
| |
• | a $929 decrease in interest on our unsecured revolving line of credit due to lower average outstanding balances. |
Net operating income (NOI)
We define NOI as all revenues other than (i) straight-line rental income (non-cash), (ii) amortization of lease inducements, (iii) amortization of acquired above and below market lease intangibles and (iv) lease termination fee income, less real estate taxes and all operating expenses other than lease termination fee expense and non-cash ground rent expense, which is comprised of straight-line ground rent expense and amortization of acquired ground lease intangibles for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and amortization of right-of-use lease assets and amortization of lease liabilities for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019. NOI consists of same store NOI (Same Store NOI) and NOI from other investment properties (NOI from Other Investment Properties). We believe that NOI, Same Store NOI and NOI from Other Investment Properties, which are supplemental non-GAAP financial measures, provide an additional and useful operating perspective not immediately apparent from “Net income” or “Net income attributable to common shareholders” in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). We use these measures to evaluate our performance on a property-by-property basis because they allow management to evaluate the impact that factors such as lease structure, lease rates and tenant base have on our operating results. NOI, Same Store NOI and NOI from Other Investment Properties do not represent alternatives to “Net income” or “Net income attributable to common shareholders” in accordance with GAAP as indicators of our financial performance. Comparison of our presentation of NOI, Same Store NOI and NOI from Other Investment Properties to similarly titled measures for other REITs may not necessarily be meaningful due to possible differences in definition and application by such REITs. For reference and as an aid in understanding our computation of NOI, a reconciliation of net income attributable to common shareholders as computed in accordance with GAAP to Same Store NOI has been presented for each comparable period presented.
Same store portfolio
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, our same store portfolio consisted of 102 retail operating properties acquired or placed in service and stabilized prior to January 1, 2018. The number of properties in our same store portfolio did not change as of September 30, 2019 from 102 as of June 30, 2019.
The properties and financial results reported in “Other investment properties” primarily include the following:
| |
• | properties acquired during 2018 and 2019; |
| |
• | Reisterstown Road Plaza, which was reclassified from active redevelopment into our retail operating portfolio during 2018; |
| |
• | the multi-family rental units at Plaza del Lago, a redevelopment project that was placed in service during the three months ended September 30, 2019; |
| |
• | Circle East, which is in active redevelopment; |
| |
• | One Loudoun Downtown – Pads G & H, which are in active redevelopment; |
| |
• | Carillon, which is in active redevelopment; |
| |
• | properties that were sold or held for sale in 2018 and 2019; and |
| |
• | the net income from our wholly-owned captive insurance company. |

Funds From Operations Attributable to Common Shareholders
The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, an industry trade group, has promulgated a financial measure known as funds from operations (FFO). In December 2018, NAREIT issued “NAREIT Funds From Operations White Paper – 2018 Restatement” (2018 FFO White Paper) to incorporate interpretive guidance and clarifications made by NAREIT subsequent to their previous FFO White Paper, which was issued in April 2002. The 2018 FFO White Paper was effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods therein.
As defined by NAREIT, FFO means net income computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding (i) depreciation and amortization related to real estate, (ii) gains from sales of real estate assets, (iii) gains and losses from change in control and (iv) impairment write-downs of real estate assets and investments in entities directly attributable to decreases in the value of real estate held by the entity. 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 REITs.
The 2018 FFO White Paper did not change the fundamental definition of FFO; however, it provided clarification and that, to the extent a REIT recognizes a gain on sale or impairment related to assets incidental to the main business of a REIT, the REIT has the option to include or exclude such gains or impairments in the calculation of FFO. In connection with the adoption of the 2018 FFO White Paper, we elected to exclude all gains on sale and impairments of real estate from FFO, whereas we previously only excluded gains on sale and impairments of depreciable investment properties. To be consistent with the current presentation, we
restated FFO attributable to common shareholders for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 to exclude the gain on sale of non-depreciable investment property of $1,285 and $3,464, respectively, which was previously included within FFO attributable to common shareholders but excluded from Operating FFO attributable to common shareholders.
We define Operating FFO attributable to common shareholders 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 real estate operating portfolio, which is our core business platform. Specific examples of discrete non-operating transactions and other events include, but are not limited to, the impact on earnings from gains or losses associated with the early extinguishment of debt or other liabilities, litigation involving the Company, the impact on earnings from executive separation and the excess of redemption value over carrying value of preferred stock redemption, which are not otherwise adjusted in our calculation of FFO attributable to common shareholders. There was no change to previously reported Operating FFO attributable to common shareholders for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, because gains on sale and impairments of non-depreciable investment property have been, and continue to be, excluded from our calculation of Operating FFO attributable to common shareholders.
We believe that FFO attributable to common shareholders and Operating FFO attributable to common shareholders, which are supplemental non-GAAP financial measures, provide an additional and useful means to assess the operating performance of REITs. FFO attributable to common shareholders and Operating FFO attributable to common shareholders do not represent alternatives to (i) “Net Income” or “Net income attributable to common shareholders” as indicators of our financial performance, or (ii) “Cash flows from operating activities” in accordance with GAAP as measures of our capacity to fund cash needs, including the payment of dividends. 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.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
We anticipate that cash flows from the below-listed sources will provide adequate capital for the next 12 months and beyond for all scheduled principal and interest payments on our outstanding indebtedness, including maturing debt, current and anticipated tenant allowances or other capital obligations, the shareholder distributions required to maintain our REIT status and compliance with the financial covenants of our unsecured debt agreements.
Our primary expected sources and uses of liquidity are as follows:
|
| | | |
| SOURCES | | USES |
▪ | Operating cash flow | ▪ | Tenant allowances and leasing costs |
▪ | Cash and cash equivalents | ▪ | Improvements made to individual properties, certain of which are not |
▪ | Available borrowings under our unsecured revolving | | recoverable through common area maintenance charges to tenants |
| line of credit | ▪ | Debt repayments |
▪ | Proceeds from capital markets transactions | ▪ | Distribution payments |
▪ | Proceeds from asset dispositions | ▪ | Redevelopment, expansion and pad development activities |
▪ | Proceeds from the sales of air rights | ▪ | Acquisitions |
| | ▪ | New development |
| | ▪ | Repurchases of our common stock |
We have made substantial progress over the last several years in strengthening our balance sheet, as demonstrated by our reduced leverage, improved financial flexibility and higher unencumbered asset ratio. We have funded debt maturities primarily through asset dispositions and capital markets transactions, including the public offering of our common stock and private and public offerings of senior unsecured notes. As of September 30, 2019, we had no scheduled debt maturities and $613 of principal amortization due through the end of 2019, which we plan on satisfying through a combination of cash flows from operations, working capital and our unsecured revolving line of credit.

Unsecured Notes Payable
Notes Due 2029
On June 28, 2019, we issued $100,000 of 10-year 4.82% senior unsecured notes due 2029 (Notes Due 2029) in a private placement transaction pursuant to a note purchase agreement we entered into with certain institutional investors on April 5, 2019. The proceeds were used to repay borrowings on our unsecured revolving line of credit.
The note purchase agreement governing the Notes Due 2029 contains customary representations, warranties and covenants, and events of default. Pursuant to the terms of such note purchase agreement, we are subject to various financial covenants, which include the following: (i) maximum unencumbered, secured and consolidated leverage ratios; (ii) a minimum interest coverage ratio; (iii) a minimum unencumbered interest coverage ratio (as set forth in our unsecured credit facility and the note purchase agreements governing the Notes Due 2021 and 2024 and the Notes Due 2026 and 2028 defined below); and (iv) a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio (as set forth in our unsecured credit facility).
Unsecured Term Loans and Revolving Line of Credit
Unsecured Credit Facility
On April 23, 2018, we entered into our fifth amended and restated unsecured credit agreement (Unsecured Credit Agreement) with a syndicate of financial institutions led by Wells Fargo Bank, National Association serving as syndication agent and KeyBank National Association serving as administrative agent to provide for an unsecured credit facility aggregating $1,100,000 (Unsecured Credit Facility). The Unsecured Credit Facility consists of an $850,000 unsecured revolving line of credit and a $250,000 unsecured term loan and is priced on a leverage grid at a rate of LIBOR plus a credit spread. In accordance with the Unsecured Credit Agreement, we may elect to convert to an investment grade pricing grid. As of September 30, 2019, making such an election would have resulted in a higher interest rate and, as such, we have not made the election to convert to an investment grade pricing grid.
The following table summarizes the key terms of the Unsecured Credit Facility:
|
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | Leverage-Based Pricing | | Investment Grade Pricing |
Unsecured Credit Facility | | Maturity Date | | Extension Option | | Extension Fee | | Credit Spread | Facility Fee | | Credit Spread | Facility Fee |
$250,000 unsecured term loan due 2021 | | 1/5/2021 | | N/A | | N/A | | 1.20% - 1.70% | N/A | | 0.90% - 1.75% | N/A |
$850,000 unsecured revolving line of credit | | 4/22/2022 | | 2-six month | | 0.075% | | 1.05% - 1.50% | 0.15% - 0.30% | | 0.825%-1.55% | 0.125% - 0.30% |
The Unsecured Credit Facility has a $500,000 accordion option that allows us, at our election, to increase the total Unsecured Credit Facility up to $1,600,000, subject to (i) customary fees and conditions including, but not limited to, the absence of an event of default as defined in the Unsecured Credit Agreement and (ii) our ability to obtain additional lender commitments.
As of September 30, 2019, we had letters of credit outstanding totaling $433 that serve as collateral for certain capital improvements at two of our properties and reduce the available borrowings on our unsecured revolving line of credit.
Unsecured Term Loans
On January 3, 2017, we received funding on a seven-year $200,000 unsecured term loan (Term Loan Due 2023) with a group of financial institutions, which closed during the year ended December 31, 2016 and was amended on November 20, 2018. The Term Loan Due 2023 is priced on a leverage grid at a rate of LIBOR plus a credit spread. In accordance with the amended term loan agreement (Amended Term Loan Agreement), we may elect to convert to an investment grade pricing grid. As of September 30, 2019, making such an election would have resulted in a higher interest rate and, as such, we have not made the election to convert to an investment grade pricing grid.
On July 17, 2019, we entered into a term loan agreement (2019 Term Loan Agreement) with a group of financial institutions for a five-year $120,000 unsecured term loan (Term Loan Due 2024) and a seven-year $150,000 unsecured term loan (Term Loan Due 2026). The Term Loan Due 2024 and Term Loan Due 2026 bear interest at a rate of LIBOR, adjusted based on applicable reserve percentages established by the Federal Reserve, plus a credit spread based on a leverage grid. In accordance with the 2019 Term Loan Agreement, we may elect to convert to an investment grade pricing grid. As of September 30, 2019, making such an election would have resulted in a higher interest rate and, as such, we have not made the election to convert to an investment grade pricing grid. The proceeds were used to repay outstanding indebtedness and for general corporate purposes.
The following table summarizes the key terms of the unsecured term loans:
|
| | | | | | |
Unsecured Term Loans | | Maturity Date | | Leverage-Based Pricing Credit Spread | | Investment Grade Pricing Credit Spread |
$200,000 unsecured term loan due 2023 | | 11/22/2023 | | 1.20% – 1.85% | | 0.85% – 1.65% |
$120,000 unsecured term loan due 2024 | | 7/17/2024 | | 1.20% – 1.70% | | 0.80% – 1.65% |
$150,000 unsecured term loan due 2026 | | 7/17/2026 | | 1.50% – 2.20% | | 1.35% – 2.25% |
The Term Loan Due 2023 has a $100,000 accordion option that allows us, at our election, to increase the Term Loan Due 2023 up to $300,000, subject to (i) customary fees and conditions, including the absence of an event of default as defined in the Amended Term Loan Agreement and (ii) our ability to obtain additional lender commitments.
The Term Loan Due 2024 has a $130,000 accordion option and the Term Loan Due 2026 has a $100,000 accordion option that, collectively, allow us, at our election, to increase the total of the Term Loan Due 2024 and Term Loan Due 2026 up to $500,000, subject to (i) customary fees and conditions, including the absence of an event of default as defined in the 2019 Term Loan Agreement and (ii) our ability to obtain additional lender commitments.

These include financial covenants such as (i) maximum unencumbered, secured and consolidated leverage ratios; (ii) minimum interest coverage ratios; (iii) minimum fixed charge coverage ratios; (iv) minimum unencumbered interest coverage ratios; (v) minimum debt service coverage ratio; (vi) minimum unencumbered assets to unsecured debt ratio; and (vii) minimum consolidated net worth. As of September 30, 2019, management believes we were in compliance with the financial covenants and default provisions under the unsecured debt agreements.
We plan on addressing our debt maturities through a combination of cash flows from operations, working capital, capital markets transactions and our unsecured revolving line of credit.
Distributions and Equity Transactions
Our distributions of current and accumulated earnings and profits for U.S. federal income tax purposes are taxable to shareholders, generally, as ordinary income. Distributions in excess of these earnings and profits generally are treated as a non-taxable reduction of the shareholders’ basis in the shares to the extent thereof (non-dividend distributions) and thereafter as taxable gain. We intend to continue to qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code) generally requires that a REIT annually distributes to its shareholders at least 90% of its REIT taxable income, determined without
regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding net capital gains. The Code imposes tax on any undistributed REIT taxable income.
To satisfy the requirements for qualification as a REIT and generally not be subject to U.S. federal income and excise tax, we intend to make regular quarterly distributions of all, or substantially all, of our taxable income to shareholders. Our future distributions will be at the discretion of our board of directors. When determining the amount of future distributions, we expect to consider, among other factors, (i) the amount of cash generated from our operating activities, (ii) our expectations of future cash flow, (iii) our determination of near-term cash needs for debt repayments and potential future share repurchases, (iv) the market of available acquisitions of new properties and redevelopment, expansion and pad development opportunities, (v) the timing of significant re-leasing activities and the establishment of additional cash reserves for anticipated tenant allowances and general property capital improvements, (vi) our ability to continue to access additional sources of capital, and (vii) the amount required to be distributed to maintain our status as a REIT, which is a requirement of our Unsecured Credit Agreement, and to avoid or minimize any income and excise taxes that we otherwise would be required to pay. Under certain circumstances, we may be required to make distributions in excess of cash available for distribution in order to meet the REIT distribution requirements.
We have an existing common stock repurchase program under which we may repurchase, from time to time, up to a maximum of $500,000 of shares of our Class A common stock. The shares may be repurchased in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions and are canceled upon repurchase. The timing and actual number of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors, including price in absolute terms and in relation to the value of our assets, corporate and regulatory requirements, market conditions and other corporate liquidity requirements and priorities. The common stock repurchase program may be suspended or terminated at any time without prior notice. We did not repurchase any shares during the nine months ended September 30, 2019. As of September 30, 2019, $189,105 remained available for repurchases of shares of our common stock under our common stock repurchase program.
Capital Expenditures and Redevelopment Activity
We anticipate that obligations related to capital improvements and redevelopments, including expansions and pad developments, can be met with cash flows from operations, working capital, capital markets transactions and our unsecured revolving line of credit.
As of September 30, 2019, we had active redevelopment and expansion projects at Circle East, One Loudoun Downtown and Carillon. We have invested a total of approximately $31,000 in these projects, which is net of proceeds of $11,820 from the sale of air rights at Circle East and net of contributions from our joint venture partners at One Loudoun Downtown and Carillon. These projects are at various stages of completion, and based on our current plans and estimates, we anticipate that it will require approximately $324,000 to $357,000 of additional funds from us to complete these projects.
We capitalized internal salaries and related benefits of personnel directly involved in capital upgrades and tenant improvements of $679 and $2,004 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, and $514 and $1,271 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. We also capitalized internal leasing incentives of $111 and $247 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, and $71 and $241 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, all of which were incremental to signed leases.
In addition, we capitalized $1,204 and $2,437 of indirect project costs related to redevelopment projects during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, including, among other costs, $366 and $1,066 of internal salaries and related benefits of personnel directly involved in the redevelopment projects and $570 and $940 of interest, respectively. We capitalized $499 and $1,463 of indirect project costs related to redevelopment projects during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, including, among other costs, $276 and $689 of internal salaries and related benefits of personnel directly involved in the redevelopment projects and $98 and $348 of interest, respectively.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Cash flows from operating activities consist primarily of net income from property operations, adjusted for the following, among others: (i) depreciation and amortization, (ii) provision for impairment of investment properties and (iii) gain on sales of investment properties. Net cash provided by operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 increased $18,980 primarily due to the following:
| |
• | a $3,708 increase in NOI, consisting of an increase in Same Store NOI of $6,298, partially offset by a decrease in NOI from properties that were sold or held for sale in 2018 and 2019 and other properties not included in our same store portfolio of $2,590; and |
| |
• | ordinary course fluctuations in working capital accounts; |
partially offset by
| |
• | an $816 increase in cash paid for leasing fees and inducements; and |
| |
• | a $514 increase in cash bonuses paid. |
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Cash flows from investing activities consist primarily of proceeds from the sales of investment properties, net of cash paid to purchase investment properties and fund capital expenditures, tenant improvements and developments in progress. Net cash flows from investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 decreased $192,748 due to the following:
| |
• | a $145,665 decrease in proceeds from the sales of investment properties; |
| |
• | a $29,891 increase in cash paid to purchase investment properties. No investment properties were acquired during the nine months ended September 30, 2018; |
| |
• | an $8,712 increase in capital expenditures and tenant improvements; and |
| |
• | an $8,480 increase in investment in developments in progress. |
For the remainder of 2019, we expect to fund redevelopment, expansion and pad development activities, capital expenditures and tenant improvements through cash flows generated from operations, working capital and our unsecured revolving line of credit.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Cash flows used in financing activities primarily consist of repayments of our unsecured revolving line of credit, unsecured term loans and mortgages payable, distribution payments, principal payments on mortgages payable, debt prepayment costs and payment of loan fees and deposits, partially offset by proceeds from our unsecured revolving line of credit and the issuance of debt instruments. Net cash flows used in financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 decreased $225,569 primarily due to the following:

• | a $270,000 increase in proceeds from the Term Loan Due 2024 and the Term Loan Due 2026 during the nine months ended September 30, 2019. No such proceeds were received in 2018; |
| |
• | a $100,000 increase in proceeds from the issuance of unsecured notes payable to institutional investors in a private placement transaction during the nine months ended September 30, 2019. No such proceeds were received in 2018; |
| |
• | a $100,000 decrease in repayments of unsecured term loans resulting from the repayment of our unsecured term loan due 2018 during the nine months ended September 30, 2018. No such repayments were made in 2019; |
| |
• | a $20,681 decrease in cash paid to repurchase common shares through our common stock repurchase program resulting from the common stock repurchased in 2018. No such repurchases were completed in 2019; |
| |
• | a $2,880 decrease in distributions paid as a result of a decrease in common shares outstanding due to the repurchase of common shares through our common stock repurchase program in 2018; and |
| |
• | a $2,879 decrease in the payment of loan fees and deposits; |
partially offset by
| |
• | a $242,000 change in the activity on our unsecured revolving line of credit from net repayments of $7,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to net repayments of $249,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2019; |
| |
• | a $28,881 increase in principal payments on mortgages payable; and |
| |
• | a $2,360 increase in debt prepayment fees. |
We plan to continue to address our debt maturities through a combination of cash flows from operations, working capital, capital markets transactions and our unsecured revolving line of credit.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
Contractual Obligations
During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, except as otherwise disclosed herein, there were no material changes outside the normal course of business to the contractual obligations identified in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K contains a description of our critical accounting policies, including those relating to the acquisition of investment properties, impairment of long-lived assets, development and redevelopment projects, and revenue recognition. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, there were no significant changes to these policies except for the policies related to the accounting for leases as a result of the adoption of ASU 2016-02, Leases, as of January 1, 2019 as described in Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Note 6 – Leases in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.
Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements regarding recently issued accounting pronouncements.
Subsequent Events
Subsequent to September 30, 2019, we:
| |
• | declared the cash dividend for the fourth quarter of 2019 of $0.165625 per share on our outstanding Class A common stock, which will be paid on January 10, 2020 to Class A common shareholders of record at the close of business on December 26, 2019. |
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We may be exposed to interest rate changes primarily as a result of our long-term debt that is used to maintain liquidity and fund our operations. Our interest rate risk management objectives are to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower our overall borrowing costs. To achieve our objectives, we borrow primarily at fixed rates, and in some cases variable rates with the ability to convert to fixed rates.
With regard to variable rate financing, we assess interest rate cash flow risk by continually identifying and monitoring changes in interest rate exposures that may adversely impact expected future cash flows and by evaluating hedging opportunities. We maintain risk management control systems to monitor interest rate cash flow risk attributable to both our outstanding or forecasted debt obligations as well as our potential offsetting hedge positions. The risk management control systems involve the use of analytical techniques, including cash flow sensitivity analysis, to estimate the expected impact of changes in interest rates on our future cash flows.
As of September 30, 2019, we had $720,000 of variable rate debt based on LIBOR that has been swapped to fixed rate debt through interest rate swaps. Our interest rate swaps as of September 30, 2019 are summarized in the following table:
|
| | | | | | | | | | |
| | Notional Amount | | Maturity Date | | Fair Value of Derivative Liability |
Unsecured credit facility term loan due 2021 | | $ | 250,000 |
| | January 5, 2021 | | $ | 1,299 |
|
Term Loan Due 2023 | | 200,000 |
| | November 22, 2023 | | 11,748 |
|
Term Loan Due 2024 | | 120,000 |
| | July 17, 2024 | | 1,695 |
|
Term Loan Due 2026 | | 150,000 |
| | July 17, 2026 | | 3,753 |
|
| | $ | 720,000 |
| | | | $ | 18,495 |
|
For a discussion concerning the scheduled debt maturities and principal amortization of our indebtedness as of September 30, 2019 for the remainder of 2019, each of the next four years and thereafter and the weighted average interest rates by year to evaluate the expected cash flows and sensitivity to interest rate changes, refer to Note 7 – Debt in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and Part I, “Item 2 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Liquidity and Capital Resources — Debt Maturities” contained herein.
A decrease of 1% in market interest rates would result in a hypothetical increase in our derivative liability of approximately $27,352.
The combined carrying amount of our debt is approximately $34,848 lower than the fair value as of September 30, 2019.
We had $24,000 of variable rate debt, excluding $720,000 of variable rate debt that has been swapped to fixed rate debt, with an interest rate of 3.09% based upon LIBOR as of September 30, 2019. An increase in the variable interest rate on this debt constitutes a market risk. If interest rates increase by 1% based on debt outstanding as of September 30, 2019, interest expense would increase by approximately $240 on an annualized basis.
We may use additional derivative financial instruments to hedge exposures to changes in interest rates. To the extent we do, we are exposed to market and credit risk. Market risk is the adverse effect on the value of a financial instrument that results from a change in interest rates. The market risk associated with interest rate contracts is managed by establishing and monitoring parameters that limit the types and degree of market risk that may be undertaken. Credit risk is the failure of the counterparty to perform under the terms of the derivative contract. When the fair value of a derivative contract is positive, the counterparty owes us, which creates credit risk for us. When the fair value of a derivative contract is negative, we owe the counterparty and, therefore, we generally are not exposed to the credit risk of the counterparty. We minimize credit risk in derivative instruments by entering into transactions with highly rated counterparties or with the same party providing the financing, with the right of offset.
In the event that LIBOR is discontinued, the interest rate for certain of our debt instruments, including our unsecured credit facility term loan due 2021, unsecured credit facility revolving line of credit, Term Loan Due 2023, Term Loan Due 2024 and Term Loan Due 2026, and interest rate swap agreements that are indexed to LIBOR, will be based on a replacement rate or an alternate base rate as specified in the applicable documentation governing such debt or swaps or as otherwise agreed upon. Such an event would not affect our ability to borrow or maintain already outstanding borrowings or swaps, but the replacement rate or alternate base rate could be higher or more volatile than LIBOR prior to its discontinuance. We understand that LIBOR is expected to remain available through the end of 2021, but may be discontinued or otherwise become unavailable thereafter.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
We have established disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that material information relating to us, including our consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to the officers who certify our financial reports and to the members of senior management and the board of directors.
Based on management’s evaluation as of September 30, 2019, our Chief Executive Officer and our Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) are effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in our reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
There were no changes to our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are subject, from time to time, to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. While the resolution of such matters cannot be predicted with certainty, we believe, based on currently available information, that the final outcome of such matters will not have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
As a result of the potential discontinuation of LIBOR after 2021, the following risk factor is considered relevant to our company, in addition to those that are presented in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 and in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2019 and June 30, 2019.
We may be adversely affected by the potential discontinuation of LIBOR.
In July 2017, the Financial Conduct Authority in the U.K., which regulates LIBOR, announced that it intends to stop compelling banks to submit rates for the calculation of LIBOR after 2021. It is expected that a transition away from the widespread use of LIBOR to alternative interest rates will occur over the course of the next few years. As of September 30, 2019, we had $744,000 of debt that was indexed to LIBOR, including our unsecured credit facility term loan due 2021, unsecured credit facility revolving line of credit, Term Loan Due 2023, Term Loan Due 2024 and Term Loan Due 2026, as well as interest rate swap agreements that hedge the variable cash flows associated with variable rate debt with an aggregate notional amount of $720,000. Of the total $744,000 of debt and $720,000 notional swap amount that is indexed to LIBOR, $494,000 and $470,000, respectively, mature after 2021.
In the event that LIBOR is discontinued, the interest rate for our debt that is indexed to LIBOR will be based on a replacement rate or an alternate base rate as specified in the applicable documentation governing such debt or as otherwise agreed upon. Such an event would not affect our ability to borrow or maintain already outstanding borrowings, but the replacement rate or alternate base rate could be higher or more volatile than LIBOR prior to its discontinuance. In addition, we expect that amendments will be made to our interest rate swap agreements that will result in the LIBOR-based swap rate reverting, upon the occurrence of such events, to the same rate that would be expected to be used as the replacement rate or alternate base rate under the related debt agreements. The full impact of the expected transition away from LIBOR and the potential discontinuation of LIBOR after 2021 is not known, but these changes could adversely affect our cash flow, financial condition and results of operations.
There have been no other material changes to our risk factors during the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to those risk factors presented in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 and in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2019 and June 30, 2019.
