Basis of Presentation, Consolidation, Investments in Joint Ventures, and Noncontrolling Interests | Basis of Presentation, Consolidation, Investments in Joint Ventures, and Noncontrolling Interests We have prepared the accompanying unaudited financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) may have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the presentation not misleading. The unaudited financial statements as of September 30, 2019 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary in the opinion of management to present fairly the financial information set forth therein. The consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in the combined Annual Report on Form 10-K of the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership for the year ended December 31, 2018 . The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected on an annual basis. Components of Investment Properties The composition of the Company’s investment properties as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 was as follows: Balance at September 30, December 31, Investment properties, at cost: Land, buildings and improvements $ 3,111,386 $ 3,600,743 Furniture, equipment and other 7,667 7,741 Construction in progress 34,383 32,636 $ 3,153,436 $ 3,641,120 Consolidation and Investments in Joint Ventures The accompanying financial statements are presented on a consolidated basis and include all accounts of the Parent Company, the Operating Partnership, the taxable REIT subsidiary of the Operating Partnership, subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership that are controlled and any variable interest entities (“VIEs”) in which the Operating Partnership is the primary beneficiary. In general, a VIE is a corporation, partnership, trust or any other legal structure used for business purposes that either (a) has equity investors that do not provide sufficient financial resources for the entity to support its activities, (b) does not have equity investors with voting rights or (c) has equity investors whose votes are disproportionate from their economics and substantially all of the activities are conducted on behalf of the investor with disproportionately fewer voting rights. The Operating Partnership accounts for properties that are owned by joint ventures in accordance with the consolidation guidance. The Operating Partnership evaluates each joint venture and determines first whether to follow the VIE or the voting interest entity ("VOE") model. Once the appropriate consolidation model is identified, the Operating Partnership then evaluates whether it should consolidate the joint venture. Under the VIE model, the Operating Partnership consolidates an entity when it has (i) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance, and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. Under the VOE model, the Operating Partnership consolidates an entity when (i) it controls the entity through ownership of a majority voting interest if the entity is not a limited partnership or (ii) it controls the entity through its ability to remove the other partners or owners in the entity, at its discretion, when the entity is a limited partnership. In determining whether to consolidate a VIE with the Operating Partnership, we consider all relationships between the Operating Partnership and the applicable VIE, including development agreements, management agreements and other contractual arrangements, in determining whether we have the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly affect the VIE's performance. As of September 30, 2019 , we owned investments in two joint ventures that were VIEs in which the partners did not have substantive participating rights and we were the primary beneficiary. As of this date, these VIEs had total debt of $56.0 million , which were secured by assets of the VIEs totaling $114.2 million . The Operating Partnership guarantees the debts of these VIEs. The Operating Partnership is considered a VIE as the limited partners do not hold kick-out rights or substantive participating rights. The Parent Company consolidates the Operating Partnership as it is the primary beneficiary in accordance with the VIE model. Income Taxes and REIT Compliance Parent Company The Parent Company, which is considered a corporation for federal income tax purposes, has been organized and intends to continue to operate in a manner that will enable it to maintain its qualification as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. As a result, it generally will not be subject to federal income tax on the earnings that it distributes to the extent it distributes its “REIT taxable income” (determined before the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gains) to shareholders of the Parent Company and meets certain other requirements on a recurring basis. To the extent that it satisfies this distribution requirement, but distributes less than 100% of its taxable income, it will be subject to federal corporate income tax on its undistributed REIT taxable income. REITs are subject to a number of organizational and operational requirements. If the Parent Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, it will be subject to federal income tax on its taxable income at regular corporate rates for a period of four years following the year in which qualification is lost. We may also be subject to certain federal, state and local taxes on our income and property and to federal income and excise taxes on our undistributed taxable income even if the Parent Company does qualify as a REIT. The Operating Partnership intends to continue to make distributions to the Parent Company in amounts sufficient to assist the Parent Company in adhering to REIT requirements and maintaining its REIT status. We have elected to treat Kite Realty Holdings, LLC as a taxable REIT subsidiary of the Operating Partnership, and we may elect to treat other subsidiaries as taxable REIT subsidiaries in the future. This election enables us to receive income and provide services that would otherwise be impermissible for a REIT. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are established for temporary differences between the financial reporting bases and the tax bases of assets and liabilities at the tax rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. Operating Partnership The allocated share of income and loss, other than the operations of our taxable REIT subsidiary, is included in the income tax returns of the Operating Partnership's partners. Accordingly, the only federal income taxes included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements are in connection with the Operating Partnership's taxable REIT subsidiary. Noncontrolling Interests We report the non-redeemable noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries as equity, and the amount of consolidated net income attributable to these noncontrolling interests is set forth separately in the consolidated financial statements. The non-redeemable noncontrolling interests in consolidated properties for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 were as follows: 2019 2018 Noncontrolling interests balance January 1 $ 698 $ 698 Net income allocable to noncontrolling interests, — — Noncontrolling interests balance at September 30 $ 698 $ 698 Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests - Limited Partners Limited Partner Units are redeemable noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership. We classify redeemable noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets outside of permanent equity because we may be required to pay cash to holders of Limited Partner Units upon redemption of their interests in the Operating Partnership or deliver registered shares upon their conversion. The carrying amount of the redeemable noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership is reflected at the greater of historical book value or redemption value with a corresponding adjustment to additional paid-in capital. At September 30, 2019 , the redemption value of the redeemable noncontrolling interests exceeded the historical book value, and the balance was accordingly adjusted to redemption value. At December 31, 2018, the redemption value of the redeemable noncontrolling interests did not exceed the historical book value, and the balance was accordingly adjusted to historical book value. We allocate net operating results of the Operating Partnership after noncontrolling interests in the consolidated properties based on the partners’ respective weighted average ownership interest. We adjust the redeemable noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership at the end of each reporting period to reflect their interests in the Operating Partnership or redemption value. This adjustment is reflected in our shareholders’ and Parent Company's equity. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 , the weighted average interests of the Parent Company and the limited partners in the Operating Partnership were as follows: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended 2019 2018 2019 2018 Parent Company’s weighted average basic interest in 97.5 % 97.6 % 97.6 % 97.6 % Limited partners' weighted average basic interests in 2.5 % 2.4 % 2.4 % 2.4 % At September 30, 2019 , the Parent Company's interest and the limited partners' redeemable noncontrolling ownership interests in the Operating Partnership were 97.5% and 2.5% . At December 31, 2018, the Parent Company's interest and the limited partners' redeemable noncontrolling ownership interests in the Operating Partnership were 97.6% and 2.4% . Concurrent with the Parent Company’s initial public offering and related formation transactions, certain individuals received Limited Partner Units of the Operating Partnership in exchange for their interests in certain properties. The limited partners have the right to redeem Limited Partner Units for cash or, at the Parent Company's election, common shares of the Parent Company in an amount equal to the market value of an equivalent number of common shares of the Parent Company at the time of redemption. Such common shares must be registered, which is not fully in the Parent Company’s control. Therefore, the limited partners’ interest is not reflected in permanent equity. The Parent Company also has the right to redeem the Limited Partner Units directly from the limited partner in exchange for either cash in the amount specified above or a number of its common shares equal to the number of Limited Partner Units being redeemed. There were 2,110,037 and 2,035,349 Limited Partner Units outstanding as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , respectively. The increase in Limited Partner Units outstanding from December 31, 2018 is due to non-cash compensation awards made to our executive officers in the form of Limited Partner Units. Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests - Subsidiaries Prior to the merger with Inland Diversified Real Estate Trust, Inc. ("Inland Diversified") in 2014, Inland Diversified formed joint ventures with the previous owners of certain properties and issued Class B units in three joint ventures that indirectly own those properties. The Class B units related to one of these three joint ventures remain outstanding and are accounted for as noncontrolling interests in the remaining venture. The remaining Class B units will become redeemable at the respective partner's election in October 2022 and the fulfillment of certain redemption criteria. Beginning in November 2022, the Class B units can be redeemed at the election of either of our partner or us for cash or Limited Partner Units in the Operating Partnership. The Class B units do not have a maturity date, and none are mandatorily redeemable unless either party has elected for the units to be redeemed. We consolidate this joint venture because we control the decision making and our joint venture partner has limited protective rights. We classify the redeemable noncontrolling interests in certain subsidiaries in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets outside of permanent equity because, under certain circumstances, we may be required to pay cash to Class B unitholders in specific subsidiaries upon redemption of their interests. The carrying amount of these redeemable noncontrolling interests is required to be reflected at the greater of initial book value or redemption value with a corresponding adjustment to additional paid-in capital. As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the redemption amounts of these interests did not exceed their fair value, nor did they exceed the initial book value. In February 2018, we received notice from former partners in one of the joint ventures of their intent to exercise their right to redeem their remaining $22.0 million of Class B units for cash. Their interests were redeemed in August and November of 2018. The redeemable noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership and subsidiaries for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 were as follows: 2019 2018 Redeemable noncontrolling interests balance January 1 $ 45,743 $ 72,104 Net (loss) income allocable to redeemable noncontrolling interests (10 ) 604 Distributions declared to redeemable noncontrolling interests (2,388 ) (2,943 ) Liability reclassification due to exercise of redemption option by joint venture partner — (22,461 ) Other, net, including adjustments to redemption value 2,038 122 Total limited partners' interests in Operating Partnership and other redeemable noncontrolling interests balance at September 30 $ 45,383 $ 47,426 Limited partners' interests in Operating Partnership $ 35,313 $ 37,356 Other redeemable noncontrolling interests in certain subsidiaries 10,070 10,070 Total limited partners' interests in Operating Partnership and other redeemable noncontrolling interests balance at September 30 $ 45,383 $ 47,426 Fair Value Measurements We follow the framework established under accounting standard FASB ASC 820 for measuring fair value of non-financial assets and liabilities that are not required or permitted to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis but only in certain circumstances, such as a business combination or upon determination of an impairment. Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets are categorized based on the inputs to the valuation techniques as follows: • Level 1 fair value inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments to which we have access. • Level 2 fair value inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for similar instruments, either directly or indirectly, and appropriately consider counterparty creditworthiness in the valuations. • Level 3 fair value inputs reflect our best estimate of inputs and assumptions market participants would use in pricing an instrument at the measurement date. The inputs are unobservable in the market and significant to the valuation estimate. In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. Reclassifications Certain amounts in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for 2018 have been reclassified to conform to the 2019 consolidated financial statement presentation. On the Company's consolidated statements of operations, it no longer presents minimum rents and tenant reimbursements as separate amounts because the Company now accounts for these amounts as a single combined lease component, rental income. The reclassifications had no impact on net results previously reported. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Adoption of New Standards Leases On January 1, 2019, we adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") ASU 2016-02, Leases, using the modified retrospective approach along with electing the package of practical expedients. ASU 2016-02 amends the existing accounting standards for lease accounting, including requiring lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets and making certain changes to lessor accounting, including the accounting for sales-type and direct financing leases. For leases with a term of one year or less, the Company made an accounting policy election by underlying asset to not recognize lease liabilities and right-of-use (ROU) assets. The practical expedients include the following: • The Company did not reassess whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases; • The Company did not reassess the lease classification of any expired or existing leases; • The Company did not reassess initial direct costs for any existing leases; and • The Company elected to not separate non-lease components, such as common area maintenance, of a contract from the leases to which they relate when specific criteria are met. The new leasing standard also amended ASC 340-40, Other Assets and Deferred Costs - Contracts with Customers. Under ASC 340-40, incremental costs of obtaining a contract are recognized as an asset if the entity expects to recover them. Certain costs that were previously capitalized as a leasing cost no longer meet the requirements for capitalization under the new leasing standard. The incremental expense recorded for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 was approximately $1.3 million and $3.9 million , respectively. Lessor Activity The Company receives rental income from the leasing of retail and office space. The leases generally provide for certain increases in base rent, reimbursement for certain operating expenses, and may require tenants to pay contingent rent to the extent their sales exceed a defined threshold. Certain tenants have the option in the lease agreement to extend their lease upon the expiration of their contractual term. Variable lease payments are based upon tenant sales information and are recognized once a tenant's sales volume exceeds a defined threshold. Variable lease payments for reimbursement of operating expenses are based upon the operating expense activity for the period. From a lessor perspective, the new guidance remained mostly similar to legacy GAAP as the Company elected the practical expedient to not separate non-lease components from lease components. This election resulted in a change on the Company's consolidated statements of operations as the Company no longer presents minimum rents and tenant reimbursements as separate amounts because the Company now accounts for these amounts as a single combined lease component, rental income, on the basis of the lease component being the predominant component of the contract. As such, non-lease components, including common area maintenance reimbursements that are of a fixed nature, are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Further, bad debt, which has previously been recorded in property operating expenses, has now been classified as a contra-revenue account in rental income in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019. The Company recognized the following lease rental income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019: ($ in thousands) Three Months Ended September 30, 2019 Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 Fixed Contractual Lease Payments - Operating Leases $ 58,828 $ 188,021 Variable Lease Payments - Operating Leases 13,144 42,339 Straight-Line Rent Adjustment (227 ) 1,383 Amortization of In-Place Lease Liabilities, net 828 2,983 Total $ 72,573 $ 234,726 Future rental income to be received under non-cancelable operating leases for each of the next five years and thereafter, excluding variable lease payments, are as follows: ($ in thousands) 2019 $ 57,335 2020 226,114 2021 206,739 2022 178,295 2023 145,709 Thereafter 534,238 Total $ 1,348,430 Lessee Activity The Company is obligated under nine ground leases where we are the lessee for approximately 47 acres of land. These ground leases require fixed annual rent payments. The expiration dates of the remaining initial terms of these ground leases range from 2023 to 2092. Certain of these leases have extension options. The Company did not recognize value during the option period for the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities as it was not probable the extension options will be exercised. Upon adoption, the Company recorded a right of use asset of $27.0 million and corresponding liability of $27.3 million . The right of use asset is included in prepaid and other assets and the lease liability is included in deferred revenue and other liabilities. This value was determined utilizing an estimate of our incremental borrowing rate that was specific to each lease based upon the term and underlying asset. These rates ranged from 3.93% to 6.33% . Total rental expense was $0.4 million and $0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Total rental expense was $1.4 million and $1.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The weighted average remaining term of the lease agreements is approximately 52 years. Future minimum lease payments due under ground leases for the next five years ending December and thereafter are as follows: ($ in thousands) 2019 $ 423 2020 1,777 2021 1,789 2022 1,815 2023 1,636 Thereafter 72,154 Total Lease Payments 79,594 Less: Discount (52,478 ) Present Value of Lease Liabilities $ 27,116 Derivatives and Hedging On January 1, 2019, we adopted ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging: Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities . ASU 2017-02 better aligns a company’s financial reporting for hedging activities with the economic objectives of those activities. The adoption of ASU 2017-12 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. New Standards Issued but Not Yet Adopted In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses," which introduced new guidance for an approach based on expected losses to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments. It also modifies the impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities and provides a simplified accounting model for purchased financial assets with credit deterioration since their origination. Instruments in scope include loans, held-to-maturity debt securities, and net investments in leases as well as reinsurance and trade receivables. In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-19, which clarifies that operating lease receivables are outside the scope of the new standard. This standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. We are currently evaluating the impact this ASU will have, if any, on our financial statements. |
