Organization and Basis of Presentations | Organization and Basis of Presentations Organization Ramco-Gershenson Properties Trust, together with its subsidiaries (the “Company” or "RPT"), is a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) engaged in the business of owning, developing, redeveloping, acquiring, managing and leasing large multi-anchored shopping centers primarily in a number of the largest metropolitan markets in the central United States. As of March 31, 2018 , our property portfolio consisted of 56 wholly owned shopping centers comprising approximately 13.6 million square feet. We also have ownership interests of 7% , 20% , 30% and 30% , respectively, in four joint ventures. Our joint ventures are reported using equity method accounting. We earn fees from two joint ventures for managing, leasing and redeveloping the shopping centers they own. In addition, we own interests in several land parcels that are available for development or sale. Most of our properties are anchored by supermarkets and/or national chain stores. Our credit risk, therefore, is concentrated in the retail industry. Basis of Presentation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and our majority owned subsidiary, the Operating Partnership, Ramco-Gershenson Properties, L.P. (the "OP") ( 97.7% owned by the Company at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 ), and all wholly-owned subsidiaries, including entities in which we have a controlling financial interest. We have elected to be a REIT for federal income tax purposes. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The information furnished is unaudited and reflects all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to reflect a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented, and all such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 . The preparation of our unaudited financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management of the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and reported amounts that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In February 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-05 "Other Income - Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets" ("ASU 2017-05"). ASU 2017-05 clarifies that a financial asset is within the scope of Subtopic 610-20 if it meets the definition of an in substance nonfinancial asset. ASU 2017-05 also defines the term "in substance nonfinancial asset". In addition, ASU 2017-05 eliminates the guidance specific to real estate sales in ASC 360-20. It is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, therefore we adopted the standard on January 1, 2018. In doing so, the Company recorded an adjustment under the modified retrospective method of approximately $2.2 million to shareholders' equity associated with a transaction that occurred in the fourth quarter of 2017. The adjustment had no impact on earnings or cash flows. In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09 "Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting" ("ASU 2017-09"). ASU 2017-09 clarifies guidance about what changes to the terms and conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting in Topic 718. It is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18 "Statement of Cash Flows." This new guidance is effective January 1, 2018, with early adoption permitted, and requires amounts that are generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents to be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. The pronouncement requires a retrospective transition method of adoption. The adoption of this standard resulted in the reclassification of approximately $26.1 million of proceeds from real estate dispositions during the three months ended March 31, 2017 that were held in escrow as restricted cash. The amount was reclassified as net proceeds from sales of real estate from a non cash investing activity. The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash reported within the consolidated balances sheets that reconciles to the total shown within the consolidated statements of cash flows. As of March 31, 2018 2017 Cash and cash equivalents $ 10,315 $ 4,486 Restricted cash and escrows 5,214 31,785 $ 15,529 $ 36,271 Restricted cash generally consists of funds held in escrow by lenders to pay real estate taxes, insurance premiums and certain capital expenditures. In limited instances, restricted cash may include deposits on potential future acquisitions and/or proceeds related to dispositions of real estate. In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15 "Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments" ("ASU 2016-15"), which clarifies the treatment of several cash flow categories. In addition, ASU 2016-15 clarifies that when cash receipts and cash payments have aspects of more than one class of cash flows and cannot be separated, classification will depend on the predominant source or use. This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" ("ASU 2014-09"). ASU 2014-09 is a comprehensive revenue recognition standard that superseded nearly all prior GAAP revenue recognition guidance as well as prior GAAP guidance governing the sale of non-financial assets. The standard’s core principle is that a company should recognize revenue when it satisfies performance obligations, by transferring promised goods or services to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for fulfilling those performance obligations. In doing so, companies need to exercise more judgment and make more estimates than under prior GAAP guidance. ASU 2014-09 became effective for public entities for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and early adoption was permitted in periods ending after December 15, 2016. The guidance permited two methods of adoption: retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented (full retrospective method), or retrospectively with the cumulative effect initially applying the guidance recognized at the date of initial application (modified retrospective method). We adopted the standard and the related updates subsequently issued by the FASB using the modified retrospective method on January 1, 2018. ASU 2014-09 applies only to certain revenue included in Other Property Income and Management and Other Fee Income in our Consolidated Statement of Operations which totaled $ 0.9 million , or less than 2.0% of total revenue, for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 . The adoption of the standard did not result in a cumulative adjustment recognized as of January 1, 2018. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In March 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-05, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118." These amendments add SEC guidance, among other things, to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification regarding the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. This standard is effective for all public companies upon addition to the FASB Codification. We are currently evaluating the guidance and have not determined the impact this standard may have on our consolidated financial statements. In March 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-04, "Investments-Debt Securities (Topic 320 and Regulated Operations (Topic 980): Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 117 and SEC Release No. 33-9273". These amendments supersede previous SEC guidance in the Codification in SAB Topic 5.M, Other-Than-Temporary Impairment of Certain Investments in Equity Securities and special balance sheet requirements in Regulation S-X Rule 3A-05 for Public Utility Holding Companies. This standard is effective for all public companies upon addition to the FASB Codification. We are currently evaluating the guidance and have not determined the impact this standard may have on our consolidated financial statements. In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-03, "Technical Corrections and Improvements to Financial Instruments-Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities", that clarifies the guidance in ASU No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments-Overall (Subtopic 825-10). For public business entities, ASU 2018-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2018. We are currently evaluating the guidance and have not determined the impact this standard may have on our consolidated financial statements. In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, "Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income". These amendments provide financial statement preparers with an option to reclassify stranded tax effects within AOCI to retained earnings in each period in which the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (or portion thereof) is recorded. This standard is effective for for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those financial years. We are currently evaluating the guidance and have not determined the impact this standard may have on our consolidated financial statements. In January 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-01, "Leases (Topic 842): Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842". The standard provides an optional transition practical expedient for the adoption of ASU 2016-02 that, if elected, would not require an organization to reconsider its accounting for existing land easements that are not currently accounted for under the old leases standard. Also under this new pronouncement, non-lease components of new or modified leases, including common area maintenance reimbursements, will be accounted for under the Revenue from Contracts with Customers guidance. Additionally, only incremental direct leasing costs may be capitalized under this new guidance. This standard is effective along with ASU 2016-02, for periods after December 15, 2018. The Company expects to adopt this new guidance on January 1, 2019 and will continue to evaluate the impact of this guidance until it becomes effective. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04 "Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment" ("ASU 2017-04"). ASU 2017-04 simplifies the accounting for goodwill impairment by removing Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test, which requires a hypothetical purchase price allocation. ASU 2017-04 is effective for annual or interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and should be applied on a prospective basis. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The adoption of ASU 2017-04 is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In June 2016, the FASB updated Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 326 "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses" with ASU 2016-13 “Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” ("ASU 2016-13"). ASU 2016-13 enhances the methodology of measuring expected credit losses to include the use of forward-looking information to better inform credit loss estimates. ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual periods (including interim periods within those periods) beginning after December 15, 2019. We are currently evaluating the guidance and have not determined the impact this standard may have on our consolidated financial statements. In February 2016, the FASB updated ASC Topic 842 "Leases" ("ASU 2016-02"). ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to record operating and financing leases as assets and liabilities on the balance sheet and lessors to expense costs that are not direct leasing costs. ASU 2016-02 is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted using a modified retrospective approach. The Company continues to evaluate the effect the adoption of ASU 2016-02 will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. However, we currently believe the adoption of ASU 2016-02 will not have a material impact for operating leases where we are a lessor and we will continue to record revenues from rental properties for operating leases on a straight-line basis. In addition, for leases where the Company is a lessee, primarily the Company’s ground lease and administrative office lease, the Company believes it will record a lease liability and a right of use asset at fair value upon adoption related to these items. Additionally, only incremental direct leasing costs may be capitalized under this new guidance. The Company expects to adopt this new guidance on January 1, 2019 and will continue to evaluate the impact of this guidance until it becomes effective. |
