SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Report”) of Acadia Realty Trust, a Maryland real estate investment trust, (the “Company”) may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Forward-looking statements, which are based on certain assumptions and describe our future plans, strategies and expectations are generally identifiable by the use of the words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “believe,” “intend” or “project,” or the negative thereof, or other variations thereon or comparable terminology. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause our actual results and financial performance to be materially different from future results and financial performance expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to: (i) the economic, political and social impact of, and uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic (the “COVID-19 Pandemic”) or future pandemics, including its impact on our tenants and their ability to make rent and other payments or honor their commitments under existing leases; (ii) macroeconomic conditions, such as a disruption of or lack of access to the capital markets, disruptions and instability in the banking and financial services industries and rising inflation; (iii) our success in implementing our business strategy and our ability to identify, underwrite, finance, consummate and integrate diversifying acquisitions and investments; (iv) changes in general economic conditions or economic conditions in the markets in which we may, from time to time, compete, and their effect on our revenues, earnings and funding sources; (v) increases in our borrowing costs as a result of rising inflation, changes in interest rates and other factors, including the discontinuation of USD LIBOR, which is currently anticipated to occur in 2023; (vi) our ability to pay down, refinance, restructure or extend our indebtedness as it becomes due; (vii) our investments in joint ventures and unconsolidated entities, including our lack of sole decision-making authority and our reliance on our joint venture partners’ financial condition; (viii) our ability to obtain the financial results expected from our development and redevelopment projects; (ix) our tenants’ ability and willingness to renew their leases with us upon expiration, our ability to re-lease our properties on the same or better terms in the event of nonrenewal or in the event we exercise our right to replace an existing tenant, and obligations we may incur in connection with the replacement of an existing tenant; (x) our potential liability for environmental matters; (xi) damage to our properties from catastrophic weather and other natural events, and the physical effects of climate change; (xii) uninsured losses; (xiii) our ability and willingness to maintain our qualification as a real estate investment trust (REIT) in light of economic, market, legal, tax and other considerations; (xiv) information technology security breaches, including increased cybersecurity risks relating to the use of remote technology; (xv) the loss of key executives; (xvi) the accuracy of our methodologies and estimates regarding environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) metrics, goals and targets, tenant willingness and ability to collaborate towards reporting ESG metrics and meeting ESG goals and targets, and the impact of governmental regulation on our ESG efforts; and (xvii) the risk that our restatement of certain of our previously issued consolidated financial statements or material weaknesses in internal controls could negatively affect investor confidence and raise reputational issues.
The factors described above are not exhaustive and additional factors could adversely affect the Company’s future results and financial performance, including the risk factors discussed under the section captioned “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 and other periodic or current reports the Company files with the SEC, including those set forth under the headings “Item 1A. Risk Factors” and “Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in this Report. These risks and uncertainties should be considered in evaluating any forward-looking statements contained or incorporated by reference herein.

1. Organization, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization
Acadia Realty Trust, a Maryland real estate investment trust (collectively with its consolidated subsidiaries, the “Company”), is a fully-integrated equity REIT focused on the ownership, acquisition, development, and management of retail properties located primarily in high-barrier-to-entry, supply-constrained, densely populated metropolitan areas in the United States.
All of the Company’s assets are held by, and all of its operations are conducted through, Acadia Realty Limited Partnership (the “Operating Partnership”) and entities in which the Operating Partnership owns an interest. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company controlled approximately 95% of the Operating Partnership as the sole general partner and is entitled to share, in proportion to its percentage interest, in the cash distributions and profits and losses of the Operating Partnership. The limited partners primarily represent entities or individuals that contributed their interests in certain properties or entities to the Operating Partnership in exchange for common or preferred units of limited partnership interest (“Common OP Units” or “Preferred OP Units”) and employees who have been awarded restricted Common OP Units (“LTIP Units”) as long-term incentive compensation (Note 13). Limited partners holding Common OP and LTIP Units are generally entitled to exchange their units on a one-for-one basis for common shares of beneficial interest, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (“Common Shares”). This structure is referred to as an umbrella partnership REIT or “UPREIT.”
As of March 31, 2023, the Company has ownership interests in 149 properties within its core portfolio, which consist of those properties either 100% owned, or partially owned through joint venture interests, by the Operating Partnership, or subsidiaries thereof, not including those properties owned through its funds (“Core Portfolio”). The Company also has ownership interests in 51 properties within its opportunity funds, Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund II, LLC (“Fund II”), Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund III LLC (“Fund III”), Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund IV LLC (“Fund IV”), and Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund V LLC (“Fund V” and, collectively with Fund II, Fund III and Fund IV, the “Funds”). The 200 Core Portfolio and Fund properties primarily consist of street and urban retail and suburban shopping centers. In addition, the Company, together with the investors in the Funds, invested in operating companies through Acadia Mervyn Investors I, LLC (“Mervyns I,” which was liquidated in 2018) and Acadia Mervyn Investors II, LLC (“Mervyns II”), all on a non-recourse basis.
The Operating Partnership is the sole general partner or managing member of the Funds and Mervyns II and earns fees or priority distributions for asset management, property management, construction, development, leasing, and legal services. Cash flows from the Funds and Mervyns II are distributed pro-rata to their respective partners and members (including the Operating Partnership) until each receives a certain cumulative return (“Preferred Return”) and the return of all capital contributions. Thereafter, remaining cash flow is distributed 20% to the Operating Partnership (“Promote”) and 80% to the partners or members (including the Operating Partnership). All transactions between the Funds and the Operating Partnership have been eliminated in consolidation.
The following table summarizes the general terms and Operating Partnership’s equity interests in the Funds and Mervyns II (dollars in millions):

a)Amount represents the current economic ownership at March 31, 2023, which could differ from the stated legal ownership based upon the cumulative preferred returns of the respective Fund.
b)Represents the total for the Funds, including the Operating Partnership and noncontrolling interests’ shares.
c)During the second quarter of 2022, the Company increased its ownership in Fund II and Mervyns II through an acquisition of its partner's interest by 11.67%, from 28.33% to 40.00%, for $18.5 million. Additionally, during the third quarter of 2022, the Company increased its ownership in Fund II through an acquisition of a partner's interest by 21.67%, from 40.00% to 61.67%, for $5.8 million. Each of the remaining partners in Fund II have a right to put their equity interests to the Company beginning in August 2023. As the Company retained its controlling interest, these additional investments were accounted for as equity transactions (Note 10). d)During August 2020, a recallable distribution of $15.7 million was made by Mervyns II to its investors, of which $4.5 million was the Company’s share. During 2021 and 2022, Mervyns II recalled $11.9 million and $3.8 million, respectively, of the $15.7 million, of which the Company's share is $3.4 million and $1.2 million, respectively. In January 2023, following the expiration of the lock-up period, Mervyns II distributed the 2.5 million shares of its investment in Albertsons to its partners; the Company directly owns 1.6 million shares (Note 4, Note 8).

Segments
At March 31, 2023, the Company had three reportable operating segments: Core Portfolio, Funds and Structured Financing. The Company’s chief operating decision maker may review operational and financial data on a property-level basis and does not differentiate properties on a geographical basis for purposes of allocating resources or capital.
Principles of Consolidation
The interim consolidated financial statements include the consolidated accounts of the Company and its investments in partnerships and limited liability companies in which the Company has control, including where the Company has been determined to be a primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity ("VIE"), in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 810 “Consolidation” (“ASC Topic 810”). The ownership interests of other investors in these entities are recorded as noncontrolling interests. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Investments in entities for which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over, but does not have financial or operating control, are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Accordingly, the Company’s share of the earnings (or losses) of these entities are included in consolidated net income or loss.
The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Operating results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year. The information furnished in the accompanying consolidated financial statements reflects all adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the aforementioned consolidated financial statements for the interim periods. Such adjustments consisted of normal recurring items.
These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s 2022 consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Use of Estimates
GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the interim consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The most significant assumptions and estimates relate to the valuation of real estate, depreciable lives, revenue recognition and the collectability of notes receivable and rents receivable. Application of these estimates and assumptions requires the exercise of judgment as to future uncertainties and, as a result, actual results could differ from these estimates.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2021, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2021-01 Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) which modifies ASC 848, which was intended to provide relief related to “contracts and transactions that reference the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or a reference rate that is expected to be discontinued as a result of reference rate reform.” ASU 2021-01 expands the scope of ASC 848 to include all affected derivatives and give reporting entities the ability to apply certain aspects of the contract modification and hedge accounting expedients to derivative contracts affected by the discounting transition. ASU 2021-01 also adds implementation guidance to clarify which optional expedients in ASC 848 may be applied to derivative instruments that do not reference LIBOR or a reference rate that is expected to be discontinued, but that are being modified as a result of the discounting transition. The Company has elected the optional practical expedient under ASU 2020-04 and 2021-01, which allows entities to account for the modification as if the modification was not substantial. As a result, the implementation of this guidance did not have an effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In December 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-06 Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848). The guidance in this update defers the sunset date of Topic 848 from December 31, 2022, to December 31, 2024, after which entities will no longer be permitted to apply the relief in Topic 848. The amendments are effective for all entities in scope upon issuance of the ASU. The Company plans to transition all variable rate loans currently indexed to LIBOR to SOFR or another applicable benchmark index and will apply the relief based Topic 848 in line with the sunset date.
Any other recently issued accounting standards or pronouncements not disclosed above have been excluded as they are not relevant to the Company, or they are not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Economic and Other Considerations
In response to the rising rate of inflation the United States Federal Reserve Board (the “Federal Reserve”) has steadily increased interest rates, and may continue to increase interest rates throughout the year and into 2024, until the rate of inflation begins to decrease. These increases in interest rates could adversely impact the business and financial results of the Company and its tenants. In addition to the rising rate of inflation, slower economic growth and the potential for a recession could have an adverse effect on the Company and its tenants. This could negatively affect the overall demand for retail space, including the demand for leasable space in the Company’s properties, real estate asset values and cash flows. Except for increased interest costs, the Company has not experienced any material negative impacts at this time and the Company intends to actively manage its business to respond to the ongoing economic and social impact from such events, and will assess its properties for any impairment indicators.

Total 2022 Acquisitions and Foreclosure | | | | | | $ | 305,903 | |
a)The Williamsburg Collection entity is a variable interest entity and the Company consolidates the entity because it is the entity's primary beneficiary (Note 15). The Company invested $2.8 million in its 49.99% equity interest and, through a separate lending subsidiary, provided a $64.1 million first mortgage loan and a $30.9 million mezzanine loan to subsidiaries of the venture (such equity and loans have been eliminated in consolidation). Pursuant to the entity’s operating agreement, the venture partner has a one-time right to put its 50.01% interest in the entity (the "Williamsburg NCI", which is further described in Note 10) to the Company for fair value at a future date. Given the preferred rate of return of the Company embedded in its equity interests and the accruing debt senior to the equity, the Company did not attribute 12

any initial redemption value to the Williamsburg NCI and recognized a bargain purchase gain of $1.2 million, which is included in Realized and unrealized holding gains on investments and other in the consolidated statements of income.
b)The Henderson Avenue Portfolio comprises 14 operating retail assets, one residential building and two development and redevelopment sites. One of the development sites was sold in October 2022.
c)The entity was previously accounted for as an equity method investment until an affiliate of Fund III acquired the venture partner's interest in a foreclosure action. Fund III now indirectly owns 100% of the entity and consolidates it (Note 4).
For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company capitalized $1.2 million of acquisition costs in connection with the 2022 Acquisitions and Foreclosure. In addition, during the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company expensed $2.0 million of acquisition costs related to the Williamsburg Portfolio (including a $1.5 million acquisition fee paid to an affiliate of a joint venture partner), consistent with the application of transaction costs in a business combination (Note 10). Acquisition costs that were expensed are included in General and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of income. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company assumed a $36.0 million mortgage with the consolidation of 640 Broadway (Note 7).
Purchase Price Allocations
The purchase prices for the 2022 Acquisitions and Foreclosure were allocated to the acquired assets and assumed liabilities based on their estimated relative fair values at the dates of acquisition.

The Company determines the fair value of the individual components of income producing real estate asset acquisitions primarily through calculating the "as-if vacant" value of a building, using an income approach, which relies significantly upon internally determined assumptions. The Company has determined that these estimates primarily rely on Level 3 inputs, which are unobservable inputs based on our own assumptions. The most significant assumptions used in calculating the "as-if vacant" value for acquisition activity during 2022 is as follows:

a)Includes one note receivable from an OP Unit holder, with a balance of $6.0 million at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company decreased its allowance for credit loss of approximately $0.1 million. The Company also received payment on a bridge loan and funded additional proceeds on a loan to an unconsolidated venture as part of its investments in and advances to unconsolidated affiliates (Note 4).
During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company:
•through Fund III obtained the remaining venture partner's interest in an entity that held a property, which was collateral for a note with a balance of $5.3 million, accrued interest of $4.7 million, less credit loss reserve of $4.6 million (exclusive of default interest and other amounts due on the loan that have not been recognized), via a foreclosure auction in January 2022. The entity was previously accounted for as an equity method investment until Fund III acquired the venture partner's interest in a foreclosure auction. Fund III now owns 100% of the entity and consolidates it (Note 4); •originated a new loan to other Fund II investors of $65.9 million in the third quarter, which is presented in redeemable noncontrolling interests on the Company's consolidated balance sheets (Note 10); •funded $7.5 million of a $12.8 million construction loan commitment to an unconsolidated venture, which is presented in investments in and advances to unconsolidated affiliates, net of an allowance for credit loss (Note 4). The loan has a stated interest rate of Prime + 1.00%, matures on December 28, 2023 and is collateralized by the venture members' interest in an entity that holds the 1238 Wisconsin development property; •Fund V made a bridge loan to an unconsolidated venture for $52.0 million during the first quarter, which was repaid during the second quarter. Additionally, Fund V made a bridge loan to an unconsolidated venture for $31.7 million during the third quarter, which is presented in investments in and advances to unconsolidated affiliates, net of an allowance for credit loss. The loan has a stated interest rate of 8.0%, matures on February 6, 2023 and is collateralized by the Shoppes at South Hills property. The loan was repaid during the first quarter of 2023 (Note 4); •received full payment on a $16.0 million Core Portfolio loan during the second quarter, and full payment on a $13.5 million Core Portfolio loan and partial payment of $5.7 million of accrued interest on a Core Portfolio loan during the third quarter;
•extended the maturity date of one Core note receivable of $54.0 million from January 13, 2023 to January 9, 2024; and
•decreased its allowance for credit loss by $4.9 million, of which approximately $4.6 million was attributable to the aforementioned Fund III foreclosure.
Default
One Core Portfolio note aggregating $21.6 million including accrued interest (exclusive of default interest and other amounts due on the loan that have not been recognized) was in default at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. On April 1, 2020, the loan matured and was not repaid. The Company expects to take appropriate actions to recover the amounts due under the loan and has issued a reservation of rights letter to the borrowers and guarantor, reserving all of its rights and remedies under the applicable loan documents and otherwise. The Company has determined that the collateral for this loan is sufficient to cover the loan’s carrying value at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Allowance for Credit Losses
The Company monitors the credit quality of its notes receivable on an ongoing basis and considers indicators of credit quality such as loan payment activity, the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral, the seniority of the Company’s loan in relation to other debt secured by the collateral and the prospects of the borrower.
Earnings from these notes and mortgages receivable are reported within the Company’s Structured Financing segment (Note 12). Interest receivable is included in Other assets (Note 5).
The Company’s estimated allowance for credit losses related to its Structured Financing segment has been computed for its amortized cost basis in the portfolio, including accrued interest (Note 5), factoring historical loss experience in the United States for similar loans, as adjusted for current conditions, as well as the Company’s expectations related to future economic conditions. Due to the lack of comparability across the Structured Financing portfolio, each loan was evaluated separately. As a result, the Company did not elect the collateral-dependent CECL practical expedient for three of its loans with a total amortized cost of $114.5 million, inclusive of accrued interest of $13.5 million, for which an allowance for credit losses has been recorded aggregating $0.8 million at March 31, 2023. For two loans in this portfolio, aggregating $27.9 million, inclusive of accrued interest of $4.1 million at March 31, 2023, the Company has elected to apply the practical expedient in accordance with ASC 326 and did not establish an allowance for credit losses because (i) these loans are collateral-dependent loans, which due to their settlement terms are not expected to be settled in cash but rather by the Company’s possession of the real estate collateral; and (ii) at March 31, 2023, the Company determined that the estimated fair value of the collateral at the expected realization date for these loans was sufficient to cover the carrying value of its investments in these notes receivable. Impairment charges may be required if and when such amounts are estimated to be nonrecoverable upon a realization event, which is generally at the time a loan is repaid, or in the case of foreclosure, when the underlying asset is sold; however, non-recoverability may also be concluded if it is reasonably certain that all amounts due will not be collected.

8. Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements
The fair value of an asset is defined as the exit price, which is the amount that would either be received when an asset is sold or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The guidance establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers are: Level 1, for which quoted market prices for identical instruments are available in active markets, such as money market funds, equity securities, and U.S. Treasury securities; Level 2, for which there are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the instrument, such as certain derivative instruments including interest rate caps and interest rate swaps; and Level 3, for financial instruments or other assets/liabilities that do not fall into Level 1 or Level 2 and for which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring the Company to develop its own assumptions.
Items Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
The methods and assumptions described below were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument. For significant Level 3 items, the Company has also provided the unobservable inputs.
Money Market Funds — The Company has money market funds, which at times have zero balances and are included in Cash and cash equivalents in the consolidated balance sheets, and are comprised of government securities and/or U.S. Treasury bills. These funds were classified as Level 1 as the Company used quoted prices from active markets to determine their fair values.
Marketable Equity Securities — The Company has an investment in marketable equity securities of Albertsons, which has a readily determinable market value (traded on an exchange) and is being accounted for as a Level 1 investment (Note 4).
Derivative Assets — The Company has derivative assets, which are included in Other assets, net on the consolidated balance sheets, and are comprised of interest rate swaps and caps. The derivative instruments were measured at fair value using readily observable market inputs, such as quotations on interest rates, and were classified as Level 2 as these instruments are custom, over-the-counter contracts with various bank counterparties that are not traded in an active market. See “Derivative Financial Instruments,” below.
Derivative Liabilities — The Company has derivative liabilities, which are included in Accounts payable and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets, and are comprised of interest rate swaps. These derivative instruments were measured at fair value using readily observable market inputs, such as quotations on interest rates, and were classified as Level 2 because they are custom, over-the-counter contracts with various bank counterparties that are not traded in an active market. See “Derivative Financial Instruments,” below.
The Company did not have any transfers into or out of Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 measurements during the three months ended March 31, 2023 or December 31, 2022.
The following table presents the Company’s fair value hierarchy for those assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | March 31, 2023 | | | December 31, 2022 | |
| | Level 1 | | | Level 2 | | | Level 3 | | | Level 1 | | | Level 2 | | | Level 3 | |
Assets | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Money market funds | | $ | — | | | $ | — | | | $ | — | | | $ | — | | | $ | — | | | $ | — | |
Derivative financial instruments | | | — | | | | 35,867 | | | | — | | | | — | | | | 54,902 | | | | — | |
Marketable equity securities | | | 34,227 | | | | — | | | | — | | | | 85,403 | | | | — | | | | — | |
Liabilities | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Derivative financial instruments | | | — | | | | (1,171 | ) | | | — | | | | — | | | | (46 | ) | | | — | |
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. The Company’s 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.

Marketable Equity Securities
In January 2023, following the expiration of the lock-up period and distribution of approximately 2.5 million shares by Mervyns II to its partners, the Company directly owns 1.6 million shares of Albertsons at March 31, 2023. The shares are included in marketable securities on the Company's consolidated balance sheets at fair value, with the net unrealized gains or losses reported in net income. Through Mervyns II, the Company recognized mark-to-market loss on its marketable equity securities of $2.5 million and mark-to-market gain on its marketable equity securities of $12.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, which is included in Realized and unrealized holding gains on investments and other on the Company's consolidated statements of income.
The Company recognized dividend income from marketable securities of $28.5 million and $0.5 million on a consolidated basis, of which the Company's share was $11.4 million and $0.1 million, for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, which is included in Realized and unrealized holding gains on investments and other on the Company's consolidated statements of income.

All of the Company’s derivative instruments have been designated as cash flow hedges and hedge the future cash outflows on variable-rate debt (Note 7). It is estimated that approximately $25.0 million included in Accumulated other comprehensive income related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense within the next twelve months. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, no derivatives were designated as fair value hedges or hedges of net investments in foreign operations. Additionally, the Company does not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes and currently does not have any derivatives that are not designated hedges.
Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives
The Company is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. The Company manages economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity and credit risk, primarily by managing the amount, sources and duration of its debt funding and, from time to time, through the use of derivative financial instruments. The Company enters into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that result in the receipt or payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the values of which are determined by interest rates. The Company’s derivative financial instruments are used to manage differences in the amount, timing and duration of the Company’s known or expected cash receipts and its known or expected cash payments principally related to the Company’s investments and borrowings.
The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of non-performance by the counterparties to the swaps if the derivative position has a positive balance. The Company believes it mitigates its credit risk by entering into swaps with major financial institutions. The Company continually monitors and actively manages interest costs on its variable-rate debt portfolio and may enter into additional interest rate swap positions or other derivative interest rate instruments based on market conditions.
Credit Risk-Related Contingent Features
The Company has agreements with each of its swap counterparties that contain a provision whereby if the Company defaults on certain of its unsecured indebtedness, the Company could also be declared in default on its swaps, resulting in an acceleration of payment under the swaps.

(a)The Company determined the estimated fair value of these financial instruments using a discounted cash flow model with rates that take into account the credit of the borrower or tenant, where applicable, and interest rate risk. The Company also considered the value of the underlying collateral, taking into account the quality of the collateral, the credit quality of the borrower, the time until maturity and the current market interest rate environment. Amounts exclude discounts and loan costs. The estimated market rates are between 5.01% to 13.66% for the Company's notes receivable and City Point Loan, and 6.27% to 10.82% for the Company's mortgage and other notes payable, depending on the attributes of the specific loans.
(b)Represents the Operating Partnership’s cost-method investment in Fifth Wall (Note 4). (c)The Company determined the estimated fair value of the unsecured notes payable and unsecured line of credit using quoted market prices in an open market with limited trading volume where available. In cases where there was no trading volume, the Company determined the estimated fair value using a discounted cash flow model using a rate that reflects the average yield of similar market participants.

Preferred OP Units
There were no issuances of Preferred OP Units during the three months ended March 31, 2023 or the year ended December 31, 2022.
In 1999, the Operating Partnership issued 1,580 Series A Preferred OP Units in connection with the acquisition of a property, which have a stated value of $1,000 per unit, and are entitled to a preferred quarterly distribution of the greater of (i) $22.50 (9% annually) per Series A Preferred OP Unit or (ii) the quarterly distribution attributable to a Series A Preferred OP Unit if such unit was converted into a Common OP Unit. Through March 31, 2023, 1,392 Series A Preferred OP Units were converted into 185,600 Common OP Units and then into Common Shares. The 188 remaining Series A Preferred OP Units are currently convertible into Common OP Units based on the stated value divided by $7.50. Either the Company or the holders can currently call for the conversion of the Series A Preferred OP Units at the lesser of $7.50 or the market price of the Common Shares as of the conversion date.
During 2016, the Operating Partnership issued 442,478 Common OP Units and 141,593 Series C Preferred OP Units to a third party to acquire Gotham Plaza (Note 4). The Series C Preferred OP Units have a value of $100.00 per unit and are entitled to a preferred quarterly distribution of $0.9375 per unit and are convertible into Common OP Units at a rate based on the share price at the time of conversion. If the share price is below $28.80 on the conversion date, each Series C Preferred OP Unit will be convertible into 3.4722 Common OP Units. If the share price is between $28.80 and $35.20 on the conversion date, each Series C Preferred OP Unit will be convertible into a number of Common OP Units equal to $100.00 divided by the closing share price. If the share price is above $35.20 on the conversion date, each Series C Preferred OP Unit will be convertible into 2.8409 Common OP Units. The Series C Preferred OP Units have a mandatory conversion date of December 31, 2025, at which time all units that have not been converted will automatically be converted into Common OP Units based on the same calculations. Through March 31, 2023, 15,209 Series C Preferred OP Units were converted into 52,613 Common OP Units and then into Common Shares.
Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests
Williamsburg Portfolio
In connection with the Williamsburg Portfolio acquisition in February 2022 (Note 2), the Company evaluated the Williamsburg Noncontrolling Interest ("NCI"), which represents the venture partner's one-time right to put its 50.01% interest in the property to the Company for redemption at fair value at a future date. As it was unlikely as of the acquisition date that the venture partner would receive any consideration on redemption due to the Company’s preferential returns, the initial fair value of the Williamsburg NCI was determined to be zero. The Company is required to periodically evaluate the NCI and adjust it to redemption value. At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company determined that the fair value of the Williamsburg NCI was zero.
City Point Loan
In August 2022, the Company provided a loan, through a separate lending subsidiary, to other Fund II investors in City Point, through a separate borrower subsidiary, to fund the investors' pro rata contribution necessary to complete the refinancing of the City Point debt (Note 7), of which $65.9 million was funded at closing ("City Point Loan"). The City Point Loan has a five-year term which matures on August 1, 2027 and is collateralized by the investors' equity in City Point ("City Point NCI"). Because the City Point Loan was granted in return for a capital contribution from the investors, and is collateralized by the City Point NCI, the City Point Loan, net of a $0.5 million allowance for credit loss, and accrued interest are presented as a reduction of the City Point NCI balance. The borrower subsidiary of the City Point Loan was determined to be a variable interest entity ("VIE") for which the Company is not the primary beneficiary. The maximum loss in the VIE is limited to the amount of the City Point Loan and any accrued interest.
In connection with the City Point Loan, each partner has a one-time right to put its City Point NCI to the Company for redemption in exchange for the settlement of its proportion of the City Point Loan amount plus either (i) a fixed cash amount or (ii) a cash amount equal to the value of fixed number of Common Shares of the Company on the trading day prior to the election, at a future point in time beginning in August 2023 ("redemption value"). As a result of granting these redemption rights, the City Point NCI, net of the City Point Loan, has been reclassified and presented as redeemable noncontrolling interests on the Company's consolidated balance sheets. Given the carrying value of the City Point NCI at the time of the transaction exceeded the maximum redemption value, the Company did not recognize any initial adjustment to accrete the City Point NCI to the redemption value. The Company is required to periodically evaluate the maximum redemption amount of the NCI interest and recognize an increase in the carrying value of the City Point NCI if the redemption value exceeds the then current carrying value. At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company determined that the carrying value exceeded the maximum redemption value and no adjustment was required.

13. Share Incentive and Other Compensation
Share Incentive Plan
In March and May of 2020, respectively, the Board and the Company’s shareholders, approved the 2020 Share Incentive Plan (the “2020 Plan”), which increased the number of Common Shares authorized for issuance by 2,650,000 shares to an aggregate of 2,829,953 shares. On March 22, 2023 and May 4, 2023, respectively, the Board and the Company’s shareholders approved the Amended and Restated 2020 Share Incentive Plan (the "Amended and Restated 2020 Plan") which further increased the number of Common Shares authorized for issuance by 3,100,000 to an aggregate of 3,883,564 shares (Note 16). The 2020 Plan and the Amended and Restated 2020 Plan authorize the Company to issue options, Restricted Shares, LTIP Units and other securities (collectively “Awards”) to, among others, the Company’s officers, trustees, and employees. At March 31, 2023 a total of 783,564 shares remained available to be issued under the 2020 Plan.
Restricted Shares and LTIP Units - Employees
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, and the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company issued 739,734 and 603,267 LTIP Units and 22,314 and 15,878 restricted share units (“Restricted Share Units”), respectively, to employees of the Company pursuant to the 2020 Plan. These awards were measured at their fair value on the grant date, incorporating the following factors:
•A portion of these annual equity awards is granted in performance-based Restricted Share Units or LTIP Units that may be earned based on the Company’s attainment of specified relative total shareholder returns (“Relative TSR”) hurdles or specified same-property net operating income growth ("Absolute SSNOI Growth").
•In the event the Relative TSR percentile falls between the 25th percentile and the 50th percentile, the Relative TSR vesting percentage is determined using a straight-line linear interpolation between 50% and 100% and in the event that the Relative TSR percentile falls between the 50th percentile and 75th percentile, the Relative TSR vesting percentage is determined using a straight-line linear interpolation between 100% and 200%.
•Fifty percent (50%) of the performance-based LTIP Units will vest based on the Company’s total shareholder return (“TSR”) for the three-year forward-looking performance period relative to the constituents of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
(“NAREIT”) Shopping Center Property Subsector and twenty five percent (25%) on the Company’s TSR for the three-year forward-looking performance period as compared to the constituents of the NAREIT Retail Property Sector (both on a non-weighted basis).
•Twenty five percent (25%) of the performance-based LTIP Units will vest based on the Company's same-property net operating income ("SSNOI") growth for the three-year forward-looking performance period. If the Company achieves annualized SSNOI growth between 2% and 3%, the Absolute SSNOI Growth vesting percentage is determined using a straight-line linear interpolation between 50% and 100% and in the event that the Company achieves annualized SSNOI growth between 3% and 4%, the Absolute SSNOI Growth vesting percentage is determined using a straight-line linear interpolation between 100% and 200%.
•If the Company’s performance fails to achieve the aforementioned hurdles at the culmination of the three-year performance period, all performance-based shares will be forfeited. Any earned performance-based shares vest 60% at the end of the performance period, with the remaining 40% of shares vesting ratably over the next two years.
For valuation of the 2023 and 2022 Performance Shares, a Monte Carlo simulation was used to estimate the fair values of the Relative TSR portion based on probability of satisfying the market conditions and the projected share prices at the time of payments, discounted to the valuation dates over the three-year performance periods. The assumptions include volatility (48.0% and 49.0%) and risk-free interest rates of (4.3% and 1.7%) for 2023 and 2022, respectively. The total fair value of the 2023 and 2022 Performance Shares will be expensed over the vesting period.
The total fair value of the above Restricted Share Units and LTIP Units as of the grant date was $11.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and $13.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. Total long-term incentive compensation expense, including the expense related to the 2020 Plan, was $2.9 million and $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and is recorded in General and administrative in the consolidated statements of income.
Restricted Shares and LTIP Units - Board of Trustees
In addition, members of the Board have been issued shares and units under the 2020 Plan. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company issued 2,433 Restricted Shares as compensation to a new Trustee of the Company. These Restricted Shares vest over three years with 33% vesting May 9, 2023 and the remaining amount vesting ratably on May 9, 2024 and May 9, 2025. The Restricted Shares do not carry voting rights or other rights of Common Shares until vesting and may not be transferred, assigned or pledged until the recipients have a vested non-forfeitable right to such shares. Dividends are not paid currently on unvested Restricted Shares, but are paid cumulatively from the issuance date through the applicable vesting date of such Restricted Shares. Total trustee fee expense, including the expense related to the 2020 Plan, was $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, and is recorded in General and administrative in the consolidated statements of income.
Long-Term Investment Alignment Program
In 2009, the Company adopted the Long-Term Investment Alignment Program (the “Program”) pursuant to which the Company may grant awards to employees, entitling them to receive up to 25% of any potential future payments of Promote to the Operating Partnership from Funds III, IV and V. The Company has granted such awards to employees representing 25% of the potential Promote payments from Fund III to the Operating Partnership, 23.1% of the potential Promote payments from Fund IV to the Operating Partnership and 18.0% of the potential Promote payments from Fund V to the Operating Partnership. Payments to senior executives under the Program require further Board approval at the time any potential payments are due pursuant to these grants. Compensation relating to these awards will be recognized in each reporting period in which Board approval is granted.
As payments to other employees are not subject to further Board approval, compensation relating to these awards will be recorded based on the estimated fair value at each reporting period in accordance with ASC Topic 718, Compensation– Stock Compensation. The awards in connection with Fund IV were determined to have no intrinsic value as of March 31, 2023 or December 31, 2022.
The Company did not recognize any compensation expense related to the Program for the three months ended March 31, 2023. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company recognized compensation expense related to the Program of $0.4 million and $0.1 million for Funds III and V, respectively.

Other Plans
On a combined basis, the Company incurred a total of $0.2 million and $0.1 million of compensation expense related to the following employee benefit plans for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Employee Share Purchase Plan
The Acadia Realty Trust Employee Share Purchase Plan (the “Purchase Plan”), allows eligible employees of the Company to purchase Common Shares through payroll deductions for a maximum aggregate issuance of 200,000 Common Shares. The Purchase Plan provides for employees to purchase Common Shares on a quarterly basis at a 15% discount to the closing price of the Company’s Common Shares on either the first day or the last day of the quarter, whichever is lower. A participant may not purchase more than $25,000 in Common Shares per year. Compensation expense will be recognized by the Company to the extent of the above discount to the closing price of the Common Shares with respect to the applicable quarter. A total of 2,837 and 1,460 Common Shares were purchased by employees under the Purchase Plan for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and 185,806 shares remained available to be issued under the Purchase Plan.
Deferred Share Plan
The Company maintains a Trustee Deferral and Distribution Election program, under which the participating Trustees earn deferred compensation.

14. Earnings Per Common Share
Basic earnings per Common Share is computed by dividing net income attributable to Common Shareholders by the weighted-average Common Shares outstanding (Note 10). During the periods presented, the Company had unvested LTIP Units which provide for non-forfeitable rights to dividend equivalent payments. Accordingly, these unvested LTIP Units are considered participating securities and are included in the computation of basic earnings per Common Share pursuant to the two-class method.
Diluted earnings per Common Share reflects the potential dilution of the conversion of obligations and the assumed exercises of securities including the effects of Restricted Share Units issued under the Company’s 2020 Plan (Note 13). The effect of such shares is excluded from the calculation of earnings per share when anti-dilutive as indicated in the table below.
The effect of the conversion of Common OP Units is not reflected in the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share, as they are exchangeable for Common Shares on a one-for-one basis. The income allocable to such units is allocated on this same basis and reflected as noncontrolling interests in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. As such, the assumed conversion of these units would have no net impact on the determination of diluted earnings per share.

15. Variable Interest Entities
Pursuant to GAAP consolidation guidance, the Company consolidates certain VIEs for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. The Operating Partnership is considered a VIE in which the Company is the primary beneficiary because the limited partners do not have substantive kick-out or participating rights. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Operating Partnership held interests in the Funds and two consolidated entities owning properties that were determined to be VIEs in which the Company is the primary beneficiary as it has (i) the power to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance, and (ii) the obligation to absorb the entity's losses or receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the entity.
The majority of the operations of these VIEs are funded with fees earned from investment opportunities or cash flows generated from the properties. The Company has not provided financial support to any of these VIEs that it was not previously contractually required to provide, which consists primarily of funding any capital commitments and capital expenditures, which are deemed necessary to continue to operate the entity and any operating cash shortfalls the entity may experience.
Since the Company conducts its business through and substantially all of its interests are held by the Operating Partnership, the assets and liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets represent the assets and liabilities of the Operating Partnership. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the consolidated balance sheets include the following assets and liabilities of the consolidated VIEs of the Operating Partnership:

(a)At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, includes total VIE assets of $678.9 million and $678.1 million, respectively, and total VIE liabilities of $206.6 million and $200.4 million, respectively, related to third-party mortgages that are collateralized by the real estate assets of City Point, a Fund II property, and 27 East 61st Street, 801 Madison Avenue, and 1035 Third Avenue, all Fund IV properties, of which $72.5 million is guaranteed by the Operating Partnership (Note 7). The remaining VIE assets are generally encumbered by third-party non-recourse mortgage debt and are collateral under the respective mortgages and are therefore restricted and can only be used to settle the corresponding liabilities of the VIE. The remaining VIE assets may only be used to settle obligations of these consolidated VIEs and the remaining VIE liabilities are only the obligations of these consolidated VIEs and they do not have recourse to the Operating Partnership or the Company.
The Company also holds variable interest in certain VIEs which are not consolidated as it is determined that the Company is not the primary beneficiary (Note 4). The Company's involvement with such entities is in the form of direct and indirect equity interests and fee arrangements. The maximum exposure to loss is limited to the amount of the Company's equity investment in these VIEs, except with regard to the Company's remaining $3.2 million construction commitment related to its investment in 1238 Wisconsin. The Company's aggregate investment in the unconsolidated VIEs assets was $43.0 million and $41.5 million at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The Company's aggregate investment in unconsolidated VIE liabilities was $50.4 million and $49.2 million at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
OVERVIEW
As of March 31, 2023, we own or have an ownership interest in 200 properties held through our Core Portfolio and Funds. Our Core Portfolio consists of those properties either 100% owned, or partially owned through joint venture interests, by the Operating Partnership, or subsidiaries thereof, not including those properties owned through our Funds. These properties primarily consist of street and urban retail, and suburban shopping centers. Our Funds are investment vehicles through which our Operating Partnership and outside institutional investors invest in primarily opportunistic and value-add retail real estate. Currently, we have active investments in four Funds. A summary of our wholly-owned and partially-owned retail properties and their physical occupancies at March 31, 2023 is as follows:

Our primary business objective is to acquire and manage commercial retail properties that will provide cash for distributions to shareholders while also creating the potential for capital appreciation to enhance investor returns. Generally, we focus on the following fundamentals to achieve this objective:
•Own and operate a Core Portfolio of high-quality retail properties located primarily in high-barrier-to-entry, densely populated metropolitan areas and create value through accretive development and re-tenanting activities coupled with the acquisition of high-quality assets that have the long-term potential to outperform the asset class as part of our Core asset recycling and acquisition initiative.
•Generate additional external growth through an opportunistic yet disciplined acquisition program within our Funds. We target transactions with high inherent opportunity for the creation of additional value through:
ovalue-add investments in street retail properties, located in established and “next generation” submarkets, with re-tenanting or repositioning opportunities,
oopportunistic acquisitions of well-located real-estate anchored by distressed retailers, and
oother opportunistic acquisitions which may include high-yield acquisitions and purchases of distressed debt.
•Some of these investments historically have also included, and may in the future include, joint ventures with private equity investors for the purpose of making investments in operating retailers with significant embedded value in their real estate assets.
•Maintain a strong and flexible balance sheet through conservative financial practices while ensuring access to sufficient capital to fund future growth.

•extended two Fund mortgages totaling $58.0 million (excluding principal reductions of $0.2 million);
•through Fund V, entered into one new mortgage at an unconsolidated property for $39.7 million, and refinanced a $36.0 million mortgage loan at an unconsolidated property; and
•made scheduled principal payments of $2.0 million.
We also repaid one Fund mortgage at a property for $31.9 million using proceeds from the Fund V subscription line, which was extended for six months, and refinanced one Fund mortgage at a property for $14.6 million with a new mortgage of $16.5 million (Note 16);
Structured Financing Investments
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we funded $2.0 million of a $12.8 million construction loan commitment to an unconsolidated venture (Note 4). Through Fund V, we refinanced a $31.7 million bridge loan at an unconsolidated property that was originated by Fund V at acquisition with the aforementioned $36.0 million mortgage loan at an unconsolidated property.
Economic and Other Considerations
The year ended December 31, 2022 and quarter ended March 31, 2023 were impacted by significant volatility in global markets, largely driven by rising inflation, rising interest rates, slowing economic growth, geopolitical uncertainty and instability in the banking sector following multiple bank failures. The rate hikes enacted by the Federal Reserve have had a significant impact on interest rate indexes such as LIBOR, SOFR and the Prime Rate and cost of borrowing. We manage our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates primarily through the use of fixed-rate debt and interest rate swap and cap agreements. We believe we manage our properties in a cost-conscious manner to minimize recurring operational expenses and utilize multi-year contracts to alleviate the impact of inflation on our business and our tenants. We also continue to see consumer confidence and we expect to continue to add value to our portfolio by executing on our current leasing momentum, our active development and redevelopment projects, and leasing pipeline. Except for increased interest costs, we have not experienced any material negative impacts at this time and we intend to actively manage our business to respond to the ongoing economic and social impact from such events.
On April 23, 2023, Bed Bath and Beyond, Inc. (”Bed Bath and Beyond”) filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection causing them to reject their leases at several of our properties. Bed Bath and Beyond’s leases represent two locations within our Core Portfolio and three locations in our Fund Portfolio, with aggregate GLA of 124,432 square feet and 59,391 square feet, representing 2.1% and 0.7% of Core and Fund GLA, respectively. During the quarter ended March 31, 2023, we signed a new 15-year lease for the entirety of Bed Bath and Beyond store at one of the locations in the Core Portfolio. While our exposure in the Fund portfolio is limited, and we have not experienced any material negative impacts at this time, the bankruptcy of any of our tenants, which may cause them to reject their leases, or not to renew their leases as they expire, could have an adverse effect on our cash flows or property values.

Core Portfolio
The results of operations for our Core Portfolio segment are depicted in the table above under the headings labeled “Core.” Segment net income attributable to Acadia for our Core Portfolio decreased $3.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the prior year period as a result of the changes further described below.
Revenues for our Core Portfolio increased $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the prior year period primarily due to (i) a $2.5 million increase from Core Portfolio property acquisitions in 2022 (Note 2), and (ii) $1.1 million from lease up within the Core Portfolio. These increases were offset by (i) a $1.2 million credit loss benefit in 2022 related to the conversion of tenants from cash to accrual basis, and (ii) a $0.7 million increase in tenant credit loss in 2023.
Depreciation and amortization for our Core Portfolio increased $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the prior year period primarily due to Core Portfolio property acquisitions in 2022 (Note 2).
Property operating expenses and real estate taxes for our Core Portfolio increased $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the prior year period primarily due to an increase in non-recurring repair and maintenance in 2023.
Interest expense for our Core Portfolio increased $3.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the prior year period primarily due to higher average interest rates in 2023 (Note 7).
Funds (all amounts below are consolidated amounts and are not representative of our proportionate share)
The results of operations for our Funds segment are depicted in the table above under the headings labeled “Funds.” Segment net income attributable to Acadia for the Funds decreased $4.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the prior year period as a result of the changes described below.
Revenues for the Funds decreased $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the prior year period primarily due to (i) a $2.4 million decrease from Fund property dispositions in 2022 (Note 2), and (ii) a $0.5 million credit loss benefit related to the conversion of tenants from cash to accrual basis in 2022. These decreases were partially offset by an increase of a $1.8 million related to tenant lease up within the Funds in 2023.
46
Depreciation and amortization for the Funds decreased $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the prior year period primarily due to Fund property dispositions in 2022.
Gain on disposition of properties for the Funds decreased $28.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the prior year period due to the sale of Cortlandt Crossing at Fund III, Mayfair and Dauphin Plaza at Fund IV and New Towne parcel at Fund V in 2022 (Note 2).
Realized and unrealized holding gains on investments and other for the Funds increased $10.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the prior year period primarily due to a $28.2 million increase in dividend income from Albertsons in 2023. This increase was offset by (i) a $12.6 million increase in the mark-to-market adjustment on the Investment in Albertsons in 2022, (ii) a $2.0 million decrease in the mark-to-market adjustment on the Investment in Albertsons in 2023, and (iii) a $1.4 million distribution from the Storage Post Management Company in 2022.
Equity in (losses) earnings of unconsolidated affiliates for the Funds decreased $3.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the prior year period primarily due to new unconsolidated Fund acquisitions in 2022 and 2023 (Note 4).
Net loss attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests for the Funds increased $2.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the prior year period due to the City Point Loan in August 2022 (Note 10).
Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests for the Funds increased $16.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the prior year period based on the noncontrolling interests’ share of the variances discussed above. Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests in the Funds includes asset management fees earned by the Company of $2.5 million and $2.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Structured Financing
Interest and other income for the Structured Financing portfolio increased $1.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the prior year period primarily due to new loans issued during 2022 (Note 3).
Unallocated
The Company does not allocate general and administrative expenses and income taxes to its reportable segments. These unallocated amounts are depicted in the table above under the headings labeled “Total.” Unallocated general and administrative expense decreased $2.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the prior year period primarily due to $2.0 million related to acquisition costs incurred in the prior year but not in the current period (Note 2).
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
Net Property Operating Income
The following discussion of net property operating income (“NOI”) and rent spreads on new and renewal leases includes the activity from both our consolidated and our pro-rata share of unconsolidated properties within our Core Portfolio. Our Funds invest primarily in properties that typically require significant leasing and development. Given that the Funds are finite-life investment vehicles, these properties are sold following stabilization. For these reasons, we believe NOI and rent spreads are not meaningful measures for our Fund investments.
NOI represents property revenues less property expenses. We consider NOI and rent spreads on new and renewal leases for our Core Portfolio to be appropriate supplemental disclosures of portfolio operating performance due to their widespread acceptance and use within the REIT investor and analyst communities. NOI and rent spreads on new and renewal leases are presented to assist investors in analyzing our property performance, however, our method of calculating these may be different from methods used by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs.

Funds from Operations
We consider funds from operations (“FFO”) as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) to be an appropriate supplemental disclosure of operating performance due to its widespread acceptance and use within the REIT investor and analyst communities. FFO is presented to assist investors in analyzing our performance. It is helpful as it excludes various items included in net income that are not indicative of the operating performance, such as gains (losses) from sales of depreciated property, depreciation and amortization, and impairment of real estate. Our method of calculating FFO may be different from methods used by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs. FFO does not represent cash generated from operations as defined by GAAP and is not indicative of cash available to fund all cash needs, including distributions. It should not be considered as an alternative to net income for the purpose of evaluating our performance or to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. Consistent with the NAREIT definition, we define FFO as net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (losses) from sales of depreciated property and impairment of depreciable real estate, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Also consistent with NAREIT’s definition of FFO, the Company has elected to include gains and losses incidental to its main business (including those related to its RCP investments, such as Albertsons) in FFO. A reconciliation of net (loss) income attributable to Acadia to FFO follows (dollars in thousands, except per share amounts):

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Uses of Liquidity and Cash Requirements
Generally, our principal uses of liquidity are (i) distributions to our shareholders and OP unit holders, (ii) investments, which include the funding of our capital committed to the Funds and property acquisitions and development/re-tenanting activities within our Core Portfolio, (iii) distributions to our Fund investors, (iv) debt service and loan repayments and (v) share repurchases.
Distributions
In order to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, we must distribute at least 90% of our taxable income to our shareholders. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we paid dividends and distributions on our Common Shares and Preferred OP Units totaling $17.1 million.
Investments
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, Fund V acquired one unconsolidated property, Mohawk Commons, located in Schenectady, New York, for $62.1 million, inclusive of transaction costs (Note 4).
Structured Financing Investments
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we funded $2.0 million of a $12.8 million construction loan commitment to an unconsolidated venture (Note 4).
Capital Commitments
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we made capital contributions aggregating $7.9 million to our Funds. At March 31, 2023, our share of the remaining capital commitments to our Funds aggregated $36.9 million as follows:
•$0 to Fund II – During August 2020, a recallable distribution of $15.7 million was made by Mervyns II to its investors, of which our share was $4.5 million. During 2021 and 2022, Mervyns II recalled $11.9 million and $3.8 million, respectively, of the $15.7 million, of which our share is $3.4 million and $1.2 million, respectively.
•$0.5 million to Fund III – Fund III was launched in May 2007 with total committed capital of $450.0 million, of which our original share was $89.6 million. During 2015, we acquired an additional interest, which had an original capital commitment of $20.9 million.
•$9.7 million to Fund IV – Fund IV was launched in May 2012 with total committed capital of $530.0 million, of which our original share was $122.5 million.
•$26.7 million to Fund V – Fund V was launched in August 2016 with total committed capital of $520.0 million, of which our original share was $104.5 million.

Development Activities
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, capitalized costs associated with development activities totaled $3.2 million (Note 2). At March 31, 2023, we had a total of nine consolidated and one unconsolidated project under development or redevelopment, for which the estimated total cost to complete these projects through 2025 was $49.0 million to $66.2 million, and our estimated share was approximately $28.8 million to $38.3 million. Substantially all remaining development and redevelopment costs are discretionary, which could be affected by various risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, the effects of the current inflationary environment, rising interest rates, and other risks detailed in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Debt
A summary of our consolidated debt, which includes the full amount of Fund related obligations and excludes our pro rata share of debt at our unconsolidated subsidiaries, is as follows (in thousands):
| | | | | | | | |
| | March 31, | | | December 31, | |
| | 2023 | | | 2022 | |
| | | | | | |
Total Debt - Fixed and Effectively Fixed Rate | | $ | 1,383,725 | | | $ | 1,440,773 | |
Total Debt - Variable Rate | | | 374,408 | | | | 364,641 | |
| | | 1,758,133 | | | | 1,805,414 | |
Net unamortized debt issuance costs | | | (11,844 | ) | | | (12,697 | ) |
Unamortized premium | | | 317 | | | | 343 | |
Total Indebtedness | | $ | 1,746,606 | | | $ | 1,793,060 | |
As of March 31, 2023, our consolidated indebtedness aggregated $1,758.1 million, excluding unamortized premium of $0.3 million and net unamortized loan costs of $11.8 million, and were collateralized by 32 properties and related tenant leases. Stated interest rates on our outstanding indebtedness ranged from 3.35% to LIBOR + 3.65% with maturities that ranged from April 28, 2023 to April 15, 2035, without regard to available extension options. With respect to the debt maturing in April and May 2023, we have refinanced two Fund mortgages and extended the Fund V subscription line, and we are actively pursuing refinancing the remaining obligations (Note 16), though there can be no assurance that we can refinance on favorable terms or at all. Taking into consideration $1,207.5 million of notional principal under variable to fixed-rate swap agreements currently in effect, $1,383.7 million of the portfolio debt, or 78.7%, was fixed at a 4.42% weighted-average interest rate and $374.4 million, or 21.3% was floating at a 6.64% weighted average interest rate as of March 31, 2023. Our variable-rate debt includes $144.5 million of debt subject to interest rate caps.
Without regard to available extension options, at March 31, 2023 there was $283.6 million of debt maturing in 2023 at a weighted-average interest rate of 6.52%; there was $5.1 million of scheduled principal amortization due in the remainder of 2023; and our share of scheduled remaining 2023 principal payments and maturities on our unconsolidated debt was $46.8 million. In addition, $251.5 million of our total consolidated debt and $45.0 million of our pro-rata share of unconsolidated debt will come due in 2024. With respect to the debt maturing in 2023 and 2024, we have options to extend consolidated debt aggregating $1.8 million and $0.0 million at March 31, 2023, respectively; however, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully execute any or all of its available extension options. For the remaining indebtedness, we may not have sufficient cash on hand to repay such indebtedness, and, therefore, we expect to refinance at least a portion of this indebtedness or select other alternatives based on market conditions as these loans mature; however, there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain financing on acceptable terms or at all. Our ability to obtain financing could be affected by various risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, the effects of the current inflationary environment, rising interest rates, and other risks detailed in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Share Repurchase Program
We maintain a share repurchase program under which $122.5 million remains available as of March 31, 2023 (Note 10). We did not repurchase any shares under this program during the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Our primary sources of capital for funding our short-term (less than 12 months) and long-term (12 months and longer) liquidity needs include (i) the issuance of both public equity and OP Units, (ii) the issuance of both secured and unsecured debt, (iii) unfunded capital commitments from noncontrolling interests within our Funds, (iv) future sales of existing properties, (v) repayments of structured financing investments, (vi) liquidation of marketable securities, and (vii) cash on hand and future cash flow from operating activities. Our cash on hand in our consolidated subsidiaries at March 31, 2023 totaled $17.1 million. Our remaining sources of liquidity are described further below.
52
ATM Program
We have an ATM Program (Note 10) that provides us with an efficient and low-cost vehicle for raising capital through public equity issuances on an as-we-go basis to fund our capital needs. Through this program, we have been able to effectively “match-fund” the required capital for our Core Portfolio and our share of Fund acquisitions through the issuance of Common Shares over extended periods employing a price averaging strategy. In addition, from time to time, we have issued and may issue, equity in follow-on offerings separate from our ATM Program. Net proceeds raised through our ATM Program and follow-on offerings are primarily used for acquisitions, both for our Core Portfolio and our pro-rata share of Fund acquisitions, and for general corporate purposes. We did not make any sales under the ATM program during the three months ended March 31, 2023.
Fund Capital
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, Fund V called for capital contributions of $39.1 million, of which our aggregate share was $7.9 million. At March 31, 2023, unfunded capital commitments from noncontrolling interests within Funds II, III, IV and V were zero, $1.4 million, $32.2 million and $106.3 million, respectively.
Other Transactions
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we recognized cash dividends totaling $28.2 million related to the special dividend received from Mervyns II investment in Albertsons, of which our share was $11.3 million (Note 4). The contractual lock-up restrictions on our investment in Albertsons expired in January 2023, and we now own 1.6 million shares directly, which had a fair value of $34.2 million at March 31, 2023 (Note 4, Note 8).
Structured Financing Repayments
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, Fund V refinanced a $31.7 million bridge loan at an unconsolidated property that was originated by Fund V at acquisition of an unconsolidated property. We also have one Structured Financing investment in the amount of $21.6 million including accrued interest (exclusive of default interest and other amounts due on the loan that have not been recognized) that previously matured and has not been repaid (Note 3).
Financing and Debt
As of March 31, 2023, we had $218.6 million of additional capacity under existing Core Portfolio and Fund revolving debt facilities. In addition, at that date within our Core and Fund portfolios, we had 94 unleveraged consolidated properties with an aggregate carrying value of approximately $1.8 billion, although there can be no assurance that we would be able to obtain financing for these properties at favorable terms, if at all.
Inflation and Economic Condition Considerations
The year ended December 31, 2022 and quarter ended March 31, 2023 were impacted by significant volatility in global markets, largely driven by rising inflation, rising interest rates, slowing economic growth, geopolitical uncertainty and instability in the banking sector following multiple bank failures. Central banks have responded to rapidly rising inflation by tightening monetary policies that are likely to create headwinds to economic growth. The Federal Reserve has raised interest rates nine times since January 2022, and has signaled that further interest rate increases may be forthcoming throughout 2023 and into 2024. The rate hikes enacted by the Federal Reserve have had a significant impact on interest rate indexes such as LIBOR, SOFR and the Prime Rate. As of March 31, 2023, approximately 78.7% of our outstanding debt is fixed or effectively fixed rate with the remaining 21.3% indexed to LIBOR, SOFR or Prime plus an applicable margin per the loan agreement. As of March 31, 2023, we were counterparty to 34 interest rate swap agreements and four interest rate cap agreements, all of which qualify for and are designated as hedging instruments, which helps to alleviate the impact of rising interest rates on our operations.
We believe we manage our properties in a cost-conscious manner to minimize recurring operational expenses and utilize multi-year contracts to alleviate the impact of inflation on our business and our tenants. Most of our leases require tenants to pay their share of operating expenses, including common area maintenance, real estate taxes and insurance, thereby reducing our exposure to increases in costs and operating expenses resulting from inflation. These provisions are designed to partially mitigate the impact of inflation; however, current inflation levels are much greater than the contractual rent increases we obtain from our tenant base. We also continue to see consumer confidence and we expect to continue to add value to our portfolio through executing on our current leasing momentum, our active development and redevelopment projects, and leasing pipeline.
On April 23, 2023, Bed Bath and Beyond filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection causing them to reject their leases at several of our properties. Bed Bath and Beyond’s leases represents two locations within our Core Portfolio and three locations in our Fund Portfolio. The bankruptcy of any of our tenants, which may cause them to reject their leases, or not to renew their leases as they expire, could have an adverse effect on our cash flows or property values.
53
While we have not experienced any material negative impacts at this time, we intend to actively manage our business to respond to the ongoing economic and social impact from such events. See Risk Factors in Part I, Item 1A, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
HISTORICAL CASH FLOW
The following table compares the historical cash flow for the three months ended March 31, 2023 with the cash flow for the three months ended March 31, 2022 (in millions, totals may not add due to rounding):
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Three Months Ended March 31, | |
| | 2023 | | | 2022 | | | Variance | |
| | | | | | | | | |
Net cash provided by operating activities | | $ | 59.4 | | | $ | 26.5 | | | $ | 32.9 | |
Net cash used in investing activities | | | (3.6 | ) | | | (150.1 | ) | | | 146.5 | |
Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities | | | (56.7 | ) | | | 144.0 | | | | (200.7 | ) |
(Decrease) increase in cash and restricted cash | | $ | (0.8 | ) | | $ | 20.5 | | | $ | (21.3 | ) |
Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities primarily consists of cash inflows from dividend income and rental revenue, and cash outflows for property operating expenses, general and administrative expenses and interest and debt expense.
Our operating activities provided $32.9 million more cash for the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022, primarily due to the $28.2 million dividend received from our investment in Albertsons. The remainder of the increase is attributable to an increase in cash receipts from tenants.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities is impacted by our investments in and advances to unconsolidated affiliates, the timing and extent of our real estate development, capital improvements, and acquisition and disposition activities during the period.
Our investing activities used $146.5 million less cash for the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022, primarily due to (i) $164.2 million less cash used for the acquisition of properties, (ii) $71.0 million less cash used in our investments in and advances to unconsolidated affiliates, and (iii) $32.8 million more cash received from return of capital from unconsolidated affiliates. These sources of cash were primarily offset by (i) $116.6 million less cash received from the disposition of properties, and (ii) $4.6 million more cash used in development, construction, and property improvements.
Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities is impacted by the timing and extent of issuances of debt and equity securities, distributions paid to common shareholders and unitholders of the Operating Partnership as well as principal and other payments associated with our outstanding indebtedness.
Our financing activities provided $200.7 million less cash during the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022, primarily from (i) $111.5 million less cash provided by the sale of Common Shares, (ii) $67.9 million less cash provided by contributions from noncontrolling interests, (iii) $17.9 million less cash provided by net borrowings, and (iv) $3.7 million more cash used for dividends paid to Common Shareholders.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We have the following investments made through joint ventures (that may include, among others, tenancy-in common and other similar investments) for the purpose of investing in operating properties. We account for these investments using the equity method of accounting. As such, our financial statements reflect our investment and our share of income and loss from, but not the individual assets and liabilities, of these joint ventures.
See Note 4 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for a discussion of our unconsolidated investments. The Operating Partnership’s pro-rata share of unconsolidated non-recourse debt related to those investments is as follows (dollars in millions):

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon our Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these Consolidated Financial Statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. We base our estimates on historical experience and assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe there have been no material changes to the items that we disclosed as our critical accounting policies under Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” in our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
Reference is made to Note 1 for information about recently issued accounting pronouncements.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
Information as of March 31, 2023
Our primary market risk exposure is to changes in interest rates related to our mortgage and other debt. See Note 7 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for certain quantitative details related to our mortgage and other debt.
55
Currently, we manage our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates primarily through the use of fixed-rate debt and interest rate swap and cap agreements. As of March 31, 2023, we had total mortgage and other notes payable of $1,758.1 million, excluding the unamortized premium of $0.3 million and net unamortized debt issuance costs of $11.8 million, of which $1,383.7 million, or 78.7% was fixed-rate, inclusive of debt with rates fixed through the use of derivative financial instruments, and $374.4 million, or 21.3%, was variable-rate based upon LIBOR, SOFR or Prime rates plus certain spreads. As of March 31, 2023, we were party to 34 interest rate swaps and four interest rate cap agreements to hedge our exposure to changes in interest rates with respect to $1,207.5 million and $144.5 million of variable-rate debt, respectively. For a discussion of the risks associated with the discontinuation of LIBOR, see Item 1A. “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Liquidity and Indebtedness on our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 — If we decided to employ higher leverage levels, we would be subject to increased debt service requirements and a higher risk of default on our debt obligations, which could adversely affect our financial conditions, cash flows and ability to make distributions to our shareholders. In addition, increases or changes in interest rates could cause our borrowing costs to rise and may limit our ability to refinance debt”.
The following table sets forth information as of March 31, 2023 concerning our long-term debt obligations, including principal cash flows by scheduled maturity (without regard to available extension options) and weighted average effective interest rates of maturing amounts (dollars in millions):

| | $ | 4.2 | | | $ | 201.9 | | | $ | 206.1 | | | | |
Without regard to available extension options, in the remainder of 2023, $288.7 million of our total consolidated debt and $46.8 million of our pro-rata share of unconsolidated outstanding debt will become due. In addition, $251.5 million of our total consolidated debt and $45.0 million of our pro-rata share of unconsolidated debt will become due in 2024. As it relates to the aforementioned maturing debt in 2023 and 2024, we
56
have options to extend consolidated debt aggregating $1.8 million and $0.0 million, respectively; however, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able successfully execute any or all of its available extension options. As we intend on refinancing some or all of such debt at the then-existing market interest rates, which may be greater than the current interest rates, our interest expense would increase by approximately $6.3 million annually if the interest rate on the refinanced debt increased by 100 basis points. After giving effect to noncontrolling interests, our share of this increase would be $1.2 million. Interest expense on our variable-rate debt of $374.4 million, net of variable to fixed-rate swap agreements currently in effect, as of March 31, 2023, would increase $3.7 million if corresponding rate indices increased by 100 basis points. After giving effect to noncontrolling interests, our share of this increase would be $1.3 million. We may seek additional variable-rate financing if and when pricing and other commercial and financial terms warrant. As such, we would consider hedging against the interest rate risk related to such additional variable-rate debt through interest rate swaps and protection agreements, or other means.
Based on our outstanding debt balances as of March 31, 2023, the fair value of our total consolidated outstanding debt would decrease by approximately $5.5 million if interest rates increase by 1%. Conversely, if interest rates decrease by 1%, the fair value of our total outstanding debt would increase by approximately $4.8 million.
As of March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, we had consolidated notes receivable of $124.0 million and $123.9 million, respectively. We determined the estimated fair value of our notes receivable by discounting future cash receipts utilizing a discount rate equivalent to the rate at which similar notes receivable would be originated under conditions then existing.
Based on our outstanding notes receivable balances as of March 31, 2023, the fair value of our total outstanding notes receivable would decrease by approximately $2.6 million if interest rates increase by 1%. Conversely, if interest rates decrease by 1%, the fair value of our total outstanding notes receivable would increase by approximately $0.4 million.
Summarized Information as of December 31, 2022
As of December 31, 2022, we had total mortgage and other notes payable of $1,805.4 million, excluding the unamortized premium of $0.3 million and unamortized debt issuance costs of $12.7 million, of which $1,440.8 million, or 79.8% was fixed-rate, inclusive of debt with rates fixed through the use of derivative financial instruments, and $364.6 million, or 20.2%, was variable-rate based upon LIBOR rates plus certain spreads. As of December 31, 2022, we were party to 36 interest rate swap and three interest rate cap agreements to hedge our exposure to changes in interest rates with respect to $1,264.0 million and $103.8 million of LIBOR or SOFR-based variable-rate debt, respectively.
Interest expense on our variable-rate debt of $364.6 million as of December 31, 2022, would have increased $3.6 million if corresponding rate indices increased by 100 basis points. Based on our outstanding debt balances as of December 31, 2022, the fair value of our total outstanding debt would have decreased by approximately $0.4 million if interest rates increased by 1%. Conversely, if interest rates decreased by 1%, the fair value of our total outstanding debt would have increased by approximately $2.6 million.
Changes in Market Risk Exposures from December 31, 2022 to March 31, 2023
Our interest rate risk exposure from December 31, 2022, to March 31, 2023, has increased on an absolute basis, as the $364.4 million of variable-rate debt as of December 31, 2022 has increased to $374.4 million as of March 31, 2023. As a percentage of our overall debt, our interest rate exposure has increased as our variable-rate debt accounted for 20.2% of our unconsolidated debt as of December 31, 2022 compared to 21.3% as of March 31, 2023.
