EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this "Report") combines the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, of Regency Centers Corporation and Regency Centers, L.P. Unless stated otherwise or the context otherwise requires, references to "Regency Centers Corporation" or the "Parent Company" mean Regency Centers Corporation and its controlled subsidiaries and references to "Regency Centers, L.P." or the "Operating Partnership" mean Regency Centers, L.P. and its controlled subsidiaries. The terms "the Company," "Regency Centers," "Regency," "we," "our," and "us" as used in this Report mean the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership, collectively.

The Parent Company is a real estate investment trust ("REIT") and the general partner of the Operating Partnership. As the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, the Parent Company has exclusive control of the Operating Partnership's day-to-day management. The Operating Partnership's capital includes general and limited common partnership units ("Common Units"). As of March 31, 2024, the Parent Company owned approximately 99.4% of the Common Units in the Operating Partnership. The remaining Common Units, which are all limited Common Units, are owned by third party investors. In addition to the Common Units, the Operating Partnership has also issued two series of preferred units: the 6.250% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units (the “Series A Preferred Units”) and the 5.875% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units (the “Series B Preferred Units”). The Parent Company currently owns all of the Series A Preferred Units and Series B Preferred Units. The Series A Preferred Units and Series B Preferred Units are sometimes referred to collectively as the “Preferred Units."

The Company believes combining the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q of the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership into this single report provides the following benefits:

•

Enhances investors' understanding of the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership by enabling investors to view the business as a whole in the same manner as management views and operates the business;

•

Eliminates duplicative disclosure and provides a more streamlined and readable presentation; and

•

Creates time and cost efficiencies through the preparation of one combined report instead of two separate reports.

Management operates the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership as one business. The management of the Parent Company consists of the same individuals as the management of the Operating Partnership. These individuals are officers of the Parent Company, and officers and employees of the Operating Partnership.

The Company believes it is important to understand the key differences between the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership in the context of how the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership operate as a consolidated company. The Parent Company is a REIT, whose only material asset is its ownership of Common and Preferred Units of the Operating Partnership. As a result, the Parent Company does not conduct business itself, other than acting as the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, issuing public equity from time to time and guaranteeing certain debt of the Operating Partnership. Except for $200 million of unsecured private placement debt, the Parent Company does not hold any indebtedness, but guarantees all of the unsecured debt of the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership, directly or indirectly, is also the co-issuer and guarantor of the $200 million Parent Company’s unsecured private placement debt referenced above. The Operating Partnership holds all the assets of the Company and ownership of the Company's subsidiaries and equity interests in its joint ventures. Except for net proceeds from public equity issuances by the Parent Company, which are contributed to the Operating Partnership in exchange for Common Units or Preferred Units, the Operating Partnership generates all other capital required by the Company's business. These sources include the Operating Partnership's operations, its direct or indirect incurrence of indebtedness, and the issuance of Common Units and Preferred Units.

Shareholders' equity, partners' capital, and noncontrolling interests are the main areas of difference between the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Parent Company and those of the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership's capital includes the Common Units and the Preferred Units. The limited partners' Common Units in the Operating Partnership owned by third parties are accounted for in partners' capital in the Operating Partnership's financial statements and outside of shareholders' equity in noncontrolling interests in the Parent Company's financial statements. The Preferred Units owned by the Parent Company are eliminated in consolidation in the accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Parent Company and are classified as preferred units of the general partner in the accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Operating Partnership.

In order to highlight the differences between the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership, there are sections in this Report that separately discuss the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership, including separate financial statements, controls and procedures sections, and separate Exhibit 31 and 32 certifications. In the sections that combine disclosure for the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership, this Report refers to actions or holdings as being actions or holdings of the Company.

As general partner with control of the Operating Partnership, the Parent Company consolidates the Operating Partnership for financial reporting purposes, and the Parent Company does not have assets other than its investment in the Operating Partnership. Therefore, while shareholders' equity and partners' capital differ as discussed above, the assets and liabilities of the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership are the same on their respective financial statements.

REGENCY CENTERS CORPORATION AND REGENCY CENTERS, L.P.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2024

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

General

Regency Centers Corporation (the "Parent Company") began its operations as a REIT in 1993 and is the general partner of Regency Centers, L.P. (the "Operating Partnership"). The Parent Company primarily engages in the ownership, management, leasing, acquisition, development, and redevelopment of shopping centers through the Operating Partnership and has no other assets other than through its investment in the Operating Partnership. Its only liabilities are $200 million of unsecured private placement notes, which are co-issued and guaranteed by the Operating Partnership. The Parent Company guarantees all of the unsecured debt of the Operating Partnership.

As of March 31, 2024, the Parent Company, the Operating Partnership, and their controlled subsidiaries on a consolidated basis owned 381 properties and held partial interests in an additional 101 properties through unconsolidated Investments in real estate partnerships (also referred to as "joint ventures" or "investment partnerships").

Basis of Presentation

The information included in this Report should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, as certain disclosures in this Report that would duplicate those included in such Annual Report on Form 10-K are not included in these consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly state the results for the interim periods presented. These adjustments are considered to be of a normal recurring nature.

Acquisition of Urstadt Biddle Properties Inc.

On August 18, 2023, the Company acquired Urstadt Biddle Properties Inc. ("UBP") which was accounted for as an asset acquisition. Under the terms of the merger agreement, each share of Urstadt Biddle common stock and Urstadt Biddle Class A common stock was converted into 0.347 of a share of common stock of the Parent Company. Additionally, each share of UBP’s 6.25% Series H Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock and 5.875% Series K Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock was converted into one share of Parent Company Series A preferred stock and Parent Company Series B preferred stock, respectively.

As a result of the acquisition, the Company acquired 74 properties representing 5.3 million square feet of GLA, including 10 properties held through real estate partnerships. See the Company's audited Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 for further disclosure regarding the acquisition transaction.

Risks and Uncertainties

The success of the Company's tenants in operating their businesses and their corresponding ability to pay rent continue to be influenced by current economic challenges, which may impact their cost of doing business, including but not limited to the impact of inflation, the cost and availability of labor, increasing energy prices and interest rates, and access to credit. Additionally, geopolitical and macroeconomic challenges, including the war involving Russia and Ukraine, current Middle East conflicts and wars, and the economic conflicts with China, as well as the slowing of its economy, could impact aspects of the U.S. economy and, therefore, consumer spending. The policies implemented by the U.S. government to address these and related issues, including changes by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System of its benchmark federal funds rate, increases in federal government spending, and economic sanctions and tariffs, could result in adverse impacts on the U.S. economy, including a slowing of growth and potentially a recession, thereby impacting consumer spending, tenants' businesses, and/or decreasing future demand for space in shopping centers. The potential impact of current macroeconomic and geopolitical challenges on the Company's financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows is subject to change and continues to depend on the extent and duration of these risks and uncertainties. See Item 1A of Part I of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for a more detailed discussion of the Risk Factors potentially impacting the Company's business and results of operations.

Consolidation

The Company consolidates properties that are wholly-owned, and properties where it owns less than 100% but holds a controlling financial interest in the partnerships. Controlling financial interest is determined using an evaluation based on accounting standards related to the consolidation of Variable Interest Entities ("VIEs") and voting interest entities.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2024

Ownership of the Parent Company

The Parent Company has a single class of common stock and two series of preferred stock outstanding.

Ownership of the Operating Partnership

The Operating Partnership's capital includes Common Units and Preferred Units. As of March 31, 2024, the Parent Company owned approximately 99.4% of the outstanding Common Units, with the remaining Common Units held by third parties ("Exchangeable operating partnership units" or "EOP units"). The Parent Company currently owns all of the Preferred Units.

Real Estate Partnerships

As of March 31, 2024, Regency held partial ownership interests in 119 properties through real estate partnerships, of which 18 are consolidated. Regency's partners include institutional investors, real estate developers and/or operators, and passive investors (the "Partners" or "Limited Partners"). These partnerships have been established to own and operate real estate properties. The Company’s involvement with these entities is through its ownership and management of the properties. The entities were deemed VIEs primarily because the unrelated investors do not have substantive kick-out rights to remove the general or managing partner by a vote of a simple majority or less, and they do not have substantive participating rights. Regency has variable interests in these entities through its equity ownership, with Regency being the primary beneficiary in certain of these real estate partnerships. Regency consolidates the partnerships into its financial statements for which it is the primary beneficiary and reports the limited partners' interests as noncontrolling interests. For those partnerships which Regency is not the primary beneficiary and does not have a controlling financial interest, but has significant influence, Regency recognizes its equity investments in them in accordance with the equity method of accounting.

The assets of these partnerships are restricted to use by the respective partnerships and cannot be reached by general creditors of the Company. Similarly, the obligations of the partnerships are backed by, and can only be settled through the assets of these partnerships or by additional capital contributions by the partners.

The carrying amounts of VIEs' assets and liabilities included in the Company's consolidated financial statements, exclusive of the Operating Partnership, are as follows:

(1)

As of March 31, 2024, 98.3% of the variable rate mortgage loans are fixed through interest rate swaps.

(2)

The Line is scheduled to mature on March 23, 2028. The Company has the option to extend the maturity for two additional six-month periods. Weighted average effective rate for the Line is calculated based on a fully drawn Line balance using the period end variable rate.

On January 8, 2024, the Company priced a public offering of $400 million of senior unsecured notes due in 2034, and the notes were issued on January 18, 2024 at 99.617% of par value with a coupon of 5.250%.

On January 18, 2024, the Company entered into a Sixth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "Credit Agreement"), with the financial institutions party thereto, as lenders, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Administrative Agent. The Credit Agreement provides for an unsecured revolving credit facility in the amount of $1.50 billion for a term of four years (plus two six-month extension options) and includes an accordion feature which permits the borrower to request increases in the size of the revolving loan facility by up to an additional $1.50 billion. The interest rate on the revolving credit facility is equal to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") plus a margin that is determined based on the borrower’s long-term unsecured debt ratings and ratio of indebtedness to total asset value. At the time of the closing, the effective interest rate was SOFR plus a credit spread adjustment of 10 basis points plus a margin of 72.5 basis points. The Credit Agreement also incorporates sustainability-linked adjustments to the interest rate, which provide for upward or downward adjustments to the applicable margin if the Company achieves, or fails to achieve, certain specified targets based on Scope 1 and Scope 2 emission standards as set forth in the Credit Agreement. At the time of the closing, a 1 basis point downward sustainability-linked adjustment to the interest rate was applicable.

6. Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company may use derivative financial instruments, including interest rate swaps, caps, options, floors, and other interest rate derivative contracts, to hedge all or a portion of the interest rate risk associated with its borrowings. The principal objective of such arrangements is to minimize the risks and/or costs associated with the Company's operating and financial structure as well as to hedge specific anticipated transactions. The Company does not intend to utilize derivatives for speculative transactions or purposes other than mitigation of interest rate risk. The use of derivative financial instruments carries certain risks, including the risk that the counterparties to these contractual arrangements are not able to perform under the agreements. To mitigate this risk, the Company only enters into derivative financial instruments with counterparties with quality credit ratings. The Company does not anticipate that any of the counterparties will fail to meet their obligations.

The Company's objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to attempt to stabilize interest expense where possible and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount.

Detail on the Company's interest rate derivatives outstanding as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 is as follows:

	Number of Instruments
Interest Rate Swaps	March 31, 2024		December 31, 2023
Notional amount		323,678		294,928
Number of instruments		16		15

Detail on the fair value of the Company's interest rate derivatives as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 is as follows:

(in thousands)	Fair Value
Interest rate swaps classified as:	March 31, 2024			December 31, 2023
Derivative assets	$	16,711			14,213
Derivative liabilities		(393	)		(1,335	)

These derivative financial instruments are all interest rate swaps, which are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges. The Company does not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes and, as of March 31, 2024, does not have any derivatives that are not designated as hedges.

The changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and qualifying as cash flow hedges are recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI") and subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings.

As of March 31, 2024, the Company expects approximately $6.4 million of accumulated comprehensive income on derivative instruments in AOCI, including the Company's share from its Investments in real estate partnerships, to be reclassified into earnings during the next 12 months.

7. Leases

Substantially all of the Company's leases are classified as operating leases. The Company's Lease income is comprised of both fixed and variable income. Fixed and in-substance fixed lease income includes stated amounts per the lease contract, which are primarily related to base rent, and in some cases stated amounts for common area maintenance ("CAM"), real estate taxes, and insurance (collectively, "Recoverable Costs"). Income for these amounts is recognized on a straight-line basis.

Variable lease income includes the following two main items in the lease contracts:

•

Recoveries from tenants represents the tenants' contractual obligations to reimburse the Company for their portion of Recoverable Costs incurred. Generally, the Company's leases provide for the tenants to reimburse the Company based on the tenants' share of the actual costs incurred in proportion to the tenants' share of leased space in the property.

•

Percentage rent represents amounts billable to tenants based on the tenants' actual sales volume in excess of levels specified in the lease contract.

The following table provides a disaggregation of lease income recognized as either fixed or variable lease income based on the criteria specified in ASC Topic 842:

(in thousands)	Three months ended March 31,
	2024			2023
Operating lease income
Fixed and in-substance fixed lease income	$	256,626			219,641

8. Fair Value Measurements

(a) Disclosure of Fair Value of Financial Instruments

All financial instruments of the Company are reflected in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets at amounts which, in management's estimation, reasonably approximate their fair values, except those instruments listed below:

	March 31, 2024				December 31, 2023
(in thousands)	Carrying Amount		Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Fair Value
Financial assets:
Notes receivable(1)	$	30,634		30,634		2,109		2,109
Financial liabilities:
Notes payable, net	$	4,387,181		4,143,622		4,001,949		3,763,152
Unsecured credit facilities(1)	$	30,000		30,000		152,000		152,000

(1)

The carrying amounts approximated its fair values due to the variable nature of the terms or the timing of issuance.

The above fair values represent management's estimate of the amounts that would be received from selling those assets or that would be paid to transfer those liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants as of March 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, respectively. These fair value measurements maximize the use of observable inputs which are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. However, in situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date, the fair value measurement reflects the Company's own judgments about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

The Company develops its judgments based on the best information available at the measurement date, including expected cash flows, appropriate risk-adjusted discount rates, and available observable and unobservable inputs. Service providers involved in fair value measurements are evaluated for competency and qualifications on an ongoing basis. As considerable judgment is often necessary to estimate the fair value of these financial instruments, the fair values presented above are not necessarily indicative of amounts that will be realized upon disposition of the financial instruments.

(b) Recurring Fair Value

The following financial instruments are measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

Securities

The Company has investments in marketable securities that are included within Other assets on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair value of the securities was determined using quoted prices in active markets, which are considered Level 1 inputs of the fair value hierarchy. Changes in the value of securities are recorded within Net investment income in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations, and include unrealized gains of $2.4 million and $1.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

20

REGENCY CENTERS CORPORATION AND REGENCY CENTERS, L.P.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2024

Available-for-Sale Debt Securities

Available-for-sale debt securities consist of investments in certificates of deposit and corporate bonds, and are recorded at fair value using either recent trade prices for the identical debt instrument or comparable instruments by issuers of similar industry sector, issuer rating, and size, to estimate fair value, which are considered Level 2 inputs of the fair value hierarchy. Unrealized gains or losses on these debt securities are recognized through Other comprehensive income.

Interest Rate Derivatives

The fair value of the Company's interest rate derivatives is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities. The Company incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both its own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty's nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements.

Although the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with its derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads, to evaluate the likelihood of default by the Company and its counterparties. The Company has assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions and has determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of its interest rate swaps. As a result, the Company determined that its interest rate swaps valuation in its entirety is classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The following tables present the placement in the fair value hierarchy of assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

Environmental

The Company is subject to numerous environmental laws and regulations. With respect to applicability to the Company, these pertain primarily to chemicals historically used by certain current and former dry cleaning tenants, the existence of asbestos in older shopping centers, older underground petroleum storage tanks and other historic land uses. The Company believes that the ultimate disposition of currently known environmental matters will not have a material effect on its financial position, liquidity, or operations. The Company can give no assurance that existing environmental studies with respect to its shopping centers have revealed all potential environmental contaminants; that its estimate of liabilities will not change as more information becomes available; that any previous owner, occupant or tenant did not create any material environmental condition not known to the Company; that the current environmental condition of the shopping centers will not be affected by tenants and occupants, by the condition of nearby properties, or by unrelated third parties; and that changes in applicable environmental laws and regulations or their interpretation will not result in additional environmental liability to the Company.

The Company had accrued liabilities of $15.9 million and $16.5 million for environmental remediation, which are included in Accounts payable, and other liabilities on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

Letters of Credit

The Company has the right to issue letters of credit under the Line up to an aggregate amount not to exceed $50.0 million, which reduces the credit availability under the Line. These letters of credit are primarily issued as collateral on behalf of its captive insurance subsidiary and to facilitate the construction of development projects. The Company had $8.5 million in letters of credit outstanding as of both March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements in this document regarding anticipated financial, business, legal or other outcomes including business and market conditions, outlook and other similar statements relating to Regency's future events, developments, or financial or operational performance or results, are "forward-looking statements" made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and other federal securities laws. These forward-looking statements are identified by the use of words such as "may," "will," "could," "should," "would," "expect," "estimate," "believe," "intend," "forecast," "project," "plan," "anticipate," "guidance," and other similar language. However, the absence of these or similar words or expressions does not mean a statement is not forward-looking. While we believe these forward-looking statements are reasonable when made, forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance or events and undue reliance should not be placed on these statements. Although we believe the expectations reflected in any forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, we can give no assurance these expectations will be attained, and it is possible actual results may differ materially from those indicated by these forward-looking statements due to a variety of risks and uncertainties.

Our operations are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties including, but not limited to, risk factors described in our Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") filings, our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 ("2023 Form 10-K") under Item 1A. "Risk Factors" and in Part II, Item 1A. "Risk Factors" in this Report. When considering an investment in our securities, you should carefully read and consider these risks, together with all other information in our most recent 2023 Form 10-K, subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and our other filings with and submissions to the SEC. If any of the events described in the risk factors actually occur, our business, financial condition or operating results, as well as the market price of our securities, could be materially adversely affected. Forward-looking statements are only as of the date they are made, and Regency undertakes no duty to update its forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or developments or otherwise, except as and to the extent required by law.

Non-GAAP Measures

In addition to the required Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") presentations, we use and report certain non-GAAP measures as we believe these measures improve the understanding of our operational results. We believe these non-GAAP measures provide useful information to our Board of Directors, management and investors regarding certain trends relating to our financial condition and results of operations. Our management uses these non-GAAP measures to compare our performance to that of prior periods for trend analyses, purposes of determining management incentive compensation and budgeting, forecasting and planning purposes. We continually evaluate the usefulness, relevance, limitations, and calculation of our reported non-GAAP measures to determine how best to provide relevant information to the public, and thus such reported measures could change.

We do not consider non-GAAP measures an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP, rather they supplement GAAP measures by providing additional information we believe to be useful to our shareholders. The principal limitation of these non-GAAP measures is that they may exclude significant expense and income items that are required by GAAP to be recognized in our Consolidated Financial Statements. In addition, they reflect the exercise of management's judgment about which expense and income items are excluded or included in determining these non-GAAP measures. In order to compensate for these limitations, reconciliations of the non-GAAP measures we use to their most directly comparable GAAP measures are provided. Non-GAAP measures should not be relied upon in evaluating the financial condition, results of operations, or future prospects of the Company.

Defined Terms

The following terms, as defined, are commonly used by management and the investing public to understand and evaluate our operational results, and are included in this document:

•

Adjusted Funds From Operations ("AFFO") is an additional performance measure used by Regency that reflects cash available to fund the Company’s business needs and distribution to shareholders. AFFO is calculated by adjusting Core Operating Earnings ("COE") for (i) capital expenditures necessary to maintain and lease the Company’s portfolio of properties, (ii) debt cost and derivative adjustments and (iii) stock-based compensation.

•

Core Operating Earnings is an additional performance measure we use because the computation of Nareit Funds from Operations ("Nareit FFO") includes certain non-comparable items that affect our period-over-period performance. Core Operating Earnings excludes from Nareit FFO: (i) transaction related income or expenses, (ii) gains or losses from the early extinguishment of debt, (iii) certain non-cash components of earnings derived from straight-line rents, above and below market rent amortization, and debt and derivative mark-to-market amortization, and (iv) other amounts as they occur. We provide reconciliations of both Net Income Attributable to Common Shareholders to Nareit FFO and Nareit FFO to Core Operating Earnings.

25

•

Development Completion is a Property in Development that is deemed complete upon the earlier of: (i) 90% of total estimated net development costs have been incurred and percent leased equals or exceeds 95%, or (ii) the property features at least two years of anchor operations. Once deemed complete, the property is termed a Retail Operating Property.

•

Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is defined as Operating EBITDAre divided by the sum of the gross interest and scheduled mortgage principal paid to our lenders.

•

Nareit EBITDAre is a measure of REIT performance, which the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("Nareit") defines as net income, computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding (i) interest expense, (ii) income tax expense, (iii) depreciation and amortization, (iv) gains on sales of real estate, (v) impairments of real estate, and (vi) adjustments to reflect the Company's share of unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.

•

Nareit Funds from Operations ("Nareit FFO") is a commonly used measure of REIT performance, which Nareit defines as net income, computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains on sales and impairments of real estate, net of tax, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. We compute Nareit FFO for all periods presented in accordance with Nareit's definition.

Companies use different depreciable lives and methods, and real estate values historically fluctuate with market conditions. Since Nareit FFO excludes depreciation and amortization and gains on sale and impairments of real estate, it provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, reflects the impact on operations from trends in percent leased, rental rates, operating costs, acquisition and development activities, and financing costs. This provides a perspective of our financial performance not immediately apparent from net income determined in accordance with GAAP. Thus, Nareit FFO is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure of our operating performance, which does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP; and, therefore, should not be considered a substitute measure of cash flows from operations. We provide a reconciliation of Net Income Attributable to Common Shareholders to Nareit FFO.

•

Net Operating Income ("NOI") is the sum of base rent, percentage rent, recoveries from tenants, other lease income, and other property income, less operating and maintenance expenses, real estate taxes, ground rent, and uncollectible lease income. NOI excludes straight-line rental income and expense, above and below market rent and ground rent amortization, tenant lease inducement amortization, and other fees. We also provide disclosure of NOI excluding termination fees, which excludes both termination fee income and expenses.

•

A Non-Same Property is any property, during either calendar year period being compared, that was acquired, sold, a Property in Development, a Development Completion, or a property under, or being positioned for, significant redevelopment that distorts comparability between periods. Non-retail properties and corporate activities, including the captive insurance program, are part of Non-Same Property.

•

Operating EBITDAre begins with Nareit EBITDAre and excludes certain non-cash components of earnings derived from straight-line rents and above and below market rent amortization. We provide a reconciliation of Net income to Nareit EBITDAre to Operating EBITDAre.

•

Pro-rata information includes 100% of our consolidated properties plus our economic share (based on our ownership interest) in our unconsolidated real estate investment partnerships.

We provide Pro-rata financial information because we believe it assists investors and analysts in estimating our economic interest in our consolidated and unconsolidated partnerships, when read in conjunction with our reported results under GAAP. We believe presenting our Pro-rata share of assets, liabilities, operating results, and other metrics, along with certain other non-GAAP measures, makes comparisons of our operating results to those of other REITs more meaningful. The Pro-rata information provided is not, nor is it intended to be, presented in accordance with GAAP. The Pro-rata supplemental details of assets and liabilities and supplemental details of operations reflect our proportionate economic ownership of the assets, liabilities, and operating results of the properties in our portfolio.

The Pro-rata information is prepared on a basis consistent with the comparable consolidated amounts and is intended to more accurately reflect our proportionate economic interest in the assets, liabilities, and operating results of properties in our portfolio. We do not control the unconsolidated investment partnerships, and the Pro-rata presentations of the assets and liabilities, and revenues and expenses do not represent our legal claim to such items. The partners are entitled to profit or loss allocations and distributions of cash flows according to the operating agreements, which generally provide for such allocations according to their invested capital. Our share of invested capital establishes the ownership interests we use to prepare our Pro-rata share.

The presentation of Pro-rata information has limitations which include, but are not limited to, the following:

o

The amounts shown on the individual line items were derived by applying our overall economic ownership interest percentage determined when applying the equity method of accounting and do not necessarily represent our legal claim to the assets and liabilities, or the revenues and expenses; and

o

Other companies in our industry may calculate their Pro-rata interest differently, limiting the comparability of Pro-rata information.

26

Because of these limitations, the Pro-rata financial information should not be considered independently or as a substitute for our financial statements as reported under GAAP. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP financial statements, using the Pro-rata information as a supplement.

•

Property In Development includes properties in various stages of ground-up development.

•

Property In Redevelopment includes Retail Operating Properties under redevelopment or being positioned for redevelopment. Unless otherwise indicated, a Property in Redevelopment is included in the Same Property pool.

•

Redevelopment Completion is a Property in Redevelopment that is deemed complete upon the earlier of: (i) 90% of total estimated project costs have been incurred and percent leased equals or exceeds 95% for the Company owned GLA related to the project, or (ii) the property features at least two years of anchor operations, if applicable.

•

Retail Operating Property is any retail property not termed a Property in Development. A retail property is any property where the majority of the income is generated from retail uses.

•

Same Property is a Retail Operating Property that was owned and operated for the entirety of both calendar year periods being compared. This term excludes Properties in Development, prior year Development Completions, and Non-Same Properties. Properties in Redevelopment are included unless otherwise indicated.

Overview of Our Strategy

Regency Centers Corporation began operations as a publicly-traded REIT in 1993. All of our operating, investing, and financing activities are performed through our Operating Partnership, Regency Centers, L.P. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and through our real estate partnerships. As of March 31, 2024, the Parent Company owned approximately 99.4% of the outstanding Common Units and 100% of the Preferred Units of the Operating Partnership.

We are a preeminent national owner, operator, and developer of neighborhood and community shopping centers predominantly located in suburban trade areas with compelling demographics. As of March 31, 2024, we had full or partial ownership interests in 482 retail properties. Our properties are high-quality neighborhood and community shopping centers primarily anchored by market leading grocers and principally located in suburban markets within the country's most desirable metro areas and contain approximately 57.0 million square feet ("SF") of gross leasable area ("GLA"). Our mission is to create thriving environments for retailers and service providers to connect with surrounding neighborhoods and communities. Our vision is to elevate quality of life as an integral thread in the fabric of our communities. Our portfolio includes thriving properties merchandised with highly productive grocers, restaurants, service providers, and best-in-class retailers that connect with their neighborhoods, communities, and customers.

Our values:

•

We are our people: Our people are our greatest asset, and we believe that a talented team from diverse backgrounds and experiences makes us better.

We believe that this strategy will result in highly desirable and attractive centers with best-in-class retailers. These centers should command higher rental and occupancy rates resulting in excellent prospects to grow NOI;

•

Create shareholder value by increasing earnings and dividends per share that generate total returns at or near the top of our shopping center peers;

•

Maintain an industry leading, disciplined development and redevelopment platform to create exceptional retail centers that deliver favorable returns;

27

•

Engage and retain an exceptional and diverse team that is guided by our strong values, while fostering an environment of innovation and continuous improvement.

Risks and Uncertainties

Refer to Item 1, Note 1 to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.

Please also refer to the Risk Factors discussed in Item 1A of Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, and the Risk Factors described in Part II, Item 1A of this Form 10-Q.

Executing on our Strategy

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we had Net income attributable to common shareholders of $106.4 million as compared to $97.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024:

•

Our Pro-rata same property NOI, excluding termination fees, grew 1.4%, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023, primarily attributable to improvements in base rent from increases in year over year occupancy rates, contractual rent steps in existing leases, and positive rent spreads on comparable new and renewal leases.

•

We executed 461 new and renewal leasing transactions representing 2.0 million Pro-rata SF with positive rent spreads of 8.5% during the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to 405 leasing transactions representing 1.1 million Pro-rata SF with positive rent spreads of 5.5% during the three months ended March 31, 2023. Rent spreads are calculated on all executed leasing transactions for comparable Retail Operating Property spaces, including spaces vacant greater than 12 months.

•

At March 31, 2024, December 31, 2023, and March 31, 2023 our total property portfolio was 95.0%, 95.1%, and 94.9% leased, respectively. At March 31, 2024, December 31, 2023, and March 31, 2023 our same property portfolio was 95.8%, 95.7%, and 95.1% leased, respectively.

We continued our development and redevelopment of high quality shopping centers:

•

Estimated Pro-rata project costs of our current in process development and redevelopment projects totaled $547.1 million at March 31, 2024, compared to $468.1 million at December 31, 2023.

•

Development and redevelopment projects completed during 2024 represented $3.1 million of estimated net project costs, with an average stabilized yield of 9.8%.

We maintained liquidity and financial flexibility to cost effectively fund investment opportunities and debt maturities:

•

At both March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, our Pro-rata net debt and Preferred Stock-to-operating EBITDAre ratio on a trailing 12 month basis was 5.4x.

•

On January 8, 2024, Regency priced a public offering of $400 million of senior unsecured debt due in 2034, with a coupon of 5.250% . The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the offering to reduce the outstanding balance on its line of credit and for general corporate purposes, including, but not limited to, the future repayment of outstanding debt. We invested a portion of the net proceeds in certificates of deposit and within short-term U.S. Treasury funds until such time as the proceeds are required.

•

We have $250 million of unsecured debt maturing in June 2024, which we intend to pay off by utilizing the proceeds available from the January 2024 offering noted above.

•

In February, Regency received a credit rating upgrade to A3 with a stable outlook by Moody's Investors Service.

•

We have $196.1 million of secured loan maturities during the next 12 months, including maturities within our unconsolidated real estate partnerships, which we intend to refinance or pay-off as they mature.

•

At March 31, 2024, we had $1.46 billion available on the Line, which expires March 23, 2028 with the option to extend the maturity for two additional six-month periods.

The weighted-average base rent PSF on signed Shop Space leases during 2024 was $37.40 PSF, which is higher than the weighted average annual base rent PSF of all Shop Space leases due to expire during the next 12 months of $33.81 PSF. New and renewal rent spreads, compared to prior rents on these same spaces leased, were positive at 8.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to 5.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Significant Tenants and Concentrations of Credit Risk

We seek to reduce our operating and leasing risks through geographic diversification of our properties and by avoiding dependence on any single property, market, or tenant. Based on percentage of annualized base rent, the following table summarizes our most significant tenants, of which four of the top five are grocers:

	March 31, 2024
Tenant	Number of Stores		Percentage of Company- owned GLA (1)	Percentage of Annual Base Rent (1)
Publix		68	6.4%	3.0%

Amazon/Whole Foods		39	2.8%	2.7%
Kroger Co.		52	6.3%	2.6%

Bankruptcies and Credit Concerns

Our management team devotes significant time to researching and monitoring consumer preferences and trends, customer shopping behaviors, changes in delivery methods, shifts to e-commerce, and changing demographics in order to anticipate the challenges and opportunities impacting our industry. We seek to mitigate these potential impacts through maintaining a high quality portfolio, diversifying our tenant mix, replacing less successful tenants with stronger operators, anchoring our centers with market leading grocery stores that drive customer traffic, and investing in suburban trade areas with compelling demographic populations benefiting from high levels of disposal income. The potential for a recession and the severity and duration of any economic downturn could negatively impact our existing tenants and their ability to continue to meet their lease obligations.

Although base rent is derived from long-term lease contracts, tenants that file for bankruptcy generally have the legal right to reject any or all of their leases and close related stores. Any unsecured claim we hold against a bankrupt tenant for unpaid rent might be paid only to the extent that funds are available and only in the same percentage as is paid to all other holders of unsecured claims. As a result, it is likely that we would recover substantially less than the full value of any unsecured claims we hold. Additionally, we may incur significant expense to adjudicate our claim and significant downtime to re-lease the vacated space. In the event that a tenant with a significant number of leases in our shopping centers files for bankruptcy and rejects its leases, we could experience a significant reduction in our revenues. Tenants who are currently in bankruptcy and continue to occupy space in our shopping centers represent an aggregate of 0.6% of our Pro-rata annual base rent, which is primarily related to Rite Aid who filed in October 2023.

o

$24.8 million increase from acquisition of UBP;

o

$5.6 million net increase from same properties, including:

o

$0.4 million increase from rents commencing at development properties and the acquisition of other operating properties.

•

$3.2 million change in Uncollectible lease income primarily driven by the 2023 collections of previously reserved amounts, which have continued in 2024 but to a lesser degree.

o

$3.1 million decrease in lease termination fees, partially offset by

o

$1.8 million increase driven by acquisition of UBP.

Supplemental Earnings Information

We use certain non-GAAP measures, in addition to certain performance metrics determined under GAAP, as we believe these measures improve the understanding of the operating results. We believe these non-GAAP measures provide useful information to our Board of Directors, management and investors regarding certain trends relating to our financial condition and results of operations. Our management uses these non-GAAP measures to compare our performance to that of prior periods for trend analyses, purposes of determining management incentive compensation and budgeting, forecasting and planning purposes. We provide Pro-rata financial information because we believe it assists investors and analysts in estimating our economic interest in our consolidated and unconsolidated real estate partnerships, when read in conjunction with our reported results under GAAP. We believe presenting our Pro-rata share of operating results, along with other non-GAAP measures, may assist in comparing our operating results to other REITs. We continually evaluate the usefulness, relevance, limitations, and calculation of our reported non-GAAP measures to determine how best to provide relevant information to the public, and thus such reported non-GAAP measures could change. See "Non-GAAP Measures" at the beginning of this Management's Discussion and Analysis.

We do not consider non-GAAP measures as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP, rather they supplement GAAP measures by providing additional information we believe to be useful to our shareholders. The principal limitation of these non-GAAP measures is they may exclude significant expense and income items that are required by GAAP to be recognized in our Consolidated Financial Statements. In addition, they reflect the exercise of management's judgment about which expense and income items are excluded or included in determining these non-GAAP measures. In order to compensate for these limitations, reconciliations of the non-GAAP measures we use to their most directly comparable GAAP measures are provided, including as set forth below. Non-GAAP measures should not be relied upon in evaluating the financial condition, results of operations, or future prospects.

Pro-rata same property NOI growth, excluding termination fees							1.4	%

Real estate revenue increased $4.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024, as follows:

•

Base rent increased $6.3 million due to rent steps in existing leases, positive rental spreads on new and renewal leases, and increases in occupancy, as well as redevelopment projects completing and operating.

•

Recoveries from tenants increased $4.1 million due to increases in recoverable expenses.

•

Termination fees decreased $3.3 million driven by terminations that were recognized in 2023.

•

Uncollectible lease income changed by $2.9 million primarily driven by higher collections in 2023 of previously reserved amounts which have continued in 2024, but to a lesser degree.

Total real estate operating expense increased $4.8 million as follows:

•

Operating and maintenance increased $4.0 million primarily due to increases in property insurance, common area maintenance and other tenant-recoverable costs.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General

We use cash flows generated from operating, investing, and financing activities to strengthen our balance sheet, finance our development and redevelopment projects, fund our investment activities, and maintain financial flexibility. A significant portion of our cash from operations is distributed to our common shareholders in the form of dividends in order to maintain our status as a REIT.

Except for $200 million of private placement debt, our Parent Company has no capital commitments other than its guarantees of the commitments of our Operating Partnership. All remaining debt is held by our Operating Partnership, its subsidiaries, or by our real estate partnerships. The Operating Partnership is a co-issuer and a guarantor of the $200 million of outstanding debt of our Parent Company. The Parent Company will from time to time access the capital markets for the purpose of issuing new equity, and will simultaneously contribute all of the offering proceeds to the Operating Partnership in exchange for additional partnership units.

We continually assess our available liquidity and our expected cash requirements, including monitoring our tenant rent collections. We have access to and draw on multiple financing sources to fund our operations and our long-term capital needs, including the requirements of our in process and planned developments, redevelopments, other capital expenditures, and the repayment of debt. We expect to meet these needs by using a combination of the following: cash flow from operations after funding our common stock and preferred stock dividends, borrowings from our Line, proceeds from the sale of real estate, mortgage loan and unsecured bank financing, distributions received from our real estate partnerships, and when the capital markets are favorable, proceeds from the sale of equity securities or the issuance of new unsecured debt. We continually evaluate alternative financing options, and we believe we can obtain new financing on reasonable terms, although likely at higher interest rates than that of our debt currently outstanding, due to the current interest rate environment.

On January 8, 2024, Regency priced a public offering of $400 million of senior unsecured notes due in 2034 (the “2024 Notes”) under our existing shelf registration filed with the SEC. The Notes mature on January 15, 2034, and were issued at 99.617% of par value with a coupon of 5.25%. We have $250 million of unsecured debt maturing in June 2024, which we intend to pay off by utilizing the proceeds available from the 2024 Notes. In addition, we have $196.1 million of secured loan maturities during the next 12 months, including maturities within our unconsolidated real estate partnerships, which we intend to refinance or pay-off as they mature. Based upon our available cash balance, sources of capital, our current credit ratings, and the number of high quality, unencumbered properties we own, we believe our available capital resources are sufficient to meet our expected capital needs for the next year, although, in the longer term, we can provide no assurances.

In addition to our $224.7 million of unrestricted cash, we have the following additional sources of capital available:

(in thousands)	March 31, 2024
ATM program
Original offering amount	$	500,000
Available capacity	$	500,000

Maturity (2)	March 23, 2028

(1)

Net of letters of credit issued against our Line.

(2)

The Company has the option to extend the maturity for two additional six-month periods.

The declaration of dividends is determined quarterly by our Board of Directors. On May 1, 2024, our Board of Directors:

•

Declared a common stock dividend of $0.67 per share, payable on July 3, 2024, to shareholders of record as of June 12, 2024;

•

Declared a dividend on the Series A Preferred Stock, which will be paid at a rate of $0.390625 per share on July 31, 2024. The dividend will be payable to holders of record of the Series A Preferred Stock as of the close of business on July 16, 2024; and

•

Declared a dividend on the Series B Preferred Stock, which will be paid at a rate of $0.367200 per share on July 31, 2024. The dividend will be payable to holders of record of the Series B Preferred Stock as of the close of business on July 16, 2024.

While future dividends will be determined at the discretion of our Board of Directors, we plan to continue paying an aggregate amount of distributions to our stock and unit holders that, at a minimum, meet the requirements to continue qualifying as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. We have historically generated sufficient cash flow from operations to fund our dividend distributions. During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, we generated cash flow from operations of $167.8 million and $162.1 million, respectively, and paid $127.7 million in dividends to our common and preferred stock and unit holders, and $111.6 million in dividends to our common stock and unit holders, in the same respective periods.

We currently have development and redevelopment projects in various stages of construction, along with a pipeline of potential projects for future development or redevelopment. After funding our common and preferred stock dividend payments in April of 2024, we estimate that we will require capital during the next 12 months of approximately $715.5 million related to leasing commissions, tenant improvements, in-process developments and redevelopments, capital contributions to our real estate partnerships, and repaying maturing debt. These capital requirements are being impacted by inflation resulting in increased costs of construction materials, labor, and services from third party contractors and suppliers. In response, we have implemented mitigation strategies such as entering into fixed cost construction contracts, pre-ordering materials, and other planning efforts. Further, continued challenges from permitting delays and labor shortages may extend the time to completion of these projects.

If we start new developments or redevelopments, commit to property acquisitions, repay debt prior to maturity, declare future dividends, or repurchase shares of our common stock, our cash requirements will increase. If we refinance maturing debt, our cash requirements will decrease.

We endeavor to maintain a high percentage of unencumbered assets. As of March 31, 2024, 87.6% of our wholly-owned real estate assets were unencumbered. Our low level of encumbered assets allows us to more readily access the secured and unsecured debt markets and to maintain borrowing capacity on the Line. Our trailing 12 month fixed charge coverage ratio, including our Pro-rata share of our partnerships, was 4.5x and 4.7x for the periods ended March 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, respectively, and our Pro-rata net debt and Preferred Stock-to-operating EBITDAre ratio on a trailing 12 month basis was 5.4x during the same periods.

Our Line and unsecured debt require that we remain in compliance with various covenants, which are described in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our 2023 Form 10-K. The debt assumed in conjunction with the UBP acquisition contain covenants that are consistent with our existing debt covenants. We were in compliance with these covenants at March 31, 2024, and expect to remain in compliance.

We sold one operating property in 2024 for proceeds of $30.0 million compared to one land parcel in 2023 for proceeds of $3.6 million.

•

We received additional property insurance claim proceeds of $4.1 million in 2024 attributable to a single property that was impacted by a weather event in 2019.

•

We issued a note receivable in the amount of $29.8 million at an interest rate of 6.9% maturing in January 2027, secured by a grocery-anchored shopping center.

•

Investments in real estate partnerships:

o

In 2024, we invested $4.2 million to fund our share of development and redevelopment activities.

o

In 2023, we invested $0.6 million to fund our share of development and redevelopment activities.

•

o

During the same period in 2023, we had no such activity.

•

Acquisition of securities and proceeds from sale of securities pertain to investment activities held in our captive insurance company and our deferred compensation plan. Additionally, the Company invested approximately $90 million in commercial deposits from the proceeds received from the January public offering of senior unsecured notes.

37

We plan to continue developing and redeveloping shopping centers for long-term investment. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we deployed capital of $60.9 million for the development, redevelopment, and improvement of our real estate properties, comprised of the following:

	Three months ended March 31,
(in thousands)	2024		2023		Change
Capital expenditures:
Land acquisitions	$	7,836		—		7,836
Building and tenant improvements		17,914		14,998		2,916
Redevelopment costs		19,938		20,610		(672	)

Capitalized direct compensation		4,427		1,890		2,537
Real estate development and capital improvements	$	60,850		44,569		16,281

•

We acquired one land parcel for development in 2024.

•

Building and tenant improvements increased $2.9 million in 2024, primarily related to the timing of capital projects.

•

Redevelopment costs are in line with prior year. We intend to continuously improve our portfolio of shopping centers through redevelopment which can include adjacent land acquisition, existing building expansion, facade renovation, new out-parcel building construction, and redevelopment related tenant improvement costs. The size and magnitude of each redevelopment project varies with each redevelopment plan. The timing and duration of these projects could also result in volatility in NOI. See the tables below for more details about our redevelopment projects.

•

Development costs are higher in 2024 due to the progress towards completion of our development projects in process. See the tables below for more details about our development projects.

•

Interest is capitalized on our development and redevelopment projects and is based on cumulative actual costs expended. We cease interest capitalization when the property is no longer being developed or is available for occupancy upon substantial completion of tenant improvements, but in no event would we capitalize interest on the project beyond 12 months after the anchor tenant opens for business. If we reduce our development and redevelopment activity, the amount of interest that we capitalize may be lower than historical averages.

•

We have a staff of employees who directly support our development program, which includes redevelopment of our existing properties. Internal compensation costs directly attributable to these activities are capitalized as part of each project.

(1)

Reflects scheduled principal payments and maturities for the remainder of the year.

At March 31, 2024, our investments in real estate partnerships had notes payable of $1.5 billion maturing through 2034, of which 94.8% had a weighted average fixed interest rate of 3.8%. The remaining notes payable float with SOFR and had a weighted average variable interest rate of 7.3%, based on rates as of March 31, 2024. These fixed and variable rate notes payable are all non-recourse, and our Pro-rata share was $540.1 million as of March 31, 2024. As notes payable mature, they are expected to be repaid from proceeds from new borrowings and/or partner capital contributions. Refinancing debt at maturity in the current interest rate environment could result in higher interest expense in future periods if rates remain elevated.

We believe that our partners are financially sound and have sufficient capital or access thereto to fund future capital requirements. In the event that a real estate investment partner is unable to fund its share of the capital requirements of the real estate partnership, we would have the right, but not the obligation, to loan the defaulting partner the amount of its capital call which would be secured by the partner's membership interest.

Management fee income

In addition to earning our Pro-rata share of net income or loss in each of these real estate partnerships, we receive fees as shown below:

Critical Accounting Estimates

There have been no material changes in our Critical Accounting Estimates from the information provided in the "Critical Accounting Estimates" section of "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in our Form 10-K.

Environmental Matters

We are subject to numerous environmental laws and regulations, which primarily pertain to chemicals historically used by certain current and former dry cleaning and gas station tenants and the existence of asbestos in older shopping centers. We believe that the relatively few tenants who currently operate dry cleaning plants or gas stations do so in accordance with current laws and regulations. Generally, we endeavor to require tenants to remove dry cleaning plants from our shopping centers or convert them to more environmentally friendly systems, in accordance with the terms of our leases. We carry an environmental insurance policy for certain third-party liabilities and, in certain circumstances, remediation costs on shopping centers for currently unknown contamination. We have also secured environmental insurance policies, where appropriate, on a relatively small number of specific properties with known contamination, in order to mitigate our environmental risk. We monitor the shopping centers containing environmental issues and in certain cases voluntarily remediate the sites. We also have legal obligations to remediate certain sites and we are in the process of doing so.

41

As of March 31, 2024, we had accrued liabilities of $15.9 million for our consolidated environmental remediation, including our Investments in real estate partnerships. We believe that the ultimate remediation of currently known environmental matters will not have a material effect on our financial position, cash flows, or results of operations. We can give no assurance that existing environmental studies on our shopping centers have revealed all potential environmental contamination; that our estimate of liabilities will not change as more information becomes available; that any previous owner, occupant or tenant did not create any material environmental condition not known to us; that the current environmental condition of the shopping centers will not be affected by tenants and occupants, by the condition of nearby properties, or by unrelated third parties; or that changes in applicable environmental laws and regulations or their interpretation will not result in additional environmental liability to us.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We continuously monitor the capital markets and evaluate our ability to issue new debt, to repay maturing debt, or to fund our commitments. We continue to believe, in light of our credit ratings, the available capacity under our unsecured credit facility, and the number of high quality, unencumbered properties that we own which could collateralize borrowings, we will be able to successfully issue new secured or unsecured debt to fund maturing debt obligations. It is uncertain the degree to which capital market volatility and rising interest rates will adversely impact the interest rates on any new debt that we may issue. Please also refer to the Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, discussed in Item 1A of Part I thereof, and the Risk Factors described in Part II, Item 1A of this Form 10-Q.
